PATTESON'S servant is returned from Ca nada, from whom we have !Canted the following particulars respecting his master's death :—There had been fighting on the 15th- and 16th, and twice Capt. P. had been — knocked down by the wind of cannon-shot passing very near him. On the morning 'of the 17th September he was re'- lieved from picket at the very battery where' he afterwards fell, and had retired into the camp. Several_ deserters had escaped to the enemy, and informed' them of the . measures then taken by General Drummond for his retreat, and that the guns were already. buried. The enemy had about 5000 met) in Furt Erie, and obtained as many more seven-day men with which he made the sortie on the 17th, during- heavy rain: The enemy succeeded in beating hack our troops, • aiid in taking three batteries, when General Drummond rode into the camp .to get all the troops he - could ; he met Lieutenant- Colonel Campbell, of the 6th, who imme diately ordered that regiment out, and. gave the command of the right wing to Major Taylor, to proceed towards the battery by the woods, and of the left wing to Capt Patteton, to proceed to the same by .the high road. Captain Y . soon fail in with the enemy, and drove them beforehim. When he came-near the, battery, the Americans cried out for . quarter to surrender ; on which Capt. P. ordered: ha men to cease firing., and formed them in order to take possession of tile - battery ; they - were them within twenty yards of it. When Capt. P. had stepped out to give the wOrd, a hum ber of Americans, who had concealed themselves behind the breast-work of the battery, started lip and fired upon the British, by.which Capt. P. was shot through the head front ear to ear, and .-dropped down dead without a struggle ; his cover in;; serjeant was' shot through the head in front, and dropped dead, as did six 'if the privatesawarest then). The British lost by this firing a;great many men in .killed and wounded. The survivors, joined by the' other wing, enrage thy this breach of-ho nour, instantly stormed the .battery, and inflicted the Merited punishment on the perpetrators of this treacherous act. Captain 'P. was conveyed to the cemp—the next day the regiment was formed in hollow square, and he tras buried •• according to the rites of- the Church, , and with all military honours. Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, the officers and privates, shed, tears of regret for his loss, as he was honoured as a soldier, and beloved by all who knew Intn.. Men hired for that short period for military purposes. —. (Norwich Mereur:7J FEVER AT GIBRALTAR. PIIOCLAMATION. BY HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL G. DON, LTEUT,- GOVERNOR AND COM MANDER-IN -CHIEF OF 'THE TO NN AND GARRISON OF GIBRALTAR. Whercai it appears, from the most, authentic records, that since the earliest times, up to the year 1814, Gibraltar has ever been considered one of the - most healthy places in Europe; that in the said year a malignant fever caged with violence, and again broke out in the years 1810, 13, and 14; that 14,910 persons were att ac k e d b y it, and that 7,070 (up to the 3d inst.) have died. That-although this fever hits hitherto constantly yielded to the influence of the cold season, yet its late recurrence for two successive years, gives cause to fear that the rains .and Cold alone may not be sufficient - for. its total extermination ; but that some seeds of the disease may lay dormant in the pb,ce, and be brought into activity by the return of the next Autumn. The exertions of every individual, both military and civil, in the Garrison, are therefore, absolutely necessary, in carry ing into execution measuses of purification: and it is requir ed that every householder, w h ether proprietor or tenant, shall', on or before the 7th day of next mouth, cause his house and offices to be thoroughly cleansed, and all kinds of filth re moved from them. Every kind of furniture, bedding, and wearing apparel, must he thoroughly cleansed and aired. Every house in which the fever .has existed, during the present season, must be again white -washed and fumigated. HA lime oral soap will he allowed, gratis, to such pers ons as are unable to purchas e th es l articles, and ' will be issued by the Inspectors of Districts. The materials for fumigation, and persons to superintend the process, wilt be provided by Surgeon-Majer Fraser. Theinsp6ctors of Districts, who have. so zealously exerted theniselves during the malady of the present year, are re, quested to superintend the execution of this important mea sure; arid to report upon it to the Lieut.-Governor„ between ' the - 7th and 14tli of next month. - It mast be apparent. to every One who has lately resided at Gibraltar, that the exertions on the part of Government, to prevent a recurrence of the malignant fever, can never. be effectual, unless Xealousy seconded by every individual, mili tary and civil, in tile Garrison. • - His Excellency the Lieut. Governor, therefore, in promul gating. regulati o ns eo obvioUsly directed to the general wel fare, deems it unnecessary to enforce their observance by any penal injunction. • He calls fur, and relies with confidence on, the zealous co operation of every individual, in a toeli which involves the in terests of all : having no view but the preservation of the pub lic health, and the• revival of the commercial prosperity which has unhappily been suspended. . • • His Excellency is c,nvinced, _that th e o h sereance of tle foregoing rules will no t on l y . go far towarcts "destrrrying t:i, liirkini4 seeds of disease,-hut will tend to remove the impres sion, unhappily existing in every mercantile town in Enrol), of the chte.;er of cuanniuneation with Gibraltar; and his Ex ceilency trusts that these eteps, combined with measures has in euetemplation, will, %011ie they may erasure the f:),• ress from a return of the dreadful malady, permanently 0;• a fur Le the advantages-of commercial activity; and the com forts of 'social interc ourse . • • - (Si;ried) GEOB.GE DQ's, Gcn. add Lieut.-Gov. . .

WALSTEIN, who, to obey the laudable impulse of filial duty and ..affectibn, suddenly quitted her situation at this Theatre, re turned to it last night, in the part of Miss Letitia Hardy, and was received by a numerous audience in such a manner as to shew that the Public are not insensible of inerjtorions conduct in private Me. There was nothing in her performance of the part to distinguish it from the manner in which she supported it before, and which ive noticed at the time. She was gay and animated in the earlier scenes, and impressive in those whiCh related to her affection for Doriceurt. COVENT-GIRDEN.—Mr. YOUNG, as we stated' yesterday, was unable to perform Biron, in the play of Isabella, last night, on account of a do mestic loss. The substitute was Mr. CONWAY but as the audience in general ‘vere not apprized of the reason of the ehange, some disapprobation at tended him on his:entrance. tie,. therefore, cape forward, and modestly statia.; - the; 'cause of his appearane, and that he had taken the part upon a short notice, ht threw hitnselt upon their kind in diligence'. This appeal produced immediate sa tisfaction, and be w e nt th roug h the part at least . respect - ably. Miss O'NEII.L, as usual, powerfully interesred the feelings, and received the.warmest marks of public favOur. ROBERT BURNS.. (Froinithe Edinburgh Courant.) We observe with much pleasure, that-the re spectable Manager of out Theatre has •liberally devoted the profit: of. to-morrow's representation to the Monument proposed .to be .raised to the memory of BURNS ; ,and we .cannot resist the tip portunity afforded us, of a few- words upon a subject so peculiarly interesting to Scotchmen. The first poet of his own age, and ranking amongst the first poets of collected ages, Robert Burns sheds a lustre, upon Scotland, as bright as has eLtr 'been conferred upon her by-the splendour of a single name. The roll of Scottish literature con tains in irindividuals pre.-eminent in every branch of human acquirement ; but it may be questioned whether even this splendid liSt includes a name, more likely to fix the admiration of posterity than that of Burn. In this estimate 'Of his genius, we make no reference to the peculiarities or- defi ciencies of his early habits and education. A poet of merely relative excellence, can never. have any enduring fame ; hot Burns's claims are of a very different kintL He owed little to cultivation, and to Yearning he owed nothing. Like Horsier and Shake speare, be was sent forth by Nature in gall .the gran deur of inherent intellectual . strengtb,--4he Sun that effuses its own original light, not the planet' that shines by reflected rays. -A genius like this, no obstacles could either restrain or retard.:--He wrote in a language which is limited and .local, but to which his powers gave ditlnsion and cele .brity. - His pictures, though chiefly' those of northern character and manners, are universally understood and admired, because nature the ground" upon which all of them are raised ;- and he illuminated whatever he touched with a - genius so glowing, so di vers ifi e d , and so masterly,' that his productions promise to be co . -existent with the noblest inonuments which the, human mind has erected to its own greatness. In this view, perhaps, the sentence originally a pplied to -Sir CHRISTOPHER',WREN and the Ca thedral of St. Paul's, may he extended to BURNS Si Monumentu m and his work s.—‘ , spice ! - -His fittest monument, it may he said, is that already reared to him by his own genius. But it is rather to partake, than to confer honour, that Scotland should unite in raising a Mausolem over :the remains of BonNs. She should exult in skew= ing that she knows how td appreciate the glory attaching to her from this her illustrious son ; she should exult in paying to •his memory this last and -Solemn act of homage. Every :county, every parish, every village that has been applied to, - has been in their contribtions to this great ii tional object ; and Surely the first example of-cold less and neglect will not be givenby the metropo lis. We confidently expect., therefore, a concourse of all ranks upon this interesting occasion,—we rill not say to avert from us the reproach of :)lindness and ingratitude—bat to* testify, in so :ar as the occasion permits us to testify, our r e -,, .- - erence and admiration for the memory of a man, 'even in this day, so prolific and powerful in poetical genius, maintains an unquestioned and unquestionable superiority, RECORDER'S REPORT.

NEWTOWNARLiS, DEC.`S.---There has lived in this neighbourhood nearly 40 years, - in the town land of Cunuingbtn•n, a man. who was deaf and ' dumb, of the name .of Sam. Duncan, who has worked all that time in flax-mills belonging to Lord Londonderry. Last week, he-Was a. little indisposed, so that he could not attend his work; his wife has been in a poor state of, health for some years, but was able to walk- about. Yes terday morning (Sunday) she rose about seven o'clock, and made some . tea, of which she drank, and _her husband also drank a cop i❑ bed ; one of her daughters had been up at the • same time, whom the mother advised to go to bed again for an hour, as she said she thought herself a great deal better than she bad_. been for some time before; •that her father• was better also. The mother went to bell again herself : and a little af ter eight o'clock the daughter went into the room; and found her father and mother breath-. less corpses, lying in - the-same bed. As there was no Sign \of animation in either, and both ap parently in. the situation they lay down in, it iw generally thought they bad died about the same time. Lord Londonderry has very humanely:or dered every thing requisite for a decent inter ment, to be provided at his cost ; and to-nior,. row they will be tarried on one bier to the place of interment. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHE-.1t.-;--Yesterday morning the Cattle and Implements, &c. ar rived in • Mr. SADLER'S Yard, at, the usnal hour; and although it hall been annOunced that the Skew would not open until the aftetnoon, a cousider. able crowd surrounded the Repository gates during the forenoon, and increased greatly afterwards, notwithstanding the gates remained shut and - the deluges of rain that fell : on inquiry we learned that the cause of this disappointment arose gout( • the complicated arrangements and consideratiOns, that two sets of premiums, to many of which the same animal was eligible, and, in other cases only one set, had occasioned to the Stewards and Judges, and the saute having greatly exceeded the time that _bad been calculated to allow *1 ..len4 for examination, before strangers should he admitted to the yard.—The Judges could not complet'e their decisions in time to put up the usual labels, announcing the prizes, before the yard closed Jai; night.
