The contrast between the ProclatUatiop addressed
by General STUART to the Calabrians„ and Ereiich
Proclatuationsi is a sfrikins proof;. in addition to a
thousand others, of the superior liberali►y of the

British character, compared with that of pur Gallic
Foes.—ln that Proclamation he earnestly entreats
the Calabrians to treat their Prisoners well, and even
extends his generous regard to humanity so far as
to- promise to give a handsome reward for every
Prisoner condtiaed in safety to the British , In
the French Proclamations nothing but the severest
vengeance, is held forth to " the perhdious Etialish,"
as we are styled by the Most perliaious people on:
earth ; and the:general purport of them is to excite
•
the most bitter animosity against us, that %.ve may all
'be obliged to " bite the dust" ! !
On Tuesday last, at Alnwick, the Duke of
TauMBEELAND reviewed the Percy. Tenantry
Volunteer Cavalry, and the Brigade of Artillery de-
tached to the Corps. His Grace was attended by the .
Duchess and the Ladies PERCY, in their carriages.—
'The Duke expressed his approbation of their line ap-
pearanee (they were in their new clothing and hel-
mets) ;. of their steadiness, heir rapid movements,
and • close wheeling ; in short, in every point of
view they did extremely well, except in the charge,
which' was not so compact as it shouldle. The
Horse Artillery supported the advance,, or cover- '
ed the retreat of the Cavalry in their rarioui•evolue
tions ; and was served in a superior. styie, both
when it saluted the reviewing General, and when it
acted Mahe field. The Duke, atter the Ret:iew,
entertained in a most princely manner, the Officers,
at. Alnwick Castle, :and the men were ordered a
'dinner at their quarters:.
Captain
_HotcroN, of His Majesty's,Ship Princess
of Orange, gave on Tuesday last, in the Downs, a
Public Ilreakta,t to a seleCt party ; among whom me
observed ,LadyHAV/KESEU Mrs.HoLLOWAY,Mrs.
PAYNE, Mrs. NUGENT, Mrs. MEAK, Miss DAVERS,
Mi se; HOLLOv AY, Misses CARTER, Miss' MEAK,
and several Ladies whose names 'we have not learnt.
Gentlemen . Vice-Admiral HOLLOWAY, MajOr-
General PAYNE, Colonel Waii ratromacaroa; Cap-
tains lIETNOLDs, BAXER, 11(.1).;s0N, WRIGHT,
LI-
ARDET; and the Offieers of the Princess of Orange.
The qUarter-dtck was fitted up in a handsome style
tier the occasion ; the band of the 9th Light Dragoocis
attended; a guard of Royal Marines was drawn upon
.the' quarter deck, to pay the military honours; on th,e
approach of the Vice-Admiral's Barge, the drums
beat to quarters : after the General and Admiral had
received the usual compliments they avaiked round '
the different decks of the Ship; the Princess of Orange
being cleared for :idiot], the artillery on the main and
lower decks was seen to great advantage, and im-
pressed an awtsaY effect on the mihd of the fire from
such a battery. Lord and Lady HAWKESBURY, with
Mrs. PAYNE, Miss DAVERS, and several other Ladies,
viewed the provisions, various store-rams, and ma-
gazine, the excellent order of which gave latitude for
surprise and admiration. • The-company returned to
the quarter-decks 'the retreat beat, on which the de-
tachment of Marines lodged their arms in stands fit-
ted for their reception ;"the high order of which drew
attention, and had a good etfed. Breakfast was an-
nounced at 'twelve o'clOck : the cabin doors were
thrown open, which,-discovered tables elegantly set
out with fruits, ice jellies, light meats, choice
wines and liqueurs; 'chocolate, tea, and coffee, were
served. The band pidyed several loyal airs ; after
the company had partaken 'of the refreshments they
were inclined for a little amusement : Miss DAVERS
and Capt. LimataErled down the first dance, which
was kept tap with great spirit till after the sixth
dance, when the Ladies retired to the cabin and stern
gallery, where tables were supplied with fresh fruits,
&e. The company embarked in theit boats at four
o'clock, highly gratified with the handsome manner
they were entertained, and the polite attention they '
experienced froM Captain HORTON and the Officers
of-the Princess of Orange.
-Of the five wretches found guilty Of a detestable
oance, it is said that two are to be executed at War-
rinaton, and the other three at Lancaster. When
the Court proceeded to pass sentence on Holland,
his agitation was beyond expression horrible ; be
wrung his- hands, and seemed to he thrown into
most shocking paroxysm of perturbation. pro-
perty is very considerable, and his connexions in
life extremely respettable.

pounds each ; the former' not_ being of ecitial, cele-
-brity; was to be allowed five minutes, which he

bet, and_at the staking deposit. Bifield being at.the
woment short of money, be staked his watch and a
Soren-shilling-piece against 51. and another seven-

-before, them. It was not a r,:gular fire miles they
ran. It was' front the Rough, 'at Little Ealing, to
the Red Cow at Hammersmith.' Groom certainly
came 'iii first ; but Bifield Wellsaved his time of five
minutes alloWed him.
Richard Weston, in his examination' in chief,
gpiOke-to the samee-points precisely, but on his cross:
examination by Mr. AG,iit, wholly altered the case.
The- bet was made not simply, for a rutiniirk
but ividking-match ; the patties were to come
heel and *toe to the ground each time, or forfeit.--L-
Mr. Rifield, iii place of doing that, ran,right on as
long as lie-attended, which was, till he saw he had

The Judge held there could be no pretence for the
action, and the Plaintiff was
