Lewes, April 18, 1814.
The general joy which has pervaded this town, in consequence of the late glorious events, will be brilliantly expressed by a general illumination, on next Wednesday evening, when, it is expected, from the accommodating suspension which has taken place, that there will be a grand display of emblematical transparencies; and it is to be hoped, the female part of the inhabitants, will be allowed to gratify their feelings of curiosity on the occasion, without the fear and danger of being annoyed by squibs and rockets, or any other fire-works, a sufferance of which will betray a shameful want of gallantry somewhere.
The County Hall presents a fine front for a tasteful display of coloured lamps; but we have not heard that any thing of the kind is in contemplation.
Yesterday se'nnight, an American schooner, carrying 250 men and 20 guns, captured a galliot hoy, and two brigs, all laden, off Seaford, and conveyed them to a French port, where it has since been ascertained, they were received, but we apprehend, not for the benefit of the captors. The schooner's temerity appeared to have paralized two of our cruisers, which were riding at anchor in the bay, when the circumstance occurred.
A French lugger privateer, which had foundered off Seaford, with all her masts standing, and sails set, (it is supposed in the time of the late snow) was recently discovered under water, as described, by some Dover pilots, who exerted themselves to weigh her up but in vain. They however, recovered her main-yard, 46 feet long, and a part of a new French cable, which in some measure compensated them for the labour they had bestowed in their attempts to raise her.
Yesterday se'nnight two vessels arrived at Rye, from Rotterdam, laden with cheese, butter, and bacon. They were met by many of the inhabitants, who gave them three cheers, and the bells of the steeple welcomed their arrival.
On the same day two vessels sailed from Rye for Boulogne; one has since returned, and brings a pleasing account of rejoicing all along the French coast, where white flags and white cockades are in constant requisition.
A commodious and elegantly fitted-up packet is about to be established from Rye to Boulogne, Dunkirk, and Calais. It is expected it will be ready for the reception of passengers in about a week.
Thursday night, a native of this county arrived at Hastings, from Boulogne, where he had been imprisoned eleven years. He intimates that he was liberated, with many others, by the Cossacks, who opened the prison doors, and informed them, they might return home.
The exhilarating news of the capitulation of Paris, produced the most lively sensations of joy that can be conceived at Rye, where the ear was gratified nearly the whole of the day, with the merry-sounding peals of the church bells. The martello towers were loud on the occasion; but those of the battery were silent.
We hear, that one-day last week a French Boat laden with poultry, eggs, and walnuts, put into Seaford, where the inhabitants eagerly bought up the caro, at very low prices.
Mr.Lancaster, bailiff to Sir C.M.Burrell, bart. lately saved a fine fatting bullock, which had been hove or blown, from the food he had taken, by the administration of a very simple remedy; and as we conceive a minute account of the circumstance, as communicated by Mr.Lancaster, may prove beneficial to our numerous agricultural friends, we publish it for information :
"April 4, 1814 - Yesterday morning, on perceiving the state of the beast, I immediately bled him copiously, and used the flexible tube (by which treatment I had relieved several oxen, in a few minutes, which had been blown after eating clover, &c.) but, for nearly three hours, I could but just prevent the one in question from getting worse, owing to his stomach being so loaded with phelgm. that it stopped up the tube, before it entered his paunch, and prevented the wind from passing thro' it. I began now to be at a loss how to act, but knowing if I could stop the fermentation, all would be well; but as the disease was violent, to give him any thing that would not operate immediately, would have been useless, I therefore gave him the following gripe drench, which relieved him in a quarter of an hour :-
"1 oz. sweet Spirits of Nitre.
"1 oz. Salt of Tarter
"1 pint of Warm mild ale.
"In the evening I gave him another to prevent a relapse, and it had the desired effect.
"The bullock hove after eating corn, which was the only food besides hay that he had ate that morning; though he would have used his usual allowance of sliced potatoes in the course of the day, had he not been ill.
The receipt was originally given to Sir Chas.Burrell, by an experienced sportsmen, as a cure for the gripes in horses, and his confidence in its efficacy, induced him to order his Bailiff never to be without it, a precaution to which the worthy Baronet owes the present existence of two of his best oxen; and as its simplicity and cheapness place it within the reach of every one, it will, no doubt, be much resorted to in similar cases, and thereby be the means of saving other valuable animals before the fatting yards are cleared this Spring.
On Tuesday last, the friends of Mr.Scarlett, denominated the Roast Beef Club, celebrated the anniversary of their Institution, at the Crown Inn, in this town, when upwards of 200 persons sat down to dinner, Sir Henry Blackman, knt. in the Chair.- Mr.Scarlett, in an excellent speech, congratulated the company on the glorious change in public affairs, and the immediate prospect it presented of an honourable and lasting peace. Several constitutional toasts and songs were given in the course of the evening, and the company departed at a late hour highly gratified and entertained.
On Friday last John Haiselden, servant to Mr.Peckham, of Mayfield, was committed to our House of Correction, by the Uckfield Bench of Justices, charged with having wickedly administered oil of vitriol to his master's horses, and thereby impaired their healths. It is hoped the above will operate as a warning to servants in husbandry, and save them from the punishment that certainly awaits such acts of cruelty, too often practiced under the silly notion of improving the coat and condition of the suffering animal.
Last Saturday William Diplock, alias Hawl, was publicaly whipped, on the steps of the County Hall, in this town, agreeably to his sentence at the last Easter Sessions, for stealing two bank-notes, one of ten, and the other of two pounds, and divers articles of wearing apparel. After the punishment has been inflicted, he exclaimed aloud, that "Jesus Christ has been wrongfully crucified; and that he had been wrongfully scourged ! "
Extract of a Letter from Hastings, April 12, 1814 :-
"The inhabitants and visitants of this place, with a view to celebrate and commemorate the recent glorious successes of our Allies, and to do every honour to the Allied Sovereigns' triumphal entry into Paris, for the most fortunate event of the restoration of the Bourbons to the Throne of France, as well as to a brave nation, emancipated and liberated from the yoke of tyranny and oppression, by the complete subjugation and resignation of the dastardly tyrant Buonaparte, whose ambition led him to suppose he might have conquered the whole world, now humbled, and obliged to reside on a small territory, shut out from society, inflicted as a punishment by Divine Providence, to afford him more leisure to brood over his crimes and adverse fortune, that he may die a more painful and lingering death, and in vain for him to implore the sweet consolation,
"Can you minister to a mind diseased,
"Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
"Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
"And with some sweet oblivious antidote
"Cleanse the full bosom of that perilous stuff
"Which weighs upon the heart."
have had a Feu De Joie, by a grand display of fireworks, consisting of sky rockets, line rockets, Roman candles, wheels of different descriptions, &c. &c. The exhibition commenced on Monday evening, about eight o'clock (in the presence of a crowd of spectators) contiguous to the Marine Parade by a salute from a Maroon battery; and terminated by the conflagration and illuminations of twenty tar barrels, arranged and placed at well directed distances, on the beach and sands, surrounded by groupes of boys, producing a very pleasing effect; and the fascinating appearance of the Ladies, seen from windows of their apartments, one of whom was heard to play God save the King, and Rule Britannia, with exquisite taste, judgement and execution, with huzzas, and enthusiastic acclamations from a happy, loyal, and patriotic people, added gaiety, and life to the scene."

Brighton, April 18, 1814.
Last Monday evening, a general illumination took place throughout the town, in consequence of hand-bills which had been previously distributed for that purpose, and the whole produced a pretty and pleasing effect. The windows of Mr.Langridge, exhibited a novelty, a curious collection of choice birds, with appropriate mottos, dropping from their beaks, and a variety of beautiful ornaments. In the course of the evening, an effigy of Bonaparte was taken to the Level and there hung and burnt.
The late splendid events gave rise to a grand Ball at the Castle, on Thursday night.
To the great joy of the epicure, nine fine mackerel, the first taken this season, were offered for sale, on our beach, on Wednesday morning, which has put all the men concerned in that fishery quite upon the alert.
One day last week a great quantity of persons were attracted to the beach, by the appearance of a large boat, under a crowd of sail, with two flags at the top gaff, viz. English and a French colours, which it was supposed had on board persons who had been imprisoned in France, or a messenger; but she turned out to be nothing more than a large French boat, that had been fishing on her own coast.
His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, on Tuesday last congratulated the populace of Arundel, on the recent change of affairs, by an order for the distribution of ten hogsheads of strong beer amongst them.
The remains of the Duchess of Leinster, sister to the late Duke of Richmond, after lying in state at Midhurst, were removed to Chichester, and interred in the family vault of the cathedral church of that city. Her Grace's age was 83.
Last Tuesday being Easter Tuesday, Mr.R.Akerson, was chosen High Constable for the year ensuing. An excellent dinner was provided on the occasion at the Castle Tavern.
Our town's people are anxiously waiting to see a Packet in the Roads from the coast of France.
On the news of the surrender of Paris arriving at Chichester, the whole garrison, consisting of the Scotch Greys, the 29th, 35th, 41st, and 58th Regiments, marched to the city, to the tune of The Downfall of Paris, and fired a feu-de-joie on the occasion.
Last Monday the Patriotic Club, and the Society of Choice Spirits, at Chichester, dined together, the former at the Anchor, and the latter at the Dolphin, to celebrate the dethronement and abdication of Bonaparte. At eight in the evening they adjourned to the Council Chamber, when W.Newland, esq. was called to the Chair, who addressed the meeting, consisting of about 400 persons, in a very animated speech on the occasion; as did Mr.Huskinson, one of the city Members; General Crosby, and Major Henken, of the Scotch Greys, after which toast, sentiment and song prevailed, with the utmost hilarity and good humour, till a late hour.
On the same evening, a great number of the inhabitants, assembled at the Council Chamber, under the presidency of the Mayor, to celebrate the glorious event.
The Brighton Dollar Society, we are glad to find, goes on prosperously. Its object is to relieve the really distressed with money, food, or fuel, as circumstances may require; and under the direction of the amiable Ladies who at present conduct it, it will no doubt, become a very popular charity.
On Monday a person was committed by our Magistrates to the House of Correction at Lewes, charged with stealing a quantity of Archangel down, the property of Mr.Mott, of the New Steyne Hotel, in manner as mentioned in this Paper, a few months ago.
A few days since a young man at Chichester, assistant to the surgeon there, swallowed a quantity of arsenic; but fortunately it was counteracted in time to prevent its deadly operations.
Last Monday as the Portsmouth O.P. coach was turning a corner of one of the streets of that town, the horses scampered upon the pavement, and slipped up, but fortunately without overturning the coach, or materially injuring any of the passengers.

On the same day, an inquest was held on view of the body of Nathaniel Gunn, who was on Friday brought home dead in a mackarel boat, in which he had been fishing with two other men and a boy, and in which state he was found, some little time after he had lain himself down in the coy, by James Emery, one of the crew.
