Manz" Styr. 9.—The following extract sheirs the high perfection to which the Camel Corps, com manded by Major LLIMAIDAIIII4 has been brought.— It is a species of troops new to our army, though they were employed largely in the armies of the Mo- ghat Emperors, and a small corps of them were at tached to the forces of the Maharratta and other Hindoo Chiefs: They are very useful against cavalry, if they_ choose appropriate situations; but can do tittle igainst infantry : " On the Slit tilt. his Excellency Earl MOIRA It. viewed the Camel Corps under the command of Major LUMADAIIII4 ,at Futtygher. The men of i this corps are armed with a musket and bayonet, and each camel canoes a 2-pounder swivel. His Lordship was received on his arrival with the usual salute.— The manual and platoon exercise was then ordered ; after which the Camel Corps wheeled into open co - kimns of troops and formed column in rear of a flank troop, ana deployed into line. The corps then formed a hollow square and dismounted. After se veral discharges of musketry, the men remounted,' and the corps formed an ambuscade in a Tope, and kept up a surprising fire from the swivels. It then changed position, and jerformed several other ca valry evolutions, which gained great applause.— During the cannon salute, the Tad from one of the swivels struck a camel on the head and killed him. This accident occasioned some little interruption. His Lordship was much pleased with the appearance and performances of the corps." The Mayquis of BUCKINGHAM, who has been indis posed, since his return from Paris, we are happy to state, is much better. L e w YEAR.—The cld astronomers, in adapting Tore, to the revolutions of the Sure, by a Leap Year, made no allowance for the gravitating influence. which they ought to have foreseen would take place in the earth's orbit on the 14th of this month, by the I'wo Luminaries of 25,000 Guineas each, which with Two of 020,000, and the 6667 others, All of Sterling Value, will revolve in the Wheel of For tune next Wednesday, Valentine's Day, and whoever has a Chance in that Vortex of Health, may enjoy the Golden Age for ever afterwards. ANECDOTE OF STUNE.—After he had been in ducted to the valuable living at Ct'xwould, in York shire, on the presentation of the late Earl of FAO.. CONBERG, a poor widow, of tuoit-unblemished charac ter, being at the point of death, expressed a wish to receive the holy sacrament in her last moments. The sentimental pastor was accordingly cent for: STERNE instantly obeyed the summons; and the solemn (ere" mony ended, be said, with a most benignant smile, s• What do you intend to leave me, in your will for this trouble ?" Alin Sir, (replied the dying wo man,) I am too poor to give the smallest legacy even , to my nearest relations." " That ez..use (cried . STERNE) shall not serve me ; I must insist on inherit ing your two children ; and, in return for this request, j will take such care of them, that they shall feel as little as possible the loss of an affectionate and worthy mother." She expired. blessing the benevolent deed, • and STERNE most religiously kept his promise ! A Letter from Switzerland contains the fojlowing p art i cu la r s During the last three months we have had here several persons who had left Nismes dh accoent of the perseclitions to which they were exposed. Among others, I have conversed with four or five Ministers : they all agree in painting their situation r. s extremely critical; they declare must solemnly that the present evils are not the result of any political misconduct on their part, bin nib, solely) front the hatred and jealousy of their Catholic brethren; . that they are so surrounded by enemies, and all their actions so misrepresented, that they are afraid to take any steps, lest, on their proving insufficient, they • should be exposed to an. increase of malice and perse- Cation : they are, therefore, quite at a lou to know how their miseries arc to be remedied. Oct a late occasion, when the Duke d'Astootmeue visited Nismes, a Memorial was drawn up, beseeching him, in the humblest manner, to grant them his protection, and to accept their assurancesof loyalty; but, though pot a single complaint was made of all they were actually suffering, their bitter enemies, who sur rounded the Duke. intercepted the Memorial, and threatened tenfold vengeance on its authors. ss The persons here are most anzioue for the fullest investigation, but they decline furnishing any details in writing, lest they should commit their untortunate compauions. Such is the state of terror and alarm. Gs Last week a letter was received here from a Pro testant Minister in Fiance, where he had officiated for twenty-five 'years, informing his frjends that the French Government had decreed that none but na tives should continue in its offices, and, that himstit and many other Swiss .Miuiaters most leave their . churches and, .:crow themselv:-s upon charity.

DARLZY TO LORD VORDRI. " Kinsale, Feb. 1, Mt "My Lone—l have the honour of availing myself of the earliest opportunity that has been allowed me since the disaster of our unfortunate ship, the Lord Melville. to report to your Lordship the arrival of his Majesty's troops that were embarked on hoard of her mulct my command, accounting for the casual ties that occurred by the wreck, and a brief state mut of the misfortune. " Upon making the' land, about eleven o'clock, was. on the Slat ultimo (having lain-tn the . previons night), it blowing nearly a gale, a heavy sea run- Dingy and. the atmostpbere so thick and hazy, that epos discerning the land we found ourselves nearly embayed, the Master bore up to weather what was universally supposed, the entrance into Cove, but which pruved to be the Old Head of Vitaele, anti after every exertion to weather that point, and run the ship into Kinsale harbour, he was compelled to bear away for some friendly looking strand, upon which he might run up the vessel, and await the going out of the tide, in the hope of saving the lives of so many persons, very justly not holding in com petition the ultimate security of the ship. In endeavotrriog moat ardently to effect this object, the vessel was irrecoverably driven npon a bed of rocks by the violence of the gale, distance between three and four hundred yards of the shore, the tide' then making in. No time was lost in passing a rope from the ship to the shore, and cutting away the fore and main masts, to ease the tremendous shocks of the ship against the rocks, by which her bottom was almost immediately stove in, and several feet of water in her cabin. • , At this time it was about three o'clock, P i tt. our situation becoming most critical, by the violence of the sea breaking into the cabin, and over the •ittfll t together with her continual dashing against itha 'mks, a boat was maimed for the Ladles oa , laird, to ethieavoet mahiss the ehoie.two &ken'. iehres, seiththeir savants, soldiers of the 59th Re- Eelat, a &tisanes wife and child of the 59 th Re six of the crew; together with Captain Rad ' of the 6241 Regiment (who was in a weak state iir health), got into the boat and made for the shore 1 ho, distressing to add, they had not reached half . tray , when the boat was swamped, and, with the ex• caption of one sailor, all perished I uNothing possibly remained for those on board but ft await with hope of preservation the falling of the tide, when, should the vessel keep together, it was detertnineJ to lash a long spar from the bow to the neatest dry rock, and pass every person over it, to make good their way along the range of rocks that extended to the shore. Between ten and eleven o'clock the attempt appeared practicable, and to my greatest satisfaction succeeded beyond our utmost hopes, atter the lapse of some time, every individual having hap; pity descended from the ship without any accident. Lieutenant Harty, of the neighbouring signal sta tion, with a party of men, alter the most praisewor thy exertions, had arranged those men along the rocks with lighted sticks, affording essential assis tance, and thereby preventing the loss of the lives of several who would otherwise have certainly fallen into the many large recesses of deep water that en compassed and obstructed our progress to the main land, and over which the breakers occasionally washed. Every person having at last safely reached the shore, Lieutenant Harty, with equalpromputude, had arranged for their being distributed amongst the neighbouring cabins, and they were marched off ac cordingly to return early next morning, for the pur pose of endeavouring to get out the arms and accou trements ; nothing, however, could possibly be et. fectad towards that end by the early return of the tide, and consequent impossibility of access to the ship. The few men and some Officers who were ena bled to return on board, reported to me the nearly total destruction of all the baggage from the sea it was swimming in, and the pillaging that took place after the troops were got on shore. 4 4 Finding the men much in need of repose, and the day advancing, I directed their proceeding t 9 Kinsale, leaving two Officers' parties from the 59th and 62d RegimentsJo remain in protection of the ship, con jointly with a party from the Limerick Militia, and with instructions to commence early next morning (Ist of February) in getting from on board the arms and accoutrements. I have since dispatched a stronger relief to those parties, and shall continue using every exertion until I shall succeed in securing, I hope, as aunt stand of aims, &c. as it is possible, which I all have the honour of reporting for your Lordship's information. " I beg leave to express to your Lordship the very great support and active assistance that has been afforded by Governopnrowne, Collector Meade, and the Magistrates and Gentlemen of Kinsale. 1 sun happy in concluding this, my L9rd, by a report this moment received, that all the arms and accoutre ments have been safely landed, and will arrive here this evening. The troops have undergone much fa. tigire, and are without necessaries. I therefore hope 1 time may be given to recover themselves and get into some orJer.' ~ From the brig that has been wrecked ( Boadi cea), with part of .she 82d Regiment on board, I understand, that. out of 230. *nay sixty have been Aired, and two officer!. —1 Ili yr the honcur. &c.

Tire WIATUER.—Much has been said of the rnu-1 tability of our climate ; but perhaps the truth of the charge was never so obvious- as the last week has, made it. Friday last.was clear hard frost; skating on every river and pond : Saturday, thorough thaw; up to the knees in mud in every street and road Suhday, rain all day: Monday, a dense mist, and slight frost in the morning : Tuesday, rain with a variety of bail from morning till nigh►: Wednesday, half a foot deep in snow, and succeeded by a float of unusual severity, but of what permanence time must shew. • INQUlSTL—Tuesday an Inquest was held at Bowes Farm, Edmonton, on the body of E. Balsam. Two little girls stated, that they were going to school with the deceased on Thursday fortnight, and were met by a boy witeeEng a barrow, who took the strap from his shoulders, and beat the deceased' in so cruel a manner that she wai ailing from that time until her death.—Mr. Hammond, a Surgeon, stated, that he had attended the deceased, and found her left thigh dreadfully bruised ; that alter reducing the swelling ' and inflammation, an abscess formed in the ancle.— After her • death he opened the body, and found the inside in a very unhealthy- state, and a large quantity of water in the covering of the heart, which was the cause of her death, but the bruise she bad received bad no connection with the internal disease. Ver dict—Died by the Visitation of Goo. An Inquest was.yesterday held at Hammersmith, on the body of A. Smith, four years of age, whose pirents (dealers in fish), went out and left her and two other children in a room, when her clothes caught fire, by which she was so much injured as to cause her death: Verdict—Accidental Death. One night last week, as 'Mr. Ness, a farmer or Butterwick, was returning home from the village of North Burton, in the East Riging of Yorkshire, his horse fell with him and broke his leg. •• He had the, ~resolution, however, to get a rail from a hedge, with which he made a kind of crutch, as a support, and turning his horse loose, it went hoile, which brought his servants to look for their master. whom they round 'yin* in the goad, wbeie he had been some tiours, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. ---.
