By accounts from Dieppe, we learn the origin of the fracas on Sunday last, in that city, which has been exaggerated, but still will serve as an illustra 'ration of the feelings of the people towards the Eng lish particularly at a place where a mutt al attachment was supposed to exist. A private in the 11th dragoons enquired the price of a fish in the market? he was told a franc. 'Knowing that the fisherman asked only one half' from Others, the man Went away without saying a work lie had not gone many yards when the fisherman followed him, and with a violent blow knocked him 'down. This outrage was observed by three soldiers, who folloW ed the aggressor, and a pugilistic' contest ensued.— After giving a good drubbing to the fishermen ana his assisting associates, the soldiers retired to their quarters. There it closed ; but an hour afiewards another private of the 11th was carrying his forage or, hay avid sire's to his quarters, when a Frenchman , came up and struck him in the face, and heat hia>♦ untnercifiliy. One of the Officers observing Ulu outrage, immediately repelled to . Col.

A strong piquet could not he in stantly mustered, whilst the alacrity of the French. men was on the alert to meditate murderous destruc tion to the whole regiment by their language and geetUres. At this crisis the Mayor summoned the gong d'armes, when all further outrage subsided. The sailing of the packets has not been regular during, the past few days, owing to the 'boisterous seas.—The embarkations for France have been con. fined to Ne"httven.crom which port the Eliza packet, Captain Lind, sailed last night, with upwards of 70 paseengers. A smuggling vessel from Fecamp, by stress of weather, made a daring landing on our beach on Wmlnesday night. The violence of the surf 'toyed her timbers; but the alacrity with which her cargo ' was dispatched, has eluded the vigilance of the offwers, and their general search has hitherto bees unsuccessful. ~= ~'''~. - ~_ _ --_..

Yesterday was a joyous day for Margate, and its inhabitants appeared to hail it as a victory gained in the cause of suffering humanity vver a hold at tempt at oppression. The Sea Bathing infirmary, which wet an seriously threatened with annihilation, may now date the commencement of its prosperity from the result of the procedings at Dover. The Life Governors arrived here yesterday in their way to town, at four o'clock, in two barouches, with their horses and drivers decorated with blue ribbons, as indicative of their decisive triumph; the crowd who had assembled, anticipating their arrival, hailed them with acclamation. Scripture points out in : many passages, where " good comes out of evil," and the friends of humanity will not fail to view this case as one completely in point. Certain it is, that the j extraordinary and unprecedented act of refusing the pulpit this year, which has caused such a lively sen sation throughout England, will give a publicity to the institution, which it could only require to be patronised with a proportionate liberality to the ; most favoured charity in this country. We are all eager for the arrival of a publication from the able pen of Stephen Ellis, Esq. one of the Life Governors (though not one of those denominated "vagrants"). lie has promised in this interesting work, to give iu detail the correspondence between the Clergyman tied the Court of Directors, in older that the public i may know fully how to appreciate.his motives, when they are in possession of all the facts. A Special Court is also convened in London on Monday near, for the purpose of making the world acquainted with the whple of their proceedings. Mr. Bailey's rea sons have already been published ; they are very few, and will be found in Mr. Ellis's pamphlet. .One cir cumstance has just come to our knowledge, that is 1 almost is difficult to account for as the refusal of the pulpit. The Church at Minster has. always opened its doors in aid of this Institution, and Mr. Roberts, the Curate, had kindly undertaken to.preach a sermon ou the 17th September, and Mr. Simmons, the worthy Rector, has promised to preach in its be half nest year. The sermon was in consequence advertised, and numerous parties from Margate went over to assist it ; you may conceive their surprise better than I can describe it, when they were told the sermon must not be preached .for Ark institution, Mr. Bailey having written to the Curate; ,on the day previous (mark this), to say Mr. Sim-1 mom hid rewintled his promise, and if he had not received his letter to this effect, be, Mr. Bailey, made himself responsible for it. Mr. Roberts did not receive any letter from the Vicar. Now, it really don appear, that the acknowledged right to refuse j his own support (the propriety of which is about to be canvassed), does not include the justification Coi l any Gentleman who shall make himself a voluntary 1 instrument to dissuade others from the exercise of their kind Intentions to aid the funds of a charity.— The effect and example of such a practice we Id mi litate against the very spirit of genuine beneficience, and weld excite the just censure of considerate men. As the public have takeu such a lively and praise worthy interest its this affair, you shall occasioually hear of the progress made in elucidating this most extraordinary business. I N
