HAMBURGH PAPERS. Lail night we received Hambnrgh Papers to the 29th ult. In the preceding column we have given tome extra.% from there Journals. The following, which appears in one of them, contains fame fails, from which our Readers may draw fame inferences: " MENTZ, NOV. 13. " Hitherto, bade. the French guards, whofe artillery is Coon expefted, no more troops from the grand army have paired through this city for France; in the mean time, feveral divifions of troops which were polled in the territories of Hanau, Fulda, &c. have arrived here, having been obliged to leave their nations, to make room for the advancing corps, whole arrival is expelled in this city towards the latter end of the month.—Befides the corps of Marital Sault, feveral . regiments' , from other corps, will leave the army in the North of Germany, and partly proceed to Boulogne, and partly be detached to the army of the Gironde. On that river there is now colleeling a fccond army of. Iteferve, under General Dupont. As loon as this (hall be completed, it will immediately march for Spain, and a third army of reterve direitly begin to be affembled ; of which, who will be the Commander is not yet known. " From the interior of France, as alto from the frontiers, a guilt number of troops are on their way to Bayonne ; among which are thole defined to complete the grand army, and which have advanced to the Rhine. The whole force which is at prefent proceeding towards the fouthern part of Europa confifls of more than too,oco men, a num ber more than doub!e what will be fulficient to drive the Englillt out of Portugal, thrluld they attempt a landing ; it is therefore conjeCtured, with much probability, that this great mats of troops is defin ed for a more impoitant objell ; and, if we may troll general report, the whole extenfive track of coati from the extreme point of Portugal, to Dantzic, &c. will be occupied by French trcopr, by which the er nquefl of Gibraltar will likewife be undertaken, in order, in conjonaion with Ruffia and Denmark, to put an end to the direct influence of England in the North and South of Europe, and thereby fr)tce the Englifh Government to give up its inordinate maritime defpotifm, and render it willing to conclude a fpeedy peace." itehel were fent - of yeflerday by Gorernment to Sii Sins tySetrrn, and alfo to the Welt Indies.

EAGLE INSURANCE Costrawy.—Yefterday a meet ing of the Shareholders of the Eagle Infurance Company met at the London Tavern,for the avowed purpof.; of electing Auditors. Upwards of 400 of the Pr oprieters were prefent. Inftead of promoting the objett of the meeting, they took into their cnnfidera. tion the propriety ofcertainMembers of the Company having created themfelves Directors of the Efta. blifirment. After much violent difc.fn nit, it was almoft unanimoufly agreed that the prefent Di eft ors, not having been duly defied, (tumid be deprived of their Situations. It was allowed by many, that there could be no objection to the prefent Directors, provided they had been properly chofen; and a number of votes were offered them, provided they would fubmit to a fair elation. This was diffented from by all the Gentlemen already in power, who alto refufed to recognize any proceedings in which they themfelves had not a principal !hare. The Elation-for Auditors was proceeded in by the Direttors and their party, in one part of the houfe, whilft in another, the bulk of the Proprietors were confidering of protefts, &c. and how to difarm the Diretiors of their power.

GUILDHALL—The Stewards , f a benefit focietfr held for a long feries of years at the B'ue Lail pub. tic honk, Broadway, Blackftiari, were fummoned before the blagillrate by Thomas Campion, a member of the fociety, upon a complaint of his being unjullly expelled she laid fociety, and his name ar. biirarily (truck from :brit btu-Ai. The complainant is an old man, eighty years of are, blind f one eye, and bending, in the winter (.1 lice, under the weight of thAe iitfirmities 44 which firth k heir to :"—he Elated that he had been forty years a member of this foeiety s and had uniformly paid his folder iption and complied with the rules ; that be is a whip m a k er by trade, and that having been, fume weeks finee, feized with the rheumatic gout, and totally unable to earn a penny, he was obliged to apply to the In. ciety for the ufual allowance of fourteen (killings week ; that he received it for about fix week, ; and at the end of that time, in anfwer to forne i•tquirks from the fociety, he wrote them an account ftring rthe truth, that the pain had left him, and he was in hopes of recovering at no very dillant day ;—but that be was (till extsemely feeble, jail able to walk about, bit not to earn a Mill:rig by work ; but or making application to the fociety for the next pay. merit of tae allowance, he was refilled, and inf rmed that his name was lb tick out of the books of the ' Society. The Stewards answered, That by the Bth regula tion in the fociety's all perfons on rick al. lowances were precluded from quitting their lick rooms, doing any kind of work or bufinefs what foever, except receiving money, giving orders to a feivant, or figniog a receipt," and that any pylon doing any other bufinefs, while receiving the Fick allowance, mutt incur the liability of expulfion. And further, Mr. Crowe, one of the Itewarclq, Rated, that lie and his colleague were deputed to visit Campion at Ilammerfmith i and that; when he came to the hook, upon not acing him in his (hop, lie went in to purchafe a whip, f o r which th t e Ltd who was there asked him 4;. 6d. lie objeCted to this, and ailed to fee the old man of the shop, who, he was fore, would fell it to him cliciper. Upon thi., the boy called the old man out from a room behind the lhop ; Lowe led him into a haggling bat gain about the whip, for which the old man received 4c. and on Mr. Cr)we's report of this ciectinillance, the fociety thought proper to expel Cimpion, and (lac his name horn their books. It further appeared, from the flatement of the other fiewsrd, that under the 11th . wide of the fociety's regulations, a lick member would be entit led to 14s. per week for nine months, if he fo long continued ill ; and if his diforder thould prove in curable, then to 75. per week for life. Sir CHARLES PRICE was of opiaion, that the So. ciety in expelling the complainant, for the caufe Hated by their Itewards, had acted prematurely and un jußly. They teemed to think themfelvet jultified, by a trick of their own deviling, to trepan this poor old man, inadvertently and unfufpeilingly, into a confiruSive violation of their rulcs, for the purpofe of getting tid of him by a pasty exputfion. But at this cafe, their condo° bore every (lamp of cruelty and injuflice to an aged member, who had been but fix weeks, and not nine months, receiving their fok allowance, and not ailing as a man who wilbed to become a pet manent bur then upon their funds, even for the very ptecatious remainder of his life. But, iunder the vet y B.lt regulation, their condo& was not warranted ; which regulation did not forbid a man receiving money in his ()Ana, ' &c. The man only•came into his fitop to receive four fidlings for a whip; and he would not, it appeared, have dos,e even that, had hi h-tt been fednced to it by a trick. The Magillratt's advice, therefore, was, that the Society thould 'came Thomas Campion to his place on their books. The fpokefman was prrceeding with great deg/Imre to vindicate the condo& of the Wl4,..fitylui Society but Le was loon reminded that he was not then iu his club room, to carry his point by the powers of L ig oratory, or the vote of a party majority. The Magifirate gave him to underhand, that either the complainant mull be rellored, or left to proceed spina the Stewards by indictment.
