THE GRAND DUKE. 



A late London paper ubserves :— " Araotig 

 the more personal causes always mixed p with 

 public ones, which led to the mover, -nts in 

 Toland, we may mention the crueltj of the 

 Grand Duke to a poor woman who slo><d in the 

 way of his troops last year, whom he beat with 

 his own hands ! This brutailily, one of many, 

 sunk deep in the minds of the people of War- 

 saw. His rudeness, and the Emperor's cold- 

 ness to the senate ttt the coronation, together 

 with his insisting on crowning himself, dis- 

 gusted the nobles — that is, the whole gentry."

FIRE AT THE PEAPATCH. 



On Tuesday night, as statod in the Philadel

 combustible of Fort Delaware, upon tho Pea

 Tuttle's quarters. It isadded that the quar- 

 ters of the soldiers and officers, except, those 

 of the commander and the engineers, with 

 much clothing, provision, and furniture, have 

 been destroyed , and that the work is now but 

 the skeleton of a fortification. The public loss 

 is estimated at $100,000.

 cause, and destroyed the wood work entirely 

 of the Fort. Tho Quartermaster's stores, ord- 

 nance stores, and provisions belonging to the 

 troop6, were consumed. The command has 

 been removed to Delaware city. " The inluilw 

 itants of which (says a letter rocelved from an

 tality in relieving us under our present dis> 

 tressing situation."
