• ~. THE CASE OF FUALDES. • The extraordinary trial which some years ago took plate in the South of France, in consequence of the as sassination of M. Fualdes, and which, on account of the evidence and conduct of Madame Manson, and . other remarkable ci rcumst ances connected with the case, engaged at the time the attention of all Europe, is like ly to become again a subject of public interest, if the fart stated in the following letter be true : TOULOVSE, SEPT. 26. " firometzon,-1 beg of yon to give the greatest pub licity tattle following statements : " Bousquiei, who was at first implicated in the charge, and afterwards cited as a witness in the proceedings rela tive to the assassination of the unfortunate Fualdes,died at Rodez on the 20th of this month. Before lie died he made and signed the following declaration:— " 1, the undersigned, being on the bed of death, wish ing to appease the remorse of my conscience, and to re pair, ac far as I am able, the wrongs I have committed, to declare before Hod, who searches my heart and knows that I speak truth , _ that all that I deposed relative to the aqsags ination of M.

A most serious Riot took place at Peel on Sunday, in c3nsequence d the advance upon flour. Several honses belonging to bakers and flour venders were literally gutted. This spread consternation through the 'Wand, and not 'without reason, for last night a similar outrage was perpetrated in Douglas, where the . s inflows of several houses belonging to persons of the above description, were demolished, and the spirits acd wine (whief it is not unusual here for traders of this sort to sell), set flowing into the streets. Yester day was also another serious day at Peel ; a dreadful riot Lasing occurred, but the Manx cavalry were called out, and the ringleaders secured. Douglas, Friday, half-past 8 p. m. At present all is quiet; every precaution has been taken, constables sworn in, &c. &c. ; and a large party of gentlemen of Douglas are gone over to protect the Nunnery-mills, belonging us M r. It. Whitti tigham, about a mile from this place. The principal sufferers of last are himself, who is a miller, Thomas Garrett, corn-dealer t houms (idling, ditto ; James Caine, ditto ; whose houses have been nearly demolished ; every thing was thrown into the streets, sugar, wine, float, &e. Troops from England, lam informed, have been already ordered. I have been to see the houses wrich have suffered ; groups of ill-looking fellows are visions parts of the town, all with bludgeons. Eleven o'Clock, Friday Night. • I have been all through the town, which, in conse qt.ence of not being lighted, and being one of the most rfgebirly irregilar built towns in Europe, believe we, or, a'ci'glit like the present, is not over pleasant. To the credit of those on half-pay, resident here, they have, to a man, nearly 100, taken up arms for the de fence of the island, each being served with twenty rounds of ball cartridge. Whittingliam and Caine (two persons whose property, since they left this, has been destroyed) sailed for England by the first vessel, after the breaking out of the riots at Peel. Much irregular conduct is expected here to night, the half. pay soldiers having taken their stations, two and two, at the. corner of each street. Troops are expected by Sunday, at present there are none on the island. Twelve o'Clock. All quiet up to this hour—should any thing serious take place previous to the steam-packet's arrival, you than have it, if I sit up until four o'clock. STORMS. NIEWCASTLC, OCT. s.—On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last, the equinoctial gales were very boisterous in this district, and must have beaten out the enrolls good deal, if any be yet standing in the fields. The wind was from the west, and consequently the shipping on this coast was secure; but considerable tisane has been sustained on the shores of Cumberland and Lancashire. We are sorry to hear, that the high wind on Monday last, cracked through the middle, the elegant painted window recently put up at Brancepeth Castle, containing Mr. Stothard's design of the battle of Neville's Cross, executed by Mr. Muss. CARLISLC, OCT. 6.—Op Wednesday, and Thuisday, iR consequence of the incessant rain, the rivers were much swollen, and the grain which was unhoused greatly in jured : however, we are happy to state but little, compa ratively speaking, was in that condition. On Wednesday se'nnight the river'Annan was swollen to a greater size than bad been remembered for many years, and it is feared much damage has been sustained upon its banks. A great number of trees, paling, &c. were discovered floating past the bridge, at Annan. The rain which commenced at the latter place, on Tuesday night, and continntul without intermissaion for 28 hours, having been, without doubt, more heavy at the heads of the river than near its confluence with the Solway. EDINIWROU, OCT. s.—Thte dreadful storm of Friday and Saturday last has give* rise to various reports of losses on the Irish and -Masks coasts, none of which; however, seem to be authentic. On Sunday the wind was comparatively moderate, Woe Monday it blew a complete hurricane. ASTUONOMIC Puswomarlow.—Acciesliag to observa tions made by 01.

TECTOR OF Tile 7s: EW PREPZ-BAG PLOT es) i l l reply to . the statement of Mr. T. Jullion, the MOO tee. Clerk, on the 25th tilt. In that statement is the fol lowing passJ2:e:--- 7 "The paragraph goes on to state, To this we have to add, that a tradesman of Hammersmith was pe remptorily sent for by the Magistrates and examined,. relative to his knowledge. of the affair.' This asser tion is grozsli prise, - no tradesman was examined by ,.. ' the Magistrates upon the subject alluded to." In order to enable the public to judge between Mr. Jullion and himself, at to the onossxess or TilE eaLsenooo,.the writer takes occasion to assert the sub sequent particulars :--!" About a fortnight previous to the Meeting of the Mairistratea at Hammersmith, for the purpose of renewing the Licenses, Mr. llirnie wrote a note to a Mr. John Millwood, a stone-mason, of Hammersmith, requesting he would call upon him at the Public Wee, Bow-street ; the Magisterial sum mons was instantly obeyed, and the following is the substance of the MaOstrate's questions and enquiries. The tradesman, after being informed that Mr. Birnie had information upon oath on the subject; was asked, among a variety of other questions, the following : If he b a d not, in conjunction with Sir R. actuated, and given the people triseney to'pdll upithe stones at the end of Church-lane? If he was not RE qnainted intimately with the person of Sir It. Wilson And on his replying to both these questions in the negative, the worthy Magistrate inquired " if he did not see a tall gentleman on a tall horse, with a star on his breast, give five s:lillings to the me n—and if the same person had not a pot of beer resting on the pummel of his saddle, out of which Ike afterwards drank the health of the persons who were pulling up the stones?" These questions met a most derided ne gative. (By way of refreshing- his memory, I suppose), the Magistrate observed, that Sir Rob it Wilson was a very remarkable man ; he was very tall, - anti very discernible on that occasion. These and a number of other such questions met with similar contradictions, when the witness w:is ordered to withdraw, without receiving any other satisfaction for 1 1 k trouble and loss of time, than the honour of having hail a private interview with - Mr.—now Sir Richard Itirnie."

Halifax Papers arrived this morning to the 20th September, and New Brunswick to the I•2th Sept. from which we extract the following : [FROM TIIE PAPER OF TIIP 29T11 6EPT•] DISTRESS ING FIRE. The conflagration on Monday morning last, was one of the most awful and destructive ever witnessed in Halifax. It originated in Sackwell-street, in the bakery occnpi&d by Shnry and Milany, and before it was discovered bad gained an alarming 'height. It was nearly two o'clock when the bells were twig. — The troops and seamen of his Majesty's ships, with the inhabitants, soon assembled. The engines were most judiciously placed and every exertion made to extinguish the fire; but we regret to state that before any check could be given, the %thole bulk of Luna ings (with the exception of a house situated the corner of Sackirell-street, occupied by H. Croskat:4lte Molise occupied by Mrs. Wilson in Birmingham-street, and a stable belonging to ►V. Johnson) was consumed. For some time apprehensions were entertained that the fire would Weed to the opposite side of the street, but fortunately it did not. Of the property burnt only 1,5001. worth was insured.

By her we learn that the fishery that had been very unsuccessful in the early part of the season bad, within the fortnight previous to her sailing, turned out much more favourable. Captain Hore states, that about a week before he sailed, he spoke *an American vessel, the master of which informed him that there had been a - serious quarrel between the American and some Nova Scotia fishermen near Cape Charles, in which 14 men were killed. Paris papers to Sunday last arrived this morning. Coder the date of Vinson, Sfptember 25th, there is a a blank effected by the Censors of the Press by the erasure of sixteen or eighteen lints. The paragraph that follows states that the traces of a conspiracy in Transylvania had been discovered, and that many Ministers, not of the Established Church, bad been arrested. In the Assembly of the States of the district of Pestli, some resistance has heen shewn•to the propo sitions of the Court. The' Count Fistelits and the Baron Orozi have held language not agreeable to the government. It is demanded of Hungary to fur nish withoutdelay 28,000 reeraits, who had been due by her since the year 1815. Commercial Louses at Vienna have received letters from Wallachia and Mol davia. The former announce that the battle of the 21st of August at Bucharest, between the Turks under the orders of Kiaja Bey and the Arnauts under Camilla Sava, had been very bloody. J lie Turks had lost 1,000 men, ant 800 of the Arnauts had perished. Of the latter, one only could make his escape, by taking refuge in tl►e house of the Austrian Consul. Almost all the houses is Bucharest had been plundered. In Mcildavia, the tranquillity was not greater. On the 30th of August, '2OOO Hetairists made a sortie from the mountains and attacked a hundred Turks, whom they found in the little town of Folti chan. The latter defended themselves in a brick house situated before the gates, with much bra. very, and succeeded in escaping. The Hetairists oc cupicd Foltichan until the Ist of September, but aban doned it on the approach of 800 Turks. The country is laid waste and plundered by the Greeks, the Arnauts and the Turks ; and the peasants and Bohemians (gip sies,) who have lust their property, accompany them in the work of pillage. Twenty Turks lately approached the Austrian frontier near Suesava, where they found nothing but a post of some of the frontier guards. Two of these without arms, went to meet them to ap prise them that it was the Ausaian frontier. The Tunls replied with musket shot, and approached the principal post which consisted of four men. The lat- ter fired, and one Turk and two horses fell. The troops set ufiat full gallop, but soon returned with a reinfure went of 200 men. The Austrian post was also rein- forced with twenty men and an officer. The latter de manded of the Turkish commandant whether be pre sumed to make war on Austria; but the Turk apolo gised with much earnestness, and entreated that the occurrence might be considered as not having hap pened. The Porte, it is said, has recalled Joussouf, Pacha of Braila, on account of the cruelties he bad committed in Moldavia, and appointed a successor. The A vatourg Gazette quotes a long article from the Austrian Observer, relative to the sudden departure of the Austrian and Russian ministers from Lisbon, which contains the following remark on the Circular issued by the Portuguese government to its ministers abroad: " It is a must strange assertion in this circular, that the note delivered by JI, de Berks, by orders of his Court, was induced by a false statement of the affair published in the English Courier. If it were pranitted to believe that the Imperial Court c Alla be guided by the statements of foreign newspapers, in giving instructions to its diplomatic agent', such a supposition would be wholly akbitrary and groundless in the present case, as the direct communications of M. de Berks himself, founded on indisputable facts, were fully sufficient to make the affair clear." By accounts from Spain, the political affairs of that country appear to be proceeding favourably, and the progress of the epidemic to, have been checked., In France the elections have began, and are going on very quietly. In Hanover, the States, it is said, .will be convoked immediately after the arrival of the King, anal his Majesty will make a proposition, tending to relieve the country from the burthen of maintaining an armed force disproportioned to its resources. To at tain this end, there is a rumour that 15,000 lianove rians are to form the garrisons of Mal:a, Corfu, anal the lonian Islands ; and that they will be paid by (heat Britain. This, hOwever, is an improbable story,' as there appears no pretence, while the British army is so numerous, that a foreign corps should have a prior right above our own native military, to British pay and promotion. The Dukes Charles and William of Brunswick-Oels, arrived at Frankfort, on the 29th of September, from Lausanne. These Princes were proceeding to Hanover, to meet their guardian,. his Britannic Majesty. At Leipsig, there is a report that several Sovereigns trill soon visit that city, for one of whom apartments are already engtol. Besides, the King of the Netherlands, the Kirik of England, and the Icing of Prussia are spoken of. At Brussels, it is said, that after having stoppetta fortnight at *Hanover. his Britannic Majesty . will proceed' to Vi e n n a, w h ere he will meet the . Emperors Franci.anal Ale:andel., to determine the fate of Turkey. Fitatqcn FUNDi.—Five per Cents., •n Friday, 88f 60c. t and, accordin g to ',Ovate letters, on Soterday, . 891. 40c. The KING OF ENGLAND'S progress througl► Prance and the Netherlands, has not been marked by a ny particular incident, save that of cracking WM Wo es of wine amongst the French soldiers at Calais, a n d giving them four francs each, for which they emitt e d Vise k Ruh d' Angkterre, which his MAJESTY sehrles, ledged in the most polite and gentlemanly sumer, ai be sure the ladies did sot enjoy the Royal Visiter with that eclat, as Isis Majesty kept close in hi s carriage and did not even honor them with a stel e , what a.pity that the KING should not skew his fate s a others as well as his friends in Ireland, there he was at hdroe, and will, hereafter, in all probability, ala s it the solace of his disappointments elsewhere. It also appears the Flemish Boors would nut lend smile to that monarch, who so long fostered their Kum, and actually shoved as much indifference, as me t h phlegmatic silence as if his Majesty, the politest gentle. man in Europe, was a common Burgo-►►►aster ; it valor innately happens that those we do most for, ev es least about us, was it otherwise, his Ma'am mui take Paris in his road. • But the Bourbon's are disliked by the great body of the French people, and it is na tural to suppose their guardian, or any of those who contributed to force them on the natives, coitfd.not escape the taunts of so many disappointed officers who lounge about the French capital, we therfore approve of his MAJESTY'S determination to avoid had eonipasy, and we should be heartily rejoiced to find he w a ul4 adopt'similar sentiments Neater home. However, we must wish► his M AJESTY a more pleasant journey to his German dominions, and safe home to the arms of his friend and sheet anchor, JOHN BULL. While the foreign journalists are still speculatint on the journey of the KING of England to Vienna, we are assured that he is expected, by his household, al his Palace in Pall-Mall, to return to London the latter end of this month. When we take a retrospective view of the politics of Russia and the Porte, we must refer our readers to those opinions we have so long held out. Experience has convinced us, that where religion becomes a matter of dispute, the prejudices and worst passions of the par ties are brought into action, and ultimately prove a greater bar to reconciliation than any suhject what soever. Russia being of the Greek Church, it is natural its councils should be favourable to their °mewl brethren ; but then, the Greeks have declared k Liberty and the Rights of Max, which is a crime of the first magnitude to the Northern Emperor and his Unholy Alliance, so that if he goes to war and cos quers the Turks, his army might imbibe the Oki cal principles of the Greeks, and the care la come as bad as the disease. Notwithstandiag die powerful, this dangerous impediment in the et ALL'ANDER, we still think, if the Grand Turk duet suhauissibly bend to the conditions of his opponent in the fullest sense of the word, he will be exterminated. Austria is like a bully, lying by until the Turk is struck at, when be will come in for a part of the plea der, as he did upon the division of Poland. Spain is is a dieturbed state. The uneasy iotrigas of the seta/ Fop* Ultras, have, every day, become inure istaniat4lskry tty to light up the flame of civil war in Spain. The Royal EMBROIDERER and ths BOURBON party have placed that sanguine monster, Illoatu.o, at the head of the army, whose career is Europe and America, has been disgraced by the waste of human blood, and who, like other great Captains, think man was made to be butchered by ruffians in regimentals. At the same time Gt. "era! Riego, the soldier of the people, is deptiird of his command at Saragossa, and like ether brave men, under similar circumstances, defies his enemies to the charge. They dare not expose their infamy, their con entice, but like assassins in the dark, stab the hour of a brave officer, crowned with the laurels and blessise of his country, but [liege will overcome his enemies and cover them with disgrace. The people of Spit, will it, their brothers-in-arms, the brave Porte,. will it, the axe laid against the tree of liberty, win be death to the hand that Pees it. The infatuatinsi the Spanish Ultras is pitiful in the extreme, they continue to oppose, the Independents of South America. and keep up a war that must end in the annihilation of their hopestett holding atrilere iff laud 10 Ca lutnbia ; their 111-fah.' disposition . to blood-shed, at once prevent their attempts to form a treaty of pace and eommeree with a people already determined tow to submit to the Spanish yoke, and to enjoy (rebel as unlimited as their brethren of the United SO% who have shown to the world that man only wan" to break his chains to, become the noblest work of G 4 , The Ilalifax Packet is her way to England carrie d away her mast, and had two men washed overheat —.....-- It is reported this morning that the Bank is g a ing to call in the £5. notes.
