CAPTAIN JOHN REYNOLDS of TEE ELEVENTH HUSSARS AND HORSE-GUARDS. rovi rotel LA ST t‘oN th , sot 1 " To Le ( Frt. m the Alligator of Saturtlay : ) Captain J. Reynolds seat in his resignation, and requested permission to sell out. After his papers had been a fortnight or three weeks at the Horse- Guards, a letter was sent by Lord Fitzroy Somer set to Captain Basil Hall, requesting an inter view with that gentleman, as his Lordship was de. sirous of consultio k ,r him previously to accepting his nephew's resignation. Attar a week's dela), an appointment was made for a Saturday. On the day appointed, it was understood Lord Fitzroy Somerset was to remain at tha Horse Guards after four o'clock, for the purpose of an interview with Captain Basil Hall. An a .cident, however, happened to the mad, which pre vented Captain Basil Hall from arriving In town is t anti the interview was postponed until the next day (Sunday) at his 1. _orsa.p's private residenc... Alter matters of lodifferenec had been talked over, his Lordship alluded to the position in which Capt. .1. R nolds was pieced, and inquired if the cause of his sending in his resign:Atoll arose from his intended mar t:l4qt! ; for if it did, although it was an understood rule In sonic regiments, that an officer, on l‘is marriage, should leave the corps, yet is the present ca;:e it might be so :irrati;:ed as not to require Captain J. itcynolds to sell out. Ilis Lordship was then told that that was not the cause of the reidguation ; the clear and distinct was the overbear-hp ! ani rannin a l condu c t of c tre se Earl of Cardigan—that Captain J. Reynolds felt that the vatue ut His coninns,:lon ,as nut secure for even one dty whilst under the Earl's command ; and that the Earl's conduct was overbearing,, and his language abusive. On hearing this, Lord F. Somerset inquirer) if the Earl was in the habit of swearing at the ()Slicers ; and had //it salisfactimi of having it explained to hi m , by Captain B. Hall, that a commanding-officer might be abusive without resorting to oaths. Inc result was, that Lord F. Somerset promised to communicate with the Adjutant• General ; and Captain John Reynolds was forthwith ordered up from Chichester to attend at the Horse Gusres, and thus allow of a personal soli citation on the part of Lord F. Somerset, that h a would withdraw his resignation. Captain John Rey nolds arrived in London, and had an interview with the Adjutant-Ganm al, when the terms agreed to, upon which he consented to withdraw his resignation, were a re cantation of the censure given by General Sleigh on the black bottle affair ; six months' leave of absen c e. (which had been previously refused by the Earl of Gar• digan). two years at the senior departmentt, of the Mili tary College, and a distinct and express und.titstanding that Captain John Reynolds should nevt-er again be re quired to serve for a single day under the Earl of Cardigan.

REPORT OF M. TRIERS ON THE FORTICA TION BILL. The question of the necessity of fortifying Paris is not one of circumstances ; it occupied the attention of Vauban half a century ago, and a quarter of a centur' ago it also entered the mind of Napoleon. It is im possible, therefore, to say it is a question of circurni. stances. Vauban thought of it in the midst of the pros perityof Louis XIV., and Napoleon turned his atten• tion to.; at the moment when his power and that of France seemed to be fully established, after the battle • Austerlitz. Vauban thought of fortifyirg Paris at time when the necessity for doing so seemed to be much less urgent than in the present day. Vauban, who was CONTENTS : S TREET DIRECTORY, (the first ever published of the Metropolis, to include Merchants and Tradespeople, at , well as Nobility and Gentry. ) Commercial Directory.

We have asked in our re port that the works to be undertaken shall be a continuous wall and outer works, that both shall be con structed at the same time, that a guarantee shall be given to the communes within the wall that they shall not be included in the octroi of Paris, and certain special exceptions with regard to military servitude. Oa all these points we are perfectly in unison with the Go vernment. I must now inform the Chamber of some difficulties that arose in the Commit:cc, but which have been removed. We were desirous that the precise situ ation of the external works should be stated in the Bill, but we gave way, lest we should embarrass the execu tion of the plan, contenting ourselves with the engage ment made as to the continuous wall, the expense of which is sixty-nine millions. Some persons have feared that we might have a Govei =ant which, for its per sonal preservation alone, would bombard Paris. But, Gentlemen, could there ever be a Government which would bombard its own capital ?—( Murmurs at the left of the Chamber. Our task is now completed. In our own conviction, there is no more patriotic work than fortifying the capital, and of the propriety of doing this there can be no doubt, after what. hies been said by two such judges as Vauban and Napoleon. In the name of my colleagues, I implore your adopticn of the Bill. Never was an enterprise of greater grandeur or im portance proposed to a great people. In ordering its execution, you will take away from our enemies the pre. tence which they would deduce from a pretended want of firmness on the part of the French nation, and you will endow the capital with an enclosure which will ren der the country invincible.

There is no more mistaking his genius than the sun blazing beyond.".—lntroduction to Scblegel's Lec tures on Dramatic Literature. as good a polieciun and administrator as he was un en- gineer, eirployed his whole life in creating a frontier or France, and although in his time wars of invasion had Cen N fib not yet startled the world, it was easy to perceive that the powerful Monarchy of Louis the XIV., which had excited the jealousy of all Europe, and had had to con tend: with at the same moment, England, the House of Austria, the House of .Spain, and the greatest part of Germany, might one day be attacked at its core. " The capture of Paris," says he, " would be one of the heaviest misfortunes that could befal the kingdom, and one from which it would not soon recover, if ever." During the whole of the 18th century, in which France was in a coalition with almost the whole of Europe, sometimes against Marie Therese, and sometime against Frederick the Great, no fear could be entertained for the capital. The American war, more fortunate than those which preceded it, and which was of a naval chu raater,. did not, .of course, attract any attention to th interior of the kingdom. But as soon as the revoluti4 of 1789, by placing us in contradiction with the whole of Europe, gavo birth to a war of principle and con quest, serious thoughts of fortifying Paris were enter tained ; but, as:usual, the thoughts were ill-formed, and formed too late. The revolution aeon became victo rious, and the idea of fortifying Paris was no longer thought of. Napoleon came. It has been said that Napoleon did not think of fortifying Paris until the year 1814. We shall see, however, by turning to page 38, vol. 9, of his memoirs, that he entertained this idea on his return from Austerlitz, but the fear NOTICE is hereby Given, that ROBERT ANDREWS and THOMAS ANDREWS, of South wick. in the county of Durham, Shipbuilders, and co-partners (carrying on trade under the firm of Robert and Thomas An drews), have, by indenture of Assignment, bearing date the 9th day of January, 1841, CONVEYED and ASSIGNED all and singular their Estate and Effects whatsoever (as well joint as separate), to RICHARD CHARLTON, of the borough of Sunderland, merchant, ANTHONY NEWTON, of the same place, merchant, and RALPH HUTCHINSON, of the same place, merchant, as trustees upon trust for the benefit of the creditors (joint and separate) of the said Robert Andrews and Thomas Andrews, which said deed was executed by the said Thomas Andrews and Ralph Hutchinson on the day of the date thereof, by the said Robert Andrews on the 10th day of January instant, and by the said Richard Charlton and Anthony Newton rapectively on the 14th day of January instant, the execntiott whereof by the said Robert Andrews is atfested by John Peiall Kidson, of the said borough of Sunderland, solici tor, and by the said Thomas Andrews, Ralph Hutchinson, Ri chard Charlton, and Anthony Newton, is attested by John Kidson, of the said hot ough, solicitor; and the said Deed now lies at the office of John P.

THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIAC UM is intended to relieve those persons who, by .an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu arity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of Iwo, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. Cons'itutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, it:thmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured.

Friday night was the concluding night of the season, according to the general licence of the theatre. On this occasion the new play of Money was repeated, which was received (as has always been the case) with the greatest applause by a numerous audience. 041 the fall of the curtain, Mr. Webster came forward, and, addressing the audience, returned thanks for the great patronage that he had experienced during the present as in past seasons, and alluded with consider able taste and delicacy to the sucoess which had attended his endeavours to cater for the public taste by the pro duction of new and original pieces in support of the cause of the legitimate drama. He then announced that, in consequence of cirearnstances which hid recently oc curred, in connection with the very successful play which had been exhibited that night, and which had obtained such approval, be had made applica tion for the extension of the general season of that theatre, which had been acceded to him. The address was received with loud and general applause. Tnis was followed by the Children in the Wood, in which Mr. Wallack enacted the part of Walter, and, if possible, with greater energy and effect than he manifested on former occasions.

Is not the state of things in which Paris should be menaced by the enemy an exceptional one ? 2d. Supposing that Paris were thus menaced, ought it not to be defended by per manent works ? 3d. If Paris is to be defended by permanent works, is it to he hoped that, in arming the population, there can also be imparted to it the courage and sang froid that are necessary for the defence of ramparts? 4th. Supposing this question to be answered affirmatively; might not such a work, by the enormous expense it would occasion, exceed the means of a great nation ? sth. Might not the advantages to be de rived from the fortifications become dangerous to the cause of liberty ? With respect to the first question we must observe that Vauban was the first man who thought of fortifying Paris in a regular manner, and assuredly France at that time was not in a revolution. Coalitions were formed against France in 1792, 1798, 1805, 1809, 1813,and 1815,under pretext of combating our revo lutionary principles. This state of hostility ceased under the restoration, because Europe then hoped that the elder branch of the house of Bourbon, transported from exile to the throne, would keep within bounds the spirit of the revolution, and would not seek to recover what France had lost. But the revolution broke out afresh in 1830, overturned the dynasty charged with keeping it down, and gave itself a new Government. What has this Government done within the last ten years to justify the patent in latent hostility of Europe? Nothing assuredly, for it has neither been ambitious, nor has it sought to provoke disorder. And yet at the present moment it stands alone in Europe, as it did during the coalitions of 1792 and 1813. If our fortresses in 1792 protracted the invasion, and gave France time for or ganisation ; if in 1815 they occasioned the enemy much loss of time and blood ; if they diminished one fourth the armies advancing on Paris—they did not do all that was requisite, for our capital, owing to its being exposed, was finally invaded. What is to be inferred from this? Why, that however useful and indispensable fortified frontiers mare he, they are not all-sufficient, and that capitals should be defended. la support of this argument we have the authority of Napoleon, who was aware that if Vienna, Berl a, and Madrid had been fortified, he would have failed in his campaigns of Austria, Prussia, and Spain. Having shown that Paris ought to be fortified, the next and a very important question is the means of execution. Some persons have said that all that is necessary is to protect France from a coup-de-main. Napoleon, they say, did not I contemplate any more than this in 1815, but if he did not, it was because he had not time. His intention was to establish permanent fortifications at a later period. What we should never lose sight of is the ne cessity of protecting the capital against the chalices of a coup-de-main. With permanent fortifications it would no longer be a coup•de-main or a battle that Paris would have to dread, but a regular siege. Now an army does not carry on a siege in an enemy's country with ordinary means. It is difficult even in one's own coun try for an army to carry with it all that is necessary for a siege, and it is still more difficult to do so in an enemy's country. This is the consideration which has induced the Committee to adopt the principle of permanent fortifications. Paris once capable of resisting a siege, is for ever delivered from the dangers and terrors of a Beige. But, it is said, it is impossible to think of making Paris a fortified place, and to expose a million of inhabitants to all the horrors of a siege, and of a bombardment. How, it is said, could you in such extremities lock yourselves up in Paris with its inhabitants, the Government, the Cham bers and the agents of publicity ? How could you block up all these elements, and subject them to mili tary Government? These objections vanish on exa tnination. If we succeed in making the capital capable of resisting a siege, we at the vane time deliver it from all the dangers of a siege. But again it is said, the inhabitants of large cities are not capable of resisting a siege, and why not ? We deny this positively and openly, in the name of the inhabitants of Paris. Recal to mind how many combats have taken place i n Paris within the last 50 years. Have you not seen in all these events the most striking proofs of the bravery of the Parisian population ? In 1830 they fought for the charter, and triumphed. In 1832 and 1834 the nati ons! guard fought bravely for order and the laws, against those delu led men who:in this contest displayed a de plorable courage. In these events, was a sense of dan ger exhibited by either the attacked or the attacking party ? But without dwelling upon these reminis cences of civil war, let us go back to the year 1814. Did the Parisian then show that he was afraid of danger ? We have consulted ocular witnesses of these events, and they have told us that on all hands the people of Paris demanded arms. Officers have told us that under their eyes the inhabitants of the fan bourgs placed themselves near the walls, and profiting by their position, bravely acted the part of tirailleurs. In such circumstances an energetic and zealous chief has only to present himself, and to stamp with his foot upon the earth, and soldiers will spring forth. When in 1723, Lille and Valenciennes underwent a siege, in the sacred defence of the country, the inhabitants thought little of the inconveniences of the siege for themselves, and Paris would do the same, We aro asked, however, how such a capital as Parisi could find provisions in a state of siege? We have consulted all the necessary documents, and have arrived at the conviction that if a capital has more wants it has also more resources. Trailers, in the hope of gain, would not hesitate to Mae bli4 largo depots. Itusaians knew this when they burnt Moscow. The Chamber will now permit me to quote from official documents. The flour which the bakers are com pelled to have in reserve, and that deposited in the grenier d'abondance, must always suffice for a consumption of thirty-five days? Whet-e are besides commercial depots which bring up the store of flour to the consumption of forty-six days. Paris has generally a large quantity of silt meat. The greatest difficulty would be as to the fresh meat ; of this I shall speak by and by, There is always in Paris a six months' etore of fuel, wines, and spirit. These facts being known, wo have inquired whether it would be possible to provision Paris for ($0 days, supposing a population of 1,300,000 souls. This fact appears, in our opinion, to l o Trite possible. Now no enemy mild ever heaiege. paris for RI I , or s,ippo;ing " its army to consist of only 230,000 the invaders, and not the inhabitants of Paris, would he starved, for to provision a besieg ing army of 250,000 men, several armies and immense magazines would be necessary ; but the hypothesis of a siege of p,n 44p nc:t: tQ coti.vitiilateii. We have supposed a population of 1,300,000 inhabitants, whereas the regular population within the walls would not be more than 1,000,000. When we add, 1 300,000 for the inhabitants of the environs who might seek refuge in Paris, and for the garrit ; ;;;;; ; via * eingt,e - yoria what wouldfie possible. It has been said, that in order to fortify Paris there must be five hundred fronts of fortifications, and that these would cost, each 1,000,0001., labour and mate rials being dearer in Paris than elsewhere, tlefe it i said, is at once an expenee of 5q9,q0p0 4 mf.

Nothing can possibly be worse than the footpaths within a few hundred yards of the Palace. LOSS OF THE BUFFALO. Wa regret to learn that accounts have been received in town of the loss of her Majesty's ship Buffalo, on the 28th July last, in a gale of wind, in Mercury Bay, New Zealand. It appears that a party were on shore, cutting wood for the colony, when a gale sprung up, and the vessel was wrecked. Two men were lost, named Moore and Corney,, both of Chatham. The remainder of the crew were encamped on shore, until a vessel arrived to relieve them. This has been done. The Buffalo was only a sort of lumber-ship, or provi sion•tender to the Colony.

After a consultation, the foreman stated that there was no prospect of unanimity of opinion being arrived at for the present, and the Jury were therefore ordered to retire. During their removal, one of the jurymen contrived to make his escape, and the others were dis charged The prisoners were set at liberty, and the Court adjourned. On the following morning, a juryman, named Thomas Aldread, farmer, of Horsley, was bought before the Court. lie pretended, that when the jury were retir ing from the box to the room, under the custody of one of the officers of the Court, he thought their delibera tions were at an end.

In our last we inserted an advertisement of the anni versary dinner of the Glasgow Renfrewshire Society, mentioning that the members would dine in the Trades' Hall, and that Professor Wilson, of Edin burgh, would preside on the occasion. Were we to allow such an announcement to pass without a word of comment, we would be doing ourselves a gross injustice, and suppressing those warm emotion of the heart we never fail to feel when the very name of that great man, who has so often delighted and enraptured us by his writings, is mentioned. Well du we remember him abriut 1805, when just returned from Oxford !—and what days and hours of delight has he not afforded all Europe betwixt and that period ! Who can ever forget the chastened and classical beauty of his Isle of Palms f \Vho can ever forget the rap ture with which they have pored over the sublime poetry of the Nooses Ambrosianso, when Christopher North, in the meridian of his greatness, and rioting in his un quenchable genius, shouldered his deathless crutch !

The purpose for which they meet is that of social and political movement and progression ; the attrac tion which brings them together is that of common sympa thy and common interest; the object which they have to accomplish is the elevation of the industrious and now unenfrarrchised classes to the rank of citizens and free men.

Major Morse Cooper has m a d e two p p ii ea t i ons to the Horse Guards to be allowed to Q.:gell ing , f rom La pay to the active duties of his profestion ; and in those applications named the officers who w ere willing to ex change with him. In consequence of the refusal of both these applications, Major Morse Cooper addressed a let ter to Lord Hill, in justification of his conduct. In this letter, Major Morse Cooper explains the position in which he has been placed, by the Horse Guards sheltering the Earl of Cardigan under the very itcts for which they were eem:uring him ; he tells the Horse Guards that he is filly prepared to prove every asser tion he had made relative to the Earl, and complains of the illegality and injustice of the Court-martial which sat on Captain A Reynolds, for quoting hie:.

In reply, Lord Hill regrets the asperity of tone which prevailed throughout the Major's letter, and is, astonished to find hint justifying himsalf in op position to the Court-martial, and assures the Major WI is not warranted in the conclusion he has arrived et, in supposing that it was Lord Hill's intention to prevent his resun.in g the active duties of his profession. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND THE, HORSE GUARDS. (From the same.) Above we have given two cases, in which the Horse Guards, to shelter the Earl of Cardicon, has been obliged to succum'), in a very unprecedented manner, to two junior oilieers in the service. We hope, on the meeting of Padiainent, that Major M. Coo per's Ica( r to the hors;; Guards, and Lord Hill's reply, will be read to the House by some Honourable Metohcr after moving for their production.

It would appear, from a country paper, that there has been a rumour of Lord Hill's intended resignation. from ill hoalt6 ; but that journal remarks, that they are happy to hear his Lordship is in good health; and, theroforo, doubts the truth of the rumour. Perll , ips the circumstances we narrated in our first number, and those we now disclose, may more easily account for the rumoured resignation. It seen:; to us that the result of this commotion, must be either the resignation of Lord Hill, or of the Earl of Cardigan. Between these two, who can hesitate as to the services which have been the most valuable to the country [An old military officer suggests that Lord Fitzroy Somerset, perhaps, will feel bound to follow Lord Hill's resignation, should the rumour be founded on. truth, as he, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, has, personally„ Trawl interfered on behalf of his friend the Earl of Cardigan.] RELIEF OF.
