Horse Guards, September 8, 1819. It having been represented to the Commander In Chief, that the full benefit of the indulgence granted by the Legislature' to Soldiers, in sending Letters to their relatives or friends, has in many instances been withheld, in consequence of the Officers by whom such Letters are indorsed having omitted to state the name of the Regiment, Corps, or Detachment, commanded by them, as required by the Act of Parliament to entitle such Let ters to be delivered free of ,postage, his Royal Highness the Commander in Cbief is under the necessity of calling the atten— tion of Of commanding Regiments and Detachments to the General Order of the eild January•, 1817, as contained in page 476 of the General Regulations of the Army, and of directing that all single Letters from Soldiers are to be addressed in the following manner': • From A. of the - Regiment.

COURTS MARTIAL Horse Guards, September 6, 1819. At a General Court Martial held at Corfu, on the 31st May, 1819, and continued by adjournments to the 2d June following, Major Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Foot, was arraigned upon the undermentioned Charge, viz. - - " For conduct most unmilitary•, and subversive of all Disc:- pline and good Order, in the following instances, viz. " 1. For making use of insulting language to the Officers of the Bth (or King's, Regiment of Foot, at large, at the Aless at Malta, in or about the month of May last, as follows That he would be d—d if ever he sat at the Mess-table again,' or words to a similar insulting effect; aad then withdrawing himself from the Mess. " 2. For refusing, subsequently to using such expressions, and so conducting himself, to retract what he had said, when reques-, ted so to do by Lieutenant-Colonel Rossarow. " 3. For delivering a message to Lieutenant-Colonel ROSES TON, to be carried to the Officers of the Bth (or King's) }Uzi mutt of Foot, to the following purport, amounting to a Chal lenge—' That if any persons thought themselves aggrieved at what he, - Major Been, had said, be would grant them satisfac tion,' and which message Lieutenant-Colonel 11911ERTON did im mediately, or shortly afterwards, deliver to the said Officers." Upon which Charge the Court came to the following decision " The Court having investigated the Charge preferred against the prisoner, Major Tnostas Beer, of the Bth (or King's) Hee,: ment, and having under its consideration the whole of the evi dence offered on this Trial, as well in support of the prosecution as on the behalf of the prisoner, declares its opinion, that in re spect to•the first instance, the prisoner is Guilty of the Chirp as specified in the said first instance. " In respect to the second instance, the prisoner is Guilty of the Charge, as specified in the said second instance. " In respect to the third instance, the prisoner is Not Guilty • of the Charge, as specified in the said third instance; inasmuch as the evidence does net sufficiently prove that Lieutenant-Colo nel Roberton was actually authorised by Major Buck to carry the challenge, which he did tarry, to the Officers of the Regi ment, although it is clear that Major Buck made use of the lan guage as stated in the third instance of the Charge. " The Court, in consequence of the above opinion and find ing, does sentence the prisoner Major 'Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Foot, to be placed at the foot of the list of the Majors of his Majesty's Army, and further to be pub licly and severely reprimanded, at such time and place as may be directed. " The Court having delivered its opinion and sentence. deems it its duty to animadvert upon a part of the evidence oeßrevet Major Campbell, given on the defence, as regarding the third ( instance of the Charge. " And the Court cannot refrain from remarking, as well on the spirit which evidently appears* to have actuated the wit ness, as on the answers themselves, which are most extraordi nary, inasmuch as it must have been evident to the witness, that the message which he himself sent, could not, by any possibi lity, have been in consequence of the communication made by Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton ; as that communication was, within the witness's own knowledge, made on the day subse quent to that on which he sent the message, which he relates in his evidence." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to approve and con firm the finding and sentence of the Court • and as Major Buck has been promoted according to his standing in the General Brevet lately published, and previous to this sentence being made known, the same will be cancelled, in older to the fulfil ment thereof. By command of his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief. lIARRY CALVERT, Adjutant-General. Horse Guards. 4th Sept. 1819. At a General Court Martial held at Corfu, on the 21st of: April, 1819, and continued by adjournments until 28th May' following, Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Thomas Roberton, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Foot , w as arrai g ned upon the un dermentioned Charges, viz. " Ist. When commanding the Bth. (or King's) Regiment, in or about the month of May last, in Malta, for being the carrier of a challenge, or of a message tantamount to a challenge, from the Major of that Regiment (Major Buck) to the Officers of the corps assembled, as ordered by himself." " 2d. For misapplying his Majesty's provisions, in the instance of drawing a daily ration of provisions for many months, under the pretence, and certified by himself, as for a private servant of his own, not a soldier, when, in fact, such ration was drawn for, and delivered to, the Master of the Regimental Band." " 3d. For conduct disgraceful to himself, as Commanding Officer of the Regiment, and subversive of every principle of military rule and subordination, in sending for the Pay Serjeanta of the whole, or some, of the Companies of the Regiment, some days antecedent to the first inspection subsequent to the arrival of the Regiment at Malta, and either advising, directing, or stating to thenythat the men of their different Companies ought to complain to the General Officer at the e'tsuing inspection, of the trowsers furnished by the Captains of Companies, or by the Officers in payment thereof ; or generally expressing that the men ought not to have received them, and ought to complain; or words tending to make the men dissatisfied with the conduct of their Officers." " 4th. For conduct most unmilitary and derogatory to his' character, as an Officer commanding a Regiment in his Majesty's service, in confining, in the month of September last, and subse quently trying and punishing, private James Coburne, for making a compLiint to him, the Commanding Officer ; whereat the said private did not come forward with, or in fact make, any coin ; laint, but being asked a question or questions, merely had re turned a natural answer to such question or questions put front him the •Commanding Officer." " sth. For unmilitary conduct, as Commanding °Aker of the Bth (or King's) Regiment, in permitting private James Coburn, to appear as an evidence on a General Court Martial, assembled at Sialta in the month of October last, with his side-arms on, though the said private was at that time a prisoner, and returned into confinement, and had been for many days confined as such, `on charges stated by Lieutenant-Colonel Roberson himself to the General Court Martial, to be of a heinous nature. " &h. For gross abuse of his power and authority, as Corn 'handing Officer of the Bth (or King's) Regiment, in conducting himself towards private James Coburn, tyrannically, cruelly, and unjustly, as well in Charge 4th, as in other respects through out, from the period commencing in September and ending in November fo ll owing;— i n shewing a misplaw,d partiality in _ . ... ... regard to private John Condell, and in having treated private Daniel Reily with undue severit y ;--the whole of these acts being principally consequent to the evidence which the three above mentioned soldiers had given at a General Court Martial, before which he prosecuted Lieutenant M'Swiney, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment. " 7th. For gross neglect and most disorderly c .ndurt in the tanagement of the Regiment under Isis command, in the fol wing instances, viz. Ist. Establishing a Committee of Paymastership in a man ner contrary to his Majesty's Regulations. '2(l. Knowingly permitting the Staff Serjeants of the Regi ment to be Pay Serjeants of Companies, contrary to his Majesty's Regulations. ' Sd. Permitting Sentences of Regimental Courts Martial to be carries into execution without affixing hia approval to the pro ceedings ofthe same. 4th. Illegally changing the Sentence of a Regimental Court Martial by his own authority. • stb. Approving a sentence of a Court Martial, which had been held not by his order. • 6th. Directing a sentence of a Court Martial to be carried into execution in a manner contrary to the tenour of the said sentence. • 7th. Entering Courts Martial Irregularly, in respect to dates, in the Regimental Court Martial Book. • Bth. And lastly, omitting entirely to enter many Courts Martial in the said book, which had taken place in the Regiment. " Bth. For neglect of duty as Commanding Officer of the Bth (or King's) Regiment, and for violation of those orders and regulation of the service, which his Majesty has been gra ciously pleased to establish for the protection of the pecuniary interests of every soldier in the British Army, in the following instances, viz. • Ist. Publishing a Regimental Order about November last, and approving the Report of a Board, by which the Quarter- Master was permitted to make an unwarrantable profit in the sale of articles or necessaries to the soldiers. 2d. Permitting the Companies' Books to be in a state of great irregularity. - -- - - 3d. Permitting the Private Ledgers of the soldiers of the Re giment to be in a state of great disorder. 4th. Allowing the prices of the same articled of necessaries supplied the different Companies, to be charged at a great variety of rates, which must tend to create discontent in the Regiment, and injury to the pecuniary interest of the soldier.' " Upon which Charges the Court came to the following decision: " The Court having investigated the several charges preferred against the prisoner, Lieutenant-Colonel P. I'. Roberton, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment, and having under its consideration the whole of the evidence produced on this trial, as well in sup port of the prosecution as on the behalf of the prisoner, declares its opinion—That in respect to the First Charge, the prisoner is Guilty of the same." " In respect to the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Charges, the prisoner is Guilty of the same." - - " In respect to the Seventh Charge, the prisoner is Guilty of the same, in all the eight Counts. The Court remarks regard ing the Fourth Count, that the prisoner seems to have been in duced to change the Sentence of the Regimental Court Martial in order to favour the soldier tried, on account of the particular good character he bore, and the representation of that circum stance made by some Officers of the Regiment —Further the Court observes, that the prisoner may have been led into the ir regularity stated in the Sixth Count, from a custom prevailing (as the prisoner asserts) in the Bth Regimen, of indicting cor poral punishment for theft on the breech. " In respect to the Eighth Charge, the Prisoner is Guilty of the same in all the Four Counts of the said Charge. The Court however cannot refrain from remarking, in reference to the first Count of this Charge, the grass irregularity and carelessness with which (as appears from the evidence) the Board conducted the duty entrusted to it—which neglect of duty, whilst it compro mised the pecuniary interest of the soldier, might, by possibi lity, have inadvertently led Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton to pub lish t• the Regiment the proceedings of the Board, without due reflection. " Further the Court, in reference to its decision en the 4th Count, deems it necessary to remark, that some variation the prices of necessaries will frequently occur in the different Companies of a Regiment, and may be unavoidable : yet the ex eceding difference of the prices of them (as appears in evidence before the Court) was not warranted by any thing brought for ward on the defence, nor does it appear that the prisoner took any steps to ascertain the grounds of such excessive variety of prices. " The Court, in consequence of the above opinion and find ing on all the Charges preferred against Lieutenant-Colonel'P. T. Roberton, does sentence him to be Cashiered. " The Court having delivered its opinion and sentence, ad verts to the observations it made in the course of its procee dings to Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton, respecting the infraction of the Standing Orders of the Regiment, which he imputed to Brevet _ _ Major Campbell. " The Court remarks, that Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton 624 in a great degree, by his own acts, abrogated those Standing Or ders on the point in question. And further, it appears the Stand ing Orders which Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton attempted to set forth as being in force, bad never been communicated to the Officers of the Regiment, the Acting Adjutant, and Lieute nant-Colonel De Courcy, now in command of the Regiment, both declared that they had never been in possession of them. " The Court deems it further its duty to comment on the very unusual course pursued by Lieutenant Ross, as appears front his own evidence, in ordering private Coburne to bei confined on the report nude by the S.:rjeant Major,that he did not know what might be the consequences in the Company, of Cobnrne's conduct ; yet Lieutenant Ross himself acknowledges in his evi dence, that he took no step that night to investigate into this alleged misconduct, nor did he, though his Captain was preseet with the Regiment, make any report of it to him, or to the Com manding Officer, till the next day. ' The Prince Regent is pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court. Ills Royal Highness at the lame time considers the irregula rities which appears upon the face of these proceedings to have deranged the whole system of discipline and interior economy in the Bth (or King's) Regiment, as calling for a decided mark of his reproof and displeasure, not only as essential to the re-esta blishment of good order in this old and distinguished corps, but as a warning to every Regiment in the Service, that a strict and punctual adherence to his Majesty's Regulations, in .all their detail, is enjoined and expected from them ; and it appedring from the proceedings of this Court Martial; , as if the practice and the convenience of the moment were ',Created in many instances to supersede the strict observance of the Rules and Regulations laid down by his Majesty's Orders, his Royal High ness considers it essential to apprise the whole Army, that no practice can be permitted to sanction the most trivial deviation from those Regulations; and. that whoever, in the command of Regiments, permits such irregular practice, must do so at his and their peril. Prom the tenonr of these proceedings the Prince Regent is pleased to command that all promotion shall be stopped in the Bth Regiment, until the Corps shall be reported in a. state of good order, conformably to the Regulations of the Service ; and in consequence of the irregularity attending the supply of, and charge for, necessaries, to confider it essential that Quarter- Master George Kiernan shall be removed from the Bth Regiment. The Commander...es-Chief directs that the foregoing Charges preferred against Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Thomas Roberton, of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Foot, together with the find ing and sentence 1,1 the Court, and the Prince ltegent's pleasure thereon, shall be entered in the Genend Order Book, and read I a t the head of every Regiment in his Majesty's Service. Ity emunsand of his Royal alginates the Comma.tdee-:n-Chief, 11.1211.1 . CA L VERT, Adjutant-General TIIR QUA:RR:U. • A Meeting a the Coinmittee of Two Rie:dral ;rap held last night, from the proceedings at which we were enabled to gather the following atk hentic put.- ticulars of the rupture which has taken phice between Mr. HUNT and Dr. WATSON and his friends : After the Triumphal Procession had terminated at the Crown and Anchor Tavern; Mr. HUNT, with some of his particular friends, went into a private room for a few minutes, previous to presenting them selves before the grand party assembled in the Dining Hall. While resting here Dr. WATSON came into the room, and announced that all was ready for fat. ling to—that he had moved Mr. GALL JONES to the Chair, and that the motion had been carried unat:i mously. Mr. HUNT instantly took fire at the intima:. tion, told 1)r. WATSON that he was " a d—d officious meddling fellow," and that JONES should not pre - - side if he (Mr. H.) was to be present. A good deal of altercation ensued, in the course of which Mr. Hos; rated the Doctor soundly for the unwarr,ntable use which he had made of Sir CIIARLEi WOLSELET'S name, as intending to preside at the din ner; :ltd the Doctor, on the otter hand, upbraided Mr. Huxt for speaking thus uncivilly to one who had ever been his most devoted servant, and (mo c'esty apart) who had been, in some measure, the great archi ect of his mighty popularity. Mr. HUNT closed tne strife of words, by haughtily telling the Doctor, that he did not choose to hold any farther converse with him, and that all intercourse between 'them must hen_eforth be for ever at an end. Dr. WATSON, much incensed, withdrew, but took 'the earl est subsequent opportunity of sending his friend, Mr. THISTLEWOOD, to demand satisfaction I from Mt. HUNT for :he insult he had received. When. Mr. THIS: LEWOOD waited on Mr. HUNT, and men ' tioned on who -e part he attended,—" I suppo s e" said Mr. HUNT, Dr. WATSON expects that I shall make him an apology ?" " Certainly," rejoined Mr. T. " an apology as public as the affront was public." "At that rate," replied Mr. H. " I might be called on to make an apology to every scoundrel in London !"—an observation which it is needless to say, put zn immediate end to the conference between, Mr. THISTLEWOOD and Mr. HUNT. The Committee of Two Hundred now thought it necessary to take up the cause of their friend and chief, Dr. WATSON. A spirited letter to Mr. HUNT on the subject was drawn up, and a Deputation ap pointed to deliver it, and insist for a categorical an swer. The persons appointed were a Mulattoe and WADDINGTON, the little acquitted Patriot with the white hat, (meant, we presume, to be characteristic of their determination of having an answer in black upon white). When Messrs. Deputies called at Mr. HUNT'S lodgings, and requested to see him, they were told that he would only admit Mr. WADDINGTON into his presence. Mr. WADDINGTON was accordingly ushered up, and delivered the letter; but Mr. Howl., insteal of opening it, contrived to elicit from the little man as much of its contents as satisfied him that he ought not to open it. For the exoneration of WADDINGTOI.k Mr. HUNT wrote on the back, that be understood the letter referred to a private quarrel, between himself and another individual, and that he did not see what more right the Committee had to intermeddle with his private affairs than he had to intermeddle with their's. With this answer Mr. WADDINGTON retired, and here the mattes rests for the present. The Anniversary of the Birth of FERGIISOM, the Scots Poet, was celebrated on the 6th instant, by the Edinburgh Ferguson (nab, at Htpburn's Tavern, High-street. The attendance was very numerous, and the company, after partaking of an excellent din ner, spent the evening with the greatest hilarity. Many appropriate toasts were given on the occasion, and several favourite songs were sung in floe style by some of the Members. Mai gate is so full of company at present, that it is difficult to find house-room for the visitors. Friday morning the Victory steam -yacht, on her voyage LW London, was compelled to put into Whitstable, from the high wind having unshipped her chimney. The London Engineer, in consequence of the violence of the wind, did not think it prudent to leave Margate that day. DONCASTER RACES. • MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20---(nitsr DAY).
