TAR kin?. mmallopm. [sinucT FROM • PRIVATE Lirnal BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBRR 29. Yesterday our Sovereign dined with his Belgian Majesty at the Palace of Locket). Three of the royal carriag es were in readiness at half-psst three o'clock, when his Majesty, who was dressed in the full uniform of a Field-Marshal, took his seat, at tended by Lord Clancarty and the Marquis of Convtigham. Sir Benjamin Blometield, and some other gentlemen of his Majesty's suite, followed immediately after. The announcement that his `Majesty was to set out brought together a crowd of spectators; but there was no demonsirstiou of feel tug on the occasion, and they behaved with a cold indiffereneo, appearing as if they were utterly un mindful that the greatest Monarch in the world deignel to honour them with his presence. The conduct of the French was far different ; and his Majesty's reception,' from Calais to Tourney, was surpassed ouly by that which he experienced in Ireland. At 'roomer, which is in the Belgian territory the Authorities had neglected making any previous arrengetrien6, .and the consequence was, that the royal suite were delayed an hour and a half wait ing for horses. His Majesty did not return from the Palace till pest one o'clock this morning, and I understand he was much pleased with the style in which he was received there. A company of French performers from the principal theatre, acted a pri vate play for the entertainment of his Majesty, and a few select individuals received invitations to attends Sir E. Nagle was to have been presented yesterday to the King t.f the Netherlands, but was seised with a sudden indisposition, which prevented his joining the ►oyal party, and the consequences might have been serious to the gallant Admiral, had it not been fur the prompt and skilful aid of Mr. %Valker, the King's ap6thecary. This day our Sovereign will dine alone in his apirtMent, and afterwards his Majesty will honour the theatre with his presence. Toe Duchess of Devonithire is here, and was one of the party yesterday at the Palace. His Majesty will leave this city to-morrow fur Waterloo. where the troops will go through some mameuvres, representing the movements that took place on the may of the battle. His Majesty. on quitting that memorable field, will proceed to Namur, where he is to sleep to-morrow night, and thence continue his journey with all the rapidity that bad horses, and still wotse roads, will admit.— ) can inform you, as a certain filet, that he will not, this year, visit either Berlin, Vienna, or Paris. SIR RUBRIC? WILSON. APPLICATION TO THE LORD MAYOR FOR LEAVE TO HOLD A MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF SIR B. WILSON IN THE EGYPTIAN HALL. As the Lord Mayor was sitting in the Justice. room yesterday, Mr. Ryland and Mr. Richardson waited upon his Lordship to request that he would grant the use of the Egyptian Hall for a meeting of those citizens who were desirous of expressing their sentiments upon the extraordinary dismissal of Sir Robert Wilson from his rank of Major-General in the Arun_•. The circumstances of this case of un common harddlip were, they observed, familiar to his Lordship, who was also doubtless well acquaint ed with the general feeling upon the subject, and of the proceedings of the constituents of Sir Robert. 'file Lord Mayor said, in answer to the applica tion, that upon the last occasion of a public meet. ing in the Egyptian Hall, namely, upon the meet ing of the Merchants. Bankers, snd Traders of the City of London. so disgraceful an uproar had been raised in the 11.11, that lie made a declaration, that he would prevent the possibility of the recurrence of so offensive a scene during his Mayoralty. by oithholding his consent to till practice of applying the Mansion-house to political meetings, or any others but those upon charitable occasion•. He had constantly maintained this deterunnation, al though he supposed there were many who objected to it in whose political seiniineuts he completely acquiesced. The gentlemen were struck with the propriety of the rule his Lordship had laid down for himself, and intimated to Ilios that they should feel it necessary to hold a meeting of the friends of Sir Robert AVilson iu the City, at some of the taverna or public rooms. The Lord Mayor expressed his full concurrence in the object of the friend end constituent of the gallant individual, but as the Chief Magistrate of the City. the impropriety of his taking an active 'nut in ally of the proceedings that were already en tered into would be perceived. Hi., Lordship ap proved of the idea of calling the Meeting in the manner just suggested, and the geutlemea left the J ustice-room.

In about an hour she Primmer came again alone, and called for a glass of gin, which he gave her, and she tendered him •outlier shilling which was also bad. He sent for an °Mese and had her taken into custody awl searched, bat soothing was found sus her but two•peace three farthings in copper. The Lord Mayor ordered her to be remanded till Saturday, and the Silicitor of the Mint to be informed to the interim of the charge against the Prisone►. A Gentleman complained of a breach of the peace, which had taken place on the 17th of September, at which times ss he was passing along Ludgate-hill, be felt Weisel( violently probed oft the pavement, and on turning round be perceived that he had received the rude salutation from one of a body of military who were marching along un the pavement with Gerd bayonets. He complained to the corporal at the head of the men, and observed, that he had as winch bemires, there as they had. The only reply he got from him was, Yuo he ti--mod; if you don't stand out of the way I'll run you through;" and he lowered his musket accordingly, to that the bayonet came close to the Complainant's breast. Not choosing to continue an altercation, where re much violence bad bees displayed, he took shelter in a sloop. He afterwards ascertained the soldier's name was Bland, a corporal in the Coldstream regiment of guards. As the outrage of which he couiplained had been committed within the jorisdiction of his Lordship, he took the earliest *ppm lenity of applying to him for redress, and should have attended for that purpose berme, but be bad been obliged to knee London. The ,Lord Mayor advised hi m , as h e k new w h ere to fi n d the man, to prefer as iudictincut against him at the ap proaching Sessions. The Gentleman thanked his Lordship, and professing his determination so proceed at the Sessions, quitted the office ; hut returned after • short interval, and suggested to his Lordship, that the corporal might, in the course ef service, be removed from London before the Sessions came on. He therefore wished to have a summons fee. the Lord "Mayor in order to secure his appear s's.* at the proper season. He stated that lie had applied 14! Sir R. Dime, who had declined to act, as the trans action took place io the City. He could not but view the matter in a ierille, light, as he was persu•ded that had he not acted so forbearingly mischief would have ensued; and ea for from the military beige justified in thrusting others off the pavement, be doubted whether they had any legal right to march there themselves with ernes in their hands; at least be knew that in Liverpool, Bri•tol, and other places, Ilkley were not allowed to marchers the footway. The Lord Mayor agreetil . with the Complainant, that the grievance Will of a serious nature, but still thought, as the Sessions were so near at hand, that to proceed by indictment would be the best made of obtaining redress. BOW-STREET. Lite on iredoesday evening William Jarvis, a ■otorioaa advertising horse dealer, was brought up in custody of Bishop, the principal officer, on a warrant for defrauding Edmund King, Eq. of Acton Howie, Acton, of the sum of Mt. Mr. Kin‘ stated, that in consequence of as advertisement which appeared in ieveral , of the papers respecting the sale of • horse, he went to a stable in King's Head yard, Little Russell-street, Covent garden, where be saw the Prisoner, who represented himself to be the groom of the proprietor of the horse for sale, and it was agreed that willies' should deposit 651. and take the horse for a short period un trial. After ridiug the horse for three 'hours. witness discovered that it was unsound, and directly sent it back by his coach man to the Prisoner's stable, when it was discovered that be was not to be found; under these circumstances witness made applicatlo• at this office, sad a warrant being granted against the Primmer fur the fraud, Bishop succeeded in tree jog oat and apprehending him. The case was ordered to stand over until eleven o'clock yesterday morning, bet in the mean time the Prisoner re. funded the principal part of t h e money, and the proceeding was abandoned. Josepe Dickers. dressed as • sailor, was charged with violating the pergola of Susan Butchers, a girl about seventeen years of age.—The examination was of course private, but we learned the result was that be was discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. -Mary Ash was charged upon a new case with littering • bad sovereign. The evide•ee adduced wu, that she had uttered the so vereign to • tradesman in Berwiek-street ; and bee tale was, that being the wife of • shoemaker she bad received the spurious sovereign of a person in payment for shoes. It is necessary as a public caution to state, that the piece had neither sound nor ring, and it accords with other bad ones in circulation. It weighs about two-thirds of the weight of a good 4/111e, with a brass head clumsily executed. The Suticilor of the Mint did nut think fit to prosecute upon the aingle ease, and the Prisoner was discharged, and the bail piece di faced. Mrs. Hannah Dixon, who kept the celebrated English Hotel near the place Verdant, at Paris, and who was brought before Mr. Dyer on Wednesday, on a charge pre ferred by M. Laver, a Freockman, is Poland-street, against her, yesterday applied to Mr. Farad, to know how to proceed in the affair in which she was involved through the intrigues of the Frenchman. She attributed her misfortunes chit fly to the return of Bonaparte from Elba, at which time many distinguished foreign Officers and others kfi leer house in debt, and she scarcely gut any business till the British army entered Paris, when she was patronised by the Duke of Wellington, Lord C. Stewart, General Ord, and mostly all the English Officers and private families. Her enemies envied the success she met with, and before she could get over her former difficulties she was thrown into prison. M. Lamm was known to be her Meal, and M. Sennett, be longing to the Commissary Departmeut, paid him 2,000 francs for her ; bat, instead of appropriating it to her re lease, he opened au hotel fur himself upon her plan, and got all her connexions, and she was left to subsist upon her industry m rrison, until released by the kindness of the Go. armor and the British Ambassador. When she met M. Sen. noit he explained, and the villainy of Lacore was discovered. Being, however, in such distressing eircumstaocea, she had tor alternative than to put up ■t his house; he charged hir 15 francs a day fur her hoard, till, through the lateral of the Duchess of Richmond, she got to be waiting-maid to the Lady of Sir William Johnson, who was kind enough to release her apparel,&e. She knows Lacore has now a carriage belonging to the Duke of Welliogton, which his Grace thought had hr en lost st the battle of Waterloo, concealed at Brussels. When she came to England, !more promised to pay her by iit.talmelits of If. per week, and made her give him a bill for 251. which is now lodged in the hands of an innkeeper is Piecadilli She knew him to have received 31. from the Committee fro relieving the puor Swedes, on ►is promising to quit the country, and he endeavoured to persuade her to do the aline. the agreed to give her 2s. per day fur selling the snuffboxes, which he now accused her of obtaining us der fate pretences; and upon the whole he endeavoured to cause her ruin, which in a great measure he had effected.

A correspondent says, t , The gentry of the country appose Aiterly to have de serted this meeting there was a period when they thought themselves almost bound to attend." FIRE. Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in one of those retreats of poverty mid wretched ness, situated in Church-lane, St. Giles's. The house being a receptacle for the accommodation of persons of the very lowest description, who lake up t►eir nightly lodgings, was much crowded. On the alarm of fire being given, • some took place which baffles all description. Men, wows, sod children, were seen running all directions, I■ • half state of nudity, to escape from the devouring ele ment, the poverty-stricken appearance of whom presented a most finished picture of homes misery. By the active exertions of the watchmen and others the fire was fort mutely subdued, without extending its ravages beyond the horse in which it began. The fire is supposed to have been occa sioned by one of the lodgers coming home intoxicattd. A fire broke out at two o'clock yesterday morn ing at the house of Mrs. NICHOLSON, in Mon mouth-street, which was occasioned by some un slacked lime setting fire to the boards in the lower part. The interior of the house was destroyed : but the exertions of the firemen got the flames wait r. The neighbourhood of Oxford-market was in much alarm and confusion yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, from a house fallingdown (No. 18) with a tremendous crash. An elderly woman and a man were the only inmates, and they escaped front the ruins ranch injured, and were conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital ; but they are not con sidered in a dangerous state. A part of the next house, an eating house where persons were dining, fell at the same time, and a ludicrous scene oc curred in the escape, some taking their plates with them. The adjoining house on the other side stood in a precarious state, and from the rottenness of the building, no one dared approach it; and the houses being of one date of building, the inhabitatita in the row were busily occupied in removing their goods for safety. A little girl was lost on Friday evening, under peculiar circumstances niost afflicting to the poor parents :—ller mother errs gleaning in a field upon Nucton Heath, Lincolnshire, when, upon going from one close to another, the child, with two or three others, was sent home; the other children arrived at their parents' dwellings, but the lost child turned back to follow the mother, and no traces have beta had of it since. She is described of the name of ELIZ4BETH BURRELL, between four and five years of rue, and answers to the name of Bass; stout made, but not tall of her age; dark brown heir, dark complexion, with blueish eyes. Had on a blue printed cotton dab, ■ blue and white spotted bowler, rod half-boots; had not any stockings. The hither awl his friends were searching the fields a!I night, sail fears are entertained that the little innocent may have been taken away by some per son. The Right Don, FREDERICK J.

The following is an milreact frowns account of a Mission among lbe Senecas .. .lid Illinsees, performed in 10 . 20, by the Rev. Timothy Alder, President of Allegheny College, ad d/limed to the Rev. Abrel Humes, H.D. of Massachusetts, Secretarymf the Society for propagating the Gospel among the Indians and others of North America. It is communi cated to us for publication, on the supposition that being pirblished here, it may resets some of She connexions of the White Woman, who would be flinch gratified to hear of She existence of . aged and estimable Mary Jamieson." We publish it as a sketch of a scene, many the I.ke of which have.uccurred in this country since its first settlement, bat withOtit calculating much on its grateful effect on the sur viving friendi of this old female.—(National Istlelligeocer.) " Ott Friday, the 15th of September, we called uptm Mary Jamieson, at Gatibrdaus, known far and near by the name of the IV Woman. She lives in a comfortable Indian style, on one of the fertile bottoms of the Genessee, flanked by high, abrupt, and romantic banks. Her habitation is near the place where, about three years ago, fifteen acres of land slid, the night, from the side of a lofty and steep bill, with a frightful noise, carrying trees and rocks into the bed sof the river, to the amazing terror of the few aboriginal families in the vicinity. I could have no opportunity to col lect an assembly at Gauhdanu, of which I had been duly apprifed; yet it steeled a duty to travel six miles out of our course to have an interview with the aged White Mimes. I found her able to converse intelligibly iu English, but stew. Mg, at first, that racier of the Senecas. She, however, at length, le•came acreeahly communicative. and cave a history of her life, which is so ium , estiag, tl at I shall h • excused in stating a few of its prominent iticideum. lam more inclined to do this, thinking that this statement may each some of biz relatives, who have prhbably no Iris isrledge of her past dm. freesia; trials, nor errs of ter meteor.... " She was burn at Marsh Creek, below Connicocheague, in Pennsylvania. tier par is • were Flionias Jamieson and Jane, originally Irvine, and wire Guns Ireland, but of Scot tish descent. At the age of thirteen years, a few weeks afire the evacuation of Fort Ds Greene, 61 MS, she, with her parents, a sister, and two brothers, were taken by the Ist. dices, and hurried into the wilderness. In the third day ..f their captivity, the lodisess discovered, by their scoutitig par. ties, that many white people were in pursuit of ahem, inher ing, bit their lives would have bees spared. " These merciless savage% to facilitate their escape, killed the father, mother. sister, and 511, brotherr, but suff. red Mary to live, and travelled to the westward, taking her with them, to a certain place un the Ohio, probably near the Lit. tle Beaver Creek, where they cominued some time, and went to a Shawnee town far below. Here she lived istony years, married an Indian, roil had several chitdrro. Once she at tempted to desert the place aud make her escape to the white people, and had proceeded through the pathless wood minty miler, when the fond yearnings of a mother induced her to return in her children, whom she has never since felt ■ dis position to leave. " Mary had an uncle, Juhn Jamieson, who was killed at the time of Headsetlee defeat. She bad two brothers, John mail Thomas, who were not captured with the rest of the fa. mily. Musty yiars loner she saw a man from the neighbour. hood of her native rp.t, who informed her that these two brothers were then, as she understood, it some part of Vir ginia. If still living, and feeling the best sympathies of human nature, bow must it delight them to learn that a sister, who no doubt was supposed near seventy years ago, to hive suffered the vengeance of the tomahawk, sud who once 'Streamed born to it better portion than Providence has wen fit to allot her, is yet oa this side of the grave, sustaining the part of sir inoffensive and estimable women. The last words her mother spoke to her, before the fatal weapon released her and so many of the family from the sorrows of life, were, not, at present, to attempt to run away; not to forget her English, not to forget her God. " She had beam taught to read, and, if she could have had books she thought that she could not have forgotten, but now her sight was impaired. She bad kayoed the Assembly's Catechism, and was early made acquainted, by the care of her parents, with the duties foundrd oat the word of God, and has probably often communicated the •monist of her knowledge to she Indians. 1 remarked to her, that, as she had greater advantages Omit the people among whom she bad spent her life, it must have beers in her power to have offered them very important instruction, as to the duties we all owe to the great God and Saviour of the world. She said she used to teach the children when they were young. Pur suing my remarks on the Sweat which she might still afford to the natives, whom she frequently sees, by speaking to them on the things of religion, she replied with a quick ridicule- Hon and considerable feeling, a The Indians know whit is right well enough, but they won't do it—they won't do it.' " From other sources we learned something of her uncom mon trials. After the death of her first husband, she came to the Generate sod married Kotlam, a chief, who t►en as soused her name, but was generally called Gaubdaor, from the place where he lived. By him she bad six or seven chil dren, and has more than forty grand children. Of her sous three were living a few years ilium The youngest of these, being ambitious of the honour of his father's situation in the tribe, he being deed, had recourse to murder, that there might be Lou competitor in his way for the sarheorlon. He accordiogh watched for an opportunity, when ore of his brothers little suspected what was in his heart, and slew him. This Was overlooked. Some time after, his tourdir. our hand plunged a dagger into the breast of the seirriving brother. " The Chiefs in Council then resolved that he should alone fur the repeated outrage upon the rights of humanity with his own life. The mother went forward to plead for him, stating Host be was the only son she had left, and entreated that be might not be taken from her. In tenderness to the old woman, the Chiefs granted her a lease of her sou's life, during her coatinuance us the world, with the uoderstending that, on her decease, the sentence already pronounced should he carried into execution. Two years ago 'ilia young Rolm. hue was killed by some of hie countrymen in a drunken fro lic, at Squake Hill."' A fatal accident lately occurred at Nantes :—As Roitget was proceeding to a review, his horse, it is supposed, bring stung by a fly, start ed and threw him on the pavement. Ills foot being caught in the stirrup, he was dragged some distance before it was possible to stop the animal. The Ge neral expired almost immediately in consequence of the fall.—(Paris Paper.) A shocking outrage has been committed on the perriou of General DuJote, by a relative, named DRUAULT, an officer on half-pay. He went to the General's house on some pretence, and on his de parture stabbed him below the heart. The Gen e r a l cried out for help; and during dint time Dausul.T wounded him five or six times in the head and arms. He was at length arrested and conveyed to the Prefecture of the Police. It is hoped the General's wounds will not be attended with any serious conseqcences.—(Journal des Debars.)
