I think with you, that all these young citizens who people your University, and whom I consider as the hope of the Administration, and of every branch of the Pub lic Service, will find, in his presence, new motives of encourage ment and emulation ; and that my son, on his side, who will have known them, at that happy age when all the propensities are noble and pure, when a passion for what is good is the first of all, will have solid motives to promdte to the various offices only those who are the most worthy to fill them. " I hope also that he will derive from all your conversations those true principles of public morality and of patriotism, which naturally flow from your happy soci.d organization. Morality has rules, which are no less known than those of the sciences ; it must always be illuminated by the torch of reason.

Your conversations with my son will always place before him those important results of your instruction, which, like your own polar star, direct the travel ler upon that safe course, on either side of which he finds only dangers and shipwreck. " Be convinced, Gentlemen, that I shall always take a lively interest in the existence and in the glory of your Academy." Dutch and Flanders Mails arrived this morning, bringing letters and journals to the 13th instant. On the 21 of November, in the afternoon, a red or reddish-coloured rain fell at Blankenburg and Dixmude, in Flanders. In the following night, the same happened at Scheveningen. Such phenomena have been frequently observed, but no satisfactory chemical analysis of the colouring matter has yet been made public. The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday arrived this forenoon. On Wednesday the KING held a Privy Council, at which all the Ministers were present. His Majesty is said to be now much better. Prince TALLEYRAND 44:11S arrived in Paris. On Thursday he had an audience of the'KING. Another partial change has taken place in the Spanish Ministry. FERDINAND has all of a sudden discovered that M. LOZANO DE TORRES, his Secretary for the Department of Justice, is in so ill a state of health as to be no longer able to execute the weighty dtities of his office. His Majesty has, therefore, ap pointed the Marquis de CERALBO to relieve him of the burden. M. de TORRES was one of the oldest, in point of service, of FERDINAND'S Ministers ; he had kept his place, during three years, amid as many changes as would have sufficed in any other country for a century. On the 28th ult. the birth-day of the Queen of DENMARK 'and the PRINCESS ROYAL, there were some new commotions in Copenhagen, occasioned by the popular antipathy to the Jews. The Go vernment have in consequence been obliged to put the city again under martial law. A private letter states, that on the same day there were also very serious disturbances at Elsineur, arising from the same cause. French 5 per Cents. Thursday, 69 fr. 95 c. It appears, by the accounts from Manchester, that a most wicked attempt was made, on Thursday night last, to assassinate Mr. NADIN, the Chief Police Of ficer, who was fired at by a person so close to him at the.time, that had the ball struck him he must inevitably have been killed upon the spot ; but, for tunately, the person being of lower stature than Mr. M.►DIN, his attempt to shoot him sent the ball in a sloping direction upwards through his hat. We are concerned to add, that the villain escaped. A reward of five hundred pouods has been offered for the ap prehension of the perpetrator of this crime, so abhor rent to the character of Englishmen. The Duke of YORK left York House, in St. htnes's Palace, on Saturday, about twelve o'clock,forWindsor. Saturday, about four o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE arrived at Clarence House, St. James's Palace, from the seat of Sir JOHN GORE, near Chat ham. We are happy to say their Royal Highnesses are in the enjoyment of most excellent health. Yes terday their Royal Highnesses received visits from the Duchess of KENT and the Princess FEODOR, who remained some time. In the evening their Royal Highnesses had a select party at dinner. The PRINCESS of WALES arrived on the 28th ult. at Montpelier, where her Royal Highness received visits from the General of Division, the Mayor, and the Prefect.

I have been subject to horrible and inde scribable pains and burning in the head, which will even deprive me for a time of recollection, and to discharges of water from the head, which I once unguardedly told you of, but you suspected not the cause, the horrible cause of it ; none knew but myself. My beloved parents, to leave you is misery: hut to live is to inflict on you a still greater one; death is far preferable to the lost of reason; surely, you would not wish to see me live, re duced to this last state of human misery, a burden to my fa mily, and an object of pity to the world ; from a very early age, I have been at times subject to the fears I am now con firmed in; before you, my dearest father, I have endeavoured ' to appear cheerful, that I might not cause you utiav,iiling dis ' tress ; but the effort has of late been so painful, that I have been obliged to avoid, as much as possible, your presence. It is my last request, that you break my death cautiously to my beloved mother; tell her the greatest proof of affection she can now shew me, is not to regret the loss of one whose life must have (had she lived) ended in madness. Tell her not to increase the sin of my leaving the world before I am summoned, by making we also answerable for the misery of my parent.— In Ilarriet you will find as good and affectionate a daughter, as to me she has ever been a kind and indulgent sister : you know not how good she was to your Louisa when she had no parents in England to protect her; in your grandchild you will ,! find another source of comfort. To write this letter has been a painful and trying task, but I shall yet have time to compose my self before I see you, for before you I must appear so. Yuu would not let me die, but I cannot hesitate while insanity stares me in the face. Were Ito live a little longer, it might be too late for me to avoid it. I can write no more, pray for me, beloved parents, and may GOD for ever bless and protect you! Oh ! my patents! do you think I could leave you, if I did not feel how urgent is the necessity? For all your tender care of me, accept my most grateful thanks. Once again I entreat you not to mourn the loss of your affectionate daughter, " LOUISA COMI3ERFIACH." " Mai. Manner—The last day of my existence will be passed with you, my ever beloved sister, and the close of it in the midst of my family : to part from you all will be a heart rending pang; but I have wavered too long, my mind is now made up. Harriet, behaved sister, I cannot write, it is too painful ; accept my last thanks for all your kindness to me. " I would ask you, Harriet, if you have another daughter, to let her be named after me. Do not mourn the loss of one whose only regret at leaving this world will be in parting from those she loves so dearly; that once over, she will be happier than she could have been in this life. " Pray for me, and may the Goo of Heaven bless and pro tect you, my beloved niece, and my dear Maddock ! " Unconscious that you see me for the last time, you will smile on me when we part. Oh, Harriet ; what a moment of trial will that be for yore poor sister! " Once more, Om, for ever bless you, dear beloved Harriet; think sometimes, but not with sorrow, of your tenderly attached sister, " LOUISA COMI3ERBACH."- Some further evidence was received in support of the Learned Counsel's statement, and Doctor Young deposed that the yours Lady was pregnant; and the Judge having commented upon the evidence, pro- nounced the verdict of the Court in favour of the Plaintiff, giving 25,000 rupees damages.

UPSAL, OCTOBER so. .~ . l I. I . • The King and the Crown Prince arrived here on the 17th. The Archbishop, and the civil and mili tary authorities, had proceeded to the frontiers of the province to receive them. Near the city, the students stood on both sides of the way, and, as the illustrious travellers approached, sung a song suit able to the occasion. The King and the Prince alighted, and, surrounded by their faithful subjects, and amidst their joyful acclamations, proceeded to the Palace. It was the picture of a father surrounded by his children. During the time that theOn&temained here, the entrance to the Palace was gnarlosiby citizens The city was illuminated:` Amodg the numerous transparenaies, there was one representing the Union of Sweden and Norway, with *the motto, " Vonit vidit,janzit." The liberal principles which the Bing has ex pressed, respecting the education of the Crown Prince, in his reply to the speech of the Rector of the University, prove that he does nut fear the lihltt of knowledge. The speech of the Rector was complimentary, and thanking his Majesty for his protection of the sciences, His Majesty returned the following remarkable and excellent answer:— " Gewrcritrt:—When you first brought me your congratula tions, at the end of the year 1810, I observed to you, that Pub lic Instruction must be especially interesting to a Nation which is the friend of Liberty; that Education, completing the work of Nature, chetishes the seeds from which Heroes, Lawgivers, and great States:nen spring —that it is that which impels youth ful souls to every thing just, great, and sublime. I requested you constantly to remind your pupils, that Sweden had already its Government and its Laws, when a part of Europe was still sunk in barbarism. I was convinced, that by recommending to them the virtues of their forefathers as models, you would inspire them with a noble ambition to maintain the National In dependence. I have now to congratulate you on the success of your labours in the education of youth; and I think. that I can give yuu no more distinguished proof of my confidence and my esteem, than by permitting my son to pass among you the time .1 f •••••••• • r • .6t m y ever dear and respected Parents—Befcre this meets in which his duties do not require his pre pee senc H e de e u l wpo se ili w n h h e i re m . •..4sawan.

The following suit, for the seduction of a daugh ter, was tried before the above Court, on the 17th of March last. The circumstances, as detailed in evi dence, are of a singular and aggravated character, exhibiting the most incredible infatuation on the one side, and unparalleled hypocrisy on the other. The damages were laid at 50,000 rupees. Mr. Frotoussow addressed the Court on behalf of the plaintiff. The defendant, who was a married man, had come out to this country with his lady and her family in the year 1813, on board the same ship, with the two daughters of the plaintiff. An inti macy was formed during the passage between the young ladies and the family, high in rank and situa tion, with whom the defendant was connected by marriage, and which continued after their arrival in this country. Some time after their arrival, the de fendant became the partner of the plaintiff in his profession, and from this time he was looked upon and treated by the plaintiff and his family as a mem ber of it. The young lady hirself, the unfortunate subject of that day's inquiry, Was also treated with the greatest kindness by the family. The defendant upon all occasions professed the warmest friendship for the plaintiff; he showed the utmost concern and interest for the plaintiff during his frequent illnesses, and waited upon him with the apparent tenderness and anxiety of a son. The plaintiff was not insen sible (who could be insensible ?) to such conduct. He repaid it with the feelings of a father towards the defendant. The Learned Counsel here adverted to the conduct of the deluded young lady (tutored no. doubt for that purpose by her abandoned seducer) for some time previous to this day, as being calculated to raise great anxiety in the minds of her parents, par ticularly of her mother. Her demeanour on several occasions was strange, and in particular she dwelt more than once on the subject of the lunatic asylum, and the state of the unfortunate beings who are the objects of that institution. Knowing, as we all do, the sequel of the story, the purpose of this device, hatched in the depraved mind.of the defendant, is apparent; but to proceed. It would appear that on the day in question, upon the separation of the fa mily, about ten o'clock in the evening, Miss Com berbach took leave of her sister as if they were about to separate for ever, but which did not then excite any extraordinary feeling of surprise in her sister, as she had for some time previous appeared to be much depressed in Spirits. Mr. Fergusson then went on to state, that on the following morning, the 4th of June, the plaintiff, as usual, came early into town. That about seven o'clock in the morning he was called to the gardens by a note from his wife, de siring that nothing might prevent his immediate re turn. On his arrival at the gardens he met a friend upon the stairs, from whose countenance be per ceived that Emething dreadful had occurred. He would leave to those who heard him to imagine, for he would not attempt to describe what must bare been the agonized feelings of a Boating father upon learning that his favourite daughter had come to an untimely end, and what must have been the horror of both the parents when they learned that the cause of this dreadful catastrophe was a fear of approach ing insanity ! He then proceeded to state, that soon after the plaintiff left his garden-house for Calcutta, the Ayah of Miss Comberbach entered the room of Mrs. Com berbach, exclaiming that her young mistress was gone, and put a letter into the hands of Mrs. Com berbach, which had been left on a couch, conveying the dreadful intelligence of her daughter having, through the fear of approaching insanity, put an c.d to her existence by drowning lier,elf. He then proceeded to state the conduct of the de fendant through the whole of the scene of villainy. the the moreing of the 4th he appeared,at the gar dens, with all the outward signs of grief and of sym lathy with the agonized feelings of the unfortunate parents. After shedding an abundance of tears, he returned to town with the declared intention of wait irg upon Commodore Hayes, for the purpose of ob taining the assistance of his boats and divers to wait 14 and recover the body; and at the same time re quested that he might be allowed to take with him the letters and papers that had been found, in order to shcw to his family and the other friends of the plaintiff. He returned to the gardens in the evening, and, with his usual expressions of anxiety and inte rest for the family, said, that they ought not to be left alone in such deep affliction, and that he was de termined to remain all night. He slept in - the bed that had so lately been occupied by the lost young lady, the only bed then vacant in the house. Upon meeting Captain Maddock the next morning, he cle• dared that nothing should induce him to sleep in that room again, as Louisa had appeared to him in the night, and questioned him as to his being in her bed. When the defendant next appeared at the gar dens, which was the Sunday following the day on which he bad witnessed and triumphed over the scene of desolation he bad occasioned, he appeared in deep mourning, saying that his relationship to the family, tllrough Captain Maddock, entitled him to appear so, and that he mourned her loss as deeply as he could that of a beloved sister. At that very moment, this wretched young person was living with him in his house, the object and victim of his brutal sen suality! Was there any thing like this to be found in the annals of human depravit/ ? Mr. Faaoussoe said * he would gladly quit a sub ject so disgusting, and would proceed to call the evidence in support of the case which he had stated. The defendant had fled from justice, but he could never fly from the pangs of a guilty conscience. A whole life of remorse and penitence (if such could ever reach a heart so steeled and hardened) would be iniufficient to atone for such complicated wickedness. The first witness called was Captain Thomas Mad dock, whose testimony corroborated the statement made by the Learned Counsel. He spoke of the im pression entertained by the young lady's family that she had drowned herself, and deposed to her having been, after some time, discovered in a house belong , iag to the defendant. He stated that the following 1: tters were in the hand-writing of Miss Com berbach 7 Parent, TEL .11011'. Sir J. C.
