AXTRAORDINARY FLICID. - . " A mom enemata arid daring fraud has hew committed on some of the most respectable ember deal, of this town by two Frenchmen. calling them.. selves Coast St. Julien and Chevalier Villeneuve. By seine means or other they contrived to impose on an eminent banker of Birotineltant; who gave them letters to • merchant 01 fin. ingn. They were received by hire to • very hospitable manner, and he invited • party to inert them at his tattle. This, of roues., gave them contort , in society— they were invited to the house of nnoriter gentleman, nod soon formed • pretty extensive rcquaintstsce. Th ey ee p eern i el l themselves au a Colonel and Wine in the minty, fleeing from France as actors in Berton's conspirscy. A subscription was ..ads for them, and they soon after embarked fur Marlinham. On their arms, there they et:named to swin d le some of the reerelmats, awl immediately returned to Liverpool. Their villainy was not ihrienvered, and they were akain recei•ed into smii•ty—they h a d . oht e i im i per mission to return to France. and • gentleman of this town agreed to accompany them. Previously to their departure they visited all the !public build inr,s, the Schools mid charities, •stril appeared In take • great interest in every thing con nected with education. On their arrieal in Lon- . don poesports were oblidurd : our Liverpool friend hod occasion to get his 'welt repaired before he set oil, and Comet St. Julien urcom• ponied him tn the shop. He was told it would sake some time, and, as he could not wait, she watchmaker lent him another. It is almost tiecillers.ut s eq, that before they left London the Count contrived' Wirt the watch out of the shop, on some pretence or oilier. On their arrival in France, the Count iuriendol that Ms pocket had been picked, and our town•inan ge nerously offered them what motley they ri wiired; on reaching the capital they were to take their gore to the chateau of the Count'. mother ; lint it hap pened. most unexpectedly, that the good lady us. from home, atwhich circumstance the greatest disap pointment was expressed. However they agreed to dine at a Hestsurtiteur's in the evening ; and as VilleneuVe 'had to go into the country, lie I ..haroweil our towusmso's borrowed watch, in order that he might be exact. The time for dinner had arrived, but the„-oebfly dogs clime not. Our townsinisn be. gen ti think that • warning he received from • sharp-sighted friend before he left Liverpool, was not without foundation. fie returned to the hold, foond • letter addressed by Villeneuve to the Count ; he opened it, end read, " We have been diseovered,Sneet me of such nn hoer, at • house in such a street at 'l'ersetilles, to-morrow." Our friend immediately determined to go there himself; he did an, but found no such street or house—he returned, went into his bed-room, and found that in Iris absence his portmstitena had been opened by the key which was appended to the 'rot watch, and every thing had been earl led off. We understand these clever fellows left no trace what ever by which they ore likely to be drtertrd, and many of oar friends are one laughing at the other for having been so thoroughly duped.—(Lieerpoul Advertiser.) . .

JVEJV SOUTH WiILES: EIYIACT FROM THR REPORT OF THR commis- MIMI OF INQUIRY INTO THE ITATIi OF Tug COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. (Continued from oar Paper of yesterday) The indents transmitted in the earlier periods of transportation to New South %Vales, stated ir; numbers, and not in word. at length, the pe riods for which the convicts were sentenced ; awl in several columns of these indentures I observed, that, to save trouble in repestmg the figures 7 or 14, the letters Dl' had been used. I also observed that in the indents of the same period the sentences and dams bad been altogether omitted, and these mills. sions have been noticed, an they occurred, in the relents from Mr. Campbell's of f ice. In the inden. tures that arrived by the ship Providence, on the 4th of July, 1811, from Irelitud, the names of two. 'pen. James Norden and Michael °lmmo., had been omitted : the sentence of one wa. unknown to him, and he was Considered to have been trans. ported for life; the other made an adaiiision to that effect. The name of John Streetham was without porteculers of his age, place, time of trial, or sentenoe;•and the name of Eleanor Doyle *as in the seine situation : the indents were dated at Dub lin, mid signed " Richmond." and "Cheeks Sazton." In referring to one of the old indents of the ye ar 1809, I found that two alterations hid been made in sentences for seven years, and they had been converted into sentences file life. I did not observe more than these instances of palpable alteration, bat there were I names iti which erasures had been mode ; it is therefore very desir able that the sentence of every convict should be stated at full length in letters, and not in figures, and that the same practice should be observed in this 'respect' Mt has preysiled of late years in the transmission of the indents from the office of the Cleik of Arraigns for The county of Middlesex. All 'the original indents of convicts transported to New. Smith Wale., excepting those that arrived by the Indefatigahle, have been kept in the custody of Mr. J. T. Campbell, since the arrival of Gover nor Mstquarrie. They were deposited in is wooden box, in a room of his official residence, of which he always kept the key ; but, considering the import ance of these documents, 1 do riot think that the place in which they were kept was sufficiently secure. Mr. Campbell's official residence did not afford any inch security, and he felt a delicacy io making applications to Governor Macquarrie for any addi tions or improvement that might appear tea cast a reflection upon the defects of a plan that the Go vernor had approved. A book has been compiled by Mr. Campbell, and is kept in his own office, containing a list of all persons who apply for certi ficates, tickets of leave, and other indulgence"; this book is not permitted to be seen by the clerks, and is made out upon the applications of the convicts, and by reference to the o►iginal indents ; and has been considered by Mr. Campbell to be so authen tic as to supersede any subsequent reference to them; separate 'registers are also kept of certifi cate', tickets of leave, and of remissions of sentence, with the usual particulars of time of trial arid sen tence. Certificate, of expiration of sentence are issued on the first Monday in every month ; an ar rangemeot which, although convenient for theutSce of the Secretary, ha■ in several instances exposed convicts to Undue detention in their master's service. and Magistrates, to the cousequeuces of inflicting illegal punishment. On referring to the returns it appears. that out of the total number of free pardons grunted by Governor Macquarrie since the publication of his last regulation, on the 9th January, 1813, until the 31st December, 1820, there have been granted 124 free pardons to convicts transported for life. in which 'there have been 26 exceptions to the regu lation; tt4 hare been granted to convicts for 14 years, in which there have been 11 exceptions; and 35 to convicts for seven yew", in which there hare been three exceptions. It farther appears that, in the same period of time, Governor Macquarrie has greeted 892 con ditional pardons to convicts for life. and that in these there have occurred 220 exceptions to his re gulations. In those granted to convicts for 14 years 55 cases of exception ; and in those granted to con victs for seven years, there have been only five eases of exc. ption. Of the total number of tickets of leave that have been granted to the several descrip tions of convicts by Governor Macquarrie since the month of January, 1813. and amounting to 1,655, there have occurred 450 ex/vitriol.s to the regula tions. Previous to the period at which they were published. and more especially in the year 1810, which was that of Governor Macquarrie'• arrival, six pervious transported for life @pima to have re ceived absolute pardons from the Governor, at the expiration of two years from the date of their arrival in the colony ; one person of the some cloys in one year. one in ion► years, and one in six year.. These eaves were etreeKly recommended by Lieuteuant- Goeernor Patterson and liestena or i.Governor Foveaux to she consideration of Governor Mac gnome ; and to consequence of the promises that had been mode to the Individuals, the pardons that had been promised to them were confirmed.

Every day there are article. appearing is the pror;orisl papers, copied alexia into the London journals, calculated to create alarm about Captain Parry's expedition. We ventage to *firm, es the contrary, that seething has occurred since the expedition sailed to canoe fear for its safety, ete to mike us cowhide it has been unsuccessful. The discovery ships are ant at sll in the track of the whalers. They were 'wee is July last year at the entrance of Hudson's Bay, which I. far to the sbuthwaid of the lishiug ground; and it is pruhaile that Captain Party had chosen that route, to get to Cumber bumf Strait, o► to some other " lead" to the westward. He was not to go north to Lancaster Strait . agaio. The dihrry at Davies Straits has failed so completely this year, became for the two years preceding. the vessels having penetrated to. the inlets on the west of Raffia's Bay, and ►aving met great seeress there, abandoned the old fishing round this year. and lost their time hi attempting to get again to the west ; bat.* barrier of lee, compact sad impenetrable. exited. ed from one cad of the Bey to the other, and not a 'hip was able to proceed more than 20 or SO miles from the load en the east side. Yaowisg this, it was impoisaie to keep our gravity, when we read of a. shipmaster WWI made itaxioss but is cesaful inquiries about Captain Parry. There is no oar sariguise of his success, bat no oar and be alarmed for hi, safety. This barrier was not owlet to ea uncommonly frosty sesupoo, but to wiads prevailiat from the S.W., that is, right into the Straka, t►us remitting the ice from passing into the maim ocean : but these winds would serve to break up the lee in the inlets on the American side, sad drive it into Ballfia's Bay—the very thing to encourage the expedition to proceed. The west side oi the hay, there is every reason to suppose, would be clear sea. The ship. are provisioned for three years, with every attention to com fort which the experience gained by the former expedition pointed oat as proper; and supposing theta to have made some progress last year, and some this, if there is soy chase► of getting farther, they will winter there aria; sad cern. f the attempt has been aboodooed, we may conclude (mm what happened on the former measles that the ice iaiand would not break up till August, and after this there is tedious navigation before they could reach the sea. It sou the mouth of November when the Merle passed Aberdeen, from the last expedition. If they remain there thin "rioter. oar lent accounts from them will probably be from some of the Haddon's Bay or North West Company's estahlashments is the interior..—(Ahereleen Chronick.)
