| Singular Military APPEARANCE !
AT Portland, in the district of NJ aine3
lieutenant INGRAHAm was lately tried by
Court Martial for furnishing one Noah
Harding, a private in his company, by TAX
ing his arms and Announcements from him,
Iputting him under guard, marching him
through the town, and placing him in pub
lie view On a Wooden Horse, erected for
the purpose, SSc.-In the lieutenants de-
fence before the Court, after detailing =
number OF provqoations given by the said
Noah Harding, ne thus describes Hardirg's
ludicrous appearance in The ranks on the
parade :-Irenton 13ue finer.
" 1t is fully proved By the -,stimcny thae
in pursuance of previous threats made as
public as possible, Noah Harding, the ccm-
plainant, did appear on parade, on the said
muster day, in dress that could not fail
to excite public ridicule and dcriscn, and
which was intended ard Sfnftd'y 6ciier-
ed by him to throw odium and contempt up
on the company to which he belongs, and
on his proper officers. 1t is July proved
by the same witnesses, that he appeared
wearing pair of spectacies Of an unusual
size and appearance, fastened round his
head with black ribbon Or something re-
sem5ling it, and it faiiy appeats that spec
tacles OF any kind are not usually worn by
him, neither were they such as could as
sist or relieve the sight of any person TO
whom spectacles might be necessary-aud
it is very apparent that those we're not IN
tended for any such purpose, but were pro-
curednor to relieve che sight, & could be on
iy lit to decorate the forehead of .N0ch
Harding: that he wore 2 straw hat with
yellow band procured for the occasion
that over a white meek handkerchief of the
usual kind he wore bSndanna handkerchief
so called, twisted up TO the resemblance of
a cord-that he wore three waistcosts of
unusual and unequal lengths al OF Differ
ent Colours, III sush q manner as to expose
them to view as much as possible and to
render his appearance stin more ridiculous
and contemplate, each waistcoat was ccilf-
ned with only one or two buttons at the
breast, so that they might be easily blown
about by the wind-thae having either We
ry long Suspenders or none at all, his pan
falcons flied up his boots So Is to make his
appearance awkward beyond description
and had it not been fer the length OF his
waistcoats he must have exhibited at his
waistband an appearance exceeding inde-
cent if not obscene. His cantecn was We
ry awkwardly hung upon him with a pro.
fusion OF what is called quality binding,
which further decorated his dress with
long strings or bows.-His boots had bet N
kept for number of weeks in his cellar in
order to contract a mould which might
render them suitable addition to the other
parts of his dress--he carried what he call
ed knapsack, but which was rather a
bag or pack of unusual size whimsicaily
painted and marked No. lin which was
. very large salt fish selected on account
of its size from pile of ten quintais, so
large that the tail OF the fish appeared a.
bove his shoulders out of the mouth OF the
bag" sc. sc.

L.ATEST IRON EUROpE

BY arrivals at this port and New
York, We have received English dates
to May d. The latest accounts state,
that new turn is given to the differ
ences which have of late subsisted be-
tween England and Prussia.
The spirited measures adopted by
the former against the latter, has caus-
ed change III the Cabinet Of Berlin
Count Haugwitz( the tool of Bonaparte)
has retired from office, and Count Kel-
LEI. has succeeded to the administration
Of afiairs. He was directed by the King
to pursue the most likely means to es-
feet a reconciliation with England. An
orderwas Immediately issued, directing
that all British vessels should enter and
depart from the Baltic without moles-
tatlon. From the above it is highly
probable the present misunderstanding
between the two powers viii be brought
to an amicable adjustment.
Accounts from the continent blow
h2t and blow cold. While some repre-
sent france, Austria, Prussia, Russia
and Sweden as about to make another
experiment of European policy, that is,
seeing which can do the other most
harm others state that the several
powers hayo settled all their disputes
by new treaties.
Holland is to be changed from q Re-
public to a Kingdom, by republican
Bonaparte, the friend Of Mr.. Jefferson
and his party in this country. Louis
Bonaparte is to be proclaimed King Of
Batavia, by the stile Of Louis /. Poor
Mynheer has demonstrated against this
change OF the government, but having
no more tribute money, all opposition is
useless.
