The following are entracte from a Journal. kept by Mr. William Taylor, late a 'errant In the 65th Infantry, of the details of Sir The. mss Graham's mtpWlitlon to the Netherlands in 1814. Ate:: " About the middle of January Sir Thomas ordered the troops to ad vance upon Antwerp. The Brigade to which the 7tst Ilighlanders belonged speedily mate up with the enainy. but little firing ensued, for our women, es the French sarcastically called our brave sans culottes, were ordered to charge, who made quick work of it, though a stout re ' Matinee for an Interval was offered during which many lives were lost. The retreat of the enemy alfOrded us time to take care of our wounded. Among the latter was a piper of the 71st (I think his name was Clark,) who, shot through the thigh, had fallen, but who, directly after, in a sitting posture, brought his instrument loudly into play to the tame .‘ Slots wha bee," as stimulating to his brethren in action. "Ott the 34 of February, at a small town ( Merkshmn,) about a mile and a quarter from Antwerp, having lain on our arms (as the phrase has it) all the night before, In order to advance as soon as daylight Should enable na to find our way, we were visited by such a downright Ikll of snow (the wind being still) as presently coveted the earth to some matelSentkli tit seemed as tf the Saint Was. in. dee at which was about to Sallow, had determined that the killettimai we should lie softer than usual. " Oar Brigade was commanded by Major-General Skerreu a few weeks before, the veteran had broken $ kg; he walked into the field on crutches, attended by two pioneers, whose duty it was to be near him. When just within range of the enemy's shot he was in the rear of the lidtk but his gallant spirit, superior to cold conteoul, soon plead tldm, sword in hand, at the heed of his brigade. The 35th now had orders, and fell back into the rear of the main division, which wee driving the French from Merkaham towards Antwerp. Having got through the narrow pass, we formed on the left, the French by that time having re-entered Antnerp, drawn up its bridges, and opened their batteries. Possessing a suitable position for our guns, piquets and working parties were formed, and the troops took refreshments. While halting in the principal street at Merkshans, Sir T. Graham and an English Prince, though his precise name was not mentioned in my hearing, passed through our ranks arm-in -arm; during their pro gress,' a Captain of the With Foot pointed out to the latter an opening which• had been made by a shot in his great cost, the skirt of which his Royal Highness raised with his right hand, and perceiving the shot bole, facedously reclaimed, " 0 the mue, thus to mak.e Iles with Royal robes"—the expression being baud by all about him, who could but admire the coal and unaffected manner with which it hod been uttered. The Prince and Sir Thomas walked on leisurely : the Cap min, who had joined his Lieutenant and Ensign, =newly escaped a cannon-ball which had struck the corner of a house that ha d turned it across the street; it carried away the boot and foot of the Lieutenant and shattered the ensign's leg. Our surgeon (Mr. Sharp) was at hand, and amputation about the knee was had rettousre to with both, when they were put into a waggon and ordered to the rear. Gen. Skerrett died gloriously ; he fell at Bergen-op. Zoom. " The author of the Journal from which the above extracts are taken is now at Brighton. He never found out who the English Prince he mentions actually was, until he chanced to pass our kind-hearted blo ouch, William IV. near the Steyne, when his surprised feelings occa sioned him audibly to express, in the words he bad previously penned, " 0 the rogue, thus to make free with Royal Robes !" to the no ordi nary astonishment of the bpstanden. But a brief explanation subdued their growing choler, and high gratification was expressed by all. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. PARIS, OCT. $4. Star—When the long-expected Code Napoleon broke upon our men tal vision, every philosopher and philanthropist, hailed its appearance with rapture. To their exalted minds It seemed as a mighty blow struck at the root of vice and crime. They agreed that the vicious and the ahninal, seeing the: certainty of panishment; for: their misdeeds, would no longer depend on escaping by the weakness and legal quibbles which had hitherto befriended so many. That defined acme having de fined punishment, and eery crime having its classification, none could ' , elude the insulted majesty of justice. But they did not consider that the perpetrators of crime are seldom governed, by previous rellesliey that the most ignorant of our fellow-creatures form the majority of those who live upon society, and that is seldom happens that they coolly set down and adaalated the chances, ere they plunged Into guilt. Holism* S: the interests of the hymen race, i<bas boa fatal that this far.fanted code, as a preventive, has not bate of sage:vice wbutemr. There was' another class who hailed the publication of the code as tending to pew; cure to every man chap and substandal justice, by the clear defialdoen, as ft was supposed by its compilers, of every source of disagreement among mankind in civil society. it was imagined by this class of phi. losophas, that lawsuits would be wonderfully diminished, and the the numbers who are supported by the evil pal:lona of mankind, would be reduced one-half. But alas ! for the ingenuity of our species la wasp doing, it was soon discovered that these ideas were Utopias, and the Courts of Law had as many suitors, and maintained as Many retainers as ever. Notwithstanding this failure of the more sanguine ideas of per. Action on this subject, it cannot be denied that this code has greatly benefited the jurisprudence of France. The powerful mind of him, who consecrated this compilation by his name, delighted to contemplate the good effect it would have upon future go. Iterations, and he has been beard to say, " When my victories me for gotten, I shall go down to posterity with my Code in hand." Previ. ously to itipublication, France,which was originally as Germany is now, a confederation of petty States and Provinces, holding ender one se. knowledged Monarch, was governed by different laws in her different States. This caused an endless confusion. Appeals could be made to other Courts, when a judgment was given, at some hundreds of miles distance, and such were the means of harrassing an opponent, that riches, and interest, were frequently triumphant over poverty and right. The Code had at least the merit of placing every French citizen upon an equal footing, and of dividing matters of debt and contract, from those of crime and guilt. It is in Ragland found necessary, in eases of mercantile convention, to decide frequently the custom of mer chants, and oftentimes complicated questions are tried, to which the habits and mental qualifications of a common Jury are not supposed to be adequate. Our law has therefeer provided a special Jury of mer. chants for such occasions.—lt is probable, that the Jab-consults, who framed the commercial Code, adopted from our practice the idea of tak ing the Judges of the Tribunal de Commerce ftom the most respectable merchants of the city, where it is situated. This is invariably the case in France, and seems to be attended with the happiest remits. Every sedan (sr debt, breach of contract, or invasion of the rights of another is Mid beftwe them, and the only qualification requisite for their election to the Bench, where they preside for a limited tam of years is howled/Peg ammercial affairs, and respectability of chaser:ter. They have alt power of granting time to a debtor, and in many Instances the daisies rests with them whether &claim can be :Area by confinement of die debtor's person, as well as a seizure of his goods. They are not haul so much by precedents as by the equity of the case in point. The Paw Aunt of the Courts of Assize, which are only held foe the trial of these mimes, whose magnitude are beyond the powers of the Tribunal of Orr. tectional Police, holds an ofilat somewhat similar to our Judges. Our Judges repeatedly warn a prisoner not to criminate himself; they wadi the evidence, and will not suffer anything prejudicial to the priseastr, contrary to what are termed its rules, nothing of hearsay is allowed, and ht cases of law, the Judge is held to be of conned for the seamed. Beret en the contrary, after the Procureur du Roi, or Attorney General has opened the indictment. the President does all in his power to convict the prisoner. He examines him most strictly, and comments upon the replies as he goes on to the Jury. He tries to get every admission from him, although it is but fair to add, that his endeavour appears to be the elicitation of truth, however artfully concealed. If he suspects the tea-' timony of a witness, he takes the same pains with him, and I have peen criminals convicted entirely, by the efibrts made by the Freakiest, who from defective evidence would otherwise have escaped. It should be remarked that every one, who has net means to employ legal aeilelansa i has it assigned to bin at the expense of Government, in • the persons of Attorneys, and Advocates of the first respectability and talent. To an Englishman accustomed to the proceedinp of our Courts of JUsticemany things occur which strike hint with surprise, as bearing so little analogy to our own customs, which we have long believed to be the model oldie world. The Trial by Jury they have borrowed from us in criminal meek' by the law passed the Bth of the present month, all delinquencies of the press will henceforward be subjected to the mane mode of trial Cir. eumstances occasionally take place, which we should think unfair to the accused. Our nation seem to entertain the mane feeling in juris prudence which distinguishes them in•their sporting pursuits.. A wish to give the pursued a fair start, or a law, as it is termed. Query, has not the term arisen from our legal practice ? Many a culprit has es. aped in England from the doubts entertained d bid identity by the conscientious witnese, front a change of dress. In Fames every reef. Lion is made to procure and produce the clothes worn at the time of the offence. I was witness to a scene which bordered epeer the ludicrous, and ended by throwing the C:nrt into i asshole ((laughter. A female, and two associates in a carriage visited the linen.despers and millisers shops for II: purple of depredating. The lady was dressed in thafiret style of fashion, and the gentlemen were exquisites, elegantly equipped, and mustachioed in the most dashing manner. Laces were their prin cipal object, and for some days they were very successful t but at last were detected and thrown into prison. At the trial the wheelies expressed some doubt as to the identity of the Gendenses,. for when they appeased in Court, " As smooth as Hebe's, were their erns. awed lips." This difficulty had been foreseen, and the crier called out in a stentorian voice for Monsieur Richard.-- A very grave elderly gentleman in black appeared, and ele vated his right band, while the President in a solemn tone ad. ministered the oath, that he should execute the commands of the Court upon the prisoners without favorer or affection, /x. ?ti which' he impended "Si le jure" (that a swear.) The order was than given aloud, " TAW the prisonas out of Court, and pat whiskers upon them." Under the escort of some gendarmerie they were taken out, and shortly reversed wkh their tips meet luxuriantly futerhhed in Imitation of nee. tore. The witnesses then positively swore us • their regent, and they was convicted. An appeal lies from every co:Haien to the CAM of Caseation, which has the power of breaking, as its name denotes, meg sentente s Eed, and remitt i ng the mum to be trial afresh In case of harem . It also has hey of not entklotidgteing pubhhettenr, but of . 11 to the sew. of a sentencit. The de:leg of the Monarch is the only reseal aten this Court has &sided the fa el the ealprit.

L. 4 THE CIVIC PROCESSION. It having been intimated that the joining of the Benefit and Trade Soden. of Metropolis would add to the beauty and pieta picturesque ef ' feet of the City procession , op the visit,of their Majesties to Gu ' on Lord Mayor's Day, a meeting of Delegates from these Societies was held on Monday evening, at the White Hart Tavern, B street t there was a very large assemblage, and some of the ish ;Ct ill pa r ; Societies had delegates in attendance. Mr. Macatx was called to the Chair, and be explained the objects of the wasting. They were called together for the purpose of adopting mama to greet their Majesties on their entrance into the City on the Bth of November; and it was desirable that the members of the dit. ferent fraternities of the metropolis should, on that occult" assemble and take up different stations to be allotted to them in the line of procession, and to reserve ample room for the Royal party pass in the centre without obstruction. When they beheld a • who, unlike many of his peedeceseors, was anxious to be popular, who seemed desirous of the proud name of " a Patriot King," it was, no doubt, his wish, on the coming occasion, to be surrounded by his people, in whose hearts he seemed to wish to reign by love, in pre. facture to any military escort. (Hear hear.) The present was only a preliminary step ; they would hereafter have to consult their res pective Societies on the subject. He trusted they all perceived the pro priety of this compliment to their Majesties, and would cordially co. operate with them. Mr..l. H. Baena moved a series of resolutions, which were aid manly withdrawn foe others. He hoped they would bear in view, throughout this &fear, one particular point—that was, in 'bowing their loyal respects to the Ring, and particularly to her gracious Ma jesty, as they were now enabled to do, by their acceptance of the City invitation. They would let her Majesty, who was a foreigner, see the emblems of their ve aa ft s ; this they were bated to do the move, when they the ostensive patronage which the Queen bad amity bestowed upon the trades and manufactures of her subjects. They would assemble to show • their Majesties that what they bad done shad their seaman to benefit the people had truly secured them a thane in the hearts sad sake-dons of all, and mare per. ticularly of the working elawas, and so let them haat that the surest foundation of a great was to be found in the waited energies of the working part of the comentaty.--(Chess.) docadose_ fr The supreme power was new vested in the hands of a good aail Kap, who , they all felt convinced, would make use tithe sceptre in his hands for the benefit of every subject in Aft .) The object of their coming forward was, to have the members these Societies form a line at ash aide of the way through which the proms sioo was to pass, and thus preserve order, prevent interruption, and al low the spectators to have a better view of the whole. His Majesty had shown that he preferred being surrounded by his people, to Military guards. They would then both gnat the Royal *lobes, and &mem state that a popular King was nowhere so safe as in the arms of the hard-working classes of his subjects. Mr. Witmer? wished to know by whose authority they would thus foam the intended line ? In all potability the new policeM a would - hn with the societies in the Strad, sad, wakes they Snit obtained authority, they would be perhaps placed in an awkward sifted*. The Caantatart said the subject was at present before the City Al dermen, for their consideration ; and, as respected the City, he int . perhaps, state that the permission would be obtained. A Clan been coeveued that day at the (handball, bur a suillereat number to entatitute it had not arrived ; a great properties of the Aldermes were desirous that they should assemble on the coming ocarina. With re gard to Westminster, epplicadoo should also be made, and to the high s at authaity. Mr. Baowx thought these details subjects for monlierradaa for a future meeting. The present object was to know what Rea they maid muita, to display their gratitude to the Ring and Queen. ' In answer to some other questkee, the Carantrart laid that . it. was expected every person would cease famed, either at their eat ea pane, or that of the Society to which thej belonged, if there was 'lnnis for that purpose ; they ought rather to pay for their loyalty than be paid for it. The resolutions were then pat and carried. The fire appointed a Committee of Management, with power to add to their numbers ; the maid instructed this Committee to ascertain, as soon as possible, what facilities the sutherities in the has of procaelan *yule Mired them is carrying their object into effect ; and the lest used a day fee a future meeting. The Deputies then separated. Tuesday nearly 200 constables were sworn in at Ouildhall, a considerable to the usual 'somber, to keep seder wittio the city, on thempriseking bid Mayor's dcy.

His Grace further desires me to observe that it probably arose from a misconstruction of the provisions of the Act of last Session, which solely relates to the illegal importation and sale of arms, of which the of of the Constabulary have been apprised, and no time has been lost in giving positive directions to prevent any further search from being made—l am, Sir, your obedi.ent bum ble servant, "Richard O'Connell, Esq.
