The fact, I believe, is pretty well known, that at an early period of the Freuch Revolution a Decree was passed by the Convention, ordaining, that the whole papers of the Scots and other Colleges of Douay should be applied to the purpose of making ball car tridges, and that this ruthless' order was publicly un derstood to have been executed to the very letter. On the restoration of Louis, the Rev. Mr. FAR. QUIIARSON, now deceased, who formerly presided overtite Scots College at Douay, but who had emi grated during the reign of terror, naturally desirous of ascertaining how far this act of barbwian folly had been actually carried into effect, paid a visit to his old establishment, in which I had the pleasure of accompanying him. The Reverend Gentleman, on that occasion, made the strictest search through the whole of the College, and every possible inquiry among the inhabitants of its vicinity, and found, to his sorrow, that the general report, as to the unspar ing fury of the Revolutionists, was but too well foun ded. One article alone had escaped their fangs. It was an original picture of MARY Queen of Scots, which had been left by her Majesty to the College, when on the eve of her decapitation. A lady con- nected with the College had contrived to secrete it in a chimney, where it remained till the return of roy alty to France made it no longer dangerous to bring forth to public view this relic of a beautiful and much injured Queen. The picture has been since splendidly framed, and has been transferred to the Scots College at Paris, where it may now be seen. As I have sta ted, this picture was the only part of the valuables left in the College, which Mr. FARCICITARSON could discover had survived the wreck of its fortunes, nor could he find a single written document or fragment of any kitid. Although these circumstances are rather conclusive against the probability of any such literary treasure having been found, by Mr. Watson at the College of Douay, as a perfect M.S. of the Poems of Ossian, I owe it to the cause of truth to state, that I have re peatedly heard Mr. Farquharson say, that there actually was in the repositories of the College a very old MS. copy of these Poems, down to the time when he was forced to s'y from Douay to save his life, leaving the whole of the college records, MSS. books, and other propesty at the mercy of the convect tionalists. _ _ _ It is still a possible case, therefore, that the MS.' now alluded to may, through the discriminating ten derness of some of the individuals entrusted with the execution of the Edict of the Convention, have been saved from the common ruin ; and, should this really prove to be the case, upon that explanation which the public may reasonably expect to receive from Mr. 'WarsoN. none will be more sincerely giatified than, Mr. Editor, your constant Reader, A CALEDONIAN.

The latest accounts from Constantinople which can be depended on, are of the .25th of August.— The mutiny of the Janissaries had not only not been appeased by the measures that were adopted, but it rose to the highest pitch. A tire, originating with the Janissaries, has not only destroyed the Palaces of all those persons whose discharge they had deman ded, but also some thousands of houses which were in the neighbourhood of those palaces. The Sultan, who repaired in person to the spot, was not able to compel the workmen to assist an extinguishing the flames ; and the discontent rose so high, that he him self had the greatest difficulty to reach his Palaces and save himself. The new Prussian Ambassador, Count Von Scbla• den, was expected to arrive at Constantinople on the 26th of August. Raslier accounts from, Constantinople say-4 , The fast of Ramadan, and the festival of Beiram, were over. The only change in the Ministry consisted in the nomination of the former Reis Effendi, Seyda, to be Intendant of the Marine ; and it is generally believed in Constantinople that he will soon be again Reis Effendi. The meeting of the Janissaries had led to the deposition of their Aga, and the nomina tion of his Lieutenant in his room. On the 9th of August there was a Great Council of State called, in which the Sultan designed to determine upon two Points. The first was, the answer to be given to the Russian Minister, Baron Strogonoff, in reply to his last Memorial. The other was, the answer of the Notes which have been presented to the Turkish Mi nistry by the Ambassadors of the Catholic Courts at Constantinople, concerning the molestation of the Catholics at Jerusalem and Aleppo. It is particu larly remarkable, that the English Ambassador has presented a similar Note on the same subject:" GHENT, OCTOBER. 12.

ALE-LA CHAPELLE, OCTOBER 12. PRIVATE LETTER. " Tlie days for the grind reviews of the Army of Occupation are not yet fixed, but that they will take place before the '2oth inst. is still generally believed by the best informed people. It is now said all the troops will be collected into one place, and re viewed together. The Allied Sovereigns will attend, accompanied by most of the persons in their snites now at Aix-la-Chapelle. One season why the time is not yet fixed may be the late indisposition of the Emperor Alexander; and another, more probable still, the delay that must occur in determining on the arrangements for the surrender of the furtres:.es, and the routes by which the different contingents are to retire home. The Emperor is now qui:e recovered from his illness, and yesterday attended divine service in his chapel. His disorder, arising, it is suppo:ed, from drinking the waters of this place, yielded to simple remedies, his mode of life being such as seldom to require remedies of any kind. His intention of vim siting his sister at Spa is again resumed, and he will probably go thither to-day or to-morrow. He has Leen riding about this morning for his recreation. He will therefore be able to proceed to the grand review, ns soon as the preparatory arrangements are concluded. " Yesterday the King of Prussia,• accompanied by his son, the Prince of Mecklenburg, and all the Pols sian staff, attended divine service at the Protetant church, in the morning at eight o'clock. His Ma jesty afterwards' reviewed, between ten and eleven o'clock, the troops in garrison here, accompanied by the same officers. The inspection took place without the city, near the gate of St. Adalbeit, and was at tended by a great -:cncourt of tile natives. Some to. : reigners also were present, and antofig the rest Ge neral' Alaison, whose expression of countenance as seeing the cannon taken of Waterloo paraded in a Prussian review, may be More easily conceived described. At half-past four o'clock the Kira ho noured with his presence the Princerdioff, (a large court-yard), from which Madame Reichard made her ascent in a balloon. All the city flecked to see this spectacle, which was quite new to the people of Aix la-Chapelle. The King conversed with the aeronaut some minutes before the fastenings of the balloon were cut—she displayed the utmost courage in making the preparationsfor so dangerous an experiment, and en tered the basket with the greatest composure and some grace. Immediately on its leaving the court, she scattered flowers on the spectators, and waved her flag as she ascended. Her motions were answered by a corresponding shout. The balloon took the di ,rection of the north-east towards Louisberg. It was soon out of sight : the evening was cloudy, and no thing was heard of the Lady till this morning, when we were informed that she alighted in safety in a garden about 15 miles on the road to Cologne. The Duke of Wellington attended the Theatre in the evening, when the opera of Don .John was performed: none of the Sove:citi.ns were present. The perform ance was below criti cism.` The Grand Duke Michael arrived here this morning from England: the King of Prussia paid him a visit two hours afterwai ds: The John transport Lieutenant PRITC crARD _ 3 .gent, arrived lately at Portsmouth from Columbo, the Cape of Good Hope, and St. Helena. Elie took rive companies of the Royal African Corps fiom Sierra Leone to the Cape ; and the 83d Regiment from the Cape to Ceylon, intending to Lring home the 19th Regiment of Foos, War breaking out with the Can dians prevented their return. The Magicienne was the Mauritius; the Towey, in the Gtilf of Porsia ; the Conway was shortly to relieve_ the latter. The John left St. Helena on the rth August, when Po- NAPARTE remained in statu quo. An elderly man, named . Charles Byron, was on Wednesday night, found by Hownrth, the beadle of 'Waterloo Bridge, sleeping under one of the arch-s which support the road on' the Surrey side. His ap pearance was that of an old soldier, and he stated that he had been seventeen years in the military ser vice of the East India Company; had applied for pension or some recompense for Isis services, but had obtained no satisfactory reply to his claims. • He was nearly perishing from want, and for the last sixteen nights had reposed under the arch where he was found, not having the means to procure a lodging,— lie was taken before a Surrey Magistrate, w hy pre sented hint with a sum of money to relieve his imme6 diate wants, and recommended him to renew hit a l plit mien to tlae-Eat India Company. ~f.%~A
