When a General sacrifices the public good to his own personal resentment, as he did, in not opposing the ionction of SOULT and SUCH ET, his service is nothing short o f treason in tfee, and calls for little less than the punish ment due to a traitor. It is with regret we have to announce another naval counterpoise, for the glorious military success which is re corded in The Extraordinary Gazette " PLYMOUTIT, Nov. 25.- - -Arrived a Prussian brig, in five days from Bourdeaux, was boarded yesterday by the I'r°nch privateer which had captured the Racehorse (men foned in my last), which put on board twenty-five English sai!ots, taken in prizes she had made, besides the Racehorse and four others, whose names I have not been able to collect. She also captured the ship Mary, of and for London from Honduras; this vessel, with six others, were under convoy of His Majesty's ship Frolic, ('f 18 guns, and fell in with a large American frigate, on which the merchant ships dis per3ed, and to favour their escape, the Frolic brought the enemy to close action, 'which was maintained for three hours with the greatest vigour, during- which the frigate lost her main-mast and foretop-mast ; and lastly, the Frolic was to tally dimasted, and her colours went over the side %..ith her masts, and it is feared was taken possession of."

MISCELLANIES. ANTWERP, OCT. 27 - The courage and generosity of a young woman, who substituted herself for her brother, a con script in 1806, and who has just returned from the army, co vered with honourable wounds, is now the subject of much conversation here. The story is true and the pai ticulars de srrve to be known. Virginia Chesqueire, born at Dclemont, department of the North district of Lille, finding that her brother who was or dered to march, was not in a condition to support the fa tigues of war, and that he was inclined to continue hii stu dies, obtained from her parents permission to depart for him. They were twins and very much resembled each other. She Presented herself at the depot in the clothes of her brother, and was sent to the 27th regiment of the line, in which she has served six years. She was raised to the rank of serjeant at the battle of \Vagram, for having saved the life of her captain, who fell into the Danube, and was in danger of pe rishing. At the battle of the 2d of May, near Lisbon, where the Duke of MIRA NTES commanded, her Colonel being sur rounded she demanded six men whom she could depend upon, with whom she proceeded to his succour; notwithstanding a gun-shot wound which she received in her left arm, she suc ceeded in saving him, besides making two insurgent prison ers. She also received on this occasion a wound from a bay onet in her side, was carried to the hospital of Ahneida and thence to that of Burgos, where she was cured of her wound without hersex being discovered ; but an illness has since be trayed it, and she has just passed by the city Courtray, to go to her depot, tq receive the recompence due to her valor►:, and to be decorated by the hand of the Colonel whom she saved with the honourable insignia due to the brave.— ( French Paper.)

Extract of a letter from Calcutta, of March 13.—" An earthquake was experienced at Cannanore about the 17th of last month. It was said in one of the Madras 'loners, that it was a severe gust of wirKl, by which the mess-room the•e was thrown down, and Lieut. PEARiON ki'led so; .e understand, that the accident was occationA by an earthquake, and not by violent wind. Almost every house in Cannanore is more or less injured, the walls of many being rent, and ~o ints of them unroofed. We hear that a meeting of some of Fir S.
