DUBLIN, JULY 2s.

CUR RAGII CAMP.

The sucampme;tWWchtoOltface on Thursday
at the Curragh. in consequence of the judicious ar-
rangement made by our aaive, vigilant, and judici.
sus Commander-in-Chief, Lord Cathcart, was car-
ried into effea with such prompt and simultaneou,
movement, as to do him infinite credit, and greatly
to stirpnsethose who are unacquainted with mikari
exaelitude.

1 he c imp consists at present of 15,000 men, re-
gular, militia, artillery, and the British horse artil
lery, together with a vast number of the Commissa-
riat, and drivers' corps.
The line commences at the boundary of the Cur-
ragh, at the right of the Stand House, and nearly
parallel with it, consisting of several regiments ot
infantry both of the line and militia. At a short
distance on the left, and below the Stand House, is
a very fine battalion of infantry. Further again on
the lett is an encampment of the Commissariat de•
partment, stretching to a considerable extent, with
abundant stores of bay, straw, oats, turf, and every
supply necessary to their situation ; and on the left
of the whole, adjoining Mr. Bowes Daly's lodge,
are encamped the following cavalry regiments, un-
der the command of General Dunne, viz. the
Queen's Bays, the 12th and 17th Dragoons, as well
as a large detachment of the British Worse Artillery.
In the disposition of those different bodies n it the
minutest coufusion or delay took place. At the
hour of twelve o'clock precisely the troops marched
Intel the Curragh in various diteßions. in 7 brigades.
each brigade headed by its respective Brigadier
General. About on• o'clock the entire line, in the
above descriSed order, was formed, and camp equi-
page delivered to each regiment, when the long roll
was beat from the entire of the right and left ot the
line, after which, in about five minute,, a camp was
erected extending in length some miles.
The deicaable state of the weather, the novelty,
the grandeur, the proud and inspiriting nature of
the scene, could not prevent a certain degree of
gloom, from the general and sincere sympathy felt
for the Commander in Chief, who had received by
I express the affileding intelligence of his eldest son's
(Captain Cathcart, of the navy) deaths who was
suddenly, on the Jamaica station, carried of by the
yellow fever.

General Floyd is to command the camp. Lord
Cath:at will be between Dublin and the Nineteen
Mile House.

The encampment i; so contrived as not to inter-
fere in any measure with the race ground.
Lieuteaant-General Floyd arrived at Clonmell on
Friday RPek, h wing completed his inspeetion of
the Southern Military District. Tuesday last. he
revle.Acl the entire of the troops which form that
garrison, on the Review Green.
The turn-out arrysngtt the journeymer. shoemakers
has occasioned c u. derable orders to be sent to
London for shoes an.t os, to the great injury of
e4:p!'iy •rs The iocrease in price of such ar-
t:des n t..e conseq tent' of the new de-
mands of the covlhioators, will be from one to two
s :things a pair en shoes, and from three to five
itlings mots. The evil will not stop here : the
.t.iVABCe in price will give a pretest to labourers and
sexy ,nrs to be lo•tking t:•r big••er wages.
Tuesday next, an a 'journment of the Q• trter
3.ssions wll Ise held before the Recorder, wire:. the
•}fence of c'lmbination is !ik ly to engage the time
of the Court the whole of that day. Cnmbinators
think, n ing of the punishment of a f,:w months
irni risonment ; to V e idle it is rather a gratificatii
as those wh, are sentenced to imprisonnaent are sup-
pulled by contribution in the gaol, and in a manner
very pleaving to thetri,elves.

It is generally understood that overtures have
been made towards an amicable termination of all
the differences which so unhappily subsist among
Dime of the branches of the ROYAL E %MIL Y. The
dutiful, affeCtionate wail dignified con.lu:t of His
Royal Highness the Prince of W•Lts, in a moment
most interesting to the E.npire, could not fail to
mare a strong and lively impression on His Mans-

with His MAItsTY, which was followed by several
conferences with the Louis Cli AC4 CLL. LOR 01 this
important subjea. It is the eat nest hope of every
loyal heart that the good offices of the noble Earl
may be crooned with speedy and perfes'i sitcc.rss.
A letter him Bhorncliffe, dated Tuesday, says:
" Our squadron Irons Dungeness sailed yesterday,
to join that off Boulogne ; we have not heard the
cause of th= heavy filing i f yesterday, but conjec-
ture a disi.ion of the enemy's flotilla were going
cilastuise to joie those at Boulogne ; the signal for
an enemy's cruiser was out on Tuesday, but she pot

MIDDLES Icli FJ.EC no

DA v.—Sir Francis Burdett. during the
early part of the day, WAS observed to poll mon.
vows than Mr. hlainwaring ; but, at the closing of
the poll the numbers stood thus :
Fur Mr. M.AinAari
Fur Sir Franci. Burdett

. . . 203
. . . 21.3

Majority fur Mr. btainwaring

Sir Francis, after the state of the p+4l had been
announced, stood forward, as usual, to address the
auditory; And spoke, in liuhs ta nee, us follows :
" Gentlemen ! In the few observations I shall
submit to your consideration, this day, I must beg
leave to observe, with much satisf.u.ction, that the
majority at present against us is greatly short of
the majorities frequently obtained by my adversary
at the last elation ; and I trust the state of the
poll will have no other effed on my fr lends, than to
stimulate their endeavours to place us in a situation
that shall accord with our best wishes. Crintles
men! when you recoiled .he number of so.. .s that
went away yesterday without neing ex imined by
the Sheriff, and those persons who would havd
polled to day, if they had not found some difficulty
and inconvenience in attending; 1 think you sill
infer, that if they had not been absent, we should
have stood higher this day than our adversary. I
have no difficulty in believing, that those freeholders,
who have not yet voted, will come up as early as
possible with their eledive franchises; and when I.
call to mind the number of persons who have said
they will come forward, and have not yet been to
poll, I cannot but entertain a good opinion of the
termination of this contest, from the support I have
to exped. Many of my friends, conscious of the
majority that prevailed against me during the late
elation, and of my success on that occasion, con-
ceive they are at liberty to suit their convenience,
by coming forward at a more advanced state of toe
poll. Such considerations account for the delay ;
and when we recoiled how the poll stood upon the
ninth day at the last ele&ion, and hose it stands
now, we may fairly say, that Gentlemen may con-
sult their convenience, as to the time of coming ;
but whether they come early or late, I know there
are a body of men in my interest who have not
hurried, under an idea that it will be time enough
to afford assistance at any time during the fifteen
days of this contest. I wish, however, they would
put up with some inconvenience, and endeavour to
accelerate our triumph, by corning to the hustings
as early as they can. I am obliged to the free-
holders, and my friends in general, for feeling a
necessary z upon this occasion. We know the
nature of the contest between each party, when there
is no motive big a voluntary spirit of independence
on one side, and on the other interest and corrup-
tion. We should not be surprised if they bring
their forces against us even more numerous than
hitherto. Unequal as this contest is, regard it as I
do ; regard it as a contest for the freedom of the
county (Load oisp/asses). It is not a contest against
me as a candidate, but against the liberty of this
country. V ere of Na I No! by Mr. Maiitearing's
friend., ruble red ! Tee I reminded from the popa.lecr.)
" Gentlemen, the persons around who have Inter-
rupted me on this occasion,have constantly asserted
the other candidate should be heard, and I have al-
ways been anxious that he should have fair atten-
tion paid to hills ; but this attempt on their part to
prevent me from addressing you, spews they have
no retard for order. (hes?re ! haw !) I shall take
leave of you with repeating, I regard this as a con •
test against the independence, liberty, and rights
of Englishmen ; and while there is one foot of-tet
land to stand on, I for one will Lever relinquish it."
Loud and repeated cheering followed for a con-
siderable time, during which Mr. Mainwaring made
an effort to speak. Ile commenced, with stating
his satisfadion at the state of the poll; but the usual
clamour continued, notwithstanding Sheriff Shaw
endeavoured to obtain silence, and he quitted the
hustings, without being able to proceed. No no-
velty occurred among the

No further accounts have been received at the
India Home respeaing the homeward-bound ( hina
feet ; but the account of an engagement havirg
taken place, is gemrally believed there. Ships arc
daily expefted to arrive from several parts of India,
which will shortly relieve the public anxiety.
The son of a gentleman of the Custom-housr, at
Plymonth, arrived on Monday, from Morlaix, where
he had been at school. He and two other young
gentlemen were suffered to return to their native
country, together with a Mr. Foists, a merchant
of Lord-n, who had been detained since the begin-
ning of the war. The recent changes in the French
Government are said to be fir from agreeable to
the people, who in private deliver their opinion
very freely. Never, even under RODif PILULE. was
the system of erpionage eanied on to a greater ex-
tent in private families.
On Wednesday a meeting took place at Kersal
Moor, between Mr. J. L. Nati PS and Colonel
Haresos, in consequence of a publication of the lat-
ter which appeared in the newspaper of Tuesday.
when Mr. CoMPTON waited on Colonel HANSON for
an explanation of mine parts of it. This being re-
fused, the meeting was proposed by Mr. COMPTON
at eleven o'clor A ti e next day, and acceded to by
Mr. J•CKSOS on the part of the Informa-
tion had however been obtained by the Magistrates,
and when the parties arrived at the ground, they
were put undir arrest by Mr. NADIN.
A f4elt abet &worn to h georrolly ism:a
took place some days ago in France. The Ptetea
of the Department of the Seine had ordered, that
berate any person who died shoule buried, the
body should be examined by the Faculty. The
death of an industrious man being announced to
ivil Government, in the usual form, Metre ex-
amined the body. He ordered the .:•-.apes to be
removed ; and. eirtat the Cresol, felt an unusual
heat. He then employed the usual muscitatise
plan, upon which he observed a faint motion of the
eyes and eyelids—By cont:nuing his exertions. the
