sury expressly as prize, till the event of the dis pute between Ihe,Grand Army and the Army of the Deccan was known. Why they refused to apply for this money is unaccountable; they were furnished with the dates when it was received, and with a copy of the order of the Governor-General, directing its payment. With reference to the value of this booty the English Gant:man has put it at 700,0001., and re jects with apparent disdain the idea that it should amount to five millions. We do not pretend to dispute the accuracy of the statement. We will be content with merely saying, that judging by the returns which are even now before us, the value must greatly exceed the 700,0001., although perhaps it may fall short of five millions. But this dispute, as to the value of the booty, is only another proof of the absolute necessity of per mitting the Law Agents of the Army of the Deccan to inspect all the papers now the possession of the Trustees relative to this Prize. The Army believe it to be much more, three millions at least, and were not likely a t any time, still less after the vexatious delays to which they have beets subjected, to be satis- Cli'd with the mere assertion of time Trustees, that their claims are reduced to less than a third of what they had good ground to believe them to be. In confirmation thereof, we beg leave humbly to submit to the notice of the Trustees the follow ing short statement, obtained by chance on turn ing over the pages of the CiaiMs of the Army of the Deccan, part first, Poonah. It is an extract of a letter from Captain BRIGGS to Sir 'Thomas litseor. Ile says— " I have been employed, with the aid of my brother and Mr. Barris, in packing it (the treasure) properly in bags, and num bering them .for the last three days and have this day finished : it it all gold and jewel:, and nearly fill: a tumbrill. The whole is estimated at half a million sterling." So much for the value of the booty. The jewels sPokett of in the article in question were taken and are claimed, and form a large part of the prize. On the subject of the buildings, it is pro- Per to say, that the claim for them has been abandoned. It was never set up as against the Crown, but only as against the East India Com- PanY) who had pulled down and sold the mate rials of some, and adopted others as offices, wherein the public business is now carried on.— It Was considered that as the Company, on the 'determination of their chartered rights, would clair n compensati on i n respect o f th ese b u ildi ngs from the public, the Captors were entitled to the value of them. or We com e now to the most extraordinary part of this • case ' a Part which renders the conduct r t l e Truste es intelligible, and assigns a reason I° hat which heretofore appeare d to b e the re of of whim and carice orperhaps of offended pride. W e p , p mean the attempt to nominate CHARLES ARBUTHNOT and Mr. ARCIIIBALD (It kPaeLL, Agents, t ae joint Prize with Majors ~ 00 ,E) and CADELL. It is necessary here to in form our readers, that the reward assigned by Act Parliament to the Prize Agents for their la bour and trouble in business connected with e4PtilfeS is five per cent. upon the proceeds and estimating the value of the booty in . this case, even at the sum of 700,0001., th e share of Mr. C. ARBUTHNOT, the son of the Truste e of that name, would amount to 8,7501., atilt, estimating the value of the booty at its o re pr o b a b le amount, near five millions, some idea may be entertained of the strong amitiety ARBUTHNOT must feel to place his son within t he rea c h of so lucrative a post. Major Woon uost properly resisted a n om i na ti on w hi c h inter te- red s o unceremoniously with the rights vested i h irn and his friend Major CADELL, as the e 3 , l ze Age n t s o f the Army—rights, be it observ . indef eas ib le even by the Crown itself', and whic h, therefore, it never could be supposed it ; 4 1 :the i n t ent i on of the KING to grant away.— Foie Part o f t h e warrant under which this ap ,. Q trnent is pretended to be justified is as oll ows end fur t h e better and more speedily and effectually reco- the said booty, or the proceeds or value thereof, we do tin one authorise and empower our said Trustees to appoint any or on .P r r 3 on or persons under them, to act in their names .7o: °chair in relatiori thereto, or to carry on any :rest or 01 4 : )"' eed "ig, under the authority, and by Me direction of 0ce4:141.

As to th e yout h o f w agents ; it is nothing to the pur- pose here, although, in the absence of other pore substantial objections, it would form sufficient ground for protest and reprehension. The comparisen between this young Gentleman and Mr. PITT is, to say the least of it, most unhappy ; but we refrain from further observation on a point - which could never pro duce conviction as to Mr. ARBUTHNOT'S fitness for the office, in any mind, and is therefore not worthy of notice. But giving both these new agents credit for even more abilities than ever fell to mortal man before, they were obviously unable to discharge the duties of the office of General Prize Agents—they could know nothing of the facts of the case—they could form no judgment as to who were and who were not entitled to share, or to what ex tent booty was captured. On the other hand, was Major IVoon a person totally twin.' formed of the extent of the claims. Did he derive his information by recital from the Captors? No! He was one of the Captors himself; he was present throughout the whole of the campaign in which the booty was aquircd, and during all that time acted as Military .Secre tary of the Commander-in-Chiel. lie was there fore eminently qualified for the office, the re spect of his Commander, and the affection of his comrades had chosen him to fill. We trust we have now fully explained to the country the facts of this oppressive case. Our sole object has been to repel slander, and to save from public odium those Gentlemen who have used their best exertions to forward the interests of the Army of the Deccan, in which they would have succeeded, unless thwarted and prevented by the Trustees. It is some consolation, how ever, to them, that their immediate employers are satisfied it!) their conduct, and that they are now in possession of the thanks of the whole Army for their exertions in their behalf. Covered with a shield like this, and conscious of their own integrity, they have nothing to fear from misrepresentations and calumnies, however exalted the quarter from which they come. Sa tisfied with this, they must now leave the fixed and immutable principles of equity to work their own end, relying that the public voice will sooner or later prevail, and call for that justice that undue private influence alone perverted and restrained. The wrongsof the Army of the Deccan of that illustrious band, whose labours and fa tigues have done so much for their country, and added so many !nitre's to its glory and renown, are now before the country. The beneficial re suits that sprung from their victories in the East, the strength of the British Empire there acquired by their exertions, and the vast addition of terri tory and revenue obtained for the East India Company by them, are felt and acknowledged on all hands ; but few were aware of the unworthy reward their services had met with, the gross and cruel injustice of which its members have been the patient and unrepining victims. For any thing they know to the contrary, their prize-money never will be distributed. The Trustees have departed from the conduct their office pointed out to them, and chose to erect themselves into Judges, to decide between the Army and their adversaries ; they have chosen to abandon the office the warrant of the KING con ferred upon them, and in defiance of his authority to usurp a jurisdiction that warrant expressly re serves to his MAJESTY in Council. In conclusion, we ask, how can they reconcile this conduct with their actual duties ?—how they can presume, to appear before the KING, the munificent and gra cious Donor of the gift they have dared to with. hold—that SOVEREIGN whose bounty they have arrested, and attempted to pervert, and whose justice and wisdom would give t 6 his faithful soldiers the spoils they had so gloriously earned. Letters recvived yesterdny from Paris disclose another of those atrocious proceedings on the part of Austria, which that Government appears to resort to periodically as the best mode of declaring its true principles, and supporting its estimation with foreign countries. General Devereux, of the Colombian service, but a British subject, while travelling in Italy for the restoration of his health, was arrested at Rovigo on the 13th ult., by order of the Austrian Government, and sent to Venice, where he has since been confined a close prisoner- It is not usual, of course, for arbitrary Govern ments to give an explanation of those actions it rosy suit them to resort to, but from some of the persons employed to arrest Genera/ Devereux, it was understood that it was done " on account of bis political opinions, and for having made war in South America on the side of Bolivar." The General, it ap pears, had no previous notice before entering. the Austrian territory of the danger in which he was placed. the papers w ere seized, together with some property he had about him, and these were to be sent to Milan to be examined in the Emperor's men presence. A Gentleman who came over from Trieste on. hearing of General Devereux's arrest, in order to inquire into the cause, and to set about means for bis liberation, was refused permission to see him. His place of confinement was the s t a te , prison the du ca l pa l ace at Venice. T o add to tne treachery _of the Austrian Government, it is pretended by some of their emissaries, that o r d ers h a d b een to all their ambassadors not to' si gn any passport to isstiet! permit Gene . r? 1 Devereux to enter the Austrian territory ; hunt is certain that no previ ous i ntimation was given to him of t he danger in which he was placed.

The rooms were visited by a very numerous assemblage of spectators, some of high rank, and many elegant and beautiful ladies.

The several Stakes, it will be observed, arc numerously subscribed, and nine horses are named for the Cup of 100 gs. on the last day. The training stables, at Littleton, are already more numerously occupied than have been known for many years, and the number will he considerably augmented in the course of the ensuing week ; most excellent sport, therefore, is oonhdently anticipated.— Balls, ordinaries, Eic., will take place as us ua l, an d th e Theatre will also be opened. STOCKBRIDGE Ilacts, which took place on Houghton Down, last Thursday, were not so numerously attended as on former similar occasions, which may be attributed, in a great degree, to some misunderstanding between the gentlemen inte rested in the Borough, in consequence of which Lord Grosvenor did not come forward with the 50/. Members Plate. This defi. ciency, however, we are informed, will be supplied hereafter, and next year the races will be honoured with such patronage as will ensure complete success. The Sweepstakes of fifty sovereigns each, h. ft. for which there were six subscribers, was won by Mr. Shard's Hougoumont, Bst. 71b., beating Mr. ll'adham Wyndham's c. by Granicus, Bst. 41h. and Lord Grosvenor's Achilles, Bst. , /lb.--The Coronation Stakes, of 25 sovs. each, h. ft. was won by Lord Palmerston's Grey-leg, beating Lord Grosvenor's Achilles, Bst. 71b. each.

Mr. J. Stevens's hr. g. Little Devil, gained the Hunters' Stakes of sgs each, for horses not thorough bred, bona fide the property of a subscriber at the time of naming, two mile heats—gentlemen riders—by beating Mr. W. Ladbroke's br. g. Mr. Stout, and Lord Grantley's Spangle. The Race Ball, at the White Hart Inn, was well attended on Thursday. STAFF° RACES.—None of the Stakes are filled ; the time for naming has been therefore extended to the Ist of August, when the respective Stakes will finally close. No alteration will be made in the conditions, except that 20 guineas, instead of ten, will be added to the Gold Cup. It is expected that DORCHESTER RACES will be renewed this season with unexampled energy, the subscriptions being at present very liberal ; and, from the excellent sport afforded last year, it is hoped that a great number of horses will be entered early. They will probably take place in September. PIGEON . MATCH FOR 600 Sov.—FrasT Dar. The above great Match, at 150 birds each, between Lord Kennedy and Capt. Ross, against Messrs.

The anniversary festival of the Masonic In stitution for clothing, educating, and appriitic ing the sons of deceased Freemasons, which takes place on IVednesda►y next, the lath lust. is likely to be most numerosly attended. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex presides, and the Marquis of HASTINGS has signified his intention of being present. The meeting is not confined solely to the Masonic Brethren, there fore any one desirous of supporting so excellent an Institution may attend. The NATIONAL INRTITUTION for educating 1,000 boys and 500 girls on the national system, celebrated its anniversary festival yesterday, at the London 'ravens, Bishops gate-street. Mr. Alderman Woos) was called to the Chair,-in th e absence of the Duke of SUSSEX, who had presided at a ecting of the Institution in the forenoon. The company was extremely respectable, but not very numerous. After the cloth was removed, Mr. Wilks sent round the superb siver flagon presented to him yesterday morning by the hands of his Royal Highness, the patron of the Institution, filled with wine, and exchanged compliments with all the company present. Vari- . ous toasts were then drank, and several gentlemen, particularly Mr. Wilke, addressed the assemblage on the benefits arising to society from general education, and the peculiar advantages and merits of this institution in promoting so important and valuable an object. The WESTMINSTER. HOSPITA L Annimsary WAS celebrated on Friday last, at the Thatched-house Tavern. The present building not having been, when originally constructed, intended tbr the purposes of such an institution, has now be come inadequate to the increasing demands for admission, and its site not being deemed eligible far its enlargement, a fund has been established for rebuilding it in a more convenent part of Westminster. In the list of donors to that fund (which now amounts to about 50001.) are the names of the Prince of Saxe Coburg for 1051. ; Duke of Northumberland, President, 575/. ; Earl Grosvenor, 100/. ; Earl of Eldon, 50/. ; Earl of Dartmouth, 1021. 10s. ; Madame Catelani, 310/. ; with many others. Field-Marshal MAcoosAr.n, one of BIJONA PAITE'S celebrated Generals, was yesterday at the Ilouse of Lords and attracted a good deal of attention, as well from seve ral Peers and Commoners, a► from the strangers below the Bar. The Marshal was introduced by Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, the Usher of the Black Rod ; and was accommodated with a station at the upper end of the House, within the railing that separates the Throne from the House, and where Members of the Commons are privileged to attend and hear their Lordships' debates. Amongst the Peers who conversed with Marshal Macdonald, during his extended stay at the House of Lords, was Lord Berceford. A Bill is now before Parliament for the better preservation of the peace-and good order in the Universities of England, by which the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor is autho ce-Chanccllor, may execute the rued to appoint constables within the precincts o f t h e U niversity. In the absence of the Chancellor or Vice-Chan ce ll or, any Pro powers Vice-(:hoafn thiscel l or„ Act.o r il Deputy another Vi clause it is enacted, that com mon prostitutes and night walkers shall be d eeme d i dle and disorderly persons within the meaning of the A ct of last Ses sion, and may be apprehended and dealt with ac cor di ngly.

H er remains were deposited in the family vault at Stone House Chapel, fol- 1 lowed b? General MINA and his personal Stan; and a nume roes assemblage of the friends of her family, absorbed in the deepest affliction at the early loss of one universally beloved by 1 all who knew her. Mrs. COOK, widow of Captain JAMES COOK, the celebrated but unfortunate circumnavigator, is said t o b e now still living at Clapham, Surrey, and has reached her ninetieth year, THE ARMY. CAVALTtI: REVIEW-There veil b- a grand Cavalry lte view at Hounslow, on Friday next, th?. 17th instant. Nine or ten regiments, or about 6,004) cavalry, arc expected to be on the ground. The Duke of YORIC will review them; but the pre sence of the KING it calculated upon. The Duke of Caw - BRIDGE and a brilliant attendance of staff-officers will also 1,. ; on the ground. The regiments yesterday moved up from Norwich and different parts of the country to temporary quar ters, till after the Review, at Hampton, Hampton-court, Houn. slow, Brentford, Hammersmith, Fulham, &c. Yesterday, the second battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guatcls, commanded by Colonel Cocker, marched from. the King's Mews, for the purpose of having a field-day in. Hyde Park ; where they performed a variety of movements with the utmost celerity, the light infantry skirmishing in the front. During these movements, the line fired ten rounds, and the light company 17 or 111 rounds, after which they returned to their barracks. A second detachment of the 17th Light Dragoons, (Lancers). under the command of Colonel Stanhope, marched yesterda7 from Dart ford, and arrived at the barracks in the Regent's Park, between twelve and one o'clock.

Surinam Papers of the 9.1 q . of M3y contain the following article :—" On the night of the I I th of April the Dutch ship William the First took fire, and after burning of}' her stern cables, fell on board the Dutch ship Betsey, which also took fine, and both were consumed to the water's edge.

Colburn eppeared at this Office, at the instance of the Parish Officers of St. George's, Hanover-square, to show why he should not relieve them from the burden of supporting his wife Lady Colburn. Sir James proved that the officers of that parish had no claim upon him, as it was in that of 31arylebone that he had gained a legal settlement. Our Readers will recollect that the Lady committed bigamy by marrying with a person of the name ok' Ventura, and therefore Sir John did not consider himself bound to support her. The Magistrate dismissed the case 'as being now entirely in the hands of the officers of Marylebone parish. On Wednesday last four deserters from the 24th Regiment, who had been placed in the town prison at Truro, made their escape, by forcing the fastening of the door. and then scaling the outer wall, from which they lit themselves down by tying their blankets together.

Three of the four who escaped were taken tht next day at St. Columb, and ..onducted to their former quarters.—Wornwall Gazette. ) _ _ Fute.—Yesterday morning a fire broke out at the house of Mr. ROWLEY, White -street, in the Borough, which totally destroyed the same, and damaged the adjoining buildings; but the speedy arrival of the engines prevented tis further progress.

It is a tale of olden times, called A Peep at the Pilgrims en 1636, a most interesting period, and it contains a faithful and accurate delineation of characters and opinions, of which we have in general but a very confused notion. The Pilgrims are those worthy and rigid sectaries who passed over to New England, to enjoy beneath a stern climate and amidst the savage sons of the desert, that liberty of conscience they were refused at home. We there see these men whom history presents in such a repulsive form, cheerful, mild and benevolent, and exercising all the endearing charities of social life. They are finely contrasted with the savage ferocity and energy of the aborigines of the country, and the views of the Indian scenery, and the sportive frolics of some of the youoger actors diffuse a pleasing colouring over the whole. Whoever reads the book will not regret the few hours it has occupied. ACCIDENT AT TIIE SURREY THEArnr.---Last evening, during the first act of Jacky), a serious accident betel Mona.
