We extract thniallowing.intelligence from theP6
vate Cot resp.ondence of t Morning, Paper : it is all e
the chapter of probable events r but is not confirm
by any accounts that we have ourselves received;
gi Paris has been inundated with reports, and oe
of the moot extraordinary nature, for the last day's
two. At this very moment, it is said that, the Tuille
ries is filled with agitation and inquietude, the in
mediate cause of which is the.intelligence arrived la
night by an estafette from the Duc d'ANGove.rion:
the nature of it is as follows:—General CURIAL.
issued an order to the various bodies of troops
quit their cantonments, and assemble in the plain
Cauet, for the purpose of being reviewed preparatoey
to the arrival of the Duke d'Axceouegors., This order
was executed on the 22d instant; but no kooneihai!
the French troops quitted their positions, than 1111.11/1
at the head of. a detachment, dashed in upon the
Army of the Faith, ,under the command of Mow
ANTON, who has escaped near the little. town of Ceret
This vet y division of the Army of the Faith had Ina
but the day before armed and clothed by the Prood
Authorities. On the approach of MINA 500ofthea
faithful soldiers put their shakos on the points of their
bayonets, cried Viva Maul and passed over to bin.
so The others defended themselves for somettlaw,

until a great number were killed or taken pritenen;
those who escaped fled precipitately to Ceret„ whet
they were received by the National Guard with o.tfig
charge of musketry. MINA after this immediately
retired into the Spanish territory, concentrated bis
forces, and made preparations for a fresh attack., A
body of French troops were immediately sentagaing
him, but they obstinately refused to fight, aid astiP
considerable desertion followed. It is further a/ded,

that the Duke, in his dispatch, declares to the Cabin
of the Tuilleries that the army will not fight, sail dig
he sees no use in his remaining any longer theme-

• The Morning Chronicle has this morning the fol-
lowing paragraph :
" About two months ago, ten or twelve battalions of British
Infantry were ordered for foreign service, to relieve the same
number of Regiments doing dutrin foreign garrisons, some of
which are nearly reduced to skeletons. The present state of Europe
is, however, so unsatisfactory, that the embarkation of these regi-
pents,bas been countermanded, and those already in the colonies
rust, therefore, continue there for another season, however badly
qualified some of them are for the duty."
..—We have made inquiry into the accuracy of this
ifitement, and find that there is not one word of
troth in it.
Monday, about one o'clock, his Royal !Ugliness the

the KING, at Brighton.

An address to the freemen Of Durham has been cir-

tom, each received a glass of wine, a bun, and a shil-
ling, or a sixpence according to their respective merits,
from the LORD MAYOR. His Lordship, attended by
several of the Aldermen and all the City Officers in
their respective costumes, after partaking of a sump-
tuous cold collation, proceeded in the usual state to
Christ Church, Newgate-street, where they heard
Divine Set-Vice, and an excellent
.Sermon preached
by the Rev. Doctor I.ltosiviELD, Rector of St. Bo-
tolph, Dishopsgate.
HUMPHREY it A VEL IN, ESQ.—That style of writing
'which blends important facts with interesting fictions,
and thereby produces either a volume of moral re-
flections or amusing anecdotes, has of late been at-
tempted by many Authors ; but we have seen no
specimen of this kiiid in which such a fund of rich
humour and manly sentiment is combined, as in a
recently published Work, entitled " The Lucubrations
of Humphrey Ravelin,
.Esq. late Major in the • •
Regiment of Infantry," a production which, as it dis-
plays in every page a correct knowledge of the world,
and a faithful adherence to nature, we recommend
to the especial notice of such of our Readers as have
riot already seen it. •
PiTCAIRN'S tscaaip.--Extract from the Report of
the Ship Hercules, ctf Calcutta, Captain John Hen-
derson, from the coast of Chili, March 26, 1822.-
4‘ Hercules:arrived at Pitcairn's bland'on the sth
of May., and landed the presents which were sent to
ttie Inhabitants frnfn the gentlemen of Calcutta.
John Adams was still alive, and the rest of the inha-,

bitants, fifty-three in number."
• The fog which prevailed during the last week was
so dense as to occasion a partial suspension of the na-
vigation on the coast, and to render imperceptible
from the shore, the ships at anchor in the Downs and
other.readsteds.
'NS KING'S THEATRE.-.-1110ZART'S Opera of Le
Yozx di Figaro was performed last night with great
success; as were also the Divertisement, and the Bal-
let. Among the company present were the Duke
and Duchess of GLOUCESTER.
DnURY-LANE.—The Play of The Way to get Mar-
ried, was acted last night with great applause.—
Dosorcie resumed his part of Tay Allspice, which he
performed with his accustomed humour, and obtained
the usual reward—shouts of uncontroulable laughter.
The ether characters were ably sustained, and the
Play went off in good style. The Chinese Sorcerer
vas then repeated, having been somewhat curtailed.
Its scenery, music, and dancing again called forth
undiminished admiration, and the decision of the au-
dience and spectators of the former night was fully
confirmed on this.
Covessr-GARDEN.—After the Marriage of Figaro,
the view Melo-Drama of the Vision of the Sun was
repeated with, if possible, encreased success. It is
certainly a most splendid entertainment, and is ad-
mirably performed throughout. Mrs. YIN! Nes fine
and affecting acting is particularly entitled to com-
mendation.
Between eight and nine o'clock, on Monday night,
!young man went into the shop of Mr. CLARKE,

silk handkerchiefs, and ran off ; the alas m was given,
rd twiny per sons joined in the pursuit : he ran down
and crossed through French Horw-yard
into Holborn, where he was secured by Cook, the
rle'die, of fled Lion-square ; the property was found
upon him.

and the officers-here expect to be soon honoured by
his presence on a similar occasion. The corps at this
place consists, at present, of above 700 fine fellows,
admirably disciplined and accoutred, and it is shortly
to be increased to 1000, for which purpose recruiting
parties are now out in several places.
About one o'clock this morning a fire broke out in
