AL WALLER CLIFTON. VOUS FRAUDS IN FRANCE. Mark Anne Goujot, daughter of a farmer at Rut 'near St. Dizitr, has lodged an appeal-from the sentence -of the Co. sectional Police, Which had condemned her to •an imprisonment of 15 months, as gully of swindling under the disguise of a non. Whilst she was yet very young, she had frequently visited the convent, to which two of her sisters belonged, and the monastery of the 44 Brothers of Christian Doctrine s " at Portieuz, of which 'ter brother was an affiliate., member. At an early age she became a nun herself, and entered successively into, several reli t rous societies at St. Denii: The last whictt - she tinkle was that of the G. Sisters of Providence,' which she pretended was governed by regulations of 'too austere a .character. On leaving it, she . devoted herself to a species of swindlieg, which of late years has • become much too common. In her last convent, Anne Goujot bad found a certi •ficate, w hich had been given to slow young . novices of -the south, to authorise them to solicit alma in fitront of 'the establishments for young *Male Orphans. Hawking that document about. and clad - in her costume 'of a •nun, she set herself busily to work to obtain . alms for .the young orphans; and largereceipts witted id to %courage her seal.

It was soon discovered that istiehad asked alms, not only for the establiehdenti of young fensale orphans, bet also for the poor of her parish. She pretended that ber object•was to found an establishment for young rti. Mule orphans ; that she was in want of fundito accons ,plash that object, but that she would soon - be able to collect them by the assistance of certain ladies, witoie passes she pretended to hate forgotten. • • Being conducted to ber own hoti>fe'by an agent of the' ipoljoe; the lady took Tito her own custody several anti. cies of property. The police officer, observing her bide, something very carefully under a towel , asked her whit she was &saying away ? A few setts." she replied. The officer seized the toweVefithined it, and found 12,0001rancs in it.. On their road' she Biked bin) to give her bank notes for this sum, and proposed to him to; keep one for himself. The Aker replied with great -saisz hold to the ex-nun « Viddinnts," and on their :meal at the police dice, paid this money into court. The accused acknowledged that it was the produce of her begging. • • Goujot, who is 39 years of age, appeared tads, be fore the Court in a dress half religious, and with all the outward appearance of affected my sticibm. During the whole of her examination she' kept her' eyes slitit. When examined as to her occupation,' she replied that . the was a semstiess. She added, however, that she retained the dress of her society, and that she did not intend to change ir, because the fiord to enter her convent again. Assuming a tone of inspiration, and raising her eyetto Heaven, she declared that her object had been' to raise' an establishment for the support of unfortunate orphans, and th't the idea of'it bad come to her !tom above. The President—Your idea was good, but we too* that many prisons crothe themselves in the sacred gaih l of religion, to excite the pity of pious persons'; and chef convert the money they receive to their own purp' otiess, lf, instead of keeping in your own possession the money designed for these unfortunates, you had divided' it, among them, you would have carried comfort to the bosoas of many. . Witnesses were called, who deposed.to the facts which, gave rise to the prosecution. After they hid fully proved them, the prisoner said, " Everybody Lai - I on-, erred against me. My confessor, the Abbe de Villas ' , it the only witness [have ; he heti given me ticettificate,, which provesthe honesty of My inteutiona.* This certificate was then read.. The Abbe deposed in it that Ifferie Goujot intended is good 'comet to form an establishment for young feentlempliansi *that the money which she hid collected' was de:titled to that rod work ; and . that her conduct was this of a good Chi isttari--(Surprise sUCOurt). The pub;sc prosecutor, in hii reply, commented with, great energy Utht the certificate, in which' the Abbibid deptised to Illeta'ot which he could have no knowledge. The Court conlirnaed the sentence of the Correc t' al Poke, coodentning the seemed - ie . 15 nsbotts' imprisonment. The 'pri.iiiier then whispered a few words into the, ear of .lier Counsel, whu immediately applied to :the .

General Mahon, wishing to occupy Coron immediately, had invested the place. Ibrahi.n gave notice to the Admi-. rals, that if a single musket-shot were fired, and if the troops made the smallest movement, all the conven• lions should be broken, and that he would not be forced from the Muiea while he was alive.

IL It is IsPre. confid•utly :Aimed that the Dardanelles will be blockaded by the Russians, and that the Rus. sian sqoadroir has already received orders to that effect, because the Porte makes mare resistance than was ex pected, and Maisie must think of employing all the means wh.ch it can „command in order to give a deci sive thus io the war. Great doubts, however, are en. tettaissed .whether England will assent to this new measure of-Russia; end it is lo'ked upon as a departure from the stipulations of the Treaty of the 6:11 of July, by which 'Admiral tleyden has hitherto acted in cuncert with the English and French Admirals. The blockade of the Dardanelles, if it should really be executed by the Ruisian Cabinet, would Cause a considerablesschisns in the political relations of Europe. SarrslB..—Ttroirgh apprehensions have been enter. tained at Corfu- that Ibrahim would not voltintarily leave the 'Mores, no account of ar.y hostility had ,been received up to the 10th, and the merchants were. vary impatient 'tor audieutic accronts, as the blockade has cut off:Almost di.conopereialintercourse With the:Mores. The letters, from Corfu speak in favourable terms the, great irOptovements in she administration of Greece throigh the exertions - of Count Cape dlstria ,• but with 'respect to the military ASIA, they are in a deprolible c.oetijit'she, especially in the land forces. The Corsiosau• deer, at variance with each other, are not obeyed by the troops; and it is surprising, under such circum stances, that the military operations have been so well conducted as has been the case. Thus part of the troops hndet General Church lately mutinied and demanded higher Po l y, and the Captains with great difficulty re stored order, by promising that their claims.should be attended to. It is true, indeed, that things ate no bet ter among the Turks, for though the leaders agree, the troops, and even Whole tribes, manifest discontent and' a spirit of rebellion. Thus the. Albanians lately mutt-. 'tied against Ibrahim Pacha, and the Arnauts are now In rebellion agAnst Redscbid Pacha. The Seraskier, indesid;ls said to take all measures to. snake himself domed. and to have imprisoned several chiefs of the Minces at Janina, who had ventured to apply to the Sultan to dismiss Redschid. It is said that OmerVrione is the active though secret instigator pf discontent with the Seraskier. San. 45.—Metalliques 94 9-16—Bank Shares, *AS& SWISS DISCIPLINE. The Constiftlionnei of Wednesday contains a long and rather curious detail of the proceedings of a Mili tary .Court Martial, composed of Swiss Officers. The Council assembled at Breteuil, near the Barrier of Sevres, in the middle of a square formed by the 7th ' Swiss Regiment of the Garde Royale, to try a serjeant and six Swiss soldiers, who were charged with violence towards several individuals, and intoxication, whilst on dety the llth September last, at the Rue deVangiratd. This Council bad for the President M. Keiser de Frauens 'Win. Captain Commandant. It was composed of too Commissaries, who were delegated to support the charges, and eight Lieutenants. The members of the Coshed took their seats round a table covered with gmencluth. The President produced the Swisi penal mole and the forms of proceedii go The Officers on tbeeccasion, laid aside their stiff collars and their gloves, because the Swiss code requires, as a sign of indepen dence, that 1., y should sit, not as 'oldie's, but as Ma itistretes. Tne Grand Judge commenced the proceed , by placing his sword upon the table. He then announced to the Council that it was summoned by order of the Colonel to try Serjeant Winchard and six tusileers; the Serjeaot for abuse of authority and im proper conduct, detrinsental to the service of the King, and the honour. of the regiment. The privates were charged with disorderly behaviour on duty. TO Judge administered to the Council an cattl e — that they would examine the evidence and decide con scintiously, without partiality, and conformably to the sights and liberties of Swiss troops in the service of his most Chriitian Majesty. All the aims rose, haying their right hands raised and three first lingers open. In that position they said one after the other the following words 7 - 4 I I swear in truth to do so, and I pray GOD to 4414 rue." . • The charge, which was repeated by all the officers , alternately, continued four hours and a half, during which it rained incessantly. An immense crowd of spectators surrounded the square. It appeared that the berjeant and his companions got drunk with eau de vie, Ind in that condition ill treated a chiffosiniere (rag , picker). A crowd collected, and several inhabitants who interfered were also ill used. 'McConnell declared die Men guilty. The serjeant was sentenced to be eon fined one year in irons, and to suffer military degrade dims to'finfeit kis Pah. War the rights of a citizen, and be for,ever rendered incapable of serving in the Swiss troops. The six privates were sent to undergo another trial befote a Council of Their regiment. The , erjeant wok% then snipped of his arms. cap. and uniform. and led about one hundred yards from the regiment. The privates were afterwards tried. and were expelled from the regiment. WINDSOR CASTLE. (Concluded from the Seus of yostenlay.) The ridiculous stories that have gone abroad of the chain in these apartments having cost 2001. a piece, it is almost Needless to say. are totally without {amide. tion ; rodeo!, the most elegant and costly chairs in the place have been brought these from Gerken House, and all the others are t f rosewoisd or walnut tree, richly carved, and covered with silk or satin in . Colour end 'kind to match the hangings of the apartment in which they are placed. The hangings of aft thenpartmentt, are if elliAtalfields manufacture, and me lextemlingly. rich and beautiful, both in pattern and quality. The colours ere 'aliens, such . as scarlet, crimson. fawn colour, &c. It is 'said that much difficulty occurred in weavinc the larger patterns nt these silks, and so tedious and difficult was the task found to be, that representa• tiros were made ft oat the manefacturers that the weavers who worked at them could scarcely s.upport themselves nn the wages it which they winked; but such was the King's determination to have naghing hut English ma nufactures its his apastments, that his Majesty, on hear ing thit, immediately ordered that the wages of the men sb.uld he doubled at his expense, observing at the tame time, that " it would be a disgrace. to English men if they could net equal their neighbours in any manufacture." The carpets in the various toms, which are just now being laid down, are alms las indeed is every other. article of furniture in the apartments) of British work manship, and it is thus gratifying, at least, to know that if much money ha• bran expended here, it has in every single instance been disbursed in aid of British industry, and to forward Brit;sh arts and manufactures. Close to the library it his Majesty's writing room, and in this is a sm ill closet. the key of which is never to be out of bit Majesty's own possession, as this closet is to be the deposiii , tory of all his Majesty's pviirate papers. The principal apartments inthe octagon or Brunswick tower, is a Welke fast room, for company ill the morning. or to serve for the visitors at the Castle to assemble and converse in just regions to their intioduction to the dining-recant and there isbesides, fur the accommodation of his Ma jesty's guests on those occasions, to lounge about in, a beautiful w.arsidor or gallery, which runs round two of the wings of the shole quadrangular buildings. This corridor is about sixteen feet wide, by fourteen feet high. and the windows toil look inwards to the - uadrangle. From this corridor branch off the various apartments .intended for his Majesty's visitors. and they are so ad mirably web disposed, that families large or small can be appropriately accommodated without the slightest 'communkation or interference with each other. . It will take a considerable time yet, however, before these apartments are entirely or suitably completed.— The corridor itself exhibts even now a very splendid' appearance. and displays upon its sides already some fatty or fifty of the best specimens of Carialetti, besides several family pictures, treated historically, by Zoffany and Zaccarelli; together with some whole length por traits of Nelson, St. 'Vincent. Lord Moira, flr.c. by mo dern artists; the whole classed and wronged under the able supefisiendance of Mr. &miler. Much of space, however. still remains unoccupied upon these walls, nor is it as yet understood whether or not his Majesty's small but splendid collection of the Dutch and Flemish .school, lately exhibited at the British Gallery, will be placed here ; or whether their ultimate resting place is intended to be the nevi Waterloo Gallery, so much talked about of late, but not yet begun, although it bas been written upon by some very ingenious critics as a finished building ; and we believe some have gone so far with their imagination . as to describe the pictures that were hung in it. The latter, we think, is certainly the most desirable destination for °this collection; for, notwithstanding the senseless clamour that has been raisld upon 'the subject of this gallery, by persons who kally know nothing about the matter, every person of taste, acquainted with the advantages which such a plan presents, must anxiously wish to see it carried into effect. -The • intended site of this proposed gallery is coctiguous'io the stre apartments, which are always accessible to the public, and present is only a sott of open court yard, or small quidrangle, with windows looking inwards, serving to light the various old pan sagecaround it. These useless passages pulled down, and a proper roof added to admit light from above, would form thewbole of the gantry So much blundered about in the critiques of the day. His Majesty's collection deposited here would add greatly to theinierrt of . this splendid palace, for there is little doubt but that:his Majesty's condescension would allow the gallery, as Well as the state apartments. to be viewed by the public under proper regulations.— The advantages, therefore, of such a gallery are so great, and this !lice at presept so entirely useless, that little doubt remains but the design will ultimately be realised. The workmen are at present chiefly employed on St. George's-hall and the grand Ballroom—the former is a remarkably lofty and spacious building. in ferior only in the magnitude of its dimensions to West ntiost:r-hall itself, and that in no very great degree.— The' grand ball-room is entered at about its centre, and the spectator walking up it towards the great Gothic window by which it is. lighted..is at once impressed Kith feelings of . awe and.woader as he surveys the cant country from this grand and lofty eminence; nor is he less impressed with the true and excellent keeping in which the grandeur and.magnitude of this window itself (the largest in the Castle), 'from which he views it. is with the extensive and delightful prospect I.e beholds before him. Indeed, it is here that the genius and taste of Mr. Wyatville chiefly display themselves. He .has closely seized upon every advantage that nature pretested to him in aid of art, and has, by a most skilful and judicious combination of both, given us a rare union of beauty, magnitude, and grandeur. The artingeinenti of the kitchens. confectionery. and other culinary offices, are principally situate in the north-east angle, and are all and is every respect of the most completeend conven;ent description; the entrant to theta is by a Gothic gateway; formed between two towers, and these towers having a very light and ale.' rat appearance. greatly relieve the heavy line of tint& mg with which they are inetandiately connected. In cone of the apartments in the Cattk of which we have spoken. Ids is yet to be seen the means by which they are to be lighted at night ; but. besides. tue various I 4ber artificial lights that wilt of course being to.susb rooms, it is •unde, stood that they.ere to be lighted and ornamented by splendid chandeliers suspended from tbe 7 eeilings, where indeed already may be seen Geed the staples or loops for that pewee.

LORD WILLIAM PAGET. MOM THE EMILIE FRERMAII'II JuIMINAL. A dinner was given by the Marquis of Amasser. pursuant to custom, to the Electors of the Borough of Carnation. on Michaelmas day last, at which Loyd WILLIAM PAGET presided. It OHM be fresh is Alsit memory of oar Readers, that a 'serious difference of opinion has for some time subsisted between that No bkmen'and a part of his constituents, respecting the vote which he thought proper to give upon Sir Faxects BtlaDETT's motion. Amidst some confusion, Dr. RORCRTS tote and sail, I think; Gentlemen, that if our Representative will coined to chink the toast I am about to propose, we shall see no further cause to suspect his Protestant prin. liples, that toast being • Protestant Ascendancy:— What say you, my Lord ?" It will easily be conceived that the spotting of this question cleated no small anxiety. Lord W. Ponbas insnotly repffed,“ I on" . Thitoast eel then drank wins the Widest ecclame. tions, and every mark of satisfaction Md . cootemeneit seemed for an instant to pervade the wine enemy; but mar k his Los dship's explanation. His LORDSHIP ai.SWe.ed....." I will tell you what I "tan by Protestant Ascendancy—First, the glorious maintenance of our Protestant King upon his throne, the security of our Protestant Constitution, which I be. lieve, above all others in the world, to be calculated to ensure happiness to its subjects, and the unshaken es. balky of our Protestant Church. and all Protestant in stitutions. In a word, the rion-eaistence of Roman Catholic ascendancy ." This, however, by no means satisfied his Lordship's bearers; cries of a drink the toast as we soon it. or re sign your seat; call a meeting, and face us at the . • The uproar having subsided, bis Lordship proceeded by saying— , 4 Now, Gentlemen, you have thrown of the mask ; you have shown me that, in your minds. Protestant Ascendancy can slope be upheld by tram piing upon the rights, and liberties, and happiness of our Roman Catholic fellow countrymen; and it is with this meaning you will have me join your toast ! Never; I burl back with indignation the treacherous insult you Ras offer me; you will send me back to Ireland, having had Me into an act compromising my honour, and the political principles which you have all believed me to are advocated; no, I would rather die than main your confidence and popularity by subscribing to your toast in the odious sense you have affixed to it. Again I re peat, there is soften breathing more devotedly attached to the King,hit country, and his religion ; but as I do MP • believe their glory can be upheld by trampling epos others of different creeds, so I cannot and will, not sob scribe to such principles. Let me here again revert to the original cause of oar misunderstanding. Was 'it that. contrary to your eapectations. I gave a vote to enable the Roman Catholics to fill the offices of Pains Minister, Lord Chancellor, or to sit in Parliament, or even to be one' ot less restricted than they are at this instant? No. Whittaker might have been the final re sult—whatever dry tiiisnioss upon the Catholic Question may be—and I have aheady, iii the early part of this evening. distinctly stated them as favourable to &sato cipatiou-otny vote—And it was for that vote you have called upon me to resign—bras simply io favour of a Committee of the Mouse of Commons to take into consideration the expediency& some Iltelltllte Mints adopted with a view to the tranquillity of Ireland. A can any man calmly and deliberately assert that I have. by that act, violated the principle, upon the faith of which alone, it is alleged, you wee to return me to Parliament? Can any man believe that the happiness, the glory, nay, the very existence of our Empire, shall 'not be shaken to its very foundation. it peace be act re• stored to that bog-distracted country ? Impossible. • Gentians°. I desite that you shall distinctly under stand that I did not come hem for the purpo e.aor am' I endeavoutiug, to advocate or sustain any political principles, whatever they may be. I came here for quite a distinct purpose, namely, to convince' ye u that I have, in this instance, been prematurely and intro petly called upon to withdraw myself from the reply .sentation of your borough. Gentlemen, henceforward let us not misunderstand each other. I have always respected the opinioos, politjcal and religious, of every man—l seek but for a return. 8o keg, therefore o ns shall hate the honour to be your repte.entative, I must and will, ups all vital questions, be uhfattered. I will . 'tearlessly aid. coarcleati oos ly support or op p ose an y 'and every measure s as I shall belay* it to be for the 6. 1
