As most people, who have been up the country,
have -visited Hurdwar, and seen the steps leading
down to Hurkee Pyree, I need not give a description
of them, further than stating that they are very steep
in descent, and about ten feet broad, with high walls
on one side. At the summit from the Hurdwar side,
there is an ascent by a broad flight of steps; at the
tops of these the guards were stationed, to prevent
the crowds pressing indiscriminately; a little before
day-break, the Sunyassees and Byragees, who had
the quarrel in 1796, vied with each other at the top
for precedency of bathing, and made a sudden rush,
in which the unfortunate Sepoys, and all the multi-
tude who were descending, were carried dowg with
such violence that they got jammed together within
three steps of the water, where an angle of the old
sacred Pyree Muth, and an angle of-the Plunder of
the Mahadee closes the passage to about seven feet,
and opens with a swell behind. Here the unfortunate
beings were crammed together with such violence,
that motion, or use of limbs, was unavailing; the
weak, the strong, in vain made efforts, it was all the
same, the more exertion they made, the more en-
twined their limbs became. At half-past seven, A.M.
I was a witness to this horrid scene; the cries, the
moans of the unfortunate multitude were heart-rend-
ing in the extreme; strength, force, or any contriv-
ance or effort to assist them was in vain. I made •
several attempts to extract those who were in the fore-
most files below, but their bodies, legs, and arms were
so entwined, that it was impossible to extract one of
them, and nothing equals the apathy of the rascally Po-
jareeßrahmins. A pleasing part of this recital throws
a ray of a brighter hue on the Sepoys of the sth and
27th, and the Gorkeeah Corps, who, though people
of high cast and prepossessions, were stript and ac-
tively employed in extracting the dead. This was a
labour of no small exertion, and they had to clear
away the dead from nearly sixty feet, in an angle of
fifty-six or sixty degrees, before they could extract
the living who were below. Colonel Patten, and
several Officers, by their exertions, and cheering the
Sepoys, induced them to clear the mass of dead
away. At ten A.M. the living who were below were
I extracted in a most horrid stater-their limbs blis-
tered, inflamed, and in a state of putrefaction; the
.number alive did not exceed thirty beings, and an ex-
traordinary instance I must record, which was 4
young woman, who was under the whole mass in the
centre and alive, who had merely her head and arms
free. From the information I could collect from
those who were present when this unfortunate cir-
cumstance occurred, the time as stated was three, or
half-past three, A.M. and what must have been the cause
of the death of those on the upper steps, must have
been the multitude who rushed over them down-
wards, and who could not return until the Military
stopped up all the passages above, and prevented the
other crowds following them. Although the Brah-
mins' prediction of sickne'ss has not been fulfilled, the
deaths at the sacred place have given somewhat of
sanction to their prophecy, and even of this unfor-
tunate accident they will make a plea still to delude
the ignorant multitude. No exact account of the
dead can be given, but it must exceed -100 Persons;
a vast number of these were Sunyassees and Byra-
gees. I saw four of the Gorkeeah Corps, only one
alive, and who was jammed close to the angle of the
small Muth.

This morning the Public were again shocked by
the execution of some more victims to the Bank
system of punishing, instead of preventing crimes.
How can the Bank Directors sleep quietly in their
beds, if they consider for a moment the nature of
such proceedings? They have been repeatedly of-
fered plans well calculated to lessen the facility of
Forging their Notes, and yet they go on sacrificing
victim after victim How long will the Bank and
the Government shut their ears to the public voice,
and persevere in a system so revolting to humanity ?

Yestet day afternoon Mr. SYLVESTER, King's Mes-
senger, was forwarded by Lord CAsmEnEAou, from
North Cray, with dispatches for Lord STEWART, the
British Ambassador at the Court of Vienna.
A Cabinet Courier from the Austrian Government
arrived at Chandos House, yesterday morning, with
dispatches for Prince ESTERHAZY.
Yesterday afternoon a Russian Messenger was for-
warded from the residence of Count LIEVEN, in
Harley-street, with dispatches for the Russian Am-
bassador at Vienna.
Yesterday morning, the Earl of ERROL led to the
Hymeneal Altar Miss FITZCLARENCE, daughter of
his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE. The
nuptial ceremony was performed at Saint George's
Church, Hanover-square. Their Royal Highnesses
the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and a select
party of distinguished personages, attended on the
occasion. After the ceremony was performed, the
whole of the party proceeded to Clarence-house,
Stable-yard, Saint James's, where they partook of an
elegant dljeuna ; after which the happy pair set out
for Bushy-park, where tl.ey will pass a few days,
when they will set out for Ireland, where the Noble
will join his Regiment.—The bride's dress was
p:e.ented to her by their Royal Highnesses the Pals-
OC3SES ; it was one of the handsomest ever seen in
materials aad taste. Her Lady ship changed it after
breakfast, at the Palace, for her travelling-dress. The
esents to the bride were magnificent, particularly
that ft om her Majesty the Queen of WIRTEMBERG.
Monday se'nnight, the Incerporation of Mary's
Chapel, Edinburgh, met, and resolved to present an
Address of Congratulation to the QUEEN on the aban-
donment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. A mo-
tion to Address the KING on the same subject was
also male, but ultimately witlidt awn.
An Address to the KING is now lying for signa-
ture in the Vestry-Room, Islington. Its birth and
parentage are still a secret, as nu Public Meeting of
the Inhabitants was called to sanction the measure.
—A Requisition, signed by many respectable Pel-
risltione:s, was, indeed, sent to the Churchwardens,
to call a Meeting for the purpose of Addressing the
QUZEN on the rejection of the obnoxious Bill of Pains
and Penalties, but they refused to comply with it :
and yesterday a hand-bill was circulated, announcing
that a loyal Address to his MAJESTY might be signed
in the Vestry-room.
Yesterday, a number of the Inhabitants of the
Ward of Cheap met at the King's Head Tavern, in
the Poultry, for the purpose of considering the pro-
piety of passing a loyal Declaration of their attach-
ment to his MAJEST'Y'S Person and Government.
Mr. RANKIN was called to the Chair, who opened the
business of the day, and concluded by reading " the
Declaration of the loyal Inhabitants of Cripplegate
Ward."—Mr. SHARP proposed that a Requisition to
the Alderman, to call a Wardmote upon the subject,
should be drawn up and presented. He wished to
be understood, that it was not to the matter of the
Declaration, but to the manner of getting it up that
he objected.—Mr. GOULD said, that it had been in
contemplation to call a Wardmote, but the Alder-
man was out of town,. and would not return for
several days.—Mr. limEs enforced the necessity of
something immediately being done in company with
Cripplegate and the other Wards. Tie present
would not preclude any future Meeting.—At this
moment two Gentlemen entered the room, who,
upon being asked their names, stated, that they were
connected with the Press.—The CHAIRMAN said the
Meeting was a private one. The Gentlemen then with-
drew, and left the Addressers to tell their own story.
It has been stated that BERGAMI is on his way to
London, in order to resume his functions as Cham-
berlain to her MAJESTY. We are assured that there
is not the least truth in this report. BERGAMI has
returned to his farm, near Milan, which he super-
intends himself. He never would have received the
appointment of Chamberlain had not the different
English Gentlemen who attended her MAJESTY
abroad requested leave, from considerations of health
or family convenience, to return to England. Her
MAJESTY, who had been advised by Mr. CANNING
to withdraw from this country, in order that she
might not, as that Gentleman expressed himself, be-
come the centre of political intrigue, found herself,
on• the absence of her English suite, compelled to
apply to foreigners to fill the different offices in her
household. Now that her MAJESTY has returned to
England, the reason for her employment of these
foreigners has ceased. Having determined to fix her
residence among a people whom she has found
equally generous and steady in her adversity, she
will form her household entirely of English, whose
character will deprive even her most malignant ene-
mies of all hope of again assailing her honour through
hired perjury and domestic treason.

Extract of a Letter, dated Trinidad, October 10:
Everything goes nn well for the prosperity of Co-
lumbia. In addition to the desertions from the enemy,
and the accessions from the neighbouring districts,
mentioned in the Correo di Orinoco of the 2d ultimo 'I
(see the STA a.of yesterday), I learn, by advices from
Angostura, that Cumana, Carupano, and all the Cor-
dillera, were about to be occupied by the troops of
the Republic, the population of those places having
manifested a desire to follow the example of Barce-
lona and the interior c,f Caraccas. The same issue
was looked for, both as regarded the capital of Ca-
raccas and the whole of Venezuela, as the Creoles
are daily deserting the cause of Spain by whole towns
and regiments. From a friend in Caraccas, I learn,
that General La Torre entered that city on the 6th
September. It was believed that he had sustained a
defeat from the Patriots at Bailadores, butithe deser-
tion of 300 cf his Cavalry, of which there is certain
information, and the dread lest all his Creoles should
follow their example, appear the more probable
causes of his retreat. One event, which seems unim-
portant, should inspire confidence into the Colum-
bians : it is the calling together a Council of War in
Caraccas, by tilorillo ; for, when this man deigns to
ask advice, it is a sure sign that all is lost, and that
he seeks solely to divide the responsibility of making
concessions." • _ _

A German Paper, contains the following letter,
dated Augsburg, November 22:
" We now receive the following information respect •
ing the causes &. the measures lately adopted by the
American Congress against France, and the subse-
quent reprisals. Immediately after the arrival of the
American Minister, Galatin, at Paris, he declined to
our Government—' That he was authorized to con-
clude a treaty of commerce, founded on the basis of
perfect equality, and calculated to afford -equal ad-
vantages to both patties: He proposed, for this pur-
pose, the principles of the treaty concluded in July,
1815, be:ween the United States an.d Great Britain.
Befoie this time the two States, to promote their own
navigation, had issued various Ordinances imposing
higher duties on the vessels entering their respective
ports, and on the goods brought by such ships. When
M. Galatin's overtures were made, these duties were
higher in France than in the United States, in which
latter place various measures had been hitherto tried
to restore the evilibrium, but without effect. %his
state of things was alleged by M. Galatin, in his first
communication to the French Government, as the
motive of his proposals, and he even then declared,
that his Government would be obliged to propose to
the Congress some modifications of the existing laws
if his proposals were not acceded to, the consequimce
of which would be an increase of the duties on French
vessels entering the ports of Not•th America, as well
as on French goods. M. Galatin, at the same time,
intimated that his Government would be satisfied if
sonic other at rangement could be adopted, agree-
' able to both parties. Ile observed further, that the
system by which, sometimes on one side, sometimes
on the other, extraordinary duties were laid on the
ships and goods of other nations, was attended with
great difficulties, and even disadvantages; and that
at least a kind of commercial war must arise, the re-
suit of which must necessarily have an unfavourable
influence on the amicable relations of both countries.
M. Galatin, after this overture, proposed the project
of a treaty, according to which the following b.riis
should be laid down for the arrangement to be con-
cluded :-1. That in the United States no higher
duties should be laid upon French vessels than on the
American vessels themselves; and that French pro-
duce and French manufactures, imported in French I
bottoms, should be subject to no higher import duties i
than if imported in American bottoms ; that, on the I
other hand, France should adopt the same system with
regard to American ships, produce, and manufactures:
2d, that France should, besides, engage not to im-
pose on the produce and manufactures of America
any higher duties than may be done, with regard to
such articles, for the advantage of any foreign State;
and that the same measure shall be adopted in the
United States with respect to the produce and manu-
factures of France. M. Galatin expressly declared,
on this occasion, that, if these conditions were not
accepted by France, the United States would be
obliged to lay higher duties upon French vessels.
The French Government would not consent to the
unconditional acceptance of these terms, and pro-
posed, it is said, a counter-project, which was in like
manner rejected. The measures announced by M.
Galatia were actually adopted by the Congress; an
enormous duty was proposed on French ships enter-
ing American ports, and France was obliged to use
reprisals. Since that, we learn, new proposals of
arrangement have been made, which will probably.;
lead to a favourable result."
