• GUM CORPS.
Manz" Styr. 9.—The following extract sheirs
the high perfection to which the Camel Corps, com-
manded by Major LLIMAIDAIIII4 has been brought.—
It is a species of troops new to our army, though
they were employed largely in the armies of the Mo-
ghat Emperors, and a small corps of them were at-
tached to the forces of the Maharratta and other
Hindoo Chiefs: They are very useful against cavalry,
if they_ choose appropriate situations; but can do
tittle igainst infantry :
" On the Slit tilt. his Excellency Earl MOIRA It.
viewed the Camel Corps under the command of Major
LUMADAIIII4 ,at Futtygher. The men ofithis corps
are armed with a musket and bayonet, and each
camel canoes a 2-pounder swivel. His Lordship
was received on his arrival with the usual salute.—
The manual and platoon exercise was then ordered ;
after which the Camel Corps wheeled into open co-
- kimns of troops and formed column in rear of a flank
troop, ana deployed into line. The corps then
formed a hollow square and dismounted. After se-
veral discharges of musketry, the men remounted,'
and the corps formed an ambuscade in a Tope, and
kept up a surprising fire from the swivels. It then
changed position, and jerformed several other ca-
valry evolutions, which gained great applause.—
During the cannon salute, the Tad from one of the
swivels struck a camel on the head and killed him.
This accident occasioned some little interruption.
His Lordship was much pleased with the appearance
and performances of the corps."

The Mayquis of BUCKINGHAM, who has been indis-
posed, since his return from Paris, we are happy to
state, is much better.

Lew YEAR.—The cld astronomers, in adapting
Tore, to the revolutions of the Sure, by a Leap Year,
made no allowance for the gravitating influence.
which they ought to have foreseen would take place
in the earth's orbit on the 14th of this month, by the
I'wo Luminaries of 25,000 Guineas each, which
with Two of 020,000, and the 6667 others, All of
Sterling Value, will revolve in the Wheel of For-
tune next Wednesday, Valentine's Day, and whoever
has a Chance in that Vortex of Health, may enjoy
the Golden Age for ever afterwards.
ANECDOTE OF STUNE.—After he had been in-
ducted to the valuable living at Ct'xwould, in York-
shire, on the presentation of the late Earl of FAO..
CONBERG, a poor widow, of tuoit-unblemished charac-
ter, being at the point of death, expressed a wish to
receive the holy sacrament in her last moments. The
sentimental pastor was accordingly cent for: STERNE
instantly obeyed the summons; and the solemn (ere"
mony ended, be said, with a most benignant smile,
s• What do you intend to leave me, in your will for
this trouble ?" Alin Sir, (replied the dying wo-
man,) I am too poor to give the smallest legacy even,
to my nearest relations." " That ez..use (cried
. STERNE) shall not serve me ; I must insist on inherit-
ing your two children ; and, in return for this request,
j will take such care of them, that they shall feel as
little as possible the loss of an affectionate and worthy
mother." She expired. blessing the benevolent deed,
• and STERNE most religiously kept his promise !
A Letter from Switzerland contains the fojlowing
particulars During the last three months we
have had here several persons who had left Nismes
dh accoent of the perseclitions to which they were
exposed. Among others, I have conversed with four
or five Ministers : they all agree in painting their
situation r. s extremely critical; they declare must
solemnly that the present evils are not the result of
any political misconduct on their part, bin nib, solely)
front the hatred and jealousy of their Catholic brethren;
. that they are so surrounded by enemies, and all their
actions so misrepresented, that they are afraid to take
any steps, lest, on their proving insufficient, they
• should be exposed to an. increase of malice and perse-
Cation : they are, therefore, quite at a lou to know
how their miseries arc to be remedied. Oct a late
occasion, when the Duke d'Astootmeue visited
Nismes, a Memorial was drawn up, beseeching him,
in the humblest manner, to grant them his protection,
and to accept their assurancesof loyalty; but, though
pot a single complaint was made of all they were
actually suffering, their bitter enemies, who sur-
rounded the Duke. intercepted the Memorial, and
threatened tenfold vengeance on its authors.
ss The persons here are most anzioue for the fullest
investigation, but they decline furnishing any details
in writing, lest they should commit their untortunate
compauions. Such is the state of terror and alarm.
Gs Last week a letter was received here from a Pro-
testant Minister in Fiance, where he had officiated
for twenty-five 'years, informing his frjends that the
French Government had decreed that none but na-
tives should continue in its offices, and, that himstit
and many other Swiss .Miuiaters most leave their
. churches and, .:crow themselv:-s upon charity. This
resp,ctable man,. between bu and 60 years of age, u

" My Lone—As an opportunity offers -going to'
Cork. 1 write to acquaint you, that on my return
from the wreck last night, I had the honour to re-
ceive your letter of yesterday ; pad as you may be
anxious to know the particulars, I beg to acquaint
yoti, that every person occ hoard the Lord Melville
transport. of the 59th and 62d regiments, get safe on
shore at low water, except the eleven I mentioned to
you that were upset in a boat coming from her, and
were drowned.
• 14 The other vessel was the brig Boadicea (No.
561), T. Gibson, Master—had on board the follow-
ing of the 82.1 Regiment, viz—six officers, one sur-
geon iithi his wile, 285 non-commissioned officers and
privates, 15 women, and 18 children.
" Out of her are saved—(officers) : Captain Mon.
tague, Lieutenant Starkey, Ensigns Green and Field,
and I sh:iuld suppose nearly 80 privatesj but it is im-
possible as yet to be exact as to the numbers, as seve-
ral of them that were bruised and hurt are in the ca-
bins about the place.
The Officers of the 152 d drowned are, I .under-
stand, Lieutenant Davenport, Lieutenant Harding,
and Assistant-Surgeon Scott the wife of the last

also perished.
•' The brig Boadicea lies in pieces on the rocks,
covering almost all the dead bodies and we were
able yesterday to get oat. of her about 14b stand of
arms, which I have got safe to the Customhouse,
and this day they are endeavouring to get out the re-
mainder and bury the dead ; in short, every exertion
is making use of to save every thing, and to afford
relief to the unfortunate sufferers.
64 The detachments of the 59th and fill that were
on board have not as yet been able to get eider their
arms or any of their baggage; but as the vessel re-
mains entire on the'strand,lL should hope, if the wea-
ther moderates in a day or two, they will be able to
save a good deal.
• On our return from the wreck yesterday, we
brought with us all the 59,h and 62d, and those of
the 82d that were saved, and could move; and the
gentlemen of the town instantly took in all tbe offi-
cers and gave them dry clothes and beds, and every
comfort they, could ; and the Sovereign supplied all
the privates with billets on the town, and I am happy
to say every one here is most anxious to afford every
comfort in their power to the unfortunate sufferers.
• Governor Browne is gone again this day to the
wreck, to give what directions ne may think neces-
sary, and fifty of the privates of the 59th and 62d
regiments are gone back again also, to endeavour to
get their arms out of the vessel.
I brought over Captain Fawson, of the 59th,
whose wife was drowned, and have him at my house,
where I will afford him every comfort in my power.
