THE STATESNLti\-. Martha' appeared afflicted, but persisted in fighting Bonaparte. The witness returned to Besancon. General MPrnset deposes, thai he was put under arrest by the Marshal on eccouiii of orders which he had given for the service of the King. The Marquis de Sorting, Aid-de-Camp to Mon b; eu r, was on a mission to the Duke de Beni. Ile net with Marshal Ney, who took him to Louis le *Saulnier. The disposition of the army seemed trou. bled. The Marshal encouraged Afterwards the 'Marshal received the rrorlaniatinos of Bona parte. The witness set out agaia on the 13th, with Di.patches from the Marshal, which seemed to evi:ice t he be.t disposition. (most de Scey, former Prefect of Doubs, deposes that Marshal Ney arrived on the 10th of March et ilsaticen, need demanded of him 15,000 francs, etlich he refused to give him. Since that period he has only received one letter from the Marshal. Marshal the Duke of Reggio deposes, that he re ceived in the month of March, two letters for the Marshal's lady, and that she will produce them. M. Gander, former Mayor of Dole, declares, that h av i n g been admitted to an audience of Marshal Ney, he heard him hold forth the moat incendiary discourse against the august dynasty of the Bourbons; that t h e Marshal ordered the city of Dole to be illumi nated, and circulated'the Proclamation which he had read the evening before at Louis le Sounder. The w it ne ss eras to have been arrested, but for 32 days be wandered about in a forest and avoided it. Ile thinks that the 151ar,.hal might have put a stop to the ee:terprize of Bonaparte. Lieutenant-General Count de Bourmont deposes, that on the sth of March he knew of the landing of u,,roparte. He put the troops in march from Be sancon to Lyon;, at the orders of Monsieur. From the 12th to thee 14th, he WHS under the orders of Marshal Ney, at Louis le Saulnier. The Marshal told him that Bonaparte must be beaten. Ile gives ate versant of the measures which they took in con cert for that purpose. On the 15th the Marshal read to hire a Proclamation, which he was about tee publish. Witness opposed it with al! his power, and en deavoured to bring the Marshal back to hisduty to the Kiel. The Marshal read the Proclamation to the 'Writers, which woes followed by cries of Vise Ic Ern perm- ! The witness thinks, that leaving takete the up..,esiary plecautious, had battle taken place, the troop , : would have remained faithful to the Kieig; but the Proclamation overthrew se ,ry thing. The subordinate Officers overruled their superi!ers, and the G en e r als, many o f whom withdrew. Count de gourmont, in his deposition, mentions the Officers v. ho remained faithful to the Ring. The deposition of the deceased Marshal Lecourbe saw. read. Ile sirs at his country house of Ruffey, %hen, on the Oth of March, he was informed of the landing of Bonaparte. He repaired to Marshal Ney at Louis )e Saulnier. The Marshal gave him the cq r nmand of one of the two divisions which he form ed. l'he Officers were well disposed. On the I sth f Match, the Marshal assembled his Generals, and paid to them, there sas no longer room for he sitation—they must join Bounparte. The Marshal paid no attention to the observations of de Hour moat and the Deponent, hut read to them his Pro clamation. Witness sas near the Marshal when he read it to the troops—it had the must fatal effects; but the eit cress adds, they were at this time too near Lyons to he able to restrain the soldiers. M. de Beau rea rd, Commander in Chief of a aqua then of gen 3 trurtiterie, said, that after having read li' Proclamation to the troops the Marshal end,raced er-rs !Indy, Ole soldiers, the fifers, and even the dimmers, and tried, but in suit), to make the wit nes.: cry nut, Vke l'Empercur ! Le Bunn Capella, Prefect of the Ain, affirms, that C.iliorals liourmorit anti Lecourbe, and Mn N..% hifit•elf told trim that the return of white roncerte.! between %la rsha I Ney , nutter Mar:dsk, th.• Niiiticter at War, and Madame Hortense. The cif Of testis was first thought of, but hay. a.ceriaitted that this Prince would not Wild hint ali to the projocts of the conspirat! , rs, they were to accept the proposals of :11a.1ame Hostense. The Prefect of the Creuse deposed, that he had t, , titied to the 11arshal his firm resolution of re "intim faithful to the Kind, and that the Marshal to " you commit a fully," adding to it thle.:Pous expressions against the Plinces, which t. cp,oet G,r these august Personages, says the Prefect, .Sill not allow me to repeat. The Marshal concluded t' is interview by these words pronounced in a loud spice, " we must hare our Dynasty." Ahoy oii cr depnciiions were read, tentlin; most ly to show the guilt of the accused. Nothing aiiile:,n•d to prove that he had received or demanded , uot.ev ht fore he left Paris. /Orr the reading of the depositions, the Sitting was ' , "linuritell to the following day, when, it is said, h.P goection of the cvmretency of the Tribunal will L. first disynsrd of. .1-Led Ney was not present at this first first which was attended by many foreigners of ai,t;h t tint', amongst whom were Prince Metternich Lord CaAlcreagli. Nil., NOV in.- - A company of the National f;"' ..f . l'',,n;toti,e W as ordered into the commune Id '. 4.•;inx, .n disarm the i•... , p1e and to arrest some .' • ' l'ls wh.. i.4tl rendered themselves notorious. 11 .* , !:;: discoseietl in the house of the Adjutant of l 'j ti tliese characters ; 3Glllh and a tricoloured flog, they took them away. The white fig was im mediately hoisted 'Ton all the public builditigg, and six persons'were arrested and brought to Thoulouse. A Dutch Mail arrived to-day. The intelligence from Brussels now states that the Duke of WEL- LiNoTow having been chosen tty the Allied Sove reigns to command the united armies which will re main in France, in execution of the Treaty, will esta blish his heed-quarters at Paris, where he will remain all the winter. It is, how•eter, belitsed, that selectl branches of the military administration attached to the grand bead-quarters will be transferred to Brussels; • where, immediately after the occupation of the for tress of Valenciennes by the Allied troops, the Prince of ORANGE will establish his head-quarters. A private letter of the 7th inst. (torn a French Gentleman et Calais to a near relative in London, and'of which we subjoin, an extract, represents the unpleasant situation of that part of the country : r• You are in a happy country : ours is truly distract ed. We are all over France called to arms. We have 300 in this small tone exercised erety day from two to four hours. Government finds arms, we our clothes, which ere blue, faced with red.— Poor France! All seems combined to ruin thee ! 'l'he King talks of leaving Paris fir Lisle, and says he has no controul in Park. Our unhappy country is more military than in BONAPARTE'S time, though not half organized. Its his time we generally knew the worst ; but now quite otherwise. Our country and trade is exhausted ; and what is still worse, there are apprehensions rf another Revolution— which Goe forbid ! But why all this arming, if there is not 'something dreaded or expected." The New York Courier of the 6th,•has the fol. lowing extract from the National intelligene..r:— " We are • sorry to perceive from the Weste►n Papers, that though the savages at Detroit have re ceived she news of peace with much apparent sin. cerity and satisfaction, ill blood continues to exist in another quarter. The British on one side, and our people on the other, at Detroit, are far from being cordial to each other. The•Btitish soldiers desert to our territories whenever they have an op. portunity, which irritates the lir; islt Officers, who do not conceal their feelings. On a recent occasion, it appears a British guar. - 1 pursued some deserters within oar lines, searched houses, stationed guards o;t the road, one of whom fired at an American citizens. Juilly enraged at this outrage on our So vereignty, it is stated that our citizens took up ara►s and pursued the aggressors, (torn whom they took an Officer, who, it is said, is to be held in confine ment until the British release a man, one of their deserters, whom they seized 'on out side, and ear lierl off with them." A letter from Falmouth mentions the following circumstances:—" The brig hula is arrived with Mails from New York and Halifax ; at the former place, which she left the 2Stli of September, she lost no fewer lb In ten of her men by desertion, in spite of all the eseitions of the Commander, Capt. Jo- LIAN, to prevent such disgraceful proceedings." According to the latest adviccs from Lima roceivrd at Cadiz, the whole of Peru remained in the quiet pos session of the ltoyaiiits. . _ The Aurora has arrived at Cadiz from South Ame►ica, and the Rosa was daily expected. These ships have together about a million of dollars on board. It is asserted, that the artillery, muskets, and ord nance stores, taken by the English and Prussians on Montmartre, and the environs of Paris, have recent ly been divided, and the share allotted to the English, consisting neatly of one thousand tons, is now in barges or craft going from Paris to Rouen, whither two ships, sent by this Government, are gone to fetch the stares. The official dispatches from the Mr! of Moista, relative to the terniination of the Nepaul war, reach ed town on Friday, and were forwarded to the l'aiNce REGENT, in Staffordshire. They will ap. pear in Tuesdny's Gazelle. We are assured, that besides the forts and territories ceded to the East India Company, a free communication over land, through Nepoel and Ta►tary, to Chill 4, has also been obtained. The Noble Earl and his suit were et pected to arrive at Calcutta, front the interior, in the first wank iu October. Last Saturday, Mr. M.tuRICE MARGAROT 6111S11Pd his earthly career. After being the sport of the fickla Goddess Fortune, his spirit took its flight from the much decayed day tenement, at the ad vanced age of 7Q years. Covour-G sunex Tite.tree.—On Saturday even. ing Niiss O'NEILL pi , ' formed the part of Elminu. in Ali , s 11. 111ootte's retired Tragedy of Percy. The acting of Niiss O'Nui.r. gave the Piece, meagre as it is, the highest interest. Although it was impossible to render the whining of the commencement pleas. lag s w hei ever the passions came into play, She electrified the spectators. tier dying EMU. was dreadful. There is this peculiar in Miss O'NEtt,t.'s mode of dying on the stage—that she seldom or never fails to expire in agonies. This, no doubt, is sometimes inevitable; but, as a uniform practice, we deny its conformity to ph) sical truth. Were we to push the matter rigorously, we might say it was ilijerious iii its moral operation. There is tia other portion of the admirable performance of this great actress, which we conceive liable to candid dissent. Mr. YouNG's Douglas is not his happiest effort : he now acid then seems to be deficient in energy— front being too generally boistrrou•, lie leaves himself without a reserve of occasional and necessary vigour., The Percy of C. KEMBLE is a termagant hero. This actor cannot carry every thing by storm. There is 110 character that requires—there is no spectator who can tolerate—a perpetoal shaking of the head. and stamping of the font, and windmill exercise of the arms, and papermill splitting of the lungs. Nature ha♦ been kind to CHARLES KlibißLE, in all the este. tier qualifications for the stage; and, we believe, in many of its inipllectoal requisites. Ile abuses the former by lavishing, and the latter by forbearing to apply them. lie has therefore a double subject of reform. The other personages need not be particu larly noticed.

It is for the Miller to explain why he forces the Baker to levy an excess of 57 per cent. from the consumer ; and as this, possibly, may be an irksome task, there remains no remedy, except the wisdom of Parliament should interfere by renewing the investigation next Snlion.

ADVCRTI4EMENT.—A Reward of 50 Guineas is offered by Messrs. COOPER and Co., Surgeons, of Charlotte-(louse, Blackfriars'-road, for the dis covery of the Author of a Letter sent to the 111e.lical Board. We have seen it; the language is that of a Quaker, and bears the Walworth Post-mark—a more scurrilous arid invective in strument we have nerr•r witnessed, and hope, for the honour of the Profession, it will not prove the effusion of a Medical Mao—if so, it must aria , from a grovelling jealousy at seeing a Soalety of independent Gentlemen, of the first respectabili ty. appropriuting a large portion of their time in al leviating the distresses of individuals, aho may have consulted men ignorant of the Profession : we are at a loss to conceive the cause for such a libel. Per haps so me of the Author's patients have expe rienced relief from the Medical Board. We are au therised to state, that Surgeon COOPER and Co. Are' consulted every morning until nine o'clock, and from twelve till eight precisely. .. _ Consi-Evcut %Ga.

On Sunday Baker had a triflin g / return of vomiting, Re. a hich a holly left during the morning ; and by the aid of medicine and nourishing refreshment, he was so far recovered by the after noon, that he declared his health to he better than at any time during his journey. Every obstacle seems now removed against Bakers success, and of his accoma plishing the task there is not the least reason to en. tertain a doubt. Baker, as on last Sunday, sub.. stituted shoes for his half hoots ; but in the after. noon he again appeared in his three pound and a quarter boots, as they alone sit easiest to his feet.— During last week his half boots were heel-pieced, and it appears they will want it again in a few '12)9 4 as he treads very heavy on his heels.

Sir SAmcsn. Rom cuY stated dun this was an O. plication on the part of the Plaintiff, praying that the Defendant might he elllcßred to pay into Court the sum of 1,7991. 7s. 9d. received by him, ecthe Accountant-General, for the set of the Plaintiff, in a cause of Scott and Coventry, eel also the sum a 5.101. received by the Defeaaletst in a CRON' of MLitt. anti Coventry ; and in default thereof, that an at tschment might be i:sued, and that the injunction formerly obtained by the Plaintiff for restraining the Defendant from receiving the accruing rents and profits of a certain life estate might he revived.— The Learned Counsel said, that by deed dated March 22, Ifo6. the Defendant assigned certain dividends to the Plaintiff as a set urity for monies due to him; but a compromise was afterwards entered into, by which the I/et . ..Mont agreed e..pay to the Plaintifffite AVM of 2,8001. and costs, in satisfec. tion of his debt. In consequence of this arrange. ment the Plaintiff consented to an order to dissolve the ittjuncion which he had obtained against the De fendant, upon the solemn pledge of the word and honour of the latter, that he would pay over to the Plaintiff the monies to which he was entitled in the above mentioned causes. At the same time it *as agreed, that the Plaintiff should deliver op the deed of 1806 ; and these special circumstances being stated to the Court on the hearing of this cause a decree was made, that the Plaintiff .hould receive the said ft% o sums of 17991.7:. 9d. anal 5101. The Do. fendant, however, had since refused to pay over those monies to the Plaintiff, alleging, not only that the deed of 1806 had not been delivered up, het that he had mid several sums to the Plaintiff anti 14s Solicitor, amounting to 12001. It appeared, how ever, that the deed had formerly been placed in the hands of Mr. Phillipson, the Defendant's Solicitor, who afterwards absconded, but it was now forth. coming; and it could not be proved, that the De. fendant had justified the debt of the Plaintiff. Mr. Hoer. said that the Defendant was nom a prie goner in the Fleet, and had made it a matter of boast, that just berme he received the dividends, he had borrowed nil the money of the Plaintiff, and had left him penny less. Mr. listr, on the part of the Defendint, sub ' mitted that this case was not iii a condition in which his Lordship could take cegnitance of it. The Loon Cuascer.t.oa said, that the suit was not out of Court ; anti if the Court bad granted all injunction to prevent a person from recciviu resit, and prents, and there sta , .. motley in the Acctirnteant- General's hands, which 1113 been ob!ainell by fraud, it %null make hint In the motley hick, awl re. tire the inj%cluti.m.
