31 R. TROTTER.

It is not generally known that this Gentleman
and his brother, Mr. Outlive's, of the County Down,
are lineally descended from one of the noblest as
well ns most ancient families in Scotland, that of
Gowry. Our readers will recollect the description !
of the Gowry (alleged) conspiracy in Robertson's
Ilistory of St:Wand. The Earl of Gowry and his
brother Alexander, were the most accomplished
young men of their age, and it is thought received
part of their education in Pais previous to the year !
Itioo. The mysterious attempt in respect to king
James, has never been cleared up. However, this
noble family fell a sacrifice to the impetuous rage ,
and hasty suspicion of the moment. Their castle
at Perth was razed to the ground, and thei
name was abolished for ever. Such was the fury,
and such the manners, of the feudal times.—
Mr. Trotter, has himself never assumed the family
name of ituthveu ; having no estate to support the
rank of that ancient house. By a singelar coinci-
dence of things, his elder brother's, Mr. ltuthven,
, Lady, is nearly allied to the family of the Earl of
Selkirk, in Scotland. The ancient family seals, and
some documents of the Earls of Gowry, remain in
, Mr. Ruthven's possession, and he has been permitted
to bear the supporters of the Earl of Gowry on his
I carriage and arms. Mr. Trotter, the gentleman in
Ignestio% was the Secretary and friend of Mr. Fox ;
bat neither Isis descent from a noble family, nor ambi-
tious pretensions, made him such. Mr. Trotter's uncle,
the late revered Bishop of Down introduced his youth-
I ful nephew to that great man, who was the friend
and companion of his own youth. Similarity of
, mind, a love of the Poets, and rural life in its best
manner, produced au attacbmeut between Mr. Trot-
ter and Mr. Fox, which was dissolved only by the
! demise of the latter. Mr. Trotter accompanied Mr.
i Fox to France; was placed near him when he came
j into office, in 1806; and had that Gentleman lived,
would have been sent abroad, to a Foreign Court in
the diplomatic line, or been highly promoted at
home. By his death Mr. Trotter was left totally
unprovided for, and has since dedicated his time to
Literary pursuits and the study of agriculture, con-
tented with a small and beautiful spot in the county
of Wicklow, which until last year he held.—[Frons

CHAIRING OF MR. HUTCHINSON.
About one o'clock, the Gentlemen who were to
form the procession began to ussemble in the North
Malin-street, in front of the Exchange, at Cork.
Soon after the Chair arrived, accompanied by the
hand of the Loyal Cork Legion, who were placed
in a neatly built boat, elevated upon a carriage
drawn by four fine horses, the riders dressed in light
blue jackets. Upon the arrival of the Chair, the
streets Were thronged almost to suffocation. The
windows were filled with beauty and fashion—a
tnultitude of persons stood out on the window stools,
and on the roofs of shops—numbers were seen on
the roofs of the houses, all joining in the general ex-
ultation.
At four o'clock the procession began to move for-
ward, in the following order:—
'Two Persons on Horseback, with white IVands.
Tice Vehicle in which the Band was seated.
Nearly Two Hundred Gentlemen with Wands, two and two.

After these Gentlemen, was carried the Chair, in
which the Honourable Patriot, Christopher ely
Hutchinson, was placed. The height 13 feet, with

low satin, at the top of which was a Crown and
Harp richly gilt—the supporters yellow, entwined

Extract of a fetter from an Officer on board the
Blake, dated off Tarragona, Oct. 12, 1812 :—" On
the evening of the 27th of September, the Captain .
gave orders to Mr. ilt.tms to get the whole of the
boats out, and man and arm theta. Not a soul on
board knew what we were going about. The boats
were soon sent into the mole of Tarragona, and (with
the assistance of the Baron EROLEII) we brought oat
one French privateer, mounting 8-pounders, together
with four felutieas; but I am sorry to say, they were
all empty. The Baron had eight of his men wound-
ed ; the Blake had none. The whole of the officers
and seamen have agreed to give the prizes to the
Spanish troops, in consequence of their behaving so
well : they were worth about 2,500 dollars. Since
that, the Baron Eam.Es, with a few of his troops,
I fell in with 520 Frenchmen ; they were in the act of
I gathering their contributions at a place called Lonido,
20 miles front Tarragona. lie killed 271, took pri-
soners 179, escaped 70—total 520. lam heartily
glad they have got the prizes—they are t set of fine
looking men, but badly rigged."
Some apprehensions being entertained of the safety
of Mr. Tuoss is SYDEPIIIAM (late Commissioner for
the affairs of Spanish America), who has for some
time been with Lord W6LIANUTON, and who has been
supposed to have been taken prisoner by the French,
probably because his servants and baggage had ar-
rived at Corium*, where Mr. StroVIIIAM was expect.
esl,-atal where he had not arrived at the date of the
last dispatches—we are enabled and authorised to
state, that Mr. STDENuau To;as aduaily z:ith Lord
WELI:INGTON on the 3d Mit. (the dote of his Lord-1
ship's last dispatches); that he was expected to leave
head-quarters in a day er two for England ; that al
ship was prepared at Lisbon for conveying him to
this country ; and that his irrivat may therefore be
shortly expected, unless he should be still longer de-'
tallied in the Peninsula by his Noble Friend.

Tenedos, 38 guns, dated Halifax, 14th October
4g We shall sail from this in a few days, in company
