[EXTRACT of A LETTER.] In expectation or witnessine the Grand Review of the Cavalry at Hounslow Heath by the PraNce REGENT, an immense assemblage of persons of every rank and description took place on Satur day. Indisposition was assigned as the cau'e of his Royal Highness's absence, and the review was in consequence postponed. There were, notwith standing, a considerable muster of troops (the Lance Brigade), who went through the usual evolutions with much promptitude and skill ; it' was called a field-day. After the inspection the Officers of the 19th gave a magnificent Fete Chain petre to a thousand persons on the Barrack-green. A superb marquee, called the Regent's 'lent, (which was brought from the Tower expressly for the purpose), was fitted up in the most fanciful style possible, and was named the Temple of Flora, from the vast pt :. ofusion .ot natural and •artificisl flowers with which it was adorned. In this fra grant bower covers were laid for 70 distinguished personages on one table. Another (toupee called the Long Tent, being 70 yards in length, was supported by 15 beautiful columns, decorated with flowers; covers therein were laid for 530 at one time ; and the relays accommodated 400 more, making altogether the 1000 before specified. The collation consisted of hot and cold roasts and soup, shell-fish of all sorts,• all kinds of fruits, such as melons, grapes, plums, peaches, necta rines, cherries, and strawberries. Choice wines of the first vintages, in Champagne, Hock, Bu- Mks, Claret, Coostantia, Barsac, Paccaratti, and Madeira. lees (15 sorts) were introduced, as a general remove, alter the hot roasts. The com pany sat down to table at half-past two o'clock. About five dancing; commenced on • the lawn, to the music of the admirable bands belonging to the 9th, 12t1i, and 19th, the Lance brigade.—lt was a magnificent spectacle, alone, to see upwards of 200 splendid equipages in waiting on the heath, all sporting full sets of horses (six each) with out riders and postillions . in full liveries. The fête was superintended by the Hon. Colonel \VvxD• HAM, eldest son of the Earl of EGREMONT, who invited all the neighbouring Gentry ; mostly all time Nobility came from town, and all were highly gratified.— . The banquet was conducted by Messrs. FULLER and CAMP, from Londoo.. We. had a 'most delightful day, not too hot, No accident of .any description occurred, to disturb, the universal harmony which prevailed. The liberality of the patrons of the feast extended even to the bands and the non-commissioned officers, who partook of the repast at a later hour ; and about seventy of the select friends of the Officers kept up the metry dance until a late hour in the evening. They danced on a temporary platform, in the Temple of Flora, till midnight, it being illuminated by wax lights and branches. ibt ii c:i Cr/ JA te' AN rgs, ; A' ;1; 71 of, GENERAL DEVEREUX'S EXPEDITION. The Laforey transport, having part of General Devereux's Legion on board, put into \Vatertord on Sonday se'onight, in consequence of a muti nous disposition which manifested i(if on board. In the following account of this event.:N discon tent is attributed to the want of proviWin .; but this p a rt of the statement is co n t ra di cte d by. the Dublin Papers, in which it is• asstrted that the Laforey has, by the express order of General De vereux, nearly double the quantity allowed in the British transport service, for the same number of men for a voyage of three months, thou4ll the voyage to the Laforey's place of destination is usually performed in less than six weeks. Some of these men evinced a turbulent spirit at Liver pool, and were about to be dismissed the service, but on a solemn promise of future good conduct they were taken on board:— " WATERFORD, JULY 13.—The ship Laforey, having on board a division of Colonel Mead's Re giment, attached to General Devereux's Legion, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Young, which sailed from Liverpool about five days ago, put into this harbour on Sunday evening, in con sequence of a mutinous disposition having mani fested itself among the men. About 50 of them, whose appzarauce is truly wretched. have been put on shore, and lett to provide for themselves as f hey can. We have not been able to ascertain to our satisfaction the true cause of this measure ; the Officers anew?, . we underatand,• that they found it necessary to disinctonber themselves of these people, in consequence of some of them be ing dis'eased, and others having evinced such a refractory spirit as was likely to put an end to all subordination among the remainder—while the men, it is sail, concur in declaring, that thete was not an ad. (pate supply of provisions on board, that they were of the worst description, and that, they were served out to them in vet y scanty por tions. ‘Ve are not sufficiently informed on the subject to be able to pronottoce an opinion as to the truth of either statement." .

(From an frisk Paper.)

The author of the sketch of his life, Mr. Cheetham of New-Yoi - k, seems to have obtained his intelligence from persons with whom Paine passed a great- part of it ; but I cannot thilik'oi following the author through the whole of his life, which is well known to thousands, in Eng land especially, who to this day remember him a stay-maker, and afterwards a tide-Waiter, I be lieve, at Rochester, and from which pest he was dismissed for ill-behatiour. " It appears that lie was soon tired of the Republic of France, though his former principles continued the same. fle'artived at Baltimore 'on the 13th of October, in company with*a woman named Borneville,'Whom he had seduced, Iron) her husband, and afterwards cruelly beaten. At the first inn he went to, he • was principally visited by the lower class of• emigrants trom Eng land; Scotland, and Ireland, for no tespectable persons encouraged his approach—a reception now generally known to most of the unhappy people Who expect to find all hearts and arms as open as the country, but' to which error that WORTHY, CObbetl, bRi, with Others, opened then' eves. tlere, he drank grog in the tap-room with all, and making free with all, he was daily in toxicated, an habitual drunkenness which seems to have commenced With the French itev°l " 6 ""• Mrs. Dean, with whom he lodged afterwards, says he was deliberately and disgustingly filthy, espe cially in his bed-chamber, and even it) his bed, so as not to be described with riche:Eq.—ln the spring of 1804, he returned to his farm at New Rochelle ; he engaged an old woman, black Betty, who, it seems, was nearly a mitel) for him in drunkenness; they frequently, says our author, would he prostrate on the satire floor, quite drunk, swearing and threatening to fight, bat incapable of approaching each other to combat—nothing but inability prevented a battle: " Tliii have 1 extracted a few circumstances which mark the character of the deluded (qa. de luding) man, at an advanced period of his life.— But his last moments cannot be better described than by quoting a ,pas Sage from a letter writt en by Dr. Manley, who attended Paine during his last illness—about . eleven months previous to his death, with the exception of six weeks imme diately before it, be was drunk and sober twice a day. Ile thus proceeds:— " During the .latter part of his life, though his conversation was equivocal, his conduct wns singular; he would not be left alone night or day. lie not only required to _have some person -with him, but he must see that he Was there, and would not allow his curtain to be closed at any time, and if it would sometimes unavoidably hap pen, he would scream and halloo, until some per sou came to him. When relief front pain would admit, lie seemed thoughtful and contemplative, his eyes being generally closed, and his hands folded on his breast ; althoGgli he never slept without the assistance of an anodyne. " There was something remarkable in his con duct about this period (which comprises two weeks immediately preceding his death), pat Heti lady when we reflect that Paine was the ant hot of the " Age of Reason." Ile would call out during his paroxysms of distress, without inter mission—" Oh !- Lord help me !—God help me ! —Jesus Christ, help me ! !—Oh ! Lord help me !" &e.--repeating the same expression, without the least van tivion, in a tone of voice that would alarm the whole house. It was this conduct which in duced me to think that he had abandoned his tormer opinions 5 Hod I Was more inclined to that belief, when 1 understood from his nurse, who was a very serious, and, 1 believe, a pion's woman, that he would occasionally enquire, when he saw her en gaged with a book, what she was reading, aod being answered " Hohare's Companion to the Altai," and at the sable time asking„ whether she would read aloud, he asseuted, and would appear to give particular attention. I took occasion during the night of the sth or 6th of June, to test the strength of his opinion respettikg Reve lation. 1 purposely made hint a very late visit ; it was a time that seemed to sort exactly w i t h m y er ran d, it WWI ; he was in great distrt,24, cowtowly v.(ti,in,in6 111 the Words above 'mentioned :---When, after a con isiderable preface, 1 adds essed him in the fol lowing manner :—" Mr. Paine, ybur opinions, by a large proportion of the community, have been treated with deference You have never been in the habit of mixing in your conversa tion words of course— Y ou have .never indulged in the habit of profane *swestring-- 7 -Yon must be sensible' that see are -aCqUainted with your religious opitions as they are given to the world ; what must we think of your present condo(' why do yon Call on Jesus Christ to. help you ; do you believe that he can help you ? .

Again, I addiessed him—" Mr. Paine, you have not answered my questions—Will yon answer them.—Allow me to ask you again, do you believe,.or, let me qualify the question, do yon wish to believe that JESUS CHRIST it the Son of God." After a pause of some minutes, he answer ed, " 1 have no wish to believe,on that subject." 1 then left him, and I know not whether he spoke to any person, on any subject, though he lived, As 1 before observed, till the morning of the Sth. " Thus. we find him on his death-bed, calling upon that God, Whose interposition he always de niedupon that Sevionr, whose t existence he never would admit—ever afraid of his ov,n shallow. The awful change, he was conscious must soon take place, opened to his view that which convinced -him of the reality of those things he had under taken with such zeal to refute. The reason for his deciining to..answer the close questions put to him, is apparent : the pride of his heart would not allow him to declare, hilly and honestly, that his forwer opinions were erroneous the ex pressions alone, which escaped from his lips, are sufficient ; they prove more plainly the workings of his heart, than the most solemn declarations he could haVe glade. It may be thought by some a want of charity in me to expose the failings of a .departed man : I should chink so too, were it not to serve a peculiar purpose ; to set at rest the minds of those he has disturbed, and to expel the poison of infidelity from the land. In every point cif view his false character appeals: Its England, all titles were obnoxious to him : he •was for levelling all distinctions. In America, tiefore the French Revolution, we find him assum ing a title in an edition of th e Ri g hts of Man ; be styles himself " Secretary. for Foreign Affairs to th e COngrets of the United Slates," a title he hall no ckiin to, as he was tnr.re;y a copying eietk, which situation lie afterwards foreiten by a scan dalous breach of trust ; proving, that what he ed in others, be, in reality, was fond of himself." * It word , / appear, however, that when &mil:, and retired from the public eye, ivhich hp equally courted-and feared, h* was not unaccotuFlished in this infernal science.--It i, wrii hu o wn, that no man who seeks for pdpularity ei.er sivears—au d to car.,e lie dare not. t Paine's ignorance of hi,tory-eannot be more fully provtil than by dertytog that there ever was such a person as Jesmtt Christ.

They are strangers to any sense of feeling, or any other quality men ought to possess. As to pay, I have not heard of any such thing, neither do we expect to re ceive as much as will pay our expellees to Eng land, should we ever be so fortunate as to have the power of returning. I am told that General Bolivar has said that he would shoot me if ever wrote to him - on the sohject of quitting the conwry.
