St. Paul's. The children, above aooo in number, affembled in the most orderly manner. The neat fimplicity of their drefs fhowed the care that is taken of them; and the cheerfulness of their looks evinced their gratitude to their benefactors, while their exemplary conduct in the cathedral proved that they had been properly impreffed with juft fentiments of devotion. The church was very happily formed for effect, upon the occafion. The place was under the dome. There was a temporary building, following the shape of the church there, in each angie of the octagon, and rifing, in 17 or 18 benches, about 24 feet from the ground. From thence, on one fide, towards the organ of the choir, was a temporary defk, &c. and about 100 benches, for the congregation, role from thence (alfo about 24 feet) through the body of the church, to the west door. The sheriffs, under fheriffs, and fecondaries, met upon the huftings, at Guildhall, for the purpose of catting up the numbers of the poll, and making the return. Upon examination, fome little variation was found from the numbers reported yesterday, viz.. For Mr. ald. Lushington 4369 The lord mayor 4313 the fame Mr. ald. Combe 3863 Mr. ald. Anderson 3170 the fame Mr. ald Pickett 2795 the lame Sir Watkin Lewes 2355 The four firit were accordingly returned, and their friends figned the heriffs' return. They then feverally addreffed the livery, except Mr. alderman Anderfon and fir Watkin Lewes. Sir Richard Carr Glynn addreffed them in favour of Mr. aiderman Anderfon, who is contined through diaefs. After which, the lord mayor, in his private coach and fix hories, preceded by colours flying, a band of music, his committee, and friends, proceeded to the Mansion Houfe, where an elegant entertainment was provided on the occafion. Mr. alderman Combe in his chariot, accompanied by Mr. Skinner (Mr. Skinner's coach following and preceded by his friends, committee, with favours, &c. paraded from Guildhall to the Exchange, and from thence back to his brother's houfe in the Old Jewry, and were afterwards entertained with an elegant dinner by the alderman. On their way thither, they were both much applauded The ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and the mob their hats. Then came the united committees of Lufhington and Anderson; and then Alderman Lufhington. Alderman Pikett, though laft, not lealt in popularity, clofed the feene; cheered by the confolatory plaudits of the furrounding multitude. The judges appointed the feveral circuits for the enfuing aflizes. Home circuit. Lord Kenyon and fir B Hotham. Norfolk. Lord chief justice Eyre, and Mr. justice Afhhurst. Oxford.

Being the anniversary of his majefty's birth day, the morning was ushered in with ringing of bells, and at noon the Park and Tower guns were fired, and the evening concluded with illuminations and other demonstrations of joy by the inhabitants of London and Weltminfer.. His majefty having been pleased to appoint William Campbell, efq. to be governor and commander in chief of his majesty's Bermuda or Somers' Islands, in America, he this day took the oaths appointed to be taken by the governois of his majesty's plantations. Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's coffee houfe, that a French fquadron failed from Palma, on the 30th of March, confilling of the following hips: La Force, 50 guns, commanded by M. Perey, and La Soine, 40. Another fquadron left Rochfort on the 19th of March laft, confifting of La Regenerée, 30 guns, and L Vertue, 40; they had taken the Bethia and Maria, Rayner, from Portiniouth to Barbadoes, with troops, flores, &c. 5. This morning an account was received at the admiralty, by a gentle. man from Cadiz, containing advice that that admiral Mann, having taken on board four months' provifions and water at Gibraltar, had refumed his ftation before the Spanish port. Admiral Richery, with his fquadron, was ready to put to fea; and a Spanish fquadron was likewife ready to fail at the fame time. Admiral Mann, apprifed of this circumftance, has fent a mellage to the Spanish admiral, that it was his intention, at all events, to attack the French Bips, the moment they should get clear of the neutral port; and that if they were at all affilled by the Spaniards, they must answer for the confequences. The Spanish admiral is faid to have dif elaimed all intention of fuccouring the French, in cafe of an attack from the British fquadron; and, in poof of his fincerity, affured admiral Mann, it was not his defign to fail for thirty hours after the French had put to sea. Richery, it is faid, perfifted in his intention of failing; fo that interesting accounts may speedily be expected from that quarter. This day, about four o'clock in the afternoon, several villains entered the house (the family being out) of Mr. Hood, Earl-ftreet, Blackfriars, with a falle key, and, after being there fome time, were feen by the oppofi.e neigh. bours, who, forcing their way into the houfe, fecured two of them; the others, in the alarm, contrived means to efcape backwards. They had packed up all the plate and other valuables; but it does not appear that they had been able to convey any thing off. What exhibits the daring atrocity of this attempt in the moft confpicuous point of view, is the publicity of the fituation, only two doors from Bridge-ftreet, the greatest thoroughfare on Sunday afternoon, perhaps, of any in the metropolis. 6. Was announced at the Eaft India House the arrival at Falmouth of the hip Chichefter, capt. Blake, laden with rice, from Bengal, which place She left on the ift of January laft; arrived at Madras on the 13th; failed from thence on the 16th, and failed from St. Helena on the 3d of April. Neauport, Isle of Wight, June 8. This day the 12th regiment marched from this town for Cowes, there to be embarked for the Eaft-Indies, under the command of colonel Harvey Afton. This regiment has been quartered here now above two months, during which time the conduct of both officers and men has been fo becoming and regular, as to reflect the highest credit on them. felves, and to cause their departure to be much regretted. 9. A frigate is to be got in readiness to convey count Zepphelin to Germany, to bring over to England the prince de Wirtemberg, preparatory to his alliance with our amiable princess Royal. The Cork fleet, under convoy of the Laura frigate, the greatest part of which was fupposed to be taken, is al most all arrived at Brbadoes. ro. The royal family, accompanied by the marchioness of Bath, lady Cardigan, and lady Charlotte Bellaffis, went to Afcot Heath races, and, in the evening, honoured the theatre, for the fir time this feafon, with their prefence; their majefties, on account of Mr. Quick not coming down on Tuesday, having poftponed going that evening. 11 The marriage of the princefs royal and the prince of Wirtemberg is expected to take place about the latter end of July. 13. The candidates for Weflminfter, by agreement, began the poll an hour earlier than usual, in order that it might finally terminate at three o'clock, at which time the numbers were declared as follows: The hon. Cha. J. Fox J. H. Tooke 5160 48.4 2819 The high bailiff then returned the right hon. Charles James Fox and vice admiral fir Alan Gardner duty elected. Harwich, June 15. A letter was received here this morning, giving the difagreeable account of the capture of his majefly's packet, the princess of Orange, capt. Anthony Deane, on her paffage to Cruxhaven, by the Republican French frigate and a brig cutter. The captain and crew were landed at Fluthing, and, as prifoners of war, are kindly treated. No particulars are mentioned as to what became of the mail; it is fuppofed it was funk before the packet ftruck. She was taken last Sunday fennight, twelve hours after the had failed from Yarmouth. 17. Arrived She failed from St. Lucie on the 1ft of May, leaving his majesty's fhips Tremendous, Arethufa, Hebe, and Ganges, with feveral other vellels of war, tranfports, &c. the British troops having poffeffed themfelves of the whole island, except Morne Fortune, which they were preparing to attack, although the enemy had made a defperate refiftance, and the lofs on both sides very confider able. On the 4th of May, Guadaloupe bearing S. by E. about four leagues, three frigates, flanding from the shore, gave chafe to the packet, one of which purfued her till the evening, before the gave up. 18. An elegant new iron gate is now putting up at the entrance from St. James's Park to Spring-Gardens, in the room of the old decayed wooden gates lately pulled down: it is confructed in fuch a manner as to prevent a crowd: the bars admitting only one perfon though each at a time, though four people may pass a-breaft through the four feparate divifions. Letters from St. John's, Antigua, ftate that they had received advice that the whole of the island of Grenada was in the poffeffion of the English, who were preparing, with the troops which failed with admiral Chriftian, to make a defcent on Guadaloupe, which, from the force fent againft the French at this place, it was imagined, would be an eafy conqueft. The chain of telegraphs, about to be erected between the admiralty and Portsmouth, is to be completed immediately. BIRTHS. May. 12. The lady of Alexander Allardyce, of Dunotter, efq. M.
