THE ARMY.

We have this day received accounts from Surinam,
which state that settlement to be in a very sickly state.
The 16th and 64th Regiments of Foot have been

The Grace transport, arrived at Plymouth from
Lisbon, has brought over part of the 23d light dra-

We understand, that the SI'EAKER meets Sir FRAN- I
CIS BURDETT'S action with a double plea the first
being th 6 general issue, that he is not „..u:1:y of the
trespass alleged in the declaration ; and the second,
that the Court has no jurisdiction in the case. We
believe there is no precedent for a Defendant's en-
tering a double plea, without special leave of the
Court before which the action is brought. if our in-
formation should prove correct, the first question for
the consideration of the Court of King's Bench, will
relate to the SPEAKER'S right to assume a privilege of
this description.

Yesterday the Four-in-Hand Club had their Second
Spring Meeting in Mortimer-street, Cavendish-square.
The muster was a very thin one, owing no doubt, to
the inclemency of the weather. Only five started at
two o'clock precisely.
MUNGo PARK.—By vessels arrived from Gorce and
Sierra Leone, we are enabled to state, that so late as
the month of March last considerable hopes were en-
tertained that the celebrated and enterprising Musdo
PARK, so often reported to have. lost his life, was still
alive. The ship Favourite, of London, Capt. TRUMAN,
is arrived at Plymouth from Goree. Previous to the I
departure of that vessel, information had been received j
at Senegal by a native of the Mandingo ccuntry, who
accompanied Mr. PARK as far into the interior as I
Sego and Sansanding, that he was alive in the month
of January. Colonel MAXWELL, the Governor of Se-
negal, had, in consequence of this infdrmation, di-
rected that I a decked boat shonld immediately be fitted
out to proceed up the River Senegal, for the purpose
of giving assistance to Mr. PARK in his indefatigable
exertions in exploring the Continent of Africa. This
account is further corroborated by a letter, dated in
March last, received by a vessel from Sierra Leone,
from Dr. DOUGLAS, who writes as follows :
" Permit me to lay before you some information respecting Mr.
MUNGO PARK, which I was favoured with from au intelligent
Mahomedan, whom I met at Gorce, and who had acted as a
guide to Mr. PARK, from the time of his landing on the Conti-
nent of Africa to his embarkation on the Niger. He states, that
the King of Seoo had shown much favour to Mr. PARK, and
that the report of his assassination there was untrue. He had
passed far along the Niger without any molestation whatever from
the Natives. My informant could not recollect the date of his
embarkation on the Niger, but thinks i, must be about three years
I ago. Mr. Past had taken four months provisions for himself
and two followers, with whom he intended to proceed to the
eastward, and onwards as far as the Red Sea. Some travellers,
Who had fallen in With this guide, informed him, that about two
or three month subsequent to dr. PARK'S embarkation, he had
been severely scorched in his breast by the bursting of a gun while
firing at SLIM birds, but that he passed Tombuesoo in the night
by water."
