THE following corresponde n ce has passed be tween Col. :yrEvEtis, of the East Regiment of Somersetshite Yeomanry, and Lord HoBt.P. - r, in consequence of the offer of that Corps to continue its Services in time of Peace. We have pecu liar satisfadion'in laying these Communications before the Public, and we cannot refrain ,from expressing our earnest hope ofieeing this patriotic example followed by all the Yeomanry and Volun teer Corps throughout the Empire. " New-Norfolk—quit, Cromer:v- Jpare,?ober §th, 'Sol. c'c Colonel Sin , Ets, of the East Regiment of Somersetshire Yeomanry, has the honour to inform Lord HOB ART,' that on the day of the Review . of - his Regiment by Major General HoitNEcx, last Monday, at King Weston, iu the county of Somer set, in presence of Earl PO WI. ETT, Lord Lieute nant, after • Cal. STEVENS had consulted with his Lordship, the continuance of the Yeomanry Service was proposed, during Peace, on the original condi_ tions---To serve without pay, to assemble in the early part of every summer for exercise and the preservation of discipline ; .to be reviewed annually by a General Officer, and to hold them selves in constant readiness to assist the Civil Power whenever called upon, either colledively as a Re giment, or in single troops in their different dis aids, as occasion may require. It is with singular satisfaaion Col. STEVENS reports, that by every Troop of the Regiment to whiCh the proposition was made by its Commanding Officer, it was' not only assented to unanimously, but with every mark of loyalty, zeal, , and spirit. The future Services of the Eastern Regiment of Somersetshire Yeoman ry are thus early offered, if His MAJESTY shall be graciously pleased to accept them, and when ever His Majesty's pleasure shall be known, Col. STEVENS will form such arrangements as Govern.. went shall diredt, or the Lord Lieutenant shall con_ sider most advantageous to the County and the Publie Welfare." " St 4 ' Dotoch , g- sere, 17th o.2aet, ISO . " I had the honour of receiving ydur Note of the gth instant, communicating the handsome and public spirited offer of the Eastern Regiment of Somersetshire Yeomanry fur the continuance of their Service during Peace, on the original conditions, viz. " To serve without Pay—to assemble in the early part of every Summer for Exercise, and the preservation of Discipline—to he reviewed annually by a General Oficer—and to hold themselves in readiness to assist the Civil Power when called upon, either collettively as a Regiment, Or in single Troops, in their different Distriets, as occasion may require ;" and having laid the same before the KING, I have it in Command from Hzs MAJESTY to express the cordial satisladion with which He has received so strong a testimony of attachment to His Person and Government, as that which you have conveyed on. the part of the Eastern Regiment of the Yeomanry of the County of Somerset. " The continuance of the Yeomanry Corps, under present circumstances, has already seen recommend 2 ed in my Letter to the Lord Lieutenant' of the County of Somerset of the Toth instant; and in an sw*r to the immediate abjeEt of your Communica tion, I am direfted by HIS MAJESTY to say, that his experience of the extensive benefits derived from the invaluable Institution of the Yeomanry Corps,. has led him to consider its continuance, as far as it can be rendered Consistent with the necessary oecu. pations and conveniences of those of whom such Corps may be composed, as highly important to the Public Interest, and tinder that impression, He will at all times refled on the offer now 'made by the Somersetshire Yeomanry, with ever; sentiment of the warmest approbation. " I have the Honour tb be, &c.

ANUS POL C -OF FI C n.—Yesterday a trades_ man of the name of Huntly, was committed for trial at the next TeAt Assizes, for having in his posseS sion a quantity of new rope and rope yarns, with the King's mark on the r 4, which were found in his house at Greenwich, supposed to be unfairly ob tained. athews; a Tinnian and Braiier in' Dept " ford, was convicted in the penalty of t . 0. for having in his possession a quantity of new copper, with the King's nark thereon, and which he could not ac count for. John Smith, a reputed man of charaeter, and dealer in cotton, in East Sniitlifieldi was brought up a second time to account for a quantity of sugar, coffee, indigo, &c. found in his premises under a search warrant, and not being able to give a reason. able account as to the manner how he became pos sessed of the samei was sentenced to pay a fine of 4os. and to be imprisoned' one month. SeVeral other persons were cony ieted under the Thames Police AEI, for having in their possession sugar, coffee, and other articles, the property of the merchants. tl4 131.1 C-OF FIC P Vt#l9l4-HALL. Yesterday several Baketi were fined. in the full penalty of five shillings an ounce for bread short of weight. The Magistrate told the culprits thAri for the sake of the Public, he was determined in all cases' to enforce the law to its 11U119St =eat, THE THEATRE. C ave nt-C e ?el e n TH . E old Comedy of A Yet') Way to Pay Old DeAts was - represented last night at this Theatie, and the Character of. Sir Giles Overreach was per formed by Mr. Cooke: laboured under a very severe cold, which, however, did not prevent him from supporting the Character with considerable ability. He displayed great skill in contrasting tyranny to his interiors, with fawning servility to . those above The Charaaer of Sir Giles is such a monster as the World, perhaps, hardly ever saw, and is; indeed very inartiticially drawn, for though many an indi vidital may probably be found with as many vices, none can be supposed so absurd as to reveal them, even to his minions, with such shameless intre pidity, particularly as such a daring openness is inconsistent with the craft by which he acquired hi enormous wealth. Such an account of Sir Giles would be suitable enough to' his chara&er from any body but himself. LEWIS was very successful in Tifell-barn, exhibit. ing an easy gaily, with manly spirit and feeling. MuNDEN's 111arall was 'an admirable specimen of true eornic humour, without any buffoonery. We never saw a character, so far as it extends, better supported. There was an unpretending modesty in Bas TON'S Allworth, that rendered the part very inte resting, and it was well-ref-kited by the gentle merits of Miss Mu P.RAY, in Marg,zrct Overreach. We consider CooKE's performance of Sir Gilts Overreach, as one of his most successful exertions. It is. marked by more of his merits, and fewer of his peculiarities than any other of his charaders. There was a numerous but not a crowded. audience. MRS. BILLINGTON: MRs. ButttleroN, we are confidently assured, was much worse on Thursday night than could have been supposed, even from the very alarming account which was given by Mr. KEMB LE, in his Address to the Audience. Dr. HALIFAX happened to be in the Duke of BEDFORD'S Box, and as soon as he was informed of her illness, hastened to the spot to give her his advice. Mr. PORTER, the Apothecary, was in the Theatre, and he hurried to her to render his assistance. Her fits,. however, were so violent that for 'a considerable time, it was impossible for her to obtain any relief. She was considerably better yesterday, and is likely to be soon atilt to resume her professional labours. The 10;16w ing is the ac. count of her situation, preceding her appearance at the Theatre, as given by Mr. HEAvisIDE, the Surgeon, who attends her, .and which he eery properly submits to the Public in order to obviate the misrepresentation and prejudice which arc too likely to arise on such occasions. " On Wednesday I was sent fer to Mrs. Br f inc Ton, who complained of great pain in her arm,• and there was a considerable iutiammaticri I the :ght • I felt a ria or needle under the skin—Yesterday morning it was Toon; distinctly felt, and I took out an entire needle from just below the right shoulder—l pressed het not to attempt pertbrming last night, as she felt some pain from the operation, and the in flammation was not entirely gone.—llei• desire to gratify the Public has beer► proved last night to exceed her power, and the consequence was her being tinequal to proceed. " J. HEAVISIDE. Georp...rtrert, Ga. T... 3." In „addition to this statement it is proper to ob serve that Mrs. BiLLNoToN's arm had assumed a black appearance, which oppressed her with the ter ror of a mortification ; yet with this terror, scarcely softened by the assurances of her Surgeon, and quite in opposition to his advice, her zeal to prevent the Public from suffering a disappointment, urged her to attempt the pe:forthance of her duty, and involved her in all the unpleasant consequences which have been related. The Article itt the Treaty betwCeh Russia and France, prohibiting all political intrigues in each Country against the other; must give satisfaffion to all Europe, inasmuch as it shews a disposition on the part of the French to put a stop to their pro selYting system, or at least to respeti the Govern.: Merit of other StateS. It i to be wished, and indeed it is hardly to he doubted, that such an Article as this will he introduced in the Definiti\'e Treaties between France and other States; and hence we may hope for a continuance of the blessings of Peace Indeed such a provision is likely to be of as much advantage to France •as to Other States, for it ‘vill put a check upon the restless spirit of JAcoatNtsm, which can endure •no authority over itself, and which is always ready to burst Into atlion while it is excluded from a,share in the Go vernment. The propagation of a report, as des!; t ibed in the Seim,"lfor Scandal, was yesterday illusti a ted in the narrative of Mrs. ButimiroN's indisposition. Be fore evening it was confidently asserted; that six stackimg-nerdles and a ball of worsted had been taken out of her elbortii: The French Gentlenien Who lent their Piints and Pleasure-boats to the GovernMen't of France for the invasion of this CoLintryi have now taken, them all back again to their ponds and rivulets.-- This is the real truth of what the Mir t ister of the Marine calls the dis'armairteiit of the light Flotilla, The good people of Ireland are ofcessively alarmed 'at the idea of the Archduke ANTHONY being eluted Bishop •of Affinsier. They say that they shall have Bishops of Contrazi,ght and Leinster too, elthed without their co'nent. . Margate is beginning to empty itself very fast, so much so, that an Irish Gentleman observed a few day's ago, that there was no necessity for the Hoys to sail from London, bat only to it: EmtaritoTox's performanct in the Chafaaer of ,bleb, on the.

KELLY, one of the Repres . enuities of t7 l Guild of Merchants, rose, and spoke in very high and respeaful terms of that Right Hor;ourable tieman. He prefaced his speech by saying, he w,:s not much in the habits of fettering any great man ; that he had no knowledge Of the Right lfot; hirable Gentleman, except in his public capacity, arid that he could assure the Citizens of tidbit!), that n 4 person ever filling hiS hi/li office; had theitlritcrest more at heart ; that he could, from his own know.. ledge, state, that the abilities and laborious appi.. Cation of Mr. At; unt to the Public service; had been already produCtive of the greatest benefit to the kingdom ; that his tendering the 'reenues of the country more prodative; would UltimAtely tend to ease the people and lighten the public burthens. He lamented that the accustomed forms Of the As sembly precluded the possibility Of giving it with a gdei box; but, as he was c e rtain that Right Honourable Gentleman would arpreci.ite the coin.. Aliment paid him by the Citizens of Dial. , lite ; as he ought, he would, for the sake of ti iani,n4, be contented io Move, that the resolution sent down by the Board should be treed to, and the Assembly unanimously assented ; and Mr. KELLY, Mr. D'OLI ER, Mr. POWELL, &C. were appointed a C oal e mittee of the Commons to draw up a respectful ad dress; and that they with a Committee of Alder men, do' wait no Mr. MBoT, present the same with the freedom of the City and a silver box. [This compliment to the Right Hon - . Mr. An. nor, has'been marked and attended with circum stances highly flattering td that Gentleman. It hat been customary heretofore to eo . niplithent per,ons holding the situation he doe i 3 with their fteedom silver boxes, but we recollca no hist:trier, .previous to the present; where an address; highly flattering and complimentary,, has accompanied General HurettiNsON's Letter is the theme of panegyric with every man who, possesSeS just ideas of true modesty; and of approved talents end worth. It is eloquent and concise, yet descriptive and sa tisfoaory. While he, in such elegant terra, does such justice to the merits or. the ArMy under his corn.nand, the heart involuntarily pays himself the tribure'of the highest merit, attended by its bright ,. est ornament, unaffeded and unassuming modesty. General HurremiNsoN bein',;- a pitinger brother of a numerotis family, he seemed early destined to be the author of hiS own fortune, and no exertion was spared to bring him forward into public life with every advantage:, lie received the elements Of his classical education at Eton School, and after remaining there the tistthl number of years, he re turned to the University of Dublin for the comple tion of his studies. At ad early period, he dis= covered a parti2lity for a militarir titer and in his tgth year he was appointed an Officer in the ath Regiment of Dragoons. He afterwards served iri different Regiments of Feot, first in the 67th, and then in the 77th Highlanders: No pains were spared to qualify him for conirriand, and for this purpose he was sent to study ta6ties at the Military Academy of Strasburgh, under the best French M as i ers . Soon after the commencement of the French Revolution; he passed over to the Continent, irot himself introduced to the French . Commond(ir on the Frontiers, and had then an opportUnity of witnessing all the manuvres of his Camp: He after wards visited the Camp of the Duke of BRUNSW ICK, and seemed resolved to coUrt every occasion of in creasing his knowledge of the military art, and of perfeaing himself in the skill necessary for a great General. While he was thus cultivating his profes:. .sional studies, he was not inittentite to the state of politics .in Ireland: He was very early eleeted Member for Cork, on the independent interest, and though in general a supporter of Government, he was ever a decided friend to Catholic Einan_ cipation. When that question was; fully debated in 1789, a speech he delivered on the occasion is very creditable to his talents, and was reCard ed as a ‘very promising speeitheri of eloqtienee.— Or t he question of Union he joined Mi n i str y. puling the rebellion in Leland, he distinguished as an able, aftive, and humatie Officer; In' the whole of his conduit throughout that Un fortunate period, he gave proofs of iniiitary talenti which were calculated to be of the most essem. tial service to his Country, on whatever field he should be called upon to exert them. In the seledion of Officers to serve in the EXpedition to Egypt, it is generally understood that the opinion of the ever to be lamented AB ERC ROM'E r was prin cipally consulted; and by his recommendation, it is believed, General Hu - reittisol , .: was appointed to the rank which be held in the Expedition.

It for. tunately happened that one of the former tenants returned to the house for some article of furniture forgotten, which ;lightened the thieves, who sup posed the patrole to have got in ; in consequence of which they leaped out of the first:looi window, iind ran off without being second,
