Amidft the general rejoicings on account of his
blajefty's birth day, a very extraordinary perlonage
fulienly made his appearance at Leith. This was
none other than

GENERAL BONAPARTE,
(or at leaft his effigy) in full military uniform. Up.
on what part of the coati he landed, or by what 'fel-
la he got over and efcaped our fleets, we do not flop
to enquire. But no bower was he recognized than
he was mounted on men's moulders; and, as might
be expeCted, rapidly advanced towards the capital,
attended by an immenfe multitude eager to gratify
their curiofity by a full view of this celebrated per-
fonage. But inflead of experiencing thole flattering
honours to which he has been fo lung accuftomed,
the Firft Conful of the great nation met with nothing
but buffetings and infults. He was, however, con-
cluded through the principal ftreets of Edinburgh ;
and notwithftanding the roughnefs of his treat-
ment he bore it with a confiderable degree # ford-
tude, taiiiag ghee ineffantly ; but as he fpofe in an
outlandifh tongue, very little of what he Paid could
be underftood, except a few broken fentences refpea-
ing Malta, and an invafion of England. In the even-
ing he was condulted back to Leith. where a Court
of-Inquiry was immediately convened. Before this
court he was filled to anfwer for his conduit.
The charges were fo numerous that we cannot de-
tail them ; but among others he was accufed of con.
(piracy againft the liberties of mankind ; of oppreffing
' the Swifs ; of attempting to overturn the fettled laws
of nations ; and of daring to invade the Conftitution
of this country, and to abridge the rights and liberties
of Britons.—A journeyman printer, who was prefent,
inveighed againft him with great bitternefs, for hav-
ing dared to esprefs even a with, that the liberty of
the prefa fliould be fuppreffed in this happy country,
which he hoped would neyer be difgraced with French
philofoph y, or French politics. The orator concluded
by obferving, that for this crime alone he deferved
to "girn the widely." The charges being fully proved,
fentence was pronounced nearly lathe following terms :
4, You. the Effigy of Bonaparte, Chief Conful of
France, Prefident of the Italian Republic, a Corfican
by birth, and once a profeffed Muffulman. mutt be
fatisfied that you have now met a fair trial, and that
the charges againft you are clearly proved. They are
of great enormity. To extend mercy would be with-
nut jullice ; therefore, to avoid that error, you (hall
have juftice M ithout mercy, The fentence of the law
is, that you be hanged and burnt in five minutes, as
a leffon to all ufurpers in time coming."
The lenience was immediately carved into effea,
the Court diffolved, and the members returned to
their refpeEtive homes.
We are concerned to whiles the prefent high
prices if provifions and the neceffaries of life : grain,
coals, and butcher's meat are all on the advance, as
well as fifh very fcarce : Salmon, left week, was fold
at the Weft part of the Town at as. 6d. per pound.
*lli, is chiefly owing to the hong general imprefs.
It would conduce much to the public gond, was the
Admiralty to grant &ma Pe protslions to veffels
with there articles—it would enfure plentiful fupplies.

A fingular dalcovery is Rated in the Pat is Papers to
have been lately made in the neighbourhood of Nice.
It is a van cavern, the entrance to which is very nar-
row. The in(ide of this cavern, the whole extent of
which has not yet been explored, contains feveral van
apartments, which refemble temples, ornamented with
columns formed by crynalifed water. One of the
apartments is capable of halting four hundred per-
lons. From the reflation of the cryfial, very little
light is-Inca:try to illuminate the inlide in the mull
magnificent manner.
The public have often had occanon to reprobate
the ciintinal conclua of the drivers of Rage coaches,
by whole carelclfnefs, or imprudence, there carriages
ate frequently overturned, to the great danger, and
often to the defiruaion of the paffengers. A melan-
choly inflance of this mifcondua occurred laR week,
by the Hartford coach being overturned at Stam-
ford Hill, in confequenee of which, Mr. Wit.knurts,
coin dealer of Stannead, was unfortunately lit inueli
hurt, that he died Coon after. NVe lincerely hope
that fomc effcaual means may be adopted to pre•
' vent fuch accidents it, future, and to oblige coach-
men to be more attentive to their duty. In the pre-
feat inftance the driver had been repeatedly mind'-
ed by the pairengers to dcfill from driving in lo fu-
, linos a manner, but their admonitions were attended
%ill.
