PRINTED AND PUBLISHED, FOR THE PROPf^ ETORS, BV G. F. HARRIS. VOL. XIV. No. 702. SATURDAY, MARCH 4-, 1815. PRICE SIX- PENCE HALFPENNY. WEDNESDAY'S POST. LONDON, TUESDAY, FEE ' 28. FROM SATURDAY MIGHTS GAZETTE. LORD CHAMBERLAINS'* OFFICE. FEB. 23, 1815. - « yOTICE is hereby given, that her Majesty JL^ I will hold a Drawing- Room at the Queen's Palace, on Thursday the 9th of March next, at two o'clock. His koyal Highness the Prince Regent in Council, in the name and on the behalf of his Maj iy was this day pleased to appoint Robt. Booth, of Akonbiii v, Esq. to be Sheriff for the counties of C a: nbri'd,^ e and Huntingdon, in the room ot K C. G Mitchell, of Herminford Grey, Esq. deceased. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, FEB. 25,1815. Copy of a Utter from (" apt. Upton, of his Majes- ty's Ship Junon, addressed to Rear Admiral Griffith His Majesty's Ship Junon, at Sea, Jan. 3. Si R — I have the satisfaction to inform you, the Junon captured, at four A. M. the American hermaphrodite privateer Guerrier, F. A. Burr- ham, master, of four guns, sixty men, and two hundred tuns burthen, which had sailed from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on the 1st inst, victualled ior a cruise of four months; she had made no captures I have the honour to be, & c. ( Signed) C. UPTON, Capt. The Paris Papers to the 23d inst. affirm that the fate of Saxony is settled, by a compact between the Allied Powers, which assigns one half of the Saxon Territory to Prussia, against the will ot both the Saxon King and the People ; and by an equally forced relinquishment of claim to the other half, atic! a recognition of its inde- pendence on the part of the Prussian King This is ot necessity but a temporary compromise. The Saxons assigned to Prussia will wish to be Saxons still; and'Prussia will eageily watch for an opportunity to grasp again the portion of which she now reluctantly quits hold. An Offi er is said to have be n dispatched from Vienna to the King of Saxony, to invite him to that city, to sign the Treaty settling his king- dom. These papers contain a Note ofthe 4th inst. delivered by the Prussian Ministers to Con- gress, inviting them to resume the consideration of the future Constitution of Germany, and £ o invite to it the Princes and States that have hitherto taken no part in the business. The Congres arc now occupied upon the indemnities to be J en to Eugene Beauharnois, who is strong! t pported by the Court of Munich. The P is Papers of Thursday last state that Lord ( V lereagh was to leave Vienna on tiie 13th i i principal points relative to Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Italy, a^ e arranged. The Houfes of Nassau, are, it is said, to cede to Prussia all their present possessions, and to re- ceive m Exchange the territories of Luxem- bourg, Malmedy, Stalvo, and Verviers ; the fortress or Luxembourg to be a federal German fortress. B,\ this arrangement Prussia will not be in contac/ with France. There are ccounts purporting to come from Naples, which assert, that Murat's force is only 15,000 men. It is added, that he has been under the necessity of fending away al! the Frenchmen in his service, in order fo make himself more agreeable to the Neapolitan people. The march of die Congress lately is said to have been accelerated by Use notice given by Lotd Castlereagh of his'imraediate departure from Vienna. i le pressed the Congress to declare upon three points before his departure— Saxony, the left Bank of the Rhine, and the • Slave Trade. He was to set off early in Febru- ary; but he deferred his departure first to the l() th, then to the 12tii, and at last it is said to die 15th. By the 12th, it is added, all the three points were decided; that relative to the Slave Trade occupied a Committee of eight Members of the Congress six da » s. We un- derstand that the Pope's Minister, Gonsalvi, • was on the side of those who opposed the British Minister. Bonaparte has rejected al! the proposals made " SwTfm to give up the Isle of Eiba, and retire to Scotland. The proposals were then submitted to Congress, with a view of compelling him to accede to them, but the Russian Minister is said to have declared that the Allies must abide by the convention made with Bonaparte on the 1- lth of April, unless he himself chose u> aban- don it. About one hundred leaves of absence have tieen granted in the French army, and we believe we may now say with certainty, that there is i ot the least apprehension of any other than a pacific termination of the labours of Congi ess. Man, agitated for a quarter of a century by so many storms, the victim of such multiplied oppressions and miseries, may well exclaim, " Let me, oh let me, taste repose!" One ofthe French Papers states, that the ex- station of grain since last harvest, brought in- to France upwards of forty millions of livres, about one million six hundred thousand pounds, " which will contribute to augment the capital destined to vivify our agriculture, and render it more and more productive." The Frankfort Papers contain an article from Nuremberg, stating that the Porte had demand- ed of Congress that Ragusa shall be declared an independent State. Advices from Madrid mention that on ac- count of the weighty business before Congress, « ynnecteU with the claims of the Family tut , th « I iiieir interest to continue | he cultivation.' Throne of Spain with regard to Parma and Naples, the Duke of San Carlos had been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Vi- enna, and that he was to proceed thither yvithout delay.— The Expedition had not sailed from Cadiz, and as Gen. Pezuela had arrived from the coast of Pehi witli dispatches, it was not supposed that it would take its departure until full information had been communicated to the Commanding Officer tiom these official ac- counts, or until Gen. Pezuela, who had so long commanded in Peru, had given hi- advice as to the future operations. The details brought by this Officer of the state of the provinces with which he was best acquainted, are, it is said, of a most satisfactory character, and it is under- stood that both Upper and Lower Peru were in complete and acknowledged subjugation lo the mother country, and that the submission of Chili had occa'sioned this favourable alteration in the contiguous territories. Halifax papers to the 2d inst. and Boston to the 4- th January, have been received. In the Co- lonies it was supposed that the expedition against New Orleans would be able to proceed and at- tack that place before Gen Jackson could t> e joined by his greatest reinforcement, 10 or 12,000 troops, which he expected from the Western country, and who had a long march to perform ere they reached iheir destination. Ac- counts had been received of the arrival of the expedition off Balize— and an article from Sa- vannah, of tiie 19th December, speaks ofthe American Commodore, Campbell, having, wiih 40 or 50 coasters, aaid eight gun boats, been defeated by our barges, and driven back to St. Mary's, with the loss of iwo gun- boaft. The Constitution and Congress fsigates sailed from different ports about the end of December, and joined. They were pursued by the Leander, Newcastle, and Acasla. From the Canada Papers we learn that Com- modore Owen had arrived out to supersede Sir James Yeo; and that General Murray had like- wise reached Halifax. There is no mention of the reported encounter on the ice of Lake Onta- rio. In Canada addresses had been presented by the inhabitants to Sir George Prevost, professing the utmost devotion to his authori- ty., A general order was also issued at Montreal on the 6th of December notifying that after the cessation of hostilities, grants of 100 acres of land would be made to private soldiers, and their wives and children who were in Europe conveyed to them in Canada at the ex." enc- of Govern tilenf. It was reported that the expedition which had succeeded in taking Cumberland and St. Mary's Islands was to proceed higher up the River to the attack of Savannah ; but it consisting only of 1500 troops, the purpose was abandoned. The Landrail, Lieut. Rochfort, was one of the vessels which took the last convoy toCastine. On her voyage thither, she fell in with no less than five American privateers, which she en- gaged, and, after a desperate battle of two hours, secceeded in beating them off. In this affair, the Americans had a great many killed and wounded. The Landrail had only one man wounded in the shoulder. The following ships comprised the squadron with which the Landrail had to contend : the Charles Stewart, of Bos- ton, 10 guns; the Cumberland, of Portland, 4 gur, s;. Fame, of Thomarstown, four guns; a schooner, name and force unknown ; and Cro- ninshields sloop, of Salem No less than eight American privateers were known to be hoveling . bout Castine and the Bay of Fundy. Large quantities of British goo.: s have lately been • eized in waggons proceeding from one State 10 another. New expeditions were talked of, but which will be laid aside as soon as the ratification lakes place in America, respecting which there is not the smallest doubt. The candour of the gal. ant Commodore De- catur on the occasion ofhis capture is most cre- ditable to him. We'are assured that on hi. surrender he said to Captain Hope, " Sir, you have out- sailed, out- manosuvred, and fairly beaten me." Such an admission could be made only by a dignified mind, and is therefore alike honourable to the victor and to the vanquished. The Masters of the East Indiamen, who were on board the President, were, it is said, intend- ed to take the command of the prizes that might be taken, as well as contribute by their advice and local knowledge, to the success of the cruize. They attempted to pass themselves off as passengers, after the capture of the ship. Decatur wore the epaulettes of an Admiral ; and we understand he had an order to hoist, his tlag, on his arrival in the East Indies. The wind during the chase was quite light; the ships car- rying royal studding- sails and sky- sails We are sorry to learn that the report of the Sylph, Captain Dickins, having foundered off the coast of America is too true. The Purser and a few men are stated to be tiie only persons saved out of the whole crew, consisting ofabout 130 souls. I The Princess of Wales has asked for a ship of war to convey her h > me to Great Britain from Naples, and has been informed that no vessel could be conveniently spared at this time from the Mediterranean station, to accommodate her Royal Highness. Saturday we received accounts from New South Wales to the 1 3th Oct. The cattle in the settlement have multiplied so considerably that beef was at 4d. per lb. We are sorry to find that wheat was likely to be very deficient. It « een)* that the last year if was sold as low as 4 to 5s. per bushel, and ilie farmers, in conse- quence of this discouragement, did not find it ' * Much culpability is attributed to Government, for not having deposited in that period of abundance a quantity of wheat in the public granaries, for the progressive supply of the inhabitants. The trade ot the Colony was improving, and wool was considered the principal article of'merchan- dize, The improvement in the general accom- modation at this remote establishment was not inconsiderabe, and a road, 25 miles in length, over the mountains, which had lately been tra- versed and explored, was among the facilities afforded by recent exertions to cultivation and subsistence. All the documents relative to the mission of Gt'iieral Lavayse to . St Domingo hav^^^' ic to hand. It does not appear that Lavayse iTuti any mission from Louis X- VIII. His own. concerns required his presence in that colony, arid he re- quested to be empowered to treat. When this proposal was submitted to the King, he refused to give him even the power of a Commissioner; but he was permitted to sail, and was informed ihat when there he might sound the Chieis as to their inclination to acknowledge the sove- reignty of the King; but, in direct opposition to the King's mind, private instructions, drawn up by a Committee of Colonists, were given to him, and it was in conformity to these that he acted in threatening to visit the Hay tians with the vengeance of the European powers, should they hesitate to agree to his propositions. In a correspondence which lately took place between the Spanish General on the side of Quito and the Congress of Now Granada, the former takes a singular liberty with the name of Wellington, who, he says, is coming out at the head of' 25,000 British and 14,000 Spaniards, to quell the insurrections of Spanish America. This is not the first time that the agents of Spain have made use of the name of England to far- ther their purpose* of despotism. The Dey of Algiers is stated to have declared war against the King of Spain, notwithstanding the similarity of their systems of government. Upon the subject of the fete, said to have been given by Lucien Bonaparte, at Rome, ou the 21 t of January, the French Papers, after ex- pressing some doubt of the fact, justly say,— " Assassins alone could make a fete upon the day of an assassination." Mr. Thomas Sheridan, whom the newspapers devoted to death some time back, is now living at the Cape of Good Hope, on a government appointment of 10001. per annum, and is ujt. dly improving in bis, b- s;: lth. ** m It is stated that a general reduction in tlie army will take place on the 10th of next month; among the corps named are se*' en regiments of Cavalry with a further reduction of two troops in the other regiments— the Artillery and Engi- neers— the 97th, 98th, 99th, and 100th, are to be disbanded, and the 1 ) lst, 102d, 103d, and 104th, are to be numbered the 97th, 98th, 99th, and 100th. A reward of 1001. is offered in Saturday night's Gazette, for the discovery of the murderer of Mary Hall, wile of Henry Hall, labourer, at Dagnal, in Buckinghamshire, with a free pardon to any accomplice making such discovery. Burlington House came to the hammer on Friday last, and was knocked down for 75,2001. The pur': ha ; er is supposed to be a Nobleman, who means to make this princely mansion his own residence, without any alteration in its present magnificent order of structure! A few days since one ot the French Ministers visited the Post- office at Paris. On this occasion a clerk of the office led him to a private closet, where he showed him the seals of all the great and distinguished families of Paris, arranged in order. " Your Excellency sees," said he, " that it Would be easy to open any letters and seal them up again. They would merely be dis- patched twelve hours later." The French college, established at Penn, in Bucks, under the auspices of the late Edmund Buike, and maintained by the munificence of the British nation during 19 years, will be trans- ferred lo Paris, in the course of next summer. It has b en recommended to print an alpha- betical list oi the names and professions of those persons who have taken the benefit of the Insol- vent Act, as a means of guarding the public against giving credit to a great number of design- ing characters thus liberated. J. Metcalf, of Barnard Castle, whose banns had been published three times, and who, though 80 years of age, had intended to enter the marriage state lastweek, was found a corpse on his wedding morn by his intended bride. Tlie Hindoo keeper of the Duke of Devon- shire's elephant at Chiswick, wishing to learn the animal to stand fire, last week got five or six of the servants to stand on each side of the head of the beast, while he mounted and dis- harged a fowling piece. The instant it was fired off, the elephant knocked down the men who guaided him, threw his rider, and gallop- ing off, svvarn across the canal in the grounds, and it was a considerable time before the keeper could get him qnietly back again to the stables. There is every reason to think that the pro- posed tax on newspapers will be abandoned. Mr. Vansittart is in high favour wiih the Ladies for his proposed tax upon Bachelors, which will of necessity drive many an hesitating wight into the delightful toils of matrimony. T here can be no doubt tiiat the widowers will be comprehended in the bachelorian schedule, the Chancellor of the Exchequer being too' public spirited a financier to leave a loop- hole for him- self, under that description, to creep out of! We at the same time think that unmarried ladies paying taxes, ought certainly to have been in- cluded in t'nesesk at the same rate, as they have more opportunities of introducing economy into their establishments than Bachelors can possibly practise; and are, in truth; of less real value to their country or society than the Bachelor, whose life is mostly one of active usefulness in som" profession in the sphere in which he moves. At the head of the Ruehelors of'distinction who will pay smart money for their celibacy, under Mr. Vansialart's tax, will stand the Dukes of Devonshire and Leirist*)', Marquisses of Exeter and Sligo, Earls of Wi. nchelsea and Berkeley, Messrs Coke, Brand, & c. It is recommended to the Chancellor of the Exchequer tf^ extend the tax upon Bachelors to men vvfm \ ive% fl/ irute Irotn their wives, who , tr£ to all intents and purposes single men. Sir Francis Burdett is said to have given up the sports of St. Stephen's for the more pleasur- able ones of the chace. The Baronet is now become the most dashing rider of the SoriTerly hunt, with Sir John Cope and Berkeley Craven, Lady Mildmay has retired to private lodgings, in Southampton, and now lives in the mo- t eco- nomical manner, with a view ol devoting Ihe greater part of her income to the liquidation ot the damages given against her son, whose exile she deeply deplores. The recent affair between Lord Cranstoun and Major Disney will be dec ided in a court of law : there is some variation in the statement of the parties; but the Major's friends rely on a want of proof of the criminal intercourse, which they deny ever to have taken place. Major Disney is the second son of the Rev. Dr. Disney, who ceded his ecclesiastical preferment in Essex on account of the Unitarian principles, which he openly professed, and to whom the late Mr, Brand Hollis, a few years since, passing by his numerous relatives, left an extensive estate of 40001 per annum, near Ingutestone, in Essex. Lady Cranstoun is the eldest of three daughters of a West Indian, of the name ot Macnamara, and was born in the Island of St. Kitt's: she is in her 27th year, and highly accomplished. Before a Lad) resolves to show her bad leg to a man of honour, she should recollect what Sir John Falstaff says —" Honour hath no skill in surgery." The new trial granted in the case of Gen. Dyott v. Dunn, for crini. con. wilh die PlaintifPs wife, took place in the Court of King's Bench on Wednesday ; when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 20001. — The first jury gave 50001. Tlhs Edinbuij>; i Sheriff displayed humour as well as wisdom in inflicting a fine upon the Prin- cipals and Seconds concerned in an intended duel, and ordering the penalty to be applied to the Lunatic Hospital; but some people think that he might also have given directions for the parties to be admitted as Patients. In the Theatre of Barcelona the Inquisition has a box; and lately one of the inquisitors being at the plav, observed a lady dancer wiih very short petticoats. The next day they sent the bailiff to fetch the poor girl to their prison; and possibly she may now have to fiance a pas de oorde. No less than six defendants were cast in heavy penalties in theCourt of Exchequer last week, for having in iheir possession French gloves, shawls, laces, and some India prohibited goods, Ann Moore, the notorious fasting impostor, whose detection took place about two years ago, at Tutbury, now lives well at Macclesfield, in Cheshire, wilh her daughter, on the property she acquired by her long practised fraud. On Monday last a most distressing event took place at SalterMills, nearSaltash, near Plymouth. A young man, called William Gilbert, about 23 years old, son of Mr. William Gilbert, a respec- table innkeeper in that borough, was sent to bring homg some barley, left to begfound at the mill. On his arrival there, he entered the kitchen adjoining the mill, and observed the apprentice girl, and a little boy, son of Mr. Barnes, late of the Fountain Inn, sitting on a chair,' playing with a rusty pistol. The child, on seeing the young man, said—" I'll shoot you Will Gilbert." " You wiP, will you, then I'll shoot you," replied the young man in a playful manner ; and, on perceiving a gun ( which had been loaded for the purpose of killing wild fowl) placed over the chimney- piece, he took it down, and asked the girl whose it was. The girl jocosely replied—" Your's;" on which he pre- sented it towards the window, and it missed fire; but on pulling the trigger a second time, it went off, and lodged its contents in the right eye of John Barns, a fine boy, about six years old, who immediately expired. Gilbert, seeing the child fall, took him in his arms, and finding the body lifeless, exclaimedr—" Good God ! what shall I do ?— Oh ! I'll go drown myself!" and, in a frantic state of mind, he left the house, running toward tlie mill- pond, followed by the girl, who exclaimed at the moment—" Do not drown yourself." Presently she saw him plunge into the water, from whence he never rose with life! A few days since as Mr. Hollyer, clerk to Al- derman Atkins, in China Hall Fields, Rother- . hithe, was proceeding just before dark to the Al- derman's wharf, as was his usual custom, with money to pay the workmen, when, as he was crossing China Hall Fields, a man in a sailor's dress came up to him, and without any previous question or demand seized him, and having ibrown him down, took a razor from his pocket, and cut his throat in a most dreadful manner. Mr. Hollyer still struggled, and succeeded in gelling loose from the villain, and ran towards some houses near the spot: the wretch followed, vowing he would be the death ot him, but when within 20 yards of the bouses he thought proper to make off. Mr. H. lies in a dangerous state. BRISTOL SHIP NEWS. CAME IN.— The Harriot, Winttiugham, from St. Antleio ; ihe La Par, Mirino, from Gijou ; and the Jane, Brabyn, Irom Roticn.

We received fliis morning" the Paris- P ipers of Sa- turday la- i. Lord CjMtlrrewb left Vienna on Hie welling of Hie IStli. The Congress had a long meet- Sng on that day, that he might carry with him the final dt- cisiflii of tiie Congress upon aW the most important paint*. There are said to have lieen frequent nego- tiations with the Hanoverian Minister", relative lo the establishment of . Ihe Princes of the Rnyet Fan. ilv, ill case the Sceptre of Great Britain should pass lo a Tciitale. One of the Paris Papers mentions that Lord Cas- t- l i r- eogh passed through Paris on the 22' t nit. Tnis " Hunt he a mistake. His Lordship would, ere this, 4i:. ve heen in London. Tile King " of France is not quite recovered from his attack of the gout. The Emperor of Austria is still confuted to Iris room ; hut neither of them is danger- ously indi- poscd. By recent accounts from Paris we learn ttiat the most magnificent preparations arc making in that capita! for celebrating the happy event of a General Peace. Ail possible testimonies of national rejoii ing are lo f ike place on the day when tbe proi tarnation announcing the final ratification is issued. •., Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning, and have brought tlie important intelligence of ( he final ar- rangement of Ihe affaits nf Hie Netherlands. They are definitively united lo Holland. Besides all the Belgian provinces, as they were formerly under Ihe dominion of the House nf Austria, the Bishopric of " Liege is lo be added to the new Monarchy of the Ne- therlands. Brussels Papers to ( he « 5lli also confirm this account. * A letter from the Prince Sovereign, aun<- uicing this determination of Ihe Congress, was promulgated at Brussels amid public rejoicings. All article from Vienna states, that according to one report Ihe late Empress Maria Louisa is lo have a pension from Ihe Grand Duke of Tuscany, and that Parma and Placeutia are to be given to the < s>' ietn of Emiria; another report states that she will have a small State, comprising the countries of Lacques, Piombino, & c. The Senate of Geneva has declared those of its in- habitants to be inhuman who have any to do with lite slave trade. According to the accounts from Italy, Austria in- tends to retain possession of the fortresses of Alex- andria, part of the former dominions of the King of . Sardinia, anil this was the reason for her consenting to the cessation of Genoa to that Monarch. The Neapolitan troops were still in the Marches, and adecreeof King Joachim's had been published, de- nouncing as disturbers of the public tranquillity those who should cirri', late lhere any acts of the Popt, having for their obiect the re- establishmenf of Ihe temporal dominion of liis Holiness in those Pro- vinces. An account has been received of the successful com- mencement of cur operations on the coast of Geor- gia, under Adm. Gockhurn: the town of St. Mary- was taken with little resistance on the 16th Jan. It is sitnatp at the month of a river of the same name which divides East Florida from Georgia. Dispatches were yesterday afternoon received from America, which were stated to contain official infor- mation of the capture of New Orleans. A float- ing rumour hail also prevailed in the earlier part of the day, which, if true, would have given much im- portanee to this capture. It was asserted, but vre • believe on no solid grounds, that Mr. Madison had refused to ratify the Treaty of Ghent. A Nevt Bedford Paper of the 6th January, speak- ing of New Orleans, says: " We are induced to fear that it will fall— and if it does, we have no hopes of being able to wrest it from the enemy. This would lead to consequences of a most serious nature— New Orleans is the Key of the West; and we apprehend that the power which holds it cannot long want means to influence and controul the Country West of the lAlleghanies." Further operations are, it appears, tarrying on against the whole coast of Virginia. It is said that all the American Commissioners lately engaged in the Treaty at Ghent, are preparing to proceed to this country, and the purpose of their • visit is supposed to be to follow up the work of paci- fication by ctfmmercial arrangements. They are already provided with passports, and the American ship the Neptune, which is at Brest, has the privi- leges of a cartel for tlieir safe conveyance. ' A Swedish vessel from Amelia Island, last from Bermuda, is arrived at Plymoufh. The Endymion had arrived at Bermuda, having parted with her prize the President two days before, in thick weather. . Commodore Decatur was in the Etidymion, having received a wound in the no- e. We cannot find that the Swede has brought any later news from Amelia Island. On Tuesday sailed with a fine wind one of the largest, if not the last fleet that will leave Spithead for yf- ars to come— about 400 sail, viz, Warrior, 74 Adm. Douglas, Liffey, Towey, Cephal. us, and lladger, with 220 sail, for the West- Indies; Akbar. with 10 sai i, lor Hie East- Indies ; Phoenix, and Nautilus, for Ihe Modi- te. ranean, with the Iraile ; Ariel, Sabine, and Mutine, for the. coast ot Africa, with the trade; Danemark and Montague, for Cork, with the Bermuda trade— Arrived, the Plover, for the Downs. The Prince Regent held a Court at Carlton House on Friday, aud received ihe Corporation of the City ot London, wilh their congratulatory address on flic Treaty of Peace being signed with America at Ghent. The address likewise teurhed oil the delay iu not bringing the dispute to a termination at flic time of tile general pacification of Europe, on the inadequate force employed, and our naval losses sustained in the contest: concluding with the hope that the blessings of Peace will afford opoortunities for diminishing our unexampled expenditure, icmoving the most galling of. our faxes, " and for reforming those abuses, which, i « a series of protracted conflicts, creep into and de- form every state, unless carefully watched and zea- lously guarded against." To which address his Royal Highness gave the following answer :—" I feel great satisfaction in having brought the negocintions with ihe United States of America to such a result, as af- fords a fair pi ospect of the speedy re- eslablishnient of peace with that country. Whatever may have been the calamities occasioned by the extended war- fare in which we were so long engaged, they are iu 110 respect imputable to Great Britain ; it was the conviction that our cause was just, and that toe were unavoidably contending for ail that was valuable to us as a nation, lliaf produced those extraordinary ex- ettioiH, which, under favour of Divine Providence, completely tnistrated I lie designs of our enemies, and which w ill be contemplated with admiration and gra- titude by our latest po- teriiy. No endeavours trill be wanting on my part to promote a friendly inter- course between tins kingdom and the countries with V inch we have been at war, and- to sectue and im- prove ail the advantges of peace.'' It is said to be. settled, that, previous to the Duke of Cuinbi Hand's marriage, a message is to be brought down ro the Hott- c, announcing to Parliament the intended event, and desiring lo make an additional Ktabli- hnu- m for his Royal llighm - s. Tut- Weymouth electors I- t- f w e< k voted a congra- tnU'nry address to Lient.- Gerieral Sir John Murray, Bart, on the issue « f the late Comt Mai rial at Chester. The remain* of the Duke of Dorset passed through Oxford on Saturday, on their way to Knowle, iu Kent, for interment in tbe family vault; the expres- sion of' 1 still off!' used by his Grace at the moment of his expiring, did not arise Irom rH- tiiued levity, lint ( ti ll the chairs on which he was placed slipping from under him. At a meeting of the Catholic Association held ill Dublin, on Tuesday, it was agreed that Mr. Graltati i> not t, o. Have ttie presentation of the Catholic Pe- tition. Government have it in contemplation to enlarge the east'side of the island of Portsea to above 1000 acre-, by recovery of the mud lands near Milton, The lax of a penny on the delivery of newspapers by post has been relinquished ; and an additional duly on advertisements, exceeding a certain length, resolved upon iu its stead. A requisition having been presented to the Lord Mayor for a meeting of the merchants, bankers, and trailers of the city of London, lo consider the measures now before Parliament for restricting Ihe importation of corn, and to petition against the same, his Lord- ship was pleaded to grant ihe n- e of the Egyptian Hall on Fiidav tor that purpose, at 12 o'clock. The ceremony of the chairing of Mr. Barclay, the new member for the Borough, took place this day. It attracted an immense crowd, who soon betrayed symptoms of violence ; from booting and hissing they proceeded to the throwing of - tones and mud at the chair, whirh compelled Mr. Barclay to take shelter in Ihe Horns Tavern, Keunington. The populace attacked the houst with mud and stones, and bioke all the windows: and some at tempted to force their way in. One of Mr. Ban I ly's fii. nds then proceed- ed to the office of the hecn- taiy ot Stale, and a sliong body of cavalry was immediately ordered to Ihe spot; the arrival of which prevented all further violence. The commotion appears to have oiiginated in the spitlt of Election, in which some persons have, by a misrepresentation of Mr. Barclay's Parliamentary conduct, sought to influence the si irit of the friends of the disappointed Candidate. Mr. Barclay spoke last night against the Corn regulations. This morning tie trial of William Sawyer was ex- pected lo have taken place at Ihe Sessions House, l<? i Bailey, for flic wilful murder of Harriet G islatt. Their Lordships arrived at ten o'clock, and were ad- dressed by the Attorney General, who represented the absence of a material witnesson behalf of ( he prisoner ; upon which their Lord- hips agreed to postpone the trial till Wednesday the 5th of April. A few days since, a journeyman baker of Knights- bridge, for a wager of 50 guineas lo 10, slood upon one leg for 12 hours! 1 After having performed ihe woutleifu! task, which ended tlnee minutes after the stipulated time, he was put into a chair and carried home. On Thursday evening, about half past seven, Mr. Smith, jun. son of Col. Smith, of Ashton- nnder- Line, was attaeked by four men, armed with pistols, in Ojienshaw, who unhorsed him by the old system of roping, that i « , hy having a rope distended from one side of the road to the other. From llis great resolu tion and exertions, he however eventually escaped, with the loss of his horse and hat. PARLIAMENT. The report of the resolutions on the Corn Laws produced a long and animated debate in the House of Commons on Monday night. Mr. Graltan was strong- ly for the resolutions. Mr. Baring said that " if the House preferred an artificial to an [ inartificial cur- rency, they would agree to the resolutions : but they might be assured that if they kept np the price of corn, they would never retr- rn to a money circulation." Mr. Fitzgerald, the Chancellor of the Irish Exche- quer, observed, in reply to Mr. Baring, that" the most effectual means of restoring cash payments was to prevent that drain of specie which an undue im- portation of corn was likely to occasion, and which had been a main cause of tbe unfavourable balances against this country."— Several divisions took place ill the course of the night; the bringing np of the report was finally carried by 193 to £ 9 : hut on mov- ing the question tIM the r-. yort {>" agreed to,- ao- ad- journment was again moved by Mr. Baring, seconded by Mr. Horner, ami agreed to, without a division, at two o'clock. The Ilepor t of tlie Corn Resolutions was agreed to in the House of Commons last night, after an Amend- ment by Mr. Caleraft to fix the price at 72s. instead of 80s. had been rejected by a majority of 154 to 35. Win- FASHFONS, From LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE of the present Month, March, 1815. No. 1.— DIANA WALKING DRESS.— Pelisse of green velvet, or rich twilled green and white shot t. aisui t, and made in a style of uncommon novelty and elegance: it is about half a quarter of a yard shorter than the gown, is open in front, and is trim- med ronnd vi itil Mrs. Bell's Britannia pearl silk trimming. The body of this pelisse is fitted to the shape in a style equally original and uncommon, and is belter calculated than any thing we have recently seen to display the shape to the greatest advantage. Head- dress, hat of intermingled velvet and white pearl fur, ornamented w ith a superb ostrich feather, placed to the side. Of this hat we can only say that, from the originality as well as the tasteful ele- gance of its form, it fully merits the distinguished estimation in which it is held by our fair volarists of fashion who universally declare it the most be- coming head- dress which the inventive genius of Mrs. Bell has yet produced. The new invent- ed Diana petticoat is worn with this walking dress, which combines the essential requisites of warmth with the novel advantages of securing the form from the uncomfortable appearances produced by windy weather. There is unusual originality in tbe petticoat, being made in a most novel manner. Half- boots, composed partly of green leather, and partly of w hite velvet, or jean, laced np with green silk cord. White kid gloves. No. 2.— DINNER DRESS.— A short round diess of bright ruby velvet, or twilled sarsnet; if flic latter, it should heshot with white. The form of this dress is extremely novel and elegant; the body, which is form- ed in the frock style, is calculated to display the beau- ty of tire chest to the utmost advantage; and to ouch ladie' as are not peculiarly well formed about the bosom it gives an appearance of width to the chtst, as well as an easy elegance to the shape, winch must be seen to be credited. Long sleeve, composed of while lace, made, as all Ihe sleeves of the piesent mouth are, very full; the fulness is drawn in at the top iu front of tbe arm, and it is confined at the wrist in a novel and tasteful style. White lace French tucker, whirh we have no hesitation in saying is hy much the most elegant thing that has been introduced for a length of time, and does the highest credit to the taste of- the inventress Mrs. Bell; it is so contrived as to shade the bosom while it leaves that part of the neck bare which may be exposed without indelicacy; il finishes the dress in a slyle the most chaste, novel, and tasteful that we have ever seen. The bottom of the dress is simply ornamented with two rows of bias lace or crape, put on the reverse way, and lightly fi- nished round the edge with a French beading. Head- dress the Britannia Toque, composed of ruby velvet, and finished wilh a gold or silver band and a while ostrich feather. This cap, which is rather in the French style, is elegantly appropriated to dinner dress. While kid slippers and gloves; small ivory Fienchfan. The above dresses were invented by Mrs. Bell, III"- venfress of the Ladies Chnpeau Bras and the Circas- sian Corsets, and of whom only llie- y can be bad, at her Magazin des Modes, No. 26, Charltiue- sueet, Bedford- square.

Mr Planla, Lord Castlereagh's Piivate Secretary, has just arrived at Downing- street. His Lordship, we believe, will be iu iiis plaie in Parliament on Monday.— Sun. We received last night the Paris papers nf Sunday Inst. It is now said that Lord Castlereagh- did not q iit Vienna till the morning of the 15th. It it report- ed thai the king of Saxony lias refused to accede lo the arrangements settled by the Congress, The Con- gress, however, had provided against such an event by deciding that the Duke of SaXe Weimar should have the administration of tiie country urease of such refusal. There is to be a permanent Diet a! Frankfort on the Maine, aud it is supposed the Emperor of Austria will lake the title of Hereditary Chief of the German Empire. Brussels and Frankfort papers are arrived. The King of Naples, in addition to the Neapolitan territories, is, it is said, to be put in pdsseasicn of the Toe peace establishment of Austria is to be 300,000 men— that of Prussia 240,000. Last Week, the following circular was issued from the War Ofli; e ( signed Palmerston) notifying fo Of- ficers commanding regiments of cavalry, " fhat it hav- ing appeared lo liis Royal Highness ihe Prince Re- geil thai the price of forage having materially tliini- t. islcd since the additional allowance of 6d. per mile for eve ry is miles was granted to dealers furnishing recruit horses lo the cavalry, that his Royal Highness basin consequence thereof thought fit to order that thesaid additional allowance shall forthwith cease." The 28th, 71st, 79( h, and 92d regiments, com- manded by General Johnson, which sailed a few days ago from Cork, are destined for Bermuda. The public have lost one of their theatrical favour- ites, Mi s Mellon having been, yesterday, converted into Mrs. Coutts, the lady of the opulent banker of that name. The charitable disposition of the lady entitles her to the good wishes cf all. Miss Mellon had been long visited by the family of Mr. Contts, not excepting his late lady. She is now the mofher- m- fav ifi ihe Dowager Countess of Guildford, the Dovtsger Marchioness of Bute, and Lady Burdett. A French officer who had been confined on board one of the prison ships in Ihe Medway, was sent home with many thousands of his countrymen, at the ter- mination of the war.— On arriving at his native place, he found himself entitled to a considerable property, and having made the necessary arrangements for se- curing permanent possession of it, he last week re- turned to England, in order to find out one of the officers of his ship, on board of which he was confined, for the purpose of making him a considerable pre- sent, for the attention and kindness he had expe- rienced during his captivity. The mere relation of this fact is a sufficient panegyric on both parties. On the walls about tiie Metropolis the Chalkists having written, " Down tvith the Beer," some wag of their fraternity has scrawled underneath, " Down with the Brewers-, the Beer is LOW enough." A Requisition to the Sheriff of Wilts has been sign- ed by nearly 500names, to obtain a County Meeting to cifeti8idi* r of petitioningPailiauienton the subject of t'fiejp-^ wi aw s. The meeting lo he held in Salisbury on tie 8th of March. A meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark took plate yesterday at one o'clock, to con » ider the propri- ety of petitioning Parliament against the Corn regula- tions. Mr. Calvert and Mr. Barclay, the two Mem- bers, were received wilh the most enthusiastic ap- plause, ami severally addressed the meeting in support iif the petition, amid loud aud reiterated acclamations. The petition was unanimously canied. A number of persons who were taken up on Tues- day higlit in K .' iinington, charged with riotous and outrageous behaviour, were examined yesterday at Union Hall. Several were remanded for further ex- amination, others admitted to hail, and some whose conduct appeared to be the rft'eet of inadvertency rather than of design, were, 011 expressing their con- trition, receiving a suitable admonition from the Magistrates, and making a compensation to the Offi- cers for their trouble, discharged. Yesterday the two regiments of Life Guards were nnilrr orders the whole of the da^, to beieadyata moment's notice. The legality of setting steel traps and spring guns in plantations for the protection of game, is now on an appeal before the twelve Judges for their decision. It is known from good authority, that the book- sellers in France have offered to furnish the Americans with the English woiks at one third of the price now paid for them in London. ST. DAVID'S DAY,— The annual procession of the Society of Ancicnt Britons tuck place yesterday ; divine service was heard at St. George's Church: and Ihe Society ( lined a. i usual at the Freemason's Tavern. Tlie collection amounted to above 13301. SWINDLING.— There is now going about town a gang of Swindlers, whose plan of operation is this : one or two enter some shop or public- house, stating that they are officers from the Bank come to examine nil the Bank notes iu the house; information having been given to the Bank that the shopkeeper or pub- lican had in his possession a good many forged notes. Tliey get sight of as many notes as possible, and llien taking the notes, they say that after the information which has been given, the owner and notes too must go to the Bank, hilt on the road, the pretended offi- ; contrive 10 escape wilh the notes, leaving the ewner to deplore his loss.— Within the present week the gang successfully practised this scheme. On Monday last one of them went to a chandler's shop- keeper in Orchard- street, Westminster, named Whit- ing, who is reputed to be remarkably rich, and staled that lie had come to neateli lor forged notes. Whit ing produced what he had, and said that he had 281. more in the hands of Mrs. Soinerville, his sister- in- law, in New Orchard- street, which were also deliver- ed over to the officer for inspection. He indorsed the notes " Sommervitle," and putting the whole into his pocket, said that Whiting must go with him to the Bank, To the Bank they went, where the man car- ried Whiting through several offices, when, he said, that as ( he proper cleik had not yet arrived, they would fake some refreshment at a public house; and after being there a short time he went over to the Bank to see if the proper clerk had yet arrived, but lie never afterwards returned to Whiting. The same man, who is of the middle stature, and fresh coloured, with red hair and whiskers, accompanied by another man, went to Mrs. Reiley's Coach and Horses, Ban- b:- i. l£ e. street, St. Giles's, on the same errand, assuming Ihe same characters of officers from the Bank, and stating, that tliey were sent by the Bank Solicitor. Slic told them that she had only 201. made up for Hit: distiller. They look ( he notes and Mis. R'u son to the Bank ; and on arriving there, they sent the son to a public- house, while they went to theBauk Solicitor, inn they, of course, never returned. The revenue derived frnm farminz the Post Horse Duty has faliuishort very considerably, by the bidding of the present year. REMARKABLE DISEVSE.— A sailor who arrived here a few days ago iu the ship Harmony, was taken lo tlio Infirmary in a most deplorable situation, both hi- legs aud one of his arms having gradually de- cayed, slid at length dropped off, in consequence of some disease of which we believe scarcely any ex- ample had ever before been witnessed. He was also seized with a locked jaw, of which he died a short time alter being admitted. — Liverpool Courier. PARLIAMENT. The Corn Bill, founded on the resolutions which had been agreed to by the House of Commons, w as last night brought in hy Mr. Robiu. on, read a first lime, and ordered lo be read a second time on Friday. Upon the subject of ibecrntl and tyrannic treat- menfof the Spani'h Patriots, a very warm debate took place, in the course of which the conduct of the present Government of Spain was reprobated in the strongest terms. An aberration betwetn Mr. Hart Davi. and Mr. Whitliread took place, which it was feared might lead to unpleasant personal eoii- e- quences, but which were prevented by the timely and aniicable interference of the Speaker, whose conduct 011 all occasions renders him one of the most brilliant ornaments that ever adorned the senatorial chair.

On Tuesday last the Society of Crypt Youths rang at Saint Mary de Crypt Church, in three hours and twenty- five minutes, a true arid complete peal of Bob- Major, consisting of 5,440 changes, with the sixth 12 limes wrong antl 12 times right, being the first peal ever rang iu that method in this city. An anonymous writer iu The Times makes the following observations, which, if correct, are highly important:—" It is a general complaint that the iniest apples of this country have degenerated, aud that many of the best sorts have entirely disappeared from our gardens and orchards. It wotild not be dif- ficult to shew, that every successive grafting is a new perjoration of tbe fruit engrafted. By sum proof the failure w'ould be accounted for: but I shall only at present so far intrude npon the columns of your paper, as to point out an effectual method of retaining good apples iu the conntry without Ihe pains of grafting. In every perfectly ripe apple there will be found one, and sometimes two round seeds; the others will have one or more flatted sides. The round ones will produce the improved fruit from which they are taken; and those with flatted sides will produce the fruit of the crab upon which the graft was inserted. It requires not a long time to ascertain tbe difference; for if a circle is drawn iu rich ground, and the flat sided seeds planted therein antl the round seeds in the centre, the variations of quality will he discovered in twoor three years; the first will throw ont the leaves of a crab, and the latter the leaves of an improved tree, distin- guished in shape, fibre, and a laiiuginous appearance; and in due time the fruit of each will put every thing lieyond doubt. It is to be observed, moreover, that the seeds of crabs, being originals, are mostly, if not altogether, round," Dobbs, one of the Wolverhampton Company of Comedians, has just completed a reaping machine, which not only cuts tbe corn, but gathers it at tbe same time. This ingenious invention was exhibited at work on the stage, oil his benefit night. The stage was covered with earth and planted with wheat, and the experiment answered the expectations of the audience. Sir. Robinson's proposed measure relative to the importation of corn, and which has the support of Government, is briefly this : — to make 30s. tbe quarter of Wheat the protecting price; Rye, Peas, Beans, 53s. Barley 40s. anil Oats 26*.; and to allow the importation, wan- housing, and exportation of Foreign Corn, duty free; hut to permit none to be sold in this country while the average market price of Wheat is under 80s. The inhabitants of Mincbinbampton and Nails- worth are signing a Petition against the Corn Bill. A meeting of the inhabitants of Tewkesbury was lield on Thursday last, for Ibe purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament against any alteration in the Corn Laws. At a most respectable me eting of the inhabitants of Calne, on Wednesday, a firm but temperate petition was agreetl to against the proposed Corn Bill.— A petition against the Corn Bill has also been forward- » - ftl from Frome, signed by several thousands ofthe in- linbit. ints; and one from Bristol, with 40,050 names attached, passed through Bath on Wednesday, on its way lo London; the coach in which it was con- veyed was adorned with flags,— And a petition ( rotn Balh with 10,000 signatures, was sent off on Wed- nesday to Colonel L. tngion, ycho lias undertaken to present ii.

A meeting was held at Bristol on Thursday, fo take into consideration the present Insolvent Debtor Act, und several judicious measures were adopted previous lo a petition to Parliament on thesnbject. The great evil resulting from Ihe late Act is, that it provides every thing for debtor, and nothing for the creditor. A Meeting of tbe Surgeons and Apothecaries of Somersetshire was held, at Weli*, ou Wednesday, to frame a Petition to Parliament to exonerate every country practitioner from the duty paid for one horse actually used in his profession.

Morgan. f ff^ HE Association { ot LifeHns- iraice is founded upon kj precisely tbe same principles as those on which the Fire Insurance is conducted — the whole surplus capital of the Institution being divided amongst tbe representatives of tbe Members, by additions made to the amount secured by their policies. As the Premiums usually demanded considerably exceed what is requisite to pay the sums insured, this Association has reduced the rates nearly 10 per cent. Tbe advantages of Life Insurance need not be insist- ed npon, they are, in fact, too numerous to be com- pressed within the limits of a few sentences: but tbe great utility of it will be, in some degree, illustrated by a single example. A person 18 years of age, may, by an annual pay- ment of 21. 6s. 8d. insure 1001. payable to his Execn- torsat his decease; or for 231.6s. 8d. may seenrelOOOI. and thus, at a moderate yearly expence, preserve his family from distress. If the Insurer should at any time find it inconvenient to continue his annual payment, the Society will purchase his interest in the policy. The Directors of this Institution have hitherto de- clined taking any official notice of the conduct of Mr. Barber Beaumont, the " Managing Director of the Provident Life Office," notwithstanding the incessant attacks which that person has made upon the plan of the " Union," and upon its conductors— attacks the more mean and censurable, because published under assumed signatures. Mr. B. having, however, at length, in bin official ad- vertisements, dared to assert, that the effect of tho " Union" plan will, in the opinion of ALL the most ex- perienced judges, be ultimate insolvency, the Directors feel themselves bound to notice such a gross and ma- lignant insult. They therefore take this mode of stilting the follow- ing fact-., and of culling upon the Managing Director of the " Provident and County Offices'' to disprove them if he can. I st. That the Premiums taken by'the " Provident Office" are upon an average upwards of 25 per ccnt. more than sufficient to enable it to pay the sums insur- ed, ( supposing lis conductors lo he only tolerably cautious in regard to the state of health of the parties proposing themselves as members) and of course tbat • he reduction of about 10 per cent, in the terms of insurance, made by the " Union," cannot endanger its safety, because its rates of premium are stiil far more than adequate to its engagements ;— for proof of this assertion the reader is referred to the works of that eminent calculator, Mr. Bailey, and of Mr, W. Mor- gan, of the Equitable Office. ' telly, That the Union Office," ( which Mr. B. B. is pleased to treat as u recent scheme, a " cheap adven- ture, & c. & c.) was established about the same period as the " Provident," and has already effected more In- surances than the latter Institution. 3dly, Tiiat the '' Union" lias the sanction of an Act of tbe Legislature, as well as the " Provident," though tile Diiectors of the Union have not had the modesty to announce themselves as being " SPECIALLY em- powered by Act of Parliament, for the Insurance of Lives," fyc. as Mr. Beaumont used to do. Having stated these facls, the Directors leave the public to decide upon the conduct of tbe " Managing Director of the County and Provident" in botli ano- nymously and officially libelling au Institution, founded ( not like those Offices, for the emolument of a body of Share- holders, but) for securing to the Families of its Members a provision after the decease of the insured.

[/ n the above Schedule it appears as if the duties stated tvere in addition to the old duties ; the fact is, that the old duties are repealed, and those stated in the schedule are imposed in their stead ] A lettet from Hanover, dated February 13, says: — " On the 8th instant^ sentence was passed upon Lieutenant- Colonel von Schink, who had raised a regiment of lancers-, consisting of Hanoverians, for the F'rcOch. He has been for some months in prison at HaObver. His sentence is as follows ;—" Tuat he shall not be punished with death, but his whole pro- perty and estates are confiscated, his nobility for- feileit. and lie is ctjudcmfx- i! tr> imprisonment for lift-, unless the Prince Rege, 1! should please to mitigate the sentence." About half a year ago his daughter, who was allowed access to liiui^ formed a plan to set liiin at liberty, and furnished him With a rope- ladder. — At a certain hour she wis ready before the gates of tbe Castle witii two excellent horses, but afltr waiting some hours iu vain, with terrible anxiety, she returned to the city, where she learned lhat the ladder being too short her father had beeti forced to take a leap, and sprained his foot, so that Ihe guard, alarmed by his groans, discovered hiin in great pain on the ground. He was accordingly guarded more closely, and his daughter denied farther access to him." Our readers will recollect the account given of ihe body of a man having been cut in pieces, and the mu- tilated members deposited in different quarters of Paris. This horrible transaction occurred in Novem- ber, and a considerable time elapsed before any knowledge of the nrifortunnte victim could he obtain- ed. At last it was discovered liy a laundress, named Calamare, that the deceased was Augustus Dauntun ; and circumstances led to the suspicion lhat his brother, Charles Dauntnn, was gniliy of the murder ; and that besides this cruel fratricide, lie bad previously mur- dered his aunt. In his examinations he had some- times confessed and sometimes denied these dimes ; and with respect to the murder of his brother, he had accused it person, named Girotirard, a clerk in the post- office. It appears from the French papers re- ceived on Monday, that the trial of these persons com- menced before the Patis Court of Assizes on Feb. 23. The clothes ol the deceased, covered with blood, and a plaster cast taken from the roniiti tiaiice after the head of the deceased was found, was placed on the bar in ft out of Ihe prisoners.— Nine witnesses were examined, tin- last of whom was M. Depnytren, a surgeon, wl- o, in reply to tbe questions put to him, gave it as his opinion lliat Augu « le Damituu bad been murdered fasting ( of course probably before break- fast); that he had been dressed in his shirt and great eoat; tint be was standing, as the marks left by the blooj flowing from ihe principal wounds in tbe head, were parallel to the axis of the body ; that it might be supposed that the hand* of the victim had be<* i field behind him ( as they were uot injured) by one person, while li* was ruck by another on Hie head and the breast; tlmt had there not been some person behind to keep hp the body, Ihe deceased must have fallen on receiving any one ol the blows which he had sustained ; hut that it did not appear that lie had fallen, from the marks of liie blood. M. Depuytren observed, that what he bad stated were to he regard- ed merely as conjecture*, hut it was remaikable, that these coujectures were found to agree with the cir- cumstances detailed hy Charles Daunton when he confessed lhat he was gnilly of the murder. The wretched men accused of this crime were greatly addicted to gambling, and if theyJiave been guilty, it is probable that the passion for play had a poweiful influence in fustigating them lo commit this barbarous murder. There were about thirty inore witnesses to examine, and tbe Court was adjourned. FORMIDABLE BANOITTI.— FUNDI ( Naples).— An association ot banditti has been formed in this c. oun- tiy which is terrific, fiom the nnuiber of individuals of all nations eomtvosi- " it. Tliey entered onr town in force, we having no troops but the depots cf some few regiments: tiny demanded supplies of money and clothing from the Magistrate, threatening to carry off all those who should refuse compliance. The Magis- trate made a requisition of all the cloth, and issued in payment tile Cash found in the town chest. But by a fortunate change, as llie robbers were about to quit the town, astiong detachment of the S I laficers arrived; whose Commander, apprized of what had taken place, ordered the gates of the town t » be shut. or to remain within doors. He was joined by 120 men. The lancers charged the robbers, who retired under the piazzas of Ihe place, wiitre they were at- tacked by Ihe armed citizens. Seventeen brigands were made prisoners, and eleven killed. ANCIENT BABCZ OF OFFICE.— It may be instruc- tive, perhaps, to some of our leaders to be informed as to the meaning and origin ot tbe Sceptre, Mace, or Virge, namely, as Used ill Civil and Ecclesiastical processions, that it s, originally, an emblem of liie straitoess or direct line oi rule of conduct in ilio « e who execute Civil or Religious offices. The Scep- tre has been the badge of authority, from the earliest ages. It was anciently nothing more than a straight, slender rod, studded sometimes, for ornament, With littles nails of gold ; an emblem of inlegtity in the exercise of power, and of adherence lo the straight line of justice antl righteousness. " The Sceptre of Righteousness" is called " the Sceptre of Christ's king- dom." The perfection of the emblem consisted iu Hie sttaightiuss of tile stick; every thing else was orna- mental. This will account tor its being still used by attendants in Courts of Justice, Constables, Sheriffs, and upon other civil and religious occasions. TBE SHERIFFS.— It appears singular, tbat the Crown should nominate the Sheriffs of every county in the kingdom, aud not those of Middlesex— the reason may be thus briefly stated. The union of the Slirivalty or Sheriffwick of London and Middlesex look place iu the reign of Henry the First. Middle- sex was at that time covered wiih woods, and 111" per- petrators of climes in the city were accustomed to escape in them, and Hills avoid punishment. Il was therefore deteimined lo extend the jurisdiction of the city over that oftlie county. The charter by which this power was conveyed by the Crown is in the fol- lowing words :—*' Know ye that I have granted to my citizens of London to hold Middlesex to farm for three hundred pounds upon account to them and their heirs, so that tlie said citizens shall place as Sheriff whom they will of themselves."— This fec- falm has long since been sold or given away by the Crown, and is now the private property of Sir Wm. Rush, Baronet, to whom it is paid half- yearly by the Sue- riffs. In the time of Alfred, all S ieriffs were elect ed by the people in tlieir respective counties, and so continued until the reigu of Edward the Second, when the right w as taken f rom the people, and veiled in the Lord Chancellor, Lord Treasuier, and the Judges. LUNACY.— On Monday la* t, about twelve o'clock , a most extraordinary circumstance took place at the Horse Guards, in the yard between the iron gates in Whitehall and the general building. A gentleman of about 30 years of age, after walking about for some time in a state of great agitation, made up to the sen- tinel in flit passage leading from the open space lo the Orderly- rooms, aud producing a brace of pistols, in- sisted upon bis fighting him. The sentinel ordered him to withdraw from his post, which he did, to the open space, where lie disc barged one of the pistol* in the air, and immediately after presented the other at his own head. A life- guardsman and another per- son rushed ill upon him at tbe instant, and with difficulty wrested the pistol from him. It was found to be charged, with boll. Sayers, the Bow- street officer, who was passing at the time, took charge of the geutleman, and as he refused to give any account ofhimself, proceeded to search liitn. Theie were found on his person Exchequer Bills to the amount of between 14 and 15,0001. and Napoleon and other coins to a considerable amouYit. He was afterwards taken before Sir N. Ciinant, who on discovering his relatives, ordered him lo be placed under their care. It appears, that lie held a high appointment in the army, and that the unfavourable result ofaCourt- Martial, ill which he bad been engaged, continues to prey ou his mi lid, so as to cause occasional derangement. Last Sunday night was appointed for the marriage of the daughter of an opulent farmer, named Dnlton, near Clogleigh:— The lrieiids were bidden, and the priest was there, and the intended bridegroom— and ample store of entertainment for them all; when a young fellow, earned Jemmy Brien, headed a parly, of whom 14 or 15 well armed accompanied him, leav- ing a few outside as sentries, suddenly entered the house, announcing his name and his purpose—" Here I am, boys, Jemmy Brien, nor shall any other ever get this girl ( naming her, and taking bold of hci), tor she's engaged to me." It does not appear that the damsel made any great struggle, and she was banded out to the astonishment of the host and his guests, who were terrified by 14 or 15 guns and blunder- busses staring them in the face. After gaping a while at one another, the company unanimously agreed tbat the loss of the girl would be nine- It ag- gravated bv lhat of the supper, towliich they resorted far consolation, with most vigorous appetite.— Chnmel Herald. IMPORTANT CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.— We uiidi i- stand that Mr. Iloblyn, to whom the Public are in- debted for several useful discoveries in mechanics, chemistry, & c. has, in the course of bis chemical Ex- periments, recently discovered ihe existence of tannin in the fibres of the oak root, and that this hitherto un- noticed production may he very successfully employed in the manufacture of leather, as it contains'withiii an eighth as inucli of tlf. principle in question as Ihe common oak bark. It may be very advantageously employed also as a mordant iu dyeing, where a pow- erful astriugent is required. BANKRUPTS from SATURDAY'S O AZF. TTF,.

Private letters from Juggtrnauth give the follow- ing particulars ofthe occurrences during the late fes- tival of the Rutt Jatra at that place :— " JUGGERNAUTH, Jan. 22,1814.— The sights here beggar all description. Though Jtiggernautli made some progress on the 19th, and has travelled daily ever since, he has not yet reached his country- house, which is about a mile from the temple : he may per- haps, however, arrive there to night. His broker is a head of him ; and the lady in the rear. One woman only has devoted herself under the wheels, and a shocking sight it was! Another ( intending, I believe, likewise lo devote herself,) missed Ihe wheels wilh her body, but had her arm broken. Three have lost tlieir lives by the pressure of the crowd, oue of them in the temple and Iwo in the street. " The place swarms with fakeers and mendicants, wlipse devices lo attract attention arc in many in- stances really ingenious. You see some standing for half tile day ou their heads, bawling out all the while for alms; some, with their heads entirely covered with earth; some having their eyes filled willi loud, and flieir months with straw ; some lying in puddles of water;— one man with his feet tied to his neck, another » itli a pot of fite ou his belly, and a third en- veloped in a net- woik made of rope. ". Yesterday evening we witnessed a Suttee. The artitig Magistrate alighted, and spoke ' 0 the w. mean; but she said that she loved her husband, aud was de- termined to burn with him. The man bad died only about seven hours before ; and his body was iu a pit at a short distance, filled wijh burning faggots. She proceeded toward the spot, supported by her two sotfS and several Brahmins— music playing during the ceremony. When she came near the pit, sheteeeiv- ed a vessel ( containing offerings I suppose,) from one of tbe sons, antl then advancing from the rest, passed round the place until she came opposite to her hus- band, when she threw in the vessel, and presently sprang forward with open arms, embraced the dead body, and soon afterw ards expired. The remains of both were subsequently taken up; and the sons hav- ing first performed certain ceremonies for each, they were placed on seperate piles, and consumed to ashes. " I am happy to say that not a life lias this year been lost at the barrier, where last year 27 were crush- ed to death. " Jan. 28, 1814.— Jiiggernanth, his brother and sister, all quitted their Garden- house, last night, mounted their Rntts again, and this morning have commenced their journey back to the temple, in perfect health ; for you must know tint Jnggernaulh, according to his annual custom, had caught cold, by bathing iu the temple at the last full moon ; in conse- quence of which lie shut himself up for a fortnight, and, a day or two after he was well enough lo see company, and set out on this expedition lo his Garden honse for change of air. He accordingly now returns quits rtstereU." BANKRUPTS from TUESDAY'S GAZETTE. John Lnne, Arundel, Sussex, corn- merchant, March 7, 11, April n, at Guildhall. Atts. Palmer and Co.
