THE SUN. SOLFIII QUIS DICEIZE F4LSU.II AUDE.IT LONDON, THURSDAk, MAY /9, 1823. We have in our preceding columns inserted extracts from the Paris Papers of Monday, and from the Pitote of Tuesday. While the ordinary observer is occupied with passing scenes, the politician, and philo. sopher endeavours to penetrate futurity, to con nect the chain of events, and to weigh the destinies of mankind. It is not enough for him to learn the progress of military events in Spain. He is not satisfied with looking to the Proclamations of the Cortes, nor to those of the Junta. The consequences which are to flow from the possession of Madrid by the Duke d'ANGOULEME, alone solicit his attention ; and, as the first of these, the probability that the French Government will invite the Spaniards to form a Regency or Provisional Governmen Reflecting on the intimate bonds of amity exis ing between the Members of the Holy Alliance, he inquires i.hether it be not also probable tha those Powers will send accredited agents Madrid. It would be a singular and curious political phenomenon, to see the Continenta Powers sending Ambassadors to Madrid, and England retaining hers at Seville with FERDINAND But wherever the Representative of England may her voice must intervene, to prevent i on the one hand, the establishment of despotism, as on the other she has arrested the devastating torrent o revolutionary principles. Spain is struggling rgainst the imposition of a foreign yoke England will assuredly never assist her as sailants. If the war has really no other object than that of securing the peace o western Europe against the machinations of Re volution, and procuring a rational Governmen for Spain, in which the Sovereign shall be free and in possession of the perogatives of one of the branches of the Legislature, then it wil become the bounden duty of England to 'watch over the measures which may be ,calculated to insure the re•ppose of the world. A report prevailed this morning that a division of five thousand French had fallen in with the army of Moult.Lo, who had been considerably reinforced by troops from Vigo, and various other towns, and, after a severe conflict, the former were defeated with great loss ;—the Spa niards refused to give quarter. The Spanish schooner Two Sisters, from Porto Rico and St. Thomas's to Cadiz, was taken off the Azores the 4th ult. by the Colombian brig Eagle, and sent for La Gbyra, but re-taken by the Master and pdople left on board, and arrived at Burbadoes the 20th ult. RussrA.—As a new Ambassador from Russia has arrived at Washington, our Government will have a favourable opportunity of remonstrating against the recent Russian proceedings on the North 'West Coast; and as the British have already protested against-the extravagant Ukase, and have, as deep an interest as ourselves in re sisting it, measures of opposition might be con certed with her, if the pretences st.t up are not abandoned or reduced to reasonable limits.— (Boston Paper, itlaj 5.) THE PITT CLun.--We yesterday attended the Meeting to celebrate the Birth-day of perhaps the greatest and most disinterested Statesman that has appeared in any country since the origin of civilized Society. It might indeed be styled a National Festival, as it was not only in honour of the great departed Statesmen, but in support of those piinciples which essentially form the basis of that Constitution in Church and State, to which this country is indebted for its pre-eminence in political security and public freedom, which renders it the admi ration and envy of all other States.--It was highly gratifying to every British heart to' see the Meeting attended by several of our chief intellectual Nobility, by men of rank and fortune, by many of our first Merchants, and by a con siderabhi number of the most respectable Trades -men in the Metropolis, all atpcious to testify their reverence for the departed Statesman, and to avow their attachment to his principles, which, at the most awful crisis of Eurofe, pre' served the country from the horrors of anarchy, while they maintained our free Constitution, and upheld the dignity of the British Empire.— Lord KENYON, who, on account of the illness of the Duke of RICHMOND, took the Chair, sup ported it with great spirit, firmness, and manly ease. He mixed good humour. with politi cal rectitude, and , diffused cheerful feelings throughout the company. The LORD CHAN CELLOR spoke of Mr. PITT with all that strong attachment and that expression of sincere re. spect which invariably mark whatever he says iu allusion to the great departed Minister.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL briefly bnt emphatically vindicated the policy which the Government of this country had maintained during the whole of the late negociations with France on the affairs of Spain.—The Earl of HAttcwoon, in paying due tribute to the merits of Mr. PITT, so clearly developed the nature, substance, and tendency of the departed Statesman's political principles, that we lament we have not room at present to enter more fully on the subject.—As we have given in another place an account of the general proceedings of this National Festival, we needon ly add that we never witnessed, on any former oc casion, more zeal in honour of Mr. PITT, or more enthusiasm than followed every, toast and senti ment which related to the purity of our Consti tution, and which manifested unanimous devotion to its interests in Church and State. GENOA, MAY 21.—8 y a Decree of the 19th instant, the Council of State, by virtue of the full powers delegated to it by the law of the 25th April last, has suspended the Liberty oldie Press, subjecting to a censure the publication of every work treating directly or indirectly of fo reign policy. The same measure has been adopted in the Canton of Vaud without any other avowed motive than the extremely vague allega tion of the pressure of circumstances. It appears that the different Cantons have each issued De crees, intended to prove their, entire submission to the will of Foreign Powers The Duke of YORK visited the KING yes terday. Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Count MUNSTER had audiences of his MAJESTY. Prince LEOPOLD left town yesterday at twelve o'clock for Claremont, accompanied by Baron STOCIIMAR. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, the Prince of S AXE 'W EIMAR l e f t tow ft f or B ushey, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. Tuesday afternoon the Brisk sloop of war, Captain STUART t .arrived off the Tower. The appearance of a vessel of war at that place gave rise to various conjectures, and it was rumoured among the seamen of the merchantmen, that no impress for hands to man the fleet was to take place instantly. On inquiry is has, however, been ascertained that it large quantity of specie, which' has been coined at the Mint for Ireland, is to be put on board the Brisk for safe convey. ance for Dublin. On Saturday last his Excellency Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, Ambassador to the Court of Swe den, and suite, embarked on board the Seringa patam of 44 guns, in Leith-roads, and in the after noon sailed for Stockholm. ills Excellency was saluted on his embarkation by the guns at Leith fort, and by the ships of war in the Roads. We are desired to correct a mistake in the Parliamentary Reports, viz., making Mr. DALY (who took no part in the discussion), instead of Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE, the mover of the Joint Tenancy Bill last Tuesday in the House of Commons. Yesterday a Ballot was taken at the East India House, for the election of a Director, in the rocnn of JOSEPH Covrox, Esq., who had disqualified. At six o'clock the glasses were closed and delivered to the Scrutineers, who re ported the election to have fallen on JOHN BAILIN, Esq. The Officers who accompanied Sir ROBERT WILSON to Corunna were—William Julian Light, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Staff, and John Erskine, Captain, both his Aids-de-Camp ; and also Antonio Adolph() Marbot, Colonel of Ca valry and Staff, Charles Thomas, Cornet Charles Wolter, and Ensign Lewis Ludwig. We are glad to see that the Greek Committee sit daily at the Crown and Anchor, from one to four. The best omen for any cause is an ap pearance of pains taking and method among its supporters._ Among tile performers already engaged by ttre indefatigable Manager of the Haymarket Theatre for this next season, are--Messrs. Harley, Terry, Liston, Vining--Misi Chester, Miss Paton, Miss Love, Miss Johnstone, Mrs. Orger, Mrs. Jones, and Mrs. Davenport.

SUOCK ING Aces DENT. — Yesterday morning a tilbury, containing a Lady and Gentleman, broke down on the declivity of Blackfriar's bridge, and as the vehicle was proceeding at a quick rate at the time, the Lady was precipitated to the ground with considerable violence, by which her arm was broken and her face and neck severely bruised. The Gentleman and the horse eseuved without injury. , e it; l:A i cit s. k b , Ih dr,,,, 64 . ,:,,.. „ • ~ e-, , 4 . 4.:$ e , - ,.4.- , R , , fri t . , 9., .... c ., - . ~..„_...z i IL. ..,.--: „. ~ -4 , :;-4,- r%.' ci ' S - , 4 1 (4 1.* t ( t iA I " m itt ‘ , t,,i ‘ ,1 ' 6. . ... . ~.

The night-breeze gently sweeps the ground, O'er moon-bright lawn and whispering tree— It spreads refreshment all around, But brings no sleep, no rest to me ! My wailing babe ! your eye Is dim, Your limbs are cold, your cries are few ; Your feeble accents call on him Who thinks not, cares not, now, for you. Your parch'd and pallid lip demands Some food to ease that knawing Oh raise not tbus.yoUr wasted hands, The breast is dry—you weep in vain ! . 'Hi sees me not ; he thinks not now Of all the thousand oaths he swore— The plighted troth, the broken vow ; The fatal flight I now deplore. Fair was his form—a heavenly ray Seemed o'er its bright refulgence shed ; And saintlike radiance seemed to play Its halo round his holy head. Kind were his words, and bright his smile, But like the meteor light it played, As cold—as brilliant to beguile And lure to woe an artless maid. lie ne'er returned—the tear-drop fell O'er my pale cheek in: ilent shame; —I wrote, my wretchedness to tell— Unopen'd back my letter cam e ., 0 I could he see his victim noa— Ber beauty and her bloom are fled, And beams upon her pallid brow the The it f l a ary t s pot l l htnioiyar twebielu o il ni t rr . ngy h sl l e o c le t The i i a f m t c dh y r i t : l n b nr.l hail r e ley a s t t h b. , r east t Welcome the harbin ger of death, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. , . . . , EPSOM HA CES, IWM .

A horrible assassination has been committed on the 21st of this month, on the person of a widow 3 EttOME, aged 82 years, who lived at Nd. 45, Rue du Faubourg du Rule. This woman was very poor, subsisting on a pension of 250 franks, which the beneficence of one of our Princes granted her, and the succour given by the district in which she lived. She never received visiters, but spent the greater part of her time in Chapel. On'the morning of the 22d, she, was found w i t h h er throat cut in a waste space of ground in the street Pon thieu. It was discovered that on that day a man between 35 and 40 years of age, of tall stature, dressed in a blue or brown surtout,was seen to tarry for a long time at the entrance to the place, who seeing some children playing in the street near him, said to them, " My children, go into the garden, many of the apricots have fallen." The children hurried into the garden, and returned almost instantly, shrieking in the- most terrible manner at the sight of the bloody . corpse of the unfortunate woman. The same man said to them " Go, give information to th e C ern , missary of Police," and immediately disappear ed. The Police is in search of him, who must either be the assassin, or at least aware of the circumstances attending it. Nothing had been stolen from the poor victim's dwelling, and the few trifles about her were not such as would tempt robbers.—(Journa? des Debeds.) PITT CLUB. The Trietinial-Commemoration of the Birth of the late Right Hon. Wuttast PITT was celebrated yester day, by a superb dinner, at Merchant Tailors' Hall. At about half-past six they Right Hon. Lord K ENYoN too k t h e Chair. He was supported on his right by the Lord Chancellor, the , Duke of Wellington, - the Earl of Ha rewoo d, an d Earl.Man vers; .on -the -left by the Earl pf Westmorland, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Lonadale, Lord W. Beresford, and Lord Rolle. Among the company, which amounte d to nearly 300, we also noticed-, the following distinguished personages :—The Night Hon. Sir H. Russell, Bart. 31. P, Sir J. Cotterell, Bart. 31. P., Sir T. Dyke, Bart., Sir M. Chohnely, Bart. 31. P., Lieut.-Gen. Sir M. Nightingall, 31. P., Sir T. Wigrarn, Bart., Sir J. Graham, M.P., Sir J. D. Astley, Bart. M.P., Sir 11. Ibbetson, Bart., Sir F. Fowke, Bart., Sir J,Gibbons, Bart., Sir Charles Flower, Bart. G. B. Wilbraham, Esq. M.P., T. afacqueen, Esq. 3f:p., VV. R. Cartwright, Esq. M.P., the Dean of Winchester, Sir J. Osborne, Bart. M.P., &c. &c. After the cloth had been removed, Non Nal* was sung by Messrs. Pyne, Leete, C. Taylor, Hawes, Broadhurst, Lee, Kin Di mum, and M aster S m i th. "The King" was then drank with three times three and the most enthusiastic applause. The national song of " God save the King" followed, and; was chorussed by the whole company. The next toast was " The Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Family," with three times three.—Glee, " Hail Star of Brunswick." The Noble CHAIRMAN' then rose and said, that previous to proposing the toast he was about to have the honour of sub mitting to them, he begged leave to state that he did not occupy the station he had then the honour of filling from his own desire, but 'though the absence of those who from their rank, their influence, and their abilities, would so much more ably have discharged the duties he was about to endeavour to fulfil. Under those circumstances he must intreat their indulgence for any imperfection he might be guilty of, or any inability he might display. Unprepared as he was, he should indeed merit the accusation of presumption for offering the next toast to the company, he did not know that the history and the talents of the great man for the celebration of whose birth they were then assembled, were known and fully appre ciated by every Gentleman present.--(Applause.)—He was convinced that both his principles and his merits were as deeply engraven on their hearts, as his illustrious actions and successes were on the pages of the history of this couetry—(Applause.) He would not presume to draw the character of a man whose Memory was revered by, and dear to, all around him ; hut he could not refrain from remarking, that among the many virtues of the late Mr.' Pitt—a disregard of his own personal interests—a sacrifice of his own prosperity for the public good, appeared the most conspicuous.—(Cheers.) —Th e period when that great Statesman came forward was one of unexampled difficulties. He had to struggle not only in the cause of a country by war, but against prejudice, influence, anti power. To those ad versar i es he could only oppose a great, a noble mind, and the most unsullied integrity, backed by the as. sistance of a truly patriotic King. Re did fearlessly oppose them, and he triumphed.—(Loud applause.)—lie then en deavoured to establish internal prosperity in the country, and there also he was successful ; but when peace was no longer to be maintained consistently with the honour and dignity of the country, lie forgot his own views—he yielded his own fame, and summoned forth the energies of the nation, and by the unpa ralleled power of Ills exertions, gave a stimulus to th e p u bli c mind that was till then unknown.--(Applause.)— and which the glorious achievem en t s of the Noble General then on his right hand had so brilliantly and so ably supported.—(Enthu siastic cheers.)—He had commenced a war which had been justly denominated the ►greatest war in which thi s country h a d ever been engaged. The deeds performed in that war were unequalled by those of any preceding, except, perhaps, those which occurred in the war his father prosecuted before him. Unhappily for this country he was then taken from it; but his last breath was spent in a prayer for its success, and his last action was given for its support—(Applause.)—But, alth oug h l ie had not the happi ness of witnessing the glorious conclusion of that war, every gentleman then present knew, and he was con vinced that his Majesty's Ministers would agree with him when he said, that it was owing to the principles of that immortal Statesman being pursued with vigour and ability that success had been achieved, and that this country had been enabled to conclude a war arduous, in the extreme, _with unblemished honour and renown.---(Applause.)—lt was impossible ever to do justice to his talents, his integrity, and his exertions ; there was but one sentiment in that room as to the invaluable ten. dency of those exertions, and he was convinced that they would drink with the strongest feelings of gratitude and the most af fectionate regard, " The Immortal 3iemory of William Pitt." —Drank in silence. The toast was no sooner drank than the Noble Chairman remarkeded, that although it was proper and customary to drink 1 " The Memory" in respectful silence, that was no reason why " The Immortality" should not be drank with three times three. " The Immortality of William Pin" was then drank with three times three and applause. " The Navy and Army of the United Empire" was' drank with three times three and load approbation.—" Rule Bri tannia" followed, and was well sung. The Noble CirmILMAN said, that tho toast he was about to have the honour of proposing to them was, Prosperity to the Royal Family collectively of these Realms. lie was sure there was not one in the company who would not jein in the sentiment that such a t r ib ute o f respect conveyed.--(Applause:) —For, whatever might have been the misfortunes of this ! country, or the sufferings inflicted on its inhabitants by the tyranny or cruelty, of the preceding rulers of the land, the experience of upwards of a century had convinced them that they need not dread The return of oppression as long as the reigning family continued on the Throne. The glorious reign of their late Revered Monarch had given them an especial proof of the sincerity and the soundness of their intentions; and the prosperous and constitutional course pursued by their present beloved Sovereign was a still further instance of their virtues and integrity.—(Loud applause.) The House of Brunswick and may they never forget the principles which placed them on the Throne of these realms." Drank with acclamation.—Glee, " With a jolly full bottl e ." The two following lipes were r ece i ve d with the most enthusl- Katie cheering:— " Here's a health to old England, the King, and the Chuch, May all plotting Reformers be left in the lurch !" Lord KENYON again rose. He had, he said, to propose a toast, essentially connected with the two preceding ones; in deed so intimately was it connected, that when they lost the ' one, they must of necessity lose the other.—" The Protestant Aticendancy....:-This toast wax received with tremendous accla inations. Glee—" Since Harmony deigns with her Votaries to dwell." The Noble CHAIRMAN was convinced that every gentleman present must have observed with delight the number of his Ma jesty s Ministers whohad honoured the meeting by their presence. — (Applause.)-4low great had been their services to their coun try, how unremiting their exertions, and how truly theyhad pur sued the ex am pl e and supported the principles of thatimmortal Statesman, IV illiam Pitt, every individual present must feel, and must be anxious to acknowledge..—(Great approbation.)-s- It was of the utmost importance to the welfare of the nation that unanimity should prevail amongst a Body which filled the most responsible situations in the, country, and that their coun sels should be as they had hitherto been, steady, unfluctuating, anti calculated to toward the prosperity of the nadoti.—(Ap plause4—Long might they continue so to conduct themselves ; and he had no doubt but they would do so as long as those whom Ire saw around him continued to b e a m ong t h e i r num ber. The situation in which they had lately been placed had been difficult; it demanded both firmness anti ability ; and he should like to know in what manner they could have conducted themselves more likely to benefit their country and supp9rt its welthre.—(Applause.)—There were, perhaps, many among the company who could enforce the claims and services of His Ma. jesty's Ministers with more ability; but there were none who could prize them higher, or acknowledge them with more sincerity. " His Majesty's Ministers," with three times three and im mense cheering. The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose, on the part of his Majesty's ' rn Ministers, absent as well as pres ent , . to return thanks for the honour it had pleased the company to confer on them. It was a distinction that must ever be gratifying to them ; but they felt particularly proud at being noticed on an occasion like that, when the mark of approval betowcd on them was in con sequence of their havin g acte d i n conformity with the prin ciples of the late Mr. Pitt.—(Applause.) —Mr. Pitt's life had been properly divided into two parts ; ten years of peace and the rest of war. He commenced his career at the close of an arduous war, when it was d ec l are d " t h e glory of England had set for ever ;" anti during those years of peace b e ra i se d t hi s country to a greater pitch of internal happiness than it had ever reached before.—(Applause.)-- That peace would have co nt i nue d, h e most ardently hoped and most fully expected ; but that dreadful faction then burst forth which not only embroiled this nation in a war, but threatened the subversion of the independence of the whole of Europe. He entered the war, and how masterly he conducted that war, all who were then . present were well aware. He had not lived to see the conclusion of the war, nor had his views, while he w as living, been supported by the great and overwhelming talents of the Noble General then present—(Louti applause.)—But his Majesty's Mi n i s t ers h a d on l y prosecuted his intentions, and to his genius was the chief of th eir success to b e ascr ib e d. — When his Majesty's present Ministers were called into office the circumstances of the war were most critical ; but the great energies of the nation, once brought fully into action, bore down all resistance, and it had been conc l u d e d amidst triumph an d g l ory. At the close of such a war many difficulties were necessarily to be encountered. Every interest had suffered —every branch oe the agricultural and the commer cial pursuits had met with depreciation and distress; but the prospect was changed, and they ought to hope that those dis tresses were drawing to a close, and happier days about to sue. ceed.--(Cheers.)—With such prospects, with every thing bright_ ening around them, it would have been madness in any Ministers to have exposed them to destruction, to have mat them away by entering into a war. —(Applause.) —It was, the duty of every wise and every honest Statesman to cultivate peace, and to cherish and protect every branch of industry and commerce ; so that by huabanding the nation's stre ngt h an d means i n the days of peace, they might be able i n a case o f necessity to support its rights and independence w i t h t h at no b le energy and success which had marked and crowned its former efforts..Wheering.) The Noble CHAIRMAN said, the toast he was about to give was most truly an echo of the sentiments they had already heard, and applauded,— , " May the principles of Mr. Pitt for ever animate the Councils of Great Britain." Drank with three times three, and continued applause.—Song, "The Pilot that weather'd the Storm." The Noble CHAIRMAN remarked, that every person must feel the highest satisfaction in seeing the Gallant and Noble General, who had fought his country's battles abroad with such brilliant and unvarrying success, a Member of its Council in the days of peace. lie gave them—" The Duke of \Veiling ton." This toast was received with thunders of applause. - The Duke of WELLisrcrrote - begged leave to return his sincere thanks for the high honour they had conferred on him. Whatever claims their partiality might induce them to dunk he had on their favour, he could assure them he felt that he had none. He ever had, and he ever should feel an affectionate regard and warm admiration for the talents and principles of the late Mr. Pitt.—(Cheers.) The Earl of WESTMORLAND anticipated within himself the unanimous approbation with which the toast he was about to propose would be received. He meant the health of their Noble p r esitlent.—(Approbation.S.—He had offered many apologies for not performing the duties of that office to the full extent of his wishes, anti had regretted the absenceofotherNoble Lords whom indisposition had prevented from attending; but lie (Lord Westmorland) thought such apologies unnecessary, from the very able and satisfactory manner in which he had discharged the duties of his honourable situation ;—(Applause.)—and he took that opportunity of returning him thanks, on the part of his colleagues as well us himself, for the very flattering terms in which he had spoken of their conduct, and to assure him that they must ever be proud of the approval of men whose talents and virtues, independent of fortune and rank, would give them a lofty station in society. His Lordship then proposed " the health of the Right Hon. Lord Kenyon, the President of the day." The toast was drank with three times three and long continued applause. Lord KENYON begged leave, before he returned them his thanks, to communicate to them a letter which had been re ceived by one of his Noble Friends, and which accounted far the absence of his Grace the Duke of Richmond, who was to have presided. "My Lord —As you will be at the Pitt Club Dinner to morrow, you will oblige me by informing the company, that I am prevented by indisposition from attending, my kihysicians having ordered tpe to refrain from company and heat." It was unnecessary for him to recapitulate the constancy and warmth with which his Grace had always espoused the cause of the Club, and be was sure that every gentleman present would join with him in wishing the speedy recovery and re-establishment of his Grace's health. —.'Applause.) —He had to make his best acknowledgment for the manner in which they had been pleased to drink his health ; and to the Noble Lord in parti. cular for the kind manner in which he had proposed it ; and hp must add, that from the unfeigned reverence his ancestor enter tained for the principles and talents of the great man to cele brate whose birth they were then assembled, he felt most truly honoured in having filled the important situation in which they had been pleased to place him. " The Memory of George the Third" was drank in respect. ful silence. The Loan CitasicEr.r.on begged to propose a toast which they had allowed him to give in forme r y ears —" P rosperity and perpetuity to the Pitt Club." He enlarged on the public utility of honours like those rendered that day to the memory of Mr. Pitt. He explained and vindicated the policy of that great Statesman ; and contended that this had not been deviated from by his Majesty's Ministers in the transactions which had lately occupied the attention of the country. Ile was con. vinced that it was the duty of the Goveinment to preserve peace as long as possible. He was willing to grant every ' sort of toleration to Dissenters from the Established Church ; but he could not consent to give up one of the main principles on which the Constitution had been founded in 16811. He was opposed to hazarding any experiments on th e C onst i tut i on of the country, which he hoped would descend unimpaired to their posterity, conveying to them all the benefits which the present generation enjoyed. Considering that institutio n to contribute towards so desirable an end, he anxiously breathed that wish, which was embodied in the toast he had risen to give ••••••" Prosperity and perpetuity to the Pitt Club." The toast having been drunk with three times three, The Noble Citainatast rose to propo se t h e health of the Earl of Eldon, which was d ran k with acchunations. His Lordship returned thanks. On the health of the Earl of HAREWOOD, the President of the Club,..-being drank, his Lordship returned thanks, and ex. plained at some length the object s o f t h e fl u b , and the suetess which had' attended its career in the country as well as in the Metropolis. The Noble CHATR DrAw having proposed the heaths of the Merchant Tailors' Company, and thanks to them fur the use of their Hall, Mr. STRINGER, the Warden, returned thanks, and the Chairman, with the greater part o f t h e Company, left the Bail at about half_p as ti ten. Mr. MACQUEEN, M.P. was then called to the Chair, and those remaining enjoyed themselves till a late hour. In the course of the evening the galleries were occupied by Ladies, and some glees and songs were well sung by the pro fessional singers present. THE ARMY. EDINBURGH, MAY 26.—0 n Thursday the first division of the 7th Dragoon Guards left the Ne w Barracks, Glasgow , for Ireland. Their conduct in that c ity h as b een highly merman ous. They are to be. succeeded by a squadron of the gallant Greys . , who are at present on their march from Forfar, Comae, and other places in the north, and are eXpected to reach Glasgow to-morrow. Two companies of the 73d Regis meat marched from Hull, for our garrison on Wednesday morning, and the remaind er f o ll owe d on T hursday and Fri. day morning. The 77th regiment, which has been ordered to Ire ' land, and a detachment of which marched on Thursday from the Castle, has occupied, for upwards of twelve months, most of the garrisons and infantry stations in Scotland. This regiment, wo believe, had its share in the dangers and glory of the pe ninsular war. At the siege of CuWad Rodrigo, its ,present commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Maclaine, lost a linth in the service, The military ardour of this active officer, how. ever, seems in no way abated by the loss which he has sustained. The conduct of the regiment during its residence amongst us, gained it th e m er i te d regar d e n d parting regrets of our fellow. citizens.
