SUN-OFFICE, A c.r•-rAT Otiz There have been several Reports in eiretilation, which have exited a strong sensation in thotigh they cannot-be traced tri any credible au . . . thority. The first; which states that the King of FRANCE had been killed. This Report 'originated hi alllortilitg Print, and we understand has given occasion to Seeond Editions of others.—lt watt also strongly rumoured that Ihocnett had fallin a Victim to sonic Jacobin Mistt•eant. It is certain; ai we learn frOm a Gentleman who has just arrived in town, that the heroic Veteran is held in the utmost detestation by a great part of the Parisians, who ei.pi-eSS their wonder that such a Barbarian, as they style hint, should be a favourite with the English. /Ilia it is pro . - bable the Veteran is safe, as the Parisians Would dread the most signal vengeance. from the Prus sians, if any thing should befal theit favourite Chief.. Another prevalent Report this ►lay ‘vas, that a Jacobin Conspiracy had been detected, the object of which was, to destroy Tat, t. EY RAND au d Pon c HE. The Gentleman describes Paris at this moment . as an immense Bartholomew Fair. Nothing but gaiety appears outwardly, however thsy_may. be agitated by political rears or speculations. lie adds, that the English are actually adored in Paris,hut they dislike the Allies in general. Every body seems to wonder that the Goi-ernment does not adopt some, decisive measure, and that such has not been positively dictated, if not required by the Allied Powers. THE ARMY.. llorse-Guards, - .Taly 26, 1815. At a General Court-Martial held at St. Ann's Barracks, Barbadoes, on the 20th and 2`.?d of Fetruary, 1815, Lieutenant J. ANDEIdSON, Of the Bth West India Regiment, was arraigned upon.the following Charges :- Ist. For being drunk, and behaving in a riotous and dis orderly manner in the barracks, while on the sick list, on the night of 22c1 January 1815. 2d. For attempting to force a Centincl placed over him. 3d. For making use of opprobrious expressions to Lieut. Bushnan of the - same regiment, and-biting him when in the execution of his duty on - the same oighi.- The Court found him Guilty of all, but the Charge of being drunk, and sentenced bini tobe Cashiered. The Court, however, could not close its proceedings with out adverting to the young and helpless infant children of Lieut. Anderson, who was long in his Majesty's service, and therefore respectfully recommended his case to the graciims and dieeciful consideration of his Royal Highness.. The akiure ittitence Ilas been confirmed. (Signed) H. CALVERT, A. G. POETRY. DiStlidiTlON OF THE ISLAND OF ST. HELENA. ii'ritte►e by an Officer i►e the Iron. East ludia CtnyTany's Strike.

ST. HELENA. ILDii'OR,-At an epoch when all Europe's attention is directed to the fate of BUONAPART . . - the accompanying description of the spot'n here he is destinedto live, may probably be not uuaccept able to your numerous Readera. The Island of St. Helena is situated in lat. 15 deg. 35 minutes South„ and longitude 5 degrees 43 minutes WeCt, in the South Atlantic Ocean, about 1200 miles West of the coast of Africa, and 1800 East of the coast of South America. Its a•ppear mice on making the land from the Cape of Good Hope is that of a steep high rock, and resembles • a castle in the middle of the sea. On a nearer approach is distinguished . Long Wood., where the Lieutenant -Governor (Lieut.-Colonel SKCLTON) has a plantation, which looks very neat contrasted with the sterile and rocky cliffs by which it is sur rounded. All the-ships which approach St. lie- lens, except the Hon. Company's ships, bring Co = oil the windward side of the island, and send a boat on shore to the Castle; with an Officer or Mate, to'report their nation or business, and to request permission for anchoring, which, if com plied with, the. ship steers close under the land, ;td passes_by Mundell Fort, so Called after Coni n-tpdoq MUNDEN, who took the Island from the l'Outn,- in thereign Of King CummEt 11.. The :aheacei-ja very bold, which sOrrittithes occasions violent gusts and eddy winds as almost to lay ships 'on their beam-ends ; and the landing plate at jatties's Fort 'being at the most leerrard pant of the Island, renders the utmost attention necessary in. navigators. The shipping anchor quite close to the shore; the'anchorage is defend ed by farts, and a battery mounting 40 guns. • Ruperts Valley and James Valley are the only places in the Island for landin4a hut the ((inner has no water; that which is got at the latter is tily . iiiiatteans of the best quality. At the entrance .:of the :town is thd Governor's house, and it is a :itetitlatttty town of 50 to. 60 houses, between two -stems and dreary,mountains. There is an excel leot shop in .it, kept by a Mr. SOLOMON, where every article of China and India manufactory may he had, opposite to which is the Lieutenant-Go vernoe's,house. With the exception of the Go- Yernor, Lieutenant-Governor, and two Members of Connell, all the other inhabitants, both Military and civil, let lodgings, the establish ed rate of which, including board and wine, is 30s. per diem for each person, and half that SUM for children and servants. Contiguous to the town, up James Vulley,; is a'barrack : a few companies of. artillery and infantry_ compose the garrison. A little beyond this are the Company's gartlen, and a few . neat houses built by the oth cers of the settlement, with gardens well supplied Alai fruit. The population,' exclusive of troops, may-be about 1,500, reckoning the slaves. The extreme length of St. Helena is three leagues, its form circular, and about 27 miles round. The - pritibilial ridge of mountains in the middle of the lakpilfis - called Diana's Peak, 2,200 feet high.— '4.lins„Valley has on the south-west side a bill elevated nearly 800 feet from the sea, called Eadife'r . -11 , with a heavy battery of guns upon it that-commands the south-west entrance to the valley - and anchorage. Col. MARK IVILKS, be 'longing' to the East India Company's Madras Alany, is •at present the Governor, who very obligingly invites. visitors to his house, and sends his„Eirglish hart-niche, drawn by six bullocks, to convey them up, When the summit of the Lad der-hill is attained, then the first three - miles of the road is perfectly barren, until reaching the Castle of High Knoll, when the interior. orms a • • • striking contrast to the sharp rugged cliffs : here in , &ell,. valley, and upon the peaked hills, are erectsitsmall neat plantation houses, having gar dens, and with some pasture land for_grazing cattle. All idea of growing corn is given up, for the rats, which shelter in the rocks, swarm so on the Island as to prevent its coming to perfec tion. ;After a drag ep the hill an hour: and a half, nearly fotlr miles, you come to the Lodge of the Governor's-Plantation House : by a shOrt drive through the grounds you reach his habita tion, which is well built ; toe walks are laid , out 'with _touch taste. The .view from here of the Atlantic Ocean is very extensive, even to discern the ships in the offing at the distance of 40 leagues, when the weather is clear. No vessel can sail from the harbour, lioniewald bound, without passing; in sight of the Governor's house. The climate is very fine and healthy, althongu wants rain sometimes for 12 months : they lia‘e no tlitindQr and lightning. Notwitbstaniiing the steep rocky cliffs present so discouragiag an up pearaneeto an observer, in . sailing round the east part of, the Island fronohe Cape of Good Hope, yet, after visiting the interior, you 'cannot but return to your ship much gratified. The Island appears to have been forced upwards from the Anetta by a subterraneous fire : the abrupt ridges and chasms into which it is split seem to proye this orig,o ;: .,:ind the .efiects of volcanic aivalgatna tion lire are visibie front the summits otrot%!ite_ hills. The inhabitants are supplied with. p • sions trout tke Company's stoi es when they re quire it, and sometimes get a supply by sentlni a vessel to the Cape of Good Hope. They sell weir poultry, fisii,'ami.pigs at an exorbitant price, but hate: little else t l ti:tictilsi,ap;o:tgshee ouifi.,:eirixutciopcstlets:le.egse refreshments,t t a t bles and o they get ut the a COMp iy"s ;:hipi. Snips touching here are sup plied l with excel eat water. T. B. liaj.-Cca,
