Thompson. Numerous as, have been the occasions afforded dur. of a Di .^PY Ihe A& iecrel ing the arduous service which Major-General Oehler bony has conducted with so much credit to himself, and so much benefit to the public interests, for the expression of the highest approbation of Govern. ment and tbe Commander in Chief, none has Occur.. ; red wherein the consummate judgment of the Com- Inaissier, the zeal, intelligence, and exemplary valour • of the Officeis, and the deierinieed courage of all descriptions of tie troops, have been more conspicu ous titan in the course of thOse a :de movvineets which have produced the highly important and honourable results described in the accompany big dispatch. •f Right Hon. the G orertoe-Geneial will per ceive, with regret, that the loss of the British troops has been severe, though not more than might have been expected, cunsidering the strength of the ene.: sn)'s positions, anti the determined nature of the re- i bistattre lie opposed to nor arms. The plan and sketch of he attack, referred to by Major-Gen. Ochterlony, are transmitted herewith. 1 have the honour lit be, &c. (S .

Chief and the Governor-General are also given, elm merating the services sod merits of the Officers who peculiarly distinguished themselves in this laborious campaign. The Governor-General, in expressing his sense of these services, makes the following re ams ks :—] Warfare in a mountainous region offers embarrass ments which, when viewed at a distance, appear in surmountable, but which dwindle into comparative insignificance under the grasp of vigour and genius. It is only in unusual situations, demanding readiness Of resource and nidmared efforts, that the difference between officer and otlicer can be displayed ; and it ought to be always present to the mind of every mi litary man, that he who in circumstances of per. plesiry tries and fails, has to plead those chalices from which no operation in war can be secered ; his pretensions to the character of zeal and energy being in the meantime maintained ; while he who contents himself with urging difficulties as an excuse for doing nothing, voluntarily registers his own inefficiency. " The Governor-General offers to Major-General Ochterlony, and all who acted under him, fiis went applause: sensible as his Excellency believes they will be to that acknowledgment of their merits from Government, a still inure elevating consideration at tends them; they have to reflect, with honest pride, on the further lesson which they have held forth to every power in India. The British Goternment is too satisfactorily conscious of its own superior strength, ever to abuse it by trespassing wantonly on any of itx n eighbours : but if its forbearance be in sulted, and its patience outraged by nggiession, it will alwa?s prove, that whatsoever obstacles may re. lard its earlier efforts, its perseverance •will not fai l ultimately to crush the assailant." By command of his Excellency the Governor-General, (Signed) .1. All. Secretary to the Goternme.it• A vacancy in the Representation of the Counly of Wicklow has occurred, by the death of NIr.W. 110 A RE fluty*, who died suddenly on Monday moruing. Al ready several cninlidate3 are named. LONDON: Fftu)Av, NovEmueit 17, 1815. The intelligence from Paris has lately been of to much interest,end so much calculated to keep curiosity on the rack, that we feel more than ordinary the sus- pension of its arrival. We are still without any French Papers later than those of which the public have already been put in possession. The Paris Journals of Monday and Tuesday last are now due. They may probably reach us before we go to press, in which case we shall nut fail to give as much of their contents as circumstances will permit ; but at the hour we write (late in the forenoati) our Parisian information is confined to some private letters which do not reach the period of the assembling of the Chamber of Peers in Marshal Net's case. The Chamber wa, to enter on the discharge of the import out duties confided to it in this respect on Monday. The Papers of Tuesday are, therefore, those which wit! ft:rnish any details of the proreediogs. Nothing is now thought or talked cf but NEl's trial, Ncy's acquittal, the fresh measures pursued against him, and the folly, imbecility, and vindictive spirit of the Government. The public agitation has thus been in creased to the verge of tumult and insurrection; and the Government has been plunged into new and un expected difficulties. This may account for the dis appointment of the sanguine anticipations of the friends and advocates of Ministers here in regard to I the triumphant arrival of Lord CASTLEREAGH and his Convention. Rumour says, that the negotiations have been entirely suspended, and hints. probability, should the Chamber of Peers prove unable or on-' willing to repress " the triumph of the factious," by shedding a sufficient quantity of blood, of the French King and his family accompanying the English nego tiator and his Convention to this country. But this may be a mere November view of things, the gloom of which has beets heightened by the sonibreaspect of recent events, and which the next tidings nay brighten into a more agreeable prospect. It is however cer taisi, that the Throne of the BouitaoNs is at present in great jeopardy ; and that either Louts, or his Allies, hare been pursuing an erroneous policy which now threatens to be productive of the most collated to make, by doing an heroic act of justice. Prosssie, in addition to the manuscripts,&c. she pre• I tended to have a right to, insisted on live hundred manuscripts, 100 designs, and 100 medals, to be selected by Iter. This infamous attempt coming to the ears of our Noble Duke, he instantly put a stop to it, end went in iwrsoto to visit the matchless col• leciion of medals, &c. at the Roy al library." Letters by the Centaur , 71, from the Cap of Good Hope, detail several particulars relative to the melancholy lose of the Arnhiun. The bodies of many of the unfortunate sulreters had bees, stashed on shore in the vicinity wherr the dreadful vitas.- troplte took place, and decently interred. The re mains of Lord and Lady MoLeswouTit, it is added, has been also discovered; and were found closely locked in each other's arms. PAnis, Nov. B.—You *ill not find the Duke of ORLEANS' name in our Newspapers for some time to ' come, sincedus order to that elfect has been issued by the Police. The Journal der Debuts having inad variedly copied the paragraph inserted in the English Courier, in which the absurdity of the assertion, !that " the Duke was returned to England, for the sole purpose of assisting at the Duche.ti's accouche meld," was rendered evident by the statement that that accouchement was not expected to take place for some time. The Editor of the Juurtsal is said to ' have received a severe lecture, and immediately ass order was issued to all the Editors of our News- papers, forbidding them ever to copy any thing that may be found in the English news pars on the sub ject of the Duke of ORLEANS ; or to mention his name at all, except whets the Police should give then) a special order for so doing. At the same time, the Editors were forbidden to quote the works of M. de CIIATEAURIIIAND, and they were ordered to praise the King of SPAIN, FERDINAND VII. as often ! las they should have an opportunity for speaking of him, and of the acts of his Government. So much fur that freedom of the pied. so solemnly promised by Louis XVIII. both its the declaration of St. Owen, and in that Constitutional Charters which his Majesty once called " Soo plus beau litre aux .yeux de la posteriie," and which might have been such, had it been really and sincerely observed. The following letter from Naples contains some further particulars respecting MURAT% trial and ete cation : To rmz EDITOR OF TUN STATESM4N. " Nein' , in verbs mnjirtri ?" Sea,—My weekly Newspaper having some time pest inserted the answer from Lord LI trisussr'i °lce to Mr. ,M•iiElitlOT, curl knowing nothing m ore to the latter Gentleman, hut esteeming him a sort of philanthropic Mr. ‘Vc.ns, disposed, by the trattsmi s , 'ion ofbooks, &r., to console " she greatest ce l; _ tain of the age,"• and whose having done his duty I I Waterloo was acknowledged by she Duke of W, , LINOTON isOOSPIf, 1 addressed both Mr. bl•Kas. ROT and Lord BAT/11:RST, to propose, that books and pamphlets, to be supplied by myset!. might not be excepted from the literary cargo to !v i . Helene : and had the latter, instead of the formes, suggested the charily of ass address in behalf of the vanquished Emperor, thus suddenly transferred from power to petrifaction, the service, as many who have found me ready upon application in various wer e cast testify, would probably have been equally per. formed. Your having inserted in your Paper the suggested address, must be my apology for troublin g you with the request, to give your Headers also this history of it, together with a correction of it at kart, which ma Y be more material to me than to then. The persons originally suggested to he addressed byme, were, the Lords Spiritual, but the body of the B r iti s h maims was my preference. Mr. bl'Kenuov also, I believe, would readily vouch for me, that my c u e. scription of the address was with no Christian et surname, but (altering try motto to nullaram is verba parentum ) with that which, until remised from me by regular refutation, I have taken the Hs berty to assume ; for, Q se non fermi's Ire. viz ea nnstra von", To this correction I think. Mr. 141. K erraor will agree. Any correction of the Address I do not propose, unless it may be, that as War and Peace are the King's prerogative, an Emperor, considved as a tiger and caught, may be (possibly legally) Toads to occupy an iron cage. But how is this ei•derani Emperor so to be considered, after that a Peace was concluded with him by the Allies themselves, pre. viously to the great success of the first march to Paris? and for which Peace the Minister who west to make ir, engaged for his friend a reward, which will not suffer a senior in the Diocese of London to forget the Peace, or the Bishop of the Peace 105 BONAPARTE? The Emperor, if tried as a private man, might not be unlike either the Peace, or the avowedly mild Prelate of the Peace. The address was the result of my own reading and sentiments, in retirement, and conferring with very few ; and, if error is committed, pardon must be, asked of ail parties, none having been designedly of fended. Nor, though it appeared on Gunpowder Plot-day, as the date shows, is it to be so conuected, the reality of that plot having long been disbelieved by the w riter, who read die full service of it on Sunday last.
