LORD SOMERVILLE'S FLOCK OF MERINO SHEEP.
TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION,
On Virednesdey the 2d and Thursday the 3d of May next,
rrHE WHOLE OF THIS STOCK, selected in
1800 and 1801, front sundry Leonesa Flocks, and bred
without any admixture of other blood.
The superiority of the Leonesa, over every other pile of Spaaish
Wool, is to be seen in the Prices Current of our own Weekly
Journals.
The reputation of this Flock is fortunately so well established,
as to demand no comment whatever, beyond the following state-
ment:
In 1806, the great Premium given for the best Merino Ram,
by the Board of Agticulture, was won by a Ram of this flock, bred,
in Etigletl.
In 1807, the Prize for the best Ram's Fleece, given by the Bath
and Vest of ineland Society, was'veon by a Rant of this flock,
and it was declared in print by the Committee of that Society,
(which, situated in the centre of the superfine cloth manufacturers,
has therefore been deereed corclusive) to be the finest fleece of
wool which had ever come under its examination. The Print of
this Sheep is to be found in Malcolm's Survey of Surrey, in Lau-
renceVl reatise on Live Stock, and in a late Publication on the
subject of Sheep, &c. by the Proprietor.
The symmetry of his form, and the aptitude to feed, demon-
strated by this animal in so extraordinary a manner, had, before
lite adjudication of this Prize, induced the Proprietor to breed
almost exclusively from him.
Lastly, any doubt of the superior value of these sheep, which
have never been beat iu any competition, is for ever removed by
the recent decision of the Bath Society, by which, Premiums
were offered last year as follows :
CLAss V. No. S. BRITISII net Wool.. "As many persons,
" whether mauufacturers or, others, still deny the practicability of
" producing in Great Britain, Wool equally fine with that fm-
" ported from Spain ; in order to put this question to atrial, from
" which there can be no appeal, a Premium of Ten Guineas is
" offered to the Manufacturer of the finest Piece of Navy Blue
" Broad Cloth, dyed in the Wool, not ler. than twenty-five yards
" in length, which shall be exhibited to the Society, on die day
" before the Annual Meeting in 1609, made from clothing Wool
" front the Sheep Tribe grown in any Coune e. The name of
" each Manufacturer, and pile or species of Wool, and of the
" Grower,' Of British) to be contained in a sealed Paper, having
" on the outside-a mark indicating the piece of Cloth to which it
" reters, and which it must accompany. Such Paper not to be
" opened until the Committee shall have made their report on
14.• tee merits of the respective Cloths, which report shall be given.
",front the Chair; and no person form a part of the Committee
" who is personally interested in the decisien."
By the exertions of Messrs. Joyce and Co. Clothiets, the Prep
mium was adjudged to the Wool of this Flock, and for this Pre-
snit= no less than sixteen pieces of Cloth were exhibited, many
of which were made from picked samples of the Saxon and Spa-
nish Merine‘Piles.
The Sale will take place at Falrmile Farm, near Cobham,'
Surrey, IS milk-strew London, on the Portsmouth Roadeat ten
o'clock in the' forenoon.
The great drafts whisk have been made from this flock, lak
season only, namely, Seventy-five pure bred Merino Ewes, and
a large number of others, highly crossed, must render these sheep
en object of peculiar attention to every skilful Breeder.
The Flock fur Sale will consist of neatly Two Htlndred pure
Merino Ewes in high condition, nearly Two Hundred Merino
and Ryland Ewes, highly crossed, very capital in their Wool,
and Thirty Rams of the pure Blood, five only being reserved for
the use of the Owner, the whole the get of the Rant above-men-
tioned.—Each Ewe with her Lamb will form one lot, as will
also each of the Rams.
The Proprietor thinks it incumbent on him plainly to state
that the Sheep will actually be sold without reserve, and that his
motives for holding this sale are of a private and local nature,
and by no means arise from any. change of opinion as to- the value
of Merino Stock

The Sheep may be viewed every Thursday by personal appli-
cation only to the Shepherds; the pure Freed at the place of sale;
the mixed till '1 hursday the 19th of April, at Bipo's Park, Bark-
ing, Essex, after which time they will b. conveyed to Fairmile
Farm —N. B. The Wool must not be plucked front the Sheep.
Catalogues may be had nn and after the Sd of April, at Messrs.
Gibbs and Co. Scedsmen, corner of Half-Moon-street, Picca-
dilly at the Bare of the. Post-Houses of the following Towns :

Head, in the Poultry, TO•MOR Row, the 3d instant, at One o'clock.
GEORGE DALLAS, Chairman.
King's Head, Poultry, April 2, 1810.

To the DIRECTOR GENERAL of Me MEDICAL
DEPARTMENT of the AR Mr.

Sta—ln consequence of having seen in the STAR
of the 15tk instant, a letter addressed to you, relative
to the Medical Officers of the Army, I have been in-
duced, thus publicly, to address you as being the le-
gally constituted and acknowledged head of that de-
partment.
It is my humble opinion that every person who
has read the letter alluded to, will allow, that the
subject of which it professes to complain, is founded
in truth—that every word, every syllable, strikes
immediate conviction to the mind. It is written with
simplicity and moderation, with the exception of that
passage, which might seem intended to throw out an
invidious insinuation against the subaltern officers,
but which I am convinced was only mentioned to
heighten the contrast, as the author was making a
comparison between the situations of the two classes
of officers.
Although the passage be strictly and indubitably
applicable to a great number, yet there are many of
this description of officers in the army who have re-
ceived great comprehension from nature, and illumi-
nation from science, men of various, both natural
and acquired, accomplishments.
I, for my part, have ever thought the services of
the Medical Gentlemen of the army very unhand-
somely recompensed, and their merits very unjustly
appreciated. They are actually and bona Pe de-
voting their time and their talents to the public ser-
vice gratis, without even the consolation of receiving
the thanks or gratitude of their country. This will
appear evident, if we reflect for a moment, that
their miserable pittance of pay will do little more
than amount to the common interest of that sum,
which they must have originally expended in acquir-
ing a knowledge of their profession, more particu-
larly those who are men of general erudition, of
whom, for the honour of the profession and the coun-
try, it is to be hoped there are a great number in the
army. It is not probable that it will ever happen,
nor is it indeed to be expected, that the Medical Of-
fie,. ill ever receive rank in the army correspond
their military brethren, if in the word

the word rank in that letter, to mean

PARIS, MARCH 22.—From Petersburgh, the 21st
February, it is stated, that the Russian army, under
the orders of the Prince Bagrathion, was about to
recommence hostilities against the Turks, and that '
the Grand Vizier had arrived from Constantinople,
1
to resume the command of the Turkish forces.
COPENHAGEN, MARCH 16.—The Danish Consul at
Gottenburgh has informed the Royal. Company of

with the 4th article of the treaty of peace with Den-
mark, has directed that the Danish and Norwegian
vessels, and other property of the same countries,

A decree of his Prussian Majesty, and an extract
of a communication from the French Minister for
Foreign Affairs, unfold the system, from a strict ad-
herence to which, it is calculated that all commer-
cial intercourse between this country and the Conti-
nent will be rendered impracticable. To give effect
to this, we find that the coasts of Pomerania, and
from the Elbe to the Scheldt, are to be occupied by
French troops.
Extract of a letter from the Minister of the Interior,
to the Prefect of the Seine, dated Paris, March 12 :
" 1. The licences will contain, as before, an obligation to ex-
port three-fourths of the tonnage in agricultural produce of the
growth of France ; half the cargo is to consist of wine or brandy;
the other fourth to be composed at pkuure of whatsoever articles
are permitted to be exported by our Custom-house laws.
'1 S. Licenced vessels may impart all such articles of produce
and merchandise as are permitted by ow laws ; in which are not
included tobacco,
.cotton wool and yarn, cotton cloths, colonial
and East and est India produce—a:earns° nevertheless,
dye-woods, gualacum, drugs used for the purposes dying, eh*.
row, Peruvian bark, and medicinal drugs. A list of the articles
coming under the denomination of drugs for dyeing will be con-
tained in a special instruction to be given by the Counsellor of State,
the Director General of the Customs.
" S. The licences shall be paid for at the rate of 90 fs. the ten,
and in proportion to the burden of the vessel ; but the maximum
for any licences is fixed at 600 fs. that is to say, that there will be
no additional charge for any burden above 300 tons."
The Hamburgh Paper states, probably from the
dictation of the French Minister in that city, that the
Empress JOSEPHINE intends to retire to Italy.
The Provisional Government at Cadiz, it is said,
have consented to the removal of all the Spanish and
French ships of war in that port to Minorca, and to
allow that island to be occupied by British troops.
Letters have been received from Buenos Ayres to
the date of the 27th of December, by which it ap-
pears that a strong sensation had been produced in
the Spanish settlements, from 'the reverses suffered
by the parent state. The inhabitants are stated to be
divided into three parties ; those who would adhere
to the fortunes of Old Spain, those who would con-
nect themselves with the Brazils, and those who
would declare the independence of the colonies. It
is probable that the weight of the first and third
parties is nearly on an equipoise, but that the advo-
cates for a political connection with the Brazils are
few and feeble.

• GOTTENBURCH MAILS.
Srocituotm, MARCY! 22.—The Ratification of the
Treaty between this country and France is at length
arrived ; and it is expected that peace will be solemnly
proclaimed in the course of a few days. As yet we
are ignorant of the person who is to fill the post of
Minister from the French Court.
COPENHAGEN, MARCH I9.—lntelligence has been
received of the advance of a French corps towards
Holstein, with a view of occupying that duchy, in
consequence, it is said, of a large armament being
prepared in England, with an intention of making
another attack upon Zealand and Bornholm. In re-
turn for the protection afforded by these troops, they
are to be maintained at the expence of Government.
SENILIN, FEBRUARY B.—Letters from Constantino-
ple state, that the English squadron, commanded by
Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, about the bfginning
of last month, passed the Dardanelles for the Black
Sea. Intelligence has also been received, that the most
vigorous preparations of defence are made by the
Russians in all ports of the Crimea.

Yesterday morning, at half•past eleven o'clock, a
heavy firing commenced from the batteries on the
French coast, which lasted without intermission for
nearly two hours, and was distinctly heard at Dover
and the neighbourhood.
There has been no arrival to announce the cause of
this firing, but it was probably in honour of the Royal
Nuptials at Paris.
Some of our contemporaries have been asserting
the arrival of another Flag of Truce, at Dover, on
Thursday. The statement is an idle fabrication.

The Margaret, Captain HARDY, from Hayti, ar-
rived at Liverpool on Saturday. In lat. 51. 30. N.
long. 11. 0. W. saw an English frigate, with a French
frigate (her prize) in company, supposed to be the
same frigate that captured and burned the Nevis
Planter.

We announced on Saturday the arrival of the
LADY PELLEW packet, off Falmouth, with mails from
Jamaica. Our letters of this morning state, that she
was 45 days on her passage. On the 16th February,
she fell in with his Majesty's ship Avow, of 18 guns,
and was informed by her, that on the 14th the Avow,
in company with the RAINBOW of 24 guns, fell in
with and engaged a large French frigate, carrying
SO long 24-pounders on the main deck, besides 20
smaller ones above, and full of troops ; supposed to
have been destined for the relief of Guadeloupe, but
returning to France on finding that island in our pos-
session. The RAINBOW and Avow were much da-
maged in their hulls and rigging, and had about 20
men killed and wounded. The frigate escaped.

Since our last, two Gottenburgh Mails have ar,
rived, bringing letters from Copenhagen, and Ger-
man Papers to the 19th ult. Paris Papers to the
25th have also arrived, and Dutch to the 27th.
The accounts from Gottenburgh confirm our for-
mer statements of the march of a French army to
occupy Holstein ; and the plea for this measure is,
that an armament has been prepared in England for
the purpose of making another attack on Zealand
and Bornholm. An armament is doubtless about to
sail from England for the Baltic ; hut, we believe, we
may venture to say, that an attack upon Zealand
forms no part of its object. It is a circumstance,
however, well worthy of the most serious considera-
tion, that in this, as well as many other instances, the
enemy have become apprised of the intentions of
our Government long before any active preparation
has been made for carrying into effect the object de-

age.
A duel was fought on Friday in the vicinity. of this
metropolis, by Lord Ds DUNSTANVILLE and Sir
CHRISTOPHER HAWKINS ; but we are happy to state
that neither received any injury. The latter, we un-
derstand, was the challenger, and a disagreement re-
lative to the Borough of Grampound, is assigned as
the cause.
Mr. HouzELLE, a banker at Verdun, is arrived in
London. He is said to confirm the article in the
French papers respecting a duel between two British
Officers at that place. The parties were, Captain
ALEXANDER, of the Marines, by whose hands Lieute-
nant BARKER, late of the Hussar frigate, fell. The
duel took place on the 18th of February. Captain
ALEXANDER has been committed to prison under the
new Penal Code, by which duelling is made a capital
offence. Mr. HouzzLLE passed through Paris, where
he had an interview with Captain Sir T. Lava ; that
Officer not being able to effect his exchange, had de-
manded passports from the French Government for
his Lady and family to join him at Paris. General
WIRRION, the former Governor of Verdun, is under
trial for his extortions on the British prisoners. The
total number of English now in France is said to bel
16,000.
In a French cartel, which arrived from Morlaix on
Wednesday,there were passengers two English Ladies,
and two Officers with their servants ; one of them,
Capt. FALCONER, Aid-de-camp to Sir DAVID BAIRD,
is come over for six months upon his parole.
THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT-GARDEN.--.-HOWP to
Tease, and How to Pkate.—Notwithstanding the dis-
tinct and peremptory eft:claimer so loudly pronounced
against the propriety of the latter title given to this
Piece, on its first exhibition last Friday night, it was
again brought forward on Saturday ; and strange to
tell ! was suffered to proceed in the performance to
the end of it; with little or no interruption
The Promenade in the. Parks, yesterday, could
boast but of a thin attendance of fashionableklles, who
esteemed it most prudent to remain within the comfor-
table coverts of their carriage. There was, however,
a respectable muster of looted beaux who came, but
Ito lament the absence of those gems of British
kauty, whose presence constitutes the great attraction,
and gives life to the scene. The Ride exhibited its
I accustomed troops ofequestrianstin which there was
the usual variety of horsefieeh from the noble charger to
Ithe humble shad. The Ring was graced by some of its
constant visitors, and exhibited many equipages of
elegance and dash.
