The fact, I believe, is pretty well known, that at an
early period of the Freuch Revolution a Decree was
passed by the Convention, ordaining, that the whole
papers of the Scots and other Colleges of Douay
should be applied to the purpose of making ball car-
tridges, and that this ruthless' order was publicly un-
derstood to have been executed to the very letter.
On the restoration of Louis, the Rev. Mr. FAR.
QUIIARSON, now deceased, who formerly presided
overtite Scots College at Douay, but who had emi-
grated during the reign of terror, naturally desirous
of ascertaining how far this act of barbwian folly
had been actually carried into effect, paid a visit to
his old establishment, in which I had the pleasure of
accompanying him. The Reverend Gentleman, on
that occasion, made the strictest search through the
whole of the College, and every possible inquiry
among the inhabitants of its vicinity, and found, to
his sorrow, that the general report, as to the unspar-
ing fury of the Revolutionists, was but too well foun-
ded. One article alone had escaped their fangs. It
was an original picture of MARY Queen of Scots,
which had been left by her Majesty to the College,
when on the eve of her decapitation. A lady con-
nected with the College had contrived to secrete it in
a chimney, where it remained till the return of roy-
alty to France made it no longer dangerous to bring
forth to public view this relic of a beautiful and much
injured Queen. The picture has been since splendidly
framed, and has been transferred to the Scots College
at Paris, where it may now be seen. As I have sta-
ted, this picture was the only part of the valuables
left in the College, which Mr. FARCICITARSON could
discover had survived the wreck of its fortunes, nor
could he find a single written document or fragment
of any kitid.
Although these circumstances are rather conclusive
against the probability of any such literary treasure
having been found, by Mr. Watson at the College of
Douay, as a perfect M.S. of the Poems of Ossian, I
owe it to the cause of truth to state, that I have re-
peatedly heard Mr. Farquharson say, that there
actually was in the repositories of the College a very
old MS. copy of these Poems, down to the time when
he was forced to s'y from Douay to save his life,
leaving the whole of the college records, MSS. books,
and other propesty at the mercy of the convect
tionalists. _ _ _

It is still a possible case, therefore, that the MS.'
now alluded to may, through the discriminating ten-
derness of some of the individuals entrusted with the
execution of the Edict of the Convention, have been
saved from the common ruin ; and, should this really
prove to be the case, upon that explanation which
the public may reasonably expect to receive from
Mr. 'WarsoN. none will be more sincerely giatified
than, Mr. Editor, your constant Reader,

VIENNA. OCTOBER Y.
The latest accounts from Constantinople which
can be depended on, are of the .25th of August.—
The mutiny of the Janissaries had not only not been
appeased by the measures that were adopted, but it
rose to the highest pitch. A tire, originating with
the Janissaries, has not only destroyed the Palaces of
all those persons whose discharge they had deman-
ded, but also some thousands of houses which were
in the neighbourhood of those palaces. The Sultan,
who repaired in person to the spot, was not able to
compel the workmen to assist an extinguishing the
flames ; and the discontent rose so high, that he him-
self had the greatest difficulty to reach his Palaces
and save himself.
The new Prussian Ambassador, Count Von Scbla•
den, was expected to arrive at Constantinople on the
26th of August.
Raslier accounts from, Constantinople say-4, The
fast of Ramadan, and the festival of Beiram, were
over. The only change in the Ministry consisted in
the nomination of the former Reis Effendi, Seyda,
to be Intendant of the Marine ; and it is generally
believed in Constantinople that he will soon be again
Reis Effendi. The meeting of the Janissaries had
led to the deposition of their Aga, and the nomina-
tion of his Lieutenant in his room. On the 9th of
August there was a Great Council of State called, in
which the Sultan designed to determine upon two
Points. The first was, the answer to be given to the
Russian Minister, Baron Strogonoff, in reply to his
last Memorial. The other was, the answer of the
Notes which have been presented to the Turkish Mi-
nistry by the Ambassadors of the Catholic Courts at
Constantinople, concerning the molestation of the
Catholics at Jerusalem and Aleppo. It is particu-
larly remarkable, that the English Ambassador has
presented a similar Note on the same subject:"

The Brighton Harriers were in full cry on the Downs on
Tuesday morning: the weather wa. lovely, and the sport brisk
and good. The field was splendid—several dishing Ladies were
on horseback, who rode up to the dogs, over hill and dale, to
the admiration of the hardiest veterans of the (*.ice. The dogs
threw off on the race-hill. This morning they did the same at
the Devil's Dyke, and on Monday they m.et near Potshots.

LINES
SENT TO A YOUNG LADY, MISUSER or THE SOCIETY
OP INTENDS.

Tat may rant of their costume and brilliant head-dresses,
" A la Greco'', a la Francais," or what else they will,
They mai tai! of Nora which glitter in tresses
Unwreath'd by the Graces, and braided with skill ;
Yet, when all's said and done, to my eye the drab bonnet
tithe loveliest of any, and chief when it wears,
o t only the bright gloss of neatness upon It,
But beneath the expression Benevolence bears!
Then let Fashion exult in her vapid vagaries,
From her fascinations my favourite is free,
Be Folly's the head-gear which momently varies,
But a bonnet of drab is the neatest to me!
Though stately the Ostrich-plume gracefully throwing
Its feathery flashes of light to the eye,
Though tasty and trim the straw bonnet when glowing
With its ribbons so brilliant of various dye;
Yet, somehow or other, though none can seem duller
.Than a simple drab bonnet to many a gaze,
It is, and it will be, the favourite colour
• Bound which, with fresh fondness„my awl" still plays !
And it well suits my Muse with a garland to wreath it,
And echo its praises with gratefullest glee,
For knowing the goodness that oft lurks beneath it,
Tine bonnet of (bob beats a turban with me !
Full many a rare gem the Poet hath ehaunted,
In the depths of the ocean flings round it it's sheen,
And" full many a Rimer," its beauties uncounted,
Springs to life, sheds its perfume, and withers uaseen—.
And well do I know, that the Sisterhood numbers,
Array'd in that liberty coxcombs reprove,
Forms as fair as e'er fiash'd on a Poet's sweet slumbers,
And faces as lovely as ever-taught lore.
This I know, and have felt, and thus knowing and feeling,
A recreant Minstrel I surely should be,
If my heart felt attachment, and fondness eGncealing,
The bonnet of drab were unhnnour'd by me
I have buk'd in the full blaze of beauty and faihion,
Have seen theee united in gifts rich and rare,
And crown'tl with a heart that could cherish forays. ka,
And, by sympathy, soften what sorrow must share ;
Net acknowledging this, which I can do sincerely,
Still the highest enjoyment this bosom e'er knew,
The glance which it treasures most fondly and dearly,
llesm'd from under a bonnet of dreb-coloued hue!
'Twas my pleasure and pride—it is past, and bath perish's',
Lake the track of a ship in the.derp heaving sea ;
Out its loveliness lives, its remembrance is cherisb'd, •
And a bonnet of drab is the sweetest to rue !

SPORTING LWELLIGE.VCX.

!Star or no betting took place yesterday at Tattcriaff's, on
3CCOUIIt of most of the sporting G.mtlemen bAng at Newmarket.
No betting on the 11.rby. Betting na the Oaks at *corn, 1819,
sic to four. General Grosvenoes Bute Stockings against any one.
A dispute, which occurred at the late Stafford races, respect-
ing the whiner of a plate, added to a handicap Stakes, is likely
to ho referred to the Juck.'y Club, for di: decision of the Mem-
bers. Lord Itossmore, it seems, started two horses, which, it. is
contended, is contrary to the laws of the Turf. The question,
therefore, is, whetle.r the running fur a Handicap Stakes, and
carrying handicap weights, although a plate is included, abrogates
the plate laws? if Lotd Rossmore's Tattoo should eventually
prove to be disqualified, the plate and stakes will go to the
second beet horse, Monitor.

Thursday last, at three o'clock, in celebration of
her MAJESTY'S Birth-day, his Excellency the LORD
LIEUTENANT held a Levee at the Castle, which was
most numerously attended by all the Nobility and
other personages of rank at present in t:iis city. In
the evening their Excellencies the LORD LIEUTENANT
and the Countess of TALsor, had a ball and supper,
at which every person who could claim any rank or
distinction in the country was present.
Miss KELLY,—It is in the recollection of our Rea-
ders that Miss KELLY Was violently assailed in Lon-
don, by a deperate enthusiast. We ieg7et to state,
that a similar fatality has befallen her Lyre, as on Sa-
turday last—a young man of wild appearance, as
we are informed, liillowed her horn:, though per-
fectly unknown to her, as it appears, anti whose con-
duct was so strange, as to mind, as to resemble that
of the person we nave already mentioned in London.
In the present state of this affair, we do not feel:autho-
rised to go into further detail.—Lublin Journal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

of an Hernia, performed (of a large size) by the Medical Board,
at Charlotte House, Greet Charilute-street, Blackfriars Roaci,in

and deemed incurable by eminent Surgeons, I patiently bore my
affliction, expecting every hour to be my last; I at length ap-
plied to the Medical Board, and have reason to pray for that
excellent Establishment, for although I ant nearly 60, was par.
feetly cured io a few weeks, and now, thank Goa, enjoy good

I can have no other motive fog this coininutdcation than a public

THE ARMY.

The Army Estimates for the current year are less
than those of last year by the sum of 188,0271.195. Sd.

Tuesday, the detachment of the 14th regiment,-
which lately arrived at Portsmouth from the Medi-
terranean, in the Thoma, and Mary, was disem-
barked and marched to Chichester.

Thursday part of the 35th regiment marched from
Winchester, for Hilsea barracks, and the remainder
followed next day for the same destination.

The 64th Regiment has embarked at Plymouth,
and remains wind-bound, for Gibraltar. The sth
Battalion, 60th Regiment, will return home to be
disbanded.

We have good authority for stating that the 91st,
92d, and 93d Regiments, as already announced, are
to be formed into Highland Light Infantry, and will
not come within the reduction. By the latter arrange-
ment the Government will secure the services of de-
cidedly some of the first and best class of men in the
Army: of this we have an instance in the 93d, com-
manded by Colonel OMAGH :—during a period of
two years and five months, that this noble Regiment
has been dispersed, in the word of times, in not less
hthan twenty-two different parts in the Counties of Li-
merick, Tipperary, and Glare, these has not been a
case of complaint against the corduct cf an Officer
or Soldier, except in one solitary instance, and the
individual in question was immediately removed.—
Punishment and desertion are not known in the Corps ;
and what is equally honourable, there is scarce a man
in the Regiment sixpence in debt.

INDIA. -

MADRAS, SEPT. SO.—We have received letters from
Hyderabad of the 20th, by which we are happy to learn
that the health of his Excellency the Commander in
Chief (Sir T. Hislop) continues to improve very ra-
pidly. On the previous day he had taken an airing in
his palanquin, and we liope in a few days to an-
nounce his complete restoration to health. The Ge-
neral was not expected to leave the Residency before
this date. In the mean time the different columns
are on their march to form their respective divisions
of the army in the field._

From die banks of the Beemah we have some ac-
counts of the movements of troops. A vast quantity
of rain had fallen in that part of the Deccan. The
river had risen considerably, and a great number of
cattlehad perished from the inclemency of the weather.
Madras was visitec4 early an Tuesday morning
last, by one of the most awful and tremendous thun-
der storms we ever remember to Lave observed. The
lightning was extremely vivid, nut we are happy to
state that, as far as our enquiries go, no material
damage was occasioned by it. A tree at the St.
Thome Tank was struck and shivered. An immense
quantity of rain fell during the storm. The weather
has since been serene, but extremely sultry.
Ocroaaa 7.—Letters of the Bth ulrimd, from the
Most Noble the Governor-General's fleet, lead us to
believe that head-quarters will be established at
Cawnpore on the 10th ultimo. The third division of
the Bengal army had received orders to hold itself
in readiness to take the field by the 15th. An army
of reserve was to form at Calpee, were the Marquis
of Hastings will fix his head-quarters during the
time the army is in the field. His Lordship had en-
joyed the best health during the voyage. The gal-
lant veteran General Sir 1). Ochterloney is to com-
mand the third division. We- are happy to hear that
the sickness at Jessore has considerably abated. The
epidemic is said to have been occasioned principally
by an immoderate use•of sable fish.

existing state of things in the Mexican provinces,
where goods are escorted from the landing port to
the capital with 1000 men, Spanish trade is very
small, the remainder of the Continent is supplied
through other channels. Foreign Merchants will not
therefore be deluded by.this snare.

The measure was concerted between Minister
GARAY and the Public Companies of Spain, and
resorted to as a financial scheme, with a view to
enable the Government to fit out the Russian Squa-
dron and the other proji-cted armaments against
South America. The execution of the project has
been confided to La Direction General de Rentas, a
subordinate department under the Finance Minister,
%%hose dispatch, communicating the Royal Order to
I the Cadiz Consutado, is in town.

In the same letters it is positively asserted, that a
Treaty or Convention has been concluded between
Spain and the United States, whereby the two Flori-
das are to be ceded to the latter, either in exchange
of Louisiana, which, in such case, would revert to
the domiujon of Spain, or for a certain sum of money
to be agreed upon between the two parties, hut, it is
added, under the condition that such cession or ex-
change of territory shall meet the approbation of the
British Government.

GHENT, JANUARY U.

The exportation of our flax to England has caused
the spinning of thread to flourish to such a degree in
ScOand,, that our manufacturers cannot sell at so
I*g.srice:as. Scotch. It seems that the latter
spin hymnachinery, andTillat without some legislative

measures, which the nation has long called for, this
important branch of our industry will escape.from us
to enrich foreigners.

FRANKFORT, JANUARY 15.

On the 10th of this month our Legislative Body
pronounced the abolition of the servitude of the in-
,habitants of the country, which forms our territory,
as well as of all the services resulting from it, with-
out in}- indemnity. This Decree was passed by
acctuuation.

IN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC:

LADIES anu Gentlemen, the uncommon demand
for a supply of my newly-invented JAP.IN BLA Lh-
' ING, from almost every Town in the United Kingdom, :ad
the numerous conunurdeations I am daily receiving, all bearing
testimony to its matchless t-cellency, awakens in my mitxtthe
most lively emotions of gratitude, sod demands my warmest ac-
knowledgments, for the Interests you have taken in promotisar
the sale of this useful commodity. lam weft aware that what-
ever is offered to a discerning Public ought to prove its own et-
vellntcy, as every flower carries with it its owu sweetness; but
oft we witness the labours of the most ingenious and titnerripg
rendered unsuccessful. arising from the difficulty in prevailing
on others to scrutinize its merits. This, however, is not the eine
with my humble exertions to render thyself useful to society ;
but from one department of the nation to another has my bril-
liant Composition gained the ascendancy. Nor would 1 wish to
disguise the fact, how flinch I am indebted for this unparalleled
distinction to those Ladies and Gentlemen who, ever ready to
encourage merit, have laid such particular injunctions 09 their
servants to purchase no other Blacking but that which bears the
impression of the name of 6' RICHARD Teasel," which highly
distinguished preference I will endeavour to preserve, by a con-
stant and unwearied attention to every future command I may
be honoured with.—l am, Ladies and Gentlemen, with the most
profound respect, your very obliged humble servant,

POOR LAWS AMENDMENT RILL.

The House then proceeded to the farther conside-
ration of the Report on the Poor Laws' Amendment
Bill, when the amendments having been read a se-
cond time and agreed to,
Mr. STURGES BOURNE proposed a clause for
enabling parishes to sell their Workhouses, in order
to build new and larger ones, which was agreed to,
as was another proposed by Mr. Cuawnr, respecting
the wages due to seamen not being paid over to pa-
rishes all the voyage had been completed.
On the clause respecting making small-rented te-
nements liable to the Poors' Rates, Lord COMPTON
objected, that in cases where houses had been let for.
6/. or 71. a-year, the consequence of this clause would
be, that the owners must raise their rent to above
10/. a-year, by which the occupiers would gain a set-
tlement. le wished, however, merely to prolong
the date in this clause ell the Ist of January, 1819,
in order to wive time to those affected by this part of
the Bill.----Agreed to.
After a few words from Lord CASTIEREAGH, Mr.
A. WRWHT, and some other Members, the third
reading of the Bill was fixed for to-morrow, that it
mightle sent to the Lords before the holidays; and
in order to afford facility to the progress of the mea-
.. rave notice, that he should
postpone the se.ond reading of the Alien Bill till
Friday sennighl.
NEW CHURCHES.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved the further consideration of the Report of the
New Churches Bill.—On the Motion of the same
Right Honourable Gentleman the Bill was then re-
'committed, and some verbal amendments introduced.
Dr. PHILLIMORE proposed a clause for the pre-
vention of the opening any grave, cemetery, or church
yard for the interment of dead bodies, within twenty
feet of the scite of every- new church respectively,
unless such grave, &c. be enclosed by an arched
stone or brick vault, under the penalty of SO/.
The clause was adopted, and the Report being
agreed to, the Bill was ordered to be read a third
time to-morrow, if then engrossed.

WATCHES AND CLOCKS.
Mr. W. SMITH gave notice of a Motion for to-
morrow, for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent frauds
and abuses in the import and export of articles af-
fecting persons concerned in the manufacture of
watches and clocks.

prove that the dog had been lent to Southey at the re
quest of the plaintiff. • He then called
Peter Non-is, who said be had been in defendant's
service for 17 years. He used to travel and take
Boxer with him. Witness heard the plaintiff apply
to defendant to borrow the dog for Southey, saying
he was a lighterman, who wanted him for the use
of his barge. After some entreaty defendant con-
sented, on condition that he should be returned when
he wanted him. This was in the soap room.
Cross-examined...-He is not a partner with defen-
dant. Mr. Price has left off travelling two or three.
years. He has a dog called Lion now in his posses-
sion. Defendant had lately gone one journey. It
was since he got Boxer back. Mr. Price knew that
Butts had the dog. He never heard his master say
he would give .ss. to any one who would steal him.
Joseph Tyrrel remembered Boxer and Lion fight-
ing. Boxer had been previously tied up, and had
been loosened by Butts. Witness heard Butts after-
wards say, that Mr. Southey wanted the dog, to
which Mr. Price replied, that if Mr. Southey came
he had no objection to lend him to him, on condi-
tion that he should have him back when he wanted
to go a journey. Witness remembered Southey cal-
ling for the dog. He heard plaintiff say to Southey
he might have the loan of the dog on the above con-
ditions. Witness afterwards accompanied Butts to
Whitecross-street, where he (Butts) fought Boxer,
and brought him back in a " sad mangled state."
Cross-examined.—He had been apprentice to Butts
and was dismissed for having defrauded his master
of a few shillings. He was since in the service of
Price, who offered him a crown to get the dog for
him ; he was never offered ss. to steal Boxer. The
way he took the few shillings was at a time when he
had been sent for a few stamps, which he did not
brinf, but kept the money.
illiam Weedy, a traveller for Mr. Price, had a
conversation with plaintiff about Boxer. He said,
that plaintiff had lent him to Mr. Southey ; that he
had got him and would keep him, as possession was
nine points of iri.• low. Witness said he ought to re-
turn him. On another occasion, plaintiff said he
should return the dog, if witness or plaintiff chose to
call for him.

Mr. SCARLETT, in reply, contended, that there
had been no evidence given to prove that the dog had
not been given to Southey, and from him to the plain-
tiff, and therefore plaintiff was entitled to a verdict.
Mr. Justice AB iIOTT shortly observed, that the Jury
had heard the evidence on both sides, and would
give their verdict according to the credit they were
inclined to give to the witnesses on the different sides.
The Jury retired ; and, after a long consultation,
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one
shilling ; the defendant and►rtaking to return the dog.
