ir.g His Majesty very soon in th midst of us ; and
I have. even the pleasure to inform. you. that it is
his intention to return to his kingdom without delay,
to which he is called by the interests of his people,
as well as by his own desire.
" His Majesty wished to defer the convocation of
the Legislative Body, in order t ) be present at the
time but willing to conform to the letter of die
Constitution, Hi. Majesty has charged me to call
you together to-day, in his name.
" Gentlemen, you will there6tre resume your
high office. The sittings of their High Mightinr.ses,
which must take place at this time of the year, are
always important : this year- they will have to deli-
berate upon the public expenditure, and the means
tor meeting the exigencies of the State.
" Without doubt, other proposals, and possibly-
some important communications respelling the pre-
sent state of affair;, and the consequences likely to
result from them, will engage your attention during
the present sitting.
Conseqoently, the sitting which I have now the
honour to declare opened in His Majesty's name,
may be one of the most important, and afford you
heat opportunities of testifying your zeal and devo-
tion in His Majesty's service; and you will there-
fore co-operate with His Majesty in promoting the
prosperity of the kingdom. May your efforts and
your deliberations, under the blessing of Heaven,
be crowned with the most happy issue; and may
they give you new claims to His pajesty's confi•
dente, and the gratitude of the nation
" I have only to add, that His Majesty's absence
has prevented several projeds of laws, and other oh-
jeds, from being ready to be laid before you t I am,
therefore, charged to inform yoo, that His Majesty,
by a decree of the Bth instant, has judged it con-
venient that the sittings of the Legislative Body,
sun.moned for the ltith instant, should be adjourned
to the first of December next."

the Pritnner, ttpon the '

against
Isr Charge, are of opt son, that he is Guati;s of the
crime therein 1,41 against him.
The Court, having duly and maturely weighed
th-evi leti:e, for and against the Prisoner, on the 2d
Charge, are of •pinion, that he is Guilt!, of the crime
laid to his chargn.
The (7,,utt, having duly and maturely weighed
the evidence, fir and against the 3d Charge, are of
opinion, that the Prisoner is Gatiltft of the crime
therein laid.
And the Court is further of opinion, that the
Prisoner is G‘rifi.y of their-4 part of the 4th Charge,
as he remained in the card-room in dis,bedience to
the orders of his Commanding Officer ; but the
Court is of opinion, that he is Not thrifty of the
inns part of the charge, namely, following Sur-
ge•se Brown and his wife returning home, and
grossly and wantonly insulting them in th- street.
The Corm is further of opinion, on the /hied part
of the said Charge, viz. returning to the Nla,liion
lions", being contrary to the orders of hi.; Co;n-
manding Officer, that the Prisoner is Guilty of that
part of the Charge, but that he is Nut Guilty of pub-
licly insulting the corps, and challenging some of
the Officers to gin with lists.

The Court does, therefore, in consideration of
finding the Primmer Guilty of the Ist, 2d, and 3d
Charg.-, and of the /fret and third part of the 4th
Charge. being a breach of the Articles of War, ad-
judge the Prisoner to be Cashiered.
l'he Court, before it finally closed its proceedings,
thought it necessary to remark upon some circum-
stances that came forward in the course of the trial;
namely, upon the extraordinary circumstance of the
Prisoner being ordered to wear his coloured clotl)es,
while an Offer, under arrest, in the Bth Regiment,
and in the quarters of the sa.d itegiment, on which
the crime, specified in the 2d Charge, is founded ;
and thought it also nee y to m.tice the unjustifi-
able condua of Assistant-Surgeon Brown, in regard
to the Prisoner. as it appeared in evidence.

With deep concern we sate, that Mr. PITT
died, yestetd.iy afternoon, at his villa, near Putney.
Several dispatches had been received from the
persons in attendance upon him, by his friends in
town, between eight o'clock in the morning, and
four in the afternoon. A tenon of his death pre-
vailed upon the arrival of the first of the expresses,
and each succeeding one only gave strength and
extent to its circulation. The report produced a great
sensation, but even at a late hour last right it was
not universally believed that he was aft's:ly dead.
By none, however, was his recove; y considered p-)a-
-01)1e. Those who did not state him dead, believed
iarn dying. Fur our cwn part, his death has been
ached to us by such respeaable and competent
itlioritv, we cannot withhold our credit from it. The
coetretry reports lose much of their weight, when
we consider the greet space which he filled is so-
ciety, and the various motives that may exist,
for restraining an abrupt disclosure of an event
upon which so many and important changes depend.
Among these has been stated respell to MS MA..
Jest- v, and the fear of giving him a shock, by the
sudden disclosure of the death of a Minister so long
and pre•eminently honoured with his confidence.
His MAJESTY will come to town :o receive the Ad-

Ma. Rems—ln consequence of Captain ClitaN
row's remarks, inserted in some Papzrs of this day,
I have to request you ccill insert, in your neat, CI?.

following, viz.
" 'Elsa written proposal, alluded terby Captain Clithemw to
have been given him by Major-General Nate, was, to the best
of the General's reeolleeinn, delivered at the Red Lion, at
Barnet, mil there acted upon. Genets( Eire's motive for being
clear on this point, is, 'hat the paper was written by Mr.
Wharton, at the Red Lion, for the spacial purpose of General
Ei.te's using it, in case an interview between hint and General
Burton's second should take place, before the patties went to
the ground; and such an interview did take place. It might
also be adverted to in the brit to that General Este will
not speak decidedly ; nor, in his opinion, is the ilititical spot
material, as the conduct of Generil Barton, on the. occaiien,
is admitted, as Captain Clitherow states that he totally rejected
the terms of it.
General Este cannot charge his memory with Mr. Whar
bin's having used the words, " It is but too true ;^ and which
G'n'ral Este does nut think to he material, as the fact to
which they allude, vie. Mr. Wharton's Letter to one of his
Constituents (Mr. Lundy) denying the existence of a coalitiun
between hint a.td General Burton—is fully established ; Mr.
Whartc.n having immediately after he bad written that Let-
ter, transmitted a copy of it to General Burton; and on which
co;iy General Burton grounded his reflections on Mr. Vi bar-
tuna's conduct,

" General Este, cannot, for a moment, doubt, that General
Burton was the first in the proposal of shaking hands; and
Captain Clitherow must recollect his admission of the fact, in
the presence of Mr. Wharton, at the I .st meeting between
Captain Clithemw and General Este, on Wednesday last, in
Portland street. In coahrreaturn of the fact its:lf, General
Este has to observe, it was the very cheurastante that fixed
his mii.d, until then undecided, on the advice he was to

give.
" General Eau does not recollect any qualification. by Ce-
ilerAl Burton, at the time of off:ring hands ; Gcneial Este re-
garding the circumstance as an unreserved and complete It..
conciliation."
I have now, Mr. Editor, to apologise for hay-
ing so long intruded upon the Public with a cir-
cumstance, which I, from the first, regarded as
wholly of a private nature ; and, therefore, not
calculated for public discussion ; and which I never
shaull have engaged in, but from the motive
stated in my former publication.

A Captain of a ship, just arrived from Elsincur,
reports, that when lie left it, accounts were re-
ceived, that an alien had taken place between the
Rui.iais and French, in the neighbourhood of Posen,
in which the latter were defeated with great
slaughter. The Russian army consisted of 140,000

For some days workmen have been emplolied,with
extraordinary aCtivity, in the ere lion of new works,
in the island of Buderich. The plans relating to
the extension of the fortress, are very extensive.
When they shall be all executed, this place will
form !•ut one town with Buderich, situated on the
left bank of the Rhine, and also with the island of
the same name, communications will be formed
by means of bridges. Budeticb will be surrounded
with four bastions, and another separate work ; the
whole combined will form one of the strongest
military places ih Europe.

The alarm at first occdsioned at Lisbon by the
sudden appearance of an English squadron in the
Tagus, seems to hare subsided, if we may give
credit to letters from the Portuguese capital, dated
August 20th. As yet, the real motive of the Eng-
lish for entering that river is not known with
certainty; it is, however, imagined, and not with-
out foundation, that their objea was to watch the
return of a French squadron, but that they have
been deceived by false intelligence.

COVENT•GARDEN.
A considerable interest was excited yesterday, by
a report that Mr. Cooice had arrived in town, and
was determined to dispute the possession of the part
of Sir John Foi‘taff; with Air. STEPHEN KEMILE,
whom the bills of the day announced to play that
charatier, in the First Part of Henry the Fourth. At
an early Your, the }rou-t was filled with company,
but the expe&ed sport did not take place, and Mr
STEPHEN KEMBLIS went through the part in his
usual style. He has a most corral conception of
the part, but wants the natural humour and rich
mellowness designed by the Author. It is a strong
VA dry pestorraance, and may be called Mr. S.
Kamat.x's Fataiatf, not SHANSpEARE'S. We have
always considered his scene with the Prince of tr..h,
where he pretends to have killed Hotspur, as Isis best
,fort. Mr. KxhiaLL's Hotspur is beyond p4ne-
gyric, and the Ptinee of ;Inlet could not be made
more interesting than by Mr. C. Kraal. e. Miss
VILODY. in Lady Perry, was not deficient in spit it
and good-nature. Mr. KENN v's admirable Farce of

a hurricane of applause.

This was an aaion against the Defendant, for
having in his possession a tunnel net for the catching
of partridges, contrary to the statute of Queen
Anne. The faS of finding the net at the De-
fendant's house was proved by one of the Duke of
York's gamekeepers. The net was produced, and
it appuered to have been recently used, as a great
many partridges feathers were sticking to it.

stated, that they were ready to embark in the trade,
and engaged to supply the West Indies, during the
war, provided they hail the support of the Privy
Council.
Earl TEMPLE said, that he, as Vice-President
of the Board of Trade, had made every inquiry
possible, and thnngh he had had interviews with
several of the Irish merchants, who exerted them-
selves to the utmost, still the supply was not ade-
quate.
Mr. ROSE said, lie drily stated what he had
been told, and he could inform the Noble Lord the
names of many cf the roost respeetable merchants
in London, who were his authors.
Sir C. PRICE explained.
Mr. I3ARHAM thought the Rt. Hon. Secretary
had placed the question iu a proper point ref view.
It was merely whether the power of judging should
be transferred to the Privy Council, rather than per-
mit it to remain with the Governors : he, for one,
conceived the Privy Council was the better place
to let that power rest, and he therefore would sup-
port the motion of his Noble Friend.
Sir WM. CURTIS thought, upon all considera-
tions, it would be most adviseable to refer the
matter to a Committee.
Mr. Secretary FOX shortly explained ; when,
after a few observations from Mr. Jeffery and Mr.
Percival against the measure, the Resolutions were
read and <Tried to.
The House being resumed, Mr. Alexander
hreught up the Report, and leave was g yen to
bring in a Bill pursuant thereto.
