A * gentleman who quitted Paris in the beginning of the month, informs us. that NAPOLIIO/1 has completely -changed his dregs: Instead of his military suit of green, he wears a folding ted cloak, and the place of 'lns large cocked hat is st.pplied by a broad brimmed flat hat, with black feathers hanging over his face.— He travels with the utmost expedition, and with such dispatch and 'secrecy, that he is often at Fontainbleau when the inhabitants, and even Ministers, think that be is in Paris. * Whenever he walks in public, his suspicious eyes are on the watch, turning from side to side, as if he dreaded the dagger of the person neat him. - 84ndaY last, Mr. Barett,'who was employed in the . engineer department at Sheerness, was found 14 two wpspeet suffocated in a ditch near Mile-town: .

In this description of force, as well as in Artillery, we are confessedly superior to the enemy. We believe that, since the Cavalry of the German Legion have been ia this country, we have had some useful lessons. We hone soon to see the hot-house treatment of our cavalry-horses, which unfits them for undergoing fatigue, banished from the British service, and a Mote sensible and less extravaga*t out fit of cavalry appointments adopted. A great many cavalry-transports are fitting out at the different ports. The gallant 37th, the old Minden regiment, is on its march to embark at Portsmouth for Cork, there to relieve a regiment which proceeds with some others from Ireland to join Lord WELLINGTON'S army.— The 37th only returned from the West Indies a few .months ago a skeleton. General CAMPBELL, Who lately distinguished him self by the repulse of a division of Mua.vr's army in Sicily, is son of the late Sir JAMES CAMPMLL in Scot landa and is considered as one of our ablest officers. 9i said his recent services will be rewarded by some Tnnelt of royal favour..

The failure of the Expedition from Gibraltar, un der Major-General Lord BLAYN EY, is a matter of very deep regret on many accounts. Had it not been for Colonel GRANT, of the 82d; coming up with a re serve, and gallantly supporting our discomfited troops, , not a man in the expedition would have returned.— , ;t is said that the battalion of German Riflemen, imnbodied from deserters from the French Army in Spain, fight most desperately. Reinforcements for the garrison of Gibraltar will be immediately sent out, to replace the men which were sent on the expedition to Malaga. We are glad to hear that the fever which was com mitting such havoc among the inhabitants of Cadiz, has been chequed, and that it was prevented from communicating to the Guards and British garrison. This was effected by the skill and abilities of Sir JAMES FELLOWS. General HOUGHTON lately made a narrow escape of being made prisoner by the French in Portugal.— The General was reconnoitring, and had got to a considerable distance from our outposts. Colonel BAIRD, the. brother of Sir DAVID BAIRD, is on the Staff of General Gaxy, at the Cape of Good ' Hope. The Colonel, with great part of the Cape garrison, has proceeded on the expedition to the Mauritius, which is commanded by Lieutenant-Ge neral AsEacaoratis, son of the ever to bc lamented Hero of Egypt. The East Kent Militia marched from Exeter on Saturday last, for Dartmoor. The two privates of the Itcl battalion of infantry of the German Legion, who some months since stole a boat from Bexhill, with a view to desert to the enemy, and were intercepted at sea,'were last week drummed out of the regiment, prior to their being transported 1 for life, agreeably to the sentence of a General Court Martial. About seven in the evening of Wednesday last as the groom of Captain HUNTHR, of the Queen's Dra goon Guards, stationed in the,barraoks near Canter. bury, was opening the stable do r in order to put in a horse; which his master had been riding, the ani mal suddenly stetted from him, and ran out of the •barrack-yard down the New Military Road, into Broad-street; when turning the corner to the left, it continued its course at the utmost speed, till it was impeded by a coal waggon, which was unloading at the end of the street nest Burgate, against which it ran 'with such velocity, that it knocked down the shaft horse, forced one of the shafts through its chest nearly two feet into its body, and died almost instantaneously. - 04 e P9RET, a returned emigrap4 tyke, fermented 113)0SeglIi descendant of CiIAD.LEMAGICS, has bees 1 1;ltely aesstonc4,4 Pari4 W eight years' imprisonment.

A brace of American foxes, much admired for their handsome figure, and particularly on account of their enormous bushy tails, have for some time back beeti kept in Fox-lane, where they were properly at tended.--On Friday morning last, in order that they might the more freely receive some sustenance that was offered to them, they were uncoupled.— At this opportunity one of them conceived the desire to take an airing; he sprung past his keeper, and in less than half a minute cleared a wall l l feet high. He made a rapid excursion through Scotch -street, Lowther-street, Church-street, and Cross -street, where he sought refuge ; but was opposed in his design by an host of damsels, whoever-and-anonbrAndished both mop: and Grooms at him. Twice he made the tour of Church -street,—at last, with about a hundred people at his heels.

A ttoit melancholy occurrence took place here this morning. The win has, since Tuesday, blown right into this harbour,. S. and fi.W. with a heityy sea, so as to prevent the departure of any of the three packets now on this side ; the fourth (the D iwnshire) arrived off the harbour about eight A.M. from Donaghadee, with orders not to enter the harbour or take any pas -senger on board, but to deliver the Irish mail and re. ceive the British mail, and return immediately. The mails were exchanged with the greatest difficulty, and the sea was marling so high, that great apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the men who were in the boat that went out ; about ten minutes after the boat left her, the packet was driven between two cliffs north of the harbour, and, I am sorry to stae,' that one of the four passengers who came from Donaghadee, in attempting to gain the rock, was low. —another passenger, a young man from the county . , of Deny, had his legs lacerated in a most drea tful manner; and one of the crew of the packet had 11 . ;' 1 leg bruised, between the vessel and a rock, so sadly, that amputation was found necessary. A very short time after the people were drawn up from the p i ket '. I by ropes from the to p of the rock, she went to pieces. ' Not an article has been saved but the mail-hag, which - *was found floating about an hour after the Teasel : g vent down. BOMBAY, JUNE 9.
