G. licates the anxiety of ire preparationt for " Horse Guards, April 15, 1815. " Stn—The efficiency of every individual corps being at this time considered of the highest importance, I have re ceived the Commander-in-Chiefs commands to call your most earnest attention to every object which tends to prepare the regunent under your command for active and immediate ser vice. With this view you will please to adopt the readiest means of completing the equipment of the regiment in every respect; but the point to which I ant directed most particu larly to require yihr attention, is the Recruiting, Service, on the success of which must necessarily depend the possibility of the Regiment taking its share in the contest which may even tually await us. It is confidently expected, that the increase which has recently taken place i.r the levy money, and the alteration which has been admitted in the standard of the age and height of recruits, will give new energy and facility to this branch of the service; and it.must be your especial care to avail yourself of these favolrahle circumstances, to which within::: will more contribute, than a judicious selection of the non-commissioned officer; aunt soldiers whom you employ on this important ditty, taking spacial care that those only are thus employed, in whose zeal, activity, and intelligence, you have reason to place the utmost reliance. " The Commander-in-Chief is fully persuaded, that by a ,strict attention to the established rules and regulations, and by spirited exertion, combined with judicious arrangement as to the distribution and composition of the parties, the re cruiting' service may be made much more productive than heretofore, and his Royal Highness commands me to add-, that an Officer can hardly render a more acceptable service, or one more honourable to himself, than by his endeavours to place the corps under his orders in a state of preparation for active service.—l have the honour to he, &c. &e." Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a 'Military Levee at his Office, in the Horse Guards, as Com mander in Chief of the British army, which was very numerously attended. A strong Brigade of the Household Cavalry is ordered out to loin the armies under the command of the Duke of WELLINGTON. This Brigade is to consist of two squadrons of the Blues, and two squadrons of each of the regiments of Life Guards. The Bloomsbury and Inns of Court Volunteer Association, are about to oiler their services to Government as during the late war. A tender to that effect is .already signed by the greater part of the Members of the former Association. The St. James's have also tendered their services, which have been accepted. The Inns of Court Associa tion have shared in many actions, and so tick terror into the stoutest hearts.

Our Dublin Readers will reap information and amusement from the following translation of a passage in the Gazette de France of the 15th : " London, April 7. " The news of the return of NAPOLEON to Paris has caused the greatest sensation in Dublin and its environs. The people manifested their joy, occasioned by "so extraordinary an event, in a manner so tumultuous and turbulent, that the Magistrates deemed it prudent, to prevent disorder (the usual result of the assemblage of great multitudes), to stop the passages of the bridges and canals in the vicinity of the city, and order a report to be made every twenty-four hours on the state of the public tranquillity of the city. " The Courier of the 6th of April contradicts the details contained in the Gazette of Dublin, but it does not deny the principal fact that all the people of the Capital of Ireland are rejoiced at the return of NArotEoN." ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUND. op Saturday, last the Fourth Anniversary Din ner of this excellent Institution took place at the Freemasous"favern. BEESTON LONG, Esq. pre sided in the Chair, and a very numerous company assembled to promote the benevolent purpose of the Meeting, among whom we remarked GEORGE SMITH, Esq. M.P., F. FREELING, Esq. and many eminent Patrons of the Arts, as well as distin guished Members of the Royal Academy. After dinner Non Nobis Domino was sung in a delightful manner by a strong Band of Profes sional Gentlemen, vho greatly contributed to the attraction of the evening by Songs, Glees, &c. exec.ated is a manner far superior to the general style on similar occasions.' Messrs. 13:71,LAmy, PINE, LEETE, Goss, HEATHER, J. SMITH, ?Tas ters TURLE, MILLER, &C. &C. gratuitously contri buted to this musical treat. The usual loyal toasts h, ing been drunk, the Chairman called the attention of the Meeting from their convivial to 'their charitable duties, a short reference to which would add a zest to the former. Mr. Low), in a feeling manner, pointed out the causes which Operated so powerfully in preventing Artists from attending to their worldly 9dihAnta s c..3, while their lahntirg wpro devoted to the attainment of fame to themselves, and repu tation to their country. On these grounds, be con tended that the Public ought to take a peculiar interest in the happiness of their widows and children : that genius might not be depressed by the dread that those most near and dear to them should he consigned to want and wretchedness. This Address was received with great applause, and a spirited subscription immediately entered upon. Some time after Mr. ALEx4NDEtt read a detailed Report of the sums thus collected, which seemed much to exceed any former contribution which the Institution had received, though it had from preccdll4g efforts been rendered completely successful, having realised 18001. independent of the sums devoted to the alleviation of matiy cases of distress. Mr. SOLLY, the Chairman of the Committee entrusted with the management of the funds, fur ther stated, (on its prosperity being toasted), that a large proportion of the subscriptions received were annual. lie noticed that the sum, which it had been originally conceived would be a suffi cient stock for the Institution to proceed on was 20001. which sum he was convinced was far ex ceeded by this day's subscription. Yet, as the benevolent object of the Institution was capable of considerable extension, he strenuously recom mended to its suppoi ters a perseveranue in those efforts by which so enuch had been already achieved, in order more widely to diffuse the com forts and blessings it wAs calculated to bestow. '!'he Artists' Fund being drunk, called up Mr. WARREN-, its. Chairman, Avho returned thanks in an appropriate manner, and announced, that this Association had also been perfectly successful, and that after expending considerable sums in the relief of Artists in the decay of age, or unable from tem porary illness to earn a subsistence, there remain ed a clear balance in the hands of the Treasurer of 8001. The healths of that eminent Patron of the Arts, the Chairman of the East year's Meeting, Jr. C. LONG, and of the Marquis of STAFFORD, the Royal Academy, ti►e British Institution, &c. were drunk with due honours ; and the entertainments of tl►e day, which were in every way excellent, closed in the most satisfactory u►a►►ner, both with regard to the gratification of the individuals pre sent, and to the objects of the Institution. It is rather too impudent in BuoNAPARTE to complain of what he terms the robbery of the Crown Jewels from France, that belong to the legi timate monarchy of that nation, and at the same time to look at the contents of the Imperial seam, which contains the pride and ornament of many countries of which he plunde're'd them, to say nothing of his brother the mock-king of Spain, ‘vho attempted to run off with all the valuable pictures. and jewels which belonged to the right ful GQvcrnment of that kingdom. Th e Duk e and Duchess of Orthr.Atcs have taken up their ahoele at Richmond, ,where they propose to live in peat privacy. '!'k►c British Residents in Dunkirk have, it is repnrted, vecci►eti orders to quit that town. EDWARD MORRIS, ESQ. ;~}' ,+ It is our painful task, at present, to -add the name of another meritorious individual to the mournful list of those whose death the public and a large •circle of . _A:iends have to lament, fur the loss of eminent . talents and distinguished virtues. Mr."lltoxats was one of the Masters of the High COurt of Chancery, - an odic. to which his knowledge and abilities, as well as the great respectability of his character, would probably have recommended him, if he bad not been patronized by Lord Erskine, whose third daughter he married.--The talents of Mr. Moarus were not confined to the profession of the law, for his literary taste and genius were of a high order; In his earlier days he wrote several dramatic pieces, which were uniformly marked by elegance, spirit, and a - strong interest. The chiet of those productions w as a Comedy e ntitl e d F a l s e colours, of which the present Lady _Main' was t h e animated and :interesting Heroine, and in which she first displayed her musical powers in a very pleasing: F,reneh air. Another Comedy written by this Genileman was called The Secret, which, while it equalled the former in elegant dialogue, excelled it in variety of character, and interest of the fable. Both of these pieces were successful at the tm tie, and were well en titled to keep their station on the stag L, but they were characterized by a degree of delicacy and refinement in the dialogue somewhat above the po prihr taste. After having stilliciently displayed his literat .talents, so-as to give him a passport of intellectual repute to the first connections in this country, Mr. Moarus succeeded hi. einimabl e friend the late JOSEPH RICHARDSON, Esq. as Re , presentative in Parliament for the Borough of Newport, Cornwall. He was the son at Lir, late, and brother of the present, Dr. 1110aers, Nothing could be more amiable than the charac ter and !winners of Mr. Moulds, and Society never was deprived of a man more desrving of respect for conscientious discharge of public duty, and the virtues that endear and embellish private life.

We are assured, says a Morning Paper, by a Gentleman who left Calais only on last Sunday afternoon, that whilst he was present on the morning of that day, seven gen-d'armes arrived, to aid the Police in compelling the young men of that town (upwards of an hundred) to join the army, in conformity to the decree just published. Their names were all enrolled according to the custom of the French, and many of them were at home and easily found, but not one of them would consent to .proceed with the gen-d'armes. The Mayor of the town sent for the parents of the young men, and intimated to them the ill conse quences that might attend their refusal to march ; but all remonstrances were in vain, and not a sol dier was 'obtained. General VANDAMME, who had come from Dunkirk, was on the spot, and review ed at Calais the 56th regiment, which is well clothed and equipped, and comprised of fine young men. This regiment, which consisted of 1,200 melt a fortnight ago, has now been reduced to 1,050 by desertions alone, notwithstanding the gates are locked every evening, and that it would appear they had no means of escape except by ti►e sea. WINDSOR, APRIL 16.—Sunday the Duke of KENT arrived at the Castle on a visit to the QUEEN.. On Monday his Royal Highness left for Castlebar-hill. Monday the QUEEN and PRIN.. CESSES 'spent the day at the Princess ELIZABETH'S Cottage in Old Windsor. Princess SOPHIA is confined to her apartments through indisposition. The last Royal Hunt for the season will take place on Friday, when there is to be a remarkably fine deer turned out from Ascot Heath. Mr. WALTER SCOTT had the honour of an inter view with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house on Saturday last. Yesterday the Earl of GALLOWAY, the Rev. Sir HENRY B. DUDLEY, Bart• JOHN FANE, Esq. M.P. and DAMES GIDDY, Esq. M.P. were re-elected Vice-Presidents of the Board of Agriculture. Mrs. OPIE has disclaimed the authorship of The Noble Outlaw, which was recently brought forth at Covent-Garden Theatre. . Sir H. MILDMAY has, it is said, signified to.his friends that he intends to receive the band of Lady ROSEBERRY in marriage, the instant that thin unfortunate Lady is legally divorced by her pre sent Lord. It is not a little remarkable, and rather credit able to our northern neighbours, that the Chair and Deputy of the East India Company fur the last year were both Seotchmen, and that their siceesscrs to the same honourable situation are also of ti at country. When it is considered, that of this executive body (including .the six out try rotation) which amounts to thirty, only eight are from that country, is a very flattering compli ment, the more so as two of tire eight have on ly been twelve months in the Direction, and consc tviently not eligible for eittler of the Chairs. r that c Br' , ,sit ioa log t o pro' i e oc!! ces °I 00 , 101. x o 'l ter .5/ , LI ed Li fe e fo r ` ,er 9f ;1.05 , S r . 4 e°", ; of ; 4 1, ticlr'l.o( ' l ' d ,' li << '; c to t ' 6 ,1 Jl`' r e 04'1') re se v , l ll Pi°
