PRINTED AND PUBLISHED, FOR THE PROPRIETORS, BY G. F. HARRIS. VOL. XI. No. 53 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1811. PUCE SIX- PENCE HALFPENNY. WEDNESDAY'S POST. LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 17. nPHE Gazette of Saturday contains an extract of X a dispatch from Colonel Green, employed on a particular service ill Catalonia, statins that Baron Eroles had made an inroad into Langnodoc, much farther than has been known since the wars ot the succession, defeating a corps of 1500 men, and levy- jn< r contributions on the enemy to tile amount of 50,00( 1 dollars. A letter from Capt. Codnngtpn, of the Blake, fully confirms the statements ot Colonel Green, as to the admirable spirit which animates the Catalonians. This Gazette also contains a letter from . Capt. Pey- ton, of the Weasel, announcing the capture, on the 59th of August, near Cyprus, of Le Rot de Rome, French privateer, of 10 guns and 46 men. Another privateer, La Couragcnsc, of 14 guns and 70 men, has been captured off the Eddystone, by the Rimi frigate.— Also a Proclamation, by the Secretary for the" Home Department, offering a reward of 5001. for the discovery of the murderers of Mr. and Mrs. Man, & c. with a free par. ion for the informer, unless he be the actual murderer of the parties. THE KING.— Bulletin of Sunday—" His Majesty continues nearly ill the same state."— Private ac- counts state, that his Majesty is much worse, that the debility increases, and that the Physicians, with a single exception, no longer entertain hopes of his re- covery. , . ,. The Prince Regent is reported to have been indis- posed at York House for these two daVs past, with" - aevere pains in the arms — He is attended by Sir Henry Halford, Sir Walter Farquhar, and Dr. Blane. — His Roval Highness's debts ( 500,0001.) are expect- ed to be liquidated by Parliament on its meeting. A Lisbon mail arrived on Saturday night, by which il appears that Lord Wellington's head- quarters were, on the lst instant, at Fuentes de Guinaldo, in don- sequence of some movements of the enemy, indicat- ing an intention to throw supplies into Ciudad Rod- rigo, but which it was supposed his Lordship meant to endeavour to obstruct. Guard has died of wounds and anxiety. Marmont, with part of his army, had gone to Talavera, whence, after a short stay, he pro- ceeded to Madrid. Three days before the sailing of the packet fiom the Tagus, 31 transports had entered the river, with reinforcements. General Blake's army, deducting the number of killed and wounded in the battle of 25th October, amounted, including reinforcements, at the date of the last advices, to 22,000 regular troops, ( a consi- derable portion of them cavalry,) and 4000 irregulars, consisting of armed peasantry. This army had not, as has been supposed, retreated within the walls of Valencia, but was stationed between that city and the enemy's camp, which was composed of about 20,000 soldiers. Besides various improvements in the forti- fications of Valencia, the Spaniards before the place have thrown up some strong works in their rear, to which they may retreat ill case of another discomfi- ture. Letters from Paris have been received to the 9th inst. They furnish no intelligence from the Penin- sula, but mention thst reports are received of mi ap- proaching peace between the Russians aud the Turks. By an arrival from France we learn, that young Cleri, the son of the faithful servant of that name to Louis XVI. who attended his Majesty to the latest moment of his life, has been taken prisoner in Spain, whilst nobly contending in the Spanish army against the French. His sentence, after a summary trial, was to be shot, which was immediately carried into execution. The weak and barbarous policy of the Porte in massacring the Mamelukes has not been attended with the effect that was expected. Egypt is still menaced with formidable enemies. The few surviving. Mame- lukes, flying to Upper Egypt, have every where pro- claimed the treachery of - the government. To the ordinary causes of hatred is now added the impetus / if revenge. The Arabs, Wechabites, and hordes of barbarians from the coast of the Red Sea, have united with the Mamelukes: and each ally is convinced of Ihe impossibility of making peace with so treacherous a foe. In the war of extermination that will follow, the native Egyptians will not suffer ti n least; to grant supplies, or withhold them, will be punished with death by one or other party. Already have 32 villages been plundered and burnt, and the districts in which they were situated, rendered fruitful bv the hand of industry djiring a series of ages, are restored once more to the genius of desolation. It is with the deepest regret we announce the total loss of his Majesty's frigate Saldanlia, of 38 guns, commanded by the Hon. Captain Pakenham, at the entrance of Longhswilly Bay, in the dreadful gale of Thursday se'iinight, when, lamentable to relate, every soul 011 board perished. Upwards of two hundred of the dead bodies have been cast on shore, among which was that of Capt. Pakenham : lie had nothing on him when taken up but his shirt and night- cap. His re- mains were afterwards interred. The Saldanha was a new frigate, and one of the finest in our navy. She bad probably near three hundred souls on board, and her Commander was a young officer of the highest character. Captain Pakenham was brother to the Earl of Longford, Lady Wellington, and the Hon. Colonel Pakenham, Deputy Quarter- Master- General of the army ill Portugal. We have great satisfaction in stating that the Tal- bot sloop of war, for whose safetj so much apprehen- sion has been entertained, arrived in Loughswilly ou Tuesday morning last. Intelligence to the above ef- fect was received on Thursday at the Castle, Dublin, in a letter from the Collector at Deny. The Endymion, for whose safety apprehensions were entertained, is arrived at Cork. From a million to twelve bundled thousand pounds are expected to he recovered by Government, for du- ties fraudulently withheld by tiie brewers throughout the kingdom— writs and commissions have been is- sued from the Exchequer for almost every county- one person is said to have paid down 33,0001. rather than have his accounts investigated. Smilhfietd Club Cattle Shew.— Yesterday morning the Annual Shew of Cattle, Sheep, and Pigs opened, in Mr. Sadler's spacious premises, coveted with sky- light, iu Goswell- street. The yard was well attended ' by amateurs and practical breeders and feeders of cattle, and others concerned in the important• business of supplying the growing wants of the country witji respect , o animal food. The many tine pens of lonj- " woolied sheep,- attracted mnch tbe attention of the company ; and the very extraordinary South Down sheep, both for carcase and fineness of wool, bred by Sir John Sanders Sebright, Bart, were much ad mired: together * ith an ox, shewn by Mr. Westcar. The acquittal' of Dr. Sheridan has called forth a Royal declaration, which at this awful crisis must be considered of great importance.— His Royal High- ness the Duke of Clarence was at a public dinner, at Portsmouth, when the result of Dr. Sheridan's trial was announced; he instantly seized the opportunity of expressing himselfhighly satisfied with the verdict, and of declaring at tiie same time, that all his bro- thers, with the exception of the Duke of Cumberland, are decidedly favourable to the great cause of Catho- lic Emancipation; His Royal Highness was further observed to declare, that the great obstacle, namely, the prejudices in the mind of his Royal Father against the Catholics, no longer could prove operative, and that of course that great portion ofjiis Majesty's sub- jects were speedily to he emancipated. The leases of tlie Crown Lapd ill Mary- le- bone Park, expired iu January, 1811. The land consists of 543 acres. Surveyors aud architects have been employed by the Snrveyot- General of the Crown Lands, to pro- duce plans for making an addition to and communi- cation between these premises aud the west end of the town, aud for opening a grand street to lead from Charing- cross to the proposed centre building in Ma- ry- le- bone Park, and this to save a third of the time v. lireh otherwise w ould be required in passing to and from the Houses of Parliament. The estimate to ac- complish tbi < undertaking of the street, is 290,0001. but tlie ground rent of the new houses on each side, and the sale uf the old materials, will reduce the ac- tual outgoings to not more than 54,0001.'; at least such is the statement of Mr. Fordyce, the Surveyor- General of the Land Revenue of the Crown, and which has been submitted to the House of Commons. An article of great value to our manufacturer? lias been lately imported from Bengal; which, it is con- fidently asserted, will be an effectual substitute lor the expensive scarlet produced from cochineal. Coriolanus was produced with unexampled splen- dour, on Saturday, at Co vent- Garden Theatre ; the united performances of John Keruble and his sister Mrs. Siddons exceeded all their former efforts. Such was the anxiety of the public to witness Mi's. Siddons ill this the last season of her appearance, that the boxes were all taken for many days previous to bring- ing out the above- mentioned piece. TO a late foreign journal is a relation of a suicide, which iu sangfroid equals any thing on record in Eng land. A Lieutenant- Colonel. Mantzen, of the Prus- sian hussars, having been stripped at the gaming table of all his property, even to his watch and the rings he wore, returned home. Next day he disposed of his commission, and having offered marriage to a re- spectable female whom he had seduced, a clergyman was sent for, and the ceremony performed. He then retired to a private room, and while some friends were felicitating the bride on her fortune, the report of a pistol announced the catastrophe that had taken place. The company hastened to the room, but the Colonel was no more. On the table was a letter to his w ife, mentioning the cause of his death, and inclosing the amount of the sale of his commission. A court- martial was held at Plymouth, on Wednes- day, and continued, by adjournments, to Friday, on James Martin, a black; Manuel Joachim, a Portu- guese ; John Hockley Williams, a native of Ireland ; and John Mellington, a native of Staffordshire ; be- longing to the Diana frigate, Captain Ferris, for the murder ofa midshipman, quarter- master, and captain's steward, belonging to that ship, on board a French prize brig, that was ou her passage to that port. The circumstances of the mutiny and murders have already been detailed in this paper, and want of room pre- vents us from giving the evidence which was brought forward on the trial. All the prisoners were found guilty and received sentence of death. Sirs. Sellis, the unfortunate widow of Ihe wretched man who is supposed to have made an attack on the life of the Duke of Cumberland, set tip a haberdasher's shop in the Haymarket, soon after that shocking event. She has, however, lately given up that busi- ness, her Majesty having been graciously pleased to settle a pensiou on her for life. Mil. WALSH. Thursday, Adkins, the Bow- street Officer, arrived in town from Falmouth, having in custody Mr. Walsh, the stockbroker, and M. P. for Wootton Basset, who, having been entrusted by Sir Thomas Plomer, his Majesty's Solicitor- General, with 22,0001. to pur- chase Exchequer Bills, bought to the amount of 60001. only, and absconded with the remainder. Mr. Walsh was apprehended on Monday morning, at an hotel in Falmouth, where he had taken up his abode, with the intention of proceeding by the packet to Lisbon, which, unfortunately for liim, was wind- bound.— On Thursday . evening, lie was examined at Bow- street, when Sir Thomas Plomer attended, and stated to the Magistrates the particulars of the fraud. Sir Thomas produced several letters which the prisoner had trans- mitted to his clerk, his brother, and to Sir Thomas himself, after absconding. The letter to his brother, after informing him of the act he had committed, stated that he intended to have taken the money from another, whose miserable and unprincipled conduct deserved nothing better ; but that the temptation had fallen in his way by Sir Thomas's money being ill his hands; that rather than see his wife and family starve, he had, by his most unjust conduct, added ingratitude to real injury, as Sir Thomas Plomer was a real friend. The letter to Sir Thomas Plomer himself confessed the robbery, and implored his forgiveness. The clerk, on receiving his letter, communicated its contents to Sir Thomas, and which was the means of tracing the prisoner.— Sir Thomas's solicitor, who accompanied Adkins to Falmouth, deposed, that they found on the prisoner upwards of 10,0001. ill American stock, and about 3001. in bullion. The Magistrates enquired if his person hail been searched, as there were still up- wards of 50001. unaccounted for ? Being informed that it had not, the prisoner was ordered from the bar for that purpose. Oil his return he wept bitterly. There were found in his possession 471. in Bank of England notes, and some silver, which, with the American stock, the bullion, and other loose articles, were given to Sir Thomas's solicitor.— A second exa- mination took place on Friday; during which Mr. Walsh remained with his face covered by his hands, leaning on the iron rail iu front of the bar.— A few pounds were returned to the prisoner, after being searched the first day, for his present support. The witnesses were bound over to prosecute, charging Mr, Walsh with feloniously stealing 15,0001. antl up- wards, the property of Sir Thomas Plomer. Mr. Walsh was then fully committed to take his trial.— The unfortunate man has seven children, and an ami- able wife, who is said to have prematurely given birth to the eighth on Sunday last. He was declared a bankrupt in Saturday's Gazette; and a difference of opinion prevails as to whether his offence is felo- I nious. On the evening of the 30th ult. as a gentleman named Minshnll, was returning from a matrimonial excursion to Gretna- Green, aud passing over Sheep- Fell, a barren heath to the north of Kendal, with two young ladies in the carriage, they were suddenly alarmed hy the cries of the postillion, and before they could enquire the canse, the doors of the carriage were burst open, and two men presented pistols to the breast of the gentleman, and demanded his mo- ney ; which not being instantly complied with, one of the ruffian-.! discharged the contents of his w eapon into Mr. Minshull's breast; and with the resistance of his comrade, rifled his pockets, while he was welter- ing in his blood, of every thing valuable. They then decamped with their booty without molesting the I • dies, who became insensible when they made their appearance. Upon their recovery, nhat v.. . their horror at the sight! one of . them, possessingn. ore presence of mind than the other, went in search of. the postillion, w hom she found, tied hand and foot, upon the ground. They then pursued their, melan- choly journey to tile nearest town, where, soon after their arrival, Mr. Minshult expired. He was the last male descendant of the ancient Earls of that name, of Cbiircli- Miiislitill, in Cheshire. MURDER OF MR. MARR.— Mr. Windel, a res- pectable solicitor, residing in Charles- street, Bed- ford- row, yesterday morning received a letter from a correspondent at Chester, stating, that two men of very suspicious appearance had been apprehended the preceding day, at that place, who it appeared, were endeavouring to effect tlitir escape to the sister kingdom. They have been examined before a magis- trate; antl have made a sort of partial confession; from which it appears very probable, that, if they are not principals, they have a complete knowledge of the circumstances attending this diabolical murder. An officer of police is dispatched to conduct them to town.— Another man, blind with one eye, answering to the description of one of the persons suspected of the murder of Mr. Marr and family, has been taken up near Guildford, by Lord Middleton, and examined at Shadwell Officc ; a frock found in the highway, stained with blood, is supposed to belong to liiiu. Ou Sunday the mother and two sisters of Mrs. Marr came to town to dine with her, and till their arrival at the house were not informed of the oreadful ca- tastrophe. Interment of Mr. and Mrs. Marr, and Infant . Son.— Sunday the neighbourhood of Ratcliff Highway pre- sented a scene of sorrow and lamentation. Crowds assembled from the house V> the doors of St. George's church, waiting for some time. The cungwgation in the church, attending divine service, remained in their stations to witness the afflicting spectacle. At half- past one the- proccssioii entered with some diffi- culty. No language can describe the grief depicted in every countenance on witnessing the coffins con- taining the unfortunate bodies of Mr. Marr, Mrs. Marr, and her infant. The procession entered the aisle of the church in the following order:— Body of Mr. Marr:— bodies of, Mrs. Jfv^ tA infant; •— fattier and mother of Mr. Marr jf? lttottie, r of Mrs. Marr;— four sisters of Mrs. Marr;— only brother of Mr. Marr;— next in relationship to the deceased ;— friends of Mr. and Mrs. Marr. The affliction of the aged parents, and the brother and sisters of the deceased, was the most heart- rend- ing spectacle. After the church ceremony, the corpses were conveyed into the burial ground, and deposited iu one grave.

To those who have revelled in the midnight cup, or madly drained nature of her richest stores, by uure- strained or licentious love, or by the horrid selfish pas- sion of Dlogones, tills Restorative will render all pos- sible assistance ; and if the vital powers b' 1 not entire- ly destroyed, it will gradually repair the melancholy evil.

The Directors of this Institution, with confidence derived from its eminent success, invite public atten- tion to the important benefits which it is calculated to produce. Even on the ordinary plan of Insurance Companies, the utility of Life Insurance is manifest, but how mnch more advantageous is it on the plan of the Provident Office? In the common mode the specific sum insured is recovered, but nothing more. In that of the Provident Office, while equally secure of the specific sum insured, the member is entitled to share the surplus profits, and this it has been seen will fre- quently double and treble the sum stated in the Policy ! and this also without any additional charge of pre- mium! The security and prosperity of this Institution are at once promoted by an extensive Association of Lives, an effectual improvement of its Funds, w'. dch the Act of Parliament passed in favour of the Office has mate- rially aided, and for which the Metropolis affords the best opportunities, and an economical management, in which the Court , of Directors, Trustees, and Auditors act gratuitously. Aud in order still more effectually to complete the security of tiie public a surplus capi- tal of 250,0001. lias been provided by the original mem- bers, to meet any excess of losses that may occur. The Subscribers to this capital alone are held respon- sible for the engagements of the Office. Mindful that Security is tiie first object of Insurance, and that every Office which has undertaken I ife As- surances below the established rates, has, sooner or later, proved insolvent, the Directors will not offer the illusive temptation of a reduction of the Premi- ums. Indeed, on the plan of the Provident, such an adventure could have no attraction— for, supposing that the known safe rates are more than sufficient, and yield a surplus, that surplus will be divided among the Members, and those who continue longest Members will be the most benefited thereby. But what has proved the issue where Societies have rashly speculated on reduced and insufficient rates? Their funds have become exhausted by the earlier claimants, and the later ones have been left destitute. Those who have continued longest Members have been the greutesl sufferers! Military men are not charged with any additional Premium, unless called into actual service. No Admission Fees are leqnired, nor is any Charge made for Policies, except the Stamp Duty. A Pamphlet, fully explaining the principles and terms of the Institution, may be had at the Office, and ofthe Agents and Booksellers, pricc 6d. Agents are appointed in the principal Towns, who are likewise Agents to the Connty Fire Office. The Directors of the County Fire Office and Provident Life Office are desirous of appointing Agents in the towns that are at present unprovided with them.

Aucliiuuty, arrived at tiie Secreta- ry of States Office this day with dispatches, addres- sed to Ihe Earl of Liverpool, by Lord Minto and Sir S. Auihmuty. If cad Quarters. Weltevreede, M v Loft Di A uffn. it 31, 1811. After a short but arduous camping.', the troops yon did me lite honour to plai'e under my oiders have taRSii tlitvta'pilal of Jav'a, hnvtrass'aiilted and carried the enemy'sforniMahle works at Corneiis, have defeat- ed and dispersed their collcctedfurce, aud havedriven them from the kingdoms of Bantam and Jacatra. Tins' brilliant success over a well- appomted and disci- plined force, greatly superior i n mini hers, and in every respi et well equipped, is the result ofthe great zeal, gallantry, and discipline of the troops, qualities which they have possessed in a degree, certainly never surpassed. It is my duty to lay before your Lordship the details of their success, but it is not in my power to tlo them the justice tliev deterve, orto express how much their country is indebted to them for their great exertions. [ Sir S. after slating that a landing was effected with- out opposition at the village of Cliillingehing, twelve miles east of the city, on the 4th instant] states, that he approached the river of Aujol oil the 6th, and ob- serving ( luring, that evening a large tire 111 Batavia, concluded it was the intention ofthe enemy to evacu- ate. the city ; and w ith this impression he directed the advance of the army under Colonel GiUespie, to pass the river in boats on the succeeding night. They lodged themselves in the suburbs of the eitv, and a temporary bridge wa- hastily constructed ou the morning of Ihe Sth, capable of supporting light artil- lery. On that day the Bttrghers of Batavia applied for protection, and surrendered the city without opposition, the garrison having retreated to Welte- V,' eerie. The possession of Batavia was of the utmost impor- tance Though large storehouses of public property were burnt by the enemy, previous to their retreat, and every effort made to destroy the remainder, we were foitunate iu preserving some valuable granaries, a. id other stores. Very early 011 the morning of the 10th, I directed Col. Gillespie, with his corps, to move from Batavia towards the enemy's cantonment, at Weltevreede, supported by two brigades of infantry, that marched before break of day through the ciiy, and followed his route. The cantonment was abandoned, but the enemy were in force a little beyond it, and about two miles 111 advance of their works at Corneiis, Their po- sition was strong, and defended by an abbafis, occupi- ed by 3000 of their best troops, and four guns of horse artillery; Col. Gillespie attacked it with spirit and judgment; and, after an obstinate resistance, carried it at the point of tbe bavonet, completely routed their force, ant! took their guns. Though we had hitherto been successful beyond my most sanguine expectations, our further progress be- came extremely difficult, aud somewhat doubtful. The enemy, greatly superior in iiumbeis, wasstrong- ly entieiiehcd in a position, between the great river jicatia and tbe Sloken, an artificial water- course, neither of which were tordabte. This position was shut up by a deep trench, strongly pallisaded. Seven redoubts, and many batteries, mounted with heavy cannon, occupied the most commanding grounds within the lines. The fort of Corneiis was in the centre, and the whole of the w orks was defended by a numerous and well organized artillery. The season was too far advanced, tiie heat too violent, and our numbers in- sufficient, to admit of regular approaches. To carry the works by assault was tile alternative, and 011 that I decided. At dawn of day, on the 26th, the assault was made. The principal attack was entrusted to that gallant and experienced officer, Col. Gillespie. He had the in- fantry of the advance, and the grenadiers of the line with him, and v. as supported by Col. Gibbs, with the 59th regiment and 4th battalion of Bengal volunteers. They were intended if possible to surprise the redoubt No 3, constiucted by the enemy beyond the. Sloken, to endeavour to cross the bridge over that stream Willi the fugitives, and then to assault the redoubts, within the lines, Col. Gillepsie attacking those to the left, aud Col. Gibbs to the right. Lieut- Colonel M'Leod, w ith six companies of the 60th, was direct- ed to follow a path on the bank of the great river, and When the attack had commenced 011 the Sloken, to endeavour to possess himself of the enemy's left re- doubt No. 2. Major Tule, with the flank corps of the reserve, reinforced by two troops of cavalry, four guns of hotse artillery, two companies of the 69th, aud the grenadiers of the reserve, was directed to at- tack tbe corps at Campong Malayn, 011 the west of the great l iver, and endeavour to cross the bridge at . that post. The remainder of the army, under Majoi- General Wetherall, was at the batteries, where a column, un- der Col. Wood, consisting of the 78th regiment, and tbe 5th volunteer battalion, was directed to advance against the enemy in front, and at a favourable- mo- ment, when aided by the other attacks, to force his way, if practicable, and open the position for the line. The enemy vvas under arms, and prepared for the combat, and General Jansens, the Commander in Chief, was in the redoubt where it commenced. Col. Gillespie, after a long detour through a close and intri- cate country, came on their advance, routed it in an instant, aud with a rapidity never surpassed, under a heavy fire of grape and niusquetry, possessed himself of the advanced redoubt, No. 3. He passed the bridga with the fugitives, tinder as tremendous a fire, and assaulted, and carried with the bayonet, the re- doubt, No. 4, after a most obstinate resistance.— Here tbe two divisions of the column separated. Col. Gibbs turned to the right, and with the 59th and part of the 78th, who had now forced their way in front, carried the redoubt No. 1. A tremendous explosion of the magazine of this work ( whether accidental or designed is not ascertained,) took place at the instant of its capture, and destroyed u number of gallant offi- cers and men, who at the moment were crowded on its ramparts, which the enemy bad abandoned. The redoubt No. 2, against which Lieut.- Col. M'Leod'sat- tack v. as directed, was carried ill as gallant a style: and I lament to state, that most valiant and expe- lieuced officer fell at the moment of victory. The front of the position was now open, and the troops rushed in from every quarter. Daring tbe operations on the right, Col. Gillespie pursued his advantage to the left, carrying the enemy's redoubts towards Ihe rear, and being joined by Lieut. Col. M'Leod, of the 59th, with part of that corps, he directed him to attack the park of artillery, which that officer carried in a most masterly manner, putting to fhghtabody of the enemy's cavalry that formed, and attempted to defend it. A sharp fire of musquetry was now kept up by a strong body of tbe enemy, who hail taken post 111 the lines in front of fort Corneiis: but were, driven from them, the fort taken, and the enemy completely dispersed. They were pursued by Col. ' Gillespie, with the 14th regiment, a party of sepoys, and Ihe seamen from the batteries under Capt. Say er, ofthe royal navy. By this time tbe cavalry and horse artillery had effected a passage through the lines, the former commanded by Major Travers, and the latter by Captain Noble; and, with the gallant Colonel at their head, the pursuit was continued, till the whole ofthe enemy's army was killed, taken, or destroyed. Major Tide's attack was equally spirited, but after r uitiug the enemy's force at Campong Malayo, and k iiing many of them, he found the bridge on fire, and w is unabled to penetrate further. 1 have the honour to inclose a return of the loss sus- tained, from out landing on the 4th to the 26th in- clusive. Sincerely I lament its extent, and the many valuable and able officers, that have unfortunately fallen; but when the prepared state of tbe enemy, their numbers, and the strength of their positions, are considered, I tiust it will not be deemed heavier than im » ht lie expected. Their's has greatly exceeded it. In " the action of the 26th, the numbers killed w ere immense, but it has been impossible to form any accurate statement of theamonnt. About 1000 have been buried in the works, multitudes were cut down in the retreat, the rivers are choaked up with dead, and the lints and woods were filled with the wounded, who have since expired. We have taken near 5000 prisoners, among whom are three General Officers, 34 Field Officers, 70 Captains, and 150 Subaltern Officers ; Gen. Jansens made his escape with difficulty, during theaction, and reached Builenzorg, a distance of 30 miles, with a few cavalry, tbe sole remains of an ariiiy of 10,000 mrn. This place he has evacuated, and fled to tbe eastward. A detuchuient of our troops is in possession of it. ( Signed) S. AUCHMUTY, LienL- Gen.

I11 Weltevreede a Report was found, by which it appears that the enemy's troops at Batavia, Samaraug, and Sonrabaya, consisted of 17,945 men, [ After the storming of Corneiis, Gen. Jansen is sup posed to have fled to Sonrabaya and Gressi, but as he had only 50 horse and one French General with him, any resistance he may make can neither be formidable nor protracted.] [ Batavia is a seaport town 011 the north coast of the island of Java, iu the kingdom of Jacatra, situate in a low and marshy plain, at the union of some small ri- vers, which descend frpm mountains, ami render the internal navigation easy; ill most of the sfacets are ca- nals filled with almost stagnant water; some of which canals extend into the country. Tiie city occupies a great space, because the houses are large, convenient, and airy ; the streets are very wide and straight. The borders of the canals are shaded with large trees, which stop tiie exhalations of the marshy laud, hinder a free circulation of air, and render it unwholesome ; this tinwholesoineness is much increased bv the custom of depositing £ c black and putrid mud on the sides of the canal to dry. The public buildings are frr the most part without elegance ; the church • f the Cross is large and handsome. The ti. wii- lioii. se is well situ- ated ; the hospital is convenient and large Batavia is surrounded with a rampart of stones or bricks, at the foot of which runs a rapid liver At the end of the town is a castle, with lofty and thick walls, well furnished with artillery, which commands the place ot landing, and contains large apartments, magazines, workshops, & c. At some distance frnui tbe town are. forts anil redoubts, to command the canals and the roads; hul the chief defence is from ils marsh; situ- ation. The harbour is the most beautiful in India ; it is large, and the bottom secure Round the liarbonr and in the bay are several islands; among whirl] are Edam, whither they send criminals to hard labour, about five miles 111 circumference; Ptirnierent, in which is an hospital; Kiiyper, or Cooper, in which are magazines of lice and other merchandize'; Ournst, an island, six miles from tbe town, and well fortified; here is a timber yard, where three or four hundred carpenters are kept constantly employed, with maga- zines of stores to furnish vessels with whatever they inav want. Batavia is said to contain within the a alls 1242 Dutch houses, and 200 Chinese ; and nearly as many in the suburbs; the population is supposed to be 60,000 souls, of whom 17,000 are Europeans or de- scendants of Europeans. The heat is moderated dur- ing the day by a wind which blows from the sea, and during the night the air is cooled by winds blowing from ti e land. The environs are spread . with country houses and large gardens, covered with lofty trees, and intersected with rivers and canals; lint in the midst of cultivated lands are found marshes, bogs, and brackish waters, which produce fevers aud epidemic disorders; every countenance announces debility and languor. Some houses indeed are built in situations more elevated", aud where the air is more pure, but these are very rare. For the space of 30 or 40 miles * iie land is a perfect flat; beyond this are two hills, where inenst em to possess strength and colour, where the diseased readily find health, and the rich enjoy a charming retreat. This soil, so unfriendly to man, is the best for vegetation, and produces' great quantities of rice, Indian corn, millet, potatoes, indigo, ic.; vast plantations of the sugar- cane grow almost without culture, and produce a greater quantity of that vege- table salt than those of the American islands. But the most abundant article of luxury is the fruit, of which there are no less than thirty- six different kinds. Offish, there is an amazing plenty; the poultry like- wise is good and abundant; wild- fowl is in general scarce. Arrack is a liqnor for which Batavia has been long famous. In the year 1619, Batavia was only a village, pallisadoed round with bamboo canes; in a fiat country, marshy, and subject to the inundations of a river running through it. At this time the Dutch made a settlement here, who demolished the old, and built the new town, which they called Batavia; tliey cut canals and drains to carry off the w ater upon any land- floods. The bqy has 17 or 18 islands, which de- fend the harbour, capable of containing 1000 vessels, from tbe violence of the winds and waves; two huge piers run out half a mile into tbe sea ; between which 100 slaves are constantly employed in taking out the mud or soil, washed out of the town, without which the mouth uf the river would soon be choaked up. It is the residence of the governor- general of the Indies, appointed by the states of Holland, every three years.] The regular Gazette of last night contains further details of naval achievements in the Indian seas, by the boats of his Majesty's ships Drake and l'rocris; and an account of the capture and destruction ot some of the enemy's armed vessels to the southward of tbe Isle of Aix, by the Arrow and the boats of the Colos- sus and Conquestador. The accounts from Windsor yesterday stated, " that his Majesty's debility had encreased, and he had le- fused to partake of his usual nourishment." Monitenrs and other French journals to the 12th have arrived. They contain a most gratifying official document on the subject of Spain. The French are now reluctantly obliged to confess that defeat and disas- ter everywhere attend their arms.— With Girard'sfate we are acquainted; and as he is not alive to answer for himself, plenty of abuse is of course throw n upon him. Godinot, another of the miscreants sent to sconrge tbe Peninsula, has blown his brains out— a strong proof of ihe value of Ballasteros'g services against liiin. — The French have certainly occupied Gijon and Ovi- edo; but, 011 the other hand, they are 111 the last ex- tremities in every other corner of Spain. The French Genera s, no doubt, by this time have found out that there is something in tbe war m Spain different from ail the other wars ill which they have been engaged— arums perish without battles— Ilie sol- dier s. nks into the grave without glory— the General cannot sustain his ancient reputation— whilst the troops that overran kingdoms in a month,. and beat down the regular armies of Austria and Prussia iu a battle, are now, after three years' warfare with an undisciplined people, iu a situation where dangers multiply around them 011 every side. The duty 011 spirits distilled from sugar is expected to be lowered ou tbe assembling of the Legislature. Carraccas papers lo the 23d Sept. have been re- ceived via tbe United States; from which it appears that a conspiracy against the cause of independence lias been suppressed in the city of Valencia, in which 700 persons lost their lives. A11 Anhqlt mail arrived yesterday, the letters by which from Gottenbnrg communicate very distressing intelligence regarding the last honiewafd- bonnd con- voy, which sailed from Hanno Bay, about the 20th ult. It consisted of more than 200 sail, under the protection of his Majesty's ship St. George, and was passing through the Belt, when it was overtaken by a very violent storm, wirlch dfepeised fhe fleet in all directions.— It is stated that 17 foundered at sea, the crews of which were lost; that many were taken by the Danish privateers, and that others sought shelter, • either by running into the ports- of Zealand, or into those of Sweden; 73 vessels have readied Matwick, a port near Carlsham, but most of them are in a disabled state, and where, it is expected, they will be obliged to winter,— The St. George rode out the storm, but was obliged to cut away her main, inizen, and fore- masts. This intelligence excifed- a considerable sensa- tion yesterday at Lloyd's, where most- of the vessels are insured. The strong fort of Bourbon, on the island of Mar- tinique, has been destroyed: the William transport has brought tbe gnns ofthe garrison to, England. This destruction, it would seem has been undertaken pro- spectively: should the island be ceded to or taken by the enemy, it will cost them immense time and ex- pense to restore it to its former state of defence. By an arrival from France this day we have the plea- sure to find, that our countrymen so long under dur- ance in that territory have sonie little indulgence granted them, so that by giving bail for each other they are frequently permitted to quit Verdun and other depots, tor travel in tbe several departments, either for business, health, or silinsenient. The Catholic Delegates have resolved to give a grand dinner at the Rotnnda, in Dublin. They inv t- ed tbe Jury by whom Dr. Sheridan was acquitted ;— but the invitation was declined. This day, the Lord Mayor, attended by the Re- corder, aud a deputation, went in state to York- house, and presented the City Address to the Prince Regent, praying his Royal Highness, at this season of scarcity, to issue his Royal Proclamation for stopping the further distillation of spirits from corn. Sir Sidney Smith, we regret to hear, is at present seriously indisposed, at the seat of bis son- in- law, Sir W. Rumbold, in Derbyshire. On the marriage of Miss Tilney. Long, Miss Lau- rence will succeed to the rank ofthe wealthiest heiress in England. The Royal Mausoleum at Windsor has lately been finished, and the. remains of the late Princess Amelia have been removed into it, in as private a manner as possible. Mr. Waithman lias declared himself a candidate for the city of London, at the next election. An eruption of Mount Etna took place on the 3d nit. which is described as being more violent and destructive to the villages below the crater, than any which had happened for several years. A s aman of H. M. ship St. Jttan vvas executed at Gibraltar, on the 26th ult. for striking a lieutenant of that ship in the presence of Commodore Penrose, A King's messenger lias been dispatched to Ply- mouth, with a death warrant, for the execution ofthe four men belonging to the Diana, found guilty of mutiny and murder, who areprdeied tobu hung at the yard- arm of that ship as soon after the receipt of it as possible. The servant of Lord' II. who stood charged with au attempt to poison a family in Maddox- street, has, under all circumstances- of the e;* e, been admitted to bail, to answer the etrai'ge at tiie Did ltaiiey ; facts having transpired which demonstrated that the act was not done from malicious motives, but rather from ignorance. Application was, on Thursday last, made to the Bank Directors, for the restoration of 20001. of the Company's notes, which had . been incautiously thrown into the fire, instead of some waste paper, by a young gentleman, wuo conceiving himself totally ruined by the accident* iil^ iediately- eut bis tj. i- nat from tar to ear, and threw liiniself upon his bed, where he lay nearly live hours, but was fortunately discovered before animation was quite extinct, though six quarts of blood must have been lost. He is in a fjur way of recovery. FIRE.— This morning early a fire broke out at Joi- ners- hall, Upper Thames- street,.(. lately used as a mer- cantile warehouse) the interior of which was totally destroyed, together with a large quantity of valuable goods.

General Riminski, it is said, is to have the command of another army. The private letters speak of a peace between Russia aud Turkey as certain, lint, according to the foreign journals, no particulars of thy negotiations have yet transpired. By a l< Iter written from Rio de Janeiro towards the latter end of September last, it seems that I lie Portuguese General Don Diego de Sonza, with eight thonsan I Portuguese troops, had arrived very mar Montevideo on the ljlli of that mouth, and that he had forcibly interfered to put down thi in- surgents iu the country lis far as the river Para pa. His orders, as published at Monte Video, went. only to in eriere as far as the Uragelay. It is very eon- fiib nlly asserti d at Rio de Janeiro, that Don Diego de Muiza has likewise orders to combine- his move- ments with the Montevidean force*, and also those of Gavar. eche, who, it was expected, would have ap. pro . died Buenos A vi es, and jointly to attack that city, Advices received yesterday of the 10th October, fioni Aux Cayis, state, that ih consecpi nee of the death of General Rigaud, the malcontents lately under his command, who had formed a separate government, have manifested an intention to return to the authority of Frtion, who was in treaty with them- for that purpose. This morning an Heligoland mail arrived. Its ronti nts rhii fly relate to the severe gales. His Majesty continues iu thesamc state. The Dublin papers, received this morning, say that Mr. Pole lies dangerously ill, in consequence, we snppose, of the blow- he received lately by the tumbling of a bookcase on his head. By letter- received yesterday from Nottingham, it appears that the practice of frame- breaking eWnfiuies to as great an extent as ever in the vicinity of that town and the adjoining counties. Iu the mean time, the trade is endeavouring to bring the men to a coAi- promise. They have come io a resolution generally to advance the price of labour, and lists of their terms have been printed and distributed amongst the workmen ; but whether they are such as w ill satisfy their demands, remains to be seen. The military force is daily increasing in the neighbourhood, and amongst others, the Blues have arrived at thcsienes ol riot this week, from their quarters at Windsor. A frotting- niatch for 500 guineas took place on the Hertford roa>! on Monday, between Mr. Pennington's celebrated mare Spanker, and a grey horse from Blackwater, the property of Captain Wiuuock.— Thousands were pending on the match, which was four mill's. The horse led at the rate of 17 miles an hour, aud a better race was never witnessed. The mare won the match byahout 36 yards. The animals were rode feather weight, and the distance was per- fumed in 13 minutes and ten seconds. Lieut. Jones, ofthe 7th foot, has been committed to Doncaster goal for three months, for having in his possession a quantity of counterfeit Bank of England tokens, for 3s. and 5s. 6d.

Thomas Brougliton, for more than thirty years rector of St. Peter's, in that city, and a justice of the peace for the comity of Glocester. As a magistrate, a scholar, aud a clergyman, be lived respected, and died lamented :— and in him Ihe church has lost one of her most useful members; literature one of her soundest disciples ; and society one ol her brightest ornaments. Saturday se'nnight died, Mrs. Esther Petherick, w ife of Mr. Peiherick, surgeon, of Raglaud, Mon- mouthshire ; a most virtuous and exemplary character. On Tuesday died, at her lodgings in Bristol, Mrs. Wiltshire, relict of Win. Wiltshire, Esq. aud sister of I'hos.

Lately died, in Saint Thomas- street, in Bristol, Dick Horton, .- the pugilist. He is supposed never to have/ orgoftoi the blows he received in Ills contest with Crib. Yesterday his Grace the Duke of Norfolk arrived in this city, from his seat at Gr& ystock, in the ceuhty of Cumberland. T. Goddard, > E « q. M. P. for Crieklade, having sig- nified his intention of refiling from Parliament, our present High Sheriff, Robert Gordon, Esq. of Kem- ble, has declared himself a candidate for the represen- tation of that borough at the next election. Early on Monday morning this city and neighbour- hood experienced a very severe storm of thunder and lightning, aicompanicd with heavy rain and hail, and • a high wind. This storm appears to have been gene- rally felt iu this and the adjoining counties: but we are happy to say that we have not heard ofauy mate- rial damage being done. The markets in London still continue on the decline, while ihosc in the country remain with but little al- t a . tf. M. On Tuesday last an inquest was held in this city, by D. Wijley, Esq.. Coroner, on view of the body of William Rotiirts, who died suddenly.— Verdict, died by the Visitation of God. <* Mr. Ellis, i of Miusterworth, near this city, lately took the roe ou t of a splmoii, of l' 7! b,' ancl counted tlie, eggs, which trttrounted to 11,352. In supposing this number of salmon to attain, iu twelve months 101b. the quantity of food produced by one salmon would be no less ' than 50 tons, id cwt. 4- llb.— equal to the product of 100 acres of wheat; at' 20 bushels per acre, when convirted into flbtir, at 561b. per bushel. 1 A numerous meeting, convened by public no- tice, was held lit the town hall", Tewkesbury, last week, for the purpose of forming a society for pro- curing a'rcgular supply of d'ifferrtit kinds of sea- fish, at a reasonable rate j! when resolutions were entered into calculated to insure that desirable object. On Tuesday last, Evan Jenkins was committed to our county gaol, by the Rt. Hon. Charles Batlmrst, charged Willi stealing a goose, the property of a per- son at Lidncy.— Tbe same day, George Triage, by the Rev. Sam. Coinineline, charged with stealing a waggon rope, the property of Henry Parker; of Tuf- tley.— And on Thnrsday, William Howell, by II. Burgh, II. Cooke,' and S. AVathcn, Esqrs: charged with stealing a quantity of coal from the wharf belong- ing to the Stroud Navigation Company. From the recent attempts at burglary in this city and its vicinity, there can be 110 doubt but a daring gang have taken up their winter abode in the neigh- bourhood; and we consider it a duty we owe to the public to put thcin on their gnArcf against these noc- turnal depredators. Early on Menday morning, the house of Air. liowycr, at King's Holm, was attempt- ed to be eiitetcd by some villains, but their noise alarming the family, they made a precipitate retreat. Other houses have likewise been attempted, and w e are happy to say, with no better success. The house of Mr. Fincher, of Tewkesbury, was broken into, ou Saturday night or Sunday morning, and a quantity of articles stolen therefrom : as was also the li6u. se of Mr. Causon, adjoining the Market- house, and a quantity ol" silver and coppel-, to the amount of bout 51. stolen therefrom. Several other houses have been attempted. On the night of the 5th inst. the dwelling- house of Mr. Siiiith, of Rnscomb, near Stroud, was broken into, and a quantity of guinea and 11. notes stolen from a tea- chest. As the offenders were making their escape, they dropped, and left in the window, one guinea, aud two 11. notes. On Sunday last, a fire broke out at Stanbrook House, in the parish of- Powick, Worcestershire, belonging to Dr. Briggs, The house had been under repair, and the accident is attributed to the neglect ofthe workmen employed, who had made fires ill it, and had not paid proper attention to them. Part only of one wing was consumed, with some of the fiirnituie. The property we understand, was psnred. The following particulars of the melancholy accident at Severn Stoke ( mentioned in our last) transpired on the Coroner's Inquest.—" Ou Thursday evening, between 6 and 7o'clock, as Sir. Howell, offlaynhall, was returning from Upon- on- Severn to Kempsey, in a taxed cart, with Miss Stone, the youngest maiden sister of the late John Stone, Esq. of Chambers Court, having passed the Boar's Head, at Severn Sloke, and turning the corner in the narrow part of the road, they suddenly met Ashmorc's Birmingham . aid Bristol roller waggon, and it being very dark, Mr. Howell called to the waggoner to keep his horses to him, but imagining he did not hear, he inclined to the left, and the cart striking a high part of the road, Mr. Howell and Miss Stone were instantaneously precipitated between the foi^ and hind off wheels of the ponderous machine. Miss Stone being nearest tiie hind wheel was pushed along on the clothes of Mr. Howell, and so crushed as to cause her immediate death. Mr. Howell escaped by holding tbe drug- chains till the waggon was stopped ; but his coat w as obliged to be cut off before he could be extricated from bis perilous situation ; be was a good deal bruised from the pressure, and his feelings on the occasion cannot be described. On Saturday morning an inquest was taken by Mr. Hill, Coroner, on view of the body of the unfoi tuiiate lady, when it appeared no blame could attach to the waggoner, who was in his proper situation, and that the accident was owing to the darkness oftlie evening.— Verdict, accidental death.— Deodands, as moving atl mortem, the waggon horses and tax- cart.— It is recommended that at night a light should be placed in the front of these waggons, as the height of the loading tends to in- crease darkness. On Tuesday and Wednesday was held, at their Rooms at Hetling- HouSc, the Anniversary of the " Bath and West of England Society for the encou ragement of Agriculture, Alts, Manufactures, and Commerce." On this occasion their President, Benj. Hobhotiae, Esq. M. P. was met by Lord Somerville, aud a most numerous assemblage of members from the western counties, and various oilier parts of the na- tion. The exhibition of live stock was uncommonly large and fine ; and several implements of husbandry, & c. produced for inspection, were found creditable to the different artists. Ou the whole, it was a most important annual meeting. The members dined to- gether each day at the White Hart, in that style of elegance and harmony, by which the Anniversaries of this Society have been ever distinguished. On Monday, Hannah Phillips, of Ledbury, was committed to prison for three months, charged with having used engines for ensnaring game. CAUTION.— William Nichols, keeper of the toll- gate at Littfcworth, near this city, has been convicted by the Magistrates in eight separate penalties of 51. each, for taking higher toll than prescribed by law. FATAL TEMERITY.— Saturday last two boys, each about twelve years of age, had the presumption to dare one another to a most dangerous act, at tbe mill of Mr. Hales, of Wixhall, near Prees, in Salop, namely, which should take up stones laid under the sails of it, while going with considerable velocity, in the short interval of time between sail and sail, as they came round ; lie who could perform it twice in that time was to be considered tbe hero of the day. In the attempt, however, one of them fell a victim to his lolly — he was struck down, and his dying agonies witnessed by his almost distracted parents. LORD FOLEY'S HOUNDS— Will meet on Monday, the 23d, at Oakeley Wood ; Thursday, the 26th, at Walsal Wood ; and on Saturday, the 28th, at Croome Perry Wood ; at ten o'clock each morning.

Upton- npon- Severn, Dec. 12, 1811. A STATEMENT OF FACTS. MR. GILBERT DAVIS, Fishmonger, of this City, having bad the temerity voluntarily to intrude himself on the Public notice through the channel of the Glocester Journal, the Party he has insulted, beg leave, through this medium, to submit fhe follow ing statement of filets, for the information of those who may be unacquainted with the circumstance that lias called forth the rancour of tbe Agressor in a recent iniquitous transaction. A few weeks since, a Barrel of Oysters, directed to Mrs. Powell, in the College- Green, were sent fiom London by Heath's Coach, on the 12th of November, agreeably to order, for the use of a small circle ot friends in the habit of meeting alternately at each other's house every fortnight. The Oysters not being received, as expected, on the 13th, enquiry was made at the Coach Office for them, but no satisfactory in- formation could then be obtained. On the following morning, a Barrel of very inferior Oysters, from those usually sent from the warehouse in London, were de- livered, with the same card of address w hich bad been affixed to the Barrel that arrived the preceding day, and might have been duly received, but for Davis's interference; who contrived to get possession of them, by what means it remains for him to prove, having undauntedly asserted, he did nut connive with the Por- ter, w hose deposition (*) before the Chief Magistrate, clearly proves the contrary, aud that Davis had bribed him to commit a breach of trust. On the morning the Oysters reached the College- Green, Mr. Mntlow's servant was sent to Davis's shop to purchase some article; while there, the circumstances that appear ill the following deposition ofthe servant tt) occurred, aud discovered Davis's nefarious practice, and the cause of the disappointment the party had ex- perienced. Complairt of the detention was im- mediately made to the Proprietor of the Coach, who, very properly, dismissed the Porter, making him pay a Guinea to the Infirmary; this punish- ment was not inflicted at the instigation of the party, who were totally unacquainted both with the dismissal, and forfeiture, till some days after it had taken place; it was then a subject of regret to them that the penalty had fallen on the least culpable of the parties concerned. It having been intimated, by Mr, Chad- wick, that Davis appeared conscious of having acted improperly, and expressed a readiness to apologise for his misconduct, those he offended ( little suspecting he would have added insult to injury,) were disposed to be lenient towards him, and accept his proferred excuse ; instead of the expected apology, the letter ( t) subjoined was received. The patty forbear all comment on the subject now before the public, Mr. Davis having sufficiently criminated himself, and been the author of l: is own disgrace. (*) WILLIAM HARRIS, of the City " of Glouces- ter, Labourer, npon his Oat1 s. ntli, That on lh « l: 1thday of November last past, he was Porter at Mr. Heath's Coach Office; that he was taking tbe Parcels out that came by the London Coach of that day, and among other Parcels he had a Basket of Fish directed to Gi1- bert Davis, Fishmonger, Glocester, and a Barrel of Oysters directed to Mrs. Powell, College Church- yard, Glocester; and this Informant upon his Oath further saith that he delivered to the said G Ibert Da- vis, at his dwelling- house, the said Basket Of Fish, aud al Ihe same time this Informant asked the said Gilbert Davis to tell him the direction of Ihe Barrel of Oy- sters, to which Davis, instead of giving this Informant an answer, replied, " It was just the thing as he ( Davis) wanted, and if this Informant would let him havu the Barrel of Oysters, he ( Davis,) had a Barrel of Oysters coming down from London by a Coach called the Telegraph Coach, on the morrow morning, and he, this Informant, should have them, and that Mrs. Powell would not know any thing at all about it, and them ( meaning the said Barrel of Ovsters which was coming down on the next morning,) would do as well for her," ( meaning the said Mi's. Powell.) And this Informant, upon his Oath further saith, that he then asked the said Gilbert Davis what Mr. Medhurst ( meaning the Book- keeper at Mr. Heath's,) would say, and Davis then said lie would pay this Informant for the Carriage of the Oysters, and then he, ( Mr. Medhnrst,) would not know any thing at ail about it. And this Informant then asked the said Gilbert Davis how the Barrel of Oysters so coining to him the next morning was lo he delivered to Mrs. Powell, to which the said Gilbert Davis then said he could take the di- rections off the Barrel so as aforesaid directed to the said Mrs. Powell, and put on the Barrel which was coming to him, ( Davis,) the next morning, and send them down by bis Girl; and this Informant then left the Barrel of Oysters at the Shop of the said Gilbert Davis.

Mutlow, of the City of Gloucester, Organist, npon her Oath saith, That on the fourteenth day of November last past, she was iu the shop of Gilbert Davis, Fishmonger, in Gloucester, on an errand for her Mistress, where she saw a Barrel of Oysters lying on the counter, di. rected for Mrs. Powell, College Green, Gloucester, when this Informant observed to Mrs. Davis that the Oysteis were expected yesterday, and Hiat it was a great disappointment, when Mrs. Davis said, " per- haps it was n good thing they were disappointed;" and immediately afterwards, the said Gilbert Davis came into the Shop and called to a Boy in the Street, and asked him if he could tell a lie? AVIien the Buy answered " Yes if you ( meaning Davis) wish me so to do." Upon which the said Gilbert Davis then fastened the nails in the head of the Barrel, anil Davis then said to the Boy, " Thee take this Barrel cf Oysters to Mrs. Powell's, in the Church- vard, near to Mr. Cheston's." And the Boy took the same, as this Informant believes, accordingly. MARIA ROBBINS. Sworn at the City of Gloucester aforesaid, this twen- tieth day of December, ill the year of our Lord, 1811.

MINUTES OF EVIDENCE. ( Continued from our lust.) JUNE 8, 1811. Then MARY CUNNINGHAM tea* called in, and having hi en sworn, was examined us follows: Were you ever in tlie service of Lady Berkeley as sempstress? Yes.— How many years have von left thai service > I believe it is thirteen vears as nearly as I can recollect ; it was in the year 1198.— How many vears did von live in Lord Ki t kelev's service as the sempstress"' 1 went into Lord Berkeley's service in the year 1793; in March 1793.— And continued in her service five years? Yes.— Being sempstress was it your business to attend to her Ladyship's linen ? \ es. — Did vou ever obseriein what manner Iter Ladyship s linen was marker!? Numbered only.— Can vou take upon yourself to sav whether there ever was during the time you were in her service, anv T. upon her linen > Never any whatever..— And you continued in her Ladyship's service attending to her linen in the way you have described froni 1793, when you entered her service, till 1798, when von quitted it.— Sometimes 1 attended upon her Ladyship, and sometimes upon the children, but that was the employment I was principally engaged in ; and that was the employment I was engaged in when I first went into the family.— Doyou mean lhat the employment you were chiefly elided in, was attention to the linen of I. ady Berke- ley and the family ? Yes.- Bv what name was Lady Berkeley called when you first entered into her ser- vice? When t first went into her service I did not. understand whether her Ladyship was married or no bv the person who sent me after tbe situation, but we always addressed her by the title of mistress.— When yon first entered into Lady Berkeley's service, did you ever hear the nameof Miss Tudor applied to Ladv Berkeley ? Yes.— Doting the latter part of your ser- vice was there any alteration made in the name ap- plied lo Ladv Berkeley ? H e was called Countess of Bei kelev before I left the family.— About how long before vou left the family ? As nearly as I can recol- lect it was in the latter part of 1797.— Do you mean thai the title of Lady Berkeley was a - pi ed to Lady Berkeley first in the la'ter part of 1797? In the latter part of that vear I. ady Berkeley was by some of tbe servants called bv that title, bv others by the name of Tudor, and Mistress, as she. had been before— Do you recollect by what name the ptesent Claimant Lord Berkeley ivas called when vou first went into the service ? Master Berkeley.— During the latter part of the service by what name or title was he called ? Lord Dursley.— Do you remember how long before you emitted the service the title of Lord Dursley was first fo . Master Berkeley? \ s nearly as I can recol- lect it was some short time after her Ladyship was called Ladv Berkeley.— You hare said that Lady Berkeley's linen was marked with numbers; doyou recollect any letter of anv sort ever appearing upon her Ladyship's linen? There was no mark upon her linen, except some few pocket handkerchiefs which were marked M — Do you recollect whether any alter- ation with regard to the marks upon her Ladyship's linen took place after she '< as called Lady Berkeley ? Not for some time after.— Was there any alteration at any time during your seivice? Yes, 1 believe ii was nearly a twelvemonth after, when we came to London ; the Hist thing I marked for Lady Berkeley was stock- ings, which were marked with It, and a coronet.— About what time in the year 1798 was it that you quitted Lady Berkeley's service ? The after end of Slay or the beginningof June, I do not recollect which — You are understood to say that Ladv Berkeley was first called Lady Berkeley tbe latter part of 1797 ? Yes.— And you quilted in May 1798 ? Yes.— Then a year could not ha> e elapsed between the latter part of 1797 and . Mav 1798 ? I will endeavour to recollect. The latter part of 1796, when we were at Berkeley Castle, her Ladyship was then called by some of the servants by that title; but by her old servants she was called bv the name she had been usua'ly called by; but in 1797 she w as generally called Lady Berkelev.— You having left the service of Lady Berkeley in May 1798, about how long before that time was it that this change took place in the name or letter upon Lady Berkeley's linen ? I think it was in the beginning of 1797. Lady Berkeley never purchased any stockings liut when we came to town, consequently she had them when she came to town in 1797, and they were then marked with the It and the coronet.— Were you employed, on the occasion of ties change of the mark upon the linen, in picking out any letter or nu'mber oft an v sort on the linen? Never.— Was any othei^ per- son iii Lady Berkeley's service, or otbern ise, sojCf m- ploved to your knowledge ? Never. I never recollect seeing the most trivial thing of Lady Berkeley's marked with T.— Was there any oth r person ill I . ad v Berkeley's service whose duty it wouid have been to have picked it out except yourself as sempsti ess ? 1 was employed as sempstiess ; the marks in any linen would have been sent to me to have been picked out.— Is it to be understood that there was any other person ill Lady Berkeley's service who iiouhi have been so employed except yourself? I do not think any other pei son would have been so employed, nor do I recol- lect anv other person; nor was there anything of Lady Berkeley's, neither old, neither new, from Ihe time of my going into the house, marked with any T. that I saw. Cross- examined. You do not lire with Lady Berkeley now ? No.— Have you seen her Ladyship lately ? 1 saw her a few days ago.— On what occasion ? 1 was sen! for respect- ing the linen being marked. Her Ladyship knew I was the only person who cou < 1 give an answer to it.— Had you any conversation with her Ladyship upon ii ? Nothing more than merely to say, could I recollect anything of the kind. I told her Ladyship I could not, as there never was anything marked with T.— Was that t. ie fust mention of T. that you mentioned that you could not recollect any tiling marked with it, were you tbe first person who mentioned it? Lady Berkeley herself mentioned it; 1 did not know upon whatocea sion 1 was sent for to her Ladyship.— Lady Berkeley mentioned the circumstance of the T. and enquired about it? She inquired whether I could rccollect such a circumstance taking place, as any ofher linen being marked with a T. I told her Ladyship I was confident it nevei was.— When was it this passed with Lady Berke- ley ? I believe it was on Monday last.— That was the wiioleof what passed with Lady Berkeley ? Yes.— No- thing more? Nothing more.— I) id she desiie you to be a w itness ? She asked rne if I wouid certainly say that it was not mai ked. I told her I could positively say it never was mai ked with a T.— This was the first time that brought it to your recollection. You never were asked befoie? No, I never was, nor never gave it a* thought before.— What was the sort of employment you had in her Ladyship's service ? Sometimes I at- tended upon her Ladyship, aud sometimes upon the children.— When you attended upon the children who took care of the linen? Mrs, Chapman.— Any body else besides her ? No.— Was Mrs. Chapman a servant in the house ? Yes.— In what capacity ? She attended upon Lady Berkeley.— When you were employed in the care of tbe children Mrs. Chapman used to take care of the liuen ? Yes.— Was there any oilier person besides Mrs. Chapman used to take care of her Lady- ship's linen? No; no other person that had the care of seeing to the linen being properly attended lo.— At whatpeiiod was it you took caieof the children when Mrs. Chapman took care of the linen? When Mrs. Chapman first came into the family she for a short time took care of the linen, and I attended on Lady Berkeley and the children.— When was that? I do not exactly recollect in v\ hat year she came.— Can you sav about what time it was lhat Mrs. Chapman earne into the family? It might be about 1795; but I cannot say exactly— Can you remember how long it was af- ter you yourself came into the service, which you have stated to be in March 1793? 1 think I had been there three yeais. 1 cann a exactly say.— That would bring it to the year 1796? I cannot exactly say.— JOo you beliere it was about three years? It could not be so much, if it brings it to 1796.— Why, if it brings it to 1796, could not it. What makes you remember it was not in 1796? Because 1 am certain from the time Mrs. Chapman was there, it must have been earlier.— What makes you say it could not be in 1796 ? I have no par- ticular reason ; but only I think Mrs. Chapman must have bten there earlier.— You said at first you thought it was about three years, but when you found that brought it to 1796. you said vuu thought it could not be so long. Why could it not be so long, if that brings it to 1796? For this reason— I was longer an inmate in the fainilv with Mrs. Chapman than two vears, and 1 left in 1798— You said that the interval before the B was put upon tbe linen was about a yeai 9 About a year; I believe it was in tbe beginning of 1797.— What was in the beginning of 1* » 97 > When her Ladyship's stockings, » Inch were the first things 1 marked with the B. and the coronet.— What part of 1797 ? In the beginning ofthe year, when . we were in London, which might be iu May or JUNE; 1 cannot recollect which ; it was when we were iu Loudon.— Might it be earlier than Mav or June ? It inighthein April; 1 cauuot ex. tictly say, but it was when we were come to London for the spring.— Do you remember what month you ( lid come to London in 1797 ? It was late in theyear, for I. ady Berkeley's children had been ill, and we had been detained longer at Berkeley Castle than ive usu- ally were ; therefore it might be in March or April.— What time did you come in general? I believe gene- rally in the beginning of March, or the latter end of February.— This year it was rather later ? Yes.— Do you remember how much later it was ? I cannot ex- actly say, hut. when we went to Berkeley Castle, Lady Berkeley said we were to stay only six weeks, but we were near six months on account of her Ladyship's iliness ; and when she was recovered, the children had the small pox, which detained us still longer.— Can you fix the precise month? I cannot.— It might be March, or April, or May ? 1 cannot say which it was — Did not you say it was in the latter part of 1796 she was called by some of the servants Lady Berkeley } In the latter part of 1796 by some ofthe servants, but in 1797 she was generally called so as well as I can re- collect.— What part of 1797 was she generally called so? I cannot exaetly say.— The beginning, middle, or latter end ? I cannot say.— Where was it that in 1796 some of the servants called her Lady Berkeley ? At Berkeley Castle.-- The female servants of the fa- milv or the male ? By the old servants either male or female.— Doyou mean that the old servants called her Lady Berkeley ? The servants who had been in the fa- mily some time.— Was it bv any direction from any botlv that those servants who had been some time in the family called her Lady Berkeley in 1796? I had no particular directions to call her by that title, but it was said in the family in general, that she was tobe called mistress by her'old servants, but Lady Berke- ley by the new ones.— Those servants who had been some time in the family used before that time to call her Miss Tudor; did they not ? I never addressed her or spoke of her as Miss Tudor, merely as mistress or ma'am.— From the first of your going there ? Yes ; I never recollect saying to any person, Miss Tudor, in my life.— Did none of the servants, from 1793 to 1796, speak of her as Miss Tudor ? I never heard her spoken of as Miss Tudor. There was no occasion to mention net- as Miss Tudor one servant with another; we called her mistress or ma'am to each other.— Had you never occasion to hear, from 1793 to 1796, any one servant in the family, male or female, speak ofthe Lady ofthe family by her name? I never did myself.— You nerei heard any servant in the family in that interval, from 1793 to 1796, mention her name ? ' They might, but I cannot recollect that they ever dill call her Miss Tu- dor in my hearing.— When she was not present, and they yvere speaking of her, did you nevei hear any of them name the name of the mistress ? By the name of " The Mistress."— You never heard any one of them speak of the mistress by her name ? 1 cannot recollect having heaid any one of the servants speak of her as Miss Tudor; they would speak of her . as " Yonr Mis- tress." or " My ' Mistress."— Do . you mean to state, 011 your oath, that no one servant ever mentioned the name of the Lndv of the family by her name? I can- not recollect it.— Did yon ever hear Mis. Trice speak of her? Yes.— By what name? I have heard Mrs. Price speak of her as Miss Tudor; but she was not reckoned as a servant; she was governess, aud diffe- rent from any other servant in the house.— Those that uere not servants, that occasionally attended at the house, did you hear how thev addressed her in the in- terval between 1793 aud 1796? As Miss Tudor.— In the tatier end of 1796, were there any alteration made in the name by which the servants used to speak of their mistress? In the latter part of 1796, her Lady- snip was called by the new servants that entered the familv. bv the title of Lady Berkeley.— \ nd by the old servants ? As mistress.— Did the old servants call her My Lady after that? In 1797. — In the beginning of 1797? I do not recollect at w hat paitof the year.— Th, ne, iv sen ants spoke of her as My Lady, anil Your Ladyship? Yes.—- You mean the servants that had not " been in the house before ? Yes.— Was there any thing besides the stockings which were marked with the B. and a coronet about 1796? I do not rccollect am tiling. If her Ladyship had any new linen, she would nave it marked of course; but t recollect the stockings perfectly.— Cannot > ou recollect bow any of the linen after 1797— ani ofthe other articles, besides stock- ings, were marked after that time, and before vou left the service? If her Ladyship had any new linen, it was marked with a B. and a coronet; but I cannot certify thai there was any; if she bad any it would be so marked. He- examined. Was there any other person except Mrs. Chapman who was employed about Lady Berkeley's linen be- sides yourself, while you were in the service ? No. — You stated in one answer, that the persons who first callcd Lady Berkeley her Ladyship or Lady Berke- ley, were the old servants ; you afterwards stated, that the persons who called her Lady Berkeley were the new servants; was the first a mistake? That " was a mistake. Examined Inj the Lords. Do yon remember when the family removed from Berkeley Castle directing all the linen and things to be packed up aud brought away? Oh, never; Lady- Berkeley alw ays left something at every house where we were; whatever was not wanted, it was usual, when we were going, to leave in the house where we were, Berkeley Castle, Cranford, or London, to ask Lady Berkeley, what she would have taken with her, and what she would have left.— At Berkeley Castle, was it customary when yon came away, to leave a part o< the line j, and some of the things behind ? Certainly.— You have stated, that Lady Berkeley was ill in the month of January 179? ? Yes.— Dp yon recollect Lady Berkeley's brother Mr. Tudor coming down at that time? Yes.— Were you at Weymouth with the family in 1797? Yes.— In what capacity did you go there? did you go attending any of the children? I went as sempstress.— Was Thomas More- ton Fitziiardinge there? Yes.— Did the same ser- vants attend hiin and the elder children ? There were two or three servants in the nursery to attend upon the children.— Did the children always go out toge- ther ? Always; there was no distinction in the chil- dren.— None at all? None at all.— Did von go with them to walk ? Sometimes, but not ottcn; I was employed at my needle.— Do you remember the King's taking notice of any of the children ? I never was there at that time.— Was Lord Berkeley's family at Weymouth in the year 1796? No, not in 1796; in 1796 the family was at Seaford, Little Hampton, and Seaford.— Do you remember Lord Berkeley's giving a fete to the King at Weymouth; a breakfast? A breakfast, I believe.— In what year ? I do not recol- lect whether it was tbe first or second time I was at Weymouth.— What year were you there for the first time? The first year I was in the family we were at Little Hampton; the second year at Purbrook House; the third we were at Weymouth ; the fourth we were at Seaford; and the fifth at Weymouth.- Was it the first or second time of Lord Berkeley's being at Weymouth that the fete was given ? I cannot recollect which of the times it was.— Do you know whether the children were present at that entertainment? I cannot posi- tively say, whether the children were or were not.— Was Lady Berkeley there at the entertainment? Upon my word I cannot say whether she was or was not; I was employed at my needle; several times Lady Berki ley went out, and there were things pas- sed which I know nothing of.— Yon say that the linen was left at Berkeley Castle; do you mean the house- hold linen or the body linen? Lady Berkeley's own linen, sometimes the children's linen, and sometimes some part of the servants' linen.— Were there orders ever given to the servants to leave part of their linen ? There were no orders given either way ; Lady Berke- ley told us to take no more than we generally wanted; Crauford was the place of my residence, therefore I did » o£ take more to Berkeley Castle than what I should take away.— Do you recollect what Mrs, Chap- man's christian name was? Sarah.— Do you know where Mrs. Chapman lives now? She is in the House ; she lives in Everitt- strcet, I believe.— Did yon under- stand by the order, that you were not to take more linen than you could help to Berkeley Castle ? Oh, 110 ; only that we should not fill the trunks when we were coming from any house, whether Spring Gardens, Cranford, orBeikeley; any thing that could be left was to be left; if her Ladyship took off any of the children's eloaths, that would not be wanted till win- ter, they were always left at Berkeley Castle. The witness was directed to withdraw. Then SARAH SHRUBB was called in, and hating heen sworn, was examined as follows: Do you keep au > un at Benson ? yes.— IIow long have you kept that iiin? Nineteen years in July.— The White Hart? Yes.— Were the Berkeley family iu the habit of calling at that time? Yes, they were. — Did the children, among others, use to call there ? Yes And the governess with the children ? Proba- bly she might; I do not recollect her personally.— You recollect that the children bad female servants with them ? Yes, always nurses and servants— As long as you can recollect, what have you heard the female servants who attended the children call Lady- Berkeley ? Lady Berkeley, and never by any other name.— Did you ever hear any governess or person attending the children, call her by the name of Miss Tudor? Never.— Do yon recollect any letters being left by the governess? Yes, not by the governess particularly, but by the servants; probably by the governess; they were not left with me but with my female servants, and given to me after the family had passed on.— Are those female servants here ? No, they are not.— Are those servants dead? Yes, they are dead.— To whom w; ere those letters addressed ? To Lady Berkeley always.— Was there ever to your re- collection, any letter left there addressed to Miss Tudor ? Never, nor by any other person; I never heard the name of Tudor tiil I saw it in the papers. Cross- examined. What year is it you speak of your acquaintance commencing in? I really cannot say the date.— About as near as yon can fix it? It is nineteen years ago in July since I first knew the family, and I believe every year they have been twice, sometimes three or four times, passing and repassing.— Did they use to stay a night there ? Not for the first five or six years they did not; I believe they may have slept once or twice during those years; but I believe for the last eleven or twelve years they have slept there.— For the last eleven or twelve years you speak of your having heard them speak ofthe mistress principally ? Yes, it is, and before that I have heard them. I have asked how long my Lady Berkeley has passed through, pre- vious to the last eleven years.— Before the last eleven or twelve years did they, except in one or two in- stances, stop longer than to change horses ? I believe they slept once; I recollect their sleeping once at our house with an infant that was very ill. I think that must be as much as fifteen or sixteen years ago ; that is the only time I recollect.— Except that once, was the occasion of calling at your inn for any other pur- pose than to change horses in their journey ? No; they have sometimes stopped and ate some mutton chops, Lady Berkeley, with my Lord, and the boys, while the horses have been putting to.— Arc you to be understood, that what you speak of the denomina tion by the servants of the mistress's name, princi- pally relates to the last eleven or twelve years? Yes, I think it was. He- examined. Did yon ever, from the beginning, hear them speak of her as Miss Tudor ? Never. I never heard the name pf TuJor relative to Lady Berkeley's fami- ly, till 1 saw it in the public papers.— Although they did not sleep at your honse till within the last fifteen years ? I think the first time may have been fifteen years ago ; I recollect the child was very ill, and they travelled with their own horses. They were two or three days in going down to Berkeley Castle— Do yon recollect by what name they called her when they slept at yonr house fifteen years ago ? Lady Berke- ley.— Upon occasions previous to that on winch they stopped at your house, did they call her Lady Berke- ley ? Always; every servant that ever stopped for ihe nineteen years had always called her so. I recol- lect them as one of the oldest families at our house. The witness was directed to withdraw. Then RACHAEL BOUI. TON was called in. and having been sworn, was examined as follows: You keep an inn? Yes.— Where is it? At Far- ringdon in Berkshire.— That is in the roatl from Berkeley to London ? Yes. - Did Lord Berkeley use to go to your house? Yes.— How long is it since I( or, l and Lady Berkeley used to call at your house oil the roadjf, I can recollect fis long as nineteen years.— Did they stop for the purpose of changing horses only? For the purpose of changing horses. They have slept there, bnt I cannot pretend to say the time.— Yon cannot say how often ? No, I can- not.— What was the name that the present Lady Berkeley used to goby? Lady Berkeley.— Did you ever know her called by any otlier name ? Never ill my life.— Did the children use to call at your bouse ? Yes.— Any governess with them? There might have been, not to distinguish the governess from the others. — By what name did the servants call her ? I have heard the name of Price.— As applied to whom? To some of the servants, but I cannot recollect which.— Did any of the servants ever call the present L.. dy Berkeley by the name of Tudor? Never, in my hear- ing.— Or ever speak of her as by the name of Tudor ? No, never.— Not during any part of the nineteen years, the beginning or the latter part of it? No, never. — Did you ever hear Lord Berkeley speak to lice, or of her ? I have heard him say, " Won't you alight, my Lady." The witness was directed to withdraw. Then MARY RICHARDS was called in, and having been sworn, was examined « is folic ws: Is your father living ? Yes.— Where does he live ? At Oxford now.— Did he ever keep an inn railed the Crown and Thistle at Abingdon? Yes.— How many years ago did he leave that inn? About three- and three quarters.— How many years, as far as you re- member, did he live in that iun ? He lived there fourteen years.— Do you ever remember that inn being frequented by the late Lord Berkeley and Lady Berkeley? Yes, I perfectly remember it.— Did yon yourself ever see Lord and Lady Berkeley at the inn ? Yes ; they never came but I saw them.— Do you ever remember any governess attending tbe children? I do not recollect any governess in particular; I remem- ber that there was a governess.— Do you remember a governess of the name of Price ? I recollect the name very well, but should not know her if I was to see her. — By what title or name was Lady Berkeley called at your father's inn at Abingdon whenever she came there? Her Ladyship was never addressed by any other name than Lady Berkeley in my hearing.— Are you sore that in your hearing you never In aid Lady Berkeley addressed by tbe name of Tudor? I am quite certain. — Or called by that name by any of the servants ? I am quite certain I never heard her called by any other name than Lady Berkeley.— Do you recollect whether Lady Berkeley used to come to the inn at the same time with the governess and children, or the governess and children first ? The governess and children generally preceded Lord and Lady Berkeley.— Dill they also leave tbe inn before Lord and Lady Berkeley arrived? Yes.— Do yoti recol- lect on the governess ami children leaving the inn any letter was ever left for Lady Berkeley ? Very often they left one.— Do you recollect whether any such letter was ever left by the governess whose name yon remember to have been Price? I cannot exactly say whether it was by the governess, but it was given out of the carriage when they stopped.— Was it so given out of the carriage when the governess was in tlie carriage ? I cannot take upon myself to say the go- verness was in the carriage, but I always thought she was in the carriage.— Did this happen frequently or once only, that a letter was left by the party consist- ing of the governess and children ? More thap once, frequently.— Do yon recollect in what manner those letters were addressed ? Always in the name of Berke- ley, either Lady Berkeley or the Countess of Berke- ley.— Are you sure you never saw a letter of that sort addressed to Miss Tudor? I am certain I never did. — You have stated that your father left this inn about three years and three quarters since ? Yes. - And tliat he lived in it about fourteen years ? Yes.— Do you recollect Lady berkeley frequenting the house during the whole time your father resided in that inn ? Yes, I recollect it perfectly well, from the 1st January 1794.— From that time to the time of your father quitting the inn, was it, as far as you recollect, til- practice of the party, consisting of the governess and children, generally to leave a letter of the sort you have described for Lady Berkeley ? I cannot take upon myself to remember so long ago concerning the' letters, as 1794; bnt from 1797 I can take upon my- self to say that.— Do you undertake to say, that from 1797 to the time your father quitted, such a letter as you have described, was frequently left for Lady- Berkeley ? Frequently, but by whom I cannot say ; I always thought it was by the governess; when her Lady- Ship came, she used to ask for letters.— Were those letters delivered to her Ladyship? Always when they were left.— Is your father now in health? No, I left him very ill in bed.— Is he in such a state of health that he could attend before their Lordships ? I am certain he could not, without endangering himself. Cross- examined. This was the early part of 1794, that she was Lady Berkeley ? Ever since I can remember; ever since we took the house.— At this time when they were keeping the marriage secret, she was called Lady Berkeley- ? I know nothing of keeping the marriage secret; I know she was called by that name. Re- examined. Did you ever at your father's house hear her called any thing but Lady Berkeley ? Never. Examined by the Lords. Was there any direction to put these letters to Lady Berkeley into the post? No, thty were to be given to Lady Berkeley on her arrival. The witness was directed to withdraw. Then THOM AS BEI, L was again called in at his men request to explain a purt of his evidence. I wish, with your Lordships' permission, to make a little correction In the evidence I bad the honour to give here yesterday. The first circumstance is iu giving a description of the picture that Mrs. Bell painted of the present Lord Berkeley's brothers. I believe I stated ofhis brothers Frederick and Augus- tus ; the fact is, there is only one of the brothers in the picture; therefore, if your Lordships will per- mit me to say Frederick or Augustus, or take out Augustus altogether. The next is in the answer to a question ; I was asked, " What articles I dealt in besides leather?" I answered, " Osnaburghs and sail cloths." I wish to put it generally Scotch linens.— Do you remember about the time of the expedition to the Helder, stating, that you were about to send some saddles to the Helder ? I have no such recol- lection.— You do not remember that ? No; I do not. In point of fact did you ever send any saddles to the Helder? I never did. The witness was directed to withdraw. Then SARAH CHAPMAN was called in, and having been sworn, was examined us follows: Did you ever live in the service of Lord Berke- ley ? Yes ;, I did.— When did you go into that family r In 1795.— What was your situation ? I went into the family as sempstress.— Do you recollect how, when you went into the family first in 1795, Lady Berke- ley's linen was marked? It was numbered Was there any mark upon it at all? A figure.— Was there any letter? No letter whatever.— Are you sure that - he letter T. was not upon it? The letter T. was never there.— How long did you continue ill the family ? Thirteen years.— Do yon recollect when any .. Iteration was first made in the mark on the linen ? I cannot state the exact time ofthe alteration being made; I perfectly recollect the alteration.— How many years was it after you went into the family? It might be three years; two or three years; I cannot Say exactly the time.— You went into the family in 1795? Yes..-- What time of the year? In May 1795, — Was it more than two years after that time ? I rather think it was; but I cannot be more positive. - What was the alteration yon made? A coronet, and M. and B.— Did you assist in making any of those alterations? Probably I might. I frequently did mark the linen.— Was there any T, upon it then ? No T. whatever; I never saw a T. upon the linen.— When you added the coronet, and the M. and B. was there any mark taken out ? I do not recollect any nark being taken out. I rather think the coronet and M. and IL was put oil new linen.— Is it to be understood that all the marks oil the old linen were suffered to stand? I have no recollection of any mark being taken out.— Do you recollect the family leaving Berkeley Castle to go to London at, any time ? Not at one time more than another The family of course must have gone to London from the Castle several times during your continuance? Several times; and sometimes two or three times ir> the course of tlv year.— Were any directions given on those occasions to take away the linen from the Castle? No particular directions that I can recollect, any more than taking away the linen, packing it up in the Castle iu the same way as in any other place.— Yon know Mr. Carringto i ? Perfectly well.— Mr. Carrington lived iu the family at the time you are speaking of, or part of it? Yes, he did— Did Mr. Carrington travel with the family, or go before them ? That I cannot say.— Do you know Lord Berkeley's dressing room ? Yes, I do.— From the situation of that room in the Castle, would there he any occasion to put blinds to the win lows, to prevent persons seeing what those in that room were doing? There was always a blind at I the window.— Wliat sort of a blind? When I first went into tbe family it was a canvass blind, after- wards a muslin curtain was put up.— Whether there was any blind at the window or not, from the situation of that room, could any person see a considerable distance into the room from any other room ? If there bad been no blind, they might have seen.— Do you mean that they could see into the w iudow or over the room ? I rather think they might see through the whole room, if there had been no blind.— Do you, during the whole time yon were there, remember any difference in the blind that was there? I never re member any difference after the muslin curtain was put up.— When was that put up? That I cannot exactly state.— Except the change from the blind to the muslin curtain, you remember no other diffe- rence ? I never remember any other difference with respect to the blind.— Do yon remember Mrs. Price quitting the family? Yes, I do.— Did yon make any particular observation on Mrs. Price, at the time of her quitting the family ? I remember Mrs. Price appeared to be very much displeased, the day before she left the family.— Did Mrs. Price express herself angry with anybody ? I cannot state any thing she said upon the subject, but she appeared to be much displeased.— How did she shew her anger ? Her coun- tenance expressed it. Cross- examined. Till very lately, was your attention called to the precise date when the alteration in tile linen took place? I cannot state the precise date when the alteration took place in the linen, I believe it was two or three years after I was in tiie family.— Was your attention ever called to that subject, so as to imprint it on your memory till very lately? None whatever; there is no circumstance to impress it upon my memory.— Now that you have endeavoured to recollect, is there any one circumstance which enables you to say whether it was one, two, or three years ; that impresses it upon your memory ? There is no circumstance that would enable nit to state the exact time the alteration took place.— You were iu the service the latter end of the year 1796, of course, and the beginning of 1797 ? Yes, I was.— Do you recollect, at that time, the new servants that came into the family calling her by the name of Lady Berkeley, or my Lady ? In 17961 believe they might; the latter part of 1796 I believe they might.— Was not it about that time, the latter part of 1796, that the alteration in the linen took place? I could not state the exact time the alteration took place in the linen.— Was it about that time ? It might be about that time, or it might be iu 1797; I cannot state wore exactly with respect to the pld linen.— Was then- i,- the old linen added a coronet? Probably there might to ' some of the old linen; but that I cannot e'xaetlv state.'— Was there not also tbe letter B. put upon it? Wl| en the . coronet was put the letter B. wis put.— Upon the, new linen, at the same time, stoi kings or other articles, there were put at the same time the letfcij B, and tbe coronet? The coronet and the letti r B. j Oil lief- ladyship's linen the coronet and M. B.— Hid there been oil any of Lady- Berkeley's linen before that lime, either B. or a coronet?

Yes, and there was a 100111 011 the other side ; there were three rooms leading one from the other.— Which door was generally locked ? It depended on where they were ; I never knew the door locked, except1 to keep tbe children away. The witness was directed to withdraw. ( TO BE CONTINUED.) LANCASTRIAN SCHOOLS. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. " SiR- It having been stated thai I have subscribed 101. to the Luucasterian Schools in Oswestry, I desire you to let the real fact be known; which is, that on s emg that Mr. Staton, the Manager of the P ay- house there, had advertised a benefit night f ir the Schools of the Established Church in Oswestry, I sent him wl. for that laudable object; and should deeply regret that anv should supppose that I was Ihe least disposed to encourage Mr. Lancaster as a National Instructor. " I wish to take the opportunity to recommend to the perusal of all wh • wash more " information on the. subject, the eleventh Number ofthe " Quarterly Re- view," and the first of the" British Review." " I. have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient humble Servant, " Nov. 25. " KENYON." From the 11th Number of The Quarterly licciew, referred to in the above letter, we make the following quotation.— It is a most decisive one. " A State is secure in proportion as the subjects are attached to tbe iaws and institution* of heir country : it ought, therefore, to he the first and paramount busi- ness of the State to provide that the subjects shall be educated conformably to those institutions : that they shall be " trained up 111 the wiy thev should go;" that is, iu attachment to the National Government, and National Religion. The system of English policy consists of Church and State: they are the two pillars of the Temple of'our prosperity ; they must stand to- gether or fill! together; and the fall of either would draw after it the ruin of the finest fabric ever yet rear ed by human wisdom under divine fav,- r. Now to propose a system of iiatpmaleducaiinij( Lancaster's), of which it is the aV wed and distinguishing principle that the children shall not be educated in the national religion, is to propose what is palpab- y absurd. This position is irrefragably stated by Dr. Herbert Marsh. " The religion by law established," he says, " must always lie regarded as the national religion. But in every country the national education must be conducted 011 the principles of the national religion. For a violation ot this rule would involve, not only an absurdity, liut a nrmciple of self- destiuciion ; it would counteract by authority what it enjoins by au- thority." In compliance witii tne request of several profes- sional correspondents, we are induced to insert the following, addressed To ihe Proprietors of the Law Chronicle. GENTLEMEN,— Considering all kinds of quackerv ( and, more particularly, in the three professions), as very injurious to the public, I was much pleased to see, by the provincial papers in Gloresteishire, that the gentlemen of tiie law have formed themselves into a society, for the purpose of punishing the in- truders into that profession; and likewise to find, from conversing with some of those gentlemen, that not only the invader, who must receive assistance* from a regular practitioner, but tbe legal practitioner also, who so far forgets himself, as to aid and abet such im- proper person, are equally objects of their notice. The gentlemen of the law are certainly entitled to much praise, for starting a thing likely to be pro- ductive of such GENERAL GOOD; for although the empiric ill the law, wlm hath only the purse und pro- perty of the employer, under his management, cannot work so serious an evil as the empiric iu physic, who hath the life of the patient in his hands, yet in the law the evil is very great; tbr many persons ( and even those who are respected, I cauuot say respectable) too often descend to en- ploy an irregular practitioner, for sake of saving ( as they erroneously suppose) a few shillings, not considering ( and a moment's reflection would be sufficient to convince any man of common) sense), that the abilities of professional men cau only- he TRULY' judged of, by their own professional bre- thren ; and that a man's happening to do right, op perhaps what is oftener the case, his doing wrong nor being discovered, is no proof of his ability. Were men or honour and real ability, always employed, how many nauseous prescriptions, both iu law and physic,, would be avoided, aud what sumsot money would be ACTUALLY saved? Ill- advised law- suits, ami ineffectual conveyances, which produces law- suits, would then rapidly decrease, whilst the regular practitioner would beas amply, and much more creditably supported. As for conveyances, it is a wonder the Legislature suffers instruments of such consequence to be made " jy any person under the degree of an attorney. I feel my- seif indebted to tlie gentlemen oftlie law, for the hint of a society , and now sincerely hope, that the medical practitioners in every county, will immediately follow their worthy example; and although the latter have not the advantage, the former have, of being drawn together'iu their professional concerns, at certain, periods, yet the channel far communication is always open.
