Fermitlingtheimpottation of foreign trod int6i'rance, but it was adjourned to anothrt d.ty. A Mr. Metre OR LA Toms& comes befwe the French Public with a considerable degree of vapour ilg. This worthy man, it would appear, has been greatly calumniated, for the last twenty years, and to hear him discourse so lustily as he now does, in the French papers, about Religion, Virtue, Liberty, and i'atrintisro, we should be inclined to doubt Viether he was the same personage who assisted 80. '•TAPAItTE: and CAULINCOURT in the seizure of the Disc D'ENGHIEN, and in the celebrated conspiracies of Which Mr. DRAKE and Sir GEORGE RUMBOLD were ilte victims. The character of Monsieur /AIMEE DE LA TOUCHE *as thus drawn by an eminent public writer about 12 !fears ago; his Unblushing appearance before the public at present, proves that his biographer knew him well : f 4 His intelligence and insinuating manners, and his hypocritical though enthusiastic praise of virtue and liberty, make him, with his other personal qualities, to the good and unsuspicious, one of the most dan gerous of all the infamous and unprincipled men who have weltered in the mire of the French Revolution." PARIS, OCTOBER s. Yesterday there was a Meeting of the Chamber of Peers. We are assured that the Court of Bavaria has very Much interested itself with the Pope in favour of the ci-eevant Grand Duke of Frankfort, in his quality of Prince Primate, and that his Holiness has given his entire confidence to this Prince, by directing him to co-operate in the definitive organization of the Catholic Churches of Germany. The Government of the Canton of Thurgovia has presented to the Helvetic Diet a memoir, the object of which is to demonstrate the utility of the union of the City of Constance to Switzerland. This city is at present a Baden city : the Diet has resolved to give instructions on the subject to its representatives at the Congress. Several German Journalists are at this moment en. gaged in a paper war ; the subject of their division is the question—Whether it is proper to entrust the- Allied Powers with the protection of the western fron tier of Germany, on the side of France, or the House of Bavaria ? Some divide in the affirmative, gi and other in the negative, PE'TERSSUROH, SEPTEMBER The departure of the Emperor foe Vienna, which was , futefLiiet the .19tit September, is put off for a week, : ,r.a- On the betaidas et a battle fought between the French and Russians in 1312; near a small Inn, called Gorosen, in Courland, Anthony Chalemin, a soldier in the regiment of infantry of Newsky, was made prisoner, and remained Until 1813 in the hands of the enemy. He had about 320 roubles on his person Which belonged to his fellow-soldiers, which he scru pulously kept until his return, and then delivered them up to the Colonel of his regiment. His Ma jesty has granted him a recompence of 500 roubles, and his Colonel also made him a Sub-Officer. kABTADT, SEP LIMBER 2& • • A letter from Mentz assures us that the future con: elitism of that city is still doubtful. The inhabitants were afraid, at one time, that they should pass under the dominion of Prussia, and they expressed a strong wish to become French ; but the general.opinion now Is that Mentz will become a Bavarian city. There have been some changes in the composition of the general Commission for the Administration of the countries on the Left Bank of the Rhine, situated between the Moselle, the Sane, and the present fron tiers of France, and which Commission now sits in the town of Kreuttnach. This mixed Commission is now composed of the Austrian Counsellors Morhard and Sonnleithner, and the Bavarian Counsellors de Stengel * Armansberg, and Knopp. As the duration of the functions of these sir gene ral administrators is prolonged to the period when the new Sovereigns, to whom these countries shall be given; shall have taken possession, the Commission has thought proper to publish an Official Journal, which is to contain all its ordonnances and the acts of its Government. This Journal is published at Kre utenach. CORFU, AUGUST 6. Lieutenant General Campbell, Comniissioner front his Britannic Majesty and the other Allied Powers at Corfu, informed that the plague had broken out in Epiro and Acarnania r has ordered that the most se vere measures should be taken to prevent this dread ful scourge from visiting that island. VLINNA, SEPTEMICER 41. According to the latest intelligence from Poland, the Russian and Polish Officers live together as the best terms. When General Count Kraanski entered Warsaw at the bead of his division, Field-Marshal Barclay de Telly complimented him at the head of his Suff. From that time the Generals of the two nations messed together, and on the 7th the Polish and Rus sian troops celebrated together, and with great so. lemnity, the fete of the Emperor Alexander. Feld '. Marshal Batclay de Tolly received, in the name of the Emperor, the compliments of all the Authori ties. The Poles testify much attachment to the Emperor Alexander, because they are pomaded that this Sovereign is determined to teams them to their; ancient existence as an independent nation, and that he will me all his intimate at Vienna to attain this obleit e 4 ct. to die great political questions, on which every one reasons as he pleases, nothing here is talk ed of but the fetes which will take plate during the • Congress. The Traiteir of the Court, John) wll give one to the populace, at Which there will be all kinds of diversions, toot and horse races, plays in the open air, &c. fire-Works ) and an illumination of '7,000 lamps. The accounts from Cadii, respecting commercial arrangements, are of a complexion 'very different from what might have been expected, were gratitude one of the virtues by which " the Beloved FERDI NAND" wished to be distinguished. This liberal and just Monarch, who owes the possession of the Throne he now occupies to the blood and treasure of Britain, expended in his behalf, has prohibited the ifbportation of our Cotton Manufactures. Should the informa. tion contlined in the subjoined letter prove Correct, we Lop. our Government will instantly demand pay ment of every farthing expended by this country in Spain, and speedily take proper measures to enforce the demand. Proper arrangements should also be made to open immediately a free intercourse with the New Governments in South America. If the de cree alluded to has actually been issued, we owe no respect to the mother-country which should induce a disregard to our own commercial interests. It is well known that the New Governments wish to maintain friendly relations with England, and we doubt not that Ministers will bestow much attention on this subject. The commerce of Britain is not to be sacri . fir:#(l to FERDINAND and his priests : " CADIZ, SEPTEMBER 18. " Although still without any communication either from the British Ambassador or Consul General at Madrid, on the subject of the late applications made from hence to the Spanish Government, for a renewal of the permission . to export British cotton goods to South America, we are now in possession here of a copy of a Royal Decree, just published in Madrid, prohibiting entirely and abs Autely the importation, even into this country, of all kinds of foreign cot ton manufactures, and allowing only the period of four months, from the 29th ultimo, for the sale and consumption of the immense stock at present on hand, the greater part of which has already paid the ordi nary heavy dtirus, not a penny of which will be re turned on re-exportation. " This occurreoee, as you may readily conceive, has struck us all with astonishment, the more es pecially as no communication on the subject has yet I been made, either by the Ambassador or Consul-Ge neral, for the information and government of the Bri tish merchants here. This latter circumstance, hcni ever, in no manner affects our thorough belief in the authenticity of the Decree, which will he attended with serious evil consequences to our trade with this country, which already, on almost every other point, labours under disadvantages, but ill according with that system of liberality which the services of the Bri-I tish nation imperiously demand, and should have had conceded to it by this Government." Letters from Brussels and Ghent, sof the 28th ult. mention, that the people are very much discontented with the Government to which they are to be con signed. At Ghent the conferences between the Com missioners for Peace had been renewed. GHENT, OCTOBER 1. The American Commissioners remain here, nor is there the slightest probability of their leaving until the arrival of the answer to the dispatches sent by Mr. Dallas to America. There are occasional diploma. tic dinners, as it is the fashion to call them, at which they and the British Commissioners meet ; but it is obvious to the meanest apprehension that no business is transacted at these entertainments. The general ,pinion here, however, is, that the Government of the United States will not grant the cession of territory required by Great Britain. • This country is completely over-run with troops, especially Hanoverians, who are all clothed in the English unifoirn. The sense of the people, notwith standing the compliments so generally paid to the Sovereign Prince of the Netherlands, is decidedly against an union with the Dutch. Letters hay. been recei►ed this morning from Ghent, which state, that the American Commissioners , having learned the fate of Washington, and the result of out expedition against the flotilla of Commodore BARNET, have agreed to the basis handed into them by the British Commissioners.—The writer of one of the letters having been all along of an opposite opi nion, appears to be snore entitled to credit. mammal There have been some inaccurate statements of the force of the enemy on Lake Ontario ; and as our suc cess in Canada very much depends on our superiority On the water, it is material that the comparative state of the squadrons should be correctly ascertained.— The following account may be relied on The 111 p Superior (flag ship), mounts thirty long 24-pounders on _ • - . the pumice*, thirty short 42.poenders on the limper deck, has 350 nice, and cdminanded by Commodore Cee.oncer.

HUNT.—Monday morning, soon after ten o'clock, a numerous field of sportsmen attended in the Bottom, between Swinden and Ascot Heath Race-ground, where two fine deer were turned out ; which ran with great swiftness by the side of each other, taking towards the Old Dag-kennel, making to the left of Brucknell—the dogs in full chace. Be. twcen Casar's Camp and Swindon the hounds fell in with a herd of out-laying deer, and it was some tithe before the .King's men could get them away. They lost the two deer for some time, they having got a-head a long way; but at letgth found them and renewed the chace in the bottom near King's Beach. hill, taking to the left by Wokingham through the inclosure by the edge of the Forest, towards Swinley, where they were taken, after a run of above four hours.—Several sporting horses took tickets for the King's Hundred for the next Ascot Heath Racts.

Yesterday afternoon a most atrocious murder ;via perpoigated on the body of Elizabeth Dobbins, a pour wAsiteistroman, residing at Millfirld Farm, Mi lane, Kentish Town. It appears, that about three o'clock, James Dob bins, the husband of the deceased, who is tiirncoek to the north division of Pancras parish, rritifning to his home from his ordi •iry labours, at.d on entering a room on the ground floor, he discovered his wife lying on the floor with her head under the coppei fur nace. At a short distance from her he found a kitchen poker, which was considerably bent, and co vered with blood and brains, having manifestly been the instrument with which the wound on his wife 'ad been inflicted. On examining her bead he found it hid open from the right eye to the back of the skull, hiving been fractured in the mast dieadful manner. .Life being still remaining, he went out to procure some assistance, and met a man in the custody of limes CO, from whom he leaint they had taken him in a ti- I,t near the spot belonging to Mr. Thomas Greenwood, upon suspicion of having stolen a couple of bundles, which they found in his possession. Dobbins at once communicated the horrible scene that he had discovered in his on n house, and it was concluded the prisoner was the murderer. In this persuasion they conveyed hini before GEORGR Ivens, Esq. a Magisttate for the county, residing in 1L:1164i Town. • games Ciel was first examined, who deposed, that as he was at work upon a new well in Milltiell-lai:e, he saw the prisoner pass him with a bundle undtr his arm, with which he crossed the foot of Highgate Hill into Mr. Greenwood's field. Suspecting Ilona the cautious mode of the prisoner's progress that ha,. had not obtained the property honestly, he followed him, and on overtaking him he. fetirid him examining the bundle, which apparently contained wearing ap. parel : he asked him how he had come by th em ? and he said he had bought them of a gypsey for 9r. Not satisfied with this account he took him into custody, and was conducting him towards the road xshen Dob bins met them, and informed him of the murder of his wife. Dobbins then examined the bundle, and perceived that it Contained clothes which his wile had received to. wash. Elizabeth Jones deposed that she had washed for the deceased part of the clothes contained in the bun. die found on the prisoner. Thomas Oliver, landlord of the Bull and Last pub lic house, deposed that two shirts, ehich stere found in the bundle, were his, and had been sent to the de ceased by him for the purpose of being washed. In the bundle was also found a bill of clothes which was the hand-writing cf the deceased. • George Hemming, an assistant to Mr. Sandys, sur geon, in Kentish Town, deposed that having ficird of the catastrophe, he went to the premises of the de ceased, and examined the wound. S!ie was quite dead, and i.e had no doubt her death was occashaieo by a blow from the poker found by her husband on the floor, or some such weapon. Mr. M. Vister, a truss--oaken, in Bond -street, who also examined the deceased, carroborated this testi mony, and produced three pieces of the skull, and also the poker, which was bent and bloody. The prisoner having been previqusly searched, the contents of his pockets were pifiditced ; they con. sisted of a tobacco-box, and a discharge trout his Mao jesty's ship the Gladiator, at Pl rtsniuutli, of a mass named Thomas Sharp, describing him as 5 feet inches high, of light complexion, and wit'i a mole upon his right cheek. The prisoner, hearing tbis part of the charge read, said his name was "I mamas Sharp, and pointed out the mole. He neither denied or affirmed his guilt. Mr. 'vitas, under all the Circumstances, considered there was little doubt of the prisoner's g uilt, and there fore committed him to Cold Bath-field: Prison. Friday, the 231 ultimo, a murder of a most bar. barous nature was perpetrated in Broaduood Kelly, in Devonshire, by one illexander Bealy, on Elizabeth Martin, whose head he severed completely from her body, with a common hook. A Coroner's inquest brought in a verdict of Wilful Murder, and Bealy was committed to the ccunty An elderly gentleman, resident at Camberwell, was stopped by a single footpad, on Friday evening last, in Maiden•lane, near Highgate, who presented a pis tol to his breast, and demanded his money in a tre mulous tone. The dusk of the evening had approach.. ed, and the gentleman was just enabled to ascertain that the robber, who wore a crape over his face, was not a very old offender; he told him to take away his pistol, promising to conform to his wishes. The robber complied, and waited patiently while he slowly unbuttoned his two coats, and fumbled in his pockets. By this time two men approached. This circumstance. however, did not seem to attract the notice of the footpad, who stood passively at the he id of the horse, as it absorbed in thought. The old gentleman took advantage of this circumstance, and calling to the men for assistance, they secured the robber, and con veyed him to a public-house near the spot. He suf fered himself to be disarmed without speaking a word. Upon their attempting to remove the crape from his face, he seemed much disturbed, and e:idea v voured to prevent them. They effected, i t, and to the surprise of the accuser, he recognised his own nephew. The exclamation of both parties, at the moment, disclosed this secret ; and an explana tion followed, which ended in the discharge of the men who had assisted in securing the offender, and an arrangement which, no doubt, proved satisfactory to the young man, who seemed deeply aff,cted at his situation.
