The encouragement and advantages intended to be af- forded to settlers will be as follows :— A passage and provisions, during the voyage, will be furnished by Government, and, on their arrival in the colony, a grant of one hundred acres of land will be se- cured to each family, of which they will he put imme- diately in possession, and all their male children, actually residing in the province, will be entitled, on attaining the age of twenty- one years, to a similar grant of one hundred acres each. For the first six or eight months, as it may be found necessary, after their arrival ( in order to enable the settlers to establish themselves upon their respective grants, and to clear and cultivate a portion of the land), they will be allowed rations from the public stores ; and in case, from unforeseen" events, it should be found requisite, further aid in this respect may be afforded, ac- cording to the circumstances of the case, by issuing ra- tions for a limited period, at a price under prime cost. Axes and other necessary implements will also be furnished to them, under certain regulations, at a fixed price, not exceeding half the prime cost. Should any number of families, proceeding from the same part'of the united kingdom, or possessing anyjoint stock or funds, be desirous of settling in the same neigh- bourhood in Canada, care will be taken to allot them lands as nearly as possible contiguous to each other ; and a sufficient portion of land will be appropriated in the midst of such settlers for a church, and for the mainte nance of a clergyman and a schoolmaster; and in case a sufficient number of settlers so united should be accom- panied from the united kingdom by a person of either of the above functions, who possesses their confidence, and. can be well recommended, and who shall he ap proved of by Government, a_ Salary will be provided of One Hundred Pounds per annlim to such minister, and Fifty Pounds per annum to the schoolmaster, for such period as shall afterwards be specified. Persons who may Be allowed to proceed to Canada, as settlers from Scotland, must embark in the month of April, from such port or ports in the Clyde as shall be noticed in a future advertisement, where vessels will be ready to rcceive those for whom the necessary accom- modation will be provided. In order to prevent persons from making an unwar- ranted and improper use of the liberality of Govern- ment, it will be required that every person embarking fo Quebec should, at the time of embarkation, deposit in the hands of the Government agent the following sums:— Every male person, above 16 years of age, 161. Ster- ling ; every woman, being the wife of any person so em- barking, two guineas; children, under 16 years of age, will be conveyed free of expence. And whatever sums may be so paid by them, will be repaidjjo them, or their representatives in Canada, at theiend of two years from the date of their embarkation, upon its being as- certained that they are settled on the grant of land al- lotted to them. John Campbell, Esq. writer to his Majesty's signet, Abercromby Place, Edinburgh, is appointed by Go- vernment commissioner and general agent in Scotland for this business, to whom communications may be made. As the time for embarkation of settlers is limited, such as are at a distance, and who wish to embrace the present opportunity of settling in British America, will do well to send, by prist, their proposals and certificates without any delay. Those testimonials must certify the general good character of applicants— their professions — former pursuits, whether married or widowers— the number oT their children, distinguishing male and fe- male, and the ages of all. ' These must be obtained either from justices of the peace, clergymen, or elders of the parish, or other respectable persons. It is recommended that the utmost care be taken by those who grant certificates, that they are satisfied, from personal knowledge, of the facts contained in the repre- sentation of the circumstances.

In the common mode, the specific sum assured is recovered, but nothing more. In that of the Union, while equally secure of the specific sum as- sured, the member Is entitled to share the surplus pro- fits, and this, it has been seen, will frequently double the sum stated in the policy, and this also without any additional ch: irge of premium, or being liable for the losses of others. Military men are not charged wirh'an extra premium, unless called into actual service, and the rates of premium on insurances for a shoft jifriod are so favourable, that, at the age of thirty- nine, a person may insure his life in this Company for one year, at the same expence as is charged by some other offices for the age of twenty- six. Assurances are extended to any part oi the world. The Company has now completed one hundred years since its establishment, during which period the support which it lias received is the best proof of the great ad- vantages accruing to the public from the peculiar and equitable system on which it is formed.

Leith, March 1.1815, SUPPLEMENT To THE LONDON GAZETTE, OF TUESDAY, MARCH 7. . COLONIAL DEPARTMENT, DOWNING STREET, MARCH 8. 1815. Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been this day received by Earl Bathurst, one of his Ma- jesty's principal Secretaries of State, from Major- General Sir JOHN LAMBERT, K. C. B, commanding on the coast of Louisiana. Camp, in front of the enemy's lines, below New Orleans, Jan. 10.1815. MY LORD— It becomes my duty to lay before your Lordship, the proceedings of the force lately employed on the coast of Louisiana, under the command of Major- General the honourable Sir E. M. Pakenham, K. B. and acting in con- cert with Vice- Admiral the honourable Sir A. Cochrane, K. B. The report which I enclose from Major- Ge- neral Keane, will put your Lordship in posses sion of the occurrences which took, place until the arrival of Major- General the honourable Sir Pakenham to assume the command ; from tha period I send an extract of the journal of Major Forrest, assistant quartermaster- general, up to the time of the joining of the troops ( which sailed on the 26th of October last, under my command), and which was on the 6th January ; and from that period, I shall detail, as well as 1 am able, the subsequent events. I found the army in position, in a flat country, with the Mississippi on its left, and a thick ex tensive wood on its right, and open to its front, from which the enemy's line was quite distin- guishable. It seems Sir E. Pakenham had waited for the arrival of the fusiliers and 43d regiment, in order to make a general attack upon the enemy's line ; and on the 8th, the army was formed for that object. In order to give your Lordship as clear a view as I can, I shall state the position of the enemy. • On the left bank of the river it was simply a Straight line of about a front of 1000 yards, with a parapet, the right resting on the river, and the left on a wood, which had been made impracti- cable for any body of troops to pass. This line was strengthened by flank, works, and had a canal of about four feet deep generally, but not alto- gether of an equal width ; it was supposed to narrow towards their left ; about eight heavy guns were in position on this line. The Mis- sissippi is here about 800 yards across, and they had on the light bank a heavy battery of twelve it would liave encouraged we greatly though not without loss, which might have made the at- tempt of serious consequence, as I know it was the opinion of the late distinguished commander of the forces, that the carrying of the first line would not be the least arduous service. After making the best reflections I was capable of, I kept the ground the troops then held, and went to meet Vice- Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, ; nd to tell him, that under all the circumstances I did not think it prudent to renew the attack that day. At about ten o'clock I learnt of the success of Colonel Thornton's corps on the right bank. I sent the commanding officer of the ar- tillery, Colonel Dickson, to examine the ' situ- ation of the battery, and to report if it was ten- able ; but informing me that he did not think it could be held with security by a smaller corps than two thousand men, I consequently ordered Lieutenant- Colonel Gubbins, on whom the com mand had devolved ( Colonel Thornton being wounded') j to retire. The army remained in position until night, in order to gain time to destroy the 18- pounder battery we had constructed the preceding night in advance. I then gave orders for the troops resuming the ground they occupied previous to the attack. Our loss has been very severe, but I trust it will not be considered, notwithstanding the fa- lure, that this army has suffered the military character to be tarnished. I am satisfied, had I thought it right to renew the attack, that the troops would have advanced with cheerfulness. The services of both army and navy, since their landing on this coast, have been arduous beyond any thing I have ever witnessed, and difficulties have been got over with an assiduity and perse- verance, beyond all example, by all ranks, and the most hearty co- operation has existed between the two services. It is not necessary for me to expatiate to you upon the loss the army has sustained in Major General the honourable Sir E. Pakenham, com mander in chief of this force, nor could I in ade- quate terms. His services and merits are so well known, that I have only, in common with the whole army, to express my sincere regret, and which may be supposed at this moment to come peculiarly home to me. Major- General Gibbs, who died of his wounds the following day, and Major- General Keane who were both carried off the field within twen- ty yards of the glacis, at the head of their bri- gades, sufficiently speak at such a moment how they were conducting themselves. I am happy to say Major- General Keane is doing well. Captain Wylly of the fusiliers, military secre- tary to the late Commander of the force I have the honour of delivering to your Lo that have fallen into their hands had been kind and humane, I have every reason to believe. However unsuccessful the termination of the late service the army and navy have been employ- ed upon has turned out, it would be injustice not to point out how much praise is due to their ex- ertions ; ever since the 13th December, when the army began to move from the ships, the fa-, tigue of disembarking and bringing up artillery and supplies from such a distance has been in- cessant, and I must add that, owing to the exer- tions of the navy, the army has never wanted provisions, The labour and fatigue of the sea- men and soldiers were particularly conspicuous on the night of the 7th inst. when 50 boats were drag- ged through a canal into the Mississippi, in which there were only 18 inches of water, and I am confident that, Vice- Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, who suggested the possibility of this operation, will be equally ready to admit this, as well as the hearty co- operation of the troops on all occasions. From what has come under my own observa- tion since I joined this army, and from official reports that have been made to me, I beg to call your Lordship's attention to individuals, who from their station have rendered themselves pe- culiarly conspicuous :— Major Forrest, at the head of the Quartermaster- General's department, I cannot say too much of; Lieutenants Evans and Peddie of the same, have been remarkable for their exertions and indefatigability ; Sir John Tylden, who has acted in the field as assistant Adjutant- General with me ( Lieutenant- Colonel Stovin having been wounded on the 23d ult. though doing well, not as yet being permitted to take active service) has been very useful ; on- the night of the 7th, previous to the attack, Rear- Admiral Malcolm reports the great assistance he eceived from him in forwarding the boats into the Mississippi. Captain Wood, of the 4th re giment, Deputy Assistant Adjutant- General, has filled that situation, since the first disembarkation of the troops, w ith zeal and attention. During the action of the 8th inst. the com- mand of the 2d brigade devolved upon Lieute- nant- Colonel Brooke, 4th regiment ; that of the 3d upon Colonel Hamilton, 5th West India re- giment j and the reserve upon Colonel Blakeney, royal fusiliers ; to all these officers I feel much indebted for their services. Lieutenant- Colonel Dickson, royal artillery, has displayed his usual abilities and assiduity he reports to me his ge- neral satisfaction of all the officers under his com- mand, especially Major Munro, senior officer of the royal artillery previous to his arrival, and of the officers commanding companies. Lieutenant- Colonel Burgoyne, royal engineers, afforded me every assistance that could be ex- pected from his known talents and experience ; that service lost a very valuable and much esteem- ed officer in Lieutenant Wright, who was killed when- reconnoitring on the evening of the 31st ultimo. Lieutenant- Colonel Mein, of the 43d, and Lieutenant- Colonel Gubbins, 85th regiments, field officers of the picquets on the 18th, have great credit for the manner in which they with- drew the out- posts on the morning of the 19th, under the direction of Colonel Blakeney, royal fusileers. I request in a particular manner to express how much this army is indebted to the attention and diligence of Mr Robb, Deputy- Inspector of Hospitals ; he met the embarrassments of crowd- ed hospitals, and their immediate removal, with such excellent arrangements, that the wounded Return of the ordnance taken from the enemy by a « e- ufchment of the army acting on the right bank of the Mississippi, under the command of Colonel Thorn- ton. !

The further consideration of the report was then adjourned to Monday next Adjourned. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, MARCH 9. A letter from Vice- Admiral the honourable Sir Alexander Cochrane, G. C.

The Marquis of BUTE was introduced to the Council, and sworn in Lord- Lieutenant for the county of Glamorganshire. Among those who had the honour of being presented to his Royal Highness at the levee, were.— The Earl of MOrTON, on his marriage ; Lord EKSKINe on receiving the order of " the Thistle ; and Sir JOHN MArJORIBANkS, Bartf Lord Provost of Edinburgh. HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, MARCH 9. Petitions against the corn laws were presented from Dunfermline, Worthing, Gloucester, Whitby, the North and West Riding of Yorkshire, Oxford, Glas- gow, Paisley, and the Livery of London. Also a petition from the Freeholders of Norfolk, praying for a protective revision of the corn laws.— Adj. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8. [ Continued from last private correspondence.] CORN BILL. On the motion that the report of the corn bill be now received, Sir GILBERT HEATHCOTE moved that there- port be received this day six months. Lord NUGENT seconded the amendment. Mr DOugLAS was anxious to state his con- scientious acquiescence in the principle of the bill; he considered it the wisest measure that had ever been submitted to the House. Every one ad- mitted that something must be done for the agri- cultural interests ; and while so many aspersions were cast upon landholders, it should not be forgot- ten, that the fortunes of many had been spent in that wise and manly liberality which had improved the agriculture of the country. Mr PHILLIPS Contended, that agriculture would always flourish in proportion as commerce was en- couraged ; and he never could conceive how agricul- ture could be promoted by raising the price of all necessaries, and keeping up the very high rents of land. The demands of the manufacturing interests caused the high prices of agricultural produce, and of land ; but if the produce should be raised by ar- tificial means, it would be ruinous to the manufac turers of the country. Mr W. POLE spoke against the amendment. He hoped no consideration would induce the House to give up any part of this measure, and no petitions whatever, or au, y clamour out of doors, should deter the members from giving their opinions, and agree- ing to it. Sir M. RIDLEY thought a protecting price to a certain extent was necessary; but 80s. was much too high. Mr METHUEN was decidedly against the mea- sure. Mr CALCRAfT supported the amendment.— In the course of his speech he observed that the Irish land Scots members naturally joined in voting for a high price to regulate the importation of wheat, as one 1 know of is the thrashing- machine, which, in the event of high prices, enables die farmer to thrash, from 50 to 100 times more corn in a day than he formerly could, and, and by taking the advantage of high markets, does actually, though perhaps con- trary to his inclination, help to keep down the in creasing price. I shall, notwithstanding, vote against 80s. as I consider 7Gs. which I understand may be proposed, a fair protecting price to the farmer." Mr Long, Mr Finlay, Mr Huskisson, Mr Tier- ney, Mr Baring, and Mr Forbes, having severally delivered their sentiments, the House divided— For bringing up the report 168 For the amendment 50 Majority 11R On our return into the gallery we found Mr BA- rING again addressing the House, in opposition to to the bill. He declared it would be most indecent to hurry such a measure as this, after the vast num- ber of petitions then on the table, and which were signed by such countless names. It was, therefore, the duty of the House to wait until the opinions of the whole body of the people of this country were fully expressed on this subject. He contended that temporary relief was the only thing sought for on the part of the farmer, and concluded by moving, that the amendments should be read a second time the first day after the Easter recess. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it his duty to repel with firmness the charge of hur- rying these proceedings. Very few questions had undergone so much discussion. If the House had made any such alteration in the orignal measure as made it a very different one, he should agree in tbe necessity of further delay ; but as this was not the case, he trusted the House would not suffer itself to be taunted by tbe imputation of cowardice into a dere- liction - of its duty, which he thought consisted in bringing this measure to as fpeedr a conclusion as the forms of the House would permit. Sir JOHN NEWPORT opposed the amendment ; he, took occasion to defend the conduct of the Irish members, in the part they had taken on this bill. Mr WORTLEY opposed the amendment at some length. Mr W.

Mr BARING opposed this, and moved as an amendment, that it be read a third time on next Friday week. Sir GILBERT HEATHCOTE supported the amendment. Strangers were again ordered to withdraw, after which the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 46 Against it 220 Majority * - 174 OUTRAGES IN THE METROPOLIS. On entering the gallery, we found the House oc- cupied in a conversation on the means of preventing a recurrence of the outrages still practised iu the metropolis. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that if the legisla- ture could for one moment be deterred from fulfilling its duty by any kind of menaces from without doors, the rc would be an end of the character and efficiency of that branch of the legislature. If the infatuated people themselves imagined- that their threats would induce the House to relax in its course, and shrink from the trust reposed in it, they little knew what were all brought off with every favourable cir- cumstance, except such cases as would have ren- dered their removal dangerous. Captain Sir Thomas Troubridge, royal navy, who commanded a battalion of seamen, and who was attached to act with the troops, rendered the greatest service by his exertions, in whatever way they were required ; Colonel Dickson, royal artillery, particularly mentions how much he was indebted to him. ' The conduct of the two squadrons of the 14th light dragoons, latterly under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Baker, previously of Major Mills, has been the admiration of every one, by the cheerfulness with which they have performed all descriptions of service. I must also mention the exertions of the royal staff corps, under Major Todd, so reported by the Deputy Quartermaster General. Permit me to add the obligations I am under to my personal staff, Lieutenant the honourable Edward Curzon, of the royal navy, who was se- lected as naval aide- de- eamp to the commanding officer of the troops on their first disembarkation, each of whom have expressed the satisfaction they had in his appointment, to which I confi- dently add my own. Major Smith, of the 95th regiment, now act- ing as military secretary, is so well known for his zeal and talents, that I can with great truth say that I think he possesses eyery qualification to render him hereafter one of the brightest or- naments of his profession. 1 cannot conclude without expressing how much indebted the army is to Rear- Admiral Malcolm, who had the immediate charge of land- ing and re- embarking the troops ; he remained on shore to the last, and by his abilities and ac- tivity smoothed every difficulty.— I have, & c.

Sir JOHN MARJORIBANKS.—" Sir, in conse- quence of what has fallen from the honourable gentle- man who spoke last, I feel myself called upon to say, that, although oatmeal was formerly the subsistence of the population of Scotland, the mode of living in that country has, of late years, materially changed, and that in a great part, and certainly in the popu- lous parts of Scotland, the use of wheat has become nearly general. But, were that not the case, I am convinced, that there is not a Scots member who would not disdain such a shelter for his conduct; therefore, whatever unpopularity is attempted to be thrown on the measure, let us take our share, and, in return, let us feel entitled to participate in the merit of the benefit which, I am confident, will here- after be acknowledged by the country at large. Much, Sir, has been said, in the discussion of this question, of high rents, and particularly with regard to Scot- land. In my humble opinion, that point lias been greatly mis- stated. I shall endeavour to illustrate that opinion, by stating the rent of Berwickshire, the county I belong to. I remember, Sir, the average price of good wheat land from 10s. to 15s. and the same quality of land now averages, generally speak- ing, from 28s. to 40s. the English acre. But much of the public burdens is paid by the landlord He pays land tax, ministers stipend, half the expence of keep- ing fences, & c. in repair, half of the poor rates, which, though high enough, is comparatively trifling to those in England, and no tithes. I readily admit, that a great part of that rise has occurred of late years, and that it has been considerably produced by the depre- ciation in the value of money; but there are other causes with which the peculiarity of the times have had no share. I mean, Sir, the great improvements in agriculture; the skill and industry of the Scots farmer; and, above all, the great discovery made and practised by him, of applying, to the utmost, his capi- tal in putting bis lands into the best condition. It is perfectly within my recollection, a farmer taking a farm of about 1000 acres, I think, at 20s. the acre ; that was throughout the county talked of as an enor- the character of a British legislator was. Neither was it proper, at the same time, to magnify the dan- gers of the moment. He was disposed to believe they were not so imminent as some gentlemen still imagined them to be; and, at all events, he approved tion he had made the sign al for the troops to ad- vance, gallopped on to the front to animate them by his presence, and he was seen, with his hat off, encouraging them on the crest of the glacis, It was there ( almoit at the same time) he recei- ved two wounds, one in his knee, and another, which was almost instantly fatal, in his body. He fell in the arms of Major M'Dougall, aide, de- camp. The effect of this, in the sight of the troops, together with Major General Gibbs and Major- General Keane, being both borne off wounded at the samg time, with many other com- manding officers, further, the preparations to aid in crossing the ditch not being so forward as they ought to have been, from perhaps the men being wounded who were carrying them, caused a wavering in the column, which, in such a situation became irreparable, and as I advanced with the reserve, at about 250 yards' from the line, I had the mortification to observe the whole falling back upon me in the greatest confusion. In this situation, finding that no impression had been made, that though ' many men had reached the ditch, and were- either drowned or obliged to surrender and that it was impossible to restore order ' in the regiments where they ! were, I placed the reserve in position, until could obtain such information us to determine me how to act to the best of my. judgment, and whether I should resume the attack, and, if so, I felt it could be done only by the reserve The confidence I have in the corps composing which had been landed on a very large " scale, were brought away, and nothing fell into the enemy's hands* excepting six iron 1 8- pounders, mounted on sea carriages, and two carronades which were in position- on the left bank of the Mississipi; to bring them off at the moment tbe army was retiring was impossible, and to have done it previously would have exposed the whole force to any fire the enemy might have sent down the river. These batteries were of course destroyed, and the. guns rendered perfectly un- serviceable. Only four men were reported ab- sent next morning, and these, I suppose, must have been left behind, and have fallen into the hands of the enemy j but when it is considered the troops were in perfect ignorance of the move ment, until a fixed hour during the night, that the battalions were drawn off in succession, and that the picquets did not move off till half past three o'clock in the moi fiing, and that the whole had to retire through the most difficult new made road, cut in marshy ground, impassable for a horse, and where, in many places, the men could only go in single files, and that the absence of men might be accounted for in so many ways, it would be rather a matter of surprise the number was so few- ' An exchange of prisoners has been effected with the enemy upon very fair terms, and their attention to the brave prisoners, and wounded/ of the leniency which was observed towards them. Government was vigilant, in th « meantime, however merciful, and the House might rest assured that the executive would perform its part, in standing by the legislature and liberties of the country. Mr WhITBrEAD said, that every man must disdain the methods now taken to affect the decision of the House; and so far he agreed with the noble Lord opposite to him. He was also as willing to ap- plaud the mercy that had been extended on this oc- casion. He must observe, at the same time, that negligence was not mercy; that the police had not done their duty, which might have prevented the in- terference of tile military. Mr h. ADDINGTOn was proceeding to state what stepi had been taken by his noble relation ( Viscount Sidmouth), for preserving, the peace of the metropolis, when he was stopped by a general cry of " No, no." It seemed the sense of the House that such a disclosure might assist the mischief now going On. Mr PONSONBY said, it was impossible in such an extended metropolis for the police to be every- where. He commended the lenity shewn towards the populace, all of whose feelings were up, and hoped that rigour would not be practised till there was not a man, except of the mob, whp would not own that severity was called for. Lord CASTLEREAGH and Mr WHITBREAD litre explained. Mr C. YOKKE said, that they might talk about their liberties and privileges for sometime, but if the subject were not taken up, there would speedily be an end to that House, since the crown must either exercise its power for their protection, or they must be summoned to sit 1n some other plaCe where there deliberations might be free. Mr HUSkISSON said, that, according to his judgment, all the mischief had arisen trom the senti- ments that were delivered in the House during the two last nights after the subject was exhausted, and which imputed such dishonourable motives to those members who had supported the bill.—( Hear.) Mr BARING had his duty to perform as a member of Parliament, and he hoped he was now performing it as conscientiously as the right honour- able gentleman. With this consciousness, he felt it rather hard that the attack upon and destruction of houses should be considered as his crimes. He hoped he was in a House where free discussion was not to be overawed—-( Hear, hear.) He had only now to add, that it was his determination to continue his opposition to the measure to the last,—( Hear, hear.) MUTINY BILL On receiving the report of the mutiny bill, Sir SamuEl ROMilLy moved a clause prohibiting courts- martial from adjudging a prisoner to more than 100 lashes. The JUDGE ADVOCATE opposed the amend- ment as unnecessary, and stated various proofs of the amelioration ill the discipline of our troops. After some farther conversation, the report was received, and Sir S. Romilly's clause withdrawn..— Adjourned, THURSDAY, MARCH 9. The Scots jury trial bill was read a second time, and committed for Tuesday. The Bank restriction bill was read a third tim*. The CHANCELlor of the EXCHEQUER said, he believed that by Monday, he should be able to go- through the whole of his budget. Mr PRoTHEROE having: understood that the mous rent. I have lived to see that farmer, by his superior skill and enterprise, in applying his capital to a good subject, realise a landed purchase to the ex- tent of 50,0001. I dare say to lay out 20,0001. more upon it, and, from the judicious manner of his ar- rangements, I make no doubt his landed estate, in Berwickshire is worth at this moment 90,0001. and this gentleman has taken, this very year, a new lease of the same valuable farm at 48s. the acre. I believe, Sir, without meaning any invidious compari- son, that the granting leases, by affording an incite- ment to lay out capital, is one of the principal causes of land being higher rented in Scotland than in this country. 1 am aware, Sir, that this reasoning may- be interpreted as making against any occasion for the bill under our consideration; but I trust I shall he able to shew that it does not. In consequence of the success of those, who, several years ago, had so largely and successfully embarked very large capi- tals in agriculture, the example has been followed by every tenant throughout the county, and, generally speaking, every shilling he has is treasured up in his land. What would be the consequence of not giving aid to such a description of men ? They would, like honest men, go on to pay their rent and maintain their credit, as long as they could, and in gradually withdrawing their capital from the soil; when at last they became reduced to bankruptcy, their land would be in a most useless state, and totally incapable of pro- duce. Sir, during the agitation of this most important question for the last two years, I most anxiously and conscientiously voted against a corn bill, because I did not then see, from the fair prices of grain, that any al- teration should be made. During the discussion of this session, I have, equally anxiously and conscien- tiously, altered my vote, and unless legislative protec- tion be given to the agriculturist, I feel that it will be attended with most ruinous consequences to the empire. Before sitting down, I beg leave to notice and correct a mis- statement of an honourable member respecting the depopulation of the farming districts of Scotland, from the great enlargement of farms to produce high rents, and from the introduc- tion of machinery, to the prejudice ofipanual labour. I believe I do not exaggerate when 1 say, that the farming districts have nearly doubled their popula- tion'; and certainly, within my recollection, the farm servants live in better houses, and are better fed, than the tenants of small farms were formerly, and 1 have no doubt the land produces more than a double quan- tity of food. With regard to machinery 4 the only military arrived, when there was a general cry of " Off, Off !" and the mob immediately dis- persed. It is impossible even to conceive a pretext which could have led any to attempt an injury to the premises pf Sir Joseph— a gen- tleman whose life i » devoted to the pursuits of science. Had any damage been done to his valuable library, it would have proved an irrepa- rable injury to mankind. Late in the evening an immense mob passed down Catharine Street, and broke the windows ol the Morning Herald printing office, and thence proceeded to the house of Mr Tomkins, in Serle Street, Lincoln's- lnn- Fields, where they broke several windows ; they next attacked the house of Serjeant Best, in Lincoln's Inn Square, and demolished the windows in front, pulled up the iron railings, and threw them into the area, to- gether with the stone steps at the door ; they also broke some windows at the house of Mr Peacock, in the same square, but being fired upon from the inside with blank cartridges, they went off towards Bedford Square— their object here, it appeared, was to find out the private house of Mr H. Meux— No. 28. being pointed out to them, they proceeded to break the windows, but seeing bills for the house to let, they were, for sometime, at a loss to find out the real object, when a party of constables and several light horse- men appeared, and totally dispersed them. The populace were not 60 numerous about tha House ot Commons as on the preceding night ; but the crowd which had collected about Palace- yard was, occasionally, very noisy, and apparent- ly inclined to aggression. A fellow, lifted on the shoulders of others, harangued the mob, and urged them to proceed with their attacks. He was soon seized by the constables, who carried him to a room adjoining the House of Com- mons, where an examination took place before three- magistrates. The only apology he had to offer was intoxication ; but, as he had been urging the mob to acts of violence, he was comT mitted to prison. The troops assembled from different parts of the country for the protection of the metropolis, received a considerable augmentation or. Wednes- day.— In addition to the household troops, the 10th dragoons occupy the King's Mews, & c. the 16th dragoons, the Queen's Riding House ; the 15th dragoons are at Romford, the 7th hus- sars at Putney, & c. and the 18th at Lambeth & c.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, tf, at he should divide those manufactories into two classes. In some, there were a considerable number of windows of a small size; in others, there was a great range of glass necessary for light, but hardly subdivided iiito different windows. Instead of Ss. 6d. a" wind6w, he intended to propose Is. 6d.; and when the number exceeded 100, then he should propose to take the duty by superficial measure, as in the case of hot- houses.' With respect to warehouses, it was not his intention that the duty should increase in a pro- gressive scale, as with dweiling- houses. He did not propose that the tax should extend to small shops A division of the East Middlesex militia, whieh was on its march to town, to be disembo- died, has been ordered to halt at Stafford until further orders. Lord DARNLEY, we understand, decidedly disapproves of the introduction of a military force into the houses of any individuals whatever, with a view to the supposed protection of their pro- perty from popular outrage. A military guard was sent by order of the Secretary of State to his Lordship's house on Tuesday evening, who declined their assistance, at the same time pro- testing against the measure. The guard, how- ever, remained at Lord dARNLEY'S until The rain continued to fall dining the whole of Wednesday, and, except at Mr Robinson's, in Old Burlington Street, there was very little crowd in the streets. From three in the after, noon, however, detachments of the 7th hussars continued parading through various parts of Westminster. About ten o'clock at night, the work of de- vastation began again. A small party of the po- pulace made a slight attack upon Lord Castle- reagh's house, in St James's Square, but they had only broken a few windows when the cavalry arrived, and they dispersed. They next pro- ceeded to Mr Ponsonby's house, No. 19. in Curzon Street, Mayfair, with their numbers in- creasing on their way. On their arrival at Mr Ponsonby's, they presented avery formidable force. They instantly commenced a furious attack upon the house, demolished the windows, and broke the iron palisade in front. During this, some firing began from the inside of the bouse, through the door, while the mob were endeavouring to break it open. The door is much injured by the bullets which were fired through it, but we have not heard that any person was hurt. The house of Mr Quintin Dick, next door to Mr Ponsonby's, is also considerably injured from the misdirection of the stone- throwers. In a few mi- nutes the cavalry made their appearance, and the populace immediately dispersed in various dircc- tions, and soon afterwards formed a junction in GROSVENOR SQUARE, where, after giving three cheers before the house of Sir Gilbert Heathcote, they assembled in front of the Earl of Derby's, and tore down the whole of the iron railing which encloses that side of the square. The approach, of cavalry being announced, the mob again dis- persed. In BAKER STREET, NO. 21, the house of John Morris, Esq. one of the directors of the East India Company, was beset by another di- vision of the mob Mr Morris's house is si- tuate within three minutes walk of the Horse Barracks in King Street j but before the Life Guards were mounted, the mob had complete- ly demolished his windows, and were off; and about eleven o'clock, re- assembled, call- ing out, " Bread ! Bread ." opposite the, house of Sir Joseph Banks, in Soho Square, and de- manding admission. When Sir Joseph was first apprized of the quality of his visitors, he desired his servants to admit them ; but they had already forced in through the doors and windows. In a few minutes the parlour door was demolished, and boxes of valuable papers scattered in the street and area; a whole angle | of the railing of the square was also levelled with the ground, before a detachment of the these dispatches. Knowing how much he en- 1 joyed his esteem, and was in his confidence from £ a long experience of his talents, I feel'I cmnot 1 do less than pay this tribute to what I conceive 1 would be the wishes of his late General, and to recommend him strongly to your Lordship's pro- tection.— I have, & C.

MY LORD— After maturely deliberating on the situation of this army, after the command had unfortunately devolved upon me, on the 8th in- stant, and duly considering what, probability now remained ' of carrying on with success, on the same plan, an attack against New Orleans, it ap. peared to me that it ought not to be persisted in. I immediately communicated to Vice- Admiral Sir A. Cochrane that I did not think it would be prudent to make any further- attempt at pre- sent, and that I recommended re- embarking the army as soon as possible, with a view to carry into effect the other objects of the force employ- ed upon this coast; from the 9th instant it was determined that the army should retreat, and I have the satisfaction of informing your Lordship that it was effected on the night of the 18th in- stant, and ground was taken up on the morning of the 19th, on both sides of the Bayone, or creck, which the troops had entered on their dis- embarkation, fourteen miles from their position before the enemy's line, covering New Orleans, or, the left bank of the Mississippi, and one mile from the entrance into Lac Borgne ; the army remained in bivouac until the 27th instant, when the whole were re- embarked. In stating the circumstances of this retreat to your Lordship, I shall confidently trust that you will see, that good order and discipline ever ex- isted in this army, and that zeal for the service, and attention was ever conspicuous in officers of all ranks. Your Lordship is already acquainted with the position the army occupied, its advanced post close up to the enemy's line, and the greater part of the army were exposed to the fire of his batteries, which was unremitting day and night since the 1st January, when the position in ad- vance was taken up; the retreat, was effected without being harassed in any degree by the enemy ; all the sick and wounded ( with the ex- ception of eighty, whom it was considered dan- gerous to remove), field artillery, ammunition, | hospital and other stores of every description, guns, which ensiladed the whole front of the position on the left bank. Preparations were made on our side, by very considerable labour, to clear out and widen a canal that communicated with a stream by which the boats had passed up to the place of disem- barkation, to open it into the Mississippi,. by • which means troops could be got over to the right bank, and the co- operation of armed boats could be secured. The disposition for the attack was as follows: a corps, consisting of the 85th light infantry, 200 seamen, and 400 marines, the 5th West India regiment, and four pieces of artillery, under the command Of Colonel Thornton of the 85th, was to pass over during the night, and move along the right bank towards New Orleans, clear- ing its front until it reached the flanking battery of the enemy on that side, which it had orders to. can> ^ ^ t ^ ... j-. itu,., ii. ~ ur us, was to be made by the brigade composed of the 4- th, 21st, and 41- th regiments, with three companies of the 95th, under Major- General Gibbs, and by the 3d brigade, consisting of the 93d, two companies of the 95th, and two com- panies of the fusiliers and 43d, under Major- Ge- neral Keane. Some black troops were destined to skirmish in the wood on the right; the prin- cipal attack was to be made by Major- General Gibbs; the first brigade, consisting of the fusi- liers and 43d, formed the reserve. The attack- ing columns were to be provided with fascines, scaling ladders, and rafts; the whole to be at their stations before day- light. An advanced battery in our front, of six eighteen pounders, was thrown up during the night, about 800 yards from the enemy's line. The attack was to be made at the earliest hour. Unlooked for difficulties, increa- sed by the falling of the river, occasioned consi- derable delay in the entrance of the armed boats and those destined to land Colonel Thornton's corps, by which four or five hours were lost, and it was not until past five, in the morning that the first division, consisting of 500 men, were over. The ensemble of the general movement was lost, and in a point which was of the last importance to the attack on the left bank of the river, al- though Colonel Thornton, as your Lordship will see in his report, which I enclose, ably executed in every particular his instructions, and fully jus- tified the confidence the Commander of the . forces placed in his abilities. The delay attend- ing that corps occasioned some on the left bank, and the attack did not take place until the co- lumns were discernible from the enemy's line at more than 200 yards distance. As they advan- ced, a continued and most galling fire was open- ed from every part of their line, and from the battery on the right bank. The brave Commander of the forces, who never in his life could refrain from being at the post of honour and sharing the danger to which the troops were exposed, as soon as from his sta . home Department procured their dismissal, with a written assurance to Earl DARNLEY that they had been directed to proceed there " from the circumstance of an outrage being expected to . have been committed at his Lordship's house, and under the supposition that, as other gentle- men had applied for such protection, it might be agreeable to his Lordship to ' be furnished with a similar one." ' From the apparent tranquillity which prevail- ed yesterday throughout the metropolis , we were in hopes that there was an end to all tumultuary meetings. Early in the evening, however, an appearance Of riot began in Weymouth Street, but the parties were speedily dispersed by the horse. guards. Rallying in Holles Street, Ca- vendish Square, at No. 6, the house of Mr DA- VIES GIDDY, the mob commenced an attack on his windows, many of which, together with a pannel of the door, were broken. Some mus- kets haying been fired, from, the second floor, the mob soon dispersed, and proceeded to the house of Lord HAREWOOd, in Hanover Square, From which they were dispersed by the foot guards— they then proceeded, shouting and huz- zaing, Up Oxford Street, from thence into Grosrvenor Square, and so on to Park- Lane— in their course occasionally breaking a few win- dows, in a wanton manner. The horse guards, patroles of soldiers, and numerous bodies of con stables being everywhere on the alert, any regu lar attack was thereby prevented— the party de- parted, and tranquillity was restored. The houses on which attacks were anticipated have been provided with soldiers, as a sort of domestic guard, and fire- arms are provided for all. No person was hurt in Holles Street, al- though in one instance, the bullets from Mr Da- vis's house went into the parlour- window of the opposite house. No. 20. inhabited by Captain Dower.

MONDAY MARCH 13. MOST IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. BONAPARTE LANDED IN FRANCE— PROCLAIMED TRAITOR EXTRAORDINARY MEETING OF THE TWO CHAMBERS. French papers to the 9th inst. were received on Friday. We pass over all the vague specu- lations which they contain, to announce an event which cannot fail to produce the most important results. The minor papers mention the march of troops towards Italy, in consequence of some movements in that country, and from the Moniteur we learn, that BONAPATE has raised the standard of rebellion in France. He left Elba on the night of the 28th ult. and on the 3d or 4th inst. landed between Antibes and Frejus, in the department of the Var, near the spot where he embarked for his exile. On the 6th, MONSIEUR ( the Count D'ARTOIS), left Paris for Lyons, and the Duke de BERRI was to set out immediately for Besancon. The King's health was something better, but he did not appear in public. The following are ex- tracts :— ORDONNANCE OF THE KING, CONTAINING MEASURES OF GENERAL SAFETY.

It would be essentially compromised if we did not A supplementary Gazette,' containing the de- tails of the operations of the armament sent against New Orleans, from its landing to its re- embarkation, was published on Thursday. The narrative of this unfortunate enterprise is remark- able for clearness and precision, and although our loss has been considerable, it may be justly said, that the British arms have nobly maintain- ed their grand characteristics of valour, intrepi- dity, and perseverance. The last dispatch from Major- General LAMBERT is dated on board the Tonnant, the 28th of January, at which time an exchange of prisoners, was effected upon satisfac- tory terms, and every humane attention was gi- ven by the enemy to those who continued in their hands. The obstacles, both natural and ar- tificial, which the expedition had to encounter, were of the most distressing nature, and the joiht exertions of the army and navy appear to have been extremely laborious and painful. Among the extraordinary services performed by them the dragging of 50 boats into the Mississippi through a canal with only 18 inches depth of water, deserves peculiar notice. The whole of the expedition is said to hav reached, on the 3d of February, the island of Cuba, where they remained on the 6th. It was, however, understood, that they were to sail very soon, for the purpose of joining the marine bat. THE theaTRe It is really gratifying to observe the strong and steady attraction which accompanies the performances of Mr KEMBLE. Since his engagement commenced, the theatre has' every night literally overflowed. The doors are thronged before the time of opening, the pit is filled within half an hour afterwards, and numbers leave the house nightly from the. impossibility of finding admis- sion. We are thus particular, because an " overflowing house," in theatrical phraseology, is often liable to the same sort of qualifying deduction with those " shouts bf laughter and applause," which are sometimes used to in- dicate the reception of a most heavy comedy, or the fate of a farce which is just not damned. In the present in- stance, no such deduction is to be admitted, the success and attraction of the actor being really. most brilliant. This is hardly mote honourable to Mr KEMBLE than to ourselves; for here there is no novelty,, no caprice, no- thing of a fleeting or fluctuating nature: This great actor has been before us - upwards of twenty years; he has been seen . and admired by the fathers of those who now see and admire him, with unabated ardour; and his visits, during that long period, have neither been few nor brief. Such attraction, therefore, being founded upon the most lasting basts, upon the pleasure given and re- ceived through the highest qualities of our nature, pro- mises to be as permanent as the sound sense and taste of the public. - The characters in wh\ ch Mr KEMBLE has appeared since he opened in Hamlet, are Penruddock, Macbeth, Richard, the Stranger, Wolsey, and Shylock; and in most of them he has exhibited his fine talents to their .... ..

" Whereas a great- number of disorderly persons have, during the three last days, publicly assembled them- selves together in a riotous and tumultuous manner, and have been guilty of many violent and criminal acts and proceedings, having. attacked the persons and houses of many of his Majesty ' s loyal subjects, in several parts of the city of Westminster, and county of Middlesex, and especially in the evenings and during the nights of fhe said three days : We therefore, taking the same in- to our most serious consideration, and being fully de- teripine'd on our part to use all means in our power to protect the lives and properties of his Majesty's loyal subjects, to preserve the public peace, and to bring to condign punishment the authors of such violences, have thought fit, in the name and on the behalf ofhis Majesty, and by and with the advice of his Majesty's Privy Council, to issue this proclamation, ana thereby strictly to exhort, charge, and com- mand all his Majesty's loyal subjects to give their issiftance in discountenancing and suppressing all such criminal acts and proceedings, and to give all informa- tion' to the Magistrates, by which the disturbers of his Majesty's peace nray be brought to punishment.

London, March 10. A most powerful sensation was produced both at the west end of the town and in the city this morning, by the receipt of simultaneous accounts brought from France by different messengers, of the standard of re- bellion having been erected in the south of that coun- try, and of BONAPARTE being at the head of a nume- rous army, which was hourly accumulating. The particulars which have come to our knowledge, besides those contained in the Paris journals are sup- plied either from the public notices which have been given, at two different periods, in the morning and after- noon of to- day, and from two gentlemen who reached London from France this morning. From the latter sources of intelligence we have ground to belieye that the insurrection in the provinces of Provence, Dau- phiny, and a considerable portion of Languedoc, is much more extensive than is generally supposed, and that although in the first instance BONAPARTE had only a handful of. troops, perhaps 1000 men, yet that within 48 hours he had congregated a very considerable army. We understand that Government is already apprised that a correspondence had been for sometime conducted [ between Marshal MASSENA and his late master, the j former holding one of the highest trusts in the king- dom as governor of the port of Toulon. This station, we hear, has declared in favour of BONAPARTE. The landing was effected, with a very small party, at Frejus, which is about 670 miles from Paris; and such was the rapidity of his movements, and such the facilities af- forded him by the inhabitants, who flocked to his ban- ners from the left bank of the Rhone, that he soon esta- blished his head- quarters at Grenoble, pushing onward his advanced posts towards Lyons, ' which is 351 miles i distant from the French capital. If is reported that the city of Lyons, who of all the commercial establishments of the empire;' was almost the only one who received extraordinary distinction and assistance from him, has ventured to plant the eagles of NAPOLEON on her ramparts, and the vicinity will pro- bably become the first scene of action, as public orders Sir W. COLTHURST said, that in Cork the same senti- ment prevailed.' Mr BaRing observed upon the very strong interest Ireland had to support the measure. In this case the petitioners were the very exporters of Irish corn.— ' Hear, hear.), . 1 Sir J. NEWPORT insisted, that if, the petitioners at Waterford were interested for the bill, the petitioners elsewhere, who opposed it, were equally interested against the bill, and both Were . to be heard.—( General cheers.) After a few words from Mr LOCKhART, Lord A. HAMILTON, Mr FITZGERALD, and Sir H.' PARNELL, the petition was brought up, ind Is id upon the table. Sir THOMAS ACKLAND presented a petition from Devonshire in favour of the corn bill, which, after a few word; from Sir G. HEATHCOTE, and a reply from Sir P. ACKLAND, was laid upon the table. Lord A. HAMILTON presented a petition from Glas- gow against the corn bill, and desired to . state positively that there was no truth in the assertion that the inhabi- tants had changed their sentiments, whatever the other member for Glasgow might have done.. Mr FINLAY observed that there was a great difference of sentiment in Glasgow, but he did not mean to say that the great majority had changed their opinions. A large proportion would be satisfied with the minimum of 75s. Petition read and laid on the table. WESTMINSTER PETITION. Sir F. BURDETT rose- to present this petition, signed by 40,173 persons. He wished to take this opportunity of contradicting the opinion that he was against the corn bill. The fact was, that he intended to leave these mat- fers entirely to Government. If the proper remedies of retrenchment for a situation of peace. had been resorted to„ no such measure to bolster up a factitious system j would be necessary. He lamented, as well as others, that the', public mind should be irritated and inflamed until it vented itself in open riot., What he stated to his, constituents was, that they should not wa- rt- j their pa- 1 tience upon petitions against the measure like the pre- i sent, but that they should strike at the root of the evil— the static of the representation. It had beer, asserted, in the public prints, that he was entirely overcome by his private interest; that the patriot had disapproved, and that the landholder stepped forward. It would not make one farthing difference to him whether the mea- sure passed or not. Every landholder might be said to have a kingdom of his own, and his little kingdom had always been on the peace establishment. Hesheld it to be the most futile and nugatory of all discussions, whether the bii] should be passed with the price of importation at 80s. or 70s. Whatever might be the result, he should neither raise or sink his rents. He was sure that a reform in Parliament would abolish every bill. The measure rose out of the profligate expenditure of the public money; out of the present cramped and con- tracted system. A noble Lord, in another place, had expressed his astonishment that Englishmen could en- dure such a peace establishment as was proposed to them, and that there was an intention ' to subvert the free constitution of the country, and to establish a mili- tary despotism. Whoever occupied the ministerial bench all the rest of the representatives bowed obedience. At any time that he should Vote, contrary to the opinion of his constituent,", he was ready to resign immediately, and not to " wait till, by the scandalous septennial, the Parliament should be terminated. He severely repro- bated the pracfice of placing troops in ambush, and in- sisted that those unfortunate persons who had been kill- ed were legally murdered. He would rather have his house levelled with the ground than so protected. The work before the House, be it good or bad, belonged to the Minister, and he was sorry if any country gentle- man made themselves cats paws upon such subjects.— There was but onfe way to renovate the constitution— by parliamentary reform. Mr ROBINSON rose under great embarrassment. He was most deeply afflicted by the unfortunate transaction to which the honourable Baronet had alluded, but he was mistaken in saying, that the soldiers were placed in ambush in his house. They were inside the house, be- cause they could have no protection out of it. The house had been entered three times, and the windows and doors were destroyed.—( He could not avoid shed- ding tears on the mention of the subject, and he was universally cheered by the House )— He thought that at leapt it was the duty of the honourable Baronet to ab- stain from making use of such expressions when he con- sidered the consequences. Lord CASTLEREAGH conceived that the honourable Baronet had completely travelled out of his course. He thought it was a little too much, when in the last year so many lives of his Majesty's subjects had been lost for the preservation of the honourable Baronet's liberty, to say that an Englishman was not at liberty to defend his castle and freedom against the depredations of a riotous and ungovernable mob. ( Hear, hear.) He trusted his temper would carry him through, but when such an abuse was made of the freedom of debate, he could not help stating, that in his opinion the only intention of the honourable Baronet was to destroy and subvert the constitution. ( Hear, hear, from all parts of the House.) The honourable Baronet had pot come down j to the House either to support or oppose the corn bill, and he could not imagine for what purpose he had so come down, but for the purpose of endeavouring to sub- vert the constitution. ( Hear, hear.) very highest pitch of excellence. In Richard an!) in Shylock, however, we think him less happy than In any of the others.' His powers are all of the lofty and im- pesing drder; they do not assimilate well' with what is cunning or hypocritical, and they are at open variance with what is savage, sordid, or cruel. ' They toWer and blaze rather than wither or consume. In the greater part of Richard, therefore, the high vein of the actor is almost obliterated, and it is only when the usurper casts the serpent's skin, and assumes the port of th » warrior and the hero, that KEMBLE'S " himself again." In Shy- lock, the contrast with his powers seems to us to be yet more unqualified; for the scowling savageness of this character being unrelieved by ope single softening or ele- vating feature, the actor is constantly labouring against the genuine bent of his attributes and talents, both phy- sical and moral. It will not be supposed that- even this delineation excludes some portion of that excellence which others exhibit throughout; but it exhibits less, we think, than any other of his performances with which we are acquainted. In Penruddock, on the other hand, in Hamlet, in Macbeth, and most of all, perhaps, in Wolsey, his sue* cess Was so transcendent as to render competition hope- less. , He played the whole of them with an evident de- termination to play his very best, and no aim was ever more perfectly accomplished. To barrow an odd, but very forcible expression, from a finely drawn character in the finest of all modern novels, he seemed " to turn down the very caulkers" of the various passions, they were given with such admirable force, precision, and ef- fect. The applause was correspondent to his efforts; it was at once rapturous and discriminating. It would be unpardonable not to mention Mrs SID- DONS'S exquisite performance of Portia, in the Merchant of Venice. Beautifully as this lady delineates every cha- racter within the scope of her fine talents, her Portia demands even more than her usual portion of high praise. It was indeed enough of itseif to reward the at- tendance of the audiense, had there been no Shylock ill the piece. Several advertisements are unavoidably delayed. COLOPHON.

Our Chancellor, Ministers, Secretaries of State, and our Director- General of Police, each in what concerns him, are charged with the execu- tion of the present Ordonnance, which shall be inserted in the Bulletin of Laws, addressed to all Governors of Military Divisions, Generals, Com- manders, Prefects, Sub- prefects, and Mayors of our kingdom, with orders to cause it to be printed and stuck up at Paris, and wherever else it may be have been given from every direction to collect in that neighbourhood the royal forces, and the Princes and Marshals who are to be opposed to the invader have taken the same route. Some private accounts represent the troops under BONAPARTE to amount to 109,000, others reduce them as low as 20,000, but all agree that they are rapidly augmenting. The immediate cause assigned for this bold and dan- gerous experiment is the disgust excited in the mind of ESCAPE OF LORD COCHRANE. I. ord COCHRANE has made his escape from the King's Bench prison. This discovery was made yesterday in the afternoon. It is supposed that he effected his escape on Sunday night. No person in the prison has seen him since. His servant says nine o'clock on that night was the last time he saw him. It has been suggested that his Lordship is probably concealed in the prison, such concealment being practicable, from the great number prisoners and of rooms, the latter amounting to 500. . But what purpose could this concealment answer? It would not assist his future escape. His period of im- prisonment would expire in June, and his circumstances are understood to be sufficiently ample to render his fine, which is 10001. no object. Under these circum- stances his motives are apparently unaccountable; but his friends, who have been in the habit of visiting him, say, he lias frequently declared, in the most solemn man- tier, that he never would pay the fine, as he felt that such payment would he an admission of guilt, which he utterly disavows; and that it was also his determina- tion to quit the country. This may explain his Lord- ship's conduct. A committee sat yesterday in the pri- son, to inquire into the circumstances of his escape, be- fore which Mr BUTT, Mr PRESCOTT, an officer in the navy, and several others, were examined. As the cir- cumstance was not generally known in the prison, a promise was obtained from them that they would not mention it, or divulge the evidence which they gave, for 24 hours. ' The last time Mr BUTT saw his l. ordship was on Saturday: he was then in very good spirits. Globe Office, one o'clock. The escape of Lord Cochrane was not generally known in the King's Bench this morning, until the de- livery of the morning papers, in which it is mentioned. It excited great surprise, as it was the idea of the people in the place, that had the doors been thrown open he would have disdained to avail himself of the opportu- nity. A party of the keepers are now employed in minutely examining the chambers. The committee is still sitting. They are expected to make their report this day. We are confidently assured that his Lordship was seen in Palace Yard, among the populace, on Tuesday. needful.

" We had on the 31st December last adjourned the two Houses, to resume their sittings on the 1st of May. During that time we had been preparing the objects upon which they were to occupy them- elves. The march of the Congress at Vienna per- mitted us to believe in the general establishment of a solid and durable peace ; and we were engaged, without ceasing, in all those labours which might ensure the tranquillity and happiness of the people. This tranquillity is disturbed— this happiness may be compromised by malevolence and treason. The promptitude and wisdom of the measures which we are taking will check their progress. Full of con- fidence in the zeal of which our Chambers have given us proofs, we are eager to call them around us. " If the enemies of the country have founded their hope upon the divisions which they have al- ways endeavoured to foment, its supporters, its le- gal defenders will destroy that criminal hope by the unattackable force of an undestructible union. " For these causes, we have ordered and do or- der what follows :— " Art. l. The Chamber of Peers and the Cham- ber of Deputies of Departments are convoked ex- traordinarily in the usual place of their Sittings. " 2. The Peers and Deputies of Departments absent from Paris, shall repair thither as soon as they are informed of the present Proclamation. " 3. The present ' Proclamation shall be inserted in the- Bulletin of Laws,, addressed to all the Pre- fects, Sub- prefects, Mayors, and Municipalities, of the kingdom, published and stuck up at Paris, and everv where else. 4.

( Signed) " LOUIS. " Paris, March 6. " Monsieur set off at five this morning for Lyons. The Dukes of Berry and Orleans will set off to- morrow morning for Besancon and Lyons." On the subject of BONAPARTE'S landing in France, Government have issued the following. OFFICIAL BULLETIN Dispatches have been received from Lord FiTZRoy SOMERSET, dated the 6th and 7th instant, with the in- telligence of BONAPARTE having landed, at the head of about 1000 men, between Antibes and Frejus, on the 3d or 4th. The King of FRANCE had, in consequence, issued a proclamation on the 7th, declaring BONAPARTE a traitor, and calling upon all persons to seize and op- pose him. Marshal MACDONALD and General Gov- VION ST CyR, had been sent to command the troops who were to be opposed to him; and a considerable force was collecting at Lyons. MONSIEUR and the Duc d'ORLEANs had also gone to the southward. The most perfect tranquillity prevailed at Paris, and the King had received the corps diplomatique as usual BONAPARTE by the contemptuous treatment he received from the Sovereigns at Congress, and especially by the opposition given to his demand that his wife and son should be restored to him. The close of the negotia- tions for the fulfilment of his purposes at Vienna was the signal for activity, and the consequence has been the situation we have now stated. The consternation at Paris at the time when the news arrived of this unexpected invasion was general with all ranks and classes of persons, and the impression it made on the monied interest is obvious, from the funds ha- ving fallen five per cent. Under these circumstances, we are informed, that his Majesty's Government has not been negligent in its duties for the defence of our ally on the throne of France. Orders, it is said, were sent off this morning, to put our troops in Belgium in motion towards the French frontiers, in order that they may be ready to act for the protection of the rights of the BOURBONS, at at any moment when their services shall be required. The same co- operation, it is presumed, will be put in effect by EMANUEL VICTOR, in the duchy of Savoy, and by all the potentates, so lately confederated for the expulsion of the same enemy. In this singular and unlooked for predicament, we shall attentively watch the march of events, and trans- mit to you the earliest and most correct information we can acquire. Some letters mention, that the English, in general, were preparing to leave France. The details in the French papers, unconnected with the important transactions to which we have just re- ferred, must be of little comparative interest. Our dates from Vienna are to the end of February, and we find that the King of SAXONY had not given his de- termination as to his concurrence with the arrange- ments of Congress. The city of Dresden and the whole of Saxony is represented to be in a state of great alarm, and that it is feared that New Saxony, as it is called, will be incapable of supporting itself under the burdens it will haVe to sustain. It is reported that Lord COCHRANE effected his escape from the King's Bench prison, on Monday last, in a hogshead, that had been emptied for the supply of the place. '" It is' with great satisfaction we state, that from the precautions taken, both by the civil and military powers, there have been to- day, up to the present moment, no riots, and no insults have been offered to the members of either House attending their duty in Parliament. The funds have been considerably affected by the news received to- day— Three per cent consols, which opened at 64^ for the account, left off at 62|. Consols for money 62f. House of Lords, March 10.

THE balsamic qualities of TOLU have beea long and justly celebrated for their efficacy in coughs, hoarsenesses, sore throats, spitting of blood, and every unpleasantness attendant on asthmatic complaints; and its lozenge has been found to possess an advantage over every other, by not being in the least cloying to the stomach. The elegant preparation now offered to the public by Mr Butler, will be found to contain a greater portion of its balsamic properties, while, at the same time, its fla- vour is more agreeable than that of any other.

ROBT. BRUCE, Manager. London and Edinr. Shipping Co's. Office^ LeITh, March 13. 1815. LONDON. CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. , The institutory dinner of the friends and pa- trons of this excellent institution— the object of which is to provide for the education and sup- port of such children of soldiers and marines, natives of Scotland, as cannot be admitted into the royal establishments of Chelsea and Green- wich, and of indigent Scots parents, resident in London, not entitled to parochial relief— took place on Saturday last, at the Freemasons tavern. A little after six o'clock, the Duke of York, the Duke of Sussex, and the Duke of Kent, ac- fcompanied by the French; Austrian* Russian, Prussian, Spanish and Portuguese Ambassadors, and a great number of General Officers, amongst whom we observed the Earl of Breadalbane and Lord Lynedoch; were ushered into the room by the stewards, amidst the acclamations of the as- sembled company. The Dukes of York and Kent wore military uniforms— the former that of a Field- Marshal, the latter that of a General Of- ficer. The Duke of Sussex was attired in the Scottish military costurtie ( in which many of the stewards appeared), and looked extremely well in his tartans. The gallery opposite to the chair was filled with ladies of the first distinction, including two of the fair patronesses of the in stitution, the Marchioness of Stafford and the Countess of Breadalbane. The Duke of York having taken the chair, the company sat down to a sumptuoui banquet. The first toast given by the chairman was, " His Majesty the King," which was drank in respectful silence. The healths of the " Queen, the Patro8es3 of the institution," and of" their Royal Highnesses the Vice- Patronesses," were drank with enthu- siasm. The venerable Sir ARCHIBALD MACDONALD, late Chief Baron of the Exchequer, in a neat and appropriate speech, in which he pointed out the vast benefits which the country derived from the Caledonian Asylum, and paid a well merited cortipliment to the virtues of their illustrious chairman, who, he observed, by his support of the institution at Chelsea, had unequivocally ex pressed his opinion of the manner in which the soldier ought to be rewarded, proposed " The health of the Duke of York and Albany, vice- president of the institution," which was drank with three " times three, and every mark of approbation. The following song, written for the occasion by Mr Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, was beau tifully executed by Master Millar, a pupil of Mr Addison :— AIR— ThE Birks of Invermay. The flag wav'd o'er the castle wa', The hind cam' lilting o'er the lea, Loud joy rang thro' the lighted ha', An' ilka ane was blithe but me ; For, ah! my heart had tint its glee, Altho' the wars had worn away :— The breast that used my stay to be, Was lyin' cauld in foreign clay. I looket east, I looket west, I saw the darksome coming even, The wild bird had its cozy nest, The kid was to the hamlet driven, But house nor hame, aneath the heaven, Except the skeugh of greenjvood tree, 0 that was a' the comfort given To my three little bairns an' me. I had a prayer I cou'd na' say, 1 had a vow I doughtna breathe. For aye they led my words astray, An' aye they were connectet baith, , Wi' ane wha now was cauld in death. I looket round wi' watery e'e; Hope was na' there, but I was faith To see my little babies die. Just as the breeze the aspen stirr'd, And bore aslant the falling dew, 1 thought I heard a bonny bird Singing amid the air so blue ; It was a lay that did renew The hope deep sunk in misery; It was of ane my woes that knew, And some kind hearts that car'd for me. O sweet as breaks the rising day, Or sun- beam thro' the wavy rain, Fell on my soul the cheering lay- Was It an angel pnur'd the strain, Wha kens a yearning mother's pain, Bent o'er the child upon her knee ? O mine will bless, and bless again, The generous hearts that car'd for me. A cot was rear'd by Mercy's hand Amid the Grampian wilderness- It fose as if by magic wand, A shelter to forlorn distress ! An' weel I ken that Heaven will bless The hearts that issued the decree— The widow and the fatherless Can never pray, and slighted be. The Earl of BREADALBANE proposed " The health, of the Duke of Clarence," which was driink with three times three. CHARLES GRANT, Esq. M. P. prefaced " The health of the Duke of Kent, President of the institution," with a very able and animated speech. There was, he observed, no duty more imperious than that of affording protection to the children of their deceased soldiers— nor was there any delight more profound, or pleasure more heart- soothing, than that which arose from the exten- sion of relief to the offspring of the brave men who had fallen in the defence of their country. When, in former times, a great General was leading his troops to the field, he cheered the spirits of his soldiers, who were oppressed with the fear of leaving their children unprotected, by exclaiming—" Be not apprehensive for your chil dren ! From this day they are not your chil. dren, but the children of your country." This Was a noble sentiment. But it remained for his Royal Highness, in later days, to carry the prin eiple fully into effect. In the name of the Scot- tish people, he returned thanks to his Royal Highness for the pains he had taken, both in his civil and military capacity, to minister to the wants of the Caledonian soldier, and to assist his family when their protector had fallen in the field of battle. The toast was drank with three times three. The, Duke of KENT shortly returned thanks. As President of the Society, he should use his best exertions to promote its interests. Song, Mr Sinclair—" Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled." J. P. GRANT, Esq. M. P. proposed, after an appropriate speech, " The health of the Duke of Sussex," which was drank with three times three. . The Duke of SUSSEX, in returning thanks, paid a very handsome compliment to the brave officers by whom he was surrounded— who, ha- ving shed their blood in the defence of their country, now stood forward to plead the cause t » f those who had fallen in the contest. " The memory of those who have gallantly fallen," was drank in silence. Glee—" Peace to the souls of the heroes." Toast—" The Foreign Ministers." The Duke of KENT returned thank3. Toast—" The City of London, and the Trade there- at." The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. The Duke of KENT informed the meeting, that the subscriptions received that day amounted vo .53001. The Duke of YORK quitted the chair a little before twelve o'clock, and was succeeded by the Duke of SUSSEX, who kept up the conviviality the evening for a considerable time. Letters from Tunis, of the 20th January, an- nounce that there has been a complete revolu- tion in the Government of that regency; and, as in all countries ruled by despots, the revolution had been unexpected and bloody. The old Bey, Sidi Ottoman, has been assassinated by his cou- sin Sidi Mahomet Flassen, who had for a long- time enjoyed his confidence and favour. The two sons of the unfortunate Sidi Ottoman were in the apartments of their wives, at the time when their father was murdered. They left the wo- men to tha mercy of the rebels, and tried to save their lives by running to the fort Goulette; but they were pursued, and brought back into the presence of Sidi Mahomet who immediately ordered their heads to be cut off. He was after- wards acknowledged absolute Lord of the Re- gency. The family of Ottoman is extinct. The commencement of this usurpation has been marked by other executions. Jussuf Koggia, who is appointed Minister to Mahomet, has be gun to exercise his functions by impaling Mariano Stiaka, who possessed great authority under the last government, but had merited a general odium by his cruelties and pride. Mahmet, the rene- gado physician, has been strangled by order of the same Minister. The latter has soon expe rienced the vicissitudes of fortune. Since the massacre of the family of Ottoman, he had con ceived the project of putting to death the new Chief of the Regency by means of a considerable party that was devoted to his interests, and mount- ing the throne himself. When he was in the act of distributing money among the troops, a chief of the Mamelukes seized him by the beard, and led him before the new Bey, who reproached him with his treachery, and caused him to be executed in his sight. The enraged people dragged his dead body through all the streets of the city, and likewise through the town of Bazuna. The soldiers took an oath of allegiance to Sidi Ma- homet, and tranquillity was entirely restored. Tuesday, the government of the Royal Bank of Scotland was vested in the folowing noblemen and gentlemen :— GOVERNOR, His Grace the Dukeot BUCCLEuCH and QUEENSBERRY.

Lord CASTLEREAGH, beforehis departure from Vienna, delivered medals in the name of England to all the Sovereigns. On one side is a bust of the PRINCE REGENT, on the reverse are these words—" Happiness to the noble Prince;" and beneath an urn the following inscription— " To the Memory of the End of Congress." M. CYPRIANO RIBERO FREIRE is coming to this country to officiate, pro tempore, as Am- bassador from the Court of Portugal, the Mar- quis de FONCHIALE ( DON DOMINGO de SOUZA), the present Minister, having received orders to repair to Rome to congratulate his Holiness the POPE on his restoration to his ecclesiastical and temporal dignities. As soon as the Count de PALMELA shall have fulfilled his high duties at Congress, he will supersede M. FREIRE at the Court of London. Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH is the purchaser of Burlington- house, Piccadilly, and is about to put it in complete repair. A misunderstanding has recently arisen in I- taly about the postage of letters, in consequence of which the correspondence has been interrupt- ed, to the serious injury of all the merchants con- cerned in the Mediterranean commerce. This interruption is said to have first arisen from a con- siderable impost having been laid by the King of SARDINIA upon all Post Office letters arriving in his dominions. By recent accounts f/ om Paris we learn, that the most magnificent preparations are making in that capital for celebrating the happy event of a general peace. All possible testimonies of na- tional rejoicing are to take place on the day when the prochmation announcing the final ratification is issued. Vessels arc taken up by the Transport Board, to proceed to Ostend, for the purpose either of bringing from Belgium the second battalion re giments of infantry to be incorporated with the first, or for the immediate conveyance of the brigade of guards to England. From a return to the House of Commons, it appears that our advances to Spain, subsequent to the 1st of January 1814, amounted to 1,808,754 dollars. In the conflagration that look place on Thurs- day morning, at Mr CLOWES' printing office, Northumberland Court, Strand, two bibles, in a great state of forwardness; a new opera, nearly completed, which is to be performed on Tuesday next; and an immense quantity of Government work, fell a sacrifice to the flames. One fount of letter alone ( pearl) cost upwards of 10001. The loss of property is very great, and, with the exception of the account books, not an article was saved. It is impossible to ascertain how the fire originated, as the premises were examined after the workmen left them, and all appeared safe. , On the 28th a special commission was opened at Justice- hall, in the Old Bailey, for the trial of William Sawyer, charged witti the murder of HARRIETT GASKETT, at Lisbon. The grand jury being sworn, and the bill of indictment laid before thervi, the witnesses in support of the pro- secution were examined, the bill found, and the prisoner arraigned, when he pleaded not guilty. Mr Justice HEATH and Mr Baron RICHARDS attended at the Old Bailey on Wednesday, un- der the above commission, when the trial was deferred till the next session, in consequence of the absence of a material witness for the prisoner. It gives us great pleasure to understand, that the directors of the Bank of Scotland, desirous of giving every encouragement to the establish- ment of parish banks for the savings of the poor, have authorised the agents, at their different of- fices, to receive such sums as these banks may find it convenient to deposit with them, and to allow them interest at the rate of five per cent. Almost every town and village in the west of Scotland have petitioned Parliament against the intended alteration of the corn laws. On Monday, at the ordinary meeting of the Town Council of Perth, it was unanimously re- solved that petitions should be presented to both Houses of Parliament, praying that the price at which the importation of wheat shall in future be allowed, may be fixed at 72s. At the same meeting, it was determined to present peti- tions, praying, that in the bill for establishing jury trial in civil cases in Scotland, unanimity may not be required, but that a majority may de- cide, as is the practice at present in criminal cases. These petitions have been forwarded al ready. Wednesday night the different incorporations of Perth met in their respective halls, and agrep4 to petition Parliament against making any altera- tion whatever in the corn laws. Early on the morning of Wednesday the 1st instant, the family at Bonnington, near Peebles, was alarmed by a fire, which broke out in the kitchen of the farm- house, through the negli- gence of the servants taking a candle too near the combustible materials of the bed, where two of them slept. The flames gradually increased, without being observed, till the smoke roused part of the family, who fortunately succeeded in extinguishing the fire, before much damage was done. We are sorry, however, to add, that the two servants, who were the primary cause of this unlucky occurrence, were very seriously burnt, while lying in bed, and they are still ( one in particular) in a dangerous state, and not expect- ed to survive. On the night of the 3d inst. a man who was attending alone on the mill of Balgrey, about five miles from Perth, the lower part of his arm entangled in some part of the machinery, by which it was dreadfully crushed. Though he could not release himself, he was providentially able to reach with his foot a lever, by pressing which he stopped the mill. His arm, however, being still held fast, and nobody near to hear his cries, he remained in this cruel situation till seven o'clock on the following morning, when medical aid was procured, and after having suf- fered amputation, we understand he is likely to do well. The weather, during the month of February, has been remarkably mild, a circumstance of great importance to farmers, when fodder and straw were scarce. The thermometer was, upon an average, six degrees higher every morning and evening in February 1815, than in February 1814.. COUNTRY RESIDENCE, EIGHTEEN MILES FROM EDINBURGH.

The month of February has been uncommonly mild for this climate, and the labours of the field are in forward a state in this district as could be wished. The prices of grain rose a little when it was known that the pdrts were to be shut against further importation oi grain, but the supply has been fully equal to the demand in the markets of this district, and it seems to be gene- rally supposed, that, from the quantity of grain already imported, and what remains on hand of the full crop of last year, high prices cannot be eipedted till it be seen what crop 1815 is likely to produce. The market for fat cattle, which had previously been good, began to be overstocked about the beginning of the year, and prices have been depressed, and the de- mand heavy ever since; Mutton alone, of all the ar- ticles the farmer has to sell, bears a high price and in good demand March 1. FORFARSHIRE. During the month of February, we have had heavy winds and mlieh rain; but the general aspect has been open and mild beyond precedent, and every appearance seems to indicate an earlier and more genial spring than we have experienced for several years past. GraSs, and particularly wheat,' has already assumed a verdant and most promising appearance. Wheat has improved in price about six shillings per boll; oats, from one to two; but barley is very little in demand, and has rather declined. Farm work of all kinds is in a state of great forward- ness, and we know a few instances of beans and pease being sown as early as the 20th of the month. Lean stock of all kinds. has fallen, and even fat cattle have considerably given way. When the fall of cattle on the DESIRABLE RESIDENCE WITHIN SEVEN MILES OF EDINBURGH, TO BE LET.

T here is also a small dwelling- house, very convenient- ly fitted up as a summer- house, which lets from 401. to 451. yearly, with stabling for two horses, and a small garden. The situation of this spot is uncommonly beautiful and commands an extensive prospect towards the Frith of Forth and the adjacent country. The grounds are laid out with a great deal of taste, and enclosed with very high Hedges of holly. There is an excellent situa- tion for a DISTILLERY on the premises. Besides these, and many other advantages attending, this situation, a great benefit may be derived from feu- ing the ground along the Bonnington road for building on, from its vicjnity to the New Town and the improve- ments going forward on the road from Edinburgh to Newhaven.

The corn bill, that ephemeral delusion, as your able and judicious reporter for Kincardineshire has most aptly denominated it, is now sure to pass. This mea- sure, and the circumstances attending it, are now more clearly developed; and we are not only more fu'ly con- firmed in our opinion that the bill will afford no mate- rial relief to the agriculturists, but are even doubtful if it will not counteract the very end which it is intended to promote. As the bill may perhaps undergo some material alterations, and as the public mind is too much agitated to weigh its . merits in. a cool and disinterested manner, it would be premature to discuss it minutely ; but as soon as it passes, we shall take an early opportu- nity of offering some remarks to the public, i, near Brechin, March 1.1SI5.

January 1815. DUMFRIES, 22d October 1812. SIR, AT the age of 14 years I received a severe blow on my leg, by which I was confined sometime; lie- fore I had recovered, I had a second stroke on the same- leg, a little above the old sore; and, unfortunate indeed for me, a few months after athird blow, more severe than either of the former, just below the knee, by which I was confined to my bed for many months. I was at- tended by a surgeon, to whom I was related, and other professional gentlemen, whom he called in; but all their efforts to abate the inflammation and aleviatethe excru- ciating pain werefruitless, my shin bone being shattered from a little below the knee down to my foot. During my long and painful affliction of no less than 11, years, my leg became full of deep corrosive ulcers, and the bone of course became carious, splinters of which, as they exfoliated, worked out. My leg had now become one entire ulcer, and more and larger splinters from the bone appeared. At this time, though only 25 year » of age, I despaired of ever being cured. In this drcad- ful state I was advised to consult Mr James Frazer, Sur- geon, Dumfries, who recommended me to make use of your Antiscorbutic Drops'. I immediately' purchased bottle, of which I had taken but a short time when se- veral splinters of bone discharged. I now agreeable to Mr Frazer's further advice, coitir. nod the u< e of the drops, and in a few weeks, another large splinter, four inches long, came away: after this my leg put on a more healthy appearance, and, however incredible this fact may appear, such was rapid progression of healing, that two small and one large bottle of your Drops, have, by the blessing of Providence, made a perfect cure; and my leg is now, and has for some months past, been in every respect . -' V .11 and strong as, the other. Grateful for the benefit I have received, Mr J. FraZer, Dumfries, or myself, will, with pleasure, personally, or by letter, post paid, give any further information required. I am, with the greatest respect. Sir, your obliged humble servant, J. LAING, Torthorwald, near Dumfries Attested by James Frazer, Druggist, Dumfries. To Mr J. Lignum, Surgeon, Manchester.

IT is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall vic- tims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilful- ness of illiterate men, who, by an improper treatment of this direful calamity, not unfrequently cause those foul ulcerations and blotches which so often appear on the head, face, and body, with dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, strictures, obstinate gleets, nodes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs ( frequent- ly mistaken for other disorders), till at length a gene- ral debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to suffering mor- tality. With each box is given a copious bill of direc- tions, by which all persons are enabled speedily to cure themselves with safety and secrecy, without the least confinement or hindcrance of business. Its amazing sale within the last 50 years, though seldom adverti- sed, is a certain criterion of its immense utility.— Price only 4s. 6d. per box.
