It was upon false data that we inserted in our Paper, a few days ago, an article, •in which it was said that families in mourning, particularly the fa mily of a jeweller in rue St. Denis, claimed of the public pity, relations, or friends, who had dis, appeared from society without leaving'any. traces of their being alive.

" A new Royal Edift proves that`` die Court .has not changed its. system with respeet' to tVose, wh,,s have been the Objeds.aits perkeutionsi . ft revives in all its vigour a pretended ancientlliacir,- entitled de- rahmento, by virtue of which every Neapolitan Subjeel absent from the Kingdom- without: the -per misSion of the King, is obligedlo pay - an extraor. Binary Duty. This. Duty fins been fixed for - the `Genoese, and other Foreigners, who possess pro_ perty in the two Sicilies, at one-fourth of tyre Re venue; arising from Personal Property, and one_ sixth. of that arising from Feudal Estates.. In the presect instance it is carried much further, HIS 'MAJESTY having by the above Edia extended the Duty de. Palimz-nto to the whole R evenue a r i s i ng fromevery description of Property, as follows := " In consequence, it, is ordered (under date'of the. sth November), that all Neapolitan Subjeas who shall be found absent from the Kingdom ; and shall. not returrr within forty days, shall be proceeded tigainst, in -order that all their 'Property may be sequestered, the Revenues of which shall be re.' reeittreit for the benefit of the Royal. Treasury, be. kittning from the Day of their , absence'.? . It is to -be remarked, that - .the, , terni of forty. day's, dating from the publication-- of 1114 Ediet, uiiif suffice for those Neapolitans to 'return who are at.. Rome, but not for those who are in France - or. `Germany. It is not the less remarkable, that a retro-alive tired is given to this Edid, since many Neapolitans, and amongst others, the Princes d'An.: gri, De St,• Angelos-impe.riale, De Shorgoli, De Torellan, the Dukes De Riario and De Monteleone, and- the Dutchess De Capracolla, especially named in the Royal Edia,. pre - absent with permission.

German Plays, it is said, have been pacceri at the cu;rorn-hou.e -as' drugs. This is an appro.. priate designation, as, to a critical taste, they must certainly be - very nauseating. The Dramatic Muses, since they have been brought into a C'ourt of ;mike, have received such excellent advice from the LORD, CHAf:C EL. LOR, that it is probable they will avail themselves of the salutary hints his Lordship threw out, and in future'be more observant of that great critical principle, Unity. The reign of Sans Culatt;sm seems to be com- Pletely over in France. 'A Stotch Officer lately appeared in the Thuilleries in the ilighiancl-ciress, " and although;" .says the French Paper, !' he had on, in compliment to French delicacy, 'a pair of flesh, coloured pantaloons under his phillibeg, yet the curiosity of the people induced them to crowd round him so much, that he was, forced to retire," So that it appears that the priviledge of going naked in France belongs `exclusively to the female sex. SrRE NGTH OF INIAG / NATIO N.—One of the late French Papers gives a very strong instanee of the power, of Imagination. A pers o n w h o was. ex tremelY fond of dogs, was recently playing with a small'one, .and was slightly bit by. him in the nose. He thought nothing of it for some time, but hap. pening to be in company with- some persons who were speaking of the dreadful orals of the bite of mad dogs, he was struck with terror; and imme diately caused, his little favourite to he.killed. But the idea had so completely got Ossession of his senses, that he died in a state of delirium. A ehild of his; who.was bitten by th e same 'dog, is perfedly we'll,: became he apprehended no danger. Thursday a Court of DireEters was held at" the East. India House, when the following Officers- were sworn into the command of their respe&ive Ships, viz. Wm.

The superiority of Teak timber was evinced in this instance, her w6od-work being as fresh as when Brst built, tho Ugh more than twee. ty years old. . evenings. A few since .Cart. KELSEY was stopped near Reading-by two footpads,• who robbed him of seven guineas in money, his pocket-book and letters. He ...would have beat off 'the first man, had he not called to . his,tompanion for assiitan•ce, whO beat Mr. 'KELSEY a good. deal with a thick Stick, while the. other threatened with apistol ; very' fortunately his gold watch escaped •their plunder., In consequence of the riuinerous highway rob belies and burglaries lately_cemmitted in .and,about the Metropolis,, several notorious offenders have, within - these few „days„ been apprehended by ,the Bow street.
