DEAL, APRIL 20.

The town of Deal was most brilliantly illumi-
nated last night, in honour of the late glorious
events on the Continent. The illumination's, in
particular instances, were very superb ; aufong44
them we noticed the mansions of Admirals FOLE Y
and SCOTT, the Naval Store-keeper's house, and
the residence of Mr. EDWARD IGGULDEN, which.
constituted a grand spectacle, the motto " Louis
XVIII.. Huzza 1" in variegated lamps, being on
'so large a .scale- as to occupy the whole front.
The Banks and, other buildings were appropriately'
lighted np. The 'Volunteers ltal a grand field
day, and fired rounds, in honour of the ocea-
sion, and on the whole the event WEIS saluted with
every possible degree of enthusiasm and respect.

There is a sineular trait stated Of BtroNA7ars-ra's
favourite Mannlulie. After sharpening his sword
Nvith great rare,. he'entere'd BUtiNAPARTes chain-
be;, and addressed him in words to this etlect :
" Sir,,after what ho happened, of course you
will not chuse to live-4 have brought you my
sword. NVill von use it yourself, or shall I pass it
through your body .? I eta' ready to obey your
€omuo_ucls."—NAPounti answered, that neither
of these alternatives was necessary." Neither
exclaimed the Alaweluke in surprise ; " *hat !
can you endure tile after suck a reverse ? Then, I
pray you to dispatch rue with the same weapon,
or dismiss me from your service, for I will not
live !mkr such disgrace,"—and he haughtily left
the rolm.

A Meeting was held on Tuesday, of the Gentle-
men interested in the French funds prior.to the ac-
cession of BUONAPART-e. MFJMPEY, who is.one
of the largest claimants (as representing the family.
of Sir ELI.YAti) was called to the Chair. He stated
the progress of the business connected with these
claims since the year 1802, . anticomputedthe ex- '
tent of the demands, on English account, at some-
thing; below 2,000,000/. sterling. In the sequel,
it was proposed and agreed, that a subscrip._
tion should be opened to prosecute the cttlito; that
a Committee should be, appointed to conduct the
business ; thta an A,..;ent should be resident at
Paris, who is to, be rewarded by the proportion of
one per cent. on the suns recovered—the remu-
neration not to exceed ten thousand pounds ;, and
further it was (t.:tertnined that a Memorial should
be presented to his Majesty, Loins XVIII. in
favour of these claimants. This Memorial was
prepared and. read : it stated strongly the injus-
tice of the Government undei• BUONAPARTE, con-
trasting it wiith the justice'shewn to the French
'holders in the British Funds.
