Sir Edward Paget is pleased to announce to the Army of this p ri mileney the following act of grace, which he has thought the present a fit moment for carrying into effect. D m deep sense of abhorrence and indignation which, his Ex cellency is assured, has been Mt and expressed throughout the na ti„ a rmy, at the mutinous proceedings which occurred at Bar. rg bpore on the Ist of November last, has impressed the mind of t h e commander in.Chiof with the satisfactory conviction, that the wo es and abettors in those disgraceful proceedings stood entirely June, and unsupported in their disloyalty. Satisfied, therefore, that the ends of justice have been attained ; that the rules of discipline and subordinatiOn, so shamefully vio lated on that occasion, have been amply vindicated ; and that the devotion and attachment of the native army stand unimpeached, his Excellency is persuaded that the present occasion affords him the gratifying opportunity, without committing the interests and discipline of the Army to the slightest risk, of extending an act of grace in favour of those unhappy men, who, having been appre hended, tried, and condemned to 'pay the forfeiture of their lives tot their guilty participation in the late mutiny, were consigned, through motives of clemency, to the mitigated punishment of la bour on the roads for certain terms of years. To these individuals the Commander-in-Chief, with the concur rence of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council, hereby proclaims a free pardon, in consideratirm of the merits and services of the army in Arracan and Asiam. With this act of grace, his Eakellency trusts he may never have occasion to recal to his own, or the public recollection, the occur 70:ces which it has been Isis isaidul duty to advert to in the fore pang remarks ; and, in order that every trace of them may be ob -I:tvrated, his Excellency is pleased to direct, that the body of Din dab Te wary, sepoy, who was sentenced to be bung in chains near the spot where the mutiny took place, may be removed. ItENIARKSON TACTICS, AND MILITARY EDUCATION IN ENGLAND. The wars in which Great Britain has been often in Ived with continental enemies, in the course of the last century, afford abundant proof that a Standing Army is necessary to her security during peace ; and that it furnishes the only means by which she can cope with Scantling Armies in a foreign soil, during war. This fact being admitted, for, in truth no other kind of Army can be depended upon, it is of prinrtry import ance that such a system of Military discipline, com prehending an accurate knowledge of -die art of war, bath in theory and practice, should be introduced and constantly kept up in the Army, as shall insure the good order of all its constituent patts, and give efficiency to its operations. Secured by, her insular situation,' and protected by her naval bulwarks, from those invasions to which contiguous nations, only sera need by a nominal boundary, are more readily•exposed; and, from the same cause, not so likely to be .em broiled in continental wars, Great Britain, on this ac count, was contented with an Army, which, in point -of numerical force, was !mall in comparison with those of the Continent, and consequently only held in propor fume estimation as a Military Power. On the breaking out of a war, therefore, it always bourne necessary to augment her at mies from the militia, and by new levies, which, when brought into actual service, were generally found more or less in' "fictive, undisciplined, or they soon were rendered unfit for the campaign by diseases to which raw troops are more particularly liable. As a great proportion of the Officers also, would be found inexperienced for set me, and deficient in the necessary qualifications for military operations, it would not excite surprise, if the result of a campaign, whose operations wete dependent upon such an Army, were marked with disappdintment and discomfiture. The disadvantages under Which the Army suffered in this respect, are in some degree attri butable to the want of facilities for obtaining military education in this country; and it is not a little remark able, that no uniform system of tactics was introduced, nor generally enforced by authority till the year 1791, when it was done through the exertions of the late General Sir David Dundas. That excellent Officer, who hard, by personal obser vation, and unwearied attention, • made himself thoroughly acquainted with the most improved tactics of Prussia, was the first, who; 'under the sanction of the Commander in Chief, rendered this signal service to the British Army, and he lived long enough to see it universally adopted. Some amendments, it is true, have been made at various times in his system ; priack Pally in points calculated to facilitate and give in creased celerity to some of „the movements and forma tins, especially in the judicious alteration lately intro duced by , the present Adjutant• General.. In respect to the means of attaining a general Military Education, however, that is to say. a seminary to teach the duties of the Army Officer, and to instruct him in the art of ear, there was tiothing provided in England until the institution of the Royal Military College, in 1799 or 1800. The first object in view at that period *as the sstabii.hment of a Royal School for the instruction of Army Officers iii every branch of military science, and in the French and German languages. In 1802, a separate branch, or College, was also opened for the re ception and education of young Gentlemen for the Army in general, founded upon a plan similar to that of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich ; and placed tinder the governance and direction of able and indefa tigable Officers, and Masters in every branch of in inaction, subservient to military education. Since the foandation of that Institution, a new ars may be said to have commenced in the range of scientific acquire. ments of the Army Officer. The masterly tactics of Wellington, during the Peninsular war, owe no small Portion of their excellence to the science of some Officers of his Lordship's Staff, who studied at that C . ollege. There is now, in fact, scarcely a Regiment . 11 the Army, which does not possess some Dicers from this military school, who, to previous military habits And associations, add more or less knowledge of tactics, /ftl ification, mathematics, military and landscape drawing, surveying, and languages. The office of the Quartermaster-General teems with able and accurate plans, and military surveys of countries, and stations, sent from almost every part of the country, and of the known world, executed by some of those Officers; and furnishing the undoubted evidences of their zeal and proficiency in those respects. This was not the case in the Army before. Such acquirements are not ideal, they are solid and useful : during war, they are inei thnable. Nor are these the sole advantages which edit- St these schools Confers upon the Army. The outh whd ire educated there, tieing inured tii the early practice of arms and athletic exercises, and de riving likewise the advantages of regular and salutary habits of life, become fortified in health, strength, and constitution, and atquire a tone and robustness better suited to encounter the vicissitudes and hardships of military service, than young men who enter the Army under circumstances less favourable in these respects. From all the above considerations we are warranted in our conclusion, that our Army is more efficient, that science is more ardently sought after, and generally diffused amongst the great body of our Officer); while the discipline and good order of the soldiers are better preserved, and preserved by milder and more judicious modes of punishment, than was the case in our Army formerly ; that is to say, at the commencement of the last war ; in short, that a British Army, under the aus pices of the present Commander in Chief, never per haps attained so high a pitch of knowledge, experience, and discipline, as exists at the present time. LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Novssmaa 4. DOUCHE V. PETERS. Mr. HORNE applied for an injunction to restrain the defendants from effecting a transfer of money in the hands of the Accountant General and in the Bank, ac cording to an order of course obtained for that purpose. In the year 1770, one Nicholas Jacquinet came over to England, and lived under the assumed name of John Pourtois. He acquired, by his application to business, a very large fortune, amounting, in fact, to hundreds of thousands of pounds. He lived to an extreme old age, and died in 1818. In the year 1801, being then 72 years of age, one Anne Peters, a scullion, discharged from some great family, was introduced to him. He took lodgings for her, and cohabited with her. She bore him three children, and put them upon him as the father, though it was now in proof that she was preg nant wi;h one of them at the time of his first seeing her. The deceased had three illegitimate children before his connection ss ith her. He made a will, disposing of the bulk of his immense property in favour of his children. Afterwards, thinking that the security of the will was too loose, the parties induced him to effect a deed of gift. On the suggestion of one Giles, an attorney, of Shire-lane (as it is stated in the pleadings), Anne Peters persuaded him to make a will entirely in favour of her children, to the exclusion of his first offspring. The ' executors named were all men of respectability. and nothing improper was attributed to them. Anne Peters becoming apprehensive that the circumstances under which this will was obtained, the testator being by this time, as would be clear from the evidence, . decidedly of unsound mind, by the advice of the same attorney, she then obtained a transfer to her children of the greater portion of the funded property. The first draught of this last instrument (the paper wss handed up to the Court) contained these words—s , In the event of the aforesaid will being disputed." It was conjectured that the words were too well calculated to raise suspicion of themselves ; they were struck• not, and did not appear in the deed. It would be shewn by the evidence, that he was at the time totally ignorant of the effect of what he wai signing, and incapable of understanding it. Until the age of 67 the conduct of the testator was known to have been unex ceptionable. He then altered his conduct, and began ft:career of utter depravity. He addicted himself to the lowest vices, and kept the worst possible company. He frequented an infamous house in Gray's-inn-lane, kept by a woman named Trippeau, with whom he inhabited ; she and a woman called Brown acquired [great influence over him ; they were anxious to get some . f 'his property ; they tut him in a chair, bound him, held a knife over him, and threatened him with death if be did not comply with their demands. He signed a note of hand for a considerable sum, and escaped out of the house with difficulty; the women were tried for the offence at the Old Bailey, and found guilty. He afterwards took Brown into regular keeping in the house of a respectable man at the west end of the town. Trippeau there introduced, to him Ann Peters as a companion for Brown, who was soon discarded to make way fur her. It appeared in the evidence that the conduct of the group became outrageously wicked and indecent ; three or four prostitutes would be brought into the house at a time, without any observance of the differ ence between day and night. The landlord, finding them to be quite intolerable, got them out; and they took apartments in a house in Si. Martin's-street . , Leicester square. The inmates of this house had deposed'that be was in their conviction of unfound Mind. That evidence was corroborated by the testimony of his. three eldest children, who were provided for in the will by moderate legacies. The funded property was already its Co urt, but being,appropriated ' in thirds to the progeny of Anne Peters, an order had been obtained for tranfer ring the portions to the names of two of them, daugh ters, who had attained the age of twenty-one. Thepre sent motion was for an injunction to stay them from proceeding on that order until all the. causes were beard. Proceedings had been instituted in the Ecclesias tical Court to set aside the will on the ground of in sanity. The plaintiff appeared to claim the property on behalf of himself and the kindred of the testator. He had accordingly taken out administration. The reason why this application had not been made sooner was, that one Cabal, who was next -of kin and the proper claimant at the death of the testator., bad died within the last fifteen months. He expired in extreme want of the necessaries of life, and it was proved . that be had , declared at the time of his decease that Pourtois was of unsound mind, and that he would, if be were able, in stitate proceedings to recover the property. The present plaintiff had come over here in 1798 as secretary to a commission for an exchange of prisoners, and had con tinued to reside here ever since. Claud Riaudean, and other parties, for whose Interests he appeared in common with his own, were persons residing abroad, with whom he bad to consult, otherwise the application to the Court would have been more prompt. The Loan Csassmcou directed that the order should Isere. The parties. however were to be served with the whims* as soon as possible, and notic e should be gives to them, that they might come lute Court, and be beard as speedily as they thought COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, Nov. 4. JANE STODDART . V. SANDERSON AND OVUM This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was a servant, .to recover from the defendants, who are the proprietors of a stage-coach running between Brighton and London, compensation in damages, for an injury sustained by her, in consequence of the coach having been overturned in a journey from London to Brighton. It appeared 'that the plaintiff WAS a lady's maid, in the service of Mr. Peyton, and followed the family to Brighton in September last, outside the defendant's , conch, which, from the restiveness of the horses, or P unskilful *stinking of theii Was WA nit d bank At, Cuck6eld, and the whole of the passengers thrown off. Plaintiff's elbow was dislocatkd, and she had lost the use of het arm. The Loan CHIRP Jusuca, in summing up, said, that if the Jury should be of opinion that the defendants had. employed in working the coaChan unruly or im proper horse, or a negligent or unskilful coachman, when this accident occurred, then their verdict must be for the pl4intiff. The Jury retired at bar-past two o'clock, and returned at half past four a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 4001. SAUL V. THORNTON: This was an action to recover damages for an injury sustained under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff occupied a house belonging to the defendant, at Limehouse Causeway. In consequence of a desire to turn the plaintiff out of possession, the defendant sent men who unroofed :he house. and turned the plain tiff, his wife, and children into the street. The Jury returned a verdiet v -1001. damages. SHERIFFS' COURT, Nue. 4. GRIN. CON.--COULD V. TANNER. - This was a Writ of Inquiry before the Sheriff of Middlesex, to tax and assess the daMages in an action of Crim. Con. brought by the plaintiff against the de. fendant, who had suffered judgment to go by default. —Damages 5,0001. Mr. BROUGHAM said, the Jury were now to assess damages for an injury the greatest which one man could inflict on another. The Gentlemen of the Jury had frequently heard the arguments usually adduced on such occasions, and must expect a repetition.—They were now called on to repair, as far as they could, the griev. ous injury sustained by the plaintiff, and were to give, not merely compensation for what his feelings endured, but a vindication to his character, which would be de graded in society if he got but trifling damages. The plaintiff, a Lieutenant Gould, was of respectable rank in the Navy, with a fortune not very large, but adequate to that of many a gallant men. He married from af fection. H, r father was a Clergyman, son of one of the greatest ornaments of English literature, the Rev. Mr. Wharton. Defendant was the soo of a respectable Stk licitor at Salisbury, and was first cousin to the - Lady seduced, which was a circumstance of material aggrs. ration. The Learned Gentleman, after several ingeni ous observations, concluded by again hoping that the Jury would give such damages as would prove a warn ing to society, a compensation to plaintiff, and vindica tion to his character. The Learned Gentleman then called the following witnesses:— William Gould—Plaintiff is his son, and a Lieute nant in the Navy on half-pay. He was married to Mrs. Gould in February, 1821 ' • he had several opportunities of seeing that they lived happily together until the pie sent affair happened, about four months ago; he knew Mr. Tanner, first-cousin to Mrs. Gould; fainflies were on visiting terms. Cross.ezi - mined by Mr. C. ox Seasurr--Kept an Inn twenty eight years ago ; since a farmer and a miller • believed his daughter in-law was twenty-four years old ; her halm* perhaps twenty eight ; witness did not like the match, u Mrs. Wharton seemed' too gay; consented when his son was obstinate; supposed all Mr. Wharton's debts were paid; did not hear Miss Wharton was averse to the match, or was previously attached; never knew a couple more happy. Mr. P. Brown, Purser in the Navy, on visiting terms with plain dß' and wile • always thought them happy. Elizibeih Drew—Was servant to plaintiff at Salis bury ; Tanners and Goulds visited ; thought the Goulds liired happily ; took .: letters front Mrs. Gistild to Mr. Tanner ; gave them sometimes in presence of his ser vants ; saw letters from Mr. Tanner to Mra. Gould ; saw her Mistress and Mr. Tanner together at different places; heard them kiss; often more than an hour to gether in a back passage (did not say in what house): Thomas Shergeld—Wad servant to Mr. Tanner's father. Witness proved the several letters to be in Mr. Tanner's band-writing. Cross•namined—Mr. Tanner's father was twice Mayor of SalisbUry, The klowing letters were then put in and read : The first letter was directed to Mrs. William Gould, Blenheim, but without date • it begins " My dearest Charlotte ; " but was otherwise Immater ial, except the postscript : "Duo Comm ons—l have written you several letters with lemon juice, but you have only answered them by a fornial note.

The postscript w.a as follows Since writing the above, I find your mother here ; she told us you had come to the door, and had been walking with your hus band: I wish its may Noss mu secs.

Jury for the defendant; and in.a most ingenious speech contended that his client, instead of being the seducer, was the - person seduced.. No Lady had been celled, to speak to the terms on which the parties lived ; no .evideace was given as to the Lady's age—and. in the absence of evi dence on that point. he had a right to presume that she was older, and more experienced than the defendant. It was clear that she had deceived both the defendant and her husband at the same time; and therefore the plain tiff could have sustained no great,injiiy in the lots of a woman capable of so acting, in a single year after her marriage. This was not, a case which called for heavy dam sges. . Here was no.proof ts( long•practibed arts of seduction, and breach of friendship.. The 'parties had been mutually atta .hed before the Lady's matriage with the plaintiff; and, under all the 'circumstances of the case, he (the plaintiff) had aright to calinhite upon the consequences of such a union.'
