LOUIS XVIII Extra& of a letter, dated Yarmouth, Nov. ou This morning, Louis XVIII. landed with his sake from the Swedish frigate Frv..4, at Yarmouth, under the title of Count de Lille, by which only he will he recognised during his stay in England. The Count cams on shore in Almiral Douglas's barge, in the most private manner. " On his landing. he was received by Admirals Douglas and k.ssington, Capt. Corry, of the flag. ship, and Mr. Brooks, of the Alien. Office. London. The party immediately assembled at the house of Admiral Douglas's Secretary, ohieh strod conti guous to the spot. Here the Count had his first in terview with Monsieur (ihe Count D'Artois.) scene was truly interesting and affeßing. "The carriages of Admirals Douglas and Essing ton were shortly ready to convey the Count and his suite to the boniest Admiral Douglas to breakfast, where the illustrious guests received a hearty wel come, and were treated with that trite English hos pitality, so congenial to the feelings and heart of a British seaman. " The party were joined at breakfast by Admiral Russel, Sir S. Hood. and several Captains. The Count seemed highly gratified at finding himself surrounded by so many brave men. To Admiral Douglas and his family, he mote than once espre•s ed his gratitude for the attentions and hospltality *lawn to him. 4. Whilst at breakfast, the Count gave a striking goof of his gallantry ; presenting a rose to Mi.* Douglas, he made a happy simile between the sweet ness and delicacy of the flower, and the correspond ing accomplishments of the young lady. " After breakfast he took his leave, and set off from Yarmouth, in his own carriage. to the North. His suite consisted, besides his relatives the Dues d'Angouleme and De Berri, of the Compte d'A►ary, Duc de Grammont, Compte Etienne de Daman, Compte Nantouillet, Clev. de Riviere, Monsieur de Perronet, Monsitter Distel, l'Abbe Neu tics, and l'Abbe Comm."

EXETER NAW RR/DEIrELL. Saturday last,being the day appnired. by public advertisement, for raying the fnundAtion-stone of the New Bridewell, to be built adjoining the Devon County Gaol, the Committee of Magistrates, to whose care the whole arrangement of crating this spacious edifice has been committed. assembled at the castle of Exeter, about one o'clock, and pre cisely at two o'clock walked from thence in pro cession to the mite of ground allotted for the build ing, when Mr. S. F. Milford, the Chairman of the Committee, addressed the assembly in the following words _,...ter -~ " My Friends and Fellow-Magistrates !—Most of I us bare had too much experience of the world to Natter ourselves with the expedition of deriving any high degree of happiness from it. As far as my sphere of experience and observation has ex tended, it appears to me, that the only pure and permanent source of enjoyment on earth arises from the aaive and vigorous employment of those talents with which Providence may have entrusted us, in the pursuit of some laudable objea, and in accom plishing all the good within the reach of our abili ties. One of the most illustrious men. and probably the most enlightened moralist, amongst the ancients, says, that all virtue consists in action ; and, I am inclined to add, almost all happiness. In this print of view, I know not of any object mere calculated to interest the best feelings of our hearts, and to call forth every energy we may possess. both as Magis trates and as men, than the contemplation cf the in creasing profaneness and profligacy, and the conse quent misery, of the lower orders of the people. At no very distant period, there were frequently in the Eridewell of this county not more than six or seven prisoners of every description, and sometimes there were not any. Of late we have seen upwards of a hundred there together. What a mslincholy and dreadful change is here ! and to what serious re flettions is it not calculated to give rise in every thoughtful mind ? For investigating the cause, this is not the place ; but the fad is incontrovertible.— Happily, it has been ascertained, that much may be elleaed towards enumerating this portentous rate of society, by brirging into opts:lion and anivity those remedies which wise and good men have re cently pointed out and stronoly recommen.!ed, alter the most laborious investigation and profound re fl.aima. To have continued to complain of the idleness and perverseness of our apprentices, of the dishonesty of our servants, and of the general ditto lutenen of the inferior classes of society, would have been the grossest inconsistency. had we any long. r desisted from adopting those means for arresting and diminishing the evil, which have proved in other places so eminently successful. is, fortu nately, will soon cease to be our case. For, owing to our united exertions, made under these im pressions, countenanced and supported as we have been by the wise and liberal policy of the rest ir f our Magistrates, we are this day enaoled to meet together to lay the foundation-stone of a new Muse of Correthon for tt is extensive and po pulous county, and to ihrea the construction of an Hinpital, for the common use of the prisoners in our gaol, and of such as may be confined in this intended prison. It will be built after the pion which I now hold in my hand, and, in its con sti udion, undeviating attention will be paid to the grand principle of adaptation to employment, in separation of classes of oaf/mins, and also to in dividual separation. Men will be kept apart from women, idle apprentices and servants from the pr..fligate vagrant, those sentenced to imprisssn mins with labour from those without, and the con vided offender from the unconvicted and possibly innocent prisoner. There is reason, theiefore, humbly to hope, that this building will coirribote to she promotion of the best interests of saciety,long after we shall have ceased to have any conc.rn in the affairs of this nether world for ever. We know that Urnieily prisoners were promiscuously confined in dungeons, with hole regard to their possible innocence or ascertained guilts to their health or to their lives, and much less to their reformation and moral imp-oven:ern. In dose times the most callous insensibility, as well as the grossest impolicY. universally prevailed in these respeas. Thanks to the graduailyoncreasing influence of the benign spirit of our holy religion, and to the progressive advances of humanising philosophy throughout the educated and enlightened classes of society, that night of slat k ignorance has, in a considerable de gree, disappeared from this happy island. All houses of cotreaion should be calculated rather for reform than punishment. /Sat I fe:l much regret in stating, that I have observed some of our b: ide lovas, soil in existence (which were otiginally and sully designed for the coneaion of lighter offences, and for the prevention of greater crimes) that are now disgraceful to, the counties to which they belong. and merely hot-'reds for the grimes of vice to ni.frild themselves in, and nurseries for our gaols; insomuch, that an invaluable correspondent of mine. who was lately Sheriff of an inland county. and who has devoted thirty-five years of his life to the laborious investigation of these sultjato in dif ferent parts of the world, feelingly laments. in Isis hot letter to me, how frequently he recognises in our gaols those faces with which he first became acquainted in our brideweils. This, I apprehend. results, in a great degree, from their defeCtive construftiun, from the promiscuous association of the different classes of prisoners, hut, above all, from a want of employ ment for them ; and, as they are sometimes con fined for two years, at the end of that period it is almost always too obvious that habits of industry being once lost are not easily regained ; conse quently, vagrancy, profligacy, and rapine, ensue. 11 hen the antidote which we have now in con templation shall be eroded, according to the plan which etas been adopted. after the most extensive inquiries and patient investigation. I trust it will be looked upon as a monument of the wisdom and humanity of tha county of Devon ; and, under the blessing of Divine Providence, that it will eventu ally prove a School of Refortn, in which habits of labour sad industry will be maintained in those who possess them, and generated whet. they do out exist; and in which also the health will In preserved, the vices corroded, • and the murals improved. of those whom tits laws of their country may sand hither. In that case it will not be too much to 'maga, that the county will WAD exper i ence a de crease of crimes as well as (*expenses. bet this will in a great degree depend en a willing surrender of a portion of the time and attention of the Magis trates in general, to this superintealmee of the em ployment of the prisoners, and of the regulations and dsciplins of the house. Without that, I shall have done a very imperfea good in bringing forward, and the rest of the Magistrates in assenting to the measure we are this day carrying into execution. From the known charaaer of our enlightenod and re.peaable Magistracy, there is every thing to hope, there is nothing to fear. At all events, my fellow-la bnurers in the great cause of humanity, you of the Committee willeverhave the genuine pleasure of con sidering, that thus far at least you have disinterest. edly ald faithfully discharged your duty to the pub lic. As to myself individually, I shall never regret the time and attention I have bestowed and may stiU bestow on this objea, honoured and abundantly compensated as 1 have been by the unanimous and repeated approbation, and also by the thanks of my felloa.magistrates, assembled at their quarter ses sions. Moreover it will be to me a copious source of heart-felt satisfaaion to refledt, that it the spit its of great and good men departed, who, by their vir tues, ennobled their species, have now any conscious ness of what is passing in this sublunat y state, the spirit of a Howard has been looking down with mild complacency and smiles of approbation on our COM. paratively trivial and humble labours, in that field of charity and mercy, in which he reaped for him self unfading honours in this world, and eternal bliss in an infinitely better. Lastly, my friends, may the great Architta of the Universe, without whose concurrence all human efforts are ft aides* and vain, deign to favour this intended building with his blessing, and under the divine auspices of his Providence, may all the benevolent and important purposes which the promoters of this undertaking have so much at heart, be finally and felicitously accomplished." It may appear superfluous to add, that this speech mct with the warmest approbation, not only of 'hada ' gistrates who were present. but also of a large con course of pi:ople assembled to witness this interest ing scene. that we should not do justice to the Chair man, were we not to express how much the I.ublic ruu.t feel indebted to him, for his very great and continued exertions in the cause of humanity, on this, and on other occasion. The ceremony of laying the foundation-stone then took place, and a plate was laid underneath, on which was engraven the following inscription The Fotinsartion-Stone of this House of Coneetion was la , d oy Sainfried. !Winutel, Esq.

Toeseny ninnies: being appointed to be observed as the aniliversior, i.t 11311,4'1,101cm if the Devon and Eteter Hospital, a itrge number of the Governors ot that noble ins:itution assembled in the board room, at' eleven o'clock in the forenoon, whim, agreeably to a previous and public novice, • general Court was held, " to consider the propriety of atuhorisiog the medical gentlemen of this institution to vaccinate any pout person, gratis, at this hos pital." Mr. S. F. MI t roan,Vice-President, having open ed we business, entered into some interesting obser ►atioas on the great blessings which bad accrued to society from the discovety of vaccination. He said, that although the variolous inoculation had rendered the small-pox considerably milder than when taken in the ria•ural way, yet that it was ad ♦attageous to a comparatively small number ot in dividuals, as it had been ascertained that many more died of that disease since the introduaion of inoculation, than before ; as, by means ot the pes tiferous lancet, the murderous venom was :dill kept alive, and thus contsgion and mortality were pro pagated through the land. At Worcester and se veral other places, the medical professors had nna nimously resolved to pra,ttise no other inoculation than that for the cow-pox ; and he was happy to ' add, that the Medical Gentlemen of this Institution had very handsomely and cordially entered into the measure now proposed, and agreed to do every thing in their power to promote its success. That some objeflions having been made on a former occa sion, on account of the additional expense which would accrue to the hospital, from the adoption of this plan, he was confident that it would be so in considerable, that he would most willingly defray the whole of it himself ; and this, from the fullest convidlion that it would be so trifling as not to de serve notice. He therefore ationgly recommended the resolution. " That any poor person might in future be vaccinated in this hospital, gratis." "the Rev. J.. AS DMINIS seconded the motion; he stated, to the honour of this country, that the first discovery of vaccination was made about 40 years ago, by a Mr. Binge. of Axminster. who ASCOT. tAIIICLI that the cow-pux was not only a preventive of the small-pus, but also that it might be communi cated by means of inoculation. He did not how ever mean by this to detract from the merit of Dr. Jenner, since he had been the happy instrument of extending i•s praitice, but it proved that vaccination was not so novel as time bad imagined ; yet as nothing was more difficult to remove than the pre judices of the lower order of society, when they found that this pradice had been sanAioned by so large a number of Governors as were now present, highly respetled, both as men of understanding and of independence, he doubted not, but they would m , st willingly acquiesce in the measure proposed. A few words more passed as to some tnvial re gulation', which, however, were referred to the Committee, and the resolution then passed, with scarcely a dissenting voice. The general Court be ing dins dived, the Governors walked from the Hos pital in procession to the cathedral, where a most excellent sermon was preached on the occasion by the Rev. Archdeacon Short. Service being ended, the gentlemen proceeded to the Hotel, where an elegant dinner was provided, thus concluding the day wish harmony and conviviality. Two stone shot, which were fired from the batte ries of the Dardanelles dining she passage of our fieet, and tell into one of our ships. were sent home by her Commander, and were on Friday landed at Portsmouth. having, however, been previously c!targed ten &haling. custom duty.
