HAPLIS, OCT. 3. Not a day passes without executions of insurgents and banditti. On the 20th of September, Marshal Massena had his headquarters at Palmi, in Calabria Ultra. No thing had yet been undertaken Igainst the forts of Reggio and Sciglio, in the possession of the Eng lish. The Marshal first intended to purge the . Two Calabrias of insurgents, for which purpose he had divided bis troops into four columns, to scour the country. Diavolo is said to have taken refuge io the Ecclesiastical State. The bands of insurgents ani banditti, though so of:en put to the rout, still keep the French in con stant aetivity. Now they appear in this place, now in that, and plundar the country where they appre hend no resistance. If they involve themselves in danger, they retire to thick wends, or steep' antl rugged mountains. The Plnglish General Stuart issued the following Proclamation from his head-quarters at Monte- Leone, in Calabria Ulterior have received from different parts of Calabria, concurring accounts that the Chief of the Insur gents, Don Giuseppe Maria Pappasodero t pil his followers, ravage every place with fors and sword, and that he abuses and dishonours my name in his proclamations. TMs condo& ren ders him a public offender; and I, therefore, promise to any person who shall deliver up the said Pappasodero, either alit e or dead, a reward of 500 silver ducats. I further declare all his proclama tions null and void, and I will punish his followers with the stridest military severity." MUIILHAUSIN. OCT. 23. The corps of the Duke of Sare-Weimar, amount ing to 20,000 men, had no share in the battle of the 14th ; and afterwards retreated to the environs of Tangermunde. • Bonaparte, in the field of Ikittle, wears a plain hat, and a plain grey surtout. lie wore a similar dress at the battle of Marengo. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVCRIBCR 7. Mr. Paint we find has taken the hint which we threw out a few days ago, and he has derived ad ♦antage from it. Peter Peva:plea, the weekly slan derer, Flzwil tins the feathetman, and a few other such respettable Gentlemen, are kept in the back ground at the Hustings in Covent Garden. Mr. Nutt. has very wisely muzzled them, and entreat ed th".ts not to destroy his cause all at once, by ap pearing too adlive in his support. A little fun, in these dull tines, is a good thing ; and, though it has been purchased at the ezpence of much personal inconvenience to Sir Sauutt. Hoop and Mr. Sour, a 11D•N, we do not regret it. In the city of West minster. comprising 14 or 15,000 FleCtors, any man, who produces a contest, may reckon upon two or three thousand votes. However fit Sir SAMUIL HOOD and Mr. SHERIDAN may be, it is not right that their election for the first city in the empire, in point of rank and fashion, should pass off as a matter of course. It ought to be marked with something to chew the high aoil distinguished honour sought and conferred. A stagnant state, in the moral as well as in the phy sical world, is a state of corruption; and as good will often rise out of evil, the city of Westminster is indebted to the efforts of Mr. PAULL for putting its citizens upon their mettle. Mr. PAULL'S success. hitherto, has proved what they have to ezpe&, should they sit nailed to their counters, or whiling away their time in watering places, regardless of their dearest and richest rights and privileges. In such case, Mr. PAULL, the MAYO& of GARiAT, or any other favourite of an idle popu lace, has a chance of being returned for the city of Westminster. Some of the El.ttors may bo out of humour with Mr. SMIXTDAN, and though they should be sorry for his failure, would not be displeased at seeing him punished a little by R teas ing opposition. Others of the lower class may be amused with the farce of Mr. PAULL'S contest at Covent-Garden. as much as with The Forty T4:eves at Di ury-Lane. So far it is very well ; aaki we repeat, that we are not sorry to see the populace amusing themselves in uproar and cla mour at the Hustings, even though their inge nuity, in devising amusements, should sometimes degenerate into the grossest licentiousness. It is much better that such things should be, than that the great and opulent City of Westminster should become a rotten Borough. But there is a limit to this indulgence of fan and frolic in • ease like the present, of vital importance. There is some difference between Mr. PausL and the populace at Covent-garden, and Mr. Pact.'. in the Senate, the Representative of the City of Westminster, the organ of the will of its 16,000 Elenors. This observation may startle some of our readers, but it is true. — Let this proselyte to the principles of Sir FRAN CIS Buenas T, that good and loyal subj-tl, who, in the same sentence, iThjeEts to Mr. SuISIDAN for their Representative, and onr good and gracious Sovereign for their Kiwi; let this hopeful pupil, from the Jacobin stock, once mount, and they shall see how he will ride. He will rise in the Senate, to parrot out the sentiments of some frightful Jacobin ; and in so doing he will take especial care to ilitscribe himself as the organ of the sentiments of the city of Westminster. Aye, and this will be in his lips coamitutional language. For seven years will Mr. PAui.i. stan.l forth the Representative of the property, will, and plcasu:c of the seat of Government, a city containing his King, his Parliament, and its laws; and in the present critical and main:bumf state of atc wa da not think it extramgent to sty, thlt a titii for seven yMrs is as rod for any nun u*ndly to the King and the Constitution, as the fei'simple. We do not say, that Mr. PA LL is that man. Let him be judged from his own lips. He says he will fol low Sur lea:acts Boanwer in his principles to the scaffold, and for Sir FR ANC4S Buttostr's principles we refer to his Advertisement to the Elea.) ts of MidAlesex, and its loyal observations upon the best of Kings. We do then say, that at this fearful moment, Mr. PAULL is not a fit person to occupy the important pass of Westminster. He is a political ambito'', who seeks sought to work him self into popularity by fastening upon the cha racter of the Marquis WEL LW. IY. Strip him of that feather, and he is nothing. The public never heard of such • being, except through the charges against the Marcinis Wet.t.xsuiv. And now we shall conclude this ungrateful exposure, by asking at whose expence this popularity was obtain. el ? This M. PAULL, who, with crocodile tears, laments the weight of our taxes, is the very man who, in the last Session of Parliament, moved for East India papers, the very printing of which cost the pub lic from 20 to 50,0001. One bill we know, for we are in possession of it, sent in by the King's printer, for papers moved for by this frugal gentleman, was 70001. and upwards. If these papers were ne. cessary to the prosecution of an important charge against Marquis Wessest.zr, the public cer tainly ought not to quarrel with the expellee ; but we do pledge ourselves, that not one-nineteenth part of them will ever be brought dorwasd as evidence against the Marquis Wescast.s.v, and we do think we would not go too far, were we to assert, that even Mr. PAULL has never conde scended to read one half the motions, however far their pradaElion answered Mr. PAUL L's purpose. He made himself known, and he teased the Hi nister. Some farther ex:rafts from the HambArgh mail, received on Wednesday, are given in a preceding column. General DAENDELLS, with a body of Dutch troops, crossed the Emms on the CG:h, and took powession of Erftbden-Leer, and the whole Province of East Ric:land. A private Letter from Hombre, dated the Slit of Oftober, says:—" On the 29xh instant, His Ms. Jury's Consul gave orders to the British Captains in this port, to hold themselves in readiness to de part at twelve /lours notice. The Decade French privateer, of ID guns, and thirty-four men, is captured by the Loess.

Grixtivrt. e pre ' aided, for the admission of wounded seamen into Greeawich Hospital. • The Sussex Eletlion is fixed for Monday. General LINNOI and Mr. Futt. ea, the late Members, will be probably re-elated ; but there is said to be a third Candidate la pelts. We are authorised torstate, that Sir Fiaosares: Futon, and his very numerous and highly respect- able frienis and connections, have declared their in tention of supporting Mr. Corers and Mr. Cot ccouon, two of the candidates for the county of Wexford, upon the approaching elettion. The Hon. Joon Posisorinv, now Lord PON SON iv, has been very successful in his canvass for the county of Cork. It is supposed his brother Gsoacs will stow become the Candidate. The Hon. Ferwensaw Poessowsr, youngest son of the late much-regretted Lord, is a Candidate for the county of Kilkenny. Several unfortunate reports have been artfully raised in Dublin of meditated disaffection, in'order to revive the disunion and distraCtion of the people to serve eleCtioneering purposes. A more diaboli cal stratagem could not be devised ; and we trust the promoters may meet that loud and open reprobation so nefarious a policy deserves.—(Cork Alemannic Chronicle.) Saturday se . nnight, A LCZANDEII Fonsvrn, Ser jeant-Major of the 2d battalion of the Gist Foot, quartered in the Castle Barrack, Limerick, put an end to his existence, by discharging a loaded musket into his mouth ; no cause is assigned for this ae lie was a handsome young man, and of excellent charafter.
