EXTRACT OF A LATTER FROM A GENTLEMAN AT YARMOUTH, LATELY RETURNED FROM HAM. BURGH, TO 1115 FRIEND IN LONDON. 66 - left Hamhurgh about a fortnight ago...— Whilst I was in that once famous, but now ruined city, I several times obsetaed.a poor old man pass my,door, apparently in distress---act he had a venerable and respetiable appearance, I one day called him into my lodgings, and gave him some refreshment—inquiring how he came to be in such .a miserable state, he told me his melancholy story in nearly the words following : I am a Hanoverian and a citizen of Zell—before the accursed French took possession of my Country, I was as happy as man could be. I wati'a master carpenter—had a good wife, two sons, and a daughter, all good and dutiful ; my eldest son was a butcher in good trade; my youngest worked with me in my business, and my'd:aughter assisted her mother in the manage. ment of our family. I had a good house well fur. tiished, and by care and industry we lived in a very comfortable Manner, and had the good will of all our rieighbours.—Oh t sad, reverse, cried the oil than in a flood of tears, the ruffian v that tooklabi. session of our town were a ferociotis- banditti of French, Italian, and Duicia, a s,ldiera, many of them, felons and murderers, pardoned on condition of entering into the army—the (liters even greater. savages than the common men,- They first called upon us for a heavy contribution, then a second, third, fourth, and fifth, till being no' longer able to pay their exorbitant demands, they sent seven sot. (Errs into my house to live at free quitters---I sue plied them with meat and drink a.•long as I cauld procure it upon credit, or by any other meant, tiii being no longer able to supply their lukurious tablt, they sent my furniture, linen, and even our wearing apparel to their barracks, and soli rheni to Their fellow.soldiers, for what they could get,. myself and family.only being supplied, and that vel acan. tily, from the leavings of their table. " My daughter was forcibly carne:) .a French Lieutenant, and my son sent , to %tank on the boats at Ostend, My son, the hatcher, after having been plundered of all his property, and his Catnily turned into . the streets, 'was pressed fora sol dier, and sent, among some hundreds more, to join the French Army in - Flanders. I made a complaint to the Commanding Officer against the villain whet carried away my daughter—the Commander laugh. ed me in the face, and his attendants kicked me clown 'stairs, threatening me with a dungeon if I made any further complaint. On my return home the soldiers haying heard of the complaint I had made, turned me out of doors, and drove my poor wife after me—the weather being very inclement, end having scarcely chillies tO'cover her, she WAS seized with a fever, which added to a broken heart, put an end to her wretched existence.-a-After having f ar a few days existed on what softie a my neigh bours who were nut quite e AiitMeci, could spare me, I left my native city, and by travelling in the dark four nights, I. escaped out of , the. Hanoverian Eledorate, and-have come to this city in hope of getting employed in my trade.. '' I asked him why the Hanoverian' did • not defend themselves against the French. He replied— ah Sir ! the French had corrupted before they con_ quer ect--*Agents were employed to seduce the work. men, particularly the shoe-makers, a very numerous body, who had always been great clamourers about o a rty--,theae Agents promised them a share of the public plunder t hot instead of sufrering them to par. take of it, as soar as - they had got possession of'ol.lf Country; they demanded of the shoe.makers in our city to make ,7000 pair of shoes per week, which theyare obliged to supply, though they cannot per. Towns Towns the task without working nineteen hours out of twenty':.' or, every weekday, and fifteen hours on a Sundity—a guard is constantly set over them, and if th.,:y find or think any man idle, he is most unmercifully beat, and frequently wounded with the bayonet—they have 'no pity from their fellow. citizens, and the French despise them, saying they will not trust them as soldiers, having been ttaitura to their own country they will he false to them. The tailors, weavers, and hatters, are also in a state of requisition, with all the other tradesmen who can serve their tyrannical conquerors ; those who cannot be usefui in their trades are pressed for sal. diets. The bargemen and watertnen are in a worse condition than galley slaves." • The Ind/4.0u, CApt. INGHR AM, is airi'Ved at.l Cowes, from New-York.

Fot several days past no new caie.of the once. alarming fever has made its appearance ; and, from the very keen frosty weather which we had yester. d ay , we are led to hope that the disease is now nearly extinguished.

The following is an Extra of the 'munelions recommended by His • Royal Highness the Com. Inander in Chief for the use of the Volunteer Infan. try of the United Kingdom " The nature of the service will require every individual being in the lightest state of equipment. Besides his arms anti ammunition, each Volunteer will only carry one shirt, one pair of shoei and - ,!kings, and combs and brushes. It will be essen. that, if possible, each man shall start with three bread, " In the Infantry one horse for each effeetiVe Officer will he allowed, including Staff, and one ex. tra for each Field Officer, one per Company for Offi cers' portmanteaus; one light two-wheel cart will b e owed for each Company, but no other carriage ; in the light cart tin kettles sufficient for the Corn. p att y must be carried. it would be eligible that each Volunteer should bring a light blanket or great coat; each Company should also have a proportion of bill-hooks, one for every five men, fur hutting, as indispensable a canteen for ward/ is also essen. tial, or in its place a strong bottle, slung over the shoulder, and a linen haversack for. the necessaries and bread ; a small- portmanteau will contain the b aggage of each Officer. Ir is evident that the ne. ceasity of the service requires this light state of equipment, to which every individual will with cheerfulness accede."; • BOW-Silt I IT. VO/tlrpep' a, tr. ecterday two Gentlemen, bringing up to the Law, were charged by the' CoMinander of the Si. Pancras Vo. Ammer Corps, that they .being inrolled in tiler said Corps, have negleaed and refused to pay certain fines, incurred.under the rules and regulations of the said Corps. Colonel Le .Jetywa, the Commander of the Corps, attended to substantiate the charges. The circumstances attending the case were that . the Defendants had signed the muster, roll of the Corps before their services, were acceptul by Go. vernment ; they offered to find theinselves in cloath. and to pay their share of every expence attend.. ing the Corps, if Government would find them 'with arms ; and to he subjeft to' such rules and regubt. lions as should be agreed upon by a majority of the Cores. . A short time' after, _Government having signified their opinion that the Volnotcers exceeded the numbers they wished for, the Defendants never attended any meeting of the. Corps. The Secretary being called upon to prove that the nibies signed were of the Defendants' hand.writing, he acknowledged he could not. swear that, nor could COIOIICI La jNU N ; upon which Mr. CO MT.. who attended fur the Defendants, contended, they Were. entitled .to an acquittal, a • nel they were accordingly . found—No Gallo , . • • Mr. co NIT then stated, that a short time after the Defendants had given in their names to the St. Pancras Corps, they:learned that the Law Associa. lion was forming,. and they wished to join that, it being more congenial to their habits. Mr. CONS'''. added, he thought if conciliatory measures were used instead of coercive, it would better answer the purpose of enforcing the regulationcof the Corps. which the Colonel replied, that it would be int. possible for hi to QOCIIO7 with the, instructions .he had received, fteep the Corps in.
