Viscount Sidewalk and Mr. B. Bathurst had au . &noes of the Prince Regent. The Court did not break up till past sic o'clock. yeiferday morninehe Duke of YORK had an au tlieue• of the PRIncEREEENT at Carlton-house, Upon Iris wive, from Oatlands. - -A letter from the British Consul at Venice, in ',,lareet our Government that the plague has actually `reltillSleired in the Lerzarette of that pod. . The achievement for the late QuEEN was placed ' • seer the great gate of St. James's Palace, yesterday. It consists of twe shields, one containing her arms, as Qeeen of Greet Britain, the other as Princess of blectietiborgh-Sttelits. The remains of the late Colonel Disettowe were, yesterday, removed from Windsor, for interment at Walton-upoo•Trent, the family estate, in Derby. shire. Lord Glum, one of the Lords of the Bed chamber to the Panics REGENT, is said to be a candidate for the vacant seat in the Borough sal Windsor. Yesterday morning the curiosities, &c. brought from Baffin'e Bay, by Captain Ross, were landed at Whitehall•stairs, from the boats of the Isabella and Alexander discovery ships. There are four dogs and two bitches, the former larger than the latter ; three are almost black, one black and white, and two • -brownish, and appear neatly of the same species as ::•ahose of Kamschatka, with beads and tails resembling a fox ; their skins exceedingly thick, with long hair; they are very docile, and represented as of great strength. Among the curiosities was an amazingly large skin of a white bear, about seven feet in length!: it sledge of hone, about five feet long and two high, With the whiptatc. used by the newly-discovered bitsuts ; specimens of mineralogy and botany, and Bottle very remarkable star-fish. The w hole of the pro. ilaCtiona were convey rtl In the British Museum, for tholnspection of the i'ublic. Forms:ay.—As soon as it was discovered that a forgery ou t Aberdeen Commercial Banking Corn. arry 'HU 'mutation, a person employed by the - Uswlerwew lied to Belfast, where it was un eierstond the (totes were manufactured. The result has • been * that the plate, the Government duty stamp, -.ll.lntsfiseßait tramp, „ffilth a sornher of forged notes • o —fie fillis t td 14 Other. not—have been got: It b tialferstoolt-that et#llf t *IP of these notes have got into circulatiolt. There is no truth in the abserd reports that were spread some time age, of a new gunpowder plot at ,13, aed of a conspiracy to carry off the Em peror ALFEANDER, on his way to Paris, as e hostage for tionArARTE. We have heard even that the Bel gic Police is IlsIA ashamed of the im,tortatice which it has given to these rumours, by its bustling activity, and its foolish arrests. THE STOLEN CHILD—Mr. BIRNIE, yesterday, announced in the Public Office, Bow-street, that Mr. Hoene' , and child had arrived at Mr. H.'s residence in Canotthury-lane, on Sunday afternoon. —The villain Rennett they left in safe custody at Bremen, who will be delivered up es soon as pro per application is made by . this Government for that purpose. A STATE DELINQUENT. —A Sunday Paper says-et " A young Gentleman, well know in the literary world, who by means of family connexions, got a lucrative situation in one of the islands formerly be longing to France, has squandered away about 70,0001. of the public money. He has been arrested by Goffernineat, and is now on his passage to Eng land: Ministers have consulted the ATTORNEY and SOLIEITOR•CIENEItALS, intending to prosecute him criminally; but they are of opinion that he can only be detained as a state debtor. Messrs. Bnour.nast and BENNETT intend to bring the business before Par liament." At a Court held istety for Fayette, in America, a son of Hibernia was brought to trial, charged with 'stealing a shirt from one of his countrymen. After the indictoteut was read to him, he Was asked by the Court, "Guilty, or Not Guilty ?" " Plase your Lord ship," says he, "that's what you have to try."—The Court again told him to answer, was he Guilty or Nat Goilty ?—By St. Patrick, your Lordship just wants to be after pumping me, do you ?"--The Court asked him if be bud any Counsel Plase your Lord. ship. I don't know what you mean."—The Court explained, and told him he must plead Guilty or Not Guil;y...." Fait den, if I must spoke the truth, I am Guilty; but prove it; but if your Honour will pay costs, we'll say no more about it."—An Attor ney was requested to pat in a plea of Not Guilty ; and after an investigation, the Jury brought in a verdict, pronouncing poor Pat, Guilty !—(Western Paper.) We expect to see a new reading in front of 131sit's house, after, the present Lottery is over ; for should he sell the Four Prizes of 110,000, 'which is con fidently expected, he will, of course, improve his style, and increase, as well he may, his notes of ad miration (!!!). VIENNE, Nov. 21.—We expect here shortly the snivel of the Persian Ambassador, Mirza Abdul Hassan Chan, who is going, by way of Vienna qd Faris, on a special mission to the Court of Lon'. Ile was once before Persian Ambassador in London, and lately at St. Petershurgh. The Triton, Marshall, from Quebec, has arrived at Dattraeutb, with part of her carp thrown over. board. ••• 4 • 11-TE STATESMAN TRIAL IN FRANCE FOR MITRING -FORGED NOTES. On Thursday last (the 3d inst.) the Artie. Cook of St. Omer, condemned to five mix forced labour in chains, to branding, and public expesure, Alex. Sinclair (otherwise lilulgrave), for uttering forged Bank of England notes in the neighbourhood of St. Omer, Donkirk, end C.ltali. The Prisoner repre sented himself to be a British naval officer, connected with the Dork-yard of Chatham, and was accom panied by a Scotch Inman, whom he represented to be his wife. He arrived at Wale, it was said on the Wet, with •pwards•of 80 one pound Bank of Eng. land notes, among among which there was hot a single good one. The nomber he distributed was said to be shoot 40, and these were in the possession of five or six individuals, so that no one was defrauded to any, great amount. The person who suffered'ltiost was an English officer, who exchanged 15 of the forged notes for French money et Dunkirk. The crime of the Prisoner, his altering the forged notes, with I guilty knowledge of their being forged, for the por pose of defrauding those who received them, was proved by a great number of witnesses. The fact of the forgery of the nolos,wes establitds ad, not as in ibis coaatty,.. bUbe adance of one • of the Inspecting Clerks of &MG teat by an affidavit or declaration, transmitted hear the Bonk of England to' the Bit* of 'Gilgit. ,ttesting the forgery.

It is rather singular, consider jog the facility with which Bank of England *Mei are received at Calais, Boulogne, Dunkirk, and , other places on the coast frequented by the English, that this should be the first conviction for passing forgeries, and that so promising a field should have been so long left unoccupied by the escees of 'Oven (firers who crowd the dock of the Old Bailey. The Court at St. Omer, aware of the importance of checking a crime which might be to destructive,to the commercial relations of the two countries, passed the most rigorous sentence on Sinclair that the French law allows for fraud; their criminal code viewing the offence of the Prisoner in no other light.—The forgery of a note of the Bank of France is punished with death. _ 11UPPLEMLNI TO THE _ LONDON GAZETTE, Dn. 5. aIIORT 11latll4SOR-SFENERAL SIR U.

The troops arrived in the rear of the investing post, at a quarter past three, P.M. but were Italic by my orders about 1200 yards lit the rear of it. — They consisted of a storming and a supporting co lumn, the former composed of (our companies, 2d battalion Ist Native Infantry, snider Major Mid. winter ; eight companies, 2d battalion 13th Nativs Infantry, under Major Thomas; and three comp'. tries, Ist battalion 14th Native Infantry, wider Lieut Lewis; the whole under the command of Brigadif Dewar. The latter was formed of live companies the 211 battalion Bth Native Infantry, under Mej. Manley, and eight companies of the 2d battalion 28th Native Infantry, under Capt. Wrottesley, the whole under Brigadier Price. Both columns were placed under the direction and orders of Brigadier-General Watson, C.B. The rest of the infantry continued in their posts of investment, and two companies were sent to protect the park end stores remaining on the other side. 1 In this disposition 1 halted, until about half - p as t five, when, to the satisfaction of the eager troops, Capt. Ticket!, Field Engineer, who, with some of his officers, had examined the breach personally, gave the preconcerted signal, that the troops might ad vance. Brigedier.General Watson, most judiciously concluding that no time was to be lust, moved for ward at once to the assault, with some pioneers, and a party of 50 or 60 men of the Ist battalion 14th Native Infantry, under Lieutenacts Lewis and Ait. chison, followed closely by Captain d'Aguilar, of the 13th, with three companies of that corps, arid what remained of the detachment of the Ist battalion 14th Native Istantry; the main body coming op in double quick lime, joint el the assailants without loss of time. The breach, from Wog occupied by the enemy, was instantly mounted and carried, our troops rushing along the ramparts, and up the principal streets of the town, driving before them the . enemy, who now endeavoured, when too late, to maintain themselves, sod Suffered very severely in their retreat towards the fort; the town was soon kr oar possession with scarcely any loss ; such of the fugitives as attempted to escape to the fort, found the gate shut against them, and fell in heaps under the destructive fire which now peered upon them from -Captain Luke's battery. Annund Shoe, Commandant, en old officer of the Rajah of Berm-, and the most violent instigator of the resistance we esperietsced„ was said to be slain at this spot. About 250 of the fugitives had col4ected in the corner forth& from the breach ; these on the approach of OW troops along the ramparts, made some resistance, but at length adopted the fatal resolution of rush lag outside through a small gateway : they were observed by the investing parties, under Major Com mies and Capt.
