MAY IT PLP.AtiE YOUR ROYAL HIGIINESS—I take
the liberty to beg your Royal Highness would have
the goodness to take in your consideration the un-
comfortable, and most unpleasant way in which I
travel. To be upon the carriage box h...s always been
to me the most disagreeable of all grievances : I have,
however, persevered to ride upon it without complain-
ing, to please and gratify your Royal Highness, and
in the hopes that when your Royal Highness's Bro-
thers should discontinue to make their servants tra-
vel in the same way, that your Royal Highness would
be pleased to follow their example. For this reason,
I now take the liberty to mention to your Royal
Highness, that his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales takes his servants with him in the carriage, or
sends them in a post-chaise. Thy Duke of Sussex
has followed the Prince's example, and his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, whenever his
Royal Highness cannot take his servant in the car-
riage, sends him by the stage, or in a post-chaise
(livery servants excepted). I most humbly intreat
your Royal Highness to discontinue a thing which
has preyed in my mind, and has hurt me more than
ten years hard labour could have done.
I have the honour to be, Your Royal Highness's most faith-
ful and devoted humble servant JOiiErli SLICES.
Exhibited to me May 31, 1810, J. READ.

MIDDLESEX—The Information of Frederick Cried, Valtt•ile•
chambre to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge:
Who, being upon his oath, saith, that he has lived
with his Royal Highness about 15 years, and has
known Sellis about nine years of the time ; that he
has frequently met him at Windsor, Brighton, Oat-
lands,
and other places ; but seldom saw him in Lon-
don. He was upon very good terms with him, but
not very intimate with him ; says that as far as he
knew of him, he was 'a very quiet, orderly, and sober
man. Informant further saith, that about twelve
months ago he was in company with Joseph Sellis
at Windsor, when he appeared dissatisfied at the
Duke of Cumberland, saying that he v khed to get
a Messenger's ;lace, and that if the Duke had spoken
a good word for him, he was site he could have got
one for him ; and that if he, Sellis, could get another
place in three moths, he would leave his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cumberland ; and that if he
was a single man, and had not a wife and family, he
would leave him directly ; and further said, that he
was upon ill terms with Neale, the other valet, and
that he was Sf) great a scoundrel, he could not bear
to live with him. Informant said to him, that it was
very hard for a person when he lost one place to rose
another, particularly as he was a foreigver, and lie
aAvised Sellis to consider of it. The conversation
then ended, and infOimiint has not heard him talk
in that way since. That the last time this informant
saw Sellis was on the 19th of this month, at Wind-
sor, but lie had no particular conversation with him
at that time; he complained of being ill, and said be
Shad laid in bed all Sunday. F. uttteEL.

GENERAL SAR RAZIM

[The motives fir this ():liter's quitting the French service, are
thus explained, in a letter purporting to be written with thecon.
cErrence of Ctneral Sariazio.]
" There are many causes which induced General
Sarrazin to quit the French service ; it is, lem ever,
only necessary to state one; In 170; the Ctater 11
was a prisoner in Englani, and was exdianged as a
General of Division against Major General Sir H.
Burrard, an Ensign, and live c LtiOni. Since his c.>:-
change, he has served in Germ-my, in Italy, at St.
Domingo, and on the coast of. France. He was Si e-
quently applied to in order tob.temployed as :t Gem ral
of Division, in execution of the terms of the Ca tel.
which is an act olGovernme:-.t, hat in vain. He lit- t ::1-
tered his resignation, but it was teluse 1. Ttveive ycars
after his exchange as a Lieuten.at General, he re-
mained a Major General, and held that raid; when he
quitted Boulogne to come to Engl Ind ; wi'i!e several
young men, who twelve years agt. wet e Lieutenants
and Captains, are now Generals of D:vision ; and, in
fact, Genet al Sarrazin was in the situat;oa beinit.
commanded by those very officers to whom he had
taught their exercise.
" With regard to what has been published by Ge-
neral Vandamme, General Sarrazin thinks that con-
tempt is the only answer that can be given to the ex-
travagant culogiums, or to the violent accusations of
1793, and that all nations, even the English nation,
care very little about him or General Vandamme ;
but when General Vandamme talks of the gratitude
which every Frenchman owes to Bonaparte for
the services he has rendered France, it may be
proper to observe, that General Vandamme has re•
ceived from him a lot tune of above XlO,OOO a year;
hut it is also true, that he pays most dearly for it, in
the. mortifications which he is constantly doomed to
suffer. 'Without adverting to his dismission, ncr to the
admonition which he received when his Aid-de-camp
WAS raising contributions in Austria, nor to the order
which he received to quit the house of the Mayor of
Boulogne in 24 hours, which he had taken possession
of by main force, nor to the refusal of Bonaparte to
alight at his house when he had prepared a magnifi-
cent repast for him at a great expence, although he
and his suit passed under his very windows in going
from Dunkirk to Lisle, and from Lisle to St. Omer' s.
" Without adverting to all these circumstances, it
is sufficient to recall to the recollection of General
Vandamnie; -the revicW of the 25th of May, and to
remind him of the terms negligent" and "
ig-
norant," which were then applied to him .by Bo-
' naparte. • General .tratichuume must particularly re-
collect that when he was defiling at the head of
his troops, he saluted Bonaparte with his sabre, and
that the latter turned his head from him with disdain,
without even looking at him. General Vandamme,
with all his wealth, must, with the -Writ lie possesses,
have at that Moment looked back with regret to the pe-
riod of 106, when%e was a common soldier; and ther:
Icanbeno doubt but that be would hail with ple.asur.
the restoration of the legitimate sOiere. ign Of France.'
