LORD FITZROY SOMERSET'S LIST.-Ma-
jor-General Lord FITZROY SOMERSET, K.C.8., as Mili-
tary Secretary to General Lord HILL, G.C.B. and
G.C.H., Commanding in Chief, went through his list
yesterday, at his office in the Horse Guards. A few
Generals, and about Awenty other officers, transacted mili-
tary business with his Lordship.

M. DE POLIGNAC has been indisposed, and
a mystery has been made of his illness for some days.

believe that he is oppressed by the weight of affairs which
he has contrived to render so alarming. Every thing
that transpires on the discussions in the Cabinet is enough
to excite pity. It is said that one day M. LE LA DOUR..
DONNAYX, overcome with ennui, and humiliated by so
many nullities, exclaimed in a moment of impatience,
" Gentlemen, gentlemen, give up your affairs of capu-
chins : let us think of more serious matters."—Paris

Saturday evening last Wax. BAKER, jun. Esq.
of Liseahil, near Thurles, was fired at by an assasain,
while the former gentleman was writing at a window. The
ball grazed his head, and lodged in the ceiling of the:room,
This has been the second attack on Mr. BAKER.—

The last New York Papers mention the death
of the Hon. PETER DERBIGNY, Governor of the State of
Louisiana. His death, it appears, was occasioned by a
wound in the head, received from the trunk of a tree, when
leaping from his carriage to avoid the danger about to re-
sult from its being overturned. Governor DERBIGNY, it
is stated, has successively filled the offices of Attorney-
General, Judge of the Supreme Court, and Secretary of the
Commonwealth. In consequence of his death, H. Eau-
vats, Esq., President of the Senate, will temporarily fill
the office of Governor.

lenders are like wiredrawing mills; if they get hold of a
man's finger, they will pull in the whole body at last."
LIEUTENANT-GENERAL THE RIGHT HON.
Sin. G. MURRAY, M.P.—lt is with the sincerest plea-
sure we have to state, that at a meeting of Noblemen and
Gentlemen, held here on Friday last, for the purpose of
considering the propriety of requesting Lieutenant-Gene-
ral the Right Hon. Sir GEORGE MURRAY to sit for his
portrait, with the view of its being placed in the County
Hall, as a testimonial of respect from this county, with
which he is immediately connected, the meeting was most
cordial in its approbation of the resolutions proposed and
passed for the above purpose ; and considering that no
public intimation had been given of the meeting, or its in-
tended object, the amount of the subscriptions already en-
tered is not only hononrable to the county, but must afford
the gallant General the sincerest gratification, from the
evidence it bears of the high estimation which his native
county entertains of his military services. The subscrip-
tions at the Meeting amounted to nearly 5001. The fol-
lowing Committee was appointed to carry the object of the
Meeting into effect :—His Grace the Duke of ATHOLL ;
the Right Honourable the Earl of ICINNoutt ; the Right
Honourable the Earl of MANSFIELD; the Right Hon.
Lord GRAY ; the Right lion. Lord RovivEw ; Sir DA-
VID MONCRIEFFE, Bart: ; Sir JOHN A. STEWART, Bart.;
ALEXANDER HEPBURN MURRAY BELSHES, Esq. ; Major
MURRAY BELSHES ; JOHN GRANT, Esq. ; Captain
DRUMMOND; GEORGE PATERSON, Esq. ; the Right Hon.
Lord GRAY, convener; and any three to be a quorum.—
Perth Courier.
