This officer and his men were cut cal from the town and In cede prisoners, at about 5 in:les' distance from • l'oato Bello. The enemy came down to that town unperceived, through the woods which Rank it closely on each side.

A con sidenible quantity of specie was found at Porto Hello. Five thousand doubloons u, gold wercdiscoverri in the cemetery a few days previetu to the recapture. Macgregor owes the preservation of his life to the bravery and presence of mind of one of his Aides do C 1.41111, Cornet Colelough, Belfast. This young man slept in di, next room to Gen. Macgregor, and upon hutting the rush of mot ascending the stairs seized a brace of pistols and his sabre, and met the assailants at the stair head, just Ipfore the door of .Macgrcgor's room. With the two 'pistols he had the good luck to ;rill a Spanish Colonel and a Captain, and he thrust his sabre throughahe body ofa third. All these three rolling down stairs itopoded the advance of the rest. Macgregor in the mean time leaped out at die window.

D'Evereux held a military levee at Morrison's, Dawson Street- Among the company present. which was nume rous and feshionable, we observed a number of fine women. The General. on enteaing the mum, was received wish a burst of ap- lause. Ile was accoinpaniedby hi: stall and the officers of the First Lancers of his Legion. At halfpast three Col. Lyster en tered, supported by a number of officers, bearing, by desire of the General, the new stand of cohturs fur Colonel Aylmer's regiment. General D'Evereux then addressed the corps as follows linotnEn SOLDIERS—This standard you will receive from the hands of a lady nisi admires the motives which prompt you to leave your country; and in the hour of danger. I feel satisfied that the recollection of this day will animate you in its defence, and stimulate you to deeds of glory. I trust, and sin convinced. I shall over heliold this stanttaril a pledge of your fidelity and your honour ; and that in rallying round it, you will also shed a lustre upon Ireland." tLood and reiterated cheers fellowed this address, which was delivered with grace and feeling.) The lady of Counsellor O'Connell, taking the colt ursfrom the General, addressed the Colonel and his Officers to this effect:— •• Gentlemen,—l have the honour to present you this flag. which I ant sure you will not cherish the less for being handed to you by an Irishwomen, who admires and loves those emotions of cotira;e and sentiments of liberality which bear you far from your native land. May success and glory attend your steps, and and happiness crewn your etthrts! This, ger.tleinen• shall be my sincere prayer." (Mrs. O'Connell was very impnssive, but was evidently much affected towards the conclusion of the address. which was followed by cheering and waving of hats. Seldom has there been seen, in a single regiment, so fine a corps of officers as those of the Lancers ; they were the admiration of all present. The General went round a vast circle, paying hie respects to his friends, and at a . quarter before five the Levee hroke up ; every one delighted w ith the imposing speaitele, so cheering to every friend of suffering humanity. An immense number of people surrounded the huteL According to an Act passed the ed instant, for amending the laws respecting the settleent of them poor, no person can acquire a settlement unless by renting a house or land of the annual value of ten pounds, and Ilona fide hired by such person, and the rent actually paid by him for a year. The la►furey transport, having part of General Devereux's Legion on board; put into Waterford on Sunday se*nnight, in consequence of a mutinous ►lis position which manife,ted itself on board. The dis content is attributed to the want of provision ; but this is contradicted by the Dublin papers, in which it is asserted that the Lafbrey has, by the express order of General Devereux, nearly double the quan sity allowed in the British transport service, for the same number of men fur a voyage of three months, though the voyage to the Laforey's place of destina tion is usually performed in less than six weeks.— Some of these men evinced a turbulent spirit at Li verpool, and were about to be dismissed the service, but on a solemn promise of future good uonduct they were taken on board. CARRIER PIGEONS. -•A letter from Brussels, dated' July 17, says—" Thirty-two pigeons, with the word Antwerp marked on their wings, have been sent to London, where they were let loose on the 11th of this month, at seven o'clock in the morning, after having their wings countermathed London. The same day, towards noon, one of the faithful birds arrived at home, and obtained the first prize ; a quarter of an hour later a second arrived, and obtained the next prize. The following day twelve others arrived, making fourteen in all. The prizes, which are very considerable, will be distributed to morrow (Sunday) at Antwerp. It is not with any intention of establishing a correspondence between London and Antwerp (as the Paris journals pre tend) that those pigeons were sent to London, , but merely fur the Rlessurc of acting them return."

On the night of the 24th of March last. I was at the Buf falo Tavein, until it was ohmic one o'clock, playing at cards. drinking swearing, and oemnitting all the sin and wickedness which this kind of company are in the habit of thing. • 13y this time my head began to swi,n with the effects of ardent liquors. so much so. that I could scarcely make my say home. I was just entering the gate of my house, when I received a blow on the head with a billet of wood, from the force of which 1 till prostrate en the ground. and lay , almost eensele.s for some minutes: when I awoke (coin my deliricrar. I began to conri der, and thought such conduct font a wife wa, too much to let pass unnoticed ; I 'therefore was iletennined to have revenge upon her, and in the sleeve. of half an hour, as near as I can recollect, 1 endeavoured with the .nut of my wound, to crawl towards the house, and the more is the pity. for the first thing that presented itself to my view was the wood axe! and being now prepanel, like a butcher going to slaughter, I came to the bed where my wile and three children were lying.— I did not hesitate one rucesent, bccan to cut and sled' among these four. while they lay sleeping ;—tile first was my wife—the axe VOW buried in her bosom f—the children clung so close to her that they were cut to pieces, and by this time the bed w:.l oveillaweil with human dance; the sound of these distressed sualere:e ettnned try other three children—alas! what must have been my feelings at this time? they began to he much coufneed ; lan I still pursued my slaughter until my wife and sic children lay dusting in their blond. The savage heart is never scistied ; after committing tins horrid act upon my own Mesh and blood, my two servants became the objects of my butchering heart ; they had sonic suspicion of my intention, and endea voured to make their escape through a back window in the lower part of the honee—tne old black woman being halt' in and half 0ut..1 ran with my axe and cut heeler effas she was goiag out at the wirahne ; her dam,l42, aho had a tender feeling ter her mother, came to nis and implored mercy from my hand ; bat no, the Devil would not let my savage soul stop here, but I immediately put an end to their existence; this being done. there then lay nine innocent persons floatirg in their own crimson gore. Still not hang satisti.sl with what I had already done, I first took the tan servants and built a fire in the kitchen fire place, which was large enough to hold half a quarter of tool, then placing the woman on the back part of the are, and the daughter on the front, I then went up stairs and brought down the bodies of my wife and children and blunt them likewise !" Mr. F. Robinson, Treasurer of the Navy, is ap pointed one of the Directors of Greenwich-hospital in the room of Mr. Rose. Our Readers will recollect, that about two years ago a siig t ilar bet was made between a Noble Lord, (Yarmouth) and a gallaut Admiral (Nagle), relative to an illustrious Personage going to sea. To decida the question, the gallant Officer gave the Noble Lord 50 guineas, with a proviso to teceive back one guinea for every league the Illustrious Personage sailed for the space of five years. In, the first year, the royal yacht ran 90 leagues, and pmbably this year she will sail three times that distance. nests the Naval Veteran is likely to make a good bargain for the unexpired term of three years. A deplorable event took place on the I Ith inst. at the gates of Rouen. M. P—, a rich monufite turer in that city, waif returning from the country with his wife, his daughter, a friend, and a female servant, in a four wheeled carriage, when a part of the harness broke, and the horse ran away. Mr. P. and his friend, endeavouring to stop the animal, were thrown out ; and the carriage dashed against the corner of a wll. Mr. P.'s daughter was killed on the spot; his wife was so injured as to be in great danger ; and the servant's life was despaired cf. What made the accident more lamentable was, that the young lady was about to be married to one of the ornaments of the French bar. An article front Tangiers, in the Paris papers mentions that the Emperor of Morocco, Mulev Soli man, lately assembled a corps of troops behind the river Sebon, fur the purpose of compelling the re volted inhabitants of the mountains of Toilla to pay tribute. Scarcely had the troops assembled, when those mountaineers, who are called Berberea, sur prised the Emperor's camp at night. The black guard of that Prince was almost entirely destroyed. His treasures, valued at 400 quintals of silver, twelve of his women, his private tent, and his baggage, re mained in the hands of the rebels. The Pacha;Go vernor of Tangiers, died of his wounds ; and Muley Ibrahim, the I.mperues eldest son, was wounded in the.head. That young Prince, it is said, escaped to Fez, through the exertions of some Moors who protected his flight. For ten days the Emperor himself was supposed to be kille.l. 1-le found his way, however, in diNguise, into Mcquinez, escorted by a single Moor who was with the rebels, and who havin. , been the first to enter his Sovereign's tent , informed e. hint of' his peril, and procured him the means of regaining his capital amidst the greatest dangers. Lady Stanley, travelling from York on Monday se'nnight, accompanied by her maid servant, was stopped by a highwayman, when the maid in her alarm took up a bottle of' ginger beer, and slit. c ork flying out made such a report, and so alarmed the highway-man, that he instantly galloped off. Saturday an extraordinary match against tine was performed by a blind poney, on Blackheath, for 50 guineas a side, The conditions of the match were, that the poney should perform in one hour. nine miles—walk three, trot three, and gu ll y.," time —which he did as under mentioned : Pint. he trotted three miles in 10 min. 50 WC.
