LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 16. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. DOWNING- STREET, NOV. 13. A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, was this day received from Lieutenant- General Sir G. Prevost, Bart, commanding his Majesty's Forces in North America, dated Head- Quarters, St. David's, Niagara Frontier, Aug. 25. MAJOR- General Proctor having given way to tlic clamour of our Indian Allies, to act of- fensively, moved forward on the 20th ultimo, with about 350 of the 41st regiment, and between 3 and 4000 Indians, and ou the 2d instant, attempted to carry, by assault, the block- houses and works at San- dusky, where tiie enemy had concentrated a consider- able force. The Indians, however, previously to the assault, withdrew themselves from out ofthe reach of the enemy's tire. The handlul ofhis Majesty's troops employed on this occasion, displayed the greatest bravery ; neatly the whole of them having reached the fort, and made every effort toenler it • but a galling and destructive fire being kept up by the enemy, within the block- houses and from behind the picketting, which com- pletely protected them, and which we had not the means to force, the Major- General thought it most prudent uot to continue longer so unavailing a con- test: he accordingly drew off the assailants, and te- ttimed to Sandv ieh, with the loss of 25 killed, as mans missing, andabont 40 wounded. Amongst the former are Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel Short!, and Lieut. J. G. Gordon, of the 4fst regiment. I am happy to be able to acquaint your Lordship, that it appears bj further accounts received from Major- General Proctor to the 23d inst. that the enemy had been disappointed in an attempt to create dis- trust and disaffection amongst our Indian Allies, by a deputation of Chiefs, sent by them for that purpose, and that in a talk, which took place between the Deputies from the American Indians and the Chiefs of our Indian warriors, the contempt with which General Harrison's proposals were received by the latter, aud the determination expressed by them of adhering to the cause of their Great Father in Eng- land, appeared sensibly to affect the Deputies, and affords strong grounds to believe that the nations whom they represented will not be induced to take up arms against us, or their Indian brethren acting with us. On my arrival at this frontier, I found J, 000 Bri- tish soldiers, on an extended line, cooping up in Fort Geotge an American force exceeding 4,000 men: feeling desirous of ascertaining in person the extent of the enemy's works, and ot viewing the means he possessed for defending the position he occupied, I ordered a general demonstration to be made on Fort George, to commence by the attack and surprise of all the American nicqnets thrown out in its front. This service was executed to my entire satisfaction ; the picqncts were driven in, a great part of them bring taken, with « v, r> trifling loss, and I found my- etf i loJfc to the fort, and the new entrenched camp which is formed on the right of that work, both of them crowded with men, bristled with camion, and supported by the liie from Fort Niagara, on the op- posite side of the river ; but no provocation could in- duce the American army to leave their places ol shelter, aud venture into Ihe field. Having made a display of my force in vain, a deliberate retreat eu- sned without a casualty. Since 1 had t' o honour of addressing your Lordship on the 1st instant, every possible exertion has been made by Commodore Sir James Yeo, but ill vain, to bring Ihe enemy's . squadron to a decisive action : re- peatedly has he offered them battlv, ami as repeatedly have they declined it, which their great superiority in sailing, together with the light and baffling winds prevailing on the Lake at this season, has enabled them hitherto effectually to do. He, however, was fortunate enough, on the night of the 10th instant, to get so close in with the enemy, as to rentier an ar- tiou inevitable, unless they chose to sacrifice two of their schooners to avoid it; to this sacrifice they sub- , initted, and Sir James had the satisfaction, after a few shots had been fired, to take possession of two very fine solvooners, the one carrying one tong thirty- Two- pouuder and two long sixes, and the other one long thirty- two- pounder and one long twelve, with a complement of 40 men each. Having proceeded to York for the put pose of refitting his prizes, he sailed from thence with them in pursuit of the enemy on the 13th instant, and having followed down the Lake on the 17th, again saw them on the 18th, but was unable to come up wilh them. On the night preceding tbat of the capture of the above vessels, two of the enemy's largest schooners, carrying nine guns each, overset and sunk, in catrying sail to keep from our squadron, and excepting 16 persons, all on board perished, in number about 100. Sir James Yeo has been into Kingston with his squadron, to take in provisions and refit, anil since sailing has cruized off York and Niagara, but has not seen any thing further of the enemy's fleet. I understand that Commodore Chaulirey, with his squadron, after the loss of his schooner in Ihe night of the 10th, returned to Sackett's Harbour, from which place he sailed suddenly on the 14th, and again return- ed to it on the 18th, pursued by our fleet. I have not yet been able correctly to ascertain whether he has since left it. DOVVNING- STREET, NOVE. tlUER 13. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, iu the name and on the In halt of his Majesty, to appoint Lieutenant- General Lord Charles Henry Somerset, to be Governor and Commander- in- Chief of the Settlement of the Cape of Good Hope.

[ The Gazette also contains an Order in Council, continuing for another year the bounties to seamen.] A report of the fall of Bayonne is in circulation. Yesterday Lisbon papers to the 31st ult. brought by the Prince Ernest packet, were received.— Ac- counts had reached Tarragona on the 3d nit. stating, that the provinces oflstria and Croatia have risen en masse against tiie French, and that Fiume and almost nil the other ports upon that coast had declared for Austria. A French ship, a frigate, and brigantine, were taken in the port of Lissa, and it was expected that the shipping in Vfcnice and/ Triest would soon share a similar fate. This account is probably exag- gerated, but we may confidently anticipate that the statement will be finally and fully confirmed by facts. Of all the countries and places which have been most galled and oppressed by the French yoke, and must be of course most eager to shake it off, are those co- lonies and cities which lived by commerce. Gsnerat Nngent is said to have obtained a victory over the French near Triest. It is reported, on the authority of letters from the French coast, that Bonaparte returned to Pal is on the 9th. It is said, that immediately on his arrival he caused the bankers of the capital to be assembled, and intimated to them his determination to resort to very strong measures, if they tlid not consent by a voluntary loan to replenish his exhausted coffers. A letter from Paris speaks of several Marshals hav- ing resigned their commands in the army, Iu Holland a report has been circulated that the Crown Prince, with a formidable army, is iu full march to their relief.— We believe, and perhaps it is allowable to say we hope, this report is premature. As Englishmen we are jealous that any other power ill mi England should have the honour of restoring Holland to its independence. The yonng Prince of Orange has already distinguished himself in the mili- tary service of this country, arid, unoer the auspices of the immortal Wellington has contributed to rescue an oppressed country from the grasp of the Tyrant.— Ministers, it is confidently asserted, have it in con- templation to send this illustrious youth to the coun- try ofhis ancestor, supported by a large force, uaval and military, and with many thousand stand of arms for the brave Hollanders, who are ready to flock to the Standard of liberty. What i « , perhaps, the most important of all the circumstances connected with the intended expedition is, the choice of an experi- enced General to command it, and this choice is said to have fallen on Sir T. Picton. We have reason to believe that this gallant officer was at first intended to have been appointed to the army in Catalonia, but important considerations may have induced a change in his destination. An order has been received at Portsmouth to select the whole of the Dutchmen and other natives of the northern parts of the late " Great Empire," from among the prisoners at that port, for the purpose of sending them home to assist in the emancipation of their country. It has been said that two more French frigates, in addition to the Weser and Trave, recently captured, had put to sea. Intelligence received on Saturday encourages a hope that they have already experienced a similar fate. The North Star, arrived at Liverpool from Lisbon, fell in with two French frigates on Fri- day the 5th, one of which took her in tow until Sun- day morning, when she was sent adrift, upon an Eng- lish 74 gun ship and a frigate making their appearance. The Voluntaire arrived on Thursday at Portsmouth from the north of Spain; in her passage, fell in with the Rippon, 74, Sir C. Cole, who had been for three days unsuccessfully chasing two Flench frigates ; she afterwards fell in with the Belle Ponle, 36 guns, Capt. G. Harris, who had been chased off the land by two French frigates, and were then not far from him. The Voluntaire sailed fiom St. Sebastian's on the 6th. The Rippon was probably one of the British vessels seen on the 7th by the North Star. The Cydnns is arrived at Portsmouth from Pas- sages, with French prisoners, part of the garrison of Pamplona. The Cydnns also was chased by two French frigates, which continued the pursuit till they were close in with Sciily. On the 6th instant Lord Wellington's artnyhad not advanced, in conseqnence of the reduction of Pam- plona, the prisoners of which garrison were embarking for England. Il was understood that onr army would, » » soon as possible, take possession of St. Jean de Luz, at present occupied by the French, and which was lo be our bead- quarters; his Lordship was unable to advance, from an incessant and heavy fall of snow, which had in many places covered his artillery. After the army had safely entrenched themselves for the winter, his Lordship, witii two divisious, would move to the Southward aud Eastward, and if their inarch was made with celerity, it was hoped the French army in Catalonia would be unable to escape to France.— St. Jean de Luz is about ten miles south ot Bnyonne. On Ihe 31 ult. the Spanish Secretary at War deli- vered into the Cortes a statement of the amount of the military force of Spain:—" The infantry amount- ed to 145,440; the cavalry composed 28 regiments, containing 18,000 men, and 15,0u0 horses; there were nx squadrons, mid six battalions of artillery, be- sidts six battalions of engineers and artificers; The volunteers, including the infantry and artillery of Cadiz, amounted to 10,000 men. In the last year clothing had arrived from England for 100,000 infan- try, and in the present year for 3000 cavalry. A want j ot ile jtng and . shoes yva* now beginning to be ex- perienced. There were also seven military schools, with 1500 pupils. The marine was in a very bad state, and ill the greatest want of every tiling. It comprised 245 vessels of all descriptions. By a report of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, it appears that oiuGovernmeut had offered to arm and clothe 100,000 Spaniards. The Regency had transmitted to the Cortes a proposal for a loan of 10,000, OOOdollars from this country." Argastolia, in the Island of Cephalouia, has been declared a free port, so that the landing of merehan- dize for exportation, and the transfer of it from ship to ship, is now permitted, at an ad Valorem duty of one and a half per rent. The deficit in the French revenue iri 1811, was 23,000,000 f.; in 1312, 37,500,000 f. That ofthe present year will, it is supposed, tall little short of 140,000,000 f. in consequence of the stoppage. ot the licence trade. The Con'ractors for the last Loan had an interview yesterday morning with the Chancellor of the Exche- quer, iu which they declared their acquiescence in the terms for the New Loan. Shortly after the cir- cumstance was known in the City, Omnium experi- enced the considerable rise of 3' j. Lord Tlmrlow's marriage with Miss Bolton took place ou Saturday last, at St. Martin's church. Im- mediately after the ceremony the happy pair drove off to his Lordship's seat in Sussex, to spend the honey- moou. The Marquis of Huntly is about to lead to the Hymeneal Altar the beautiful and accomplished Miss Brodie. We understand that a matrimonial alliance is about to take place between Ibe Hon. Mr. Law, son of Lord Ellenborotigh, and Lady Octavia Stewart, sis- ter to Lord Castlereagli. The Duke of Devonshire presented to the daugh- ter of Lord John Townshend, on the day of tier marriage to Captain Clifford, a set of jewels ofthe value of 12,0001. and a cheque on his banker for a si- milar sum. We are sorry to announce the loss of the Bold sloop of war, Capt. Skekel, on the 27th of Septem- ber. She was driven on shore jn a stormy N. E. gate, near the North Cape of Prince Edward's Island ; the officers and crew, to the number of 67, were with much difficulty saved; they arrived at Ha- lifax iu the Agnes transport. , By the Leeward Island Mai! we have received An- tigua, Dominica, aud St. Vincent's Journals, to the 20tli of September. We regret to state that they contain accounts of another dreadful storm having been experienced at Dominica, Guadalonpe, Bermu- da, and St. Kitts, which has occasioned a great loss among the shipping, and every other kiud of pro- perty. According to accounts received by the last fleet from India, the Company's establishment at Prince, of Wales' Island was immediately to be broken up, and the Governor and Members of the Council and other chief members of the administration, are to be transferred to the. Company's service elsewhere. rite visit ' of the celcbt,< ;:- i M « ln » ita chieftain, Dirnlui Rao Scindea, to the Company's territories, bos occasioned milch conversation ill India. It was the first of the kind, and was considered to evince great confidence iu the British Government. The objcct of this visit was purely religious— to bathe in the river Ganges, on the occasion of the solar eclipse oil the 1st of February Inst. He set out from Gwa- lior on the 22d of January, accompanied by his eon- sort, by the officers of liis Court, and eight thousand of the Mahratta trotips. Pursuant to orders, the most marked attention was paid by the functionaries of the English Government stationed on his route. The cavalcade reached Etawali on the 27th of Janu- ary ; and on the 1st of February, arrived at the bathing- place at Singrampoor, on the Ganges, where he was received by an honorary escort. The crowd of pilgrims assembled at Singrampoor, on this occa- sion amounted to 25,000 men. The ghauts and banks of the river were absolutely covered with people while the eclipse lasted ; and from that day to the 10th, Scindea bathed twice daily in the river. Both himself and his consort expended very large sums in charity. According to custom, they were weighed against a heap of gold and jewels, & c. which were distributed among the attending Brahmins. Scindea is reported to have been impressed with strong feel- ings of surprise at the fine aspect of cultivation which pervades our provinces, and at the compara- tively happy state of the people. Wolves of a new species have recently been killed in the French departments bordering on the Pyrenees. They are distinguished by their large size, extreme ferocity, aud particular taste, which leads them to attack men, women, and children, in preference to the brute creation. Leipsig has another honour added to the many which it has long possessed in the Literary World.— It is known on the Continent as the Athens of Saxony, aud we trust will be longer known as the scite on which the deliverance of Europe was founded. In a revisal of the new French Calendar, Bona- parte, who may have power enough for such a De- cree, ought certainly to expunge the month of Octo- ber, with all its accursed ' plumose and nivose, which ha3 scarce left a nose oil his face I Macdonald, who escaped hy swimming across the Saale, performed a similar feat at the battle of Tre- bta, iu Italy, in 1799. Bonaparte left Leipsig, he says, from a scalrity of halls, and yet the Allies treated linn with a grand rout ! The Tyrant of France, Ciougtr never remarkable for ecclesiastic knowledge, has of late been compelled to understand Ihe fall effect of the cannon law. All that is known, witti any certainty, respecting the children who are said to have recently joined, but not reinforced Marshal Soult, ( who, on this occasion, might have exclaimed with the Irishman, " that lie had gained a loss,") is, that they have no claim to the title of babes of grace. The late disasters of the French army, and the sub- sequent flight of its remnant, remind us of the remark of Gam, at the battle of Aginconrt. " There were enough to be killed, enough to be taken prisoners, and enough to run away." The Corsican poobably took the idea of preparing colours and shooting bails through them, from his re- nowned prccusor, Don Quixote, who disfigured his own shield in the forest of La Maucha, to testify the dangers he had encountered. At the Dublin Sessions, on the 4tli inst. Arthur Co- liolly and Miles Kelly were found guilty of having, in company with several other persons, assaulted and vio- lently beaten, to the imminent danger of his life, Rich- ard Couohtnan, an Englishman, who was a fellow journeyman with the prisoners, in the employment of Messrs. Hutton, coach makers. They were sentenc- ed to be imprisoned two years, aud during that period to stand thrice in the pillory. CAPTAIN ROGUE.— The following particulars of the fall of this gallant British Officer, in the glorious battle of Leipsig, cannot but be interesting to the public ; it is an extract of a private letter:—" I had the opportunity, although but for a few minutes, of seeing Mr. James; he was with Capt. Bogne during the action, at his side at the moment of his full, in consequence of a rifle hall which struck his face, pe- netrating to tile back of his head, and his death was nearly instantaneous. Mr. James states the extraor- dinary and successful effect of the rockets, as well as the glory acquired by Captain Bogne, from his gallantry and judicious use of them, as infinitely stir- passing what has hitherto appeared in the dispatches. The Rocket Brigade was attached to the Crown Prince's Body Guard, but iri previous understanding that in days of action it might, at the direction and judgment of its commanding officer, be indepen- dently employed. Ou the memorable 18tll, Captain Kogne zealously seeing an opportunity of being use- ful against a large body of fit e French i nfatitry bat- talions, occupying the village of Potinsdorf, gallant- ly solicited of General Winzingerode tu go to the at- tack, where complete success crowned the operation, aud Captain Hogtie lived to reap the honour of re- ceiving the surrender of the whole five battalions him- self, at the head of his own little force ; it was iu the attack of another post, similarly occupied by the French in great force, that our lamented and gallant friend received the fatal shot, amidst the lamentations of the army, and the acknwledgments that his ser- vices on that great day, had been eminently condu- cive to it- success." ANECDOTE OF THE PRINCE OF ORANGE.— In the actions which took place on the invasion of France, the enemy werefonnd strongly posted on two command- ing hills. J. ord Wellington, alter viewing them, and giving orders for the performance of various ser- vices, said in the midst of his Staff ( as it thinking aloud,) " I wish I knew what was behind these hill- 1" Upon this the brave Prince of Orange put spurs to his • charger, arid galloped through bet. veeu these positions bristled w ith French cannon. Having exe- cuted his gallant purpose, he returned by the same route, and riding up to his Commander said, " My Lord, there are none ofthe enemy behind the hills."— All that our Wellington said was, " Thank ye, Prim e of Orange I" but this act of devoted heroism not only excited the admiration of the whole army, but in a pre eminent degree that of a General who can so well appreciate the valour and promptitude which consider no obstacles too dangerous when the w ishes of a great Leader even hint at a possible service.— This is a Prinee to rule over a free and biave people!— Can tliev submit to the vile representative of a vile Usurper, ANECDOTE OF BONAPARTE.— The following ac- count of a conversation between Napoleon aud Dr. Erhard, rector of the University of Leipsie, has been published in the German Gazettes :—" I had imagiti eil ( says the Dr.) that Napoleon, surrounded by his Generals, would give ns a cold reception, and after a few words, would dismiss us: I was much mistaken - mongn apprised by - eiiic iuro Xm » mm, ih , t l... bated compliments, I had however prepaie- j some- thing flattering by way of address. Conducted by an adjutant, we entered his chamber where lie was alone. He approached us with a tranquil air, and informed himself who we were : the manner in which he asked this question instantly dissipated onr fears of a humi- liating treatment. On presenting to him M. Praise, professor extraordinary of mathematics at Leipsie, I < added that he was one of the best pupils of Professor Kindeburg. Tlie Emperor immediately entered upon the nature and advantages of Kindeburg's mode of calculation, and appeared much pleased with the manner in which M. Prasse spoke of it, and fhe free- dom with which he answered some of his objections. His Majesty then addressing himself to me, observed, that our University enjoyed the honour of having pro- duced the immortal Leibnitz, of whom he spoke with a warmth which shewed that he placed him above Newton. He proceeded, ' Does Kant's Philosophy reign also at yonr University ?' " Sire ( I replied) we have never granted an exclusive privilege to any sect of philosophy." ' But Kant is already out of fashion ; who is predominant at present?' " He has had seve- ral successors who have tried to supplant him; and perhaps the newest system, or the newest phraseolo- gy, is on the point of falling. As to us, we conceive that it is onr duty to form young men for the service of humanity and the state, rather than to make them dreamers and simpletons. A sublime mind rises to speculation of itself, and not by poring over tiie sys- tems of professors who wish to make themselves re- markable. AU onr efforts are directed against the tyranny of the sectarian spirit." ' In this yon are very right ( replied the Emperor) and I am of the same opinion.' " He then spoke of Gall, and made some very just and acute remarks oil bis system." ' I question ( said he) whether Nature in her works, operates so rudely that Gall can be able to penetrate her intentions. I have not been satisfied with his ex- planations relative to the motion of the brain. I es- teem the spirit of observation, but I am no friend to ambulatory courses of lectures, which are incompati- ble with the dignity of science.' The Emperor then askedme particulars concerning the foundation of our University. He praised the Elector for converting monasteries into scientific, institutions; and warmly recommended to tis the care of such institutions, which often produce great men. He was astonished at the great number of the German Universities and the suiallnesss of their resources. ' I love ( said he) grand establishments, which at the same time are grand in their effects.' He highly extolled those of Paris, Bo lqgua, and Milan, where ( according to his expression) the Muses inhabit palaces, into which we enter with emotions of respect. ' Governments ( said he) ought publicly to testify their esteem for the sciences, in or- der to render them respectable to the people.'— When I observed that the number of students had been diminished during the war, he answered, ' They have been frightened, we must restore their confidence.'" MOST HEINOUS OFPENCE.— A diabolical attempt was made by some nefarious villain or villains, on Friday night, or Saturday morning, to destroy the Powder Mills of Messrs. Tinkler and Mountford, at Chilworth, Surrey, by putting several stories in and about the gudgeon of the water wheel of the coming- house; which, but for the timely discovery, would, in all human probability, have caused the des- truction, not only of the whole works, bKt of the Paper Mills and other buildings in tiie vicinity, by which a number of persons would have been thrown out of employ, to say nothing of fhe lives that might have fulleti a sacrifice. The proprietors have offered a reward of 5001. for the discovery of the vile per- petrators ; and we sincerely w; ish condign punish- incut may speedily overtake them. BLILSTOI. SHIP NEWS.

WHlTEWAtX., NOV. 16- HIS Royat Highness the Prince Regent has beeti pleased, in the name and on Ihe behalf of His Majesty, to order a rn « i>£ d'elire to pass the Great Seal ofthe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, empowering tire Dean and Chapter of the cathedral church of Peterborough to elect a Bishop of that see, void by the death of Doctor Spencer Madan, lale Bishop thereof; and his Royal Highness has also beeu pleased, by his Sign Manual, to re- commend to thesaid Dean and Chapter the Reverend John Parsons, Doctor in Divinity, Dean of Bristol, and Master of Ballio! College, Oxford, to be by them chosen Bishop of tliaf see. FRENCH PAPERS. Paris papers ofthe 121I1 inst. contain an account of Bonaparte's return to Saint Cloud, near Paris, on the 9th. He left Mentz at eight., o'clock in the morning on ihe 8th. Notwithstanding he has arrived as a 14 beaten General would arrive," he appears to have Veen anxious to bespeak a lit tie ecfa/.- lie was preceded by 20 colours, alleged lo have been taken in the bat- tles of Warlian, Leigsic, and Hanan, which arrived on the 7th, aud were to be presented on Sunday last to the Empress, to whom they were announced by the following epistle from her Emperor : " Madame, and very dear Wife— I send you 20 colours, taken by my armies in the battles ot'Wachau, Leipsic, and Hunan; it is an homage which Hove to render you: I desire that you may see in it a mark of ir> y great satisfaction with your conduct during the Regency which I confided to you." On the day after his arrival, Bonaparte held n Council of Finance, which was attended by the Mi- nister of manufactures and commerce; and afterwards a Coiin'cil of Ministers.— If we can believe the pri- vate accounts, Bonaparte intends to seize upon the funds of all the orphans, minors, and lunatics in his cmpirft, giving them something like a note of hand for their money. This will yield him from 30 to 50 millions of francs. It is also said to be in contempla- tion to postpone for the present the payment of the salaries of the Clergy, Judges, Pensions, and Civil List, and also to defer the payment of the dividends on the national debt. The Senate had met on the 9th, for the purpose of prolonging the Regtncy of the Empress during the expected absence of Bonaparte with the army. The Legislative Body is convoked for 2d December. The Paris papers contain the subjoined bulletins, detailing the situations of the army ou Nov. Sand 7 : " Nov. 3d—' The Duke of Tarentom was at Co- logne, where he was organisms: an army for the tie- fence of the Lower Rhine.— The Duke of Ragusa was at Mentz.— The Duke of Belluno was at Stras- btirg.— The Duke of Valmy had gone to Mctz,* to take the command of all the re- erves.— Count Ber- tram!, with the 4th cotps, composed offour divisions of infantry and one of cavalry, in all 40,000 strong, occupied the right bank in front of Cassel: his head- qnaitrrs were at Hockheim. For four days an en- trenched < amp had been preparing on the heights, a league in advance of Cassel. Several works bad been maikcd out, and were iu considerable forwardness.— All the rest of the army had passed the Rhine.— Oil the 7th his Majesty hail signed the re- organisation of the army, anil had nominated to all the vacant situa- tions. The advance guard, commanded by Count Bertram!, had not yet seen any of the enemy's infan- try. but only some trpopnof light cavalry. All the strong places on the Rhine were arming, and being provisioned with the greatest activity. The newly- raised national guards were repairing iu every direc- tion to garrison ttie fortresses, thereby leaving tbe army disposable. - Gen. Delanloy was re organizing the 200 cannon ofthe guard.— Gen. Sorbier vt as em-' ployed in re- organizing an bundled horse and foot batteries, and in repairing the loss in horses which the artillery had suffered.— It was thought that his Majesty would not long d< lay his departure for Paris. " Nov. 7.- On the 30th of October, at the moment when the battle of Hman was fought, Gen. Lefebvre, at the. head of his division of cavalry, aud ofthe 5th corps of cavalry, commanded by Gen. Midland, flanked all the right of the army, on the side of Brtuk- liebtil and Nieder- Issinaheim. He found himself in presence of a corps of Russian and Allied cavalry ol from 6 to 7000 men; the combat commenced ; several charges, all to onr advantage, took place, and that enemy's colps, formed by the junction of two or three partizans, was broken aud briskly pursued. We took from it 150 mounted prisoners. Our loss consisted of about 60 wounded.— The day following the battle of Hanati, tlie enemy was iu full retreat: the Emperor did not wish to pursue hint, the army being fa'igned; and his Majesty tar from attaching any importance, could only liave seen v illi regret the destruction of 4 or 5000 Bavarians, which would have been the result of that pursuit. His Majesty therefore contented himself with causing the enemy's rear- guard to be • slightly pursued, and left Gen. Bertram! on the Kint- zig liver. About three o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy knowing that the army had filed off, retraced his steps, hoping to obtain some advantages ovei Gen. Beltrami's corps. The divisions Morand aud Gniile- niet allowed him to make his preparations for the pas- sage of the Kiutzig; and when he had passed it, marched npon him with fixed bayonets, and drove him uito the river, where the greater part of his peo- ple were drowned. Tiie enemy lost 3000 men in this affair. The Bavarian General Wrede, commander- in- chief of that army, has been mortally wounded; and it is remaikahle, tWat all the relations which lie liatl iu the army, perished ill the battle of Hanati; among others, his son in- law the Prince of Oettingen. A Bavarian and Austrian division entered Frank- fort ou the 30th, at noon : but upon the approach ot the scouts of the French army, it retired upon the left bank of the Meiu, after having destroyed the bridge.— On the 2d November, the French rear- guard evacuated Frankfort, and marched upon the Nidda. The same day, at five o'- lork in the morning, the Emperor entered Mayenee. - It is supposed among the people, that Gen. Wrede lias been the author and principal agent of tiie defection ot Bavaria. That General lud been loaded with favours by the Em- peror." * Metz is within the frontier of Old France. Thus after such a loss of biood, and so many years of out- rage and desolation, has Napoleon brought back the career ofthe revolutionists to its very outset, stripped apparently, aud we trust also really and effectually, of all means of going beyond those limits. Thy re- mains of the rezolat forces aie avowedly insufficient t-> garrison the fortresses and at thesame time to make head against the Allies iu the field : the garrison duty is therefore to be committed to the national guards re- cently levied ; aud these troops, we aie told, w ete pro- ceeditigon all sides to assume their charge. The accounts from Italy boast of fresh successes obtained by Eugene Beiillharoois, but they seem to have been of the same nature as Ills father- ill law's victories, for notwithstanding his pretended triumphs, we find he has fallen bark from the Isonzo to the piave : that the Austrian* have entered Ihe town of Bassano on the Brent,- i, and that consequently Ihe greater part of the Ex- Venetian territory is in the bands of the Allies. The French papers assert that the King of Saxony lias beeu sent prisoner to Berlin. Among the fugitives from Germany is that most contemptible creature Jerome Bonaparte. Some notice has at length been taken of the British army in France iu a lctiir from Bayoune. It is no loii ' er pretended, however, that any attempt will be made bv Satilt to re- enter Spain. All that is hoped fol- is, that Lord Wellington will not act on the offen- sive, or that if he do, the French will be able to save themselves by the entrenchments they have construct- ed. In this expectation it is probable the enemy will soon experience some disappointment. AU doubt respecting the fate of PoniatoAski ap- pears to be removed. It is stated that his body lias bceli found in ' lie Elster, and buried at Leipsic with military honours. It was yesteiday stated with considerable confi- dence, on the authority of private letters, Hint Bona- parte had brought back nothing but Cavalry to Mentz; the whole of the French infantry which escaped from Leipsic having laid down tlieir arms to the Allies in the vicinity of Frankfort. Letters have been received in town from the Hon. Col. Ponsonby, camtnatiditig the 12th dragoons, in Lord Wellington's army, dated from Andaye, m Fiance. The measure of ordering the cavalry to the front is one of the strongest indications of a design on the part of his Lordship to advance further into the French territory. We have this morning received Halifax Papers to the SOth lilt, brought by the Lady Wellington Packet, which made the passage iu the unusually short space of fourteen days. We regret to say, that the general aspect of this intelligence is unsatisfactory— the Ca- nadian Papers indulge in the most unfavourable and desponding tone of anticipation. The events which have occasioned this glooiu are the disasters on Like Erie ; the consequent evacuation of Maiden by Gen. Proctor, and his retreat, accompanied by oue thou- sand Indians, from before the force of the American Commander, Harrison; the capture and conveyance into Sacket's Harbour, of four of our boats with pro- visions, and two sloops with 261 men; the inderisive result of several running fights, in which Sir J, Yeo and Chauncey have been engaged, particularly on the 28th Sept. and 5tii October— and above all the threatening force with which the enemy menanee Canada in various points.— There is a report that Detroit had been burnt by the Indians Sir John Warren, lias, we understand, resigned, and is coining home. Sir A. Cochrane is his successor. The Moscow has arrived in 39 days from the Ha- vatmali, and brings the following intelligence :— On 15thSeptember the Americans were marching against the Spanish settlement of Pensacola, where there was no force competent to give any effectual resist- ance. The alleged ground of this hostility of the Republicans is, that the Spaniards had supplied the Creek Indians with arms and ammunition, aud that tiiese savages had murdered a great number of Ame- ricans. In proof of lliat connection it was asserted . that two American mails, which had been captured, had btcii forwarded by the Indians to the Governor of Pensacola. About 1000 American advtnturers, without any sanction from their government, had crossed Louisiana and had entered the territory of Mexico, where having joined the revolutionary party, they had obtained some important successes It. is also said that a detachment of about 250 of the Ame- ricans, supported no doubt bv the Insurgents, had defeated 1500 of the Royal tioops. In order to sub- due the spirit of the insurrection thus supported, a very powerful expedition was fitting out from the Havannah, ior which were collecting alt the recruits that could be procured throughout the Island of Cuba. A Spanish man of war hud arrived at the Havannah previous to the sailing of the Moscow. She brought 5,000,000 of dollar.-, 2,000,000 for the Colonial Government, 3.000,000 for Europe. By some mis- management she got a- gronnd on entering the liar- bom, and was detained to undergo repairs. We believe, that Ministers on Thursday last, re- ceived authentic information from the other side of the Channel, that in all the districts on the coast the new Conscription began to be carried into execution on the 8th inst. with perfect and entire facility. Not a shadow of opposition to it arising in the minds of the people from any idea of Ihe falling powei of the tyrant, but all the way from Paris to Boulogne the report was that the people submitted to it without a sign of tumult.— Morn. Chrtm. Sir Thomas Picton ( who has been confidently named as commander of the intended expedition to Holland) returns to the Peninsula, and is to have the command of the CaUlonian army. Ministers having failed in their efforts to obtain the sanction of the East- India Directors to the appoint- ment of Mr. Thomas Wallace lo the government of Fort St. George, have signified their intention to withdraw the name of that gentleman. The utmost of their success on a second personal canvas, w as the gaining over nine members out ol 24. Lord Lowther is to be the new Lord of the Trea- sury in the room of Mr. Rooiuson. He i » to stand for Westmoiland, an 1 Mr. Wallace, as the Eaijt India Directors w ill not have him, is to be brought in for Cockermoulh. The Morgiana packet, which sailed from Falmouth for Surinam, was taken on the 26th September, off the banks ot that place, by the Ameiiran privateer Sara- toga, of 22 gnus an I 200 men, after a very gallant ai tion of one hour and fi< e minutes, wiiliin pistol- shot, in which tliey were repulsed twice in attempting to board, but were unfortunately carried the third. Captain Cunningham, the Master, Mr. Dunstan, and eight men, were wounded, and two killed. The Ame- ricans lost their First Lieutenant and two men killed, and several severely wounded. The Morgiana mount- ed 18 guns, 9- pouudei's, and ban 40 men, officers in- clude!. Though taken by boarding, tbe mad was sunk after the packet struck. Lieutenants R. Williams and H. Meynell are pro- moted to the rank of Commander; and Messrs. W. T. Dance, W. J. Palmer, T. Pearce, and J. Barnes, to Ihe rank of Lieutenant.— Captain Ball is appointed to command the depot lor prisoners of war at Dait- moor, vice Congrave; Lieutenant Thomson, to com- mand the Mullet; Lieutenant Bostock, to command the Neptune. We it am, with much regret, that the brave aud unfortunate Captaiu Barclay, who commanded the Biitish flotilla in the late action on Lake Erie, was deprived of the only arm which his previous wounds in the service of his King and Country had left him. Dr. Javett, Professor of Civil Law in the Uni- versity of Cambndge, fell down, and died almost in- stantly, on Saturday last. The Duke of Kent was on Monday unanimously elected Grand Master of the Ancient Masons ot Eng- land, on the resignation of the Duke of Athol. At a meeting of the Irish Bur, held at the Four Courts, Dunlin, on 5th inst. it was resolved to erect a monument to the memory of Ihe late Serjeant Ball. Monday a numerous meeting of the Freeholders of Surry was held at Epsom, for the nomination of a person to represent that county in Parliament in the room of Sir T. Sutton, dee. S. Thornton, Esq. aud Sir T. Turtou, were severally proposed ; and tin; shew of hands was in favour of tiie former. Sir T. Tnrton, however, demanded a poll, which will com- mence on Monday. Upwards of 3001. have been subscribed at Bombay, and remitted to Scotland, for the purpose of erect- ing a monument to perpetuate the memory aud the fame of Burns. About three weeks ago, a wooden barn, 30 feet in length by nearly 15, and of bciiht in proportion, be- longing to Dr. Willis, situated in Sbillingfborpe grounds, near Gretford, Lincolnshire, was moved, entire, ttie space of a quarter of a mile, by one horse and four men, iu less than two days. Tiie prisoners taken in the French frigates Weser and La Trave, immediately on their arrival at Ply- mouth, manifested an inclination to be enlisted into the German Legion; and those who were not seamen have been ordered to be received accordingly. The following Gentlemen have contracted for the new Loan of 22 millions:— Messrs. Barnes, Steers, and Rieaido; Messrs. Baring, J. J. Angerstein, and G. Ward; Biirvvis, Ellis, and Co.; and Trower and Battye ; the Contractors for the last. Terms:— 1101. Reduced 3 per Cents. 671. 3 per Cent Consols, for every tool, sterl. subscribed.— The Dividend upon the 3 per Cent Consols to commence from July, and upon the Reduced 3 per Cents, from October last; and the first half yearly payments becoming due July 5 and October 10, to be exempted from the Property Duty.— Discount after the rate of 5 percent, per annum, for payments made in full. Exchequer Bills, dated between the 1st of December, 1812, and the 12th of November, 1813, to be accepted in payment for half the amtfthu of the instalments, at the rate of 1001. 5vfor every 1001. Exchequer Bills.— It is rather singular, that the biddings exactly agreed with the terms in the sealed piper deposited in the Bank.— Omnium was immediately at 3£. The Loan, though nominally' for 22, adds only 11 millions to tiie public debt: for the paying one moiety of the instalments in Exchequer Bills, supersedes the payment of that precise sum in cash, and con- sequently the amount of money to be raised for imme- diate use does not reach what was generally expect- ed, 12 or 13 millions. A new 74, called La Couronne, was launched at Amsterdam on ttie 26th lilt. Monday a Court- Martial was held on board the Gladiator, at Portsmouth, to try Joseph Warbiu ton, alias James Parker, formerly of his Majesty's ship / Enlns, for having, with five others, rose against Mr. Anthony Reed, when on board an American prize- brig, giving her. up to the American master, and as- sisting to navigate her into Salem, He was after- wards recognised amongst the wounded ofthe Ame- rican frigate Chesapeake. The Court were of opi- nion that the charges were proved, aud adjudged him to suffer death. On Monday a system of forgery, to an alarming extent, was developed at Bow- street office, in which the principal persons hitherto detected were William Atkinson and Mary liis wife, who lodged at No. 21, Hand- street, St. George's in the East. The whole was discovered by means of one Emblin, who had agreed to purchase of Atkinson 15 one pound notes on the Colchester Bank of Messrs Crickett and Round, for 101.; the latter pretending they were good, but stolen. The bargain w as accordingly carried into effect at a public- house near Wellelo. se square, when the police officers were called iu, and Atkinson and his wife secured. Ou the person of the wife were found 16- 1 forged notes of the above description, and at their lodgings were found the corresponding plates aud apparatus for forgery. There were also found a plate for bills drawn at Rio Janeiro, ou a banking- house in London, besides , a plate for 4ii. stamps. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. In the House ot Lords a very interesting convei- siition took place on Monday night, upon the subject ofthe Insolvent Debtors Bill, in consequence of a petition being* presented by Lord Holland from the debtors iu the Fleet prison praying relief. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Etlenhorough, aud Lord Sidmonth replied to Lord Holland, and pointed out the diffi- culty it not impracticability, of carrying the Bill into effect in its present shape; and another tempo- rary Insolvent Act, was mentioned as a substitute, until the necessary alterations could be made in the prior Art.— Lord Holland objected to this propo- sal, on the ground of i'. s. being likely to delay the final arrangement ol the new bill; and nothing de- cisive took place. Iu the House of Commons, on Monday, various sums were voted for the Civil List, French Emi- grants, &< i. for 1814.— The Chancellor of the Ex- chequer also s'ated the terms on which the loan bad been contracted for. He observed, that tbe general state of the revenue was better than it had been last year, and that the receipts of the quar- ter had exceeded fey 1,900,0001. the amount of the receipts of the corresponding quarter in the last year— In a Committee on the Militia Volunteering Bill, the number permitted to volunteer was limited to 30,000; and the bounty for limited service was fixed at 8 instead of 10 guineas.

IVE Gottenbnrgh, and as many Heligoland mails' are now due, but none have as yet arrived. The A rit l sloop of war has in the mean time arrived at Yarmouth from Gottenburgh, with the Gentlemen on board who conveyed to the Continent ihe decora- tions of the Older of the Garter for the Emperor Alexander; but tliey have had a tedinns passage, and we do not learn that tliey have brought any recent intelligence. There are several rumours in circulation One, that by a boat from our fleet off the Texel, information had been obtained of the separation of the forces of tlie Danes from the army under Davoust, aud of the de- feat of that army, so diminished, by the division coin- manded hy Count Walmoden. Another report repeats a previous one, that General St. Cyr had gone over. A third that Bonaparte had set off for Holland, whtre bis guards aud garrisons were said to amount to 60,000 men.— There is enough for him to do in Paris, before he ventures to return Northward. A fourth report is, that the Allies had on the 29th nit. their head- quarters at Saxe- Meinnngen, and the light cavalry pushed for- ward in advance, so as almost to overtake the French army, which had consequently been obliged to aban- don great part of its equipage. Sunday onr squadron on the Cherbourg station hoisted the flags of all the Northern Powers with the French flag nnder them, and fired a grand salute. The French had actually formed a plan to blowup and destroy Paniplnna, which, coming to the know ledge of some of the most respectable inhabitants, they found means to inform Don Carlos D'Espana, the besieging General, of the design, who thought it neces- sary to send an immediate flag of truce to the Gover- nor, assuring him that such a proceeding would, in case of a blockade, be considered unjustifiable and con- trary to the usage of war; and if the destructive de- termination was adhered to, he had received the most positive ordeis from the English General ( and which it was his duty to obey) to put the whole garrison, with- out exception, to the sword. The sequel is well known to the public. We understand that Addresses of Thanks in diffe. rent parts of the. Kingdom have been determined on, to be presented to the Speaker, for his sound, consti- tutional, and patriotic Speech on the Catholic Questi- on during the last Session of Parliment. Major General Andrew Hay has got a regiment, as a reward for liis services. It is a new corps, to be made up from the dep& t in the Isle of Wight, and to serve abroad under the name of the York Rangers. There are above 600 men already at this depot. Major General Kempt has also got a battalion, to be added to the 60th Regiment ol'Foot. The Spanish soldiers lately arrived from the Baltic in almost a state of nakedness, amounting in number to about 2000 men, have been clothed at Portsmouth, and are now ready to sail, tbe first fair wind, to join Lord Wellington. Monthly the remains of the 5th Regiment of Foot marched through London, on their rout toChelnisfiii d, the appearance of the regiment bore evident marks of the service they have, seen, the colours being nearly rags from shot holes. The Tragedy of Anthony and Cleopatra was per- formed the second time last night at Covent Garden Theatre, and lost, in the repetition, no part of the in- terest and attraction that attended its production on Tuesday night. PARLIAMENT. The HOUSE of COMMONS, last night, on the motion of LORD CASTLEREAGH, resolved itself into a Com- mittee on the Foreign Treaties, when the Subsidies to Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Sweden, were voted without any opposition. His Lordship, in a clear and most eloquent speech, laid before the House a cheer- ing view of the present state of affairs on the Conti- nent, and warmly eulogized the conduct of the Crown Prince, of Prussia, of Russia, and of Austria. He further stated that the late Armistice was more useful lo the Allies than to Bonaparte, inasmuch as it enabled Prussia alone to raise 70 new battalions, 50 of which were amongst the troops that fought and conquered n ' der Blucher.— We lament that our limits do not al- low us to give more than the conclusion of his Lord- ship's explicit and comprehensive speech;— All war, his Lordship continued, was for peace; and the true and just end of success could only be a satisfactory peace. This principle had invariably actuated the conduct of bis Majesty's Government. Although they bad at first refused the proffered mediation of Austria, yet aft- u wards it was accepted by them; and in the mouth of August last, when the evasions ofthe enemy rendered the Congress at Prague nugatory, the Em- peror of Russia was in possession of England's consent to accept the mediation of Austria. This too was done after the battle of Vittoria, so that success could not be said to have created an undue spirit of ambition. It was done, because Austria had assumed a more in- dependent posture. She no longer acted as the auxi- liary of France, lint appeared as an armed mediator. It was done too, because a change had taken place in the enemy's tone, and be had so far relaxed bis claims, as to make Spam an object of discussion. His Lord- ship therefore hoped that the House would see Minis- ters had neglected no opportunity of endeavouring to obtain peace on fair and equitable terms. But they thought it their duty to discourage all idle discussions. Togo to Congress without a clear and established basis, would have been to do nothing, but to kill every hope of peace, to delude mankind; and to strengthen the enemy, and encourage his subjects to support him m the contest, msiead of making their dissatisfaction prove au additional impediment to the progress of his ambi- tions views. He should not say more now upon the subject; however, he would not lead the House or the the couutry to expect that the provision for tbe next year should lie less considerable than for the present. The whole of thesuhsidies required to enable tlie pre- sent coniest to be effectually carried On, would there- fore be ' 0,400,0001. For Spain <£ 2.000,000 For Portugal 2,000,000 For Sicily 400,000 For Russia and Prussia. 2,500,000 For Future Application 2,500,0( H) For Austria 1,000,000 Or, 4,400,0001. for the Peninsula and Sicily ; and 6,000, pool, for the service of the interests of Europe. If called by the House to vote at present the second sum of two millions and a half for a specific purpose, it would engender some unnecessary difficulty, as it would then only be issuable to Ihe persons thus men- tioned, and not to Austria or any Power by whom it might be wanted. He should, therefore, vote that branch of the provision to a general arcount; and should conclude by moving that three millions lievoled to his Majesty to enable him to fulfill his engagements with other Powers. His Lordshjp followed up this motion by another to authorize him to bring in a bill to lega- lize the issue ot tiiat part of paper currency for the use of the Allied Powers, which was to be guaranteed by Great Britain, which were severally agreed to. Mr. BATHURST brought tip his Bill for suspending the prosecutions against certain clerical persons; it was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time to- morrow. The Disposable Force Bill went through the Com- mittee, and was ordered to be reported to- morrow, till which day Mr. Whitbread postponed his intended amendment. The 22 Million LoanBill, aud the Bill to provide for the charge of the public debt thereby incurred, were brought up, and read a first time. KING'S HEAD INN, GLOUCESTER, NOVEMBER 10, 1813.

We feel great pleasure in seeing our gallant country- man, Lieut.- Col. Cottier, of tbe 71st regiment, so well recovered from the wounds he received at the battle of Vittoria, and in stating that a Subscription has been some time since entered into for the purpose of presenting him with aSworil— a compliment deserv- edly due to his bravery on so many occasions, parti- cularly at the taking of the bridge of Alinarcz and Fort Napoleon on the Tagus. for which service he re- ceived the thanks of Licut.- Gen. Sir Rowland Hill, Bart, and was immediately promoted to his present rank. We understand a Dinner, for the purpose of presenting the Sword, will be given him by the Sub- scribers, at the Bell Inn, in this city, on Tuesday, the 3' th inst. which we have no doubt will be largely at- tended, many of his friends having already entered their names at tbe bar, as well as the Subscribers in general. Church Missionary Society.— It gives us great plea- sure to observe witti what rapidity this Society is gain- ing the attention of the Members of tlie Established Church. The Rev. Basil Woodd has met with the most encouraging success in pleading the cause of the Society iu Yorkshire, and Northamptonshire ; as have the Rev. Edward Burn and the Rev. William Goode, in Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire ; and the Rev. J. II. Stewart in Sussex and Hampshire. The Secretary, with the Rev. Melville Home and the Rev. Daniel Wilson, accepted an invitation from some zea- lous friends of the Society at Norwich, where an As- sociation for Norfolk and Norwich has accordingly been formed, of which the Bishop of Norwich is Pre- sident, and nearly ,£' 1000 is already contributed. Si- milar Associations have been recently formed at Bris- tol, ( where about £ 2000 were contributed at its form- ation,) Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Bradford, and many other places. On Wednesday last, iu our Market, a quantity of butter, short of weight, was seized by order of the Mayoi, and given to the Poor. We insert this as a caution to people frequenting this city with articles of food for sale; and at the same time we are authorised to say, that it is the determination of the Magistracy strictly to enforce tire law against fa tare offenders, who, in addition to the loss they must sustain by the seizure of their goods, . are liable, in a prosecution, to fine and imprisonment, at tiie discretion of the Court. Royal Regiment of Artillery.— Second Lieutenant Henry Hough, to be First Lieutenant, vice Davis, promoted. Somerset Auxiliary Bible Society.— A branch of this beneficent institution was formed in the city of Wells, at a meeting held on Tuesday the 2d iiist. at which Maurice Davies, jun. Esq. by whom, as Mayor, the meeting had been convened, was called to the chair. The Dean of Wells attended, and gave Ihe object of the meeting his most unqualified support. At the annual meeting of the Merchant- venturers of Bristol, on Wednesday, the following gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year, viz. Mr. Mark Harford, Master; Mr. Win. Danson, and Mr. P. Protheroe, Wardens; Messrs. W. P. Lttnell, T. Daniel, Jas. George, jnn. Benj. Bickley, John Bar- row, J. J. Whitchurch, John Thompson, Jos. Hellicar, Jas. M. Hillionse, and Robert Bush, Assistants; Mr. S. Whitchurch, Treasurer. John Taylor, Esq. of Birmingham, on account of the. la'e glorious news ( which has spread so bright a glow of exultation throughout the kingdom) sent last week, a donation of 1001. to the General Hospital; thus offering on the altar of public charity, a tribute of thanksgiving for the signal success with which the struggles of the Allies have been crowned in that great and righteous cause, tlie independence of Nations. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne are entertaining a large party of fashionables at their beau- tiful seat, Bowooil, near C due, Wilts. Tiie Cheltenham Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, with the exception of five members only, have acceded to the proposal contained in Lord Sidmouth's circular letter, for forming the detached corps into regiments, and performing twelve days permanent duty, annually. We understand tlie assignees under tbe commission issued against Mr. F. Oakley, of Hereford woolstapler & c. have succeeded in the cause so long pending against Messrs. Weston, Pinhorn, and Co.; this decisi- on will enable them in the course of a few months to declare a final dividend. A match at single- stick was played at Salisbury on Wednesday, which attracted a numerous body of spec- tators: the play, however, did not afford such a Ireat to the amateurs as had been anticipated. The prizes were easily won by the Somerset men. The meeting of the Agricultural Society for Radnor- shire, on Saturday se'unight at Prestetgn, was most numerously and respectably attended, and the snow of animals ( which was very fine) bore testimony to the improvement which has taken place in the stock of the county, the utility of the Society, and the bene- fits resulting from its establishment. The tallow- chandlers in Manchester, on hearing that illuminations where intended in that great town on account ofthe late victories, immediately raised the price of their candles a penny per lb. the inhabitants, in turn, resolved on having no illumination, and spent their money in merry meetings and jovial entertain- ments, Edward Hughes, coachman of the Lortdon, Shrews- bury, and Holyhead Ancient Briton Coach, was on Saturday last convicted in the full penalty of ten pounds, before the Mayor of Oswestry, lor drunken ness, and dismissed by his employers. There is now growing in a garden belonging to Mr. Wm. Biggs, near Hereford, a pear tree in full blossom, and many of the young fruit are set as fine as in May. The man servant of a gentleman at Leeds, and three ofhis acquaintances, have made a public acknowledg- ment ill the newspapers, to prevent a prosecution, the servant having, unknown to his employer, provided a supper, and entertained the others, privately, in his own room, by dishonest means. On Wednesday, James Goodwin was committed to our County Gaol by the Rev. H. A. Pye, charged with stealing froin the shop of Mr. John Padbnry, of Ci- rencester, watch maker, a silver watch, value <£ 3. the property of John Maisey, of Cirencesier. Committed to Stafford gaol, Thos. Forsyth, a bank- rupt, for having removed aud embezzled articles of property, witli intent to defraud his creditors. Last week a coroner's inquest was held at the Pen- rhyn Arms, near Bangor, Carnarvonshire, on the body of John Davis, ostler, of that Inn. It appeared in evidence, that lie had incautiously taken a quantity of corrosive sublimate infused in rum, which had been recommended to hiin, and purchased for liiin by J. M'Kenzie, a gentleman's servant, then at the Inn, to cure some inward complaint. Nothing transpired to shew that there was the smallest evil intention on the part of M'Kenzie; it rather appeared the deceased bad exceeded the quantity he was advised to take.— Ver- dict, Homicide by mischance. Melancholy Accident.— On Wednesday afternoon, in fhe absence of the family, who were gone to milk the cows, Mrs. Hopkins, of. Alderley, in this county, was taken in a fit, ( to which she was unhappily subject), fell on the kitchen fire, and, before any assistance could be rendered her, was so dreadfully burnt as to occasion Iter death. Mrs. H. was in her 31st year, and far advanced in pregnancy; and her husband, we understand, was iu Loudon at the time of tiiis lament- able occurrence. MONMOUTH, Nov. 18.— On Friday morning last, Wm. Glover, ( the wretched man under confinement here for the murder of his father and mother,) put an end to bis existence by cutting his throat.— In the ward in which he was confined were two other prison- ers, to whom the turnkey had delivered their break- fast, giving to one of thein a knife to divide it, with orders to return it to him when done with. This man, after having divided the food, sat down on a bench be- fore the fire to toast his cheese, putting the knife for security upon the bench under him, which Glover perceiving, he pushed liiui forcibly away, and seizing tbe knife, cut his throat. The other prisoner immedi- ately secured the hand which held the fatal instrument; upon this Glover, with great violence, tore the wound open with his other hand ; soon after which he became dreadfully convulsed, and died almost immediately. The Coronei's Jury sat on tbe body, and returned a verdict, felo de se; and lie was buried in a cross- road in the. neighbourhood.— It is said that previous to his confinement he thrice attempted to destroy himself. His master, who some time since visited him, gave hiin a character that would have done honour to a man in any station: ofhis mother he was particularly fond, and within the last year gave her and his father the livings of his whole life to establish them in a small pottery of coarse ware, and it w » s a dispute that arose between him and his father respecting the sale of a poney which he had given them, that occasioned the commission of the dreadful crime for which lie was confined. His behaviour since his commitment had been quiet anil orderly, bnt be seemed quite to despair of tiie forgiveness of God, nor could anything convince him that a crime so great as his could be pardoned; and this, it is supposed, drove him to the commission of suicide. ATTEMPT AT ROBRERY AND MURDER.— As Mr. Stanley, a respectable grocer and chandler, ofKcnil- wortli, was returning home from Warwick fair, on Monday evening las', he was stoppeil by three foot- pads between Guy's Cliff toll- gate and Wootton. One of the villains suddenly rushed from the side of the road, demanded his money, and threatened that if he did not instantly deliver it up he would blow bis brains out. Mr. Stanley, on observing that be held his pistol in the left band, immediately replied, " you dont mean thai!" and on tbe villain attempting to lay bold of the bridle, Mr. Stanley suddenly pulled up the reins, put spurs to his horse, andgallopped off. He had not proceeded many yards when a pistol was fired at him— a minute had scarcely elapsed before he heard a second, and a third soon followed, but with- out effect. Mr. Stanley's escape was extremely provi- dential, for he distinctly heard the contents of the two former pass by the side ofhis head. Upon Mr. Stanley's reaching Wootton, he collected a tew friends with whom he instantly returned in pursuit, and alter a tedious search found them at tbe Nag's Head pub- lic- house, ill Warwick. They were lodged in gaol the same uight, and have since been committed for trial at the next assizes.

THANKS TO M AJD R- GISNER AL GEORGE ANSON, AND LLEUT.- GENEITAL SIR THOMAS PICTON. The SPEAKER observing Major- Gen. Anson iu his place, addressed him to the followingeffect:— " Major General George Anson, the last time I had the honour of addressing you, you came before this house to receive our thanks, for your share in the glo- rious battle of Talavera. — Pursuing the same successful career, under the same illustrious Commander, it is more gratifying than surprising to us, to find that you have reaped additional laurels—( Hear, hear!)— The badge of honour which yoa wear for your services at Talavera, brings to- mind your decisive conduct at the passage of the Douro— and the destruction which the cavalry under your command poured oil the rear- guard of the enemy, on that memorable day—( Hear I) At Vittoria also, when with the left iving of the allied army, under the command of Lieut.- Gen. Sir T. Gra- ham, a name never to be mentioned in the annals of this country lint with sentiments of enthusiastic admi- istiou, your exertions contributed much to that, tri- umph ; you cut off the retieat of the enemy's legions into Fiance, and all Europe has heard of the skill and bravery which you then displayed—( Hear, hear!)— As one of the proudest rewards which can be confer- red on valour and ability, I do now, in the name and by the command of the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, deliver to you tlieir unanimous Thanks .- fir your achievements at the battle of Salamanca, ou the 18th of July, 18l' 2, when a decisive victory was obtained over the forces of the enemy ; and for your great exertions at the battle of Viltoria, on the 2Istof June last, where the enemy again sustained a signal defeat from the troops under the command ofthe Mar- quis of Wellington.—( Hear, hear!) Major- Gen. Anson expressed his sense of the high honour conferred upon him, and attributed the suc- cess ofhis efforts principally to the wise dispositions and powerful genius of the great Officer under whom lie acted. The SPEAKER then addressed Lieut.- General Sir Tlios. Pioton to the following effect : — " Lieutenant- General Sir Thomas Picton, yon have been long since enrolled among those skilffll aud brave Officers, by whom the military greatness of this coun- try lias been raised to its present eminence, and we rejoice this day to see you amongst us, claiming a new tribute of thanks.—( Hear !)— By your sword the Bri- tish troops were led on to the victorious as> ault of Ciud- ad Rodrigo— by your daring hand, the British stand- ard was planted on the Citadel of lladajoz : when the Usurper of the Spanish Throne made his last effort at Vittoiia, your battalions were foremost in the engage- ment— his troops fled from them with terror and dis- may— and by your valour, the enemy was frustrated in his- desperate attempt to break through the barrier of the Pyrennees, and to raise the siege of Pamplona. ( Hear, hear!)— Having thus reaped a double harvest of glory in one year, you now come forward to receive our Thanks: and I do now, in the name and by the command ofthe Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, d> liver to you their unani- mous Thanks, for your great exertions on theSlst of June last at Vittoria, when the French army was de- feated by the forces under the command of the Mar- quis of Wellington : and for the valour and steadiness which you displayed, in repelling the repeated attacks niade on the British positions, by the army under Marshal S. iult, between the 25th July, and the Ist of August last."—( Hear, hear!) Sir THOMAS PICTON, in rising to express his thanks for the houour done him, was nearly overpowered by his feelings. MILITIA VOLUNTEERING. LORD CASTLEREAGH opened his new plan of mili- tary arrangements, for the purpose of giving at the present important moment every possible efficiency to the disposable force of the country. The source from which an additional strength to our disposable force is proposed to be drawn is the Militia. Since the year 1805, when Government first called en Par- liament to allow the Militia to enter into the line, they had contributed within 250 men of 100,000 to the disposable force of the country. The number raised by the ordinary course of recuiiting was about 15,000, making in the whole 25,000 men for general service. This number, even during the latter years of the contest in Spain, was nearly sufficient to replace every loss, and keep np the disposable force to its present mimber, 230,000 men. He proposed that with every hundred men who volunteer from any militia regiment, three officers, a captain, a lieutenant, and an ensign, shall also be allowed to volunteer. The officers so volunteering to hold the same rank as they held in the Militia, also to be entitled to lialf- pay, and after serving one campaign, to fill any situation in the aimy.— Any number of men beyoud the ap- pointed proportion, who offered their services from any regiment, to be thrown into provisional batta- lions. They are to vohiuteer either for a period to end in six months after a peace, or for life.— It was bis wish that no militia regiment should be left with- out such a proportion of men as would be found ne- cessary for carrying on the system of recruiting, and foini as it were the basis of the regiment. His inten- tion was to propose in the Bill which he meant to bring in, that in the number of men who might volun- teer into the army, not more than three- fourths of any regiment should be taken, and that one- fourth part at least of every regiment should be preserved.— But as there was no ground to presume that the class of mtn disposed to transfer their services absolutely to the Line, Would be so numerous as to afford what the exigencies of the moment demanded, his Lordship submitted another mode of encouraging the desire of active service in the Militia, which was more congenial w ith the principle of that body, and which w ould libe- rate a mimber of officers and men desirous of extend- ing their servires. He proposed that they should also be permitted to volunteer to serve as Militia- men. The officers would be considered as still belonging to the Mililia of their country; but would return home with this advantage, that having gone abroad at a critical period, they would be entitled, on being disembodied, to the halt- pay of the army. He thought there would be a groat disposition among the Militia to go on this service : they would go as Militia- men, and they would continue to have all the advantages of Miiitia- men. A man would be enabled to serve his country abroad without leaving his wife in want at home. The proposed bounty for the transfer from the home to European service is ten guineas; for entering into the Line, twelve guineas, for a service limited in point of time; and sixteen guineas for a service for life; thus allowing two guineas for each part of the scale. Supposing the measure to produce 26 or 27,000 men, and that the ordinary recruiting did not fall off from the usual number of 14,000, the Govern- ment would be enabled to raise 40,000 men, exclusive of the recruits for the foreign regiments, The average waste of our army for the last four years may have been 25,000 men, and the waste of this year might be presumed to amount to 30,000. We should in this maimer be taking prudent and proper precautions for the prompt supply of our army. His Lordship moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enable his Majesty to accept the services ofthe Mili- tias in Europe, out of the United Kingdom, for the vigorous prosecution of the war.— The motion was earned item. con. Mr. WHITEHEAD said, he was aware that a large additiou to our disposable force was necessary, and that this was the only proper way in which it could he made. But he hoped it would not be used iu any new or extended schemes of ambition, either on the part of Ministers, or on that of our Allies, if they should unfortunately entertain any; but that it should be only used for the pui poseof bringing about a speedy and durable peace. LORD CASTI. EREACH said, he was happy to receive the support of the Hon. Gentleman, and he did not value that support the less forthe principles which the Hon. Gentleman had just uttered with it. He had stated, at the commencement of the Session, that no ambitious projects were entertained by his Majesty's Ministers, or by his Majesty's Allies. WAYS AND MEANS. FRIDAY.— Mr. ARBUTHNOT moved the farther continuance ofthe Land and Malt Taxes, the Annual Pension Duty, aud the Duties on Sugar, Tobacco, and Snuff. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the Sugar Duties were at present inconvenient and complicated in their mode of collection. The appear- ance of the Consolidated Fund wassomewhat affected by this circumstance, though nothing of national im- portance attached to it. He intended, therefore, to propose some new system of regulation, which, instead ofthe three classes into which the Duty was now di- vided, should simplify the whole. DISPOSABLE FORCE. LORD CASTLEREAGH brought up the Bill for ac- cepting the services of the Militia, in the vigorous prosecution of the war, which was read a first time. His Lordship stated, that there were blanks to fill up, which he should move on Monday, aud which might be subsequently considered on Wednesday next. It was then lead a second time.— Adjourned.

MENTZ, or MAVENCE.— As this place will probably be attacked by the A liies, should they pursue Bonaparte to the Rhine, the following particulars may not be unin- teresting:— In 1689, Prince Charles of Lorraine, then command- ing the Imperial Army, summoned it to surrender. It was ill fortified; but the Marquis of Uxelles, who afterwards became a Marshal of France, gallantly de- fended it for six weeks. Louis XIV. seeing the Mar- quis affected by the event, said to him Marqui, vons avezdefendu la place en homme d'eaur, et vans cupitulc en homme d' esprit. Mentz is one of the keys of the em- pire. It is situated at the confluence of the Rhine and the Main, and its tete- de- pouf is covered by Cassel. It was taken by Custine in the month of Oct. 1792, and on the 6th of January, 1793, it was besieged on the side of Cassel by 60,000 Prussians, There are many defensible small islands about it. In 1795 Gen. Kleber attacked and took it, and it was again retaken by the Allies, but was finally secured to France 1797. N. B. Meutz cannot be starved except by a double blockade. STATE OF HAMBURGH, A Gentleman, who found means to leave Hamburgh at ( he close of last month, and to make his way to this country, relates some curious particulars respecting the operations of the French in that city. On the 31st ult. the fortifications were considered to be near- ly completed, and the garrison had succeeded in pro- visioning itself for a long period to come. The Ham- biirgenberg had been pulled down, to the extent of four streets across the hill, as far as Ihe New Droege. The Glassluit, with all that belonging to it, and every thing before the gate called Damtlior, has been de- stroyed as far as the Botanic Garden. Before the gate Brokthor, and on the Grasbrok, all the houses were in the act of being pulled down. The whole Borgfelde, and all the country in that neighbourhood, had been levelled to the ground. In the suburbs, the pavement had been removed, and all the stones conveyed to Wilheliiishiirgh, in order to make a grand paved road. The bridge leading from the Brokthor across the Gras- brok to Wilhelmsbtirg, has been finished, and cost in building about four millions of franks. All the arti- cles necessary for its construction had been taken by requisition. The whole seized ill this manner, in- cluding timber, iron, hemp, tar, together with wine, brandy, & c. for the garrison, amounted to at least twenty millions of franks. Two new citadels had been recently erected, one neai Burgh's monument, commanding the Jungfcrsteig; the other at the Stiut- fang, threatening the whole town. The Church of the Holy Spirit had been converted into a magazine ; that of St. John into a magazine for wine; and that of Gertrude into one for flour. The sluices be- tween the Great and Little El, ster had been opened for the greater facility of conveying the materials for erecting some new palisadoes near the Eister. The opening the sluices, however, occasioned the tisiug of the water in the Little Eister to such a height that it completely filled all Ihe cellars belonging to the dwel- lingsof the lower classes of people : but of this circum- stance no notice whatever was taken by the enemy. Instead of conciliating the people, by studying their comfort, the French do every thing to mortify them. The soldiers are immerously quartered on the inhabi- tants, and extraordinary charges are laid on the peo- ple, independant of the heavy contributions levied on ihem. About the 25th of October, 12,000 blankets were demanded by the French Commandant for the u « e ofthe troops. This being the whole supposed to be wanted, they were immediately furnished; but in the course of a few days afterwards, a still greater supply ( from 75 to 80,000) was required. The respectable citizens continued to avail themselves of every oppor- tunity to escape from the clutches of the French, aban- doning both tlieir town and country houses, together with considerable property. Twelve hundred of the Danish auxiliary troops were stationed at Altona, and 4000 sick were at the cotton manufactory before Ihe Damthor, as also 1600 out of the 10,000 ill the field. Besides these, there was a great nnmber of French sick ia Hamburgh, not less, it is said, than 6000 men. In the territory of Eutin, which the French entered a few weeks ago, great outrages had been committed. The news of the battles of the 18th and 19th appeared to produce considerable effect on the leading military- men, and much disagreement evidently existed a- mongst them as to their future operations. That Ihe place, however, would be defended to the last extre- mity no one doubted. COLSTON'S ANNIVERSARY. As it were to hail the dawn of a brighter prospect than the last twenty years have presented, of that halcyon period when Europe, if not the whole civil- ized world, shall know no fiercer contention than who may best promote the arts of Peace, the Thir- teenth of November recurred on Saturday, for a re- newed opportunity to the inhabitants of Bristol, of expressing their conviction that a successful cultiva tion of earthly pursuits is not incompatible wilh the heaven- descended principle of good- will towards men. The Societies formed tft commemorate such a combination in tlio instance" of Edward Colston, evinced the sincerity of their veneration for his name ill the following manner. The members of the Dolphin Society met their President, Mr. Richard Colston, at the Cathedral, where an exreilent sermon was preached by the Rev. Francis Geach Crossman, rector of West Monkton, who took his text from St. Paul's 2d Epistle to the Corinthians, chap. ix. v. 6 and 7. " He that sowetli little shall reap little ; and he that soweth plenteonsly shall reap plenteonsly. Let every man do according as he is disposed in his heart; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God lovcth a cheerful giver."— The Society afterwards accompanied him to the White Lion, to dinner, where, formed among the members, a corps of amateur glee and solo- singers, rendered the festive scene ' unusual gay;' and a collection was made for charitable purposes, amounting to <£ 413 17s. 6d. exclusive of every expence of ordinary and wine. The company were numerous and respectable— John Cave, Esq. was chosen president for tile ensuing year. We cannot close this account of a meeting un- precedented, as we are told it was, both in point of numbers and extent of the collection, ( which we un- derstand exceeded any former collection by more than 1001.) without noticing the gentleman to whose merits a tribute so gratifying was paid.— Mr. Richard Colston, the President, was educated in the School founded by the Great Benefactor of Bristol, where he acquired early principles of religion and virtue, and early habits of industry and integrity; and it is to those principles and to those habits we are to at- tribute Ihe respect and estimation in which he is now- held by his Wlow citizens. The unwearied exertions which this gentleman has used in promoting various charitable and useful institutions, and in particular the gratitude which he has evinced towards his Bene- factor, in devoting so much of his time and talent to forward the interests of the Society, in which he oil Saturday presided, have received in the applause of his fellow- citizens only the reward they strictly me- rited— a reward, however, the true value of which those on| y can duly appreciate who have deserved and received it. The Anchor Society dined with their President, John Yerbury, Esq. at the Bush Tavern.— The col- lection amounted to .£ 302 18s. 6d — Brooke Smith, Esq. was chosen President for the year ensuing. The members and friends of the Grateful Society accompanied their Prseident, Mr. Geo. Jones, to All Saint's Church, where an appropriate and impressive discourse was delivered by tbe Rev. Mr. Day, from 2 Cor. viii. 9. " For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." The company afterwards partook of an excellent dinner ( provided by Mr. Ham) at the Merchant Tailors' Hall, where a collection was made for liie charitable purpose ofthe institution, amount- ing to upwards of 2201. A beautiful transparency of the monument of the late pious Mr. Colston was displayed on the occasion, and had a most pleasing and encouraging effect. In a compartment on the right side was exhibited the number of boys ( 202) apprenticed by this Society, and on the left the number of the poor lying- in women relieved ( 5791.) Mr. Wm. Underwood was chosen President for the year ensuing. The Crown Prince of Sweden, as Chancellor of the Royal College of Upsale, has been pleased, at the instance of his Swedish Majesty, to command the de- gree of Doctor in Medicine to be conferred on Raipli Eden, Esq. late Surgeon to Admiral Sir James Sauinarez, in the Victory, in testimony of the services iie hid rendered to his Swedish Majesty's subjects, and particularly on account of his successful treat- ment of an endemic disorder which prevailed last year in Sweden. — The diploma was transmitted by Comit Robin to Sir James Saumarez for Dr. Eden, Enthronement of the Bishop of London.— Wednesday was the day appointed for ihe enthronement of the Bishop of London into the Cathedral of his Diocese. St. Paul's Cathedral. A few minutes before. eleven o'clock, the Bishop, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Hughes, the Residentiary, and the Prebendaries be- longing to the Cathedral, arrived at the great west door from the Chapter- House. They were met at the door by the Minor Canons, the Vicars Choral, and tile Vergers, and, preceded by the latter, they walk- ed in grand procession up the centre aisle, the organ • playing a solemn piece. They all took their regular seats in the choir, except the Bishop, who took his seat in the further grand stall on the right side. The morning service then began. After tiie first lesson, Dr. Hughes, the Residentiary, read a mandate from the Archbishop of Canterbury, directing the install- ment. The Residentiary then went to the Bishop, led him from his temporary seat, ami conducted him to the stall in the centre, on the right side, set apart to his Lordship, and installed him with the usual ce- remony. At the close of the service, the procession returned to the Chapter- House, where the Bishop took bis seat at the head of the table, and the whole of the Members of the Cathedral paid canonical obe- dience, according to their seniority, and the cere- mony concluded. Mr. Wright, secretary to the late Bishop of Lon- don, has caused 197 writs to be issued, in order to obtain penalties against non- resident Incumbents in the Dioeeses of London, Ely, & c. who have omitted either to apply for licences, or have neglected to no- tify the cause of exemption, as required by the 43d of the King. Mr. Wright was a great favourite of Bishop PorteUs, but not so of the Bisiiop of Norwich, aud others of the present. Episcopacy. In a letter inserted in the Morning Chronicle, Mr. W. after complaining of ill- treatment, states, " that he has found powerful friends, and whilst the poor conscientious Clergyman has nothing to fear, he is determined, thus supported, to lay before the public the manner in which the re- ligious duties of this country are neglected by the more opulent." Several of " the clergy in Suffolk, against whom actions have been brought, have met at Bury, to petition Parliament for relief, and Sir Win. Scott is likewise spoken of as intending to bring ill a Bill to exonerate the above 197 pluralist* and others from the penalties that attach on their non- conformity to the requisitions of the law. Joseph Lancaster has been for some lime past at variance with the committee of theRoyal Lancasterian School, in consequence of the new modelling of that institution. At a meeting of the patrons at the Crown and Anchor, the Duke of Kent, the Chairman, declared, that although he ( Lancaster) had been the founder of this excellent institution, he was now its greatest enemy. Lancaster, however, afterwards made his peace, by accepting a situation in the school, at a salary of 11. per day. Friday, at eleven o'clock, the gentlemen contract- ing for the ensuing Lottery, waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer with the following biddings:— Swift and Co ,£ 16 13 10 Ilish and Co 16 8 4 Sivewright ,.. 15 2 11 Swift and Co. have ot course got the Lottery. Mr. Gurney, son of the Rev. Mr. Gtirney, of Ports- mouth, to avenge a supposed insult offered to his father by Mr. Gilford, the barrister, upon Occasion of what passed before a committee of the House of Commons, first challenged, and afterwards laid his whip across Mr. Gifford's shoulders. The Court of King's Bench have granted a rule for Mr. Ouiiiey to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for this assault. — Stigant, a small farmer, at Bcckford, near Southwirk, a few days since, found 100 gs. ( in gold) in his pigstye. Last week a large and very beautiful species of the Golden Eagle, but in many respects answering the description of the Great Sea Eagle, was shot by Mr. Simmons, at Woodchurch, in the Isle of Thanet, and was given by him to a gentleman at Margate, who has had it preserved. Its weight was nearly 18lbs. its length from beak to tail measured three feet, and be- tween the extremities of its expanded wings, seven feet three inches. Carter has accepted a challenge from Molineux to fight him for 200gs. within three months. Some doubt ieing expressed concerning how, and of what the colours said to be taken at Leipsig, were manufactured, a punster observed, that they must have been made of shot sille! Saturday morning, about three o'clock, two old houses situate in the Mint were thrown down by the violence of the gale, and fell with a tremendous crash. They were fully inhabited in every part by Irish of the humblest class, and had it not been that the patroles fortunately discovered the dangerous state of the building time enough to give them ihe alarm, the consequences must have been dreadful: happily, however, they all escaped, though almost in a naked state, before the buildings fell: no individual was hurt, but all their furniture and effects were de- stroyed aud buried in the ruins. Sunday morning last a return chaise was stopped near the Star Inn, in Canterbury, on its way to Deal, by a private soldier of the 52d regiment, assisted by a party of the Glamorgan regiment, and who took out of it a well- dressed person, apparently a sailor, w ho has been siuce identified to be a French naval officer, who escaped from one of the prisOu- ships in the River Medway, where he has been confined nine years. The soldier formerly belonged to the East Kent mililia, and while in that regiment, doing duty over French prisoners, at several dep6u, had gained a knowledge of their dress and behaviour, which made him suspect the prisoner, whom he saw enter the chaise, and who is now lodged in Westgate gaol. John Langdon, a native of Plymouth Dock, by trade a joiner, but who has since officiated as a Dissenting Minister in the neighbourhood of London, took his trial for bigamy, at the Old Bailey Sessions, last week, and was found guilty. The offence is punishable by seven years transportation. In the year 1798, he was married at Stoke Damerel. Abont three years after, he deserted his wife and two children, leaving them chargeable on tiie parish. In 1804 he married a widow at Chichester, with whom he co- habited until she heard of the former marriage, when he left her. Iu 1807 he was at Boston, in Lincolnshire, where he married a young woman of very considerable property, and soon after left her; and ill December, 1810, he married a fourthiwife in London. The piosecntion was instituted by the last wife, to prevent his repealing the crime with oilier unsuspecting females. The Jury, without the least hesitation, prononnced him guilty. Several persons from Dock identified his person, and proved his marriage with his first wife, who is now living at Dock. MOEL FAMMA.— The last anniversary ofhis Majes- ty's accession to the throne, was celebrated on this stupendous eminence by several loyal and respecta- ble gentlemen of the Principality, amongst whom was particularly noticed, J. Lloyd, Esq. of Wigfair, who hospitably regaled the company with a cold collation, and gave a handsome sum to Mr. Penson, to be dis- tributed amongst the workmen cmpoyed in erecting the Jubilee column on that immense height. Plaster for rendering Linen Cloth impenetrable to Air and Water.— Boil a quarter of a pound of gum elastic slowly w ith three quarters of a pint of boiled linseed oil. When the gum is dissolved, add about two pints of boiled oil, one pound of rosin, one pound of yellow wax, and as much litharge; which boil together. This mass should be applied whilst hot to the liucn, which will remain, afier this layer, as supple as it was before: it may also be employed instead of leather for pipes to fire- engines, or as a covering for loaded waggons and other articles which require to be kept from moisture. Hempen cloth is the best to be used, ami the seams should be done twice over. The following experiment was lately tried in Bath. — In a large room filled with company, in which the air was much larified, a bird was let fly, which, on ascending to the cieling, instantly fell down dead. This circumstance strongly points out the necessity of well ventilating al! places of public resort. The most effective ventilator for a dining or drawing- room would he an inverted funnel or trumpet- mouth, form- ed of tin- plate or copper, placed in its centre, close to the cieling, from which a pipe of the same male- rial might conduct air through an aperture opened for that purpose into tlie chimney or elsewhere. At meals, or whenever the room is crowded, a burning lamp, suspended under the funnel, would cause a suf- ficient vacuum and consequent draught of air through the pipe, to carry off all noxious eSuvia, and render the apartment pleasantly cool and wholesome. We would particularly recommend the adoption of this expedient in smoking- rooms. WATERFORD, Nov. 6.— The following particulars ofthe murder of Francis Smith, Esq. who was killed in his own parlour, at Balmaclash," iii tips county, have been furnished by a Gentleman who was present at the inquest. On Sunday evening, between five and six o'clock, a servant man, who was outside nailing a board over a broken pane in the parlour window, observed three mes inclose consultation in a field at some distance towards Ballylaueen. The servant con- ceived suspicions, and as they came towards the house, he cautioned the foremost that his master was armed • the fellow opened his breast, shewed a pistol, and bid' the man take care of himself: they then pushed him into the parlour, and knocked him down. Mr. Smith asked what they were about, and was it whiskey they wanted? they replied, no : sat down and- ordered the servant out. The man went to the kitchen, where the servant woman said she always dreaded some such mis- chief would one day or other happen : in about four minutes they heard a shot in the parlour, which lie sup- posed was fired at his master ; determined to return to the parlour at all hazards, he left Ihe kitchen, heard his master groan, and met him in the passage. Mr. S. said, " I am a dead mail," and almost instantly fell and verified his words. On investigation neither money nor watch were found upon him, although lie was sel. dom without money, and had on that day, and on the preceding, received large sums. The ruffians imme- diately after firing, left the house, went off through Ballylaueen, and were not afterwards heard of. On going, they met some villagers at the door laughing, and practising the usual mummeries of All- hallow- eve ( 31st Oct). They joined in the laugh, and appeared anxious to out. do them in noisy merriment. BANKRUPTS FROM SATURDAY') GAZETTE. Ed- xard M.
