Ar nine O'clock- yeverdav morning the St.
James's Westminster Loyal Volunteers assembled;
at their usual parade, unafer the command ot Major
DOWNS. The Royal York Mary.le.Bone VOIUD:
teers mustered about the same time, under the coin,
mand of Lieut.. Col. Sir HENRY VAVASOUR. At
ten the London Volunteer Cavalry, Cul. ANDER;
TON; the &tuthwark Cavalry, Capt. COL L INGDON
the ‘Vestminster Volunteer Cavalry, Col. ELL iorr ;
'and the London Dismounted Cavalry, with their
two pieces of Flying Artillery, under the command
of Capt. BLACKETT, mustered in Hyde Park. They
were soon met by General the Earl of BANBURY'
and Gen. LUMLEY, who advanced at their head to
the first Bridge on the Paddington Canal. The
Gray's Inn Rifle Corps was also conveyed in the
Caravant belonging to the' Dismounted Cavalry.—
They met the St. James's and the Royal York near
the first -Bridge of the Canal, and halted a few mi.
nutes opposite the house of Mr. SCOTT, who sup.
plies gardens with gravel and mould. A few Am.
muniticn Waggons then advanced over the second
Bridge, escorted by two Companies of the St.
James's, and the Grenadiers of the Royal York,
under the command of Lieut.-Col. MONCK, of the
Royal York. They advanced by the side of the
Canal to the third Bridge. The remainder filed off
to the left towards Kensington way, and came round
to the third Bridge by that road. They then bait.
cd at Westbourn Green about a quarter of an hour,
sending out.scouts forward to find which way the
others had gone. At length, they learned, that the
others had posted themselves on the Harrow Road,
near Kelsall Green. Brigadier General BANBURY
ordered his Pickets forward. It was then found
that the party which had advanced before them had
jollied the French, whose force was not exaftly
known, but who were generally supposed to consist
of the two Battalions of Queen's Royals, the Prince
of Wales's, and the Royal Westminster. At the
fourth Bridge the outposts of the Enemy were drove
beck. The Gentlemen of the Gray's Inn Rifle
Corps appeared 'to he very eager in the attack, and,
in hedge firing on Kelsall Green, a spark of fire
caught the powder. in the horn of one of its Mem.
bets, by which he received a severe contusion in
his hand, and some other injury of a slighter
nature. He was taken to the house of JERE-
MIAH JEFFERY, the Sign of the Plough, on the
Green.- where his wounds were dressed by the Sur-
geon belonging to the 'London Cavalry. In the
mean time there was a very warm contest for the pos.
session of the fourth Bridge, and the French finding
that 'it was no longer tenable, blew up the Bridge.
The Cavalry made a very heavy charge, in the hope
that the attempt had not .succeeded ; but finding
the bridge impassable,- they were under the neces.
sity of falling back. The advanced posts of each
Army then ann4ed each other incessantly across
the Canal by stoopingdown and firing over the banks
or firing under the shelter of quickset hedges for
some time. The Advanced Guard of the Enemy were
then compeled to post themselves upon a plain near.
ly oprsite. the Mitre Tavern. The Commander
to Chief of ta; British Forces ordered Captain
BLA-CRETT forward with his Field Pieces, who di.
reeled his guns with such circa that the fire of the
Enemy soon slackened. The English Army was
then divided into two bodies; one crossed the sth
bridge just 'above the Mitre, and the other advanced
to the 6th bridge. The body which went over the
g'h bridge, saw a Marquee for the reception of
Major PowNss and his friends, and supposed that
it belonged to the Enemy. This they itnmediately
struck. In the midst of their fighting they were
not totally 'unmindful of game ; two hares were
started and taken; one was given to the Commander
in Chief, and the other was kept by a Private in,
the Sr. James's Corps. The Advanced Posts of the
Enemy fell back to their Main Army, where they
had four tents pitched at the further extremity of
Wprmwood Scrubs.. The Cavalry made a heavy
charge upon the Advanced Posts, .and Gen. Lust.
LRY observed, that they were too small a handful
of men to stand it, though they stood firm to re.
ceive the charge. The Cavalry, at the wave of
his sword, filed off before they came quite up to
them. This engaged the attention of the Enemy,
and the Right Wing of the British then grossed the
6th bridge, and surprised their Camp. They, how.
over, stood two or 'three excellent volleys, and
then surrendered; It was now discovered that the
idea of pitching rents and making such a display of
Advanced Guards, was'only a ruse dr Gmerre. The
whole French Army ,consisted only of the three
Companies which had at first advanced. The whole
took such refreshment as each had provided in his
canteen and haversack, and rested for about an hour
and a halt. After which they returned to their diffe.
rent Parades, where they were each dismissed with the
thanks of their respedive Commanding Officer,,
about seven o'clock in the evening. The day was
remarkably fine, and a vast concourse of people as-
sembled to behold this military spedacle. HoMER's
Boats were crowded, but no accident occurred upon
the water. There were also several coaches full of '
Ladies, and a great number of Pedestrians.

Yesterday afternoon, th.e 4th Regiment of Loy.::
London Volunteers, commanded' by Colonel Sir
CRT/tit!, BS PRICE, and the •sth Regiment of Loyal
London, under •the command of Colonel SMlnr, pa.
railed at their respective place, of exercise, and
marched from thence to Kennington Common, where
they went through the evolutions in a manner that
shewed a very rapid improvement.
On Monday a very large detachment from the
whole line at Lexklen Campo matched to Galley.
wood, CoMmOn,-, and encamped on the race ground.
The ()Ned of this movement is to complete, with
all possible expedition, the very formidable and.ex.
tensivs chain of redoubti-• which are intended to
,oppose the progress—of the Enemy, should they el.
feet a landing on the Coast of Essex. Twelve
tired men are daily employed on this important

SVPTEMUER 4,

YESTERDAY morning the Troops encamped here
struck shirr tents, and moved, in complete marching
order, with the two B•igades of Artillery. They,
filed off across the Vallzy of Ottery Sr. Mary, and
mounting the lofty hill to the eastward, encamped
fur the night on thedlcights about a mile to the
westward of the little Village of Sidbury, 'situated
in the Vale of Sidmouth. This morning they
struck tents again, and moved down towards the
Beach at SidmOuth, which They reached about half
past ten o'clock. Tio Troops were here drawn
up, as if prepared to oppose the landieg of an Enc.
my. Two Corps lined the western side of the Bay,
the Artillery were drawn up in the centre, and the
third Regiment formed the left. Six• rounds of ball
cartridge were fired by each Corps, and three rounds
of the Shell newly invented by Major SIIRAPNELL,
of the Royal Artillery, from a twelve pounder, to
try its efied, which was considered as admirable.
The Shell exploded- upon couching the. water, 'and
the shot ricochetted to a great distance all round.
Its destruclive property amongst Boats was clearly
perceptible. About half past twelve the Troops
moved from the right up the Signal-hill to the west-
ward of Sidmouth, and marching along the hills to
the north of it, came to the ground here which they
bad left yesterday morning. The different Corps
were in full marching order, with sixty rounds of
ball cartridge each Mans his great coat, blanket,
haversack and canteen, with three days provisions;
and they were in every respell equipped as if march.
ing against an Eenemy.
Brigadier-General GOR V, who commands the
Camp, moved at the head of the Column, and
Lieutenant. General StmcoE marched wit,h them to
Sidmouth. Thera were • likewise present Major.
General Cow ELL, Brigadier-General Tuomm, and
their respeaive Aides-de-Camp, with several other
Officers of the Staff of the Dist tit%

Yesterday the Christchurch (Surrey) Volunteers,
Major LANCASTER, mustered at the Tenter Ground,
in Blacktriars.road, cr,lin whence they marched out
for a Tepid,' field exercise : though, from various
causes, they are small in number, they are in an ex.
cellent state of discipline.
The B 'rough Union Corps, viz. M.'j'ir Pores,
the St. Savi,,nr's ; Major K i NG's, the Si. John's ;
and Captain SHAW'S, the Sc. Olave's, were also out ;
they ad, when together, as a demi-brigade, in a very
go d style.
Theist Surrey Regiment, Colonel GA rrocELL,
with their Rifle Corps, were mustered in .Montpelier
Ground, Walworth, yesterday, and went through
all the most tLflicult manoeuvres of a Battalion with
great spirit, steadiness, and precision; advancing
and retiring in line, by wings and alternate com.
panics, forming close and open columns on the cen.,
tre, the right and left companies then deploying
into line, after regaining on each deploy, their for-
mer alignment, by art echellon movement, taking a
new line, first to the right and then to the left of
their former position, forming squares, by quarter,
half, and hollow squares, and solid columns ; all of
which were performed in an excellent stile.
The skirmishing Of the Rifle Corps and Light
Company of Sharp Shooters, on the Flanks, the Rear,
and in the Front, was admirably well performed.
The Clapham Corps, the Battersea, the Wands.
worth, and the Putney, were also out at their seve.
ral Parades, and harvest being over, made very good
musters.

DUELLING.—In the time of the last War, an,
English Officer had some trifling altercation with
an Austrian Officer at the Theatre at Lisle.—
The next morning, very unexpeftedly, he was
called upon by the. Colonel of the Austrian Regi-
ment, who told him that " he had affronted one 'of
his Corps; and any oftence ofremd-toan
was considered as ?Waal to the whole; and the rule
oftheir Corn was,that the `Jffender must,if necessary,
fight them all, beginning with the Commanding Of.
ficer..—he had the honour of being that Officer, and"
—The Englishman assured him at had not been his
intention to offend any Gentleman, and requested to
consult his friends who were in the next room.—.
He returned in a few miutes, and' thus addressed
the-challenger : ‘, Sir, nye are six of
,us ; English
.and Irish ; antis to give you sestisfatho)s, we six will
fight any tquelgJe of you. It is now (lookingsat his
watch) _right 'o'clock. We have some regimental
business to procoed on at ten ; if you will have ithe
goodness to let the meeting be at nine, it will be
esteemed a favo ar." The Austrian took up his hat,
and marched, off in silence.

A Letter from Rouen, of the 18th, mentions Am,
following shocking accident : A Imvesi was,
reaping the wheat in this neighbourhood, accnm._
panted with hii wife, who suckled a young child k
when working she laid the child down upim sottxt
wheat. The husband, tired of hearing the continual,
cries of the child, repeatedly told his wite to Laic it
up and feed it. On going towards the child, what
was her terror, in observitT a serient entering rho:
mouth of the innocent babe ! She attempted to' straw
outp but it was too late ; the child ,was, alti:4.l3e-
choaked. At the cries of the mother,, the fathet
joined her,' overwhelms her reproaches, arid, ta',
the anger excited in him by
pitelnd tenderness,
he struck this uofortunate woman with his sickle, its
such a manner that she fell down dead upon the
corpse of her child. The wletched harvest min, in,

On the :Ist inst. terrible murders were commit.
ted in the town of La Rochelle, of which the fol.
lowing are the particulars. A young man from,
Paris, of the name of Durso 's, aged z+, and a De.
seller from several Regiments', desiring to take aa...
vantage of the Imperial Amnesty, was lodged for
two days by the widow Ditsrot API L k Towards five
o'clock in the morning he left his o4amber, entered
the kitchen, and with four wounds from a knife,
killed the servant maid. He then entered the bed,.
room of the mistress of the house, drew suddenly
open the curtains of her bed, and with tire same
knife gave her three wounds in the breast, and three
others in the face. After a long resistance, this un..
'fortunate woinati expired upon the fluor, to which,
she had been dragged. A young girl of 14, lodged.
there from charity, at the cries of her benefaaress,,,
went to her assistance, but on seeing her welterink
in her blood screamed our aloud, The assassin'
threatened her with the same fate if she did not_
give him the keys, and shew him the drawers where-
the money was ker. The yceung girl refused with,
courage, and made efforts to raise up het benefactress,.

and when he attempted to make it straight for-
killing the giti, broke •to pieces. Without arms
to strike the young person, he dragged her by force
to her room, and was busy carrying away the
Oates when a woman of the neighbourhood, whiz
hall heard the cries of the deeeased, began to knock_
:it the door; demanding immediate entrance. The
murderer, frightened, then jumped through the.
window, but was fortunately orstied by a gunner,
who took, and delivered him over to ju
