FEMALE FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.

PROMMADE Daeu.—A pelisse, composed of dark violet co-
loured velvet; the body is tight to the shape, rather long in the
waist, and a good deal sloped at each side of the back. The sleeve
Is an easy width ; it is terminated by a French cuff; the pelisse
wraps across in front, and is trimmed with satin of the same
colour : it must be observed, that the little bands which separate
the heading from the bottom, are of velvet, and that the trim-
ming goes all round the collar and cuffs, which are trimmed to
correspond : the pelisse is lined with white sarsnet. A cachemire
shawl is thrown over the shoulders, and fastened at the throat
with a brooch. Lace ruff, made very fulL Head-dress, a bonnet
composed of violet-coloured velvet, and lined with white satin ;
the shape is very well adapted for walking ; it is rather close, but
becoming. The brim, of moderate size, turns up a little, and is
finished just under and above the edge with bands of white
velours natty. A very full plume of violet-coloured ostrich fea-
thers is placed ou one side of the crown ; the strings correspond.
Boots of violet kid. Limerick gloves. Ermine muff.

EVENING vases. A round dress, composed of blond net
over a white figured satin slip. The eerier is cut square round
the bust, and is ornamented with a wreath of Provence roses.
The sleeves, which are very short and full, are of blond over
white satin ; the fulness partially conceals the roses which form
it into draperies. The bottom of the skirt is finished by a wreath
of Provence roses placed near the edge. This is surmounted by
a trimming of the same material as the dress : it is in folds; they
are edged with white satin, and form cavities, placed at some
distance from each other; a bouquet of roses is put in every ca-
vity. This trimming is at once tasteful, simple, and novel, and
the general effect of the dress is uncommonly beautiful. The
hind hair is arranged in braids and bows, which do not rise much
above the crown of the head. The front hair is brought very
low at the side of the face in light curls: the forehead is left
bare, with the exception of a single ringlet in the middle. A
coral wreath is placed rather far back. Necklace and ear-rings
pearl. White kid gloves, and white satin --

Fa emit, Wa.Lama bans.—Round dress of light willow-green
smart, with two flounces next the hem; above which arc four
tucks surlnJunted by a double flounce. The dress is made par.
tially high, pclerine capes. Bonnet of white chip, ornamented
with clover and gauze ribbons. Cachemire shawl of raspberry
red, variegated border. Kid half-boots, the colour plum blos-
som. White gloves.

Excrtsa Casataca Dank—The pelisse is composed of a
Cachenitre of very rich appearance and effect, the colour of
which is a fine cream-eolour. The trimming is of foliage of•grert
beauty and simplicity, disposed with the most charming effect ;
its colour is that of Ceylon ruby; the material of which it is
composed is a very rich and elegant satin. The course followed
by the foliage trimming is first down the sides of the pelisse, and
thence round the border. The cape of this Imposing dress is
made double, and is of the description generally understood by
the term curricle-cape; it is also finished with a very handsome
trimming of foliage, and has an elegant display of Hungarian
military buttons, which are set at equal distances from each
other. The whole of this singularly superb dress Is finished in a
most tasteful manner by a falling cape-collar, of the same colour
as the trimming already mentioned, viz. that of the Ceylon ruby,
and its material, a Genoa velvet of great brilliancy and richness.
The bonnets most generally worn with this carriage pelisse are
of various fashions, as may be deemed most becoming to the va-
rying circumstances of age, figure, height, and all those nice dis-
, tinetiols which the eye of taste will catch, but which can scarcely
be described.—La Belk Assembla.
WALKING DlLEs3.—Pelisse of violet-coloured sarsnet, richly
trimmed at the sleeves, cuffs, and at the bottom, with swans-
down : collar with folds of white satin, placed one above
another; the sleeve tight to the arm, and finished at the shoulder
with epaulettes very full, and composed of an intermixture of
satin and silk, the same material as the pelisse: the skirt but-
toned close down the front, and trimmed at the bust with Bran-
denburga. White satin bonnet, with a superb plume of white
ostrich feathers; coffre reticule of red 'Morocco leather, white
Cashmir shawl, and Isabella-coloured kid half-boots.
Erzkixc Dans.—Round dress of figured gauze, deep flounce
of lace, surmounted with full puckered gauze, headed by a rou-
leau of satin, the same carried round the centre of the trimming:
white satin cordage low, with short sleeves, epaulettes of deep
Lice, richly intermixed with straps of satin piping; the whole
-completed with a fine lace narrow quilled tucker. "Head-dress,
the hair arranged a la Sevigne, with a bouquet of full-blokm
roses on the left side. Necklace and ear-rings of large oriental
pearls; white satin slippers, and white kid gloves.—Ludy's Mug.

It is, perhaps, not generally known, that in the
year 1703, the greater part of this street bore the
name of Portugal-street. In the " .Nelv View of
London," published in that year, a Portug,al•street
is spoken of in. terms which could only be applicable
to a continuation of Piccadilly. Thus Burlington
House is said to stand on the north side of Pork.
go!-Fire; t, near Piccadilly ;" and Berkeley House, on
the scite of which Devonshire Rouse has been since
built, is thus mentioned :
" Berkeley House, a spacious building, on the north side of
PuNtegol-4rect, near Piccadilly, with a spacious large Clurt,
row in the occupation of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE. The house
is built of brick, adorned with stone pilasters, and an entabla-
ture and pediment, all of the Corinthian order, under which is
the figure of Britannia finely carved In stone ; and, at some dis-
tance, on the cast side of the Court. is the kitchen and laundry ;
and, on the west side, stables and lodgiug-rooms, which adjoin
to the mansion by brick walls and two circular galleries, each
elevated on columns of the Corinthian order, where are two
ambulatories."

Again, in the list of streets, we find further in-
stances of a denomination now obsolete:
" Albemarle-street a street of excellent new building, Inha-
bited by person► of quality, betwden the fields and Par[ugat-
&reel, right against the N.W. end at St. lunes's-street.

" Arfinvown-street, a very graceful and pleasant street of ex-
cellent houses, inhabited by Nobility and Gentry ; it looks W.
into St. James's Park, and runs parallel with St. James's-street,
out of Portuge-street.
" PORTUGAL-STREET.—A very spacious street, between the
road to Kensington and Piccadilly; length .560 yards."
This last quotation enables any one to. determine
where Piccadilly then ended, and Portugal-street
began. The adoption of the latter name for the
newer buildings should seem to shew, that they were
begun to be raised while CATHARINE of Portugal
was Queen Consort—or before DWI.. In the well
known Map, or View of London, as it existed in the
reign of ELIZABETH, the whole of the present Picca-
dilly is marked as " The road to Redinge."

FREEMASONRY.
BRISTOL, OCTOI3ER 27.

At the Masonic Hall, in Bridge-street, on Monday
last, was held an Encampment of Rose Crucians—
Companion RICHARD Smirn, G. Commander, when
nine Knights, from the Camp of Baldwin Time Im-
memorial, were admitted into the Conclave, and in-
stalled in ample form.

The Comm- anderies of the Nine Elect—the Scotch
Knights—the Knights of the East and the Templars,
being present in lull costume, exhibited a brilliant
scene of splendour, which has never been equalled in
-Bristol, nor indeed, we believe, in any part of the
Kingdom—this Province being, in the higher depart-
ments of Masonry, confe.sedly superior even to the
Metropolis itself. Several Companions joined the
Encampment from Bath, Gloucester, Bet keley, and
Hereford, and expressed themselves very highly gra-
tifiel and de.ighted.
After the conflicts with the Saracens in Palestine,
the Sir Knights made a crusade to Burnham's, at the
Montague, where they did (not).

" Or drink the red wine through the helmet bare d;'
But having laid their armour by—
" The bells (for John) were'rung,
" And the glee was sung.
" And the feast cat merrily, merrily!"
In the centre of the table was a noble Sir-Loin,
surmounted with a banner of the Royal Orders, and
the following inscription:
Brothers ! Sir Knights! your visors lift, and see
Where Britain's-regal glory dwells with me.
Turtle avatuit ! and mincing French ragouts,
Fit only chops of sucklings to amuse!
The good OLD ENGLISH BARON here I sit,
Dropping with gravy from a Burnham's spit;
And since here's neither Saracen nor Turk,
Out with your hl.:des, and tall on me to work :
FU give you battle! bear yourselves like men !
Cut all ! cut richly !—a cut and come again !"
The day being the anniversary of the ever-memo•
rable victory of Trafalgar, " The memory of that
glorious Knight, Sir Horatio Nelson," was drank with
appropriate solemnity.

Wednesday, at a Meeting of the Town Council of
Edinburgh, a letter was read from the City Cham-
berlain, stating, that for many years past hair powder
duty and other taxes had been pail by the town. for
its servants here, and for those in the Shore Dues Of-
fice, Leith, which it turned out wee not exigible.
He had discovered an Act of Parliament exempting
the gude town as a Corporate Body from such
charges. Upon representing the matter to the Com-
missioners of Taxes, they had admitted the town's
claim to exemption. The Collector, however, wishing
to have the matter settled by the highest authority,
had appealed to the Barons of Exchequer, who had
' confirmed the judgment of the Comaiiisioners. The
result was, not only that the town would be at no
expense in future on this account, but that it had a
claim for upwards of £5OO, thus overpaid, which
would no doubt be recovered.

In our first introduction to a person, there is no.
thing conveys to the mind a stronger impression than the Teeth.
A fine set of Teeth identifies health, cleanliness, and beauty; but
from yellow, black, or carious Teeth we turn with loathing and
disgust. Tu all who with to preserve or beautify the Teeth,
HUDSON and Co. recommend their BOTANIC TOOTH Pownea, as
a sure remedy and preventive for all Disorders of the Mouth: it
not only cleanses, whitens, and beautifies the Teeth, but pre.
serves theta from decay to the extremity of age. It fastens
Teeth That are loose, prevents the decayed rowing worse, re.
moves the tartar, and cures the Scurvy in the Gums, leaving
them firm, and of a healthy redness. It sweetens the breath, is
an antidote for gum-biles, swelled face, and the tooth-ache;
and the Proprietors warrant, that, if used regularly, a tooth will
never decay, and the tooth-ache will not be known; and though
so powerful an antiseptic, it is entirely (see from acid, and so in-

We have received this forenocin New York Papers
to the 11th ult. the contents of which are of more
than usual interest and importance.
The most prominent event is the conclusion of
an Armistice between the Royalists and Indepen-
dents in Mexico, which may ..be regarded as a cer-
tain prelude to the separation of that valuable Pro-
vince from the mother country. YTURBID!, the
Leader of the Revolutionists, assumes the title .of
" The Imperial Army of the Three Guarantees."—
What these are is thus explained in the Havannah
Papers :—" The three guarantees are—l st, That the
House of Bciurbon shall have the exclusive right of
filling the Imperial Throne of New Spain. 2d, That
there shall be perfect union between European and
American Spaniards, who shall be equally entitled
to fill all public offices. And, 3d, That the Eccle-
siastical establishment shall be again placid on the

footing on which it stood in the year 1808, with all
the rights and immunities it then enjoyed, without
any reform or amelioration, and preserving the
Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition in full vigour.
:
A more complete explanation of the views of the
Revolutionists will, however, be found in the scheme
of empire contained among the extracts which we
subjoin. Mexico is to be erected into an independent
Empire, the Throne of which is to be offered to FER•
DINAND of Spain; and in case of his declining it, to
the other Princes of the House of Spain, in their due
order of succession.

The same Papers furnish a formidable list of pira-
cies among the West India Islands; for some of the
more remarkable of which we refer our Readers to
our Nautical Intelligence. It is a reproach to our

Government that so many of the captures should be
British vessels. The merchantmen of the United States
have also been visited by these outlaws of the ocean.
—They have a Government, however, which feels
what is due to its own honour and to the rights of
its subjects. A convoy, consisting of two ships of
war, has been appointed to protect the American

trade from the Chesapeake to the West Indies and
the Gulf of Mexico.

We noticed, a few days since, the dispute between
Governor Jackson of Florida; and the late Spanish
Governor Callava. The National Inielltencer says,
" In an account of that transaction, published in the
Louisiana Advertiser, we find the following additional
particulars, which, are wholly unnoticed in the state-
inent copied from the Floridian." It appears from

this statement that Governor Jackson at Pensacola

possesses the same character that General Jackson
did at New Orleans. There the late Judge Hall is-
sued a Habeas Carps to take a man out of Jail ; but
instead of having the usual effect of such papers, it
threw his Honour into jail. And had not the rheuma-
tism very fortunately come to the relief ofJudge Fro-
mend% his Habeas Corpus would probably have
placed him alongside of Callava, unless there were
separate cells in the prison.

“ The documents, if surreptitiously withheld by
the Commissioners could not fail to produce incalcu-

fable mischief; and when we refer to the reluctant
transfer of the territory by Spain ; the loose manner
of transacting public business ; the management and
chicanery of public agents, it is not a great stretch of
imagination to suppose, that some object of gain and
speculation was concealed in this refusal to surrender
documents belonging to the ceded province. We are

too familiar with Spanish affairs to have much doubt
on this point. But as these documents were all Ge-
neral Jackson required, and which he may have been
Warranted to seize upon, why arrest and imprison
the Commissioner? This, we fear, cannot be ex-

plained. That courtesy so indispensable in civilized
communities; that respect due to the official cha-
racter of a public agent; the regard due to the
justice and reputation of the United States, have been
•iolated in this instance.
" A formal demand should hare been nude for these

documents, and if refused, measures should have
been adopted to prevent their being sent out of the
territory, but the person of the Li-Governor should
have been held sacred. His public functions had
ceased, but his private rights were in full force. Such
proceedings are only known in despotic Governments.
If, however, the imprisonment of Colonel Callava
can be justified, what defence is to be made for the
suspension of the wait of Habeas Corpus?.—an
in-
fraction of the very palladium of our liberties—an
act which General Jackson must be made to answer
for by the Government, or his administration will be
above all law and all restriction.

Weforbear for the present tb.say any thing furrher
on the subject. It will be examined by the compe-
tent Authorities. We can only observe, that every
act of violence and abuse of power is injurious to the
character, the feelings, and the true interests of a
free people."
By the subjoined Notice from the Navy Depart-
ment of the United States, it will be seen that the
Government have not been backward in granting
that protection to our West Indian commerce, which
appears best calculated to secure the property of our
merchants and others from the depredations of the
many pirates which infest the neighbouring seas.

The security with which commerce between the
United States and the West Indies and Gulf of
Mexico may be now prosecuted, will serve to reduce
the rates of insurance, and in a considerable degree
make up for the detention that may arise from wait-
ing for the sailing of the convoy.

" Navy Department, Sept. 20, 1620.

" Al vesseh bound to the West Indies and Gulf offrlexico,
that shall rendezvous by thel3th day of October next, In lati-
tude 37 degrees N. and ten leagues eastof Cape Henry, off the
Chesapeake Bay, may have the benefit of convoy of the United
States' ship Hornet and brig Spark."
Commodore Patterson, Naval Commander at New
Orleans, on hearing of the piracies committed on the
ship Orleans and brig Clarissa Ann, immediately
transmitted orders to Lieutenant James Ramsay, of
the schooner Porpoise, directing him to proceed
lin pursuit of the piratical vessels.
