Sir WILLIAM SCOTTi it seems, has purchaSed the
elegant add Splacious mansion in.the Green-Park,
which' relonged to the late MILES ,PETER AN-
DREWS, ESA. ' This mansion was originally built
by Lord CIIIENVILLE ; it is leasehold, and bas,22
years to rim. ' Sir WILLIAM SCOTT. bought it by
private contract for 12,0001. including part of
the furniture and stables--a price which, it is
said is'inuch 'below its value, and it is alleged that
it went so- cheap because it-was not duly adver-
tized' in the public prints. We know not what
truth there is in this allegation, but it is 'ter-
tainly somewhat strange, that when the posses-
sors of valuable property wish to dispose of it
they do riot take care to have their purpose duly
Communicated: ,
The Official Documents and Papers belonging
to the Army whilst tinder the command of the.
Duke 'pf WELLINGTON
.(lately arrived in large
packages), are to he deposited and preserved at
the Horse Guards. , • -
We hear Colonel MACDONALD, late Military
Secretary to Lord NioDaY, ,has resigned his ap-
pointment Of Deputy-Adjutant-Genvral to the
forces in Scotland.
We understand that Captain HALL, a Naval
Officer, who has been eminently distinguished in
the service of his country, is appointed to succeed
Sir JAMES YEO, in the command on Lake On-
tario, Who is obliged to retire On account of se-
were indisposition.
A small expedition, it is said, will.probably sail
from Plymouth in a few days, consisting. of the
Norge,'of 74, and the Dover and Alceste frigates,
with troops, for America. The. 43d, 93d, and
95th regiments, which were reviewed on Monday
at Plymouth-Dock by his Highness Prince FRE-
DERICK •of ORANGE, will, it is staid, constitute
part of the expedition.
It is ascertained that more than twelve hundred
passports have been obtained in London from the
French Ambassador in the course of the last fort-
night, .rod almost exclusively by persons belong-
ing to the middle ranks of society.
, - According to an Act of Parliament passed dar-
ing the last Session, - it is provided, that the Mi-'
chaelmas Quarter Sessions are in future to be held
on the first week after. the I Ith of October. The
election of Overseers of -the Poor is also to take'
place within 14 days after Lady-day; ,
An inquest was held at D'righlington, on Thurs-
day, on the body of George Best, who was found
hanging on a tree—yeidiet, Lunacy.—We under-
stand the deceased was one of the deluded disciples
of the inipastor Joanna SOuAcott, and- had just
been attending one of her conveniicles; A disciple
of this said Foanna; at Htinslet,- near this town,
has wagered his two pigs against their keep for
ten weeks, that Joanna will be delivered of the
Prince of Shlew,on or before the 27th of next
month.----,(Lceds Intelligencer.) .
GREAT PERFORMANCE.—A race, which excited
lunch sporting interest, took . place on.. Tuesday,

goons. The distance to gallop was 12 miles. The
