Sir LEONARD THOMAS WI:J(ISM HOLMES, Bart.
M. P. of Westover, in the Isle of Wight, has just
completed two Troops of Yeomanry Cavalry from
among the Gentlemen and Yeomln of the Island.

On the arrival of the Princess of WALES at Venice.
on her way to Milan, where she arrived an the 21,.t
ult. the Governor of Venice, Court de Gozs, gave a
magnificent fete in honour of the Princess, at which
she attended, with all her suite.
The Duke of Devon/me passed through Dres•
den, nn or about the 26th ult. on his way to Russia.
This morning, at four o'clock, the Saw-Mill ad.
joining Ewof's Wharf, Bankside, was discovered to
be on fire, and for some time threatened the safety of
the whole neighbourhood, being close to a large tim-
ber-yard and to the Southwark Gas-light premises.
It deserves particular notice that the fire, though it
speedily destroyed the premises where it brake out,
and which were entirely of wood, was confined to the
spot by some lime water having been employed in the
fire engines for want of any other at the moment.
The Gas-light Company had a large cistern of lime
water for the purpose of purifying their gas--where-
ever it fell on the burning materials it not only in-
stantly extizeislied the flame, but it was remarked
that the materials once wetted with the lime-water,
would not again inflame. In two hours all the dan-
ger was entirely over.
We understand that the tranquillity of the East
India College at Haileybury, has again been inter-
rupted.—There have been college councils held, and
juvenile councils held; and whatever might be the
comparative wisdom displayed in debate, the actions
at feast,semanating from the latter councils, were
most decisive and powerful, terminating in an attack
upon the council-chamber itself of the learned Proles.
sons. Mr. PRINCIPAL is said to have been chased,
with very opprobrious language, by a dog with a tin
kettle tied to his tail ; one of the Tutors was beaten;
the Steward had his head broken. On the -.ontrary,
the acts emanating from the council chamber of the
masters, though they might possess much wisdom,
were deficient in vignur. Some of those punishments
which are with great propriety called est:tit-aliens—as
lending the youths from the populous neighborhood
of Hertford-Heath, to the retirement of London—
were pronounced. Will they be inflicted 1
It is not unworthy of remark, that the first Bill
which was brought into the Irish Parliament for the
relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, was
moved and seconded by Mr. GARDLNIM, afterwards
Lord MOUNTJOY, and by Mr. O'NEILL, afterwards
Lord O'NEILL. On the sth of June, 1798. Lord
MOUNTJOY was killed by the rebels at the battle of
Ross; and on the Bth of the same month, Lord
O'NsuLL was piked in the middle of his own tenantry,
in the town of Antrim. These were the only per.
sons of distinction who fell in the Popish rebellion of
that year.
Some days since as inflant, three years old, fell into
the river at Vizernes, in the district of St. Omer. A
soldier, of she name of CAMPBELL, belonging to the
79th Scotch Regiment, saw the child precipitated in
the water, and dashed in after him. With some dif-
ficulty he reached the struggling innocent, brought
him out, and conveyed him to his lodgings, where
he stripped him, laid him on his bed, and rubbed himl
all over. The child soon breathed again, vomited
a little water, and was restored to life and to his
grateful parents.
Various and contradictory rumours are in circula-
tion respecting the dispute bete een Spain and Portu-
gal, and the calls that have been made fur the interfe-
rence of this country.—One account is, that we have
so tar acceded to the demand of Spain for our active
mediation with our old Ally, as to have sent a mes-
Isage to the Brazils, to state to his most faith! ul Ma-
I jesty, that it he persists in his attack on the Spanish
possessions in South America, we shall be forced to
withdraw our guarantee of his European dominions ;
and that it is only until the result of this message
shall be received. that we are to continue our mili-
• tary force in Portugal. Another report is in direct
contradiction to this, and states, that we have de-
clared oor resolution to observe a strict neutrality as
' to all proceedings in the new world—but that if Por-
tugal should be attacked by Spain, we are bound by
Tieaty to defend that Kingdom. • Between these con-
tradictory reports, we are not able to discover the
• ' truth. Whichever of them may be the fact.it is plain
that the situation in which Ministers find themsdees,
,is Gus o! ccasiderablc difficulty.
