Country; we this day commence the publication thereof; which we would not have done before' its conchiSiOn, hart it not already appeared in a Morning Paper---And therefore must be innocuous on our part. CoURT MA RTIA L.-This morning the-Members of the Court again assembled at 10 o'clock, to hear the further evidence adduced on behalf of Colonel Quintin. At 12 o'clock the examination of Scrjcants Cook, Ford, and Jones had been given respecting the situation in which Colonel Quintin was with the Regiment whilst ascending the Hill at Toulouse on the 10th April last ; and also with reference to attention paid Captaio Fitzclareuee on that morning, when he bad received a wound by a shot from the French ca7alry in his right thigh. On the latter point Serjeant Jones was interrogated for some time by Colonel Pahner, as the position of Capt. Fitzclarence, whether he was facing his regiment or fronting the enemy When he received his wound. General Vivian was called and examined, in respect to Colonel Quintin's merit as an Officer, and to his having, on or about the 18th of February last, received a Cavalry General Order, respecting some irregu larities of some of the Corps under his command. General Vivian stated to the CoUrt, the, meritori ous services of Col. Quintin, in Sir John Moore's Expediton and further said, that he had hal fre quent opportunities of seeing Col. Quintin with his regi;:tent, both in quarters and in the field, and, as an Officer and a Gentleman, he had the highest opinion of bins. Upon this, .Colonel • Palmer, .begged ?care to refer to the character given him by Gets. Cartwright yesterday ; and said, that though he had then waved, bythe - advice of the Court, Certain questions he meant to , have pit to ,the General, be l ,mest now beg leai'e riot to give up that point, as he , wished to know frail) General Vivian, the chardeter of 'Colonel Quintin, ,at snore rect-mt periods than in tile. expedition of - `Sir Sohn Moore : ire ,(Colonel Palmer) ob•. served, that be was the first who would stand forward and give Colonel:Q.l6min the most ho nourable character as an Officer at that period. What he now wanted from General Vivian was, the character l►e bore in the service at the present for his own charac.er, as. well as the whole of his brother Officers in the 10th Hussar regiment, was equally dear to them as that of Colonel Quin tin.—The Judge Advocate addressed the Court at considerable length •on this point, in conse quence of which the Court was cleared, in order to take the opinion of its Members es to the'pro priety or impropriety of putting that question to ..General•Vivian. The Gazette of last night contains the official account of the operations of our army, in taking possession of Fort Machias, which; with-the ac quisition Of Penobscot Bay, embraces one hun dred miles of sea-coast, and includes that in termediate tract of country which separates the Provi►►ce of New Brunswick from Lower Canada. 'lt is reported that Sir GEORGE PREVOST has been recalled.

We have already above five hundred of them, clothed and armed ; A-it have tried them se veral times QII shore with the marines and sailors, against their old masters, and their behaviour was such as to gain our highest confidence. Our rocket corps astonfsh ,the enemy much, and our marines beat them:in grand style.y While the bat talion was at Bermuda, the Officers were inces santly employed in drilling and fitting them for the field. The enemy observe that they are rifle men, infantry of the line, artillerymen, or sailors, just as the case warrants ; and this is really the fact. The quantities of tobacco that we have taken are enormous. We find it well packed iii very large hogsheads, and the article is become of considerable value. The country. bordering on the Chesapeake is very fine, and, was the land highet', - 'would be as healthy as it now is pleasant.

At half past four o'clock this.afternoon her MA JESTY, accompanied in the same carriage by the PIinCVSSCS ELIZABETH, MARY, and SOPHIA, en tered this place, to the general joy, and amidst the cheerful acclamations of a very large propor tion . of the people. _ _ . . Towards three o'clock the military took their stations, the llttifx, 58tIvinfantry, &c. with their colours, drums, fifes, bands, and bugles, from the North-gate of the Pavilion, forming a line. on the Church-street side of the turnpike-road, the Other side being occupied by the 7th Dragoons, tic. as far as the infantry extended ; and, beyond that line,. both sides of the road were occupied by the cavalry, the whole forming a wide and complete avenue or street, down which 'the Royal Retinue were to pass. . About - three o'clock the Duke of KENT came iti his carriage, passing down the military avenue to the P a vilion ; a nd about twenty minutes after anotlier carriage did the same, in which, we be lieve, was. the Master - of the Horse,. his Grace of MoNTHosE. The tatter carriage had scarcely, reached. the. Palace, when the returning crow& on tht_ roads gave positive notice of the approach of the QUEEN ; and her MAJESTY, in the same carriage with the PItINCESSES, the Horse at a brisk pace, soon after appeared. The bands, drums, trumpets, &c. now rent the air, pl,iying the national anthem of God save the King, while tlle COlotmi swept the ground, in token of the presence of Sovereignty. The Church hells now struck up a merry peal, and several guns were discharged front the only vessel in the roadstead, the French packet 1' Utt;on. The folloWing distinguished characters were aman those in waiting to receive her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES : The . Nikes of Kent and Clarence, Count and Countess Leiren, Luta Henning - , Lord St. Helens, Lord, Lady, and Miss Choluu Nlarquis and Nlarchioness , of Hertford, Lord Yarmouth, Lord R. Spencer, Lord and Lady Harring ton, Lady Ealy, the Marquis of.Headfort, Sir Thomas Tyr tieneral Thornton, Colonel Desborough, Col. Otway, Mr. Bicknell, &c. • • The populace of .the town testified their joy by a brilliant illumination, and fireworks were dis played on the Stevue to considerable advantage. Preparations ar making at Stanmore, the seat of the Earl of CmcansTEß, both in the house and park ; her ZvIAJESTY, the PRINCE REGENT, the PRINCESSES, and the RoYAL Doxiis, it itk un derstood,having accepted of an► invitation to par take of a rural dejeune there, before they return to London. A malignant fever, it is said, rages at Norfolk, .carrying off the inhabitants and troops in abun dance. The•eneiny endeavoured, a few days ago, to get permission to send the Constellation fri-. gate (which is at Norfolk) . to Europe. as a flag of truce ; .but it was not granted. Two English men, who came off to Tangier Island with some blacks, state, that if they had succeeded in get ting her out of port, they did . not really intend to send her as a flag of truce, but • to one•of the Northern ports, where it was designed she should take in men, guns, and stores, and go on a tnix rauding cruize." • Some of the notorious CnABETT'S barns, &c. near Botticy, have been burnt. A Hampshire paper says ;—'' The alarm brought together a number of neighbours to assist in extinguishing the flames: ; they were ordered off in no very•gentle accents by the worthy Lord of the Manor of Fair thorn (CoBBETT) ; the honest rustics considering this as no grateful return for their wish to render assistance, were soon actively employed in pelting the worthy farmer with his own turnips, whilst his property was left to the devouring element.— The flames ceased in about three hours."--We suppose that the worthy Squire, true to his ineen di:iry principles, enjoyed the scene, and wanted no interference. A report of a meeting at Kirkcaldy, to vote a Congratulatory Address to the Electors of West , minster, on the re-election of Lord COCHRAN?, having appeared in some of the London Papers, the Chief Magistrate of Kirkcaldy has published a contradiction, asserting that no such meeting bad taken place. THE THEATRES'. . . , COVENT-GARDEN.—Mr. KENtica made ltis se cond - appearatkee last 'night at this Theatre, ,and gave to, the part of Cato all the energy, dignity, and feclink, which the. author could possibly re-.. quire. He Was greeted at his entrance With the same wartnth as on BatiirdaY, and he excited. the sympathy . as yell as the applause of the audience during his performance. Thp whole was indeed a masterly specimen of theatrical skill. • Datial - i-LAt4E.- - --The old Coniedy of The hypo crite was represented last night at instead of the. new Comedy entitled Pc/icy, on. account of the. indisposition.of Mr. rOPE. PROM A CORRESPONDENT. The following Anecdote is : now very geriej'ally circulating at Paris; - and flinch credit is given to the, truth of it amongst the higher circles there.--It is said, " that, when Buonaparte was very young, just before be left the Ecole,;llilitaire, the officer, wht; superintended the young men, on coming into Napoleon's chamber, found him on his knees, pray. ing, with great fervency, with his arms extended, and frequently prostrating his body on the ground. Napoleon appeared much agitated, and in a flutter of spirits ! so that it was some time before he was sufficiently composed to relate thefollowi ng history. He-said, that very early in the morning, alinost before it was light, a Spectre had appeared- to him, with something like an human shape. It had the likeness of an Iron Crown on its head, and in: its hand it held a black sceptre of ebony. Napoleon was, at first, terrified ; but was soon sooaed by the daemon, and was told, that if he, Na poleon, would fall down, and worship this timon, and would from thenceforwatd con tinue, Morning and evening, in the constant exercise 'of that worship, he should soon be come possessed of all the Principalities and Powers in Europe, and shotild, in the end, be master over all the known world : that, after some hesitation, Napoleon acceded - to this con tract, and: that, that morning, he was, for the first time, paying his adorations to this new deity. It appears that, for some time, both par. ties strictly perfornied-' their share of the con. tract ; but - that, about three - or • four years ago, Napoleon having restored the dallie Church, and having shewn some slight syMptoins ot Relieving in another Deity; that lie told - Marshals Berthier and Ney, that the'same spectre had ap peared to hint agaiit, about the same hour in the morning, ',old had declared the contract to be at an' end ; and foretold, that be shOuld thrfcit and lose the dominions he had subdued, in a much shorter time than he had obtained them in. That Buonaparte, however, had persevered in the wor ship of this infernal deity . ; hut that . the other was inexorable ! Insomuch, that Br-thier reports, that his Friend add Emperor 'begios - to entertain se:- lions thoughts of . a God I . and that he ~ Itotildrnot be•surp4Sed if, in the end, Napoleon was to pro fess himself a Christian." _This be depended upon !.---('Paris, Oct. 18, 1814.)
