Afterwards, in order to silenc this rumour, it was given out lhat he bad heen tecruitin- men for Hie American Government, a proceeding which th Court would not permit. Some days ago, ball- cartridges were given out ti the Gardes du Corps on duty at the Thuilleries, and all tin Colonels of regiments were instructed to obey no commant thai did nnt come lo them directly from the Coinmaudau oflhe place.

The difficulties which press on the American treasury begin to he felt in the derangement of their military preparations. General Mac Arthur has been obliged to abandon an expedition against the hostile Indians, for want of money to pay his troops and procure them subsistence. Letters from Archangel state, that during the whole of last summer, the country round had not been totally free from ice, and a severe ensuing winter is expceled.

The cession > k place in consequence of a treaty between Russia and ussia, to whi'h Austria and Great Britain consented, lere does nol appear to be any- parti'tion, Prussia obtaining : whole. Tl:: se papers are still devoid of any ofiicial exigence from the Congress, and the conjectures in lich they indulge are at variance. An Expedition had iled frotn the Isle of Aix to take possession ofthe Isle of j'. rbou, restored to France by the treaty of Paris.

It appears that the Commission pointed by the King totry the several persons accused of iie crimes, . has published - ils second budget of sentences, iveiity- four individuals of all ranks are condemned to iie, to the galleys, or in pecuniary penalties. Of all ose condemned, the most remarkable is the Ex- Miuister Lieutenant- Geueral O'Donohue, who is to be ed, an inconvenience soon surmounted.-— Here J found the enemy in the occupation of an elevated ridge of h\ nd on the south branch of ihe Saranac, crowned with three strong redoubts and other fifdd- wOrks, and block- houses armed with heavy ordnance, wit h their flotilla at anchor out of gnu shot from tbe shore, i immediately communicated the circumstance to Capt. Downie, who had been recently appointed to command the vessels on Lake Champlaiti, and requested bis co- operaticn ; and in t he mean- tinn batteries were constructed for the guns brought from Ihe rear. On the morning of t be 11 th, our flotilla was seen over the isthmus which joins Cumberland Mead with the main land, steering for Plattsburg Bay. 1 immediately ordered part of . the brigade, under Major- Gen. Robinson, which had been he ught forward, consisting of four light infantry compa- nies, sd batt. 27th and 761 regiments, and Major- General Powcrs's brigade, consisting ofthe 3d, 5th, 1st batt. 27th and 581 h regiments, to force the ford ofthe Saranac, and advance, provided with scaling ladders, to escalade the enemy's works upon the heights: this force was placed under I he command of Major- Gen. Robinson. The batteries opened their fire the instant the ships engaged. It is now, with deep concern, I inform your lordship, that, notwithstanding the intrepid valour with which Captain D'. wnieled bis flotilla into action, my most sanguine hopes of complete success were not long afterwards blasted, by a combination, as it appeared to us, of unfortunate events, to which naval warfare is peculiarly exposed. Scarcely had the troops forced a passage across the Saranac, and ascend- ed the height on which stand the enemy's works, when i had the extreme mortification to hear the shout of victory from Ihe enemy's works, in consequence of the British flag being lowered on board the Confiance and Linnet, and to see our gun- boats seeking their safety in flight. This un looked for event depriving me of Ihe co- operation of the ' fleet, without which the further prosecution of the service was become impracticable. 1 did not hesitate to arrest the course ofthe troops advancing to Ihe attack, because the most complete success would have been unavailing, and the possession of the enemy's works offered 110 advantage to SHREWSBURY, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, J8U.

Pring, relative to the military operations before Plaltsburg, and the naval engagement on Lake Champlain, were published very late on Saturday night, in the London Gazelle. The foi owing will be found to contain their substance; and il is evident, from the imputation ol blame attached lo Sir George Prevost, by the letter of Sir James Yeo, that the conduct of Sir George must undergo thorough investigation before a Court-. VIartial. The total loss of our squadron on the Lake was JL29 men. Sir George Prevost's dispatch is dated Mead Quarters, Plal'sburg, Slat* • New York, Sepi. n, 1814. A tier stating the arrival ofthe reinforcements from tbe Garonne, he says, 1 lost no time in assembling Ihree brigade!-, on the frontiers of Lower Canada, and forming them into a division under the command of Major. Gen. Botteuburg, for the purpose of carrying into - effect ihe Prince Regent'* commands. As tbe troops com enlraied and approached ihe line of separa- tion between this province and the United Stales, the American army abandoned its entrenehed camp on the river Chazy at Champlaiu; a position I immediately seized, and occupied in force on the 3d insl. The following day the whole of the left division advanced to the village ofChazy, w ithout opposition. Oil the 6th the division moved upon Plattsburg, iu two columns, the rich! column led by Major- Gen. Powers's brigade, supported by 4 companies " of I ight Infantry, aud a demi brigade, under the command of Major- Gen. Robinson; the left led by Major- Gen. Brisbane's brigade. The enemy's militia, supported by his regulars, attempted to impede ihe advance of the right column, but were driven before it from all their positions, and the column entered Plattsburg. rI his rapid movement having reversed Ihe strong position taken up by the enemy at • Dead Creek, it wus precipitately abandoned by him,; nd his gun boals alone left to i fend the ford, and lo prevent our : the bridges, which had been imperfectly destioy- Sir George Prevost then states, that he ordered the batte- ries to be dismantled, and the necessary dispositions made for a retreat, & c. & c. [ The foregoing dispatch is addressed to Earl Bathurst.] Admiralty Office, Nov. 26. Copy of a letter from Sir James Yeo, dated H. M. S, Saint Lawrence, Kingston, 24th Sept. 1814, addressed to J. W. Croker, Esq. " SIR-*-! have the honour to'transmit, for the information of the Lords Commissioners ofthe Admiralty, a copy of a letter from Capt. Pring, late Commander of His Majesty's brig Linnet. It appears to me, and I have good reason to believe, that Capt. Downie was urged, and his ship hurried into action before she was in a fit state to meet the enemy. I am also of opinion that there vvas not the least necessity for our squadron giving the enemy such decided advan- tages, by going into their bay to engage them ; even had they been successful, it would not in the least have assisted llie troops in storming the batteries; whereas, had our troops taken their batteries first, it would have obliged the enemy's squadron to quit the bay and/ given ours a fair chance." Substance of Capt. Pfi ig's Letter, dated Plattsburg Bay, Sept. 12:— At the earnest solicitation of Sir George Prevost, every exertion was used to accelerate the armament of the new ship in order to a combined operation of the naval and mili- tary forces on PlaUt burg; and the fleet assembled at Litlle Chazy on the Sth inst. where the supplies for the army were ordered 10 be landed ( a flotilla of gnu boats, under Captain Pring's comthand, having previously taken possession of Isle la. Motte, paroled the militia, and caused a battery to be constructed for the support of their position abreast of Lit lie Chazy) Thel3ect cOufd not move forward, for want of stores for Ihc equipment of the gnus, until ihe llth, at day break ; when we weighed, and at seven were in full view of the enemy's fleet, consisting of a ship, brig, schooner, and one sloop, moored in line, abreast of their encampment, with a division of 5 gun- boats on each flank ; at 40 minutes past seven, after the officers had received their final instructions as to the plan of attack, we made sail in order of battle. Capt. Downie had determined on laying his ship athwart- hause of the enemy's, directing Lieut. M'Ghee, of the Chub, to support me in the Linnet, 4n engaging the brig to the right, and Lieut. Hicks, of the Pinch, with the flotilla of gun- boats, to attack the schooner and sloop on the left of the'enemy* s line. At eight, the enemy's gun- boats and smaller vessels com- menced a heavy and galling tire « n our line ; at ten minutes after eight, the Confiance, having two anchors shot away from her larboard bow, and the wind baffling, was obliged to anchor ( though not in the situation proposed) within two cables' length of her adversary ; the Linnet and Chub soon afterwards took their allotted stations, something short of that distance, when the crews on both aides cheered, aud commenced a spirited and close action ; a short time, however, deprived me of the valuable services of Lieut. M'Ghee, who, from having his cables, bowsprit, and main boom shot away, drifted within the enemy's line, and was obliged to surrender. From the light airs and smoothness of the water, the fire on each side proved very destructive from the commence- ment of the engagement, and, with the exception of the brig, that of the enemy appeared united against the Con- fiance. After two hours severe conflict with our opponent, she cut her cable, run down, and took shelter between the ship and schooner, which enabled us to direct our fire against the division of the enemy's gun- boats, and ship, which had so long annoyed ns during our close engagement with the brig, wiihoul any return on our part; at this tim< the fire of the enemy's ship slackened considerably, having several of her guns dismounted, when she cut her cable and winded her larboard broadside to bear on the Coufiance, who, in vain, endeavoured to effect the same operation ; at 3 3 minutes after ( en, 1 was much distressed to observe tl e Gv ufiance had struck her colours. The whole attention of the enemy's fire then became directed towards the Linnet; the shattered and disabled stale of the masts, sails, rigging, and yards, precluded ihe most distant hope of being able to effect an escape by culling the cable, the result of doing so, I must in a few minutes have been her drifting alongside the I enemy's vessels, close under our lee; but in the hope thai 1 the flotilla of gun- boats, who had abandoned the object I assigned them, would perceive our wants and come to our assistance, which would afford a reasonable prospcet of being towed clear, I determined to resist the then destruc- tive cannonading of the whole of the enemy's fleet, and at the same lime dispatched Lieut, H. Drew, to ascertain the state of the Confiance. At 45 minutes after ten I was apprised of the irreparable loss she had sustained by the death of her brave commander ( whose merits it would lie presumption in me to extol), a> well as the great slaughter which had taken place on board, aud observing from the manoeuvres of the flotilla, that 1 could enjoy uo further expectations of relief, the situation of my gallant comrades,, who had so nobly fought, and were even now fast falling by my side, demanded the surrender of his Majesty's brig entrusted to my command, to prevent a useless waste of valuable lives; and, at Ihe request of the surviving officers aud men, I gave the painful ordeis for the colours to be struck. Lieut. Hicks, of the Finch, had the mortification to strike on a reef of rocks, about the middle of the engagement, which prevented the squadron receiving tbe expectcd assistance of that able officer. Capt. Pring concludes with a well- merited eulogy on the ofli< crs and men engaged in this unfortunate business, and expresses his senue of the kind behaviour of the American naval commander to the surviving officers aud men who were made prisoucis.

At this advanced age, Ihe earthly tabernacle only seemed to totter, whilst the stamina remained in its full vigour; he could accurately relate all the particular circumstances connected with the Scotch rebellion in the year 1745, particularly at the battle of Preston Pans, where he had distinguished him- self as a Bristol Volunteer. At Oodmanston, Dorset, aged 67, the Rev. Edmund Smith, L. L. D. rector of that parish. During upwards of 30 years thai he resided at Godmanstone, he was not absent from his parochial duties three months : in consequence it is said, of his excellent conduct, there was not a dis- senter iu his parish, and scarcely an absentee from the service of the Church. Lately, Thomas Princep, Esq. of Croxall, Derbyshire. He was of the true school of tbe bold English yeoman, A Ninirod at the sports ofthe field— a Prince at the head of his table.— Ilis heart was the seat of the kindliest affec- tions; and his house was the very temple of hospitality.— As an agriculturist, he spared neither labour nor expense in following tbe suggestions of improvement and enquiry ; and in giving efficacy to science. His live stock has for many years ranked among the best and handsomest of the kingdom. In the parish of LIancrchayron, Cardiganshire, Jane Har ry, aged 105 : this venerable matron had at the time of her death 4 children, 33 grand- children, 119 great grand- chil- dren, and 17 great- great- graud- children; she retained the use of her faculties to the last.— Also, in the parish of Llanbadarn- fawr, in the same county, John Davies, aged 108, who for some years past was in the regular habit of repairing to Aberystwith on Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of being shaved : this operation was gratuitously performed, in consideration of the extraordinary age, and cleanly propensity of the sturdy veteran, who walked no less than six miles to and fro for the sake of a smooth chin : be walked erect, and even thrashed wheat within two months of his death. A short time ago, at Langton- le- Morthen, Yorkshire, the old parish clerk, who served the seven following offices76 years, viz. parish clerk, sexton, change- linger, passing- bell- ringer, grave- digger, dog- w lvipper, and bell- man. He never used spectacles; in stature he was nearly six feet; and in his younger days, he reaped, with a sickle, five statute acres of wheat, bunded, bound, and stacked it in five days only, and had lo go from his Work each day four miles. On the 9th inst. at the Poor- House, in Chcadlc, Stafford- shire, Thomas Fisher, in his 99th year. He was one of t hoseVeterans who served nnder General Amhurst, in taking Cape Breton and Louisdiurg, and he particularly distin- guished himself under General Wolfe, at the memorable battle of Quebec. Dr. James Proud Johnson, of this town, has paid into the bank of Messrs. Webb and Co. of Stafford, the sum of Twenty Guineas, being a donation from the benevolent Mr. Webb to the Stafford General Infirmary. A statement ofthe Subscriptions for the relief of the widow of Robert Jones, who lost his life, under the most distressing circumstances, by the falling- iu of a well at Whittfugtou, will be found in a subsequent column; and we trust it will not escape ihe observation of our benevolent readers. The Marquis of Stafford has taken an hotel in Paris for twelve months, and speedily leaves England for thai capital, with the Marchioness and ihe whole of theii family. A French company of Comedians are now traversing our provincial theatres. They lately performed at Chelten- ham with great eclat, and are now upon a visit toWorcester. A very rare bird, the Bay Ibis ( Tantalus Fan cine llus of Linnseus)) was shot a few days ago in Wales, and is now in the possession of Dr. Dyer of Bristol. There is only one other British specimen known to naturalists, aud that was shot September 26th, 1793, while skimming with another over the River Thames between Henley and Reading. The Right Hon. Lord Dudley and Ward has, wilh his accustomed munificence aud regard lo the religious comfoits of liis neighbours, presented £ 2000 towards the erection of a new parish church for ihe town of Dudley. This additional instance of his lordship's beneficence will stiil more endear him to the hearts of every good and pious man, and has furnished an example to the inhabitants of the place, which will, we trust, be. zealously and expeditiously acted upon. The neighbourhood of Dudley is become so populous, that, like many other parts in the manufacturing districts, the churches do not afford accommodation for a tenth part of the resident parishioners. Sir J. Ilcalhcote, Mr. Wedgwood, and other gentle- : n, coal proprietors and manufacturers in Staffordshire, are humanely endeavouring Potteries. to establish an Infirmary in the Lord Casltereagh has frequent conferences wilh the Emperor Alexander— they are said to be quite hand and glove. The Lord Bishop of Ely look the chair of the Society for promoting' Christian Knowledge, at the Combination Room, in Jesus College, on- the 22d inst. From the report ofthe Committee, it appeared that 268 bibles, I7 testaments, and 339 prayer books, had been distributed siv. ee the last report.— A District Committee of this excellent Society is established in Manchester; of which the Earl of Wilton is appointed President. Bible Societies!— The intelligence from the Continent respecting these noble iiYsti tut tons isof a most pleasing » ne? encouraging nature. The Dresden Society is enlarged uito the Saxonian ;' the* BeVlin into the Prussian; the Peters- burgh iulo the Russian. A Society is'abou tto be formed in Warsaw ( for Poland) under the sanction of the Emperor Alexander.— The lale Mr. Martyn's translation of the New Testament into Persian is to he- printed immediately by tbe Russian Society. A manuscript translation ofthe entire Scripture in Turkish l as been discovered iu the library of the University of Leyden, and is removed to Berlin for tliu purpose o? revision and preparation for tl. e press. Mr. Mor- rison's translation of theChineseTeslauient is in circulation, a copy of it has been received by Ihe British and Foreign- Bible Society, and progress is making by Missionaries at both Seramporc and Canton iu a translation of the Old Testament also. In the year 1272, the pay of a labouring man was three half pence a day. iu 1274, ihe price of a Bible willi a commentary, fairly w ritten, was £ 30.— It is further worthy of remark, that, in ihe year 1246, the building of two arches of London bridge cost £ 25 ; five pounds less than ihe value ofa Bible! The second report of the Stafford Auxiliary Bible Society announces that the sum of £ 950 has been remitted to the Parent Society in Loudon during the present year. Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. Mr. Ilocke-.— House- Visitors, Mr. J. Betlon aud Mr. It. Williamson. Bene faction to that Charity. Revel Phillips, Esq. Shiffnal ." £ 10 0 0 We are authorised to state, that the business of Land and Timber Valuing and Surveying, carried on by the late Mi Vickers, of Cranmere, will lie continued by his son, Mr. V. Vickers; and that the Banking Business will be also carried on, as heretofore, in partnership vviih Mr. Pritchard, of Broseley. Our Theatre at this time presents performers of the first respectability and talent ; and the different plays have been produced in such a correct style, as would be credit- able to any town or city— adding to the reputation of the Manager, equally as it proves the ability of the performers. The new piece, The M iller and His Men, was particularly well received last night, and merits public support. The coming of age of Revel Phillips-, jun. Esq. son of Revel Phillips, Esq. of Shiffnal, was celebrated on Satur- day, the 12th lust, in the style of true old English hospital*- ity ami benevolence. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells ; and, about eleven o'clock, a waggon, con- taining one fat sheep spitted for roasting, two sheep cut up for distribution, and 200 small loaves, were drawn to the market- place, in Shiffnal, attended by music, flags,& c. & c. where the two sheep and the loaves were distributed among the poor widows and most indigent families residing in Shift'nal and Park Lane, and a barrel of ale among the spectators. The other slieep was then taken back, attended as before, and roasted in a large meadow opposite to the house. Two hogsheads of beer, named Old Tom and Young Nell, the former 21 and the latter 19 years of age, were tapped upon the occasion: the liquor is described as being in colour like cowslip w ine, clear as ctiryslal, smooth as oil, and little inferior lo brandy in strength;— this was plentifully distributed, with the roasted sheep, among the assembled crowd, which completely filled cveiy avenue leading to t he house. About five o'clock, most, of the neighbouring gentry, with other respectable friends, partook of au excellent dinner, at Mr. Phillips's ; after which the chearful glass was briskly circulated, and the evening spent in that spirit of harmony aud glee which reflects honour 011 the festive board of an English Gentleman. On Monday, a free ball and supper were given hy Mr. R. Phillips, jun. at the Jerningham Arms Inn, which was numerously and respectably" attended ; and the varied amusements of I he merry dance employed the light fantastic toe till a lale hour.— In short, the house of Mr. Phillips ( with the exception of Sunday), presented one continued scene of hospitality and joy until tbe Friday following, when many of ihe tradesmen in Shiffnal dined there, and passed the evening in the most festive manner.— It is with the greatest pleasure we have to observe, that amidst so much gaiety the poor were not forgotten, and that the lence must close our memorial of festivity : j the sum of ten pounds was given to the Vicar « f Wro*: kwar- [ dine, ten pounds to the (' urate of Dawley, and ten pounds to the Curate of Shiffnal, for th'e purpose of purchasing Coals, to be distributed among ihe poor widows and other necessitous persons in llieir respective parishes, during the ensuing winter : ten pounds have also been given to the Salop Infirmary, aud a like sum to the Blind Asylum, at Liverpool. PROPERTY- TAX.— In the House of Lords, on Thurs- day last, the Duke of Norfolk took notice of tlie ciicum- stance of many persons in London having received Properly Tax returns extending to the year 1SI6, though the present Act expires 011 the 5th of April next.— The Earl ot Liver- pool replied, that the notices were mere matters of form, but by no means pie judged the question that would arise as to the expediency of adopting a new measure forthe renewal of that at present existing.— It has been inferred, from his Lordship's reply, that such a new measure is in the con- templation of His Majesty's Ministers. A bill has been brought into Parliament to extend the provisions of the Acts relating to Defective Weights to Defective Measures also: it shortly applies tin? whole pro- visions of ihe Acts of 35th and 37th of the King to ihe latter, as well as to the former object. Value of Land.— Some allotments of Common, belonging to Cardington Inclosure, have been sold by the Commissioner at the rate of £ 75 per acre. A circumstance occurred a few days since; near Ihis town, which, even in a nation of heroes, must lie deemed as novel as it was interesting.— Sir John Hill was seen fox- hunting with six of his sons, four of whom, besides ibe distinguished chief recently added to tlie Peerage, have received titles for gallant achievements in the service of their country. THE MILITIA.— it has been staled, that some of the embodied MILITIA REGIMENTS have expressed their discontent in very plain terms, and that most of them arc somewhat dissatisfied at the present extension of their services. In confirmation of this statement, we extract the following paragraph from the Taunton ( Somersetshire) Courier, of the 18th inst. The judi- cious observations therein contained will receive the approbation of every friend to good order and the welfare of the community :— " We have received a letler from upwards of 200 privates of the First Somerset regiment of Militia, inclosing a petition to their Royal Highnesses the Prince Regent and the Commander- in- Chief, praying to be disembodied. We must decline the insertion of these documents, for obvious reasons. This regiment has conducted itself for nearly twelve years with so much honour, that we should be sorry to find that it had tarnished its character by any irregu- larity in discipline. We trust the time will never come that the army, or any part of it, will ever be a deliberative body, but that it, and especially the First Somerset, will obey the commands of its officers, on all lawful occasions, with cheerfulness and alacrity. We hope the time is not distant when every militiaman will be able to return to his family and his friends, with t lie proud reward of h is own conscience, that he had nobly clone his duty at ihe time his country stood in need of his services." The following is a Copy of a Circular Letter sent by the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the Commanding Officers of those Regiments of British Militia which remain embodied, together with the opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor General therein referred to:— Whitehall, Nov. IS, 1814. " SIR,— Some doubts having been expressed, as to ihe legality of keeping the Militia, or any part of it, embodied, under the present circumstances in which tbe country is placed, the question has been referred for 1 he consideration of his Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor- General, a copy of whose opinion thereon, 1 have tbe honour to inclose. " You will not fail to take the earliest opportunity of communicating the same to the regiment under your command, and you will at the same time explain to the men, that as the Oath taken by the Substitutes and Volun- teers is to serve for five years, or for such further time as the Militia may remain embodied, and not, ( as has been erroneously supposed) during the war, no Substitute or Volunteer is entitled lo his discharge until the Militia shall have been actually disembodied. And yon will add, that although it is ibe unquestionable right of his Majesty to keep the Militia embodied notwithstanding the termination of the war with France, it is nevertheless the Prince Regent's wish and intention to order the disembodying of the remaining regiments, to take place with as little delay as may be consistent with a due regard to the public safety; and lie trusts that until lhat period shall arrive, the conduct of I he men will be marked by lhat steady attention to their duty and lo the commands of their officers, by which it has been uniformly distinguished since they have been embodied. lam, Sir, « SIDMOUTH." " To the Officers commanding those Regiments of British Militia, which remain embodied possessing property Robberies, & c.— To such an alarnrng extent have depredations of every description increased, in this atiil the neighbou ring counties, that our limits no looker enable us to particularise them. We have subjoined a few of these mementos of the bad feature of the times, which we trust will serve as ; i caution to the public at large, who live within t! ie circuit of our Journal, and induce all persons to keep a watchful eye over it: The bridle stolen from ihe stable of Mr. P. ivies, the Fla b, near this town, was found on th<? 8 h inst. on tne prenrses of Thomas WiU: ams, near Glafttanat Lsa, in the parish ot Ljanrhaiadr, iiv Denbigh- hire.— Two constable* from Oswestrv, who had a sus- picion of this man from his description in the advertisements, at- tempted toaoprchcnd hiin :— they proceeded to his bed in liye dark, and laid hold of his shirt, when he sprang from them, escaped thro' a hole in the floor of the room naked ! and absconded. The con- stables remained ; n the vicinity a considerable time afterwards, but wetc unable to find him. On Thursday evening last, abouf nine o'clock, « s a poor woman, named Solcriel, who is- employed as a carrier between Castle Brom- wich and Birmingham, was returning to the former piece, she was overtaken by two * nen ( between the Gate . Public- house, Saltley, and Mr. Hutton's, of Bennett's Hill), who, after passing a short distance, turned hack, and on coming opposite the poor woman* without speaking to her, struck her forcibly with bludgeons on the head, and beat ber in a most barbarous manner; atfer cutt'ng her pocket off, they dragged her info the waggon- road, w here'thev left her. Her head is lacerated most dreadfully ; one mcision,. quite to the bone, is several inches in length, and she is otherwise so dread- fully hurt, that she is not expected to survive. The poor woman must have Iain several hours on the road, as she did not reach Caslle Bromwich until halt pa'.' 3 o'clock in the morning of Friday. Her appearance was dreadful, being covered with blood and dirt.—- The villains took away her ba> kets, with their contents. On the 18th of October, a ladv residing at Putiey- court, near Ledbury, sent a parcel by the Worcester mail, contain ng a draft, wbich was over due, and two ti lls of exchange, from Jamaica, to the amount of upward* of directed to a gentleman in Lin- coln's- inn, London. The parcel om> ht to have arrived on the 19tii in London, but did not do so til! the' 2~ 2d, and then it did not con- tain the bills of exchange. The Bow- street officer employed traced the thief lobe a man named Sheriff, a discarded porter atthe mail coacli- oHiee, Worcester. The parcel had been re- directed, and ihe officer proved it to be the hand- writing of Sher ff. He was on Thursday fully committed by the M- s^ qr of Worcester for the offence. He is suspected of commuting several other robberies in Worcester. Thursday, wa « committed to Exeter Br Jewell, the apprentice girl of Fanner Piles, ot Woodbury, charged ( on her own confession) wilh setting his house on fire on the 4- th - n^ The dwciling- house, furniture, two stacks of corn, farming mens Is, See. were consumed. Tuesday evening, some villains- broke into the premises of N. A. Cope, Fsq. Jones's Cottage, near Devonshire- building--, Bath, and attempted to force the door of an out- building; when, being alarm- ed, one of them proposed ( 0 decamp ; on which Mr. Cone immedi- ately fired his musket loaded vvitb tour pistol bullets, in ihe direction from whence the voice proceeded, and distinctly beard ihe excla- mation, O Ood, I am wounded! No trace, however, of ihe robbers has yet been discovered. Last week, some thieves drove away a c? rav?. n loaded with twist, which was standing in Leigh- slreet, Manchester, and upset it.— Whilst taking the contents, Mr. Nadin got intelligence of tfrr- cir- cumstance, and by securing one of the robbers, he discovered aud took into custody to Ihe number of ten of he gang, who were exa- mined on Saturday, at the New Bailey, and remanded for lurther examination. Caution.— On Friday last, six Irish women and one SVolch woman, were taken before a Magistrate, ( the Rev. I. T. Doveton, at Bagdon, near Bristol), charged on the oath of the overseer of Coinpton- Bishop, with having obtained from him a considerable sum of money, under the pretence of being soldiers*" wives, on their journey from Ireland to Plv mouth. In consequence of a disagreement among themselves, some ot the party voluntarily made oath that their parses were forged, and that they were bought in London, at a fixed sum per hundred, by the leader of their gang,, who called herself Elizabeth Parsons, alias Pheens, alias Nelly Armstrong. It was staled that 100 women of the same description had left Lendon on a similar plan of defrauding the public.— Several of the same company aresnnpo ed to be now in Bris'ol.—. The pas- es were headed " Borough nf Netcty, County of Down, Ireland," and signed Archibald Thompson. The overseer ad- vanced upwards ol fifty- five pounds to these impostors, who were all committed to Ilchester Gaol tor obta- ning money Under fabe pretences, and l'kewise on a strong suspicion of forgery. Lincoln's- Tnn November 17, J814. MY LORD,— We have had the honour to receive your Lordship's letter of yesterday's date, stating that some doubts having been expressed whether the Militia of Great Britain can legally be kept embodied nnder ihc present circumstances in which the country is placed, your Lord- ship is pleased to desire, that we will take into onr imme- diate consideration tbe several Acts relating to the Militia; particularly the 42d Geo 3. cap. 90 and 91 ; and report lo von, for the information of his Royal H ighness the Prince Regent, our opinion whether under any, and what circum- stances, it is imperative upon the King to order the imme- diate disembodying of the Militia. We have accordingly considered the some, and beg leave to report to vonr Lordship, that vve are of opinion, that when once the Militia have been embodied upon the occasions stated in, and according to the provisions of the Acls, there is nothing imperative in the Act, as to the time at or occasion upon which the Militia is to be disembodied : there is a discretion upon the subject of disembodying the Militia, vested in his Majesty, subject always to the responsibility which attaches upon tiie Ministers of his Majesty, if they shall advise hiin to continue t. be Militia embodied when no circumstances exist, in which tbe external relations, or internal situation ofthe country could make the continuance of ihe Militia iu their embodied slate a matter of expedience for the general welfare and benefit of his Majesty's Government and Dominions. It may not be improper > add, that as hy the statute 42 Geo. 3. c. 90, section 111, his Majesly is empowered, in the cases there stated, to embody 44 the whole of the militia force of the country, or so many of the regiments, or such part or proportion of them or any of them, as his Majesly shall in liis wisdom think necessary, and in such manner as shall be best adapted to the circumstances of the danger:" and as by section 144, il is provided 44 that it shall be lawful for his Majesty, from time lo time, as he shall think fit, to disembody any part or proportion of any militia embodied under the act, and from time to time again lo draw out or embody any such militia so embodied, or any proportion thereof, as to his Majesty shall seem necessary." We are of opinion, that if Ihe external and internal situation of the country, shall, al any time, in the judgment of his Majesty, call for and justify a reduction of the Militia Force ofthe Realm, such reduction by disembodying, can be governed only by the sound discretion of his Majesty's Ministers; and that if a partial reduction of some regiments shall at any time be ordered, it by no means follows that anv olher regiments or any person serving in any regiment, not included in his Majesty's order for disembodying, arc entitled to, or can claim to be discharged from service, but that it must be iu tbe discretion of bis Majesty's Govern- ment, acting upon their knowledge of facts, and upon their constitutional responsibility, if they shall see proper, to suspend any order which may have been issued, but not in fact carried into execution. We have, & c. W. G ARROW. Lord Viscount Sidmouth, $ c. S. S11EPH ER D. Princess of Wales, and fix- Empress of France.— The description of an interview between these illustrious personages, which was published lately in the Glasgow Chronicle, and thence copied into nearly all the news- papers in Ihe kingdom, is now stated to be '• entirely erroneous," and 41 a gross misrepresentation of a private and confidential communication."— It is contradicted on Ihe authority of P. Holland, Esq. of Kuutsford, Cheshire, father of !) r. Holland, the medical gentlemau alluded to iu the accouut of the interview. THE HAPPY TRIO. Two ladies abroad, of some little renown, Met a few days ago in lhe very same town ; Where one soon invited the other lo dine, To talk o'er affairs, and hob nob o'er their wine : A Doctor invited, to go was not loth, And his place on a sofa he took between both ; To the Doctor one lady complain'd of her health, Then sitrh'd that her husband was taken by stealth, Compell'd by himself, far remote, to abide, And she own'd that shewish'd to repose by his side. She then to the subject of health turn'd again, Imputing to changes of fortune her pain, Expressing her hopes that the Doctor had skill, To remove all her ills by a potion or pill. T'other lady declared she had no ills at all, And of pleasure intended to keep up the ball; She said thai she too was estrang'd from her mate, But no reason she saw for lamenting her fate. She lik'd not her husband, and he lik'd not her, Aud finding their fends made no longer a stir, She thought the best plan lhat she then could pursue Was at once to bid him nnd his country adieu ; But not till she gain'd, by the aid of some friends, An income sufficient to compass her ends. She own'd from those friends she conceal'd her design. Of taking her leave, lest their zeal might decline, For, indeed, she had reason enough to suppose, They were not friends to her, but ofSpousy the foes j Hence, viewing their conduct, she well might infer That, to serve their own ends, they might turn against her: And, therefore, to ' scape from all danger and scoff, She thought it was really full time to be off. The first lady then felt her spirits grow strong, And said, if they p'leas'd, she would give them a song ; Indeed she sang two, but, what strange must appear, She deelar'd that for music she had not an ear \ Yet after her marriage she thought it but right To learn it, to give 14 her dear husband" delight; For he could enjoy it from midnight to noon, And long had he carried on things » o some tune. Bv this time the Dames in such spirits were set, The Doctor to charm, ihey then sung a duet. The theme of the strain, which ihey sung with much glee Was— 44 How happy are Wive? who from Husbands are free !" The Doctor, transported, resoTv'd to relate, THE MEETING where he was so favoured by fate.£ ( Tbe place was Geneva, ' tis proper to state) ^ To preside o'er his pen he the Muses invokes— Signs an H~ to his. . Story, which means DOCTOR HOAX. • The Duke us Wellington is said ro have remonstrated jucccssfolly against the reception of American armed ves- sels in ttie ports of France: and even against the sending out of French commercial Consuls to the ports of America during our blockade— We remark wilh pleasure in the American papers, the fate of a motion for giving homilies to deserters from our aimy, which was negatived in the House of Representatives hy a majority of 85 to 83, on the ground that it would operate as an encouragement to the commission of crime The speeches of some ofthe leading Federalists shew the miserable opinion entertained of Mr. JMadison's system of policy, and prove that Ihe partial and garbled publication of the official documents from Ghent has not given him a new passport to popularity. Colonel Palmer has given notice, that lie shall, after tlic recess, for reasons involving his own honour, attain bring forward a motion iu the House of Commons respecting Colonel Quint ill. Practice in Chancery.— A new rule has heen laid down bv Ihe Lord Chancellor, viz. " That if, when any cause i « called 011 for hearing, the King's Counsel be absent, or engaged elsewhere, the senior Counsel in the cause, with out Ihe Bar, must open and slate the case ; and in default of such Senior acting, tiie Junior so to do; ami if the Junior Counsel do not proceed, llie Solicitor is to act ; and 011 failure or omission of the Solicitor lo proceed, the cause to be struck out of tbe paper." This rule was in led upon 011 Monday, for the first lime, iu a case in which Sir S Rbmilly, leading Counsel for the plaintiff, was absent. J. J. Chisliolme, late Captain's Clerk of lite Astrea, anrl Lion, who has committed so manv forgeries 011 the Navy, at Plymouth, was, 011 Wednesday last, fully commit- ted to F. xetcr gaol, on several indictments, bv. f Williams, Esq. of Plymouth Dock — VII the troods which he had received at Plymouth Dock, iu pari of payment ot' the said hills were found nt bis lodgings at Shrewsbury, brought to Plymouth Dock by Vickery, and sworn to. He is a fine young man, 24 years of age, respectably connected, and was flinch esteemed in Ihe Navv — London Packet. Summary Justice.— Early in'the morning of the 17th inst. 11 roblier contrived to get in at the drawing- room of Miss Broderick's house, Grosvenor place, London, and had gone down the stairs and opened the street door, for the Mdnii— ion of his accomplices, when he was met by ihe Duller, w ho immediately shot him. The fellow was traced bv his blood nearly as far as Ihe White Horse, Piccadilly. — A man, calling himself John Brown, on Thursday last, applied for admission into the Birmingham Hospital, who had been recently shot iu Ihe fare and side, as he staled, by two footpads in the neighbourhood of Yarmouth, aud who robbed him of £ 75. His person answering the adveitised description of llie man shot by Miss Broderick's butler, information was given to the police ofiicers, aud he was on Saturday conveyed to the prison in Moor- street. A dis- charge from the navy, which was found in liis pocket, has led to ihe discovery of his real name ( Joseph King), and lit lias since acknowledge.') himself lo be the person who attempted the rob'ierv in Miss B.' s house.— In consequence of lb" bail state of his wounds, he has been removed to the Birmingham tvurkhouse. On Monday last, a number of people were looking over the battlement of Ihc Old Bridge, Manchester, and amongst them a woman with a young child in her arms, void", she carelessly holding it, sprang out of her arms into the river. The horror which seized ihe numerous spectators. The shrieks of agonized sympathy- and Ihe feelings of the woman, whose carelessness bail precipitated ibe child . into the rolling flood, fur the swelled river bad been the object of curiosity, may bo much easier conceived than d-' seribed. The poor infant sunk— but a few yards below the place where it fell into the water, it rose again insensible of its nerilons situation, and was floated down by the waves to' Black Friar's ( the wooden) Bridge, where if was happily rescued from the death which had appeared iner table. The poor liltle innocent we are happy to add, notwithstanding the height of the fail, and the distance it flnaied down Ihc rapid stream, was but liltle injured. The following trick was played off in Salford fair on Thursday last:— A young man, who was entrusted with Ihe sale of a horse, was accosted by a man who pretended to want to purchase him. The price was mentioned, and the merits of the animal discussed ; when the pretended purchaser dismounted from a horse lie rode upon, and de- sired tbe young man to hold him whilst be tried the paces of Ihe horse on sale, which had 011 it a good saddle and bridle; he then rode oil'. The seller waited for his chap- man in vain, for several hours, and at last was driven home bv tbe darkness of the night, with the piece of carrion for which lie had exchanged the horse he meant to have sold.

EXTRAORDINARY GENIUS. About the year 1185, Dr. Hornsby, of Oxfotd, gave ftut a nathematicai question in a Magazine, of such magnitude hot he thought it could not he easily answered : it did not nil tothe lot of any of the mathematical schools, nor to any nan of known science'tlierein, to answer it, nor Hid the Doctor hink it an easy task. To his great surprize, however, the inestion wasanswered ( the answer was dated Weston Tunel), On seeing it answered, he made . nqttirles, and found that here wete Westmi- Turvels in several counties in England, > ut could not learn where the. answer tn his question originate • d. A gentleman out of Buckinghamshire dining with the Doctor arid other friends, it occurred to him that there was a We ton Turvel in bis neighbourhood, and he enquired of hint f he knew of any person conversant with mathematics ? The jentl^ man answered that he knew of no one that had a genius Canada.— From the information of a Gentleman just arrived from Canada, we are enabled ( says a paper of Wednesday morning) to give some interesting particu- lars of the late disastrous action 011 Lake Champlain, on the authenticity of which the public may rely : — " On the24th of August, Captain Downie, Ihen serving on Lake Ontario, was appointed by Sir J. Yeo to take the com. mand < J the British squadron on Lake Champlain, where he arrived on the 30th, having previously met Sir George Prevost at Montreal, to concert the plan of a combined operation of the British force by land and water at Pittsburgh, to which place the army was then advancing The frigate, the Con- fiance, in which Captain Downie was to hoist his pendant as Commodore, was launched but a few davs befoie his arrival. Her crew, taken fiom different ships who had never acted together ( and with soldiers who had never served as marines, to make up her complement), was, of course, in a bad state of discipline, deficient also in appointments for the guns, and in no respect fit to combat tbe enemy, consisting of picked men, in a high state of discipline, with their ships moored, and supported by heavy gun- boats, under the protection of land batteries. In these circumstances, Captain Downie in- formed Sir George Prevost, that in his opinion it would he extremely hazardous then to attack theenemv so equipped, and in a position so advantageous. Sir George, in answer, urged Captain Downie to make the attack without delay, S'ating, that he only waited for his attacking the American fleet in the Bay, to enable the aj- mt(, at the same time, to storm the garrison, and their other works on shore Thus repeatedly urged, and with the heavy responsibility attending a refusal to co- operate with the General, Captain Downie had no Al- ternative. On the llth of September, in the morning, he sailed ftith his squadron, and, after animating his men with the assurance that they would be vigorously supported bv the army on shore, he led his ship in Ihe most gallant style, with the intention of laying the enemy on board, but at this critical moment the wind failed, and two anchors were shot from the bows of the Conftance, This unfortunate event compelled him to anchor witli the remaining one at a greater distance from tbe enemy.— The action now commenced on both sides. Soon after, a fatal shot dismounted one of the quarter- deck guns of the Confiance, near which Captain Downie was standing, encouraging all around him. He was Mtuc'k with such violence by the dismounted gnu, that he instantly fell, and in a few minutes expired. The sudden death of their gallant Commander threw an unusual damp on the ship's company; but the honour of the British colours was noblv maintained by his First Lieutenant, Mr. Robertson, who had accompanied him from England. Lieut. Robertson Continued the action with unabated spirit and gallantry, till near the close of tite conflict, when the men, looking in vain from the promised support froin the shore, and the whole of the enemy's fire being now directed 011 the Confiance, refused to stand to their guns. In this hopeless situation, humanity lie least tending to a knowledge either of mathematics or to the survivors, and the deplorable state of the wounded, in " .' . ._ , , . it... .-. v.;. 1., r.. f t ...,. » .. i* » rv\ istrnnnmv. Dr. Hornsby, on his friend's departure, gave him copy of the question, and begaed him to make an enquiry The gentleman alluded to oue day called at a watchmaker's ihnp in Weodnver, Buckinghamshire, to have something done tohis wa'ch; he asked the man if he knew of auy one who understood mathematics in the neighbourhood ; to which lie replied, that a plough- boy of the name of Anderson, at ITeston- green, was an uncommon genius. The gentleman tO' k his morning lounge that way : on entering the green lie Baw the lad coming from the plough, and asked him if his name was Anderson; the bov answered " Yes."—" Do you read or understand astronomy?" to which the boy replied l do not know ;" hut having Dr Hornsby's question in his pocket, he presented it to the boy, asking him if he could answer it— replied he, " I'shave-" aud taking a pencil from the gentleman, re- otved thequestion The above history was related to Dr. Hornsby, and the question presented as answered in tlie Magazine.— The Doctor, animated at the success and astonished with s trprise, exclaimed, " For Heaven's sake, do not let the bov be tost— he has a genius equal to Sir Isaac Newton. What age is he About sixteen." " My dear K— g," said Dr. Ilornsby, " do what yon can, and let him come to Oxford ;" w hich was put into execution in a masterly manner. A inscription was set on foot, which succeeded ; and, patron- zed bv some great characters in the county, he was sent to CKrlet Church school, where he went through an education of the c'assics, &, c. & c. and was afterwards entered at Wadham llpirp- where, pursuing ttje studies of his genius, whii h were highly satisfactory to the University, he was considered as a national prodigy. Soon after Mr P— tt came into administration, be much wanted to strengthen his power; and sent fur the Hon Mr. G lie ( now Lord G lie), as a man of ability at that time leaving Oxford; who finding Mr. P— tt was destituteof plodding characters, antl that the clever men of lhat sort had deserted him, thought of Mr. Anderson, ( he youth alluded to, and solicited him to become his secretary ; who. • being equal to all their wants, was employed to form the budget yearly, and was likewise appointed public auditor to • the East. India Company, under Mr. D— as ( afterwards Lord M HP). IU the above capacity he discharged his duty with faithfulness, and to the wonder of all who knew him; which were very few, as his employers, knowing his value took care to keep snch merit to themselves. The late Mr. li—!< e, in convert alien, said to me, he was astonished how Mr - p tt and the men in power got through the public busine.- s, as most of the clever men in that department had desert » d them : to which I replied, that it was easily accounted for—- they havingtoch aid 05 no statesmen ever hail befoie. I then related the lustnry of Mr. Andetson, as stated above, which, on enquiry, MivB— ke found to be correct. About thpfear H96- 6, he died, of an inflammation of the hiain- not to. be wondered at, from the influx of busines- which'none were able to execute but himself. A letter was sent to Lord M He, informing him of his death, which was sudden, his illness not being ot more than four and- tiventy hours' duration : in answer to it, he say's, " the lossof Mr. Anderson is to tif a distressing circumstance, vet more so in a public capacity, I here enclose to Mrs. Anderson a note of j; IOO, which I hope will be a relief in case of need until I can see her," and to the credit of his Lordship, he procured for her two hundred a year for life. He died without issue, and was buried in Mary la- bonne chutch yard, where a stone is erected to his memory. It is much to he regretted that a genius, a similar one to which a whole century has not produced, should have been so litt. e known. K c. consequents of the ship being full of water, compelled him reluctantly to stride, but it was tome time before the enemy were in a condition to take possession of their prize. Of the conduct of Sir George Prevost, in thus abandoning the British squadron to its fate, without even making an attempt to stoim the enetny's wotks, there is but one opinion. The most distinguished of his own otneets were decidely of opinion, that, with his powerful force, he might bave stormed a nil captured the whole ofthe American garrison at Plattsburgh, with as tittle loss as he sustaitied in his precipitate retreat." A letter from Quebec, dated the 9th of October, broffglit home in the Antelope, thus explains the cause of Sir George Prevost's retreat from Plattsburgh :— " This unfortunate resolve was produced by a stale ruse de Stten'e, which caught our Commander— that of placing dis- patches m his way, purporting to bave come from the Ameri- can General Ir. ard, stating that 8000 men, with artillery, would join the forcpson La'keChamplain in a few hoursafter the dispatches would be received. Immediately afler Sir George had viewed their contents, he dispatched an Aide- de- Catnp to the Officer who was carrying on the operations against Plattsburgh, desiring him to desist, and commence a retreat." ANCIENT WIT.—" What a jest. is. A jest is lite bebling vp of wit. It is a bavin, which being well kindled, maintaines for a short time, the Iteate of laugh- ter. 11 is a weapon, wherewith a foole does oftentimes fight, antl a wise man defends himself by. it is the food of good companie, if it be seasoned with iudge- nient; but if with too much tartnesse, it is hardly digested but turnes lo quarrel. A jest is tried as powder is ; the most sudden is llie best. It is a nterrie gentleman, and hath a brother so like him, that many take them for twins: ( or the one is a jest spoken, the other is a jest done. " A gentlewoman comming to one thai stood at a window reading a booke; Sir, ( sayd she) 1 would 1 were • your booke ( because site lotted the gentleman). So would 1, ( quolhe he) 1 wish you were. Bui what booke would you have me io be, ( sayd the other) if 1 Mere lo be so ! Marry, an. Almanackc, ( quothe the gentleman) because 1 would change every yeare.". The Indian boundary line, contended for by Great Britain, is strictly according to the Treaty of Grenville, entered rfllo by the Americans with the poor Indians, but which the former have always shamefully evaded bv the most wanton aggressions and encroachments. The country is not within Ihe Union, and therefore does not form any inlergal part of the Thirteen States, aud consequently does not require an act of Congress to authorise the President to enter into arrangements respecting it. It is a perfectly independent territory, belonging to the natives; and why they should not be considered an independent people, capable of maintain- ing civil and political relations, like other States, it is difficult to conjecture, unless according lo the new reading given by the Madisonian Cabinet of the Law of Nations, which in this instance, as well as most others, they bave most barefacedly perverted to their own views. In the present instance, Ihe wish of Go- vernment is, only to secure the integrity and indepen- dence of the Indian country alluded to, anil fo become, by Treaty, ils Guarantee; the nececssity of which is universaliy felt throughout British America. Many have suffered from Hie want of that guarantee, both Indians and British ; particularly the Members of the lale Michtlimakinac Company, from the tyranny, fraud, and spoliation of the citizens of the United States. The seizure of the boats audi tilings of that Company, in 180T, is one of many instances we could mention. For that wanton seizure, in a time of profound peace, of the property of tbe King's subjects, uo atonement or satisfaction has been made. If the line of boundary is not obtained and guaranteed, the British right of navi- gating the Mississippi will, as under the Treaty of 1T83, be nugatory. Among ihe passengers landed at Torbay from on board Ihe Fingal, from America, on Saturday, was a Dissenting Minister, who has been fifteen years in America, and the two last years has been confined and treated very ill by litem, 011 account of some religious principles. As soon as the boat touched here, be leaped on shore, knelt down on the beach, and wilh his eyes and hands lilted up to Heaven, prayed in the most devout and solemn manner, then kissed the ground, and blessed our land of liberty. AMEIIICAN WAR.— Wc are happy to find that the most vigorous and unremitting exertions are employed to expedite such a force to America as in all human probability will speedily bring the war to a termination.— It was the practice formerly, in this country, to calculate to half a pound of gunpowder, nay to half a man, the precise means aud force with which tin aggressor should be met— aud so generous were we, tbat the odd half man was generally thrown into the enemy's scale, ttiat we might have the credit of beating him wilh an inferior force. This system, we are happy to find, is now abandoned ; and, as the most certain, and at ttie same time ttie cheapest in the end, such a fotce will be employed in all our future contests, as may speedily bring the matter in dispute to an issue. Orders have been issued to our fleet on the American coast lo destroy every vessel that tiie capturing - Com- manders may not deem of sufficient value to send into port. Charge 1if Murder.— On Saturday, the Lords of the Council met to investigate a charge of murder in Portugal The accused belonged to the Commissariat Department, in Lord Wellington's army, and is charged with shooting a fe- male with a pistol. Three witnesses stated, that the prisoner, after he had shot the deceased, bad cut his own throat, from tite effect's of which be had hut recently recovered. The defence set up by the prisoner was romantic in the extreme. He stated, that the deceased cohabited with a person in the same department, during which time a mutual attachment took place tietweeti her and himself ; but a strict sense of honour forbad he'r quitting lhat person's protection, even though he offered her marriage; they therefore determined, since honour prevented their forming any connection in life, to die together, and he accordingly shot her. He then pre- pared to dispatch himself; but finding the bullet he had provided was too large for the pistol, he placed it npon his head, and fired the pistol against it, supposing that would effect his purpose ; but finding himself mistaken, he cut his throat, and this also proved ineffectual. The case occupied their Lordships from one till three o'clock ; when the prisoner was remanded to Tothill- fields Bridewell. Thursday last, about three o'clock, at the sale of the household furniture of the late Mr. Justice Lawrence, in Bedford- square, London, Mr. Mills, of Farringdon, a magistrate for the county of Berks, purchased a lot, but on putting his hand into his pocket for liis pocket book, he discovered that tite bottom of his pocket had been cut out, and his pocket- book gone ; he mentioned ihe circumstance to several persons near, and had 110 doubt but it had been done since he had been in the room ; one of the persons happened to be Vattghan, a patrole belonging to Bow- Street Oflice, who desired Mr. Mills to be quiet, and he should be able to detect the robber, as he Itad seen three men in the room whom he suspected to he thieves, and was about lo make arrangements with the porters to shut all the doors, but another gentleman in the room discovering that he had been rifled at the same instant, he communicated the circumstance to the clerk, and he mentioned it to Mr. Squibb, the auctioneer, who proclaimed, from his rostrum, that there were thieves in tbe room; which being crowded, two of the suspected characters unfor- tunately escaped. Vaughan secured the third man, and took him to Bow- street office, when he gave in his name as ttichard Hurd, but he was recognized to have gone by the name of Wilson, and he had lately been in custody at Portsmouth and Doncaster as a reputed thief— He was committed for further examination. On Tuesday, Mr. Green, of Walbrook, exhibited a complaint at Queen- square Office against the neighbour- hood of Great St. Anne's lane, Westminster, of an immense combination of people having got possession of fourteen houses belonging to his father, and of having kept violent possession of them for two years. The ground was the freehold property of Mr. Green's father, was let to a Mr. Cnrrip, who built fourteen houses on the same ; and the said Currie about seven veais since became a bankrupt.. Since then the property re- mained vacant till about two years since, when it was ru- moured that the houses tiad no owner, and would belong to those who could first get possession of them. Immediately there was a scramble amongst all the sturdy old women for prizes, and all the houses soon possessed tenants, and almost as soon lodgings to let for sing! e men graced everv window.— Mr. Green having re- purchased the lease, and made o'her arrangements with the assignees, appeared, with a number of officers, to take possession of his father's propetty ; but the possessors deeming " possession nine points of the law," made a most desperate resistance; for, agreeably to the signal given by Elizabeth Oates, the doors were barricadowl, and the lower windows bolted. All appeared at the fi. st floor windows, putting Mr Green's pesse at defiance, and calling on him to shew his light to the premises. Mr. G. immedt ately had the doors broken open, and afterwards brought up Mrs. Oates, accompanied by the sturdiest of her adherents. After they had spoken most vehemently of Mr. G.' s intrusive conduct, and on their law that possession proved right, they had a lecture from Mr. Fielding, when they were read* enough to make concession, and give up the houses, as tiny at least could establi- h uo claim All agreed to quit in two days, on which Mr. O. abandoned further proceedings. THE ELECTIVE CHAIR.— Harcourl v. Bates.— In tin- Coutt t King's Bent h on Monday, Mr. P. ak- 111.. ved for a rule to snew ca. ise why the venue in this case should not be chanced from Middlesex to Hereford. It was an action brought by plaintiff, who is a Member of Parliament, to re cover possession of the chair in which he was chaired at the conclusion of the late General Election. This chair had been purchased by the defendant from the persons who carried tbe plaintiff, who conceived it was their property hy prescriptive usage. The plaintiff, however, having placed considerable value on the chair, resisted this assumption of rights, and demanded repossession of it, the defendant thought, as he had bought the chair, he was entitled to keep it, and refused to deliver it up, and hence the present action, which, forthe conveivence nf till parties, it was thought expedient to move to the county of Hereford, in wtiich the cause of d- spu'e had originated — Lord Ellenborongh saw no reason for removing the action in question. He thought it would he much better to try the cause in the pacific county of Middlesex, but re- commended an amicable adjustment of the affair. ami go twice round the earth, and five tithes round the moon , besides.

REVENUE.— The amount of monies in the Exche- qqtter, and remaining to be received, on the Sth of November, 1814, to complete the £ 25,500,000 granted to arise from War Taxes for 1814 ; and of the amount of monies in the Exchequer, and remaining to be received on the same day, to complete the sum of £ 24,000,000, granted to be raised by annuities, for tbe same year, is as follows:— Moriev in the Exrftequer, and re- tiiainiug to be received, on ac. count of War Taxes - ,£ 18,193,632 10 4 § Ditto on Account ot Loan - 8,303 841 18 7| Total - 26,502,747 9 0 The amount of Bills of Exchange, drawn for extra- ordinary expences of the Army, and paid out of money issued lo the Paymaster- General of the Forces, between December 24, 1813, and November 1, 1S14, is— ^ 18,921,061 Towards which there may be considered as h iviug been applied the sum granted last Session towards defraying the Extraordi- nary Expences of the Army for 18) 4 . 9,000,000 9,921,061 The lale Empress Josephine's Jen- els.— Al a lapidary's, in New Bond- street, was exhibited lately privateh, a magnificent suite of ornaments, lately the property of Josephine, and consigned to this country by her son Eugene Beauharnois; they were intended for sale, at a fixed price lor the whole, viz. 50,000 Guineas. They consist of three sets, comprising a diadeui, tiara, aigrette, rings, and brooches The principal article is the first named; it is of rare and beautiful workmanship, and adorned with opals, said to be matchless in the whole world,' being collected together with great difficulty in countries remote from France? these precious stones are surrounded by brilliants of lite finest water. Among Ihe others are sapphires, emeralds, and pink topazes j the emeralds are ofthe deepest colour, aud perfectly clear. A sapphire brooch attracted much notice, it being of a matchless size, an inch and a half one way, and an inch the other. They have been in London only a few days, and were consigned hither for a very short « p; tce of time. The merchant to whom they were entrusted declined shewing them in the evening of Wednesday ; and all applicants were informed that they would not remain many hours longerin town. Eugene Beauharnois stated, iu his communication, that the object lie had in view was to raise a sum ot money to pay off tho demands on the estate of Josephine, and in so doing he acted agreeably to her last will and testa- ment. A Spanish brig, called I ; e Union, with a cargo of slaves, which had been re- captured from a Carthagenian privateer by lite Variable, was lately sent into Kingston, Jamaica, and released upon paying salvage : " the slaves ( we are told) were a very choice cargo, to the number of 242, and were valued at £ 90 eacii J" An apple, of the kind called Ribstone pippin, was lately plucked in the garden of T. Wilkinson, Esq. of Osward House, Durham, of the weight of 155 oz. Its circumference at the centre - MIS 12 ' inches. The parent tree was originally brought lo this country from Hol- land, by Sir John Goodricke, Bart, early in the last century, and planted at his seat at Kibstone, near Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, where it now remains, but in a very decayed slate. A few davs ago were slaughtered at Wakefield, two sheep, fed by Major Bewer, and two fed by Mr. Parker, residents near Malton ; the former two by Mr. Cold- well, the latter two hy Mr. Tengatl. The carcases of Ihe former weighed 3331b. and those ofthe latter 332lb. The history of these four sheep is a little singular :— In 1813 the respective couples were shewn at Malton fair lor the prize, as shearlings, when the judges declined deciding which were entitled to the prize, and begged the owners to keep them till the following year. They were a_; ain exhibited as two shear sheep, and the judges again declined giving an opinion 011 their merits, aud recommended their being weighed. This was done, and the couple belonging to the Major exceeded their competitors by 8| lb. The four sheep were afterwards bought by Mr. Dixon, near Wakefield, and the re- spective persons by whom they were slaughtered. A plan will be laid before Ministers, in a few days, to act as a guarantee lo the Public against indigent Bankers. We are not in full possession oftlie plan, hut it is said that Bankers will be required lo takeout Licence?, and to lodge in the Bank of England a certain sum of Consols or other Stock, for wtiich they will receive interest; but it will remain ( uot liable to be diverted to any other purpose) whilst tbey rema- in Bankers, 10 answer anv deficiency, should they, through gambling, or from any- other improper means, become insolvent. A part of the plan is also calcu- lated lo prevent the unbounded issue of Couutry Bankers' mites, by making them ( whenever ca'led on) lo state upon oath the amount of each sort of notes they liave out, in the same manner as Ihe Bank of England does. Dramatic Compliment.— At a Theatre ill a country town, on a late representation of The Milter and his Men, Ihe Manager contrived not lo make the Miller a thief, out of compliment to the Mayor, who was a miller himself! Tfoe Theatre of Breda was destroyed by fire 011 Ihe 8lh ult. One third of the suburbs of t'era, opposite lo Constantinople, was also destroyed by fire 0: 1 the night of the Sth of October. The Hotel of the British Ambassador, Ihe Palace of tlie Waivodes, & c. were the prey of the flames.— Three other fires had shortly alter broke out at Constantinople, Tophana, and Pera, all which were promptly suppressed. The Wahabees. though excluded from the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, continue in greal strength in Arabia Felix. They are even said to have possession of some of the most fertile districts in that country. Their troops posted at all the stations w here there are wells, 011 Ihe skirts of the deserts, either lay under con- tribution, or cut off the caravans going from the borders of Ihe Pers. an Gttlph to Medina and Mecca. A mixed caravan of traders and pilgrims, amounting to 1,200 persons, having recently made some resistance, or refused £ 0 submit to the composition required, were massacred.— About 400 wretches who escaped the sword perished in the desert of thirst. Their bodies, dried by the suu, tracked the road for sixty miles! THE NATIONAL DEBT ILLUSTRATED. Question t — Assuming the unredeemed national debt at 700 millions of pounds sterling, for the sake of a round number, huw much would it weigh in one pound Bank of England notes, at 512 to the pound ?— Answer— 61 tons, 17 hundred weight, 2 quarters, aud 10 pounds. Q 2, If the whole were one pound Bank of England notes, how large a snace would they cover, if parted, a a I laid side by side as close to eacli other as possible ? — A. 4,51square tniles. Q. 3. If the whole were in guineas ( each in breadth one incti), and laid in a line close 10 cach other, what would be the extent ? — A 10,521 miles, 258 yards, 1 foot, 6 inches. Q. 4. If the whole were iti shillings ( each in breadth one inch), how far would Ibev extend in length?— A. 590,959 miles, 1 ,' 48 yards, 2 feet- 8 inches ; which is equal to eight times round the earth, aud 20,655 miles, 1,048 yards, 2 feet, 8 inches over, or nearly nine times the circumference of tbe globe. The earth's circumference is 25,033 miles. Q. 5. li the whole d- ot were in penny pieces of the thickest sort ( each being I inch, 1- 57 to of a hundred part diameter), and laid in like manner in a line, what would hetheex'eut ? — A. 4,162,878 miles, 1,3S(" 4 yards; or, in other words, it woutd bit 17 times the distance between the earth and moon, Leaving a Deficiency of According to atl abstract of the net produce of the Revenue in the quarters and years ending the 10th of October, 1813, and 10th of October, 1814, presented to the Commons, it appears, that iu the branch of Customs the surplus of this year, over the preceding, is £ 55,953 ; and of Ihe lasl quarter of this year over lite correspond- ing quarter of 1S13, no less than £ 774,573; iu the Excise, the surplus of this year over the last year is £ 1,594,3991 in Stamps, an increase of £ 375,602; in the Post- office, of £ 59,000; in the Assessed Taxes, of £ 326,679; iii the Property- Tax, £ 374,984; and in the Land- Tax, Miscellaneous, Pensions, & c. a declension of £ 101,586 ; making a total of Revenue, in 1814, above 1813, of two millions, six hundred and eighty- Jive thousand, two hundred and lu- enty- one pounds. FINANCE.— The Vote of Credit of Three Millions, for the year 1814, has been thus applied:— Issued to the Treasurer of the Navy, £ 1,814,^ 00:— to the Pay- master of the Forces, £ 808,000 :— Remains unissued, £ 377,500. UNFUNDED DEBT.— The amount of Ihe Unfunded Debt in Exchequer Bills, outstanding on the 1st of Nov. 1814, is £ 59,227,600, of which £ 6,000,000 are held by the Bank. It is said, this country has a demand of 12 millions sterling against France: viz. a balance of 8 millions for the support of prisoners of war, and 4 millions of British property vested in the French funds; but that the Comm ssioners appointed to settle these claims meet with obstacles at every step. The saving in the public expenditure since Ihe termination of Ihe European War, is said to be two millions per month. 3; mpctiai parliament. . MONDAY, NOVRMHER 21. Tn the Mouse of Lords, the American War formed the principal subject of deba'p. In the course of the discussion, the Marquis of LANSBOWN asked whether it was the intention < » f Ministers to make any communication to Pailiampnt 011 the subject, and alluded to the statement received through the American papers respecting the ne^ ociations at Ghent — The Karl of LIVERPOOL, in reply, stated that, the negociations at Ghent were not broken ofV, and that under such circum- stanceM the government would not do do tiieir duty if they produced any partial information, or gave explanation before the negociations were brought to a period. In answer to another question put !> v the Marquis of Lansdown, the Karl of LIVER- POOL declared, that Government had no knowledge of tbe fact asserted iu the American papers relative to slaves being taken from the American States and sold hy British subjects, but that an inquiry was ordered to be ma< le, and that if any persons should be found guilty of so atrocious an ofience they would be severely punished. In the House of Commons, npon the motion that the House should go into a Committee TO consider of a grant, in supply for Military Services, Mr. WHITBREAD rose, and de- clared that he could not agree to the motion without being first informed by Ministers what force was likely still to be main- tained. The number of our troops, hi: said, should be fixed principally with reference to our relations with Foreign Powers and the State of Europe; but of this Ministers lefl the country quite, in the dark. He then reprobated the manner in which , » he war aud negoeiations with America had been conducted. Both these had been so managed bv this country as to rouse in the whole population of America, but one feeling, and that feeling was decidedly against this country. He then condemned the policy ofthis country, as it now appeared, with respect to the kingdoms of Naples and Saxony, and re- quested information upon those btads.— The CHANCELLOR of THEXCHEQUER said that when the proper period arrived, the fuHest disclosure should be made to the House, with respect to the several negociations now pending with Foreign Powers, but till they were concluded, it would be improper to answer questions respecting them.— With respect to the negoc. iations at Ghent however, lie should say, th* y were not broken otf, but were proceeded in.— Some conversation then took place re- Militia was kept partially embodied for th? purpose of puV'e economy.— The ATTORNEY GENERAL gave it as his opinion, that the keepirig the militia embodied was perfectly legal. After some further conversation, the several resolutions for granting sums for the different departments of mriitary service were agreed to. Mr. HORNER moved for a message to the Lords, requesting' their Lordships, Report in the Corn Trade should be com- municated to the Hou- e. — Agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2?. Mr. WIIITBREAD confirmed his statement of the Govern- ment of this country having been nccessary to the Treaty in whieli Murat is recognized as Sovereign of the kingdom of Naples, ratified by the Emperor of Austria.— The CHAN- CELLOR OP THE EXCHEQUER felt confident, that no engagement had been made by this country which it wouiJ be expedient to abandon. Mr. WHITBREAD then rose to call the attention of the House to the circumstances lately mentioned relative to the arrest ond delivering up of two Spanish subjects, bv the Government at Gibraltar. Every one knew what a detestable line of conduct tlie present Government of Spain had pur- sued ; and two persons, the one a retired officer, the other a scholar, who hdd written a wnik against the Inquisition, bad fled to Gibraltar, in order to be out of the reach of their tyrannv. It. was understood, that Gm. Smith had given them up, on the representation of Sir James Duff, the English Consul at Cad z. It was aUo understood, thatSir James Duff bad been an active instrument in preventing the escape of obnoxious persons from the merciless fangs of the. Spanish Legislature. He concluded by moving for copies of the communications between our Consul at Cadiz and the Commander at Gibraltar, and also of the Correspondence between the latter officer arxt the British Government.— The CHANCELLOR O- P THE EXCHE- QUER observed, that this country had never interposed ir> sanction any of the violent measures which were going » » r » in Spain. The only interference used had been on the side of the oppressed sufferers. The feelings of this count\ y had been strongly and prope. rlv excited ttv the oppressions of the Soanish Government; and in order to shew- that his Majesty's Ministeis concurred with this just sentiment, be should statf, that Lord Bathurst had written a letter to Gen. Smith, in which he cautioned that officer against a repetition of bin conduct. He further expressed, that it wa? the command of the Prince Regent that if ? nv other Spaniards should take refuge at. Gibraltar, Genet al Smith should I'efwse to give them up, until he had previously communicated with the English Ambassador at Madrid. The Chancellor of tbe Exchequer said, that although tbe conduct, of General Smith wa< not justifiable, it had arisen from eiror, and the exceeding caution used with respect to foreigners gaining admittance into the garrison of Gibraltar.— Mr. W. POLE stated, that he had recently spent some time in Madrid, and had taken the op- portunity of inspecting all the correspondence on this subject; and he should take upon himself positively to assert, that as far as was possible by remonstrations and representations, our Ambassador had done all in his power to oppose the recent proceedings of tiie Spanish Authorities, and among others the revival of the detestable Inquisition.— » The papers movt d for bv Mr. Whitbread, were then ordered to be produced. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23. The Kail of LIVERPOOL brought in a message from his Roval Highness the Prince Regent, recommending the House tcf coucur in a measure for conferring on Lord W'alsiugham, as a reward for his public services, an annuity of ofc'^ OOO, which was ordered to be taken into consideration to- morrow. Mr. HORNER aud other members from the Commons brought up a message, requesting copies of the first and second re- ports of their lordships' Committees appointed to inquire into the price of grain, the corn trade, and laws relating thereto —• The LORD CHANCELLOR informed the Commons that the House would send an answer bv tbeir own messenger. HOUSE OF COMMON'S. Mr- BANKS moved for leave to bring in a bill to explain and amend the act regulating the accounts of the Civil List.-— Leave given. Mr. WHI'IBREAD rose, and said, he held in his hand a petition, which lie took the earliest opportunity of offering to the notice of the House, The petition was from Mr. Loveli, proprietor of the Statesman newspaper, who, for various of- fences, had been confined in Newgate for upwards of three years and a half, and, although the time of his allotted con- finement had expiied some months, he was still confined, because he had not paid the fine which had been fixed bv his sentence, nor had he entered into the securities required j aud both of those things he was unable to do. Mr. Lovell had been convicted of three libels, and out of those three,, two he had copied from other publications ; only one of those libels first appeared in the paper of which Mr. Lovell was proprietor, yet for three libels he has been punished as- though they had originated with him, and what was extremely hard, and, indeed, which clearly pointed out the partiality of selection exercised in seeking out those who were made amen- able to the law of libel, he had, in the case of the article taken from the Manchester paper, been punished for cop\ : ng it, when the authors of the libel had escaped unpunished. In the third instance, iu which he was convicted of a libel, and the only oue which originated in his paper, Mr. Locell disclaimed, in an affidavit, any knowledge of the" article having appeared iu his paper, aud he made some apology for its appearance, yet. he was sentenced to 18 months imprison- ment, to a fine of ,£ 500, and to beco'frie bound to keep the peace for three years, himself in o£ l() 00, and two, sureties in c£' 5() 0 each.-^ After some observations from the Chancellor ot the Exchequer, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
