A leading Officer in the new Police is said to
have been dismissed from his office for having furnished
to the daily Papers, without authority, the private regu-
lations of the establishment. This may be very proper as
a punishment for disobedience of orders; but why should
any police regulations be private ? Coto t Journal.

On Monday afternoon, about a quarter past
five o'clock, a partridge was observed to be floating in the
sea opposite the north pier at Dover, and as the waves
brought it nearer it proved to be alive, with its head ele-
vated, and looking round as though to discover if any one
would release it from its perilous and unusual situation.—
One gentleman on the pier endeavoured to save the bird
by throwing a fishing-line attached to a piece of cross-
wood, which did not succeed : but so great was the inte-
rest excited by the singular circumstance of a partridge
swimming opposite the harbour of Dover alive, that at
length three men went out to rescue it, and though there
was a great swell of the sea at the time they succeeded in
getting the bird, which they killed, as it appeared ex-
hausted with fatigue. Many persons on the pier, espe-
cially some ladies, were most desirous to have given the
boatmen an ample remuneration for their humanity, and
thus restore the bird to the enjoyment of his liberty in the
fields near Dover, though it will still remain a mystery
whether they or the opposite soil of France gave him ex-
is•ence. The names of the boatmen who went after the
bird were RANDALL and two brothers named ADAMS; and
little as this anecdote may be valued by some, yet it did
honour to their feelings, and is worthy of being known--
The partridge was purchased by Mr. Donn, of iluckland,
near Dover, and he very kindly gave it a gentleman, in
order that it might be sent to the Museum at Canterbury,
to be there preserved as a memorial of so singular an oc-
currence. The anxiety evinced to rescue this partridge
brings an association of ideas to our mind which is most
pleasing, when it is remembered that when our fleet and
army were in Egypt, the distress which they experienced
from the want of water was entirely removed by the acci-
dental circumstance of a partridge getting up in the desert.
One of the party belonging to the Macedonian, Captain
CARDON, who was in search of water, observed it issuing
from the spot whence the bird rose; they dug down, and
discovered those delightful springs which supplied the whole
fleet with water, and thus materially contributed to the
health And existence of our men in that region of intense
heat.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France of Saturday.)

PARIS, Oer.9.—The Duke de Laval Montmorency,
Ambassador from France to London, took leave of
the King the day before yesterday. at Compiegne.
He is to set out to-day (Friday) to repair to his post.
The King has appointed the Count de la Ferronays
to be his Ambassador to the Holy See.
By a decree of the Congress of Argos, three de-
puties have been appointed to go and return thanks
to the Allied Powers in the name of Greece. These
persons are—Count Viaria Capo d'lstria for Lon-
don; Mr. John Coletti for Paris; and M. Mavrocor-
dato for St. Petersburgh.

AUGSBURG, 0&. 4.—A letter from Berlin adds
the following details to the clauses of the treaty cf
peace between Russia and the Porte :
" An explanatory document is added to the treaty.
A separate act has also been drawn up for the Prin-
cipalities. In case the Porte should not be able to
pay in ready money, Russia will receive effects in
payment, after a previous estimation. It is exprest•ly
stipulated in the treaty that the Pruth shall folm the
frontier between the two empires; consequently there
is no notion of any cession of territory in Europe.
The cessions in Asia give to that power an addition
of half a million of subjects. A better fate is reserved
to the Principalities, since the Hospodars will be ap-
pointed for life, and Russia will take part in the no-
mination, which will put an end to the scandalous
sale by auction of those important posts. The tribute
which the Principalities will pay to the Porte will be
moderate, and paid in money, so that the inhabitants
of the country will be no longer exposed to those
arbitrary requisitions which were exacted in the name
of the Porte. These countries will also have a con-
stitution of their own."

(From the Messager des Chambres of Friday.)

TOULON, OCT. 3.—The Fauvelie schooner cast

peace between-the Porte and Russia on the very day
that it sailed.
