TPIE :SEVENTH DRASOO":-1 GUARDS. Brevet Major
Power, and six other officers of this corps, have been ordered
to sell out their commissions or retire on the half-pay, in con-
sequence of an unfavcurable report to his Royal Highness the
Duke of York, of the detective state of the discipline and in-
terior economy of that Regiment on the half-yearly inspection.
A lengthened corraSponazneellad -appeared in the papers be-
tween Major Power and the Military .secretary, to Lord Com-
. bermere, from which, it would be inferred that the former
officer did not evince sufficient skill in military tactic; to
mance/tyre the corpse the presence of Sir Colgulioun Grant,

We understand tbat great alarm subsists among
the French merchants and manufacturers of silk,
ill consequence of the red uction of duty in

this country, us they conceive the English
will now be able to enter into successful

competition ,Aith theta even in France itself.

This alarm appears to us to he far more reasonable
than that recently'expressed by the manufactu-
rers and importers in Great Britain. En conse.

quenee of the reduction of duty, it is said tha
preparations are making, on a large scale, to ex-
tend the manufacture of silk in 'Manchester and
other places.—( Times.)

ExTaNstyr. Ronarar.--On Thursday evening
the banking-house of Messrs. A USTIN, BROTHERS
and Co. of Wotton-under-Edge, was privately
entered by means of false_ keys,admirably adapted
to every size and species of lock, and after ran-
sacking the desks, drawers, &c. in the counting-
house, the fellows secured a large quantity of
notes of the Banks of Tetbury and Wotton-under.
Edge, with which they decamped. The circum-
stances of the robbery were soon after disco-
vered, and being communicated to some of the
town police, an active pursuit was immediately
commenced its every quarter likely to attract
attention, particularly along the line of road
leading towards the metropolis, whence it is in-
ferred that the party came. Three men of
rather respectable appearance were seen about
Wotton-under-ndge for some time previously,
having no apparent business in the town ; and on
the evening of the robbery, those three three per-
sons were met on the road
.all well mounted, and
travelling at great speed in a contrary direction.
All these circumstances, together with a descrip-
tion of the suspected characters, have been put
into the hands of some very intelligent officers in
London, where the inquiry is now pressing with
much spirit ; the proprietors of the bank, Messrs.
Austin, Brothers, and Co. have offered a reward
of 3001. for the apprehension of the parties if
prosecuted to conviction, and a liberal remunera-
tion for such . private information as may lead
thereto.
