FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Putts, Oetf. 17.--Yesterday a funeral service was cals.. bested at the Chapel of the Tisileri-s, to commensurate the anniversary of The death of the late Queen Marie Antoinette. !The King was present. A similar solemnity also took place at SlDenis,which was attended by Monsieur, the Duke WA's" goulense, the Duke de Berry, the Duke of Orleans, the Doke de Bourbon, the Duchess de Berry, the Duchess of Orleans, t .e Duchess Dowager of Orleans, the Duchess of Bourbon, the Duchess d'Angoultme,3te. The theatres were all stint last night. A correspondent of the Quotidienne, adverting to the re. collections which this event calls tip, gives the following piquant anecdote, as one which has hitherto escaped all the biStorians of this disastrous period :—When the Roy al Family, arrested in their attempted !light from Fowler, were on their retu risfroin Vurennes to Paris, the Dauphin having remarked on the buttons of M. Barnave, one of the Deputies appointed: b' the National Assembly to attend the Royal prisoners, the device Ta lire free, or dee, turned to Isis mother and said, 1 . gamma, whet does 11141. mean, to live freer —' My son (replied the Queers) it is to go where we please." " Alt, 111411111 M (rejoined the intant quickly), then we are not free." Her Majesty bade him be silent, but B was lunch moved, and 11 . 014 this and other circumstances duriug the jollities, returned full of grief and repentance to Paris, where he soon afterwards paid with his head for his desertion 'rom the colours of the revolution. A project has been submitted to the Government for rata- Wishing a basin under the walls of Patio, from whence mer chant vessels may proceed direct to the sea, A company also proposes to establish a direst communication by water +for the conveyance of anerchandite between Paris and Havre. Their Majesties the Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia are expected at Paris on the 25th. Private letters from Aix-la Chapelle, dated the 13th, state, that on the 17th the Emperor will sleep atValenciennes, on the 18th at Man .beuge, where his Majesty will remain the 19th, and on the 30th will proceed to Sedan. The troops of the three powers of the North, stationed on this lineovill occupy all the villages near the river La Schelle. There will be some meltwater • and sham battles. The troops will then be assembled at Fa •rnars, where they will defile before the Sovereigns. Imme diately after this review the Emperor will repair to Paris; it is said he will not pass more than a very few days in this ca' pital. His Majesty will return to Aix-la-Chapelle on the 29th, to ratify with his allies the laboars,with which their Ministers 'will have been occupied during his absence. At Aix-la. Chapelle he will remain ant' [ the 10th of November, when be will set o ff for Brussels. lie will remain a fortnight, domesticated with the Empress Dowager of Russia, the Prince and Princess of Orange, the King of the Nether. lands, &e. The Genoa Gazette relates the following fact, which affords another proof of the excess to which jealously may mislead • the human mind ;—" A man named Passadore, aged 36, who was recently admitted into the corps of Royal Caribiniers, being quartered at St. Pierre•d'Arena, had formed an inti macy with a young female of that Canton. He conceived that he hail snore casino to doubt of her fidelity, and all of a sudden bin jealousy turned to fury. On the sth of October, at seven o'clock in the evening, he exiled upon her and thrust his sword through her body. He afterwards hastened to the barracks, sud without any known motive twice discharged his musket at the Brigadier of the company, who was in bed with his wife. • Not being badly wounded, the Brigadier leaped out of bed and effected his escape. The wretch then directed his murderous attack against Isis wife, and shot her dead with a pistol. Thus remaining master of the field of battle, with ammunition, Passadore barricaded himself in one of the barreh k rooms, threatened those who attempted to approach, and tired several times through the window into the street. A detecliment of soldiers at length arrived, to take this fero . ciuns villain into custody. The first of them who advanced he killed ; and wonnded four others, two of them mortally. The next morning, as they were preparing means which left the assassin little hopes of eseapinu, he appeared at the window dressed in the full uniform ui his regiment, and after .siltiting the assailants, terminated with a pistol his own life anti his crimes." estant.trron,.SEPT.l7.—A report having prevailed that the Yellow Fever had made its appearance in this city, the Commissioners of the ftm.rd ut Health owe it to the public to mate, that no death has taken place this sewn by that dis case.—By order of the Board, R. J. TUR N avLL, Chairman. • PERTH, Oct. 15.—0 n Thursday week a gentleman from the country left a house in High Street, about II o'clock at night, with the intentions of • returning to his lodgings ; but having mistaken his way, lie only discovered he was off the righhiltreetion by finding himself all of a sudden struggling in the river. Alter en ineffectual attempt to regain the bank, he bad sufficient presence of mind to throw himself upon his back, and allow himself to be carried gentlydown the stream, while Me called out lustily for assistance. In this very criti. cal and dangerous situation he floated down the river,(which was a good deal flooded at the time,) till be came opposite to the New Shore, where his cries raised a dog on board of a lighter, in which two men were below, in bed. Awakened by the barking of the animal, the men immediately got upon dee k.and made all haste with a boat to the place from which tile cries of distress proceeded ; and fortunately for the stranger, reached it in time to Save his life. He was illllll,. finitely conveyed on board of the lighter, where he remained for the night. Next morning he was so far recovered as to be able to return to his friends is town, and give them as account el his perilous adventure.

On Minnlay morning the first lune of the new Crown Pieces took place, not to the Public, but to the Bank clerks. . Every clerk on the establishment received one, for which he had to sign a book. This coin willcomplete the series of the new sliver monies. The obverse is impressed with the effigy of his Majesty, with the inscription Georgina 111. D. C., Atc. and the reverse has the figure of St. George encountering the Dragon, surronaded by the Garter. The edge of the-picee is marked iu raised letters, with the words defer et tetanus," and the year of the King's reign. The he'd of the King is modelled iu the antique style, after the chatacter of the Greeks, and combines with the gracefulness of the design, the best and most pleas ing likness of his Majesty that has yet appeared upon our coins. In lien of the Royal Arniv, which afford no scope for the ingenuity of the artist, the subject of the legendary tale of St. George and the Dragon has been adopted for the re verse, and is a well chosen and pleasing allegory, suited to the occurrences of the times. In the image of the tutelary saint of England, mounted on a spirited horse, and trampling upon the fallen dragon, whose body is pierced by the spear, which has been broken in the encounter, while the Hero prepares to renew the attack with the sword, is displayed an obvious allegorical representation of the geniiis d and *alum. of Britain triumphing over the Demon of Anarchy and Des potism. Justly described as our glory and defence (deers et gatemen) this beautiful coin will transmit to posterity a record of the great and brilliant events, which, under Providence ha'e led to the restoration of peace and happiness through. out the world. The design and the engraving of the steel die is by Pis trace', who has lately been employed at the Mint ; and com bines an excellence and composition of style unknown in modern times, and equal to the most brilliant works of the ancient masters. We nnderstand, however, flint by order of Government, the further issue of the new Crown Pieces to the public been restiained, on fleeoallt at the introduction ihi4 the th e the name of the Italian Artist who executed it.

A letter from Mr. Alderman Atkins was read, expressing his ter dings to take the office of Mayor. It was ordered, in the usual form, to be entered on the journals. KEEPER OP WHITECROSS-STEET PRISON. Mr. Davies, in introducing a petition from John Piper. complain ing of loss sustained by his appointment to be keeper of Whiteaosss street prison, by the Court of Aldermen, who, in fact, had no power to make the appointment, was anxious to avoid every thing that could possibly be construed into an trance to the Honourable Court over which his Lordship presided. It was not for him to go unto the question of the privileges of the Court of Aldermen. The Court of Aldermen did in fact appoint the petitioner as a tit pereon, and no objection was ever suggested against hischarocter or abilities. The transaction occupied altogether nearly sixteen months. He was to be provided with securities, to the amount of tlO,OOOl. He was now left completely without any provision. The Court of Aldermen had discovered that they had not the power to appoint a keeper, but that it was the province of the Sheriffs. This was altogether as severe a case as had ever claimed their attention. To sppornt him to this si tuation was now altogether impossible. Such had been the petitioner's respect for the Court of Aldermen, that although he might have pro cured the favour of others, he had not applied Tor it, while the Court claimed the right of appointing the keeper. The Court of Aldermen had Offered 3001. as a compensation for his disappointment. This was a very inadequate compensation to a man who had held a situa tion of 6001. for 9 years previously, and who had been obliged to give up that situation, at an hour's notice, by the terms of this appointment. The Sheriffs had lately appointed a Mr. Thacker The petition was then read. It stated the facts already detailed, and prayed for 5001. now, and 2301. annually, as a compensation for his disappointment. ' Mr. Davies moved to refer the petition to a committee, with orders to report. The motion was then agreed to ; as was a further motioiN to refer the report to the Gaol Expenses' Committee, in order td consider what might be a proper compensation to Mr. Piper. COTTON'S WHARF. The petition of George Ware (as the Executor of Mr. George Atkinson, the late lessee), was now read, praying to have a lease of Cotton's wharf, Tooley4treet, for 21 years after Christmas 1819, at the yearly rent of 2,3001. and 941. ss. 4d. in lieu of land tax re deemed, in terms of the report of the committee on the aVtli of July, 1818, which recommended the letting of the wharf to Mr. Ware. This report had been referred back fur reconsideration, which re solved on letting the wharf by public auction. Mr. S. Dixon proposed. " That the Court agree to the prayer of the petition ;" which after as animated debate, was a ;reed to, with one dissenting hand (Alderman Atkins), and it was referred to the same Committee to execute it. LORD ELLENBOROUGII. It is reported to be the intention of the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench to retire from a sittiatiou which he has filled fur above sixteen. years with equal honour to himself and to his country. It is remarkable that that Court, in so long a period as sixty.two years, has had no more than three success►ve Presidents ; but all of these hate been men,wbose names reflect the greatest lustre on the legal history of their age. The Esrl of Mansfield was raised to tbr Chief Justice ship in November, 1758 ; Lord Kenyon, in Jnue 1778 ; end Lord Ellenburough, in April 1802. Eminent as the two for mer of these peat Judges were fur their talents and virtues, their successor has maintained the dignity of his high office with undiminished splendour. He has followed the Most tloos examples of his prederessors, in their most striking excel_ knees. It was remarked of Lord Mansfield, that Iron) ins first coming to the Bi nell, lie •set 1l i 11l self to introduce regu golarity, punctuality, and dispatch .is, the bosniess of the Court, Circumstances of inellcutlatile Importance to tl;e public at large, stint iu adhei lug to which L •rd Ellen borough has sliewn an iudel'a•igable per•l'sef.6lll'l..
