, FRENCH PAPERS. French Papers of Wednesday arrived this day. The Moniteur says--" However rapid may be the intelligence of the friends of disorder, they hare not boen able to receive more recent news from Brest, than is contained in the following, which we derive from a telegraphic dispatch. The dispatch an nounces, that on Saturday night Brest remained In a state of perfect tranquillity ; and that the measures ordered by Government were received with confi dence and submission. Thanks to the noble inven tion which does so mach honour to France. We can also announce to our Readers, that on Sunday morn ing, General Lauriston, to wham the King has con fided the chief command of the troops in 'the 12th and 13th divisions, has reviewed the garrison at Rennes, and acknowledged the good spirit which ' animates the whole of them. The same may be said with respect to all the Departments. In all of them, thefete du Roi has been celebrated with enthusiasm; all the Authorities and the Constituted Bodies, who are the true organs of public opinion, have mani fested their indignation against the enemies of our paternal Government, under whose shelter France has found that repose and liberty, which, for so long a time, she vainly sought," The Quotedienne has an article, also, confirming the above favourable view of the internal condition of France. Arrests, however, continue in various parts, which arc supposed to be connected with the recent conspi racy. On the night of the 30th ultimo, a very tall person was apprehended on the road between Lyons and Grenoble. He wore a decoration, and appeared to be a military man. He was put into solitary con finement ; and the Attorney-Generil immediately went to the prison to interrogate hips. According to the latest advice: from Madrid, the Minister at War, the Marquis de las Amarillas, hid again tendered his resignation, on account of the ie fusal of the troops in the Isle of Leon, to obey his orders for putting some of the Regiments on the Pease Establishment, and changing the quarters of others. The Ultra-royalist Papers represent the capi tal as being in a state of the greatest alarm, in con sequence of this refractory disposition on the part of the 'enemy. The accounts front Sicily and from Naples, re specting the affairs of Sicily, are very contradictory. One party represent the principal towns in the Island as coalescing in one common purpose, and sacri ficing local prejudices to the attainment of the gene ral independence; another party affirm, that the City of Palermo is opposed by Syracuse, Catania, and Messina, and that bodies of armed men issuing from each respectively, tender their beautiful Island the scene of every calamity. The Government of Na ples is making preparations to reduce Palermo to obedience, and a small squadron was to sail for the purpose of blockading the harbour. The Palermians are universally armed, and breathe a determined spirit of opposition. The force which they have on foot is calculated at 60,000 men. They had reduced the town of Caltanisetta to ashes, for refusing sub mission to the Junta of Palermo. A battalion of Sharpshooters, and some pieces of artillery, had been sent to-Trapani from Naples. A private letter from Naples states, that the two Members of the Deputation from Palermo, who had returned thither for fresh instructions, had again ar rived at Naples ; but the propositions -of which they were the bearers, not appearing more admissible than the first, the whole of the Members of the Deputation were about to return from Pausilippo to Sicily. General Pepi, it *as supposed, would find somepretext for di vesting himself of the command of the army, having displeased all parties, and particularly the Carbonise: The officers were offended with him for arming' favour with the soldiers at their expense. An offer had been made to General Church to release him from ar rests, on his parole of honour, but he refused it, being resolved to undergo a tzial before a Court Martial. Prince Cimitello left Naples on the 16th for St. Pe tersburgh, being charged with an extraordinary mis sion to the Emperor Alexander. Count Constan ti7.e Ludolf, the Neapolitan Ambassador in London, goes in the same quality to Constantinople. The Duke de Gallo has set out for Vienna, not having, it should seem, been apprised of the order for prevent. ing hint from crosiing the Austrian frontier. A Nuremberg article, dated August 28, says.— " All the public news, and different private letters, confirm the accounts already received of the ap proaching arrival of the Emperor Alexander at Pest. To-day we are assured that this august Sovereign, after having passed some weeks at Pest and Vienna, will visit the southern German Courts, and will then go to London." The Nuremberg Editor, however, sagaciously adds, that this news, nevertheless, is of a nature to merit confirmation. If he should come here his reception will be somewhat different from that of 1811.

They useeishocking im precations, but no violence. The house of Mr. EtaTont, at Clapham, was pri vately entered on Thursday night, and robbed of a considerable sum in Bank-notes and silvet, besides two gold watches, and a large quantity of other va luable property. Thursday night, as Mr. Cots, of Pelican-row, Kent-road, was on his way home, he observed three men near the corner of Whine-street, St. George's, Church, talking together.' As he approached, they walked forward; but *hen they came' to Pelham's dust-ground, they stopped short, and one of them darted on him, and held him violently by the throat, whilst his companions robbed him of his watch, a one pound Bank note, and some silver. They then knocked him down; and escaped, although pursued by a Con stable for some distance. Wednesday, the brewhouse of Mr. Twatms of South*ick, near Brighton, was entirely destroyed by fire.-.-The damage sustained is estimated at £lO,OOO. A cart load of lime, from the kilns of Mr. Owess, of Newtown, Montgomeryshire, was lately, by acci , dent. overthrown Into a pool, which is situate near :the Severn. The late heavy rains causing a Bush . of water, the lime water flowed into the Severn, and - air occasioned dreadful havoc among the finny tribe in the river, to a certain extent. The fish, in their agony, lea ped out of the water and darted to the shore ; while boys and men by dozens waded from the ankle to the middle, bearing away prizes; among which were a vast quantity of trout of vari ous sties, from one to two pounds, and other species; also two salmon, each weighing six or seven pounds, have become victims. _ _ _ Hum Baps oa Hosona.--An Englishman once on a liUnting party hastily struck a Peon (or East Indian foot-soldier), for having let loose, at an im proper time, a greyhound. The Peon happened to be Rajah-pout, which is the highest tribe. of }radon soldiers. On receiving the blow, he started back with an appearance of horror and amazement, and drew' his poniard. But again composing himself, and look ing stedfastly at his master, he said, 44 .1 am your ser vant, and have long ate your rice; and having pro nounced this, he plunged the dagger into his own bosom. In those few words the - poor man pathetically expressed-6 The arm that has been nourished by you shall not take away your life; but in sparing your's, I must give up my own; as I cannot survive my dishonour!" Execurrow.—Saturday last, the three men, Ljttk, Woof, and Armstrong, left for execution at Carlisle, underwent the last dreadful extremity of thelaw.— At three o'clock they ascended the scaffold, erected at the end of the Jail, with a inn step. After Atm strong's irons were taken off, he was very refractory, and the Constables were obliged to pinion him. To the last he said he was a murdered man, and said' he could never forgive the Judge and Jury who had condemned him. Woof behaved himself very quietly, and so did Little, but he was very sullen, and threat ened to kick the hangman, when he was pulling the cap over his face. After the Rev. Messrs. Bone and MARK had shaken hands with them, they were launched into eternity . Woof died with Out a strug gie, but Armstrong and Little were much convulsed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. The Court met yesterday for the purpose of hearing motions, none of than. however, were of any interest.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. CARLISLE ASSIZES. LAWSON germs SAULDER. 0* this cause being called, Mr. Justice PAaax or dered females and boys to withdraw. When [l.O Court was cleared. Mr. Lyrrtanatz opened the pleadings, from which it appeared, that this was an action brought by Jane Lawson, widow, against William Faulder, to re cover a compensation in damages for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Scaaurrr addressed the Jury with his usual effect, and, to make out the case which he had stated, called a nephew of the plaintiff. The witness lives in the house of his grandfather, Gilkerson, a farmer, it Beaumont, in this County, with whom the plaintiff; who is Mr. Gilker son's daughter, has resided ever since the death of her husband; about a year and a half after which event, and about three years since, Mr, Faulder be gan to pay his addresses to her. This witness de posed to frequent promises of marriage ; all the fa mily expected he was going to marry her. His visits were frequent at all times, but became less frequent after Martinmas. In January last the defendant married Eleanor Hodgson. The plaintiff bore a child to defendant, which is now about three months old. Witness had heard defendant say that he would make Jane Lawson a Lady of £5OO near ; believes that he is worth above £3OO a-year. This witness underwent a very close cross-exami nation by Mr. RA.INE:—Has seen him very often drunk, to be sure; seen him both drunk and sober at Gilkerson's house ; sometimes staid all night— Does not know what doing ; has seen him there at night, and seen him there in the morning; does not know where he slept, perhaps by the fire. This wit ness positively denied being a witness to a most . grossly indecent scene,which, it appeared, the Learned Gentleman was instructed would be proved in evi dence. Mrs. Lawson's pregnancy was discovered about Martinmas, and Mr. Faulder still continued his promises of marriage. John Gilkerson, brother of plaintiff, has known The defendant two years, since witness went to farm at Beaumont; observelMr. Faulder to pay very much attention to plaintiff; he always looked in, like any other neighbour, and grew freer, and went in on Jane Lawson's account, when he had no other bu siness; has come to witness's house, and has sent sometimes witness, and sometimes his wife, for her. One time, after his mother knew that her daughter was with child, she was scolding her, the defendant said, she might make herself easy, he would marry her next week. Witness said he thought it was proper, it was delayed long enough. Defendant gave witness his hand, and said witness should be at the wedding. Defendant was not drunk ; each had had a glass, and nothing .more. Witness deposed to different promises of marriage. Defendant, in conversation with witness, and witness's mother, said he had cleared off the incumbrances .a his estate, and would marry Jine Lawson, although his mother ISMS dissatisfied; for, if she and trig wife did not suit, he would make hii mother comfortable in another house, which he would fit up for her. Continued his visits a few weeks after the plaintiff was knofm to be with child. Both this and the other witness spoke to three facts ; the ecostaacy of plaintiff, her sobriety, and her not inveigling the defendant into drunkenness. But the first of these was not attempted•so be negatived, aad the attempt to negative the two latter failed. This witness underwent a close cross•examinatioo by Mr. Serjeant Hoi.t.ocx, but nothing' material transpired. William Gilkerson is twenty-three years of age; is the plaintiff's brother, and lives in his lather's.housk. His sister is thirty-eight years old. The witness's evidence went to spew the defendant's attention to the plaintiff, and frequent promises of marriage, as before given in evidence. Nothing came out in cross examination. The Rev. Richard Burn, Rector of .Beaumont, proved the marriage of the defendant on the 11th of January last. Joseph Bell and John Corry were called to prove the annual value of the defendant's land, of which they did not appear to have any accurate knowledge. Mr. Rama addressed the Jury with his usual abi lity, and laid down a very strong case. Jane Cartner, the wife of Edward Cartner, who keeps a public-house at Beaumont, stated the de fendanesilge to be about thirty. This witness was called to prove the scene to which we before alluded, at the house of the plaintiff's father—defendant being present as well as the plaintiff, and all the inmates lat. the family. With some difficulty witness was made to speak so as to t4row her voice beyond the pre cincts of the present enormous bonnet, and when she became audible, did not communicate what was expected from-lier. Mr. Ratas put - a leading question, which Mr. SCARLIITT promptly obj ected to. Witness was that examined to a transaction which was-stated to have occurred between the two parties, at her house, after aine o'clock in a night of October • 'last. kis sufficient to say, that the stort, es related by this witness, madikfor the plaintiff, aed was cal culated to excite pity for her humiliated situation; and, as related by her husband, it involved the de fendant in as much infamy as the plaintiff.—We now return to the eviditoce. of Edward Cartner He went Jet.Tanses Gilkerson's iskinqsuirefor Mr. Faulder, some time last summer; a girl said that he was up stairs. Witness went - up stain and found him in bed, and Mrs. Lawson standing by the bed-side. On his cross-examination, he said he was sober the night before mentioned; had been at work all day, and in the course of the evening had drank a fourth share of five quarts of ale, having a glass of rum or brandy in each quart. Faulder never made His. Lawson stand up, to shew she was with child. Mr. Justice Pease asked the witness if he was quite sober? and was answered in the affirmative. His Lordship vehemently and indignantly repri manded him, and declared that his conduct made him unworthy of credit. To understand this, it must be explained, that in that part of the examination of Canner which we have suppressed, he stated cer tain expressions of the defendant, and, on inquiry, it appeared that they were used in presence of wit ness's two daughters and his wife. It was the per ' miffing such language in the situation described, and associating with the man capable of using it, which called forth his Lordship's animadversions. Thomas Taylor was the next witness: he appeared a very young man. Lives at Burntkwaite ; was at Gilkerson's the Thursday after Martinmas last, and slept there that night with William Gilkerson. The parts of his evidence which bore upon the case are these:—The party at Gilkerson's, of which the defen dant was one, had had three quarts of ale, and about a gill of rum. The defendant wanted some more rum; it appeared he had made Mrs. Lawson a pre sent of two or three gallons; the plaintiff would not confess to any more; defendant said he knew she had another bottle, and sent her up stairs for it; de fendant went after her, and witness saw neither of them again that, night. Witness went to bed about half an hour after, and got up about five next morn ing, to pursue his journey ; ,it was quite dark. The way to the room in which he slept lay through ano T ther, in which were two beds, in one of which Mrs. Lawson and her daughter, six years of age, slept ; in the other her two sisters. Before witness got up in the morning, he lay a short time awake. William Gilkerson said to him, 44 there is Faulder there yet, I think." Witness heard Faulder go across the room, and discoursing with the two sisters ; heard ,the voices, but not what they said. The remainde r of this evidence, which we shall not detail, proved very clearly that defendant had no objection that witness should conclude that he and the plaintiff occupied one of the beds. Witness went down stairs, and could not readily find his shoes,. Mrs. Lawson struck a light, and came down stairs with a candle. She appeared to be dressed. She said, " this Faulder is a sad one ; there is no getting shut of him." On his cross-examination, he said he told the story. to George Bell and another, a day or two after; be never mentioned it to Faulder. George Bell has frequently been at Gilkerson's ; his evidence was not material. After Mr. SCARLRTT had replieJ, Mr. Justice PARKE charged the Jury at great length. The Learned Judge said, there could be no doubt that the plaintiff was entitled to damages : promise of marriage had been distinctly proved', which the defendant had put it out of his power to perform, by marrying another woman, and had not shown any conduct on the part of the plaintiff to justify his desertion of her. It had not been at tempted to criminate her with , any other man, and believing all the witnesses, in every instance of cul pable behaviour on her part, the defendant was im plicated. His Lordship would not be sure, that if a 'man seduced a virmous woman, under a promise of marriage, and so far debauched her sense of moral gratitude, that she abandoned herself over to ano ther man, an action of damages would not lie against hbr seducer.. But, in this case, the defendant had to complain only of himself. The Learned Gentleman who addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant, would indeed have proved " a case more shocking than any book which was ever written," if he had been able to make out, in evidence, a case to the ex tent of his instructions. The Learned Gentleman was not to blame for his statement of the disgusting scene which 'was attempted to be proved, but the proof of which wholly fulled ; the wife of Cannes proved nothing of it; and if she had prevaricated, and given a statement differing from that which she hid made to the Solicitor for thoprosecution, wby was she not asked if she had used such words to the Solicitor ? and if she had denied then, then the Soli citor might have been brought forward. Thil had not been done. Neither did he blame the Solicitor for so instructing the Leaned Gentleman, he Must have had the information from the defendant, who was to have appeared a prominent actor in the transaction, and on him let the infamy of bringing forward such an unsupported statement rest. His Lordship said, be had come into this country thirty years, besides being professionally engaged in other F parts of the kingdom; but, in all his life, he had never before witnessed anything in - disgusting as this trial. His Lordship said that the Jury, in taking the subject of damages into consideration, were not to form their estimate by the fortune of dr defendant, but by the injury received by the plaintiff; and that she had received an injury, in the disappointment of a comfortable settlement in life, was most apparent They were to make a recom pence to the plaintiff, not to inflict a punishment on the defendant. At the sane time, it was proper to make a distinction between this case and that of a young girl of 15 or 16. The pre sent plaintiff is a widow of 38 years 'of age, and from her experience of the ways of men, might be expected to have been more upon her guard than an inexperienced female of fewer years. His Lordship .concluded with recommending the Jury to give tem perate, but sufficient damages. The Jury withdrew, and after consulting a short time, returned a verdict,!-Damages Dr. WAIELT, who was , so barbarously attacked a short time ago, and had his house set on ire, is so far recovered, that he was yesterday enabled to at tend and view the ruins of his house, and considering his situation, he looked very well. No chic what , ever has been traced of the offenders. 1 •; '
