BOWRING,, ON THE SUBJECT OF THE LATTER'S SPOLIATION, ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT, BY THE AGENTS OF CALAIS. CALAIS, OCT. 8, 1822. SIR-1 have to entreat your Excellency's immediate interfer ence on my behalf, in a case in which the rights of hospitality, and the protection of my passport, indorsed by you, have been grossly and illegally violated. I visited Paris for n commercial concerns, and left it by the diligence on Thursday last. On my arrival here, I ob tained the indorsement of my passport and license for embarka tion. 'When I reached the pier, I was arrested •by the Agents of Police, and conducted with my baggage to the Mairie, where I was told that an order from Government had arrived for the examination of all my papers. I requested the attendance of the British Consul, which was granted ; my trunk was opened, my papers were all read and examined, and 15 sealed letters, with two sealed packets, one of them from the Portuguese Ambassador at Paris to the Portuguese Minister at London, bearing the. arms of Portugal, and delivered into my own hands by I M. D'Oliveira himself, were forcibly taken from me. I beg leave to premise that, of the contents of all or any of these letters or packets, lam wholly ignorant—a fact which 1 offered to despose upon oath. Notwithstanding this, my pass port was taken from me, and after a detention of two days, I have been delivered over to the gendarmerie, to be conducted to Boulogne, and delivered up to the Procurer du Roi without any legal . proceeding against me, without the knowledge of any one circumstance to justify an act so arbitrary and so attrocious. I have now to put myself under your powerful protection, and to solicit your instant interference to rescue my person from imprisonment, and to uphold the important character of that Dutton you represent, whose citizens have no longer any pro tection from the laws. I have also to entreat that you will consult with the Minister of his Faithful Majesty, as to the means of vindicating those diplomatic privileges which have been so wantonly violated in his person, by the seizure of his official correspondence. I have "protested against acts which make your signature of ,no avail for the protection of British subjects; and though I know of no ground for the appfehension that any part of the correspondence which was intrusted to me bears a political character, I have protested against the horrible principle, that the bearer of a sealed letter, whose contents are unknown to him 4 can be made responsible for those contents. I submit all this to your Excellency's consideration. My commercial affairs are dreadfully suffering from this violent detention; it is impossi ble to calculate the consequences. I venture, therefore, to hope, that your Excellency will take instant and effective measures for my release, and referring to the report of the Britisfi Consul, I have the honour to he, your Excellency's Most obedient and most IMmble servant, (Signed) JOHN BOWRING. COPY OF A LETTER ADDRESSED TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR , CHARLES STUART, BY MR. BLAQUIRE, AND WHICH AC . COMPANIED THE PRECEDING :--- CALAIS, OCT. 9. Silt—Should your Excellency be pleased to claim the letters and papers• which have just been forcibly taken from my friend, Mr. Ilowring, by the agents of the French police, 1 beg leave to, mention, that there was a letter of mine amongst the number. It is addressed to his Excellency Senor Garcia, a Member of the Peruvian Legation, recently arrived in. England ; and, though containing nothing which I can have.the smallest wish to conceal, yet it is my duty solemnly to protest against the seal being broken by any of the French Authorities, as a mani fest violation of law and justice. In the event, however, of your Excellency's feeling any de sire to become acquainted with the contents of the letter thus claimed, I beg to add, that I have not the least objection to its being opened by the Representative of my Sovereign, and even transmitted to his Majesty's Government. I have thelonour to be, Your Excellency's most humble and very obedient Servant, (Signed) EDWARD BLAQUIERE. [Here follows a letter addressed to Mr. CANNING by Mr, JEREMY BENTHAM, detailing the circumstances of Mr, BowRING'S arrest, and requesting the interference of Govern, ment.] Foreign Office, Oct. 11, 1822. Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this date ; which conveyed to me the first intimation of the circum stances to which it relates. A memorandum was indeed left at the door of my office this morning, , which must have had re ference to the same case ; but it was without date or signature, or particular details. 1 will write to Sir Charles Stewart, with your statement, by the courier of this evening. I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, (Signed) GEO. CANNING. Jeremy Bentham, E7.-q. ' Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Du chess of CLARENCE, accompanied by two of the Misses FITZCLARENCE and their Royal High- nesses' suite, embarked at Antwerp soon after day-light, on the 3d of October, in the Royal Sovereign yacht, sailed immediately, and ar rived in Deptford in the afternoon of Saturday last. The weather was so favourable the whole way, that the Ladies were seldom off deck from day-light till dark. Their Royal High nesses were much struck with the scene on the Thames, so different from that of the Scheldt, for On the latter river there is hardly a vessel to be seen. The Duke took a great interest in every thing that went on board the yacht. The Duchess's health is much improved since she left England. On Sunday afternoon they all wen to Church at Greenivich Hospital, but returne on board again, and landed from the yacht a three o'clock on that day, when the customary honours were paid them ; they set off immediately for Bushy Park. Sir JAHLEEL BRENTON com manded the yacht, in the absence of Captain AnAM.—( Portsmouth .Telegraph.) THE POLICE.—A new day police has been established at Bow-street, and upon a plan which promises to be of very essential service in protecting the public from those daring out rages and degradations which have lately become so prevalent in the metropolis. Three parties, each consisting of eight men, and a conductor, selected for .his experience and activity, are to be thus disposed of :—The first under John Smith, a very old officer, is to patrol Holborn, and the adjacent Squares, Lincoln's-inn-fields, Drury-lane, Covent-garden, and Leicester square ; a second, tinder David Herring, the Strand, Parliament-street, Pall-mall, Piccadilly, and Oxford-street : and the third, conducted by Drew, to watch Whitechapel and its neighbour hood, and a portion of the Borough of South wark. They are to distribute themselves judi ciously, and to go on duty at nine in the morning, and be relieved now, at seven in the evening, by the night parties, the time of relief to vary ac ' cording to the length of the days. They went on duty for the first time on Friday morning last. We are given to understand that the Admiralty have issued.directions for suspending all further reductions among the artificers of 'this Dock yard, after the two next discharges, until the en suing spring. This measure of prudence and humanity will gladden the hearts of many fa milies, who otherwise would have been com pelled to seek employment elsewhere, under all the rigours of the winter season.—(Hampshire Chronicle.) ROBBERY OF THE IPSWICH Ips wich Journal announces that the banking firm of that town have " had 28,0011. of their stolen property restored to them ;" and adds, that there is now no doubt of the stolen notes being t raced home, and the conviction of the parties t hereby secured.

'Tis done, and your Con bath recorded above The vows ycu have made at his altar ; May they always be kept in affection and love, And your hearts from their truth never falter. May the sun of prosperity cheer with its rays Every step of the path you are treading, Attending you through to the end of your days, Around. you/ its radiances shedding. May the angel of peace, like the ark-shelter'd dove, On your humble abode ever rest; And the sunshine of hope, and the spirit of love, Make the years of your pilgrimage blest. When Time's rapid changes, the world with its cares, And foes with their malice assail you, When the friends youhave cherish'd-souround you with snares. And those you relied upon fail you,. In heart and in council united remain, Though misfortunes around you are frowning ; Then the smile of affection shall soothe every pain, And peace e'en affliction be crowning. Should years, as they vanish, erase from my mind Every feeling 1 fain would remember; This wish and this prayer would be still behind, Like the rose that puts forth in December. But we one and all must soon cross the drear wave, The Jordan of Death darkly rolling; Must sleep with our fathers, lie down in the grave, Friendly hearts our last knell gently tolling. Then,.oh ! may we meet when visions are past, Where no heart-breaking partings can sever . With pinions, well tried in the world's adverse blast, Stretch beyond it for ever and ever ! THE THEATR E.—There is nothing to report respecting Covent Garden Theatre,on Saturday, more than that the Comedy of The Rivals was altogether very well represented. . FARREN was Sir Anthony Absolute; - ONES, Captain Absolute; MSS FOOTE, Lydia Languish ; Mrs. FA - UCIT, Julia; and ABBOTT, Faulkland. Acre's was as signed to BLANCIIARD vice LISTON,- and was sufficiently prominent in the piece. It is some what curious that this comedy, which is altogether one of our best acting plays, was unsuccessful at first, though supported by the powerful' talents of. WoonwAnn, SIIUTEIt, and, all the comic strength of the Theatre. Such is public caprice. Mrs. CHATTERLEY, in addition to the profits of her very successful benefit, last week, at the Haymarket Theatre, had a hundred pound note sent to her for a box ticket. Miss CLARA FISHER, as we before stated, is to be introduced to Drury-Lane Theatre in a dramatic sketch, purposely written fur her by Mr. COLMiN. It is positively stated that Mr. LISTON is en gaged at Drury-Lane Theatre on the conclusiot (;f his Dublin ent'rprize. • The Comedy from the veteran REYNOLDS IS to be one of the earliest novelties at Drury-Lane Theatre. Miss KELLY iS engaged to perform at Dublin, and then, it is said, she is to make her first ap pearance at Covent-Garden Theatre. THEATRICAL FAUX 1 - AS.-The accident which befel Mr. WRENCH On Monday evening at the Adelphi Theatre has been incorrectly stated in some of the Pap,zs. 'We under stand what occurred was as follows :—" During the perform ance of " Tom and Jerry,". between the Gaming house scene and that in which the London Beggars appear, Mr. WRENCH, having to change his dress to assume the disguise of a mendi cant, and being compelled to use all possible expedition to pre pare for his visit to the Holy Land, he was rapidly descending a staircase for that purpose, when he placed his foot on a loose board, which immediately giving way, introduced his boot to a hole beneath, and he sunk down with his limb almost double. A sprained ancle, accompanied with a tre mendous swelling and discolouration of the leg, were the in stant consequences, but anxious that the performances should not be interrupted, he went through the piece, though suf fering the most excruciating torture. When the curtain fell he was so far exhausted, that he could not attempt to appear before the audience in the after-piece. A substitute was pro vided on the spur of the moment, and WRENCH was conveyed to his home in a coach, where he has been kept a close prisoner ever since. We, however, have the pleasure to learn that the accident, though serious for the time being, is not likely to be attended with any permanently unpleasant consequences, and, however the comedian may at pre sent regret the consequences of this faux pas, it is not likely to strengthen the Poet's hypothesis— That one false step can never be retrieved." FUNERAL OF THE LATE DUCHESS OF NEWCASTLE.— On Tuesday last, the funeral of her Grace the Duchess of NEWCASTLE took plcae in the family vault at Bottonisall, about four miles from Clumber. The procession moved from Clumber about twelve o'clock in the following order :__ Clumber troop of cavalry, in their private dress ; mourning coach, in which was Dr. Falkner and the Rev. -J. Mason; undertakers on horseback ; hearse, containing the body ; a person on foot. bearing the plumes ; Mr. Hudson, house steward, on a black horse, bearing the coronet on a crimson velvet cushion ; mourning coach, in which was Gen. Mundy, Captain Mundy, Reverend M. Mundy, and C. G. Mundy, Esq. brothers of her Grace ; school children, all dressed in neat black ' • three mourning coaches, containing the servants, each coach having six horses ; his Graces carriage ' • Duchess Dowager of Newcastle's carriage, Lord Surrey's, Lord Gal way's, and the Duke of Portland's ; there were about sixty pages walking on each , side the different coaches and car riages in the procession. Theq uantity of people assembled to witness the melancholy scenee was reat, and the symp a thy and affection manifested was truly affecting, particularly from the children of the school, who, in subs and tears, bewailed the loss of their generous benefactress. The 'l'opaze, recently arrived at Portsmouth from India ) has brought a male and a female antelope, a present from Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD to Sir JAMES WRITSIIED. THE ARMY. MEMORANDUM FOR REGIMENTS OF INFANTRY. HORSE GUARDS, OCT. 3, 1822.. The COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF directs it to be notified, in reference to the recent Regulations in regard to Officers' Dress, that the Gorget is intended' to form part of the Officers' Equip ment, and to be worn on all occasions of duty hitherto esta blished by the usage of the service. JOHN MACDONALD, Deputy Adjutant General. Five Companies, together with the Head Quarters of the 15th Regiment of Foot, embarked to-day, at Liverpool, for Dublin. A detachment of the 3d , Dragoon Guards marched to-day from Newcastle-upon-Tyne for Scarborough, where it will ar rive on Friday next, the 18th instant. ROYAL NAVY, kc. The new teak-built ship of the line Ganges, of 86 guns com manded by Captain F. A. Collier C.B. and K.S.L. lately ar rived at Portsmouth from Bombay and Trincomalee, ma the Topaze frigate, Captain Price Blackwood, from Madras and Trincomalee; the former left Bombay the sth, the latter Ma dras the 20th of May, and both the Mauritius on the 15th of June, passed the Cape 25th July, left SL Helena 19th August, and lay to off Ascension (where the royal marine garrison was in good health) on the 25th of that month. These ships brought specie, on account of, the Hon. East India Company, to the amount of one million sterling, in dollars, rupees, pagodas, and moors ;.which has been since landed and con veyedto the Bank of England ; and both ships have come into the harbour to be paid off, their crews having been absent more than four years. The Ganges is manned from his Majesty's late ship Liverpool, which was sold out of the service ; she was bought at Bombay by a Persian Prince, for the purpose of being fitted out for the protection of the trade against the daring pirates in the Punier' Gulf. We learn by these ships that tranquillity prevails through r out our extensive Indian possessions, and that the affairs of the India Company, generally, were never more pros perous. So much reduced are the new public expences, that upwards of two millions of money have been transmitted home from the Treasury within a very short time. The Mar quis of Hastings was in good health. The Glasgow frigate, Captain Doyle was refilling at Trincomalee, for the purpose of returning to , Calcutta, and to bring the Noble Marquis to England, should he wish to leave his Government previous to the arrival of a successor; and, in that case, General Sir Ed ward Paget was to proceed from Columbo to Calcutta, and assumed the command-in-chief of all the troops in India and its dependencies. The squadron under Sir Henry Blackwood were thus employed :—a Leander, Rear-Admiral Sir Henry Blackwood, Captain Charles Richardson, arrived at Trinco make 15th of May from Bombay, with part of the stores from the naval establishment at Bombay, which had been greatly reduced ; the ships of the line which had been or dered to be built there by the Persian builders, of teak wood, are to be sent home in frame, that more employ might be given to our artisans at home, in preference to the native builders in that country. The Ganges has in conse quence brOught the necessary timber for one line-of-battle ship, and part of another : some of it is of uncommon fine dimensions, being 75 feet in length. The small frigates building at Cochin China were nearly ready to be launched. The Tees, 28, Capt. Coe, which arrived at Trincomalee from England, on the lbth of May, sailed en the 28th with the dispatches she took out for Bengal, whether also the Curlew,lB,has sailed. The Sophie, 18, Capt. French, was at Bombay ; 'the Satellite, 18, Capt. Gore, at Mocha • the Glasgow, at Trincomalee ; the Dauntless, 18, Capt. Gambier, at New South Wales, Sir Henry Blackwood had given orders for the squadron to assemble at Tricomale by the 16th of July, as he expected Commodore Grant would then have arrived from England to take the command, and it was Sir Henry's intention thereupon to procceed to England. It was expected the Leander would bring a freight of specie from Bengal. The naval yard at Trincomalee was proceeding with ; an extensive naval hospital was building there. The place was very unhealthy ; Mr. Boyd, Surgeon of the present hospital (formerly of the Leander) died there on the 22d of May, of a fever, after twelve days' illness, being the third chief medical officer who had died there within a short time. Mr. Dobie, of the Leander ' had been appointed to succeed him.— There had been no newsfrom China since the Topaze left Macoa : it wagunderstood the East Indi a Company's chief civil officers had requested that, to prevent the recurrence of any future disputes, no more ships of war might be sent to that quarter ; as the Chinese always shewed an amicable disposition towards the subjects of this country, the presence of ships of war there were not neces sary. When the Topaze left the Mauritius (15th June), the Menai, 26, Capt. F. Moresby, C.B. was lying there. She had taken three slave-traders from the Isle of Madagascar and toe Mozambique Channel. The island was healthy. The Hyperion frigate, Capt. Lillicrap, C.B. parted company from the Ganges. and Topaze three degrees north of the Line, for Jamaica, she having been relieved - at the Cape by Commodore Nourse, in the Andromache. The Scaleby Castle (since arrived home) and Vansittart, from China; Florentia, with one half of a million of specie, on account of the East India Company, from Bengal; the George Home and Hannah, free traders, were lying at St. Helena, homeward-bound. Major-Gen. Sir Pine Coffin, late second in command at St. Helena had embarked in the Scaleby Castle. The following persons came home passengers in the Topaze :—Capt. Campbell, Aid-de-Camp to the Com mander-in-Chief at Madras • Lieut. Norton, late of the Glas gow ; Lieut. Cockfell, late of the Leander ; Mr. Lush, Deputy Provost-marshal at New South Wales ; Mr. Bligh, from Co lumbo, Mr. Alexander Russell, master of the Topaz; was un fortunately drowned off the Cape of Good Hope : He went aloft, during a heavy gale of wind, to perform a necessary ser vice, when a sudden lurch of the ship threw him off the main. yard into the sea, and he was never seen again. Mr. Smartley, second master of the Topaze, died on the 19th May. The Topaze brought mails from all parts of India. The Topaze was actively employed four years in the East Indies, during which she lost the lamented Captain Lumley, and many other excellent officers. Of all the officers, only four mid shipmen have arrived home who went out in her from Eng land. She was the first ship of war engaged with the enemy in our present King's reign. Iler services in expelling the horde of daring pirates at Mocha and Muscat, in the Persian Gulf, were of the most essential importance to the trade of that country, and in which we had to regret the loss of several brave officers and men. Lieut. Moriarty, who commanded the storm ing party at Mocha, and to whom the country is indebted for the success of the enterprise, was so severely wounded, as to be obliged to return to England; he has since happily recovered from his wounds. A letter from Ascension, dated. July 19, says—" The Ily perion arrived here yesterday, on her way to Jamaica, and is now landing provisions and stores for this island. She left St. Helena a few days since. The Admiralty have been very at tentive to us, having, with other kind supplies, ordered eighty suits of clothing to be given to the men, ho work as gar deners, mule-feeders, water-drawers, stone-masons, &c. We are all healthy." The Conway, 24, Capt. Basil Hall, was at San Bias de Ca lifornia in May last, taking in a freight of two millions of dol lars, with which she was to sail direct for England early in June, so that her arrival may be expected very soon. The Morgiana may shortly be expected to arrive in England, she having left the coast of Africa, for the Brazils, previous to the Myrmidon's departure from Sierra Leone, whence she was to proceed homewards. An armed brig, mounting 18 guns, under American colours, called the New York, anchored at the Motherbank on Monday. She has been fitted out, fully equipped, and manned with 80 seamen, at Flushing, and is said to be bound to New Orleans ; but it is generally supposed that she is intended for the Patriot service in South America. We understand that she was formerly the Mosquito, one of our 18-gun sloops. The greater part of her crew have left her since her arrival. A small promotion of Medical Officers of the Navy has taken place recently. Messrs. Rae, Greenish, and Rogan, Assistant Surgeons, have, among others, been made Surgeons, and seve ral have added to the list of Assistants.—The Rev. Mr. 'White head, late Chaplain of the Gloucester has been appointed to the Phaeton. Lieut. H. H. Cock has also joined that ship ; and her former Master, Mr. Joseph Higgs, has been re-appointed to her. Saturday morning the Hon.

GAME OF GOLF.—MONTROSE, OCT. 3.—The Gold Me dal given by the Montrose Golf Club, was competed for on cur Links yesterday, and won by Mr. R. Clark, writer, who played the 17 holes at 104 strokes. This ancient game continues to excite the attention of many of our citizens, and some of them have attained a degree of skill which we are ready to think was never equalled in this place, and not to be excelled on any other green. As an instance of this we may mention, that 'a few days ago Captain Bertram played 14 holes at 68 strokei; being below the average of five strokes to each hole ; and when we take into consideration the distance between the holes, .and the hazards to be avoided, those acquainted with the' game will readily admit this to have been an extraordinary. effort' , in golfing. The members of the Club supped at the Star Inn, a handsome silver snuff-box, with an appropriate inscrip tion, voted at a former meeting, was presented by Capt. Ber tram to Mr. Patrick Mason, as a testimony of theiresteem and gratitude due to him for the preservation and extension of the golf-course, and the attention he paid on all occasions to the interests of the Club. There, is no question about the . truth'` Of our statement relating to the indisposition of Madame CATALAN!, and the utter impos'sibility' of her fulfilling her engagements either with Mr. HA aa is or Mr. Bocusa. We believe she was at Dieppe, preparing to coming to England, when She was seized with her unfortunate malady. The letters which have been received from her state, that her Physician recommends her . to retire to he, villa, on the banks of the Arno, near Florence, in the hope that with the advantage of . quiet and her native air she may recover.--(Morning Chronicle.) SJNOULAR DISCOVERY. — The Police . of Am sterdam have discovered a gang of thieves in a very singular manner. A stranger brotight a piece of fur to a furrier to make twelve caps of it, all of the same shape. The latter contrived to make thirteen caps instead of twelve, and kept the thirteenth for himself. Some days afterwards he• was standing with this cap on at - a stall, looking attentively at the goods, and, as *as his custom., holding his 'hands behind him, when he felt something put in his hand, and onlooking Sound a gold watch with chain and seals. He looked round in vain for the person who had thus surprised him, but he could see no one. He , ' thought it his duty to inform the Police, and as a reward for his zeal, was for the present put under arrest. It is said that the Police had dis covered that there was a society of 12, robbers, who recognised each other by these caps, and without doubt this is the reason why the honest furrier was mistaken for a member of the band,
