The Earl of BANSURT was three hours under ex-
amination upon the fiat charge, that of miCreprefent-
Mg the candua of Captain Areas to his Lordihips
After the Noble Earl had gone through his evidence,
the Court adjourned to this day.

The Earl of BasmaLsaNs has been pleated to ap.
point the Rev. Jona PROCTIR, B. A. of Brook-En&
Hoare, Harts, and late of Trinity Hall, Cambridge,
one of his Lordthip's Donteßic Chaplains.

Wednafdpy fe'nnight bis Excellency Earl Motu,
accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant, the vice Lieu-
tenant, General MacKenzie, and Ogbati Oman,
reviewed the regiments of Ayrthira cavalry, riflemen,
and the firft volunteers, on the rant courfe, Ayr.—
The day was very fine, and a great alemblage of
company attended ; as alfo a number of officers,
among whom we noticed General MACDONALD, who
fo honourably diftinguithed hitnfelf laR war, la the
Weft Indies, as alfo, in commanding the glorious
fortie from Nimeguen. The troops went through
their exercife and mancenvres in a Rile highly cre-
ditable.

Saturday evening his Excellency the Bari of ?donut
arrived in Edinburgh, from a vifit to Loudon Cattle.
The remainder of the Northumberland Militia
left Offpringe Barracks on Tuefday IA for Afhford,
where they are to remain a few days, then to go to
Ramfgate for winter quarters.
Wednefday the Loyal North Britons being affetn-
bled in Gray's Inn Gardens, for the purpofe of being
infpeded by Colonel Pm RIN son, fired a fen de joyg
under the command of his Royal Highnefs the Duke
of Sussex, on account of the glorious viEtory obtain-
ed by the gallant Nsi.sow. After the three willies
had been fired in the air, his Royal Highnefs ad-
vanced in front of the line, and taking off his bconet,
gave three times three cheers, in which he was joined,
not only by the Gentlemen then under arms, but by
all the furrounding crowd, who all feemed to partici-
pate in the joy expreffed by his Royal Highnefs in
the receipt of fuch pleating intelligence.
Two hundred additional tranfports are raid to be
engaged by Government, to complete the armament,
the Bra divifion of which failed from the Downs on
Tuefday lall. A few of them have already arrived,
and more are expeaed every tide. The Pegafus and
Romulus frigates, which lately came round from
Harwich, are likewife intended for the conveyance
of troops. A further embarkation, therefore. will,
in all probability, take place in the courfe of a few
days. The eth, wit, and gad regiments, from Col-
cbeller and Weely, together with General Moore's
brigade, the 43d and sad, from Hythe, and a prong
detachment of the Rifle Corps, now in Widmer Bar-
racks, will compote the fecond divifion. The num•
ber of troops at prefent on their paffage is computed
at t3,cco. The whole force to be embarked will
amount, it is underftood, to 30,000.
The determination of Bomar IRTIt to fend the Auf-
trian pt ;loners to be employed in agricultural labour,
is an aft that prepares the way for a complete fall of
civilization into a gate pf barbarifm more deporable
than favage life. This aft is exaely confiftent with
his treatment of the Auffrian prifoners Come years
ago, wheri bride/ them to the Spanifb Government, to
wear out a miferable life in working in the mines.—
When we confider this conduit, and compare it with
tie murder of Captain WRIGHT in the Temple, we may
plainly fee that Bon spears means to affimilate his
Government with the Ealiern defpots and the pira-
tical States. To this country he bears a peculiar
antipathy ; and if it were pollible for him to obtain
a footing among us, the (offerings of all other Oates
under his gripe would be felicity, compared with what
he would compel us to endure.

DUBLIN, NOTEMBER S.

The Setae of the Third William was lad week
painted in the *foal manner, preparatory to the ce-
lebration of his birth and landing by the regulars,
militia, and yeomanry. During the night of Satur-
day, however, the front of the figure was completely
daubed with the contents of a tar pot. The perfons
concerned in this wanton performance have not yet
been apprehended—but it is furprifing that on a
moon-light night they could have efcaped dete&ion.
We heard it faid, indeed, that Tome men in the a&
of afeending the pedefial. were challenged by a
watchman, and that they laid they were ordered by
a painter to put thefirryhicy coat on the fiatue againfl
the next day. How far this Rory is cone& we do
not pretend to fay.
Yefierday, detachments from the military, and the
following corps of yeomanry, ambled round the
Itatue of King William :
Royal Ramose South Circular Dead,
aft Royal Dubba Loyal Dublin (Deredurtra)
ad Dltto. Dundrum,
jd Ditto. Caftle Artillery.
Alta aA= of the River &wades.
The regulars fir(, during which time the
yeomanry were placed in minim& lines on each fade
of the Rivets leading from the Coale to St. Stephen's
Green, in order to falute the grand cavalcade of the
Court and City Magifirates, the Lord Chancellor,
the Commander of the Dublin dißridt, ke, Sec. When
the procelfioa returned, his Excellency Earl HARD.
winos, deorted by a fquadron of the tyth light dra-
goons, proceeded to Phoenix Lodge, where feveral of
the nobility were entertained at dinner.
The troops of yeomen cavalry were entirely ab-
fent on this occafion, as were the following regiments
of infantry :
The Linen Hall Liberty Rargers
Dkto Artillery Anoraks
Merchants Latouches, and
Lawyers College.
The Liberty Rangers, we underfiand, received
directions from their fenior Officer not to 'appear in
uniform on yefierday.
In the interval of the State Proceffion appearing
in College Green. Tome arch wags, by way of amufe-
ment for the crowd, contrived .to drive a cow into
the midft of them, which by goading and driving had
been •forced into a Rate of madnefs, and. furioafly
overturned feveral women and children, Tome of
whom Mitred very kvere injuries.

The remaining part of the light brigade of the line,
confilling of the light companies of the 3d. 25th,
26th, 3oth, 45th, 47th. soth, 79th, and Bad regi-
meats, which were quartered at Bandon, marched
into Cork on Thurfday in two battalions, one com-
manded by Lieutenant Colonel BARNS, the other by
Major FAIVNLIISOI, and are to be forthwith at-
tached to their refpeitive regiments, at quarters.
Thnrfday morning, the 3oth regiment anived in
Cork from Limerick.
One of the watchmen belonging to St. Andrew's
Parilh was fired at by a ony 10// grotionan, lan night;
who, not contented with lodging his aszassainea in the
face of the noEturaal guardian, wounded him feverely
in the head by repeated blows of a huge pifiol.
A tratchman belonging to St. Thomas'. Peri& was
that at near Tucker s•row, yefierday evening. We
were this morning informed be died in confequence.
Wednefday evening a confide:able degree of alarm
was 41zeited among she inhabitints of Lapp's Maid,
Cork, in coufequence of Tome hundred barrels of
ammeiltios being depofited on the quay, preparatory
to their conveying by lighters to the tranfports in the
harbour. All apprehenfions of danger were, how-
ever, removed by the vigilance of the Mayor and
Sheriffs, who Sktioned a fufficient number of feud-
nels to pretest the pollibility of accident 'from the
pilfer of horfes, or from negligence of any kind in
their neighbourhood.
Friday morning feveml ammunition waggons and
cars paled through Cork, efcorted by a part] of
dragoons.

The Duchefs cf ST. ALEAV'S drove her curricle
from Ramfgate to London, laR Monday ; and, en
this tide of Canterbury it was upfet ; but we are happy
to Rate, her Grace was not injured. Her waiting
maid, who accompanied her, was thrown out, and
the wheel of the carriage pafed over her legs, but
the did not receive any material injury.

As the Dnke of St. ALaaa's was hunting, in Cant-
bridAefhire, loft Tuefday, he fell from his horfe, but
happily was not hurt.
On Monday lag, a Special Jury met at the Crown •
Inn, Rochefter, to fettle the demands of the various
claimants, whofe lands, &c. had been appropriated•
by the Ordnance department, for the ufe of Govern-
ment, in the eredion of the Fortifications and Bar--
racks, at Chatham and its vicinity. The moR coati-
derable demand on the Board of Ordnance, was made
by the Dean and Chapter of Roche(ler, who were
awarded the fun of I 1,0001. a confederation for near
ninety acres of ground, much of which contained
valuable !Nick earth—moß of the other claims were
arranged privately.
In preparing for the foundation of the new chinch,
at Lewes, it became neceirary to "lillurb the mould-
ering bones of the long defund ; and, in the profe-
eutinn of that unavoidable bufinefs, a leaden coffin
was taken up, which, on being opened, exhibited the
complete ikeleton of a body that had been interred
about 6o years, whore leg and thigh bones, to the
utter aftonilhment of all prefent, were covered with
myriads of flies (of a fpeeies perhaps totally unknown
to the naturalißs) as waive and thong on the wing,
as gnats, gadding in the air, on the ineti evening in
fummer. The wings of this noa-defcript are white,
and, for dißindion fake, the fpedators gave it the
name of the Coffin Fly. The lead was pc:fatly
found, and preened not the lull chink or creme for
the adiniffion of air. The isoillure of the fiefh had
not yet left the bones, and the fallen beard lay con-
fpicuous on the under jaw.
Mr. Frrz, of Pall Mall, attended at Blw-greet
Office yederilay, in eonfequence of an information
laid againft ltim by a Kr. Bell, for keeping a gaming-
houfe, but the informer not appearing, the defendant .
was ditcharged. Mrs. NaLson, of Pall Mall, was
acquitted under the fame &cisme:aces. Mr. Hog-
LOWAT, who was in Court, made a long fpecch, in
which he expofed the infamy of the pradices of a neR
of informers, who alternately appeared habited as
watcAmen and as gentlemen in cat tying on their
proceedings.
