Mall of the letters were absurd and ritlicu- i on s. One from an old Count and Es-General who heard that Marshal Ng , / had called the Boutteoras r otten branch of Royalty, that they were only fit g overn the Iroquois, lics. this produced a laugh , •1 the Court itself as well as the conclusion in which t he author eapreased his devotion to be such, that if b e King was to order him to retire to his estates, he wo.ild leave Paris with his carrriage filled with Pro. cl•nnations of the greatness, the goodness, and the „i.d o m of his Majesty. The reading of the pieces finished at twelve, and the Officers of the gens d'armerie, in attendance, were ordered to introduce the Marshal : in an instant every one rose from his rat, to get a glimpse of the hero, crowned with g lory and misfortune. Marshal Jovansar ordered all to be seated, and all persons turned out, who gave any s of approbation or disapprobation, and w h o did not pay the respect due to the Court end to misfortune. At length the Marshal ap. peare.l, the gens d'arrnes presented arms as he passed.

MARGATE, Nov. 15.—A stout ship is this morn ing observed to be on shore, supposed on the P4ll Sand; she keeps frequently firing gusts. The wind blows strong at about N. N. W. The only large boat that could be got front hence, has with great difficulty been got out of the harbour, and Is now working up to the vessel as fast as she can. PENZANCE, NOV. 13.--The sloop Providence broke her cable, and drove to the Pier Head, but was there stopped by another anchor and cable. The ship Delhi, that has been on shore some time, has suffered much ; if the gale continues, she must go to pieces. LIVERPOOL, Nov.

The case of the Du. chess of CUMBERLAND, who has been lately brought over to this country, at thr. lotercession of distinguished characters, has already excited con. siderable sensation in the fashionfible circles; and het abrupt seclusion from public society, has berome the theme of much colloquial discussion. We hive seen her ostensibly sanctioned by the highest au thority in the kingdom, and in the face of tie highest dignitaries, legally and constitutionally engrafted as a branch of the Royal Family; yet, notwithstanding these preliminary d emonstrat i ons o f f r i en d sh i p, which appeared to indicate a cordial reception into the Fa.

Nov. 10, 1815. A LOVER OF FREEDOM. nauttar-LAse..7!ICATRE.—Lect bight a new farce, under the title of Who's Who, w as hrouell for ward at this Theatre. Two old Gentlemen had 111.1_ tined their son and daughter for each other, aml died, leaving it to two guardians to see this design rid. filled, under a severe penalty, v% .—the lass of their hole fortune—to attach tit;olchever of the young parties should refuse the connexion offered to them. Neither guardians nor young folk. himr ever met—but the lady and gentleman having formed other views, before the above match is proposed to either,—they are driven to a succession of coarse and overstrained, though highly ludicrous strabigeors, at once to avoid the marriage aitil escape the penalty. Sluence, in the character of Sam Dab, an apntlie. cary's slmpman, plays off a two-fold deception upon each of the guardians, whom he personates alternately, to hoax the other. By a series of complete manoeuvres, the earl of one of them receives the written consent of both, marry the girl lie loves; which leaves his betro:herl fare one at liberty to pl.'ase herself in the name was.
