THE NATION pedal Allies, on account of the feebleness and vacillation of the the Russian Cabinet. Another event, in the mean time, which, in the 14th century would have armed two-thirds of Europe against the person, family, friends, ana allies of the new Pro tector of Germany, appears to have caused some sensation in the Tyrol, and in Saxony. The Pope, before he left Rome, thundered the ban of the church against Buonnparte, his brothers, and his family. down to the fourth generation, and pronounced the same anathema, in a solemn conclave, against the Princes of the Con federation of the Rhine, and all the allies of the Ruler of France. This Papal excommunication has plunged the King of Saxony into the deepest melancholy, from which the most seriou consequences must have been apprehend( d by his Protector since a French General has hastily been sent to Dresden, and quarters have been demanded for French troops. Carra de St. Cyr, the French General of Division, has been at Dresden Since the 14th. You are, no doubt, already informed of the effect which t hi. lust Papal measure must inevitably produce in Spain as st►nn as it is known. But it is in the Tyrol in particular, that it bus revived the abhorrence of the inhabitants against their o,)pressor:•.." AMERICAN PAPERS. WASHINGTON CITY, THURSDAY, AUG. 10.

A case of child murder, accompanied with circumstances of peculiar cruelty, occurred on Monday se'nnight, near the vil lage of Daiston, four *ilea from the city of Carlisle. Mar garet Lewthwaite, theuglOpot cohabiting with her husband, hod long exhibited signs of pri.gnancy. Suddenly she seemed well, and inquired respecting the prices df reapers, saying she wish ed to engage herself. - Her neighbours suspecting that all was not right, made application to the Overseer of the parish to have her examined. At his request, a surgeon attended, who pronounced It as his opinion, that she had been recently deliver ed of a child. Several means were tried to induce her to con fess the time and place of her delivery. &c. and, after some de mur, she at length accompanied the Surgeon into a neighbour ing field. i t was new evening; the dread of punishment operas• ing powerfully on this inhuman wretch, she brought out the mangled corpse of her child from the bottom of a pond covered with sods and mould ! The body of 4p child was cut in seve ral places. ' - ^ ^manner's Inquest held, when She was taken into. evening, and was seen 4, 41,4,. id iv • XL REGISTER. SEPT . . 'l7. The following circumstanw occurred at Staithe, near W th i y • on Tuesday se'nnight.—Mr. Samuel Price of that place, I►.4v.ipg i.enta servant boy with a horse and Sledge, to fete:i a plough :runs the blacksmith's shop, where it had been rep wring, tLe hr►rse tak ing fright at some fish exposed to dry against the vide Dia i►ou'e, turned suddenly round, and set off at full gallop towards the place whence it set out. The boy was thrown off, and the horse and sledge passing over his body; he was taken up for dead. In turning a corner, a fisherman's wife, of the name of Jefferson, having run under the window of a shop on the opposite side of the street, to avoid the horse, the sledge was driven against her with such violence as to throw her down, hreak her lee, and otherwise bruise her in so dreadful manner, that her life is despaired of. The poor- woman is the mother of foOr “i, l n g children, and in a state of pregnancy. The furious aninvil con tinued its course, till turning dow ii an opening leading to the land, it precipitated itself from a staith r over •the heads of a woman and three children, who were sitting under it, the whole llf whom escapetl without injury. Cro-ing the gaud at Gill speed, it plunged into the sea, and nearly upset a fishing roblo, in which were an old man and a boy; the hitter being thrown out into the water, though afterwards taken up V 1 ithout having sustained much injury. The horse then proceeded tow ards another fishing cohle at a mile distance, from s which the people succeed ed with some difficulty in heating it off' with their oars. After swimming about some time in great agitation, It took to the shore, and•ga.lloping up the beach, proceeded zt considerable distance into the country before it was taken and secured. The following curious attempt la effect escape was recently made by four convicts at Fort Cumberland, near Portsmouth. The driver of one of the cartraraftloyed in carrying gravel, being suddenly knocked down, the near convicts seized ou the team, , consisting oft wo horses, when two of them immediately mounted one of the horses, and rode into the stream, in the hope of reach ing Hayling 131:tntl, on the opposite shore.—But the animal not being able to support so great a weight, became so deeply im mersed in the water, that the convicts were washed off and drowned. The animal being thus 'released, returned to the shore in safety. The other horse being mounted, in the interim, by one-of the remaining convicts, he rode it down to the edge of the water, with more speed than motion, and was thrown on his head, and very much bruised.—This horse being now free front alt incumbrance, was mounted by the fourth convict, but he seeing the fate of his companions in the stream, deemed it most prudent not td attempt his escape by the same route; therefore took the resolution of riding more safely across the mud of Langston. Harbour to Milton Common; and in this adventure be was not more fortunate than hiS associates; for the horie soon sticking fast in the mud, the convict was taken alive from off the . animal's back, and the animal was with difficulty brought to the shore. A Cuttnyus Cotrarsair.—A young gentleman and a lady , in a church in South Wales, happened to be in the same pew During the course of the sermon, the ynnth read something i n the eyes of the fair, which made a much deeper impression 9a his mind than the pious lecture of the preacher. As love is sel dom at a lois for an expedient, he presented her with the fol low irrg verse front the second epistle of John :—" And now I beseech thee, lady, not as tho' I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we , love.one another." - After perusal, she, in answer, opened the first chapter of Rutb, 19th verse :—i° /Cud Ruth said, intreat me , not to leave thee, nor turn from following after thee ; for whe ther thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest i will lodge; thy people shall he my people, and thy Gad my God:" This was the trea:y proposed, which in a litttle time was fully rati fied by the clergyman. .
