At a public dinner which took place on Satur.
day last at Birmingham, on account of the expi-
ration'of the Orders in Council, the Chairman, in
toposing the health of Me.. BROUGHAM, said,
it is the health of a man on whose character it
is la vain to lavish words, for it has burst upon his
°lll1-try like the meridian sun, xVhich •blesses •
;14 it dazzles, the world." The extravagance of
is panegyric might be thought: to .have more of
nthe bombast than the sub/inte if it not so ob-
linusly an effusion-of humour. It may indeed .be
4ipposed that the Chairman intended to divert the
wfili a covert irony, partieularly, when be
said that " it was in vain to lavish words on such' a,
Alan, as Mr. BROUGHAM certainly is the greatest
dealer in words that Parliament has ever known.
45 the Chairman was somewhat too bitter in his
12:(0Y when he compared Mr. BROUGHAM to
Ile meridian sun, and talked of his blessing and
,snz‘ing the world!! ! ! It is seldom. at public
aueetillgS that Chairmen are so jocose and satirical.
Occident.—Oa Wednesday evening, about nine
s'elock, Mr. May, the-Clerk of Union Hall, was
tuformed, that the report of a pistol had been
beard to come from the house of Mr. Hebb, to-
uacconist, Borough High-street, and that a large
~colvd was collected about the house. Mr. May,
immediately proceeded to the spot, where be found
4 number of persons, all of whom were-fully per-
suaded that murder had been committed.--On
.entering the house, which was in utter darkness,
and full of smoke, he, however, soon discovered
the cause of the alarm.. Mr. Hebb and his, family,
4 appeared, 'were gone to Vauxhall, end had left
The house in the care of an apprentice boy, who,
Ilfter having shut up the shop, proceeded to amuse.
himself by making 6onie fireworks with some gun- •
Powder, which he had procured from the soldiers
employed by Mr. Hebb to work in the manufac-
.ttrY. Whilst thus employed, a spark from the
'vandle fell into.a canister containing near a pound
of powder, which immediately exploded with great
force, and caused the report that had so much
alarmed the neighbourhood. The windows of the
"-hop were all; broken, and the candle driven into
the wainscot 3 the boy was thrown down and
much Scorched, but on Mr. May's entering the
Shop, he so far recovered himself as to run into a
neighbour's house, where he again dropped down
/n a fit, and was in that situation conveyed to St.
'4oatas's Hospital, where he still continues.
On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock,
;everal butchers' boys • belonging to St. James's
Market assembled opposite the Arthur Club Sub-
scription House, 'in St. James's-:street, which was
brilliantly lighted. They annoyed the passengers
with squibs, crackerS, and serpents.—Mr. Foot,
has the superiniendanee of the Subscription
lionse, on coming out, . was struck 'in the face
by One -of the serpents. -He instantly struck the
Inan who threw it—a rittg was -formed, and being
'ov'erpowered hy numbers, Mr. Foot very pru-
dently retreated into, the house, which was as-
!sailed by the mob' with stones, and two large
. I:niares of glass were, broken. Several watchmen
came to the spot, but their interference was of no
avail. The mob tore one of the watch-boxes down,
• and set fire to it in the middle of St. James's-street.

After it was consumed therdispersed. It was past
twelve o'clock before the ueighboUrhood was re-
stored to tranquility.
Last week a most melancholy accident happened
at the staith belonging to Messrs. Todd and Co.
of Hull. Whilst a cask of currants was lowering
',Srum an upper stoly, for the purpose of being put
on board a Gainsborough sloop, the rope of the
. crane broke, and the cask, more than half a ton
'weight, fell upon two men, one of whom was em-
,P toyed in loading the-vessel : one Of the poor fel-
lows, Robert Williams, a labourer, had several of
his ribs shattered in a most dreadful manner, and
leg broken so shockingly as to require Mithediate.
2lnptitatiow The other, a Mr. Stewart, master
of another GainsboroUgh sloop, lying'near, was.
:&st- struck on the shoulder, and then on the leg,.
Which received a dreadful compound-fracture, and
"WaS otherwise shockingly lacerated. Williams
"died on Fr:day morning in gFent agony, his. ribs
having, , upon elcamination, been found,thy the
viatence - the 'fracture, driven into his lungs

,on Saturday mOrningi'
to be in a more t'lv.„.4rable state than onTriday;

PRISONLItS OF W.U..

PreviouS• to continuing the recital of the trails
of inhumanity which have alWays marked the con-
duct which the English Government, and its
agents, have observed to French prisoners, it will
be proper to notice an expression of Lord Castie-
reagles, in that famous sitting of the 26th June,
in which the hypocrisy and bad .faith of the
British Ministry even astonished it most zealous

partizans
" Lord Castlereagh compared the conduct of the 'French
Officers under the old regime, with that of Officers under the'
new, and much regretted that men and times had,changed."

The sincerity of these regrets is'not doubted ;
and we feel pleasure in doing this justice to the
Noble Lord. This once he not only expressed
his own wishes, but those of all the Ministers
who conducted English policy since that moment
in,which regenerated France resumed those rights,
and that rank, to which she was entiled among

civilized nations. Undoubtedly those times no
longer exist, when effeminate officers brought
with them all the luxuries of cities, and pre-
'sented themselves upcn the field of battle, dressed
With that gaudiness which would have served at
Vers4iilles, or the Opera-boxes. Those iietits-
rnaitres warriors, who knew how to brave death,
knew not how to fight, and were frequently van-
quished by fatigue before coming into action.
These are the men, Lord Castlereagh, whom
you regret, and not the, Marine Officers, who, is
the war of 1778, humbled the British flag, and
whom your Ministry landed on the coasts of
Britanny during the revolution;7aFor us, we
regret having lost them; but, fortunately, there
are no forming in our ports, under the prote.ei-
ing inflilence of the Genius of France, numbers of
ve men, who will one day make you suffer for
your pride and cruelties. Console yourself, Lord
Castlereagh, the times are passed, never again to
return, when an English Commissary insolently de-
, mandecithe demolition of the Ott of Dunkirk,—
when an imbecile and timid Government allowed
you to insult its flag with impunity, and dared not
revenge your multiplied injustices. Call to your
recollection the conduct of your Ministers, in the
wars which have occurred between France and
England during the last century. Was it not one
of the 'first points of your policy, to take all our
merchant-vessels before your intentions were sus-
pected of being hostile ? And did not Lord Chata
hanr, more frank than his colleagues, haughtily'
say in the Senate, " If we are just to France, we
are lost
• Alas ! if, when you were guilty of the first act
of initstice, France had had. recourse to reprisals,
the first time you detained French vessels
which sailed upon. the ocean on the faith of
treatiesa-a-if when you first buried in your prison-
ships the unhappy prisoners,, your's had been
subjected to retaliation, you would, without
doubt, have, practised that moderation which
now, in yotnamouth, is an insult to humanity.
You still take advantage of that sentiment of
generosity, . the principal character of the French
Government ; but do you pot fear that yonr
words, coldly ironical, will arouse its •indignation ?
Hitherto, to ycu has been reserved the honour tof
the infernal machines, and flo sting prisons. Has
the idea of a just and terrible reprisal never occur-
red to your minds ? This last thought Must have
struck all those who have read the detail of all the
atrocities committed upon . the'Freneb. soldiery,
who,' by an express 'capitulation, had their li-
berty guaranteed, and who, at the orders of the
Agent of the English Ministry, were thrown
upon a.desert.island, and for several days exposed
to the horrors of hunger and thirst. After 40
days passed in the island of Cabrera, the Officers
were taken away, to be put in prisop at Paitna.-.--
Ittonethately on their arrival at that prison, they
were wished and plundered. -Nevertheless, pro-.
positiOns,were made to the French soldiers Who
remained at Cabrera, to induce them to enter the
English service ; they were rejected with con-
tempt. the attempts of the English emissaries
were vain—nut a single Frenchmao would betray
his country.
The cruelties were 'doubled to punish them for
their devotion to their Sovereign. The execrable
Agent of the British Ministry organized 'a revolt,
which had fortts principal object, the massacring.
all. the,French Officers. He even Appeared in the
midst of the seditious, distributing guineas and
haranguing the mob. Already "had an English
Agent at Valencia violated All the rights of hu-
manity, by exciting tliednhabitants of that city
to destroy all the,French without distinction. The
Agent at Malagatad pursued a similar line of eon,'
duct.. Monsters !' whom the nation that has pro-
duced them should disown—whom humanity ma
pels,---and who would only be protected by the
most perfidious of Governments. Never have
there been seen among the savages, not, even
among the most ferocious Africansi such examples
of cruelty.
These are, nevertheless, the men who now talk
to us about honour and moderation,—who boast
of the ameliorated situation of the French pri-
soners. Let Messrs. Baring, Calvert, and all the
other defenders of the British Ministry, go to Chat-
ham ,and Tortsmouth,—let them interrogate our
prisoners, interred alive in their floating prisons ;
and these unfortunate men will tell them, " whilst
your countrymen, whom tht chances of 'war
have conducted to France, are . fudged even in
the barracks of our soldiers, in places Where
the air is most salubrious, we here breathe
a poisonous atmosphere. IVe are often, even

of the bad treatment Inflicted .upon the Spiinish
Patriots

" Head-quarters, Orduna, July 19, 1812.

" GENERAL,—Nothing is'now heard in the pro-
vince of Biscay but the sighs and lamentations
Of people'of the first class, arrested without any
other crime than having relations who bravely de-
fend their national rights. This ferocious' co-
lumn, headed by Mouton, carries destruction and
desolation with it wherever it proceeds ; it is traced
by the blood of the innocent ; the roads where it
marches arc covered with. the tears of the unfor-
tunate ill'-treated peasants. Who is it makes war,
General? The unarmed peasant, who, borne .
down by contributions, suffers the greatest misery
and privations, or the soldier with arms in his
'pads ?
" When, for the security of a fortification, or
td prevent an insurrectitj, some few people of
respectability 7are,, for a short time, put into pri-
On, the act may be attributed tb the rules of mi-
litary precaution; but no law justifies the invasion
of the peabeful cottage,. or the private dwelling of
the respectable inhabitants, or that the inmate; of
the former shoUld be tortured by the bayonet, by
lire, and by stripes, and' the" latter by arrests and
insults, the most disgraceful, even to blows.'
". Unfortunately., General, you have for some
considerable time trod the Peninsula, but you have
not yet penetrated the character of the Spanish
people.: as proud as, they, aro bravo, they are not
to be intimidated by prisons, nor' by the gallows
if generolity does not conquer them, it at least
softens them; in a word, Generals," let Mouton
;follow his system of terror, Renovates, as sm Of-
ficer and a' Spaniard, swears not to yield a point
unto him. May and Naudet, and the depot' of,
prisoners on board 'the ships of the English, our
'allies, and a great number of families --connected
with Spaniards unworthy of the name, are with;-.
in my 'power and gat my disposal ; and you may
be assured General, that at this very moment, I
am going, to ask, for twenty-four Officeis, solely
destined for the just vengeance of the itibabitants
of this( province, who Would willingly and pati-
o ently endure any insult or injury, convinced-that
those Officers will cease to exist the very 'moment
that a Mouton or a Cambrou shall commence to

, .
display theiracts of. cruelty, alwtiys. the offspring
of cowardice.

What a miserable - yengeance' l Are not my
troops sufficient to engage your attention rush
upon diem with' the bayonet; but let- the clergy-
man, the peaceable farmei, and the precioi;.s
-fair sex, winch has so 'much infl&mce over the
(heart of man, live tranquil, uninocsted in dicir

dwellings.•
Throw open those horrid gaols, faithful wit-
nesses of the p.triotisin of those, who, without
any other crime than that of having a relation, a
son, or husband, defending their national li-
berties, are loaded with fetters, when they.der
serve to be'decorated with a civic crown. if you
do not, General, I shall put in prison all the re-
lations of those unworthy Spaniards who have der.
serted the defence of their country, and. I shall
give their property to be confiscated for the bener.
tit of the nation.
" Let us throw of the veil, General., If you
seek war and the knife, the provinces of Biscay,
which, Without flattery, may title themselves 'the
Brave of Spain, will willingly. meet .you half way
in this species of warfare. COrreet, General, the
evils of an ignorant policy, 'and be assured, that
the day is not tar distant, when the town in which
you now are Will be conquered and taken by us ;
and then, at the head of 10,000 brave iliscayans,
as he has hitherto done, so will he then fulfil his
duty (and first of all towarls yourself.)

The following is a Russian official account of
the attacknacle by tbe Prench in Dunaberg:— ,

" REPORT.-Nu.

~
On the 30th of last month; (July 11,) at 1
o'clock at noon, the) enemy appeared on the
heights of the fortifications, about two or three
wrests from Gate Halennen. In order to !dis-
cover the force of the enemy, I detached from
the fortress
.three squadrons of hussars, who,
in the space of half a day, killed two, and
took twelve prisoners of the enemy's picket-
guard, stationed on the 'heights. On .uur side
there was none either killed or wounded ; only the
ear of one of the horses was hurt. It was. un-
derstood from. the prisoners, that the enemy's
force cOnsisted•of .two regiments of cavalry, and
one of yagers ; that they carried with them two
small pieces of cannon, and belonged to the corps
of Gen..OtTniNoT,.and to the division of Gen. LA-
GRANGE ; but the other regimeats, which amount;
ed to 24,000, were expected to arrive the next
day. - Theyarrived, however, at four o'clock in
the 'afternoon, attacked the bridges of the fortress
higher. up towards the hills, and continued the
engagement from six o'clock in the evening till ten.
Although the enemy made great exertions to pe-
netrate into the fortress, he Was constantly re-
pulsed by a sharp fire from the battalions in re-
serve, and a constant discharge of artillery from the
fortress and the vicinity, He, nevertheless,
.ha-
rassed us during the night by his sharpshooters,and
thiS morning, at break of day, the canonade was
renewed. Yesterday, lam inclined to believe, the
loSs of the enemy was considerably greater, than
ours, itrie exact amount of which, howevdr, oil
'account of the unceasing-cannonade, I have pot
had timeexactly to:ascertain, of which l have the
hotiour,to apprise your Excellency.

-This*cas an application,on
oldero; to have tly'
standing in the name of be;
rapt, and another trustee, for her
over to her.

It appeared, that; in',Oetober ISOI-, the execu-
tors of Mrs. Boldero's late father paid over to
Mr. 'and Mrs. Boldero, on their receipt; the sum
of 10,0002. bequeathed 'to Mrs, Bolder° by her
father; and that, on the same day, the money so •
paid over was laid out in trust for Miss Boldero,
in the 'name of her father, and of another' gentle-
man., as her trustees.
Mr. RICHARDS; in support of the application,.
now ,contended, that the payment by the execu-
tors, and the investing of the money it; the name
of the trustees, having taken- place on the same
day, were to be regarded as having been done
unico confrxtu anti as being partes ejusderti
At all events, if.the pctijoner was entitled to the
whole' soul so paid _over, yet, it was obvious, the
payment being made on account of the wife, that
:-he was entitled to 'have had a settlement of the
sum made ; -tv'oich, it was; submitted, might still
be cone.--fit had betnt alleged, on the other side,
that Mr. Boldero's house, or him-self individuallo,
were bankrupt at'the Cele the settlement of the
money in question was made : so far, however,
was this from being -the case, that Mr. Boldero
swore 'that the Company was then solvent, and
thathe'llinself was, at the time, worth upwards
of 25,0Q01.
Sir SAW EL ROMILLY confessed, on the part of
the assignees, -that thiS was a hard Case on Miss
Boldero. The question, however, was this—'
'could Mr. Boldero, . who was clearly, .in right of
his wife, entitled to this sum, be.alloWed to give
it away, without cause or consideration of any
hind, to the prejudice of his creditors ? The vriei
no doubt, mighti.etthe same time, have demanded ,
a settlement ; but instead of doing so; her -bus-
band and she had ,choten to dispose of it altoge-
ther ;, this, too, they had done in a way which ,
could not he allowed, and which could not now be
yectified, the money haiiing got into the hands of
the husband.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it must be ex-
trernely-difficult for ttke Court to give effect to
such an application as the present, the agreement
or contract on the part of the husband;going, so
infinitely beyond what the wife could have de-
manded or insisted on in a Court of Equity. -Here
the husband gave up all, which he could not have
been required, nor would any Court of Equity
have compelled him to do: Its Lordship wished ,
that every inquiry should be made into the cir-
cumstances attending the present trust, for the
Purpose of ascertaining how far the executors, by
whom the mones.,w3s paid over, had interposed
fo; the benefit of the.wife, to preserve, her ennity
to her ; and if they had refused to give up to •
Mr. Bolder° the. legacy in question, unless he
made a .settlement of it, upon tier, or upon her.
fam ly.
Mr. Mot TAGUE'hoped that, in the mean time,
the assignees would be prohibited from makineany
dividend ; which was agreed to.
Mr. RICHARDS said, he was afraid he could
throw no additional...light on the subject, except
the,single tact, that the receipt for the mone,y was
signed, both by Mr. and Mrs. Baldero. lie also
submitted.that, if compromise could he entered
into, such aoneasnre would he highly proper in -
such a case ; and, as in other similar ease f., that . •
the one half of the sum claimed would be a rea-
sonable ;cOmpromise.
The LoitD CHANCELLOR said it would be proper
that every inquiry as to _what passed between Mr.
Boldero and the executors, at the time the money
was paid, ought to be made ; and his Lordship
recommended, if possible, that a compromise
should be effected.

EXETER, AUG. 12.—The corn harvest has corn-
,
menced generally in this neighbourhood, with the-
most .favourable prospect of an abundant crap.
Fu the memory of the oldest inhabitant the corn-
fields never appeared finer, or more luxuriant,
the ears are remarkably large;. and filled with.
most excellent grain. Np sunit, rust, nor mil-
dew is discernible any where. The weather dur-
ing:the last week has been unusually fine, and
there is every reason to hope for its continuance,.
which will enable the farmer to reap his.goiden
fields, and dispense the blessings of plenty to all
around.
