Wednesday, about twelve o'clock, his Majesty arrived at the Queen's 'Palace, from Windsor, where be was received by the Dukes of York, Cumberland, Sussex, and Cambridge. At two o'clock his Majesty held a private Levee. The following had the honour of being presented to his :Majesty :--- Ceneral Sir David Dundas, upon his being appointed Com mander in Chief; the Earl of Orford, upon succeeding to hi, title; Major Leith, upon his promotion. and upon hi; return from Spain; Capt. Blake, upon his promotion; Lieut.-Colonel Scott, of the 9Cth regiment, upon his promotion; Alajor N ()mot, of the 85th rifle regiment, -upon his promotion, and return from Spain; the Archhi,lipp of Dublin, upon his arrival in England. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which Sir David Plinths was introduced, and sworn in a Member, and took his seat at the Honourable Board accordingly. ' His Majesty gave private audiences to the Cabinet Minis ters present, and .Sir David Dundas, the Commander in Chief. About six o'clock set off, on his return to Windsor. We understand that Sir D. Dundas is not to hold the same appointment as that of the Duke of York. Ile is only to be Commander in Chief, but. not Captain-Genera! of the King's Land Forces. - Both Houses of Parliament are expected to adjourn on Wednesday next, till Thursday sennight, on account of the Easter Holidays. We have given in another part detailed accounts under their respective dates, of the causes and progress of the late disturbances at Cadiz. They will he found to corres pond with the principal communications we have already Made. They are, we understand, transmitted by a per ion of great respectability, who was a witness of the tran sactions he describes. We believe the report of an insurrection in Sweden originated in a circumstance sufficiently serious in its con sequences, but nut so fatal to the repose of the realm as has been apprehended. It seems that two regiments (of Militia as they are called, but we understand the whole Swedish army is of that description) not having been able to obtain their pay, expressed their resentment in a mutinous man lier; and subordination, by the utmost exertions of the officers, could not be restored, until their demands were . fully satisfied. Their arrears being discharged, it was hoped they would return to obedience. The Dutch Papers, as well as the Private Letters, coin cide in stating the capture of his Majesty's frigate Proser pine. She was taken in the Mediterranean by the French frigates La Penelope and La Paulincare. From the French official accounts, it appears, that she sustained :an engage ment of three quarters of an hour against so superior a force, in which she had eleven men killed ; and the French frigates came oft without the loss of a single man killed or 'wounded. French modesty A letter has been received from an Officer on board the Lively, •!aled March 7, then off Mamia, a small place on the TC.•;:t:,roast of Spain, where they were employed in nifordia -g assistance to the Spanish Patriots. This is con clusive of the safety of the Lively. The Treaty between Great Britain and Spain, we under stand, was sig ned Widnesday ; but some articles, not yet precisely adjusted, are left for future arrangement. It is stated, that ‘`.o and some other harbours of Gal liria are now open to English ships. The communication with th Ports of Asturias has not bef7ai obstructed by the enemy, since his appearance on the Northern shores of the Douro. P. Don Joze Herida who was lately massacred at Cadiz, was a cousin of the Prince of the Peace, and was by him promoted to the office of Collector of Public. rents and Cus toms. He was a man held in general detestat;on; and until he was raised by his cousin to a trust both lucrative and respectable, was only known as a smuggler. Tuesday the Lord ;Mayor ordered the price of bread to 'be reduced half an assize, or Id. in Ihe peck loaf, to take pi jec . 'ti ' s day. The quartern loaf of wheaten, is thou to be sold for Is. 21d. and household Is. 10. MARCH 26. lit the House of Commons on Friday, the Serjeant at Arrnsreported, that Brig.-Gen. CLAVER !NG was in his custo dy, and on the Motion of Mr. WYNN it was ordered, with out any debate, " that General Ct.avEnien be committed !o Nesvgate," The House has thus shewn the purest im partiality by extending to two men, offending in the same degree, and different only in rank, the same measure of punishment. This proceeding cannot but excite the highest sentiments of approbation. It is a fact no less singular than true, that as his Royal Highness the ,)like of York was coining up on Friday, in his chaise and four, from Windsor to town, one of the leaders fell, and was drigged by the other horses for a con s:derable distance. The carriage was soon stopped, and :10 accident of a serious nature ensued. .But it took place almost exactly opposite to Mrs. Clarke's house, in the King's-road, Westbourn-place, The receipts of the Drury-lane company, in three at the Opera House, amounted to tit( s,im of 2,:00t. Since the memorable year 1659. after the deposition of Richard Cromwell, when a Council of (ieneral Officers, which met at Wallingford House, arrogated to themselves a right to interfere with, and to over-rule the civil power of the State, no attempt of that nature has been made, at once so indecorous, and so. unconstitutional, as the late Address intended to have been presented to the Commaader in, Chief, by a club of General Officers met fur that pur., pose. REMARK ABLE FUNERAL.—On Sunday last was interred in the burial ground of St. Martin- in-the-Fields, the re-, mains of Hugh Hewson, who died at the advanced a:se of 85. The deceased was a man of no mean celebrity, though no funeral escutcheons adorned his hearse, or heir expeet• ant graced his obsequies, He was no less a personage than the identical Hugh Strap, whom Dr, Smollet has rendered so conspicuously interesting in his Life and Adventures of Roderick Random, and for upwards of forty years hat 4 kept a hair-dresser's shop in the above parish. The de ceased was a very intelligent man, and took delight iu recounting the adventures of his early life. He spoke with pleasure of the time he passed in the service of the Doctor, and it was his pride, as well as boast, to say that he had been educated in the same seminary with so learned and distinguished a character. His shop was hung round with Latin quotations, and he would frequently point out to hia customers and acquaintances the several scenes in Roderick Random, pertaining to himself, which had their foundation, not in the Doctor's inventive fancy, but in truth and reality. The meeting in a barber's shop at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the subsequent mistake at the inn, their arrival together in London, and the assistance they experienced from Strap's friend, were all of that description. We understand the deceased has left behind him an interlined copy of Rode rick Random, pointing ocit these facts, shelving how far they were indebted to the genius of the Doctor, and to what extent they were bottomed in reality. The deceased could never succeed in gaining more than a respectable subsist ence by his trade, but he possessed an independence of mind superior to his humble condition. Of late years he was emi:loyed as Keeper of the Promenade in Vitliers Walk, Adelphi, and was much noticed and respected by the inha bitants who frequented that place. The difficulty of pronunciation, considering the provin cialisms and perversions attached to our mother-tongue, is incontestible : but this difficulty may be ameliorated, per haps removed, by vig ilantly perusing the columns of ' A General Pronouncing Dictionary of the Engaish Language,' &c. By William • Enfield, M.A. Among the approvers of this meritorious compilation, besides various Critical Jour nals, are to be found the saffrages of Dr. Burney and the Rev. John Evans. It may gratify the Whip-Club to hear, that Francis later, a noted farrier, has rrcently published 46 Every Man his own Farrier," or, " The Whole Art 'aid Orn. 3 ' I'll's work, we are assured, has already preserved the lives of nearly half a million of valuable animals.
