Tuesday morning were received the Paris Papers of Saturday last, aud on Wednesday those of Sunday. " Nuremberg, April 5. — " An article on the ( ravels of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales contains the following details : — " Her Court is composed of the following persons —- The Countess Oldi, of Cremona ; Dr. Mochetti ; the Chevalier Schiavini, Master ot the Horse, Mr. Haunam, an Englishman, Pri- vate Secretary ; several footmen servants, < Xre " The Princess bought of the Countess Pino the country- house near the lake of Como, iu which she resides. It has received, by her or- ders, a number of expensive embellishments. Select company, exeu sions by land and on the water, a private theatre, and evening concerts form her innocent- amusements." " Several reports having been spread with respect to two odious attempts on the Princess of Wales, she has thought proper to publish the facts. At Genoa several armed men penetrated during.'- the night into the Princess's apart- ments. They had nearly reached her bedcham- ber, w hen her servants, being aroused, tired on then. They escaped, and no tiace of them has eve. been discovered. The other affair hap- pened in the country house of Como. A cer- tain Baron , bribed a groom, named Crede, to introduce himsecretiy In means of false keys, into the closet. The plot was discovered, and the groom dismissed. The man afterwards wrote to the Chevalier Tomassia, confessing that he had been seduced by Baron . The Princess communicated the affair to the Go- venor General, Count Saura, who gave orders to Baron to quit the Austrian territory. " The Secretary Haunam challenged Baron ; but tile Baron has hitherto contrived, under various pretexts, to postpone the meeting. " The Chevalier Sciavini is charged with the arrangement oftlte travels of the Princess iu the East." - Quotidienne " Paris, May 9, — The King went to day at at four o'clock. His Majesty proceeded to St. Cloud bv Vaugiratd. He returned by the Bois lie Boulogne and the Champs- Elysees ; and at six o'clock re- entered his palace " Mag II.— Madame Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely has been conveyed to the private hos- pital belonging to Dr. Puziz, at Chaillot. " Letters from Vienna announce the intelli- gence of the approaching journey of the Prince de Metternich to Rome. " Bordeaux, May 6. — Several individuals will be brought to- day before the Extraordinary Court of Assize, charged with being the authors, ac- complices, favourers, or adherents ofa plot hav- ing for its object— the destruction of the legiti- mate government, the alteration of the order of succession to the Throne, and the exciting of the citizens to take up arms agaiusl the royal authority. " In the indictment drawn up against the ac- cused persons, the Procureur- General declares, that the result of the evidence on the subject is— ' That these men, who thought they disco- vered in the confusion and distraction of their country, a means of escaping from the obscurity in which they found themselves, had conceived the frightful project of replacing Fiance under an odious yoke. ' On the faith of an adventurer, without any other guide than a blind imprudence, without any other lie of attachment to each other than their common hatred of the legitimate Sove- reign ; they did not hesitate to engage in this criminal undertaking'. ' Bordeaux was the focus of the conspiracy. It was in that city that the first movements were to be made. ' The plan of the conspirators was to unite by a secret association the discontented, the ene- mies of the Bourbon Government aud the parti- sans of Buonaparte; and to form, in various other parts of the kingdom, societies, animated by the same sentiments, and whose operations were to be combiued with those of the traitors at Bordeaux." " The numbers are 28. '* French Funds, 68; Bank Actions, 1350." Wednesday morning were received a series of Calcutta Papers from the I7th Oct. to the 14th Nov. inclusive, from which we have made some interesting extracts. Most of them relate to the warfare carried on between some of the Mah- ratta Chiefs. But this kind of warfare has not disturbed the tranquillity or security of our pos- sessions. ludeed, the more these Chiefs weaken themselves by hostilities with each other, the less able of course will they be to afford us any apprehension. The Marquis of Hastings, it was supposed, would proceed upon another tour to the Upper Provinces. There has been much sickness in these Provinces; and the Bombay Papers say, it has spread to the western side of India, hav- ing given rise to a dreadful fever in Kattywar; in one district of which the deaths are said to have exceeded twenty- five daily. The fever was deemed contagious, aud its progress wis so alarming, that the Bombay Government had judged it necessary to take precautionary mea- sures lo intercept its transmission along the coast. If was hoped that the setting ill of the cold sea- sou would be productive of beneficial effects. SOUTH AMERICA. . ,, A Boston Paper of April the 2d, Contains the following intelligence :— That on the 4th March a sloop arrived at Jaquemel from Barcelona in Venezuela, with information : That on the 15th February, General Bolivar was attacked near Barcelona by the Royalist General Morillo, with 4,000 regulars from Car- thagena, & c. assisted with the whole Spanish naval force ou the coast ; aud that the battle lasted the whole day with various results. That on the 16th, Bolivar intrenched himself in Barcelona, and was five times furiously at- tacked by the Royalists, fiut succeeded in gal- lantly repulsing them every time ; and on the evening of the 16th, perceiving the Spanish squadron advancing, he set fire to his squadron in port, which was consumed, and incorporated Ihe marines, 500 iu number, with his troops. He then explained to his army the necessity which compelled liini to order the destruction of his squadron, and informed them they had , no alternative but to conquer or die. His ad- dress was answered with three cheers. That on the 17th, General Bolivar was again attacked by laud and sea, but without effect, and iu the night the Royalists threw up intrench- ments, which were attacked by Bolivar sword in hand, at the head of his troops, and Ihe Royalists were driven therefrom with great slaughter. Being at the same time joined by General Marino, General Bolivar was enabled to put the Royalists to flight ; — and that when the ship sailed ( the 18th) two battalions had joined Bolivar, arid the revolutionary army was in high spirits, confident in lhc talents of their undaunted chief. Proclamations and other documents have been transmitted from Chili, which depict the alarms of the Spanish Governor and his party at the approach of Gen. San Martin's army. The Inquisition has been re- established in a most solemn manner at Lima, and its first labours! were to destroy all traces of the late Spanish Constitution, as well as of the free periodical papers, & c. published in every part of the Mo- narchy during the administration of the Cortes. Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated April 24:—" It is a certain fact that our Government lately sent off the most peremptory orders for Gen. Lacy, now confined in the citadel ol Bar- celona, inconsequence of the late conspi acy iu that place, to be immediately shot. Since then, however, remonstrances from all the cor- porate and privileged Bodies in Catalonia have arrived, and the Petitions from the merchants, & c. signed by no less than 43,000 signatures are also expected. Every inhabitant of the above principality feels for the misfortune of so illustrious a patriot, and they have expressed their feelings in free and bold language. Up fo the present date his Majesty has come to no determination, and the petitions couched in the most honourable terms, are under deliberation. The reports which arrive from every province in the kingdom are of a most sad and gloomy kind. Public distress has risen to its highest nitch. and is particularly felt in the country, from whence the inhabitants flock lo the cities to beg their bread. The armed parties which the government has hitherto classed uuder the denomination of Banditta, have now assumed a totally different character, and occasion great alarms to Ferdinand's agents. They increase every day in consequence of the Proclamations issued bv their Chief's, in which the inhabitants ate invited to save their country, under a pre vious oath to the Constitution. The Proclama- tions have been fixed up iu several places, and repeatedly in the city of Pontevedra, in Puente Sampayo, and other parts of Galacia." The mercantile houses of Messrs. Halle and Ree, and Maribol and Wasserfall, at Copenha- gen, have been obliged to stop payment; and great apprehensions were entertained for the stability of other Houses in that capital of con- siderable respectability. Such was the state of affairs at Copenhagen, that the merchants had solicited permission for the adoption of mea- sures similar to those which were resorted to in 1798 and 1790, but without success, his Maje- sty giving a decided negative to the plan. The trade at Hamburgh on the 6th inst. was unusu- ally dull ; the harbour was almost empty of ves- sels. It appears by the list of the Borscnhall, that the vessels sailing are in much greater pro- portion than the arrivals. Extract of a letter from Naples, dated April 19: —" We arrived here, without meeting with any of the interruptions, w hich the accounts received at Rome had given us reason to fear, but it is not the less true, that these are to be apprehended, and are prevented only by the vigilance of the picquets on the road. We found Naples not so full of English as had been represented, but it is crowded with Germans, and lodgings are scarce. The night before yes- terday, about 11, the shock of an earthquake was felt here. We were returning home from the Theatre, and felt nothing of it; on our reaching the hotel, we were surprised to find the guests collected in parties, talking of the earthquake. Their consternation had, however, subsided; the natives, though not free from alarm, are more accustomed to such convulsions of Nature. The same morning we had ascended the mountain, and the guide had, at first, refused to accompany us to the mouth of the crater, as the lava, he said, was boiling violently within, and immense volumes of smoke were pouring out of the volcano. With much difficulty we over- came his reluctance, and, on our way viewed the fiery lsva, which rolls gently down the side of the mountain. While we were thus employed, a fountain of lava stones suddenly burst forth from the crater above us. Thus admonished we ap proachtd it on the windward side, but did not remain there many minutes, having anothei warning from the issue of another body of smoke, at very little distance behind us, which induced us to retire." The Prince of Salms.— On Saturday night the Prince of Salms landed at Dover from Ger- many. He arrived in London at the residence of the Duke and Duchess ol Cumberland in St. James's Palace, betwe< n five and six o'clock on Sunday afternoon. In the evening the Prince visited Baron Fagel, at his house in Whitehall place. He appears to be about 45 years of ' age. Swedish Minister's Visit to Stockholm, Baron Rehausen, who has been Swedish M:- nister here for many years, left town on Thurs day night on a visit to Stockholm. The utmos secrecy continues to be preserved both here and in Sweden, as to tile affairs 11 f that kingdom. It is nevertheless reported, that two oi three Continental Powers, and among these we have heard Denmark and France named,- are actively intriguing to dispossess Bernadotte's family o! the throne of Sweden. Denmark expects to get back Norway by his overthrow; and Norway was part of the price paid for his support of the allied Cause. We confess we do not exactly see what particular cause of enmity the French Government can have against him, and yet cer- tain it is they have never fairly recognized him as Crown Prince. The Ambassador they sent him was a person of an inferior rank to the Swedish Ambassador at Paris, and he noticed the indignity immediately, with great spirit. To these adversaries may be added the Grand Duke of Baden, who is said to have sent an Am- bassador Extraordinary ( Baron Berstet) lo Lon- don, to solicit the British Cabinet on behalf of the son of Gustavus Adolphus, and nephew of the Grand Duke.— Our readers will not fail to connect the Swedish Ambassador's sudden de- parture with all these reports. In the mean time we may fairly presume, that the British Government takes no share whatever in any ot these intrigues. The dignified line of policy, which has kept our Cabinet aloof from inter- fering even in the affairs of Spain and her colo- nies, ( a case in which our own national interests are so deeply concerned) will be pursued in the case of Sweden. Wre apprehend, nevertheless, that Baron Rehausen carries over with him the sentiments of the British nation at least, if not of the Government, ou the subject of the late violent decrees issued by his Master against British commerce. We hope also, that on the Baron's return, lie will be instructed by Berna- dotte to lay before the British people, to whom he is so much indebted, a copy of the Secret Treaty which he lately concluded with America. National Society.— Tuesday, the General Committee of the National Society for the Edu cation of the Poor in the principles of the Esta- blished Church, held their Meeting at St. Mar- tin's Vestry- Room. Amongst other important communications was a letter from the Rev. Dr. Inglis, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, giving an account of the very suc cessful progress of the National System of teach- ing in that part of the world and stating that masters were sent there, from a distance of 600 miles, to be instructed by a master sent out by the National Central School in London. General Missionary Society.— Wednesday the Twentieth Anniversary of this truly valuable So- ciety was held, and the first meeting according to annual custom took place iu Surrey Chapel. The Church prayers were read by the Rev. Row- land Hill, after which, the Rev. Thos. Chalmers, D. D. one of the Ministers of Glasgow, aud Author of a number of truly valuable works, preached an eloquenl, interesting, and impressive Sermon, in behnlf of I he Society, from 1st Corinthians, 14th chapter, from the 2lst to the 27th verse inclusive. Of this justly celebrated preacher it is impos- sible iu fact to speak too highly. He, in the course of his Sermon, entered into a concise but luminous review of tbe evidence which proved the authenticity of Christianity, and concluded by advancing 1 lie most liberal and admirable de- fence of Missionary Societies ever delivered from the pulpit. Distinguished as this enlightened Clergyman is, by profound talents, it gave infi- nite pleasure to witness the liberality of his sentiments, and the unbiassed attachment he obviously shewed to every denomination of ge- nuine Christians. Of his talents and conduct as a Clergyman, it is impossible to say too much, hut we cannot help congratulating the citizens of Glasgow, that notwithstanding the violent ex- ertions ofa party in hat City ( too well known to require being mentioned), this admirable, and as yet unrivalled preacher, was elected one of the Ministers of that City. Since he came there. Dr. Chalmers has attracted the most nu- merous audience ever seen in Glasgow, or we may add, in Scotland, and it may be said his truly pre- eminent abilities will long continue to ecurehiin the affection and love of his country. Indeed the discourses he has already published on the Christian Revelation connected w ith the Modern Astronomy," which in the course of about three months, have gone through above five editions, have sufficiently proved him to be what he justly is. At seven in the morning, the Chapel was crowded to excess, and we believe many thousands attracted by this truly adnii rable preacher, went off for want of room. Dr. Nichol, of the Scots Church, Swallow . street : Mr. Greig, of Crown court, Covent- garden; and x vast number of other Clergymen were present. A very liberal collection was afterwards made. Lieutenant Charles Moore, who, at the ex- treme hazard of his ow n life, in the cause of hu- manity, was enabled to save two Frenchmen, and nearly a third, who were wrecked off Ca- lais, of vvhic i an honourable mention was made in the Moniteur, had on Tuesday tne honour of dining with his Excellency the French Ambas- sador, who was pleased, by order of his Most Christian Majesty, the King of France, to sig nify to him his Majesty's full sense of so great an example of heroism. The. celebrated and beautiful Madamoiselle Georges comes to London on the recommenda- tion ifa Noble Duke, to entertain the Amateurs of the French Drama with tragic recitations, along with Monsieur Talma, if they cannot raise a corps dramatique for an entire play. They object to appear on the little temporary stage in the Argyll Rooms, where there would not be space for the starts, throes, and gesticulations of French acting. A licence for two nights at the King's Theatre is in contemplation. Baron Fagel, the Ambassador from the King ot the Netherlands, is of a family so long accus- tomed to England, that, during the dominion of Buonaparte, he had resolved to settle here, and had purchased, with that view, an estate in Norfolk, consisting of about 500 acres of land. This his Excellency lias now sold, with the house upon it, and all the furniture aud farming stock, to Lord W. Bentinck, HIGH TREASON. Abstract of tbe Indictment against Thistlewood, the two Watsons, Preston, and Hooper. There are tour counts, in w hich the traitorous object s laid in four different ways; but the overt acts from vhieli those objects aie inferred, are the same in all, >\ oept the third count, iu which tlie riotous assembling ind paWidmg Oil the 2il of December, is described as a ving been with the intention of subverting the Go- vernment, and dethroning Ihe King— acts technically known under the name of levying war. lst count — Compassing and imagining to put the King to death. 2: 1 ditto— Compassing and imagining to depose the King. 3d ditto— Levying war. 4th ditto— Conspiring to levy war against the King, in older to compel him to change his measures. There are 14 overt acts charged to prove the treasons alleged in the lst, 2d, and 1th counts, namely : I st Overt Act - Consulting to devise plans and means to subvert the Constitution, and depose the King. 2.1 ditto— Consulting to levy war, an 1 subvert the Constitution. 3d ditto— Conspiring to attack the Bank and Tower. 4th ditto— Conspiring to seduce soldiers and others. 51b ditto — Ordering pike- heads, , S: c.

The third count is for levying was as a substantive treason, without any overt act. fires— About threeo'clock on Tuesday morn- ing, as the watchman on duty in Crawford- street, Marylebone, was going his rounds, he saw the flames issue from the house of Mr. Hoddinot, ironmonger, in the same street; he instantly gave the alarm, and the family had but barel v time to escape before the premises were entirely on fire. Mr. Howell attended from Ihe watch- house with the parish engine, but the flames had gained too great an ascendancy to begot under, and he directed his attention to the preservation of Ihe surrounding premises ; several other engines attended soon after, and by the joint exertions saved the adjoining houses. About five o'clock the house and va luable furniture of Mr. Hoddinot were entirely consumed. The fire is supposed to have origi nated from a horse of clothes having been left to dry by the back parlour file. A most destructive fire happened at Aid bourne, Wilts, on Monday which destroyed 15 cottages, three barns, two malt- houses ( one built at an expence of 5001. ill Ihe last two years ) a large quantity of barley thrashed, and untbrashed, a rick of oats, two good waggons, a good cart, a large quantity of malt and barley in the malt- house, a smith's shop, a carpenter's shop and a weaving shop. It began near ( lie suiilh's shop about 12 o'clock at noon, and caused dreadful alarm and distress to the inha bitantsat large, and the unfortunate people whose houses were destroyed, lost almost their all; the damage is estimated at from 3 to 40001. A shocking instance of the effects of careless- ness in regard to fire was exhibited on the 8flt inst. on the premises of Mr. Lewis of Ysgard- dangoed, in the parish of Llenwino, Carmarthen- shire. As a female servant was incautiously conveying some burning wood from the dwelling- house to an out- ottiee, part of it fell on some loose straw, set it on fire; and the flames com- municating with the beast- houses, barn, & c. the whole range of buildings was almost instantly in a blaze. A considerable quantity of corn and seasoned timber was destroyed ; and, horrid to relate, several head of cattle perished in the flames, while others were severely scorched. Happily the corn- yard was, through the great exertions, preserved. Coroner's Inquest.— Tuesday evening an iu- qucst was held at the Glazier's Arms public- house, in Water- lane, Blackfriars, upon the body of a young man named Griffiths, aged ' 23 years, who put a period to his existence on Saturday night last, by taking a quantity of arsenic. The deceased, who was only son to the land- lady of the above house, had for some consi- derable time past exhibited evident marks of despondency, attended at intervals by fits of insanity of a more violent nature. Latterly ho appeared better. Saturday he joined a party of friends who were celebrating a wedding, but whilst amongst them, he contrived unobserved, to infuse the poison into the liquor he was drink- ing. During the evening he was observed lo be particularly low- spirited. Soon after his ar- rival at his own house he became suddenly in- disposed, and was attacked with violent reach ings, and other symptoms of poison. Medical assistance was instantly procured, and every possible remedy administered, but in vain. After lingering until near five o'clock on Sunday morning, he expired in the most excruciating tortures. His body upon examination subse- quently exhibited a spectacle of the most shock- ing nature, and it was supposed he had taken a sufficient quantity of the fatal poison to have caused the death of at least four individuals,— Verdict— Insanity. T. Wilson, the person who a short time ago threw himself under the wheels ofa waggon in Oxford- street, by which both of his thighs were broken and he was otherwise seriously in- jured, put a period to his existence by cutting his throat almost from ear io ear w ith a razor, on Wednesday night. The dreadful act was per- petrated at the Middlesex Hospital, where he was removed to on his first attempt. About two o'clock on Wednesday morning, as Mr. Squibb, watch- house keeper of St. Pancras parish, was going his usual rounds in the New road, to ascertain if the watchmen were on duty, he thought he beheld something at a distance suspended from one of the lamp- posts ; it being rather dark at the time, he went to examine what it was, and was horror- struck it finding it was a female hanging, and a bundle, containing her clothes lying on the ground near her. He immediately cut her down, and pro- curing help, he had the body carried to the watch- house, where surgical assistance was procured, but to no purpose, life being quite ex- tinct. On searching the pockets some papers were found by which it was discovered hei name was Hannah Evans ; she appeared to b< a young woman. The body lies at the Work house to be owned. THE NEW GANG OF SWINDLER?. Mansion- House.— On Thursday a Gentleman named Read, complained to tbp Lord Mayor, that he had recently suffered from the ingenuity of Messrs. Evans, Coster and Co. who have been defrauding the shopkeepers in the city in the nanner described upon a former occasion. The complainant having had a number of St. Helena maps to dispose of, adverstised them for sale, and was applied to on the subject by Mr. Evans, who gave him what was called an undeniable reference, and offered him bills iu payment. Mr. Read called at the counting house of a Mr. Mills, to whom he was referred, but did not see that gentleman. There was, however, a clerk there, who answered all the purposes of the prin- cipal; said that Mr. Evans was a good name, etc & c. and declared that he would take the word of so respectable a merchant for „£ 1000. Mr. Read gave the maps, took the bills, but soon found that the maps had been sold b » Evans to a tradesman considerably under the sum for which the bills had been given. The complainant then ascertained that the clerk of Mr. Mills was no other than Mr. Coster, who in return for many kind offices of this descrip- tion which he had experienced from his friend, gave the warm recommendation alluded to. The Lord Mayor advised the complainant to add his case to ihe many others against the two prisoners. He ( the Lord Mayor) would take care that they should not be liberated without the very best bail. A few days ago a miserable looking woman was detected in attempting to steal- a piece of bacon from the shop of Mr. Walsh, in Grosvenor- market ; on being questioned, ske declared neither herself; her husband, or their children, had tasted food for three days, ant! that she came out with an intent of stealing something to keep them from starving; that they received nothing from the parish, but. merely what paid their rent. Mr, Walsh went to ascertain the truth of her story, and found it was a mere outline of their misery, which beg- gared all description. The husband was a healthy young man, w ith scarcely any clothes on, and had been i7 weeks out of work.— Under such circumstances Mr. W. had no idea of pro- secuting, and he freely gave them the bacon. A few nights since, a daring set of fellows, all armed with bludgeons, aud one with a pistol, sallied forth from Boston, for the purpose of robb ng the rookery at Alderchurch. Mr. Roe, aware that it had been most shamefully robbed the two preceding nights, had this night placed four servants in a hovel adjoining, in order to discover the depredators. At midnight, 12 men, armed a< above, made their appearance, and one of them observing the door of the hovel a jar, said, " there is somebody here." O-. giving three whistles, ihe rest of the party joined him, and he forced the door open. The servants then going out, a man of the name of Tebbs presented a pistol to the breast of one of them, and demanded what lie wanted. Ou being asked in return what they came there for, they said, " to take the rooks, and they would not come so far without their errand."— The ser- vants finding themselves so out- numbered, re- treated to the house for further assistance. On theii return, however, reinforced, they found the party had decamped. Tebbs has since been bound over to the Sessions, to answer for the assault, and warrants, we understand, have been issued against a man named William Brown, and another known by the nick- name of Blue Bill Five of them, viz. J. Holdershaw, W. Coy, J. Drury, T. Drury, and E. Duff, having voluntarily surrendered themselves, and ex- prosed great contrition for their offence, and promised future good behaviour, have been for- given. The rest are not yet discovered. Execution.— Saturday last,— Allen, a consi- derable farmer in Cheshire, who was convicted at the last Chester Assizes, of issuing forged Bank- notes, suffered the sentence of the law. He met his death with extraordinary fortitude; but his sufferings seemed long continued, the muscular motion being terribly exerted for more than ten minutes. A great number of friends, his wife, and eight children, attended, and took the body for interment at Waverham. During the awful solemnity of fixing the rope round the neck of the unfortunate culprit, three pickpock- . ts were detected in the execution of their pro- fession, directly under the drop ! Marshal Beresford is said to be on his re- tuvn home ; and finally to have quitted the Por- tuguese service. Oliver, the prize- fighter, being bound over to keep the peace in England, offers to box his rival Painter at Waterloo, " that field," as he calls it, *' of English glory." This is Waterloo travestied with a vengeance. Mild Reproof.— It is well known that the great Dr. Darwin had a considerable impedi- ment in his speech ; this, however, did not pre- vent many flashes of keen sarcastic wit. An apothecary whose knowledge of his profession was, we trust, superior to his politeness, while receiving the Doctor's instructions relative to a patient, observed, what it pity it was that a man oi his great abilities should stammer so much. " Not so much to be regretted as you suppose, Sir, ( sputtered the Doctor) for it gives a man time to think before he speaks." Curious Circumstance.— Some days ago, while the gardeners were at work near the wall of ihe Abbey Orchard, belonging to J. Fergus- son Esq. of Pitfour, M. P. they were surprised by hearing a strange noise in the wall, like the barking or howling of some wild animal; and by the direful and repeated barkings, curiosity induced them to break open part of the wall where the noise proceeded from— and to their great astonishment, they found no less than 7 young foxes snugly situated near the top of it, upwards of 12 feet from the ground; but the old one had escaped, or had not been with them at the time. As there are three flues ex- tending along the wall with vents from the bot- tom of it to tjie top, Ihe cunning old lady had got into it at a hole in Ihe lowermost flue ; but not satisfied witli that apartment, she had gone to tbe very uppermost one, thinking she was nit of danger. The whole seven young ones ue still alive, and doing well, only ; v little out , of humour for want of their mother. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY LFJ, 18IF. Friday morning wore received Paris Papers oi Tuesday last; the following are extracts:— " Paris, May 13.— Lacy and his accomplices have been condemned to death by the Court- Martial at Barcelona. " AH article from Vienna, of the 27th April talks of great agitation in the Ionian Isles, of in- surrections, and of several English having pe- rished. ( There is no truth in this, we understand.) The Memorial Bordelais of the 8th of May, publishes the commencement ot the pleadings ot the Attorney- General in the affair of the conspi- racy of Randon, & c." " May 15.— Twelve soldiers of the Old Im perial Guard, coming from the prisons of Russia arrived yesterday in Paris. They will be ad- mitted into the Royal Guards. " The Duke of Wellington landed at Calais on the 11th, at seven in the evening. He slept at St. Omer, and set off next day for Cambray. " The King took his accustomed airing yes- terday, after transacting business with the Duke of Richelieu. " The Journals published at Rome up to the 26th April, make no mention ofthe Pope's illness, " The Court of Assizes at Rouen has con- demned to death a butcher named Le Maire, for the murder of his wife, by cutting her throat with a razor." On Friday morning a mail from Flanders arrived. The King of the Netherlands lias been making another tour through the southern part, or French frontier of his kingdom. The object seems to be to acquire popularity ; and, according to all accounts his iSlajesty has suc- ceeded. Brussels, May 12.— The loans which his Majesty has just made to some cities of the kingdom, has afforded new proofs of the care and attention which he devotes to the exami- nation of Ihe several branches of the Adminis- tration. At Tournay he expressed his satis- faction at the state of progress iu which he found the new fortifications of the city. In the same city he paid particular attention to the observations which were made him by the Mem- bers of the Tribunals of Commerce. At Mons, after having also examined the works carrying on, and reviewed the garrison, his Majesty re- ceived at the Government Hotel the Magistrates of the city. His stay here was distinguished also by an act of benificence, which excited the most lively gratitude — his Majesty having given 3( 100 florins out of his private purse for the re lief of Ihe poor. From Mons bis Majesty went to Charleroi. On the whole journey he received fresh proofs of the general affection. The Court of Cassation having decided against the sentence condemning Mr. Murescal, in the famous Cause of the Oetrie of Antwerp, he has just been removed to Ghent, where his trial will be recommenced. M. Rioust has saved himself by flight from the execution of the sentence which condemns him to two years imprisonment and a fine of 10,000 francs, & e. lie arrived at Ghent three days ago, Thursday were received a supply of New York and other American Papers to the 20th ult. They mention the death of Petion, the President or Sovereign of St. Domingo ; and add, what we hope is not true, that be was car- ried off by poison. The death of this person will we fear, excite new troubles in St. Domingo, unless the European States adopt the high- minded and enlightened policy of interfering as mediators between the rival candidates for power. The American Papers teem with ac- counts of the captures of Insurgent Privateers. The Americans entertain the absurd idea that the Spanish Government has sent out an agent to sell them some of the Spanish provinces ra- ther than be longer annoyed by Ihe keeping flown the struggles made by the inhabitants for independence. Friday morning were also received Charleston Papers to the 14th of April, with a variety of others from American ports; but not of so re- cent a date as those received on Thursday. [ From the City Charleston Gazette of April 12.] Blockade of Cuba.— The British schooner Friendship, Captain Hilberg, arrived at this port yesterday, in ten days from Cuba. The day lie sailed Captain H. was boarded from the Independent privateer brig Patriot, Commodore Taylor, and informed, that all the ports in the island of Cuba were under a strict state of blockade by his squadron, and requested him to report it in the United States. His force amounts to 12 or 13 sail; among them one ship, the remainder brigs and schooners. The Com- modore treated Capt. H. with marked politeness and respect, as is his constant practice to all nations, except the Spanish. He expressed his determination of continuing Ihe blockade as rigorously as possible, and declared that he never would be captured by any Spanish vessel while his magazine held out. The vessels of the squadron are continually cruizing round the - island, and intercept a great many Spanish mer- chantmen and slave traders, the prisoners of which are sent on shore. IMPERIAL PA RE FA M EAT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, May 12,1S1T. GAOL CHAPLAINS. Mr. Hurst, gave notice ofa motion on Monday next, for leave, to bring in a hill for the regulation of Gaol Chaplains. EDINBURGH AND FALKIRK CANAL. On the. Order of the Jlav for tlie second reading of the Edinburgh and Falkirk" Canal Hill, Mr. W. Dundas supported the Bill, as did Lord A. Hamilton, Mr. Mar- joribanks, Mr. Rose, and Mr. J. P. Grant, on the ground that it would furnish employment for the poor, supply Edinburgh with water, and be productive of commercial advantages. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the second reading 139— Against it 03.— Maj. 70. BIRMINGHAM POOR HILL. Sir C. Mordaunt moved the second reading of the Birmingham Poor Rates' Bill, strongly contending for the necessity of passing this measure, which could not but tend to afford considerable relief, which, on a di- vision, the numbers were— For the motion 30— Against it 103.— Majority against the Bill, « 7. GAME LAWS. The adjourned Debate upon the Game Laws Pre- servation Bill was resumed; and after a short con- versation between Sir E. Knatchbull, Mr. G. Bankes, Col. Wood, and Mr. F. Lewis, the clause proposed by Mr. Bankes, for authorising the apprehension of per- sons found witli nets or snares, in w oods or forests, . See, at night, was adopted, and the Bill was passed. ARMY ESTIMATES. Lord Palmerston moved that the House should re- solve itself into a Committee of Supply, and that the Army Estimates for the present year, as well as the Second Report of the Finance Committee, be referred to it. Mr. J. P. Grant asked whether it was the intention of the Noble Lord to take the votes upon the w hole Estimates for the present year P He also wished to know when they might expect a complete Report from the Finance Committee? No answer being returned to either of these questions, the Speaker put the question for his leaving the Chair, and the House resolved itself inloa Committee accord- ingly. Lord Palmerston said, that in rising to move these Estimates, he divided them into four classes ; the land forces and charges for volunteers and yeomanry ; the second, the troops paid by France; third, the half- pav, Chelsea, and allowance to widows; and fourthly, those charges now to be made, but to be reduced iu the course of the year. The labours of the Committee of Finance had, by their Report, rendered it unnecessary for liini to trespass long on the patience of the House. It would be seen, by reference to the Report, that the Estimates this year, compared w ith last, shewed a dimi- nution of 1,738,0001. There was another diminution for disembodied militia, making in all a reduction of 1,800,0001. There was also a diminution of 42,000 men and officers since last year. There was also intended a reduction of 5,440 officers and men in the Army of Occupation of France. The whole reduction would amount to about 61,000 men. This afforded an incon- tcstible proof that Ministers were not callous to the feelings of the people, nor had they neglected any op portunity of economy and retrenchment. But these reductions were not to be made bv a glance of tlie eye or a stroke of the pen. Nothing but the most patient attention could effect it in our forces, scattered as they were all over the globe. There had been a reduction since 1814, of228,000 men, including militia ; exclusive of the militia, 135,000 men. For the Colonies and India there were 80,000 men; for France 20,000; and for the home service 17,000. In the Guards there was a re- duction of one Serjeant and 10 men to every company ; and in the Infantry of the Line of 13,000 men. There was also a great reduction in the number of horses. Ill the Staff too there had been a considerable reduction; and eight recruiting depots, and six districts had been reduced, as well as five Paymasters; making a dimi- nution of 130,0001. on tlie Recruiting Service. In the Staff there was a diminution of 98,0001. In the Public Departments there had been but a reduction of 19 or 20,0001. The duty of the Commander in Chief was increased by the applications of half- pay Officers to have their claims considered; and he was sure the House would sympathize with them, and think that every possible atention should be paid to their claims. Considerable reduction had taken place in Ihe persons employed in bringingup the arrears of former accounts; K..< tl. n Mr. Calcraft could not trust his ears that he had, heard his Hon. Friend last yearopposetliecxiravagant I establishme. ntof Ministers, and vet should now support j one equally extravagant, considering the state of our | home and foreign relations. Under ail circumstances he should certainly, when his Hon, Friend's Motion was disposed of, propose an Amendment, having for its object to reduce the foiee now proposed He was followed by the different observations of Mr. Robinson, Sir W. Burroughs, Mr. J. Grant, Lord Mil- ton, and Mr. Peele, afterwards Mr. J. P. Grant proposed to withdraw his motion, and to allow his Hon. Friend to make his motion. Mr. Grant's mot ion was then withdrawn. The Speaker said, a difficulty would arise now, in going back to receive an Amendment to a prior part of the Resolutions. - Mr. Calcraft said, he « considered this difficulty might be got over by his moving the re- committal of the Re- solution, when he would have an opportunity of pro- posing his amendment. After the speech ofthe Right Hon. Gent. ( Mr. Peel), lie tlid not consider the force for Ireland could be reduced; but still he thought that on the other part ofthe Estimates a reduction of 10,000 meh might be set on foot. He concluded by moving the re- committal of the Resolutions. After a few words from Lord Ebrington, Lord Cas- tlereagh, and Mr. D. Browne, tile Housu divided— For the Amendment 56— Against it lit. The Resolutions were then severally agreed to.— Adj. WEDNESDAY. Sir S. Romilly presented a Petition from the Poul- teiers of London, complaining of the vexatious Prose- cutions, they were now subject to for the Sale of Game. As there was a measure before the House to legalize the sale of Game, the informers, apprehensive of being deprived of this source of profit, were making the most of their time, by instituting prosecutions. He observed, that if ihe sale of Game continued to be pro- hibited, on every principle of justice a penalty'should attach as well on the buyer as " the seller. The Petition was laid on the Table. Ou the motion of Mr. D. Gilbert, leave was given to bring in a Bill to explain and amend the Act with re- spect to the exemption from toll of caits or carriages laden with manure, the Hon. Member observing, that his object was to remove doubts upon this subject, espe- cially with regard to carts or carriages laden in part BRITISH PAINT MANUFACTORY, Queen- Street, Cheapside, London.

TO BE HALL AT THE FOLLOWING TOWNS : Although Ihe Emperor of China would not receive Lord Amherst's Embassy, in consequence ofthe refusal of his Lordship to submit to the prostration which the custom of the country prescribes, we understand his Imperial Majesty has sent several most curious, rich, and splendid presents to the Prince Regent. The number of Chinese killed by the fire of the Alceste amount ed to 40. The affair was kept secret from the Emperor, his Ministers being afraid to commu- nicate it to him. Thie Duke De Berri has expressed an in- tention to cause a statue of the Prince Regent to bf erected in Jersey, in the most conspicuous part of St. Heliers as a testimony of his grate- ful remembrance of the manner in which he was received there by the inhabitants, at the me- morable period of the conclusion of the late war. The York Herald says—" We have the plea- sure to learn thai the long expected Russian or der has been received, and that the manufac- turers of army clothing in the neighbourhood of Leeds are once more in a state of activity." but" the corresponding branch of his own department had increased rather than diminished. He received from 900 to 1000 letters a week, enquiring after the existence or effects of private soldiers. The number of letters sent out in the year ending March last was 105,940: in 1802 there were only 14,000. He had, however, made some reductions in the highest offices in his department, from six to four in ihe first class, having from 5 to 0001. a year each. In the second class lie had also reduced the Clerks from six to four ; besides other reductions of Messengers, & c. amounting in all to 5,1931. In the Adjutant- General's Office there was a diminution of 3,0001. In the expence for Hospitals there was a diminution of 28,0001. In the Military- College there was a diminution of 5,0001. done by the gallant Colonel at the head of that department, in his own table money. Since 1814, 54 General Officers had died. In garrisons there had been a diminution; but in the hill pay of retired Officers there was an in- crease of 18,001: 1. In foreign corps there was a reduc- tion of 238,0001. In the Out Pensioners of Chelsea there was an increase of 98,0001.; and in the Widows' Pensions and Compassionate List was an apparent in- crease of 98,0001. Ill the estimate of Local Militia there was a diminution of 70,0001. Under the head of Ex- chequer Fees there was a reduction of 92,0001. The general diminution was 1,800,0001. The amount of the charge for the vear was reduced to 0,385,0001.; out of that was 2.572,001. forpastserviees. He then moved 121,000 men for the land service for the year Mr. Calcraft said, lie should not detain the Com- mittee by going through the various items of the Esti- mates, but would only implore the Government to con- tinue its reductions till they brought the army down to Ihe number which, he was satisfied, would be com- patible equally with our domestic tranquillity and the safety of our foreign possessions. He was followed by Mr. Littleton. Gen. Walpole, Mr. Warre, Lord Palmerston, Sir R. Fergusson, Gen. Phipps, Mr. Ponsonby, Lord Nugent, Mr. Curwen, Sir W. Goulbourn, Sir W. Burrows, Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Brougham, after which, Mr. J. P. Grant gave, notice of his intention to move for limiting the period of these Estimates upon the Report being brought up. The several Resolutions were agreed to, the. House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up to- morrow.— Adj. TUESDAY. Col. Wood moved that the accounts of the number of persons in confinement. Ordered.— He next postponed the second reading of the Bill for legalizing the sale of game till to- morrow se'nnight. Mr. Arkwright presented a Petition from the Hop- Growers of Rye against the Bill iu progress respecting the Sale of Hops. Sir E. Brydges referred to the Petition which he had lately presented from the Paper Makers of Maidstone, audits vicinity, stated, that lie was aware of the gene- ral arguments against any discouragement of machinery. But if it could he proved, as the Petitioners stated thej could prove, that the use of some machinery in this caseproduced no advantage to the public, but produced a worse article, and only tended to throw a profit into the hands of monopolists, it would be a fit exception | from the general rules on this subject. He moved to refer the Petitions to a Committee.— The motion was carried, and ihe Committee appointed. ARMY ESTIMATES. Mr. Brogden brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates. Mr. J. P. Grant said, lie should move, as an amend- ment, that the Vote for the Army should be only for half a year, as it was last Session, and not for a whole year, as now propo- ed.— And after some further re- marks, moved that the first Resolution of 121,000 men, should be maintained till the 24th day of September, instead ofthe 24th day of December next. Mr. Bankes defended the Committee of Finance from uot having stated the amount of force which ought to be kept up, as they had left that to the responsibility of Ministers. with manure. Mr. Hurst obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable Magistrates to appoint Chaplains in the different Gaols old Houses of Correction throiigliontEngland & Wales. POOR EMPLOY BILL. The Chancellor, of the Exchequer, in moving tint the House should resolve itself into a Committee, took the opportunity of stating, that, since the last discussion upon tlie subject, he had beenenablcd to provide many amendments to Ihe Bill; but it would spare the time of the House, and promote the general convenience of Members, if they allowed the. Bill to be committed pro forma, to have the. blanks filled up, and, together with the amendments, to be printed. It could then be taken into consideiation on a future day. The House, after a short desultory discussion, then resolved itself into a Commiiteepto forma, and the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer moved his several amendments. The House having resumed, the Report was received and ordered to be taken into further consideiation on Friday week. Sir Wm. Burroughs replied, that when he saw a sum of ,£ 31,000. voted, at tlie suggestion ofthe Noble Lord, to defray the expellees of that description of force, he thought it a matter deserving the consideration of that House.— Ordered.— Adjourned. THURSDAY. Mr. Hurst brought up the Gaol Chaplains' Bill, which was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time this day week. The Bill for the better punishment of Persons found guilty of Murder and Manslaughter out of the United Empire, was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. Mr. M. Sutton said, that seeing an Hon. Baronet in his place, ho would state, that he had made enquiry as to the fact of a soldier in the 13th Dragoons having committed suicide, because lie was sentenced to pu- nishment for being absent, and marrying without leave. It was true that a soldier had asked" the consent of his Commanding Officer to marry, which'was refused, be- cause he was already married. He went away, and on his return was sentenced to 200 lashes for being absent without leave. He received 100 lashes, and was par- doned the other 100. Oil being discharged, he was found drowned, and he ( Mr. S.) believed, had com- mitted suicide; but not from any dread of receiving the rest of his punishment for being absent without leave, yet it was evident it was for marrying again, for which he was amenable to the criminal law. This was a strong instance of that detestable and degrading pu nishment still keeping its ground. It was a strong in- ference that this man's sense of honour would not suffer him to exist after receiving so degrading^ punishment. He should bring the subject of corporal punishments again before the House. SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS. Mr, Ponsonby sM, the law which was passed for en- abl ing his Majesty to detain in custody persons sus- pected of conspiring against his person and government would expire on the 1st of July, and we were now in the middle of May. As it was reasonable to expect that many Members would leave town before that time, he felt it his duty to ask the Noble Lotd whether he in- tended to propose to the Hmiseacontinuation ofthe Bill for the Suspension ofthe. Habeas Corpus Act. Lord Castlereagh said, he had to acquaint the House and the Right Hon. Gent, that Ministers felt it their Ashford— Mr. Elliott. Canterbury— Mess. Rouse.

IT is a fact established by the annual Bills of Mortality that one half of the Children born are cut off before attaining Seven Years of Age, and the fruitful source of this mortality is found to exist in that foul state of the Stomach and Bowels which produces the generation of Worms. As the safe restorer oflnfantine Health, in this critical state, " Ching's Worm Lozenges," have long held a distinguished reputation : Mild anil safe in their operation, suited to every stage of this pe riodofLife, and infallible in their effect, their character has been sustained by the highest names ill rank, re- spectability, and science, from a personal knowledge of their utility in their own families. Many fond and anxious Mothers, who have watched with inexpressible solicitude the dawning days of their Young Offspring, knowing too well the dangers and vicissitudes of that tender age, have successfully had recourse to these Lozenges, andean gratefully testify to their excellence.

After this question had been put by the Right Hon. Gent, he felt it due, in candour to the House, to state, that from the view Ministers at present took of the internal stale of the country, they would feel it their duty ( after the communication of the Prince Regent should be made), to propose a continuation ofthe Habeas Corpus Suspen- sion Act until the first day ofthe next Session of Par- liament— Hear, hear ! Mr. Phillips said, as this was a measure of the very greatest importance, he should feel it his duty to move a call of tlie House. Lord Castlereagh said, he should have no objection to the House being called over. Mr. Brougham wished to know if Ministers intended to move tlie appointment ofa Committee to enquire into the internal state of the country, as at the beginning of the Session? Lord Castlereagh said, the first proceeding would be a communication from tlie Regent, as tothestate ofthe Country ; and thenext would bea Committee of enquiry into the. real internal state of 111?, country. Sir P. Burdett said, it was not difficult to anticipate what the result of that enquiry would he; but it was necessary to know, before ihev went into the discussion of this great question, how many persons had been taken up under these Bills, and when it waslikely the; would be brought to trial. For this purpose, he would move to- morrow for a return ofthe number of persons con- fined, & e. under these Acts, Mr. Brougham wished, Hint some Member of weight and ability would give notice ofa motion for an Address to the Prince Regent, that lie would he pleased not to dissolve this present Parliament until the Act for sus- pendingthe Habeas Corpus should be repealed.— Hear! Mr. Phillips then moved, that the House should be called over on Ihe 2d of June. Mr. J. P. Grant said, it was riot inappropriate to the present question to state, that a master weaver in Glas- gow had been confined for six weeks, undera charge of Treason, by the Law Officers of the Crown in Scotland, without being at all brought to trial. He had after six weeks been discharged, withoiirtliel. avv Officers ofthe Crown having exacted bail for his appearance, which shewed that there was' 110 gronndsfortiis being confined.

COURT, OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL IT. HIGH TREASON. This morning, on their Lordships taking their seats, the new Attorney General Sir Samuel Shepherd, stated, that - four persons, named Arthur Thistlewood, James Watson, the elder, Richard Hooper, and Thomas Preston, had been brought from the Tower by Habeas Corpus, to plead to an indictment for High Treason preferred against them. The prisoners were noW brought into the Court sepa- rately, in the custody of the Yeomen of the Guard, and on their being placed at the bar, immediately behind tbe King's Counsel, Thistlewood, Watson and Hooper cordially shook hands with each other, and Preston, who came in last, shook hands with Watson, who was next him, and bowed, waving his hand to the other two. Watson was dressed in a new black coat, a black silk waistcoat, black small- clothes and stockings, and ap- peared pule ; Preston had on a greyish brown- coloured coat, and a buff waistcoat, and appeared perfectly un- concerned during the whole proceedings; Hooper was dressed in a grey great coat, claret- coloured body- coat with plated buttons, and a black waistcoat; and Thistle- wood had on a loose sailor's jacket, and a red neckerchief. Tbe Attorney General now moved, that the Re- turn of the Marquis of Hastings, the Governor of the Tower, might be read. The Master of the Court ac cordingly read it; and on another motion of the Attor- ney General it was filed. Lord Ellenborough then addressed the prisoners as follows:— Prisoners ( repeating their names) would all or any of yon wish or desire to have counsel assigned to you ? Thistlewood, would you? "— Prisoner Thistle- wood, " Certainly, my Lord." Lord Ellenborough, " Would yon name him now, or Would yon wish to' have until Monday or Tuesday to name him — Thistlewoad. " My Lord, I have not made up my mind yet." Lord Ellenborough. " Very Well. James Watson, the elder, would you wish to. have counsel assigned to you?"— Watson. My Lord, I certainly wish for coun- sel; but I have not made up my mind at present." Lord Ellenborough. James Preston, will yon have counsel assigned to you now, or will you have time to consider of it — Preston. " The gentlemen who have now preceded me, my Lord,' have expressed my senti- ments on tbe subject." ".'".' Lord Ellenborough. " Very well, Richard Hooper, will you have counsel assigned now ?"— Hooper. " I wish for counsel, my Lord, but I have not decided yet whom to have. If not improper, I should wish to have; the liberty of considering for a few days." Lord Ellenborough. " Well." Watson. " Would it be impertinent to inquire of your Lordships, whetherr if counsel be assigned to me, I shall be allowed to speak in my own defence as well as the counsel?" After their Lordships had consulted together for some time, the prisoner was answered as follows: — Lord Ellenborough. " You will not be restrained from addressing any thing to the Court and Jury that yon think of importance for your defence; and yon may intimate to the CotirLher'eafter. or to any single Judge at Chambers, who the counsel may be that you MAIDSTONE i May 20.

The whole forms a capital compact business, ill 3110* 1 desirables tnation', distant fr'om Canterbury only 1.0 miles, from Chatham 16. and London 47 from whence theteis water carriage to the mill, and is altogether well well worthy the attention of any Gentleman, who is desirous of entering into a good established trade.

' To be viewed by applying to Mr. SAMUEL BURTON en the premises : and for further particulars inquire of the said SAMUEL BURTON ; or of Mr. WILLIAM LAKE, of Woodstreet, in the parish of Linsted ; Mr . WALTER WHITEHEAD, of Teynbam ; Mr. GILES HILTON, of Preston, next Faversham; or of Mr. SHEPHERD, Soli- citor, Faversham. Lord Lascelles withdrew tbe Bill formerly brought in by him for rating co d mines to tbe poor; and brought in a, new Bill for making the proprietors of mines rate- able for the profits ; which was read a first time.— On the report o f the Truro Rail- road Bill being brought up, a long discussion took place upon one of Ihe clauscs. when a division took place; and the numbers were- For the clause 79- Against it 7.9; when the Speaker gave the casting vote iu favour of the Clause.-~ T. hc Savings Banks Bill w asre- coinniitu- d, and a clause was adopted, for allowiug: parochial ielitf, in cases where the sum possessed by the pauper did not exceed 301. A clause, which proposed to give to pcrsous who bad for a- certain period refrained from Applying for parish relief, and accumulated a certain snm in a Saving Bank, a certain bonus out of the pixor rates, was nega- tived after n general discussion.— The Clergy Re- sidence Rill was- committed. The clause allowing a clergyman to farm was carried by S8 to 35, and the blank was filled up with " eighty acres." The Chair- man then reported progress.— Adj. prefer,". _ _ Wutson. " Am I to understand vonr Lordships, that if my counsel goe's into any discussion on the evidence, I shall still have the privilege Of addressing the Jury?" Ld Ellenborough. " I cannot enter into discussion with you. Yon will not be restrained from saying any thing that shall be expedient and necessary for yonr defence." The Attorney General now moved that the prisoners should be arraigned. The indictment was then read over, aud the usual questions in the form of plea were put to the prisoners. They severally pleaded Not Guilty, and iu the usual manner said they would be tried by God and their country; after- which the Master of the Court repeated the words, " God, send you a good deliverance." , The Master then enquired if they had been furnished with copies of the indictment, and lists of the jury and witnesses, and the prisoners answered in the affirmative. The Attorney General. " I am now to move your Lordships to appoint a day for the trial- of tbe prisoners. Any day which. ia most convenient for your Lordships in the early part of next term." Lord Ellenborough. " The prisoners will understand that they may apply, through the medium of their soli- citor, to any Judges at Chambers to have counsel as- signed, and name the counsel they may wish to have; and, Mr. Attorney General, it has occurred to the Court, that Monday, the 9th June, will probably be a convenient day for the- trial,. The Court therefore appoint that day, at nine o'clock in the morning. The Attorney General. " My Lord, I. have now, to move, that the prisoners be remanded." Lord Ellenborough. " Let them be remanded.' The prisoners were then taken out of Court, and separately conveyed back to tire Tower. During the whole proceedings they conducted themselves with the greatest propriety and decorum, and Watson wrote something, which, after having shewn It to the other prisoners, he handed to Mr. Harmer, who attended as their solicitor. He seemed frequently to look at a paper he had in his hand, and upon the whole seemed to pay much attention to the proceedings, especially where his Own name, or that of his son, were read inthe indictment. Preston, though apparently with an un- ruffled and unconcerned brow, listened with attention, and the oilier two prisoners took notice of all that passed. Money on Mortgage nnd other Security.

April 30.— I am sorry I can give you only a bad account of our present state in this part of France. The distress of the poor was never remembered so great, not so much by the price of bread as for want of trade. The quantity of money demanded by Govern- ment, and the great price of corn, oblige every indivi- dual to retrench in every possible way, and the conse. qnonces are that labourers cannot find work, nor the merchant a market for'his goods. The price of wheal is about 88. the Winchester bushel, and has been so about three months. It is generally believed that the high price of corn is not entirely occasioned by scarcity, but by bad intentioned people, who buy and keep it, not only to make the price rise, but to occasion discon- tent. The weather has been and remains dry; which, with the coldness, ofihe season, has occasioned such a scare ty of grass, that . those who bought cBtile and turned them . out to fatten a month ago, when the grass was good, are obliged now to bring them in and feed them on hay ; and of which unfortunately many have none left. Fat cattle and " sheep afe scarce and deal- Lastmarket good beef wassolil for8d.* fhe lb. which is double the iu* « ial price. I do , not know what will be- come of « ur cropeif whe'af, slferfild the- weathei continue as it is at present; but if we have a change in a tew days, we expect a very fine crop: and- except a few late sown, that are rather weak, the others arc looking very well, v My farming has prrtved useful to my neigh- bours this year. The ground is so good in this part, that they think it not worth their while to giow anv thing but wheat. 1 planted last year potatoes to feed some cows; but bread being dear I have turned them to better accoupt: I have sold them to the poor in my neighbourhood at half- a- crown the Winchester bushel, and to the great amazement of the people, who thought that no money could be made of any thing but wheat; but they have found the money I made by the potatoes was more than sufficient to pay for the land they, grew on; and I am certain there will be enough planted this year. They are all after me to inform them the best way of planting potatoes; and which I have taken a pleasure in doing. By the new regulation about to take place iu consequence of ihe recommendation of the Finance Committee,, only one hundred and twenty Major Generals of any future promo- tion will be entitled to the allowance of ll. 5s per diem, and then only to Officers not pro- vided with regiments, and not employed on the Staff. This however, is not to affect the Gene- ral Officers who are now receiving the pension of which the following are the number :— Full Generals receiving 15 0 per diem, 94. Lieut. Generals do 1 11 6 do. 202, Major Generals do 15 0 do. 297. Full Generals and Lieutenant Generals are in future- to receive the same allowance, 11. lis. 6d. and no niore, to those of them that are not em- ployed or not provided with regiments. The inhabitants of Kent will hear with much satisfac- tion, that the Committee of the House of Commons de- cided, on Friday last, that the KENT COAL ACT should be repealed, with a view to the passing of another Act, with additional and stronger powers, to compel the principal Meter to be more vigilant and strict in the discharge of the duties of his office. A meeting of the Hop Planters of East Kent, wis held at the Fountain Inn, Canterbury, on the 10th inst. to consider tbe provisions of Mr. Calvert's Bill, and we understand the meeting declared their concurrence in that part of the bill Intended to prevent fraud in flic patting up of Hops ; but they expressed their decided intention of opposing those clauses which propose to regulate tbe mode of dealing in Hops, and the deduction of the tare weight of the package. A Committee of the Planters present was appointed to carry their reso lution into effect, and a subscription was entered into to defray the expence's of their proceedings.— Several resolutions expressive of the injurious tendency of this bill, were also entered into at the meeting of the Planters of West Kent, held at Maidstone, on Thursday se'n- night, and a Committee nominated to further the views of the meeting. Eight petitions from the growers of hops of Ticchurst, Burwasb, Wailhnrst, Mavfield, Ro- therfield, Heathfield, Etchingham, Mid Rye and Hast- ings, against the Bill, were also presented to the House of Commons on Wednesday night. On which evening the order for the second reading ofthe Bill was dis- charged, the bill withdrawn, and another Bill ordered to be brought ill by Mr Charles Calvert, Mr. Barclay, and others. The Bank of England, we are credibly informed, now receive their dollars ' at the rate of five shillings each, which unquestionably sanctions their circulation at that value. We communicate the fact as well for general information, as for the future prevention of that individual loss which some, ignorant ofthe circumstance have experienced by selling their dollars for four shillings each. Earl Talbot is certainly destined to succeed Lord Whitworth in the Government of Ireland. His Lord- ship has begun to make arrangements preparatory to his departure, which is expected to lake place early in October. He will be accompanied by his amiable Countess and children. On Friday se'nnight, the boys educated at tbe Nati- onal School, at Gravesend, under the Church Establish- ment, to the number of about 180. proceeded to Gravesend Church to hear prayers, when they were interrogated by the Rev. Luke Phillips, and gave an- swers to the complete satisfaction of the audience , after which they partook in their School Room of a comfortable repast. The 3d batt. of the 1st ( Royal Scots) marched from Canterbury in two divisions, on Thursday and Friday, for Chatham, where they are at present to remain. Wingham Fair on the 12tb inst. was numerously at- tended. The supply of leau stock was abundant, but purchasers were scarce, and but few sales effected. Tlie late prices at other fairs were fully maintained. Horses were brisk and fetched a good price. Lewes Cliffe Fair on Tuesday, exhibited a good sup- ply of lean stock, the best of which were for the most part bought up, and at prices somewhat higher than might have been expected from the present state of the Grass lands. Some that were in good condition, fetched full three shillings per stone. On Tuesday, at Deptford church, a native of Congo, who had accompanied Capt. Tuckey on his expedition to Africa, was publicly baptised, and received into the Protestant faith, by the name of Benjamin Peters. He is about 24 years of age. Of Captain Tuckey he speaks in the most affectionate and grateful terms, and declares, that by his instruction alone, during the voyage out, he has been enabled to read. He can with ease go through the Testament. He Is anxious to return to his native place, bnt unfortunately no means offer for that pur- pose at present. Within these few days he has engaged himself as servant to a gentleman in the vicinity of Tower- hill. Should he succeed in getting back to his native country he may pave the way for a Protestant mission, which may ultimately supersede that hetero- geneous compound of Christianity nnd Paganism which the Portuguese priests have long since introduced. The Sir Francis Drake frigate is nearly fitted, at Deptford, for the Newfoundland station and will pro- ceed from thence in a few days, to Portsmouth. Adm. Pickmore, the Commander in Chief, will proceed to New Brunswick at the same time, and will reside there during the ensuing winter. The Scarborough, of 74 guns, not more than five years old, has recently been taken into dock, at Wool- wich, for the purpose of undergoing repair. On open- ing the works necessary to commence, it is found that the dry rot has made such havock, as, literally speak- ing, almost to have consumed the whole of the ship. Some other ships in the same dock- yard1 are also found in the same state: and it appears that this irresistible enemy is advancing by rapid strides. One cause as- signed for this dreadful evil is, that the oak is felled in the spring of the year when the tree is full of sap, for the purpose of preserving the bark, instead of, as for- merly, cutting them in the autumn An inquest was held on Friday, at Blackheath, on the body of a seafaring man, unknown ; when it ap- peared that he had taken a large portion of oil of vitriol, which, in the course' of an hour, put a period lo his existence, after being in the greatest agony. Verdict — Lunacy. The lambing Season in Sussex has been unusually productive: more twins, with fewer losses in ewes, have been produced, than for many years past. At day- break on Friday morning, a smuggler, mounted on a horse laden with- four tubs of contraband spirits, in making his escape from an Excise Officer in pursuit of him, was casually met in the Cliffe, nt Lewes, by an Officer of the Customs, who had just retired from Pock- ham's concert and ball, and in the due execution of h s office, attempted to-- stops the horse; but his motions being observed by ihe smuggler, he dextrously disen- uaged from his saddle one of the tubs, and hurled it with great violence. at the head of ihe, officer, which enabled him to escape with the other tubs, and luckily without effecting the personal injury he intended.— The missile tub was of course' staved, and its contents wasted amongst the dust. In the Court of King's Bench-, on Thursday last, D. Prime and R. Marshall, convicted at the last Maidstone Assizes, of interrupting an excise officer, in the dis- charge of his duty on Barham Downs, Were sentenced, the former to two, and the latter to three mouths im- prisonment, in Maidstone gaol.
