They were, of course, ordered to leave Paris immediately, se averse were those REGULAR WORTHIER to restore tranquillity to their distressed subjects, as a gleam of hope still re- , m od of exterminating liberty.

STATESMAN SURREY 'ELECTORS: trine he Wls &Reeling was very unpopular with many. After a variety of other observations, the Honourable Baronet renclotled with returning his sincere thins to the 1017 voters, who had raised the county higher in the public estimation, if possi ble► than e'er it hid been heretofore. Ile then proposed the health of Mr. Burt. Mr. Bva•t reprobated the selling of Seats in Per lian►ent. Every Freeholder ought to set his face against such a doctrine. The county was princi pally endangered by the friends and supporters of Placemen and Pensioners. Yesterday there was a dinner of the Electors of the County of Surrey, at the Surrey Tavern, Ken. nington, Tor the purpose of commemorating the late glorious struggle for securing the independence of the County. The Chair was taken by idr. Andrew Burt, who read a letter from Sir Joseph Mawbey, who was expected to fill it, regretting that i n con sequence of an indispensible eligagemmk he was obliged to be in the Isle of Wight that-day.

On the 2d inst. a Court- Martial was held no Joseph Gibson, Seaman of his Majesty's ship Loire, for stabbing with a knife, Lieut. H.ichard Croker, Officer of the Watch on the morning of the 23d of Sept. on the passagefrom St. Helena to England.—lt appeared on the evidence, that Lieut. Croker had reported the conduct of thsoPrisoner to Captain Brown, for mak ing use of a vile egression towards the Signal Mid shipman on'the evening of the 22i1 of September ; that on the next morning, between the ' , ours of eight anti ten o'clock, he (Lieutenant Croker), being Orcer of the Watch, was returning from giving orders to the Boatswain on the forecastle, when he heard his name called ; en turning mond lie saw the Prisoner standing as if wishing to speak to him ; on Lieut. Croker approaching him, the Prisoner said in a loud voice, " Yon have reported me to the Cap tain;"—Lieut. C. replied, " I have," and was about to add more, when the Prisoner pulled out a knife and stabbed at him with all his force, wishing to hit him in the breast or neck ; Dent. C. sprang from him, by which he only received a wound in the shoulder; Lieut. C. then endeavoured to seize the Prisoner, but finding he could not make use of his arm, in consegence of the wound, he succeeded in retreating to the quarter-deck ' • the Prisoner at the same time brandishing his knife and pursuing him as • if to make a second attempt, exclaiming, " be hung for you."—lie was then secured. !La was found Guilty, and adjudged to suffer death. On the same day a Court-Martial was also held, and continued by adjournment until the following city, on Capt. Lynne, of hip Majesty's stip Eclipse, upon a charge of detaining the Lord Mirsto cartel, em ; pioyed in the conveyance of the French Garrison at the Isle of France to European France, upon pretence of some irregularity in her papers, and a supposed breach of the navigation laws; thereby acting in an improper, unotlicer-like, and unjusti fiable manner.—The Court agreed the charge hid not been proved against the said Captain henry Lynne, and did adjudge him to be acquitted.. On the 4th ~lust, a Court Martial wts held on Moses George, Master-at-Arms, Mr. W. Bailey !Brewer, purser, and Mr. John Pigot, Clerk of his 1 Majesty's ship lithimenio, the first-named for inducing , three of the Nort h b Cork Regiment to desert and enter themselves on board that ship, and the two latter for aiding and abetting in the transaction. — The Court agreed that the charges bad been in part "proved against the said Mr. W. Bailey Brewer, and i did adjudge him to be severely reprimanded, and that ;the charges had not been proved against the said 1 Moses George and John Pigott, and did adjudge 1 them to be acquitted. Man. CoActirs.—When the public are paying so dearly for this accommodation, and while so much property is dependent on it, the Post-Office ought to know, that if they imagine it is an uncommon thing for the guard to !cave his seal and sit with the coachman, they. are very ignorant cf what is going on. The guard: frequently do it for whole stages together ; and they are so occupied with the traffic of buying and selling game, and talking with poachers on the road, that the care of the Mall is compare. tively a very small object. Mr. Farming Is serionsit called upon to ettqclite into this. • The following defence has been set up for the con. tinned imprisonment of Mary Luke, for not naming the fe rof her Illegitimate child.—" That the un. w n father of the child supports the a o.nan com fortably in the prison, in order probably tb screen himself from disgrace—that Mary Like keeps the secret s because she finds it more to her advantage than to reveal it—that the Magistrates hare no power to liberate the woman without the consent of the officers of the parish,--Lend - that the latter refuse their consent, unless they are relieved from the bur den of supporting the child,. The woman has been brought up every Session since December 1.1109, and has, it is said, constantly refused to &dire the fa. ther of the child." Yesterday, a Gentleman mounted on a grey horse haring occasion to go into ' Covent Garden Market,' gave his horse to a man to hold. Tate moment the Gentleman's back was turned, the man called a boy, and gave him a penny to hold the bone, telling hies ,p alter takil - it out. the saddle wanusd some alteration,. null taking it of . the horse's back, made his escape with it. loyed I A constant Reader observes, that on Tuesday even. • I . sett- ing a gang of notorious hustlers, six in number, raft site• in the, city soon after six o'clock : their route was • , i I $, by Fleet street, Lndgate.hill,the soutb-side of St. Pauly f am 4 Chearide. 1 , P 4 4 . .
