CITY POST ASSEMBLY.

A Meeting of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and
Common-CounCil, was yesterday held,. to consider,
the steps necessary to be taken by the Corporation,
upon the subjet of
,a charge made against an: Al_
derman, of drinking as a Toast, the Health of
" James Napper Tandy, General of Division, and
" success to Freedom ;" when the opinions of the
Attorney-Generaland the Recorder, that the crime
was punishable by irdiament, were read. As the
former part of this business was concluded in pri-
vate, we deem it unnecessary to state more of the
particulars; than that. the Alderman accused hav-
ing appeared the Commons Room, and made a
full submission and ample apology for his miscon_
dud, a general disposition seemed to prevail, of let-
ring the matter die away ; but the Papers upon the
subjed were referred w the Law Commi;tee.

Several Parties from the Guards yesterday left
town upon the Recruiting Service.
Tuesday marched into Canterbury from Dover,
the first division of the Second Battalion 52d Re.
giment of Foot, and yesterday morning marched for
Chatham Barracks.

By a Letter from Havre-de-Grace, dated Sth
inst. BONAPARTE is stated to have arrived there the
day preceding, and was received with every de-
monstration of joy. The City was illuminated
in the evening, and a brilliant display of fire
works was exhibited. His train of Attendants
occupied a space of ground nearly three quarter sof
a mile in length. He is indefatigable in inspeaing
the fortifications and public works, and is going,,it
is said; to make great improvements.
Our information•of Mr. VocHEZ having quitted
Hampstead for Paris,' was premature, that Gentle-
man having been detained in London waiting the
arrival of the French Ambassador, from whom he
expeds to, derive the means of enabling him shortly
to discharge all his engagements in this Country
contraded on account of the French Prisoners, with
credit to himself toad his Government, whose sub-
jects in captivityahe vidualied and cloatbed with so
much reputation to himself, and satisCadion to the
unfortunate persons committed to his care.
Mr. MANSFIELD, the celebrated Chancery
Pleader, it is said, means soon, on account of his
advanced age, to retire from the Bar. From his
long and extensive pradice, his fortune is supposed
to be very considerable.
There is no regulation in London, which mote
nearly concerns the Inhabitants of every descrip-
tion, and which is more negleded and abused, than
that which respeds the Light;ng the Streets. In
every Parish in the Metropolis, there is cause for
complaint in this resped. The greater part of the
Lamps are generally burnt cut by one o'clock, and
the remaining few throw so dim and flint a light,
as to affard protedion neither to the Dwellings or
Persons of the Inhabitants. We trust this neglea
will speedily be looked into, and correded.
When the French were in Egypt, Citizen RIGo,
a Painter, was very anxious to take the likeness of
a man of the name of ABD-EL-KERINI, who was
remarkable for his countenance, which was truly
Nubian. Citizen Rico had the greatest difficulty
to persuade ABD-EL-KERINI to come to his house.
At last he came, with ten or twelve of his coun-
trymen, well armed, and used all the precautions of
a man who was afraid of being entrapped. flow.
ever, by degrees, he took courage, and at last con-
sented to dismiss his guard, and Citizen Rico then
began his pidure, which was as large as life. The
Nubian appealed at first sight to be very mHch
pleased with the outlines of the pitture, and pointed
out with his finger parts of the pidure and corres-
ponding parts of his face, frequently exclaiming
taibe (very

lay on the colour, hislitapsations were very different.

ror, and ahsolutely, roared out with fear. It was
impossible to appease him---,he rushed out of the
house, and fled with the greatest rapidity and

strongly marked on his countenance, he told them
that he had just come from: a house where they had

JERSEY, Nov. ;.

THE particulars, that led to the loss of the Pp
?Ilona were these ; When she was to be concluded
from Guernsey to Jersey, a Jersey Pilot who had
taken a passage on board of her, was applied 10.
He said he could not conscientiously engage to pi-
lot a Vessel of such a draft of water, in the night,
and at low water, through the rocks, with which
the South and South-west of the Island abound. On
11;s refusal, an English Pilot offered to undertake
the charge of her. She struck on a rock near Noir•
mont Point, and would have been totally demolished►
had ,not the Jersey man taken charge of her, and
rim her on shore 'near the Tower,. where s 1 lay ott
her side, on the sand, till such tepairs had been
made, fs were sufficient to take her to England,
where she is now arrived. . The adventurous Pilot
will have no reason to complain of the sentence-
d-1;a awaits; him.

A Plan is now under consideration for the speedy
recruitment of the Royal Navy by. means of re-
gisters, without having recourse "to the invidious -
