BUONAPARTE. The following description of the persl:l of BuoNAPARTE has been recently given by Mr. GoLDssIITH, and from all we have seen, is the most exact that has yekappeared : " When .I first beheld the personage who had then been so. much the talk and attention of the whole world, his appearancermade a very forcible impression . on myrnind. His person has often been described; but I do not think sufficiently correct. In statue he is shOrt, being not above, s'feet 4 inches high, and 'leis of slender make, though of late years be has become corpulent— (he fattens upon human gore). The contour of his face is.exaictly like the resemblance which is Stamped on the present coinage of France... His /fair, which is 'of the darkest brown, be wears . cropped and combed straight over his face. , His complexionis of a very uncommon cast ; it is t ex cessively sallow and ghastly ; and very mach. liktt . that of a dead person.. Alis eyes too are-dark brown in colour, very large ; and greatly sunk in their sockets ; they ma). upon the whole, he termed hollow and unmeaning, for they are never marked by any strong expression ; when his pas sions are raised, when he is enraged or pleased, when even he coquets with the fair sex, no altera,a tion is perceptible in his eyes, for they always re tain their natural inexpressive dullness. his bead is disproportionahlv" Loge for the rest of his body, and the general aspect of his loOks is a settled - gloom. " Seldom he smiles; and smiles in such a sort, As if lie mocled hintsi•lf, and scoi-o'd his spirit That could he rnov'd to smile at any thint:;. Such men as he'be never at hearC, ease." , When, however, he is surprised into a smile, •he displays the most beautiful set of teeth I ever beheld. His hands are singularly white lind well-shaped, more ( like those of a woman than . a man'; have, however, remarked that they shake very Much, like a person afflicted with a paralytic affection. He has also a very handsome leg and foot. His general appear"- tince, however, is inelegant and utterly devoid of diirnitv • -~---r►~---_ The following ext.ract from Tice Leeds Intelli gencer,- on the strange perversion of intellect with which some people defend the greatest atro cities of"Buonaparte, are deserving of attention. " One person tells you, that the usurpation 'of Spain was intended as a benefit to its inhabitants : smother gravely argues, that the Berlin 'Decree was occasioned by our Orders in Council ; and a third madman declares himself ready to fight any one ; who will,not believe the murders of Palm, Toussaint", Pichegru, Ilofer, and D'En ghien,•to bc'proofs of extraordinary mildness and magnanimity. Different motives prompt different Persons to these , apologies for the most detestable of tyrants. Factiousness, and disappointed am, tition, influence some ; credulity, and a foolish admiration of talents disjoined from virtue;ope- Fate oa others ; but the weakness, which most coamionly produces this effect, is called liberali ty,—not the 'great and amiable virtue, which justly deserves that' name ; but a bastard senti ment, uniformly exercised in defence of the arro gant pretensions of. au unprincipled enemy, and against every thing which has been held sacred by the greatest and wisest,of mankind. " It is a lamentable thing to observe, that no measure 'of lawless rapacity can be adopted by the revolutionary banditti of Prance, but some Mem ber- of the British Senate,—some descepdant of an ancient and honOurable family —some Statesnmn Who has been, at one time or other,, in the, ser vice and confidence of the CroWn,—steps- forward to palliate, or vindicate, or applaud it, and is beard without disgust, perhaps ! with marked ap probation. Indeed, Sir, I_ fear, that the preva lence of these anti-patriotic opinions is synipto matic of a very general disease in the body po litic,—a weakness both of principle and intellect, not confined to one party or set of men, but spreading through . all classes, 'loosening the very cement and holdings of society, and preparing our State to fall,,like Athens before the modern Phi- , lip. If this man be really most deserving to wear the Imperial Crown of Europe,--if his fierce vio knees he hut so, many marks of a' profounder and mere enlightened, policy than the world yet haS witnessed,—in God's name, let us abjure all oppo sition to his will, and 'hasten to supplicate" his fa vour and protection, putting far away kom us al/ proud thoughts of what our ancestors. once were, or what blood we bear in our veins ; bnt - if we klare to entertain a thought of national independ 7 tnee,—if there be common sense in the noble struggles of a Nelson or a Wellington,—if, in short, we be not guilty of maf:ness in resisting Buonaparte, let tics examine his acts on sounder principles, and by a more, plain , nal -downright mode of reasoning,—let us speak of him as he is, us wisely suspect ,of fraud and falsehood whatever proceeds from such a convicted hypo .c,rite and liar,—let us listen with incredulity and contempt to the panegyrists of such a tyrant." Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ had beempreseuted with an elegant sword from the Citows; PuiNcr, of SWEDEN, valued at nearly three thousand pounds, was sent to him by hisAid-de ; Camp „Count EssEN. Letters from Constantinople, .of. the 24th of Zeptember; state, that both Count Italinsky and Tchitschagolf had been authorised to• offer the renunciation of all the countries situated on the left bank of the Pruth by tha Russians, 4n•ovided the Ottoman Porte would conch•de with that Power an offensive treaty of alliance ; but this proposal, the object of which- was to arm the Grand'Seignior against the French and Austrians, bas failed: The'.Lisbon Gazette saysohnt on the 21st ult. Marshal Beresford came to Lisbon from Cintra, eptirely recovered from his wonnd. A solemn dirge will be performed on Friday next in the Sardinian Catholic Chapel, Lincoln'* Jun-fields, for the repose of the soul of his Excel iener,Pniur• ST.

That fine _regime the 47th, con►n►anded by Major BROAD (which corps so gallantly distill gnished itself in‘the'delente of Tariff)), on leav ing Seville to join General HILL was inspected\ hy Colonel LAMBERT, who expressed, in high terms, his approbation of its excellent order and good discipline. The Light Division under the command of `Major-General MACKENZIE, whO are at Hythe, `composed of two brigades, under Sir N.YEAcricK and Colonel CUYLER', and consisting of the , 43d, 52d, 7lst, 85th, 2d and 3dbattalions 95tit,' were 'reviewed by Lord ROSSLYN, on ShOrncliif, last Thursday., The division of the Dorset regiment, of Militia, - which ,marched for Berry-head, about a fortnight ago, returned,again lass week through Truro, for F►alinouth. The Bedfordshire Militia marched into Yar r!„Juth on Saturday, to do, garrison duty, in the room of the Royal South Lincoln. , - The South Lincoln Regiment of Militia is or drred to do duty over the French prisoners con fined at Norman Cross Barracks. The following extract of a letter purports to give some account of the result of the recently adopted plan for .raising negro recruits on the coast of Africa " !inner Island (Africa), Sept. 18, ISM " I take the earliest opportunity to inform you of the degree of Success that has attended the African Recruiting Establishment., " Major Wingfield marked at Portsmouth on hoard the Herald transport, his Staff consisting of Adjutant Henry Barry Hyde, Lieutenants Gregg and Fitzgerald, Surgeon James JohnstOn,'Ensign: Mac Queen, and Paymaster Eastlake; together with three • officers of the Royal African Corps, and eighty men. The Herald proceeded to Africa, which .coast we made on the 19th of July. We land . ed a few of the African Corps and one officer at Senegal, a few men and one officer at Goi•ee, and the remainder of the African Corps at Sierra Leone. " The Herald proceeded from Sierra Leone to Illaner Island, the depot for the African Reerniing Estlbliihment, where the vacancies in the diffe rent West India regiments arc to be filled up, which Will be done inucti . sooner than was anti cipated. _ _ _ Four Kings or Chieftains have come to this place front considerable distances up. the river, particularly the Rio Congo, and have tendered their services to the Recruiting Eitablishment. Volunteers are flocking in every day. We shall be enabled to send to the West I►►dies by the first of October next, 355 fine men and boys, from 14 to 18 years of age, in the Hernld 'transport. The troops are wonderfully docile." The Malton Coursing , Meeting:was. to cOm 7 mence on Monday last, and the promise -of wea ther appeared favourable. . BOKERS.—There are no less than four boxing matches . on the tapis, three of which will be de cided on Monday next, in EsSex, as arrangements now stand. The first, which has excited as much interest as any combat the last seven years, and on which many thousands are depending, will be betwixt Powers, the reputed best I2st. fighter of the day, and Carter the Lancashire man s who won his maiden fight with Bvne two months since, and promise.s to' aspire to beeotne first on the list. Fuller; a promising pupil of Richmond's, will fight Jay; and Lancaster Will fight a Jew much thought of. Dutch ,Sam, the phenomenon, who baffles calculation, and Belcher will be matched immediately, and fight off hand. Another Mail Robbery.—On the evening of Fri day se'nnight, the postman conveying the mail • frorß Slaryport to Cockermouth, was stopped Within a mile of the latter place, and robbed.of •• the bag of letters from Maryport to Cocker mouth, and also the bag. for London, by two footpads, who pulkl him from his' horse ; and, whilst one of the villains held a pistol to his head, with threats, the other unloosed the' hags, with which they made off. Fortunately the bags con wined nothing of consequence. Last night, about six o'.clock, iewas discover ed that John Chaplin, of Eagle and Child -court, Shoe-lane, had murdered his wife, by cutting her throat from ear to ear. Surgical assistance was immediately prOcured, but too late, the unfortunate woman having been dead some time. The man Was taken to the Cornpter. This isthe;saine person who was some time since taken by Mr. Taylor, of • Shoe-lane, before the Sitting Alderman; when • the Prison Surgeton-delared he was not insane, and he was then discharged, much to the regret of the neighbourhood, • HYDROPHOBIA.-On Tuesday the sth 'of May, al3hceste ivho had been bitten three weeks before in the leg, by a mad dog, was carried to the nit tive Hospital, about three o'clock iu the after noon,.with the symptoms of hydrophobia strong ly upon him. Ile was immediately bled to the extent of forty' ounces. The symptoms of the -disease yielded in succession as the blood flowed ; and before the vein was closed, he stretched out his hand for a cup of water, and calmly drank it off, though the mere approach of water but a few minutes before had thrown him.into convulsions. After the bleeding he lay down on a cot, fell 'asleep and continued so for nearly t i wo hour:;. When he awoke, 'the sympto►ns Of the disease were ithreatening to return ; another vein was. then opened„ and eight ounces more of blood ta ken away, which so completely subdued the dis ease, that he has not had a symptom of it since. A ease lately published in the Madras Rapers, as successfully treated by bleeding, mercury, and opium, by Mr. Tycoon, Surgeon to his Majesty's 22d Dragoons, led to the practice adopted in .his instance ; and which, it is gratifying to remark, has even been'more successful than on the former occasion ; the cure, in - the latter case, having been almost instantaneously effected, and that 'by bleeding alone, without the aid of either mer cury or opium ; for though these remedies were subsequently used, it was evident that the disease was previously and entirely overcome by the Ileeding.—Madras Gazette, LteOTLANT). STIRLING ELECTION. The candidates for this district of burghs *eic General Campbell of Afonze, and the Hon. Gene ral Maitland but that Gentleman being electe) for the , Haddington district of burghs, his friends .pronosed Henry Brougham, Esq. The d'elegateS, holding sealed commissiovs, for Drunferniline, Queen3ferry, and Stirling' (the re= turning; burgh), voted-for General Campbell, Who . was' accordingly returned as duly elected. The delegate for Ctilross voted for Mr. Brougham. General, Maitland, the delegate.for Inverkeithing, Was unavoidably absent.• We understand the friends of Mr..Brongbain objected to the vote of Stirling, alleging that it Was in his favour, as One Of the votes for the delegate was illegal, which gave him the majority, and therefore that Stirling being the :returning burgh, decided the election for him. The merits of the election, we under stand, will be tried before the House of Com- MOM' . AGRICULTURAL' REPORTS FOR OCTOBER EAST LOTIT During the greater part 'of the month, the wea ther has been very unfavourable for harvest Opera . flops. On the Lith, a high west vvind caused ge ne-1.4 alarm for the - safety of the later fields of grain, especially it, the 'higher district of the coiwty, where a considerable part of the crop was still to cut ; fortunafely, however, the injury sustained was far less extensive than might have he:en ex pected,; although, at the same tiMe, sevel-al indi - - viduals Who hail wheat, barley, or pot atoe oats, on - exposed situations, experienced . considerable loss by shaking.—Prom the above period till about the 20th, the prospect was extremely gloomy and disheartening to many, who saw the far • greater part of their cro p s d renc h e d an d soa k e d for weeks • with almost daily rains'. M the *eatherhas been inure settled for the last ten 'days, it is pleasant to report, that, with the exception of 'a few fields on cold high etonsures, the whole the greater proportion of pease an,i . beans, have been carried into. the stack-yiard in tolerable con:- dition, having even sustained less damage than the late crops,oflast season, The stack-y ar d s , i n general, are pretty well filled, and the most of iarmeris arc tolerably well pleased, but!, with the bulk and thi - yielding of their crops. Great part of the potatoes arc lifted, the crop being abundant, as well as fine in quality, as formerly noticed.— Most of the summer fallows are sown with wheat, but little has been got in after pease or beans ; few weeks more of dry Weather will therefore be necessary - for the finisUingpf that important bu siness Hay has sold readily at Is. per stone; this artiele'being no doubt 'affected by the present high price of _oats. • Corn markets have risen very considerably, dur ing the last two weeks: The farmers having been busily engaged in securing Cher cops and in sow ing their wheat, joined to the total want Of old grain in the country, may, in a great measure, be sufficient to account for the late unexpected ad vance, 'but a considerable reduction in the price may reasonably be expected in a few.wecks. ' Butcher markets have been well supplied, with little or no_ reduction in price, beef and mutton being from 7d. to 9cf. per pound ; butter from is. 6d. to Is. Bd, per pouml ; and eggs from I. to Is. 3d. per dozen.—Oct. 31. FORFAR S fil RE. The Tveather,,duriog this month, has been vari able and unsettled, and the important operat;ons of harvest consequently delayed. Scarcely a day htis passed without heavy showers, but, as these we:e generally succeeded by, blowing weather, the damage sustained has not been very ma- The.fields are now mostly clear (except in the upland parts of the coiinty, where several fields of late oats are stilt Exposed to tke weather), and the stack-yards present an ordinary bulk. On the Whole, the crop has been as well secured as could have been loOked for in so late a seaso n. The wheats having been mostly got in last month, suf fered no damage, and turn out well as to both, hut the quantity of hurt grain is grewer than last year. , Barley is an ordinary crop, and much of it being too early carried in, is hurt and discoloured. Oats, when on the ground, promised an untom mod return; they are, hOwever, at least two pecks of meal per boll deficient of last year ; the crop is equal to an average. • Peas and Beans are far froM being productive, except as to straw. 'Turnips, on dry land,, have improved during the last month, and many fieldi exhibit the appearance of . a deeent crop, yet the roots are not so large as usual. Potatoes are now taking up, and are Of ordinary abundance. The _ price of grain is higher than usual at the beginning of the season, and the markets of late but indiffe rently supplied. Wheat brings from 455. to 555. Barley 305.. Oats from 265. to 325. per boll; Meal. 2,g „per' peck. • The sown wheats after fallow look well, bay ink got a dry seed-bed. Little is yet put into the ground of eke green crops. Land rent is not on the rise, and few offerers appear for farms.-oe tuber 31'. FROM Tilt: LONDON GAZ:ETrE, Nov. 10. 'PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. J.

On receiving this information, Mr. Wilson diatelv mustered a crew, and prOceeded, in-quest of the vessel', in the revenue boat statitin-.A at Glenarm; which is only about nineteen feet in the ketA. After upwards of two hours sailing, in a. strong gale of wind, and the sea running nun; tains high, he came up with her, about mid-chin; - - net, bet Ween Abe Whillans rocks and the ro c k. of t ilsa.. 1-1 e gave orders to:get the grappling clekr; and running up alongside to leeward s effected i :' boarding,. at theimminent danger of their lives this Was about twelve o'clock at noon.

Some..oays ago, a mite of 1001. supposed to be' one of the nineteen which bad been taken from a gentleman unknown, in Tucker's-row, about a month since, was stopped, and notice sent to the police-office, Marlborough-place. The persom who tendered it was taken•into custody, together with a woman from whom he alleged that he had received the note. • Upon examination of the par ties, it appeared that the man was not implicated in the transaction, but some circumstances were disclosed which induced the Magistrates tr; detain the woman. 'Every exertion was then made to , discover the channel through which the note hid come into her possession, and at length it was d covered, in the month of June last, a bank note of 1001. had-been entrusted to the late husband of this woman, who was at that time guard to a mail-coach, for the purpose of being securely con veyed to a respectable merchant in ' a country town; that the husband had embezzled the money, and- that the note in questiOn was, the identical note so given to the husband. fp • A dreadful accident t oo k pl ace lately in one of the lead mines at Arkengarthdale.
