PARIS, Nov. 19.. • (Palvate LETTElt.)—Great alarm has of late prevailed respectipg the state of the Ktec:'s health. Reports are in circulation on the subject, which are partly true and partly false. As these reports are apt to be propagated in the depart merits, and certainly act on the public funds, 'Ministers take every method in their power to give them an indirect contradiction, or at least to prove that they are greatly exaggerated. For this purpose they induce his Majesty to show himself to his faithful subjects when it would be -better that ho showed himself •to nobody but his 'family and physicians. On Sunday his Majesty expesieneed a severe attack, and rumour was 'buy in spreading the ttlarMing intelligence on the following morning. Three o'clock arrived, acrd `,behold his Majesty issuing from the Tuileries to take his usual promenade in the environs of Paris. As it may be interesting for yon to know Its s e real state of facts, 1 send you the following, .ors which you may implicitly rely. Ilis Majesty: "has tiro passed through a dangerous crisis since "he made part of the procession to Notre Dame to ,celebrate Te Deam. The fatigues of that day :were too severe for his exhausted frame. The flow from his legs ceased for a few hours, and he ' , was in the most -imminent danger. The Maw -event happened towards the end of last week. In both cases the faculty succeeded With much ditli ,eulty in re-opening the wound, and Ovine him the necessary relief. There are probably few in 'stances of a patient' living so long as' his Majesty An a state so deplorable. His chest is entirely 111 ed with water ; his body is u mass of corrnp- Alan ; and the flow - front 'his lower extremities is .so great, that it penetrates in a quarter of an hour a double covering of flannel, besides a -wrapping of bark and cotton, and passes to the 'footstool on which he rests them. Ile does not experience much bodily pain, but -he is up pressed with a perpetual tendency to sleep.-- :Whenleft alone' but for a few minutes, he is `found in a kind of lethargic slumber. lie even sleeps in his carriage when he takes his airing.— lie can scarcely move his legs, and has lost the .usual energy of his aims. His head reclines upon •Lis shoulder, as if he had lost the power of vo luntary motion. In the mean time, the smell • arising front his legs and body, in a state of tip. .proathing dissolution, is painful to himself, and sometimes overpowering tositis attendants. His • : servants and ministers cannot long remain in the roots,-or the cabinet where he receives. them. 'A curious anecdote on the subject is given .oe unquestionable authority, which both shows the deplorable state of his Majesty's health, ,and the equanimity of his temper. The 'Duchess of Berri, a few days ago, carried her ,daughter,. Mademoiselle, to pay him st,visit to his cabinet. The King took the child in his sums, and rested ' her feet upon' his' knew; she, however, very-soon grew uneasy in her position, 'arid looking to her Royal Highness, exclaimed, •" Mammon, /8 rol, it pue." The mother made signs to the child to hold her tongue on this dis agreeable topic, but not understanding them, she 'continued to cry, " Mammon, le -eel true ;" .when llfs Majesty,' without any symptom of uneasiness or displeasure, replied," L'enfant ,a raison, qu'on Pate de-la,"---(the child is 'right, :let her be taken away.) It' is not supposed that his Ma. jesty can linger in this state more than a month .or two, and by the stopping of the flow from his !legs, he may the in' a day's illness. Meanwhile, this precarieus state of the Royal health renders it dangerous for Ministers to .act on the resolu tion taken in Council on Wednesday last with respett to the dissolutiou of the Chambers. They have accordingly postponed the publication of the ordinance till the beginning of Decembers— , ,By that time his Royal Highness the Duke of ,A.nguuletne will be in Paris, and enable them, under the shield of his popularity, to do any thine they choose against the exalted .Ultras.— Thaconditions of the capitulation of Barcelona aud4he remaining fortresses of Catalonia are not yet. disclosed by Ministers.

PARIS,.NOv. 10, 1823 Sri,—Your Journal of the Bth instant contains a long article which is evidently directed against the Loan 1 ha d c o n tracted . with the Spanish Government; though, by the - commencement of the article in question, it might appear to have for its prine!. pal object to provide for the deficit of the obligations contracted by the late Cones. This article, in which arc amalgamated all the absurdities 1 which have been circulated for some time respecting the finances of Spain, must riot remain unanswered by me. It not only in. wives my credit and reputation, which in other respects are happily unassailable in this way, hut it is also necessary to en lighten the public with respect to a system of falsehood and de ception, of which ninny honest families have already become the victims, since they have had the imprudence to speculate on the futile promises of a vanquished party, who are still desirous to be indemnified for the advances they have made to their Spanish brethren. I - contracted on•the 16th of July last a Loan with the Re. gency of Spain. The conditions were finally settled at Madrid by myself, on the 20th of September following. Ilia Catholic Majesty has confirmed them since his deliverance ; and the Act which contains this august confirmation is dated the 20th of October. The Treasurer-General of the Finances has himself been charged to transmit this confirmation to Paris, which ac cordingly was officially transmitted to me on the sth of this month. M. Carassi was also directed to do away all obstacles which interfered with the operation of the Loan. This busi ness has been executed s the definitive terms of the Spanish Government are in my possession, and may be had every day at my bureau, by such subscribers as, being desirous to enjoy the bonus of 51. per cent,, pay the amount of their subscription into my Bank. All the authentic documents concerning the Loan, its con ditions, and its securities, which I verified, may be inspected ut any time, being deposited in my bureau. Such. Sir, is my simple and final answer to the calumniators of au operation which has for its object the establishment of the legitimate throne of Spain, and to consolidate, by the monar chical system, the repose of all Europe. With respect to obligations of the Spanish Revolutionist s, I shall only say, that I know nothing of their invalidation ; since this measure had been decreed by the Regency, and made public both at Paris and London ever since the month of .June last, the period at which I myself had not conceived the • idea of consecrating my services to the Government of Spain; 'but as a party guaranteeing the Royal loan which had been contracted during the revolution, while loans were making by the Cortes, I do not think it useless to remove the errors and misrepresentations contained in your article of the Bth instant. It is not true, Sir i •that the property which his Catholic Ma jesty is about to restore , to the clergy of Spain affects the gua rantee of the loans contracted by the Cortes. The question at present is, us to the propriety of _restoring lands sold in conse quence of the spoliation of the Cortes during - the captivity of the King, and which his Majesty has returned to their legiti mae possessors, on the ,simple grund, that being free upon his throne, lie desires that justice should be placed upon its ancient footing. , • The loans of the Cartes have no other guarantee than the entire revenue of Spain—a guarantee. at once insufficient and indefinite. Their surest guarantee rested on the success of the revolution in Spain, anti the effect of these loans has, pro perly speaking, been to identify the lenders with the views and opinions of the revolutionists. Since the prospect of suc cess leas entirely vanished, the spirit of party-ignorance still persists in misguiding public opinion, by endeavouring to per suade the Spanish people that they are obliged to fulfil the engagemsnts contracted by their oppressors, and to reimburse those dapredatiens which were employed to enrich the gaolers .ae King. Any one -who knows the situation of • Spain, and possesse s good sense, must be convinced that the admission of such claims would be unanimously reprobated by the Spanish nation, and could not be carried into effect. Ills Catholic Majesty, in de finitively.annulling these Loans, has followed the counsels of wisdom, justice, and necessity; for the King of Spain, whose r e putation will• sooner or later come out purified from the . ca lumnies of faction, is desirous of re i g nin g with Spain — ant not against Spain ! I conceive, Sir. that I ought to avail myself of this opportu nity to answer mis-statements, and communicate the truth, respecting the loans of the Cortes, with the single view of in forming the public. I. may add, that the instructions given to the Treasury-General, in the decree which ratifies my loan, concludes in these .words—" He (Mr. (3uebhard) is at liberty to make such arrangements as he may judge necessary with respect to the Royal Loan ; under the express condition that he will take no step leading to a-recognition of the loans made by the self-styled Cortes during the period of tneyevaution. I have the honour to beUIS , &c. G LOUE II El A RD. Taw, OF CASTAIGN.—The French Papers contain scarcely any thing in fact but the questions asked and the answers given by Castaign, and one or two witnesses on the first days of his trial, from which nothing decisive has yet been elicited. If any judgment can be formed at so early a period, the opinion of the medical profes sors examined, seems rather favourable, and cer tainly tender towards the accused, and should they all reply in as undecided a manner as Mr. Laenec 'has done with respect to the indications of poison found in the deceased, we should not be surprised if Castaign should be ultimately ac quitted, notwithstanding the strength of the pre sumptive-evidence marshalled against MM. PRINCE YPSI LA NTI.-4 Toplita, Sept, 9.)—At Theresienstadt I had the good fortune to see Prince YPSILANTI, who had been lately removed to that town. He is treated with much respect, though constantly under a very•strict superin tendence, and is allowed (but always attended by an officer) to go about et liberty within the fortressotccompanied by his younger brother, a Greek naval captain, and four other Greek officers, all of whom were likewise with him at Munkatsch. He appears to be in very gao health. 'He is a tall handsome man, with a high forehead, animated black eyes, black hair, an Italian, rather than a Grecian, nose, and a smile about his mouth. tle wore a white hat, and dark blue great coat. His brother appeared pale and melancholy. They have several well fur nished rooms, and are in want for nothing, 60 florins a day being allowed, as I was told, for their support.—(From the Hesperus.) Silt It. WILSON AND VI DET OF ALGIERS. —A. curious adventure Sir . Ronewr has had since the full of Cadiz. All efforts being found fruit. less, he was determined to prevent, as far as be was able, the means of further annoyance, by carrying off three barrels of gunpowder in a vessel in which he escaped. The currents car ried the boat into the Bay of Algiers, he de manded an interview with the DEY, and begged his Highness's acceptance of the present, which was most graciously received. The Des: detained Sir Roaewr two days in the Palace, and allowed him to visit his Harem, as a mark of special con descension. But the most important achievement of all was a solemn pledge given by the Dey, that the persons and property of all the Spanish Liberals should be respected by his people. — Subsequently to this, Sir RoneuT returned to Gibraltarond again went to Cadiz, where he had an interview with FERDINAND. (Morning Post. EARTnatume.—(From the Maine, Nov. u.)-- Two shocks of an earthquake were felt within a few minutes, on the 18th October, near Meech. bete), ten leagues from Baireuth; a noise was heard like long-continued and distant thunder ; in the open field the ground appeared to oscil late, and the wiudows of the houses shook vio lently. T II '1 7 4 ARMY. COURT. MA RTIAL. HoltsE GUARDS, NOV. 6. At a General Court Martial held at Kingston Berme Jamaica, on the 19th of May, 1823, and continued by adjournments to the 25th of the same month, Captain James Fogo, of the ltoyal .Artillery, was arraigned upon the under mentioned charge, viz. . • For conduct unbecoming the cliaracterlf At) .4)ifcer anti a Gentleman, in drawing . his sword, and violently assaulting and striking Lieutenant Cookson, of the Royal Artillery, on the 120 May, 1323, such conduct being much aggravated by its haying taken place at the head-quarters of the Major-Gene ral commanding the Forces, and in presence of his (Captain Fogo's) Commanding Officer, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel-Hol combe, commanding the Artillery, he being at the same time endeavouring, in pursuance of his orders from the Major-Ge neral commanding, to effect an amicable adjustment of a pre.. vious misunderstanding between the prisoner and Lieutenant Cookson." Upon which charge the Court came to the following deci. sion : " The Court have patiently and maturely weighed and con sidered the prosecution and evidence offered and recorded against the prisoner, Captain James Fop, of the Royal Artillery, as well as what he has acknowledged, alleged, and proved in his defence, is of opinion that he is guilty of the charge exhibited aminst him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, the Court loth sentence him to be cashiered. " Having . thus awarded the specific punishment, which the Articles of War prescribe, the Court cannot but feel a strong, and as they trust, a pardonable impulse, to interest themselves in the prisoner's favour. " Circumstances have appeared to the Court (in addition to those recorded on the proceedings) amounting to a conviction that the prisoner laboured under considerable irritation. of mind, and although it is the duty of the Court to sentence the prisoner to the utmost extent for the act which that irritation produced, they are satisfied it was not premeditated, but the sudden paroxysm of a distracted moment. " in thus presuming to express a w ish in ,extenuation of a I crime so disgraceful and injurious to his Majesty's Service, the • Court cannot avoid being impressed with a hope, that the cir cumstances of this case, together with the prisoner's long and active services in a Corps so distinguished as the Royal Artil lery, the favourable testimony of disposition and former cha racter given him on this occasion, and confirmed by many l e tters produced to the Court from General Officers in his Ma jesty's Service, addressed to the prisoner, his having a famil y , and the evident shame and contrition since expressed and evinced by the prisoner, may in the whole plead in his favour, and pray for an alteration of his sentence. With these feelings the Court beg leave most humbly and respectfully to recom mend him to the gradious consideration of his Majesty. " In closing these proceedings it becomes the painfulduty of the Court to note, that the reluctance with which the prosecu tor, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Holcombe,. answered many parts of his cross-examination, did not escape its observation ; and the Court further considers it an indispensable duty to mark and animadvert on the unwillingness and inconsiteney of 'Lieutenant Heath's evidence, considering the station and situa tion he held in. the room in which the affair took place at head quarters on the 12th of May, 1823." The King has been pleased to approve and confirm the find ing and sentence of the Court : but in consideration of the long services of Captain Fog°, the, high testimonials gi v e n to his character, the aggravating circumstances which led to the offence, and the strong recommendation of the Court in his favour, his Majesty has been graciously pleased to remit the sentence, which appeared, moreover, to have been adjudged by the Court under an erroneous impression, that it was bound by law to pass it. In extending, however, the King's gracious clemency to wards the prisoner, his .5 7 Iajesty observed that his displeasure at the intemperate and outrageous act committed by Captain Vogt), could nut be too strongly expressed. His Majesty con. sidered this act to have been so subversive of discipline, and of every principle of good order and decorum, us to have pre, eluded a lenient or favourable view of the ease, if it had not appeared to his Majesty, that the offence committed by Capt. logo was not one of premeditation, but arising from a sudden impulse, elicited by the most irritating and insulting language addressed towards hini by an inferior officer. this Majesty has therefore been . pleased to command that Captain Fego shall be severely . reprunanded, •and strongly ad monished nut to suffer his passions again to surprise hint into the committal of an offence which is equally at variance with the principles of discipline, with the laws of his country, and with the rules and habits of society. Unpn con siderationof the circumstances which have justly' called fortis the.censure of the Court upon the conduct of Lieut.- 'Colonel Holcombe and Lieut. Heath, his Majesty has beets pleased to . conamand, that those officers shall be informed of the regret twirl:ed dii ! ipleahure with which his Majesty has viewed a proceeding rtes diarreditabla to their characters.

FREE TRANSLATION. -- A person of notorious rudeness and ignorance recently contrived to thrust himself into the company of several lite rary gentlemen, one of whom happened to be reading aloud to the others from a certain Latin Author. On coming to the, words " puppim conscendere navis," he was abruptly asked by the intruder what they meant. " They mean, send the knavish puppy away," replied the gentle man, at the same time looking him stedfastly and severely ht the face. This hint, seconded by a general laugh, was not lost, for the puppy imme diately withdrew in dogged silence. We understand that a Steam-packet Company is now forming at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for the purpose of conveying goods and passengers be tween that port and London. Matters are so far matured, that orders are given to prepare a. vessel of five hundred tons burthen, with en gines equal to one hundred horses' power. — Her extreme length will be 140 feet,and breadth feet 3 inches.

Judging from the known ability of the draughtsman and shipwright, and the tried professional skill of the engineers, (says our Correspondent) there is every reason to believe that she will be equal in point of equipment, both ex. ternally and internally, to any vessel of the kind in the United Kingdom. 1 t is expected that she will he ready for sea in June next : she is to be call ed the Northumberland.

ATmospilintic PuENomENON. -011 Thursday evening, about half-part four o'clock, we observ ed a most extraordinary phenomenon in the at mosphere. 'While the rain descended in torrents, the southern part of the heavens became suddenly illuminated, and continued increasing its light for about ten minutes. The thermometer rose, in this time, 15 degrees, and the barometer was very sensibly affected. The sky appeared on fire. People felt a degree of alarm almost as if the final day was upproaching, for nature seemed to wear a face of direful anger. At length, how ever, the rain ceased, and the heavens assumed a serene aspect, since which the temperature and state of the weather have been mild and agree able. We should be glad that some of our scien tific readers would favour U 3 with their opinion of this extraordinary appearance. It is to be remarked that just before the brightening, the la tmoshere had been unusually dal k.—( Waterford Mirror, Nov. 8.) THE MURDER OF MR. WEARE. A curious circumstance occurred yesterday at Hertford, which excited some sensation in the jail. The Ala- gistrates made a sudden alteration in the places where Thurtell, Ihmt, and Probert, are confined. Hunt, upon his committal, wastlacecl,n the female ward, which adjoin} the d s' wing of tltt prison, and the yitfi whlnittVosiun. ally to exercise, was separated only by a wall, noNt i l consider- able height, from that part of the prison in which Thurtell was placed; but yesterday a transposition took place of the apart ments of these two prisoners—Thurtell was removed to Hunt's room, and Hunt to Thurtell's. Several reasons were assigned for this transposition. The improbable rumour of a rescue was mentioned among the rest; but the simple fact is this,—Mr. Jay, the solicitor of Norwich, was deputed by Thurtell's family to assist him in his defence, and he repaired on Thursday (as we mentioned yesterday) to Hertford, in company with Mr. Fenton, the solicitor, of Austinfriars, who is his town agent, and Mr. Charles Pearson, to make the preliminary arrangements in behalf of Thurtell. The Magistrates admitted Mr. Jay at once, as the solicitor of Thurtell; but they refused permission to any .second person, and went so far as to declare, that when Mr. Jay was once admitted, he was to be considered as the soli citor for the prisoner : however, as we stated yesterday, Mr. Fenton will conduct the defence ; and if the Magistrates insist upon the rigid enforcement of their first order, that nobody but Mr. Jay shall have professional access to Thurtell, then an application to the Secretary of State for the Home Department will, it is said, be promptl* made, to afford to Mr. Fenton the necessary access to his client for professional purposes. But shortly after the arrival of Mr. Jay and Mr. Fenton, Mr. Charles Pearson, who accom panied them, was arrested by an officer of the Under-Sheriff, Mr. Nicholson, upon a debt for a hill of exchange. The Ma gistrates immediately took the precaution of removing Thor tell from one apartment to another, so as to preclude every possible access between that prisoner and Mr. Pearson, should the Sheriff's officer, in discharge of his duty; deem it necessary to lodge him in the county gaol. In fact, the Magistrates, act ing upon an opinion that it was possible the arrest of Mr. Pearson might he connected with some plan for secret commu• nication with the prisoners, ordered the immediate change of rooms already mentioned. The gentlemen who ,accompanied Mr. Person offered a bail-bond to the Under-Sheriff, but the latter declined accepting their responsibility, as they were not residents in the county. Mr. Nicholson, the Under-Sheriff; is not professionally em ployed by Probert : he has visited him, as well as the other Rrisoners, front the duty imposed by his official situation, but in no other capacity. " Harry Lee" (according to a letter which we have received from him) positively denies that a warrant was issued against him for any thing connected with Thurtell's case, and appeals to the police officers for a verification of his denial. He also absolutely contradicts the statement that he was engaged in a gambling speculation at last Doncaster races, and declares that, so far from being the person who was in Tetsall's house on the night of John Thurtell's arrest there by Ruthven, he was never in that house in his life. GILL'S-HILL COTTACH• Yesterday, pursuant to public notice, the " sale of effects" at' Probert's cottage took place. Unimportant as this matter was with respect to the value of the property to be sold, it nevertheless attracted a considerable share of public attention, owing to the deep interest which is felt in every thing connected with the horrible transaction which has agitated the whole kingdom for the last fortnight. The sale did nut ta:.‘e place on the premises, but in an extensive barn belonging to Mr. Walker, on the opposite side of the lane. About 250 persons were as sembled here, most of whom were inhabitants of the neigh bourhood, though not a few had come from London to be pre sent on the occasion. At one o'clock, Mr. Gutteridge, an auc tioneer of St. Alban's, addressed the company, and informed them that all the property would be sold without any reserve, and that the conditions of the sale were, that all the lots should be paid for and taken away during the course of the day. There were 90 lots, consisting of different articles of furniture, Pro ! . bert's horse and gig, 4r,c. Before the sale commenced, a mes senger brought a notice to the auctioneer, of which the follow ing is a copy : _ . _ " I hereby give you notice, that the brown horse you have seized, as the property of William Probert, belongs to the as. signees of the estate and effects of Thomas Thurtell, a bank rupt; and.that if you proceed to the sale thereof, the said assignees will hold you liable for the value thereof, and for all damage sustained thereby :—and I hereby forbid the sale of the said horse, and demand the same from your custody and possession. _ _ " J. S. HEWETT, Solicitor to Win. George Cole, " and Edward Banyard. " To the Sheriff of the county of Hertford, his officer, or whomsoever it may concern.' " Dated this 14th day of November." There were 90 lots in all, which sold generally at low prices. A 4-feet 6-inch tent bedstead and furniture, in which Miss Noyes was accustomed to sleep, sold for 21.125. 6d. ; a similar bed, in which Probert slept, was knocked down for 2/. 10s. ; a chest of drawers for 31. 18s. ; and a mahogany 100 table for 4/. 16s. John Thurtell's double barrelled gun, by Moore was purchased for 171., by Mr. Schneider, of Potter's Bar, Ilerts: it was an excellent piece. The couch on which Hunt reposed on the night of the murder sold for 31. 10s. The horse was sold for 1771 guineas ; the gig which was very n eat, painted green land lined with blue, for 191. ; the harp ess for 41. These three lots were purchased by Mr. Brett, of St. Alban's. When the horse was offered for sale, the messenger who had brought the notice above given, told the auctioner that he would proceed to sell it at his peril, A polled cow sold for 61. 17s. 6d., and a sporting dog was knocked down at the low price of 3s. These were the most important lots which were disposed of. The whole produce of the sale was 1381. 14s. The cottage now remains entirely destitute of furniture. It will be pulled down as soon as it ceases to be an object of curiosity, and no more money can be gained by showing it. Northing new transpired at Watford yesterday respecting Weare's murder. St. ALmaies.—Mrs. Probert and Miss Noyes are both of them so much indisposed as to keep their beds, and require the attendance of a medical gentleman ; they are little disposed to eat, but have every indulgence and attention consistent with the peculiar situation in which they are placed. They are in separate rooms, and both greatly depressed. Mr. Noyes is not i roned : he has a person constantly with him day and night. Miss and Mrs. Noyes are remanded for reexamination ; not so with Mrs. Probert, who, however, rema i ns here for the present, as is presumed; for the prevention of improper communication with others.

SCOTLAND. DR. CHALMERS' FAREWELL SERMON.-EM . PLOYMENT OF THE MILITARY. [From the Glasgow Free Press.] • This eloquent and excellent Alinister and Philosopher preach ed his Fareviell Discourse, last Sunday, in that Church which has so often been the arena of more splendid oratory, earnest in vocation, and fervid exhortation, than perhaps any other place of worship in the kingdom. Had the object of the Doctor been popularity, that object was attained on Sunday in a most emi nent degree. The throngs that poured into, Macfarlane-street were immense, and apparently all respectable. The Church was crowded almost to suffocation. The Doctor himself, either from the excessive heat, or from his own powerful efforts, was overcome in the middle of his discourse, and compelled to give out a Psalm until he had time to recruit himself. _Hundreds were obliged to stand.—Mr. Edward Irving was one of the number. The calling out of the Military to repress the crowd, who struggled to gain admittance, Ina been much and severely com mented upon. Dr. Chalmers, however, had nothing to do with • it—it was the work of some injudicious individual. It being generally understood that this was to be the last day of the Rev. Doctor's ministrations in this city, so early as ten o'clock a great crowd had assembled in front of the Ch u rch, anxious to gain admittance; anti though police officers were early on the spot,such was the determination of the multitude to get in, that all efforts to restrain them proved fruitless, and they continued to force their way in spite of the exertions of the Elders and several of the leading members of the congregation to restrain them ; whilethose who rented sea ts, particularly the most respectable part of the sitters (many of whom were ladies, and could not undergo the pressure), were quietly walking up and down the street, waiting with patience the result of this un precedented occurrence, while at the same time they were most desirous to hear the last sermon of their favourite Pastor. Seeing no prospect of restraining the exertions of those who were at tempting to force in, it was deemed necessary to send to the Bar racks for a military guard, and a party of the 73d regiment ac cordingly arrived about half-past ten, who took their station on the stair leading into the Church, and were of great service in keeping back the crowd ; but in spite of their best endeavours. it was with difficulty they could preserve order, the people still continuing to press forward, and it not being easy to determine who were sitters and who • were not. Things went on in this way till past eleven o'clock, when a great part of the coat, gation being still on the outside, several Gentlemen ascendd the stair-case, ordered the main door to be shut, and the mil!: tary to clear away the crowd.
