The Court Martial on Vice Admiral Sir WM.
PARKER, was held at Portmouth on Friday and
Saturday on,board the Gladiator, Admiral PASLEY,
President. After hearing the whole case on both
sides, - the Court was of opinion that the Admiral
was justified in sending the America and Cleopatra
to the West Indies, but that he was indiscreet in
the detailed intrusions for their return within the
limits of their station ; but the Court declared the
general character of Sir WILLIAM to be such as to
preclude the idea of 14 having been influenced by
any motive not connected with the good of His MA.

We have already stated, that Marquis CORN-
WALL is arrived. at Paris on the afternoon of the 7th.
His journey thither was not the most agreeable, as
the weather, with the exception of one day, was
uniformly bad; and one of the Vessels with his
baggage ran aground near Calais. His Excel-
lency slept one night at Amiens, at the house taken
for him during his residence at the Congress.
The morning of his departure from thence being
fine, the people crowded from all parts of the town
to see him, and he was several times under the ne•-
cessity of appearing at the balcony, to satisfy their
curiosity and impatience. .Nothing could exceed
the congratulations and testimonies of respeet which
were shewn him wherever he passed.
About two posts from Paris, Lord CORNWALLIS
Was met by Mr, MERRY, with whom he entered
Paris in his chariot and four. The other carriages
followed, escorted by 150 of the finest Hussars in the
French service. The magnificence of the equipages,
and the celerity with which they passed along, excited
the astonishment of the Parisians in no very, trifling
degree. They„ had previous notice of. His_.Excel_
lency's arrival, and the streets were lined with peo.
pie. The carriages drove to the, Hotel Grange
&atelier, on the BouleVards, where a most magni-
ficent suite had 'been hired for the aecommodation of
the Embassy. It is the finest - hotel in Paris, and
has the appearance of a Palace.
O'n Sunday morning Lord CORNWALLIS was
introduced by Mr. MERRY to M. TALLEYKAND,
by whom he
,was invited to dinner, with the other
Gentlemen in his Suite. On Monday morning
he was
,privately introduced to General BONA_
PARTE, and afterwards went to see the Museum,
and the National Gallery ,of Paintings. After
taking an early, dinner at his Hotel, His Excellency
went at five o'clock to the Palace of the I'huilleries,,
where apartments had been prepared for him, to see
the illuminations. From the different aspdis of
that building, and the Gardens, His Excellency
could see the fele in many different direaions.
'On Wednesday Marquis CoßxwALLis gave a
grand Dinner to JOSEPH BONAPARTE, TALLEY-
RANb; and several General Officers of the first rank
in Paris. It was intended that Lord CORNWALL
should leave Paris this day or to-morrow, for
Amiens.

A Guard of Honour is appointed to do duty at the
Hotel where His Excellency resides, and whenever
he passes any of the Guardhouses, the Soldiers turn
out as they would for the Chief Consul, No such
attention is paid to any oilier Ambassador,'

The present seasoi will ba an xra in Lotteries :
it will also be recorded in the page of history, as the
auspicious sera of a general peace, and, our domestic
annals will note it as an sera of plenty : hence, the
present Irish Lottery will become memorable not
only as the last to be drawn in Ireland, but in rela-
tion to its coincidents—gcneral peace, and local
plenty. But will it not he further produaive of
zras in the lives of many, who, from having gained
Prizes therein, will thence date the commencement
of their affluence, independence, and prosperity ? Iti
fine, the most plenteous crop, and abundant harvest
having been fully got in, it- 'only remains to apply
the golden sickle to the Lottery harvest : harvest of
Prizes home : and a merry Christmas ! .
