"a To the EDlll9lt of MN STATESMAN._ Stn—l hare jut returned from a short tour Ist the Isle of Wight, where I have met with some circumstances that I conceive call loudly for pub_ tic notice, I wan the conduct of the German of. ficers and troops lately landed in that island, be. longing to the now emigrant Corps of the liuke or BitominleiL OEM Scseral of these officers are at present quartered at the Bugle Inn, in New. port, where the Duke was also during the last week, and may be at present. Respect fur branch of the family of my Sovereign, will induce me to be as little strung in any expressiuus I may make use of, as I can avoid*, and the more so, as I am willing to believe the Duke himself a very meritorious imlividual. Nur will I canvass a qttestion that has more than once arisen in my mind, why this corps might not, with more expediency athl I.Pcokiety. have made good its retreat to the Ails_ ! trims head-quarters, rather than to the sea and ' this country ; bet if my recollection serves me I rightly,there was a letter addressed from the Arch. duke Ca anr.rs to the Duke of Beusseticx, which sippeared in the Papers Mine time since, complain. in of some irregularities on the part of his troops. The Morning Post would style this, na duuht, a French fabrication ; but what I am about to state is not a Hide confir.natory of its oollsertlicity. The con tents of the Paper to which I allelic may, therefore, help to explain, why we 114)11 find these men at the Isle of Wight syad of the Austrian head.quarters ; bat be this as it may,• I shall proceed to the subject to which I wish to dire , t your attention. You mot know them, that these Officers, to the great injury, as I understand, of the respectable landlord of the Bugle lon, New port, and the in. sufferable annoyance of his guests, instead of con. forming to the manners, and treating with orbs. pity, the inhabitants of the country where t ey hare sought an asylum, in deftance of all entreaty to the contrary, and 'tit the most offensive manner, iiisist upon smoking in the public coffee.room, ,and wherever else they think proper, even in theirbed-rooatt bqfure they get up ; and this they 114 to.suck an exteut, that n biting to have my breakfast about eight o'clock in use morning, found several of these men in the coffee -roots., all Of thein smoking to that itaukwalile degree, as to °be insufferable to any individual, however re.i.ote fruit affectation. Was there any r..metly ? Nu. they would du it. Was there any other room No. However after waiting some ti.i.e, I was ac. eiminpolated with a small dirty room, which the t aitt ltunt would not have shown me into, except for the evil I am coniptaining uf. I have already stated, that remonstrance has been wed, anti only met with insult and threats. When any of these ing.w.tiskerid offimrs conceive themselves offended, the sword is isista•stly drann. A little boy nou drove me, mentioned to me se. viral instances of scandalous coodoci ; he asked two of these efficers very civilly fur the oast'sl compen...tion expected by post.boys. and they deter their 'cords upon Isias ; on another inc.,. .ion they thought fit to gallop a hone unmet. cifully in a gig ; when remonstraiol with, the.' :guards are agate. draws : these acentinui, 'slid fig Astro observation of their boorish and otienaitte manners, made my &Wish f010..11 boil n ith best:v. nation ; and it at -once occurred to me to make •uch conduct public, iu the hope that it may meet, with a reined). The nuke of Bnortswlce ••. , ight well, indeed (as ne are told he did), call the linelish a gond teal'ired people, %% ben such insist&ra —. bl r and op., premise conduct is allowed to pass without ob. serration. I am stilling to make greet allowance for the national manners std customs of these people, but they should sot practicelitem tii the monttvanee of British subjects, and add insult likewise ; they should not intimidate the peareablo inhabitants of the country they fly :'or protection as entieranis, (I will not say outcasts) from their own, with big looks, anti menacing gestnrcs ; and if their manners are so incoriitiibty trorith, as 'IA to permit them ,to lire in (1,040 society, Wiwi , being our sii. noyanee, it is Ike duty of Government to confine them to themsehes. The eoutluct of the o:ficers, however, to which I leire-just alluded, is not the greatest evil: I sin aredibly informed the common wit have euoiroit I eii Great depredations, to the terror and alarm of the peaceable inhabitants ; that the roads acre some time wince considered dangerous to travel in eon. cequeitee ; that a report to Government was made, rand that the Doke paid his visit in couticrpience. if this be not Owe, let any one deny it, and I wilt produce my authority—lt is absurd to set:pose that such foreign troops ems b of any service to auy power : before the year is over, half of them may be under the banners of NAPOLEON. Such MAN can have no country ; anti the Power which will pay them (and I believe our Govern ment alone wouW), will command their services. I have so objection to confirm lu any manner what I haw **soled, and I hope you will feel it a subject deserving of your attention. I am, your's, &c. Leedom, Sept. 111, 11109. VIATOR. • Friday, the 15th inst. being the charter-day for the election of Mayor, and other priniipal officers fur the lowa and county Of Pont, a question arose on au assumed right which a certain part of the Ccitporationset up, respecting the nomination of the hipeetive officers, striating for themselves an exclusive privilege ; whilst the popular party insisted on the freedom of nomination and election, agreeably to the directions of the charter. A poll was accordingly demanded for every offie.r a. w there appeared very decided majorities -611 - 111:the question( in favour of the llurgesses of Riga: Thus, by the inflexible spirit and perseverance of the majority, every obstacle to legal investigatlow is removed; and it remains now to be asr.ettaintd i where the right d nomination. and ,eltetitin•ikarM constitutionally rest.
