BRICHDON, SEPTEMBER I.*

Th 4 Duke of Tonic has become the patron of this
place; and, by his condescension, he diffuses a game.
ral ssciability among the various circles of fashion.
By liberal donations, and attention to various chari-
table applications, the Illustrious Commander in
Chief has insured the affectitnis of all parties. The
parties of his Royal Highness at the Pavilion ale
limited. Among the visitors last week, we observed
General Twinges. the Hon. Colonel (brow, of the
Guanis, Mr. GagutwooD, Mr. LACS" and one or
tw.) other denend Officers.

Friday night the Eliza packet, Captain Warr,
arrived from Dieppe with 24 passengers, among
whom were C. W. TAYLOR, Esq. M. P. Mr. YOUNG,
the celebrated tragedian, and three respectable fami-
lies. The English are now returtisk home in 2rester
numbers than the departures from this place. The
circulation of the English newspapers in Paris has
given publicity to the account of the murder of Cap
Lan PARTRIDOC and a subscription has been opened
in that city, and at Dieppe, for the relief of the au.
metals family of the 'deceased. We are likewise
glad to state, that through the fortunate interference
of Sir W. Score the untertanate affair is not likely
to be silently hushed up. Bente the Eliza sailed on
Wednesday night, an order came down from Paris to
arrest six of the Custom house officers, concerned in
the murder of Captain PARTRIDGE, and they were
taken into custody; but we are sorry to learn that
the fellow who actually Eliot Captain PARTRIDGE was
allowed to escape, and the measures taken for his
apprehension have been tardily executed by the
French Police, although every individual is aware of
their facilities to detect offenders.
