NEIMRY, AUG. so.

The whole of last week has been Jubilee : capital
racing, elegant assemblies, luxurious ordinaries, all
mirth and gaiety. Fine weather at length gives. a
Orospeti to a golden' Harvest ; gloom now banished,
all is sun-shine.

. ~ .
The Theatre has been well attended; several over.'
flowing houses. QUICK has [wit-armed in play and
farce every n;glit, and repeated severa.l dehis favtu-
, rite charaders,, by desire of a numerals audience ;
hii benefit yesterday was a bumper. The Theatrical
Company are gone to Gu:Word.

The Earl of MARCH, the gallant heir apparent of
his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND, who has just
Completed his iglh Year, has relinquished all the
luxury and splendour of the Irish Court to .share'
the glory, the danger, and the hardships of the "Bri-
tish, camp in Portugal, According
.to ,letters re-
ci•ived from his' Lordship at Dirblin Castle, •he was
present with Lord 'MILLINGTON, ph the heights
overlooking the Coa, during the late action between
the British advanced guard; undeteGenerai PRAU -
FUND, and the superior French force which attack-
ed it. Having used t e 'utmost. expedition,. Lord•
MARCH arrived at the army just,in tint; to be a
spectator of the most glee-item si3ht (as Ire writes)
that his imagination could. conceive ; aSmall Bri-
tish and Portuguese force, from their diseipline
and • steady courage,; apparently invincible, slowly
and regularlyl retiring to a bridge whi:h contain--
.nieated with their m in army, and at 'ate same
time repelling the repeated attacks Of art almost
overwhelming force of the enemy. The bridge, once
gained, they there made their stand, and the utmost
and long continued etforts.of the enemy were insuffi-
cient to remove them. Heee is an eximiple worthy
of the imlasien of our young Noo li.y ! Here is a
youth that recalls the illustrious times of Cressy and
Poi&iers ! May his. example find many imitators
-among the British youth of trii exalted'rank. _
The following very extraordinary affair occurred at.
Brighton, on. Friday : The Serjcaut-Major of the
South Gloucester Militia had behaved so exceeding•
ly abrupt and improper to Lient. WILSON, in front of-
theregiment on the parade, on Friday, that an order
of Confinement 'to his own room was, .the •consee
quence. The Serjeant-Major
.has apartments ad-
joining the Guatd-houge ; and- as Liebe WILSON
was on duty thst day, . he soon after discovered the
Serjeant-Major, regardless of the. oreler . that had
been issued, walking bacl“Cardi and forwards, and
partially 'stripped, in the street, in front of the
Guard-house.. The Lieutenant pointed out to him
the telly of his c ondua, and insisted-upon his retir-
ing to his Worn, but which only induced an insulting
and abusive reply. Lieut. .BUBB, of the same re-
giment, at this time joined Lieutenant W. and, be-
mg provoked at the continued insolence of the other,
called out the guard then on.duty, 'consisting of a•
Serjeantetwo Corporals, and eighteen Privates, and
ordered them to take the offender into custody. But
this mandate, though supported by Lieutenant W.
strange, to say 1 the guard refused to obey, and the
astonishment of the Officers-mly. 4e. better _con..
ceived than .expressed. A prompt and vigorous
decision of nation on their parts now became ab-;
solutely requisite. Lieutenant Bu 88, therefore,
drew his sword, and threatened to run the Serjeant-
Majors through the body, if he did notitlutternistant
retire, not to his own worn, but to the Guard-house,
as his latter conaua did not entitle him to such
an indulgence. This resolute demeanour somewhat
*Ounted the Serjeant-Major; and as Lieutenant W.
se. zed. him by the collar at the same instant, to the
Guard-housu they hurried him without further cere.
This had scarcely been. effected, when
Captain SMITH, the Captain of the day, arrived,
who, on learning what had happened, sent for the
Adjutant, and ordered him to atnroint a fresh guard,
and, take the former into custody, which was ac-
cordingly done, with the exception of the Serjeant
only, tt ho was not considered so materially td blame-
Serjeant-Major, two Corp‘rals, and eighteen
privates, are therefore at this time under co'nfine-
went, , and a regular examination into their conduct
will lake place.

It has be m often obse'ryed by politiCl3llS, that State
affairs, w inch are supposed to arise from deep designs,
have,:perhaps, originated in circumstances appare_ni7
ly stifling :.hence it would not b..! surprising if BLY-
ONAPA RTE'S mitigation of I•is mefflorable corn:tier-
cidl Decrees, which is generally attributedie his fi-
nancial embarrassments, (for any regard to his sub-
je is is entirely out
.or the quesfion), hag, in a great
measure, been influenced by his expeCtition ct!. the
disgrace that wilrbe brought on 'him• by the histo-
rical work in preparation by Gelleliir 'SARRAZIN.
It may indeed be alleged that the Tyrant must be
conscious that nothing can be added to the infamy.
of his character; but such " damning proy:s" are
likely to appear in the work alluded to, and particu-
larly•respeeting the secret histoty of his Goveinment,
that l e may naturally be desirous of everting the
odium, by c‘unmercial te,axations, .calcula;ed 0 em-
ploy the minds of his subjects,
.and, in some d -
grey, lessen-theburthens winch he has imposed Upon
them, • •

. As the female poptilation of- France iii,saidtia 'ex-
ceed the males by in, re than five millions, in con-
sequence of the, dreadful haVoc caused 'bv BUONA-
PAATE'S wars, it would not be- wOnderlul if the
rant were to order a conscription of, women to re-
cruit his. armies, since, when his interest or
ambition are concerned, he' spares neither, age nOr

GRAND CRICKET MATCH.--.On Saturday se'n-
night there was a grand match of cricket in the
Piicenix Pork, Duhl:n, between his Grace the Lord-
Lieuieuant and the Officers of toe .7th Light Dra-
goons.. The Vice-Regal party consisted of. the
Lord-Lientenatit, Lord Frankfort, Colonel Rogers,
Mr. Norcott, and seven of his Grace's servants—the
other party, of the officers and privates Of the 7th
(or Paget's Hussars). After a good deal of sport,
the day was. Won. by the Ja.rer. In the evening,
'the Lord-Lientenant. gave a grand dinner to the
contending parties, and several gentlemen and offi-
cers of other regiments, in a tent pitched on the
held for the purpose. The concourse of spectators
was immense.

•
Petitions-had.bcen presented for Mn Sansoin and
the other assignees, under a commi-sion of battk-
..'rupt, taken out against Mr. W. Harrison, srn, Mr.
Goss, Mr. Cook, .Mr. W; Harrison, jun. and Mr. J.
Fairweather .Harrison, carrying on busints ratid_r
the firm of W. Hairismi and. Co. praying the two
several commissions, posterior in dite to the cone,
mission un*r. which the petitioners Were assigne;:s,
the one being a commission against the same C m.
pang',. hut only comprehending. the other loin- part-
ners, with, the exception of J. F. Harrison, and the •
other being a commission against J. F. Harrison alone,
should be.superseded; on the grout.d that the whole
partners of W. Harrison and C. being already made
bankrupt,,no subsequent commission against thein •
could be valid ; that it was for the intereit of all
concerned, that only one commission, compre-
hendtni all the parties,' should continue to be •
worked.
Mr.. LEACH, Mr. BELL, and Mr. lIALL, con.
tewled, that John Fairweather Harrison .was not a
partner 'of' the Company, but only their agent in
London, end that if the commission agringt the the
void as to one it must be void as to the
()titer side,
Sir S. ROMILLY and Mt. MON? AGIJP, insisted) that
J. Fairweather Hart ison was at least a partner as be-
tween the Company and the wodd ; and had been
in the constant liana of accepting and indorsing their
bilis; which were wow in Court to tint; amount of
400;0001. .
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the ques'ion as
to the partnership wit J.'F.• Harrison, so tar as the
public was concernee, a.very nice one. He, there.,
lore, ordered, as the best t.iing for all pdrnes, that in
ordei to try the question of tiartnerAhp, an action
st.oulti be brought by the pe aioniug creditor u der
the eiimmission against the iive for a debt, a, against
the five, anti that, in tile mean time, all procteMogs
under the commission against tile tour, add ititt St•
the one, should cease, except as to the provhig df
debts.

' '. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. '
Several pr,)seeUtions were instituted by. the At.
TORNEY GENERAL against oni'vrt...nl glo%er3 and silk',
merc&ri; to rOuver %he penalty of :1401. e:+chi for
having in their poise,ion' foreign leittnel gloVei and
Bandanna silk handkerchiefs.

The Sooicuroa GgNEHAL, who con'ducled the
,•
prosecution, stated to the Jury,' that offene,..:s of this
nature must be proiecuted with consitle:able sevt-
rity, as the importation ot, goods of ars Jescription
was highly injurious to' the luaoulaclurers of. this
country, and.to the labouring persons who are cm-
ployed• therein, and depend Upon. it for their 'sub-.
sistence, that it' one trader sold them, others were
.„
naturally induced to ,do so too ; that they would
otherwise loSe their custom, as persons who were,
prejudiced favour of • foreign articles, would Ire-
quent that shop where the. foreign articles were to
be sold, and the consequence would tae; that-they
who obeyed the law would suffer by that ob,dienc.:,
and they Who violated the law,wouid profit by the
violation; that he Therefore thongitt it an oblige-
tion'upon those who are to protect the revenu-,
to .hut the I,tw in strict force, in order that—all
traders may be on the same footing, and the British .
manulatimes protected ; and that for tile low::: uu
mitigation whatever would. be nude in the pe-
nalties that flight be strictly incurred. in the above
cases, penaltieS to a considerable amount were re-
coveted.

The. Dutch wilt feel awkward' knowing how
to address BUONAPARTE; when he honours them
with a. visit, as they can in truth only advert to.the
injuries and insults which they have received from
him,..not to any benefits he has bestowed:--But ttpon
this occasion he will kindly exempt them from any
delicate embarrassment on the subjea, by presenting
to them a copy of what he desires them to say, and
then they will only he put to the trouble ofpubscrib•
ins them formal assent.
