TEMPERANCE OF BUONAPARTE. The Emperor was never more than twenty mi. mites at table; he ate and drank but very sparingly ; he had time however, to partake after his soup, of two or three dishes and some desert. He required to be served promptly ; for not wishing to lose ally time, and as there was never wily one dish ut his table alter his soup, he was to be helped very exile. ditiously to those dishes which he fancied ; otherwise be took an altnotid or some other trilling thing from off the desert. When he rose from table, every one present did the same: he then went into the saloon, where he took a small cup of coffee. It may be well supposed that every peron whom ho invited to dinner made a good breakfast befiire they came, or returned to their own houses to finish their dinner. Those who took their weals with him for the first time, and who were not accustomed to his method, were actually starved; it was impossible for them to say that they had made a kingly repast, although his table was well covered; but no circumstance whatever could induce him to remain at table more than a quarter of an hour ; this used to ineniumode Josephine greatly, who was often hungry, and could not find time to satisfy her appetite. At the time of Prince Eugene's marriage ut Munich, which took place at eight in the evening, all the nobility in the country were invited. Ihe supper was ordered at nine o'clock ; tables were laid out Ca. 200 persons, who were all seated in a long gallery, the entrance of which was wide enough to allow the Imperial bun. queuing table, composed of the two f a milies, to have a complete view of the gallery. The Emperor's table was in the than of a horse-shoe, and was elevated above the 200 persona. The whole was magnificent from the splendour of the &Ananias and the lustres. Every person was ordered to seat them selves at table during the marriage ceremony. When it was over the Emperor immediately sat 'down to table; in consequence of the broad day light, he remained (which perhaps hail never happened before) a full (platter of an hour with his guests; he then went into Josephine's Dann, and gave orders for every one to withdraw. This order arrived actually before the whole of the table was belped ; the napkins were scarcely unfolded, The poor Germans could not recover front their surprise, they expected to make a splendid repast, and they were obliged to go home to their supper.

Numerous persons have b:en to view them, and it is supposed they are a part of the bodies slain in the bloody battle fought on that spot during the reign of Henry 11. and wheu the diffintences existed between that Monarch and his son, when to aid the latter the Earl of Leicester was marching through Farnham, from Framlingham with an immense army of Flemings (particularly artificers and weavers), but were attacked by the King's troops. who dispersed them in an instant, and put ten thousand of them to the sword, and took their Commander prisoner. This engagement took place in the year 1174, upwards of 600 years since, and the teeth in these skeletons were found extremely white and perfect. On Tuesday last, a meeting for the purpose of addressing the Queen was held at Warwick, in consequence of a requisition signed by above a hun dred of the most respectable inhabitants of the town. Dr. Parr, the Rev. Wm. Field, the Rev. Male, Aldermen Edwards and Collins, Messrs. Greathead, Jones, Russel, and Goodman, moved and seconded the various resolutions, which were pro pounded in speeches of great ability and spirit. It had been ;titende.d at first to disturb this meeting by a party of mockloyalists, with a reverend gentleman at their head; but an inspection of the enemy's fume convinc,d them of the futility of any attempt, and they contented themselves, like the snug loy alists of London, by retiring to a corni?r, where they huddled up an address to his Majesty in favour of those enlightened ministers who have shown such adsairahte skill in conciliating parties, and in maintaining tranquillity and content throughout the empire. An exciseman was taken into custody on Satur day, fisr stealing three pounds and a half-weight if candles from a tailow-ehandler's in Mary-le-bone, where he att.'znded in performance of his duty. Private letters from Dublin, received in town, state, that a very desperate action took place in the beginning; of last week on the western coast of Ire land, between his Majesty's smuggling preventive brio., stationed o ff Sligo, and a smuggling vessel. Th'e latter opposed a desperate resistance, and was assisted by the people on the coast, but the brig succeeded in effecting her capture, and made good the seizure. In this rencontre, we regret to say, the brig had several of her crew wounded. There were several killed and wounded on the part of her opponents. This system, which has been adopted within these few years for the prevention of smug. gling, has proved very efficient. The vessels are under the orders of the treasury; they carry up wards of 10 guns, are well manned and appointed, and commanded by u licutent of the royal navy.— The excise cutters employed in this service, were seldom able to encounter the ainuaers with suc cess, the latter being generally of larger size and superior strength in men and guns. These smug gling; preventive vessels are stationed at given tits. tances round the coast of 'rebind and Scotland. FEMALE COURAGE.Two young ladies were left by their father and mother in care of a country house, a few miles Irons Abingdon, together with two maid servants, and a • foot-boy. They were roused in the night by boys telling them the huuso was an fire: they instantly rose, called the maids, and gut buckets. T'•• fire being inacceasibla to the water, one of the Steers tell to work with a pick axe to batter down the wall of the drawing-room to put it out ; the other threw a pelisse over her night clothes, went into the stable, saddled a cart-horse, took the foot-boy behind her, and provided with a laige dinner-hell, rode otrin i ,ing and screaming for assistance at the public-house, parsonage, &c. till sin) roused all the neighbours, who carne with buckets. &et and extinguisited the fire, which had been pre vented from extemiing through the exertions of her sister.
