ness prr.c,eetled to his Office in the Horse Onards,
and held a` Levee as CommAlider in Chief.--4
Among those present were Major Conk:, Aid-de-
Came to Sir GEORGE PREVosT, on his return from
America, general WEl'Mss, Major Generals PITZ.
ROY, C. MtortaAv, T. llAtiox, it. TAYLOR, etc.
Several ships arrived yesterday with p tut of the
troops recently composing the etpeditinn against
New Orleans. These forces are to be 'Sent, as
soon as cireinnstances Will admit, to join the army
' under the Duke of 6VELIANGTONr. .
The remains (about 250) of that gallant retti•
inent, the 85th, who distinguished thethselves
the late American campaign, Particularly at wevr
Orleans; arrived at Dover yesterday mot ning;llii
their rJure to the depot of the regiment at flythel,
hating landed yesterday at Deal.
His Majesty's ship Trave, having on board fire
companies of the King's own regiment, under the
command of Major IVlLLtAmsoti; and his Maa
jesty's ship Weser, with thy remaindur of the NA-
gitnent, tinder the command rd .Capt. ELETtIIER,
turtle to anchor at Spithead on SnhAly lasi: -titer
an absence of five years from England. This re-
giment was engaged in all the principal action%
under the Duke of WEr.witrroN in the Peiinsola#
and afte'rwards at Washington, and before
More tinder General Ross. Since leaving Eng..
I,ind,it has lost upwards of 2,600 men and 800 E..
ficers; in killed and %rounded.
Previous to the Scorch Greys.embarking for the
Coininenti their Colonel, Sir JAMES STEWART)
promised that, On the rcturti of the-regiment, he
would grant to each tnatt 'who then wished to
leave the service, a small allotment of land of the
value of 8/. per annum on his estate near Ilona*
ton, in Lanarkshire, for the purpose of building a
cottage, and planting a garden'.

Further particulars have reached town of tilt
cohnuotionswhich took place at Dieppe on Wed-
neSday last. On the seamen, fishermen, and
boat Men, &c. being called upon to march for the
armies, they obstinately refused to.do so, and de-
clared they would die first. Numbers of the re-
fractory men assembled together, and hoisted the
white cockade : a military force was brought
against them, and they were at length dispersed,
but not until several lives were lost. It was ex-,
pected 'that some ringleaders who were taken•into
custody would have been tried and punished; but
Government deemed it 'prudent to set them at
li-
berty, and to content themselves with sending for
trial, to Paris, a Nobleman named DE CLERCI,
to whom the- disturbances that had taken place
were chiefly attributed ; 'or whom it was at least
thought convenient Ito mark out as an object of
vengeance.

'Sift een, months ago, BoortAPARTE, when be was
bard pressed by the Allies, and his of were in
a very bad way, in a moment approximated the
Jacobins. It was at this time, that on his return
from a visit to the tauxbourgs, St. Antoine and St.
Marceau, for the purpose of gaining the popu.
lace, and when his Courtiers blamed this ridicu.
lons attempt at popularity, be replied to them,
" Gentlemen, you may say what you please; but
there are no nobility like the canaille of the faux,•
bourgs ; and no canaille like the nobles whom
have created."

In consequence of the assertions of Moxaos,
the American Secretary of State, that Blacks had
been taken off from the United States, and sent ,
to the %Vest Indies, and there sold, as slaves, Sit
ALEXANDER cOCHRANE, before he left Bermuda,
addressed an official "letter on the subject to the
American GpVernment, in which he disproves the
calumny; -.and demands Moriaoz's grounds on
which he made the assertion. The, Admiral con-
cludes his letter by observing, that if Mr.Mobl..
110E.i 'informants had been acquainted with the
regulations established in all the British West
India Islands since the Abolition of- the Slave
Trade, they would have known the total impossi-
bility (4 introducing' slaves into any of them in
the manner they state. .
It is, said, that before the American Officers
who were prisoners at HalifaZ left the place on
their return-home, they way-laid one night
.the
printer of a newspaper who had inserted some
articles_ on their conduct, and beat him in the
most ,iyiolent and unmanly manner ; but while
they weke in the act of committing this assault,
a party of our own Naval Officers, attracted by
:the noise; came up, and learning how matters
stood, _ they in return fell on the Americans, and
put them to flight, after a sharp contest, having
given them a complete and deserved threshing.
Yesterday, at .two o'clock, his Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant arrived at the Castle, in good
health and spirits, to the general joy of the citi-
zens of Dublin.--(Dublin Journal, May 13.)
A dreadful accident happened a few day 4 ago
in the vicinity of Shadvvcll, at a Sugar-boiler's;
the man who was attending the boiler unfortu-
nately fell in, and was so much scalded, although
he was instantly taken out, as to linger in the
most excruciating pain until yesterday ntorning,
when he died in the greatest agony at the London
Irrspital,
On Wednesday last, a soldier fell from the bag-
gage waggon of the 58th regiment, which was
marching through Maidstone, from Battle to

Gravesend, and unfortunately broke his leg. Oa
the preceding day, at Battle, a poor woman beA
longing to the same regiment, whilst in the act of

saving tier child, fell off the baggage waggon, and
was hided on the spot.—The child was saved, and
the poor woman's remains were interred at Battle
on Friday.
