pmen t tlie dispatch contairuiti t 4 of
the affair, we considex intreoessary to I'M.. h. The
dittpalett also states, that many were farteilltlown pre-
and otherwise destroyed, whicli die Colonel
deeply lament*, as many women and children,
wishing to follow their husbands and &tilers, inet
with a similar rite, and were destroyed. One of the
rebels, as they arc called, being .about to fall into
the hands of the victors, killed his young *Ono the
Litter being at the time almost dying from want.

If any thing can assuage the anguish of such
grief as suddenly hefel the Prince LEOPOLD, it is
the sincere sympathy in his sorrows which has been
evinced by the nations- and the affectionate respect
which has been paid to the memory of his beloved
and lamented Consort.
Not satisfied with mere ekpressions of laments•
Lion and condolence for her lose, or the usual for.
malities of outward mourning, they are expressing
the deep sorrow of their hearts by a hosting testi-
mony of the admiration and esteem they bore the
Princess, whose Monument, with loyal and retiree,-
fol zeal, all are uniting to erect. It is highly !alb-
factory to see that the progress of the stilkeliption
is becoming unite general in all ranks of society,
and in all quarters of the United Kingdom ; for it
must be remembered, that great numbers must
contribute their mite before a Monument at all
suitable to her dignity, or to the general feelings of
the community, can be raiser! ; and as future ages
may measure the extent of those feelings by the
grandeur of this mark of respect to her memory,
we would wish it to be vast indeed ; but at any
rate would lament to see a Monument or ordinary
scale, or one That might degrade the exulted per-
somige whose memory it was itteod.d to honour.
had it been a subject of the mere liberality of
the nation, as in the German charity, the %Vaterloo
subscription, &c. we know that the sum would
have been immense; and we doubt not their admi-
ration of her amiable qualities will prompt them
equally to display their loyalty and affection.
The Church, the State, the Nobility, the Army,
the Navy, all *hew their zeal in this cause; and
we observe the subscriptions of several societies,
and from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Windsor, Bath,
Leith, Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Plymouth, York,
Staffird, Shrewsbury. Chester, Rochester, Col-
chester, Chichester, Heiman, Retry St. Edmunds.

It i, ootain that the PEisnws had taken in
battle two (Akers of our army ; but in coma querice
of the prodamations issued, declaring it determina-
tion to retaliate, in the event of any cruelty prac-
tked by the enemy, it is not sopposed that they had
hero put to death. It is, we fear, equally certain
that C VAUGHAN, of the Madras infantry,
and his brusher, a free mariner, were surprised as
tiny were ermeiiia the country from Bombay, by a
ttootionent of the PE131111% A's army, and hanged
on the sput.

It is still uncertain whether or not the Concordat
will this year be discussed iii the French Chambers.
France will. therefore, remain without a Concordat
for Nirolier year, and in this state of things she
will have different kinds of clergy—the clergy of
178 S, the constitutional clergy of 1791. the clergy
of BONAPART6'B Concordat in Idol, and the
clergy of the new Concordat.
Mr. A LI.AN, one of the members for the city of
Durham, arrived at Grange on Friday moo 11l tt g
last. •' No sooner," says a correspondent, " was
this known at Durham, than a number of ardent
spirits set out immediately too see him, charged by
their friends to bring him to Durham without de-
lay. He left Darlington on Saturday afternoon,
after having cativas,ed that town. where, of 15 free-
men, four were plumpers. trine were soling. and two
have promised no candidate yet. On the worthy
Member's approach, he was met by the trader'-
harmers, music, itcc. The horses were taken from
his carriage, and he was brought through the town
in a state of triumphant pmcarsaion. He addressed
his friends front the deft% at Munro, and told them
that the canoe of Ina. delay was unavoidable, and
arose from his hoeing pledged himself to support
the repeal of the &Prather and salt duties. He said
he was not dismayed by the appearance of a con-
t.rt, neither was he stormed ut the start the other
candidates had got in their canvass—that lie knew
the freemen were neither to be carried by storm
nor surlrriso•-that he was ready and willing to give
them ermoher opportunity of asserting their Orate-
penaleauris believing he had the honour of thei►
support and cosititlence—und that he never wished
to be returned again to Parliameot, except lie wps
scut thither as the independent representative of
freemen. IVe treed not odd, that this declaration
was received with uumrsil shouts of approbation."
