THE NATIONAL

The trepleasant disagreement which took place
between the Limerick City, and Nottingham County,
Militia, in the Barracks of the city of l~~blin, and
whit h excited So the& Aitethikliment and regret in
the riiinds of all those who look to. the cordial and
aealous co-operation of all descriptions-of force for
the efficient defence and. ultimate security of the
Empire, has, we .ire happy to say, been as speedily
and satisfactorily terminated, as it was precipita'ely
and passionately commenced. When a difference
of such a description, originating in misapprehen-
sion and folly, and calculated to produce the most
serious and extended mischief, has been wisely and
esasonably accommodated, it can answer no, good
purpose to inquire with any minute curiosity into its
immediate origin, or to endeavour to ascertain from
the formidable nature of the effect that might have
ensued, the criminal or even only culp:ible charac-
ter of the cause that might probably have produced
it. It is enough to know, that .he danger has been
averted; ai:d the attempt to develop the particular
springs and soluces from which it proceeded, would
be wore likely to keep alive or revive the dissention,
toan lead to any measures for preventing irs recur-
rence. In every contention between iudividoals of
a?gregate bodes, extended subsequently to the
whole of such bodies, it is absolutely impossible
that either side could be faultless. Looking, there-
fore, to the.case before us as one .in which, which-
ever may may have been the aggressor, both must
have been in some ~.le.toee culpable, we cannot but
contemplate the happy termination of this disagree-
able affair, as separately honourable to the 'two
corps, and generally gratifying and beneficial to
the Empire.

linonaparte was so clearly visible, in the affair of
tht,gun-boats with the Naiad, by our Officers' glasses,
that not only every part of hi; dress, but his irri-
table actions, were plainly distinguished. Ho wore
that day a blue coat, with scarlet cliffs and collar,
a pair of nankeen pantaloons over half-boot,, a
plain cocked hat, without any cockade, and a silk
handkerejef round his neck. They represent his
figure as very flashy, pirticularly dOwnwards. He
was t ,i;dy within the range of our shot for some
time, and was observed to b_ giving directions to
his Officers on board his barge with considerable
emotion:
