THE ARMY: That loyal and respectable corps, the Dumfries shire vennianry cavalry, were on Monday se'nnight inspected byColonel M'Mortno, inspecting field officer for the district, when they made a most regular and military appearance. Friday last the 50th Regiment of Foot left quer v.: s in Lewes and marched into the barracks there, Ivhere they succeeded the sth Foot, gone to Ireland Captain NORTHERN, of the 82d Foot, we are sorry to s tate, was killed about a month ago, whilst on gu ard in the garrison at Gibraltar, by falling over the ra mparts there. The General Court Martial again assembled yes terday at Chelsea College, hearing the detente of L'etitcriant WALTER WILLIAM LEWIS, of the 2d Rny al Tower Hamlet Regiment of Militia, against whom several charges have been preferred by C010u.21 u.21 SMITH, commanding the said regiment of Militia; the particulars of which have already been stated by us. Several witnesses on behalf of the prisoner were examined, amongst whom General THORNTON was one. The defence of the prisoner being then handed by Mr. BUM (his Counsel) to the Honourable CHARLES M‘NNERs SUTTON, the Deputy Judge Advocate, it was read by him to the Court in his usual impressive style. The whole of the proceedings being thus ended, the Court closed in order that its Members might de. termine upon their sentence on the prisoner, the re sult of which will not be made public till sanctioned by his Majesty. LOCAL MILITIA.—SamueI Evans, a private belong. to the West Mendhip Somerset Local Militia, corm coded by Col,nel ROGERS, has been convicted in itre penalty of R2O, for not having attended to the traininz and duty of the regiment when embodied, and not being able to pay the said fine, is committed to prison for six months. Joseph Chapel, a private of the West Gloucester Local Militia, has been guilty of a similar offence, and is also committed to prison for six months. A General Court Martial will be held, in a few dais, at Chelsea College, for the purpose of investi gating charges of a very flagrant nature, which are preterre . d against an Officer belonging to a regiment of mili tia. Samuel French and Robert Cockerel!, privates of &e Middlesex Militia, have been sentenced, by a MI- I:Ary Court M.trtial, to receive 500 lashes each, for des;rtion. If Naeoteom adheres to his declaration respecting the Berlin and Milan Decrees, there c in hardly be any difficulty even in point of etiquette, as to the revora ti,r, of the remains of our Orders in Council. The words of the French Minister's letter are In this new state of things, Sir, I am authorised to declare to you, that the Decrees of Berlin and Milan are revoked, and that from the Ist of November they will cease to be in force, it being understood that in consequence of this declaration, the English shall revoke their Orders in Council, and renounce the new princ•ples of blockade, which they have attempted to establish: or, that the United States, conformably to the Act which you have just communicated, shall cause their rights to be respected by the English." After this de. &ration on the part ef the French Government that their Decrees are revoked, and shall cease to be in force from the Ist of November, there is nothing that can reasonably prevent a declaration on our part, that the measures adopted by us, expressly on the principle of retaliation, should cease to be in force at the same time with the obnoxious decrees. From the conclud ing member if the sentence, it indeed appears that the decrees are to he revoked at any rate, provided the Americans cause their rights to be respected by the English. Any backwardness on our parts, there tore, must embroil us with the Americans, whom NAPOLEON now addresses in that tone of fulsome flattery which he so readily assumes towards those whom he wishes to bend to his purposes. REPEAL or THE UNION.—The Right Hon. HENRY GRATTAN and the Him. Mr. R. SHAW. the two Members for the City of Dublin, are to be delegated to present the Petition to the Me% praying for a Repeal of the Act of Union, and a Restoration of the Parliament of Ireland. BREAD.--There was no Court of Aldermen held this day : the Loan MAYOR, after inspecting the re tuins, ordered the price of bread to be reduced One Penny per Peck. There was an import into Liverpool last week of 22436 bushels of wheat, and 11,299 barrels of flour. T:.ere has been a remarkable good harvest this sea fan in Portugal. Some thousands of the soldiers have teen employed in getting it in. The shipments of linen from Ireland to the Ame. ncan market, have for some weeks been unusually great. - Three guineas per foot, have been asked by the Commissioners concerned in the new improvements at Westminster, for the vacant ground adjoining the , new Guildhall. Tuesday last, Mr. John Symons, surgeon of the dinhurgh Militia, was served with an indictment to ?Ice nis t r i a l b e f ore t h e Hi g h C ourt o f J ust i c i ary, for Lie murder of Mr. John Boyd, engraver, in a scuffle la the streets. Many persons have been reduced from a state of 'dependence to absolute want, from the practice of enterin g into extensive and dangerous speculations, in which a fortune must often be risked in order to gain tae ; but a prudent man will never speculate beyond his means. The only way in which a speedy fortune °IaY be made by a very trifling risk is the Lottery, and that which draws in October Next presents a more favourable opportunity to Adventurers than any that ever preceded it. At the poney races at Eaton there was tolerable sport, but an unfortunate accident threw an universal gloom over the rustic mirth. A scaffold which had been erected by some unskilful person, for the pur pose of seeing the races, gave way, with 200 people upon it, but luckily, unless from fear, and some slight bruises, no one received any material injury, with the exception of a poor boy, twelve years old, who had his leg broken. A subscription was immediately set on foot upon the race ground for him, and it met *ith general support.

The Vice-Regal party consisted of the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Frank fort, Colonel Rogers, Mr. Norcott, and seven of his Grace's servants—the other party, of the Officers and Privates of the 7th, (or Paget's Hussars). After a good deal of sport, the day was won by the latter. In the evening, the Lord Lieutenant gave a grand dinner to the contending parties, and several Gentle. men and Officers of other regiments, in a tent pitched on the field for the purpose. The concourse of spec tat Drs was immense. SmuNc-MATCH.—The annual Silver Cup and Cover given by the Proprietors of the New Ranelagl , Gar Jen, situated on the banks of the Thames, between Millbank and Chelsea, in honour of his Royal High ness the Prince of WALES'S Birth-day, was contended for yesterday by Gentlemen's pleasure•boats, not ex• ceeding ten tons. The following were the competi tors, viz.-- The Spitfire • 4 tons • Captain Noce Caroline - S rons - Captain FILLON. Mercury - 7 tons - Captain ASTLRY. Rival . - 7 tons - Captain Hors. Calypso - 4 tons - Captain FALLOW. Infantry Mary 4 tons - Captain Nu.suir. Henrietta - 5 tons - Captain ',awls. They started at five o'clock from Blackfriars-bridge, to go round a boat which was moored off Putney. The Spitfire got the start, and sheeted her sails, there being very little wind. She kept the lead within half a mile of the moored boat, when she dropped a-stern for want of wind and tide. The Mercury did not go farther than Battersea.—The Cup is to be sailed for over again this day fortnight. It is the handsomest ever given. It was decorated with blue ribbands. A military band was in attendance, and a great con course of people were collected along the banks of the Thames. We did nor. hear of any accident. The New Ranelagh Gardens were numerously at tended. The Rowing Match for a Wherry, given by the Members'of the Funny Club, this day, as the wager is to be decided at this delightful spot, will no doubt draw hither all the haul lon in town. BOXING—The match between Blake and Black was I l to take place this morning on the ground where Rich man and Cribb fought last year, near Margate.— The road thither was thronged yesterday afternoon with amateurs of the fist. slake is the favourite, at about 6to 4. The match is for 100 guineas. A most obstinate battle was fought on Thorney Downs, the seat of Colonel Uppage, at Thorney, r Hants, on Saturday, between George Hardinge, a professor of boxing, and a weaver, of the name of Benjamin, from Shropshire ; the former of whom was backed by the Colonel, and the Shropshire man by three master weavers. Flowers, the provincial bruiser, seconded Hardinge, and Jones, the pugilist, seconded Benjamin. The first round was a most tremendous one, each of the pugilists exchanged at least half a dozen facers, until the blood flew in torrents, and they fell from loss of wind. This system of fighting was kept np until about the ninth round, when Benjamin exhibited wmkness, but he gavehis antagonist a heavy fall in abo ►t the tenth round, when the combatants were alike worn out and disfigured. Neither could appear to time, and after waiting five minutes by con sent the corabat was renewed, and Hardinge won the bistue by science, atter a COMM of 40 minutes. ...... irdirzitniro PLicAttittei vixtb - • ....................1 • .

AUGUST 20.—Yesterdly, it rained with very little interval the greater part of the day. This is one of the finest days we have had for some time; and now that Canterbury Races are over, our visi•ors ate not only numerous, but in many instances of considerable distinction. Saturday, a meeting ar is held in the hmkruptcy of Messrs. 13micawmos and Co. The large apartment .n Guildhall, devoted to trials in the Court of King's Bench, was applied to this purpose, and was corn. pletely filled with persons concerned in the commis sion and creditors. On account of the great influx of claimants, it was found impossible to ex amine into the merits of their respective demands in th, enure of the day, and it was therefore allowed them to Foy& their demsnds, leaving the inquiry into the validity of their pretensions until some future opportunity. TJp wards of SOO proofs were admitted muter them cir. Saturday forenoon something was seen on the water at Dover, coming into the Bay fr im the Westward, which at first view had the appearance of a large yes. red, bottom upwards ; but upon coming nearer in, it was found to be a large Whale, which, after playing about in the Bay on the surface of the sea for a c ►n. siderable time, and at intervals throwing the water to a great height, took its course round the South Fore. land, and disappeared. In passing the Foreland, it seemed at one time to be very near on shore. A droll mistake happened in the Criminal Court at the Lincoln Assizes last Tuesday. Whilst three men for a burglary, at Wrangle, were on tri il, a Lady of respectability was by favour introduced to a seat be. hind the bar, immediately before the space ;it the court allotted to the audience : she was dressed in a habit and beaver hat, and her curiosity prompting her sometimes to stand up, she at last caught the obser vation of the Judge, who, deceived by her dress, ex claimed with indignation, why dal not that man take of his hat ?" The confusion of the Lady was ex treme : she sunk upon her seat, amidst the unchari table laughter of the whole Court ; not even the pri soners refraining from a smile at the mistake. A humorous repartee occurred at the Lincoln Assizes, in the cause Leaf v. Ring." Mr. COPLEY, Counsel for the defendant, maintained in his address to the Jury, that the case of the plaintiff was very in sufficiently made out, for he had in fact produced only one witness ; that witness was a bailiff, named Green ; the other person who had been called Mr. F. Johnson, the Bailiff's assistant, was bound to say what ever his principal said ; and therefore the two were, to the intents and purposes of justice, but one witness. 4 , What," said Justice Ghost, you look upon them in the light of man and wife, do you, Mr. Copley ?" Aye, my Lord, to be sure," replied the witty Bar rister, " and I will maintain against any man, that a Bailifand his bum are but onejlesh, all the world over I" The Court was convulsed with laughter. At the Cambridge Assizes, an action was brought by W. Wilkinson, who was rider and tits; king-groom to Sir SITWELL SITWELL, with whom he h.id lived in that capacity fifteen years, for defamation against Mr. OMERA, for calling him a " poison-water rascal," and accusing him at Newm:trket of having been con. cerned in poisoning the water at Doncaster, in conse. (pence of which imputations Wilkinson lost his ser. vice. The Judge, Sir JAMES MANSVIIILD, Wits Of mi. nion that the words were not in themselves actionable, nor sufficiently pointed to induce the discharge of plaintiff from the service of his master.—Plaintiff uonsuited. *I LEITH.

The Aibi•n. Dona moo ; anti Alexander, SCOTT, from Leith, arrived at Ma'ta on the 14th June. The Fox, STLWART, front the Clyde., arrived at Gilraltar early in July. Thursday last, the Meanwtll, huirti, of North Shields, coal-laden, in going out of Shields harbour, got upon the Herd Sand, near the bar, and the sea coming on, she lay in a perilous *minim% '1 he Northum berland life boar wee; to her assistance, taking, besides her own crew, twenty more bands to assi.t in lightening the ship ; but notwithstanding every exertion, she filled with water, and now remains there sunk. L'OR lENT, AUGUST S. This morning, At eight o'clock, the American gal liot, the Fi 1-1, arrived from New York, with an En voy from the United States. The privateer la Dame Ernouf sailed from Bet.• theaume-roads on the 23c1 July; the next day, she took possession of two Spanish vessels, one bound from ...ondon to the Cat accas in ballast, the other from Bristol to Cadiz, will some cases of coarse iron mongery, which were thrown oyez board. The first of these vessels was sunk. On the 25th, she took the English ship Starling,/ of 250 tons, from Martinique to London, with a cargo of sugar, coffee, cocoa, and liqueurs. This vessel was dispatched ti , r France, but no news of ber arrival has yet been received. The same day she attacked a letter of marque, and would certainly have taken her, but that la Dame Ernouf's mizen.mast was carried away at the very moment she was going to board. This and other damages received from the enemy's fire obliged the privateer to haul off tot repair. The nature of these damages not admitting of their being repaired at sea, la Dame Ernouf was under the necessity of returning to France. She arrived at Be. naudet on the evening of the 28th, after a severe chace from a frigate, which the great superiority of her sailing enabled her to escape. The English brig, the Fountain, ISO tons burthen, from Liverpool to Woodbridge, with a cargo of rock salt, was carried into Calais on the sth inst. She was taken within a short distance of Dover by la Jose phine privateer of Calais. s . Monday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, as a foreign vessel was steering for the harbour of Leith, and near to the beacon (with two pilots on board) a shot was fired from a boat, which the pilots imagined belonged to a Greenland whaler, and did not bring to. In a few minutes afterwards, a second shot was fired from the same boat, which entered the right breast of the mate, and of which wound he died in about 15 minutes. The boat belonged to the GALLANT gun brig, and was at that time rowing guard; the fatal shot was fired by HENRY LLOYD, Midshipman, be longing to the above vessel, who is since lodged in the Tolbooth, Edinburgh. The sufferer has left a widow and three young children. Tuesday a Court-Marshal was held at Portsmouth on Mr. HAMILTON BURKE and Mr. WILLIAM SYDNEY, the former Assistant Surgeon, and the latter acting Second Master of the VIOLET lugger, for having been concerned in the introduction of spirits into the said lugger, contrary to the 18th Article of War. The Court were of opinion the charge was not proved, and adjudged them to be acquitted. A Court-Martial was held at Portsmouth on Thurs day, on JOHN Mats, armourer of the SARPEDON, for occasioning the death of THOMAS COLLINS, carpent.i's mate of the SARPEDON, while examining a musq ler, which went off. The Court having agreed that the musquet accidentally went off while the prisoner was new Rioting it, did adjudge him to be acquitted. a
