ER has been killed in a duel 1 an Aid.de-Camp of the First Consul has been killed on the parade ; the First Consul has been dangerously wounded ;—in fine, they dream of nothing but assassinations and divi sions among the principal Citizens of the Republic. Two Chasse-marees have imported into Morbi_ ban, letters of the ci-devant Bishop of St. PAUL DE LEON and the ci-devant Bishop of NoroN, against the Concordat, the Republic, and the Pope. The ci_devant Archbishop of MONTPELLIER has printed a long letter to the Pope, to prove that rather than follow his apostolic example, it was proper for him to prefer the convenient retreat he found in England, and to profit by the considerable fortune which be enjoys from his nephew, whom he had the dexterity to persuade five and twenty years ago, to renounce the Catholic Religion in order that he might be capable of enjoying possessions and dig nities in Ireland. Other Vessels have inundated Brittany with a vast number of hand bills in the Jacobin style, in which the most moderate epithet bestowed on the First Consul, is that of Poisoner. These hand_ bills have been addressed to several individuals, having on them the postmarks of St. Malo, Dinan, and St. Serval). At a dinner to which Citizen OTTo had been in vited, and at which the heir of the English Monar chy was present, the son of Egalite was among the guests, and bore on that occasion the insignia of the Bourbons.

Let the speech of Citizen GALLOIS be compared with those of Messrs. WI NDH AM and GRENVI L L ; let the prudent and well regulated tone of the French writers, be compared with the furious, disgusting, and ill-designed tone of a great number of the En glish papers, and it will be observed that the one express the sentiments of a people who love, and who wish for Peace, who endeavour to second the intentions of their Government, and that the other second a party hostile to the peace of the world, to the most simple alliances. THE MINISTER OF POLICE TO THE PREFECTS. Paris, May 39. Reports of every sort are circulating. Although accus tomed to thoSe productions of malevolence and folly,. still people permit themselves to be deceived by them. I consi der it, therefore, my duty, Citizen Prefed, to put you on your guard againn those rumours, by which it is endeavoured to . a gitar the Departments : Paris is tranquil, and cannot be agitated. No plot has threatened, or now threatens the life of the First Consul ; he is in no danger, except from his excessive labours and attention to the interest of the Republic Soot libellers may, for a moment, circulate their gross falsehoods, in the shade in whicli they suppose themselves con,ealecl ; but public indignation and contempt will pitnisk them, erica before the Police shall talc cognizance ofthern. (Signed) FOUCIIE. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM FARIS, JUNE 2. "Some changes are likely to take place immediate_ ly in the Department of the Minister of the Inte rior. Citizen CEIAPTAL will retire, and his talents will be consecrated to the duties of a Senator only. Many are soliciting the appointment to the Mi nistry, which has attached to it the most extensive patronage. The Arts and Artists are under its immzdiate protation. " A person possessing some considerable property in St. Ikmingo, has lately presented to the A/he/J( l e d e; Arts, a quantity of Cochineal Syl'vestre, which is the produce of his own estate, and which affords as fine a dye as the Mexican insea. Many experi ments have proved it to be of equal excellence in every respell, and the Atlienie des Arts have re solved (at the request of the donor) to prepare two yards of scarlet cloth with this Cochineal, and to present them to the First Consul, as a proof that the island of St.,Damingo may, independent of its Su_ gars and Coffee, become a source of considerable advantage to the Mother Country. The Revenues received no less than i 8 millions of livres duty upon Cochineal before the War. " The new Theatre at Malmaison is to be opened to.morrow night, with the Italian Opera, La Serva Padronaa—The FIRST CONSUL, has ordered almost all the Company from the Italian Theatre to per form, and the elegance of the whole arrangement for the evening is much spoken of. "Lord WHITWORTH'S arrival is very anxiously looked for by the English, who still experience much inconvenience and delay, respeeting their Passports to leave Paris: they are seldom procurable without many days, and sometimes even weeks solicitation and attendance, at the Prefecture de la Police. " The public mind is almost asleep as to the Elec tion of the Ft RST CONSU is a thing which will be effe6ted of course, though a very considerable number of Citizens have declined giving any vote whatever.--No one has manifested a Negative in writing. " The Family remain at Malmaison. " The number of English arrivals increase, but the visits of our Countrymen, are like those of per turbed spirits, they glide into this great Capi ta l,— flit about fora moment, and glide out at the opposite gate.—Switzeriand seems to be the chief objed of many travellers.

MAY, of Waterford; Mr. joNEs by Mr. T. n To AR A. _ . The cause, we are informed, was as follows :—Sir RICHARD, it apears, had bee - i prevailedtevailed 'upon by. friends of Mr. JONES'S, to make an Apology to his antagonist, fox some severe observations on his po:. litical charaler, which are in the History of the late Rebellion in this Country, written by the above-mentioned Baronet. The Apology, we are told, was to have been made public, by publish ing it in the Newspapers, bat not until a certain time, which had not expired when the meeting took place.—How a reverse condua relative to that point occurred, we will not take upon us to say—but certain it is, that what was said to be Sir Richard's Apology, was posted up in a public room in Eustace-street, some days ago. The particular cause, however, of the message from Sir RICHARD to Mr. JONES, was in conse quence of an alteration that was made in the Apo logy, which obliged the Baronet to retraa the whole. We have heard it mentioned that Sir Rrcx- AM) also required an apology from Mr. JoNEs, for a scurrilous letter that he had written against the Baronet, which Mr. J. refused. CORN EXCHANGE, June.

On Friday last, a girl about ten years old, in most wretched attire, applied to some persons at South End, near Lewisham, Kent, for relief, stating, that she was almost perishing from want, having that morning walked several miles, to escape from a gang of gypsies, who had taken her away from her friends at elymouth. On being fut.ther interrogated, she said that she was the daughter of a Capt. Kellen, of the Marines, at Plymouth ; that about seven months ago, being sent a small distance out of the town, she was met by a gang of gypsies, consisting of five men and .six women & who seized her and carried her to their camp, in another part of the country, at a considerable distance, having first stripped her of her own clothes, and in exchange, dressed her in sonic of their rags ; that she had travelled about the country with them ever since, and her life was threatened if she endeavottred to escape ; that during the time she was with them,. they en trapped a little boy about her own age, whom they also stripped and carried with them, but took par ticular cate he should never converse with her ; said that they generally travelled by cross roads and private ways, ever keeping a watchful eye that she might not escape ; no opportunity o f w hi c h offered till Friday morning last ; when, by some accident, they were obliged to send her from their camp to a neighbouring farm-house; in order to procure a light, which she took advantage of ; and scrambling over hedges and ditches, as she supposes for the distance of eight miles, reached South End, worn out with fatigue and hunger, her support with them being always scanty, and of the worst sort, which, added to the misery of sleeping under hedges, and exposed to the inclemency of the weather, has given her such a very emaciated ap pearance. Of the depredations of this banditti, in milking cows in the night, stealing poultry, &c. she gave a very probable account ; and said it was their inten tion to have coloured her and the. boy, when the walnut season approached, to make them appear as real gypsies. Her manner and behaviour altoge 'ther, and her being able to read extremely well, gives reason to believe her tale is true ; but tO as certain ir e a Gentle►nan has - written to Plymouth. On Friday evening, in the Opera of Armida Mad. BANTI narrowly escaped a fatal accident. In mounting in the car, the parallel gave way, and she was thrown out. She fortunately caught hold of a rope, and saved herself from falling, by hanging sus pended till the Carpenters came to her assistance.

SITTIZ/GS ni:TORk LORD LLEN8Q11.01.1 . 4;14. IN R'ESTMI;r- s It - V. MORRIS'. . . Tit E Plaintiff and Defendant are Potters, and nUfacturers of Sugar Moulds) a business followed by but few person's in the kingdom; and this action wa brought to recover damages susLiined by the Plain tiff, by reason of the Defendant's having enticed a person of the name of Deal, a Labourer, out of the service of the Plaintiff, after he had commenced, and before he had finished a piece of work for him, and harbouring that person, by employing him in his. the Defendant's 'service, after notice that he I;ad quieted the Plaintiff's service ) and left his work un finished. the laW of this case is clearly laid down in 6 Term Rep. 2'4, by .which it is stated, " that an ataion will lie for 'receiving or continuing in ernp;oy.: merit, the Servant of another, ,dter notice that he is that Servant-- - -That a p,er who contrafts with another to do any piece of work for him, is the set. %int of that other, until iha: work is finished, and therefore no one else has a ri,;ht to employ him un-. til such Work is finished." The circumstances of this case were these : Deal the labourer had Worked for the Plain!iff several years. In July last he had a piece of work on hand, and left his Master, when there were about eight days labotir remaining to finish it. He went to the Defendant who hired him. The Pliiintiff sent to the Defendant a letter, saying " I beg leave to acquaint you, that William Deal whom you have in your employment as a potter, is engaged at my Manufadory to work, which work he has left un finished, and I trust, after this notice, that you, as a tradesman, will not detain or harbour him ; if you do, I shall be under the necessity of com mencing an a6tion against you.—lsaac Parry." The Defendant told the bearer of the letter, that he, the Defendant, had had nothing to do in the law a great while ; that' he should like to have a touch at it—that if aal owed Mr. Parry any money, he would pay it."—The Messenger said, " it was not the money that the Plaintiff wanted, but the labour of the man who had left his service." The Defendant replied, " You may tell Mr. Parry that I have as many Bricks to give to the Lawyers as he has Moulds." He kept Deal in his employ. ment ; the work of Deal at the Plainnf's fadtory was left unfinished. Lord ELLENBOROUGII observed there was no evidence of the Defendant's enticing the workman from his master, but there was enough of the har bouring after 0011 Cd, and that was sutlicient to sup port this Action. Verdiitt for the Plaintiff' damages 51. ss. being the value of the labour required to finish the work. HUNTER AND ANOTlitit *V. rERRIN AND CADELL, E!'QRS. This was an Aaion brought nominally against the late Sheriffs, but in substance against one of their Officers, who give them security for their condua, for the escape. of a person of the name of Henry I hint, who was arrested by one of the OfH cers of the Sheriff of Middlesex, fOr 1401. at the snit of the above Plaintiffs for business doe by them as Coach-painters. He was arrested at his father's house, and went up stairs, and the Officer with him, for his great coat, and as lie come down he slipt by the parlour.dior (where the P:ainiltr, llunter, was sitting, he having come there to chew Hunt to the Office') and went out of .the house and was seen no more. The Sheriff being called upon to return the Writ, returned " That by command of the Writ, I did arrest and take the body of the within-named Henry Hunt, within my Bailiwick, whose body I safely kept, until with foree and arms he rescued himself out of my custody, and that afterwards and up to the timeeof the return of the said Writ, the said Henry Hunt was not found in my Bailiwick."' Mr. GIBBS contended that this return of the Sheriff to the 'V in question, instead of furnish ing the Plaintiff with an Aaiun against the Sherif, was an answer to such Aaion, for it stated a, rescue, which was an excuse for the Sheriffdpon an escape after caption upon mesllf process : it was otherwise w h ere t h e Defendant was taken in • Extcra;on, be cause in the latter case the Sheriff car; raise the Posse Comitatus; but he has no such Tow:er -in case of arrest upon meme process, and here there was no count in the declaration that the - return of the She riff was false. For these reasons, which he argued ably, Mr. Gi a as submitted that the Plaintiff's should be non-suited. Lord ELLENBOROUGH having looked at the Record, was of opinion that the return was in sub_ stance falsified, and therefore refused to nonsuit the Plaintiffs, and the puse was proceeded in. It was then shewn that the Plaintiffs' Bill. upon iiuut was reasonable, &c. but that the Defendant, Hunt, wal insolvent, and had gone to Ireland to avoid his creditors' pursuit, ezc. Lord ELLCNBOROUGH laid down to the Jury, the: this adiun was maintainable as it Et 01,d, but that the r;aintiffs ought n o t, by t hi s verdia, to be placed in a better condition than they would have been in had they possessed the body of Bunt..—li e thought, that at all events, the Plaintiffs in this case ought to be reimbursed the Gusts they had been at in causing the arrest, Sec.—Now, the adion by • original, he understood from a very intelligent Of ficer who SAC under hini (Mr. Low TON, Clerk Nisi Prius) that the expences wete, in su e ! ) a about twelve guineas ; to this the Jury would what they thought was fair to conjecture as the sum which the Plaintiffs might have obtained from Hunt, had their arrest been f:fiCtuai.—The vertikt in this case against the Sheriff ,oeld not discharge Hunt.
