REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY.—COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which It is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it Is the best and most wholesome of spirits, but, when new it is deficient in its good and medicinal properties ; while, if adulterated with British Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflamma tory spirit. The great difficulty in procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy, and the higk duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many persons from using it; but now that a good and genuine article may be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to expect a great increase in the consumption. To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to avail himeif of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy Trade as an Importer. lie holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy, pale and brown, in this country, and, in accordance with the wishes and recommendations of his numerous friends, he has taken out A Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of It in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. He pledges himself to sell none but the best OLD COGNAC BRANDY, genuine as Imported, and carefully selected. To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be galisfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the soft and fra grau: flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent, and frequently adulterated spirit until now imposed on the public, he recommends a trial, with reliance upon their Judgment in favour of the superior quality of his Brandy. Mr. SNIGNETTE begs also to offer to the public the best Hollands Geneva that can be imported. Prices for Cash on delivery, in quantities not less than two gallons, 24e. per gallon for the best Brown Cognac Brandy. 265. ~ best rale ditto. 30s. best Geneva (Hollauds). A liberal allowance to the trade, to whom Mr. BEIGNETTE takes the .opportunity of offering his Brandies and Geneva in bond at cur market prices.

SHIRTS REGISTERED.—GentIemen are re quosteki to observe that these garments in the most useful, 'also the finest qualities, in the best workmanship, and at most mode gate prices, can be had at the REGISTERED SHIRT WARE MOUSE, 42, Regent-circus, which has been established under the nest influential patronage. The attention of the philanthropic public has been attracted to the degrading system of low wages pursued for a number of years in this extensive and almost only br,kneh of female industry, the Proprietor begs to state that in the form of the registered shirt a very great improvement is effected, and at the same time no absurd novelty is therein introduced, bat that car;e is taken to preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this garment, together with a plain smooth setting front, and to retain this appear;Mce during the whole time in wear. It is presumed that this object ha_ I not been attained by others commonly in use, which, too often rising in wrinkled folds with the slightest movement of the body, at once dest:fOys the neat appearance so desirable, yet usually omitted in this essential but hitherto mutts neglected article of dress. But a nuttier and most important advantage is offored ; the material of those parts which are see:l when the shirt Is worn, viz., the fronts, collars, and wristbands, are composed of the most beautiful of that fabric almost the sole manufacture for which Ireland has obtained celebrity, and the golden flax lineg or cambric is now well known to be pre-eminent in the purity of its bleach, presenting in those por tions of the registered shirt as described a beautiful snow white ap pearance. Use 4 .Regent-ctrcus, being the warehouse fur the Weet-end, none but best workers are there employed, remunerative wages ;being paid, notwithstandi ng d shirtwhwhich, there is no difference in the and the ordinary shirt.

Upon this Madame Massqlissuredlths i i . , that she per fectly:recollected his voicef.—Witkorkkegtatd to theletters she had received, denAticiii:Valthialisand ounces of gold for the release of her son, but she could not send it, ke cause her whole fortune was not equal to the ainount, and all - she had was settled upon her children. Madame Massot was asked by the Procureur-General whether her husband had not been, at another time, arrested in like manner, and redeemed himself from captivity by giving a large sum of money. She replied that she was not able to state the fact ; bufrM. Villelongue knew more about it than she did. Madame Massot thee be- came so faint that she was obliged to be taken oTitiff court. M. Villelongue, being called, deposed that M. Massot had informed him, that about three years ago he was taken by bsigands, and kept in secret confi'oe went. They at first fixed his ransom at 60.000 f., but afterwards reduced it to 15,000 r., which sum being paid he was liberated, At the close of the hearing, at which the ainve evidence of Madame Massot and M. Ville longue was given, Simon renewed his intimation to the President that he desired not to appear in Court the next day ; b u t th e P res id ent wou ld not li sten to his re quest. The whole of the witnesses having been heard, the Procureur.General addressed the court and jury, in a speech which lasted three hours, and was listened to throughout with the profoundest attention and the deepest interest. He concluded by calling upon the jury to deliver a verdict which would strike tesolr into these violaters of humanity, and deter others from committing the same atrocities. He was replied.to by two counsel engaged for the pri soners , who rgued against the jurisdiction of the Court, on the ground of the crimes with which their clients stood charged being committed in Spain. On the ninth and last day, the President, previous to his summing up, asked the pet soners whether they had any thing to say in their own defence. Simon said, " All I ask is death, and no other punishment; for if France will commit anotnjustice, let it be complete." Camps, alias Sale, another, sat, " You have been told that I killed a Mousou de la Escuada. I have killed not one but several of them, and if I had been at the plunder of the diligence, I would have washed my hands in their blood." A third, named Barlabe alias Negret, denied that he was at the robbery of diligence, and declared that if he .had been he would hav e cu t th e th roa t s o f a ll the officers in it, in revenge for the death of his relations, who had been murdered by their political enemies," The rest of the pri soners sa id not hi ng ; b ut severa l o f t h em during th e t r i a l h a d protested against the truth of the evidence given by the witnesses for the prosecution, affirming that they b e i ng L i berals wished to crush them (the prisoners) bc cause t h ey were Carlists. When the President had summed up, and put the question to the jury upon which they had to decide, M. Lafabreque, one of the counsel for the prisoners, applied to the Court to add to them the three following :—" Was the rebbary imputed to the prisoners committed in Spain ? Did the arrests and sequestrations (secret confinements) take place in Spain ? Was the murder committed in Spain?" The Procureur-General argued against these ques tions, and the Court decided that they could not be put. The jury retired about three in the afternoon, and, after five hours' deliberation, returned into Court and declared their verdict, upon which the Court withdrew to consider its judgment. During the half-hour the Court was out, the prisoners were most scandalous in their conduct! All the prisoners shouted, "Long live Don Carlos !' F;bregas, " May God give him health and strength to return to Spain." Sagas, addressing with a smile the President, who remained on the bench, said, "I give many thanks, Sir." If these are the new laws you talk so much about, I compliment you upon them. You may call it the balance of justice, but I call it the balance of hell." Then turning to his fellow-prisoners and laugh ing he said, " Come, we have 40 days more which are necessary for them at Paris to muddle over onr papers, and then it will be all at an end at the same time drawing his hand over the neck of Icazes. Three of them were rolling cigars, and were taking flints, steel, and tinder from their pockets, with the intent of lighting them, but were prevented by the gensd'armes. Sagals called one of the jury by his name, and promised him that if he or any of his family came to Spain, they might rely on being well received. This scene was put a stop to by the Court returning, and delivering the sentences. One having been declared not guilty, was ordered to be discharged. Titjade was condemned to imprisoment for three years, and another for five years ; one to eight years, and another to t en y ears ' c l ose confinement, and the pillory ; one to ten years, and one to twenty years' hard labour at the hulks, with the pillory ; six to hard labour at the hulks for life, on account of the jury hav ing found that there were extenuating circumstances in their favour ; and four, among whom were Simon, :Aa gals, and Icazes, toldeath. The Court ordered that Si mon and Sagals sho'uld be executed at Ceret, and the other two at Perpignan. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTEL- LIGENC E. PORTSMOUTH, TuasnAr.--The Terrible steam -frigate, 20 guns, Captain Ramsay, arrived at Spithead this morning from the Thames. She saluted the Commander-in-Chiefs flag with 17 guns, which circumstance alone stamped her as something above the common order of steam-vessels; even the Retribution (her alleged sister ship), although having 10 guns on board, not having performed a similar cerehsonv, whether from incapacity or not remains to be seen; but the fact of her not having done so looks suspicious. The Terrible is certainly the most complete-looking man-of-war steamer we ever remember to have seen, with the exception of the funnels—these spoil the " ship-shape" effect of.the other warlike features of the noble vessel. Being ship-rigged gives her another vast advantage in appearance over every other steamer now at Spithead. The lletribution looks meagre in comparison, although nearly the same sized hull as her rival, but 200 tons lighter in build. The only feature in which the Retribution appears to possess the advantage over her rival is in having only one funnel, the Terrible's four giving her more the appearance of a floating bridge than a floating battery. But the Retribution, notwithstanding her deflcieney of tonnage, stows properly upwards of 100 tons more of coals than the Terrible. With regard to effi ciency as men-of-war, we shall have a fair opportunity of judging in the forthcoming trials; until that, we defer our opinion upon the merits of the respective vessels. But there is one feature connected with the efficiency of these huge steamers, we cannot permit to pass unnoticed, as it may be the means, under Supreme guidance, of savin g th e lives of hundreds of men—need we say, we allude to the absence of the paddle-box boats? With the melancholy experience of the past years before our eyes of the fate of large steamers, we look upon these monstrous floating furnaces as little bet ter than coffins, if perniitted to put to sea without such in dispensable auxiliaries to the salvation of life as Captain Smith's invaluable invention. • The Eurydice, 26, Captain Elliott, was inspected yester day by Captain Corry, of the Superb, for the Commander in- Chief, and was towed into harbour to-day, but whether to be paid off or refitted to join the experimental squadion (being one of Admiral Elhott's construction), is not yet ordered. _ _ The Wanderer, 12, Commander Somerville, only wants her guns to be ready for sea. The Electra, 18, Commander Maitland, will not proceed to the coast of Africa, the Admiralty having yesterday altered her destination to the Pacific, to join the squadron under Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour, Commander-in-Chief. The Crocodile, 26 Captain Maxwell, took a quantity of nrovisions for the squadron on the Irish station, from the Clarence yard, and sailed this day for Cork, calling at Plymouth. he Phoenix steam-sloop, Commander Dennis, went out to Spithead this afternoon: The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin, went out of harbour to join the squadron at Spithead this after noon, with a distinguished party of officers and ladies, friends of Sir Charles Ogle, on board. The Athol troop-ship, Commander Pearn, sailed this after noon for Woolwich with the Royal Artillery companies she brought home. ROYA I.

Lieutenant Williams will be the officer for this important duty, a gentleman who, by his zeal and activity since he has been in the corps has evinced talents of no ordinary kind for his arduous profession, and who is looked upon as likely to arrive at the highest dignities of the service. The 4.3 d Regiment, which arrived from Halifax in the Blenheim transport on Sunday, marched yesterday to Fort Moncton, according to orders from the Horse Guards; but to-day they received counter orders, and are to proceed on Thursday by sailing for Dover.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, APRIL 7.—Since Friday last there bas been a slightly improved feeling in our market, espe cially as regards yarn, in which a considerable busi ness a lias been done, though without any sensible im provement in prices. For some descriptions of goods, too, especially good shirtings suitable for the eastern mar kets, there has been a more active inquiry, and a fair amount of business has been done at the lowest rates previously current. For nearly all other kinds of cloth, however, the demand is very limited ; and we regret to learn that a large proportion of the handigom weavers in the hundred of Blackburn are out of employment, and that additional looms are stopping daily. ROCHDALE, APRIL 6.—The market was but thinly at tended, though it is fortnight Monday.

(Provisionally Registered.) The Board of Directors having seen an Advertisement in the " Times" of this day, stating that a meeting of the Shareholders will be held on the 9th instant, " to consider whether their interests will not be lest promoted by the Company being forthwith dissolved," think it necessary to inform the Shareholders that, after mature consideration, they feel satisfied that they are best consulting the in terests of the Company, and also keeping faith with the public, by prosecuting their exertions in Parliament for a Bill to construct this undertaking (as one of great importance) until Parliament, under their present or their contemplated measures, shall have decided on the competing lines ; therefore, to hold a previous general meeting of Shareholders will not only be prejudicial, but useless, inasmuch as the position of the Company's funds and the Directors' liability for not carrying out the trusts and objects of the settlement (against which there can be no indemnity but by Act of Parliament or deed under seal), would preclude the Directors from adopting or being influenced by any resolution proceeding from a majority of the Share holders, however desirous the Directors may be to meet their wishes. After this notice, the Directors can only rely upon the judgment and discretion of the Proprietary as a safeguard against countenancing the proceedings of disappointed speculators, or holding any meeting adverse to the Directors.

THE HAGUE, APRIL 6.—ln the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General on Saturday, the 4th of April, the project of law, letter A, relative to the sup pression of the fund for agriculture, was rejected by a majority of 45 to 13. After long debates, and a detailed defence by his Excellency the Minister of the Interior, the Minister then declared that he was authorised by the King, to withdraw the other projects of law, connected with that which had been just discussed. His Excel lency then presented a note, which had become necessary in the projects of law relative to the suppression of the fund for the national manufactures, which is to be dis cussed in the sitting to-day (Monday). In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General to-day, the project of law for suppressing the fund for national ma nufactures, was adopted by a majority of 51 to 3. The Chamber afterwards opened the debate, upon the project of law for continuing the road from the Bosch to Culemborg, which debate will be continued this evening. In the same sitting, the general report on the project of law relative to pensions was brought up. THE HAGUE, APRIL 4 —A year ago the Government applied to the States General to be authorised to di minish for a time, or completely to suppress the transit duty ; the fixed, and navigation duty levied on the Rhine by virtue of the convention of Mayence, of the 31st of March, 1831. It was assigned, as a ground for this application, that some States on the banks of the Rhino had declared their readines likewise to abolish those duties. France, Bavaria, and Baden, were the first to set an example, from which it was permitted to believe that all these States would perse vere in their liberal sentiments, but it was not so. Ba varia and Baden did not perform the promises they had given, respecting the exception from navigation duty. Accordingly, the decrees of the 19th of March and 12th of April, which granted in favour of those states the suppression of the fixed duty, and a diminution of the navigation duty, have not been carried into execution. The French Government have given notice that it has completely suppressed all navigation duties on the Rhine, as far as Dutch ships are concerned, and that it expects to be treated with entire reciprocity by the Government of the Netherlands. For this end the Government has presented to the States General the following project of law : We, William IL, &c., and considering that the French Government no longer levies anv navigation duty upon goods conveyed up the Rhine by - Dutch chips, and that no transit duty is levied in France—with the ad vice of the Council of State, and the sanction of the States General, have decreed and decree as follows : Art. I. Goods conveyed directly to the Rhine from the Dutch ports, in French or Dutch vessels, or those coming from French ports to be imported into the Netherlands directly, by the Rhine, in French or Dutch vessels, shall be exempt from the navigation duties in the Dutch rivers, as well as from fixed duty, which is levied in the Netherlands according to list A, and its exceptions 11. and 111., annexed to the Convention of Mayence of the 31st March, relative to the navigation of the Rhine, modified by the subsequent Convention between the States on the banks of the Rhine, dated the 15th of September, 1845, ,taking such measures as we shall judge desirable to prevent abuses. Art. 11. The exemption granted by the present law shall remain in force, so long as the French Government shall grant Dutch ships the exemption from duties above mentioned. Art. 111. The present law shall be in force on the third day aft er it s p romu l ga tio n in the official journal. We learn that the magistrates of the city of Am sterdam, having been consulted on the plan for forming a harbour for steam-boats and fishing smacks at Scheveningen, after consulting the Chamber of Com merce and Manufacture, have not only expressed them selves in the most favourable manner, but likewise stated in the strongest terms their opinion of the advantage which would be derived from the speedy execution of this plan.

As the " Memoirs" embraced a period of about 15 yearg, in which were traced the causes which led to the " decline and fall" of her Ladyship's somewhat visionary empire in the East, the travels will take up her history from the time she quitted England, and by a faithful narrative of her extraordinary advantures, show the rise and growth of her oriental greatness. A distinct line may at once be drawn between this and all other books of travels in the East—for it boasts of a heroine who marches at the head of Arab tribes through the Syrian Desert—who calls Governors of cities to her aid, while she excavates the earth in search of hidden treasures—who sends G enerals with their troops to carry fire and sword into the fearful passes of a mountainous country tp avenge the death of a murdered traveller, and who then goes liekncf4esa and unprotected to sit down a sojourner in the alp* •• • • SIR HENRY HARDINGE, G.C.B. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir—The late brilliant achievements in India having caused, in the public mind, an extraordinary interest in whatever relates to the gallant Governor-General of the British possessions in that portion of the globe, I beg to hand you, for the gratification of your readers, the ac companying memoir of the military services of Sir . H. llardinge in th e l a t e F renc h wa r, written by his friend and companion in arms, the late Lieutenant-General Sir Benjamin D'Urban, from whom I received it at the time of the general election in the year 1820. Sir Henry Hardinge, I may observe, was elected, at the time of which I have spoken, one of the Members for Durham, which city he continued to represent, with some little interruption, arising from his acceptance of office as Clerk of the Ordnance and Secretary-at - War , until the dissolution of Parliament consequent on the death of George IV., in 1830, a period of upwards of ten years, during the whole of which he enjoyed the respect and esteem of the inhabitants, while he was almost idolised by that portion of the freemen who supported him with their suffrages. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, FRANCIS HUMBLE. Advertiser Office, Durham, April 4. Sir Henry Hardinge (the near relative and intimat friend of the gallant Lord Stewart°) is the second hero whom the present generation of his house have devoted to the service of their country. His brother, Cap tain Hardinge, of the royal navy, after a brilliant pro fessional career, in which deeds of skilful intrepidity won his successive promotions, at length commanded the San Fioreezo in the Indian Seas, and fell in the mo ment of victory, at the close of a three days' action (re newed by him each day) with La Piedmontaise, an enemy's ship of far superior force, which was then cap tured. He died in his 27th year, but full of glory; and by a vote of Parliament, a monument in St. Paul's Cathedral records his achievements, and the approbation of his country. Sir Henry Hardinge entered the army young, and joined his regiment in Canada before he had attained the age of 15. He returned to England at the Peace of Amiens, obtained the rank of captain in the 57th regi ment in 1804, and having become a student at the Royal Military College, under the late General Parry, pro secuted his studies there with all possible diligence and success ; and having accordingly made great proficiency in the more scientific branches of his profession, was selected to fill an appointment upon the Quartermaster-General's staff of the expedition which proceeded to the coast of Spain in 1807, under Sir Brent Spencer. In 1808, when Portugal rose to throw off the French yoke, Sir Brent Spencer's corps was united to that which had sailed from Ireland under Sir Arthur Wellesley (now Duke of Wellington), and Sir Henry Hardinge was actively employed in the successful cam paign which expelled the army of General Junot, and was present in the battles of Roleia and Vimeira; in the latter of these he was severely wounded. Notwith standing which, in the close of the same year, having been pitched upon to carry important dispatches from Government to General Sir John Moore, ho performed the journey with singular rapidity, through many diffi culties, and delivered his charge to the general iu the neighbourhood of Beaevente. Sir John Moore, it is well known, remained himself with the rear guard of his army through the whole of his arduous retreat to Corunna which ensued ; and having attached Sir Henry llardinge to his person, he accompanied him in all those severe affairs which every day took place with the enemy's advanced guards ; and, finally, was the only officer near that great and lamented general, when, at the battle of Corunna, in January, 1809, he received his death wound, and fell in the arms of victory. Sir Henry had just returned from ordering a move ment of the troops which the general had dispatched him to effect, and was in the act of reporting its execu tion to him, when he was struck by the fatal ball. He supported the dying hero at this trying moment ; and by the desire of his-afflicted family wrote, for their in formation, the clear and pathetic account of that solemn and impressive scene, which is annexed to Mr. Moore's narrative of the general's last campaign and death Returning to England with the army, he received the rank of major ; and in the month of March, in the same year, went to Portugal with Marshal Beresford, who had been intrusted with the organisation of the Portuguese army, to aid in the momentous struggle then about to ensue, and from which may be dated the delivery of Europe from the despotism of Bonaparte. The Marshal appointed him lieutenant-colonel in, and deputy quartermaster-general of, the army; and he im mediately became, and was through the whole war, one of the main instruments of the discipline and good order which was so effectually established in it, and of the brilliant and continued triumphs with which that dis cipline was crowned. In this capacity he served with the right of the allied army under the Marshal at the passage of the Upper Douro, in face of and driving back the corps of General Loison, and in the subsequent operations against the enemy during the pursuit of him into the borders of Ga licia. For his conduct upon this occasion he was men tioned in the Marshal's dispatches, and thanked in his general orders issued at Ginze, 20th May, 1809. He then accompanied the Marshal in h;s command of the army of observation in Castile, during the Duke of Wellington's advance into Spain, and the battle of Talavera, and was employed in many important duties of that period. The next campaign was the famous defensive one of 1810, in which the Duke of .Wellington foiled the in finitely superior forces of Marshal Massena. In this, the zeal, intelligence, and activity of Sir Henry Hardinge were very conspicuous upon many, occasions, as well in the arrangements belonging to his official duties, as in the various affairs of the advanced posts, and other operations before and after the retreat to the lines of Lisbon; and especially in the battle of Busaco, after which victory he was mentioned by Lord Beresford in his dispatches to the Portuguese regency, and recom mended by the Duke of Wellington for the medal of distinction granted upon that occasion, which he received accordingly. In the campaign of 1811, Lord Beresford having the command of the separate corps of the allied army in the Alemtejo and Spanish Estramadura, Sir Henry Hardinge was everywhere distinguished, as well in the many affairs which the active operations of that period produced, as in the siege of Badajoz, which formed a part of them, and at which he served ; but especially for his conduct in the memorable and glorious battle of Albuera, where, amongst many o th er instances of judgment and presence of mind, he a n ti c ipated an order (which had been dispatched by Lord Beresford, but had not yet reached the general to whom it was sent) for an import ant movement at a very pressing period of the battle. He was mentioned in high terms of praise, both in the dispatches and general orders ; and after the battle re ceived the medal of distinction granted upon this occa sion, and was promoted to the British rank of Lieut.. Colonel. The eventful campaign of 1812 commenced with the siege and capture of the fortresses of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz. Sir Henry Hardinge served at them both, and at the latter was particularly distinguished in the storm of the strong out-work La Picarina, where, it is not too much to say, the success of that important enterprise was mainly owing to his judgment and in trepid example. He was mentioned in very strong terms in the report of General Sir James Kempt, who commanded the as sault of the fort, and by the Duke of Wellington in his dispatches, and he received the medal of distinction granted on that occasion. After the capture of Badajoz, the army , advanced into Castile, besieged and destroyed the enemy s fortified establishments upon the Tonnes, and thence proceeded to those operations against Marshal Marinont, which brought on the memorable battle of Salamanca, and all its important results.

He was then engaged in the battle of Orthes, on the 27th of February, for which he received the medal of distinction (being the ninth conferred upon him in the course of this war), and in the subsequent affairs and operations, concluding with the battle of Toulouse, o❑ the 10th of April, which was followed by the armistice and peace of 1814. He was again pointedly thanked for his eminent services in Lord Beresford's general orders, at the close of this campaign. During the whole Peninsular war Sir H. Hardinge never suffered himself to be absent from his duty by sickness, leave of absence, or any other cause, except ing the very short periods (in neither case sufficient for that purpose) which he was compelled to devote to the cure of his wounds received at Vimeiro and Vittoria. After this campaign his Sovereign was graciously pleased to mark his sense of the signal services he had performed, by conferring upon him a company in the Grenadier Regiment of Guards, and creating him a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. In this year Sir Henry Hardinge accompanied his Noble Friend, Lord Stewart, to the Congress of Vi enna ; and in 1815, when Bonaparte returned from Elba, and the war broke out anew, the Duke of Wel lington immediately placed him at the head-quarters of the Prussian army, under Marshal Blucher, with the rank of brigadier-general, as a military ambassador and a confidential officer. _ _ This was an employment requiring not only firmness and military talent, but great discretion, judgment, and conciliation. His Grace had very rightly estimated his officer, when he thought him fit for this important mission, and the result fully justified his choice. Continuing with the Prussian army, he was in the obstinate and sanguinary battle of Ligny, on the 16th June, (which was followed by that of Waterloo on the 18th', and after having given proofs of great military talent throughout the day, in the suggestion of several movements which tended much to retard the success of the enemy, his left band was shattered by a cannon ball at Marshal Blucher's side, whose unaffected grief for the misfortune was the best proof of the high opinion in which he held this gallant Englishman. Sir Henry tied his handkerchief round the stump, and remained on horseback till the bat le was over. His conduct upon this occasion had been so meritorious, and Marshal Blucher's report of the great service he had in dividually rendered so satisfactory, that the Puke of Wellington devoted a separate Gazette (of the 30th of June, 1815), to record his approbation of his behaviour, and his regard for his wound. He suffered this wound to detain him from his duty as little as he had done his previous one, although it occasioned the amputation of his hand, and from some attendant circumstances become one of peculiar torture and distress, for in one month from the time he received it, he rejoined Marshal Blucher, at Paris. He continued his duties at the Prusian head-quarters during the whole time of the occu pation of France by the Allies, and the two following facts will suffice to show how high his conduct had placed him in the opinion both of the Monarch, at the head-quarters of whose army he had been serving at such a difficult and delicate crisis, and of that consum mate captain who commanded the allied armies. At the Prussian review he was decorated by the King himsel with the orders of Merit and of the Red Eagle, and the Duke of Wellington personally presented him with the sword which he wore, as a mark of his regard. The long and brilliant series of services, hastily re corded in the foregoing memoir, will speak for them selves, and can require no comment. B. D'URBAN, Major-General. Hythe, Feb. 9, 1820.

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL. Another band of the Spanish brigands, called Tea boucayers, chiefly, if not entirely, composed of men who served in the army of Don Carlos, and took refuge in France on the final discomfiture of that Prince, were brought, on the 19th ultimo, before the Court of Assizes for the Pyre':Ls Orienteles, upon an indictment, of which we shall give an epitome. The number included in it is 22, of whom 17 (in custody) were arraigned at the bar ; the five others, including a woman named Ca therine Gatel, or Lacoste, having evaded capture. The prosecution was conducted by M. Renard, Procureur- General of the Cour Royale of Montpellier, assisted by o A ni .Aragon,defendede b ruabr yy the f2o7u rPlBr counsel.o4crae tea e a d T u ch ' n ee o oi i en . dc c T i tu h m e t prisoners ehnet e statedv evening, nin were V h teahr that, t ttta d hhht i e l eeya i m g epscsnelpoalca.reveeceeahgs spread Tl n anl i g eocdt ' l f lhe r oneL o at m kol yg rso G oonupu i r r ena o tnid n ie.ed a d e, t o Barcelona, was stopped Ato o \ ,thr f ted L i teri ordered, whateveree Tdp sameoe rrodsnoel money, ip e osian ieenayt T l: o h ej fee diligence hlne t i egsl r ystae,acnnae ground,Tl aahnedr robbers a3 l Pella, e nr n tds h e near commanded ope the tnans ms aNgn' lighted d a te e g er dd C s oelada e t shtr completely intvopd cut, al,laeultaiegb t l yihlotps treatingtudahnnoedod) plundered. r s hetl ahad o yde. f torches and searched the passengers, taking from e st n c e o i d N u % w . women in the most indecent manner. Thisdone, every one, with the most horrible threats, to cast upon i about them, and which might have escaped discovery. This, however, was but a prelude to future outrages. Three of the passengers, M. Balbier, M. Roger, of Figuieras, and M. Massot, Darams, whose passports indicated them to be of great consideration, were seized and bound to be carried off for the sake of their ransom. The mother of M. Massot, who was travelling with him, cast herself at the ted of the bandits, and entreated them for mercy to her son. But they repelled her coarsely, saying that if she did not cease to annoy them with her cries she should see her son stabbed to death before her eyes. The sound of a shrill whistle was then heard, upon which the brigands gathered up their booty, cut the straps of the pantaloons of their three cap . tives, in order that they might be able to move more freely, and led them away across the nymntains, recom mending those left not to report what had oc curred to them, or they would repent it. On May 3, M. Massot wrote a letter to his mother, desiring her to send him 800 quadruples (rather more than 60,000 francs) for his ransom, saying, " I am worn out by misery. The cold distresses me, and these men tor ment me. A fever is killing me, and yet lam obliged to march day and night, with pain and grief, through the snow. All I know is that I am traversing moun tains. Embrace my brothers in the name of God, and beg them not to fall into despair from my death, for I am already resigned to it." Balbier, who was of an advanced age, could not long resist his great sufferings, and in a very few days, finding himself sinking and unable to write, dictated his last will to Roger, which, when finished, the brigands took into their hands, judging they might derive some advantage from its possession. The unhappy man was left alone in his agonies on the snow, and, with a refinement of bar barity, the savages took from his shoulders the cloak he needed only for a few moments more. Three days after that the Spanish armed force came up with the band, and an engagement ensued in which t wo of the soldiers were killd, and several of the brigands c h e e i y e d a t a t a l e e k tter On by the re t d w i o l iugnedneede., Mademoiselle days m as f s t o e t r , G i rona mail, signed with the name of Jacques Toquabus, telling her that if she did not send the 800 quadruples to a place indicated, she should receive her son's ears ; and if that did not reduce her to compliance, they would send her his eyes; and if those did not succeed, she would, at last, have his mutilated head, at the same time increasing their demand. On the 25th of March, the brigands and their two prisoners, when in a house called Perrasole de herrasole, near Tazadell, were at tacked by some armed police, and a conflict ensued, in which two of the gendarmes were killed, and M. Roger, received a ball in the back of the neck, which laid him dead instantaneously. The band then divided into two parties—five of them going to a place called Manors, and eight with M. Massot, their sole remaining captive, n search of the grotto of Passaguada, where they might conceal and secure him. After wandering for several days, lost in fogs, they reached and crossed the Mouga, a river which divides the two kingdoms, and finding the cave, were supplied two days with food by two peasants of the country, who where included in the in dictment as accomplices. Hence four of the eight bandits went to Las Salines to receive the one thousand quad ruples demanded of Madame Massot, for the release of her son, taking up their abode at the inn of one of their associates, Barot del Battle, but one of the four, named Pijade, taking some offence, deserted the rest, returned to his master, and became the principal means of dis covering and arresting the whole band of these brutal murderers. In consequence of the measures taken by his information, all the brigands named in the indict , ment were pursued, found, and arrested. In the end, on reaching the cave or grotto of Passaguada, was dis covered the lifeless body of M. Massot, with the ears cut off, the throat divided, and eleven poignard wounds in the region of the heart. In the loft of a farm called I)el Aloy, was afterwards found, wrapt in paper, a pair of human ears, with some of the hair of the head still sticking to them by the clotted blood. These were after wards proved to be the ears of the unfortunate Massot, which the eight brigands, who had excised, them carelessly left there, little thinking how clear a proof it would be of their having been the perpetrators of this act of cruelty. As an evidence of their insensibility to all feeling of pity, when the cars were exhibited to them on their being examined before the magistrate they pretended not to know what they wete, calling them, with the most audacious levity, dried mushrooms. It is also stated that after the death of their two captives, M. Balbier and M. Roger ' the bandits sent letters to their families, stipulating for large sums for their ransom, which was to be sent - to certain spots indicated, but which, if they had been paid, would have been in pure loss, for those sought to be redeemed were no longer in existence. The above are the material facts disclosed by the accomplice Pujade, and which were confirmed by the evidence that was produced. In support of the prosecution, no fewer than 114 witnesses were sum moned, all of whom attended the trial except two or three. They consisted of the other passengers in the diligence with the three unfortunate victims, the con ducteur of the diligence, farmers, and other persons in Spain and France who had been forced by the brigands to afford them shelter and concealment, the Esconados, or armed police of Spain, with whom they had the encounter, and the gendarmes in France engaged in their capture. Their united evi dence, which ran to the length of eight days, is too voluminous for us to give even any general epitome of it, nor would it be of any great interest, inasmuch as it only exhibited in minute detail the circumstances upon which the indictment was founded, and which recapitu lates all the most prominent, all the essential facts and circumstances. Pujade, the associate of the gang, ad mitted to give evidence, was a Spanish refugee Carlist, who for two years was in the domestic service of M. Pons, a man of independent property, living at Passe, (Pyrones Orientales), but in February, 1845, was se duced away by three men, one of whom M. Pons recog nised among the prisoners, under the pretence of going to see their relations in Spain. He went on leave of ab sence for a fortnight, but did not return till towards the end of April, when M. Pons declined taking him back. Another of the prisoners had also been in service with another family in France, but loft it under the same pretext. In the course of the evidence it appeared that the main object of the band in attacking the diligence was a knowledge they had obtained by some means that there was a considerable sum of money to be conveyed by it. This they searched for, and not finding it, and beidg unable to learn from the conductor or from any of the passengers where it was encealed, they became the more violent and brutal. Ix fact, as stated by the conductor, this money was, on the coach being stopped, thrown by him at the bottom of the coupe, where they never thought of looking for it, and where it remained saf e un til after they were gone. The most interesting, but at the same time, the most painful part of the proceedings, was the examination of the bereaved mother, Madame Massot. When called the first time to appear in court, she was too ill to come forward, and the President postponed her interrogation till the following day, contenting himself with reading her previous depositions, which gave a most interesting but afflicting statement of the manner in which, in spite of all her entreaties, prayers, and promises, her son was torn from her arms by main force, when all threats of wrong and insulting violence to herself were insufficient to induce her to relinquish her grasp upon her child. On the following day she ap peared in court, clothed in deep mourning, and so over whelmed in grief that she could scarcely be led to the place from which she was to give her testimony. The President addressed her in the kindest tones, remind ing her that, however cruel the task, it was her duty if possible to rouse herself and enlighten justice. He then desired her to look at the prisoners, and say if she re cognised ans of them. With terror in her countenance she turned her eyes towards them, and, pointing to one of them named Jean Simon, exclaimed in tones of agony —" Oh ! that is he who tore my son away from me, and with him tore away my own life. He it was who rejected all my prayers. Yes ! yes ! Indeed it was he who forced him from my arms. Murderer ! mur,l-rer 1" Simon, who on the first entrance of Madame Massot had hung down his head, and had ever since re mained immovable, now resumed all his aujacity, and addressed the most grossly iniulting apostrophes to he i r d s The President spoke to him -in strong terms,t. s, w ai a ordered the two gens'darmes between whom an placed to compel him to sit down in utt° silent.

The Austrian Observer publishes the following official document : The moment is arrived 'when it becomes possible to take an impartial view of the late events in Galicia, and in the Grand Duchy of Posen, and to examine their cause. We shall complete this task in a point of view purely historical, and we shall confine oar obser vations within as small a space as possible. When the revolution of Poland, which was attempted in the years 1830 and 1831 failed, a number of Polish emigrants es tablished themselves in .erance, in England, and in Bel gium, who used all the means in their power to disturb the country which they had quitted either voluntarily or by necessity. The emigrants divided into two factions, who were in accord as to an attack, and postponed until a successful result should be accomplished the triumph of their particular opinions. Thus each party pursued a double direction—first, that which was com mon to both, the overthrow of the existing Government; and next, their particular tendency, which may be termed aristocratic, democratic, or communist, according as we are enabled to indicate the course of their efforts. The late attack, however, may be regarded as the work of the democratic faction. It was supported by parties in a higher and in a lower rank—the aristocratic party, which above all desires the overthrow of the Govern ment, and the communists, who thought they might gain their own ends. In order to prepare the explosion they calumniated all the Government officers ; they sent emissaries through the country to excite the popula tion to revolt; they distributed 100,000 revolutionary pamphlets, under the form of democratic catechisms, dis sertations, appeals to revolt, and instructions as to the mode of carrying on a guerilla war. Everywhere the assembled parties placed in the first rank of their pa triotic actions the massacre of all who were not Poles, recommending that they should be exterminated by the sword and dagger, and, if necessary, by poison, as has been incontestably proved by the instructions given by the leaders of the insurrection. A council was held at the latter end of the month of November last. at which figured the self-styled deputies of the five districts repre • senting the ancient kingdom of Poland,for the purpose of facilitating their operations. These districts were the Grand Duchy of Posen, Galicia, the kingdom of Poland, Lithuania, and the territory of the free city of Cracow. In their military plan they had placed in the first line of their operations the capture of the fortresses of Posen and of Thorn, if it were possible, and of a third fortress, situate in Old Prussia. The revolt was in tended to commence simultaneously through the entire extent of the territories of Posen, of Cracow, and - - through western Galicia. According to the antici pations of the conspirators, an insurrection through the rest of Poland would be ie inevitable consequence of the first movement. The explosion of the insurrection was fixed to take place between the 17th and the 21st of February, and the instructions given to the leaders in the different districts were to that effect. The success of the first part of the enterprise was to have been fol lowed by an attack on the kingdom of Poland. A certain lucky chance, of which the Prussian Government took advantage, caused the attack to fail on the for tresses which were to have served as the base of their future operations, and the insurrection in the Grand Duchy of Posen was consequently suppressed. The instructions of the Central Committee prescribed, in case the enterprise should fail in the Grand Duchy of Posen, the explosion should, nevertheless, be attempted in the territory of Cracow and in Galicia. The Senate of Cracow, and the residents of the three protecting powers, were apprised that a revolt in the territory of the republic of Cracow was on the point of commencing. The explosion was fixed for the 18th of February, and the conspirators were at their posts. The unexpected appearance in Cracow of the small garrison of Podgorze defeated the intentions of the conspirators for that day, and deranged the calculations made of a responding movement in Galicia. The events which occurred in Tarnow on the 18th and 19th of February demonstrated with what scrupulous accuracy the conspirators in that circle executed the orders received by them, and how they accepted as true the false accounts propagated of a successful rising in Posen, and that the grand duchy was . tip in arms. The facts relating to Tarnow have been published, and are sufficiently known. The attempts made by the conspirators to raise the people of the coun try failed in consequence of the fidelity of the popula tion, and not in consequence of a reward said to have been promised for every insurgent surren dered, living or dead—a falsehood as perfidious as ab surd, and invented by the insurgents to disguise the truth, that the attempts of seduction, in a democratic and communist sense, had failed even amongst the pea sants. Conspirators and assassins are hired with money but it is not by such means that a Gevernment can pur chase an entire population ; it is by advantages confer red, and by fulfilling its duty with fidelity. When the account was received of the failure of the attempt at Tarnow (upon which the Polish refugees depended most) and the neighbouring districts, fresh attempts at insurrec tion were made, but they failed in consequence of the op positionoffered by the peasants. Those attempts,however, did not produce the sanguinary results which followed at Tarnow, where the violence attempted by the conspi rators against the peasants was the cause of what ensued. In the latter circle the people used no violence, .until the conspirators had shot some peasants who re fused to follow them. In the other districts the insur• gents were more moderate, and the population was content with capturing f hem and surrendering them to the authorities in the chief towns of the district. Some insurgents, who endeavoured to propagate the move ment in the district of Sandecz by forming isolated bands, by organising a system of plunder, and by exciting the peasants against their masters, were quickly subdued by some detachments of troops, aided by the men whom the insurgents endea voured to seduce. The peasants whose masters were opposed to the insurrection have been seen, of their own accord, to defend the approach to their castles, and to repulse the insurgents on their arrival. The attack upon Cracow, which was intended to form an important part, as an example of what might be done, became but simple episode in this criminal drama, in consequence of the occupation of that city. With respect to the imperial troop, if we etc pt the night of the 21st of February, in which they were obliged to sup port the attack of the conspirators in the city of Cracow, and subsequently the attack of Podgorze and the affair of Wieckzka, they had no opportunity to prove their bravery and their fidelity, except by their perse verance in supporting forced marches in the worst wea ther, by severe discipline, and by privations of every description. The troops had not occasion to fire a single shot against the insurgents in Galicia. What re mains of this criminal enterprise? On the one hand, the social condition of The country Is disturbed, a con siderable mass of private fortunes compromised, a great TO FOREIGNERS VISITING ENGLAND.
