He has nothing human eitou't him, but his form; he may be shout fifteen • • years old, is dumb, and, as it Seems from surgical • . examination: deaf too. He shows no desire for any thing hut fond, which, when be was found, consist , 'ed of roots, grass, and tiro*. ; he will •not beer any kind of clothing ; . seems nimble to walk upright ; and 'sits and lies in a.contracted position. His skin being little injured; and his hair cut before, seems to indl.; , '• cite that this unfrtutiate being has not lived always . 4 1 in the wood, but probably has not long escaped • front his keepers on the other side of the frontiers, or been exposed by them.

Oar course of Exchange, which, in the course of elite summer, had risen to 252, has fallen again, and was yesterday at 'l3l. • Bitualus, Nov. 1-I.—Lieut.-General Trip went : • yesterday morning to receive, at the frontiers of the lingdom, the Emperor Alesander, who is expected here to-morrow, or the day after. The King of rrnssia is also expected every moment. A semen?, Nov. 14.—The news of the escape of Napoleon has been circulated in this city since yes ierdny, and it is presumed that the persons arrested lat• Brussels two days since, might be concerned.—, The silence of the English Goveetiment respecting the dispatches which it has received from St. Helena, is the more extraordinary, as it serves to give credit 16 the reports, which, though very improbable, toeeertheless, fitol. credulous persons to believe them. • Ilxionnrec, Nov. 6.—We have received the un hpec,ed news that the Bavarian corps, which is at pseseut marching out of France, will not pass through the Palationte, and that it will remain iu the province . wn the left batik of the Rhine, which is now under the dominion of the King of 134varic General bela tiaott •, who has hitherto commanded this corps, will be Ylilitary Governor of the Bavarian iveiseillte iIR ' lhe Rhine, and will have his head-quarters at Spires.' Allahe principal towns of that province will h a , e pythons, and that of the fortress of Landau will be 'considerably augmented. .--131tOisaLs, Nov. 7.—Lieet.-Genecal G. hlarray, Chief of the Staff of the English Army of Occupation, peblished on the Ist Of this month, at the Heed , leettate at Cambray g the follnufing ORDER OF THE DAT. •*" Field•Ma Taint the Duke of Wellington cannot take leave of the troops whr;m he had the honour to itti commn g la ithout eapresssing. , to them his gratitude for the good conduct which has distinguished them during the time they have been under his orders. It is now nearly three years since the Allied Smereigns• confided to the Field-Nlershal the chief command of that part of their forces which circumstances rendered t necessary to keep in France. If the measures 'which their Majesties commanded have been axe , culled in a manner to give them satisfaction, this te nth must be wholly attributed to the prudent and en. lightened conduct manifested on all occasions by their Excellencies the Generals commanding in chief,. •to the good example which they have 'given to the other Generals'ind Officers who were subordinate to them, as well as to the efforts of these latter to • second them, and lastly, to the excellent discipline which has always prevailed in the contingents. 44 It is with regret that the General has seen the -moment arrive when the dissolution of this army was to put an end to his public connexions, and his private relations with the Commanders and ether Officers of the corps of the army. The Field-Marshal deeply feels how agreeable these relations baie been (..him. He begs the Generals commanding in chief to receive end make known to the troops under their orders, the assuracce•that he shall never cease to take the most likely interest in every thing that may concern them; and that the remembrance of the three years storing which lie has bad the hottour to be at their head, will be always dear to him. • • (sitnea) " D.

The Emperor of Austria, Without being in uniform s was likewise its boots. All the Ministers, Ambassadors, and.

The Duke of Wellingtoo and Lord Cesitereagh wore the Blue Riband and the Garter ; the Duke of Richelieu wore the decoration of the order of St. Es; • ; and Prince Nletternich was neatly covered with stars and rihands. The Ladies vied with one another in the richness of their dress and jewels. — The Princess of Tour and Taxis wore a coronet of, diamonds, besides bracelets and necklaces of the same precious stones; the Princess of Salms.Dyck was nearly as highly adorned ; and Lady..Citstlereagh at tracted general admiration to the sptendosr of her -dress and jewels. All these distinguished persons joined in the prrimetrade.

The absence of these Noble Lords from the Cabinet weeld, of course, produce an effect upon the politicatbtale of the country. The Cabinet is known to brat pre fent divided in opinion upon the Catholic Question. The late QUEEN is reputed to have sanctioned by her approval, the sentiments entertained on this subject by the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Lord ELDON but it would be at present futile to enquire how far her MIAMIeI demise might be cAlielated to influence the fate of the Roman Catholics. The sceounts from Aisoda•Cbapetfie otattirlhot tAo Emperor of RUSSIA and the Mug of Purim were to set out from thence on Tuesday last for Brawls. The Emperor of A USTRIA bads's° filed his.depatitore for Munich for the same day.

The Emperor of Russia was to give a parting dinner on Sunday last to the Emperor of AusTeta, and the Members of the Di plomatic Corps. There were, it Is said, to to no more conferences, it being understood, with regard to the affairs of Germany, that certain principles having.been agreed upon, they were to be recessed either to the Diet, to Special Committees. or to the Sovereigns whom they concern. Ile Emperor of RussiA, since hi first arrived at Aix-la-Chapelle, is said to have received neatly 8000 petitions from* ferent parts of Europe. The Duke of WELLINGTON has been eppeuseens Field. Marshal of the Russian Empire. Paris Papers to the 18th, and Mails from Hol land, Flanders, and Hamburgh, have arrived. Tb. Paris news is nut of any particular interest. On Tuesday there was to be a grand dinner at the Thai ries, in honour of the King of FWANCEIS birthday, who a 01/ that day euteteti his G-Ith year. At this tit. . . ~. ~. _ .

The llutcl► Papers militia the 'copy of a Farewel Address which the Duke of Wcr.. • t.twwrom his issued on relinquishing the commmand of the late Army of Occupation, in which he thanks the Commanders of the respective Contingents, for the prudent and enlightened conduct which they had .manifested upon all occasions, and for the excellent discipline which they had maintained among their troops. It is supposed that the negotiations re peeling the territorial divisions of Germany, will be speedily resumed at Frankfort, upon the basis agreed to at the Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle. In the Jamaica Papers, which have been received to the 18th ult. intelligence is said• to have been re ceived from the Smartish Main, by the circuitous route of Cuba, of a battle having been fought between the forces under BouvAtt and the Royal Army, commanded by Gederat Motw.Lo, near the River Oronoco, in which the former was defeated with great loss; hut that retiring upon his reserve, a second engagement took place a few days afterwards, in which the Royalists were most deci sively vanquished ; and that General Monrcr,o was taken prisoner, and, with many of his principal Of ficers, shot four hours afterwards. Had this account been well foinded, we should certainly have - had some intimation of the alleged battle in the recent advices from Trinidad. These Papers also. mention the arrival of (he Andromache British frigate at Lima, to protect our trade in the 134cific. The American Pipers, which have arrived to the 22d contradict the report of a battle between CURISIOPHE and BOYER, on the authority of the Master, of R vessel, which had arrived in 19 days from Aga Cayes. Presiders' MON Ro had arrived at Washington on the 12th, on his return froin Viggi nia.—Commodore PERRY and Capt. Ile ATII had left Washington to fight a duel near the Wawa,. line.
