CENERAL ORDERS.

" Ilead-Quarter:s, Monte Videop Feb. 4, ISa7.

" The Commander of the Forces, When he re=
fleels 'on the, very extraordinary exertions. and
.the
superior gallantry of th army yesterday, when he
adverts to the important consequences that have re-
sulted from their skiccess, is at a loss for Nvord!'i.to ex-
press his seuse of •their services. He was aware,
when he pointed them to the assault, that they had
great difficulties to surmount and dangers to brave,
but he could not foresee the almost impra6ticabilitv
of their gaining an .entrance; or the obstinacy and
skill of the defence ; but nothing could withstand
their determined bravery, and their country has ob-
tained, by their val Our, the important fortress of
Monte Video.

" Though every Corps was equally brave and
equally forward, it was the glorious lot. of the Rifle
Corps, the Light Infantry, the Grenadiers of the
38th Regiment, first to mount the breach, and first
to rush into the town. His thanks are thertOre, in
thq first place, due to them, and particularly to their
leaders; to Major Gardner, of the Rifle Corps; to
Lieutenant-Colonel Brownrigg and Major Trotter,
of the Light Battalion ; to Major Campbell and Ma-
jor Tucker, of the Grenadiers; and to Lieutenant-
Colonel Vassal and Major Nugent, of the 38th.
".These Corps were most ably supported by the
40th Regiment {under Major Dalrymple); which,
with the greatest coolness and gallantry, passed twice
through the euemy's deStruCtive tire to-rind out the
breach ; the. 87th •Regiment. (under-Lieut. Col. But-
ler and Major Miller) were equally, foi-.l,ard,. and,
to t.“2ir great credit it must be noticed, that though
they were posted at ,the North Gate, and Nvcre to
rush into the town when it should be ovened by ;ire
troops that entered at the breach, their ardoUr would
not allow them to wait—they scaled the walls, and
opened theinselves a passage.
The dis Positions for 'ate attack, and the com-
mand of the tioops employed, were entrusted to
Col. Brown c. anti the General has, particular plea-,
sure in assuriho- that vaivable and gallant Officer,
that he is entitled to his best thanks for his judgment
in planning them, and cool gallantry in executing
them.

Gratified as the General certainly is, at the
honours gained by the Troops under his command,
he feels most severely: the loss of the gallant soldiers
who fell : tlesegrets more particularly the death of.
Major Dalrymple, of the 40th, and the severe
wounds of Lienti-Colonels Vassal and Brw.vnrigg
and he assures those Officers, that though he shall
derive in'uch comfoyt when any wounded Officer is
reported Well, their perfea recovery is the objea of,
his greatest anxiety and wan-nest wishes.
J. BRADFORD, Dept. Adj.-Gen."

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'sBENCH, APR It 2Z.

This being a sppcial paper day, the Court was 00-.
cupied chiefly in legal arguments, most of Which are
wholly uninteresting to the public. In one of therni
however, Scott v. g:holey, a question arose with re-
spe& to an equity of redemption in a term which was
the property of Mr. Colman, hi the Theatre at the
Hay-market. An execution being issued against
Mr. Colman, the Sh,triff was required to sell this
equity of redemption ; but not thinking it the sub=
ject of an execution he returned nulla bona, and
whether this return was right was the question. The
case was argued at much length, and inVolVed some
very difficult points, upon which the Court declined
giving judgment till a future day.
We shall report it when the Judgment is 'given,

- Mr. GARROW Moved for a criminal information
against a Mr. Williams, an Attorney of Monmouth,
fOr a libellous charge against the Grand Jury of the
County. It was stated that Mr. W. having a bill to
prefer at the Assizes applied to the Grand Jury just
before they were about to suspend their sitting, and
go to dine with the Judge. The Gentlemen inforni
ed him of this circumstance, and told him to prefer
his Bill in the evening, when they would attend to
'it. In the mean time he dismissed one of the wit-
nesses, and upon the Grand Jury returning,fiom the
Judge's lodgings, and going into the investigation of
,the case, they had some di ffidulty as to finding the Bill,
:upon which they applied to the Learned Judge,'Mr,
Baron and he advised them that if the
absent witness
s"
i°slr '
appeared to be-necessary. to 'complete
the chain of evidence, they should throw' out the
Bill, and leave the parties to prefer another.• Upon
this advice • the Jury very properly acted, and ac-
cordingly did throw out the Bill. Insfead, of with-
drawing satisfied, as he ought, of the propriety Of
"i
the cOndud of the Jnry, Mr. Williams 'became.
violently enraged, con., tated himself in the .most
outrageous manner, and issuedfortb into the market-
place, accused the Grand Jury. of gross miscondu&,'
and said that he expected to find them Gentlemen,
but they had not acted so.—A Rule Nisi was granted.

The ancient mythologists styled poverty—or what,
at the Present wra, we more delicately term humble
circumstances, a hydra—a very dragon ; frOm which.
originated the classical epithet, " iron care." Now
it happens quite opportunely, that many a chance
will be afforded to-morrow, to several indi‘iduals,
so circumstanced, perhaps, of conquering this meta=
phorieal hydra—indigence ; and this, too, on the
anniversary' of the day when St. George of England
slew the Dragon. The 9.0,0001.. Prize, to-Morrow
morning, to the first,drawn number—the chance,
besides, of ail the floating Capitals, with, moreover,
101. to every number drawn, all combine to illus-
trate these remarks.

YORK AUR 1L 18.—A shocking accident hapPen-
ed at Smiths,. on Tuesday last :—Hannah Grundy,
of that place, a fisher girl, and three others, having
gone under Roacliff, to pick shell-fish to bait fisher-
men's lines with, and being too soon for the tide,
they sat themselves:down upon the beach, about 40
yards from the base of the eliff, Which is there about
six or, seven hundred feet high. While in this situ-
ation a fiat stone fell down from the top of the cliff,
and s'ruck this girl with its edge Upon the fourth
vertebra' of the neck, and, dreadful to relate, sever-
ed her head from her body, without mangling it,
Mid threw it to the distance of 30 yards from the
place where she was sitting.
