The

.ran &trews Is etluallv celebrated In the Traditions and
Songs of the Bordei and the East Coast of Scotland. The at-
chlevements of MONT mist seem to bare been the subject of
this once popular Song, of which it seems now intiosable to
procure a sonnet copy; but the following Verses axe selected
from the best.correeted set that could be found.
To wear the blue, I think it best,
Of a' the colours that I sees •:.'
And it wear it for the galLtat
Now banish'd fru their ale enuntrle.
111 crown them east-111 crown then% west,
The bravest lads that ere I law
They bore the gree in free ighting,
And ne'er were slack their swords to draw f.
They wan the day wi' WALLACE wight—
They were the lords o' the South Countrie:
Cheer up your hearts, brave Cavaliers,
Till the gallant Gammas conic o'er the sea!
At the O•wk.hesd, *here their camp was set;
They rade tke white Moe and the grey,
A' glancing in their plated armour,
As the gowd shines on a summer's day.
But was to HACILET and STtACNAN baith I
And eater an ill death may they die!
For they betray'd the gallant GIUSI4/0.
That ay were true to Majesty.
Now fare ye weel, sweet Ennerdalel,
Baith kith and kin that I could name:
0! I would sell my silken snood
To see the gallant Guam. come lame !
The elder Gamut, who led the unconquered clans of Scotland
against the Romans and provincial Britons, is ikus celebrated

THE ARMY.
Part of the Louth, Leitrim, Clare, and Mayo Re. I
ments of Militia have arrived from Ireland at Spit-
head. They were dispersed in the late dreadful gales,
and some anxiety is entertained for their late.
It it still expected that the Hussar brigade go out
soon, and it is hoped by the army that they will have
the advantage of the great talents, as a cavalry officer,
of Lord PAGET, in Portugal.
General &sea and Baron DICKINSSS fine regiments,
the lit and 2d Heavy Dragoons of the German Le-
gion, with part of t‘te Hussar Regiment of the Duke
of BRUNSWICK OEL'S corps, it is said, go immediately
to Lord WELLING-I.ov.

By the excellent and judicious measnre of an inter-
change of the Militia, the following regiments of the
line, among others, complete in number and in the
highest state of discipline, will be immediately em-
barked for Portugal, or any other quarter where their
services are wanted :—The sth Infantry ; 6th ditto,
Sir GIORGI 'NUGENT'S ; 20th ditto, Sir J. STUART'S

(the Hero of Maida) ; 37th ditto; 38th ditto; and
76th, or Hindoostan ; besides some part of the Duke
of BnuNswices corps.
We hear that the 9.,1 Battalions of the Fuzileer Bri-
gade, the Cameronians, Connaught Rangers, Gordon
Highlanders, Edinburgh Regiment, and the 84th,
are recruiting so fast that they will soon be ready for
service again.
Two troops of Sir W. DitEADOWS% regiment, the
7th Dragoon Guards, have marched into Portsmouth

and its neighbourhood ; the remainder of the regiment
is at Chichester. Sir WILLIAM is expected down to
see them before these fine fellows embark. Those
gallant Officers, Colonel NAPIER of the 50th, and
Colonel ACHESON and Major BROOKE of the 48th,
have landed at Portsmouth. Major BROOKE made
his escape Troth Seville, whither he was carried pri-
soner after the battle of Albuera, when he command-
ed the gallant and ever memorable 48th :—in this
sanguinary conflict the Major was covered with
wounds, and had 4.0 of his Officers killed and wound-
ed. The Buffs, it will be remembered, distinguished
themselves, likewise, in this action.
We are happy to find that the statement in the
STAR of the 16th Inst. that Major-General CAMERON
(Colonel of the 79th Regiment, or Cameron High-
landers) was dangerously ill, was incorrect. The fact
is, that gallant officer has been obliged to return lately
from the theatre of war in Spain and Portugal, owing
to a great weakness in his limbs, occasioned by severe
fatigue, and long service in the field, but from which
he is now recovering. His recovery has bees much
retarded by the severe affliction lie labours under for
the irreparable loss of Lieutenant-Colonel CAMERON,
his son, (and constant companion in arms in every
clime throughout the last and present war) who was
mortally wounded in a distinguished charge at the
head of his faithful Highlanders, by whom he was
adored, in his gallant and judicious defence of Fuen-
tes de Honor, where he commanded, on the sth of
May. It will be recollected that the place was suc-
cessfully defended against the repeated efforts of Mas-
sena, and the flower of the French army, including
the Imperial Guards, who in vain attempted to
carry that village, as the key to Almeitia.—Gene-
ral CAMERON lost another son (his Aid-de-Camp),
within the last twelve months in Portugal, which, of
course, must have added greatly to his domestic afflic-
tions. The death of the above gallant Officers was
much regretted by Lord WELLINGTON, and the whole
Staff of his army, as a public loss to the service. We
think it but justice to mention these circumstances as
a tribute to the memory of two valuable and gallant
Officers, cut • ff in the prime of life, and zealous ca-
-1 rear of their protessip.

We have received New-York and other American
Papers to the Stith of August, from which we have
made a variety of extracts. The intelligence from
South America is of an interesting nature. The above
Papers also contain an article, purporting to be the
copy of a Treaty -sent out to France with Joni. Bans
Low. It stipulatest among other things, the exclusion
of British commerce from the ports of America, until.
England has recognized the principles of the Berlin
Decree ; and that in the event of her making war on
America, that both nations shall make common
Cause. It would be idle to bestow any attention upon
this pretended Treaty, as it is admitted almost in
Iterms by most of the Papers which have ccpied it, to
be a fabrication. The American ports continue to be
receptacles for French privateers and tkeir clTtlires.
The British vessel Tottenham has been talccn by a
French privateer off Barbadoes, and carried int ) New
York. Private accounts speak confidently of an em.
' berg°, and most of tlit ;ett...rs an madvert on th• con,
tinned partiality o 1 the PRESIDENT to the cause of
France, and express fears of a speedy rupture nith
Ibis country.

HOAX AT THE QUEEN'S PALACE.—On Saturday
'Mother poor woman, who had left her work at a con-
• siderable distance, went to the Queen's Palace, being
engaged as a washerwoman there. The wretch who
still goes about deceiving this hard-working class of
women, now assumes the name of Croft ; and direc-
ted this woman, if she found any difficulty in disco-
vering the Queen's laundry, to enquire for her at the
laundry of Mrs. Crow, who keeps 'eat milk-house at
the Stable yard Gate, who knew her well, she having
stood god-mother to her children. It is needless to
add, however, that it. was a gross fabrication.
BoxEns.—Cribb arrived in town yesterday, in a
barouche and four, bestrewed with blue ribbons, with
• a Gentleman amateur and Joe Ward, one of his se-
conds, and his reception on the road was as great as
that of a gallant Officer bearing a narrative of any.,
glorious exploit against a foreign enem y. St. Andrew's.
street, Seven Dials, was impassable from the crowd,
and the interior of the Champion's house was not suf-
ficient to give audience to the congratulating amateurs;
but in the hall of his-house, which is a coat-deed, they
were received in turn, without respect to superior
rank. He has suffered most about the eyes, which
are very black, and has cut his hand severely by
hits, but he is -altogether well. • He, called on Moli-.
neaux, at the Royal Oak, where he is still confined;:
but is slowly recovering. He has suffered most on the'
left side of his body, which is hideously swollen, and.
• the right side of his head, from the neck upwards
and his jam is fractured in two places.
Lieutenant Pettecvar., of the sth West India Re.l
girnent, lateiy met with his death at Fort Augusta
Barrncks, Jamaica, in the following singular manner::
while going into his bed-room, be fell through ex,
Creme weakness, and his head striking on a bottle
which stood on the floor, and was broken by the falk
cut him so dreadfully about the temples, as to render
all the efforts of the regimental surgeons to stanch the
blood ineffectual. He died in a few minutes after the
-accident without a groan.
. • A violent thunder storm occurred in the neighbour.:
• ...hood of Norwich on Saturday se'nnight, during which
•a ball of fire fell upon the barn of Mrs. Rackham, at
Buxton, which consumed the same with its contentsr
besides ten sheep at Heverghani ; ten pigs, belonging,
to Mr. Drake, of Meyton Hall, were also killed.
At the late fire in St. Giles's, the following provi.
dential preservation of a mother and four children,
who resided in the upper part of the house, took
place :—The flames were raging towards her apart-
ments, and she, encouraged by the people in the street,
, who were prepared with beds, threw out three of her
children, one at a time, who were all safely caught,
without receiving any injury ; the youngest she tied
to her back, jumped out, andhowever extraordinary
it,may appear, they were also caught without hurt.
Friday night, the 13th instant, about 12 o'clockt
as a constable and two Other persons were guarding
corn, seized for non-payment of rent, due to Dr.
Brady, of Dublin, on the lands of Aughamore, county
of Meath, several shots were fired at them, which ob-
liged them to quit their posts, some of which shots
passed through their clothes; the fields were imme-
diately entered.by a number of men and women, not
less than 100 persons, who continued binding and
carrying away the corn on their backs and on cars,
until they comp et ly stripped near 20 acres of its
produce. The morning following, the constable, and
People empowered, waited on James Slid, Esq. Cap-
tain of the Police In that diStrict, who instantly
traced the corn to the haggards of a number of people,
and found that they had it milted with other core. to
avoid detection.
