coati. In the afternoon they returned to the capital.
—The objea of this excurfinn, of which about 3000
troops had but a very Ikon notice, was merely an ex-
periment to determine in what time they could reach,
under an exigency, and in perfeft preparation, a
given point for attion. The refult was fatisfaeory.
When it was intended, in order to accuflom the
Troops to todden movements, to call out the Gar-

tention to the tranquility of the city, fent circular
notices to the commanding Officers of the feveral
Yeomanry Corps, to acquaint them that no alarm
of public danger, but merely a plan of exetcife, would

DUPL.—An urrrirtunate affair took place at Col-
chciter fail Wednefilay between two officers of the
3d W.. it Vrirk regiment, Meals. H. and W. ; the
latter • f whom WAS mortally wounded at the fiat
round, the ball penetrating his arm and one of the
lower ribs, and lodging iii the vertebrm of the bar.:.
The carafe originated in a Court of Inquiry, which
was held on a Lieutenant V. of the fame regiment,
agairitt whom Mr H. wls tailed to give evidence :
on leaving the Court the former accolled and abut--
ed him, laying that his es ider.ce Nice :of which
Ecndritt Mr. H. very, properly took ro other notice
than teporting it to the Court. A limn time after
this had happened, Lieuten.lnt \V. a friend of Lieut.
F. took great pains to propagate the report that Mr.
11. had ital.:red an intuit without relenting it ; ad.
ding, that however he might affront him, he fhould
not be afraid of bs Mg called out. This was reported to
Mr. li. by his friends, who ad•ifed him to call on
Lieutenant W. The confequence was, that they
fought—the latter fell, and the former, with hi.; fe-
cond, Captain C. have left the country.
Two new (loops, to be called the RAILLIVR and
A•swn t It, have, within there few days, been launch-
ed from the private dock yards in the river Thames ;
they will be fitted for fervice immediately.
