In consequence of the late unfavourable rumours in circulation respecting Countess Piper, (the sister of Count Fersen) that Lady has addressed a memorial to the King, demanding trial, which has been com plied with. No less than five attempts have been made to set this city on fire, but thank GOD, without succels.— We continue quiet at present, as every precaution is taken to prevent the assembling of a mob.

Countess Piper,. sister of the late Marshal Count Axel Ferzen, has transmitted to his Royal Majesty the following memorial : 44 Most Mighty and Most Gracious King—ln the asylum which I have now obtained against perstcu don, I have woefully turned back my eyes to the transactions which have lately occurred. Vague sus picions of a pretended offence, contradicted by every 1 thing which has hitherto come to light in the course of the instituted enquiry, and destitute of all probability, have, however, been sufficient to sacrifice one of the highest Officers of the Crown, whose loss, as his nearest relation, I deeply lament. Being informed by the general report, that I also share in the mourn ful fate of being suspected of being accessary to an offence which hitherto only exists in suspicion, to have escaped from the general danger, which' but the recollection of my honour being insulted, and my innocence suspected, would embitter every hour of that life which I have saved from the grasp of per. spcution. In this painful situation, confidence in I your Majesty's love of justice has, however, shed a gleam of hope on the gloom with which my mind is shrouded; and I humbly venture to pray, not that my cruel enemies and persecutors may be punished, but that all my actions may be strictly scrutinized, and my innocence fully ascertained...... 44 For the enlightened and better informed part of the public, an inquiry of this nature might perhaps be superfluous ; but as mere vague reports were suf. ficient to stir up commotions and incite to murder, and as my future peace of mind depends on a full and public justification of my conduct founded on the most unquestionable proofs: , g 'cannot any longer forbear imploring your Royal Majesty, that you will most graciously be pleased to order the above enquiry to be immediately made ; and all your Majesty's subjects called upon freely to state all they know upon the subject in ques tion, in order that my innocence may be fully established, and the suspicions removed which have been so unexpectedly thrown on my principles and conduct. Permit me to add, that I should not have troubled your Majesty with this humble prayer, did I not feel strictly bound to hand down to poste rity the honour of my family as spotless as I received it from my ancestors, and that under the strongest impressions of conscious innocence, I pro test to remain until the last moment of my existence with the sincerest veneration, loyalty, and zeal, most Mighty and Most Gracious King, your Royal Ma jesty's most humble and most faithful subject and servant, (Signed) " EVA SOPHIA FF.RSEN. " Waxholm, June 28, 1810." His Royal Majesty has most graciously been pleased to order the above petition to be delivered to the Chancellor of Justice, in order to be disposed of as the laws and the complexion of the case requires. THE PENINSULA. It is pretty generally believed that Government are already informed of the fall of Ciudad Rodrigo, or have received such accounts as leave no doubt that the event was expected every hour when the last' accounts left the army. It is believed to have sur rendered on or about the sth instant. Marshal NET, it is said, had incurred the displeasure of NAPOLEON by some .dilatory proceeding, which of all things is the greatest crime in his sight, and a Board of Inquiry was ordered to sit upon him. But Massmt, who is his friend, entrusted to him, en attendant, the direction of the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo, that by some bold ' and masterly act he might have the chance of regain ing the favour of his Sovereign. NEY would not let the favourable occasion pass unimproved ; and; as the sacrifice of human blood never enters into the cal culations of NAPOLEON, it is probable that NEY would attempt the conquest ar i any expence of the lives of his army. We have no doubt that the place is now in possession of the euemy. Accounts from Oporto, later than any we have yet noticed, announce that a Proclamation had been issu ed and placarded in all the conspicuous situations in Oporto and Lisbon, commanding that all males, not in a state of debility from infancy or old age, should proceed immediately to the head-quarters of the Por tuguese army, to be there inspected and appointed to the duty that they should be competent to discharge. No profession or occupation was exempted, and ma. nufacturers, and even sailors, were required to pay obedience to this mandate. A letter from Corunna, of the sth inst. mentions, that on the festival of St. Joseph a ball was given in honour of the Usurper by the French Officers in San. tander, and that to this ceremony were invited all the young ladies of the neighbourhood. Some of themt it seems, did not think fit to appear, and were three English women. All the absentees fined in the sum of 4800 rs. or about ‘4B One young lady was required to pay thesame an , o int, not because she did not attend, but for appeari ig in the circle at too late an hour. Letters from Gibraltar were received yesterday to the date of the 26th ult. Fourteen deserters bad come in from the enemy's camp before Cadiz, who asserted that it was intended to abandon the siege of that city. Little confidence was reposed in this statement, u deserters who had before entered the fortress had maintained, that reinforcements had arrived, and more were expected. The besieging army was cal culated at 20,000 men. The accounts received from _ Catalonia continued to speak with hope as to the result of the conflict there. The number of the enemy in that province was stated to be under twelve thou. sand men. amongeleSt bsentees Wer e 113 sterl THE ARMY. The detachMent of the East Norfolk Main, which was at Chatham, has joined their Regiment at Sheer. 'less. Six companies of the 7th Royal Veteran Bat. talion, marched to Sheerness from Chatham on Mon. day last, to join the remaining companies there, wl►ep they immediately embarked for Gibraltar. Thursday the 3d Regiment of Royal Lanarkshire Local Militia, commanded by Lieutenant-Cultmet GRIMES, finished their second period of training, when their colours were delivered to them by Join.; HAMfL• Tor, Esq. one of his Majesty's Vice-Lieutenants of the County. Wednesday sennight, previous to inspection, the 4th Regiment of Lanarkshire Local Militia received their colours, which were consecrated in a very ele gant and appropriate prayer by the Rev. Dr. Gtsa. On the.loth instant, the Haddingtonshire Local Militia, under the command of Major Mtnnix.r.ss , , Arne reviewed at Hadding . .on, by Major-General DURHAM, in the presence of a numerous and genteel I company. This regiment, which is about 850 strong, went through their various manoeuvres, and particu larly in their firing, which was close and well levelled, with a steadiness, regularity, and precision, that would have done credit to a corps of much longer standing. After the business of the field was finished, the General expressed his approbation of their soldier. like appearance, and the manner in which they ac quitted themselves, not only under arms, but of their decent and orderly behaviour ever since they came into quarters, which shewed the high sense he enter tained of the Regiment, and was equally creditable ° to both officers and men. CALeuTTA JANUAftv 13.—We lave been favoured with the perusal of a l etter from Bangalore, dated the 19th of December. The General Court-Martial had t hen been sitting for twenty days. without intermission; and, as far as could be judged, there was little prospect of their proceedings heft closed within a shorter time than six months. Eight officers in all had come to Bangalore to stand their trial,on charges contested with the late conunotiesse of the stations of the Madras army. The first trial which cams on was that of Lieutenant-Colonel Btu. ; who, during the period in question, was the senior Officer in command of the garrison of Seringapatam. The purport of the charges brought against him was as follows :-Ist, For beading a most alarming and dangerous mutiny against the Government of Fort Sr. George • and ed, for firing on the troops of his Majesty and the Hon oerable Cons. pony, on the 11th of August last. Lieutenant-Colonel Btu. ; doss,' his defence on the 17th ult. after a trial of eighovn days duration. Of the sentence of the Court, nothing of course can ! be known, until it shall be promulgated ha General Orders. So lvers! of the Officers, who had been called to Bangalore to give i evidence in Colonel Bates case, had returned to Seringapatam. Captains WAVAII, PATTtaiON ' and SADLZ IL, to whom thr op. non of dismissal from the service, or of trial by Court-Martial was proferred by Government, had embraced, we understand. the former alternative; and had in consequence received orders to p.. coed to the Presidency; from whence, it was understood, they would embark for Europe. The KING came to town yesterday, about weir* o'clock, from Windsor, escorted by a party of Light Ficrse. His MAJESTY was received by the Dukesof YORK, KENT, and CAMBRIDGE. About one, the Duke of CI.U.IBERLAND visited his MAJESTY. His Royal Highness appears to be recovering from his wounds. At three the Duke set off for Kew. _ _ At two the KING held a Levee,_ at which the fol- lowing had the honour of being presented to his MAJESTY Major Baron MOTALEMIZRT, on receiving the Royal Licence to assume and use his tides in his Majesty's dominions Lieutenant-General NRILOMADI, on his being appointed Colo nel of the 86th regiment.

His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, at which the RECORDER of London attended, and made a Report of the convicts under sentence of death in Newgate. His MAJESTY gave audiences to Mr. _PrutcivaL, and the rest of the Cabinet Ministers present. His Excellency the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR, since his arrival at Portsmouth, had rather a serious at. tack of illness on Sunday evening, but by the skill and attention of Dr. WILKINSON, he is now recovered. He visited the Dock Yard on Tuesday, and after wards dined with the Lieutenant Governor. He embarked yesterday afternoon with Sir GORE OUSE. LEY, on board the LION, which was expected to sail to-day for the East Indies. Futz.--. Early yesterday morning a fire broke out at the cottage of Mrs. PHELLEP, in the Hamm Road, which totally consumed the interior, but most of the furniture was saved. Yesterday we received American Newspapers to the 20th ult. from which we have given some inter• esting correspondence between the Marquis Wawa- LEY and Mr. PINKNRY, and between General Attu. STRONG and Mr. Secretary SMITH. The manner in which Mr. ARMSTRONG has been treated at Paris, pre• sents a striking contrast to the urbanity and respect which has mutually prevailed between the British Government and the American negotiator here, at the very time when the public concerns intrusted to them, were most perverse. The French Government takes a very brief me thod with the Americans. It sells at once the vessels which are the subject of negotiation, and seizes the money. This, of course, leaves the poor Americans nothing to negociate about, but either to resent the act by war, or submit to it ; but a remediless misfor tune is much less likely to provoke hostilities than one that is impending, and which, it is conceived, way be prevented by threats. •
