n 6 Pi'" , eg jOrk° .itOrAL COLLLG2, T N! l ate Mutiny among the Cadets at the .Royal - Military College at 'Great Marlow, and for which nine of them have been since e:cpelled, although deserving of being considered as nothing m ire than the ebullition of juvenile effervescence, manifested a spirit of insubordination which, whenever it ap. pears, cannot be too rigorously chastised. We,havC, always been of opinion that. barrings.out, and the other names by which .the opposition of School.hoys to the authority of their Preceptors, is : occasionally designated, cannot he too severely re.' pressed. They are no better than incipient ads of rebellion. The boy who has been successful in • tesisting. the legitimate' and parental controul of the person to whose experience his morals, his mind, and his understonding are committed, will, in any probability. carry the same principles of Opposition into the condua of his future life.— . We are no advocates for a system of severity to wards the rising generation ; hut considering the principles that have been in the last few years dis. seminated throughout Europe, we see more than a common necessity for returning tti that discipline in our seminaries, and public institutions of every kind, to which, in a great degree, may he attri. buted the patience, the hardihood, and the futhear.. ance, which have placed-the Navy and the .M lusty of Great Britain above that of, the Public Force of any Country. It appears that some of the Cadet: who were dis. -Pleased wiaule. discipline exercised over then] by a new Captain,' had determined to resist him. With a predilection for military stratagem, which may be naturally accounted fnr,they commenced their ope. rations with placing some powd er r a hay.statk, with in te n t ;u set fire to it at a convenient oppi flu city, in hopes of drawing the great body nt Cadets to the place, while they, the Mutineets, were' to be employed in another quarter. They intended to get possession of the armoury, and atter having se cured a sufficient number of muskets to arm them selves, to throw the rest into a pond. The time Chasm for the grand attack, was that. when they are Usually aiisembled at prayers. Hoping 'to surprise the Command,mf, it was their intention to offer conditions to him, which if refused, they were to fire upo n the College, and to d all the mischit fin their power, What those exper;elfeed commanders were further to do after they had effected all they had concerted never entered into their consider,a. tion. The design, however, was discovered, and all the circumstances were laid by the .Collegiate Boaid before the COMMANDIR in CH I Er. His Royal Highness, as it was his duty,. submitted them fo alts MAJESTY, who immediately .ordered, that the juvenile culprits should he expelled with every ma of military tliigrace,.. Both Depittments of the Royt Military C >liege were assembled, and the ofTendeis havihg first had their sword: broken over their heads, Were rir;pped of ,their uniforms, and turned out of the College— " The world was all before them, Where to chuse their place of rest, and Providence their • • guide." iSPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPT. t li • ','fits. wrlte from Dijon, that Priests are , cvnti. nually passing through that town, whom Govern ment, On account of their obstinacy and refrattory spirit, is obliged to transport or banish. Theircon, duct in the country, among the common people, has caused many saouitiary scenes ; whilst it has dis_ graced every good Frenchman, either a Christian or a Patriot. Last week five Priests were confined in the prisons of this town, and afterwards, by the order of the Emperor, were transported, under the escort of Gorr d' Armfr, to Rimini, in Italy. During • their confinement, fanatics and devotees surrourded their prison, brought them in abundance to ear and drink ; and, when their condemnation was known, subscribed a sum of money, so that each Priest re. ceived fifty louis d'ors. From this it may be judged, that the fanatics are not among the low classes of the people, but that their pious zeal must be maintained by the gold of British heretics. One Priest, from the Department of Meurth, attempted to preach to the people from the windows of his prison, telling then that the Chief of the Roman Catholic Church was not free, and, of course, his ails and appoint ntnts could not ; with other seditious expressions ; which caused him to be removed to a dungeon, where he might gratify his envy in preaching a soliloquy. It is hoped that Hi. , Holiness the POPE, • by his presence in this country, will restore to con_ sciences that tranquillity.ol w hich r }vise of the noraot, weak. and timid, .have.soi-n 6 ed ; and which has given rogues•or tools s m d uy opportunities to trouble Government, and to mislead the people.—( Journal des Defenstars.)

'rhe Finances of most, of the Italian States are very much deranged of late years, hay ing_all..beewsuffer. err, more or less, direttly or indtre(ly, from the late disastrous, Wars. This misfortune is common to Tuscany. "For a long time its treasures and re. Sources ,have been exhausted, and its debts aug. planted. The evil has arrived at that bright, that the Queen Regent of Etruria has been forced to ap. point a Committee, charged . to find out some remedy to reestablish order and regularity in the Finances.

On the t ith inst. at noon, a remarkable pheno. mew:in was observed at Whitby, I , r which it is extteinely difficult to account. It was as follows — 7 The day being sultry, with-very little wind, a sudden and vehement wind, which seemed to arise from the caverns of the earth, took place in a small plot of ground behind a Gentleman's house at the north. west end of the town,. where a quantity of linen was laid to ; these, c like the effeel, of a s mall tornag, it whirled into the air, carrying them awifily. across the river, beyond which several arti. des were faund, at above a mile's distance from the spot tram whence. they were swept away ; and what renders this more remarkable is, that other clothes lying on the same grass-plot, and upon the surrounding hedge, remained undiStuthed. In every other part of the town the weather was in tensely hot and calm. A - Lul l -, with two female attendants, went to bathe, a few day; since, at, Brighton, and desired that the machine might be put into• the water as deeply as it could be placed with safety.
