adts'cript- LOND3N. MONDAY, OCTOBER 7. Three o'clock, p.m. We received last night the Paris Papers of Friday by express, of which the following are extracts PARIS, OCT. 4.—111 s !Majesty, on the report of the Garde des Sceaux, has commuted into 20 years' imprisonment in the case of Fradin, and 15 years in imprisonment in the ease of Sennechault, the punish ment of death to which these two accomplices of Berton bad been condemned. The In:ke of Wellington left Augsburg on the 27th; he expected to arrive at Vienna the 30th. A letter limn Grenada of the 14th ult. states, that the celebrated Riego had arrived in that town on tl.e 13th, and had been received with the great eat honour. He was preceded by the national guard, horse and foot. The city had built a trium phal arch befiire the square of the Constitution. Oa his passage under the arch, crowns of laurel were -thrown upon him. Ile went to his hotel amidst the acclamations of a people who admire hint. la the evening an extraordinary spectacle was given in his honour—all the magistrates, all the officers of the maimed army, and all the belles of grenada, added by their presence to the splendour of*the triumph. 17.—Since the arrival of some persons belonging to the Court of the Viceroy at tolilan, the preparations fin' tine reception of the Sa •vereigns and their Ministers have been catricil on with increased activity. Our city never had such an animated appearance. The troops which are to increase tl.e garrison during Congress will shortly arrive. Several hotels and large houses are already hired at very high prices for the last three months of the year. We have just learnt that expresses have been sent to the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Par ma, to the Prima Duke of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena, with an invitation to come to Verona RI the same time as the Emperors of Austria and Rus sia, and the Kings of Prussia and Naples: The Archduke Reynier, Viceroy of Lomb:tray and Venice, is expected here in a few days, with the chief officers of his Court. SCHAFFHAUSEN, St PT. 19.—During the course of the month several st.perior officers of the Swiss troops, who have served in Spain, have arrived in Switzerland. Those among them who had desired leave to retire entirely from the service, iu order to pass the remainder of their lives in their own coun try, are to receive a pension equal to half' their pay; all those who choose to remain in Spain arc to have places according to their ranks in the Spanish regi ments. FRANKFORT, S; PT. QB.—The restoration of the Order of Malta is again spoken of us likely to be propesed to the Congress at Verona. It is thought the proposal will be supported by the King of Na'. .l . i:es and the Plenipotentiary of the Pope, and in or der to interest the great Powers in favour of the Order, it is intended to offer the Grand Mastership to an Austrian Archduke. The most difficult point would be to find a resi dence ter the Knights; the island has been long since in the possession of the English, which the British Goverment is certainly not inclined to part with, on account of its importance in the Mediterra nean. The Prince Royal of &traria left Wartzburgh on the 24th for Munich, whence he will go to Tagun see, where the Emperors of Russia and Austria are expected. TRIEIiTF, SEPT. 19.—A captain, sailing under the lonian flag, who quitted Kattagulo, one league from Pa:ras, in the Mores, on the .28th of August, and arrived here to-day in writing, that the Turks, who entered the number of 23,000 men, commanded by three Paellas, have been dafeated, and in a great measure destroyed. Drain 'Ali is tahen Frisoner, end Mahomct Alt is killed. The Greeks have lost but few persons in the various combats, but they have to regret the death of one Archbishop (perhaps Germano, Primate of the Mores). They were mas tem of cdrinth at•the end of August. 'file Turkish flaet remained in activity off Paints, but the crews suffered very much from the plague, and every day from fifty to sixty &ad bodies were thrown into the sea. The Greek fleet were watching the Turkish, and preparing fire-,hips. Letters from Corfu say, that the Ipsariots have quitted their island with their &milks, and have disembarked on the Muthern coast of the Mores, despairing of being able to defend their country aping the Turks. &must, SaPr. 1G —A letter from Sores of the td inst. states, that the expedition under Chourachid has entirely failed, that he is sick at Larissa, trying in vain to term another army. PORTMOUTH. OCT 5.--'Phis morning the fictive frigate, Capt. A. King, sailed from St. lielen's for lilsdeira, taking 11. Ve:teh, Etc'. Consul. General, to toe Harmer inland, and Commissioner Charles Ross, C.D , and &wily, to the hitter. MELANCHOLY CARE OP POTSONDTG. Saturday night. at eight o'clock, an inquisition was held be• fore Thomas Shelton, E-qQ Coroner for the City of London, on the body of Mr. Thomas Baker, Goodwin, a respectable jeweller. The jury were summonert to meet at the late residence of the de - eased. No.l, Skinner-street, Snowfall. The jury took a view of the body in the first instance. A re. lative of the deceased wished that the wife of the deceased might not have her feelings lacerated by being examined, but the jury thought her evidence indispensible. Tile first witness war a servant in the family. Hannah Wie. kin, being sworn, stated, that her master, the deceased, was * gohlsmith and jeweller. On Friday night between nine and ten o'clock. her master came home. lie had been out during the whole of the day. Af.er minter lie called out to her to bring him some hot water, as he wished to take some salts, which he thought would remove a violent pain that he felt in his stomach. She brought him some water, and she saw him mix some ruin and water, which wits very weak. lie used only part of the hot water tiir the rum and, the rest remained in the jug. She did not see hint mix the salts. Atter lie had drank the rum and water he went to bell. About five o'clock next morning site heard her mistress scream very violently, and being alarmed, she ran up stairs to see what was the matter, and saw her mistress wringing her hands in the greatest distress. She saw her master lying on the their, at the toot of the bed. Site heard a kind of wiling in his throat ; he sighed once or twice, and then replied. There were no appearances in the roots of his having been sick or unwell. Her mistress immediately sent off for a medical gelid:man. Mr. George Mason. surgeon. Skinner-street, stated, that he was called, at huff-past tive that morning. to attend the deceased, Mr. Goodwin. Ile found him dead; ha hands and feet were cold. Ile had been lying on the ground a quarter of an hour ; and, from the statenient of Mts. G.. he was of opinion that he died at hoon as lie fell on the ground, Ile had not been sick.— Prom the app arance of the body at the time, he (witness) could not say what was the cause of his death. In less than halt' an hour aftet winds he found, in the deceased's room, in a paper, about an ounce Of oxalic acid. The paper hail been opened anti folded again. curl he thought at first part of the ucid had been taken out. On looking at a glass in the room, an incrustatam was found at the baton of it ; this was, at first, supposed by him to he sugar : and lie thought some person had been drinking spirits and water, and had put inure sugar in than had dissolved; but, upon his tasting the sediment, he found that it was strongly impregnated with oxalic acid, and very pungent. Besides the incrustation, there was a spoonful of liquid in the glass, and he was sure that it was a solution of oxalic acal. The body had been subsequently opened, and appeared in every respect healthy, except the etotuach, the inner coat of which was completely destroyed. The appearance of the stomach were such as would be caused by the taking of oxalic acid. The chemical agency of the poison had continued its effect lifer death upon the stomach, and reduced it to a black pulp; in fact, oxalic acid was so very I subtle when swallowed, that its effects were the instant destruc tion of human life. Oxalic acid so much tesetnbles salts, that it cannot be distinguished front it, without a close inspection. Mr. George II urlock, surgeon, St. Paul's Churchyard, sworn. His opinion accorded entirely with Nlr. Mason's evidence ; he wits present with hint during the opening of the body. The Jury consulted liar a short time, and returned a verdict Died front taking oxalic acid in mistake for Epsom sults." It was proposed to add to the verdict... and which said oxalic acid was sold to the deceased by mistake the Event) salts ;" but the proposition was rejected, as no evidence that related to the purchase of the article had been brought forward. LAUDABLE CLEMENCV.—At the adjourned Leeds assizes, in Sepsemher, IS2O, a number of persons from the neighbourhood of Barnsley and Huddersfield were induced by an expectation of mercy to plead guilty to the charge of high treason, and did some of them were subsequently sentenced to 11 years' transportation, rind misers to transportation for life. During the last week, all the persons whoa , sentences were commuted to .14 years' transportation returned to their respective families and friends, to the inexpressible joy of the parties, and noels man received 31. is. towards his beveling expenses from Woolwich, with a certificate of their having been pardoned WI account of their mammy good couduet. The names of the men who have thus beim liberated are J. Hobson, George Burkenshaw, , jl/1111 Fa,rirsiand, the younger, George Bryen, Abraham Ingham, and N% ea. Holland, from Barnsley ; and W. Lindley, Nailesisiel Buckley, and Geo. Peacock, front Huddersfield. John Vallence and James Flowers, it will lie remembered, were pardoned a short time after they reached the hulks. The older Farrimand remains at Sheerness ; and the other prisomrs who were transported fur life were Cent to Van Diessiade Land, and such of their wives and families as chose to share their fos twice have been rytinived there at the expense of government. The crime of maliciously setting property on fire appears to make lamentable progress in Wiltshire. A fourth instance of this sort occurred on Wednesday moruing, when a lire was discovered in the rick-yard of Mr. Bake, of Ford, about two miles north of Salisbury, and though ill alarm was immediately epr ad, and assistanre soon procured, 50 quarters of barley, - 20 quarters of vetches, and about 100 tuns of hay were destroyed before tine Baines could b e extisignished. For tunately, there was very little wind et the time, or property to the amount of several thousand pounds must inevitably have become a prey to the flames. On Wednesday last, as a gentleman was passing near Knightsbridge Chapel with a spirited horse in his gig, a youth wall crossing the road, the gentleman called out, and checked tau horse's reins, which instead of impeding the pro gress of the horse he rushed on with greaLvr rapidity. The lad was knocked down and the wheel went over his body, and, strange to tell, without any material injury. The animal was secured by tbe bystenders, but his fury could not be abated until he had iiterally kicked the gi, to pieces.—On the very same spot, about nine o'clock in the evening, a grulleman's servant was alighting front the box of • chariot, and stepped on a slanting atone, which occasioned him to slip a few inches, by which bin leg was tractnred • little above the ankle. Ile was taken to St. Peurge's Hospital, where every attention was paid him, and lie is ie a fair way of recovery. DUEL.—Ott Friday morning, about six o'clock, a duel busk place between Captain P---r, of the marines, and Mr. M--s, a gentleman well known on the 'flange. The meeting was occatieued, it appears, by a dispute which oc curred on Wednesday evening lust, at Covent garden theatre Captain T—r, either through mistake or otherwise, having forcibly entered • baekney coach, which Mr. M—s had retained for his family, who were at the theatre. Mr. M—s on coming up to the coach, found die Captain just about to enter it, he Irving previously banded a lady in. Mr. M— -s remonstrated, but the Captain refused to give op possession. High words ensued, and the resift wits • challe n ge,4 and the meeting in question, which took place at the back of Illo;laerl House. The parties tired at the mime Medalist ; Capt. l'—r'a hall passed through the collar of Mr. M—s' emit, and the Captein was elightsy wounded in the tight arm, near the elbow. The Sdelilltid that laierCerMd; the Captain declared his readi neys now to opologise to Mr. M • s; the apology MU IN siptoci, and the parties returned to town gaud tiiencs. LONDON MARKETS.
