" FUNERAL SERVICE OF NAPOLEON.

e 4 Whilst ungenerous enemies insult the manes of Napoleon is
his ancient Capital, and in view cf the monuments of Austerlitz
and Jena they dare endeavour to dint the lustre of his gkay, a
great number of respectable citizens of this city propose to cde.
loam, by a solemn Service, the memory of the greatest of mcs
When Franklin died he was praised by hllrabcau in an do.
quent discourse, and the National Assembly put on mounieg
fot three days. The death of Washington was also honoured by
-the regrets of France, then governed by Napoleon, and his funeral
oration was pronounced by one of her greatest orators. birches
natural that the fellow-citizens of Franklin and Washingtea
should, in their turn, render to the heroes of France the beaten
which France paid to their illustrious compatriots.
" All persons disposed to honour unfortunate courage, and is
render homage to genius, Frer.ch or American, are thaefore
requested to meet to-morrow, at five o'clock in the ;Ammer,
in the Hall of Orleans, to consult no the means of giving ti this
funeral ceremony all the solenniky which the &rating o: the
subject requires."

Prom the Gazette of last night, k will be seen**
the appointments which we formerly announced
have taken place. The Matquio WELLESLEY Eli
proceed immediately to Ireland with Mr. Comm
where preparations are making for their reception.
Parliament is farther prorogued to the sth of Feb*
ary, when it will meet for the dispatch of business.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Duke of YORK re-
ceived a visit from the Princess SOPHIA ; afterwards
his Royal Highness went to the Horse Guards, and
held a Levee, which was attended by General Motx•
Nam General Dottouss, and a number of (Aljers.
His Royal Highness left his Office at six o'clock,and
returned toYork House.

It is said that the Clerks in the Public Offices are
not in future to succeed according to seniority, but
that their advancement will be regulated by a Mini-
sterial sense of their claim to promotion.
A few evenings since, as the Rev. Dr. Vail's., the
respected Head-Master of the Reading Grammar
School, was crossing the Porbury, he lost his footing,
owing to the darkness of the night, and stepped into
*a deep ditch which runs along the road side: afar
calling in vain for some time for assistance, he at
length, by a violent effort, extricated himself, ant!,
we are happy to learn, sustained no injury beyond a
few trifling bruises.
At a Meeting of the Literary and Philosophical
Society of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, held on the 4th imt.
a letter was read from Truisms COATES, Esq. stating
some curious particulars respecting the disinterment
of the mummy, and correcting a mistake which I:ad
crept into the papers, of its having been taken out of
the Royal tomb, at Thebes. In the course of thir
communication, which was a very interesting one,
Mr. COATES pointed out several particulars in regard
to the size and configuration of the skeletons food
in those ancient sepulchres, which would seem to
dicate the Egyptians to have been a people of India,
not of Ethiopian, origin, as has been alleged by some
late writers. In die course of the evening Dr. Cissai,
of Sunderland, presented to the Society the origiol
safety-lamp, with which he made his experiments lo
the coal mines.—Newcastle chronicle.
Advices from Valparaiso, to the 20th of hugest,

The murderous attack made on Captain WATIERS
of the 59th Regiment, near Newmarket, has already
been stated in the Star. The following are more

authentic particulars of this outrage:
At about three-quarters past four o'clock, just as
Captain WATERS and family' were going to dinner,
the cottage he lives in was surrounded by a party of
fellows wearing white bands round their hats. On
being informed of this by Mrs. WATERS, who ran to
him with the intelligence ;Cape. WArsas hastened to
secure the front door, but was stopped at the parlour
door, by four of the ruffians, armed with cavalry
pistols, one of whom remained at the dour, while the
other three went up to him, presented a pistol, and
demanded his gun or his life. Captain %%Payees in.
formed them that he had been long since plundered
of his gun, with other arms, ammunition, &c. and had
not got any since. They replied.he had, and he then
told them they might search, upon which they swore
they would shoot him, when a leader advanced and
levelled his pistol at Capt. Warms' head, and also at
Mrs. WATERS, who had thrown her arms round hi;
neck. Captain WATERS seized the pistol with hi.left
hand, near the muzzle, and succeeded in lowering it,
but not sufficiently to point it clear of his own per-
son, as, on the villains firing, the contents (slugs) en-
tered his left side, between the ribs and hip, and also
wounded him in the hand. They then departed, and
on the same night visited Mr. O'KEErvz, of Mount-
Keeffe, where they said they had left Capt. WATERS
for dead. Thence they proceeded to Capt. Cue RAN'S,
as we before mentioned, at • whom, the instant he
opened his door, they snapped a pistol twice, but it
missei fire, when the fellow deliberately cleared out
his pan and put in fresh priming, but did not perse-
vere in his horrible intent. We are extremely grati-
fied in being enabled to state that Captain WATRRS,
although very dangerously and severely wounded, is
considered by his physicians out of danger, and they
hope will be soon able to go out.—Cork Intelligencer.
The report of the mansion of Captain Waws, of
Drisahne Castle having been attacked, is unfounded.
This Gentleman is very active in suppressing the din-
turbances, and scarcely a night passes that either he
or his brother GEORGE WALLts, Esq. accompanied
by a large party of their own tenantry, mounted and
armed, do not patrol the neighbourhood of Mill-
street, by which means they have, in a great measure,
put a stop to the visits of those nocturnal marauders,
who infest the neighbouring Barony. Capt. WALLIS
has also made an offer to Government (if disturbances
continue), to raise and mount, at his own expense, a'
corps of thirty men.—lbid.
EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.
About the hour of twelve, on the night of last
Tuesday, a large party pf the peasantry, well armed,
and consisting of more than 200 persons, went to the
farm of Inch, which is situate between Ballingarry
and Charleville, and in a short time destroyed a va-
luable orchar/ They felled 114 apple trees, 16 ash
trees, and one elm tree. But devastation alone was
not the object of the banditti, as they had brought
with them about 100 horses and cars, for the purpose
of removing the spoil. They partly effected their
design, as they removed some of the timber from the
premi,ei, shouting in triumph, and firing guns, as if
in defiance of the civil or military power. The letter
which has communicated this intelligence adds, that
there is s report in the neighbourhood that the pea-
santry are determined not to leave a tree standing in
that part of the country. The farm of Inch is part
of the estate of JOHN MASON, Esq. and as informa-
tion was quickly given by his sons to Major Wm-
coots, of the perpetration of the outrage, some hopes
were entertained that he would be able to discover
some of the offender-.—Dublin Correspondent, Dec. 8.
OUTRAGES IN MEATH.
Some nights back, the house of the Rev. RALPH
DILLON, of Taragh, was assailed by an armed ban-
ditti. They knocked and rang at his hall door; they
fired without effect, and broke some of the windows
with stones. The tire was returned from the house,
but it is not ascertained whether any of the party were
wounded, the night being very dark.
The following night, three horses of Mr. LANGAN,
miller, near Ardcath, were stabbed to death under his
drays, going to Dublin market with flour ; the of-'
fence, his having employed three labourers from the
County of Leitrim to dig potatoes.—Dublin Patriot.

• dOtrilT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 11.
ALLAsoN V. RUSS. •
Mr. DENMAN introduced the parties in this care to
the Jury, as respectable tradesmen. The plaintiff is a
stationer, residing in Bond-street, and the defendant,
a baker, occupying a house nearly op ()site to the
plaintiff's. Mi. Martin, of the house of Rodwell and
Martin, having received from Scotland a present of
grouse, he sent
.a pair of them as a present to Mr.
Allason, and he, willing to shew his friendly disposi-
tion to the defendant, gave the grouse to his servant,
and desired that he should take them over to Mr.
Diier. It seemed, however, that they were not so
sweet as that Gentleman determined they might have
been, and he pretended to fancy that they were. sent
for the purpOse of insulting him. Without remon-
strance, and without complaint, he proceeded to the
plaintiff's house, and inflicted upon him a very Severe.
chastisement. His Learned and very eloquent Friend,
Mr. Charles Phillips, who was for the defendant,
might attempt by his brilliancy to dazzle their un-
derstanding, or by his humour to laugh the case out
of Court, but he trusted that his client should obtain
adequate compensation in damages, for this very
severe and unprovoked insult.
Mr. John Martin sent some grouse to the plaintiff
in August last, and eat some of those which were
sent to him at the same time. they were very good.
Cross.exemined by Mr. Pnicstr&—How many brace did you
receive from the North, Jr. Martin ?—Six, Sir.
How many brace did you eat, Mr. Martin?—One brace.
Did you examine the rest, Sir ?—Not particularly, I saw them.
Upon your oath, in what state were they?—They were high.
Did you happen to see the box in which these grouse were
conveyed to town ?—Yes.
In what state was that box, pray tell us, Mr. Martin ?—lt was
flied with small maggots.
Joseph Baker said, that he had taken a brace of
grouse front Mr. Martin's to the plaintiff's house, on
the '24th of August. The plaintiff had not seen them,
hut desired witness to take them over to Duer, with
his respects. Witness gave them to Duer's son, who
called his father out of a room, and he said, that he
was sorry he could not send his respects back to Mr.
Allason; did he mean to insult him? Witness then
went over to Mr. Allason, and told him what occurred.,
Crass.erantined.—What are you, Sir ?—I am apprentice est
Mr. Album.
Did you perceive any peculiar smell about the game?—Thar
were high. I smelt them while carrying them over.
That was in the open air ?—Y“.
Did you see anything about them 7-1 saw some maggots
about them.
What would you have taken to have made your dinner on
one of them?
The Cuter Jusuce.—He would have taken a
grouse, Mr. Phillips!
Mr, PHILLIPS...I am afraid, my Lord, he would
have taken something more.
Where was Mr. Duet, was be not at dinner when you brought
him these valuable excitements ?—1 don't know.
Was he in habits of strict intimacy with your master ?—I
believe not.
Will you venture to swear, that you have seen him dine at
your master's house for the last two years ?—I cannot.
Henry Wiz was passing down Bond-street, on the
24th of August, and on coming up near Duer's shop,
he saw him with grouse in his hand, standing near
the butcher's shop. He had a horsewhip in his hand,
and witness heard him say, that he would horsewhip
Allason, though it should cost him one hundred
pounds. He then returned to his own shop. the
plaintiff was there, and Duer went into an adjoining
room, took up a horsewhip, and proceeded to beat
the plaintiff about the legs until he broke the handle.
It was a huntsman's whip, with the lash twisted round
the handle. He retired to the room, put down the
grouse, came out again and again, and several times
he struck the plaintiff.
Crors-examuted.—Where do you live, boy ?—With a dress-
maker.
I believe Mr. Allison's brother resides also at the dress-
maker's?—Yes.
Mr. Duer was exceedinglrangry ?—He was.
There were other persons in the shop, grown up people ?—Yes.
Quite as capable of giving an account of this transaction as
yourself ?—Yes.
All this time quiet Mr. Allmon never stirred or said any-
thing ?—No.
Waited patiently to be beat a second time ?—He did.
1 Richard Young, who was passing through the
street at this time, confirmed, the account given by
the last witness.
Mr. DENMAN said, that this was his case.
Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS proceeded to address the
Jury on the part of the defendant. He said that his
Learned Friend, Mr. Denman, had certainly deceived
himself in supposing that, on this occasion, even had
he the ability, he should feel inclined to occupy any
portion of their attention upon a case which, even on
the plaintiff's own chewing, rested upon so feeble a
foundation. It was not a case for an eloquent or an
idle display, but it was a case for impartial and dis-
pasionate consideration ; and now that the Jury had
heard Mr. Denman's statement, and heard too the
sort of evidence by which that statement was sought
to be sustained, he would fearlessly and confidently
ask them, was this a deliberate assault upon the part
of the defendant? Had he sought for an opportu-
nity of committing it as Mr.Denman had told them?
—Had it taken place, as was stated by his Learned
Friend, in the plaintiff's own house, beneath the sanc-
tuary of his roof? If it had, it was a wanton, an
unprovoked, and a deliberate assault—the defend-
ant deserved to be punished, and their verdict would
visit him with a merited infliction. They must see,
even upon the plaintiff's own evidence, how the case
really stood. Two persons, not in habits of intimacy,
not on visiting terms, as they heard from the plain-
tiff's own apprentice, who never remembered to have
seen Mr. Duer inside his master's shop for the last
two years, and one of these persons, under such cir-
cumstances, sends a brace of grouse to that man into
whose house he was not in the habit of entering !
• New for what earthly purpose but that of insult
could the plaintiff have sent grouse in such a state as
these undoubtedly and undeniably were, but for the
purpose of insulting the man to whom they were sent?
It was a strange act of civility. The grouse were
sent to him—v.l4e he was at dinner they arrived—
the present and the name of the donor were an-
nounced by his son—he heard it with surprise—he
left his dinner, for which he bad' but little appetite
' after he had received the grouse—(Afasigh)— he
entered his shop, for be was a poor baker, and from
the smell he imagined that his bread must have sud-
denly and miraculously putrified—(Load itssigliter).l
The grouse, Gentlemen, continued the Learned Conn-
, selscame from Scotland,whiali was pretty clear evidence
sthey were not worth keeping there—(Lead laughing).
' The very hungriest of Ida leldesmen, Gentlemen,

could not collect conrige enough tc, zppzonch them
and I believe they would have actual's- walked back
to Scotland, had there been any urecedent nr such a
jenarney.—(Mr. Phillips was here itite:tupted b) the
general laughte, which thi. pa' 1 of his :ipeech ex-
cited.)—The very leg of the grouse came off in his
hand the moment he touched it, and he then ad-
dressed the plaintiff's apprentice, who wa; the bearer
of this delicious cargo) inthe language wHcit he had
mentioned that day, He shewed those gri:use to
some of the neighbours, and after expatiating with
great indignation on the insult thus tauselessly and
deliberately offered to him, he returned to his own
shop, and there he found, for the first time during
two years, the plaintiff, Mr. Allason. It was said by
the witness Baker, that the plaintiff could not have
been informed of the state of the game. because be
took them from the plaintiff's house to the defend-
ant's without his having even an opportunity of
seeing them. But the very first address of the plain-
tiff to Mr. Doer proved beyond the shadow of doubt
that he must have been acquainted with the state of
the birds, for the defendant on return expostulated
with him upon the insult, and his re) ly, deliberately
wiping his face at the same moment, was, " I heard
that you were fond of high game." The defendant
then did what I admit he ought not to have done;
he seized a whip, which was literally used, Gentle+
men, for the purpose of occasionally flogging a Tom
Cat, and he gave the plaintiff a few blows across
the legs!—(Laughter). The poor cat, I believe, was
enticed on that occasion by the smell of the krousep
and underwent a similar punishment—(Laugliter).—,
Now, Gentlemen, the question is, under such circum-
stances, what damages do you think the plaintiff de.
serves? Shall it be tolerated that a man is to be pro•
yoked into outrage by insult, in order that the insult
may prove a profitable speculation ? Perhaps it will
be submitted to you, that this Gentleman ought to
have exhibited a model of perfection. But, Gentle-
men, we must take humanity as it is, with all its
moral and physical imperfections, and I trust that
your 'verdict will sot arraign PROVIDENCE, who has
planted in the hearts of men a feeling that cannot 51-
lently suffer under deliberate insults. You will visit
with very moderate damages, I am persuaded, this
trifling, and certainly provoked, though not justi•
fiable aggression.
Samuel Duer was the first witness called for the
defendant; he proved that he received the grouse at
:a time when his father was at dinner; he told hit
father that Mr. Allason had „sent him a brace of
grouse, which he shewed to his father; they were full
of maggots.
Other witnesses spoke to the same effect.
The CHIEF JIISTICZ summed up the evidence, and
the Jury found a verdict for plaintiff—Damages, £25.
