In fine, the wishes of a dying Bourbon have recommended the men whom France rejects with horror, not to the justice of the Princes his successors, but to their inexhaustible goodness. The Count du BOLDEKU ( from the Moibihan) said, that though thoy all acknowledged the necessity of an amnesty, yet as to the exceptions each member should speak his own impressions and the instructions of his constituents ( murmurs ! ) He would speak with frankness; ht was a Frenchman, and would only live to see the King firmly seated on the thioneof St Louis and Eouis X I V .

Most important letter from the Duke of W E L L I N O T O V to the Seeretaries of the Society for the Protection o » Religious Liberty. ( Copy.) « Paris, Nov. 28. 1815. " GENTLEMEN— I have had the honour of receiving your letter of the 24th instant, and I take the earliest opportunity of replying to it, " 1 have every reason to believe that the public, and the societv of which you are tl\ e secretaries, have been misinformed regarding What is passing in the uouth of Fi ance. " It is natural that there should be violent contests in a country in which the people are divided, not only by adiffeience of religion, but likewise by a difference of political opinion, and that the religion of every individual is in genera) the sjgn of the political paity to which he belongs, and at a moment of peculiar political interest, and of weakness in the government on account of the mutiny of the army, that the weaker party should suffer, and that much injustice and violence should be committed by individuals of the mone n; imcr rous preponderating party. But as far au I have any knowledge, acquired during my residence at this Court last year, and since the entry of the allies into Paris, the Government have done every thing in their power to put an end to tlie disturbances which have prevailed in the soilth of France, and to protect all his Majesty's subjects in conformity with his Majesty's promise in his royal charter, in the exercise of their religious duties, according to tlveir several persuasion*? and 1 in the enjoyment of their several privjleges, whatever may be their religious peisuasion's.

SIMEON began, by establishing the necessity of an amnesty, and the difference between an amnesty and a pardon. Pardon was always voluntary, an amnesty was sometimes forced. It was the treaty of a prince with his domestic enemies, and was an appendage of royalty. He was not astonished that there were exaggerated opinions, and that some cries called for vengeance ; but all might be terminated by the amnesty. Three capital judgments had been given at Paris, two at Boideaux, sixteen others would soon be given in some parts of France. The prisons scarcely can contain the number of persons accused. Were not nineteen capital punishments enough, and was it not seen that justice had taken its course ? France had no thirst for blood, but of peace and tranquillity. To exact an indemnity from the property of the guilty would be to re- establish confiscation. As to the regicides, he would express but one sentiment— horror for regicide, but respect for the will of the august Monarch, who bv his will forgave it. Respect also for his august brother, who, though he might contest this legacy of meiCy, would rather pay it entirely without reserve.

Wiliiana Midgley to be Ensign, vice Gurleya measure prescribed by our long calamity, by the love of humanity, by the love of rejiose, and by the want felt of exercising a virtue so natural to all good Kings. ' That this measure may have all its effect, it should be of a nature to calm animosities, dissi pate fears, and persuade those only misled that they may become the friends of a Government which protects them even against the remorse of their own consciences. I am greatly mistaken if the idea which I have presented of an amnesty is not shared by the best instant the property of history, of Kings. Let us imitate the conduct pursued; J ' ' "" by a Prince whom 20 years of misfortunes have' instiucted. The ordinance of the 24; h July, incomplete as it is, was the only point from whence we could set out. The whole of the committee shared irt this sentiment. The majority recognised the lespect due to acts emanating from the royal power; it endeavoured to find in the terms of the ordinance itself, the means of extending the exceptions. Let it not be forgotten that ihe eporter told you, that he had studied it s clauses, not forfeited.

The act presented to its deliberation, irrevocable in its nature and its effect, becomes in an I t will fix the ^ udgment of posterity. This solemn act will teach Euiope whether the remonstrances of the nation are useless, whether the French peopleshould blush for ever for the crimes with which the world, charges them, or whether they should, throw back on a factious but luling minority, the shame of 25 years of errors and crimes ; whether at last being at liberty to manifest the national will, we shall be able to signalise our hate against the detestable oppressors of our country ? A century and a halt has passed away since a neighbouring nation, famous also for its long calamities " and the crimes of some factious spirits, was. able to raise its humiliated head with glory, and by striking examples, avenge the royal blood and the national honour. . Separated from the continent, and delivered by the death of Cromwell, and the weakness of his descendants, more happy also in its warriors, England owed only to herself^" thS' restoration, of her honour. Rivals in glory and in generous sentiments, but betrayed by fortune, broken under a sceptre of iron, it is from the whole of Europe that we received the pledge of a tranquillity which we should hope to be durable. France tore herself from the slavery of a tyrant to pass into the paternal arms of her King; but on the 20th of March, a horrible conspiracy plunged us into an abyss of misfortunes. We must prevent tbe return of such horrors by malting examples. The assassins of their Kings, the murderers of Fre- nchmen, require oblivion of the past— these foot, to te Fort- Major teased, • » • His speech ( which was long) was interrupted by some murmurs. M. BLONDEL D'AUBERS asked, what the King had found on his it- entrance into France ? Except the soil, the climate, and French honour, which nothing could destroy, all was changed ; manners, principles, habits ; and yet these manners, these principles, these habits, formed the chief support of the ancient Government.- These principles must be re- strengtheHed. 1 will frankly say, that the proposed law appears to me incomplete ; the plan of the committee remedies \ vhat was imperfect in it. M. KOYAK COLI. AUD commenced by reviewing the circumstances under which the 1' wishing to separate the rebels from the traitors who had misled them, published the amnesty of Cambray. The pat don there promised wa; pardon irrevocably acquired. The addition of a single exception would be a retractation ot the Prmces's clemency. If tbe Chamber alters the measure destined to the re- establishing of in temal tranquillity, its responsibility will be great before Europe and before posterity. I will not be wiser than the King; laying my personal responsibility at the foot of the throne, I vote for the law without any amendment. M. de RONCIIEROLLES gave his opinion in favour of the committee, with a slight change in the drawing up of the report. He thought that the banished individuals, deprived of their pensions, or of the property which they had acquired gratuitously, should not be stripped of their titles. Tbe deprivation of titles was a degradation which could be pronounced only by a tribunal. The sitting rose at five o'clock, and the discussion will be continued to- morrow at noon.— There are more than one hundred speakers inscribed in the list. tions, ringing of bells, See. in honour of their victorious return from the field of Waterloo. The 4- 2d Royal Highlanders, commanded by Colonel DICK, marched into Chelmsford Baracks on Monday and Tuesday, from France. T h e following troops are now in Colchester garrison, viz. the 33d, 73d, and 92d regiments, depots of the 30th and & 0th regiments, horse and foot artillery, the Cambridgeshire militia, and about 400 sick and wounded— in all about 3000 men. We understand that a farther reduction of the army is in contemplation ; but the precise plan of retrenchment has not been made public. It is reported, however, that some of the second battalions will be totally reduced, and others partially, probably to four companies. The reduction will, we hear, take place at the end of the current quarter. The last accounts from Rome are of the 2J December, and are not so satisfactory as the preceding. Cardinal LITA was to leave Rome on the 4th, to proceed to Milan, to meet the Empeior of AUSTRIA 5 and, therefore, the proceedings in the sacred congregation respecting the Irish Catholic affairs were suspended. Cardinal GONSALVI stated, that the POPE as yet declines giving any answer until it shall be known whether the Parliament will completely emancipate the Catholics in the next session. His Eminence observed, that the letter from Genoa was conditional, and by no means compulsory. In the new pantomime now performing at Drury Lane Theatre, a beggar solicits alms of Harlequin, who, with a stroke of his wand, turns her rags into apparent gold.

NAVAL COURT- MARTIAL.— A Court- martial was held at Portsmouth on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday last, when seven were convicted ot shocking crimes, and received sentence of death.

The Apodaca 6chooner, which has reached the Havannah from the coast pf Africa, with a cargo of 297 slaves, is valued with her lading at 50,0001. on account of the high price of humari flesh under the present difficulties attending the importation. All the effort, of the' Government to prevent the intercourse ol Cuba with " foreigners have been ineffectual, and it is considered that the orders from the parent state for the e- xciusioa of their trade will never be carried into execution, from the naval and military imbecility of the settlement.

Nothing farther has transpired about LAVALETTE, nor do we expect to hear any tidings of him from any quarter than Bavaria. Madame LAVALETTE is promised her liberty so soon as it is ascertained that her husband is out of the reach of French jurisdiction Her health requires that such intelligence may shortly reach Paris.

His M A J E S T Y has enjoyed good bodily health, and lias been generally tranquil during the last month; but . lid;. M A J E S T Y ' S disorder is not abated. ; Signed by the five Physicians T h e arrival of the Paris papers to Thursday last, has put ua in possession of • the first day's discussion in t h e Chamber of Deputies on the rlaw of amnesty. The question came on, as had • been decided, on Tuesday, and was simply, whether the prbject of law proposed by the King's Ministers, or that since presented with the amendments by the committee, should be adopted.— ^ T h e interest excited on the occasion was suitable to the magnitude of the subject, and attracted an immense audience. We have given the speeches cf the different members. Four speakers and tM. de VAUBLANC, the Minister of the Interior, were Heard in favour of the ministerial pro ject, and four delivered their opinions in support of that recommended by the committee * One of the Paris papers adds, the debate was conducted with great moderation and propriety, only one instance having occurred of any departure from strict order. The case alluded to was ' that of M. LE' BOURDONNAYE, who, alluding to LAVALETTE'S escape, imputed it to the remissness of Ministers. This called up Count VAUBI. ANC) who- prenounced an eulogium upon himself and his coadjutors, and denied the charge of remissness. . With respect to the amnesty, he said it accorded With the general wishes of the 1 French nation, and avowed the existence of a very extensive systefti of espionage, as the means of his obtaining this information. As only nine speakers out of upwards of 200, whose names >* have been registered, as intending to deliver their sentiments, have spoken on the subject of the amnesty, the debate was likely to last for sometime. forms and honorary distinctions to be Prussians. The importance the little party assumed did not fail to attract the notice of the usual visitors— none, however, deemed themselves sufficiently authorised to ask any questions respecting them Next morning EXCELM ANS was at the coffeeroom earlier than usual, and as no one pretended to inquire who his companions of the previous evening were, he asked the opinion of the com pany as to the quality of his two friends, and perceiving them quite at a loss to name any one in particular declared his two companions were LAVALETTE and a confidential friend in the disguise of Prussian officers. The story was believed, and several letters were sent the same night to Paris, announcing the intelligence. In the course of a day or two it was ascertained from a correct description of LAVALETTE'S person, and other circumstances, that General EXCELMANS had imposed upon the people at Brussels, either to amuse himself with their easy credulity, or with a view of serving a friend and a brother Bonapartist. The British officers were represented, a short time ago, as feeling greatly annoyed at their being obliged to continue for sometime in France, after the war was ended, instead of enjoying themselvesarnong theirfriendsin their own cotlntry, The Paris letters now inform us, that the military are completely reconciled to the customs of France and their present situation; but, unwilling to forget all at dnce old habits and old customs, they have procured from England a pack of harriers, some good hunters, and a few high- mettled racers, which are meant to afford the officers diversion in the spring, unless, contrary to all rea- 6onable expectation, the French should cut out for them different employment.

" HisMajesty, always attentive to the well- being of his subjects, and anxious to efface all traces of the usurper, in respect to the usages of our ancestors, has published an ordinance, by which the code Napoleon, which is yet in operation, is to be abrogated on 1st Janu ary next. Several Committees are employed under the direction of the Marquis Tornasi, Minister of Justice, who holds temporarily the Portfolio of the Minister of the Interior, and for'Ecclesiastical Affairs. These committees are forming a new civil and criminal code, and as their labours are not terminated, its' promulgation and adoption may eventually be delayed beyondthe first day of the new year." The official Gazette of Naples contains a longer article on the same - subject, in which a vindication is attempted of the summary proceedings against MUKAT, and a short history is given of the circumstances which preceded the second establishment of LOUIS X V I I I . on the throne of France. At Warsaw much industry was applied to the organisation of the Polish Government. The accounts from the same city farther add, that four.- regiments of Russian hussars, under General DOCTOROW, had continued at Warsaw ; that their procrastination was attributed not to any necessity for their services in Poland. It seems that a principal bridge of the Vistula had been carried away by the ice, which it had become necessary to restore before these troops could resume their march. An inquiry is pursued, according to intelligence from Switzerland, into the conduct of certain Helvetic regiments, as the subsequent particulars will explain :— " Lausanne, Dec. 15. In the sitting of the 1.3th, the Grand Council has ratified the resolution of the Diet against the officers, subalterns, and soldiers, of the four Swiss regiments. T H E T H E A T R E . ' J On Saturday evening last, Mrs H E N R Y SIDCOHS made' her first appearance this season, in the character of Viola, in Twelfth Night, and seldom have we been more gratified than in beholding the' universal acclamation with which the return ofthis distinguished actress to her professional duties was welcomed by the Edinburgh. audience, For a few moments her efforts were damped by the agitation of her feelings; but as that subsided, she displayed all that rich variety ol talent, which so beautifully piarks and diversifies this lady's performances. On Monday v » e witnessed, with great pleasure, her representation of Juliet, in the tragedy of Romeo and JHbet. Mrs H E N R Y SIDDONS'S performance of this character has long enjoyed a first- rate reputation in. hoth the principal London theatres, and her,' exertions on Monday evening amply proved the ' justice with which it was acquired. In many instances Mrs H. SIDDONS differ? essentially from her cot'emporaries, and, in our opinion, successfully so. Her garden scene with Romeo was neither injured by the cold and affected prudery we . have seen assumed by some Juliets, nor rendered unpleasant by that light and frivolous indulgence of the feelings we have observed in others. Her whole deportment spoke the force, the purity of her attachment, an attachment not founded on the transitory basis of girlish fondness, or displayed with all the hasty ebullition of girlish vanity, but engrafted on the heart, capable of the greatest, the most fearful sacrifices, and once revealed, firmly maintained to the last struggle of expiring nature. . In this, and every part of the character, Mrs SIDDONS was equally successful, whether rising in the agony of wild despair, or suffering under the heavier pressure of concealed grief; the truth of her conception, and beauty of her execution, repeatedly drew forth the just and unanimous admiration of her auditors. The Romeo of Mr PUTNAM increased the very favourable impression the constant good sense and feeling of his performances has made upon us. Throughout, the Play was well sustained, and we were much pleased to observe an attention paid to the subordinate characters, formerly much neglected iu our Theatre. Although the abilities of Mrs EYRE could not be called into action by the performance of Lady Capulet, still she looked, what that character ought to appear— a woman of the first rank and family in Ve ror. a. Her mate was also ably represented by Mr M'GIBBON. The performance, in every respect, is worthy of public patronage; and it is by the support of such Plays as the present, that the public of Edinburgh should realise the character they have acquired for a sound and just dramatic taste.

Those who have endeavoured to form themselves into corps of the army under Napoleon Bonaparte, or who engaged others to enter into his service; 2. Those officers who, after 20th March 1815, served in the regiments Stoilel, they are declared unfit to command Swiss troops belonging to the federation; 3, Those who, without regard to the call of their country, have remained in France under frivolous pretexts. The Diet expresses its serious disapprobation of their conduct, and leaves it to the respective Governments ofthe cantons to dispose of these persons as may be suited to the offence." The Kilsic, WOOD, has reached the outport from New York, but she has not brought papers with later information than to the 12th of last month. It appears that the Republican Govern ment has been successful at length in its negotiations with one of the savage tribes, as will be seen by the following e x t r a c t :— " St Louis, Oct. 30. " His Excellency Governor Edwards and Colonel Augusti Chouteau, two of the commissioners for treating with the Indians on the Mississippi and its waters, concluded a treaty, a few days ago, of peace and amity with the Komsas Indians. " This, like several others, is a tribe of Indians which had no occasion to put our Government to the trouble of treating; but 1 believe their main object has been to afford themselves an opportunity of living for a time on the fat of the lands, and of obtaining good Missouri beef at the low price of drawing rations. " The most important treaty is yet to be made, and in the most prominent and effectual manner; I mean with the Saeiks. They will have literally to be drubbed into a pacific policy, and it is always better to consult the fears of Indians than their judgment or interest." Stocks this evening :— Red.

The sum of 50,000 franks per month is to be appropriated to this purpose. The Duke of WELLINGTON paid his respects to the King on New Year's1 Day, along with the foreign Ministers and others. The disturbances at Avignon are said to have ceased. The revocation of FOUCHE'S powers as Ambassador at Dresden, and the prohibition against his return to Fiance, are again mentioned. From our private correspondence o f ' this day, it appears that he had anticipated both events, by withdrawing himself to Guernsey, and from that to America. A N O T H E R L E T T E R, E S C A P E O F T H E D U K E OF O T R A N T O. We have private advices by the mail this morning from Paris, with the disclosure of a fact to which considerable interest will be attached under the existing state of parties at the French Court. M. FOUCHE has shewn no less dexterity in eluding the Police than in applying its arbitrary powers that were so long intrusted to his hands. He. has effected his escape from the Continent in a ship bound to Guernsey, where having arrived, he took shelter in the house of a merchant, with whose brother we have this day had an interview. He did not remain long in that situation, but availed himself of a convenient opportu nity that soon presented itself of embarking for the United States, and he is now far on his way to the western world.

We are informed that Mr THOMSON, teacher of music, whose property suffered so severely, by the late fire in the Canongate, is, at the desire of many friends, soon to have a concert of vocal and instrumental music in Corn's Rooms. Were it generally known that Mr THOMSON, for these twelve months past, has been giving, and still continues to give gratuitous instruction to young persons of genius, whose situation in life cannot aftord a musical education, we believe such liberality will not pass unnoticed by all who duly appreciate the incalculable advantages that must result from this philanthropic endeavour to aid the helpless; and it will be remembered by many, that when he was organist of St George's Chapel, York Place, he had a selection of sacred music from HANDEL perform ed there, and, unsolicited, directed one- third of the profits to be given in aid of the institutions for the Industrious Blind, for which he received thanks through the medium of the late Sir WILLIAM FORBES, Bart, of Pitsligo. D I S T R E S S I N G A C C I D E N T . — H U G H M U I R , a journeyman smith to Mr JOHN BARTLEY, Paul's Work, Edinburgh, left his own house, on Monday se'ennight, about half past two o'clock P. M. accompanied by a large black Newfoundland dog, with a leather collar, and when last seen, about half past five the same night, was on the Queensferry road, a little to the westward of the Canonmill road. The dog returned to Paul's Work the same evening, about seven o'clock, with ettery appearanCe of having been immersed in water. The body was found on Sunday last, near Wardie, without any marks of violence but what must have originated from the effects of the sea. Nothing had been taken from him. He has left an unfortunate widow, with four helpless infants, and in hourly expectation of a fifth. A subscription is to be raised for their relief, which we hope will be liberal.

The English, Spanish, atid French ships must carry their clearances from ports belonging to their respective Sovereigns. The Spanish and French vessels must have the Captain and two- thirds of their rj crew subjects of their respective nations, and the English vessels must be able to present their register. 1 met Article M. The ships above specified are freed from met any visit of the Custom- house officers, both upon their , arrival and at'their departure; but. ttiey must be cautious- j J ly watched from - the Custom- house barks, that theyi 1 neither discharge or take on boand any goods With the; exa purpose of defrauding tbe revenue,.. . . . , ma< The other'articles, to the number of ten, refer ^ to the visits' of the officers of quarantine,. the manner in which the payment of . dutiesis. se- ^ cured after the landing of goods, the conduct of, . owners and consignees, warehousing, re- shipping, coasting, & c. The 13th article savs, j ( Considering, that the situation of England and its de- i pendencies bevond tbe Mediterranean, presents parti- j me cular circumstances which ei chide any idea of fraud, for and that that nation ought not. ro be treated, with re-; t gard to the vessels that come frrtni places beyond the ,.' Mediterranean, and from the continent of Europe, with 110 C the same rules as'those on which the present general in- j the structiohs'are founded frtr the said nation, and the others which enjoy the benefit of a- privileged flag, it has been determined, that the Captain of every English vessel the shall carry along with him the manifest of his whole ' . cargo, signed by the proper authority of the port from j which his vessel Sails, and by the Neapolitan Consul, if ' there be one resident at said port, and that immediately j nv< upon his arrival he shall present it to the officers of thej shs > Customs. Afterwards the merchant to whom the j r a r goo Is are consigned, shall give, within three days from the arrival of the vessel, a detail of tbe contents of the WO -. manifest. eel Considering, however, the particular circumstances -, j of England, detached from the continent, it shall be al- > lowed'immediately to execute the declaration of detail em ( upon the assurance that the documents have not been vie received), in conformity with a manifest signedby the Captain; and upon such a declaration being. made, all j the articles destined for the kingdom of Naples, may be Is ' unloaded at the Custom- house for examination and li- fal , quidation, in the presence of the owners or consignees ani 1 of the same.

I l i s Royal Highness the Prince Regent ha- pi ving been pleased, in the name and on the behalf d of his Majesty, to order that the militia of the iu county of shall be disembodied ; p< with all convenient speed, I am commanded to - a: express to you the vfti'y great satisfaction which ei his Royal Highness, has, received from the exem u plary and meritorious. services of the corps under your command ; and to acquaint you, that his C Roval Highness is . pleased to grant the following tl allowances on the occasion, to the officers and rt men herein- after mentioned :— n Each Subdtem, and the Surgeon's Mate, if o any, will be allowed, as a gratuity, a sum to com- ti plete two month*' pay each, from the date of dis- c embodying ( any advance already made beyond t the latte. r date, being ot course to be reckoned as ,< j a part of such gratuity) ; which, being granted a to them in this shape, will not interfere with the receipt of half pay, nor of any other allowance, c to which they are entitled, or may hereafter oh-. t tain from GoVerment. Officers holding twolf apppointments are; however, to receive the al- L lowanee tor one of them only. IJ T h e Adjutant, Paymaster, Su'rgeon, and ( Quartermaster, are not to have the said gra-', ttttty ; it being intended, that they shall be re-;( rained on duty, and receive pay, commencing!, from the day subsequent to that of disembodying!, inclusive, at the rates fixed by the act of 55. , G e o - H I . cap. 165. j1 The non- effective and contingent allowances!; of the captains, the mess allowance, and other , i npimental allowances for embodied corps, are to , otase trom the date of disembodying inclusive. I, In pursuance of the Prince Regent's order, 1, signified to the Lord Lieutenant of by- L o r d Viscount Sidmouth, and communicated I, 1 by his Lordship to this department, to retain up.', on the disembodied establishment of your regi-], men:, the number of serjeants, corporals, andi, drummers, allowed by the act of the 42d Geo.'

Stich ot the serjeants to be discharged as may be deemed deserving of the out- pension under niary ISM, and such of the corporals and . drummers as may have a claim to' the pension, under the general militia laws, are to receive an advance of marching allowance, at Is. 8d, per diem, sufficient to carry them to London, reckoning 10 miles ifor a day's march, without baiting days ; a report thereof being made to the agent, by whom the men will be farther subsists!, according'to their respective ranks, until they can pass an examination before the Chelsea Board. Each non- commissioned officer and drummer, who shall be discharged, and not recommended for the Chelsea pension, and each private man who shall be disembodied,, is to be allowed a bounty equal to fourteen days' pay, reckoning from the date of discharge, or of disembodying, exclusive; and is to be permitted to take with him the clothing of the year 1815, and also his knapsack. The like rule, as to the clothing and knapsacks, is to be observed with respect to men discharged andrecommended^ oi: the pension. The non- commissioned- officers. a n d drummers retained on the disembodied establishment, are, of course, not to receive the 14- days' . I bounty. ... - _ Before tbe disembodying, you will; cause an J j^ exact muster to be taken by the regimental- pay- ^ master of the several companies of the corps ; a n r you will also see that all the quarters be duly cleared, and take, especial care that the accounts' v a r of the men be made- up, and all their just p r e t e n - ] vy sions- completely satisfied, to the time of t h e i r j j^ being dismissed. j | 1 Care is to be taken that the arms, accoutre- Jj ments, and grwt coats ( if not worn three years), for the number of men of which your regiment ^ is to consist, when disembodied, be all collected, ^ in order to be lodged in the manner directed by jla£ the act above referred to ; but if the great coats ^ jnow in use- shall have been worn three years, ^ I they may be given to the men. | a n ( The tents; if any, and whatever arms you may! ^ . haye beyond the said establishment, are to be tfe- j j j^ jlivered to such persons asthe^ Board ofOrdnance- ^ . shall appoint to receive them. - The supernume- : rary accoutrements, and the great coats ( if not : < xtoin three years) of the non- commissioned offi- ( u r cers and drummers to be dischaiged,- as also those ^ y 1 not wanted for the use of the privates of the dis- W(; I embodied establishment, together with , any sei'- 0 j 1 vieeaWe camp nee^ ssaries that- remain in the pos- | session of the corps, are to be sent to such place! . as shall be pointed out, by the store- keeper gtrie- j ( | ( ' ral, to whom inventories thereof should be sent ; j ' and the commanding officer will of course be re- ^ j Sponsible that the arms, See. are left in the best! possible state. , | J , The claims of every individual in the corps; , are to , be finally settled by the paymaster ; . but!. , as some cases may possibly occur, in which thej .' s absence of officers or meff, at the time of disem-! f-. , bodying, may be unavoid ible, the paymaster is,' jJ in such cases, and also in the cases o f men who Ia ? jre necessarily absent from the corps on accountj ^ pf sickness, to transmit to the agent, a statement • shewing the names of, the persons absent, the] ^ e balance due to e^ ch individual, and the stations,. at which they are to be found, in order that' j-"' . their claims may be settled upon their own ap- . 1- plication to . the agent, without difficulty or de- ,,. lay ; a duplicate of which statement is to be sent ^ e to th'e superintendents of military accounts.

THE LATE DL'Sti OF ^ ORJOLXTs WILL, j His Grace died possessed of the barony of Greystoke, his ancient patrimonial inheritance, which he had considerably augmented, but which he leaves subject to very large mortgages and annuities, arising chieflv from monies borrowed to make that augmentation. The income of this estate is appropriated to the payment of debts interests, and. certain annuities, until the son Mr HOWARD MQMTNEUX ( brother of the present Duke of NORFOLK, and for many years representative of the city of Gloucester) comes of age in 1823. The barony is then to be entailed on him, on the two sons of Mr HOWARD of Corby, on a son of Mr EivwAitt) HOWARD, and on the younger sons of Lord ANDOVER, in succession. His Grace had inherited arid acquired considerable estates in the counties of Susses? and Surry, the greater. part. of. which he . has, since the year 1802, by exchanges - and sides, passed to his family settlement. .' H e has directed his personal property, and the remainder of his estates in those counties and elsewhere, to be sold ( subject; to a right of pre- emption to his successor at ten j per cenf . under value) for the payment of all hisi debts and mortgages, and to create thereby a| fund to pay the said annuities, and other special; annuities given In his life time, to a large amount, iwhich it is presumed that the income from his' various properties cannot without such sales pro-' " vide for. His Grace, < l. ivide< the reversionary] y interest in the fund thus created, and, the over- j plus of the income, when any. shall arise, intol five parts. Ot these he- bequeaths, two- fifths to; purchase an estate to be entailed on General Sir] L KENNETH HOWARD and his sons; one other] fifth he gives to Mr HOWARD of Corby, who] jy has for many years been his Grace's auditor, and] whom he has appointed executor ; he charge ® the remaining two fifths with a few legacies, and with three years wages to all his menial servants-; ' bequeathing the residue of the same to Mr HOWARD MOIIWEUX. His Gr'ace- S personal ^ estate consists chiefly in arrears of rents, a Col- J'ea lection of books, See.

It is customary there, as i, n most other j- H towns in Scotland, tor young persons, to make ! v ,' ' an early call on their friends, to treat them with whisky, or some other strong liquor. A 1 lad of the age of 16 was heartily enjoying him- c il-] self, and treating his friends in this way, last f - ss Monday morning. It happened that he fell on 1 he; the street with a bottle in his side pocket. The].. t'S-, bottle broke, and the glass cutting him through t - X-! his clothes, penetrated his right side, and made ' l i ^ a n opening, through which a great quantity of , bis intestines protruded. He was carried to the < • n- House of Recovery, and cverv exertion was ' " ii; made to save him ; but he died on Wednesday j m, morning. ' a s In addition to the accidents occasioned by the '°"] late flood, and severe Storm of frost and snow, P and subsequent and sudden thaw, and the losses t ] of various kinds sustained bv the inhabitants of j u . the Middle Ward ot Lanarkshire, we are under v ' s the necessity of recording the following unfortu- 1( 1(: 1 nate circumstances:— On the farm of Middlene n_( bank, in the parish of Avondale, in consequence ] of the almost unparaliefed rise of the river o m ' A v o n , beyond its usual height, a number of pits cjth of potatoes, situate thirty feet from the bank l e n the river, were entirely swept away, and nine stacks of oats shared the same fate. Some of] ^ e,, them were previously inundated to the height of] seven feet. On the same unfortunate occasion,; 5. severe losst- s were sustained on neighbouring ] lar- farms, of a similar nature, but not to so great an ; pe- extent; and nine sheep were carried away from sail, off the farm of Shieldloans by the current. Some Die families in that quarter only escaped a watery ion- grave, by clinging to the rafters of their dwellarly ings, and standing on the furniture until renrxiflns, and whis might iiavc risen !. n the sernea, ant become an ornament to his profusion.

NE W S( U/ TH irAL ES. We have great pleasure in laying before onr readers some account of the newly discovered country lri Ne- w- South Wales, behind the Blue Mountains, which before the year 181.4,. was a complete Terra. Incognita. Thif new. country is but thinly peopled, and its natlve9 resemble, mud!. those about Sydney* tlionvh their lan, guag: e . is yerx..( liferent. They differed also . in being well covered wich kangaroo skins, sewed together very neatly with the sinews of the emus ; they wore the fur side next their skins, and on the upper or flesh aid - they had prickcd, very ingeniously and regulaily, ornamentil devices, among which were crosses. They seemed to be a laughing, good nattired people, without the savave warlike spirit, or fury of the Sydney natives. They had with them tamed native dogs, with which I fancy they caught kangaroos. Their spears were heavy and clumsy and they threw them only a short distance out of their hands, like the New Zcatandt- H- s. The day we left Bathurst Plains, the Governor dispatched Mr FVAMS, deputy land surveyor, - rvith two men and horses, to proceed as far as he could to the westward. He returned a few days ago, after having penetrated in a due - west direction 115 miles from bathurst. He reports all the tract of eountiy he passed • over to lie even superior to that we eijilored, and much more thickly peopled, which heattrrbute* to the astoi mshtng herds he constantly saw of kangaroos and emus, ;. pn which the natives'subsisted, together with abundance ot fish, which a . Considerable sized river running I to the westward, abounded with. The river is nearly j the size of the Hawk » bury, and as far as he can judge may. be easily explored with a boat, or travelling ' alonij its banks, through a heautiful, plain, fertile couurrv.— He has brought with him hither a large quantity of tbe finest manna I have ever seen, which he collected among the grass,. a « d, in burnt fields, which he describes to be clustered with it, in smalLpieces. I conclude it I to be the produce of our locust insect ( TerigoSia), either i w h a t those insects have deposited in the ttin, or -. vliac I th* Y -" ntiined when they were destroyed by the ffrass • tailing fire. j:- 1 natives were veryshy, and alarmed at his appearance.

There H n was, it seems, besides private property, a sort of general j Stuck, out of which- articles were issued on account ' 1. to the several members of the community ; and, for ,' g. mutual accommodation, exchanges of one kind of pros- vision for another were very frequent. But what was j j most gratifying of . ill. to the visitors was the simple and t, _ unaffected manner in which they returned thanks to tbe t p> Almighty for the many bleissings they enjoyed. I hey id never f- aiind to. say grace beiort- and after meals, to pray every morning at sun- rise, and they frequently repeated the Lbrd's Prayer and the Xh- eed. 1t was trUl'y pleasmg," says Captain Pipon, ft . to see thesfe poor people so - le well disposed, to listen so attentively to moral instruc- a ( k fon, to believe in lire attributes of God, and to place their reliance on divine. gpoaiie » s.''

The 1 ,81 first ship that appeared off the island was pn the 27th of ; a n December 1795, but, as she did not approach the land I they could not make out to what nation she belonged.' 1 l l e A second appeared sometime after, but did not attempt ; ill to'communicate with theni^ A third came sufficiently! Bear to see the natives and their habitations, but did , nyt attempt to send a boat 011 shore, which is the less o t surprising, considering the uniform ruggedness of the he coast,. the total want of shelter., and the almost constant , a s and violent breaking'of tge sea against the cliffs.. The- ' good old man was anxious to know what was going o'n • la>' in thu old world, and they had the means of gratifying liis curiosity, by supplying him with some magazines; and modern publications. His library consisted of the : he books that belonged to Admiral Bligh, but the visitors iw, bad not time to inspect them. s e s They inquired particularly after Fletcher Christian.! This ill- fated young man, it seems, was never happy | ot after the rash and inconsiderate step which he had taken. I ler He became sullen and morose, and practised the very ] same kind of conduct towards his companions in guilt,! which he and they so loudly complained against in their - n- late commander.

He soon, however, disgusted both his own , n g countrymen and the Otaheitans, by his oppressive and an ] tyrannical conduct; they divided into parties', and dis . om; putesand affrays, and murders, were the consequence.
