But, Sir, as I have trespassed so long on your time,
I shall conclude these remarks with merely one more
sentence. TALLEYRAND, Folmar, and others, who
but a short time since were the fawning sycophants
and idolatrous admirers of NAPOLEON, are now the
judges and executioners of their former companions,
whose only crime has been retaining those principles
inculcated in them by the very men who now deem
it worthy of death to breathe their own doctrine.

This is precisely the conduct which has been pur-

1. The Captains of the respective ships will enter

EXTRACT' OF A LETTER FROM DUMFRIE4, N. E.
Atig.so 'l. 1815.
GENTLEMEN,—SImo weeks ago, the Magistrates
and Council of this Borough, having taken into con-
sideration the propriety of opening a Subscription,
for the Relief of the Widows and Families of the
Killed, and of the Wounded, at the ever memorable
Battle of Waterloo, I have the happiness to say,
the proposition was agreed to with perfect unani-
mity, and most cordially supported and recant-
mewled from the l'ulpit by the Clergymen of the
two established Churches.

cruel BS to loSkt on our dismissing Miss FAitugs
from our memoti•.s.

Subscription papers having been prepared, Com-
missioners were requested to go through their re-
spective wards, and solicit personally every family
and individual, who were thought to fall within the
scope of such solicitations. Intimation of the in-
tention, and of the day when the Collections were
to take place, having been made from the I'ulpits,
nn the Sabbath preceding, with suitable exhorta-
tions, the measure has been attended with the most
pleasing success. The amount of the Subscription
in► this small town, where we have few opulent in-
habitants, is about five hundred and thirty-two
pounds, which I have now the pleasure, in the
flame of the Magistrates and Council, of remitting
to the Committee by my draft on Messrs. COLITTS
and Co.

The Committee will see that this business has been
gone into here with zeal and alacrity, and surely
never cause was more deserving. Were it necessary,
I could mention instances of most precious feelings
in a variety of individuals, in poor and straitened
circumstances. I will only further remark, that the
same sentiments pervaded the breasts of almost all
our little community, wishing you every success in
your laudable and praise-worthy endeavours, to re-
lieve the distresses of the Widow and Fatherless, &c.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
To the Committee for the Waterloo DAVID STAIR.
