INS. pre.— Thursday the Morning Star cartel arrived at Ply mouth from the coast of France. She sailed from Plymouth three days before with eleven French pas sengers, being permitted by this Goverment to return to the r native country ; they intended to have land ed at Morlaix, but on approaching the shore, and coming within hail of the battery, they were ordered to leave the coast immediately on pain of being sunk, and no intreaty could alter the determination of the Commanding Officer, who, it appeared, was acting under the rigid orders of his merciless master, and the vessel left the inhospitah:e shore. Notwithstand ing the great risk of opposing the orders of the Officer at the battery, one of the French Officers and a boy took the boat belonging to the Morning Star, and actually made for the shore, and they were seen to be fired on from the battery, but what became of them was not known. All the other passengers re. landed at Plymouth, among whom are two ladies : these passengers were lately captured in the Tigre,, bound from New York to Bourdeanx. " The cession and renunciation of a place, and even cf a province, may be tolerated, if it prove the means of terminating a bloody and cruel war ;—but the unheard of and astonishing renunciation of a great Monarchy in the midst of peace, without further notification to the nation, or assent on the part of the States of the Kingdom, than the annunciation of its having been derived from the mouth of a captive Mo narch, or perhaps alledged only in print, without ever having, been really effected, is so violent and extraor dinary a result, that no precedent of it will be found among the robbers of kingdoms in the annals of the ivoild. " The French papers have censured the conduct of England when' they seized our frigates, and the Royal Navy of Denmark! What have they to say now on the attempt of disposing of the 'whole Spa nish Monarchy, undei the confidence . of amity and alliance I Charles the Great, at the head of power ful armies, and ruling vast provinces, attempted to validate certain tides on this nation ; but Alphonso the Usage taught him in Roncesvalles, that Sove reign even of petty kingdoms, such as Leon, can overmatch the insolently proud.

To facilitate the effecereopemtions of these troops, iiiagaaine-z have been established at every important post, and all the lariotts resources of war have been distributed in pro per situations. The above Gentleman, on his way through Hol land, had ample opportunities of observing that great discontents prevail in ever/part of that country, espe : cially in the districts situated on the coast. The de basement they have -experienced in being made a province of France ; the annihilation of their com merce ; and, above all, their sons being dragged from them to serve in the French armies, have ex cited so much disgust against . the fraternity with which they have been afflicted,•that there is every disposition to shake off the yoke. But without a fo reign aid, which may now be nearer than they looked for, they could hardly hope so succeed in such an • effort. What with the determined resistance NAPOLEON has met with in Spain, and the force that will be re quiredagainst Austria, it will be no easy matter to recruit the French armies to the extent that will be 'necessary. Will the French Emperor venture to em ploy, at the present crisis, German quotas furnished by the•Fcederaticn of the Rhine ? His necessity must indeed be great if he hazard the expedient. Will he have recourse to the system of conscription in France, where the youthful population is already. nearly ex itausted ? In this also there is great danger. A gentle man recently from Paris, who was an eye witness of the drawing of the lottery of conscription, exhibits the most striking picture of its horrors. He describes the Hall of the Commune as filled and surround- ed with women, the wives. mothers, and sisters of the youths subject to the fatal ballot : and he says, that so repeatedly had the drawing taken place, that in the Commune in which he resided, there remained but 1400 names on the roll to be drawn, even by antici pation, for the year 1810. On the ballot it is not unusual to permit the women to draw out the names,' because they may be supposed to be lucky. But whenever the chance falls on a person of their ac quaintance or kindred, the scream of lamentation that instantly rises is petrifying to the heart ! And this is incessant, for the place being crowded with the relatives, the cries of the unhappy women, who are to lose their children, their husbands, their brothers, or their lovers; are dreadful .1 Will he venture to pro ceed to the conscription of 1810 Letters from ireineril& 6f the 6th July mention, ! that ever since the Abdication of CHARLES and Fan- DlVAltib i the people of the Canary Islands were in a great ferment, and manifested the utmost indignation at the conduct of BONAPARTE, opposing the icha of any submissiowto Emilie. As soon as the proceed- i • ings of the Patriots in the mother country were known, the whole population of the Seven Islands declared lo FERDINAND the Seventh—men, women, and chi': then, even the Friars and Nuns, yore the patriotic. cockade. A Junta was to take place at the city of Laguna, the capital of Teneriffe, to which every town and district of each Island were to send Depu- Lties, there to elect a certain number of the persons of highest local influence and consitieration to compose i National Junta, to which, it was certain, none. would be appointed, but men on whose firmness and integrity there was entire confidence. Notwithstanding the ferment in the minds of the people, the greatest order and harmony existed. No riots occurred ; no insult was offered, even to the Jew French residents. The Officers under the old Government were not removed. General CAGIGAL, who has been long Go vernor, ind under whom the Islands have prospered, particularly the mercantile interest, continues Com: mander in Chie£ A few days ago the Count de LILLE ( LOUIS XVIII.) had an audience of his MAJESTY, by sfig,:ial Wein:mesa, at the Royal Palace at Kew. On the same day the illustrious stranger dined with his Royal Highness: Monsistra, and all the other branches of the House of Bourbon' that remain in England, at the house of i Mosstgua, in South Audley-street. Mitcham Fair (Surrey) began yesteiday, and was I well attended by very decent company. GINOELL, Scow lON, and RICHARDsON'S Shows, in which most miyuing Tragi.Comedies were enacted and burlesqued, were crowded ; and Pouro's Exhibition of Wild . Beasts was as much so. The several sports used at' Country Fairs, with the exception of gaming booths, were allowed, and all went off. It continues two more days sand on Monday, gingling, wrestling. &c. will close the scene. Tuesday, the .annual boat-race of Deptford took place ; when six young watermen of that town ex erted themselves with great skill and dexterity, for aquatic pre-eminence ; and after three well-contested heats, which lasted till a late hour in the evening, the prize, a very handsome wherry, was adjudged to a young man. of the name of Brown, amid t h e noisy acclamations of the surrounding multitude. The victor was then towed backward and' forward, in the front of the town, and was escorted from thence to a tavern, where the remainder of the evening was spent in mirth and jollity. The forty-five pounds of English Bank-notes which were lost at Brighton, a few days ago, were found by Mr. Ward, Who manages the' Masquerades at the Opera House. Mr. Ward, by making it known he had tOund them, released the person who was charged with stealing them from Mr. Adamson, from the greatest misery. An action, it is said, in the C ourt of King's Bench, will be the consequence, for defama tion of character. r 7. r I , TLIE. ARMY.

The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has expressed his approbation of the exemplary conduct cf the troops composing the late encampment on the Curragh of Kildare, and General Orders have been issued to that effect.

The 2d Battalion, "low at Guernsey, is in a for. ward state of discipline, under that able Officer, Lieu tenant-General Sir JOHN Dorm There is no doubt , from the favourable report he has made of their state ofilis7ipline, they will be immediately sent on service. 1- • Lieutenant-General Sir HARRY BURRARD, who has etc ecmmand of the expedition to Spain and Portu gal, at his first entering the army in 1776, held a commission in the 60th, or Royal Am'ricans, in rwhich regiment - he - served seven years—he was thence I promoted to be Major in the 14th Foot. In these re giments he saw much actual service in America and the West Indies. In 1789, he excbanged into the Ist I Regiment of Foot ' Guards, of which he is now the Lieutenant Colonel Since that period he s•m - ved mi lder the Duke of YORK in Flanders ; and at Ostend, (where he was taken prisoner) he was the second in command under Major General CdOTE. He had a brigade in Holland, and served in the late expedition to Copenhagen. 1 Of the three Generals commanding the principal armies of the Corsican tyrant, in Spain and Portugal, namely, DUPONT, BESNIZRES, and Juscrr, the Erst only is a man of family. DUPONT was Aid-de-Camp to the Marechal Dc BRooLlo, as long ago as the year 1762, and acquired the esteem of that Commander tby his ability and talents. He is considered as one of the ablest officers in BC4;CAPARTE'S service. Be',":- SIERES s who has risen to the rank of a Marshal, was son of an accoucheur, not far from Cahors, in the pro vince of Quercy. At this time he is about 17 years of age, of a very libertine character. His devoted adherence to NAPOLEON is supposed to have con duced, more than his military capacity or services, to the elevation which he has attained. JUNOT is a natvei of Cr leans. His origin is too obscure to be traced; and, before the Revolution, he was a private soldier in the French Guards. At the siege of Toulon, early in 1794, ' be became first personally known to BONAPARTE, who there commanded a detachment of the Artillery. His A id-deCamp being killed close to his side, while employed in taking down a proem verbal, or notes of •the passing transactions, BONAPARTE called out to send him instantly-a person who knew how to read .and write. - .luso; then in the ranks, possessing ' these qualifications, was selected to fill the place of the Aid-de-Camp who had fallen. But scarcely had he written a few lines, which BONAPARTE dic tated, when a cannon ball, that tore up the grotmd before them, filled their eyes with dust —J, How fortunate !" observed JUNOT, with perfect com posure—'' I wanted some sand for my paper, and here it comes !" The rang fraid with which this remark was made, attracted BONAPARTE'S atten• tion, who certainly appears to have noticed and at. tached to him men of energy or capacity, from an early period of his political career. He demanded of JUNOT his name, and from that day retained him near his own person. He has risen ander his master to the summit of revOlutionary honours, dignities, and emoluments. At this time he is Governor-General of Portugal, Colonel-General of the Hussars, a Ge neral on the Staff, Governor of Paris, and Duke of Abrantes, one of the most ancient extinct Portuguese titles. His income, including the lands assigned him in Poland, does not fall short of 17,0001. sterling a-year. JuNor is in the vigour of his age, of a figure uricooth and vulgar ; his face seamed with scars, and his manners corresponding with his external appear ance. He married, nevertheless, a few years ago, an Albanian Princess ; and his decision, as well as capa city, authorise us to expect that he will not,let Lisbon fall into . = hands; without making a vigorous de fence.
