GENERAL ORDER.

At a General Court Martial, held at Brighton HORSE GUARDS, OCT. 20, 1840.
Bar-
racks, on the 25th of September, 1840, and continued
by Adjournments to the sth of the following month,
Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds, of the 11th
(Prince Albert's own) Hussars, was arraigned upon
the undermentioned charge, viz.:--
having at Brighton, on the 27th August, 1840, written,
and Fore t n
tahat h
Letteer,
t
:
Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds,
Lieut.-Colonel the Earl of Cardi-
gan, of the same Regiment, his Commanding officer of an
improper natur, and bein—
g thereupon personally or-
s
dered by the said Earl of Cardigan, as his Comm ending
Officer, to the
effeet following, viz. : ' That all Letters
addressed to him by Captain Richard Anthony Rey-
nolds shouldin future be strictly official;' nevertheless
the said Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds, in direct
violation and disobedience of such order by his Com-
manding Officer, did on the same day, viz., the 28th
August 1840, write :Ind address to him, Lieutenant-
Colonel the Earl of Cardigan, a most disrespectful, in-
subordinate, offensive, and insulting Letter, imputing to
him conduct calculated to excite, him, to depart from
his duty as Commanding Officer, and which last-men-
tioned Letter is as follows

" Brighton, Aug. 28, 1840.
" My Lord,—Having in my letter to your Lordship
of yesterday stated to your Lordship, that a report had
reached me that your Lordship had spoken of me in
such manner as I deemed prejudicial to me, considering
the position in which kp.s placed4,:and.lat:ving in the
most respectful manner requested your Lordship to al-
low me to contradict such report, and your Lordship
having this morning positively refused to give me any
answer, I must beg to tell your Lordship, that
you are in nowise justified in speaking of me at all at a
public party given by your Lordship, and more particu-
larly in such manner as to make it appear that my
conduct has been such as to exclude me from your
Lordship's house. Such assertion is calculated to in-
jure me. Your Lordship's reputation as a professed
duellist, founded on the having sent Major Jenkins to
offer satisfaction to Mr. Brent, the miller of Canterbury,
and your having also sent Capt. Forrest to London to call
out an attorney's clerk, does not admit of your privately
offering insult to me, and then securing yourself under
the cloak of Commanding Officer ; and I must be al-
lowed to tell your Lordship, that it would far better be-
come you to select a man whose hands are untied for
the object of your Lordship's vindictive reproaches, or
to act as many a more gallant fellow than yourself has
done, and waive that rank which your wealth and E arl-
dom alone entitle you to hold.
" I am, my Lord,
" Your Lordship's obedient servant,
" RICHARD ANTHONY REYNOLDS.
" The Right Honourable the Earl of Cardigan,
" 45, Brunswick-square, Brighton.

" Such Conduct as aforesaid, being in the said Cap-
tain Richard Anthony Reynolds, unbecoming an Officer
and a Gentleman, prejudicial to the interests of the
Service, subversive of Good Order and Military Dis-

cipline.
" Upon which Charge the Court came to the follow-
ing Decision :
" The Court, having duly weighed, and most ma-
turely considered, the whole of the Evidence adduced
on the part of the Prosecution, together with that ad-
♦anced by the Accused in support of his Defence, is of
opinion that he, Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds,
of the 11th (Prince Albert's own) Hussars, is Guilty
of the Charge exhibited against him, which being in
breach of The Articles of War,' The Court does in
virtue thereof Sentence him, the said Captain Richard
Anthony Reynolds, of the 11th (Prince Albert's own)
Hussars, to be Cashiered. _

" The Court having performed its duty, cannot sepa-
rate without recording its opinion on the following
points of Evidence :-
44 In the course of the Evidence to Character, wit.
nesses have stated, that, they considered the accused was
incapable of insubordination without some extraordinary
causes of provocation ; or unless under provocation
which no man of honourable feelings could endure :
thus apparently sanctioning the idea, that there might
be circumstances of private irritation which would jus-
tify a Soldier breaking from the established order of
Military Discipline,--a doctrine so totally subversive of
the fundamental principles by which all Armies are go-
verned, that the Court feels called upon to stamp it
with marked Reprobation."
Her Majesty has been pleased to approve and con-
firm the Finding and Sentence of the Court.
The General Commanding in Chief directs, that the
foregoing Charge preferred iirem)f Cap-iiitri. 'Richard
Anthony Reynolds, of the I lth (4ince Albert's own)
Hussars, together with the Finding_and,Sentenon
Cotirt, and her Majesty's Confirmation thereof, be
entered in the General Order Book. and read at• the
head of every Regiment in her Majesty's Servide.
By Command of the Right Honourable
General Lord HILL, Commanding in Chief.

PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON AND

M. BERRYER.

The following letter has been addressed by Prince
Louis Napoleon to his counsel, M. Berryer, the Legi-
timist Deputy :

" Paris, Oct. 5, 1840.
My dear Berryer,—l will not quit my prison
in Paris without again repeating to you all my
thanks for the noble services which you have
that I was to be brought before the Court of Peers
riendeeeereeedivme,ei
thernigdeamy trial. As soon as I knew
of
asking you to defend me,
because I knew that the independence of your character
placed you above the little susceptibilities of party, and
that your heart was always open to assist the unfortu-
nate, as your talent is apt to comprehend every great
thought and every noble sentiment. I therefore selected
you from esteem, and now I leave you with friendship
and gratitude.

" I know not what fate may reserve for me ; I know
not whether I shall ever be able to prove to you my
gratitude ; I know not whether you would even then ac-
cept proofs of it ; but whatever may be onr reciprocal
position by the state of politics and their desolating ob-
ligations, we can always entertain for each other esteem
and friendship ; and I must avow to you that if my trial
could produce no other result than to have excited your
friendship for me, I should still think I have gained im-
mensely, and I should not complain of my destiny.
" Adieu, my dear Bcrryer ; accept the assurance of
my sentiment of esteem and gratitude.
(Signed) " NAPOLEON LOUIS."

THE STEAM REVOLUTION IN
BRITISH AMERICA.

mi
-----
Our readers must not suppose that under the above
head, we intend to tire their patience with a prosy disser.
tation on the steam-engine, or a stale description of the
paddleinteresting wileeenlsoougf
ha
to C uthoeardcusrtieoaunsiter. Theseght be
mathematician, or the
practical machinist ' • but the majority dour readers look
rather to the effect than the cause ; they would be better
pleased with the few paragraphs of information we can
give them, on the mighty revolution which the practical
application of steam has accomplished, in the intercourse
of nations, and the comfort, intelligence, and happiness
of man.
Let us " begin at home," and see what advantages
the inhabitants of Halifax have gained. A few weeks
since, we took a trip to Boston, to procure the requisite
materials for publishing the Morning pest.
To ac-
complish the journey in the most expeditious manner,
we took stage to Windsor, crossed to St. John in the
steamer Maid of the gist, sailed thence in the steamer
North America for Boston, sod returned
d by the Acadia
to Halifax. We spent near y a t ay at Windsor, seven
or eight hours in St.-1
_olla,
Boston,aaeu and hour at Eastport,
more than three days in d a 1 lafn Yet Performed the
whole revolution in Ova an t a hours less than nine
days ! Adding the stoppages . together we find a total
of nearly four and a half day s, lea v 1 eg, as the neat space
of time necessary to visit Bolton
and return(callin;g at W incisor,
St. John, and Eastport).% aga-n to Halifax—
only four days and a bait,
This presents rather a numerous contrasts to the old
sailing
mode of travelling by the packets, In 1835, we
were tossed about for eight days, between this port and
was always Boston ;—in fact, the Paligoeu one of com-
parative uncertainty and te
Frosneghs, until the establish-
reent of the Cunard line. .
ar.n.t. e arrival of the Bri-
tannia, we may date the gradu I
.but sure progress of a
new and exhilarating impetas.te Industry and enterprise
in Nova Scotia. A
glimmering of the beneficial results
breaks through the long vista of futurity giving encou-
ragement for increasing noon-, and confirmation to every
reasonable hope.
as our travel •
Expeditious, however,
both llng was, we
are obliged to yield the palm,for distance and ra-
pidity, to a gentleman 3 we enjoyed on a
great portion of the route to and from Boston. We
allude to Stephen BianeY,
York who left Halifax half
a day later, and saw New, . and the intermediate
places while we remained m Boston. The following
notice of Mr. Biuney's route, with which, at our re-
quest, he has kindly furnished us, will best speak for
itself :
"Left Halifax on Tuesday afternoon, 25th August,
Hilt z, ,
at four o'clock ; reached half way between
; Halifax and Windsor, at nine o'clock, p.m. Slept
. six
• there, and started next morning t o'clock, and ar-
rived
' o'clock for St. John, New Brunswick, and arrived

there at two o'clock a. m. Left St. John, N. 8., at
eleven, a. m. Thursday, and arrived off Boston har-
bour on Saturday morning at five o'clock, but owing
to fog did not land until nine, a. m. Left Boston for
New York at five o'clock, p. m., and arrived the fol-
lowing morning at six o'clock. Spent Sunday and Mon-
day in New York. Left New York on return to Boston,
Monday afternoon, at five o'clock, and arrived the fol-
lowing morning at four. At twelve o'clock embarked
on board the steamer Acadia, and arrived at Halifax at
four a.m. on Thursday, 3d September, having been ab-
sent exactly eight and a half days, and had ample time
for the transaction of business or for pleasure ; and
having travelled (exclusive of stoppages) with great
case and comfort, about fifteen hundred miles in the
short space of 131 hours ; and, had occasion required,
I could have visited Philadelphia during Sunday, which
I spent in New York. Out of the above, one hour
was spent rambling about Eastport."
The reader will perceive that the average number of
miles travelled over, per hour, by stage, steamer, and
railroad, exclusive of stoppages, was eleven and a half ;
and including stoppages, which were long enough for
the transaction of business, about seven and a third
miles. Besides this, the route was proved to be cer-
tain, for the journey that was contemplated in Halifax,
was accomplished in fact."—Halifax Morning Post of
the 3d Oct., arrived in Liverpool on the 15th Oct.
