On the royal family paffing through Dorchefter, the troops at the camp were drawn up on Monkton-hill; they made a very fine appearance; their line reached as far as Ridgeway, in the parish of Upway they confift of the firft and third regiments of dragoons, or Scotch greys: in the centre were the royal Lancashire and Staffordshire militia, with the 11th, 15th, and 16th light dragoons, The royal Anglefea and Weymouth volunteers received their majefties on .their alighting from their carriages, amidst a vaft concourfe of people, who teftified their joy, by their repeated acclamations of Long live the king and queen! long live the royal family!" As foon as their majefties entered Gloucefter lodge, a grand falute was fired from the St. Fiorenzo, La Nymph, and Aftræa frigates; after dinner, the royal family and their attendants walked on the Efplanade till dark, when a general illumination took place through the town.

Laft week, as a boy was reaching from one vessel to another in Hull harbour, he fell into the water, and would inevitably have been drowned, had nota Newfoundland dog jumped in, and taking hold of his arm, dragged him to fome timber that was floating near the place, by which means the boy was faved. 6. The laft arch of the grand aqueduct bridge over the river Loyne, near Prefton, was closed. This bridge is allowed to be one of the moft magnificent pieces of masonry in the kingdom. It confifts of five femi-circular arches, of 70 feet fpan each, the foundations of the piers and abutments are 20 feet below the furface of the river at low water, the water in general being to feet deep, and fubject to exceffive land floods: under all disadvantages, the whole foundations were completed, and the piers above water, in about twelve months; and it is only three years fince the first ftone was laid. Falmouth, Aug. 7. Sir John Borlafe Warren's fquadron came in here this morning; they have been cruifing on the French coaft for feveral days; and though they have taken nothing, yet they have deftroyed eight of the enemy's veffels, having burnt two, and drove fix on the rocks. They even attempted to go into Breft water, and went fo far as to cut and deftroy the buoys. 10. This morning the eleven men with one arm, and eleven men with but one leg, were again brought by three Greenwich ftages, engaged for that purpose, to the new cricket ground, the back of the Montpelier tea-gardens, Walworth, when the match was played out, and the men with one leg beat the one arms by 103 runnings. After the the match was finished, the eleven onelegged men ran a fweep-ftakes of one hundred yards diftance for 20 guineas, and the three firft had prizes. 11. A court of alderinen was held at Guildhall-prefent the lord mayor, twelve aldermen, and about feventy commoners. A report from the committee for improving the navigation of the river Thames, was read, itating that the proprietors of the grand junction canal refufed to liquidate the city's claims on them, unless the toils to Brentford were allowed to be deducted.-the confideration was postponed. ་ Mr. alderman Clark, as chairman of the port committee, laid before the court a report, with plans for extending the accominodation to commerce in the port of London, by forming quays at St. Katherine, and the Bridge-yard, and embanking the frontage of the legal quays: which being read-the draught of a memorial to the lords of the treasury thereon were also read. Debates enfued for fome time, on an amendment propofed by aiderman Picket, that the fuggeftion made by the commiffioners of the customs to their lordships, relative to Tower wharf, fhould be included; which being negatived, the memorial was agreed to, and ordered to be prefented by the committee. 12. By an official letter from his majefty's fhip the inconftant, Leghorn Road, June 27, i appears that capt. Freemantle, the cominander, faved every Englith fap in the Mole, twenty-three in number, together with great part of the valuable effe As in the warehoufes, and about two hundred and forty oxen for the ufe of his majefty's fleet, in the courfe of two days and nights, from the hands of the French when they entered Leghorn. Being the anniverfary of the birth-day of his royal highnefs the prince of Wales, when he entered his 35th year, as kept as an holiday. In the evening there were illuminations displayed at the houses of his royal highness's tradefmen, and at the places of public amufement. 13. The mail from the Leeward Ilands brought the agreeable intelligence of our troops, &c. in that quarter being in general healthy. The few Ca ribs in St. Vincent who hold out, have occafioned much fatigue to our troops; bat they have been furrounded in fuch a manner, as to render their speedy subjugation or death certain. Admiral Chriflian, with his fquadron, and that under the command of admiral Harvey, continue at Martinique. The crews of the feveral veffels were tolerably healthy. At St. Lucia, from whence we have feen letters of the 6th of July, the remains of the brigands continued to keep the island in a ftate of alarm and confufion: they occafionally fally from the woods, to plunder and destroy the neighbouring plantations. The numerous faftneffes which the countryfurnishes to these marauders, and the extreme rigour of the climate, prefent great impediments to our troops in their endeavours to reprefs them. 17. A heavy cannonading was heard laft night; the Aftræa frigate failed in queft of a French privateer, which was feen to take a brig and a floop off St. Alban's Head. The telegraph was hoifted on the hill beyond Lulworth, as a fignal; but being unperceived by the frigates, a man and horfe were dispatched with the intelligence; it was reported this morning, that the privateer, with her prizes, is captured. 20. Very preffing orders have been fent to all the dock yards of the kingdom, for government work to be proceeded on with al poffible difpatch, and for every thin of war to be completed as faft as poffible. We have received a letter from St. Kitt's, dated the 8th of July, which Rates a French frigate of 44 guns, and corvette of 18 guns, to have been cruifing for fome days to the leeward of that fland. The Ariadne, British frigate," and Le Petro, armed veffel, had feen the enemy, but, unable to cope with fo fuperior a force, were fatisfied with a curfory obfervation, and reached St. Kitt's on the 8th. The fame day the Beaver likewife arrived there, with a number of transports, having 300 foldiers and rico prifoners on board, from St. Vincent, under convoy. The packet, unable to proceed to Tortola for want of fufficient efcort, was obliged to leave the mail for that ifland at St, Kitt's. The Ariadne failed for Antigua, from whence, in the event of her 7 ⚫ meet meeting with his majefly's fhip Veteran, they would proceed in queft of the enemy. Sir Alan Gardner's fquadron is gone to cruife off Ireland, for the protection - of our homeward-bound fleets from the - Weft Indies, which may be expected in the courfe of the next week. The prince of Wales has taken Critchill-houfe, the feat of Charles Sturt, efq. member for Bridport, at a rent of 1300l. per annum. His royal highnefs has alfo taken Dean Farm, contiguous to it, at 300l. a year. Critchill-houfe is beautifully fituated, about eight miles from Blandford, in the midft of a fine park; and the extenfive manors that furround it abound with patridges, pheasants, and every kind of game.
