THE ARMY.

Yesterday morning, at the early hour of between
three and f::ur o'clock. Colonel BLOONIFJELD left Carl-
ton House for Harwich to proceed to Hanover. He
was accompanied by a King's messenger, who took
with him voluminous dispatches from Viscount
C A STLEMEAGII.

Five companies of the Royal Artillery (500 men)
under the command of Sir GEORGIC Woon, have re-
ceived orders to embark for Holland. Three of the
companies are from the Norfolk district, and one,
Major Hawrrat's, from she Canterbury depot.
Monday last a detachment of seventy men, of Lord
WErmorores late Regiment, the 3.1 d, or Haven
Cake Lads, with the following officers : Lieutenants
MACQUAREIE, HAIGH, and Ensign WATSON, marched
from the depot, Hull, for Has wich, to join the Re-
nt in Holland. gime

The Light Horse Volunteers, commanded by Co.
lonel HERRIESI although they cannot be regularly
called out, except in case of invasion or insurrection,
have offered to Government, under' the present cir-
cumstances of the absence of regular troops, to take
any &Sty that may be required of them.
The King's own Stafford Militia,' 1300 strong,
have replaced the Foot Guards in London, and are
placed in Portman-street and Knightsbridge barracks.
The Earl of DARTMOUTH and the whole Regiment,
have volunteered their services to any part of Europe.

The Nottipgham Militia, quartered in the Tower,
have also volunteered in great number►, to extend
their services in the same manna.

The Ist Fifeshire Regiment of Local Militia has
offered to Government to come forward and take their
share of the duty in the garrisons or depots of the
neighbouring counties, upon the volunteering of the
regular militia.
A large detachment of men and horses belonging
to the Royal Artillery Drivers Corps, embarked on
Wednesday and Thursday last at Cork, fur St.
Andero. _ _

Monday a detachment of Officers, Non-commis-
sioned Officers, and sixty rank and tile, from the 2d
battalion 58th Regiment, at Hastings Barracks, corn.
tnenced their march for Portsmouth, on their route
for the Eastern Coast of Spain, to join the Ist batta-
lion of that distinguished corps.

It is expected, that the Duke of CAMBRIDOE will
not leave England till after the grand entertainment
to be given by the PRINCE REGENT to the Foreigners
of distinction to-morrow.

The Prince of ORANGE was never till now a Stadt-
holder in possession. His Serene Highness com-
manded the Dutch Army in two campaigns against
the French, in one of which he was wounded ; but it
was his father who was reigning Stadtholder, when
the French obtained poisession of the United Pro-
vinces, by passing over the ice in the -severe. winter
of 1791.
The report of the luggage of the Prince of Orange
having been stolen from the chaise, on his way from
London to Deal, proves to be erroneous. It turns out
to be a carriage of his suite, in which were Messrs.
HaRVEY and loses Eton, that was robbed of a trunk
in the front of the carriage, between London and
Dartford. The trunk and its contents were the pro-
perty of the Baron PERPONCHIR, and consisted of dou,
bloons, guineas, wearing apparel, etc. of considerable
value. It is strongly suspected to have been stolen
before ivies the environs of London.

INSTALLATION OF THE DUKE OF KENT.
His Royal Highness the Duke of -Kent Iva; yet,•
terday installed Grand Mater of Masons of Eng-
land, according to the old Institution. The cere-
mony took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern.
The company amounted to upwards of 1500 permits,
including the Dukes of liEur and Sussex. A 'prin-
cipal object on this occasion was the uniting of the
modem and antient lodges, which have been in many
points separate institutions for many years. An Oda
written for the occasion, set to music by Mr. M.
KELLY, was well recited by Mr. Poet. The singing
parts, appropriate to the day, were executed with tune
eilict by Messrs. KELLY, PHILLIPS, PYRE, BELLA'tY,
C. TAYLOR and Co. ; assisted by Mr. HORN' and the
Duke of Yot k's band. The business of the day hav-
ing been concluded, a select party of *both seventy
sat down to dinner. The Duke of Mtn. in the Chair.

Yesterday a numerous Meeting of the Inhabitants
of the Borough of Sduthwark vrasheld in the Borough
Town Hall, when it was unanimously agreed to pre•
sent an Address of Congratulation to His Royal
Highness the Panics REGENT, on the late glorious
successes, and the favourable change which had taken
place in the affairs of the Continent.
Wednesday se'nnight several French and Dutch
officers, prisoners of war, passed through Glnuces:er,
on their route to Montgomeryshire. On the day pre.
ceding, at Newport, one of the latter, who understood
the English language, accidentally took up a paper,
containing the account of the Emancipation of
Holland, intelligence which he lust no time in
communicating to his countrymen, and which raised
in their breasts feelings of the most heartfelt sa-
tisfaction. The consequence •was a violent quarrel
between them and their French companions, in.which
they proceeded to blows, but the dispute fortunately
ended without any serious injury being committed.
While at the Rath, in Gloster, the Dutchmen cut
off the eagles, the intighia f France, from the
different parts of . their uniform, in testimony
of their hatred of the yoke which 'had in) long op.
pressed them; and whilst in that place, ii well as
during the remainder of their route, they kept them.
selves entirely aloof from their late Allies-. •
BONAPARTN took exactly twelve year: to rise to a
height, from which twelve mobs have been sufficient
to precipitate him. In 1799 he was installed First
Consul ; iq 1802 appointed Consul fcr life; in 1801.,
Emperor of France • and in 1812, with almost all
Europe at his feet, he began that declension at Mos.
cow, which, in 1818, was completed at Leipsic.

At this critical moment, kiss as 'the:clamour of his

that he was come upon -a- very impdrtallt
Immediately the cry of Heat laws! wiS raislid, and.
kept up with such eagerness, that itswaS impobsible
he could be heard! At lengtlr he spoke, as well as
could be collected to to.a following effect I .
LADISS AND GENTLEMEN-1 am not acquainted with M.
Coates don't know 'shy thing about Mr. Coates—but lam
going to tellyou sotnething that concerns us alls—[Loutl applause]
This philanthropic Mr. Coates—[Applause]—if I am rightly in-
&rifted, gets money for his performance. I have been told, I
don't assert it as a fact, but I have been told that some time back
'he was requested to repeat a Monody for the benefit of a poor
Woman, the wife of a subaltern officer, now serving on the Con*
.tinent. He did repeat it, but not until a check for £2O was given
to the Lady wi, h whom he boards and lodges and if I have been
rightly informed, the play this night is for the benefit of the saute.
Lady TO whom the sete was given."
`After this speech, the Amateur made many appeals
to the Ladies, and requested that tilt. person who pre-
vented their peaceably attending to the Play, might
bete/las:lout, but made no reply to the charge; and
strenuous efforts were made, but in vain, to proceed
with the Comedy : the tumult still increasing, and
cries of 14 diariver to the Charge" from every part of
the audience, Mr. COATES at length appeared, and
"'I can now, I believe, perfectly ratiey that Gentleman." •
•He then read a paper, in substance as follows : .
44'1 RODiDT COATES, do upon my honour declare, that
Wafer did, directly or indirectly, receive money for acting, and
tlat all the Tiatts I have In the House this night have been
`paid for."
The paper was then handed about with his
tnie. The Gentleman then observed, hehad a direct
contradiction of this, and produced and read the bill
for en, which had been paid for his services, de-
claring, that he hoped Mr; Cosies was quite correct;
but that any person 'then present might satisfy them-
selves, on that subject, by calling on the Lady, who
lived in Bolingbroke-raw, Walwurrh.
The Play, if it might be sn called, then proceeded,
and was concluded amidst a most upioariuus scene
. of riot and confusion.

OLD BAILEY.
Yesterday _these Sessions commenced before the
Right Hon. the Loan MAYOR, Mr. Justice LE BLANC,
Baron GRAHAM, the Itncoamta, kc. when thirteen
prisoners were tried. • •
Henry Thornton, aged 22, was charges with having
stolen, in the house of Thomas Rickaby, Bank of
England notes of the value of £l5, the property of
Isaac Leach, who lodged in the same house.
Isaac Leach, the prosecutor, stated, that the pri-
soner had applied to him about the beginning of No-
vember, as he was standing at his shop-door (lie
"keeping a chandler's shop in Mat y-la-bonne) for
formation where he could proctue a lodging. Find-
ing he came from Doncaster, and was acquainted
with some persons•known to hituSelt; be had accom-
modated him with a lodging till he could be other-
wise provided. About a fortnight afterwards the pri- I
suner told him he ineantto go to theconntry,RS nothing
was to be done in London. The prosecti.tor said, he
should previously take some refreshment, and gave
him sixpence to get a pot of porter. Observing his
hand to shake when he took the money, and that he
seemed to be in great agitation, he thought all was
not right; and upon examining a c..tidy, where he
*as in the habit of keeping money, he found it had
been opened, and IEIS taken away. The prisoner de-
nying the theft, he had given him in charge to a con-
stable, to whore, after leaving the house of the pro-
secutor, he said lie would strew.where he had depo-
sited the money. He accordingly took him to 1-lyde
Psurk, and about 200 yards from Cumberland-gate,
he turned aside to the wall, and picked up, or seemed
to-pick up, something from beneath a turf, which,
upon being examined, was found to be the Bank-notes
of which-the prosecutor had been robbed: The con-
stable (Newet) swore to the fact of the money being
sa found, and the prosecutor identified the notes, being
two a .€5, two of E 2, and one of /EL.—The Jury
',found the prisoner
J. Dorsett was also capitally convicted for stealing

defiance before rresioWe arrived. Rhodes was a des-
perate sort of character, but .he never thonet him
insane. He was, to use the words-of witness, rather
&iiingi.lm character. He had demanded money of
Mr. Haigh, when-none was due. Hi wrote him *-
mat threatening letters, and.ior one instance desired
him to make his w• 11. He never thought his violent
conduct proceeded from any affection of the mind,
but ratter from a sullen bad temper. He never'
heard of any certificate of mental dcr,ingentent from
a Surgeon, but a Doctor had said, lie must be mad
to write such letters.
About thirteen months ago he made a demand a
40 or £50,000 of Mr. Haigh, by which lie said
he could give peace to all the world, and-he had
bills prilited to that effect, with a quotation from
Isai.s.ll, and his name signed tbeiretcr. These Mutat-
tog letters followed this demand..
Mr. Samuel Haigh, clerk in. the house, never
thought Rhodes insane, lie called on hinear eight
o'clock on Tuesday morning ; said hewas going to
Yorkshire; talked of his !sage, &c. in St. Luke's in
The most rational manner.

It seas the opinion of the Apntbecary of St. Luk,'s,
and the two Keepers, that Rhodes Was insane. T!le
:former stated Mm to he a man of despondency in
neral, although hetalked much at intervals about the
good he ct idd do in bringing about a peace. At
other times he was a gloomy and sile:.t son of man.
The in: y retired tur nearly three quarters of an
hour, and retbrned their verdict as follows That
the deceased had come by his death in consequence
of a wound from a pistol tired by Thomas Rhodes,
but that the said Thomas Rhodes was at the time hot
I of sound mind."

Yesterday an inquisition was taken at the Axe, in
A Idermanbury, on the body of S. Prestt).ve, beadle e(
that parish, who was shot by 'T. Rhodes, at the hUuse
of Mess. Haigh and Co. on Tuesday.
G. Metcalf, porter in the house of Haigh and Co.
stated, that Rhodes, who had been a clerk ih the house,
rushed into tile warehouse, soon alter seven o'clock on
Tuesday morning, and said he wanted money and
clothes. Witness was alarmed, knowing him to have
been guilty of strange tricks, lest he should get his
brains knocked out. FL: inquired for Bottomley, the
warehouseman, and sJon after left the premises. At
twelve o'clock he returned, and witness fetched Pres-
towe, by direction of Mr. Haigh. He was sitting at
Mr. Haigh's desk, in the counting.house, when the
' beadle arrived, having a pistol in his right hand,
which he held out in a menacing way, and in answer
to a question from the ollii.er, " What ! have you got
1 a pistol !" said " Yes-; and I have another." Preis-
ILowe desired witness to step back a pace or two; and
observed that he would zet round him presently.—
Prestowe also setire at a. yard or two, and then struck
him a.ematt blow on tke legs as he ascended the steps
tp*cure him.; when ihe prisoner discharged a pistol,
and killed him on the spot. One of the keepers of St.
ILake's and witness rushed upon Rhodes, and secured
him with a pistol in his hand. Witness never knew
of the prisoner being deranged. He was confined fit st
a twelvemonth age, or more, in the Poultry Compeer,
)r sending. threatening letters toMr. Haigh. He was
.six or seven years collecting clerk in the house, and
. was nephew to Mr.. Haigh,
1
J. Charles, clerk and warehouseman in the house
, of-Haigh and Co. having heard that Rhodes had got
1 out of Ss. Luke's Hospital, %mit to fetch two keepers
1
