bid tried General 14liatutMes tali dowers tta art was competent. The Council of War, by * tnajcaity of its to two. dcclared its incompetcom, without assigtdag its r easons. On the general argument—it is chit first principle o f military law throughout Europe that a rider, no s wuer what his rank or title, who attempts to desert f ro m his colours, may instantly be shot by his con. p i nion. If he actually joins the enemy and is after. g ods taken; he must be brought before a Court. l onia', not for the purpose of having it decided w hether fighting against his Sovereign be treason, but so identify the person of the man who thus deserted In d a ft e rwards carried arms against his Sovereign— twausis the public law has every where declared that v otary man are triable fur military offences by mili. 'sr, tribunals. The public law on this point is so will known aver Europe, that in any country but Tracts it would be a punishable military misdemea. emir in lite members of any military tribunal to re. fuse to try a military man for a military offence.— The members of sash a Court having nothing to do with any other character that may attach to the en- banal than that of his being a soldier. lie may be s Doctor, a Priest, a Peer; but if he holds a military commission or receives a soldier's pay, he is a soldier. Evidence that the Wriest 4. B. or the Peer A. B. has been gui'ay of treason is not wanted to prove that the ' ,Adler A. B. deserted, betrayed, or fought against his King.—The ;Aker A. must be shot ; let the cas uists dispose of !As Peer in what manner they may think fit afterwards. But the members of else C. °art had stronger mo tives for their decision than any that were stated by Nat's Adeoeato. One of them, JOUEDAII. actually received a Peer age, first from the KING and afterwards from BONA FART& MAssen4 and Mourn:a in this respect were ?recistly in the same predicament.

The recent letter of the French Minister of Police, De Cum to the Prefecu, and which has given great offence to many loyal and bopourable minds, in con, $ risme of tie canape forbearance wisich it dictates to tbe factious, is the cosmposition of M• Lemonthey, A kind of Secretary to De Cates. Tliis Lemonthey was President of the French Legislative Assembly in 1791, and as such was the first ruffian in office who publicly insulted his 4overeigq, by appearing with his bat on before him.

He is attended by four respectable persons, who act alternately as watchmen to him, to call him up whets he goes to rest, and to mark the time and dis tance. He generally awakes of himself, however, before his attendant thinks it necessary to remind him of the time. He is extremely healthful, takes his meals regularly at his usual hours, and generallT eats heartily : he drinks but sparingly. So far from his constitution being in the least af fected by his arduntis and unremitting labour, he says he is now more at his ease than he has been for the last thirty years of his life. He is a native of Northamptonshire, but for the above long period he has followed the laborious business of a baker, in the metropolis, and has been uniformly distinguished by his employers for punctuality, sobriety, and atten tion. His brother tradesmen, who are of course best acquainted with the peculiar habits of those who follow their occupation, will bet almost any odds in favour of his gaining the match. On the othwhand, sporting men and gymnastic amateurs are is 4 e.. i cidedly of opinion that human nature is not capable of sopporting so much fatigue.—The latter chiefly i ground their unfavourable anticipation on the ex- 1 ? w hausted state in which • ptain Ilaapt.av found him self at the conclusion e is match. The engraving on w 1 which we have given at the head of this article, is a striking likeness of Mr. EATON. He is below the middle sir" hut ;loom oonly hardy in his appearance. ON the right is. the Hare and Billet public house, where he has fixed his head.quarters, and on the left is a sketch of the Heath. Mr. EATON experiences great attention from the landlord of the Hare and Billet, who spares no trouble or expense to make him perfectly comfortable. EATors always performs two miles without halting. He sets out, for instance, from the Hare and Billet precisely at a quarter before one o'clock daily, and finishes his two miles about a quarter atter that hour. His nest appearance is a quarter before three o'clock, and so on at every second hour during the Whole of the twenty-four. He is very punctual to time, and in this respect seems perfectly aware of the saying of Dr. Joitt.sox, that 4. the man who makes a match against time has an adversary to contend with who is not liable to any of the casualties of human rife:" TEIE 11,OCIIESTER Iy.DESTRIAN.

BRIGHTON, NOVEMBER 14. - The planish trading sloOp Julia, Timm ASON master, whiCh ran in hem on Monday morning, went to pieces last night, about pine o'clock; the cargo, consisting of wine and fruit, has been all preserved, and is but very little damaged. The crew, seven men and a black boy, two or three of whom cculd i-peak tole rable English, are well taken care of hare, having beep furnished with new clothes from head to foot, and ; subscription opened for their relief. Mrs. Me mo, of Bedford.sno ire, had the whole party enter tained at her house last night, and Om riot' telicArs appeared truly grateful for. the humane notice taken of them. The Vicar, the Rev. R. J.

SHEPPARD, &c. followed the worthy Divine's eaample. When the vessel ran ashore on Monday, the greater part of the crew, it is imagined, would have perished, but for'the fearleif intrepidity of opr fishermen, who enlinked their at ms together, so as to form an extended chain of seamen, and rescued them irons the' raging (billows, not ;in frequently at the most imminent ti,k of their own lives.

IaLrAfOW.P,I ARZ.I*W4rER. We bare long wished to give some account of tl4 progress of that great National Work the Break water at Plymouth, which, through the exertions mid . skill of Mr. WHIDaEY, has at length surmounted all the obstacles which ignorance or envy had opposed to its construction. Duri..g the year 1799, Mr. WHIDBEY Rare in a Plan to Lord SPESICER for a Br:takveater in Torbay ; and when Lord Howlett Wa; first Lard of the Ad miralty, that plan was taken into consider:di:la by Lord ST. VINCENT, who procur?d an os.der frnm Cie Admiralty to send Nit. RENNIC and 1.'4. tsVitior: , ..,. To Plymouth in 1816, to report if Cie said nan ei.o'd be executed in Plymouth fionr.d, secure an anchorage there. Alvsscs. C!;:tiV: r accordingly made their lttport to t::z I,oltnitaliy, dated 21st April, 1806, stating that a B - T-akeitt,Tr could be made in the Sound, with plaa f the anaorage; which able and most satis%:ctory Report was laid before the 1-iouse of Comm ns. and o:d:ired to he. ptinted Fehruaty 12 and 29, 1812 The work t!ius projected and recommended, is :1.1.3• c ittyos into cff'ct by IV..r. 0/4401ti rati,n whatever. The oriltr of the PriNce ReGi!NT iu ttr.ci!, giving directions for comniciseng this B icat N t• Wprk, was issued June 22, ISI I. During the first week in 181% they urn =aced, under the direct;on nF Mr. WlllOlE7r !rid l ing Wharfs, Docks, &c. fur ;hipping et( the Pk; hie s And collecting Cranes, 414 immense Quarries which are in the villare ul 0::14: n o ortthe southern side of the Ca:water. The first Stogie of this noble Pier was laid with every requisite ceremony on the PI:: CF. keueu Birth-day, -August 12, 1812: but the Frogress ut the wink did no; advance for sf me morn.., !laving rainy deposited, at the end of that year, 1f0,C45 tons. (1813)—On the 51st of March the firsi. m.i:s:s n. Marble came dry r,t low water, Spring Ti,!es ; aad at the end of that year, the quantity of Marble de posited,' amounted to 187,240 tons. (1814)—At the end of this year, 426,723 tens had been deposited. During the wintur . of this year. and 1815, many severe gales blew directly into the Sound, as violently al any that Lad been ever felt ; yet the Sound during that winter presented the en. usual sight of about 40 sail of ships remaining at anchor in it, all of whom rode out the gales with great ease, and without damage. The "(7.atwatet and its entrance were, awing the same critical sea soe, fed of shipping, atnounting to 150 sail ; yet, though the- Breakwater was net completed, scarcely any damage was done: and it was entirely owing to the small {Hart of the Breakwater which was made, that most of the ships both in the Sound anti in Catwater, were not lost. (1815)—On the PIZINCE Ariaix.vr's Biitli-dory in the present year, making three years since the first stone was laid, 615,057 tons of Marble had been deposited in blocks from half a ton to nine tons. • The extent of the Marble Quarries now open, is neatly half a mile, in which range they are working with the aid cf twenty-five Cranes. The S;E:ht is truly sublime, and reflects the highest honour on the Admiralty; and on the leheidual whose mind on conduct.so immense an undertaking, with so mtlcti economy and success. It has been visited and ad- Intied, tiorina the I.st summer, by some of the firs; Characters in the King&m.

At the end of last non t 5 ((Umber) ; when the writer of the present article left this StUpendous Scene, 1100 yards of the Breakw,ster remained dry at low water, and most (f it seas thy vt half Fifty yards cf it are finished three feet above Web water, Spring Tides, • The Breakwater stretches across the Shovel Rock ; the length of the whole, when linished,• • vi'ill be 170 U yards ; its base It/0 yards, and ten yards in breadth at the top, or finished part.

During the last month they had at Plymouth such heavy gales from the south-west as had not been known for 50 years, yet the Breakwater remained unmoved. It will cover a secure anchorage in the Sound for about 50 sail of the Line.
