It reminds us somewhat of the ordeal through which Gulliver - is described as havirig passed, in the presenCe of-their Majesties of Brobdignag or Lilliput. There can be no doubt as to the authenticity . of the narrative, which was drawn up by Serjeant CA:NIPBEI:L, at the request of an Officer of his Regiment : " In the month of August, 1815, I was ordered to prOceed with private John Fraser, And Piper Kenneth Macquay, to the Palais d'Elisee, in Paris, then the residence of the Emperor of Russia,' when we were joined by Serjeant Macgregor, private Munro, and piper Mackenzie, of the 42d regiment ; Serjeant Grant, piper Logan, and piper Cameron, of the 92d. regiment. AbOut half an hour after ou r arr i va l at the Palace, Lord Cath cart sent a valet to conduct us to the grand hail, where we met his Lordship, whom I immediately recognised—he was pleased to order me to take charge of thq party, while he went to the gmperor to acquaint him of our arrival, and in about ten mi nutes after the Emperor entered the hall, accompanied by his two brothers, Prince Blucher., Count Platoff, and several other distinguished personages. The Emperor had a very minute inspection of us, and his curiosity,led him %I point upon ,me (as being the most robust of tho se w h o accompan i e d me) to step to thefront. I was surrounded by the astonished Nobility, and the Emperor comir.enced his inspection and quest i ons , v i z.:— " 1. Examined my 'appointments, drew my sword, in quired if I could 'perform any exercise of that weapon, which I told him I could. not ; and, at. the same time, Lord Cathcart made a remark ths.t, it was a deficiency inAlie British army which he never took into conSideration before.. "2. Examined my hose quarters, and pinched my . skin, thinking I wor e something under my :kilt, And had the, curiosity of lifting my kilt up, so that he might mot be deceived. The questions were—How long I was in the army ? How .many actions I was in ? If I was present at the actions of the 16th, 17th, and 18th ? How many Officers and men the regi ment lOst,' on 16th, 17th, and 18th of June ? Whether I was in Egypt ? If we wore the kilt in winter, or if I did not feel cold in that season ? If I was rilr.ried ? if my parents *ere alive ? &c. "'The Emperor then ordered lord Cathcart to make me put John Fraser .through the manual and platoon exercise, at which perfcrmance he was highly pleased. lie then ordered the pipers to play up, and Lord Cathcart desired them to play the Highlanil tune called " Cogna 2 4-Sith," %Var or Peace, which he explained to the Emperor, who seemed • highly de- lighted with the music. After . the Emperor had done with me,. the veteran Count Platoff came up to ine, took Inc by the hand; and told' 'me in broken English that I was a good and bravezildier,. as all my countrymen were. He their pressed my Iluna.to his breast, and gave me his, to press to mine.. After all was over, I was ordered to take the to Eord CatlicAri 'quarters, where we hnd a rebeshinettt, _.,,nrlt!, 7 :eceived a piece of ' money each from his .Lords'elp, and aide approbation for our appearance, &e.

JOHN HENRY CAPPER, Superintendent of Conviets .r....,...r STEAM ENGINES. A Bill for giving greater facility in the Prosecution and Abate ment of NUISANCES arising from FURNACES used in the working of STEAM ENGINES. 'Whereas great inconvenience has •arisen, and a great de gree of injury has been and is now sustained by his Majesty's subjects, in various parts of the United Empire, from the im proper construction as well as from the negligent use of fur naces employed in the working of engines by steam : And whereas if has been ascertained, that the greater proportion if not the whole of the smoke issuing from such furnaces, may, by a proper construction and due attention, be consumed, so as to prevent the nuisance thereby arising : And whereas by law, every such nuisance, being of a public nature, is abateable as such by indictment ; but the' expense attending the prosecution thereof, have deterred parties suffering thereby from seeking the remedy given by law ; Be it therefore enacted by the King's Most Excellent Ma jesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this, present Parliament as sembled, and by the authority of the same, Th at it shall and may be lawful for the Court before which any such 'indictment shall be tried, in addition to the judgment pronounced by the said Court in case of conviction, to award such costs as shall be deemed proper and reasoriable to the prosecutor or prosecutors, to.be paid by the party or parties so convicted as aforesaid. And be it further enacted, That if it shall appear to the Court before which any such indictment shall be tried, that the grievance may be remedied by altering ,the constructi o n o f t h e furnace, or any other part of the premises of the party or par ties so indicted, it shall be lawful to the Court, witho u t th e consent of the prosecutor, to m a k e such order touching the pre mises, as shall be by - the said Court thought expedient for pre venting the nuisance in future, before passing final sentence upon the defendant or defeadants so convicted. THE NEW STAMP ACT. The Bill for explaining and' amending certain Acts relating to Stamp Duties, and for extending rehef in cases of -spoiled stamps, as amended by the Committee of the House of Corn .

His promotion became rapiditi .con S e. quence of his abilities, and the Sovereign raised him to the rank of Major-General, a -post :which he still enjoys.. He has been in. many battles, and lost a hand in the memorable :pursuit- of the .French from Moscow. Peace follow-ing soon after, left him at liberty to digest• the plan of a revolution_ in- his ., own country. He bad two reasons for so •doliii-r— -the first, a desire of revenging the wrOngs done to his ancestors; and the second, a desire natural to every patriot, of 'freeing his countrymen from the cruel bondage - of the Turks. •To this effect frequent communications :wpm made to the principal Greeks, and meetings were held in secresy—their result is now crpepx to the public, who, I doubt not, wish them all ihe.suc- Cess that so laudable a design merits. The Grecian history furnishes us with memo rable instances of states bending under-the yOke of foreign or domestic oppression, yet freed and" restored to their former liberty and dignity by the courage and virtue of some eminent citiien. But if we reflect upon the means by which these events were so successful, we shall always :fi n d that there yet rema in e d i n the people a fund of .public virtue sufficient -to support their chiefs iu such arduous c•nterpriies. : . The spirit of a free people may be-cramped and pressed down by external violence, but.ean never be totally extinguished.: oppression only increase its elastic force;and when 'roused to action by some daring leader, it will breaksout, like ignited gunpowder, to blaze the fiercer:., Let us hope that virtue still reigns amogst the modern Greeks, and- that they may support their leaders, not desert them, like the Neapoli tans, whose name is now devoted to infamy.

CORN-EXCHANGE,APRIL 25.--A large quanti 4 .3r of Wheat remained over from Monday, for which there Was no demand this morning; prices nominal. The inferior qualities of Barley are unsgleable, but prime samples went off at Mon day's prices. The Pat trade is heavy, at an abatement of Is. per. quarter. Beans - are cheaper. In Peas and other sztticl . Al no alteration: • SOUTHWARK, APRIL 23.—Our trade is dull, and Flops of inferior, quality are offering at reduced prices ; good ones are scarce and support their prices tolerably well. The preference is very much given to old Hops—of these there were two or three large sales made last week.

Sinceihat period, several 'statements have been published, relative to the sums received by Mr. GAAY, the distributor for this district, .'which it is only justice to that individual briefly to notice. From a statement made in,the House of Com mons, it appears, that the per centage received by Mt. GRAY, amounts to about 60001. per 'a4- num ; and it has been assumed, 'that this suMis subject fo '44 very triflinff deductions ;" and that the per centage upon the duty 'payable for ad vertNements, which passes through Mr.• G.'s• hands, is to be added. to the above sum. Now, both these assumptions are iticbrrect ;. the tiound age upon the duty for . advertiseinents is'. com prised in the' poundage. on Stamps; and the " very trifling deductions". are an allowance of two per , cent.; or, one-half, to the sub , diStributors in the district; and the salaries of the clerics iu the head'office at . York. The remittances to . London take :place about once a fortnight, and by .bills' at a -short '.data. . The dietribittor has alSo 'to be ansWerable for the; wliole amdcint of Stamps sold in LI T diStrict, which amounts, to about 3 50$000/...per "annizni; . and has . to . make good all losges bb fraud, 'Or', the failure of any of his sub-distributors. It should aliabe remarked, that prior to 17.08,the poundage upon• Stamps was 5- per tent.: and'that,; in comiequetrce of - thti.sug- F - 45 -e,..ifibus" a Mr;:`Oltay 'at .that. periodt!'an inves . , r t:gatiori.uw as set. bo -roof,' hhd .a' general rtlductian took -place from' 5' ,. t0 . 4 , per . cent., wilicl i..; 4,04 pate.—; I. eeds- Laiie44,4lcer,) , . . •
