ke put into execution at the beginning of the _summer. Milder measures of Government are announced, for Piedmont and Sardinia, and the publication of a general amnesty for all political crimes and misdemeanours, with a very few exceptions, is expected ; also various im provements on the internal administration, though there i s probably no foundation for a report which has been spread of the introduction of a representative constitu tion in the Sardinian dominions. NUREMBERG, APRIL 28. In the autumn 22,000 troops, will be encamped in oar neighbourhood. The reviews will begin on the sth of September, and continue 11• days. This forenoon we received Bermuda Papers to the 10th of April. One of them contains a long series of Resohnions passed by the House of Assembly in Lower Canada, ielative to the Revenue, the charges on which it is proposed to lessen by reducing the salaries of the Governor and other Public Officers. The u haling season has commenced favourably, and several have been taken off St. George's, Snmer;:et, and on the south-side of Devonshire; Mr. DAtits's boat has captured three this week. QUEBEC.—The ship-building business, in which little has been done in this port for some fears past, appears to have revived. This winter ten ve•sri', moAly of large classes, are on the stocks, in various stages of ad vancement, in the different dock-) ardr, and in the rivers Sr. Lawrence and St. C:arles. Letters from St. Domingo mention, that an agent hi , been sent to Fiance to urge the Government to recog nise the Indepen,.!ence of that Islar,d : and that a Com mittee hau been appointed by the French G .vernment to consider a commercial treaty which Ilitnce intends imposing to Hayti. In the absence of official ilitelli;4ence from Cape Coat, everything that !elates to the Ashantees t%;l1 Le read with interest—sti at least thinks the Editor of the Literary Chronicle, who, on this occasion, hos gone somewhat out of his usual path, to inset t the following. letter, which, though not of a recent date, contains many particulars wot th recor.iin 'the Edit,,r states it to be from a known Correspondent, on %%hose velocity he can rely. " Cape Coast Castic, Royal Gold Co:esr, I9th April, 1823. " We landed in Cape Coast on the feid of April, where we com menced duty wi:b the Royal African Light Infantry, widely dif ferent to that lounge parade to which the Guards are accustomed iv St. James's Park. I observed only eleven white men in the Loy.] Attilkry herr, and they looked to me as singularly as the three /,lock in the Duke of York's band, with the dress exceptions. The !loyal Artillery had been out fighting against the tyrant King of Ashantee ; the engagement was terminated by the loss of great Pt:piers en both sides. We expect this noted King, however, every day, to conic down from his encampment to fight us; need I eild, that we see prep./red to give him and his men a very warm receptior. The first serjeant whom the Ashantees killed belonged to the P.oyal African Corps ; they took his jaw-bone and presented it to the it liege as a token of triumph; and he desired as many more Si could be furnished to decorate his dwelling. The manner in which the Asbantees murder people, who fall into their power, xtreniely cruel: first, they cut off a finger, and ask you, if you see that ? and then take t. 31 one of your ears, and shew that to you ; I and then one of you? eyes,—and so on, till they have complately dissected your body. What a barbarous state must this zene be in, where the inhelinauts delight in the horrors of torture! 0 happy England ! inwhich civilization dwells and rules the actions of society. " The Ashatitees are naked, except a small !loth which they wear about their middle : the women are similarly dressed, only they have a hump in the lower part of their back, like the pummel of a saddle, on which they carry all their work and their infant children, who seem to skey as soundly and sweetly as on a bed of feathers : tbeywear great varieties of beads round their neck s,wrists,and and soot:: of then . ' have as much gold in their hair as would amount n £7O or 1.80 sterling. Those of the females who are looking for husbands, have about fifty small silver keys hung down before them. One man thinks it nothing to have twelve wives, who are all with hint, and equally desirous of gaining his pleasure ; indeed, I could not but remark their attachment to him, whose frown was terrible. I have been with the King of Cape. Coast; I drenk tea with him; he skewed me gre::t civility, and requested a repetition of my visit. Though nearly as rude as his subjects, yet he is a personable man, and conversive. Ile lives in a good house, has sr veral things in it which have been sent hint front England ;—he can read and write English, is fond of music, and dances admit - - 0)1y. The men :did women cut their hair in a grotesque fashhm— in fact, ;hey shavi it ; thus, every time it is shorn, it is done so strangely, that it assumes a different appearance and novelty, ac cording as their fancy changes. We shortly proceed to Sierra Leone, but I hea: a had account of it. There is a large seined at Cape Coast ; about eighty boys and girls attend it ; they go to church every Sunday, mid sing. "After service they all sln.ut, God save the King.'—Only four are left rut of the Regiment which came from the Isle of Wight. White ladies ate so scarce here, that I have seen only one of the fair sex sil•Ce toy arrival. I have a bird that sings French, and, what is mere remarkable, swears good round English: it is called a erown bird. The drum beats to duty—war is written on our foreheads—We conquer or fall.• Your's truly, W. W. F." "I'. S. I beer sent tins letter home by a vessel coming front the coast, laden with gold and ivory ; but there is not much gold to be got now we are at war with the Astrataces." _ _ • News has just arrived of the death of the unfortunate writer.

THE ARMY. • This morning --sow-- upwards of 400 of the First Battalion of the Cold streams, tie Second Regiment of the Guards, doing duty in the Tower, had a Field-day, in the Tenter-giound. Goodman's-fields, under the command of Colonel MACDONALD. We understand that it is Intended to remove his Masesev's 45th Regiment f Ceylon to the Continent of India. That Corps has now been stationed about six years in the above Island, where it has suffered very severely from the effects of the climate. Major-General Sir HOWARD nOIIOtA% Bart. leaves town imme diately for North America. As we before stated, this distinguished Officer, who was lately appointed Governor of New Brunswick, succeeds Sir JAMICi Kamter,pra tempore, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sir Jamas being shortly expected in England on leave of absence. Lieutenant-Colonel POWER, of the Royal Artillery, proceeds to Ballincollig, near Cork, to command that District; And Lieutenant- Colonel Batumi!, of the same Corps, is appointed to the command of the Royal Artillery Department at the Isle of Fraoce. Detachments of Recruits marched on Tuesday morning from the Recruiting Department, Westminster, for Chichester and the Isle of Wight. The 61st (South Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot has em barked at Plymouth, for Cork. The 34th Regiment are embarked on board the Success trans port, Dem PRITCHARD, and will proceed immediately to Dublin. The Yeomanry Troops under the respecti ve commands of the Earl of Macettsrietn, Wm. 11. ANDOILST, Esq. and CHAP. Pewits, Esq. have tendered their resignation, in consequence of a commu nication from their Commanding Officers that a considerable re duction in the Yeomanry force was expected, and that the measure would, in the first instance, be carried into effect by the dismissal of the independent Troops. SAILING OF THE DISCOVERY- SIIIPS. This morning being appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty, for the departure of the Heela and Fury from Deptford, on the . Voyage of Discovery, the Officers and crews of both ships mustered on hoard last night, but many of their friends came with them, and, could not be prevailed upon to &pia until the morning. The Comet, Government Steam Yacht, was nto.,red alongside the Ilecla at break of day, and it was then intimated that the Fury was not to sail until Sunday morning, the er'se vi the delay not being assigne d. The Ilecla was swung from the buoy at five o'clqck, and the crew were from that hour until seven, busily occupied set re• movieg their luggage, hammocks, ittc. from the transport, under t h e - directin, of the Superintendant of the 1) ea.yard. The river at ilti time presented a very interesting spectacle, numbers of boats of the ship, of war, Idled with Officers and seamen, were crowding around the tier where the liecia was moored, bidding fate.vecil to the crew, many of whom shed tears. A signal front the Dock yard announced ti,e arriv d of Captain l's any, who, with a party of Ladies and Gentlemen, immediately proceeded on board, and was received by his crew with cheers. The shores Were at rids time crowded with grouper of persons, who, when the signal was hoisted for getting under way, waved their handkerchiefs, and in a very sympathising manner, wished the hardy adventurers a safe return. First Lieutenant, 3lr. WYNN, having given the final orders, an alictittg scene ensued on the deck of the transport, several sailors at once rushed into the arms of some females who were in tears, and after snatching a le. sty and final embrace, rushed on board the Ueda, in a manner that many who have taken such farewells, can never forget. The Cornet then got under weigh with the Ueda in tow. The crew of the Griper, which is taking out the land ex pedition, under Captain Horreot, gave three cheers, which were answered by the c.ew of the ['vela. This incident Is peculiarly interesting, as these brave fellows will only again see each other in the arctic regions, should the expeditions survive and meet. The Ilecla was soon out of sight, she stops for a few days at Norafleet. As she sailed down, the groups on the shore ril , peatedly waved their handkerchiefs. PARI.7I.IN COSTUMES. HATS and Bosoms are made either of gros de Nelda, satin, Leg horn, or chip. Those of gras de Naples are by far the most preva lent, and are ofte:i ti immed with ribbons, ur other materials, urthe same colour, but of a different shade;' thus vert d'eou, or water green wi►h vcrt pre', or grass green, and lilac with opal. Ditesszs.-1 7 a,hion has irrevocably decided that blouses shall be worn this spring ; they differ fr those of last year, in having only three or four large plaits on each ride, descending from the shoul der, and fastened by the girdle ; the front and back are consequently quite plain. PELISSES have two collars cut in points, which have an edging of the same materials cut in small notches, to which they give the name of chicorge, or endive ; and a more correct idea of this trimming cannot be given. Pelisses thus trimmed are called ti In acige. Fi.owtas —Thos., for hats are lilac, Persian lilacs, double violets Japan roses, almond tree, and green wheat ears; fur head dress, a narrow wreath goes all round, having a large bunch on one side. frequently wreaths of roses without leaves are used. Cocouits.—Those most prevailing are pink, blue, lilac, and yel low, in a Variety of shades, to which various names are given ; thus pale lilac of a greyish hue is called opal, and bids fair to be a fa vourite colour. Primrose is also a treat favourite, and, although at variance with the season, browns of all shades, from the sombre Ourika (so called from its resemblance to the ,kiii of an African female, introduced in apiece of that name now being performed at Paris), to the sandal-wood brown, and from that again to the cou leur bois, or wood colour. NAVAL lA7 ELLIGENCE. Off Totbay, the Betsey, .1%P11.f., from %logadore. The Qum( CHARII.OITE, Captain NASH, was put nut of cmnis sion at Portsmouth on Monday last. The SERINGRPATANI has been ordered to be brought forward for being commissioned; Captain BranN has been spoken of as likely to command her. The JASTILR, Captain the Honourable G. It. NV. Taurus's, having undergone a refit at Portsmouth. has returned to Jersey, in order to afford protection to our oyster fisheries near that island. Admiral Sir Gamma Disarms flag was struck on board theVic "oat, at Portsmouth. on Saturday last, going upon leave ; Captain T. DONDAS, of the Butwaza, has in consequence hoisted a broad pendant un board his ship, during the absence of the Commakder , 7hief. the Bastuss: cutter sailed from Portsmouth on Saturday last for Sheerness; and the Amtow cutter, Lieutenant J. Powuar, on Mon day, on a cruise. Four frigates will be commissioned immediately; namely—the SERLNGAPATAM, at I'oll,4lloMb ; the &win, at Woolwich ; the DARTMOUTH, at Plymouth ; and the DIAMOND, at Chatham. Some line-of-battle ships are said to be bringing forward likewise, to be stationed at the different ports, in addition to the present number of guard-ships. The workmen on the F.Tsa bomb, in Chatham Yard, are em ployed ritra hours iii expediting that vessel for sea.

Yesterday considerable .curiosity WAS excited in Mae:friars road : two n:t-n, one vi.ry stout, and the other an extraordinary thin personage, wagered to run against each other from the Obelisk, near the Sutrcy Theatre, to the Obelisk in Bridge-street, op posite Fleet-market; but that the lank racer might be equal to his fleshy competitor, it was determined that he should carry a brewer's mash tub o❑ his head; and at the proposed time the parties started. At fr,t the fat one kept equal pace with his opponent, but he had nut run tar, when the man with the tub got ahead of his:, and continued so until lie arrived at the place of destination, 'when he received the wager. Glee b •ts.arc depending upon the rowing match from Oxford Whitelmili on Tuesday near, by six Gentlemen in a six oared eutter, Lord News.v is said to be one of the party.

Amongst the Nobility pre sent we observed the Duchess of Argyll and Ler lovely daughters, *the Duchess of Richmond, and the Ladies F. and A. Paget ; the Marquis and Marchioness ot Lon donderry ; the Countess of and the Ladies Coventry ; the Lord Chancellor and Lady Scott ; Lady Fullamore, Ecc• AFFAIR OF HONOUR-TENTII In consequence of certain expressions used by Mr. BATTIER, in his Lite ccrrepondence ielating to the treatment he had received at the hauds of the C-lonel and Officers of the 10th Hussars, a meeting took place yesterday in the neighbourhood of Chelsea, bet'.' een that Gentleman and the Marquis of LoNooNDEntty. M:. BATTIER WaS attended by Colonel -; Marquis of LosnoNßEnuy'S send was 11ENtry RIANGE, Bart. M. P. The pistols having be:!.l delivered, the parties took their ground ; and the word being given to fire, the Noble Mar Bois discharged his 1-.ist-1, but that of Mr. BA I'TIER mi,sed fire. The Marquis then, offered Mr. BATTIER one of his pistols, which the latter declined to accept, im consequence, it is supposed, of the Marquis having intentionally fired in a different direction from the place where Mr. BATTIER stood. The seconds now interfered, and the parties left the ground without reconciliation. THE STREET,SWEEPERS. ~-- BY JOHN MAYVE, AUTHOR OF THE PoENI OF " THE SILLER GUN," &C. Its Summer's heat, in Winter's squalls, And rain that freezes as it falls, Among the hapless sons of Care, Who claim our pity here and there, Behold that man, with shoeless feet, Who sweeps the crossings of the street — That man has once seen better days, But fell by Trade's precarious ways! Behold his fellow.lab'rer, too, Who lost an arm at Waterloo ! And, ah! no longer stout and trim, Yon sailor with the wooden limb, W ho, at the Fight of Trafalgar, Fought in great NELSON'S ship of war ! 0! never, with indirrence, then, Refuse a trifle to such men; Nor her, yon matron, sorely prest, Who sweeps, and weeps, and does her best; Unfit, in any other way, To earn a morsel for the day ! Reverse of Fortune, • old and poor, Has brought her to the Wcrk-house door; But rather, far, than enter there, She sweeps the streets in mute despalt ! How happy those to whom is giv'n A competence from gracious MAY'S ; But happier, still, if they dispense The gifts, aright, of PROVIDENCZ For mortals, as the text declares, May banquet Angels unawares ! DOIV-STREET- THIS DA V. YOUTHFUL Di:Pit A yury. Vise young females, the eldest not more than 20 years of age, and two of them si,ters, mere children, were brought up in custody for being disorderly at three o'clock this morning in St. Martin's court. Thr appearance of the wretched youngest girls excited the deepest sensation in the office ; and the worthy Magistrate ordered them to be detained, until their friends or parents could be sent for. The others were dit.chArged. An unfortunate man, who described himself to be the only son of Dugall Thompson, of St. Ann's, Jamaica, and entitled to very large property, applied for relief. He was almost in an state of nudity ; talked of cutting his throat ; said the Government had conspired against him when he was only seven years old, and went on in such a manner as to leave no doubt of the state of his mind. Mr. Mtosnucc directed him to have some food, and to be treated kindly, until he could do something for his relief. Thomas Jones, one of these fellows who form the clarity , gangs that infest the Theatres nightly for the purpose of plunder, was committed as a reputed thief, having been detected last night in the act of robbing a Gentleman, by Avis, the officer. The fellow is a well known thief, and one of the most expert of the gang. THE BI=:=1 LOAN. The Deputies from Brazil, have for the present, de clined entering into negociations respecting their loan. In the present uncertainty as to the views of France and Yot tugal on Di azil, we think they did tight to withdraw their scheme. The following is the copy of a letter which !Lis been addressed by the Brazilian Deputies, to a house with whom they were negnciatingatiew loan: BRAZILIAN LOAN. The following letter (apparently circular) has been sent to one of the Candidates for the lltazilian Loin : " York-street, Mty 7, 132 I. " Gentlemen—We have received your tend: r for the propoi.ed Brazilian Loan, but it appearing to tl6 that your's .incl :ill the other offers have been made wider an impression as to the state of Brazil which we know to be erroneous, we think it proper not to negotiate the Loan by tender, while the actual circumstances of the Brazilian Empire are so ill understood. " We feel obliged by the part you and the other candidates have taken, and shall faithfully pet form our promise not to communicate to any one the offers we have received ; and if at any future time we should feel it right to adopt the same course (we mean that of indi vidual tender) we shall not fail to inform you and tke other candi• dates, without preference or partiality. " We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your obedient and humble Servants, (Signet!) " BRANT, " GA:MEMO." A female with long dark hair was found in the Thames, opposite the Temple Garden, last evening ; she is sup- posed to be about 40 years of age, dressed in black, with black crape round her neck, and had only one bout on,which was not laced,froni all appearances the bully had been in the water many days. The following is an extract of a letter from Mi. WIIIT rut, master of the Ocean, arrived in the liver Tilatnes, on the 29th ult. from Honduras:— '+ On the 12th of March, when 'beving up the Cuba shore,. between the Hava;m4h and the Pan of Matanzas, at two a. an saw a schooner standing towards us, under our lee. Ikiag very suspi cious of her ws op helm, leq they should board us to leeward ; atter which she laid to windward, dodging us, waiting to take us by sur prise. I directly gave him two guns, shorted; came down under our stern; hiiled hint—the answer, he came fro.n the Ilavannah, but did not say where he was bound. I told him if he did not tack and stand from me I should immediately sink him, which he did; but, to my great surprise at daybreak, he was within gun-shot of our lee quarter. Fired at him again, and hot ted colour:, but he. shewed none ; ran out of gun-shot, and hove to, to view our mo tions and our force.
