7r - FROM TILE FRENCH. FRONTIERS, AVG. 23.—The accumplices in the conspiracy which has been dis. covered at Paris, hold their secret meeting in the Fnuxbourg of St. Marceau. The explosion was to have taken place on the 6th of this month ; a part of the diabolical plan was to seize the persons of the august Sovereigns and Commanders in Chief. The following was received from our Correspon dent at Falmeuth this morning : FA !NO lUTIIf, AUG, 2G.—Arrived the Sfiukc, from Surinam, its 31 days; Osborne, from Jamaica, in 4 day ; and (been Charlotte, from the Brazils, io dajs, all with Mails.

The inhabitants are well armed, and enthusiastic in the rod calve. They are happy under the judicious ad :stration of their worthy Governor, and the pro tection of the B.i.kh force which they have called in.

Yesterday., at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Oirice, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earls of If.voitoway, vEttpoot., BAIIIURST, and BUCK!

Lord Srew.t.u.r had a !wig costsultation with the Earl of Lavenroot. at life House afterwards. Ilis Lordship, we under stand, leaves London to-day, on his letutn to Paris. We understand that it was the intention of Go vernment not to have sent any fresh corps to France, but to have completed and kept up the regiments al se.sily there, to the full strength of their respective dsli.hments ; it is now said, a farther demand for trislis may he immediately expected. Eckert of a letter from Paris :—" A French Colonel of Infantry was ordered to command the detachment which was to execute the sentence on I.sernovexr. lie refused, and said he would sooner ae shot himself. For this act of disobedience he was immediately dismissed the service, and a non commissioned °Meer commanded the party which shot the delinquent. Several persons in plain clothes, when I.raroo'vene. had expired, rushed into the cir cle and dipped their handkerchiefs into the blood." The system of fro(' quarters, upon which the Al lied troops are said to be now acting in France, very closely resembles that w hich historians describe to hare taken place in Ireland in the early part of the year 1793, that ic, previous to the insurrection, which many histo r ians allege to have been provoked by the ' 4 free quarter,." Some letters have been received by a private ship from Cadiz after the passage of I I days. The dates are to the 1 lth inst. it seems that the Spaniards have been ro mach encouraged by the success of the armament sent to the Culph of Nlexico, that no less than three other expeditions, hut on a less extensive 'scale, are in preparation.

THE STATESMAN. LYCEUM THEATRE. Mr. FAWCETT'i benefit took place list night— and it gave us much pleasure to observe, that a very crowded and elegant audience teqilied, by their precence tin this occasion, the high esteem in which the abilities of this excellent actor are gene rally hod. The entertainments consisted of the Opera of The King's Proxy, in which Mr. IteAw cert. sutqatoed the character of the Earl of Dcron— and a now musical Afterpiece (the it!ea harrowed from a very poptilar French Melo-drame), intitled The and Vie ; or, Which is thc Thief ?-IVe had heard mei of the meriti of the new dram' ; but they greatly exceed even the most favourab'e reports. The pirmary cause of the nits . fortunes which assail innrlle, ths; heroirte of the piece, is a mischievous Magpie-1011P of that class of birds whom Ornithologists describe strongly in ' dined to thiiting. This bird is a great favourite in the house of Me. and Mrs. Gerrard, where ;Innate is employed as a sersant—and, at dif ferent times, steals a silver fork and spoon. Gran the father of Anat., shorn distress ha.l obliged to enter the army, having threatened, in a moment of irritation, the life of his Command ing Officer. is forced to fly, and on the very day when the Magpie has made his last booty, pays his daughter a visit in disguise. To her he ietrusts a silver fork nod spoon, the last remnant of his for tune, directiug her to sell them privately, and to place the produce in a hollow tree at the entrance of the tillage, from whetters, at nightfall, he would remove it. This interview over, Annette. immedi ate'y disposes of the articles to nu itinerant and is noxious to deposit the money in the spot prescribed—when her itti-ireA discovers that a silver spoon is missing front the properly entrusted to her cure. An examination ensues, ill which every cir cuttistatice disclosed is disadvantageous to her. • .1r;;; states that she sold to him a silver fork and spoon, marked eith the cipher 6 which is merely the cip'%er of her father, but is supposed to he that of Grnyeed, .•Innette, whom the fear of sacriti:ing the life of a p.reet, has induced to pro. serve ua inviolable Set rosy, refuses to account for her possession of articles apparently agreeing with those which were lost. 11 , r trial is precipitated by the vile arts of the Justice of the village, an amor. ous old villain, whose insolent approaches she has treated with contempt. and she is found guilty. And now the guaids are conveying her to the place of execution, when the Ma;ine, ever on the alert for , plunder, is observed to snatch up a small gold cross, w hi c h &ntie had given In her lover, Bla.to, and which he, absorbed in grief, had careles•ly left ex posed to Miig's depredatory vi-it. The feathered thief carries his sdoil to the belfry of a neighbouring church. 'Thither he is pursued by B!ava, who, in searching after the stole', crucifix, discovers the fork and spoon which had disappeared so mysteriously. The few now comes f •rward with the articles which he had bought from Annette, but which he could not produce originally, as he had sold them, almost im mediately after he bad made the peicliase. The in nocence of Janette is thus completely established, and the vile motives of the Jsstice are matte equally apparent. Having failed to revenge himself by the destruction of ilanclic, he orders her father into custody, as a deserter ; but his malice is baffled by the production of a free pardon, which the officers of his regiment, by whom Granville is much beloved, have obtained--and of which his faithful comrade, Francois, is the joyful messenger. There is much good acting in this little piece, but Miss KELLY, as Annette, displayed powers of the most inestimable description. She soared infinitely above all her coadjutors in the scene. The interview with the Justice, in which, by a singular effort of presence of mite!, she saves the life of her father, deserves no less an epithet than that of admirable.— It was fraught with the strongest and the purest feel ing. The scene in which 'fondle is accused with t p theft, was exqnisitely natural. Miss KELLY described, with painful fidelity . , the wretcheduess of a being, Conscious of innocence, and yet prevented, by an imperious duty, from rendering that inno cence manifest. Mr. KNIGHT played Blazo with great ability. Whenever unsephisticated feeling is to be expressed, the simple earnestness and blunt honesty of his manner, are sure to produce the hap. piest effect. A!,'. Gerrard is a character quite in Mr. I: wcr.vv's Hue. Gerrard is a plain, unsuspi. cious, honest 112 is rough, without rudeness - -and feeling, without affectation. Mr. FAWCETT did ample justioe to the character. Messrs. Niatt sit (i.tva end O.V.SERRY, as Granville, the .f.7stice, and the Jcy , 1 , quitted themselves extremely well. The music, composed and selected by Mr. 11. Sl' r, is very pretty—the hymn, in the second act, is peculiarly so. The piece was received with the most enthusistic applause, and, beyond a doubt, will have a very extraordinary run. The following is the account of a well-fought ac tion between the English brig Pilot, of 18 guns, commanded by t apt. NICHOLAS, and a large Fiend, frigate :—" On the 17th of Julie, the Pilot, being on a cruise in the Mediterranean, fell in with a fri gate under the tricoloured flag, and after a chase which lasted from day-lighttill half-past two o'clock, she succeeded in gaining a position on the enemy's weather -how, within pistol-shot, when she com menced a warm fire. which was immediately returned. The action lasted till half-past four, when the frigate, taking advantage of the PiLes rigging being much cat up, crowded all sail, and tied ! As soon as the datniges could he repaired, the brig pursued her op. ponent, and every exertion was made by her to re. new the contest; but at day-light the following morn. ing her gallant crew had the mortification to fi n d that the enemy had eluded them during the night. The frigate mounted 20 IG•pouuder commodes, and two long 19.-pounders on the main deck, and fonr long guns on her quarter-deck, besides smaller ones (swivels) on the bulwark and in her tops ; and it has been learnt that she had a complement of 125 men, of is horn, it is probable, a considerable number were killed or wounded, the brig's fire being con stantly directed against her hull. The enemy firing high, the Piles loss was only one an killed, and 15 wounded." • NAVAL COUR7=3IARTIAL. The Court-Marti d held at Portsmouth, on board the Gladiator, on Capt. Prink (the next senior Offi cer, after the death of Capt. DOwnie) and the Offi cers under his commsnd, for the IOsS of the British squadron on Lake Champlain, closed its proceedings on Monday last. The hillowing is the decisitin of the Court : " The Court haring maturely weighed the evidence, is of opinion that the capture of his Majesty's ship Confiance, rind the remainder of the squadron by the American squadrott, was principally caused by the British scpiadron having been urged into battle pre vious to its brio;{ in a proper state to meet the enemy, by the promised co-operation of the land forces not being carried into effect, and by the pressiog letters of their Commander in Coke . , whereby it,. appears that he had, on the 10th of Sinember, 1814, only waited for the naval attack to storm the enemy's works ; and the signal of the approach on the frit lowiog day havilig been made by the scaling o( the guns, as settled betwee n Capt. Downie and Major Coore, and which promised 'co-operation, was com• municited to the other Officers and crews of the squadron before the commencement of the " The Court, however, is of opinion that the at tack wropid have been attended with more effect, if a part of the goo-boats had not withdrawn themselves from the atli(.ll, and others of the vessels had not been previmie.l by baffling winds from getting into the stations assigned to them—that Carain Pring, of tho /.intiet, and Lieut.

After the usual service on such occasions, at which several ef the neighbouring Clergy and Ladies attended, and an I able appropriate discourse preached by the Rev. Dr. BATTEN, the Principal of the College, a good part of the students received confirmation from the Bishop.

At ti Meeting of tile Roman Catholic Prilstes of Ireland, held in Dublin; on t:.! 23d and 24th of August, 1815, the following Resolutions were una nimously agreed to, the Most Rev. Dr. KELLY, Pre sident: Resolved, That it is our decided and conscientiouu conviction, that any power grantcd (*.the Crown of Great Britain, of interfering, directly or indirectly, in the appointment Of Bishops fee the RoMan Catho. lic Church in Ireland, must esseritiallY injure, and may eventually subvert; the Roman Catholic Reli gion in this country. • . • Resolved, That with th is concoction deeply and unalterably impressed on our mind,, we should con shieC ourselves as betraying the dearest interest of that portion of the Church which the Holy Ghost has'confided to our care, did we not declare most unequivocally, that we will at all tittles, and under till circumstances, deprecate and oppose, in every canonical and constitutional way, any such inter. Terence. . . . Resolved, That though we sincerely venerite tho Supreme Pontiff as visitfle Head of the Church, we do not conceive that our apprehensions for the safety of the Itoman Catholic Church in Ireland can or ought to be removed by any determination of hill H o . limns, adopted, or intentie..l to be adopted, not only without our occurrence, but in direct opposition to out repeated Resoluti and the very energetic Me.

LOVE AND MADNESS. , • An Inquest was held at Portsmouth, on FridaY, by AstEs GittoO, Efq. Coroner, on the body of Frances Colvill, who died in cousequence at taking a gentility of arsenic. The deceased; who was about twenty-four years of age, was a straw-hat manufac• turer and mantas-maker in that town. ft appeared she had received the addresses of a young man tot' some time; but he at length perCeiving in irritability of temper in her, which' wet uncongeniil with his own, and with his views of future happinesS, about three months since he altan4oned all his intentions concerning her, forrried a .similar connection with no!:.er Olng woman, and a fro days sitter was married. This I)st act, it *Could appeer„unaeuted the mind of the deceased, end she conceived a dread ful act of revenge. On Thyrsdty morning last, she pu c•lased a penknife, and in doing so, requested to have one as long in the blade as possible. She then went to a neighbour's house, and tent a message to the young man to come thither, us a Gentleman wished to speak to him. Wlrw he came, he sail, " sin going to London—aid you not drink with me ?" He just tasted of the cup, and returned it.—She said, " f wish it had been pri=on—l understand (she continued)'you are married; are you not sorry for it?" He replied, " No." Instantly she shuffled the penknife from under her gown-sleeve, and made a blow at him, inflicting a sleep wound on the shoulder. The knife Warbroken three parts off by the violence of the thrust ; but with the remaining part she continued to strike at his head, until, by his efforts, she was disarmed. She then left the house, proceeded to a druggist's shop, and bought a quantity of arsenic (under pretence that it was to poison rats), and went to her home, at Green's field, Greeo-lane. There she put the arsenic into a cup, filled it up from the pump, and drank the prin cipal part of the contents. In a few minutes after wards she informed her parents Mid neighbours of what she had (lane. Medical assistance was sent tor; but she had taken so large a quantity of the poison, that it was found impossible to make her void the whole of it from her stomach.—At half-past five in the evening she died.
