ABERDEEN, AUGUST 45.

The Pilot. CUMINE, is arrived at Newburgh, from
Montreal. The Confiance, GRAY, from Quebec ; the
Diana, BRITCE, and Fidelity, RUNCEY, from Montreal;
arrived in the hay some days ago, and have sailed to
the sluthward : as also the Alert, of Peterhead, from
Quebec, and Friends of Sunderland, from Miramichi.
On the 3d instant, were sent into Brassay Sound,
two Danich gun-boats, cut out of a port in Norway,
by his Majesty's ship BELVIDERE.

Extract of a letter to the Editors of the Baltimore
Amerieata, dated Aux Cayes, the 17th July, 1810 :
" I have the happiness to advise you of the entire
pacification of the insurrection of Jeremie. General
Rigaud hat, by his presence only, without firing a
single shot, restored tranquillity to that valuable part
of the cduntry. This agreeable news was received
this evening by a letter from the General himself to
Colonel Bejol." .

A report was current at Norfolk, on Wednesday
morning, that there were some British armed vessels
off the Capes ; and that the United States' frigates,
&c. lying in, Hampton Roadq, were to sail that day,
in order to prevent their entering our waters. It is
apprehended something serious will take place.
On Th'irsday last arrived at Baltimore the brig
Rising Sun, 24 days from Carthagena. The Master
informs us, that on the 18th of June a revolution took
place in Carthagena, and the Governor was sent off to
Havanna. The whole of the business was effected in
a few hours : the old Governor, who was formerly
dismissed by the Junta of Spain, was chosen by the
Revolutionists to head the present Government. The
Committee were sitting, forming new regulations ;
and the merchants had petitioned to have the duties
on imports reduced to 10 per cent. and those on ex-
ports taken instantly off.
Extract of a letter from New Orleans to a Gentle-
man in Alexandria, dated June 30:—" A report has
just reached town, and is very generally believed,
that the inhabitants of that part of West Florida,
comprising the settlement of Baton Rouge and Bayon
Sarah, have c.•me to a determination to declare them-
selves independent nn the 4th of July, and ask pro-
tection of the American Government."
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in the Mis-
sissippi Territory, dated June 25 :—" The inhabi-
tants of West Florida, as it respects Government,
are completely in a state of anarchy. From the situa-
tion
of political affairs in Old Spain, their system of
laws appears to be entirely disorganized, and without
that authority what is necessary to make them bind-
ing upon individuals ? The greatest number of the
inhabitants in this part •f the Spanish dominions are
Americans, who are extremely anxious to come un-
der the government of the United States. There are
so many partizans, and so much disorder in this coun-
try, that T expect there will shortly be a dissolution
of all government. All the French, except two or
three in office, received peremptory orders to leave
the dominions of his Catholic Majesty within three
days, or to prepare for the consequences. Several
other circumstances have lately transpired verging to
the same point."—Scioto Gazette.

CORY, jun. Esq. Churchwardens, and THOMAS SILA-
MAN, Esq. Chamberlain.

At Southampton Races on Monday and Tuesday
last, though the sport was not so excellent as last
year's, the assemblage of beauty and fashion was not
brilliant.

Egham Races finished yesterday, and the sports
have been the worst ever witnessed on that course.
The Handicap Plate yesterday was won by Guardy,
and for the two great races, the Cup and the Magna
Charta Stakes, the course was walked over by the
brother to Election, a horse low on the list of second
raters.

This morning, a little before three o'clock, a most
tremendous peal of thunder burst over the metropo-
lis,.and the concussion it produced in the atmosphere
continued for several minutes afterwards. The noise
.was the loudest we ever remember to have heard,
and resembled the discharge of several hundred pieces
of artillery at once. The thunder was preceded and
followed by an unusual quantity of rain, which de-
luged the streets of the metropolis for several hours.
A Cockney who had occasion to go a few miles
from London, very sagaciously exclaimed on his re-
return, " How is this ? Yesterday all the mile-stones
were on my /it, and now they are all on my right !"

Saturday the 11th inst. the first regiment of Inver-
ness-shire Local Militia, the Hon. Colonel Fit Aziat Of
Lovat commandant, was inspected by Nlajor-General
SCOTT. The regiment was new clothed, and the Ge-
•neral desired his approbation to be.communicated to
the whole line. The General, accompanied by Bri-
gade-Major M4LEari and all the Staff Officers in the
neighbourhood, afterwards dined with the regiment in
the Northern Meeting Rooms.

Friday se'nnight, being the seventh anniversary of
the regiment of Kircudbrtght Yeomanry, they assem-
bled in the Earl of SELKIRK'S park, at St. Mary's Isle,
when they presented their Commandant Lieutenant-
Colonel JAMES GORDON, of Culvennan, with a silver
epergne, of most exquisite workmanship and elegance,
JI value one hanuired and eighty guinea:. Major MIME, in
delivering the epergne to Colonel GORDON, addressed
him in a very energetic and patriotic speech, to which
the Colonel made a suitable reply. The corps after-
wards gave their Commandant an elegant dinner in
the town-hall, at which the Magistrates, and a num-
ber of gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood were
present.—The noble family at St. Mary's Isle, with
their usual polite attention to the regiment, sent them
a rich dessert of hot house fruit ; and the evening was
spent with the utmost conviviality.—The Colonel was
conducted home in the evening to his residence at
Greenlaw.house, in a carriage and four ; the horses
suitably decorated, and driven by two yeomen, es-
corted by a detachment of the corps.
The regret is great and general for the fate of
Lieutenant-Colonel Wm.sit, who was last week killed
at Guildford, by being thrown out of a gig. He was
a young man of the greatest promise in his profession,
and of the most amiable character, and he was on
the eve of marriage with an elegant and accomplished
lady in high life. Colonel WALSII was a native of
Ireland ; he went at a very early age to the West In-
dies, where he distinguished himself ; he served with
great credit in Egypt, and wrote a history of the
campaign in that country. He was much noticed by
Sir RALPH ABERCROMBIE and General HUTCHINSON.
In the unfortunate expedition to Walcheren, he was
Deputy Adjutant-GencraYof the Army. He lately
commanded a detachment of his regiment, the Pom-
padours, stationed at Farnham, from whence he had
rode the morning of his death. The remains of the
unfortunate Colonel were deposited in the Church of
Farnham, on Tuesday last.
An Inquest was held on Monday on the body of
Adam Gordon, a private in the Ist regiment of Life
Guards, who died on the preceding day of a wound
by a knife in the left side, which he received in a
quarrel with his wife on Friday last. The Jury being I
satisfied, as well from the dying declaration of the
man, as the evidence of a girl who happened to be in
the room when the quarrel took place, that the fatal
stroke was unintentional, brought in a verdict of—
Accidental Death.

Horse Guards, August 20.

At a General Court Martial held at Canterbury,
on the 16th of July, and continued by adjournment
to the 20th of the same month, William Clifford, a
private Soldier in the 7th Royal Veteran Battalion,
was arraigned on the undermentioned charges, viz.
u Charge.--For improper and unsuldierlike conduct, and be-
ing extremely riotous at the Marlborough Head Tavern, Sheer-
ness, on the afternoon of the ith July.

!d. For disobedience of orders on the same day, when ordered
by Lieutenant Martyn, of the said Royal Veteran Battalion, to
desist from his riotous behaviour at the Marlborough Head, and
go away to his quarters.

3d. For extremely mutinous behaviour to Lieutenant Martyn
on the same day, by not only using very gross and most disre-
spectful Language to him, but having repeatedly struck and kick-
ed him, when in the execution of his duty, by endeavouring to
secure the Prisoner for his disgraceful conduct.

Upon the above charges, the Court came to the
following decision, after having mutually weighed
and considered the whole of the evidence in support
of the prosecution, as well as what the prisoner ad-
vanced in his defence, it was of opinion that he was
guilty of the whole of the charges : the Court there-
fore sentenced him, Wiliam Clifford, to receive
1000 lashes, which sentence his MAJEsry has been
pleased to approve and confirm, and has commanded
that the sentence should he read at the head of every
regiment. (Signed) HARRY CALVERT,
Adj. Gen.
Horse Guards, August 6.

At a General Court Martial, held at Bengal, on the
14th December, 1809, and continued by adjournments
to the 30th of the same month, Captain William Grif-
fin, of the 14th regiment of foot, was arraigned upon
the undermentioned charges, viz.

" Ist, For scandalous and infamous behaviour, such as is un-
becoming the character of an Officer, in having on or about the
27th of October, 1809, suffered the most gross, abusive, and op-
probrious language to he applied to him by Lieutenant Dove, of
his Majesty's 14th regiment of foot, viz. poltroon and scoundrel,
(words subsequently avowed by that Officer), without taking such
measures as would have been appropriate to the vindication of
his (Captain Griffin's) insulted honour and character, and in fla-
grant breach of the rules of subordination, and military disci-
pline, prescribed by the Articles of War.
" 2d, For scandalous and infamous behaviour, such as is un-
becoming the character of a Gentleman, in having solemnly de-
nied in a letter under date the 28d ult. addressed to Lieutenant-
Colonel Watson, being at all conscious of the abusive, and un-
gentleman-like language imputed in the former charge, al-
though it is evident by a letter from Captain Griffin, addressed
to Lieutenant Dove, :we days after the affray above adverted to
happened, that he complains that such abusive, and ungentleman-
like language was applied to him by that Officer on the 27th of
October, and further in a conversation held with Captain Shea,
of the same corps, he fully admits that the terms poltroon and
scoundrel had been applied to him by Lieutenant Dove, aid even
worse."

The Court after maturely weighing and considering
