The disaffected in ail parts are as- sembling, stating as a pretext to cover their real , views, the necessity of driving away the Allied Forces, and shaking off the Contribution—but the hatred to the BOURBON Party is the true cause of the movement.

It appeared that the deceased was only 22 years of age, and 'had been Toll-collector of Smithfield-market, from which situation he had been discharged about thirty weeks, during which time he had no permanent situation, which very much af hetet] his mind, and caused a kind of mtntal de :augment.

Sta,—Most of the Public Prints, and Tun Su among the rest, have treated the recent Trial and Condemnation of BERTRAND, by order of the French Government, as a ridiculous mockery, irat, from what I have heard, at a source on which I ant disposed to place much re liance, it is a measure of policy- intended to strike terror in those who are attached to the cause Of BUONAPARTE. The partizans of this worthless Exile abOund in all countries.. They are incessant in their efforts to promote the over throw of the Bouanost race, and it they cannot effect the return of their execrable Chief, to re vive, if possible, the principles of his Government. Many of these persons, particularly those who have been active in his cause, were expected to return to France, relying upon the clemency of the King, or the weakness, of his Government, and might hope to escape with impunity, while they carried on plots for the destruction of both. The trial and conviction of BERTRAND was, there fore, we are assured, intended as a NATIONAL WARNING, to prevent such wretches from enter ing krance, embroiling the Government with le gislative proceedings, only calculaled to keep alive principles and events that never ought be re garded without horror, and to protract those mea sures necessary for healing the revolutionary wounds, giving stability to the Throne, leading the minds of the people into habits of industry and peace, and promoting the happiness and se curity of the country at large. In this view of the case, surely the trial of BERTRAND, who, it is known, is discontented with his present situa tion, and who, if he could find means to get re leased, might have audaciously returned to France, and thrown himself upon the false, pity of the un reflecting multitude, may be considered as an act of national policy, merely upon the homely but judicious principle, that prevention is better than cure, and that it is wiser to keep traitors al o of than to place the country in a perpetual state of agitation, by a legal inquiry Into their ctimes, the issue of which might be doubtful, and the progress certainly perplexing, vexatious, as well as unnecessary, and hostile to public repose. lint is it indeed to be supposed that the French Go vernment, in the eyes of mankind, would have adopted the measure in question, if there were not substantial reasons for their conduct, though they might not think it necessary to proihulge them to the world. What then appears to be an idle pa rade of justice and punishment upon an -object on whom it cannot be inflicted, may have its loan datiou in a wise policy, in oiler to preserve-.the .country from deep machinations 4itti2 unceasing troublea.

Calcutta Journals have reedier' us to the latter end of December. Now that peace with the Goorkabs has been concluded, oriental ufnirs be come less interesting. A serious affray has taken place in India be tweet) his Majesty's 87th foot and the division of tic Hon. Company's European regiment. Such had been the jealousy and ill-will excited between the troops, that it was determined to separate them, by sending away the 87th regiment front . its station at Berhampore. The llth of, Novem ber was appointed for that purpose, when the evening before many privates of that corps rush ed out of their barracks, armed with naked bayo nets, and a regular battle ensued between them and a part of the lion. Company's European re giment. But fur the timely and spirited interfer ence of their respective Officers, the consequences might have been fatal ; as it was, before they could be parted, many men were severely, and souse dangerously wounded. An inquiry has been instituted to ascertain the causes of this quarrel. \Ve regret to state, that the above affair is not the only instance of refractory conduct of which our troops in India have been guilty., A letter front Bangalore states, that some very unpleasant disturbances had taken place in his Majesty's 84th regiment, and in consequence a Court-martial had been instituted for the trial of eight of the ring leaders, who, it was apprehended, would be ca pitally punished. The following .extract of General Orders *ill throw some light on the subject 114.nga1..., Oct. 4 ed 1815. " The Commander in Chief having deemed it proper to abstain, pending the trials now caVry ing on, from giving publicity to the sentiments which have been excited in his breast by the dis graceful. transactions in. which the great body of met! of the first battalion 84th regiment is impli cated. tits Excellency has, for similar reasons, determined to dispense with the presence of that corps attending anylinetal parkde, antehedent tb the period, of making known the issue' of the Courts-martial, which it has , been his duty to or der on the present unhappy' occasion._ Hia Ma jesty's 84th regiment will therefore remain farmed i n its own Barrack.:sgtiare during the general p a- rade andgutipl-mounting to-morrow. (iigued) CONWAY, Atti.-Cebieral." The Commander in Chief of Madras was on hix *ay to Seringapatam, fur the purpose of examin•:. ing that place, anti of ascertaining whether it would be practicable 10 do away the same as a inilitaty station, on account of the extreme healthiness ut' the climate. Majesty's 34th regiment, when it went thete about a year sinte, was 1000 strong, - hut last month it could not muster 300 men on parade. The itutive troops are equally alticted.

But he has not thence given Ls a servile imitation, or a copy; on,the contrary, there is as much or 4 ). inality its the subiectadmitted, and great beauty in the exe cution of the whole. The moment is that in which Jesus is pierced with the spear, and the effect of this final blow upon the women is de lineated with great pathos and effect.
