FRENCH PAPERS. (Pram Ms Dont.) PARIS, 'OCT. c23.—The King granted a private audience to the Bishop of Clermont Ferrand, the Bishop of Meaux, Count .Deseze, Baron Seguier, Baron Gaujal, First President of the Royal Court at Limoges, M. Boscheron des Portes, President of the Royal Court at Orleans, General Trome- I'm, and i i ieut.-General Baron de Fririon. The Atzlibishop of Paris issued on the 20th -inst. a mairdate, w hich orders an octave of prayers ;n honour of St. Charles, to invoke the blessings of God on the reign of Charles A. A ship which arrived at Marseilles, in a fort night from the Canaries, brings a report that a; volcanic eruption had occurred thereon the 31st I August, at eight in the morning. The eruption continued till ten in the morning of the ist of September. 'From that moment till the 22d of 'September it continued to smoke, and on the last -mentioned day, at seven o'clock, it burst , forth anew, and-vomited from its crater a considerable 4ttnaotity of water. On the 26th the water still .continued to flow, but was less in quantity. We have mentioned a man, named Preatat,who hail endeavoured, in the United States, to pass 'himself off for the Dauphin, the son of Louis XVI. and we also announced that he had ernbarkedfor France. He has just 'arrived. He landed at Havre, and -presented himself there in the cha racter of Charles X., King of :France and Na varre. As yet, he has only succeeded in .proving himself a madman, and, despite of the numerous certificates and documents which .he produced, the King's Lieutenant, Baron le Pic, has not he sitated to arrest him, and place him in safe cus tody. Soto, SEPT. 17.—0 n the 14th ,of this month the Greek squadron, to the number of 70 sail, appeured before Stanchio with a dozen fire-ships, -which it launched at once against the vessels of the Capitan Pacha, which were drawn up in two •separait) lines. Two of these firo-ships were par ticularly directed against We Admiral's ship, where confusion and terror were beginning to spread, when two frigates coming forward, opened a heavy cannonade upon the two fire -ships, and succeeded' in destroying them.- 'F hose 'that were sent against •• the remainder of •the Capital* Paella's squadron did no mischief. Four , others sent against the Egyptian squadron were also kept off by the artillery of the ships of war ; but it appears that they succeeded in reaching some vessels of the convoy, for a pretty violent explosion that was heard iu the midst of -the action proved that some one of these had -caught fire, and blown up. The Greeks have affirmed thaolt was an Egyptian frigate that was blown up; butthe Captain of the Ansaranthe ) who was very near the several squadrons, and dis• tioctly heard the explosion, has affirmed that the report would have been louder if it had really . keen a frigate. lie is persuaded that it was a transport that was overtaken by the fire.ships. Letters from Prevesa of the 7th, 11 tlt, •and •15th of September, announce that the civil war still continued in Albania, where SelictarToda •has collected as many troops as his enemies, apt where there were actions every day. The euvi. rotis of Joatioina are the theaire of continual rob . bevies, as well by the 'forks as the Greeks. A hundred and fifty horsetail, of the corps called .•Dely, destined to join Jussuf•Paelta, had arrived -at Prevesa. The Greeks under. the comtnaud of :Captain Baugo have advanced into the territory .of Arta, so as to interrupt all the. commuuications of that place. Omer -Pacha 'left his nephew r Achmet with 500 men in his camp bf Carvassari. Acartmnia, and advanced with 2,000 men to raise the blockade of Arta. He went to•Vrachorl, where he surprised. some Greeks at work in the lields, killed 15, and curried off 9.0 women. lie retarned to Carvassari. The Greek troops, who - were three hours march from Vrachori, did -not. move. The Greeks at Missolonghi have written to .Captain Karwukioti, a deserter from their cause, and now a partisan of Omer Tuella, that the .plans of thy► Ottoman Government were totally -defeated, that the Turks were every where beaten, and that the expedition of the Pacha of Egypt was partly destroyed—that, in short, it was fitting that he should think of making repara tion for his faults by rendering srm►e service to his country. This letter fell into the hands of Outer t•'nrhn, and has greatly lessened his confidence in Karnnkioti, who has found it very diflicult-to re - cover his good grsces. ( Prom the Journal des Debott.) PARIS, OCT. 22.—At noon the King presided at the' Su. perior Council of Commerce and . the. Colonies. This sitting lasted four hour hours. 111. le Dauphin was present. It is said that the President of the Bureau of Commerce, M. de Saint Cricq, made a Report on the Commercial Convention of the 20th of June, 1822, •between the United States and France. This spontaneous resolution of the King to preside in per. • eo►n over an institution to which his august brother lately con . tided tl►e agricultural Interest, . the .arts of industry, and-the commerce and navigation of the kingdom, is a new proof of the concern of Charles.X. for the - welfare of his people. These gtest interests have reference to every species of work, of pro ductions, of consumption, and: every thing that relates to the people at large. Agriculture, and the arts of. industry, are permanent and vital interests ; from these are derived the • well-doing of individuals, and the prosperity of nations ; and as the people Ore more or less interested in such things. they:have • the more or less love for the King that promotes theta. The King's knowledge of this will enable him to inert the minutest - deceits of any discussion on this point ; to him will be made known the wants and the means of his people; and these wants, together' with their desires, will he laid with confidence at the foot of his Throne. The cause oldie Duke of Otranto, and the other children of • t i" ancient Minister of Police, Fouche, against the bookseller •-14erattge, to suppress the. Memoirs falsely attributed to their father•, wits celled on this day in the Civil Chamber of Vaca tion. It has been put off till after the Vacation, when it will doubtless give rise to many curious details. Tux ItiIf 4 ASSINATION Or Visreernms.—Poptivoine and Clotilde Melservah have been this day withdrawn, the former from the prison de la Force, and the latter from that of Made. lunettes, anti taken to the Cabinet of M. Demortiers, to be con- , f r onted with fresh witnesses. Maliervalt always appears in her pink dress, and the rest of her apparel the same as at was the ▪ Say of the Murder. BERLIN, OcT.l4;—To remedy the abuse, which has be• oome m oroand more common, of shortening the period of the ..t u dy of the gymnastics, the Minister has ordered that none . s h a lt be admitted to -the 'classes of Theology, at Bonn, but such Catholic Students as have at least been; one year• in . first class of the 'gymnastic schools of , the University. areangersont, however, is not applicable to those who already enjoy those privileges, or who can produee attestations No. 1 or 2 of one of the Royal Commissions of proof. (From the Constitutionnel.) 31AMITD, OC T. 11.-( Private Correspondence.)—The Court is still at the Escurial, where the Diplomatic Corps, the Alinis ters, and many persons of distinction, are to assist at the so lemn service for Louis XVIII. The Ministers returned the day before yesterday, hut the Diplomatic Corps will remain till the aecouchement of the Infanta Maria Francesca. It is said, that the Foreign Ministers have received from their . respective Cabinettfinstructions for softening the system of terror , and anarchy now existing. It is even supposed, that they are authorized to demand of the King the creation of a Council of State, divided into sections,..to favour- the operations of each of the Ministers. Since absolutism is adopted as a regular govern ment, this measure will, at all events, be better than leaving the power is the hands of an absolute and ignorant favourite. What is singular in the present state of affairs is, that this same favourite, all confined as he is, is necessary to check the influence of M. Calomarda, and the Director of the Police, who both of them incline towards persecution. -The Military Com mission is a truly Revolutionary Tribunal, in which - the words accusation and condemnation have the same meaning. They have eraleavoured, within these few days, to bring be fore this Tribunal the wretched Ex-Minister Crux, who has been, for some time, lying in prison, without the smallest charge against him. His unfortunate wife, who has been de nied the privilege of throwing herself at the feet of the King for mercy, justly alarmed at the plot which has been fOrmed against the life of her husband, has at length had recourse to the Commanding , French Officer, who has ordered one of his Aides-de-Camp to accompany her to the Escurial for that purpose. PAWS, OCT. 21—The mechanics employed in the calico manufactory at Brussels have celebrated the fate of St. Luke, their patron, in a patriotic manner. Each of them wore a pair of stuff drawers of their own manufacture , and joined in sing. inga verse expressive of their love of their country, and their desire to excel-the English manufactures. The small.pox is at its height in the Department of De L'Auhe, and chiefly at Troyes. A great number of children have died of the disorder. A Decree of the Prefect of the De. pertinent directs the Mayors to employ every means to per suade parents to have their children vaccinated. The same re. commendation is addressed to heads of establishments, as well as to such manufacturers who employ children. From Thionville, dated 18th October, they write—An:inva sion has taken place which was little expected. A troop of wild boars, ascending the canal which separates the fort of -the -Double Crown from the division of Yutz, has alarmed the town. The instant this news arrived, the people approached them, all bearing arms,. sonic with sledge hammers. The officer on duty at the fort, seizing a gun from one of his troop, killed two of them ; five ()there were likewise killed ; the rest took to eight, and were favoured by the darkness of night. , It-was not till night that the cause of this descent was discovered. Three hunters, beating the country-round Sicrek, mat in the little wood of Maquenon a troop of 24 boars, who were driven by dogs from that wood to the wood of Ham and. back-again. At -length they appeared in the plain, and the people of Besse Yutz of Maquenon pursued them till t h e y readied the right bank of the .Moselle. . Som e were kill e d h ere ar id at other -places in their route, and the others penetrated the-canal be tween the two forts, Where the -action was renewed Ili above described. (From the Courier Francais. • PARIS, OCT. 25 4 .—We gave an accounffrom a Lyons Jour nal a few days ago, of some facts relative to a trial for seducing workmen to go and engage in the manufacture of silk in Eng land. To these - facts some reflections were added, the justice of which we cannot sanction. Inasmuch as we allow that the Government has the right to regulate the motions of its sol diers, whose pay and provisions it supplies, Insomuch *(10 we be -1 lieve, that the artisans, who have contracted no engagement, ' and who work foi hire, are five to carry their industry to the place where it is most productive. Opposite pretensions appear to us as little conf orma bl e to t h e pr i ncip l es Of general rights, as they are little favourable to the progress of industry. No nation has been so long imbued with prejudices on this head as the Eng lish, both as it relates to commerce and politics. During seve. ral ageethe English supposed 'that the superiority of a . people in.the arts depend e d on th e s kill o f i ts wor k men . In th is there , was some appearance of reason, but it WAS taking the effect for the cause; what makes skilful workmen is the entire freedom of industry, amass of capital, and a spirit of association. A nation which possesses these elements will soon acquire work. men who will place its manufactures in such a state as not to fear rivals. '1 so simple and so evident must be appre ciated by Statesmen like Mr. Iluiltisson, Mr. Peel, and air. ‘Robinson, who possess accurate kno*ledge in politield economy. Thus the present Ministry did not oppose' Mr. biome's propo. sal to. repeal the ordinances and laws, the result of•whieli was 'to restrict the individual freedom of every class of workmen. At present we may invite English workmen to France, pass. ports are granted them with as much facility as any other citi 7sene, and the manufacture of M. Maltby, at Charenton, proves that there Is no restraint to prevent them coming to France. Is It .not, therefore, humiliating to see that the French, who, in -in-arts and science, are at least as far advanced as die English, should.shew themselves so far behind them on questions of in. dustry, commerce, and administrative economy. Mitch time will be necessary, and many obstacles must be opposed, before the .Ideas which we have just exposed will be understood by our 'Ministers and their subalterns. We may congrattilate ourselves; however, that the pretended seductions at Lyons have-caused a trial. Public discussion will enlighten the pub lic mind, and we may hope that, under the present circuits. stances, the pleadings and the decisio ns i n t hi s matter - w ill b e so many guides in this new path, in which our rivals beyond sea have preceded so many other people. The B.c.Conyentialist,' M. Thibeautleau, whose Memoirs on the FrenelLßevolut ion were l a t e ly published at Paris, has resided at Brueseit for some time. It is now said that he -has received orders to' leave Belgium, but that the state of his health, supported by a certi fi cate front his physician; has pro cured him come delay. Duplicity will never succeed in our country o opennexs and generosity are necessary to govern a nation which is frank arid generous. Let us judge by this test if the men now at the head of affairs can long remain there. Well assured that they have exposed thetneelves .too -certainly to the mistrust and the en. *fifty of the public, they do not even attempt *to reconeile themselves with public opinion ; they suppose it' is ceder to deceive the Sovereign as to their importance, and persuade him that the security of his 'throne ;depends on their pre ' serving their places. They even turn the words Of 'the Mo narch to their own advantage ; and because he, in the praise worthy intention of giving confidence to every great national interest at the beginning of his reign, has 'declared that he would only continue the pre, • ling reign, they pretend to sup pose they are intiutied in this declaration, and give themselves out as one of the great interests which it is necessary to attend to, as if they were one of the fundamental. inetituttonte which cannot be touched without danger • and they are within a little of attrib ut i ng as muc h t o their Ministerial legitima cy, as to the' legitimacy of the Crown. One might say, hearing them, that Charles the Tenth would be lost but for them; and though it is publicly notorious that the desti. tutiona anti other acts of these legitimate Excellencies are en tirely opposed to the benevolent intentions nia,nifested by the Monarch In the that daywof his reign , _ they-cause themselves to be puffed otfev er y d ay b y wr i ters in their pay—in the English Conner, as the " l ien -sent Ministry who have to admirably se ennded the wisdo ns o the Ilfonarelt." There ismometh ing extremely atalacioux in tag ng such praise to themselves. Do they then believe that the nation which hears this is as silly as the 'flatterer who gives it ? rf we were to examine in detail the manner in which the present Ministry have seconded the wisdom of Louis XVIII., we should be obliged to write a book, not a column of a Journal. But for what is the Crown indebted to them since the new reign began ? in the first .meeting of the Council, in which an important measure was discussed, demanded too by the unanimous-voice-of the nation, they opposed, with all their power, the benevolent intentions of the-Sovereign, and the po pular wish united in tile same object. The nation reclaimed with eagerness a dear and cherishetHiberty. The King and his August Son pleaded the cause of the nation, while the Mi nisters obstinately opposed the wishes of the people, and the bounty of the King. ' Lau le, (lc T. 13.—We have received afflicting news from Bil. boa. On the 211th of last month the Royalist Volunteers were met out of the town by the soldiers of a regiment of regulars and a dispute ensued ; the latter pretended that the Volunteers ought not to carry tire-arms, if 'they were not on duty. The comrades of the Volunteers in the town hearing of this dispute, deficit- the soldiers--a tumult was the consequence, which the French General proposd to the municipality to put an end to ; it refused his offer, and appointed sonic Monks to execute this office, who succeeded .for a moment. On the following Sunday, the Volunteers repaired to the promenade, and insult ed every body well dresse d, and all such persons (almost all merchants) .were obliged to retire to their own houses. Still later this triumphant mob have committed still greater excesses, and the authorities, to prevent further disorder,- were obliged to order that all shops and public places should be shut at sun set, and not opened till nine o'clock i, l the morning. Measures have also been taken to cause the shops to be shut, wherever there are more than two persons collected to make purChases. Such a state of things can only serve to discourage trade, and all those who can collect 'the means, have hastened to make, preparations for leaving the town. We expect a considerable ' emigration bbth by sea and by land.

TII E ,ARMY. 'finnsE.Guanns, OCT. 12, /824. At a General Court-Martial, held at Malta, on the Ist day of March, 1821, and on subsequent days, and re-assembled for revision on the 19th of July following, Lieut. George Francis Dawson, of the Royal Artillery, was arraigned upon the un dermentioned charges, viz. Ist. " For disobedience of orders, insubordinate and un officer-like conduct, when stationed at Fort St. Angelo, in the island of Malta, in hesitating and declining to carry into exe cution the orders he had received, on the 6th of August, 1823, for firing salutes from that fort, on the 9th and 10th of the same month, according to.istablished usage." " Andlor having written.two letters, dated the 7th and 9th August, to Major - Addams, commanding the Royal Artillery, remonstrating against carrying the aforesaid orders into effect." idly. " For writing *letter, dated the 11th August, 11123, of a highly insubordinate nature, and sliewing a spirit of oppo .sition to the authority of 'hie Commanding Officer (Major Addams) for having given orders to Serjeant lif'Clelland, of that corps, to fire salutes at Fort St. An gdo, on the 10th Aug. 1823, and. forhaving ordered the expenditure of stores, for the execution of regimental orders, without such orders passing through him (Lieut. Dawson), he well knowing that ltis own conduct, and that of another Officer, had led to the measures against which he was remonstrating." ' " The above conduct being highly subversive of military discipline, and holding forth a moat dangerous example to the British army:". Additional Charge preferred by Brevet .Major Addams, of the Royal Artillery. " For neglect of duty and disobedience of orders in not giv ing directions to the detachment under his command, for firing a salute at Fort St. Angelo on the 9th August, 1823, at noon, and in being absent from Cavalier St. Angelo (in the aforesaid fort) without leave, when such salute was fired by the said de tachment." Upon •which.charges the Court came to the following deci sion . "The Court having maturely and deliberately weighed and considered the evidence adduced in support of the prosecution, as well as the prisoner's hnving declined snaking any defence, is of opinion as follows, viz.:— " With respect to the First Charge, that he is Guilty of the same." . - - - reepect.to t the Second - Charge, -that he is Guilty of the 'erne." With respect •talhe additional Charge, that he is Guilty of the first part of thwCharge," -viz.:— Neglect of duty and disobedience of orders In not giving directions to the detachment under his command, for firing a salute at Fort St. Angelo, on the 9th August last." And with respect to the second and last part oldie said Charge, "In being absent frenrCavalier St. Angelo (iin the aforesaid fort) without leave, when s uc h sa l ute was f i red b y the sa id d e . tachment ;" " the Court finds him—Guilty only to the extent of being absent,' It appearing not to have been the practice in the Royal Artillery for Officers to attend these salutes; and therefore—Acquits him of being absent without leave." " The Court having found the prisoner--Guilty of the first and second Charges; and first pan of the additional Charge, and to the extent as set forth regarding the second and last part of the said additional Charge exhibited against him, being in breach of the Article% of Viral., does therefore sentence him, the prisoner, Lieutenant Geor ge F ranc i s Dawson, of the Royal Artillery—To be cashiered and rendered incapable of ever serving his Majesty in any military capacity whatsoever." •" The Court, referring to the proceedings on record in regard to the prisoner's defence, feels itself called upon to animadvert, in strong terms, on- the extrem e pertinacity of his conduct on this particular head ; and to express its surprise and displeasure at the decision he thought proper to make of withdrawing his defence altogether, after repeated warnings." " • It could not but be the wish of the Court, in this, as in every other case, to ace the prisoner avail himself (within those bounds whicirthe nature of his case warranted) of every pou *Me means for justification, from the charges on which he was arraigned." " -He had been allowed. by the Court (according to usual custom) a clerk ; and in addition the constant assistance of a friend, Captain Richard Harrison Pearson, of the Royal Navy. aided by-a professional gentleman, for the purpose of taking notes."- " The whole case had received the mast patient investigation, as the several cross-examinations chew, and the prisoner was allowed (at his own request) from Saturday to the following . Thursday to prepare his defence." " It was under these circumstances that he proceeded, and to a very considerable length, to read to the Court the defence referred to; in which he was not interrupted until he had so far travelled out of the charges altogether (by frequently reading largely from the Homilies of the Church of. England and the Holy Scriptures), that the Court felt itself compelled to take the measures which appear on record; measures which afford the prisoner repeated opportunities of correcting his misconceptions in this particular, and of returning► to that proper and allowed line of statement and defence which alone the Court could, in the discharge of its duties, permit the prisoner to pursue." " The consequence was on the part of the prisoner (after re peated admonitions from the Court) a deliberate withdrawing of his defence," -" A nd, enally, the Court cannot close its proceedings without lamenting that adifrerent - lineof conduct had not been pursued by both prosecutors; as, in all probability, afirm and energetic decision on their part,.in the first instance, would have led to other remltlts." In consequence of ft communication from the Judge Adm. cate-General, dated the 31st of May last, to the Deputy Judge Advocate, Captain ilayley, of the 30th regiment, which is in. scrted in the .proceedings, the Court was re-convened by a ge neral order, dated the 10th July, 1024, and upon a revision of the proceedings, came to the following decision, viz.:— " Malta, 19th J01y,1624. " The Court having heard the defence, And reconsidered its proceedings and former sentence on this trial, is of opinion as tbllows,"viz.:_... F " guilty to e First Cte.'harg,re, that be, Lieutenant G. . Dawson, 13 th of the san " With respect to the Second Chtu-ge, that he is guilty of the same." " With respect to the additional Charge, that ho is guilty of the first part of the Ch arg e, viz. :-- " Neglect of duty and disobedience of orders, in not giving directions to the detachment under his command, for firing a salute at Fort St. Angelo, on the 9th August last, at noon. " With. respect to the second and last part of the said Charge, "'in being absent from Cavalier St. Angelo (in the aforesaid Fort) without leave, when such salute was fired by the said tie. tachment;"—" the Court finds him guilty only to the extent of practice it appearing to the Court not to have been the the Roy a l A rti ll er y for Officers to attend t h ese p a i b n sent, salutes, and therefore does acquit him of being absent without leave." , r.

George Francis Dawson, of the Royal Artillery, to be dismissed his blajesty's service." At another General Court Martial, held at La Valletta, on the 24th of March, 1824, and on subsequent days, and re assembled for revision on the 21st July, 1824, Captain Thotna3 Atchison, of the Royal Artillery, was arraigned upon the un dermentioned charge, viz.:— " For disobedience of orders, insubordipate and unofficer like conduct, in not carryibg into executibp the orders that were conveyed to him, ty letter, from 'Acting A4jutant Somer ville, on or about the 9th of August last, desiringthat he would give directions for firing salutes at Fort St. Angelo, on the tith and 10th of that month." " And for writing a letter, dated the 9th of August, ad dressed to Major Addams, his Commanding Officer, hesitat ing and remonstrating against carrying the said orders into effect." " The above conduct being highly subversive of military discipline, and holding forth a most dangerous example to the British army : " . _ Upon which Charge the Court came to the following de cision : " The Court having most maturely and deliberately weighed and considered the evidence adduced in support of the prosecu tion against the prisoner, Captain Thomas Atchison, of the Royal Artillery, as well as what he has offered in his defence, is of opinion, that he is Guilty of the charge preferred against him, being in breach of the Articles of War, does therefore sentence him, the prisoner, Captain Thomas Atchison, of the Royal Artillery, to be dismissed his Majesty's service." " The Court, moreover, feels itself called upon to animad vert in a particular manner on the conduct of Brevet Major Addams, of the Royal Artillery, throughout; as, in all proba bility, the spirit of resistance, as set forth in evidence, might have been checked, and put down in its origin ; but for the in decision on the part of that Officer, as then commanding the Royal Artillery stationed at Malta." In consequence of a communication from the Judge-Advo cate-General, dated 31st May last, to the Deputy-Judge-Advo cate, Captain Bayley, of , the 36th Regiment, which is inserted in the proceedings, the Court was reconvened by a general order, dated 16th July 1824, and upon a revision of the pro ceedings, came to the following decision, viz.:— " M alta, July 21, 1824. " The Court having heard the defence, and reconsidered its proceedings, the former sentence on this trial, is of opinion as follows, viz. : ... . __ . .. _ . " That he, the prisoner, Captain Thomas Atchison, of the Royal Artillery, is Guilty of the charge preferred against him, riz. : " Disobedience of orders, insubordinate and unoflicer.like conduct, in not carrying into execution the orders that were conveyed to him, by letter, from Acting Adjutant Somerville, on or about the ilth August last, desiring that he would give directions for firing salutes at Fort St. Angelo, on the 9th and 10th of that month." " And for writing a letter, dated the 9th August, addressed to Major Addams, his commanding Officer, hesitating and remonstrating against carrying the said order s into effect." " The above conduct being highly subversive of military discipline, and holding forth a most dangerous example to the British Army." " Being in breach of the Articles of War, does therefore, on a most ettentive reconsideration of the whole of this officer's case, sentence him, the prisoner, Captain Thomas Atchison, of the Royal Artillery, to be dismissed his Majesty's service." In approving and confirming the finding and sentence of the Court, in both these cases, his Majesty was pleased to observe, that an occurrence of a nature so extraordinary, as that of the direct disobedience of orders committed to Capt. Atchison, and Lieut. Dawson, of the Royal Artillery, should not be promul gated to the army, without the expression of his 'Majesty's de cided reprobation of the mi s t a ken principles that have led these officers to sacrifice the feelings of subordination, which as soldiers t dt h hu e ll y t o lor u ffir g e h clei t gr i si o : l 4 l s it s v l e ,rp : cherished, t i o l e l rs e d dw:: a or l d e :( 111;11 ,edtwtro which the discipline of the army depends ; and hi.

In making this latter observation, his 'Majesty was pleased to revert to that part of the sentence of the Court which comments upon the conduct of the prosecutors, Lleut.-Col.

The Surrey Regiment are about to change their uniform to the more modern one of the Light Dragoons • it is to consist of blue jackets, with light blue turn-backs andsilver lace ; over alls same colour as the facings, with silver seam down the sides; dragoon child) and plumes. We understand that a Garrison Court of Inquiry is about to assemble immediately in Dublin, for the purpose of inquiring, whether there be sufficient grounds for a Court-Martial on the Lieutenant-Colonel of a distinguished Regiment of Dra. goons, who, it is alleged, has signed false returns for the mili tary allowance of coals, &.c. to an officer's guard at Newbridge Barrack, when in fact no such guard was mounted. The charge, if substantiated, subjects the offender to dismissal from his Majesty's service. —( Dublin Correspondent, Oct. 23.) LORD NELSON. The 19th Anniversary of the Battle of Tra falgar was selebrated on Thinsday at , the White Hart tavern Wigniore-street, with its usual splendour and accustomed con viviality. The great room was ornamented by a picture of the im mortal Hero, decorated with laurel, and the insignia of Victory gra ced the chair of the President. The dinner was excellent, and the second course consisted entirely of game, given in this instance by the President of last year, hut which was supplied by the late Marquis of Hertford ever since the establishment of the Society till his death. On the removal of the cloth Non Nokia was given in the best style by Messrs. Saunders, King, and other amateurs ; and after the King," and other accus tomed loyal toasts, the President rose, and in proposing " The immortal memory of Lord Nelson," prefaced the sentiment by observing, that however triumphant the victory, and h owever dazzling the " Sun of their Day" had set, the result of that glo rious conquest had proved or ten times more benefit to this happy country. The time which had elapsed since the enact ment of this great achievement had enabled us to contemplate it s importance with still greater exultation. We were now in the enjoyment of peace and plenty—of that peace the corner-stone of which was laid by the Great Chief, who sank into a glorious death in the very arms of Victory— by him whose memory was engraven on the heart of every Englishman, and - would descend from - generation to generation to the remotest posterity. " England expects every man to do his duty" was the last signal of the Hero--and the Sons of England- justified the prediction : and if ever their exertions should again be called into action, future Heroes would arise, emulous of the transcendent glories of that day, to support the honour °fay country, and to prove that "England's best bulwarks are our wooden walls." Th e applause was cowmen =rate with the feelings excited by the eloquence of the speaker --and though the sentiment was drank in solemn silence, every heart responded with admiration•nt the remembrance of the triumphs of the. Great Captain. - " The Duke of Wellington" followed, and was prefaced by a neat compliment to his Grace's valour and atchievements. In short, the day passed with harmony and conviviality ; and , the company departed at a late hour highly gratified with them selves and all around them THE REY. C. C. COLTON.—Within a few any:, a letter has been received from Dlr. COLTON, written in France, and addressed to a gentleman largely concerned in his affairs.— In this letter Mr. Colton says, that he has returned from A me rim for the sole purpose of coming to a general and satisfactory arrangement with all his creditors, which he does not hesitate to say he will be able to do in perfect accordance with their wishes, and the full attainment of which object, he says, he values even more than life itself; and that nothing but the most imperious circumstances compelled him to absent himself at the time he did (in the autumn of 111`23), until he should have made ar rangements to settle with every one to whom he owed a shilling —never anticipating or expecting that such a measure as an act of bankruptcy would have been resorted to against him. Mr. Colton further says, tl at soon after the receipt of that letter, the gentleman to whom it is addressed will be waited upon by a confidential friend of Mr. Colton's, to enter immediately upon a full arrangement of all his affairs as speedily as possible.— There is no doubt as to the genuineness of this letter, because it has been seen by several friends of Mr. Colton, well acquainted with his hand-writing, as well as the gentleman to - whom it Is addreued.--( Times.)
