Philadelphia Papers, to the 28th of Nl,lrch, ar-
rived yesterday. Their contents are unimportant.
- Two packets, which sailed from Dieppe
.on
IVednesday morning at five o'clock, arrived the
same night at Brighton. Amoni, the passengers
is an English Gentleman, who had recently come
from Havre de Grace. This Gentleman infiirms
us, that a very serious disturbance took place at
•Havre on Sunday morning. It began in the
church at the close of the service, in consequence
of the/military, who, were assembled there, hav-
ing cried out, " Vice l' .nipereur," and of all the
civil part of the r.ongregation having answered by
a cry of " Vice le Roi." A dreadful conflict en-
stied, in which fifteen lives are said tp haVe been
lost ;- and the military were in the end neaten' and •
dispersed. The conscription decreeis followed tip
with great rigour, and 'alas misery throughout
every part of the country.

,Wc art assured by a Correspondent; on wb9se
accuracy we can rely; that not many days ago the
white tladeas publicly paraded through the streets
of Lille ; and that DROUET, the commander of the
fortress, having arrested some of the citizens for
crying Vive le Roi, was forced by the apprehension
of still greater tumults, to suffer then, to go away
unpunished. Similar- scenes are known to Have
also taken ;dace at Amiens.
The wind has been so. favourable for the last
three days, that the principal part of otrr last em-
barkation of eavaby ate probably by this time
safely landed at Ostend.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess. of YORK'S
birth-thy will be kept on Monday next at Frog-
more.

In addition to the propnsed angmentition of
the Royal Staff Corps, whose-services were found
so valuable in the Peninsular War, the Duke of
WELLINGTON has, we are informed, suggested
the formation of a Corps of Pioneers, to be at-
tached to the Quarter Master General's Depart-
ment : it is to be formed on the same principle of
the Corps of Guides in the French-service, and
considerable numbers of the old soldiers of the'
Foot Guards, have been already selected as Ser-
jeant and Corporals ; the utility of such a corps
must be apparent. General CAPEL has, it is said,
been recommended as Chief Pioneer, with the al-
lowances of a Major General on the Staff.

Mrs. MOUNTAIN'S FAREIVELL.—This Performer,
who has so long and so deservedly, been one of the
chief Favourites of the Public, t;ok her f.pirewel
of the Stage last night, at the KING'S THEATRE.
The respect in which her talents' and character are
held, was evident in a house crowded to 'such an
excess, that almost as many persons were rejected
as were able to obtain admission. The dramatic
pieces were The Cabinet, The Review, and The.
Feast of Apollo, and a grand ballet, supported
by all the Operatic dancers, which concluded
the whole. In the course, of the evening Mrs.
MOUNTAIN delivered, Or rather attempted to,
deliver, an Address of respectful gratittide to
the Public, for the long and warm patronage
which she had experienced-r-her -feelings dur-
ing the recital powerfully affecting her utter-
ance.—This Address, as well as the whole
of the entertainments, were received with the
warmest applause, and she retired, or rather,..
was borne off the stage, in a state of helpless
anxiety, amidst the fullest testimony that the oc-
casion admitted, of public respect and esteem.—
The pressure was so great, that much of the iroti
railing in the passage to the Pit was broken away,
and many persons were iu 'imminent danger for
some tittle, but happily no serious accident oc--
curred.
CORN EXCHANGE, MAT s.—Our 'Market was
but thinly supplied this morning, in consequence
of which real fine Wheat fully supported its price,
Init ordinary was unsaleable. Fine Barley was in
demand, and from Is. to 2s. dearer. Boiling
Pease were dull, and,2s. per qUarter cheaper. Oats
' being in demand, have advanced Is. per qtiarter.
In other kinds of Grain there was no material al-
teration.
SMITHFIELD, MAY s.—This day's Market Lad a short sup-
ply of the different kinds of Cattle; Beef, Mutton, and Pork,
were cheaper ; Veal was dearer; Lamb sold at last price; and
the trade in general was not over brisk. The sales in the
Hay-niarket were not lively ; Hay and Clover have dropped
in price; Straw fetched last
price..
