BRIOIITON, DECEMBER 21.

tisterday, the whole of the poor pop'ulatiOu 61 this
fowl) and neighbourhood were supplied wfth 'meat
and bread, according to the number of their families,
from the 'bounty of the PRINCIC RIMIEST, who was
desirous that every One s'•ould enjoy a good Chrtentau
dinner. A plan was observed in the distribution of
the liberal provision of his Royal Highness, that de•
serves particular notice. On the day preceding, every,
applicant was furnished with a ticket, specifying the
weight of meat and number of loaves. To prevent
confusion, the provisions were delivered in four parts
tithe town, under proper assistants ; and, in less
than three hours, more than 3000 persons were fur
oished with upwards of 95001b5. of excellent beef,
and 10,000 half quotient loaves. Tt was gratifying
so see the poor carry away their charitable donations
with such expressions of thankfulness and content.
went.—The Royal bounty was not limited to this
scounable relief, for his Royal Highness ordered that
a selection of the most numerous families should re-
ceive, this morning, an extra allowance of meat,
bread, vegetables, beer, and, in short, every super-
fluous article from the kitchen and larded of the PA.
,Ilion to be fairly distributed among them.

The Duke of YORK, yesterday morning, inspected
the First Regiment of Foot Guards, on the Parade in
St. James's Park. On this occasion the men appeared
in their new cloathing; his Royal Highness wore his
regimentals as Colonel, and looked uncommonly well.
His Royal Highness walked from his residence near
the Stable-yard, to the Parade, attended by one of
his Aid de Camps, and was cheered on his way by
the populace ; on appearing in the front of the line,
the *band immediately struck up the anthem of
" GOD save As King," during the playing of which,
many of Vit. spectators stood uncovered.
Saturdai the Grand Duke NICHOLAS, dressed in
the Russian military uniform, and en horseback, in-
spected the 6th Dragoon Guards, and the 92d Regi

Major-General Hon and the North British Staff.
The Prince' afterwards visited Heriot's Hospital, the

Noble Lady, during their residence at Dun keld.
The Honourable WILLIAM MAULE, ever since
country work became scarce, has made it a rule to
employ an additional number of hands ; and, at
petent, the improvements he is making about his
fiat old seat of .Panmure are giving bread to many
tstoilies. But his well directed exertions do not stop
it this point ; for, aware of the increased importance

The statement published in some of the papers,
relative to a Meeting at Chester for the relief of the

ELEBIOTION "op THE EMPEROR Ara.
ANDER'S BIRTH-DAY.

eed Tuesday night. tfte Comnianders add Officert,
Id his imperial Majesty's Russian ithipi the Mercury..
Ind Philadelphia give 8 iptendid ball and supper on
board the Mercury, lying if Woolwich, in comme-
moration of the Birth' or the Emperor ALeXANDeR,
whu was born on the 14th of December, 1777, (old,
-sryle) The invitation was in thefollowing terms: ,
Commanders and (lacers of Its Imperial Russian Ma.
jesty's ships Mercury aid Philadelphia request the honour of
company to a ball oa board the Mercury at seven, on
Zseiday the t gib, old style Xll4th new style) Instant." •

The invitations were not confined to the military
and naval characters, but were sent to most of the
distinguished persons in Woolwich and its environs;
and the liveliest interest was excited amongst the in.
habitants of Woolwich, particularly the female part
of them.

In order to give an idea of the manner in which
the vessel was converted into a place of splendid
amusement, we must select each apartment t •
Tnx Suerze-noost.—The Supper IN/OM was in the
Captain's cabin and main-deck. The tables were in
the form of the letter H. and were decorated with
vases indicative of naval and military honours—
around it were hung wieatlis of laurel, olive branches,
Sec.; pine apples, and evs*y description of fruit that
could be procured, were to be seen in great profu-
siou. The supper consisted of chickens, tongues,
hams, wild-fowl, jellies, blahch-mange,.&c.
THZ BALL-ROOH.—The Ball-room was placed upon
she quarter-deck: it was eighty-nine feet in length ;
at she top was an elegantly-executed transparency,
representing -Fame crowning the Prince Regent of
England and the Emperor of Russia ; opposite to
them were the arms of each nation, supported by a
lion and an imperial eagle. Emblematical figures of
Peace, Plenty, and Concord, and the triangle of unity.
Underneath the initials ot. the Prince Regent was a
scroll, upon which was written,
" The Prince and Old England for ever!"
And under those of Alexander, the following lines
from Shakspeare, though taken out of their metrical
form :
" May be live as long as I have time to tell his years. and when
Old time shill lead him to his end, Goodness and he ea up one
monument!"
The Eye of Providence was placed at the top of the
transparency, and other symbolic representations ren- '
dered the exhibition a complete picture and a ehef
d'auvre of the artist.

On either side were six transparent pedestals richly
illuminated, upon which were the initials of the Im-
perial family of the Emperor. The letters were—

M. E. K. N. M. C.
and they represrnted

M. A. W. F. C. A.

Mark, bowiger Emprebs
Emma Elizabeth

Grand Duchess Marie
Grand Duchess Ann

Grind Duke Constantine I William, Prince of Orange
Grind Duke Nicholas Frederick, King of Wutem-
Grand Duke Michael berg
Grand Duchess Consiaud Ine Charles, Prince of Weimar.

The deck was elegantly chalked, as the Officers
were willing to attend to English fashions in every
principle; but on the artist proposing to chalk the
Russian arms on the floor, they thought the indignity
so great to tread upon the arms of their country, that
they rejected it with horror; it was accordingly or-
dered to be chalked in a diversified manner. The
sides of the room were decorated with laurels, &c.l
At the bottom was a place inclosed for the bands, or
namented with scarlet cloth, and richly illuminated.
Tux STATIS CABlN.....Nearly in the centre was a
platform, upon which was placed the bust of the Em-
peror Alexander: it was surrounded by laurels,
1 wreaths, and trophies, and behind it were likenesses
of the Emperor and Empress. The laurels, &c.
around the bus: of Alexander represented an arbour;
' round his head was a wreath entwined. There were,
besides these rooms, several others of a minor consi-
deratiun, set apart for tea, coffee, lemonade, orgeot,
&c.

At eight o'clock, the company began to arrive in
boats from the shore ; and, Although the night was
tempestuous, and the water rough, the ladies were
not in the remotest degree dismayed.
At the approach of every boat a trumpet was
sounded, in the true ancient baronial manner, and
the Captain ( KATCHALOFE) ushered • the company
into the ball-room. Dancing was commenced at half.
past tight o'clock, led off by Captain KATCHALOFF
and a lady whose name we could not obtain.
The double sound of a trumpet announced the ar-
rival of the patriot FRANCIS, who fought so gloriously
in our cause in America. He was dressed in a most
splendid suit of red and gold, and by his side he wore
a tomahawk, mounted in golJ, presented to him by
the PRINCE REGIINT. He seemed much delighted
with the appearance of the frigate.
The High Priest, who is a most reverential-looking
person, walked up and down the ball-room, and
shook hands with many of the nobility: he is a most
zealous devotee, and at intervals be retired to his ca-
bin : he performed all the cremonies of their religion
in the morning to the whole of the crew—it was so-
lemn and impi essivr.
By ten o'clikk not less than 200 persons were trip-
ping it on ‘f the light fantastic we," accompanied el-'
ternately by the Russian and Royal Artillery bands.
At one o'clock yesterday morning, the company
were summoned to supper between decks, where every
delicacy the season could afford was provided, upon
massy plate belonging to the frigate. The apart-
mentsb however, were found to be too confined for
the company, a7nd many gentlemen were under the
necessity •of eatir_ig their supper standing. During
supper, Captain KATCHALO7/1
gave—
"'l•hr Emperor Alexaoder."—" Tbe Prince agent. —" The
Crand Duke Nicholas."--Atid, dually," the Ladies:.
All of which were drank in bumpers of claret.
One of the Officers then proposed the health of the
Guatlemen who honoured them with their company, ,
and one of the Commissioners of the Royal Dock-I
yard returned thanks tor the obligation.
After supper waltzing and dancing were recotb.
ntenced with additional vigour. Part of the company,
however, retired tb the state cabin, _and made liberal
libations at the shrine of Bacchus. At fife o'clock
darning ceased, and the company began to separate;
not, however, before the band sang a gatiotial anthem,
which was encored by the company. It was nearly
sit o'clock before the whole of the company had se-
parated. Thu Russian Consul amused himself dur-
ing the evening by playing sit cards.
The frigate mounts 48 buns, and has on board
-ad men, who are *ell disciplined both bramble'
kr.d military tactics.

HORSE-GUARDS, DECEMBER z.
At i General Court Martial held at Gibr.iltar, on
the Sd of Jul, 1816, and t ontinued by adjourn-
ments to the 13th or the lame Month, Surgeon Taw-
MAB MOOR', M.I). of the 11th Regiment of root,
was tried upon the following charges, viz.:
" Ist. For disobedience of a Regimental Order, baring /ire
the 14th or !tine 1816, sod il preventing the Afist3flt Sur-
geons of the Regiment complying with the same, by directing
them to refer to him whenever they were required to comply
With it, thereby taking open himself the stile responsibility' of
diet/Orrin' dun Order, and preventing its being carried into effect
by them, and for virteal:y setting the Order of his Commanding
Officer at defiance, hi an offic'al correspondence which took place
in consequence, and persiatieg in his disobedience to the preju-
dice of the service, good ohler, and military discipline, and con-
trary to the Articles of War.
" 2. For disobedience of °Niers in not sending In the daily
Sick Report of men of the 11th Regiment in liospita. before
ten o'clock on the aiorniq of the Rich lone, 1816, ani when
galled by letter to assign a came for such disobedience, having
caused an evasive letter to be written by the Assistant-Surgebn
Dix, stating, tint the Report was withheld hi conserence of
the Orderly• Corporal who had be n in the habit of carrying it
to the Orderly-Room having been removed, though at the same
tine he transmitted a letter to his Commanding Officer early
enough to he laid before him on that morning, with the Daily
Reports of the Regiment, and by which continence the Daily
bit* Report mista have been forwarded; such evasion being
unbecoming the conduct of au Officer; the mode of c itiveying
the evasive reply a vitiation of the respect due to Cemmand,
highly Insubordinate and prejudicial to the 'service, and contrary
to the Articles of War."

Upon which charges the Court came to the follow-
ing decision :
" The Court having maturely Weighed and con-
sidered all the•circumstancer of the case, as well on
the part of the Prosecution as on that of the Prisoner,
is of opinion as to the first charge, that the Prisoner
Surgeon 'Fromm Moone, M.D. is Guilty : as to the
second charge, that the Prisoner, Surgeon THOMAS
Mobas, M.D. is Guilty of so much thereof as states
for disobedience of Orders in not sending in the
Daily Report r.r the men of the 11th Regiment, in
Hospital, before ten o'clock on the morning of the
25th of June, 1816; and further, that the mode of
conveying the reply to his Commanding-Officer was
a violation of the respect due to Command, and pre..
judicial to the service; but with regard to the re.
maindcr of the charge as stated, the Court is of opi-
nion, that the Prisoner, Surgeon THOMAS Moons,
M.D. is Not Guilty.'
The Court having thus found the Prisoner guilty
of the whole of the first charge, and so much of the
second charge as is above stated, the sentence of the
Court is, and the Court does hereby adjudge, that
the Prisoner, Surgeon TrioAtas MOORE, M.D. of the
11th Regiment of Foot, shall lose two years of his
rank in the Army, and shall (rather be most severely
and publicly reprimanded for his conduct, in such
manner as to his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor
of Gibraltar shall seem fit."

Which sentence appears to have been approved by
General DoN, commanding at Gibraltar..
His Royal Highness the CoWiIANDItII:IIC-Cillier di-
t.eci,s, that the foregoing charges preferred against
Surgeon Toosms Moons:, M.D. of the 11th Regi-

Book, and read at the head of every Regiment in
