ANOTHER LETFER-SAME DATE.

6• On Saturday, the day of their arrest, Sir Robert
positively declined giving any answer whatever to
the interrogatories proposed to him. He was closely
confined and au secret. The day after he would only
answer the mere questions of formality, such as leis
name, age, profesbion, &c. He persisted in this sys-
tem for the motives already explained, and which he
communicated to Lord Auckland, 6 that the ten-
dency of the questions was to criminate him ;' that
he was asked, 6 What his private ("pinion of Ney
was ?—what houses he frequented &c. In conse.
quence of this resolution be was kept au nowt until
the Thursday following, when the Marquis of Buck-
ingham obtained permission for Lady Wilson (who
has the misfortune of being entirely blind) to ♦isit'
her husband, and the Marquis accompanied her to
the prison : since that time the rigour of his cap-
tivity has been alleviated j he is permitted to see her
Ladyship every day, and she enters with the friend
who conducts her.

a Sir Robert is allowed to walk in the Court
when the other prisoners are shut up. M. Dupuis,
the Judge, has conducted himself with all the huma-
nity it was in his power to chew.
" The public attention is directed to the trial of
Sir Robert Wilson and his friends, which is said to
be fixed for Thursday, before the Court of Assizes;
the same Court that tried Lavalette. You may rely
on the exactness of the following particulars :
44 M. Dapin, who defended Marshal Ney, wits re-
tained by Lady Wilson as her husband's Counsel,
immediately after his detention.
64 Various Postmasters and Subaltern Officers of
the Brigades of the Gendarmerie have been put under
arrest between Paris and Mons. They endeavour to
excuse their remifsness by pleading the British uni-
form in which Lavalette escaped, but it appears that
their directions were so positive, that this palliation is
not considered sufficient.'

In the STAft of Monday we shall offer some obser-

THE AR Mr.

DOVER, JANUARY 26.
The transports on board of which the 16th, 2d
Battalion 35th, and Ist Battalion 82d Regiments are
embarked, sailed this day for Ireland. A part of the
3d Regiment Dragoon Guards, and a party of the
Royal Waggon Train arrived this morning from Ca.
lais, and marched off to Canterbury.

RAMSGATE, JANUARY M.
Arrived the Ann schooner, on freight, from Calais,
with 42 men and horses of the 3d DragoodGuatds,
which have been landed in the highest order. Sailed
the Union transport, for Deptford, with baggage of
the Ist and 3d Guards ; and the James transport,
with baggage of the 33d regiment, for Hull.

Yesterday and this morning, the l6th Regiment of
Light Dragoons in 'eche.' through the vicinity of the
Metropolis, on their route from Rumford for Bristol,
where they are to embark for Ireland.

Saturday and this week, the Ist Royal Dragoons
marched into the King's Barracks, Ipswich. At the
same time the 69th Regiment also marched into the
foot barracks, in St. Matthew's there. Bads the
above Regiments are from France, and were at the
battle of Waterloo.
The 55th regiment, lying at Brighton, have receiv-
ed a route for Ireland, and they will proceed on their
march next week, under the command of Col. ALLEN.

Tuesdai• part of the 54th Regiment marched' from
Ipswich for Chelaisford, to join the Battalion there.
The 2d Regiment marched into Chatham Barracks,
on Wednesday and Thursday, from Portsmouth.
The 85th Regiment marched from Chatham on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, for Winchester.
The Btl Garrison Battalion, from the Tower, has
replaced the 32d Regiment at Sheerness.
The Forfarshire and Renfrewshiie Regiments of
Militia are ordered home from Ireland, and on their
arrival in their counties, they will be disembodied.
The fallowing atrocious act occurred at Calais on
Sunday se'nnight. Two privates of fhe Scots Greys
entered a small public-house in the suburbs of that
town. and were quietly 'conversing together, when
they were interrupted and annoyed by the singing
of several Frenchmen. upon which one of the sol-
diers who spoke French, remonstrated with them, as
well on the impropriety of singing on the Sabbath
Jay, as the interruption which the noise occasioned
to their conversation, to which remonstrance no
attention being paid, but the annoyance being re.
doubled, the soldier rose and struck one of the
Frenchmen, with a view to silence him; the landlord
in consequence of the noise, immediately ran to the
guard-house add brought two of the National Guard.,
one of whom instantly made a push with his musket
at one of the soldiers, not the one who had struck the
Frenchman, and drove the bayonet through his body.
The unfortunate man, who was of a mild and quiet
disposition, and here an etemplary character in the
regiment, lingered for a few hours and then died.
T:e offender was immediately taken into custody,
and has since been conveyed to prison at Arras, in
order to be tried for the offence, depositiims having
been taken and evidence left for the purpose of the
prosecution.
On the Bth instant, an apparently fine young man,
about 18 years of age, and five feet nine inches in
height, applied to Serjeant FRAM, recruiting in
Maidstone, for the 36th Foot, to be enlisted. The
Serjeant, pleased with the appearance of the intended
recruit, immediately enlisted him, and the usual rou-
tine of jollification took place, until FRAM proposed
to have the young man's fitness for his new profession
ascertained, by a surgical examination. On this being
suggested, the recruit called the Serjeant aside, and
to }us great surprise and mortification, informed bins
that the recruit was of theft:sham gender.
Wednesday., as a man and woman, belonging to
the Foreign Depot at Harwich, were going to the
BarraCks, the night being extremely dark,, they mis-
took their way, and walked off the end of the jetty
into the water ; the man caught hold of the wood work'
of the jetty, and the woman held by him for some
time, but before any assistance could be rendered. was
obliged to let go her hold, and was unfortunately
drowned; some 'people passing heard their cries, and
succeeded in saving the man. Immediate search was
made for the woman, who about halt an hour after-
wards, was found quite dead, near the Breakwater.

Dispatches were received in town at elate hour on
Thursday night, from the Duke of Wat.Lutirrota, at
Paris.

Thureday, at one o'clock, t Cabinet Council was
held at the Foreign Office, which sat till about three
o'clock ; it was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers
in London, except Earl BATHURST, who was absent
in consequence of the death of his brother. The
Noble Earl has 'not attended to any public business
since.

Yeuerday morning Lord Cativrt.zasAon left town
for Brighton, to lay before the PRINCE Itinnur the
deliberations of the Cabinet. Mr. CUILVOiIIIZR Was
sent off yesterday with dispatches to his Lordship at
Brighton.
