The Queen considers it incumbent upon her to send a copy of the Princess of Wales's • letter to the Prince Regent and her Mnjesty could have felt no hesitation in communicat- ing to the Illustrious Strangers who may pos- sfÍlIv he present at her Court, the circum- stances which will prevent the Princesof Wales from appearing there, if her Royal Highness had not rendered a compliance with her wish to tins, effect unnecessary, by intimating her intentioiv of making public the cause of her absence.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ISLE OF ELBA. (From the Gazette de France.) The iele of Elha, which had long been but little known, and has seldom been the subject of conversation, has excited an extraordinary degree of interest and attention since we have learnt that it was destined to receive Bona. parte, stript of his power. The isle of Elba is situated in the Mediter- ranean, on the coast of Tuscany, four leagues Irolll the Italian shore, 13 leagues from the equilateral triangle, ;ttid- is 26 leagues in cir- cumference. In 1788 it contained 8000 in habitants; at present its population amounts to Ti ,380. This island produces all kinds of metals; even mines of gold and silver, but the working of these has been abandoned. iii flit, of Porto Ferrago, copper is found I lie most abundant iron mine ism the territory of* ill,), on the eastern side; its veins of ore are ex- ceedingly deep and extend about a mile into the sules of a mountain. As the isie is defici- ent in wood, they are obliged to export their ore to the coast ol Genoa and Corsica, to he smelted and worked. There are also quarries ot marble, granite, amarantluis, while and black calaminary stone. Some of the cantons produce a sufficiency of corn for the subsistence of the inhabitants; in ol. fieri it is inadequate to the consumption but they abound in wine, which is", ir the first quality, and is exported to Rome and other places. The woods are low, and comprehend little more than small shrubs, such as box, rosemary, and pruzzoii. The fig Ireerows to the height of 18 or 20 feet in the most arid soil, and even in the (is sures of the i-ot ks it is always green, and the insects which produces cochineal feeds on its leaves. There is not a river in the island, but many springs, which never dry up even in the summer several of them possess mineral qualities. The coasts abound in lish, and the fisheries furnish an important article of com- merce, more especially the thunny fishery, I which is cli-ie y carried on in the Gulph of Prochio. The inhabitants are naturally gentle and hospitable; they are fond of their native soil, and manners, I he ti tigal life that they lead renders their 110. dies sound and robust. They are of middle stature, well made, of brown complexion, black wil hair, lively and peHetraliug eyes. They are fond of held sports; ate good seamen, and lake pleasure in severe exercises. They do nor make use of the slilletfo, hut they a-re in general superstitious and ignorant. The wo- men wear a hit of black siraw, a white corset, and a short red or blue petticoat. They someiimes add to this dress a flower, ribbands, ¡ ear-rings, or a gold chain. The people oj I J/lba are co'jra and always ready to de- fend their Country hut they are little addict, io noisy pleasures, and even their dancing has I hut lit lie gaiety or vivacity in it Their lan- is a corruption of the Tuscan. Their habitations are in general low, but neat.— rhey know nothing of manufac'ures. Com- merce, principally the wine trade, and the ex- port of minerals, that is the principal source of their wealth. The island of Elba ccus'ains two towns.— Porto Ferrago and Porto Longone several large villages and hamlets. Porto Ferrago, which is the most remarkable place, is distin- guished by its buildings, >ls fortifications, and its port, which can receive the largest ships, its population consists of about 300 inhabi- tants, Porto Longone has but about 1500 he port of this town is good, and its fortress, situated 011 a rock, is almost inaccessible- H 10 chief town of one of the districts, has 1800 m- habitants— I Is vicinity is not much cull ivaied, because the inhabitants are principally tucu- pied in worksng the iron mines. These mmes give very profitable returns, inasmuch as they iurnish from 75 to 801h. to every 1001b. ore. of excellent iron, equal to that of Sweden or Swerla. It 1534 the town of Rio was sacked by the Turkish corsair Barbarossa (Red-beat d) j who reduced all the inhabitants to silvery.- The island was then a dependency of the Lords of Piombino, who ceded Porto Ferrago to Cosmo, of Medici, Duke of Florence, to he fortified and defended by him. This town had remained for a considerable time annexed to Tuscany and the English, who held it in the name of the Duke, main- tained an obstinate siege against the French, which did not terminate till 1812; although on the 2Sth of March 1801, his Majesty the King of Naples, who enjoyed the sovereignty of the island, had ceded it to France.

This Act to continue in forcefivc years, and from thence until the end of the next Session of Parliament. To this Act is annexed the schedule to which it refers, and which we have already given. it is entitled," A Schedule of the Dtnies on the Articles hereinafter men- tioned, when imported from any foreign country except the province of Quebec, or the oilier British Colonies or Plantations ill iVorlh America." They are as follow Wheat, if at or under 63 shiiiir.gs per quarter price, to pay a dut-y of 24 shillings — Irom 63 lo 64, to pay a doty of 24s —from 64 to 65, a duty of 23s. —from 65 to 66, a duty ot 22" -and so up to 80s. and upwards, at which th" dot is reduced 10. 1 shilling. So that as the price advances to 86s. the duty decreases, and thus the aggregate of price aud duty always remain the same, viz. 87s. per quarter. | The Schedule for rye, be ing, and pease, pro I ceeds on the same piisu | if at or under 42s. per quarter price, they pay 22s. duty from 42s.

The King of the Two Sicilies has published I a Proclamation, protesiing, in the .strongest manner, against the occupation of the Throne of Naples by Muraf. He would have done better to have shewn the same energy in 1305. A curious improvement has been introduced at our fashionable routs. Besides a supper at midnight, the guests are regaled with a do- j'une (we know not how to iranslaie it into break-fasl) before their departure.

Shipwreck prevented by a Fish.A small vessel, named the Advice, coal laden, sailed from Sunderland, for Chatham, on Tuesday se'nuight, and being obliged to make the Hnm- ber, arrived at Hull on Friday. She had, on her passage, sprung a leak of so alarming a nature, that the master and crew were on the point of faking to their boat, and abandoning the sinking vessel. On examination however, they found to their great joy and surprise, that the pump had gained upon the water in the hoid.andhy persevering in theirexeitions the vessel was brought lo Hull. Being taken I into Mr. Gleadow's dry dock for repair, it was discovered that a fine fish hnd made its way so completely into the crevice, as to stop the progress of the leak and when found in that situation was so closely wedged, that it was necessary frt cut away several inches of the wood before it could he taken away. The' length of the fish formed a seam of about six inches. Wednesday, an act of desperate passion, or •of diabolical revenge, took place in Bath, It appears that frequent altercations took place her ween the parties, Mrs. Mary Adlam, who possesses a large shop and respedahle hosi ness. in the straw bonnet manufacture, and her husband, Henry Adiam who was addicted to and often went home intoxi- caled. Ou Wednesday afternoon, during tea- time, he being m his usual drunken slate, a violent quarrel occurred when she taking up a large knife, stabbed'him deeply in the arm, near the shoulder. Surgical assistance was immediately called in but the man survived only till Thursday evening. The wife was taken into custody and She Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of if i.lfnl Murder, or Petty I i'reastm, against Mars Adiaui, founding their decision opon Adlam, having { ailed her, upon ¡ quilting the room, a most approbrious name — she followed him into the shop adjoining, 1. daring him to call her w again which he repeating, she made the fatal blow, winch terminated in his death.

Parisian Fashions. — Without being in "11 posltlOlI to the fash inn, eitherveq high or veiy low crowned bats may he worn. The latter, indeed, are not so numerous as the others. Flowers are worn as usuai in hunches atid almost always in a drooping form.

Embroidery is still worn, hut is not so common as last year. The trimming allhelwllolll of robes consists chief- ly of Vandyke flounces of clear muslin, em- broidered open work is also inserted between the flounces, but most frequently the intervals beiween the flounces are filled with plain mus- lin. Flounces are so common thai even the robes of printed cambric are trimmed in the same manner and 1 lie head of the flounces finished with fuli; Iu 1721, being t!ie '7tli year of the rei^n of George I a picture was pa:nted on canvass, by Mr. Roderick Chalmers, herald painier, tHe feel wide, and three feet high, and placed above the chimney-piece of that elegant hall, St. Mary's Chapel, Niddry's Wynd, of Edin burgh, belonging to the incorporated Trades of that name, consisting of wrights, painters, coopers, slaters, upholsterers, sievemakers, masons, glaziers, plumbers, and bowers. A sinking portrait of a freeman of each of the above arts is introduced (fulllenglh) as work. ing in the operative dress of hili profession, exhibited in the great square west front of the Palace of Holyrood-bouse, with an elegant c perspective elevation of that noble and prince- ly building behind them. This picture was removed from the chape! nearly 30 years ago, when the venerable hail was pulled down, to make way for the erection of theSoulh Bridge and Street. The picture was missing fors-owe years, when information was lately given that the Right Hon. the Earl of had, about ten years ago, purchased it at 7/ 7s. iu an auction in Prince's street. His Lordship was written to on Ihe subject, in the name of Hie Incorporations. He acknowledged having the pidllre, and his wish to restore it to the Trades, if they had a hall in which they could place it to advantage. Tliis they now have. The price his Lordship paid for it he gene- rously dispensed with, but gave it as a dona- tion to the poor of the Incorporations. On the 13th current, the said Incorporations held their Whit-Sundav Quarter Meeting, in e" Freemasons' Ball, Niddry-street, when the cor- respondence wiih tile Earl of Buchan was laid before them, and-the picture exhibited in the centre of the Hall, to the notice of the whole Members. A motion was made and unani- mously agreed to, that his Lordship the Earl of Buchan be admitted an Honorary Member I of that ancient aud respectable body of crafis. men. A suit was, in February last, prosecuted ilt the ecclesiastical court of Prague,in Bohemia, against Johannes Felizern, a wealthy mer- chant,for a breach of the canons of the church.
