HARRISON'S ARMY. In the Western County, including the troops at Fort Ilaaison, Vincennes, and Indiana, generally 13,000 On ti►e Niagara River 6OOO At Platshurgh and its vicinity • 8000 Burlington, Swanton, and Derby At Sachet's Harbour and at Ogdeusburgh 5OOO  J 3,500  , The above number is exclusive of the Pennsylvania awl Virginia troops, who are now on their march, and have probably ere this reached the Western Frontier 4500 The whole corps of Greenbush, on their way to Plattsburgh  41,500  In the certain anticipation of complete, success against the Russians* it appears tliat Buonaparte had gone to the campaign with a plan for the prodnction of a new batch of Kings. Murat Was to be made King of Poland, and ,Naples was either to be incorporated with the kingdom. of Italy, or to have a new king. How many more new dynasties It was the intention of lluouaparte, in the plenitude of his anticipated.. success, to found, it is impossible- not to know. But how great mist be his mortification, when, instead of making hinge, he must begin to fear for his own person. The following letter from Messina explains the I:iiinge. respecting Murat : " Messina, Nov. 18.  " A flagof truce arrived litre from the opposite ',Coast yesterday morning. They report, that King Joachim, (Murat) is to be removed to the, Throne of'POland, and ,that Naples is to form a part of the Kingdom of Italy. ley. asked us if it was true. that Ferdinand and his Queen bad sailed for England`?—it having been long reported at Naples, that their Majesties had consented to abdicate the Throne of Sicily in favour of the Hereditary Prince, and retire into that kingdom." EXETER! Dna. 29.—Yesterday• morning, about twelve o'clock, a most distressing Circumstance occurred at the Royal Horse Barracks in this city, by the prematfire dissolution of Richard Yates, tsq. a Captain in the sth reghnent of the line, who fell a, lamentable victim to suicide. This Officer .was in the meridian Of life, at. the age of 30 years, and returned from the Peninsula about six weeks ago, where be had been upwards of three years, nobly defending his country's cause, and braving every danger; lie bore a very superior character as a military man, and his whole deportment was marked with every amiable qualification which distinguishes the Patriot and the Gentleman. SOon after his arrival at Plymouth he marched to Kingsbridge, at which town it was first perceived that he deviated a little from his uniform line of conduct, and loose and incoherent expressions were observed in certain letters which he tvrotc, insinuating intentions which have been so fatally realised ; his spirits aiierwards flagged, and he became manifestly dejected.  On the day preceding the melancholy catastrophe, he re.inained confined to his bed the whole day ; • previous to tiketing his awful exit, be directed his servant to take some letters to a Captain in the same regiment, after ,which he proceeded to terminate the dreadful scene, by placing a soldier's musket to his breast, the butt-end resting 'On the ground, and with'his sword pushing against the trigger., be diiicharged the contents through his body ; the bait entered his left breast, came out at his hack, and ascending upwards, lodged in the ceiling. it appeared that he experienced some difficulty in the process, as the paint of the sword was much bent, and was found in his band ; the report of the gun alarmed souse of the privates, and his chamber door was broken open soon after thc„ieedwas done, but too late to be of any service, as be died instlntly.—A Coroner's inquest, of respectable Gentlemen, sat on the body this day, before Siostuet WALXEY, Gent. Coroner. Verdict, Lunagy.--(Ereter Paper.)  AIETEOROLOGif  L.  817 It.
