The misfortune of Dzs HAYES, while k excites un qualified indignation against the Tyrant of France, will also be an example to certain other foreigners, who may now be convinced that the enormous for tunes acquired by British liberality are best secured by the British Constitution. DES HAYES was famed for his acting in Military Ballet:. He will now be able to discover the wide difference between Hi:trio:sic° et Militomachia The following Letter from an Officer on board the SCILLA, dated Oct. 22, communicates some interest ig details of the circumstances which preceded the capture of the Weser : .." Last Sunday night, cruizing in lat. 49. 10. long. 9.33. at eleven o'clock at night, we saw a large ship' steering to the S.E. We bore up and ran alongside, and hailed her two or three times ; the answer we received was a broadside from 26 pieces of cannon, which only did us mischief in the sails and rigging : I they then attempted to run on board us, but we were 1 lon quick for them, got our fore and main tacks on t board, from a-head of them. Supposing them to be a large Spaniard or Portuguese Brazilman, we pre pared to engage her at daylight; but judge of our consternation when we found her to be a fine French! frigate, of the largest class, with guns on the gang way (a 1' Americaine), and full of men : we were glad , to haul out of the reach of her battering train, which ' we were enabled to do in a very short time, she hav ing, two days before, lost her main and mizen masts, and had jury ones rigged instead, so that she could not exceed seven knots an hour ; we therefore deter mined to keep her company until we fell in with something that could assist us to capture her. We foun.d great difficulty in keeping sight, and yet out of the reach of her guns—the nights being very dark and stormy; but we effected it until yesterday morn it.g, Ushant bearing E.S.E. 60 miles, we saw the ROYALIST, which joined us at two p. sf. ; and at half past three we closed on the enemy, and commenced action within mttsket-shot—the SCYLLA under his stern, and the ROYALIST on the bow. We kept up a quick fire of round and grape shot for one hour and .a ,alf, which was returned with great precision when th:y could bring their ,guns to bear. At five, we ware both of us so much cut up in our rigging that we were almost unmanageable, and glad to haul off i repair our damages, the enemy not being able to t How us. At half past• fi ve, we were ready again for action ; but a large ship coming in sight to lee ward, the ROYALIST was sent to reconnoitre, whilst we remained to watch the motions of the enemy : she shortly after made sail for Brest, and we followed, making signals with rockets and blue lights during the night. At daylight, Ushant bore S.E. distant twelve or fourteen miles, the enemy about two miles on our lee quarter, W.S. W. the ROYALIST not in sight, I thought we should lose our intended prize ; but at t-: , ht the RoyALisT, with the R IPPON , appeared on .)tir he quarter: the enemy was &et approaching ..lorlaix, and fearing she would effect it before either ~ the other ships could get up, Captain M'Po\ Aim thttermined to engage her singly ; we ran under his Item, and gave him our whole broadside into the cabin windows : he then attempted to wear, to bring his broadside to bear on us, but got his ship in irons, when we plied him with several broadsides of grape, round, and canister ; dismounted two of his stern chasers, killed one Lieutenant and six men, and '7ounded fifteen : the men then forsook their guar tqs, and compelled their Captain to strike, although he had sworn he would not strike to any thing less than a line-of-battle . ship. She proved to be the, French national frigate la Weser, mounting 52 guns, 1;;LI 400 men, Captain CANTIGLAAItV., seventeen days, 1,4 front the Texel, a new shuip, on her firsicruize." TI-It AIM?, The ComMandet in Chi e f ha s lately directed that Dtagoons should not be employed in conveying mi., litary orders, except on urgent occasions, which nay require immediate dispatch. The light cavalry depots have received permission to turn out a proportion of horses into straw-yards for the winter. The 2d Battalion of the sth Regiment of Foot has been ordered froth Exeter, to be placed under the command of General ACLAND, in the Eastern Dis trict. The Coldstream Guards, the 37th and 88th regi ments, were the most successful corps in obtaining men dpring the late volunteering from the militia. Ten Engineer Officers are under immediate orders to ilia Lord WELLINGTON. Captain ENGLISH and Lieutenant SAVAGE go out. aiguilettes of General AINOT were found in the field of battle, and were given to a General Offi cer, who brought them with him to England. Lieutenant-General Sir THOMAS PICTON'S health being in a great degree re-established, it is said be will soon proceed to Spain to take the command of the Eastern Army. The Cornish Miners are to be employed on the projected fortification on Hilsea Green. This forti fication is to be a pentagon, with five bastions reach ing across the island, and open in the rear. The present barracks will be enclosed by it in front. The 7th battalion of the GOth regiment, is ordered from the Isle of Wight depot to Guernsey, to replace the 2d battalion of the 35th, under orders to prepare for embarkation. The Aberdeenshire militia marched into Dover on Tuesday and Friday ; alio one division of the West York arrived there on their route to Canterbury. General Sir G. HEWITT, Bart. arrived in Dublin on Saturday se'nnight, to assume the command 'of the forces in Ireland, in the room of the Hon. Lieu tenant-General Sir J. HOPE, K.B. now serving with the army in the Peninsula, as second in command to the Marquis of WELLINGTON. Sir G. HEWITT was some years back Adjutant-General in Ireland, and is known to be a very skilful officer. Colonel CAREY, of the 64th Regiment (son-in-law to Sir G. HEWITT) Deputy* Adjutant-General in Ireland, has been appointed Military Secretary to the Forces, vice colonel MACDONALD, gone to the Penin sula on the Staff of Sir J. HOPE. • The Derry Militia have embarked at Cork for England. It is generally supposed that the British regiments at Stralsund, which we have recently mentioned as having been ordered to embark for another destina tion, will proceed to the Weser, in order to take ad vantage of the opportunity afforded by the establish ment of the Russians in Bremen and Oldenburg, for raising the standard of the lawful Sovereign in the Electorate of Hanover. These regiments are forth with to be augmented to the full strength of 1000 men each battalion. The augmentation is to be made by the admission of German recruits, •Rho are to be found in abundance, and without a moment's delay, ready trained to the use of arms, and ardent for the service. Sin Jolla MURRAY.—We have great satisfaction , in being enabled at length to set at rest the anxiety of our Military Readers, and the Public at large, upon the subject of the long-expected investigatkn of the failure of the expedition against Tarragona, and the awkward circumstance of the abandonment of the artillery on the re-embarkation. A Com t of In quiry is forthwith to be held for this purpose at Paler mo. No person having preferred any charges, a Court Martial cannot be held till a Court -of Inquiry shall have determined whether there is any ground for fur ther proceeding. We understand that, with becoming regard to his character, Sir JOHN MURRAY himself demanded this proceeding. General DUNKIN, who was second in Armand under Sir JOIIN MURRAY, and is just arrived in London from Spain, has been ordered to depart immediately to give his evidence before the Court. The order for General DUNKIN'S attendance was sent from Sicily to Catalonia, where it was not received till after the General had depar ted for England on leave of absence. The order was transmitted without delay to England, and the im mediate departure that we have intimated has been ordered in consequence. We have not heard who is to preside at the Court, nor of what officers it is to be composed. A circular letter has been transmitted to the Lords Lieutenants of Counties, by the Secretary of the Home Department, for the purpose of rendering more effective, and of more general use, that valu able corps . the yeomanry cavalry. With a view to this important object, Lord SIDAIOUTH recommends the forming the separate troops, or small corps, into regiments, consisting of not less than six troops, where there are so many in the county, and that each regiment should perform its annual exercise of twelve days, as permanent duty, at one acid the same pe riud, and be subject, during that time, to one inspec tion. Corps so formed, and consenting to assemble annually for the period above mentioned, are in fu ture, in lieu of present allowances, .to receive the same pay and allowances as are granted to the re gular cavalry. In such counties as do not furnish six troops, these regulations may be carried into ef fect, provided the whole number, not being less than three, shall consent to the conditions herein specified. In those counties where there are single troops unat tached to any regiment, such troops will be required, to entitle them to the benefit of, these allowances, either to become part of such existing regiments, or to form themselves into new corps, consisting of not less than three troops each. The only alterations making in the chambers of Parliament are, the new avenue for Members of the House of Commons to the gallery leading to their House, which precludes the necessity of coming through the waiting-rooms, and the taking• away of the fireplace in the lower or anti-lobby of the Com mons, which is to be replaced by a large Russian stove, which will diffuse a greater and more equable warmth through that necessary apartment. Sunday morning, for a wager of £5, a stonemason, of the name of Wool), undertook to go on foot from Whitechapel Church to Epping, and back again, in four hours and a half, the distance being 34 miles, which he accomplished eight minutes within the time.

CRUELTY TO A NOBLE ANIMAL...—A mare, the pro perty of an inhabitant of Kilburn, was yesterday morning, at three o'clock, s tar t e d on the Hockliffe road to go 100 miles in 15 hours. The animal did 32 miles in four hours without baiting, and accom plished the whole eight minutes within the time.— The bet was 200 guineas. THEWIRES. Datum LANE.—The new Comedy of First Impu dent was repeated last night to a very full house, and went off with general approbation. COVENT GARDEN. —Last night there was a magni ficent revival at this Theatre of the grand Historical Play of King Henry the Fifth, or Me Conquest of France. Nothing . could be better timed than the circumstance of bringing out such an animating Drama at this eminently interesting period ; when every British nerve is so exquisitely sensible to the common ho nour which all true hearts must feel, as they turn their minds towards the shores of humbled Gas cony, and see the flag of their proud nation, waving, in defiance, once more, over the Nalleys of France.— Thus reviving the achievements of Agincourt, and Pcietiers, and Cressy, and leaving another memorial of greatness, and terror, to inspire their offspring who are yet unborn. Mr. CONWAY, the new performer, pourtrayed the character of the gallant Henry with considerable effect. Mr. C.'s physical qualifications will certainly be readily admitted. Indeed, a fine manly person, a clear strong voice, and a good share of the powers of declamation, are generally the chief necessary requisites for a the4trical hero. The sub ordinate characters were exceedingly well filled.— SLADER pourtrayed " the humours" of Corporal Nyin, with considerable effect : &mum was ludicrously obstreperous in Ancient Pistol, and Fluel&n, theWelch Captain, as sustained by BLANCHARD, was extremely amusing.—The part of Katherine was very gracefully represented by Miss BR ISTOW.—The new Melo-Drama of The Miller and hi: Men followed. The House was crowded. FARTHER FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. MoRNiNo Ipaess.—Round dress of jaceonet muslin made up to the throat, and buttonechlown the back, which is still broader thaw they .were worn last tuun:h-; the waist Is also a little, but it is very little, shorter than they were then. Long sleeve, which falls much off' the shoulder ; it is vt ry large and loose, and fastens tightly at the wrist by a letting-in of Lice; the sleeve descends al most to the fingers, and is edged with lace. The trimming of this dress is extremely elegant; a very broad flounce, of the sante materials as the dress, is surmounted by a Itch embroidery in co- Inured silks, and a slight border, the pattern a wave, goes round it at bottom. Treble ruff of pointed lace. Hafr cropped behind, and dres!,ed in loose full carts in trout. Ear-rings of dead gold in the shape-of a heart ; they are very small. Slippers of slate -coloured kid, made much higher round the Instep than they have been worn for some time, and trimmed with a ribband to cor e respond.—Fries La Belle elezemblee. DIN NER Deus —Frock of Devonshire brown crape, made to display the back, bosom, and shoulders as much u possi ble. This exquisitely simple and becoming dreu. haves us little to describe : in the form of the frock there Is nothing new, but the trimming, which is of white satin, is very novel and tasteful; it is laid on in folds, which are separated into small compartments by strings of real pearl. The sleeve, which is of white satin, corresponds with the flounce. Hair partly twisted up behind, partly descending in looseringlets ota the back of the neck; the torehend is shaded by a few loose and beautiful ring lets; a wreath of half-blown roses is put on rather to one side, and the whole air of the head is* as youthful as possible. Pearl neck-lace, ear-rings, and bracelets. White kid slippers with sil ver rosettes. A rich scarf of lemon colour shot with lilac, is oc casionally thrown over the shoulders ; and a ridicule, with silver clasps and tassels, finishes the dress.—liiid. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. In jewellery, cornelians, both white and red, are vary much worn in half dress, and dead gold ornaments are also universal. In full dress coloured stones have a decided pre-eminence over pearls. Emeralds and rubies are highest in estimation; but sap phires, topazes, turquoises, in short, every kind of coloured stone are worn. Half-boots of black and coloured leather are universal In un dress. Shoes or slippers are quite on the decline. White kid, and white satin slippers, made much higher than they have been worn on the instep, are very general in full dress ; but the most fashionable is a white satin sandal, laced with sil ver cord. . . Fans continue the same as last month. Fashionable colours, for the month are ruby, purple, seagreen, brown, and slate colour. FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. ARRIVALS.

This being the first Seal before Michaelmas Terms Mr. HART moved, in the following case, JONES V. DALE AND THOMAS, for an order to dissolve the injunction obtained by the Plaintiff to restrain the Defendants from proceed. ing by action of ejectment for recovery of the estate of the father of their wives, who were heiresses iu remainder under a family settlement, and which the Plaintiff in the present, which was a cross bill, had taken possession of, and retained for ten years lest past, as heir to his deceased brother, en the ground that his nieces, the wives of the defendents,Avere ille• gitimate, being born at Naples, Sicily, or Malta, and their father married between the births of his two daughters, at the peri►h of St. Pancras, in the cc unty of Middlesex, by license, in obtaining which he swure himself to be a bachelor. Mr. JOHNSON followed on the same side, urging, that as the Plaintiff was non-suited at Hereford, on the trial of an issue upon the question of illegi upon which the defendants, or one of them, whose wife was denizened in this Country, upon a certificate • produced by the father of her legitimacy, and conse quently entitled not only to the possession, but to the profits of at least a moiety of the estate, and of the monies now paid into Court, in right of his wife, as one of the co-heiresses. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY , and Mr. %minim. op posed the motion, on the ground that an order was granted 1, his Lordship, for a commission to be exe cuted at Naples, Rome, Sicily, or Malta, at some of which places the plague was then raging, so that farther time and continuance of the injunction became necessary for the ends of justice. Mr. HART opposed this extension of the injunction on various grounds, in an energetic reply ; upon' which the Loan CHANCELLOR, after expressing an in clination to grant the continuance of the injunction upon an arrangement secure for the parties, desired all the affidavits to be handed to him for perusal.— Judgment deferred. All the motions of the Seal were disposed of, and the Court adjourned. OLD BAILEY. Yesterday James Louthware was indicted for ciously stabbing, wish intent to murder ex James Harris, on the morning of the 21st of 0.4 - - bor. Both the prosecutor and the accused seemem co be about 18 or 19 years of age. Mary Jay was servant to the prosecutor's father, and accompanied her mistress and her three daugh ters to a place near the Old Bailey, on the evening of the 20th, whence they returned about one o'clock in the morning of the 21st. In Long-ally they called at a public-house, where the elder Harris (the pro secutor's father) was waiting to accompany them home. She proceeded before, and observed the eri goner with two females. Shortly after she heard be hind her the prisoner's companions and her master's daughters quarrelling, and soon after the prisoner assaulted Harris. The prosecutor then came out from their house, which was not far distant, on hearing his lather's voice, and told the prisoner to fight with him, and not with his father. On this a scuffle ensued, and the,prisoner went up a dark alley, followed by the prosecutor, who soon returned, wounded in the side. The prosecutor and his father gave evidence much to the same effect. One or two blows had passed be tween the prisoner and him before he retreated to Me passage. The watchman gave an account of his havinefound the knife with which the wound had been inflicted ;: it was a common clasp knife. The Surgeon, 'to whose care the proseCutor had been committed, stated that the wound had not been dangerous since the removal of the first dressing. Baron Tuotarscis "then addressed the Jury and said, that he had not called on the prisoner for any defence, because in the statute which inflicted the punishment of death on the crime with which the prisoner stoat charged, it was provided in such case as the wound, if fatal, would not have amounted to murder, then the prisoner should not. be convicted. Such a Case he conceived. was that before them, and the Jury could not therefore but acquit the prisoner. —The Jury ac cordingly gave in a verdict of—Not Guilty. Janus Brown was indicted for stealing a mare, with a cart-saddle and harness, the property of Walter • Pritchard. The facts of the case were, that the prosecutor, on the evening of the 19th of October, had left the . mare with its harness in a stable ; on the morning of the 20th the lock was broken, and the mare and harness gone. On the same morning early the prisnoer was met and detained by the watch, between Stepney green, and Mile-end road, with the same mate and harness, drawing a cart laden with flax. The prisoner said, in defence, that the horse had ' been lent to him by the owner of the stable, but he adduced no witnesses, ana was found—Guilty.' Brighton Cotton was indicted fur having feloniously assaulted William Brown, and having taken from him a watch, value WS, his property. Brown, the prosecutor (a groom) stated, that on the 9th of October, about nine o'clock in the evening, he went into the Wheat Sheaf, a public-house in Wych-street, Drury-lane, in the company of an ac. •quaintancea He took a pint of beer, and not finding a man whom he wanted to see, he was about to leave the bouse, and in the passage to the door, he was struck by a man who hit him on the breast, and his watch was drawn out by this man. At the same time he seized the man, and closed with him ; the man . struck him, and both fell. Witness still.kere his hold till some people -came and drew the man to the front, door, which they opened, and the man made his escape. While on tne ground, he held the man by the toot, and remarked he had a high shoe on. The prisoner at the bar he could not swear positively to be the person. He was told by several persons in the house that be should have his watch on the Sunday morning. Hannah Fitzgerald was at the Wheat-sheaf on the evening in question, and was coming out when she saw Brown lying in the passage, andantaher man with him ; she could not say whether it a as the saner—there were many others pushing gad sce n i c to get off the man on the ground whom Brown traci try the leg. Benjamin Bennett, landlord of the Wheat.sheaf, has kept it nearly three months; knows the Irian":
