In the mean time the re. giment has been turned over, in a kind of appren ticeship, to one of the German cavalry regiments, re. markable for good conduct in the points in which the deficiency alluded to was observed. We under stand that the effect of this severe, but just censure, has been so strongly felt, that several of the Lieute nants, and one Officer of considerably higher rank, have sent in their resignations, which under these circumstances have, after some he,itetiori, been ac cepted by the - Commander-in-Chief; for it is known to be contrary to the custom encirule of lee army to send in, or to accept a resignation, when the pail is lon service.—Freeman's Journal. - _ _ STATESMAN OFFICE, TWO C194 4 0C1C.

The following regiments. of Irish Militia are at present stationed in Great Britain :—Antrim, South Cork, Galway, North Down, South Down, Kil dire, Kilkenny, Longford North Mayo, and ' Mo naghan. It is said the Noble Lord's plan of pre?' iiional battalions vras more immediately directed to me Irish corps, with whose sentiments he was peculiarly ar •quainted, and from which he expected the most etli. dent letiet. ' • ilcl:43x MoteraLivai in his .last Statement to the Legislative Body of France, on the state of the !I;llauttfactires of France, • said, that the manufac ture of Tobacco into Snuff, produced, or at least was taken to produce for the year 1813, the sum 01 72 millions of francs, and that the first cost of tlos article to the EMPEROR was only 12 millions. Na. ?OLEOS is the only Tobacconist in France. Surely then, says Sir FRANCIS D'iveartots, we ought to meet him in his own market ; and to this end he re commends, that the islands of Jersey and Guernsey should be exempted for a time from the duties ott bacco, which would enable them to supply France, by means of contraband, with this article at one third the price which the Imperial Shopkeeper de ' mantis, and consequently ruin his trade. If we are a Shopkeeping Nation we ought, of course, to act upon Shopkveping principles. We are happy to find, that in consequence of the impracticable provisions of the Insolvent Act, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the King's Bench has de termined to introduce a temporary Bill, for the pur pose of giving relief, without further tiehty, to those unfortunate persons in confinement, whose expecte ! tions were naturally highly excited by the passing of the Act of last Session, but which has been found 50 unavailing to their hopes. His Lordship, in men. tiotting this intention last night ) in the House of Lords, also stated that he proposed to render this I Bill equally unlimited in point of view as the Art ef -session, and that the ssetioe- Owen- omelet tit: )id 'Should be available under the new Bill. Tfie rt-n — • CHANCELLOR likewise declared his determine- Ili.* to give every . assistance to the passing of such a The events of these days are calculated, and ss'e hope likely to afford instructive lessons to mankind. By the recent disasters of the enemy, some of the im- I pudent panders to power would insinuate, that there 1 is now no occasion for a watch over the conduct of ' Ministers, es if the wisdom and virtue alone of the administration had been the cause of the fortunate change ht the affairs on the Continent. But when • e Government is encroaching upon the liberties of the people—in other words, is become corrupt— it turns every great event to its own sinister purposes; 1 -fortunate or otherwise, it plays upon their fears or 1 their credulity. When the French threatened inva , lion, then it was necessary to hate a new Militia to avert the blew—now, it is said the enemy is down, it is required that the Militia, ordained for the home: defence, should be blended with the standing army to follow up the blow. We understand, that letters have been received in town from Sir Jong MURRAY, in which, referring to the censures passed upon his conduct at the affair of Tarragona, he cites; as a full justification, the 13th. article of his instructions, strictly forbidding him to hazard a battle under any circumstances which could give room to apprelteud_that the result might be such as to cripple the efficiency of the force under his command.
