Monthly Chronicle.

A few days ago died , of the gout in his stomach , at Baldwins , in Kent , the Rig ht Hon . A LEXANDER Lord SALTOUN , in the 3 6 th j-ear of ills age . His Lordship ' s indisposition lasted but for a few days , which renders the loss of so valuable a character the more severe and afflicting to his family and friends . The King of Poland , by every act of his life , has proved himself to be a great man ; and sacrificing every consideration to the welfare of his unhappy country , lias exhibited the true portrait of a Patriotic King . The new Government of Polandestablished under the auspices of Russia and

, Prussia will be more aristocratic than the ancient . Fifteen thousand Prussian troops , it is reported , are on their march from Silesia to join the army of that power , already in Poland , in consequence of some offensive measures having keen attempted to be carried in the Diet . The Algerines are fitting out a squadron of frigates to act against France;—those barbarians , while the French rode triumphant in the Mediterranean , were the most zealous supporters of the new Republic , and would most probably be so again should it ' s affairs wear a more favourable aspect : it would do honour

to Europe , if the combined fleets of Britain , Spain , & c . which will we trust shortly be unemployed in the Mediterranean , were to crush the maritime power of these desperate marauders , and release numberless Europeans whom they hold in bondage . From the last accounts that have been received , it appears that above eleven hundred persons have suffered by Ihe Guillotine , in different parts of France , within the last three months . LeclerkAumont , Henry , Maubert , Merime , Bothiis , Eudeline , De Lalande ,

, and Brieux , a woman , were found guilty by the revolutionary Tribunal , of having been principals in a sedition at Rouen , in January last , and sentence of death was passed upon them . They were executed on the 6 th , at noon . Four-, teen other persons , tried for the same offence , were acquitted . On the 7 th , Jacbues Touduti-la-Blanmordierre , 43 years of age , formerly Lieutenant in Monsieur's regiment of foot , was condemned to death by the Revolutionary Tribunal . He heard ihe sentence pronounced , and submitted to the execution of it , with what the Parisians call , The Purity of Royalist Fanaticism .

The late General Custine was about lo be acquitted by ( he Revolutionary Tribunal ; but Robespierre sent some of his emissaries to that Tribunal , to tell them , that if Custine was not executed on the following day , the heads of the Juryshould be carried about on pikes . —This had the desired effect . After the executioner had struck off his head , which was bald , he took it by the ear , and shewed it to the people , who set up an immoderate shout of laughter J—Such is French justice and French sensibility ! General Custine was born in 1740 , in a village near Saarburg , in Lorraine . He was descended from a mpst ancient family , said to be related to the illustrious house of Lot-mine .

Norwich . The following extraordinary phcenomenon occurred in the parish of Felmingham , in this county , a few days ago , in a field belonging to a Mr . Moore : The earth , in circumference about twenty yards , suddenly sunk in depth upwards of five feet ; the cavity is nearly circular , and the earth round it for » wo yards much cracked ; on the Saturday following another chasm was discovered in the field of a Mr . Haiti , nine feet deep , of about 20 yards in circumference , and perfectly circular ; the surface of the part sunk is perfectly whole and even , from which it is evident the settlement was sudden ; it is supposed

tliey hplh happened at the same time , although the latter was not discovered until tv / p days after . Sbiplon Mallet . The warehouses and out-buildings belonging to Messrs . Jenkins and Green , clothiers , were lately destroyed by fire ; there is much reason to believ . e it to have been wilfully done , as the work people had threatened to destroy the premises , some machines having been introduced into the manufac * tory to facilitate the work-posts ; the Monmouthshire jnoilJtU were vsrj actiTC and serviceable in extinguishing the flumes .
