The disbanding of a division of the Army of the
Loire, at the dty of Limoges, was a most interesting
sight, w hich.will be long remembered. On the day,
and at a fixed hour, all the soldiers forming this di-
vision, assembled in the greatest order. After haring
attentively listened to the Ding's Ordonnance for the
disbanding of the army, the, deposited their arms,
joined and saluted their colnirof end before sepa-
rating, these brave mmt, whet hue faced death so of-
ten without emotion, embraced each other, and could

A letter from Chalons-sur-Saone, of the 14:11 inst.
contains the following details :

" Defort seems not disposed to capitulate. The
garrison has, it is said, sworn to bury itself in the
fulls rather than listen to any terms of capitula-
tion. As the fort is upoe the crest of a steep rock'
is well provisioned, and providedpsith a formidable
artillery, and the city is equally capable of being de.
fended, it is thought that the siege will be long and 11
difficult.

" It is effirmed that the Austrian' General com-
mending the blockade of ilefi,rt has summoned the
French General several limes, and that at last he has
threatened to bombard the place if he did not capitu-
late before the 15th inst. It appears that the besieged
answered this last summons by a terrible fire from the
place end the fort. Fresh Austrian troops are ad-
vancing, and it is announced that the besieging artil-
lery are ordered up.
" Al. Ttlibaadean and his son have been sent from
Sei'zerland to Colmar."

It is said that M. Maillardet de Fontane, of the
principality of Neufchatel, has, after '2O years study,
discovered the perpetual motion —the workmanship
of the machine is very curious, its construction simple
and its power ample. It is, in short, believed, that
the inventor fulfils all the conditions prescribed by
the different Academies for obtaining the prize.
The Place lioNalc and its vicinity are filled with
large vehicles to transport out of the capital the bag-
gage of the foreign soldiers ; a great number are
leaving every day. •

BRUSSELS, Seer. 16.—Letters from Lille, which
come from respectable authority, affirm, that the
Allied Powers have demanded that the town and ci-
tadel shall be occupied by their troops for a time,
and that it was generally believed at Lille, that the
King would be obliged to yield to this demand.
Arras remains in the same situation as before; the
gates are opened for a short time only every day,
with various precaetions. The citadel of Calais has
an English garrison ; and English troops are expected
at Dunkirk.

charged with having been prominent persons at this
outrage.
i Sunday se'nnight, about eight o'clock, a farmer
of the name of Cusack, living at Mount Judkln,
near Cashel, was suddenly surrounded on the road
immediately adjoining his house, by three aimed
. men, the first of whom put a blunderbuss to his
breast, and ordered him on his knees for instant
death, because he had dared to violate their laws by
bringing his corn into .his haggard, without !eating
.the clergyman his tithe on the ground. When
' Cusack, however, showed them that he had sells-
' rated the tithe-corn, and haggered it merely for pre-
sertation, to the proof of which they bad previously
and very formally sworn him, they spared his life,
and then demanded his arms. Cusack having tried
to evade thiq, the same fellow whq fist adeatteed on
him, agaiu levelled his blunderbuss at him, telling
• Cusack that " there was the piece that killed Bill
Maher (whose murder we lately mentioned), and
it was his hand that fired it ;" and that he was not
in a hurry, but that by his oath, which he took on
the same book he had used to swear Cusack, Ito
would not quit that place till he got Cusack's life or
his gee. With such art argument, supported hy•
. such a multitude. of arnted assailants, he was obliged
to comply, and gave up the oniy trUti he had, which
was registered for his protection.--(Herald.)
In our last we stated that a great outril:er of the
. parishioners of the -Rev. John Aidwell, of New..
chapel, had gone to that Gentlemtit's house, to in-
, tot m him they. had hero ...worn by a large party, re..
itseditig the manlier in which they had been required
. to pay •their tithes. The followiog is a more pardis
cuter account of that transaction:—
On the mottling bef.,te mentioned, about nine
!o'clock, Mr. Daniel Keating, of Springmoont, came
to Mr. Aldwell's house, and being invited into the
parlour by Mr. Aitken, proceeded to inform bitn,
that a large party had come the night preceding to
his (Mr. Keating's) house; that they demanded ada
mittance, to oblige him to swear compliance with
• their injunction, which. he distinctly refused; but
that ender threats of houghing his cattle, or doing
him other damage, they had obliged him to eneage to
accompany many people of the parish to his (Mr.
Aid well's) house, all of •whom they had forted t..
take a certain oath. Mr. Aldwell having been at
the um* tiro, informed tnat the., people wairA

DRURY-LANE.—The Duenna was repeated last
night, for the purpose of affording Mr. T. Comte a
second opportunity of appearing in Dun enaus.—
Whether Isom increased confidence, or a better
knowledge of the necessary pi.ch and compass of the
voiee to fill this immense house, he was heard to
much more ally tntage titan oil his former trial.--
There is considerable richness in some of his tones,
with a mellow cadence in the minor passages of his
songs, which delight the ear, and with touching soft-
ness reach the feelings : he also displays considerable
skill in vocal embellishment, which is goitetally di-
rected by good taste. Two of his songs were loudly
encoted, and lust nothing its their effect by rope!i-
lion. Mrs. DICHONS was the Clara, and the other
Lasts were also very ably sustained. The house was
excessively crowded.
Wednesday evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, a lad about fourteen years of age, currying
several articles of apparel from a taylor's, in Black-
friars'-road to a gentlemen's house in Finsbury-
square, was met by a sharper on Blackftiars.bridge,
who entered into conversation with the lad ; when
they had reached the corner of Chatham-place, the
sharper requested the boy to leave a note for him at
a house a few doors in Earl street, and he would
hold the bundle the while ; the ignorant boy left the
'ante with the fellow, who immediately decamped,
and got clear off with the property worth 01.
