Krivcs um' TO SCOTLAND. THE FIFTEENTH OF Attouar.—The auspicious and memorable day ma which his Majesty King Grottos the Fourth first visited " the land of cakes,' was ce lebrated here with considerable spirit and eclat. The porches of the King's Arms Inn and Dumfries and Gallm% ay Hotel, were each decorated with gigantic Scotch thistles, as well as by a plentiful supply of the emblematical heather; the bells, at intervals, rung a merry peal ; and exactly as the clock struck twelve, a party, headed by Mr. RANKINE, fired three rounds from a twelve-pounder stationed on the Corbelly-hill. In the evening upwards of 30 Gentlemen dined in the King's Arms Inn, under the name of " The Southern Welcome Club," Provost KERB in the Chair; Mr. JAMES SIIORTRIDGE, croupier. When the Chairman rose to propo,e the KING'S health, a signal was given to the bell-ringers, IA ho immediately set the clappers in motion, which, added to the long-continued cheers, had a very pleasing and exhilarating effect. In the course of the same day, the operative Lodge of Freemasons assembled in their Lodge-room here, in honour of the same gratifying occasion. As the cheerful glass went round, the brethren testified their feelings of duty and affection to the Royal Patron of the Craft, and spent the evening with the utmost hap piness and decorum. A number of songs were sung, and toasts given, such as, " The King," " The Grand Lodges of Scotland, England, and Ireland," " Our Provincial Grand Master," dec.—Dumfries Courier. Monday last, the Right Honourable WILLIAM IIUsKISSON, our highly respected Representative, ar rived at Seaford' House, the residence of Julia GLAD STONE, Esq.

A beautiful column of granite has been erected at Vincennes, upon the spot where the unfortunate Duke d'ENGII Et N fell, with the simple iuscriptioa—" Hie cecidit," in letters of bronze. _ _ The Marquis of Douno, the eldest son of the Duke 'f WELLINGTON, is still at Eton School, where he is reporte to be a youth of great promise, resembling the Noble Duke, 116 father, in person. The private letters from Paris state that the French Govet nment have forbidden all Brokers in the funds to soeculate, on the forfeiture of their license. Margaret Boag, from Dunning, has now been fully comm►tted to stand trial for the murder of Elizabeth Bowie at that place, uptiards of five years ago. A woman named Manning, said to be respecta bly connected, residing near Bangor Ferry, took her trial on Friday, for the wilful murder of her husband, by cutting his throat, which terminated in the ac quittal of the prisoner.—Chester Courar►t. Camberwell fair concluded on Wednesday, and that of Peckham commenced yesterday. There is at present in the Armagh County In firmary, a man who had a tumor removed from his right shoulder and arm, which weighs 9lbs.avoirdu pois--measures two feet in circumference at its largest part or base, and one foot at its apet or neck. It is of that description called adipous or fatty, and abounded with blood-vessels of very great size. The man is in a fair way of recovery. Wednesday night, the Victory public-house, in Ed ward -street, Battle-bridge, was broken open by some miscreants, who, after regaling themselves with the contents of the larder and bar, and killing a bitch, which was with two puppies in the wash-house, de camped with several silver spoons, and about 345. in silver and copper. Yesterday, the ship Ann, a West Indiaman, lying at Blackwall, delivering her cargo, was run foul of by the Hero, and thrown on her side against the Dock, when her masmsnapped close by the deck, and she immediately bilged and filled with water. For tunately no lives wete lost. BALLOONS.—III the campaign of 1793, the French Generals made balloons useful in military move ments. They had no less than 28 ascensions in Bel gium, and.at the battle of Fleurus General Mona - tan remained to o hours elevated in a balloon. He sent General JOURDAN two letters written 200 fathoms high in the air. They enabled him to gain a battle, upon the success of which depended the conquest of all Belgium. Three n omen partook of some cowslip wine, on Monday evening, the 4th inst. at Grimsby, which had nearly proved fatal to two of them. The wine had been put by mistake into a cask in which a solution of arsenic had been kept, and the beverage had -be come so strongly impregnated with the po►son, that it produced the effect almost as soon as it was taken. A Coroner's Inquest, which brought about the ques.. lion as to the right of surgeons opening the bodies of persons to particularize the cause of death, was held last night at St. James's Infirmary, Poland-street, Oxford-street, on the body of Thomas Morris, aged 39 years. The deceased had for nineteen years been a Serjeant in the 90th Regiment of Foot, but a few months ago was disbanded on account of an asthma tie complaint. On Wednesday evening, about five o'clock, he was passing Mr. Egg's, the gun-maker, at the end of Pic:adilly, and was suddenly observed to fall, when the blood gushed forth from his mouth in torrents, and life was fleeting fast, when he was taken up and removed to Mr. Alcock's, a surgeon, hard by, and from thence to the Infirmary. After his disso lution, a desire appeared on the part of the surgeon to open the body, stating his inability to get at the came of death otherwise. The beadle consequently .applied to the relatives for that purpose, who were repugnant to the measure, observing that the appear ances, coupled with his dissolution, certainly pour trayed that death ensued from a natural cause ; the Coroner was of the same opinion, and refused to grant any order for opening the body, and stated he believed it was against the wish ofJuries in general, that a body should be mutilated, when there was suf ficient rea•onable appearances to account for the cause of death; Mr. Lacon, Mr. Alcock's 'assistant, in his evidence before the Jury, was of opinion the deceased died from the rupture of a blood vessel. The Jury Were unanimous in the same opinion, and returned a verdict—Natural death by the visitation of God. THE ARMY. Major-General Sir HENZE Tames's, K.C.D. Adjutant-Go neral, &c. &c. has recently returned from Ireland, where be has been for several months superintending the instruction of the Troops in that part of the Unked Kingdom in his improved system for the Formations, Field Exercise, and Movements of his Majesty's Land Forces. The Rules and Regulations for carrying into immediate and general practice this uniform sys tem of discipline are now preparing for the Press, and will, it is expected, be shortly promulgated, by his MaJarrv's cons !nand, to the whole Army. • HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, JULY S9.—The Earl of DALHOUSIE, Governor-General of North America, arrived here in the Nova Scotia Government brig Chebuctoo, on the 3d instant, on a visit to his Ricelleney Sir Jams Kum, and the Proelnce. His Lordship was attended by Captain HAY and Mr. Manta, Aides de-Camp; Lieutenant-Colonel D1111)1110110, Royal Engineers; and Captain Paeans, 68th Regiment, Assistant Quarwrmaster-Ge neraL His Lordship has been received in the most affectionate and enthusiastic mower by all classes of persons. The Lieutenant-Governorship of Plymouth, and the *com mand of the Western District, which includes the Counties of Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset, exclusive of Bristol and its vi cinity, heki.by the late Major-General Sir DIMS Pass, K.C.B. are still vacant. The Lieutenant-Governorship of New Brunswick, which was held by the late Major-General G. S. SMYTH, remains also vacant. A detachment of the Royal Artillery, and some invalids, ar rived, on board the Success transport, from Quebec, and disem barked on the lath instant, at Portsmouth. The head-quarters of the S2d Regiment arrived at Halifax in i the Cato transport, on the 15th ultimo, front Cork, and was followed on the 16th by a second detachment, under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel RUWAN, in the Vibella ; both ships sailed again on the 19th, for St. John's, New Brunswick. The Brunswick transport, with troops for Halifax and Que bec, came into Halif.ix on the 16th ultimo, and sailed for her destination on the 20th. The left wing of the 2d Battalion of the 60th Regiment, at Halifax, are under orders to garrison Newfoundland, and to send a Captain's detachment to the Island of Cape Iketon; the bead-quarters of the Corps to be at Bermuda. When the several changes shall have taken place, the 52d Re giment, at Halifax, will occupy New Brunswick, and take all the detachments, as well there as in Nova Scotia and Prince Ed ward's Island, while the 74th and 81st Regiments remain un brukeu in the garrison of Halifax, These arrangements will de lay the return of a part of the 62d some weeks, by employing the transports destined for their conveyance. Friday, a number of Medical Gentlemen, connected with the Army, gave a dinner at the Waterloo Tavern, Edinburgh, in ho- UMW of Sir JANIS AP &RIGOR, Director -G I of the Army Bledical Department, who is now in that city Dr. Bucuaw, Deputy-Inspector of llospitals, was in the Chair : Dr. MACLA.• lAN, Physician to the Forces, officiated as croupier. About forty Gentlemen sat down to dinner, among whom were the Presidents of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, several ' Professors of the University, and a number of the most eminent' medical practitioners there. The eveuicg was•spent in the ut atom harmony and conviviality, and during the whole of it one common sentiment of admiration and respect for the talents and services of Sir Jamas 11'Gatcoa prevailed and animated all pre , sent. The dinner and wines were excellent. THE CHARTERS OF ENGLAND. That there might be a complete edition of the Sta tutes (which is now in progress of printing under the sanction of Parliament) the Royal Comm :sinners on Public Records caused the most extensive examina tions to be made. For the purpose of examining all Charters, and authentic copies and entries thereof— "A series of the Charters of the Liberties of England" being prefixed to this collection—two Sub-Commis sioners have occupied one whole summer in making a progress through England and Ireland, to every place where it appeared such .charters, copies, or entries, might be • preserved ; and searches have been made successively at every cathedral in England which was know to possess any such documents, at the Uni versities, &c. They have made some most valuable and interesting discoveries. Besides the rare Chan talaries, or collections of charters, found in Rochester, Exeter, Canterbury, and other cathedrals; in Lincoln Cathedral they also found 14 An original of the great charter of liberties,;ranted by King JOHN in the 17th year of his reign, in a perfect state. This charter appears to be of superior authority to either of the two chartertof the same date preserved in the British Museum. From the contemporary endorsement of the word Lineania on two folds of the charter, this may be presumed to be the charter transmitted by the hands of Hargb, the then Bishop of Lincoln, who is one of the Bishops named in the introductory clause; and it is observable that several words and sentences are inserted in the body of this charter, which, in both the charters preserved in the British Museum, are added, by way of notes for amendment, at the bottom of the instruments." In Durham Ca thedral, several charters of the liberties of England are preserved with great care, die Carta de Foresta, "2 Hen. 111. the earliest charter of the forest, &c. the original and all authentic records of which were sap ,posed by Blackstone to be lost. The collection of charters thus formed, will be found, as may be inferred, to differ from Blackstone's edition of the charters in many particulars, as well as from all other printed copies of the charters :- Ist, in exhibiting a complete series of the.charters of liberties, granted by the Kings of England, in which 'their original and progress may he traced until their final and complete establishment, in the 29th Edw. I. 2d, in procuring in every instance, a faithful tran script from original charters or entries thereof, in characters representing manuscript with its contrac tions or abbreviations, so far as the same could be ac complished by printing types; Sdly, in affording op., rituality to avoid many errors, which had crept even into the copies given by Blackstone, in his edition of the charters, &c. 4thly, in possessing charters not before printed, viz. 1. The Charter 16th John, for the free election of Prelates, &c. which is particu larly adverted to in the Magma Ckarta granted by that King ; 2. The first Charter of the Forest, granted 2d Henry 111. now preserved in Durham cathedral, &c. the existence of which escaped the researches of Blackstone. The hind upon Commonside farm, near Hawick, Cumberland, was last week gored to death by a bull. It appears that the unfortunate Marshal Ney, was an American by birth, was born near Elkion, Mary land, aad that his proper name was Michael Rodolph. His history is briefly this :—He commenced his mili tary career, and received the first rudiments of his education in Captain Lee's dragoons of the Maryland line during the Revolution, from which he was ha nourably discharged. He was born in Cecil county, in that State, and after the period of his discharge from the Army, he removed to Carolina, where he married, but his matrimonial connection rendered him unhappy, on which be left his family, took a vessel to the West Indies, remitted the proceeds, and declined returning to his native country, since which no trace could be found of him until the French Go. vernment, after the execution of Ney, took possession of his papers and made the discovery. SIR RO rJzr WILSON: LISBON. AUGUST c EXTRACT OF A LETTER .IROU TUT) AUtUST 3. " I inform yon that Sir Robert Wilson arrived, on the 26th ult. at Vigo, having come from Corunna by sea. Our ttodps marched out of this city with some Portuguese, and in an action which they had with the Constitutionalists of Vigo, they beat them completely, taking from theniabove thirty prisoners, some horses, and a great deal of baggage.: On out side we had only one man wounded; theConstitutionalists had some killed. On the SOth, 2000 French joined Morillo at Pontevedra, in consequence of which General Pa larea, who was with some troops at Redohdella, re treated to Puenteareas, from which point they are now dislodged, and the French in Vig o. 6 , General Morillo and the French troops entered Vigo on the 4th of this month, in consequence of which Sir Robert Wilson, who has acquired a mourn ful notoriety by his adventures and intrigues in Ga licia, and who has already been once obliged to quit the city of Oporto, has just arrived at this port, and is detained and strictly watched on board the schooner that brought him." • When the French entered Vigo, Sir Robert Wilson retired to the island of Ozmas, at the entrance of Vigo Bay ; from this situation, in which he was in much distress for want of provisions, he, with some com panions, was relieved by the English brig Nassau, which arrived here on the 7th. The Captain of this vessel reported himself from London, after thirty days voyage, having touched at Corunna and Vigo, to be laden with bale goods, and bound to Gibraltar with passengers, Messrs. Wilson, Erskine, &c. The names of these Gentlemen, of course shewing who they were, the Government placed a guard, that Sir Robert might not have any communication with the shore. It having been signified to Mr. Ward, the British Charge d'Affaires here, that Sir Robert wanted a surgeon to dress his wounds, which had been exposed for some days, he having so hastily left Vigo, that all the necessaries were left behind, the sur geon of the Arabella packet was dispatched to him.— Lisbon Papers.

Arrived from London, the Ant, for Gibraltar. The mall-bag, containing the letters for Deal, has been left by mistake at Gravesend, and has not yet arrived. It appears from a notification of the British Con sulate at Havre, that, at the request of the Consul- General of France in London, the Authorities of Havre, in future, will prevent all English subjects landing or proceeding from that port, unless fur nished with passports either. front him, from the French Ambassador, or Sons the Consular Agents at Portsmouth or Southampton. Captain Granger, of the Radius, who left Ma tanzas on the 12th ult. informs us that two United States barges, under the command of Lieutenants Watson and Inman, have succeeded in capturing a piratical vessel, and destroyed and made prisoners of the crew, about 40in number. The vessel captured is a schooner of 74 to 80 tons, and was foufid lying at anchor is Wapping Bay, about ten leagues W wind ward of Matanzas. As the barges approached her, she got under way, and commenced firing upon them. When the barges had got within about 50 yards of the schooner, the crews gave three cheers, upon which most of the crew of the pirate jumped overboard, and endeavoured to swim ashore, but were pursued by the barges, and about 20 to 95 of them were shot in the water. Of those who reached the shore, seven were taken by the Captain of the District, and marched to Matanzas, where they remained in prison, when the Radius sailed.—The schooner was also taken by the barges—she bad been employed as a droger from Matanzas, and was captured by the pirates about 15 days before, when on the way from Havannah, with a. valuable cargo, which had not yet been discharged. The pirates had just completed arming her for cruis ing, with a long tom on a swivel, and two tong six pounders. Her commander was well known by the name of Link Devils he was killed in the action. A large barge, which the pirates had stolen, was along side the schooner, and was also captured. The prise was pot to Key West, two days before Captain Gran ger left Matanzas. Letters from Matanzas confirm the above statement in substance, but differ a little as to particulars. One of them states that there were 60 pirates on board the schooner, five of whom were taken on board by the barges, 27 killed, and seven taken on the shore by the inhabitants. Captain Scrib. ner, from Havana:us, informs that two United States schooners arrived at that port oti the 14th inst. and brought information of the above capture. They re ported that 22 of the pirates were •killed, and sit ,taken alive. AU the rest escaped. • • - • . tPOIITiiva iNtttLiGtztiet BETTING Ai tonk O iihtbigEsrSAV: ithokeArrke ST. 1.7.4!ti11.

A Foot Race of an hour was run yesterday on the Edgeware road, over a two-mile piece of ground, between Lieutenant Ashley and Mr. Willoughby, both turned out good runners. It was for a rump and dozen, and ten sovereigns. lioth ran their first two miles abreast,- in eleven minutes nine seconds, the second in twelve minutes and twenty seconds, the third in thir teen minutes and nineteen seconds. Here the Lieutenant took the lead, and did the next two miles in fourteen minutes and • fifty seconds, leaving his adversary about thirty yarris in his rear. He kept his distance ahead, rather increasing during the re mainder of the race. The lieutenant won the match by more than a hundred yards, he having performed nine Mlles and a few yards over in the hour. A rousb.looklog chuntryman, in a smock froth, and very un like a runner, was brousht forward, to run a quarter of a mile within a minute. He was matched for Ave sovereigns, and when peeled, he threw of the clumsy disguiw. Proper watches hay int been set, he performed the task In one second within the Steen limo.

Soon after. another rabbit leapt into a pit foes - Ave feet deep, and was fearlessly followed by t h e same dog.
