lIATS A.ND BONNETS.
It has been settled in a cabinet council of March tindes de
116'des, at which Ilerbault presided, that the size of hats
should be a little increased this winter; that is to say, that
the brims should be a little wider and deeper, for the crowns
still remain low. Hats for morning dress must have the brim
rather close ; those for evening parties, or for the theatre,
are wider, and cut so as to stand out from the face. Vel-
vet, Terry velvet and satin, are the materials most in
request. Some fancy ones, both in silk, satin, and vel-
vet, have appe.ired, and perhaps later in the season may
G adopted, but with the exception of /mat de me; Mitch

( PRICE 7D.)

• is a silk of uncommon richness, they are not at preseidin
favour. Hats of poneeau, dark blue, or rose-coloured•
velvet, are generally lined with the same Material and
colour, and trimmed with a single feather also to corres-
pond. A blond lace ruche decorates the inside of the
brim. Satin hats are always lined with velvet of a diffe•
rent colour, and trimmed in general with a bouquet of
flowers, in which the colour of the lining predominates.
Black satin hats, lined with light-coloured or velours
epingle, are very much in request. Some of the most
elegant have apple-green linings and ribbons, the edges of
the latter are in moire. Curtain veils of black blond lace
are beginning to be worn with these hats. Velvet, moire,
satin, and reps Airicoin are all in favour fur bonnets.
The most novel morning bonnets arc composed of black
velvet, a band of gauze-sone; ribbon passes round the
crown, and retains a knot which partly rises in front of
the crown, and partly falls upon the brim.

WALKING MIMES (PARlslAN.)—PelisPes and walk-
ing gowns are made perfectly plain in the back of the
corsage, and with five flat foldi on each shoulder, which
are confined on each side wader the belt, but do not cross
on the breast. Double capes, cut so as to show the cor-
sage, are the kit winter fashion. The favourite material
is still watered silk, in which the granite and dahlia
shades, and some most beautiful hues of dark green, are
the favourite colours. When the weather requires it,
cloaks of a great variety of patterns and forms, chiefly
figured, are thrown over the pelisses; some are wade with
capes, but the newest cloaks are plaited or gathered very
full into a cape of the peignoir form, and have ❑o falling
cape or pelerine : when capes are worn, the full ones and
pointed pelerines seem to divide the mode; perhaps there
is a greater number of the former. No short fut' is worn
in boas, except the variety of sables or the martins. Isa-
bella bear is the favourite fur, and when soft the darkest
is preferred. A tout ensemble in walking dress that first
appeared on the 20th Nov. is as follows:
Walking dress of clear brown Ottoman satin ; the skirt
quite plain, the sleeves plaited into low poignets turned
up with three ornamental buttons. A large black cash-
mere, a boa of martin, a hat of granite velvet or wa-
tered silk, trimmed with a simple knot, and a demi-vei
of blonde.

Another—A pelisse of redingote of watered silk of
vert acanthe ; at the hem three tucks of ♦elvet of the
same shade ; a pelerine of velvet, open in front ; hat of
plain black velvet ; mantle, huridan.
Another ensemble is as follows :—Dress of dahlia wa-
tered silk, with a bias at the bottom of two hands'
breadth of velvet of the same shade; at the head of this
hem a rouleau of mat tin fur; a little velvet collar trimmed
with martin ; poignets of the same. Bibis bonnet of
vert chosu velvet, lined with white satin, and a white
plume and blonde detni-veil. On cold days- a splendid
liuridatt mantle, with full sleeves, is partially thrown over
this costume. Cloaks are seldom made without full sleeves,
particularly when they have no capes.

white satin capute, and the brim is bordered with a blond
lace ruche, and trimmed on the inside with blond lace, and

GENTLEMEN'S.
(From the Gentleman's Magazine of Fashion.)
NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESS.

Gentlemen's winter frock coats are now universally
made of napped Harlington ; or those who object to the
tufted surface of a Harrington, wear a stout-milled kersey.
Fashion, in this respect, seems to be imperative; for gen-
tlemen will not uow wear two coats while one can be
made to do. It should be observed that the Harrington
frock is made to supersede the necessity of a great coat.
Therefore they should be made warm by wadding and
lining the body; velvet collar and facings are necessary,
and the shape is a double breast, few single breasts being
worn at this time.

Dress•costs the same as last month, without any varia-
tion ; the colours chiefly black or blue, with flips.
For morning trousers the ribbed kersey and ribbed De
Lune are now very general. Dress trousers remain the
same.

Morning waistcoats are either cashmere shawls or
oriental imitations, and are always made double-breasted,
wish large lappels and collars, to turn down or stand up
at pleasure.

AN APOLOGY FOR A HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

—The following is a copy of a letter sent by EAsTwOOO,
one of the fellows who a short time since robbed Mr.
GLADWIN, of Laindon, to YOUNG, the constable of lie-
rongate, who allowed bins to escape :

" Nov. 14, 1832.

" I am very sorry I got led into such a disgraceful thing as I
were, but I were led into it when I were about half tipsy, and
I did not know what they was agoing to do,—but I went away
with them, and if you will oblige me to go to Mr. Gladwyn to
morrow morning, and if you will ask Mr. Battsford or Mr.
Richardson to go with you to make an apology for me, to grant
me free pardon to say what I know about it, and I will come
down to go with you on Friday morning.—So no more from me.

" ABRAHAM EASTWOOD,"
Mr. EASTWOOD has forgotten to mention how the letter
in reply to his proposals is to be directed.
BRITISII INCOME AND TAXATION.--A
question is often asked, what proportion of a man's in-
come is taken from him in taxes? Now, the total income
of the people of Great Britain may be estimated on data
which we have not room to specify at 250,000,0001.
That of Ireland we may assume at 50,000,0001., making
in the whole for the United Kingdom 300,000,0001. Of
this sum more than one-sixth is drawn directly by Go-
vernment. But that is not whole. The local taxes
amount to a very large sum. The poor-rates in England
exceed 8,000,0001. Other local taxes and contributions
probably amount to 10,000,0001. more. Then, as we
have already explained, the higher and richer classes are
exempted in a great measure from contributing their pro.
per share of the national taxation. When these different
circumstances are taken into view, it will har.lly be dis-
puted that one-third part of every man's income, in the
middle and lower classes of society, is taken away by the
rax-collector. Every man who works nine hours a day
is employed during three of these hours to enable him CO
pay his taxes,-,.m Fait's Magazine,

announced that the service of the landstrum was
prepared.
" The ardour with which our invitation to volun-
tary arming was answered, and the patriotic feelings
manifested as well by the first ban of the schuttery
as by the land and naval force, have, however,
enabled us to defer making use of this ariciitionqi
force till the moment when greater dangers should
threaten our native land.

" Divine Providence has been pleased to Full r
this momenetoiee.
" Our merchantmen are placed under embargo in
ihe ports of France and England and captured, at:
sea by the fleets of those Powers, which are cruis-
ing on our coasts. A strong Fill army has en-
tered with the avowed intentionizicking the
citadel of Antwerp. This army will .7%1.f0re be
in a position near to our territory, which 1741(iii.g•
been threatened by the armed- force of Belgium.
"The consequence of these events are uncertain,
but the sons of Old Holland, who in these latter
times have again proved themselves to be worthy
of their ancestors, ought to be prepared for all pos-
sible consequences, and had a right to demand that
everything should be done that the national institu-
tions prescribe for the defence of the country.
"Our decrees of the nth of November arid of
this day have provided for this case. Their objper
is to call out the 2d and 3d ban of the schuttety,
and the arming of the nation. They call out the
landstrura. .

PROJECT OF LAW.

" We, William, &c.—Considering that the ap-
pearance of an English and French fleet on our
coasts, end the enhance of a French army into Bel-
gciurn, make it necessary to call out the lands!rum
for the defence of our territory.
" That according to article 79 of the law of the
I Ith of April, 1827, the further measures relative
to this call are to be taken in concert with the
States-General,

" By the advice of our Council of State, and
with the concurteuce of the States-General, we
have ordained—

" 1. The landstrum is composed of all men able
to bear arms who are not already in person in the
army or navy, the national militia, the schuttery, or
any corps of volunteers formed with our approba-
don, and who have completed the age of nineteen
years, and are under fifty years of age.
" 2. The service of the landstrum is no exemp-
tion from the duty of serving in the militia or the
schuttety, nor any hindrance to engagements for a
fixed time, either personally or as a substitute, in
the army or navy, or corps of volunteers approved
by us.

" 3. The following are exempt :
" Ist. Persons disqualified by sickness or bridily
infirmity.
" 2d. The clergy of all denominations.
" 3d. Licensed pilots at the mouths oft he rivers."
NOVEMBER 27.—Men-of-war continue to be seen
out at sea all along our coast.

Accounts from Liefkenshock of the 23d say tha
the dike near the fort had been pierced, after two
hours' labour, before the French perceived it. About
eight in the morning live horsemen, one of them an
officer, with about one hundred infantry, were seen
marching to the dike. The horsemen came to the
dike to see what our people had done, on which our
gun-boat, stationed to cover the work, fired a six-
pounder, by which one man was killed and two
horses wounded; the others fled, and the infantry
also soon retired. Up to seven in the morning of
the 24th the enemy had not again appeared. The
water flowed rapidly through the opening, and the
country people were hastening to secure their pro-
perty.

On Saturday morning the firing of heavy guns
was again heard at sea at Flushing.
BREDA, Nov. 25.—A Frene% deserter of the re-
giment of the Duke of Orleans arrived here yester-
day from Capelle, and to-day a subaltern officer of
the 23d regiment of the line. They complained of
the fatiguing and long marches they had been obliged
to make, of bad treatment from the inhabitants of
Belgium, &c.

•
THE HAGUE, Nov. 25.—0 n the 22d, 400 French
infantry arrived at Sautvliet, and 200 at Beren-
drecht. There are 3,000 at Calrnpthout, 1,000 at
Niewrnoor, and 4,000 at Capelle.
The Belgians at Turnhout have been relieved by
French troops.
BREDA, Noy'. 24.—We hear that orders are
given to inundate the country about Steenberge:r,
to cover the province on that side.
