FORT WILLIAM, OCT. 20, 180S.---The'sstervi on
which the troops under the command of Lieutenant,
Colonel Thomas have been employed, in the re-
served territory of his Excellency he i\Tawaub
Vizier, being fully accomplished, by the dispersion
of the rebels in Baraitch, the re-establishment of the
Vizier's Officers in the exercise of their functions,
and the arrival of the impostor, Vizier Ally, in
the English camp, the Governor-General in
Council has great satisfitaion in expressing his
high approbation of the prompt and judicious
execution of the service entrusted to Lieute-
nant-Colonel Thomas, to which the early and
complete suppression of the disturbances, and the
seizure of the ringleader, is to' be principally ascrib-
ed.--The GoVernor-General in C,,Uncil requests
that the Commander in Chief will signify to Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Thomas the sentimentssentettained
by the Government of his meritorious and success-
ful exertions on that occasion.

The.exploit performed by Capt. BARCLAY has ex-
cited great emulation among the pedestrian heroes,
but of all the Captain's rivals, the most formidable
is one who has stated his pretensions in an adVer-
tisement to the following effe6tl:
Whereas it is the general report of people, that no English.
man can perform such a,task as Captain Barclay has. Gen-

undertake, if any dentiernan will hack him, to walk 1500
miles in iloo hours, in walking one mile and a halt in every
hour. Any Gentleman willing to hick him, address a line,

A , S.IR,
As this appears to be,the sea4on when, all rt-;Metipp.
are to be sblved,, and the Secrets of the (nqt Ai-, bion)
,honse, to be disclosed, may I request you to ez/iJair4
to 'that credulous: being' John Bull (who..betieyed
you Patriat'because you Said tyoti :isfere, one, but
whose good-nature is not to be twice imposed npon,
at least
.by
.the same juggler) one .myStery, and one
.transkiion,.which ale still rvecesary to the, fUsitherf
elticidation of your cliaraaer ? Will you, c.Oinde‘.
scend to state why, dur;ng the last year yeti took up
yo'nr ;residence at a publicrliduce in 'Sloane-street,
under th assumed name of EroWrn,.---what were yonr
motiveonavolditiit all intercourse 'With the persons
about you,. and the purpose of those midnight and
unseasonable sallies from yoni quarters, and the anx-,
16us communications Which occupied your whole
attention until piti.s.vere destedied by
my neighbour, whb happened to call upon this h 0,7.
nest Publican, at whose hotise you had taken up
your quarters ? why did you attempt to avoid him
and deny your identity ? why did you sculk to your
garret when the landlord called you Brown, and the
honest OakhainpiOn Eleaor insisted upon your be-
ing Wardle ? and wherei after abruptly decamping
upon this discovery, did yoti retreat and conceal
yourself ? These are points you can surely now have
no objeaion to clearing up, for as charatler is 'now
out of the question, the only compensation it is in
your power to make us poor Gulls, is to lay open the
whole strings, puppets, ,scene-shifting, and ma-
chinery of the ralee-sheW) which is too tar gone
ever to be used again.
The other point on which t desire von to explain
yourself, is the motive which could induce you, after
Burdett and Whitbread, who had both offered their
services to Mrs. Clarke, had declared that with all
their labour, and with all their zeal to find matter
against the`Duke of York, they, after having pe-
rused the Papers in that Lady's possession, could
found no possible hope of bringing any thing to
bear against him; Isay, after this, I should very
much like to hear your motive explained' for stand-
ing forward upon these Very papers, with the kno4-
ledge of the Fr:taloa! -talents of those two illustrious
patriots in discovering any blot on the escutCheon of
Royalty, haVing decided against them.
It could not be, surely, that you hoped to tutor.
Mrs. Clarke; it could nut be that you trusted to
assisting the evidence of that Lady; and; yet, she
has a letter, we find, which may explain this; and
with which she threatens you ! Threatens ! Hea-
vens, that a patriot should be reduced to shew the
Means and motives of his cohdud ! This is pushing,
things too far. Be moral'and decent in yOur external
habits and confidential intimacies, ye Burdens and ye
Whitbreads have nothing to do with wicked wo-
men, or Heaven knows how ye may be exposed.---
Let Harlots drink, your beer, 'but let then' not enter
your brewery ! ! ! •

I really have to entreat your pardon for obtruding
myself upon yoU at such a moirient; when I know
you must be so perplexed with business ; but if r
were worthy to advise; I should say, boldly, cut the
Gordian Knot you cannot untie ; swear openly- what
others of your creed have written covertly, that Vir-
tue is
.but a name, and Patriotism a mask ; and if
you think such a charalier as your, friend Cobbett
boasts, better than none, cling to the skirts of hiS
(loathing; and' by changing your creed every week,
and turning your coat everyday, he will soon dis-
guise you like himself, so that nothing will be dis-
cernible but an incongruous, hiige, rosy,gilled mass
of. corruption, perfoi-ating and poisoning through
every pore the first principles of morality, the most
exalted feelings of; our nature, the real love of our
country; loyalty to our Sovereign, and allegiance to
our God. This, with calling every honest -man
rogue and cut-purse, and every thing by a new
name, may, in its operation. upon you, produce -the
happiest et-leas. • -These are. his means, and if -he
Can disguise .you in any way, it must be to your
benefit., I am, 'Sir,

Your Friend, to assist you on an emergency,
THE OAKHAMPON ELECTOR.

The following passage from one of our Lyric Bards
has been thought applicable to the Reformer, who
.was lately covered with Jacobinical Laurels, which
were in a moment blighied.
•
" Ambition this shall tempt to rise,
" Then whirl' the wretch from high—

" To bitter scorn, a sacrifice,
" And grinning Infamy."

Colonel WARDLE has sortie reason to regret that
he should have shewn so much relutaance to pay for
a desk/ which -had pleased Mrs. CLARET, and for
which she paid herself, as it is not improbable that
she wrote her answer to his letter on that very de;k,
and that the recollection of his parsimony gave a
sharper point to her sarcasms.
The Princess of WALES, the Duchess of YORE:,
and a large party of the higher order, last night at-
tended the representation of The. Foundling of the
Forest, which seems to increase in attracilon after
every pertortuance.

The Cotoic Opera of Vp all Night, at the Ly-
ceum, has shewn DowToN's powers in a new

Performers to. the public who are likely to become
favourites.—Mr. ARNOLD has in this piece contri-
buted iti no small decree: to revive the public taste
for the Old English Opera, and may lead to the re-
formation of the English Drama in general.
A new Patent has been granted for the Theatre,
in Peter-street, Dublin, which has been purchased
by Mr. H. JOHNSTON.

JOHNSTONE, of Drury-lane Theatre, and MLN•
DEN, are now performing in Dublin with great suc-
cess. The former, in addition to his intrinsic me-
rits, has the recommendation of being a native of
the soil.

There are frequent meetings, it is said,' on the
subjeCt of rebuilding oia Drury, but nothingstend-
ing to decisive measures seems to be in train. The
best plan, perhaps, would be to call a meeting of
the renters, and induce them to suspend their claims
under the patent, till • a new theatre can be erected,
for then the proprietors and performers will be kept
together, and a liberal subscription might take place
sufficient to raise an edifice equal to that which has
so wonderfully advanced in Covent-garden.
BANNISTER is now opening his Theatrical Budget,

'LAW REPORT.

'Colfitt-coF 'CEMINCERY, 1 tll. Y

1111AilSHMV V. ISHERWOOD.

This, hill had been 'filed by the Plaintiff, h poor
man, claiming an estate Tinder a very old family
Settlement, the discovery and production of wlfielt,
by'lthe Defendant, was prayed by the bill. The
cause (and the expences ofAt), Was undertaken, on
.the part of the Plaintiff, by a person of the nanie
of Newton, upon a stipulation of receiving 5001.
year out of the estate, if recovered, and who em-
ployed a Mr. Ring, .as Solicitor in the cause. In
tire progress of it, a.brother of the Plaintiff inter-
tered -a good deal ; and,. upon a disagreement with
• Newton; made an application to the Court, in
th,- name of the Plaintiff, to remove Mr. Bing from
being Solicitor 'in the cause; upcn the charges of
rielav at,dmiscanduet ; which was ordered accord-
inely. Upon This, Mr. Newton prevailed on the
Plaintiff to Make an affidavit, disclaimii'g all ktiow-
ledge of, or consent to, his brother's application, and
entirely approving of the conduCt of Mr. Ring, as
Solicitor, its the cause. The Court upon a motion
Lrouoded _on this affidavit, dis Charged its former
ordet, restored Mr. Ring as Solicitor for .the Plain-
tiff, and saddled the Plaintiff's brother with the costs
of both applications.
It was now again moved, on behalf of the Plain-
tiff, that Mr. Ring should be discharged from be-
ing his Solicitor, and that he should pay the costs
of the late and present motions. To support this,
the-Plaintiff came forward with another affidavit, in
which he swore he had been persuaded ,by Mr.
Newton to ss ear the former one without being
aware of the extent or effect of it, and imputing to
him a design of defeating the claim of the Plaintiff,
but not charging Mr. Ring with any miscondual,
but merely as !miring been employed by Mr. New-
ton, and therefore praying his removal. • •
The LORD CBANCELLOR declared, that, consi-
dering the charthers of the Solicitors of this Court
as their best possession ; and therefore, anxious to
preserve them, by Marking the smallest breach of
duty, he was obliged to make the first order upon
the charge made, and was glad to recall it upon
the second application. Upon the present occasion,
however, the Plaintiff had cause of complaint as
against New was not a 'particle stated,
that could involve Mr. Ring (of whose general clia"
racier, as a practitioner, his Lordship was pleased to
approve) in blame. The Plaintiff certainly had a
right to remove Mr. R:ng from being his Solicitor,
whenever he plea.,ed, paying him his costs, in which
his Lordship dire6ted to be included the costs of
the present application.
