In our extracts from the French papers we week gave a statement of an attempt on the part of an affluent English gentleman to regain possession of his (laughter. The particulars of this affair are set forth in a very long petition from DOUGLAS Lov MCI, Esq. to the French Chamber of Deputies, from which we abstract the following sketch :—Mr. Douglas has two daughters, to whom he is passion- ately attached—he some time ago was induced to place them and his niece (the daughter of Major- General Loveday, the Governor of Benares), under the tuition of a female fiend named Mademoiselle Ernestine Reim], who keeps a boarding-school in Paris, of whom he bad received high testimonials, snd who pledged her honour that no attempt should be made to convert them from the religion in which they had been educated. The father wrote from England in July last, stating that on his return to Paris he meant to remove them from school, and introduce them into life—he arrived, and subse quently found that, by the most horrid stratagems, their young minds had been estranged at once from their feeling of duty and respect for their father, and their wonted reverence for their religion ; in short, that they had been terrified, by exhibitions too fright. ful for their youth, to such an extent as to cause them to abjure Protestantism, and deride their parent as a heretic for professing it—nay, the eldest a lovely, and heretofore amiable girl, had been cajoled so fhr us to profess herself of the sisterhood of the Convent De la Maternit;..—W ill not this awaken English parents generally to the very great risk they run on the must important and heavy subject of considera tion, by placing their children at &Arno] in a Catholic country? That the Catholics hold all those as heretics who arc out of their own church is an un denied part of their creed, and will English parents longer encounter a chance of being denounced, de rided, and lichl in worse than contempt, by their own children, for the invaluable addition of French frivolity to their other accomplishments? Tuesday se'nnight a complaint was laid belt re Dr. Corbett, one of the Newcastle magistrates, by the Rev. T. Cutterill, against Mr. De Camp, the manager of the theatre there, fire a breach of the Sabbath, the latter having employed workmen in the theatre on Sunday last, in making preparations fin. the Coronation. .The magistrate severely ad monished Mr. De Camp on the impropriety of his conduct : but the latter having alleged that this proceeding had arose out of very particular circum stances, and was quite contrary to his wisher, and having engaged that there should not be any simi lar complaint brought against him in future, the charge WAR dismiSlSed, the Rev. gentleman who pre ferred it not appearing disposed to push mutters to an extremity. Extract of a letter from Trieste. dated Dcc. 25. " A vessel arrived from Smyrna in 11 day a, reports that every thing continued quiet, and business was resumed: and that by the advice:. from Constanti nople of the 10th inst. all was tranquil there."

Tile race was run in 21 minutes and three quarters. Great sums were betted. 4. THE NATIONAL REGISTER OED IiAILEY SESSIONS. ....-... ______ SATURDAY. JAN. 14.—James Tiaras.ll and T.
