Dispatches, of which the following are extracts, have been received at the Foreign- Office, addressed to Viscount Castlereagh. Freyburg, in Brisgau, Dec. 21, 1813. MY LORD— The Emperor's head- quarters moved from Frankfort on the Maine, to Freyburg in Brisgati. The Emperor himself passed a week at Carlsruhe, and arrived • on the 22day Freyburg, where his Imperial Majesty was re- ceived by the Emperor of Austria, who had already been sortie days here. Prince Schwartzenberg's head- quarters were on the 21st at Lorach, and were to be removed yes- terday to Basle. The Austrian forces have crossed the Rhine at Schaffhausen, Basle, and intermediate plees, and are proceeding on their march towards the frontier of France. The Field- Marshal's head- quarters were expected to be transferred to Bern on the 26th. The regular Swiss forces have retired in Switzerland, and the militia expects to be disembodied. No hostility or act of- violence had taken place, and every thing seems to promise the best under- standing. General Wrede, with the army under his " com- mand, is to carry on the siege of Huninguen with the great- est activity, and is before that place. He will be covered and supported by the Russian forces. The Prince Royal of Wirtemberg is before Kehl. Marshal Blucher remains near Frankfort, his forces being distributed above and be- low Mayence, as circumstances require. A considerable column has marched by Stuttgard and Tubingen upon Sehaffhaussen, and it is probable that the Imperial head- quarters will soon be again in motion. His Majesty the King of Prussia is still at Frankfort, but is expected here immediately. The Chancellor, Baron Hardenberg, arrived this evening. ' ' CATHCART. I/ etter from his Excellency General Viscount Catiicart. K. T. dated Freyburg, in Brisgau, Dec. Iblh. MY LORD— Count Bubna, with the Austrian advanced . guard, has already passed Bern ; and that Canton has en- tirely resumed its former constitution. The Cantons of ' Zurich and Soleure are following its example, and have sent deputies to consult in regard to the proper steps to be taken. Prince Schwartzenberg has been at Basle, but his head- quarters are still at Lorach, from whence he directs the movements of the columns in motion. CATHCART. A letter from Captain Harper, Commander of the Sara- - cen, dated off Castei Nuova, Bocca di Cataro, dated Oc- tober 13, acquaints the Admiralty of the capture, without • any loss on our side, of the island of St. George, and the Castle of Vesarte. BANKRUPTS. Thomas Ingall, of Bawtry, grocer. Robert Boroughs, and William Winn, of Upper Thames- street, mer- chants. Silvester Ingledew, of Cheapside, warehouseman. Shem Hand, of Oxford, linen- draper. John Greenwood, of Hudders- field, shuttle- maker. Robert Padfield, of Gurney Slade, miller. William Luddington, of Bristol, hatter. John Weston and Tho- mas Thornton, of Kingston- upon- Hull, timber- merchants. R. Ward, of Burton- upon- Trent, victualler. FLINDELLS LUMINARY. Exeter, Tuesday, January 11. The passage of the Rhine by the Allies on the ult. was announced by the English Government in the follow- ing Bulletin:—• " Foreign Office. Jan. 6. " The Allies crossed the Rhine on the 20th ult. their whole arrangements could not be completed befoie the 5th of January. — Arrangements had been made with the Swiss Cantons, and the Allies have pledged themselves to replace Switzerland in the same state of integrity and independence as before the Revolu- tion.— The army now in operation against Alsace and Franclie Comte was upwards of 200,000 men. There are not any accounts of any action. The seige of Hunningen was begun.— Govern- ment have received letters of the 30th from Sir Thomas Graham. — The last dispatches from Lord Wellington were dated on the 80th ult. His Lordship writes that Soult had halted his army behind the River Gave, with his left resting upon Reisherade. It is stated, as from authority, that previous to the decisive step, the Allies offered to enter into a negoeiation with Bo- naparte on the following basis:—" The Independence by Sea and Land of all the Countries and States politically known at the beginning of the French Revolution." The Tyrant prevaricated— demurred— and the passage of the Rhine was the consequence.— About 50,000 crossed at Basle, and took the road to Befort; a similar number passed by Poventruy, to the valley of Doubs; another division took the road to Colmar. The Swiss, whose neutrality had been proclaimed at the instance of Bonaparte, for the purpose of covering a line of frontier which he could not otherwise defend, are said to have secretly solicited the Allies to pass thro,' and relieve them from French domina- tion.— Generals Winzingerode and Bulow are about to enter Brabant and Flanders, where the people are ripe for insurrection.— The effects of this decisive step on the usurper and his Senators is admirable.— On the 30th ult. ( say the Paris Papers) seated upon his throne, he received his Senate in a body, when Count Lecepede, the President, presented the following Address:— " SIRE,— The Senate comes to offer to your Imperial Majesty the tribute of its attachment and gratitude for the last communi- cations which it has received by the. medium of its committee. Your Majesty adheres to the proposals even of your enemies, which have been transmitted by one of your Ministers in Ger- many. What stronger pledge could you give of your sincere de- sire of peace?— Your Majesty certainly believes that power is strengthened by being limited, and that the art of favouring the people is the chief policy of Kings. The Senate thanks you for it in the name of the French people. It is also in the name of this same people that. we thank you for all the legitimate means of defence which your wisdom may take to ensure peace. " The enemy has invaded our territory. He designs to pene- trate to the centre of « r provinces. The French, united in sen- timents and interest, under a Chief like you, will not suffer their energy to be cast down.— Empires, like individuals, have their days of mourning and of prosperity ; it is in great exigencies that great nations shew themselves.— No! the enemy shall not tear as under this beautiful and noble France, which for these I f centuries has maintained itself with glory through such diversi- ties of fortune j and which, for the interest of the neighbouring nations themselves, can alway's throw a considerable weight into the balance of Europe. We have for pledges, your heroic firm- ness, and the national honour: " We will flight for our dear Country, between the tombs of our fathers, and the cradles of our infants. " Sire, obtain peace by a last effort worthy of yourself, and of the French ; and let your hand, so of. en victorious, drop your arms, after having signed the repose of the world. " This, Sire, is the wish of France— the wish of the Senate: this is the wish and want of the human race." To which his Majesty replied as follows :— " 1 am sensible to the sentiments which you express towards me. You have seen by the documents which I have caused to be laid before you, what I do for the sake of peace. I will make, without regret, the sacrifices implied by the preliminary basis which the enemy has proposed, and which I have accepted ; my life has but one object— the happiness of the French. ' " Meantime Bearn, Alsace, Franche Comte, are invaded.— The cries of these parts of my family rend my heart. I call upon the French to succour the French. I call the French of Paris, of Bretagne, of Normandy, Champagne, ami of the other departments, to the succour of their brethren. Shall we forsake them in their distress ? Peace, and the deliverance of our territory, ought to be our rallying cry. At, the sight of all this nation in amis, the enemy will fly, or will sign peace oil the basis which he himself proposed. " The question is now no more, to recover the conquests we have made." When, ever before, did this Senate address its master so boldly ?— When did that master ever receive rebuke and advice so humbly !- A decree follows these lamentations, in the French papers, fdf the sending of Senators or Coun- sellors of State into the several military divisions, in qua- lity of Commissioners extraordinary, to hasten the levies of men and horses, the clothing and arming, the provisioning of the fortresses, & c!— But the sentiments of the French people, in this crisis of their Tyrant's fate, find no place ia these papers. It is confidently asserted, " the Emperor of Austriashas declared, that no objection exists on his part to the vesto~ ration of the Bourbons."— It is not doubted, that intrigues are on foot in their favour, and of which, many rumours are- afloat. It is asserted, that " a person of powerful connec- tions in France, has within, these few days come over to this country to wait on Louis XVIII. and has been admit- ted to a private interview."— It is also stated, on the author- ity of letters said to have been received from Holland, " that several Deputies from the Northern and Eastern Provinces of France are proceeding to Great Britain to offer to Louis the 18th the assistance of the respective Districts they repre- sent for his re- establishment on the Throne of France."— And, if we are to believe the assurance contained in a con- fidential letter of the ' 30th, lately received from Paris, com- binations have been formed there, which ace competent and ready to consummate the desired revolution. It says, " in most important events will take nder no apprehension for the result, > e made perfectly secure."— It was on Saturday last, that a nephew © f ed from France, accompanied by tzerland ( who married a relation of important mission to our Govern- that one of Bonaparte's Dukes had the course of a few place here. We are] as every thing will rumoured on ' Change Talleyrand's had at Lord Rostock from Talleyrand's) . with ment. It was also - gone over to Lord Wellington. These rumours were- so far credited, that Omnium rose to 18 per cent. LORD WELLINGTON— SPAIN, Sec. By the Rover sloop of war, which left Passages with a fleet of transports on the 28th, and arrived last week at Ply- mouth, we have a rumour, that Lord Wellington had left 15,000 Spaniards to observe Bayonne, and, crossing the Adour with the British and Portuguese, had advanced towards Bourdeaux. This report needs confirmation.— Letters from St. Sebastian of the 28th, state that 30,000 Spaniards were expected in a few days to pass through that city to join Lord Wellington.— The fortress of Jaca, at the middle pass of the Pyrenees, had surrendered. SHIPPING AFFAIRS. Four French chasse- maries, with wine and brandy, ta- ken by the Basque- roads squadron, arrived at Plymouth on Monday last, with the Warspite. The Sandwich lugger, Lieut. Drake, engaged two armed vessels, last week on tile French coast; but they got off by their sweeps in a calm. CAPTURE OF THE LAPWING PACKET.— The Swiftsure brings intelligence of the capture of the Lapwing Falmouth packet, Captain Furze, on the 22d of November, by the Fox American privateer, after a very severe action of an hour and a half, during which the packet had 15 of her m<? u killed. and wounded, an^ l the privateer, three killed and five wounded. This account was brought to Barbadoes by four of the privateer's crew, which were dispatched in the Lap- wing's boat to recover the boat of the Fox, which had been cut away in the action;— but night coming on they lost sight of the vessels, and the next morning stood for Barbadoes, off which island the Fox was cruising. The IRISH CATHOLIC BOARD.— The late celebrated speech of Dr. Dromgoole, of which we published an extract, whils it has laid an obligation on the Protestants, has procured lor the Doctor the respect of every friend to candour and fair dealing. The Resolution ( copied into our last paper) in which the Catholic Board disclaim, when they find it their interest to do so, sentiments in which they had previous- ly acqtiiesed; can be misunderstood by no man. On then latter occasion, Doctor. Dromgoole expressed himself a.^ follows:— My opinions, as I have given them, I would declare before the Privy council, or the Bench of Bishops. 1 desire no man trv adopt them ; and, in their rejection, for myself I shall feel no-- thing, but I shall feel a great deal for the character of this board,, Recollect, Gentleman, that those are the opinions of a catholic— that they are yours if you be Catholic, and that they are noto-, riously the opinions of every well- informed Catholic upon tie- face of the earth. I have ventured, in. order to. prevent an Oatli- from being enacted, which could not, in its present form, be taken, to state one of the religious objections. which we ha\ e to the Protestant Church ; and because a few hired Papers have made noise in the City, and a few ragged Orangemen ill Berry or Belfast have come together in consequence if such be the case, are you to make a solemn disavowel of your principals.?. And if yon do, mil you be believed ? Is there a Protestant, of any description, in any of these kingdoms that does not know that you have objections to the religion of the State? And if you say the contrary, how can they believe you ? Are yon pre- pared, like slaves- before their offended masters, to get upon your knees, and say, that indeed you meant uo offence— that the Protestant Church is NOT IN DANGER— that you have no ob- jection to the tenets it holds— that you for your part, don't think, that it is NOVEL, or that it will have AN END? If yon do this you wilt be disgraced and laughed at, your Fellow- Catholics will be ashamed of you, and, Protestants will hold you in contempt. ' lOCal AND DOMESTIC.. At the generat quarter sessions of the county of the city of Exeter, held yesterday at the Guildhall, James Sharland,, for stealing from James Ford, of the Pelican public- house- in Exeter, 19k in bills, 2 guineas in gold, ten 7s. pieces,. 1 half- guinea, 11 dollars, half a crown, 11 six- pences, 5 shillings, 9 silver spoons, and sundry copper tokens, & c.. was found guilty, and received sentence of death.— Shar- land is, about 20 years of age, a carpenterhe had been, invited to dinner by Mr. Ford on Christmas- day ; whei$ lie broke opeti and robbed the prosecutor's box, in his bed-, room.— The prosecutor earnestly recommended him to mercy. Nathaniel Gregory was convicted of stealing 10. lbs. weight, of pewter, value 7s. goods of Mr. William Kers- lake, on the 11th December last, at St. Mary Arches, and, sentenced to be transported for 7 years. Thomas Vicary convigted of receiving the same pewter,, knowing it to have been stolen; to lie transposted for 1 t years. Elizabeth Warren, in custody for stealing two umbrellasv the property of Mr. John Kelland, was not tried,, being at present ill of a fever. No assize of Bread was set. The Court thinking it would be for the general benefit, to leave the trade open to. competition. ^ The Tiverton Troop of Royal First Devon Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Worth, having , met on the 8th instant, and Lord Sidmouth's circular letter to the Lord Lieutenancy being read, they unanimously ac- ceded to tlie wishes of Government, by agreeing to go on permanent duty for 12 successive days in every year ; and also to extend their services tt> any duty that Government may require of them. The Renfrew regiment of Militia marched into this city on Saturday last, and proceeded yesterday tor Plymouth. We- have authority to state, that the- Rev. Charles Henry Collyns, A. B. of Balliol College, Oxford, Officiating Mi- nister ot St. Sidwell's, intends to open a Classical School ia this city, on the Eton plan, on thefirst of February.'" A large party of the respectable Inhabitants of Ashbur- ton celebrated the late victories on Thursday last, by a ball at the Golden Lion inn, which was brilliantly illuminated on the occasion.

HORRID MURDER.-— A shocking instance of murder oc-> A ourred in the parish of Camborne, Cornwall, on the night of tho 1st of January, which was not discovered until late the follow- ing day. James Rule a lunatic who had been confined in the poor- house of that parish for several years, found means to de-, s roy a female pauper ( supposed by strangulation) who attended him, and lived in the same apartment where he was chained^ The constables broke into the room and found the lunatic at large and alone; on being questioned about the woman he said she was gone into Devonshire, but on examining the fire- place ( which is a large open chimney) no doubt remained of his having burnt the body, from the smell, and the half consumed pieces of human bones that remained. When pressed more closely on the subject, he confessed that " she was gone to asltos."

" Mr. John Cooke's American Creepers are the greatest novelty at present in Exeter. They prevent falling in frosty weather;— are of very simple construction, univer- sally approved of, and in general demand. It i. as been recommended by a Correspondent that on the 13th instant, the day appointed for a General Thanksgiving to Al- mighty God for the innumerable blessings bestowed upon this happy country, Congregational Collections should be made after divine service, in every place of public worship throughout the l. nited Kingdom; for the relief ot our gallant countrymen who have been disabled, and the Widows and Orphans of those who liive beeu killed in achieving the late glorious victories in Spain.. Similar contributions were made after the never- to- be- forgotten triumph of Lord Nelson, at Trafalgar, which assuaged the wounds, and allievateri the grief of thousands of the brave sufferers, and the surviving relatives of those who fell in that memorable con- test. As an additional motive to this act of national beneficence, Jet it he remembered, that our brave warriors in the respective services, bv their illustrious example and heroic courage durng • the present war, have been tbe instruments, under Divine Provi- idence, of animating the Nations of Europe to successful exertion- against the oppressor of mankind, and opening that bright pros- pect which now dawns upon the world, of a secure, honourable, and permanent peace. Congregational collections, therefore, for such an object as our Correspondent recommends, woald fur- nish the living proof, that while we praise the Great Giver of all Victory with our lips, our hearts are animated with the corres- ponding emotions of gratitude and love.

WEDNESDAY, 6th January, 1814. AT a Meeting of the Occupiers of Land, holden at ther Globe Inn, Newton Abbott, for the purpose of considering what legal measures can be taken, to prevent the effects which would be produced if the notices of the Surveyors of the High- ways, ( to cut oft* even with the bank the . whole growth of the hedges adjoining to such highways) were carried into execution^ Tbe Rev. Mr. HUXHAM, in the chair: Resolved, unanimously,— That it appears to this Meeting, that such orders are illegal, and injurious to the farmer and detri- mental to the public. That of the whole of the hedges in this district, those adjoining to the highways may be reasonably computed at a fifth part, and consequently the annual cutting of the growth of such hedges will materially tend to decrease the quantity of wood,. and considerably to incerase its pricp. That the expenditure for the district, and tbe loss of wood, if such. orders- are carried into execution, may be fairly estimated at several hundreds a year. That the husbundman will be taken from useful services at the most important times, to be employed in prejudicial labors. That by perpetual yearly cuttings the roots which produce the wood on the hedges will be destroyed, and the fences ruined, and it will become impracticable in many cases^ to keep the*, cattle within the fences and without the fields- $ That the roads will be. materially injured by such measures, as the increased quantity of water which will fall into them in. their unsheltered state,, will, tend n. o e to their destruction than the introduction of a little more sun and wind will conduce to their preservation. That they will be rendered uncomfortable to the traveller from their miry condition or he will pass through them unprotected from the beat of the summer's sun and from winter's snow, wind, and rain. That tbe persons now present w ill exert themselves and advise their friends and neighbours so to cut and prune their hedges: against the highways, as not in any respect to be injurious to the roads, and to comply with the Act, which directs that they shall be so cut,, pruned, and plashed, as not to exclude the sun and wind to the damage thereof. That such illegal orders ought, on these grounds, to he legally resisted ; and that for this purpose, this meeting do appoint, Mr. Whiteway, Mr. Gaunter, Mr. Winsor, Mr. J. May, Mr. W, Rendle, Mr. Thos. Browse, Mr. Woodley, Mr. P. Michelmore, Mr. Bickford, Mr. Bishop, Mr. E. Blackler,' Mr. John Tozer, Mr. H. Browse, Mr. William Skinner, Mr. John Drew, Mr. A. Browse, Mr. J. Churchward, Mr. J. Jackson, Mr. Thos. Browse, Mr. H. Hearder, Mr. Thomas Gardner, Mr. N. Browse, Mr. Huxham, and Mr.. Tucker,, as a Committee, and that such com- mittee be an open one. That five of such committee be empowered to act. J. HUXHAM, Chairman. Mr. Huxham having left the chair, it was unanimously re- solved. That the thanks of this meeting be given to him for his conduct in the chair ; and,. Also to Mr. Tucker, for his exertions in" the cause,. FLINdelL's WESTERN LUMINARY: THOUGHTS— WITH A VIEW TO the general thanksgiving In the days of - our fathers, a provincial Journalist was •- content to confine his labours to an unadorned detail of current events. In our times, the public press has been used, like the lever of Archimedes, to lift the moral world ; ./— to retail, in too many instances, the seductive principles " of systematic apostacy— to shed a glory round . the head selfish ambition and wholesale murder- 1— and to relax the too feeble impulses of social duty and public virtue in sickly sensibilli'ty and moral depravity,— confounding the ignorant, misleading the credulous, preferring the curious in talent, which caters for the enjoyments of time, to the spi- Titual and substantial in religion and virtue, which qualify for a blissful eternity. Surely, the Father of mankind, gave nhe art of printing for greater and better purposes! Religion and politics have frequently been confounded for the worst of purposes— and sometimes totally separated, Irom the want of comprehension of their relative bearings. Politics are legitimate and just, in proportion as they aim tit the welfare of society, and are consistent with the two- fold nature of man, who must purchase his rights and privi- leges, by duties, equally in this world and the next. Never, perhaps, did the Moral Governor of the Universe £ orne forward more distinctly to the eye of mail,-'- never were the essential causes of human warfare more plainly unfolded;— and consequently, never was there a fairer op- portunity offered us, to study and understand the politics • of Heaven ( if we may use the expression) than in the rise - and progress of the present war.— What was the state of Europe immediately preceding the aera of the French lie- volution?— Had not civilization, reached its proudest height ?— When in any age or nation, was there a more gene- ral diffusion, among the whole of any people, of all that tends to devellope the various desires of the heart and feed tihem iuto wantonness, than at that portentous period.'— Society had ripened into rottenness. Moral writers observe, that true honour, integrity, fidelity, are enfeebled in an high state of civilization, and evaporate in phrase ; and Divines, who are really such, well know the reason. Painful as it may be to human feelings, it is not less true, that religiousness— that religiousness of the heart, which is the true cement of society, as it is the soul of social virtue— is kept alive among men by timely inflictions— providential inflictions; and it must necessarily be so, as long as ideas are generated in sensation. It was among the most learned, polite and elegantly voluptuous French and German Illuminati, and amidst the self- complacency of enjoyment, that consciousness of God's moral government of the universe died away.— The Bible, from which we confess we have learnt more, not only of religion, but of politics and philosophy— more of the true character of man in all its aspects— than from all the other books we have read;— the BIBLE was scouted by these men, as a compilation of error and imposition!— The • wide diffusion of this apostacy upon the Continent, will scarcely be believed among our sober readers. A total dere- liction of the great principles of Christianity, had become the mark of fashion and liberal thinking. All sense of religion b# ing thus erased from the heart, the best evidence of it was consequently lost. It was no sooner forgotten, than it was denied, that man is a compound of mortal matter and immortal spirit— his material functions adapted to the purposes of this life— his spiritual to those of another; — that the bond of human society is formed of the reci- procal wants and weaknesses of man— that out of these • wants grow all the moral and social duties— and that these duties constitute the proper exercise of the im- jnortal part, preparing it for that state of existence, but for which, this had been created to no end. Their denial of 4hese fundamental truths, was a proof, that their intellec- tual powers had been weakened and contracted, in cor- responding proportion to their moral depravity.— Un- conscious that this world had been launched, like a ship, upon the ocean of time and space, chartered for a voy- age only;— unconscious, that all of physical, moral or in- tellectual, that it is made up of, form but the crude materials, which in due time shall contribute to another, which may be the seat of that purity and permanency which the laws of present nature necessarily forbid; the doting fathers * f their darling revolution, unwittingly proceeded to those demonstrations of their folly, which were necessary to con- vince mankind of it, and to bring them back again to • hat religiousness, which is the preserving salt of so- ciety, and without some portion of which it inevitably stag- nates, or ferments to decomposition. The purblind Illu- minati having mistaken that mildness of the human cha- racter, which appeared round them, as formed under a ' long • ourse of established law, religion, and good maimers ( the result of all) for the natural character of man, abstracted from all these: set about to remove all those salutary re- straints, as superfluous and injurious, and to restore man to a state of nature, which they contemplated as that of a kind of philosophical perfectability. And what was the . horrible anarchy that followed, but the natural effect of the causes they set in action? Released from moral and religious restraint, all the desires and pa^ sigas na- turally burst forth, eech to its appropriate object; in theab- sence of a due sense of religious and moral obligation, hu- man laws lost their vital essence and fell into contempt;— excited and exciting in contagious sympathy, the passions willed themselves free, and the duties of society disappeared in its fancied rights. The wretched apostates who had thus- emancipated the passions, and taught the imagination to trick out their attro- cities in the colours of virtue—( a virtue, which every where " did evil that good might come,") now rose to power,— to that eminence, which was to exhibit to the world demonstrations of their folly and madness. They had pledged themselves to ameliorate the condition of man, to diffuse universal and lasting peace throughout the ha- bitable world:-— and they began this great work by voting the Creator, the Preserver, the moral Governor of the Uni- verse, out of his works ! They decreed the abolition of the soul's immortality in " eternal sleep 1"— What else could follow all this, but war, civil aud national !— What is war, but the action of the selfish and destructive passions, however modified in system or coloured by pre- tence?— They who had ail along ( if we may apply the humble saying) reckoned without their Host, now, sunk in egotism, proceeded to try the effect of political fabrics founded in irreligion !— ignorant, that laws are wise only in jropoi tion as they are adapted to the nature of man, and that they derive their vital essence and efficiency from those mo- ral and religious principles— the consciousness of which in those for whom they are framed,, gives the power'necessary to their enforcement.— Totally deficient as they were in this ital principle, their Constitutions proved but as cobwebs to the tiger. The most horrible anarchy that ever afflicted a nation, prevailed, till those who survived it became sen- sible, that men are fitted for an increase of liberty in propor- tion not to their sensual but moral refinement, ant! that the quantity of moral depravity brought into action, gave the measure of th » power necessary to restrain it. Hence the necessity of their sheltering themselves under a military des- potism ten times mere rigorous than that which they had de- stroyed. But the evil was not cured by compression. Like foul and pestilent vapours condensed into a thunder cloud, it became an engine in the hand of Providence for the pun- ishment of other nations, itself still self- punished. Wherever attracted by congenial profligacy and treachery, there it fell heaviest and was longest felt—— because a proportionate weight and length of suffering was there necessary to the revival of moral and religious integrity, and that loyalty which results from the manly love of social virtue, whose great object is social happiness. Neither the limits of a newspaper, ourtime. nor our abili- ties, are sufficient to do justice to this vast subject. But us a day has been, very properly, set apart for devout Thanksgiving to Almighty God, for our Deliverance from that scourge which has afflicted the nations, these hints and the occasion may lead others to consider the essential causes of national revolution and subjugation, ( which include all that is horrible in human misery) and themennsof prevent- ing them. The magnanimity, the self- devotion of virtue eon- stitues that power in a state, which is unconquerable from without or within';— it counteracts whatever has a tendency to dissolve society or paralize its energies. This alone con- stitutes that exalted character in a people which at once awes, purges, and invigorates a government. This sublime spirit is infused by religion alone— essential, substantial, manly religion. The nation that fears God, can have no other fear. That the English nation has manifested firmness enough to persevere, till the danger has passed by— that we have been preserved from treachery and conquest— our land unstained with blood— the sanctuaries of our social virtues unpoluted with dishonour, we owe to a constitution whichrin this severe ordeal, has provedits excellence— to a King who, surrounding himself with counsellors firm and presevering like himself, took his statnj* upon principles of everlasting truth ; and, we must believe also, to that portion of religious integrity diffused throughout the nation, which has never ceased to recognise in the cloud and in the flame, the Hand which purifies by affliction. The share of this nation's sufferings has been comparatively small, yet it has been chiefly in that way which we are but too apt to feel— in our riches. And while we have acquired more than mor- tal honour, in being reserved to become the chief scourge of the scourger, the refuge of the oppressed, the example and the champion of integrity, our religiousness, as a na- tion, has improved and extended.— Witness the increased activity of the Society for the promotion of Christian Know- ledge, the Bible Societies, tie plans for the religious edu- cation of the poor, the increased and increasing number of charitable institutions, together with that soberness, deco- rum, and disposition to serious reflexion, which have very obviously improved and extended among us within the last twenty years. To these blessings may we soon add that of a secure and lasting peace;— and when it comes, may we never forget, that in the abuse of " peace and plenty," we sow the seeds of national affliction. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Jan. 4. COLONIAL DEPARTMENT— Downing- street, January 4. A dispatch from Lieut.- Gen. Sir George Prevost, bart. Head- Quarters, La Chine, Nov. 15, 1813. MY LORD,— Major- General Wilkinson left Grenadier Island, on Lake Ontario, oil the 3tith ult with ten thousand men in small craft and batteaux, and proceeded down ( he St. Laurence, in order to co- operate with. Major- General Hampton in the in vasion of Lower Canada, and for the avowed purpose of taking up his winter- quaiters at Montreal ; having on the 31st halted a few milts below Gravelly Point, on the south side of the river, hi . position was on the following day reconnoitered and after- wards cannonaded by a division of pun- boats, under the com- mand of Captain Mulca-. ter, of the Royal Navy. By eeping close to his own shore, the enemy arrived, on the fth instant, within six milts of the port of Prescott, which he end avonred to pass unobserved during the night uf the 7th ; but the vigilance of Lieutenant- Colonel Pearson, who commands there, frustrated attempt, and the American armada was obliged to sustain a heavy and destructive Cannonade during the whole of that, operation. Having anticipated thaj possibility of the American Govern-- ment sending its whole concentrated force from Lake Ontario,., towards this part of his Majesty's territory, I had ordered a corps of observation, consisting of the 49th regiment, 2d battalion of the 89th regiment, and three companies of voltigeurs, with a di- vision of gun- boats, the whole to be placed under the command- of Lieutenant- Colonel Morrison of the 83th regiment, to follow the movements of Major- General Wilkinson's army, as soon as^ they should be ascertained to poist to this quarter, thavf - the satisfaction of transmitting to your Lordship copy of a re- port made by lieutenant- Colonel Morrison to Major- General De Rottenberg, containing the details of an attack upon the corps of observation placed under his command, by a port of the American force under Brigadier- General Boyd, amounting to near four thousand men, which terminated in the complete repulse and < 1< k feat of the enemy, with very considerable loss ; upwards of one hundred prisoners, together with a field- piece remained in our possession; and, as 1 understand that more then one hundred were found dead on the field, their tote! ioss, in kdied, w ounded, and prisoners, could not be less than eight hundred men. The, consequence of this gallant ati'air, which reflects sueh high credit on all the officers and men engaged in it, and particularly on Lieutenant- Colonel Morrison, for the skill and judgement mani- fested by him in his choice of position, and for the coolness and intrepidity with which he maintained it, has been, that the enemy, disheartened by their losses and ill success, le- embarked thi whole of their forces on the 13th, and crossed to St. liegis and. Salmon River on their own shore, not leaving a man in our ter- ritory, excepting such as were prisoners. It is yet uncertain whether General Wilkinson means to prosa-. cute, bis original intention, of proceeding in his small craft and boats from Salmon river to Montreal, or to unite his troops with those under Major- Genera 1 Hampton, and attempt to advance into the province by the Chateaugay River, when he retreated to Plattsburg, immediately after the disgraceful defeat he lately ex-, perienced ; but the state of the weather is becoming so highly un- favourable. to combined operations, that unless General Wilkinson, in a very few ( lavs, succeeds in forcing the positions 1 have caused to be occupied in the Rapids of the Coteau de Lac, 3nd on the Beauharnois Channel, which I have no reason to expect he will do, or that he can make his way iato- tbe province by either of the other routes Ibaie mentioned, which I think very improbable, the American army must soon be compelled, by the severity of the season, to go into winter quarters, and to abandon all thought of the conquest of Canada for this campaign. I have also the honour of transmitting to your Lordship copy of a letter, with its incisures therein referred to, addressed to Major- Gen. de Rot- tenburg by Lieutenant- Col. Morrison, in which you will see a fur- ther proof of the vigilance and activity of that officer, in execu- ting the duty with which he has been entrusted ; and I have the further pleasure to report to your Lordship, that a thirteen- inch iron, and a ten- inch brass mortar, with their stores, and a large supply of provisions, deposited by the Americans at Ogdensburg, have been brought away from thence by Captain MUlcaster, the navy, and landed at Prescott. 1 have again witnessed, with peculiar satisfaction, the loyalty aud active zeal with which all classes have been animated in their endeavours to oppose the threatened invasion of the enemy, aud which I have great pleasure in reporting to your Lordship. I have the honour to be, ftc. ( Signed GEORGE PREVOST. Return of killed, wounded, and missing.

REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMITTEE, From its Commencement, 17th Sept. 1813, to 4th Jan. 1814. THE Committee have directed their unremitted atten- tion to the measures required for supporting the establish- ment in its present state, and for accelerating- its ulterior objects. They submit to the Proprietors a report of their proceedings. The election of sub- committees in the first instance appeared desirable, that numerous subjects might be under investigation at the same moment; and the general committee might thus com- bine promptitude with deliberation. Sub- committees were in consequence chosen, To superintend the funds, the income and expenditure, the vesting and application of monies, and the examination of Accounts: To provide a house ( or apartments) for the Institution : To select books and maps for the library and reading- room: To purchase looks: To prepare rules for the management of the library and the circulation of books ; and To recommend a librarian for immediate purposes. The Committee for Regulating the Funds reported to the ge- neral committee, on the 4th day of January, that fifty- four Pro- prietors had paid the whole, and seventy- six the moieties of their several shares, with the first year's subscription. That the sum received to the 4th day of January, amounted to £ 2560. From this fund £ 2,000 had been vested in exchequer bills : from the residue various accounts had been satisfied; and £ 496 remained in the hands of the bankers. The House- cOmmittee, after having provided temporary apart- mentS; suggested that Courtenay- House would be an advan- tageous purchase. On their report, a general meeting of Pro- prietors sanctioned the arrangement, which the committee have completed. Immediate possession cannot be obtained, but plant and de- tails of alterations are preparing calculated to accommodate the Proprietors, at a moderate expence, with spacious apartments and galleries, for reading- rooms, library, lecture- room, and museum. It is expected that a part of the house will be ready toreceive the Proprietors at an early period of the spring. Tfte committee for selecting boohs subdivided the various branches of science and literature into the following classes :— Theology and Ecclesiastical History Government' Politics, mnd Jurisprudence; Mental and Moral Philosophy, Metaphy- sics, and Education j Natural History; Natural Philosophy, and Mathematics ; Fine Arts, Poetry, Elegant and Miscellaneous Literature; Geography, Voyages, and Travels; Ancient His- tory • Modern History:; British History ; and British and General Biography ; the class of Antiquities was suspended. Lists in each class have been matured and approved by the general committee j but no books for the Library have yet been purchased. Tor the Reading- room, recent publications have been supplied, as enumerated below. Recomendations, from the several Committees, for regulating the Library and Circulation of Boohs, have been adopted by the General Committee. The rules subjoined, and the nomina- tion of a Librarian have been also approved. The Librarian will reside in the house on its completion ; aud during the interval, will attend at the present apartments, to deliver and receive books, from 12 until 3 daily. The commencement of the delive- ry will be on Monday Jan. 24. The appointment^ a Committee for superintending the mu- seum, has been delayed- solely from the circumstance that the Institution po.- sesses no situation sufficiently secure fot deposit- ing and preserving specimens, until the house is prepared.— Bo- nations in this branch have been received and numerous jm portant and interesting subjects ar<* offered.— From Dr. Leach ( a Proprietor, one of the curators of the British Museum,) who has already made valuable Contributions, the Institution will de- rive important assistance in this department. To the books of proceedings in the temporary reading- room, the Proprietors are referred for more minute details. The Committee, before they terminate this report, announce with high satisfaction liberal donations of books, and anticipate the continuance of similar contributions.— Presents to the Insti- tution will be always acceptable ; Books, Specimens in Natural History, local or general, Medals, Coins, Pictures, Drawings, Engravings, Manuscripts, or any other objects conducive to establish a respectable library and an useful museum. A few months only have passed since this design originated The Committee congratulate the proprietors on its rapid ad- vancement and cherish the warmest expectations, that, in its progress to maturity, the Devon and Exeter Institution will as- sume an elevated rank among the numerous establishments which improve and animate the western counties.

Supply of Wheat was pretty g'oxxi, but the demand was fully equal to it; and fine samples were about 2s. per quarter dearer than on this day se'nnight, bfit. the sales Were dull at the close of the Market. Barley and Malt were in short supply ; and fine samples of each • were in brisk demand, and from Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer.— Pease ofeach kind are dull in sale, and about 2s. per quarter lower. Beans, both old and new, fully support our last quotation. The • supply of Oats siji. ee last Monday has been rather short, but as • the foggy weather has prevented the lig- htermen from working, the demand has been also small; hence we do not quote the pri- ces higher, but fine heavy samples sell very readily-. Flour is dearer. Wednesday.— We had a good supply of Oats this morning from Lincolnshire, but owing to the present state of the weather there was but little doing; the prices the same as on Monday.— " l- ine samples of Wheat may be considered Is. and of Barley 2s. dearer. Tick Beans have advanced Is. per quarter. Boiling and Grey Pease remain the same. At the closo of the Market on Monday, Flour advanced 5s. per sack. , Friday.— The supply of Wheat since Monday having been very trifling, has occasioned ready sale for that article at an advance of is per quarter. Barley is Is per quarter dearer, and sells freely, the quantity at market being small. Having a large arrival of Oats, and not many buyers, the sales were heavy at a reduction of Is per quarter.

CORN MEASURES, in the North of Devon.— We are in- debted to the kindness of a verv respectable gentleman in the North of Devon, for the following account of the various corn measures in use in that quarter. " The ti ue Winchester peck or bushel is not used or conformed to in the markets of either of the following towns, viz : South Molton, Barnstaple, Bideford, or Torrington. South Molton measure is the nearest to Winchester. The Barnstaple measure ( peck) contains more then that of South Molton, in the proportion of about one on. twenty. The IIide- ford peek is still larger, and filled with the heap, that is, with as much as will stand above the top of it,— not stricken ; so that the bushel here is found to contain nine gallons. The Torrington measure is still larger; but to what extent, our correspondent has not ascertained."— In the absence of this information, our last week's statement of corn prices at Torrington was incorrect. And what but error and inconvenience can arise on all hands, from the. use of such various and uncertain measures?— We truSt our regular correspondents, in those towns, will be as precise and explicit as possible in their future statements;— and at the same time, we submit it to the considi ration of all sensible per- sons, whether the adoption in those towns of the legal standard, and a strict conformity to it in future, would not prove a be- nefit generally to buyers and sellers.

LE GRICE. In choral bands, ye festive throng', Weave the gay dance, and raise the song, Fill high the circulating glass, Add bid the u electric ruby'' pass !— Hush'd is each boding fear of ill, The anxious sigh of care is still; Present is the promised pleasure, Circling suns have fill'd their measure, And blest is Albion in the happy hour, Which marks the blooming of her fairest Flower,. Hail the day I a date of glory ! Hail the Maid, whose future story Shall rival great EMMA'S name, And mingle with an ANNA'S fame, The Diadem's imperial rays, The emerald's green, and sapphire's blaze, Are wont with purer light to glow, When radiant from a Virgin's brow ; The dove- wing'd Sceptre claims an holier. sway, And proud submission triumphs to obey. For, waiting Beauty's soft command. Love, Awe, and Admiration stand ; Sweet influence the Graces shower, And Virtue owns a Sister Power j While Chivalry his gauntlet throws In challenge vain for inmate foes, And calls on Peace with sweet employ Thro' cottaged vales to tune her joy ; 1 Or, if the foreign trump of War he hear, Uplifts his shield, and points his guardian spear. So bright, O Charlotte, are the views, Which burst on the prophetic Muse.— Windsor, thy forest's mighty shade Shall ne'er embower so fair a Maid, Until—( and every Britons prayer Breathes wishes for the future Pair) Until of Her's and Nassau's love United bliss the union prove, 1 And give th' admiring world renewed to see Our CHARLOTTE'S virtues in her progeny, To the. Editor of the Western Luminary, SIR— Through the medium of your paper, allow me to correct rertain misrepresentations which I find are circulated to my pre. judice. I allude to palpable mistatemeuts of my opinions. I nnderstand that I have been represented as pronouncing the pro- fessional characters of Exeter, as being incapable of teaching} and of attaching blame to the Organist, for a want of attention to the Choir of our Cathedral, & c. & c.— As this is npt the place to enter fully into details, I shall most readily give any person every explanation in my power, that may be wished, on topics of the above nature. I feel it however incumbent on me thus publicly to give the lie to- all such defamatory aspersions, the mo- tive of which appears to be an endeavour to impede the diffusion of my Musical and Poetical Principles.— My system of Musical I duration differs indeed materially from that hitherto taught in this city, and I most cheirfaliy leave it to the public to judge between us which is preferable, and likewise easiest of attainment. All I request is a patient hearing, and this 1 trust no independent friend to Music and Poetry will refuse me.— In pursuing what I consider a laudable and important design, I may perhaps, unin- tenionally, have given umbrage to a few individuals, but in the prosecution of my object it will be my study to excite no un- pleasant feelings in the mind of any one ; and I trust that, all party feelings will be absorbed in the great object of advancing the interest of our divine science.— 1 can truly say that I desire no otte r verdict to he passed on my Lectures than such as are accord nt with truth and the genuine sense of those who have or may honour me with their attendance ; for though I might refer to many flattering testimonies from eminent professional charac- ters in the metropolis, and to my own unremitted devotion to Mu- sic for twenty years, 1 cheerfully rest my claims to approbation on the solidity and originality of my principles, anil the candour of my felloji citizens ; not doubting but they will '' speak of me an I am." I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOSEPH KEMP, Mus, Doc, Exeter, 5ti January, 1814. THE KING.— On the' 2d inst the monthly report of the state of the King's health was exhibited at St. James's Palace:— " Windsor Castle, January 1. His Majesty's bodily health continues to be good, but his disorder is undiminished." The Prince Regent passed the last week at Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Portland, where, with the Duke of York, lie stood sponsor to the infant Marquis of Granby, who waschristened George John Frederick.— Some idea of the festivities may be formed by the quantum of punch drank in the hall, which flowed from a silver cistern of 60 gallons measure. The Prince Regent was to sleep last night at the Bishop of Lincoln's, at Buckden Palace.— The Prin- cess Charlotte kept her birth- day at her Royal mother's in Connaught- place. The Duke ot Clarence lias left town, to embark for Hol- land ; from whence the Earl of Yarmouth has just arrived. Sittings appointed in Middlesex and London, before the Right Hon.

Monday - • Feb. - 1 | Tuesday - - - - Feb. 15 friday morning about four o'clock a fire broke out at the mansion of Lord Charles Spencer, at Wheatfield, Oxford- shire ; and although every possible assistance was procured, the whole of that elegant fabric was destroyed. The greater part of the furniture, books, and paintings, were preserved, the cause has not yet being ascertained. A fire happened on Sunday, at Swithamley hall, near Leek, Staffordshire, the seat of E. T. Nicolls, esq. who, with his lady and family, is now in Cornwall, on account of ill health. The lire broke out in the cheese- room in the attic story, where one of the servants in the morning had made a fire, but had not placed a lender before it. The old part of the Ifetfse is entirely, consumed, but the new buildings lately ererled have suffered no injury. The damage is estimated at from 2 to 3000/, Postscript. EXETER, Tuesday Morning, Jan. 11. Our last night's express from London, brought nothing later from the seat of war, than Will be found in our second Page.— It is the Count de Chabanes ( allied to the first fa- milies in England and France) who arrived on Thursday and immediately waited upon Louis XVIII. The Lady of a British Colonel, now a prisoner in France, writes to her relation, that on her journey through a great part of that country the towns appear literally deserted, ow- ing chiefly to the ravages of the oonscription. A letter from Friburg, dated Dec. 25, says,-—" Three days have elapsed since we received positive information of the eutrance of the Allied Armies into France. We have now the happiness of seeing within our walls our former good Monarch, the Imperial Francis. The Emperor Alex- ander is also with us, and we are every day- expecting his Majesty the King of Prussia, and with him several of the German Princes of the highest rank and consideration." Private advices from Penang confirm the report of the ship Asia, of Bombay, in the Eastern Seas, on her return to Bombay from Batavia. This ship, it seems, shortly after quitting the latter port, had encountered a violent gale of wind off'Java Head, by which her main and mizen- masts were carried away ; and the vessel becoming quite unman ageable, with a leak increasing fast upon her, the Officers and creU' were obliged, for their own preservation, to aban- don her, and betake themselves to the boats. Captain Stew- art, the First and Second Officers and an European passan- ger from Batavia, embarked in the long- boat, and Mr. Paton, the third Officer, in the cutter; and scarcely had they quitted the ship, when she sunk. To this story, the same accounts add the disstressing information, that, on the 13th April, the Seacunnies, in conjunction with four Malays and a Caffree, rose on the Europeans in tho long- boat, and put every man of them to death. They afterwards removed Mr. Paton from the cutter, and compelled him to take charge of the long- boat, iu which they arrived at Poolo Bouton, where meeting fortunately with some prows belong- ing to tho Kirig of' Quedah they were conveyed to that place, and from thence sent on to Penang. Colonel M'Bean, with the detachments of the Royals and 88th Regiments under his command, landed at Que- bec on the 3d ult. without a single man on the sick report. The men remain at Quebec— the Officers proceed immer diately to join their regiments at Kingston, More than half the Privates of the Bedford Militia have volunteered into the Line on the present occasion. Saturday the 78th regiment embarked at Aberdeen, for actual service in Holland, Friday morning the remainder of the volunteers who have enlisted o » t of various regiments of militia into the regulars, left London for Rahisgate and Margate, from Whence they are to embark for their respective regiments now in Holland. We have to relate a most awful interposition of Providence on the blasphemy of a man, who, from the constant vollies of oaths whioh fell from his mouth, was nicknamed Thun- der, He was, la^ t week, in a village near Wolverhampton, proceeding in his usual habits of cursing and swearing, when iie was instantly struck motionless and speechless to the ground, in the presence of many beholders. His body was conveyed home in a cart, and he now lingers, a dreadful ex- ample of Divine vengance.— Birmingham Chronicle. The general quarter sessions for Cornwall, commence to- day, at Lostwithiel.

Secretary. " Tq the Honourable the Commons of the Usiited Kingdom of " Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, " The Petition of the undersigned, being Magistrates of the " county qf Devon— sheweth, " That since the Consolidation of County Rates, by the- " Act of the XIIth year qf the reign of his late Majesty, King " George the 2d, their amount has, in the county of Devon, en- '< creased from about .£ 901) to nearly >£ 30,000 a year. That owing to the alterations which, from various circum- " stances, have taken place in the relative value qf property " during a period of 74 years, the assessment to those rates is be* " come extremely unequal ; insomuch that many Estates pay f above five, and some even from ten to fifteen, when others d ® " not pay so much as half of one per cent, of their annual value, " and that there are also fifteen parishes or places, besides va- " rious extra parochial places, without any ground of exemption, '< which do not appear to be rated at all, " That in this unequal distribution the greatest proportion of " the burden falls on those parishes which, from their poverty, " are least able to bear it; or, from their remote situation, derive " least advantage from those oounty establishments by which '< that burden is so materially augmented, We, therefore, the undersigned Magistrates of the county o.£ <' Devon, do humbly entreat your Honourable House to take inti^. " its consideration the application which is now, for the third S< time, made to you in behalf Qf those aggrieved parishes, with " a view to afford them the same relief as in similar cases has been " granted to other counties, by empowering the Magistrates " their General Quarter Sessions, to amend and equalize th » " County Rate."

The bonnet on one side comes down in a square end, and the front is ornamented with white satin ribband, which is so disposed as to have the appearance of a small wreath of white flowers; a white soft ribband tic it in a very full bdw under the chin. Cloth half boots to ' correspond w iih the di- ess. York tan gloves, and a seal skirt muff and tippet, finishes this dress. General Observations.— The hair is worn in very loose curls in front, and twisted up behind a- la- Greeque ; the hind hair is usually suffered to faii in loose curls on the neck. Crops are very little seen. There was an attempt to bring up the fashion of braiding the hair^ in the Grecian style, but it lias not suc- ceeded.— We have no observat ions to make with respect to jew- ellery since last Month. For the Walking costume hair- boots are universal, and cordovan leather is the most general.— For the Carriage costume half- boots are also worn ; but they are in general made to correspond wrth the dress, or if not of the same materials, they are of leather to correspond in colour with the dress.— Fans continue the same as last month.
