We are happy, to learn, that considerable doubt exists of the fate of tj')f,- galiant La Roche Jacquelin. His death has only been slated m accounts derived from the Booapartiats.

Four men had been employed for some time, and had excavated rather consideraby, causing the rock to overhang progressively nearly lo the summit of the mountain, so that the operation of blasting' became particularly dangerous—it was, however, persevered in, and when the explosion took place, which was exceedingly loud, in the first moment only a few small stones were perceived to fall, when suddenly such a body of rock was seeu III mohon, that the inhabitants of the houses near thebase fled in terror, it appearing, from its great eleva- tion, as if the whole of that, part of the moun- tain was separating from its fastnesses. The reader may form some idea of the magnitude of rock thus seen falling, when we state, that it is supposed to exceed ia weight, 400 Ivua 1 An oruer has been issued from the War Ut- iiee, commanding all out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital, not exceeding 55 years of age, to appear at the head-quarters of the respective d is: rids in which they reside, to be examined previous to being formed into Royal Veteran Battalion.

His father was living then, and tiie Marquis was known by the name of Lord H. Petty. Lord Stanhope, who, with the greatest courage, reproached his brother in-law, the late Minister Pitt, for the measure resorted to by the British Government to starve France, has also a seat in the House of Peers —This is the same Lord Stanhope, who, the Ministerial Party declared with ani- mosity against the principle of the sovereignl, of the people adopted by France, said, In ad dresiug the House-, I ou wish, it seems, to appear religiotio-ttien read the famous chap- ter in which the Prophet Samuel explains the grounds on which he opposed the establish- ment of Royalty among the Israelites.'— These are the Members of the Upper House -vho particularly contributed, three years ago, to impose restrictions 011 the power of the Regent—there was then, still a hope of the restoration of the King's health."
