THE DUKE OF YORK.

We sesterday stated that his Royal niglines-
the Duke of YORK met with a very serious accil
dent ou Sunday morning at Oatlands. His Royal
Highness went, as usual, in the morning, to the
shower-bath, on coming out of which he stepped
on some oil-cloth, atid his feet being wet, he
slipped, and in his fall had the misfortune to
break his left arm. Mr. GREENWOOD, the Army
Agent, who was on a visit to his Royal Highness,
was one of the first who came. to bis assistance,
and -with his domestics raised him froM the
ground ; but it was not until six hours, after that
surgical assistance Could be procured to set his
arm, on account of iwr. •OsistoßNE, the Surgeon to
the Household at Oatlands, who resides at Wal-
ton, about a mile frorn Oatlands House, being
from home, and the length of time that it took
before Sir HENRY HALYORD, and Mr. MACGRE-
GOR, the Surgeon, who were sent for express
from London, to attend his Royal Highness,
could arrive.

I'Ve are happy to state. his Royal Highness was
well enough atter the serious accident on Sunday
morning, to write letters to the QuF.Erg. at Kew,
Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA 'at Windsor, and
the PRINCE REGENT at Brighton, informing his
Royal relatives of the particulars of what had
taken place. Yesterday morning his Royal High-
ness wrote to his venerable Tutor, the Rev. Dr.
JACKSoN, and several others, to give an account
of-his state. *Mr. OttEENwoon, came to town
yestetday about half-past twelve o'clock. Sir
HENRY FIALFoRD- and Mr, MACGREGOR arrived in
town about two o'clock, and returned again to
Oatlands in about two hours.

In consequence of the various groundless re-
ports that were eirculated.respecting the..accident
yesterday, the following Bulletin, signed by the
principal Medical Attendant, was handed to the
Nobility, &c.:—
BULLETIN.

" Royal Highness the Duke of York has by a fall broken
the large bone of his left arm, half way between the shoulder
and elbow joint; but the displaced parts have been put into
their natural situation. His Royal Highness has passed a
good night: He is this morning free from fever,' and is, going
on in all respects as favourable as can be expected under the
circumstances. -

(Signed)

" HENRY HALFORD.
P. MACGREGOR."

" Monday Morning, Aug. 7."

We have this day continued :he, extracts from
the Ceylon Gazette Extraordinary, relative to the
settlement of the-affairs of the Candian provinces.
e last advices from Bengal stare, that the
army was in march in four divisions for the Ne-
pali] country ; the whole disposable force being
required for the expedition. -
The PRtNcE REGENT arrived at Carlton Houie
yesterday .afternoon at four o'clock, from Brigh-
trin. • At " six his Royal Highness left Carlton
House in an open carriage to' dine with -Earl
BATBURST.

The Pnris letters confirm our statement of a ge-
neral movement among the British troops, with
the exception of the Guards and Highland regi-
ments. About 10,000 of the English cavalry
were on the road from Paris to Abherville, with
strong detachments of infantry, At the latter
pl Ice the advanced guard halted, and the orders
were to distribute these forces over the provinces
of Picardy anti Normandy.
It is reported that the 3d Garrison Battalion
will shortly embark for St. Helena, to relieve the
53d, which regiment, it is thought, after doing
duty- some tune at St. Helena, will proceed to
the East Indies, to join the Ist battalion. The
3d Garrison Battalion is 1400 strong, all -healthy
veterans, and ke.epiug them embodied tv:11 be no
great expellee to Government, as upon their be-
ingdischarged, each man is entitled to a pension.
Three companies are at Fort Cumberland, under
Major Hawthorn, and three companies are doing
duty in the Tower.
On the 29th ultimo, a considerable number of
Danish troops were to pass, through Hamburgh,
and in eoweqaence it was deemed expedient to
call out. the City Guard to prevent disorders from
taking place.? for though the Hatnburghers and
the Danes are at peace, the former have never for-
gotten the conduct of the Fitter in 1813, when
they gave up Hamburgh to DAYousT.
We are rejoiced to bear, that there is not the
least foundation for a story of a criminal inter-
course on the Continent, in which the name of a
very distinguished Personage has been implicated
with that of a Lady of titled tank. The Lady,
we are assured, is livingin perfect harmony with
her husband, whose relations in this country have
received letters from him within the. last week,.
which take away every ground of credibility from
the malignant rumour too hastily . and inconside-
rately circulated by most of the public Journals,
with alleged eircionstanens calculated to command
a temporary belief, very injurious to parties whom
every feeling of public honour, gratitude, and •
just respect, should make Britons unwilling to
implicate.
When Mrs.. MoaisT received the French bulle-
tin of the battle of the 16th, she- drove at noon
with great pomp through the elitist of the mer-
chants assemblevi on 'Change, all over the city of
Trieste, and through all the public walks, and on
the following Sunday gave .a great entertainment
in her house ; but -after the 18tIJ she no more
sheaved herself in public.
- Tau JEsurrs IN SPAIN.—A German Paper cons-
municates the following article, under the head
of Madrid, June 20 :—" His Majesty the King,
by a Decree of-the 29th ult. abolished all the
Edicts.against the Jesuits which have been in
force since 1767 ; and has restored this Order to
the, possession of its former tights throughout all
Spain."

Esq. are canvassing the county of Oxford with
the utmost vigour. The time of election is not
fixed, indeed the writ is not yet issued.. The last
contested Electiod for that county took place in
the year 1754, which is 61 years ago, and it is
said there is only one freeholder living who voted
at that election.
