GENERAL ORDERS.

Horse-Guards, May 10, 1816.
So long as Major-General Sir Robert Wilson, and Capt. John
Hely Hutchinson, of the Ist or Grenadier Regiment of Foot
Guards, were under trial, the Commander-in. Chief abstained
from making any observation on their conduct.
The proceedings having now terminated, the Commander in
Chief has received the Prince Regent's commands to declare his
Royal Highness's sentiments on the transactions which have led
to the trial and conviction of those Officers.

In the instance of Major General Sir Robert Wilson, the
Prince Regent thinks it necessary to express his high displea-
sure, that an Officer of his standing in his Majesty's service,
holding the commission, and receiving the pay of a Major Ge-
neral, should have been so unmindful of what was due to his
profession, as well as to the Government under whose protection
he had voluntarily placed himself, as to have engaged in a
measure, the declared object of which was to counteract the laws
and .defeat the public Justice of that country. Nor does his
Royal Highness consider the means by which this measure
was accomplished, as less reprehensible than the act itself. For
his Royal Highness cannot admit, that any circumstance could
justify a British Officer in having obtained, under false pre-
tences, passports in feigned names, from the representative of
his own Sovereign, and in having made use of such passports
for himself, and a subject of his Most Christian Majesty, under
sentence of high treason, disguised in a British uniform; not
only to- elude the vigilance of the French Government, but to
carry him in such disguise through the British lines.
'While the Prince Regent cannot but consider it as a material
aggravation of Sir Robert Wilson's offence, that holding so
high a rank in the army, he should have countenanced and en-
couraged an inferior officer to commit a decided and serious
breach of military duty, his Royal Highness nevertheless thinks
it equally necessary to express his high displeasure at the conduct
of Captain John Hely Hutchinson, for having been himself an
active instrument in a transaction of so culpable a nature, more
especially in.a country in amity with his .!ajesty, where the re-
giment, with which he was serving in the course of his military
duty, formed part of an army which had been placed by the
Allied Sovereigns under the command of the Duke of Wel-
lington, under circumstances which made it peculiarly incum-
bent upon every officer of that army to abStain from any con-
duct which might obstruct the execution of the laws.
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, being unwilling
to visit these officers with the full weight of his displeasure,
which the complexion of their offence might have warranted`;
and also taking into consideration the degree of punish-
ment to which they have subjected themselves by violating the
laws of the country in which this transaction took place, has
Signified to the Commander-in-Chief these his sentiments, that
they should be published to the army at large, in order to re-
cord, in the most public manner, the strong sense wliich his
Royal Highness entertains of the flagrant misconduct of these
officers, and of the danger which would accrue to the reputation
and discipline of the British army if such an offence were to
pass without a decided expression of his Royal Highness's Most
severe reprehension.
His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief directs that
this Order shall be entered in the Order Book, and read at the
head of every regiment in his Majesty's service.
By command of his Royal Highness
The Commander-in-Chief, ' •

THE LEVANT.—A Correspondent observes, that
Mons. TOURNEFORT'S Voyage into the Levant,
published in two volumes quarto, in 1718, may
now be read with great satisfaction, as it
contains a most accurate • account of the ancient
and modern state of the Islands of the Archipe-
lago ; as also of Constantinople, the Coasts of
the Black Sea, Armenia, Georgia, the frontiers
of Persia and Asia Minor. This edition is like-
wise illustrated with plans of the principal cities
and towns, and views of the several Islands and
Harbours, and it is likewise enriched with numer-
ous plates of rare plants, animals, &c.—and
forms altogether one of the best and most accu-
rate accounts of the habits, manners, customs,
&c. of the inhabitants of the several countries
mentioned in it.

The late President Wv.s.r being subject to the
gout, it attacked his right hand while he was
painting his great picture of Death on the Pale
Horse; but this did not check his ardour, for he
proceeded with his left hand, and the whole was
finished by himself without any assistance.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE.—A case
of suicide, committed under very singular cir-
cumstances, occurred at Glasgow on Tuesday
last (the 16th inst.) An elderly man, whose
name we forbear mentioning, who had occupied
a respectable situation in Kirkintilloch for nearly
forty years, left his home that morning, and, ac-
companied by a neighbour, came into the city.
On the way the unhappy man informed his com-
rade that he designed committing self-murder,
for which purpose he had provided himself with
a pistol. The cause he assigned for meditat-
ing this act we have not heard with sufficient
accuracy to justify our stating it. His compa-
nion, instead of being alarmed, or of dissuading
him from his purpose, coolly remarked that what
" he meant to do, he must do quietly !" and in
furtherance of this humane advice, when they
arrived in town, he accompanied his friend to a
public-house in the Gorbals, and after order-
ing a bottle of ale, the fellow went out to the
door, in order to guard his insane compa-
nion against interruption, while 'committing the
dreadful act which was to precipitate him
in a moment into the presence of his offended
Maker ! Immediately thereafter the report of
a pistol was heard, and the landlord, hastening
into the room, found the unfortunate man ex-
tended on the floor; his hand had been lifted
with too steady an aim to his head, and he
had literally blown off the upper part of his
skull. The brute to whom it may be said he
osi-ed his dismal end, was taken into custody,
carried before the Fiscal, and examined ; but
the law contemplating no such case, he was
obliged to be discharged, and left to the
" compunctious visitings" of his own conscience,
which, judging from the present obtusity of his
faculties, are likely to be both " few and far be-
tween." We believe the unfortunate suicide was
a man of good education, and some literary at-
tainments.—(Greenock Advertiser.)

THE THEKTRE.,--T4lO Rayfilarket Theatre was
crowded last night to the representation of The
Beggar's Opera, and the announced appearance
of a Lady in the character' of Macheath no doubt
operated strongly niipubliepriosity. The new
Candidate for public layout's, vie understand, a
Miss BLAKE, who has performed with success in
the Bristol Theatre,, but who is almost. a novice
in theatrical life. Her, person is of the middle
size, and her face, though not handsome, is not
unpleasing. 'Her voice is powerful, and she sings
with evident taste, not indulging too much in the
flourishing style of the day. She, however,
sometimes decorates her airs just sufficiently to
shew that she is restrained by judgment, not in-
ability. Almost the whole of her songs were en.
cored,and she was warmly applauded throughout
her performance. Her action was unaffected, and
seemed to be the result of feeling and good
sense. Her delivery of the dialogue was correct
and emphatic. The impression she made upon
the audience was so very favourable that the an-
nounced repetition of the Opera was received
with universal applause. Miss R. CORRI sung
admirably in Polly and acted with great feeling.
TERRY in Peachum, and WILLIAMS in Locket,
particularly distinguished themselves in the
quarrelling scene, and Filch was well sustained by
Mr. J. RUSSELL. Mrs. JONES, a very active and
useful actress, was the Lucy, and in acting and
singing she was justly received with warm ap-
plause. Previous to the Opera the very divert-
ing and interesting Comedy of Match-breaking
was represented, and Mr. BAKER performed the
part of Edgar, assigned to him on account of
DECAMP'S departure on a provincial engagement,
in a very respectable manner.

The new Macheath, who has made so success-
ful a debut at the new Haymarket Theatre, is a
pupil of Mr. NATHAN, who, in co-operation with
Mr. 13RAnAm, gave appropriate force and sweet-
ness to Lord BYRON'S Hebrew Melodies.
Mr. BRAHAM concluded his engagement at the
Birmingham Theatre on Monday last, by, per-
forming Hawthorn, in the Opera of Love in a

MRS. MOUNTAIN.—We are sure that the pub.
lic will join with us in regretting to hear that
this Lady, who has long been a distinguished
ornament of the musical world, met with a me-
lancholy accident on Friday last, from the over-
turning of one of the Hammersmith stages, by
which her right arm was broken, her wrist -dis-
located, and her head suffered some severe con-
tusions. Her arm was immedhttely set by Mr.
BOWLING, of Hammersmith, and we have the
pleasure to learn that she is remarkably well,
considering the injuries which she received.

SINGULAR DEATH.—On Thursday afternoon last about
five o'clock, Henry Jansen, Esq. a Delegate of the Convention,
from the county of Ulster, when apparently in the- most
perfect health, fell down in the Capitol, at Albany (New York),
and instantly expired. lle had the moment before purchased a
ticket for admission to Peale's celebrated picture of the COURT
or• DEATH, now exhibiting in the :Senate Chamber, and
while he was crossing the threshold of the door leading to the
picture, he was instantly summoned from the representation to
the awful reality !—(A.uierican Paper.)

P6ETII.Y:

THE INVITATION.
Oh collie, with thy blue eyes of beaming;
Thou nameless ene, whom I love best ;
When the sun'-beatin of crimson is streaming
Through the lattice that looks to the west:
Oh conic, when the birds, with their singing
Fill every recess of the groye,--,,.
And such thoughts in the bosom are epraiging
As kindle the spirit to love !

dii came, where the elm-tree inclose
The mossy green seat in its shade,—
And the perfume of blossoming roses,
Is borne on the breeze of the glade
The streanilei is sparkling beneath us,
The briarLcovered banks are above,—
Around are young lilies, And with us
Soft thoughts that speak to us of love !

Oh come, for of iciioni are thronging
To darken my life to a waste ;
Oh, come, for my spirit iS longing
The bliss of thy presence to taste !
Though dark disappointments have wrung me;
And though with my fate I have strove,
Whate'er were the arrows that stung me,
I have found a resource in thy love !

Oh come, for thy smiling hai cheated
.-The woes of my breast, and so well
Thp darkness of sorrows defeated,
Thgt nought else on earth could dispel
Withdtit thee my being would wither
And pleasure a bauble would prove,
Forget not, my siveet, to come hither;
And solace my heart by thy rove !

MATC/t AGAINST TIMIE.—A match was run yesterday
morning, for a considerable sum, by a young gentleman, from
the earner of Paternoster-row, Ave Marta-lane, to the Obelisk,
St. George's-fields, in ten minutes. Mr. It— started at a quar-
tet past six, ran down the broadway along ‘Vater-lane, and over
Blackfriars Bridge, where he crossed to the right sip, of the
Surrey-road, and reached the Obelisk at twenty-one minutes
anti a half past six, winning his wager by three minutes and a
half—ten to one on time.

AN ELEGANT COMPLIMENT.—The Rev. Dr.
BALGUY, a preacher of great celebrity, after
having delivered an excellent Sermon in Win-
chester Cathedral, the text of which was, " All
wisdom is sorrow," received the following extem-
pore, but elegant compliment from Dr. WATSON,
then at Winchester College :
If what you advance, dear Doctor, be true,
That Wisdom is SORROW, hOW WRETCIIED are You.
TROPE FOR TROPE.--A clerg4man preaching
in the neighbourhood of Wapping, observing that
most part of his audience were in the sea-faring way,
very naturally embellished his discourse with

several nautical tropes and figures. Amongst
other things, he advised 'them to be ever on the
watch, so that, on whatsoever tack the Evil One
should bear dozon upon them, he might be crippled
in action. " Ave, master," muttered a jolly son
of Neptune ; ‘ but let me tell you, that will de.
pend upon your having the weather-gage of him"
—a just, though whimsical remark.

The remains of Lady CHARLOTTE HILL (sister
of the Marquess of DOWNSHIRE,) who died at
Frankfort-on-the-Maine, was this day removed
from Hanover-square for interment, at the church
of East Hampstead, Berks.

THE CAMBRO BRITON.—The admirers of the
ancient literature of WALES, and of the Celtic
Nations generally, will be pleased to hear that
the above popular Work, devoted especially to
its cultivation, will immediately be resumed,
under the superintendence of the original Editor.
It will appear, as before, monthly, and at the
former price of ls. 6d. each number, but upon an
enlarged scale, calculated to admit of considera-
ble improvements in the plan of the Work.
No. 23, will be published on the Ist of Novem-
ber, by SIMPKIN and MARSHALL, Stationers'
Hall-court, Ludgate-street, to whom all commu-
nications to the Editor, free of postage, are re-
quested to be addressed.

liinq;-street, St. James's, exhibited a curious
scene on 'Monday. Early in the afternoon a Po-
lice-officer went to take a young man who was
charged with robbing his mother. As the young
man was resolute in his resistance, a strong posse
came down, which he also beat. A file of soldiers
at last reinforced the assailants, but in vain. The
Police-officers were much cut and beaten,, and
the offender also ; he finally escaped them all by
his agility in leg bail.
