His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has given
the 78th Regiment, vacant by the death of Sir JAMES
CRAIG; K. B. to Sir SANIUS.L AUCHNIUTY and Sr: SA-
MUEL'S Regiment (the 103 d), to the Hon. Major-Ge.
neral LOWRY COLE, of the 27th foot.

The intelligence of Peace having been concluded
between Russia and Turkey is are length formally
confirmed. In consequence of the intelligence, the
exchange at St. Petersburgh immediately rose to 20%,
a rate at which it has not been since the. Treaty of
Tilsit. A messenger has likewise reached England, I
with dispatches to our Government, to announce this
agreeable occurrence. The peace was accelerated by.
a destructive battle, in which the Turks were com-
pletely overthrown, having been first surrounded by
the Russians.
General SIMON, for whom the reward of £lOO
was offered by Government, was taken at a late hour
last night, at a house in Camden-town, where he was
found concealed in the coal-hole. One of the accu•
sations against him, we understand to be, that of
giving information to BONAPARTE against a French
General, lately in this country, who repeatedly re-
fused to break his parole, although furnished with the
means by the emissaries of the Tyrant in this country.
Our Government thought so highly of the above
Officer's conduct, that they permitted him to return
to France without any solicitation on his part. -On
his landing, he was instantly shot by order of his
ferocious master.
