[BRITISH .PRESS'.]

By accounts received yesterday, it appears_that
the French Government, proceeding regularly in
the course on which they:have entered,-have re-
solved upon a general reorganization of the•arwy,
so as to render it as nearly as possible similar to
what it was before the Revolution. The camp
now forming at Luneville will consist of regiMents
established on the ancient principle. ". The, corps
of carabineers, which used to he one of the kaest
in Europe, composed of men selected from aft the
other cavalry regiments, 'will be immediately re,
stored to its former pre-eminence. It will he in-.
creased to 1,200 men, and divided into two hattam
lions. At least 4 new regiments of dragoons will be
raised-. There will be a diminution of the: Chas-
sears, but to compensate, a new corps of lancers
will be formed. The horses necessary for .these
changes are now purchasing in Germany at high
prices and for ready money, Some speculation
as to foreign politics has been excited by these
proceeding's, which, however, are wholly refer.
able to.the internal policy of 010 French• Court.
The declaration of the Earl of Liverpool.on.Fri-
day evening with respect to the probable. 'coati-
nuance of peace, was So-clear and explicit, that
no rational apprehension can be entertaineti:
never knew a period," said his Lordship, " when
there'was -a better foundation for the hope of
permanent peace,"

A,LEXANDRIA, AUG. 12.-:(Private Correspondence.)-1
send you some farther particulars of the bold attempt made by
some Greek vessels on the Tut lash fleet, in the port of Alexan-
dria. .0n the 29th of last month, at four in the afternoon, four
small vessels, bearing a European flag, appeared in sight off this
port, three of which advanced to the opening of the port, the
fourth remaining tacking oft' and on. The pilots, as usual,
went out to bring them into the roads.. At half-past five the
.first-entered, and soon after the second. The Captain of the
port arrived to take the usual dues. . It was then perceived that
the first of these strange vessels was endeavouring to penetrate
between the Turkish ships of war ; and as a long scampania was
perceived at the same time alongside, some suspicion arose that
it might be a fire-ship. It was ordered to stop, but the Captain
still advanced, and would probably have succeeded, but then
finding himself
,discovered, he set fire to his vessel, and aban-
doned it. The whole crew got into the rAmpania, and by dint
of rowing, got out of the port. The second ?teeing this, tacked
shout and followed the scompaniq. Seven cannon shot were
tired at this- second ship. Three others were fired at it by a
French man of war, but without doing it any injury. A great
number of barks hastened in pursuit of them, but those vessels
having hoisted the Greek flag, joined their squadrons. The
fire-ship that was abandoned, was towed to a part of the harbour
where its explosion could do no mischief. At the same time,
three men of war, one of them a frigate, were put out in pursuit,
but it is not known with what success.

FOR THE SUN.

HYDE PARK.

MR. EDITOR-It is not a little surprising that
THE AGE, a Paper which seems to act from mo-
tives of public spirit, and a due regard to the
rights and privileges of the People, should at-
tempt to justify the intended encroachments on
Hyde Park, alleging that the contemplated in-
closure is just extensive enough to build his
Grace (the Duke of WELLINGTON) " a pig-stye."
Sir, it is not the extent of space which may be
withdrawn from the Public, but the principle on
which the encroachment is founded is the ques-
tion ; and here permit me to quote the ‘s,ords
of JUNIUS, as applicable to the occasion. Ad-
dressing the People, lie says—" Let me ex-
hort and conjure you never to suffer an in-
vasion of your Political Constitution, how.
ever minute the instance may appear, to pass
by without a determined, persevering, resist-
ance. One precedent creates another—they soon
accumulate, and constitute law. What yesterday
was fact, to-day is doctrine. Examples are sup-
posed to justify the most dangerous measures, and
where they do not suit exactly, the defect is sup-
plied by analogy." These are sound constitu-
tional principles, and, whether public rights or
public enjoyments are concerned, the People
would neglect their duty if they were indifferent
to an invasion of either. His MAJESTY graciously
declined to abridge one Park, and the People
have a right to know upon what authority any
subject, however high, is permitted to encroach
upon the other, for if any portion bf a space al-
lotted to the People, and enjoyed by them through
many ages, is to be taken at pleasure by those
who are invested with the temporary regulation,
there can be no limitation of their powers, and
the public must feel grateful to them for not in-
closing the whole.

POETR Y.

TO HOPE.
Ah ! who is she, whose form divire
Irradiates the dungeon's gloom,
And snatches from the yawning tomb
The wretch that madly would his life resign ?
Ah ! who is she, of visage bright,
That drives the fiend Despair to flight
And with her smiles, for ever gay,
Cheers the drear night, and points to orient dad; ?
Ah ! whO is she, whose cherub smile
Can cheer the victim of disease ;
Can every kindred pang appease,
And every languid hour beguile ?
Ah ! who is she, whose accents mild
Can soothe the maniac's ravings wild ;
Can to his frenzied grasp bestow
An airy spectre to delude his woe ?
Stretch'd on the bed of death and woe,
In that abode where horror reigns,
'Midst anguish, groans, and clanking chains,
Where sighs are heav'd, 'and tears incessant flow,—
Ak ! who is she, whose magic pow'r
Can cheer the convict's dreary hour,'
And bid him raise his suppliant sight
Where mercy sits enthron'd serenely bright ?
'Tis she !—sweet promiser of joy !
Rich in her ideal treasure;
Ever painting scenes of pleasure ;
What dreams of bliss her happy thoughts employ !
Fair HOPE !—before thy cheering ray
Each ghaitly spectre fades away ;
And all the terrors of the storm
Disperse before thy radiant form.

THE

COVENT-GARDEN'.--Mr. WARDE made his se-
cond appearance in the character of Brutus, in
Julius Caesar, last night. The favourable recep-
tion which he has experienced at this Theatre has
encouraged him to act with more self-possession
than on his debut. We do not think, however,
that it has tended to the advantage of his Brutus,
which, on this occasion, was at times apparently
a little too much inclined to the choleric for the
even temper of the philosophic patriot. But the
performance altogether was creditable to his ta-
lent. Mark Anthony was again ably supported
by Mr. C. KEMBLE, and the irritable Cassius
was well represented by Mr. COOPER, but would
have been still better, if he had not in some pas-
sages been rather too boisterous.

TARRARE.—The music of this Opera, which
was so successfully represented at the English
Opera House, and which, it appears, is very at-
tractive in private families, was not entirely the
music of Tarrare, as part of it was taken froM
Palmyra, another opera composed by the same
musician. The score of the latter opera is in his
MAJESTY'S Library, and Mr. HAwEs was gra-
ciously permitted to make use of it on the late
occasion. Tarrare was unluckily withdrawn in
the midst of its popularity, as Mr. BRAHAM, the
hero of the piece, was obliged to attend his Pro-
vincial engagements.

LADY BARRYMORE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Yesterday the unfortunate
woman Mary Ann Pearce, better known at the police-offices
,of the metropolis under the assumed title of Lady Barry-
Mort, was, in all probability for the last time, brought before
a 'bench of magistrates. She was conveyed to this office in a
coach from St. Giles's watchhouse, and placed at the bar on
the charge of one of the beadles of that parish,'who state,,
that as he was passing at a late hour the night before through
Drury-lane, he heard the moaning of a female, and approach-
ing the spot, he found this wretched being stretched out at the
corner of a street, without shoe or stocking, gown or cap, and
almost in a state of total insensibility, from the combined ef.
fects of intoxication and debility, but rather more of, the latter
than the former ; she was quite unable to move, or to walk to`
the watchhouse, and he took her thither in a coach to shelter
her for the night. She offered no resistance whatever, nor was
she capable of doing so; and during the night she was dread-
fully ill, and indeed they imagined dangerously so. The
clothes she had on at present were supplied to her at the watch.
house, as she was nearly naked when tound.—The Magistrate-
Mr. ROE, asked no question of the poor creature, and if he
had, it is doubtful that she would have had the strength to
answer, but ordered her to be conveyed forthwith, in a coach,
to the Infirmary of the House of Correction, and here to have
every attention necessary paid to hit evidently doubtful state
of existence. She could scarcely support herself at the bar the
few seconds she stood there. She never uttered a syllable, and
scarcely seemed to breathe ; her face, the hue of death ; her
eyes glazed and sunken ; her cheeks fallen, and her mouth hal'
open, with difficulty inhaling a breath of vital air. In short,
she was an awfully living image of death itself. Police officers,
beadles, and parish constables, whom her mighty arm had*?
often levelled with the dust, now stood close to, and approached
her undismayed.

THE EARL OF MOUNT EDGCUAIBE'S FETE,
TO THEIR ROYAL. HIGHNESSES OF CLARENCE.
The Noble Lord, at his charming villa, at Twickenham, it
making preparations to entertain a royal party, and an at-
tendant suite; and, as the entertainment will display all the
discriminating taste of the banquets of Mount Edgcumbe in
eurly times, much curiosity has been excited.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES.
The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor has invited his Ma-
jesty's Ministers, Great Officers of State, and a distinguished
party of the Nubility, to dinner, at the Mansion House, on Fri-
day next.
Mrs. General Maitland gave a children's' hall, in Bryan-
stone-square, on Wednesday night, in a style of the most bril-
liant splendour.—The drawing-room, the boudoir, the vestibule,
the great staircase, and the banqueting-room, were all lighted
up with a peculiar effulgence. The dancing commenced at
half-past nine, and concluded at half-past three. The supper
was laid out with great taste. About one hundred and fifty
were present.---A Christmas fete, upon a smaller scale, was
given the same evening, in Baker-street, by the Hun. Mrs.
Barnard.

BAL FRANCOIS.

The Argyll Rooms—;vere;iiroW;(iien on Thursday night
to a French Ball, under very distinguished patronage. The
Company commenced arriving soon after eleven o'clock, but
the carriages did not cease setting down until a very late
hour. We have seldom witnessed an entertainment con-
ducted on a scale of greater liberality, or a more refined
judgment. It combined all that was gratifying to the taste
and alluring to the scene—the presence of beauty, rank,
and fashion—and refreshments of the choicest and most
luxurious kinds spread in a style of unexampled profusion.
_Quadrilles and Waltzes commenced at twelve, and most of
the distinguished persons present joined in their graceful and
fascinating movements; and during the intervals of repose,
the eye was amused and the interest of the scene kept up by
groupes of the female Corps de Ballet, who performed several
beautiful Quadrilles in a delightful manner. The new Qua-
drille " A-la-Russe," and the Waltz " lrlandois," were
particularly admired.-- At two the supper rooms were
thrown open, and the company partook of a splendid enter-
tainment, in which every delicacy of the season was pro-
vided, with wines of the most costly description. Af-
ter supper, dancing was resumed with increased spirit
Among the distinguished Company we noticed—The Hon.
Mrs. Coventry, Lady Mary Stanhope, Lady Jane Cole, Mrs.
Fitzroy Harding, the Hon. Mrs. Haigh, Lady Eleanor Stop-
ord, Madam Rutilliac, Mrs. Harvey, Lady Jane Carey, Mrs.
Wilson, and several other Ladies of distinction.

The Catch Club met, for the first time this season, at the
Thatched house Tavern, on Wednesday evening, Sir William
De Crespigny, Hart., ,11. P., in the Chair. Sir G. Clerk, Hart.,
M.P., and R. licher, Esq., M.P., were the Vice-Presidents;
when Sir Andrew Barnard was elected a Member of the Club.
Messrs. Bellamy, Horsley, Leete, Evans, Elliott, Sale, ('lark,
l)ignuni, and Terrail, amused the company, who were very
numerous, with some excellent catches and glees, and the har-
mony of the Meeting was kept up with great spirit until a
late hour.

Lord Burghers!' has concluded his Concerts at Florence for
the season. The Noble Lord, however, continues to give
splendid balls, to which roost of the respectable foreigners in
Tuscany are invited. Lord Burghersh is particularly attentive
to the English.

In gen'rous RoTmscitti.D'S wedded Dame are seen,
Benevolence, that animates her face,
Imparts its lustre to her noble mien.
And while her Partner, with industrious care
For riches wisely toils, to sweeten life,
Ile `•et would feel, were his a boundless share,
II is greatest treasure is his virtuous wife.
BEECHEY, thy merit here is ably shewn,
For in this faithful portraiture we find
Not the mere beauties of the form alone,
But those that decorate a cultur'd mind. T.

EARN 11 EN RI, Tambour-Major to Napo-
leon, will have the honour of Performing (for the first
tune in this Country) on MONDAY NEXT, January 24th.
--The Public is respectfully acquainted that the PERFORM-
ANCE of JEAN HENRI is not the mere noisy and mono-
tonous beat of the Drum, but that he has raised it to a Alu-
sical Art, by playing on Fifteen differently toned Drums, in a
soft and harmonious style, at one time forming a novel and
complete Instrument. He accompanies a full Military Band,
and goes through various unrivalled evolutions; particularly,
in beating one rapid Match, he causes 28 Drumsticks to fly in
the air in all directions, catching them in a peculiar manner
under his arms and legs. He will be dressed kit the Uniform
lie wore with the late Emperor at Elba, and will beat Napo-
leon's Entry into Paris, as performed by him on that occasion.
Ile plays on his various Drums, passing from one to the other
with, such astonishing rapidity that the eye of the spectator can
scarcely follow his hands. The whole performance has been
greatly admired on the Continent, at ail the principal Courts,
and, lastly, honoured with the approbation of his Majesty the
King of Prussia.—Doors open at Half-past 7, begin at 8.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 21.
There was a long list of judgments to be given, cause peti-

posed of.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 21.
There was no business of any public importance in this Court
to-day.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN.. 21..

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE sat for the Lord Chief Justice.
The cases of " The National Bank of St. Charles r. Bernales,"
and " Mackenzie v. Layard," were passed over by desire of
the Learned Judge, who, having been consulted upon them
when at the Bar, declined to try them. In the first case, both
parties expressed their wish that the Learned Judge would
wave his scruple ; but he declined to do so, and the cases stood
over.

preserve some remnant, however -small, of this
sacred body. Wherever two or three of such
Christians are assembled together, the Head of
the Church has promised to be with them. This
promise is not made to any one city or any one
congregation, all of Which ar►e Commanded " in
honour to prefer, one. another," but to every one,
of whatever nation or people, that feared' God
and worketh righteousness. belong to that
Catholic body, which -is one day " to cover the
face of the earth as the waters cover the s► a."
Whatever name way be given to them by man,
whether Papists or Protestants, 'their name is
written in the Book of .Life : or to whatever
visible Church they may belong, they are mem-
bers of the Church invisible—the Holy Family
knit together by the bonds of faith and charity
here, to enter hereafter into the blessed commu-
nion of saints in heaven. Papists may arro-
gate to themselves the title exclusively, because
they affect to belong to the Church as it was
founded by the Apostles, especially by St. Peter;
but the Protestants, believing in no such title,
look upon the Papist Church to be founded upon
the ruins and corruptions of Christianity, or of
the Church which was founded by Christ and
his Apostles. It might be said to begin with
Peter above the rest of them in order of time,
because upon his preaching " so many thousand
souls were first converted ;" and that might be
the meaning of the promise made to Peter—
" upon him as a rock to build the Church," as
many of the earlier Fathers understand it to be
performed when he first preached the word, by
which he might be said to build the Church,
which first consisted of 3,000 souls, which,
being added " to the disciples already made, con-
tinued stedfastly in the Apostles• doctrine," and
in the exercise of those duties which as Christians
they considered themselves bound to perform.—
In the course of time, obeying the mandate of
their Master, the Apostles went forth to build
other Churches in the several nations to which they
were sent ; but alt these sprung from one which
can only be discerned by the character given of
it in the various parts of its sacred Canon,..and
not in the words of traditional, or written, or any
human authority, which may be appealed to by
the different Churches founded since, but by
that volume which, as it alone can teach us all
things necessary for salvation, so can it alone in-
form us what is the real Church, visible and in-
visible, which it so plainly predicts shall prevail
in every future age in some parts of the world.

INDIA.

By the Westmorland, arrived at Liverpool,
accounts have been received from Calcutta of the 24th of
August. They state that his Majesty's ship Alligator had
arrived from Rangoon, with advices to the 26th of July. These
represented that our army suffered much by disease ; that all
operations had been suspended ; and that the King of Ave had
interdicted all communication with the British force, declaring
that any bearer of propositions should be shot. The lettera
from Calcutta mentions, that Captain GRANT, of the Ling
frigate, Commodore on that station, was alarmingly ill, and ()e
of them announces;that his decease had actually taken p 1: re.
Tl;e Asia, Captain Larrpsav, was loading at Rangoon,
London ; and the arrival of that ship may therefore be hourly
expected, with further Intelligence from the seat of military
operations.—( Times.)
Letters have been received, by the Westmorland, from Cal-
cutta, dated the 19th August. A vessel had arrived there horn
Rangoon, just before the Westmorland , tiled, which brought
unfavourable reports of the Burmese we 'are. We have seen
letters by this conveyance to houses of the first respectability
in the City ; but in them, no mention is made of any reverse
or misfortune sustained by the British expedition in the Bur-
mese territory. We know also that the best informed houses
at Liverpool have received no such intelligence as some of our
contemporar e have published as from private letters.--(Bri-
tish Press.)
The following are extracts of a letter received yesterday, dated
Calcutta, Aug. 10 :—" The Birmahs are very powerful, and a
strong, hardy, and cunning race, different from anyenemies we
have met with in this country before, likely to cost us some
trouble and a vast outlay before we succeed. What has been
done hitherto must go for nothing, after costing the country lace
of rupees, and the loss of great part of the army sent to Rangoon;
for they have got fever amongst them, and being in want of pro-
visions, I fear few of them will ever return. It is now found that
Ragoon is not the proper place to attack the Birmah Empire, and
troops are marching in every direction to take up positions as
near Chittagong, the eastern frontier, as possible, that the cam-
paign may open with the cold weather, and under the imme-
diate command of Sir E. Paget, the Commander in Chief. Our
Governor gives satisfaction to no one ; they could not do better
at home than recall him, and give us a man of some talent, or
he will do more injury to the country than many clever men
will be able to restore."—(Morning Chronicle.)

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

-
The value of a free way in the River, and of easy access to
its Banks, is scarcely to be estimated by even their present im-
portance; they have been rapidly increasing during the last
half century; and from the rapid growth of the City, and the
probable increase of communication by Steam Vessels, Ste.,
with the Metropolis, to all of which the River must be subsi-
diary, no present compensation could be adequate to the real
loss of commer:ial accommodation, not only to the Proprietors,
but to every Inhabitant of the City of London, for the price of
every article must be increased, in the ratio that the charge of
obtaining it is increased.
The Profit to the Subscribers, they•say, is to be 51 per Cent.
upon the whole outlay. Will it be believed that the Colonel's
calculation for the building of this Terrace, or continued Bridge,
from Craven-street to Blackfriars Bridge, with all its Gates,
Sluices and connecting avenues, footways, and carriage-ways,
balustrades, architectural ornaments, &e. is to be no more than
611,0001. !!! And this ridiculous estimate for a Causeway on
which not a dozen people may walk in a year, is made with
Waterloo Bridge staring him in the face, costing, though not
fourth of the extent nearly One :Million and a half : and though
leading to a populous district, and necessarily crossed by a con-
