The soldiers shouted " Vivc l'Empereur !" Marshal NEY embraced every person round about him, assuring them that this affair had been arranged more than three months, and that the return of tUoNAPART'r was the wish of the Army. Other 'witnesses proved the effect this lied' on the Army, and Commissary FERRAND, that NeY declared, he had for three mouths known what was doing at Elba. Proof was also given, that up to the 14th Mardi he ridiculed the enterprize of BUONAPARTE, swore to take him dead or alive, turd asserted that be ought to be destroyed like a Ntild beast.

The hot wind has never been felt in Madeira to such an excess, and it was at its height while „t c hT,,Northumberland was off the island with BunsArm= and his Suite, when it literally blew a hurricane.

" We are sorry to perceive from the Westero papers, that though. tic savages at Detroit have received the news of peace with much apparent sincerity and satisfaction, ill-blood continues to ,uiec in another quarter. The British ott one. side, and o n e people on the other, at Detroit, are "far from being cordial to each other. The soldiers desert to our territories whenever they have an opportunity, which irritates the British Officers, who do not conceal their feelings. On a recent occasion, it appears a British guard pursued some deserters within our lines, searched houses, stationed guards on the road, one of whom fired at an American citizen. Justly enraged at this outrage on our sovereignty, it is stated, that our citizens took up arms and pursued the aggres sors, frotn whom they took au Officer, who, it is s aid, is to be held in confinement until the Bpi- release a to all ' • t.s.. , One of their deserters, whom they, seited on our side, and curried soft' with L .._ .

CRAWFORD, and thorigh her powers were somewhat , in .the wane at that period, her performatice of Eitutita Was perhaps one of the most affecting exhibitions that the stage ever presented. Indeed, her wanner of ,iimirtiNg the character drew tears from the. in thence; rather than applause throughout, and the piece was thereby rendered very popular and at tractive. It is but justice to Miss 0'Ni:10, to say. that she gave a very pathetic representation of Elwina, and such as • would add to her reputa ration, it it wen! not 'already so firmly established in public opininn. The characters of Dotiglo's and Percy • tletiVed ail reqnisite support from Mr. YouNo and Mr. C. KENnE, attd the play wai universally well receiVed by a crowded audience. —We think the Critics of the papers. in general have been too severe in their comments on the play itself. It is affecting in the story, the senti ments are natural and well expressed, and the characters properly discriminated, and forcibly drawn. This consideration, air! the many excel lent works, on political, marsh, and religions subjects, which has since issued front the author, gave her fair claims to a more lenient decision on the merits of her dramatic composition. ROCHESTER PEDESTRI/N.—(l3th Day.) BAKER, on Saturday night, after resting in the course of the day nearly three hours, with great ease. completed 50 miles and 216 rods; on his last titiii . coining up to the starting post, he con tinued humming his favourite song, '' Within a mile of Edinbro"lown," and which, in the afternoon, he had sung often to his friends, whilst in hie room at the Cossack. Yesterday morning he started oir quite fresh, at a quarter past two o'clock, and at breakfast (20 Minutes before eight) had only performed 14 miles, owing to the slippery state of the ground, resting then 20 ►mi nutes, and at a quarter past ten 22 miles, when he • left off during Divine Service ; commenced again at twelve o'clock, and ashes having in the mean time been put on the course, he was then enabled to keep up at his old pace, and by ten minutes after two, accomplished thirty miles, when lie dined. He started at half after three, and at 26'minutes before six, com pleted 38 miles ; end filially, last night, at 20 minutes after 'nine o'clock, finished 50 - miles and 144 rods. Bets are now two to one in his favour. Colts EXCHANGE, Noy. 13.—We bad a good supply of Wheat this morning from Essex and Kent, the sale of which W 43 rather dull at the prices of this day week. Fine Barley and Malt fully supported their prices. Having a good sup ply of Oats, and no great briskness in the sales, they may be noted '2s. lower than this .day week.

SMITIIFI ULU, Nov. 13.—Thit, day's Market had a good sup ply of prime Beasts, and the show of Cattle in general was considerable ; Beef %vas dearer ; Mutton seas cheaper ; VCal and Pork supported last prices ; and the trade, for the roost part, was somewhat brisk.
