YARMOUTH, JUNE 11.

Arrived yesterday evening the TICKLER cutter,
from off the Scheldt; and, this morning, the Poamt
and VIXEN, from the Baltic ; and the Eliza tender,
from the Nore, en her way to Shields.

The embarkation of the 3d Light Dragoons of the
King's German Legion, commenced at Ramsgate
on Wednesday last, and by three in the afternoon of
Thursday, that fine regiment, upwards of 800 strong,
were all on board, and the transports were to sail
from the harbour for the Downs with the evening's
tide. We are happy to learn that no accident hap.
pened either to the men or bones. This regiment has
not been on service since the year 1809, when it re.
turned from Corunna, where it was obliged to destroy
all its horses to prevent their falling into the hands
of the French; from that period to the present they
have been selecting fresh horses, and are, perhaps, at
this moment the most efficient cavalry in the British
service.
A Dublin paper states that one of the Clerks in the
Post Office of that city has been lately coenutioest to
Newgate for purloining newspapers.

INDIA..

The Lahore Miters acre filled with, reports of the
preparations which were going forward for the inva-
sion of Cashmere. This expedition is said to have
been projected by Runjeet Sing, in concert with the
reigning Sultan of Cabul, whose Vizier, Futteh Khan,
bad advanced towards the Attock, for the purpose of
co-operating.
Runjeet had set out from Lahore, and had arrived
at Vizierabad, en his route to join his army. His
park of artillery accompanied him, and had already
passed the Chunah. •Meanwhile the main Seik army
which was stationary at Ragooree suffered severely
from sickness.
The principal Chieftains of the Hills, who had
been summoned by Runjeet to attend him on his en-
terprize, were understood to have deClined compli-
ance, with exception of Sungarchund.
The Cashmere troops arc reported to have eva-
cuated Peshour, on the approach of Futteh Khan,'
from the westward, they fell back to Attock; from
which place the sons of Attah Mahommed Khan had.
removed their prisoner, the unfortunate Soojah=ul-
- 'and lodged him in the fortreis Nuwahedid.
It appeared to be uncertain whether the siege of At-
tock, or the invasion of Cashmere, would be the first
operation cf the campaign. ,•
Futteh Khan, after a stay of only a few days at
Pesheur, had continued his march towards the Attock.
Mahmood Shah, the Sultan 'of Cabul, was himself
daily expected at Pesheur, where he would probably
fix his residence, until the event of the war should be
decided.
DISTURBANCES IN THE MAURITIUS.
PROCLAMATI9N.

" Saint Denni', Bourbon, Ottober 14, 1812."
U Whereas some nicked and evil-designing per-
form of those few still remaining at the Mauritius,
whose principles wage eternal war with all political
subordination, have framed an insolent Address to
his Excellency on the subject of the late affray at
Grand Port, and obtained the signatures of some of
the inhabitants of that district ; his Excellency the
Governer, willing to believe that most of those whose
oames are subscribed, were misled into this illegal
and seditious act by the atrocious misrepresentations
of a few ; deems it proper thus publicly 'to declare
that thelaw against collective petitions shall be most'
strictly enforced on any repetition of the offence, and
that whosoever shall, for the future, be guilty of in-
, fringing it, shall immediately be sent off the island
under this Government. His Excellency acts rather
in clemency than in justice by remitting, in the pre
sent instance, the punishment of those who have sign.
ed the Address alluded to.
66 His Excellency takes this occasion of warning
thi peaceable and well-disposed inhabitants of Grand
Port against the unfounded discontents that have bte.l
sown with such industrious malignancy against his
Majesty's Bourbon regiment. They will stand with-
out apology for the calamities that may result from
the pestilential endeavours of a few alarmists, de-
serving only of detestation and abhorrence, who dis-
seminate fake terrors and false feelingA, and conjure
up fictitious grounds of complaint in the bosoms of
those who confess themselves happy and content.
" The high Police is charged to keep a watchful
eye over the conduct of those who have signed the
Address. - His Excellency directs that the Civil Con:.
inissary at Grand Port shall be cashiered for neglect
of duty, in suffering the abeve-mentioned bleach of
the law to take place in his district.

Tun Muftina OF MRS. STETMENS.--Mr. DEAD
and Mr. STAFFORD have been.indefatigable in their
exertions during the week in endeavouring to trace
the murderer of Mrs. Stephens, of Woodford. In
the public reports of this horrid transaction a great
deal has been raid respecting a journeyman taylor
being susp.-cted as &Tie perpetrator, arisin7 from what
a Mrs. North, a neighbour t f the deceased, said, viz.
that on Saturday night she was in company with
the deceased, when she pointed to a man who was
standing near her, who she said was a customer, and I
that she was afraid would do her a mischief." Mrs.

W. having stated him to be a journeyman tailor, no
less than three of that profession have been taken up,
and two of them have been examined before. Mr..
READ, but nothing criminal attached to them, and
they proving that they were not at Woodford at the
time of the murler, were discharged. The (ue who
was confined till Wednesday evenina, in New Prison,
Clerkenwell, occasionally wtrked at Woodford, and
was in the habit of purchasing things . t. Mrs. Ste-
phens's shop. He was in company w ith a person in
London, when the murder became the subject cf
conversation, and that person reported that it was
Sunday, by mistake, he had met the tailor, instead
of Monday. The murder not having been discovered
till Monday, and it being said the tailor had de-
acribed it on Sunday, no doubt was entertained that
he was the murderer, or be could not have known
the particukrs a day before any body else. On there
circumstances he was taken into custody, and corn-

rained by Sir D. WILLIAMS. Mr. Read afterwards
attendee him in prison, and took his narrative, wherein
' be fully explained his business at IVo.-elford, and
gave a very particular account as to where he was on
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and on the rights
of those days; which was confirmed by the persons
at whose house he slept, and several others whose
company he had been in. The man also cknow.
!edged his error, in st:it.in it to he Sunday imzead of
Monday he was in company with the pi isena. Mrs.
ll:Stephens was seen in her shop on Saturday ni6,ht,
about ten o'clock ; about eleven, a female, who oc-
cnies the adjoining house, and who is confined to licr
b:d by the rheumatic gout, heard Mrs. Stephens's
' .'door bang too with very gleat violence, and immedi-
ately some footsteps run away very last, and there is
'no doubt hut that was the murderer. Mrs. S. from

the position she was found i. , is supposed to have
• been in the act of casting up her accounts, as a (pan-
' city of halfpence was found lying by a slate, but
neither notes or silver, which the assassin is supposed
tQ have taken away, though no• other part of thu
house was plundered. In a drawer on the first floor,
-notes to the amount of 432 were discovered.

. • The paragraph that has appeared in the papers,
stating that the Medical attendants on Nich9lscn, the
murderer, had assured the Magistrates of his recovery,
•ibuts been contradicted by authority—nn thi contrary
his recovery is censidered very dolibtful.

Datmrzifmt TIMOR&

•
A new Play, called Lose no Time, was. brought out
fer the first time at this Theatre last night. The
plot, if a confused jumble of hacknie4 incidents de-
serves that title, consists in the attempts of two
Officers of Hussars to outwit each other in their
views upon a young Lady, with whom they are both
violently enamoured, according to the modern ac-
ceptance of the word ; that is, they are passionately
attached to her fortune, which amoants, we think, to
£BO,OOO, They are assisted in this plan by a servant,
whose moral pliability is at least equal to that of his
employers. He accepts money from both ; but is at
last inclined in favour of the•more sentimental suitor.
If the Author, in his specimen, has given a faithful
description of our Officers, we must only say, that
their notions of honour are very loose ; but the pic-
ture, it is to be hoped, exists chiefly in the imagina-
tion of the Author. A female writer of novels, over-
, flowing. with love, sentiment, and years; a stupid
beau; a ridiculous old man; and a predestinarian, in
the character of the father of the heroine, compose,
with the two soldiers and the intriguing valet, the
chief personages of the Piece. It was received with
some applause, and was announced for a second re-
preentation on Monday next, with partial and in-
effectual signs of dis.:pprobation. The production is
ascribed to the pen of Mr. Staxeisurov.

To Mr. B. GUEST, No. 9, Great Surrey-s:rect, foot of Black-
friar's-brid-e.

Maid-lane, Borough, S‘ ;"Lwalk, March 8, 1815.
DEAR SlR—When I cfmtemplate on the wan-
derful cure which your Medicines have performed un me,
I feel myself desirous of having it made public as possible.
in.the year Inott I broke my hg two different times in the
same week, and it was so h.:dly tas to oblige me to walk with
my knee on a wooden kg for six years, the firrt three of which
1 tried several of the most eminent :-:.orgeons in I.4..tidon' the last
of whom was Mr. Ashlcy Cooper, until he pron.unccd me in-
curable, wh:ch was in the year I 8r.9. I then begged of him to
cut oil my kg; in answer to which he observed, that an:potation
would be the death of me, therefore be declined thi. operation.
In the year isq, you: having cured my brother of a most dis-
tress;ug head-aaie, be nem-amended rrl to you: I anon ied on
my wooden log, when my kg measured one inch and thecs: quar-
ters less than the other—it was cold as ice., and had b:•en so for
the last five years. Notwithstand ng this, I had no ust for my
wooden leg on the Fecund day. The sixth day I firaVy left off
my crutches, being capable of walking with a stick. In about
three months I was compleatly cited, and have continued ever
since as well and as upright as ever I was Cut what seems to
