Monday fe'nnight the brigade of Volunteers, Aber-
deep, were infpeeted by Lieutenant Colonel&rowarr.
The feveral corps muttered very ftrong, and their
appearance, and Rate of their arms, gave every fa-
tisfaetion to that officer. Lieutenant Col. STowerr
afterwards manceuvred the brigade, in prdence of
Major General MACDONALD, who was pleafed to es-
preis the greateft approbation of their difcipline, and
fteadinefs under arms.

Some accounts have been received at our principal,

Hived to write a line or two on a leaf of jehnfon's
Dittienary, merely Rating the fa& of his eziftence.
This communication has been conveyed to one of the
Britifh outpofts, and thence tranfmitted to the head-

dilly.
Yefterday a Court of Direa'.rs was held at the EaR
India Houle, for the purpofe of reading the advice:
received by the fleet lately arrived. The (hip Exeter,
of t zoo tons, was- taken up for China dire 1. The
Court adjourned at fix o'clock till tomorrow.
We are extremely concerned to Rate, on the au.
thority of private letters from India, that a difpute
of an unpleafant nature has happened between the
Government and two of the judges of the Supreme
Court of Judicature at Madras. "The difference mi.
gloated in the etlabli(kment at Fcrt St. George, of a
Police, which had been organized without reference
to the Court ; a circumftance, which was noticed in
a charge from one of the Judges to the Grand Jury,
and the eflablithment itfelf was, we believe, declared
unneceiLry. The language which fell from the
Learned Judge, on this oceafion, is Rated to have
been reported to the local Government, by whom a
letter was written to the other Judges, requetling
that they would take their feats in Court, to pre.
ferve the peace of the place." It teems, that on the
third day of the Seffion, and when the bufinefs was
nearly ended, one of the Judges, thus applied to, ap-
peared on the Bench, the other declined, having ttated
reafons for not interfering with the nfage and prac-
tice of the Court. This matter, and other circum.
fiances, have unfortunately oceafioned a ichicm among
the Judges themfelves, which had not be reconciled
when our letters left Madras : and we are lorry to
wit, that the appointment of 'a Military Officer to
the fituation of Superintendant of the new Police, had
eccafioned further difcuffions of aferious nature, which
widened the breach between the parties in difference.
We refrain from fubmitting at prefent any further
particulars of this unpleafant affair, becaufe we are
atritred that memorials on this I.:hjeet have been ma-
' nutted by the Madras Government' to the Court of
pir,aors, and to the Eoard cf • Conti-tiny—and that
one of the Judges has fubmitted a Ratement of the
difference between hivnfelf and his colleagues, for the
confederation add judgment of hiallejs
It is requifite, however, to Rate, that the charge
to the Grand Jury did not in any refpat ditturb the
peace of the fettlement.
