mined ; above ,000 individuals in the greatest danger, Uecessity, and want ; and an innumerable quantity of 'cattle, large and small, swallowed up by the waver. Above 200 persons have lost their lives ; and this is but a part of the infinite misery which has desolated the parts of Hanover 'near the rivers and the sea, from Winsen on the Luke to the frontiers of the Netherlands, and above all, in East Friesland. According to all'acconnts, it seems certain that the flood here, on the morning of the 4tb i rose 21 feet, and even higher. • The Meeting of the National Congress of the Rio de la Plata, which we noticed yesterday, is an interest• ing occurrence, and will, no doubt, unite and consoli date the several provinces into one Federal Government : indeed, this is one of the conditions of the treaty be tween this country and Buenos Apes, and is alluded to in the Address of the local Government to the Congress.' " Great Britain," says this address, " released from compromises with the Allies, has adopted towards the States of America a noble conduct worthy of the most civilized, most free, and, on this account, the most powerful nation of Europe. The solemn recognition , of the independence of the new Republic will be a conse quence of the principles she has proclaimed. And you may believe, Senors, that this important event, as far as relates to the provinces of La Plata, depends chiefly on their sl:ewing themselves bound in .a national union, and with the capacity of maintaining the good institu tions they already possess." It appears that several of the Provinces have sen► Deputies to the Congress, but a few have not. Some of the provincial deputations are complete, others are imperfect. Some Deputies have even petitioned for leave to resign the honour conferredupon them by their fellow.citizens in their election. We have received the Alexi:cur of Tuesday, and the Dale of yesterday, by express; the latter does not con tain a word of news of interest; and the only official article in the Monitestr is a notice that Sieer Loins CHARLES DANIEL D'ETCHEGOYEN intends to apply for permission to add to his name that of O'Connell. Is this intended as a compliment to the Irish leader? • The debate on the Indemnity Law was continued in the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday. General Foit spoke at great length, and with considerable warmth, against the law, which, he said, had only for its object to throw the wealth of France into the hands of the emigrants, and to violate the laws of property, and the rights of individuals. Nine-tenths of the emigrants ; he said, bad voluntarily exiled themselves, and had no claim to indemnity. The General was frequently in. teri opted in the.course of his speech. M. de VILLELE defended the law, as just and neces sary, to 1 epair the wrungs the emigrants had suffered. He cohcluded by expressing his confidence, that the project w.,uld be adopted, and he and his colleagues wished to assist the Chamber in discussing the several articles, in order to render it as perfect and as easy of executi.in as posssible. M. DUPLESSIS GninAnax, after a speech which oc cupies nearly five columns of the Monitenr, concluded by stating, that the difficulty he telt in making himself under stood determined him to conclude. He was again. t the project in its present state. M. de SALABERY was in favour of the law, but his speech is not given in the Momiteur. Flutxcu xs nss. TOZIDAY —lO4 f. 7S e. 104 f. 90 e. 1041. 80 c.

Iloass GUMIDS, 220 JANUARY, 1821 At a General toqrt.llartial held at Up-Park Barracks, Ja maica, on the 24th ortie:ptember, 1824, and continued by adjourn ments to the 27th of the ,ante month, Lieutenant JAISIn MACIN TOSH, of the 92d Regiment, was arraigned upon the undermen tioned Charges, viz. " Ist. For affixing his signature, withopt due consideration, to a statement drawn up by Captain Warren, tending to falsify the testimony of Assistant-Sufgeon Thompson, given before a Court of Enquiry, held at Fort Augusta, on the 10th inst. to investigate the circumstances of an altercation between Cap tain Warren and Ensign Wilton; though, in a letter addressed to Major Charleroi), dated 15th instant, he states that, at the time he did so affix his signature, he did not recollect Doctor Thotnpson's evidence. "2d. For suppressing, when interrogated by the said Court of Enquiry, the statement contained in his letter of the 15th instant, wherein he says, he saw Captain Warren turn round and make a blow at Ensign Wilton, an his opinion with the in tention of striking him, such suppression being in direct dis- 1 obedience of the orders of Major Charieton, President of the said Court, directing, when the Officers of the 92d Regiment wcre asembled, that they should state, without reservation, every circumstance they had witness ed ; the whole of such conduct of Lieutenant Macintosh, in endeavouring to invali date a testimony he was ignorant of, and width:Ming most important evidence against Captain Warren, contrary to the lawful command• of his superior Officers, being a breach of the Articles of War, tending to subvert the discipline of the Corps, and to defeat the ends of justice." Upon which Charges the Court came to the following decision : " The Court having maturely and deliberately weighed the whole of the evidence adduced in support of the prosecution, as also what the prisoner has stated in his defence, and the evidence brought for ward in support thereof, is of opinion as follows: " With respect to the brat part of the Charge, viz. For affixing his signature, without due consideration, to a statement drawn up by Captain Varren, tending to falsify the testimony of Assistant- Surgeon Thompson, given before a Court of Enquiry held at Fort Augusta, on the 10th inst. to investigate the circumstance of an al tercation between Captain Warren and Ensign Wilton; though in. a letter addressed to Major Charleton, dated lath instant, he states, that, at the time he did so affix his signature, he did not recollect Dr. Thonmsoa's evidence—' The Court is of opinion that he, the pe st:user, Lieut. James Macintosh, is Guilty ; but that he might have been induced so to affix his signature, in consequence of Dr. Thomp son's evidence before the Court of Enquiry having been misrepre sented to him.' " With respect to the second Charge, viz • suppressing, when in - ' terrogated by the said Court of Enqu iry, the statement contained in his letter of the 13th instant, wherein he says he saw Captain Warren turn round and make a blew at Ensign Wilton, in his opi nion with the intention of striking him, such suppression bring in direct disobedience of the orders of Major Charleton, President.of the said Court, directing, when the Officers of the 92l Regiment were assembled, that they should state, without reservation s every circumstance they had witnessed; the whole of which coAduct of Lieutenant Macintosh, in endeavouring to invalidate a testimony he was ignorant of, and withholding most important etidence against Captain Warren, contrary to the lawful canines/Ws of his superior Officer, being in breach of the Articles of War, tending to subvert the discipline of the Corps and to defeat the entlibf justice The Court is of opinion that the prisoner,Lieutenam 11acottosli, is Guiky of the said second Charge.' " The Court having found - the prisoner . Guilty of both the Charges preferred against him, with the reservation mentioned fn the latter part of the hrst Charge,being in breach of the Articles of War, it does, by virtue thereof, sentence him, the prisoner, Lieute nant James Macintosh, of the 92d Regiment, to be removed from his Majesty's Service. "The Court cannot close its proceedings, without expressing the deep regret which it has felt in sentencing the prisoner, Lieutenant James Macintosh, to removal from his Majesty's service. The painful feelings which pervade the Court in passing - such a sentence, although the Charges of which Lieutenant Macintosh has been found guilty, eave no alternative, arise from the high and honourable character, as an Officer and as a Gentleman, which Lieutenant Macintosh has received from O'Steen of long service and experience, who have bad good opportunities of forming a just estimate of the valuable parts of character, and of knowing if any inherent un worthy traits existed. Th e Court is folly persuaded, that the con duct of Lieutenant Macintosh, previously to the unfortunate on currence which has been the cause of placing him in his present un happy situation, was such as to entitle him, in the most ample sense, to the handwrite and honourable testimony which those 01114;es have borne to his character. " The mild and very proper manner in which Lieutenant Macin tosh conducted his defence, was also such as to obtain the perfect approbation of the Court. " Under theft circumstances, the Court begs leave most humbly sad resipectfully, yet in the strongest manner, to recommend the prisoner Lieutenant Macintosh, as a proper object for his Ma jesty's clemency." His Maass2l has been pleased to approve and confirm the sentence of the Court;. but, under all the circumstances of the use, as they appear on the face of the proceedings, his Maasury has been graciously pleased to remit the sentence of removal from the service, as awarded by the Court, and to command that be Lieutenant htecnnoss, should be restored to the functions of his Commission. His Royal Highness the Comstatmen-no-Cnine, directs that the foregoing Charges, preferred against Lieutenant MacinTosn, together with the finding and sentence of the Court, and his MAJICITY'S pleasure thereon, shall be entered in the General Order Book, and read at the head of every Regiment in his Harem's service. By Command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chisf, (Signed) HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General. This morning, betwen one and two O'clock, a fire broke out in'the house of Mr. Comma, cheesemonger, No. 43, Lisson-street, Mary-la-bonne, which totally destroyed the same, and damaged the adjoining build ings ; but, in consequence of the early arrival of the en gines, the fire was prevented from spreading further.

It occupies twenty-four folio pages,bot the substance of the repOrt lies within a much narrower compasi. In the old and new gaols of Bedford, there has been no instance of bodily mischief or inconvenience from working at the I wheel, except in the case of one prisoner, who had Tani . eole veins of the leg previous to commitment, and who appearing to suffer some pain, was taken from the wheel. In Reading and Aylesbury gaols no injury had been felt ; but fir/tales are not employed on - the wheel at the former prison... At Cambtutge gaol there had been no instance of bodily mischief to the prisonersfrom the wheel. Mr. Pembetem, the Clerk of the Peace, in his letter, ex presses p regret that the Legislature has deenied it tie cessary to prohibit the employment of any prisoner on the tread-wheel previous to conviction, is there are no other means of finding employment in the gaol; and the gaoler represented the prisoners as more otderly when at the tread-wlwel,and desirous of being so em ployed, is order to entitle them to the increased allow. ante of diet which is made when so employed. The Surgeon thinks that, so far from the tread-mill being injurious, it has a contrary effect. At Wisbech no instance of bodily injury to persons occurred from the wheel; the same WAS the case at Knutsford House of Correction, in Cheshire; at Bcdmin gaol, Cornwall ; at the Ca-tle of Exeter, at the gaols of Dorchester, Durham, Chelmsford, Hedinham Castle, Essex, Gloucester Penitentiary, tiprsles House of Cor rection, Newport gaol, in the Isle of Wight, and Hert ford gaol. The Surgeons to Huntingdon gaol emphatically say, "in no one instance do we know of the Tread Mill being injurious to any one." The returns from the following places also declare that no prisoner has suffered bodily mischief or inconve nience from the Tread Mill, at the respective gaols, namely, kitkdale House of Correction, in Lancashire; Salford gaol, Leicester House of Correction, Louth gadl, Lincolnshire; Boston gaol, Cold Bathfields prison, Bridewell Hospital, London; Wymondham Bridewell, and Walsingham gaol, Norfolk; Newcastle-upon-Tyne gaol, Wilton House of Correction, Stafford County prison ; Bury, Ipswich, and Beccles gaols, in Suffolk ; Brixton House of Correction, Guildford gaol, Warwick and Devizes prisons, Northallerton House of Correction, Beverley gaol, York - House of Correction ; the prisons of Havel ford west,Brecknock, and Carnarvon, inWales. In the whole of these prison;, no bodily mischief or inconvenience is stated to have been sustained by any prisoner at the tread-wheel ; and in many instances it is said to have been, on the contrary, actually conducive to health. _ _ _ _ The Magistrates of Louth say, " The general health of the prisoners so labouring is improved; and the cases t iof sickness or disease in the gaul are materially dinnnrshed since the introduction of this employment." Thee Clerk of Bridewell Hospital says, " the general health of the prisoners appears to be rather improved than injine.l by the tread-wheel ;" while At Swaffham, "'tine prisoner, who..-liad been lately t!ischarged, after having %yolked two years on the wheel, had thriven so well, that he could not wear the clothes he brought in with him ;" and the gaoler declares, " that the prisoners generally go out in a better condition than they were when first put on the wheel." The Mayor of Newcastle-upon-Tyne states, since the erection of a tread-wheel in the prison of that town, " the prisoners who have laboured thereon, have, by the exercise, been improved in their bodily health." In the gaols of Bury, Sevenoaks, Beverley, and York, the tread-wheel has also been found rather conducive than injurious to the health of the prisoners. In a few instances, there have been some accidents, though not of a serious nature. In the prison at Seven oaks, tivo gudgeons, not made of the specified size, broke, by which the prisoners were twice thrown off the wheel, but none of them were injured so as to require a surgeon. At Nottingham House' of Correction, a man, not on the wheel, incautiously putting out his foot against the wheel, had it slightly injured by one of the boards. At Lewes gaol, owing to the failure of some of the machinery, a prisoner received a slight in jury; and in Edinburgh Bridewell, a boy had his ancle dislocated, occasioned " by his own carelessness, while sitting near the tread-wheel, during the interval of rest, and while he was not working upon it." At Winchester gaol, where a hundred men and twelve women were daily employed at the Tread-m there were only three cases of sickness; the first was a case of a prisoner in a consumption, and not " any way connected with his working on the wheel;" in the third case it was difficult to ascertain whether the mill did any injury ; and in the second, the Surgeon supposes that the tread-mill, like any other exertion, might affect the prisoner, on account of the peculiarly irritable state of the habit. In Lancaster gaol a prisoner is also supposed to have suffered from the labour, and the seduced diet ; the prisoners, however, stated, that if they had their ac customed quantity of food, they should consider the tread-wheel as much easier than their own employ merit, as labourers at the canal. Thus far, it will be seen, all the evidence is in favour of the Tre ad-wheel ; the only two exceptions are the reports from the House of Correction at Winchester, and that at Shepton-Mallet, in Somerset. In the first of these the Magistrates say, that—" Notwithstanding the few hours to which the employment of each priso ner has been limited, the sudden check to intense per " ."•• • • •-• ••? •10 •ro 3 I is amongst vagrants, refr s actor! ttntioandry servantt, bn4 sTill offences but we can hiire no fiesititign giVin.g it as opinio n ; that,it nrit ' 4.

They found their fox la Mr. Andrews's-Covert, adjoining &outing Rough, whence he ran to Miley, Sibton. Lyminge, End Pestling wood ; down the hill, over Horton Park through the wood to Bra- bourne Park, where he was killed, after as brilliant a thing of fifty minutes as ever was seep with hounds. Mr. Feilowes's bounds have lately been well 4104 ed, and have afforded most excellent sport. On Tuesday, the Stb, they found at Bycott Brake, and killed in good style, after a capital run. On Thursday, they drew the Home Covers, and killed t*l) foxes. This was the severest run they have had this season ; it was dark when they ran into the second fox. On Saturday, they rand at Landen, and after a long run (the Litter part of which was very quick). the fox with difficulty reached LaylandWood. from whence four fresh foxes were immediately started, and the hounds divided upon two, one of which they had nearly run up before they could be stopped. Two couples of hounds, however, stuck to the first fox, and killed him about a quarter of a mile from the wood. On Tuesday, they drew Layland Wood, found very quickly, after twining the long range of covers for some time, and drove a fox to earth, which was dug out and killed. ASSURANCE COMPANIES. SNARL PAID.
