HIS EXCELLENCY'S REPLY.
To BENJAMIN ROERUCK, Esq. Chairman, and the

other mentioned Gentlemen.

" GENTLEMEN,.

" When you did me the honour to present the
Resolutions of a Meeting of the Gentlemen under
this Presidency, I. was' not prepared to offer you a
suitable reply to the distinguished honour which the
Meeting you repreSent has been pleased to confer
upon me. Deeply affe6led. by the expressions of
regard and approbation conveyed to me from so
respectable a Society, it is in vain that I search for
words that can in an adequate degree impart to you
what I feel on so interesting an occasion ; the flatter-
ing sentiments contained in your Address, will, to
the latest period of my existence, .be indeliblj im-
printed on a grateful heart.—AccustOmed to associate
with you, and to enjoy an uninterrupted intercourse
of hOpitality and kindness, my principal obje& has
been to conciliate your friendship, and to obtain
your esteem.' With honest pride and gratitude I
shall always boast of succeeding in this laudable
design, and of having acquired the applause and
good-will of a numerous, 'generous, and highly re-
spe6ted community. The splendid gift which it was
meditated to bestow upon Me is far beyond my ex-
peaations' or wishes;
_a sumptuous present of this
kind but ill accords with my limited fortune and
!nimble views.' I cannot, however, refuse to accept
so remarkable and so munificent a token of your fa-
vour and all:cation—till. my last breath I will pre7
serve it:

To you, Sir, and Gentlemen,' permit me to
state my acknowledgments for the polite and im-
pressive manner tivith which you have complied with
the sense of the Settlement.—l ant now on the eve
of quitting India, Probably for ever.—Farewell..
" I have the honour to be,
" Gentlemen, •
" Your very faithful and obliged Servant,. •

Madras, 2Gth January, 18og. ,

Among the expedientS resorted to by the Tyro-
leans to supply the deficiency of fire-arms, was the
use 'of wooden guns. Some of these having fallen
into the hands of the Bavarians, have been-lodged in
the arsenal at Munich, whither vast crowds resort
daily to view them.
The Emperor ALEXANDER passing lately from Ka-
meniostrow to the Winter Palace, his carriage (called
a droschk) broke down ; by which accident, his Ma-
jesty's legs were much bruised, and two of his .atten-
dants. killed.

Yesterday, between one and two o'clock, a gen-
tleman entered the coffee-room of the Angel-inn, be-
hind St. Clement's church, in the Strand. He ap-
peared agitated; and, after walking about the room
for some minutes, he went to the privy. He had
not been long there, when the ostlers in the yard
heard the report of two pistols; and, perceiving
smoke issuing from the--privy, they went to it, anti
discovered the gentleman weltering in his. blood.
One of the pistols had fallen between his legs, and
the other was at his side.—Upon examination, it
appeared that he had discharged them both. The
'contents of one of them had fratinred his skull near
the left temple, in a shocking manner. The other
'appeared to have been discharged against his right
cneek. The unhappy man was however still aliVe.,
He was immediately carried into the Angel Inn, and
put to bed, and every possible attention was shewn
to him. Doctors Stanton. and Thomas were called
in, and they examined the state of his wounds, which'
they pronounced mortal.' He had not, however,
expired at t 2 o'clock last night. A. card was found
in liispockety by which he was identified to be Mr.
Abbot, an army agent, residing in Clement'i-ion.
