This Encyclopaedia has experienced in Scotland an extent of Circulation unexampled peihaps in the History of similar Works, the Parts published having already run through three Editions. Two whole volumes, the joint. Production of near a hundred ditierent Authors, are now offered to the Public, as Specimens of the Mode in which the rest will be conducted. While every Article, even tbe most unimport- ant, has been written anew from the best Materials, and the most recent and unexplored Sources of Information, many fiew Articles in Biography and Science, to be found in no other Work, have been substituted for the Lives of obscure Individuals, whose Biography, equally devoid of Instruction and Entertainment, nothing but the Partialities of Friend. * hip could have dragged from Oblivion ; and for the Geogra- phy of insignificant Mountains, Rivets, aud Villages, which scarcely arrest the Eye of the Traveller. While tbe Pro- prietors hate thus endeavoured to make their Work a general Repository of human Knowledge, they have aimed at the higher Object of enriching it with new Inventions and Disco- veries. Many oliginal Views in Science ami the Arts, the Results of new and laborious Experiments, and some Disco- veries of no small Importance, distinguish the Volumes that aie already published ; and the high Reputation of many of the Contributors is a pledge, that the subsequent Volumes will be characterized by the same Originality. CONDITIONS. 1. This Work will not, it is expected, exceed Twelve Volumes Quarto, and will be handsomely printed with a new Type, and with the best London Ink.

SMITH'S PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are a certain Remedy for Scurvy, King's Evil, and Venereal. To Dr. SMITH, Upton Magna Hall. Dear Doctor Smith— We cannot help taking this Oppor- tunity of writing to you, to inform von of a most capital Cure performed by your valuable Medicine, THE PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS; and send you this merely that others who are afflicted may find Relief. In March, 1809, my Wife was de- livered of a fine Girl, who continued so about a Fortnight; after that Period she began to break out in large Blotches all over her, about the size of common Nuts, and then turned into Ulcers; we applied to the best and most experienced Medical Men in this Neighbourhood, who stiled the Com- plaint Scorbutic, or the King's Evil. After twelve Months' Trial, but in vain, the Girl still getting worse, we were re- commended to try your Ploughman's Drops; we bought a small Bottle at Mr. Capsey's, of Wellington, nnd, to our great Surprize and Joy, In a Week we found such Alteration in the Girl for the best, that we kept intircly to your Drops; and now ( blessed be God aud you) she is as well as any Child in the Country, and we have to say that we have half the Bottle left. Dear Sir, you are at Liberty to make Use of this as you think proper. Though unknown, we remain, dear Sir, your most obedient humble Servants, JOHN RF. VET, SARAH REVET.

LONDON. FROM THE LOWDON GAZETTE. ADMIRALTY OFflCF, OCTOBER 23. Sir J. Saumarez has transmitted letters from Captain Cum- berland, of the Saturn, reporting the capture of a Danish cut- ter privateer, of one gun and four swivels, by the b ( ats of the above ship, under the direction of Lieutenant Drevvitf, off Ebeltoft, in Jutland, in the presence of six other vessels of the same description; from Captain Ryves, of the Africa, stating the destruction of a Danish privateer, on Falsterbn Reef, by a boat under the command of Lieutenant Finnisriere; and from Captain Mainwaring, of the Tartarus sloop, giving an account of his having sunk two French privateers off Pillau. [ This Gazelle also contains an account of the capture of L' 11 i rondel le French privateer, of four guns ; the EikiuarJ ditto, of 14 guns; and the Somnambu'e ditto, of 18 guns Likewise au official notice of the appointment of General Beresford tu be a Knight of the Bath.] WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24. Paris papers arrived this morning. It appears from a proclamation issued by King Murat 011 the 26th ult. that the farce of the invasion of Sicily, has, after all the expense and parade with which ' it was got up, been withdrawn for the present season. He had no doubt good cause to conclude, that the piece would not at all take with an assembly of British soldiers anil seamen. The following statement of the actual amount of the force of the French and allied armies iu Portugal, has appeared in the Ministerial Journals. Massena is said lo have had actually under arms, at the battle of Busi- co, 70,000 men; and to have been joined immediately after by a reinforcement of 15,000. The total of the British troops in Portugal is stated at 34,000. The Portuguese regular troops amount to 85,000 ; but of Ihcse only 25,000 are with oui army, the rest being iu gariisou at Abrantes, Santarem, Peniche, Lisbon, St. Julian's, and other forts in the vicinity. Upon these data the effective force serving in the British lines may be estimated at between 55,000 and 60,000 men, ex- clusive of the reinforcement brought by the Marquis Romana, which is understood to be about 10,000. Tho' according to this statement the enemy had a su- periority of from 15,000 to 20,000 men, it is conceived that this advantage is more than balanced by the strength of our positions, which consist of a rauge of heights, defended by 300 pieces of artillery, and flanked by the sea on one side, and the Tagus on" the other. Letters from Oporto describe the rage of the French as excessive, at finding every place they came to de- serted by the inhabitants, and stripped of every article which could afford them the means of subsistence or plunder. Vizen was set fire to, and almost totally de- stroyed ; and most of the towns in the Sierra d'Estrella have shared the same fate. Masseua is alledged to have promised his troops the plunder of Lisbon; imd, goaded by their distresses, aud incited by the hopes of booty, they will, 110 doubt, fight with the utmost desperation ; bul they are opposed by men of whose valour, steadi- ness, and discipline, they have already had a sufficient specimen ; and by a General who has never been beateu 1 tho' sometimes opposed to double his uumbcr. Letters from Lima, of the 22d of June, state, that the revolutionary spirit was spreading itself among the inhabitants of the kingdom of Peru ; but that, from the prompt and vigorous measures taken by the Vice- roy, nothing was to be feared. He instantly collected a large body of troops in Lima; stifled the spirit in its infancy 1 sent a body of troops, with a Fiscal at their head, to Paz, where nine persons were beheaded : and then proceeded to Quito, where 40 more were hung. The Bishop was tried, but there not appearing suffi- cient proofs to convict hiin, he was acquitted, to Ihe great regret of the Fiscal. The letters conclude with an opinion, that after those strong measures, nothiii" of the kind will again occur iu that kingdom. Yesterday arrived French Papers to the 13th, and Dutch to the 14th ; some German Papers were also received, but uot of a later date than those which came to hand on Tuesday. Au article from Trieste confirms the previous advices from the same place, that Turkish vessels were directed by the French Government to be treated as neutrals.— This proceeding, at the same time that it indicates a disposition lo conciliate the Porte, may be considered as an additional proof that the re- lations between France anil Russia are not of the most amicable description. According to the intelligence from Constantinople, no English ship of war is to be, in future, suffered to pass iuto tlie Black Sea; but this piece of news, though pretended to come from Con- stantinople is, we IIEVC 110 doubt, of Parisian manu- facture. The Turks would, we are persuaded, have no objection to any naval or military assistance that might be offered to them ia that quarter. The Russians, have, at last, renounced the project of forcing the entrenched camp ofSchumla, Bonaparte has ordered such of the clergy of the Roman States to be suspend- ed from their functions, as caunot bring themselves to believe that obedience to his mandate is enjoined by the Church and by Jesus Christ. It is certainly an ai tide of faith very difficult of digestion, and whoever subscribes to it can only do so upoti the maxim—• credo quia impossibile est. Bernailotte arrived at Frankfort on the 4th inst. The Lords of the Admiralty have promoted all the Commanders to the end of 1802, inclusive, who are employed in actual service, to be Post Captains; and 20 of the senior Lieutenants of the fleet, who are first Lieutenants of effective ships of the line, to be Com- manders.

He was impelled lo do this, as he states, from Having several nights suc- cessively dreamt that the above number would be the identical one to gain Ihe five capitil prizes ; aud says, that it was alone owing to this ominous dream, that he was at all induced to become au adventurer in the Lotiery.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26.,; His Majesty's 50th Anniversary.— Most of the streets al the West eiu! of the town were illuminated last night. It was generally understood that such de- monstrations of joy would not he agreeable to the Roy'al Family, on account of the alarming state ofthe Princess Amelia; and, therefore, no preparations were made for the occasion. About ton o'clock, however, a mob of boys collected, anil, proceeding thro'the prin- cipal stress, compelled the inhabitants to put up lights. • A tnfmberof window's wcre- hrokeu.— At both Theatres the loyal anthem of " God Save the King" was sung with ecstatic applause.— I. ord Eardley, iu order to com- memorate the day on which his Majesty has completed ' the" 50lh year of his reign, has, with the philanthropy peculiar io his Lordship, given 100 guineas to the Society for the Relief of Small Debtors; thereby ren- dering the day truly a Jubilee to many poor unfortu- nate sufferers — All the children in the habit of attend- ing Mr. Lancaster's school, about 1000, were feasted with plumb pudding,' & c.; and medals anil other dis- tinguishing marks of favour awarded to his scholars, according lo their respective merits. CAPTURE OF THE ISLE OF BOURBON, J. ATHR. V NAMED THE ISLE OF BONAPARTE. The dispatches containing the details of the taking of this inland will be found in the Gazette Extraordinary, inserted in the last page. Its great value to this coun- try has been sufficiently proved, hy the immense loss that our commerc has sustained from suffering it and the neighbouring settlement of the Mauritius to remain BO long in the hands of the French.— Bourbon is about 60 miles in length, arid 30 in breadth. It lies 90 miles to the west ( if the Isle of France, and 370 east of Mada- gascar. The soil is in general sandy, but in those parts that admit, of cultivation il is uncommonly fertile. There are Warty good roads for shipping, particularly on'the north and south side-, and, with the possession of the Isle of Fvance, it, afforded means to the French to greatly ailtioj Out commerce with India. By its capture, Bonaparte is afforded an additional ground of high boast; and havltfgYioW only one colony remaining on the face of the globe ( which there is reason to hope will also be speedily wrested Tiom his grasp), we may congratulate him on the fulfilment of his solemn pro- mise lo the people of France, that, al the expense of England, he w ould soon have abundance of" ships, colonies, and commerce!" Capt. Flinders, who was So long unjustly detained a prisoner at the ls'e of France, is arrived in town with the officer who brought the dispatches relative to the taking of the Isle of Bourbon. Lord Valentia left town yesterday for Portsmouth, there to embark on board the Hiberuia, Of 110 guns, for Turke , in order to make a tour of that Empire. Letters from Stettin, to the 4th, mention a strong " The times demand this open avowal of pur sentiments, ' and in the language employed to convey tbeta we intend rto disrespect; though we are persuaded that n6 words can be too'strong to express our Feelings upon this occasion. There- fore, we earnestly retreat your hon.

The Olvfnpia, cutter, Lieut. Taylor, on her. passage home with dispatches relative to the capture of tbe Isle of Bourbon, took I'Atalaute French brig, pierced for 18, hut mounting onlv two guns, bound from the Isle of France to Bourdeaux, with a valuable cargo.— Gazette. German Papers to the 14th instant are arrived. All Bonaparte's revolutionary Kings, Queens, and Princes are in motion. Oil the Uth, Bernadotte, the new Crown Prince of Sweden, arrived at Hamburgh, on his way to Sweden. It is said he is appointed General- issimo of all the Swedish armies, which he will, no doubt, soon tearn to direct to his own purposes. The Ex- ftueen of Holland is going to Paris, and the Count, St. Leu, the Ex- King, left Toplitz in tbe beginning of this month for Gratz, to visit the Emperor of Austria, after which, it is said, he will proceed to France. The repudiated Empress, Josephine, goes to Neufchalel. Bonaparte is evidently afraid that others of his royal brood may follow the example of brother Lucien, and take wing. Some of them he will, therefore, endea- vour to conciliate ; others he will watch more closely. An article from Dantzic states, that the English had made an attempt to surprise the Polish troops at the Isle of Haiti, but failed. French Journals to the 6th instant, have brought us Massena's account of the battle of Buzaco; in which, with his wonted disregard of truth, he boasts of having driven the British before him— in assertion which the fact of his having left anOO dead on the field of battle, to he buried by us, serves completely to falsify. He also states, that he took a great number of prisoners, though it has been accurately ascertained that the num- ber of our missing was very few. He concludes with saying, that he was in full and close pursuit of the British. He certainly was close upon Ihe British lines; and it is for information of the result of the conflict which ensued, that the Britith Public are at present in such anxious expectation. Private letters from Paris repeat the report, that the Archduke Charles is to be made King of Spain, and that an Austrian army is to march to Ihat country. A Paris paper of ihe 15th contains a most extraor dinary decree, issued by Bonaparte, relative to servants both male and female. They are to he registered, to receive a card of inscription, stating whom they serve. No person is permitted to hire any domestic who is not provided with this card of inscription. The object of i this abominable decree is to extend further the horrible sensation having been produced there hy the report \ system of espionage, and to make every servant a spy, that the King of Pruisia had sought the of i if his master. protection Alexander against the encroachments of France. i The Grand Seignior, it is said, has joined the Grand Army ; the amount of which is now estimated at three hundred thousand men. He is reported to have sworn by the Prophet to bring the war with Russia to a speedy anil fortunate conclusion."

He is scarccly ever a moment absent from his young Empress, whom some recent pasquinades assert, lie will introduce to a scat in the Cabinet. He flutters an ay his time al halls, fetes, and in the theatre. Yesterday Rebecca Bowers was convicted at Bow street, in the mitigated penally of £ 5. for selling fire- works, bul in consequence of her poverty the money was deposited in the hands of a Gentleman, to be returned, if she refrained from repeating the offence on or about the 5th of November. A Morning Paper mentions, that Lord and Lady P. anil Lady A. W. have all recently taken up their resi- dence in Scotland. Lady P. has taken the opportunity of commencing a suit for a divorce from her Lord ; and it is understood, as soon as it terminates, that she is to marry the Duke of A. and that Lord I'. is to marry Lady W.— Our readers will recollect the mora! and rigorous obstacles lo divorce, which have been estab- lished as regulations to the order of proceedings in the House of Lords. It is now a tremendous tribunal for any fashionable pair to resort to. There arc no facilities to be found there ; and we trust and hope, that in the next Sessions of Parliament this northern door will be made to cicnlc on its hinges. PRINCESS AMELIA.— About ten days since, on the awful communication being made to the Princess Ame- lia, that it was the opinion of the Doctors that she could not survive long, she expressed a wish to have a very valuable stone put to a ring for the King, to wear in remembrance of her— and that it might be nianu factured without delay, that she might have the pleasure of presenting it to her beloved Father previous to her departure. The ring was accordingly executed in a very short time, and her Royal Highness has had the satisfaction of placing it on his Majesty's finger. A meeting of Ihe Kentish freeholders was held on Monday, at Maidstone, when a petition in favour of Parliamentary Reform was agreed lo, iu nearly the follow ing terms: " To the right hon. Ihe House of Commons of the United " Kingdom of Great Britain anil Ireland. " We, the Inhabitants of the County of Kent, in full < county meelins assembled, conscious of the right we possess of addressing and petitioning yout honourable House upon all public atlahe, and impelled by a high sense of the duty we owe to ourselves and to our country, beg leave to lav before von oui o| iinioiis and sentiments on the present defective state of the representation of the people, • To tlie wisdom and justice of the original design of con- vening in Parliament tbe representatives of the people, to delibi rate and co- operate with the Sovereign and the Peers, upon every question of national concern, we give our nnquali- fud application; but when we take into our consideration the dtcay of some boroughs, once prosperous and well peopled, the rise and flourishing conditions of others, formerly of little note; when we reflet upon the iffec's of the heavy and in- stil portable expense of elections, which closes the doois of your honourable House to many of the be.- t fncnds of theii country, and robs it of their laitliful services: when we think of 1 be se things, we are of opinion, that your honourable House is, at this time, by no mean's a fair representation of tbe people, mid from Ihe manner In which a large portion of the individual Meiribeis obtain and secure their seats in your ho- nourable House, we cannot but infer, that that high- and sacred cilice, intended for Ibe | ublic service, is hequeutlv sought for and procured by unconstitutional means, and is too often per- verted from its original design, and rendered subservient to j livate ends : To this cause we ascribe the greatest part of the national calamities we now have todeplote. The mean principles, aud narrow views, which have too long governed the Councils of the Cabinet - the false ambition, aud l. ttle inlrignes of its Membeis, the coniiiiuance- of a system of es- pei. ditnie lavish beyond example, the many disgraceful expe- ditions, in which the Mood and treasure trf - cur- country have been prodigally wasted— the- decisions Of your honourable House, iu direct opposition to the general sentiments of the ation,— the unwillingness hitherto evinced by your honour- able House, to promote tiiquiiy into, or correct the abuses in tbe Representation, an unwillingness which cannot lail lo excite our distrust, end to diminish the icspcct we ( live to the name and functions of yotn hon, Ileus- ; and we deplore tiarticiilarly, one instance of this unwillingness of which we complain, iu your rejection of a motion made in the iusi Session of Parliament, by oue of the Menibers, 0f< tit County oi Hens; as lhai motion, had it beeu adopted by iout lion.

On that day all the shipping were ordered to leave that, port, anil to proceed to Vigo, and there to wait for convoy to England, in consequence of the apprehension that the French would enter Oporto the following day. AH communication between Lisbon and Oporto had heeu cut oil'. Such is the intelligence brought hy the above ship. A letter by the mail from Halifax, arrived yesterday, tniiounces the sailing of another regiment from Ihat place to reinforce our army in Portugal, where it has doubtless by this time arrived. Several vessels have been ordered from Plymouth, to ro- operate with the military operations at Santona and its vicinity, on the north coast of Spain. Private accounts state, that the object of the Emperor of A ustria's visit to Paris is to concert some measures witli Bonaparte relative to Spain; the sovereignty of which il is proposed to confer on the Archduke Charles. A letter has been received from Oporto, announcing an unpleasant fact, not before published. The French, to the number of 3000 cavalry, suddenly appeared, prior to the affair of Bnsaco, oil the. south bank ofthe Vouga. Col. Trant, with about 5000 infantry, and a squadron of horse, was at that time on the north shore of the same river. On the approach of the enemy, all his efforts to induce the Portuguese militia to maintain their ground were ineffectual; the cavalry fled first, the infantry followed, and the baggage was left at the dis- posal of the enemy. The French hail important duties to perform to the South of the Vouga, and the baggage as well as the troops fortunately reached Oporto. A leller from Madrid states that Joseph had returned to the capital, that the inhabitants were in misery, that a contribution was levied of 200,000 rials per day, to supply the Court, the treasury being without money, and that the cedulas, or royal paper, was at 92 per cent, discount. The hills of San Fernando, the former Go- vernment paper, w as at 88 per cent, discount. Letters and papers from all parts of Germany and the Baltic were received this morning. Those " from Koningsberg are as late as the 6th instant, and inform ns, that seven vessels were then discharging cargoes of colonial produce without ^ opposition. They expected a part ofthe convoy of 600, which has passed the Sound, and had made au agreement with the French Colonel who had visited that, port, Ihat three or four of them should be condemned, pro forma, but the remainder ente: e i as in ballast, although loaded v ith sugar, coffee, & c. These three or four w ere afterwards to be released. From Merael, letters, dated in the. end of September, state, that no ships were allowed, for the present, to enter that harbour, lint it was hoped that the restriction would he soon removed. According to letters from Ihe Cape of Good Hope, ol the 27th of August, the preparations for an attack upon the Isle of France were expected to be completed by the beginning of this month. Admiral Bertie was on the point of leaving the Cape, in the Nisus frigate, to join the blockading squadron. The expedition was lo rendezvous at the isle ot Bourbon. The whole of the military force intended to proceed Upon this service, including the reinforcements from the Cape, 6000 men expected from Bombay, and what could he spared from Bourbon, was estimated at. nearly 44,000 men. The capture ot the Isle of France being effected, Bonaparte will not have a single colony left in any part ofthe world. Some letters from officers of the highest rank in Ihe British service mention, that the Marquis Roinana has crossed the Tagus wilh a Wee of 10,000 men, and was co- operating wilh Lord Welling I on at the date of the letters ( 13th instant). Twenty thousautl militia, iu pursuance of orders given for that purpose, were pro- ceeding up the Tagus to join tho allied army ; which amounted, at the lowest calculation, to 80,000 men, exclusive of the militia under General Silviera, Colonel Trant, & c. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated Ihe 29lh of September;— « 1 think that the French affairs are daily declining iu Spain; the immense desertions mils ruin any army, lu a. few months we have had upwards of 5000 of the finest German deserters, enlisted for our army passing through this place alone; and Colonel II , who arrived here from Cartliagena a few days ago, told me that 24 officers and 700 men had come over from the French the night before he sailed." Mr. Illigh, the late Governor of Botany Bav, and his family, liar e arrived at Portsmouth, from New South Wales. They" came in the Hiudostan man of war. The following is a copy of a letter from a prisoner of war at Givet, m the Ardennes, dated the 26th ult. to his brother- ill law at Portsmouth : " The small stock of spirits ( so necessary in my present state of health) which I had regained bv removing from Arras to this place, and by the cheat ing expectation of peace, is again gone ; end I do indeed- know what sickness of heart it! is which aiises from hope deferred. Mr. Mackenzie, no doubt, will speedily return to England— tio expectations are enter- tamed in this part of France that be can possibly succeed.— Several of our men, enriged at the failure of the negociation, have escaped ; what is tccorhe of. them is another question Those who are pone off are wary dogs ; but it makes it the worse for those that remcin. The, country here is a terrestrial paradise— provisions are abundant to profusion ; but wage extremely low. Few abb men are left; the women, like tbe boat- women of our town, aie engaged in the most laborious services." * A gentleman who left Paris about a week since, and who had an. opportunity of seeing the French Empress, states, that she is obviously iu a very advanced state of pregnancy. Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall at which the Report of the Committee ap- pointed to take into consideration the propriety of in- creasing the time at present allowed for the election of Aldermen, and also for increasing the sum necessary to qualify persons to hold the ofiice, from .£ 10,000. to £' 30,000. being* brought up, it was resolved after a debate, that the period of election he increased to eight days, and the qualification to j£ 30,0l) Q* The Cqdio!/ cs,—~' Vhe following sentiments respecting Bona- parte were lately uttered bv Counsellor M'Donnel, at a meeting of the Roni- an Catholics in the County of Mayo.— We hope he expressed the feelings and opinions of the whole of the Catholic body on the character and conduct of the Corsican Tyrant:—" For nlyself, I sincerely declare that 1 do hold French principles and French influence iu such ab- horrence, that I would rather wander over the heath, and pine away and perish on the mountains of mv country, than stoop to be the abject slave of such a wretch as Bonaparte; for, under such a Government, every subject is a slave • do not, however, imagine that it is because he has raised himself from obscurity to his present rank, that 1 condemn him — I care ndt, whether he be Napoleon the 1st, or Napoleon the 31st ; it is because he. is a tyrant, and I hate tyranny, that I abominate him." Sturdy Beggar.— Yesterday John Winter was charg- ed at the Mansion- house with going into a counting- house, ill Cloak- lane, and demanding charity; which not being complied with, he threatened to use violence. The Lord Mayor asked him what he had to say for himself; when he behaved very insolently, and said they might both beg before - tSey died." He was sent to Bridewell for ten days, ' and ordered to have the cor- rection of the house when he goes in aud conies out..

The wind, though variable, has been mostly to the northward for the last four days, and consequently unfair. A Dublin paper of the 26th, received this morning, has an article from ihe head- quarters of our army, dated on the 16th, two days later tluiii the last dispatches, which were dated the 14th. The article mentions that the battle was expected to take place on the 19th or 20th. In the absence of real intelligence from Portugal the town has been furnished w ith fabricated accounts of the hostile armies. A paper has been handed about ' Change to- day, purporting to be ail address from Massena to his army on defeating I. ord Wellington. 11 is dated the 17th of October, and was said to nave been received by way of Corunh*. It is, however, a forgery. Go- vernment have not received a line of intelligence from the army in Portugal, since the dispatches brought by the Apollo trigalc, nor have, any latpr accounts been received by any individual in the metropolis. There is reason to believe, that up to the 24th inst. no cheering intelligence hail reached Bonaparte's " Good City of Paris ;" for various letters from the French Capital to that date are completely silent on the subject of intelligence from the army, and that is seldom the case when there has been any thing gratifying to French pride tq communicate.— The restrictions on commerce remain in full force, and every day fresh duties are laid on goods which may be expected from England iu order to make the price tantamount to a prohibition. Indeed so far is the British Government convinced of the intention ot the French Government to interdict all trade with England, that it has coine to the resolution of meeting the enemy half- way, and accordingly the Board of Trade have this day informed the merchants who waited upon them on the subject, that it was not 1 vinot'l the intention of Government at present to grant any j ' licences lor vessels to proceed to and from France and Holland with any kind of goods whatever, or even in ballast. Two more houses at Liverpool have slopped pay- ment, according to accounts received from thence to day. It is lepo ted ihat some iiegociation is in tiain to bring Lord Sidmouth and his friends into the present Administration, lo the event of this taking place, it is expected that Lord Si liiiouth will take tbe ofliee of President of the Council, in the room of- Earl Camden— and that Mr. B itbnrst will succeed Mr. llyder as Secretary for the Home Depaitm. nt. The. talents of the Earl of Buckinghamshire will also, it is said, be exerted in a conspicuous situation. Some disturbances have taken place at Falmouth, which are likely to be attended with serious consequences Most of file crews on board tbe Packet in the harbour have beeu in a state of mutiny, which originated, as the letter states,, in the rigid conduct ol the Custom House Officers, w ho insisted, con- trarv to custom, on examining the conteuts of every seamen's chest. It is stated that tbev did not w ait for the keys to open them, but proceeded to force tbe locks by violence. The sailors on tlie oiher hand, with as little ceremony broke tin heads of the supposed intruders, and a geneial scuttle was tbe consequence. Mattel8 proceeded to such a pitch that it w as deemed necessary to call in the Civil Powers, and afterwards that of tbe Military. The riot act was read, and the Cornish miners, aitracted by the reports which were soon inciiculation, canm down in crowds to Falmouth ; and every thing wore the most seriuus aspect. Many blows took place, but happily no lives were lost. Tiie atftay terminated by several ring- leaders being taken into custody, two of whom we. understand arrived iu town this morning, and are lodged in- the Compter. The affair has been taken up by the Post- Master General, aud will undergo a strict investigation. Two packets were about to sail from Falmouth, but their voyage has been pio tracted by the untowaid circumstances n ive alluded to. THE PRINCESS A ME:.' I*.— Mr. Small, tbe M - ssenge. r, arrived yesterday afterliooo trtitn Windsor, with an account that there was very little alteration in the stale of her Royal Highness. Ou Saturday the general answer to inquiries ivas, that she was much the same as un Friday. Ou Saturday nignt she had some short repose, and was pronounced a little better. J Three per cent. Consols 66J. Visiting Clergyman fhis week at the Infirmary P. ev. Mr. Griffith :— House- Visitors, Mr. Robert Richards and Mr. William Brayne. At the Weekly Board oil Saturday last, it was reported that Benj. tienyou, Esq. hail augmented his subscription from four to seven guineas per annum.— A donation of jffl. 14s. 3d. was received from Thomas Dickin, Esq. of Wem. being a line levied on a person for having un- lawful nets in his possession for the desliuetion of game. Thursday last our good and gracious Sovereign com pleted the 50th year of his reign— a circumstance which has only happened twice before in the long period of 1000 years. We rejoice to learn that he possesses perfect health, and promises the enjoyment of many vears in the bosom of his family and people. Though the very afflicting state of the 1' rinceSs Amelia pre- vented ihose demonstrations of affection, which resound- ed thro' the kingdom last year, yet it did not pass here altogether unobserved. The bells in the different parish churches ran- r merrily thro' the day ; nor did the even- ing close without the populate and the boys partaking to the full extent of their accustomed ttio' dangerous indulgence, in bonfires, squibs, crackers, & c. The first stone of a column, to commemorate our amiable Monarch completing Ihc 50th year of his reign, was, on Thursday, laid on Moel Famma, the lofty Clvwdian Mountain.— The company afterwards partook of excellent dinners, at Mold aud Ruthin, where the day was spent with that festivity and loyalty, so truly the characteristic of Antient Britons. Friday last, Thomas Uickin and Thomas Walford, F. sqrs. were elected Bailiffs of the Borough of Wem : Mr. John Darlington has been elected High Bailiff of the Town and Liberties of Drayton :—' The Rev. Jos. Shaw, Mayor, and the Bey. H. Rathbone, Justice, ot Stafford. Thursday last, an inquisition was taken before Mr. George Wiugfield, coroner, 011 the body of Elisabeth Owen, of Grinshill, aged 4 years. It is supposed Ihe child had been left m the house, with another about Ihe same age, while the mother went on an errand, 011 the preceding Monday; a neighbour, hearing a great noise, ran into the house, and discovered the child with its clothes all on fire ; she extinguished the flames, but ! the poor child was so much scorched, that she died a | day or two after.— And 011 Saturday last, another iuqui- I sition was taken before the sarnie gentleman, ou tbe body of —— Smith, of this town, who was found drowned, near the Flash. It appeared that he had gone upon business to Mr. Kent's, of Newton, on Wed- nesday last, and set out 011 his return home about eight o'clock ; an 1 it is conjectured, that owing to the dark ness of the night he missed his road and fell into a ditch tilled by the overflowing of the Severn, where the body was discovered by a labourer, nearly covered with water.— Verdict in both eases accidcntal death. Tuesday, the 23d of this month, being the day on which the Honourable George Augustus Frederick Henry lliidgeman, eldest son of Lord Bradford, attained the age of 21 vears, it was celebrated at his Lordship's Seat at Weston, in the county of Stuffoid, by the ringing of b° lls, the roasting of two oxen whole, which, together with a proportionate quantity of bread, and six hogsheads of fine strong beer ( one cask of'which, containing three hogsheads, was brewed 16 vears ago) were distributed amongst the poor of the parishes of WESTON and BLY. MIULL, and a large concourse of strangers, to the amount of several thousands, who had assembled to witness the scene.— At three o'clock his Lordship's tenants ard many others adjourned from the Park ( where the oxen were roasted and distributed) to the Hall, and sat down to a bountiful dinner; after which many appropriate toasts were given, and drank with enthusiasm.— The evening was spent in the most convivial harmony, and tho company departed highly pleased with their entertainment.—' The Tenants and many well- wishers to the family upon his Lordship's Shrop- shire Eistabesdid honour to thedny. — ATKNOCKIN, BioDWEr. L, and liA'S- tosHCM, respectively,, an ox was roasted whole. At NESSCIIFF, two sheep were roasted, and a large ox ( iu another paper stated, by mistake, to be a cow) killed.— MOR- TON, MAESBROOK, KINNERLEY, and HUOHLEY were not behind their neighbouring Townships in demonstrations of joy 011 the occasion. The whole of the meat, wilh plenty of strong beer, were given to the pool of the respective places, in most ot which the more respectable part of the company dined together, and spent the evening wilh the utmost conviviality. — At. KNI. CKIN and Nasscttrr very high poles were erected, to commemorate tbe even' ; aud at the latter place a song ( composed for the occasion by a most respectable gentleman in the neighbourhood) was suug, and heard with great glee. At WALSALZ. a large oxnnd two fat sheep were dressed, and, with an adequate quantity of bread and beer, distributed amongst near a thousand of the families of poor cottagers within the Manor, as Wei? as others.— Vt C* sri. » R. OMVKB, Warwickshire, another Estate belonging to bis Lordship, a large 03^ was. roasted, ami with plenty of bread and strong beer, and i. t- o a quantity « f cloathing, given tothe poor. The principal inhabitants . lined together, and afterwards cave a bull to the ladies, vvhi'- b ve-.- wit qiiended. T irif'F ir RAT R E.— The ailmi rable Play of " The Doubt- fat Son, or The Seeret. s of o Palace," written by Mr Ditnoud wbich - brouchr out at om- Theatre on Monday, received every applause that could be bestowed. It is a Piece of consi- derable merit. The true delineation of the different port, ai'sin the drama', which were most interestingly drawn, was a difficult work to accomplish — and lustiee obliges, us to say, that the performers acquitted themselves of their arduous tusk in a manner that « as most highly creditable to their talents, an 1 proved the very clo- e. study and attention that thev must have given to their various characters, to he „ b! e tr> represent tlietn to the house To a manner so reputable to themselves, arid so veiy stronc'y and impressively in favour of the per- formanee :— and this, we believe to he tbe unanimous opinion of all who were present at tho representation.— The little Phenomenon, NT iss Charhbere?, was rnost flatteringly received in her sons and dance. She gives a great share of nt- r. lt- ct. rnedv to her singing, and the company always'send her off in bill- Thing hnino- 1 •• bv their sbe-. i- of nntirobation. A turnip, of the white Norfolk kind, which measured three feet in circumference, ami weighed upwards of 22 pounds, was oil Tuesday last taken up in a. garden belonging to Sir Pyers Mostyu*' Bart, of Taiacre, near Holywell. The driver of a Brighton coach ( since absconded) was convicted in London, on Saturday, irt two penalties of £ 5 each, for quitting the coach Imx without leaving a person in charge of the horses ; and a third penalty o£ £• 10 for abusive language to the passengers.—' Theso penalties are a part ofthe provisions ofthe ne- v act. i The tempestuous gales which prevailed about ten days ago, have caused the destruction of some shipping . lives. On the same evening that the arrival of Jeffery w: tt announced, Cobbett's Register contained a loni and laboured article, to, prove, that it was impossible for that unfortunate poor fellow to be alive. | Thomas Adkins, Mary Baxter, John Pe- rg, Samuel | Soates, an 1 John Everett, a most dangerous set of ven- ; iters of base coin, & c. were taken inlo custody a few | days since at Leicester. A large quantity of counter- feit dollars, sixpences, shillings, half- crowns, seven I shilling pieces, and forged notes, were found upou them. Caution.— Persons casting fire works of anv kind inlo a public street, house, shop, river, or highway, are liable t:> be fined 20s for every offence, and in default of immediate payment to be committed to the House of Correction, anil kept to hard labour for one month. On Saturday last, Henry Saxoni, Efiz. Pickering, Edw. Cossens, and Jane Jameson, were convicted before the Magistrates at the Town Hall, in Liverpool, in the penalty of five pounds each, for selling squibs anil other fire works.—' The use of these compositions is- attended with great risque in the streets of a populous town, from the hazard of fire— they are certainly a great nuisance to foot passengers, anil seriously danger- ous to those on horseback or in carriages. The supply of Salt Butler at Rriifgnorth Fair, on Monday last, was rather scanty; average price 131, per lb. A man in the neighbourhood of St. Helen's, who had parted with his wife, lately, in a fit of desperation at her refusing to return to him, cut the throats of his three children, and afterwards committed the same violence upon himself I At first the lives of all were despaired of, but one of the children, and the man, are now likely to recover. The other two children died almost immediately. In the code of Anglo- Saxon laws, the following was enacted in Ihe case of crim. con.—" If a freeman licr with a freeman's wife, let him buy another wife for the injured party." How this might be relished in the present davs we know not; but it probably was the origin of the principle upon which pecuniary damages are supposed to be a full compensation ; altljo' we do- not recollect many instances of gentlemen applying their money in the purchase of a second wife. When wen 0f ability devote their time to public good* it is reasonable to hope that a remuneration, suited to the advantages reaped from their experience, will he the result. This has been happily illustrated in the case of Dr. Solomon, of Liverpool, in tbe extensive sale which the Co. dial Balm of Gilead has experienced, and incontestibly proves that it is the best, MEDICINE ever discovered for those disorders which ate 11 , iv prevalent in this kingdom, and which for a length of time have baffled the skill and effirtsof the most eminent physicians- we mean nervous and consumptive complaints. This medicine has stood the test and answered tbe expectations not only of a long private practice, but also of those who had recouise to it since it was made public for universal good.

OLYMPIC GAMES by GREECE were given, And CIRCUS SPORTS by ROME ; But Britons raWe'their voice to Heaven For Virtues throned at home ; And, from ihe Peasant to the Peer, • They hail this day, to millions dear! Now FIFTY YEARS have pass'd away, And seen the mildest SOVEREIGN sway A People, happy, great, aud free! That People, with one common voice, From THAMES to GANGES' shores rejoice In UNIVERSAL JUBILEE I May Heaven the cheri.- h'd life extend Of ALBION'S Monarch, Father, Friend, For many a future year! Long be postponed that hour of fate When HE, the just,, the good, tbe great, Shall cause the general tear ! To the Third HENRY'S troubled sway A few more vears were given ;* But history never mark'd that day As bless'd by earth or heaven. While millions, yet unborn, shall own Our MONARCH'S virtues grac'd his throne. The upright Judges of the land, From worldly influence free, Confirm'd by his benign command, For every guatd our liberty ! This act alone endeais his name Beycnd the pride of CRISSY'S fame ; By this our rights are made secure, And the strong spring of JUSTICE pure ! His bounty opes the dungeon's door To liberate the sc. ff'ring poor, And set the wretched free;— Glowing with joy, their hearts shall own That MERCY'S SEAT is GEORGE'S THRONE, And bless the happy JUBILEE ! ACE shall his weight of years beguile, And POVERTY reliev'd shall smile ; CARE'S wrinkled brow shall disappear, And SORROW intermit her tear. For RICH and POOR one chorus raise To England's glory, GEOKCE'S praise ! CONTENDING PARTIES all agree Tu celebrate tbe Jubilee ; Warmly they join the general voice, And, enmity foigot, rejoice ; Exclaiming all with one accord— " Long live in health OUR SOVEREIGN LORD !" All but the base degen'rate few, Who patriot feelings never knew ; Who liv'el obhor'd, and mark'd,. like CAIN, The tools of France, and England's bane 1 If there's a traitor in the land Who will not raise for GEORGE his hand ; Whoi- e heart, malignant,. grieves fro see ALL ENCLAND rise in JCBILEE— Let the DESESTID MONSTER lind Seine cavern blacker than his mind- There let him waste, his life away, Nor with his presence blast this day. While half the world in shackles groan Beneath a CRUEL TYRANT'S throne, Drench'd in an hundred people's blood ! Britons, with glowing bosoms, sing— " May GOD preserve our PATRIOT KING, " The MORAL, nous, JUST, and GOOD !" Where is the Virtue which be has not shewn To honour man, and dignify a throne > Be this his praise— all uiher praise above—. A Prince enthrori'd upon his People's love ! His subjects' rights are foster'd in his mind. The lo'v'd anil honoui'd Tnusof mankind ! ' O'er whom may Heaven its awful iEois throw To blast tbe traitor and confound the foe 1 Then let the nations, who confess his sway, For ever celebrate this happy day, And ev'rv loyal subject sing " MAY GCD PRESERVE OUR PATRIOT KING'." * It is worthy of remark, that our present Sovereign has reigned As a MAN I' nger than an> Monarch who ever swayed the English sceptre— tor, though lleifry 111. reigned six years, and Edward 111 six months longer, they both ' came to the Throne bovs, one being scarcely ten years old, atid tire ether fourteen. standing longer than the square walls which form the outside. The outer walls are its defence against elemental and instru- mental force ; and possibly a square tower within might have stood as long as a round one, unless there be in the latter form some principle of greater absolute durability. I cannot assert this with any stronger mode of expression ttian as conjecture ; but it ' is my opinion or belief that the circular form is preferable to the square: and if I were possessed of property to build a magnificent mansion, it should be con- structed agreeably to such belief: either as one large com- plete circle, or as two or three or more circular turrets, the walls of the interstices of cbtirsc remaikably strong and thiak, because, if such an edifice were ever to be attacked with can- non, those interstices would receive the momentum of the balls from a part of the two sides of turrets in contiguity. Bv the word circular, I mean the strict principle of the complete circle, and not a semicircle without and a flat or right lined side within'-, so that my mansion or castle should be the same On ' both sides, tfnd the space between each turret should be as short as possible. Chuiches, but especially towers of churches, should he circular. Perhaps indeed square bodies wilh round towers might be better adapted for purposes of worship and oratory. As the drift of this letter is rather interrogative than affirmative, though some of its positions do not bear the interrogative foi m, I therefore consider that the most proper signature is to iubscribe Youi's respectfully, A QUERIST. • LINES, Written upon the lion.

Weston, October 24, 18It). J. 11. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. THE CIRCLE, AND THE SQUARE. Mr. Editor, On perusing the tours of different travellers, some with engravings of ruins, and others merely descriptive without such accompaniments, I observe both in the typographical descriptions, and engiaved views, of the castles and other edifices, that those pans of the ancient buildings which still retain the greatest portion of the original construction, are of the circular form : but 1 have not found a single instance of rational irtfereme fioui that ciicumstance. — I therefore wish to ask the learned, and skilful iu matters of architcetuie, whether this preservation uf the circular parts of those build- ings may be ascribed to a superior principle of din ability in the circular/ orm of cpnstiuction, or whethei those towers are of luler date in the period of their erection?— The fact is certain; but the cause is uot so evident. That tbe circular form is best adapted to res- ist the impression ol external force from the missiles of artillery is an admitted principle; and hence the Ilinrtello towers aie so built. They are also of utility for the purpose of affording a greater range to the pieces of ordnance used from the lamparts than il they pre- t scntcd a square front.— It is not Improbable that the round j towers could not be demolished so easily by the bcsiegeis' cannon during the civil wars, A question lieie arises, w hether , there are any of these fortresses'at s'liong buildings, which never were attacked with cannon? If so, do their ciicular towers or turrets still appear nunc perfect than the other parts — If this be the fact, and the period of their erection co- eval with the other parts, reason says thai all buillings. intended for strength anil tlura- bilily should be constructed as much as possible in the circular fuim, except thejiienef bridges. This exception is hardly uicessaiy, il we uttuch to the word buildiAg, tho- e suucturcs designed mote or less for human habitation, or as places of deposit lor the menus of defence, or of sustenance, either as armouries or granar. es.

Bath.— Mr. Palmer, the Mayor of Bath, has recently contributed greatly to the pleasure and advantage of lhat city, by a plan which he devised for cleansing the celebrated springs, to which it is so much indebted for its consequence and popularity. Previous to the attempt to carry this plan into execution, Mr. Palmer, we understand, consulted every person likely to be conversant wilh the subject, and had so much encouragement from scientific and intelligent men, that he ventured upon the experiment, A vast number of persons, however, were resolutely adverse to tbe measure, and predicted the most ruinous consequences. For some time the process was so discouraging, that those, who had i animated him to the undertaking began to despair, and | advised him to desist. Convinced, however, of the benefit that would result from the success of the operation, and de termined to proceed with the utmost caution, he persevered, and his efforts have fully accomplished the object in view.— The waters, therefore, instead of passing through many strata of earths, are now derived pure from their source, and such measures have been adopted as w ill effectually secure them ftom future adulteration, or any diminution of their virtues. It may easily be conceived that all the fears and prejudices which attended the undertaking have been converted into additional esteem for Mr. Palmer, and admiration of the firmness, good sense, and public spirit which mark his character. Combination amongst Workmen.— At the late Man- chester Quarter Sessions, three appeals were tried upon con- victions against William Howard, Thomas Moliueux, John Taylor, James Gibbons, Martin West the elder, and Robert Molineux, of Manchester, sawyers, for having unlawfully entered inte a combination, together with other sawyers, to obtain an advance of their wages. It appeared that many of the sawyers had combined together to accomplish their illegal objects. Mr. Scarlett, counsel for the timber mer- chants, observed, that had the prosecutors taken a diffeient course, anil proceeded against these men for a conspiracy, the punishment must have been highly peual, but they had adopted a more lenient step, and he trusted the piesent prosecutions would sufficiently operate as a salutary example, uot only to the defendants, but the other workmen who had tuined out, and whose conduct was certainly ruinous to them- selves and families. The Court confirmed the convictions, and the prisoners weie committed to Lancaster castle foi three months each, and also until they paid the sum of 521. the costs incurred by the prosecutors, as authorised by the Act or Pailiametit. SfAi ti. — Liberty of the Press.— The following proceeding upon this important subject took place in the Spanish Cortes, on the Slth ult :— Arguellessaid, that, without the intention of bringing the subject completely under discussion, he could uot do less than call the attention of the Cortes towards an object of the greatest importance, and which he looked upon as a necessary preliminary to the salvation ofthe country ; be meant the " Political Liberty of the Press." He said he was far from w ishing that they should immediately proceed to determine on a point of such high interest and mate ial consequence ; but that, if the proposition should meet the approbation of the Assembly, they might appoint a Committee, which, taking into consideration all that has already been written ou this important subject, might examine and investigate the question, and submit to the Cortes the result of their labours and their reflections, and point out the manner in which it might appear to them that the political liberty of the press may be fixed. Zoiraquin and l'erez de Castro supported the motion of Arguellcs. A Clerical Deputy manifested some opposition. Torrero, anolher ecclesiastic, ascended Ihe Tribune, and in a very animated manner pointed out the evils which had already been experienced from the want of the Liberty of the Press, and the benefits which would result to us from its po. ilic. al freedom. He said, that it was necessary Ihe Cortes should proceed in the opposite course from lhat which the Central Junta had taken, substituting, for Ihe criminal silence and mysterious conduct of that Government, the publicity of their sittings, aud the liberty of writing upon political sub- jects. The prohibition of that freedom had discredited the Central Junta from the first moment of its institu- tion. The Public, he observed, had a right, and it was even their duty to interest themselves iu tiie conduct of their Representatives, and to warn them of the errors which they might notice in their proceedings, and Which warning could only be givou through the medium of the Press. It was always necessary to consult Public Opinion, " whose echo was the Press " The want of the Liberty of the Press, was, at the present moment, an impediment to the labours of the Committee which the Cortes had appointed, to consider certain questions relative to the august duties of the Executive Power, Almost all the members voted for the motion, and a Committee was appointed, composed of eight Members, among whom were Arguellcs, Perez de Castro, Palacios, and Hermida, Ciod bless your Honour, you saved my life,' ex- claimed a raw soldier, on meeting an officer uuder whom he once served—" What do you mean, you rascal i" retorted the officer ; " 1 never was your doctor."—" That's true," replied Pat; " but, hy my £— 1, you ran away, aud I followed you 1" Jeftery, the seaman, who arrived in London on Mon- day, has entered into arrangements with the family of Lord Lake, as advantageous lo himself as honourable to them. Ho looks extremely well, and has perfectly recovered from Ihe effects of his many sufferings. He says he was eight days on the island of Sombrero, during all Which time he hai nothing but rain water to subsist on, which he drank out of the crevices of the rocks; that several vessels passed within sight, but he was too weak to hail them; and that he was in the very last state ot starvation when the American vessel touched at the island. He left tow n on Thursday in high spirits, with his money, to see his mother. Some people were after him, to make him exhibit himself for money ; but he got his discharge from the service ex- pressly on the condition that he should immediately quit London. The following is an extract of a private letter from Lisbon, dated October 12 :— ' 1 Tne country is drove. The country between Coimbra and Lisbon is almost all like Bagshot heath. Every hill is a fortification— the form, a crescent. Within t'ne chain we have collected all the produce of the country through which we have retreated. We are consequently abundantly supplied, with Lisbon iu our rear ; while the enemy has nothing. Our right flauk is covered by the Tagus, and out left by the Ocean. Within the fortified chain, we have 70,000 fighting men. Rotnana is descending south of the Tagus, with about 15,000 men. Generals Wilson and Silviera are in the north, on the enemy's rear; O'Donnel eastward. " On Monday Marshal Massena dined in Coimbra, in a convent. Captain Mellish, with a flag of truce, dined with him— all politeness, but no exchange effected of wounded. He promised ivithin a month to be in Lisbon I— Mere gas- conade I " The French froops commit horrible excesses — break open all houses not opened to them ;— and, judge of their privations, when myself, for 26 hours, vcould get no bread, meat, or scarcely water. A glass of wine would have been worth five shillings. The inhabitants flying, carry all off. " P. S.— The French, as far as I can collect, are 80,000 muskets — followers few— 110 luggage. Their cavalry are believed to exceed 20,000 , but one British regiment is equal to two of them— mere hacks •— The 30th regi. iieut is lauded, and we daily gain strength " Some years ago a box without any address, but of great weight, was removed from the Weigh House at Leith, and lodged in the outer aisle ofthe Old Church, Edinburgh. The box had lain for upwards of .' 10 years at Leith, and several years at Edinburgh, without a claim- ant, and, what is still more extraordinary, without any one ever having had the curiosity to examine it. On Tuesday se'nnight, however, some gentlemen caused it to be opened, aud to their surprise, found that it con tained a most beautiful statue of his Majesty, iu bronze; nearly as large as life. The statue is very well execut- ed, and presents a striking youthful likeness of th King, dressed in the Roman costume. It is at present unknown from whence this admirable piece of work- manship came, by whom it was made, or to whom it belongs. The Speaker and Sir Francis Burdett.— The trial at bar between Sir F. Burdi'tt and the Speaker of the House of Commons will not take place on the 30th of November; the trials fixed for that day, are those between tin; Hon. Baronet and the Serjeant at Arms, and Earl Moira, as Constable of the Tower. The question, as to the validity of the Speaker's Warrant, stands to be argued by demurrer. There is every reason to suppose, that the two cases already fixed to be tried at bar, may not come on to be tried on the 20th of November. It is still in the power of the Attorney General to move that these two cases, which are of a complex nature, be postponed, till the simple question as to the legality of the Speaker's Warrant be first disposed of, uuder the demurrer ; after which the remaining question as to the mode. The Efficacy of Mutual Caution.— General Lee, being in company at dinner with some Scotchmen, took occasion to say, soon after the cloth was removed, lhat he had an unfortunate propensity when he happened lo take a glass too much, which was to pour every sort of abuse on the Scotch ; and therefore, should any thing of the kind happen, he hoped they would excuse him. " By all means," said a rough cut Caledonian, who sat near the General—" We have all our failings, especially if tie have taken a glass too much : I myself have a very disagreeable propensity ; which is, tiiat it is the case with me to take Ihe first thing 1 can lay hold of, and knock down any man that abuses my country ; I hope the company will excuse me if any such thing should happen I" This speech had ils proper effect, for- the General did uot chuse to indulge his " un- fortunate propensity." A circumstance happened at St. Giles's Church, on Sunday, which may serve as a caution to congregations and other assemblies of people, against sudden alarm.— During Divine Service, a small piece of ornamental ceiling fell upon a poor woman silting in the middle aisle, and, although it was apparent that no further danger or damage was to be apprehended, a consider- able part of the congregation incautiously rushed to the doors of the Church, whereby another woman had her kg broken in two places, and several persons were much hurt and bruised. Ait American Aloe is now in full bloom at Delft, in Holland. Since the 26th of May last, it has thrown out a stalk 23 feet in length, and containing CO blossoms. A gentleman on horseback, returning from a country excursion the other Sunday oyer Blackfriar's Bridge, humourously demanded of the man who receives the toll what religion he could be of, seeing that he took money on the Sabbath ? The latter ( who, by the bye, was somewhat of a wag) answered, that it mi^ ht easily be seen he was a Jevr, from the circumstance of his keeping the pass- over. An inhabitant of Cologne, whose affairs called him to Paris, hit upon a singular method of defraying the expences of his journey. He betted 50 gold Napoleons, that, in three hours after his arrival in the capital, they should receive at Cologne a letter written by himself; and he won by more than 40 minutes. He set out from Cologne on the 24th ult. al seven in the morning, rode post, and arrived at I'aris on the 27 th, at ten A. M. Fulfilling the conditions made before his departure, Ihe hour of his arrival was verified, and two messengers dispatched at eleven with his letters ; one arrived in one hour aud fifty minutes, and the other in ten minutes less. These two amiable and swift mes seiigers were two very fine pigeons ! i A curious circumstance has occurred respecting No. 27, the j£' 20,000 Prize in the last Lottery', and which will afford some profit to the Gentlemen of the Long Robe. It appears to have been a favourite number, and a Gentleman conversant iu Lottery affairs, was requested by a friend in the country to purchase half a ticket of No. 27, and the same being his wife's age, he applied to an eminent Lottery- Office Keeper for the whole ticket, who replied he had it not, but if he would pay the usual deposit of 5s. ( which he accord- ingly did) he would procure it for him. The alfair rested till the day before the drawing took place, w hen the Gentleman applied for the ticket. The Lottery Office Keeper replied he had not been able to get it; the other told hun that he should insist upon his per- forming his promise, as he had actually wrote to his friend in the country that he had executed his com- mission, aud purchased the half ticket as desired. Westminster Hall will have to decide the business.

A dispatch, of which the following is an extract, ' was last night received by the Earl of Liverpool, one of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State. Extract of a letter from Lieutenant Colonel Keating, dated Bourbon, July 21, 1810. I have much pleasure in forwarding to your Lordship a copy oT my dispatch, under this date, to the Right Hon. the Governor- General of India ; and 1 hope the conduct of the forces confided to inv command may meet wath the gracious approbation of his Majesty. To N. B. Edmonstone, Esq. Chief Secretary to Government, Calcutta. SIR ,— I have the honour to report that the force, consisting of 1800 European and 1850 Native troops, which the Right Hon. the Governor- General of India, iu Council, has been pleased to confide to my orders nod directions, for the con- quest of the Isle of Bourbon, arrived at Roderigues on the 26th of Juue, at which time E was absent on tbe important duty which has already been detailed, for the information of his Lordship, in my letter of the lfith of the same month. The intelligence which I then obtained enabled me at once to decide upon a plan of attack. On the 24th June, Commodore Rowley, commanding the blockading squadron before Ihe Isles of France and Bonaparte, anchored in his Majesty's ship Boadicea, off Fort Duncan, in the Island of Roderigues. No time was lost in making the necessary arrangements for the reduction of this island, as well as for carrying into effect the ulterior object of the expedition. From the unfavourable state of the weather we were delayed at Roderigues- until the morning of the. 3d instant, when we weighed anchor, and proceeded to the point of rendezvous, fiftv miles to windward of the Island of Bonaparte, which point we reached at four o'clock on Ihe evening of the 6th, when, in consequence of the judicious arrangements made by Commodore Rowley, and the indefatigable zeal and exertions of Captains Pym of the Sirins, Lambert of the lphigenia, Curtis of tbe Magicienne, Willoughby of the Nereide, and indebted for the rapid and effectual support which he gave to the 1st brigaele, nor can I withhold my approbation of the conduct of Lieut. Cettel of the Royal Marines, who, with the detachment under his command, acted with the usual intre- pidity of that corps. I am well aware that I cannot add to the well- earned fame of Commodore Rowley, commanding his Majesty's squadron, whose merit as an officer is well known, anil duly appreciated; but I shall ever feel grateful for the cordiality with- which he has co- operated with me throughout the service ; and, as far as the success of the expedition depended upon the naval arrangement, the praise is unquestionably doe to- him. To Captains Pym, Lambert, Curtis, and Willoughby, of the Royal Navy, commanding; the frigates mentioned in the first part of this dispatch, the army is infinitely indebted for its effectual and speedy em- barkation : to Captain Willnugfiby, who more immediately superintended the landing to windward, and who served with* a party of seamen on Shore, mv thanks are particularly due; as also to Lieutenants llobb and Lloyd ( I take this opportunity of. stating, that the laiter officer was severely wotineled on the 21st of September last, when gallantly leading on 3 party of seamen; but in the hurry of my dispatch of that date, his name was omitted,) of his Majesty's ship Boadicea, ChudJs of the Ipfiigenia, and Lauhern of the Nereide. I must like- wise take this opportunity of expressing my approbation of the conduct of Lieutenant Pye of the Royal Marines, who was wounded while tinder iny command on the 21st of Scptember last. The commanding officers of corps and detachments, the heads of departments, awl the whole of t- be- sta- ff, bave merited iny warmest approbation ; Captain Parkinson of his Majesty's 33d regiment, DeputyAdjutant Generel, commands my particular thanks, not only for the conduct of his own immediate depaitment, but fur the active assistance which he afforded ine wherever required. Major Vernon, the Deputy Quarter- Master- General, has also my thanks for his zeal and attention, To Captain Barry, who acted as my Aide- de- Camp, I ain like . vise much indebted for the assistance which 1 receiv- ed from him duiing tbe service. Nor can I passover unnoticed the zeal and activity manifested by Lieutenant Blackiston, senior officer of Engineers, upon this occasion ; as also that of Lieutenant Robb, first of the Boadicea, the whole of the j Captain Snow* Commissary of Provisions, who commanded troops were removed from the transports and embarked iu the frigates, which immediately stood in for the points of debark- ation. It w ill appear by the disposition made in the plan of attack, for striking the first blow at the enemy's capital, that there were two objects in view ; first, to prevent a protracted warfare in the interior of a country almost inaccessible to an invading army ; and, secondly, to insure the final reduction ofthe island in the shortest time possible, by securing the principal garrison, and the Governor and Commander in Chief, whom 1 knew to be at St. Denis. The first brigade, composed of his Majesty's 86th regiment, the first battalion 6th regiment of Madias native infantry, and a small detail of artillery and pioneers, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Eraser, was ordered to land at Grand Cbaloupe, and to proceed by the mountains direct against the west side of the enemy's capital; whilst the. second, third and fourth brigades were to land at Riviere des Pluies, I and to force the lines of defence extending from the Butor Redoubt on the North Or sea side, to the Redoubt, No. 11, on the South, and from thence to cross the real of the towai to the river. About two o'clock p. rn.. on the 7th, the several ships having reached their stations, the beach from St. Marie, to within gun- shot of the imperial Battery, was reconnoitred by Captain Willonghby of the Royal Navy, and Lieutetiaut- Colonel Campbell, of his Majesty's 33J regiment, command- ing the 4th brigade, or the advance. The weather being then moderate, and the enemy not ap- pearing in strength, it was determined to debaik the troops.' Accordingly, Lieuteuant- Colonel Campbell, with one hundred and fiftv light troops of bis brigade, aud Captain Willoughby of the Royal Navy, commanding a parly of seamen, and appointed to superintend the landing, immediately pushed off, and landed their men about four o'clock. Lieutenant Colonel Macleod, of his Majesty's 69th regiment, command- ing 3d brigade, with one hundred and fifty men, effected a lauding neariy at the same time. But at tins moment the wind increasing with such violence, raised the surf to an unexpected height, and several boats being stove on the beach, the landing of more troops that evening became im- practicable. This important object was not, however, given up, until an experiment, concerted with Commodore Rowley, was put in execution. A small transport ( the Udnev) was run upon the beach, ill hopes that the troops might be en- abled to land over ber stern or under her lee. This seivice was peiformed hy Lieutenant Lloyd, 2d of the Boadicea, with the usual intrepidity which distinguishes our navy; but the violence of the weather, and natural difficulties of the situation, were such as to frustiaie the intention proposed. It now became necessary, if possible, to communicate with Lieutenant Colonel Macleod, the senior offict r with the detach- ment ou shore, which in landing had the. whole of their am- munition damaged, ' aud had Inst a considerable number of their arms. Lieutenant Fuulstone, of his Majesty's b9th regiment, in the tnost handsome manner volunteering to swim through the suif, his services were immediately accepted, and lhatofficer accoitlingly conveyed my oiders to the Lieutenant Colonel to take possession of, and occupy St. Marie foi the night. This service was performed by Lieuteiiajit- Colonel Macleod in a masteily and ollicer- like manner. I felt much anxiety for the detachment during the night; and as the practicability of disembarking more troops to wind> vard appear- ed to Commodore Rowley, as'well as myself, verv uncertain, Ihe Magicienne, having on board the 2d brigade, was dis- patcher! about ten o'clock p. m. to Grand Chaloupe, to which place it was determined that the Boadicea, with such trans- ports as had miliaty stoics on board, should follow in the moiniug. Accoiding tn this arrangement Captain Lambert, ofthe lphigenia, being left with diiections from Commodore Rowl. y to seize the first moment of modeiate weather to debaik ihai part of the 3d brigade then on board of his ship, I proceeded with the Conimoi- ore in the Boadicea, on the morning of the 8th, with the remainder of tne 3d and 4th brigades, and effected a landing to leeward, at Grand Chalortpe, anout eleven o'clock a. in. Willi ttiis force under my immed ate tomruaiid, I instantly moved forward by the mountains; at two o'clock p. in. passing over the heights, 1 reconnoitred the enemy's position, and by four o'clock had formed the neces- sary arrangements for the attack upon his capital. Majoj Austen, at the head of the 12thand 33d greriadiets, and 12. h native infantry, had received his final instructions to assail the town in the tear. Lienfeiiant- Cotonels Macleod, ofthe 69th, and Campbell of the 33d, had already passed the enemy's stiong position on the east of the town, from the Butor to No. 3, Redoubt. Lieutenant- Colonel Clarges was well advanced towaids the west of the town with live com- panies of his Majesty's 69th regiment, to force the batteries on the sea face ; and Lieutenant- Colonel Driirnmohd, com- manding the 2d brigade, had reinforced with the royal marines ol his brigade, the position so gallantly maintained by the 1st brigade, ou the west of the river St, Denis. Thiough the exertions of Major Taynton, commanding the artillery, and of Captain Mackintosh of the Bombay aitillery, assisted hy Lieutenant Colonel Clarges of the 69th regiment, and Lieut. Lanhern uf his Majesty's ship La Nereide, commanding a party of fifty seamen, 1 was enabled to get forward two field pieces, and one four and half inch howitzer, which were descending the mountain, nud would have been iu action in less than half an hour This would have insured the result of the premeditated attack ; or, in the event of any disaster, secured our letrcat; which latter was, in my opinion, next to an impossibility. Affairs were thus situated, when I received a message from the left, that the enemy had sent out a trumpeter, with an officer, to demaud a suspension of arms, and on honourable terms to surrender the island. There was not a moment to he lost in saving an enemy com- pletely in our power, and I accordingly issued immediate orders for tile troops to halt. I am sorry that my situation prevented my communicating, agreeably to his Lordship's orders, with Mr. Farquhar, who was on board of his Majesty's ship Boadicea, upon the terms which Commodore Rowley and myself deemed proper to grant to a brave though van- quished enemy. I should have mentioned before, that on my landing at Grand Chaloupe, I had detached Ceptain Hanna, with two companies of his Majesty's 1st battalion 56th regi- ment, to La Possessime, the batteries of which place he took by assault in the most gallant manner. Thus, Sir, in a lew hours, has this rich, extensive, and valuable colony, been added to his gracious Majesty's do- minions, with a population of upwards of 100,000 souls, and with a loss mi our part comparatively trifling when the nature of the service is considered ; a return of which accompanies this dispatch, with a copy of the capitulation. The vvhoie of the set vice has been conducted So completely to my satisfaction, that where praise is the just claim of ail it may be considered invidious to select; however, the truly, military styleand rapidity of tbe movements of tbe Ist brigade, calls for my most unqualified thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Eraser, tbe officers and men under his command ; the same is equally due to Lieutenant Colonels Macleod and Campbell, and lin: troops uuder their oiders, who landed under the gieatest difficulties, opposed by the weather anil art almost mac. essible beach. My thanks are farther due to Lieute,. aut Colonel Macleod, for the gallant manner ill which he took possession of the batteries of St. Marie. To Lieut.- Colonel Drammoiid, commanding the 2d brigade, the service is much the 2d battalion 12th native infantry, from tbe time of his landing until the immediate service Was over. The judicious arrangements of Dr Harris, superintending surgeon, claims favourable notice ; as does also the Zealand attention of Mr. Surgeon Davies of the Bo nbay Establish- ment. The troops, without exception,- his Majesty's and the Hun. Coflijwny'S, the Royal Marines, and Seamen, conducted themselves with that courage and energy so trotfy character- istic of British soldiers. 1 have only to regret that the nature of the service was such as to preclude the possibility of equally employing all the troops, as I am well assured that, under any circumstance of service, their gallantry and go- id conduct Would be conspicuous. On the 9th, agreeably to his Lordship's iJiden, Sir. Far- quhar was sworn in Governor of this colony and its dependen- cies, at which ceremony Commodore Rowley and myself attended. 1 am fully satisfied tbat the mild an 1 conciliatory manners of Mr. Farquhar, added to the protection which British laws afford equally to all, w ill speedily have the effect of placing this island in the most flourishing condition, by shewing to the inhabitants the difference between a just go- vernment, and that tyranny and oppression from which they have been relieved.— Lieut.- Col. Campbell, with the fl ink brigade, was dispatched on the 10th tor St. Paul's, which place he immediately occupied, causing 1,500 of the enemy, composed of troops of the line, Garde Nationale, Creole Militia, &. c. to surrender their arms. I have deemed it pro- per, for the present, to divide the island into two districts, Noith- east, and South west, io order to facilitate the distri- bution of the trbops to the different out- posts ; and I have the satisfaction to say that tliose arrangements have been already effected, and lhat that part of the force intended td be em- ployed on the ulterior object of the expedition, is now m readiness to move at the shortest notice, Lieut. Col. Campbell, of his Majesty's 39,1 regiment, is tbe bearer of this dispatch j to whom, as an intelligent arid valuable officer, I beg leave to refer his Lordship for every particular, 1 have likewise thought it necessary to transmit a copy of this dispatch direct to England, for the iuformatiufi of his Majesty's Ministers, and have accordingly ordered ou that duty Copt. Parkinson, of his Majesty's 33d legimsiit, Deputy Adjutant General, an intelligent and experienced officer of 16 yeais' stand iug in the service, and to whoui, a* I have already stated in the body of my letter, I am mucli indebted.

The ordnance captured amounts to 145 pieces, with a large quantity of muskets, ammunition, & c. The Expedition which has achieved this important object, was lilted out at Madras. The force consisted of the 69th and 85th regiments, with detachments front the 12th, 33d, S9th,& c. with the 6th and 12th native: infantry, a company of artillery, pioneers, Sic. m iking in all a force of 2500 Europeans, and 2000 Natives. They were to l> e joined by 1 !> 0t) men at the Is'e of Rodeiiguez, and the whole was to proceed under the command of Colonel Keating. The Doris, Diomed, and Ceylon, men of war, convoyed the Expedition. The officers wilh the dispatches came home in eight weeks from the Cape. Bourbon is an Island in tne Indian Ocean, about 20 leagues long, anil 16 broad. There are many good roads for shipping, particularly on the north and south sides, aud, with the possession of the Isle of France, it afforded means to the French to greatly annoy our commerce with India.
