A private letter from Dresden, says—" I stated in
my former communication, that the whole Saxon
army, including the King's body gnarl, is limited to
10,000 men, five thousand of are u::It the
Army of Occupation on the French frontiers, so that
the total number of troops in the interior of Saxony
is 5,000. The King of Saxony is the idol of his
people, and deeply do they lament the abridgment
of his power, or, I should rather say. his rights.—
Other Monarchs, who violated their faith and their
honour during the last war, has c been more gene-
rously dealt with. The Prussian at my consists of
400,000 men, and a considerable part of this army
must be incessantly upon the alert to suppress and
keep down the spirit of discontent which prevails in,
the North of Germany—it lives, however, like the
lava in the bowels of Vesuvius. The fortresses of
Dresden arc all dismantled, and, except the grand
fortress of Koniz,stein, perhaps the most impreg-
nable in Europe, she has no power of resistance left
in her dominions."
CAUTION TO PUBLICA::S.—The Bar of the Lion
and Key public-house, Tooley-street, was
last week robbed in the night time of a sum of money
in Bank notes, and a silver watch, chain, and seals,
which the daughter of the landlady had taken charge
of for a gentleman and lady, lodgers in the house.—
Information was immediately, on discovery of the
,robbery, given to the Bank, and one of the notes
I was afterwards paid in, and traced to the coach-office
in Basing-lane, where it had been paid for a price
in the coach to Bri,tol. The person who committed
the robbery is supposed to have been a man dressed
in the habit of a sailor, who lodged in the house on
the night of the robbery.
CntotEr.—A return match of Cricket was played
on Kennington Common on Wednesday last, between
the Gentlemen of the Saturday's Kennington Club,
and the Gentlemen of the Blackheath Club, when
the latter Gentlemen won easy, having five wickets
to go down, when they were declared the winners.
JEMMY, AUGUST B.—The harvest in this island is
now nearly over. The quantity of apples is beyond
almost what has been ever known, as well in France
as in these islands. Melons are abundant in the mar-
itet, and grapes of a large size and rich flavour were
sold last week for 2s. per pound. Great quantities
of plums arrive daily from France, retailed from one
penny to two pence the dozen. The Southampton
traders that arrive weekly from England are loaded
with passengers like Gravesend boats. The passen-
gers make these islands their way to France. This
morning a small vessel sailed for Grandville with
fifty passengers, English, French, and some inhabi-
tants of this island, who are going to the peat fair
of Gitibray, which begins on Monday week. This
fair is attended by people from all parts of France,
with merchandize of all descriptions, cattle, &c. and
lasts fourteen days.
