And this Meeting do unanimously and strongly recommend the forming of such Volunteer Corps in every place where it is pusJi Ole to be done, being convinced that should this mode be generally adoptul through the K.ing:torn, it would be the most likely InC:!US to deter the limn:, from the attempt of invasion, or should Invasion take place, 'it would be by far the must efficacious mode at' reviling the Enemy. resolved, That if on failure of the object of the foregoing ecommaidation,it should become necessary to put the above inc..titioned et in full execution, it will be the duty of the Deputy Lieutenants in their respeelive Subdivisions, as also of the Magistrates and Nobility and Gentry, in their own immediate and respective Neighbouthoods, to attend at the times and places appointed for training and exercise, and to )ive every assistance in their power for the due execution of the Att.

OUR Deal Letter gives us an account of an at. tack made onWednesday night last by the Immortaliti Frigate and the Terror Bomb, on the Lower Town of Boulogne, by which a great part of the Town was destroyed. A detachment of Seamen and Royal Marines at the same time landed, set fire to several houses, and destroyed the Pile Drivers in the Harbour. If such annoyance can be given to the Enemy's Harbours by a mere handful of men, what might we not expeft from a respedable Force, judi. ciously dire/fed ? Tuts morning the Dublin Mail of the I 9th ar. rived. The accounts which it brings assure us of the continuance of tranquillity, though many circumstances lead to the conclusion that some further risings are in agitation. A person of some distindion in the North of Ireland, has been die. covered issuing Proclamations, the tendency of which is not at all equivocal. We forbear at pre. sent mentioning his name. We have foreborne, till we should have made several inquiries upon the subjea, to make any ob servations on the late changes which have taken place in the Public Offices, but we now feel it ne, cessary to say a few words upon this point, and par. ticulatly of the retirement of Lord PILHAM from the office of Secretary of State. It is well-known that there has subsisted for some time past no very great degree of cordiality between him and some of the Members of the Administration, and particularly that a difference of opinion has prevailed upon some leading points, and among others upon the manage ment of affairs in Ireland. It is also known that upon this point this difference of opinion liad led to so much unpleasant correspondence and disagreement, that Lord HARR W IC4E had desired more than once his recall from that Country. The sudden and un. expeaed breaking out of the Insurreaion was not likely to reconcile former differences, or t o give Lord PELHAM a higher idea of the vigilance, cat. don, or foresight of the Irish Government than he had before entertained. Those who know Mr. ADDING:I'ON muse know that his °Nat is upon such occasions to decide nothing, hot to compramhe every thing. Who is right, or who is wrong is not the consideration of his mind, but how the difference can be reconcilei. It was naturally therefore thought better to give Lord PeLHAsa the Chancellorship of the Duehy of Lancaster, than to force him to state his case; and on the other hand it was probably thought as well to make Mr. YORKE Secretary of State, and to appease Lord Ildsehw text, as to suffer him to return and tell his story to the Public. Besides, since the breaking out of the Insurrection, the point of Honour would naturally induce Mtn at least for a time not to wish to quit the office of Lord Lieutenant. These observations furnish a due to the changes of which we have spoken. But, besides these considerations, it was absolutely necessary that some opening should be made for Mr. Bence r e, who, yielding to Mr. APDINGTONIIi wishes, had resigned the lucrative ()liked Treasurer of the Navy, for the purpose of ohtainiug to t h e Government the assistance of Mr. TIER way, and had remained for above two months without any salary at all derived from the Public. Report how. ever says that Mr. Ants T NOTON in the first instance dieted !he office of Secretary at War to Mr. STE EL B o RE a reward for his invariable attachment to his Government. We have no difficulty in saying that Mr. Silt et..a would have filled the office with great advantage to the public. With respect to Mr. Thaacce, we think it unfortunate that some Office has not been found more suited to his habits, his manners, and his talents, for tittle ate many in which he might render himself useful ; but we con. fess from what we have seen and heard of Mr. BR AGGE ) we believe it wait; difficult to find any Office for which he was less calculated than that i n which he has been placed. The retirement of Mr. Lewis under Owe circumstances excites oq r regret rather that) our surprize. He is a Gentleman we believe very conversant with the business of his Mpartment, and he would have been a most useful Absistant to Mr. Banc:ago We cannot quit this itollj:t without doing justice to Mr. 'Volt if.a. We chink he has shewn himself very well qualified for the 01Sce he has just quitted. lie has brought for ward Ilse arduousb%lness which has fallen upon !kiln with a aunly firmness and an ability whirl► d:• him great credit, and though we could have wished that some of the measures for the defence of the Country h a d been a dopted earlier, this delay is not imputa. ble to him. We are sure that the circumstance of Mr. Yoaxs having quitted the Office of Secretary at War, and of Mr: Bit AGGI having succeeded him, will not be ascribed to the unfitness of the former, or the fitness of the latter for discharging the duties of that Office. As to the Admiralty, we have lately heard no. thing decisive, and after so many various intentions respetting arrangements at this Office, we shalt not he surprized at any which may take place. If ever decision was necessary it has been in all that related to the settlement of this important Office; but the relutiance to decide, and the love of compromise p re vailed. Without now discussing the question of Right or Wrong, we say this is a public Depart. ment in which if harmony and zeal do not prevail, the service of the Country must suffer-4 exists, those who create it or those who feel it should be dismissed, for if not, public servants will be employed in detelaing the omissions of duty in others rather than in performing their own, and the public service will be sacrificed to private resent. malt. It is most probable, from what we bear, that Lord St. VINCENT will not remain long, but perhaps it is thought there would be some awkward. ness in his retiring precisely at the present moment. On Saturday morning hia Royal Highness the Dolce of YORK arrived at Windsor ; on entering the Castle his carriage struck a brewer's dray, very improperly placed in the street, and it much damaged the carriage, but fortunately without hurting his Royal Highness. After the usual interview on Military affairs with the DUKE of YORK, HIS MA JESTY rode out, and about two o'clock returned and held a Cabinet Council in the Queen's Lodge, which was attended by his Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK, the Duke of PORTLAND, Lords WALsING• HAM, CASTLEREAGH, HENLEY and several others, and by Mr. FAwKFNER. About tour o'clock the DUKE of YORK returned to Oatlands. HER MAJESTY and the Paincissim rode out in the course of the day, but were prevented walking on the Terrace by the rain in the evening.

Yesterday morning the Staffordshire Militia had a grand Field Day in the Little ?wk. A Spanish Messenger arrived yeitcrday with dispatches for the Spanish Ambassador, said to be of considerable importance. The concord, Bi4l.T.rtit, spoke by the Cato, which is arrived at Greenock, told the Captain that they had been spoken by an English brig, who in. formed them, that the small island of Si'. Pierre had been taken, and French property found in it, (so they reported) to a considerable amount. After Mr. 13114G9R'S re.eletiion for Bristol last Tuesday there was a grand dinner, after which the health of the Right - Hon. WM. PITT was given by the Chairman, and received with a burst of en. thusiasm which lasted very nearly for three quarters of an hour ! To.morrow the Special Commission will be open. e 4 in Dublin for the Trial of the Insurgents and Rebels now in custody. Sir MATTHEW WHITI RIDLRY arrived at New. castle on Thursday, to take the Command of the Newcastle Loyal Armed Association, which con. silts of upwards of 1,200 men.

YESTERDAY the Light Horse Volunteers, coca. manded by Col. HERRI ES, had a grai'd Field.day in Hyde Park, previous to their being reviewed by Lord HARR I NGTON ro.morrow on' illthied )11 Coon. mon. They made a very fine appearance, and went: through their evolutions with great precision; but they were ordered by the Colonel not to exceed a trial in their change of position ; and the dust was so excessive, that they were frequently entirely covered by it. This is the oldest Volunteer Corp , in the king. dom, it being now three and twenty years since they received Commissions from the KING, and 4 Royal . Standard for their services in the *Riots of *760. Their Troops, which were of 60, have lately been augmented to 80. and they consist at present of 720 Noblemen and Gentlemen, besides Oficers, inoluding three troops of dismounted cavalry, who carry rifles and broad s words. TheY ate in a high state of discipline; and it must be pleasing to those now entering into Volunteer Corps to know, that many Gentlemen were in t he ranks yesterday, who only joined the Corps a fort• night ago. The ground was kept by the Surrey Yeomanry. ST. JAMES': I'OLUATEERS. THE above respedable Corps had a general inu ' tel yesterday, and was inspected by their C o mmandant , the Right Hon.

F rom this perilous situation Lord AMHERvE was providentially scued without material injury, and , remnant ed on another charger ; the former having broken one of his knees by the fall. The Cotps was then impeded, and received the approbad Lion of his Lordship. About five o'clock they marched down St. jarnees,street into Pall-1%4311J en- tering St. Jatots's-squase at the South-east anger', anti taking a circuitous route by the maniion late Duke of LE tua, marched, in open di, isinns up to the Colonel's house, where the Regiment formed. They were then presented with their Colours by the Rev. A. ANDREWS, Rettor of St. James's ; wiles in a very handsome and impressive manner, address ed them an their soldier.like appearance, Lord AMHE RST replied, and thanked the Redor for the honour done the Corps. At six o'clock they retie: ed to the Drill.ground, in Dufour,place x . wit" drums beating and colours flying. 1 The Patxc t of WALas set off in his ba touctle from Carlton House at five o'clock, on Sunday even ing _for Brighton , accompanied by Cu).
