MR. EDITOR, •
At a time, when .‘se have all, been congratulating
each other on the commencement of the fiftieth year
of our venerable Sovereign's reign, your readers will
doubtless find pleasure in-the following passages from
the letters of Miss Talbot upon the subject of his
chara6ter• in early youth. • The anecdote, related in
the first of them may be covsidered as told upon ,
the best authority, Miss Talbot having been 'cog
acquainted with the then Bishop.of Norwich, his
Majesty's Preceptor. The charaaler, given in the
other, was doubtless drawn from the representations
of persons of high rank, for amongst such Miss Tat-
bot-passed her life ; •perhaps, from those of Arch-
bishop Seeker, with whom she and her mother re-
sided.
Yours. ' X. V.

" On the '<lay following, the 13th, Colonel KoSl-
nowski was dispatched with six- SeleCt cOmpanies,',
and 50 horse, beyond Ojos Negros, where Eras hat •
been observed during the night on the tnountairi,
He, met- the.three columns of the enerny, whose
flight the march of the two companies cf VoltigeLti4
hatteffeded. The regiment of the Princess made
an etfort to defend ; but our celumn
sight, made it disperse like the reSt. It was purr -
sued, sword in hand; from mountain to Mountain;
for more than a league, without being overtak-
en ; a good deal -of their baggage, however, Wai
taken: The troops displayed an ardour and a perse:-
verance, amidst their fatigues which the Commander .
`in Chief cannot sufficiently praise. He applauded
the resolution and firmness of Colonel Kotitiowski;
and the rapid movements of General Chlonecki._
" On the 16th the garrison of MegUinenza,twhich
had been repulsed on the'pth and 10th, at Flaw, by
Col. Boquelle, sent a reconnoitring party towards
Candasnos. On the saute day 1400 men reinoe,l
from Batea towards Caspe, where Col. Depeyrout
was at the head of the first battalion of the 115th, and
took at first a position near the Capuchins. The Col.
confident of the superiority which French aoldiers al-
ways have, when determined, over troops of the ene--
my, even though more numerous, did not hei,itate to
attack them immediately with vigour. His com-
pany of grenadiers, who were ordered to advance,
were found sufficient to seize the position, to thro
[',the enemy into confusion, and force ilnon to
shameful flight, after having lost seventy tt
killed, and several prisoners, among whom w
Lan officer: We had seven men killed, 'and to
1, wounded. Colonel Dupeyronx had his leg pierced
With a ball, but fortunately without any fraaure ;
and the comtwandor in Chief hopes that this gallall
officer will very soon be restored to his soldiers, by
whom he is loved and revered as a father. The
Commander in Chief feels much pleasure in git-;og
a •
this just tesiithony to his gallant conduct. His are:.
nndiers covered themselves with glory. This exam=
pie furnishes to the army a new proof ofthewea4ess
of those armed bands who dare make war on the
soldiers of-NapOleon, and who can do nothing; but
basely fly the moment one waits for them, or
marches against them with confidence.
" On the 12th, the Adjutant-Commandant Plique
again entered Saragossa with his column, after havirig
entirely executed the mission that had been entrusted
to him, of disarming and reducing to submission
the low pal is of Upper. Arragon, of cl4aring and
reducing the Cineo of Valles, of restoring the con-
tributions, and effecting the due execution of the
Decrees of the King in all these countries, till
now either only partially subdued, or in a state
of rebellion. Ihe battalion of the filth light in-
fantry, who _ did themselves so • much credit at the
capture of St. Jean de la, Penna, and that of the
Goth, so often distinguished by its intrepidity, gave
proofs on this occasion of constancy in bearing
tigue, and of discipi.ne and high spirit. The troopi
and their leader have equally answered the exprCla-
tions of the Commander in Chief.
The General of Brigade, Budget having set Dirt
from Toledo in the beginning of Odober, wtth a c_6,
lumn of the Bth Regiment ,of the Vistula, Scoured
the adjacent. mountains of Castile, Navarre, and Ai

assassinations. He went as far Soria,. and establish-
ed communications with the Freo-ch oroao wl

with him a great deal of live cattle, and every where

of the troops."

" I think you will be pleased with the Bishop of
" Norwich's manner of addressing himself to this
" little Prince of Wales, one • of the first times he
" was with him. , He asked whether, if he was
" setting out on a journey, he should like to gallop a
" a very little way at first, and have all the rest rug-
" ged, intricate, and tedious, or to get over some
" few difliculties at first, and gallop swiftly and
" smoothly all the rest of the way ? You see the
" application. The Prince was so pleased with his
" manner, that he told him, with honest politeness;
" he could learn almost any -thing of him.—Every
",body is delighted with this charming' boy, and
" speaks well.of hurt in every reaped."

" How shall I express to you my joy, on find-
" ittg the excellence of that charaCter, on which a
" nation's hopes (under the blessing of a still gra-
cious Providence) depend, .appearing, in every
" instance, great and small, equal to all that my
" imagination had ever formed of it ; nay, even su-
" perior. Not only a steadiness of judgment, a
" wisdom and prudence that is seldom the lot of
" such early years,. a mildness and benignity, an
" openness and sincerity, that make it equally re-
" speCied and beloved; but, what seems
,almost
" astonishing on, so sudden a transition from the
". most retired life to the most important and most
" public post, a readiness, a presence of mind, a grace
" and address, a 'propriety of ease and dignity, that
" every body is charmed with."

DUBLIN, Nov. iG.

CRANCELIA:

The CIIA*CELLOR waJ occupied; during the most
part of Saturday last, in hearing a motion, in which
the Usher's right to poundage was involved. • Lord
Powerscourt's house, in William-street, was sold to
the Crown, for the purpose of a Stamp-office.—
An Ad was passed, in 1802, direding that the
the snm should be paid by the Commissioners of
Stamps to the Accountant-General, fur the pur-
poses of Lord Powerscourt's family settlements,
and without fee or reward—it.was aceordiingly so
paid. However, a claim of sixpence per pound on
the part of the Usher was preferred ; but the Lord
Chancellor finally- disallowed the claim of poundage,
and dire&ed that Lord Powerscourt and his family
should receive the entire stun of 15,0001. without
any dedudiou whatever.
- -

It. was observed, that the entire business of paying
and receiving the suitor's money has been, for seve-
ral years, transatled solely by the Accountant-Gene-
ral, and that the Usher's claims of potindage are be-
come a very heavy public tax, and were exclaimed
against by Lord Redesdale, whilst Chancellor of Ire-
land.

Advices have been received from Catalonia, which
encourage us to hope, that the rumoured defeat of
General Blake is unfounded. No event of that dis-
astrous nature had occurred to that part of the Spa-
nish army, so late as the 20th of Odober, although it
is mentioned iu the Madrid news of two days later.
No account of it could have been received in the in-
termediate time.

Letters from America continue still to expresi an
assurance that our amicable relations with the United
States are likely to be restored on the Meeting of
Congress, on the basis of Mr. ERSKINE'S instruc-
tions. We trust this intelligence will be confirmed.
