Published by F. C. Westley, 165, Strand. The newspapers have revived the old rumour of AMBROCETTI'S being an inmate of La Trappe; we as certained at the time it ways first broached that it was not true. He had settled quietly in Italy.—Literary Gazette. Soon after the ltev. ALEXANDER FLETCHER had commenced his sermon yesterday evening, a lady, from the excessive heat of the chapel, having fainted, a gentle man, in order to restore her, incautiously lighted a piece of paper in the body of the chapel, but the blaze having caught his fingers, he dropped the paper. From this cir cumstance an alarm of fire was immediately raised, which created such disorder among the congregation, that a si multaneous rush to effect an escape took place at every quarter of the chapel. Ie vain did the Rev. Gentleman encourage them by his solicitations to remain undisturbed. The scene of confusion was indescribable. We are happy, however, to say, that no accident occurred. Two engines arrived in consequence of the alarm, and the Reverend Gentleman could no loniee continue his discourre. On Tuesday an inquest was held at Bury St. Edmund's, before the Sheriff of Suffolk, upon a writ of aphis utlegattn. This proceeding, which is seldom resorted to, was institnted by Messrs. TAYLOR and Co., solicitors, of Norwich, to attach the property of the Count and Countess DE FnEtoc., in consequence of their having been outlawed in an action for the recovery of 2001. for professional business. The Countess DE Faxxoo was a daughter of the Iste General NETIIERSET, and owtur of some estates in Suffolk. The defendants bad refused to pay the plaintiffs' bill, and left the kingdom ; the plaintiff, in consequence, proceeded to outlawry, by which the free hold estates of the defendants, and debts owing to them, become liable to seizure. dome of the defendants' estates were copyhold, which, by a still existing feudal privilege, are exempt from the process; but the rents due were liable. The Jury returned a verdict, seizing 1801. due for rent, and also a fiechold house and 315 acres of lanl, to answer the plaintiffs' debt. . PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 12.—The Anacreon, Jones, arrived this evening from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed on the 9th of October. His Majesty's ship Athol, 28, Captain A. Gordon, Lad arrived out, and remained there at anchor, with the Eden, when the Anacreon sailed. The coleny,was more healthy than it: had been • for some time and it is consolatory that not any casualties among Europeans have reached us by this conveyance beyond those which had come to our knowledge by previous ac counts. The Anacreon. left at Sierra Leone the Borodino, Navarino, Eloisa, Ocean, Isabella, and Norval. On the 14th of October, she 'spoke the brig Eliza, from Sierra Leone, out ten days, in lat. 9.30. long. 19. 30. On the 15th ult. s4T - saw a ship, about 200 t ons b urt h en , o ff the Western Islands, bottom upwards ; it was then blowingbanl, arid she could not ascertain particulars. Oa the 3d instant, she spoke the American brig Motion its, lat. 42. N. long. 16. W., from .to -- 1Y 'btu 0;:yg. . The - Arachne, I 8 guns, Captain Elliott, is hourly expected with a large freight of silver from the Spanish Main, which she embarked at Vera Cruz at the moment the Spanish expedition was landing at Tampico. The Java, 50 guns, with Admiral Gage's flag from the East India command, may also be daily expected. The Onyx, 10 guns, Lieutenant Boteler, was all well on the 7th ult. in 42. 20. N. 12. 30. W. with a fair wind for Madeira. The Halifax squadron was all well on the Ist of November. The Rose would winter at Halifax, with Sir Charles Ogle's flag on board. The Manly would remain at Newfoundland : anti the Tyne, Co lumbine, and Champion would proceed to Bermuda, there to remain until the spring. The Alligator, 28, Captain Charles Ynike, ar rived on Sunday, with volunteers for the Druid, from Leith. She returned to her station this morn ing. The volunteers were conveyed hence to Ply mouth, in the Echo steam-vessel, on Monday. The Rainbow, 28, at this port, is ordered for commission. She will be taken into Dock on Mon day. The Sirius frigate -(in ordinary) was yesterday brought into dock to be overhauled. She was docked on the 22,1 December, 1819, and undocked 27th August, 1821, after having undergone great repair. The Bull dog has been broken up this week. The Sparrow cutter arrived on Tuesday from a cruise. Sailed the Sylvia cutter. The Wanderer and Sylvia transports sailed on Wednesday to the Eastward. The Echo steam-vessel returned on Thursday from Plymouth. The Kains transport, from Cork, arrived this morning. Sailed the In dustry, naval transport, for Chatham. PROMOTlON.—Licutenant Booth to the rank of Commander, in consideration of his services and wounds. APPOINTMENTS.—Lieutenant Sampson Marshall (1812) is appointed to Haslar Hospital, vice Silver, promoted ; Lieutenants Alexander Webb and George Alexander Leary to the Hyperion.

The ship Champion, Bacon, arrived this week from Sierra Leone, with wood for the Dock-yard. She has had a long passage, during which she lost seven men, arising principally from the dirty state in which she took her wood on board, which, with the weeds on it, speedily generates a putrefaction in the ~hip's hold. Arrived, on Sunday, the Mary, Jemison, to take 168 male convicts from the hulks at this port for Van Diemen's Land, under the care of Dr. Robert Espic, Surgeon Superintendent. They were em barked on Tuesday, and the ship will sail in a few days. Monday, passed by the William Mills, Williams, from Calcutta, left 2,5 th March ; Rangoon, the 9th of May ; Penang, Mauritius, 29th of July; also the Lady Feversham, Ellerbv, from Bombay ; the Aus tralia, Sleigh, from London for New South Wales; the John Pirie, Cromartie, for Barbadoes ; and the Jane, Baigrie, for Buenos Ayres.

Arrived the Richard and Mary, Smith, from Quebec, in 31 (lays; the 'wren, Barrie, from Peters burgh for Jersey, with lofts of bulwarks; the Ba roness, Keith, from Mogatiore, for orders.—Hamp shire Telegraph. The hooping cough reigns in Arbroath with dreadful violonce, sparing neither age nor sex. The deaths and funerals arc emn mons in proportion to the size of the place. An old msn of 70 years of age within theFe few days fell a victim' t, it ; and it in no uncommon thing to see eight graves de for infants who have died of this disease in one day. The cough is uniformly followed by fever of a most virulent kind, and this is attributed by our medical practitioners to the state of the weather, and pe riod of the year.—Perth Advertiser. WILLIAM MILLS was brought before the Magistrates on Tuesday se'nnight by the Overseers of the poor of Sheffield, for refusing to pay the costs of a war rant which had been awarded against him, when brought up fur neglecting to maintain his wife. In describing her conduct, MILLS said—" Please your Worship she's a drunken Trollop, and it is hnpo3silde for :my man to lead his life with her. I, please your Worship, hare fought with the Duke of Wimmintrox for twelve years, and I hare stood before a column of one hundred and sixty thousand men, but I never met my enemy 61 I mrt with her (pointing to his wife). There, Sir, star.ds my enemy. I would sooner stand before a column of one hundred and sixty thousand men, than I would stand before her."— The Magistrates told him he must pay the expences which bad been incurred, or he would be sent to the House of Correction. This MILLS agreed to do within a fortnight. The Alliance coach, from Liverpool to Lon don, loaded with transports, arriv e d on Monday , last at the George Inn, linutsford, to change horses. The convicts, who had all aleng the road behaved in a meet mutinous manner, now openly defied and fought the keepers having them in charge—getting off the coach, and peremptorily refusing to resume their places. In this dilemma the guard procured the assistance of the governor and two turnkeys of the gaol. The prisoners were then marched into the prison, and the coach being drawn into the yard, they were then placed on it, and proceeded under the ad ditional charge of one of the turnkeys. The convicts subsequently got off, and entering the t ap -room o f a public house, seized the poker, and thr ea t ened to run it throug h one of the keepers if he resist e d any attempt of theirs. We have since been informed that a ll the convicts were drunk, and were in charge of tw o men who were not gaolers, but servants of a person who had contracted for the removal of the prisoners from Kirkdale.—Stockport Abfiertiser. • In the Press, and sheitlyli be published, in 3 vols.

ALDERTON AND ANOTHER V. LAMBERT. This war an action by Messrs. Alderton and Colden, house-agents, to recover 121. Ios. foe their commission in procuring for the defendant, Mrs. Lambert, a tenant for a furnished house belonging to her in Seymour -street. A person of the name. of Rhodes stated that the plaintiffs applied to him to get a tenant.fqr the defendant's house, and they agreed to divide the commission between them . L. tica-knogiQg .th.4tA.iidY—Aftoam.4tifhetrflhfn 'nfairi'VaTin want such a house, recommended it to her ; that he afterwards had an interview with the defendant,. and told her that he had been sent to her by the plaintiff's, who had employed him, and that she said she had employed the plaintiffs as her agents, and had nothing to do with him, Rhodes. The house was ultimately taken by Mrs. Barnaby at a rent of 4001. The defence was, that the plaintiff had never been employed by the defendant to let the house for her. To prove this Mrs. Barnaby and two other witnesses were called. The ease was left to the Jury upon the question as to the employment, and they found for the plain tiff—Damages 121. 10s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 12. THOMPSON V. FINDEN. This was an action for work and labour bestowed upon three vessels of which the defendant was part owner. It wa. defended on two grounds—first, that the plaintiff had already recovered his demand against• one of the other part-owners of the vess e l; which fact, however, the defendant failed ►o prove. The other ground was, that the credit had been giren to the masters of the vessels personally, and not to the owners generally. The Learned Judge., however, was of opinion that, on the evidence adduced, the defendant was clearly liable, and therefore 'Lie Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full sum claimed. BOARD OF EXCISE, DEC. 12. Mr. John illimkhouse, a wholoutle spirit-dealer, in Fair -street, Horsleydown, was charged with re tailing spirits without a licence. The L'OIIMISSIONERS fined him 12/, 10s. for the offence. He was then charged on two other informations, with having a deficiency of 17 gallons of spirits on the 21st of June, and also a deficiency of 11 gallons on the 24th of August, neither of which deficiencies leas accounted for as hying been sent out by per mits. The penalty is 20s. per gallon so unac counted for. The CouRT fined him 10s. for every gallon defi cient in the stock. Mr. Louis, landlord of the Five Dells .public.: -house, Chancery-lane, wai fined 101. for having a bottle of mixture in his cellar, which was used for colouring beer. Th© defendant did not know that the mixture was in the cellar, and supposed it was there when he took the house. John Evans was fined 1001 for having in his poi sesnion 1071 b. of soap, on which duty hnd not been paid. WOOLWICH PETTY SESSIONS. On Friday last, a petty sessions of the peace for this town and its neighbourhood was holden at the Magistrates' Chambers, before SirJoHN WEBB, Bart. as Chairman, and a full bench of the local Justices. The case of principal interest which came on for investigation was a charge of passing counterfeit 51. Bank of England notes, preferred against a rather respectable looking young man named Ross, who for some time past has been sought for under the diffe rent cognomen of Quimlcy, by the London police, for similar offences committed repeatedly and exten sively in the metropolis, Middlesex, and Surrey. Mr. Christmas, one of the Bank inspectors, was in attendance for the prosecuti on , an d Lea, one of the officers of the Whiteehapel police, was in waiting to secure the prisoner in the event of the present accusation not being brought home to him. From the evidence it appeared that Ross, not long since, called upon Mr. Buck, a licensed victualler, at Woolwich, and, pretending that he came from a Cap tain Fagan, asked for, and obtained two bottles of wine, in payment for which he tendered a 51. bank note, and there being nn suspicion of its spuriousness, received 41. 12s. in change. It subsequently turned out to be a forgery, and, on its being submitted to his inspection, was proved to be such by Mr. Christ mas. After swindling Mr. Buck, he culled upon Mr. Watson, a grocer, and representing himself as in the service of Mr. Chapman, a publican at Charl ton, said he was sent by that person for a pound of tea and three pounds of loaf sugar. These were given to him, and he received the difference between their amount and another counterfeit note, purport ing to be for .5/. Shortly after his departure, some suspicion arose in the mind of Mr. Watson, and he gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner was forthwith transmitted to Maid stone, to abide his trial on the capital charge. Mr. SAXTON, newspaper-vender, of Evan gelist -court, Ludgate-hill, (lied in Clerkenwell workhouse on Tuesday, where be had been removed the night previ ous, having been found on the steps of a door in a dying state. His wretched appearance excited great sympathy. He was a man of the most niggardly habits, and his ill ness is believed to have been produced by a want of the common necessaries of life. On the anniversaries of the newsman's feast he would devour whatever came within his reach most voraciously, and to an excess. To avoid the expense of fuel he habitually frequented a coffee-shop in winter, where he remained all his leisure part of the day. His room was covered with filth and dirt, as if it had never been cleared during the time he had occupied it. Several Bank of England notes were discovered in a box; deeds and leases of houses were also found, together with a book containing a summary of his property in the Bank, Savings Bank, lice. Altogether his property amounts to 1,0001. a year. ECCLESIASTICAL PENANCE, OR TH E CUTTIE STOOL" AT CAMBERWELL.—Yesterday the new Church at Camberwell was crowded to excess, in consequence of its having been notified that a male parishioner was to do penance according to the Ecclesi astical law, for having called a respectable married woman " out of her proper name"—that is, bestowing on her a certain appellation. The officiating Clergyman, the Rev. Mr. VANE, after he had concluded his sermon, descended from the pulpit and approached the Vestry. The pres sure of the crowd to obtain a sight of the proceedings in the Vestry, where it was then understood the recantation was to be made, led to great noise and confusion, and a scene was exhibited very unbecoming the sacred character of the building. At length the party offending made his appearance, attired in a white covering. He was attended by four friends on either side, and while the Rev. Mr. VANE read the form of recantation laid down by the Ecclesiastical law, he bowed in affirmation of the several points in it, and the ceremony terminated. The party then left the Vestry room by the small door, to the mani fest disappointment of several hundred persons who were assembled outside the Church: , Any longer respect to these people, would ap pear in the eyes of friends as well as enemies symp toms of weakness and signs of cowardice. The feeble and the base do not unite in France. The crisis is approaching—it is inevitable—it must be short and salutary. The jacobin journals affect to repeat that the Ministry are desirous of avoiding it by their retirement. They lie to their partisans and to themselves. The Ministers are ready and deter mined, and the more calm because they are the more resolute; they will not advance to encounter any body. Theluestion of a majority henceforward appears to - them one of the insignificant themes, abandoned to the-idle talk of coffee-houses, and to the silliness of - saloons.

Let them persevere in their noble and courageous resolutions, and they will see, arising in their be half, not only the majority,but nearly the unanimity of Frenchmen. What then is this pretended ch. iherwing majority, which not only presumes to treat with the throne as one power with another, but to dictate conditions to the living law,—the source of all laws,—that is, royalty ? Of what is it com posed? Of rhetoricians without a conscience, of demagogues without people, and of generals with out soldiers; and yet they dare to call themselves the representatives of public opinion, and the organs of the nation. France recognizes only the King as its immortal representative; the word of tir! King is theexpression of the sentiments, of the wishes, of the wants, and of the interests of his people. The majority—is the King. LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE JOURNAL DES DEBATS. " Sir,--I am a foreigner, but I love France. It is two years Since I visted your country, and I assure you that those French Journals which pro fess extreme opinions gave me a false idea of `•our internal political position. " I arrived with the persuasion that you were on the eve of a revolution ; and it is generally believed abroad that a revolutionary spirit pervades the heart of every man; some desiring a republic—others despotism. In many foreign Courts it is believed that there are no means to preserve the Crown to the Bourbons but by destroying all the institutions granted by Louis XVIII. Finally, general fear is created by this spirit of .Tacobinism, announced so confidently and positively by some of your gazettes to exist. Before arriving at Paris, I was anxious to travel through the departments. " It is three months since I arrived here, and it is three months since I have been an imp ar ti a l spec tator. My being a foreigner has afforded me faci lities to observe societyjn nearlf-all its grades in the capital; and I send you the candid result of my ob servations. " Never did I see a better spirit reign in France. Never did did I more fully perceive the desire which all classes feel for tranquillity. Never was there less of a revolutionary spirit; never was there a more unanimous wish to preserve the monarchical Government; never was there less of jacobilis and of absolutists. The immense majority of French men is satisfied, and your countrymen, accused as they are of fickleness, only ask ;IA only wish for repose and stability. 1 then confidently affirm that the French have been calumniated abroad, and that certain journals have shamefully deceived their readers, by asserting that there existed a party who wished for a republic. I also affirm that every ob serving traveller that arrives in France, whatever may be his political opinions, will conic to the same conclusion as myself, if be be a candid man and have no private interest to make !din see things differently. " I assert that no King ever felt more secure or tranquil on his throne than Charles X.. and that he cannot but deride the reports created to make him fear the tendency of his people to revolution. No people in Europe are less inclined that way, and for a very simple reason—because every Frenchman has still in his memory, either from personal experience or from his parents' tradition, the frightful evils which revolution produces. " I also assert, that if a revolution were possible, it would proceed from the Ministerial power. Frenchmen of all ranks are averse to it, but that power might provoke one. No person in France, no party, could alone attempt to shake the throne of the 'Bourbons ; hut false friends might compromise its safety, by continually attempting to destroy its supports. In striving to avoid a danger which does not exist, they would fall into a fathomless abyss. " I likewise assert, that 99 Frenchmen out of 100 detest alike ultra-liberals and ultra-royalists. All respectable people look upon those men of exalt ed passions as the most dangerous enemies of the King and his people. . _ _ " 1 still faille': assert, without fear of contradic tion, that the unanimous wish of all foreign powers, more enlightened in the present day than formerly, coincides with that of the majority of France, which is, to see the King choose his Ministry among wise, firm, and moderate men. I assert, finally, that if a Ministry so composed were to resist with energy the demands of extreme opinions, it would deserve well of the King of France, his people, and foreigners, for it is the interest of all Europe to see France tranquil. " If you should think fit, Sir, to publish my letter, I beg you will not make public my name, as my situ ation in society makes me anxious to preserve secrecy. " Accept, &c." (From the Ifessager des Chambres of Friday.) TOULON, DEC. s.—An English corvette has brought to Port Mahon an Algerine Plenipotentiary, who is commissioned to negociate. It is affirmed that it is at the solicitation of the Porte that th„• Dey of Algiers has decided to endeavour to put an end to his differences with France. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, NOV. 29.—The affairs of Greece, which are now the subject of active ne gociatious at London, occasion a constant exchange of couriers between London, Paris, and St. Peters burgh. The principal questions arc relative to the political existence and the form of the future govern ment of Greece, and it seems to be decided that the country is to be entirely exempt from the sove reignty of the Turks, and that it is to be a mo narchical state. But it is not determined who shall be the new sovereign. Greece, by its geographical position, and the rapid improvement which it may be expected to make, will certainly become of great political importance. It is presumed, with some appearance of cer tainty, that a prince of one of the smaller German states will be selected. Some persons speak of Prince Gustavus of Sweden, but it is affirmed that he has not offered himself as a candidate. In truth it will not be an easy task, in the present circum• stances of Greece, to effect the r4mplete regenera• tion of a people among whom there C are so many germs of fermentation, and to direct it with success in the career through which Count Capo Olstrta has led it with so latch glory in so short a time.

I.—The Constantinople mail of the 10th of November has at letsgth arrived, having been only retarded a few days by the obstacles Itsinti at this season. The letters are not all delivered .1 we learn, however, that the Divan had several times met to deliberate in the 11 days from Oct. 27 to Nov. 10, in consequence of a communication front London, which was generally supposed to relate to the affairs of Greece. The office of Defterdar, or treasurer, is, under the present circumstances, one of the most unpleasant and difficult; the present trea surer is said to aim at lightening the heavy burden hitherto borne by the people, and at the same time at finding,(milans to fulfil punctually the engagements into which the Porte has entered. A plan hat 11:e!y been spoken of for a loan to be raised in En g l a nd, On the security of the revenue produced by the customs at Smyrna and Constantinople, which plan was formed by an English merchant resident at Smyrna, who, it is said, is gone to England to pro pose it.

FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, NOV. 24.—The Rime tory cordon, on the side of the Principalities, ins strengthened, because at the latter end of last month the plague had spread farther, both in theio and the remote Russian districts. Travellers ate subjected to forty days' quarantine, and goods 21 days, and the latter are also to be purified. Com merce suffers by this immure, but in the preseat instance Ag . .only mesas slot caw be irespiereet---te --' exercise great vigilance for the preservation of the public health. The organization of the national troops in the principalities is commenced, and sian officers are appointed to train them. Foreign speculttors wish to contract for the clothing and ac coutrements, but as experience has proved how little advantage the service derives from such con tracts, and how easily abuses ensue, it is probable the Divan will take the business into its own hands. The choice of the hospodars seems not to be distant. It is reported that the Sultan has sent to the Emperor of Russia a list of those persons whore he judges_ to be qualified for these officers, requesting him to select from them the future hospodars. _ _ In Poland it appears that the annual recruiting of the army is proceeding as usual, but that it is not intended to call the Diet together this year. The Grand Duke Constantine is expected at Warsaw before the beginning of next month.—.4llgemeine Zeilung, Dec. 7.

ODESSA, Nov. lii.—There have been some fresh cases of plague in the :Jews' quarter. All the patients, and the persons who had intercourse with them, have been removed to the Lazaretto. _ In the last four days two persons died of the plague in the Lazaretto of the port, and one person has fallen sick. In the temporary quarantine two persons have been attacked by the plague. he trade of our port is very active. BRUSSELS, DEC. 10.—His Majesty has decided that the affairs relative to the Catholic Church shall be separated from the department of the Minister of the Interior, and placed again under a special board, at the head of which he has placed Baron de Peticky. This board, like the preceding, will be fixed at Brussels.—Brussels Papers, Dec. 12. The meeting of the inhabitants of Hudders field and its neighbourhood, held yesterday, was full of dis tressing interest. We have long thought and said that the suffering of the labouring class in that neighbourhood was extreme ; but the case made out yesterday was stronger even than we had imagined. The immediate cause of the evil is low wages, aggravated in many cases by a deficiency of work ; and the era of the reduction of wages, though it was not mentioned at the meeting, is dated from the period of general distress in 1826, when stout, able-bodied men were employed on the public highways at the rate of 6s. per week in breaking atones. This employment not suiting the habits, nor indeed the constitutions of the weavers, they were glad to accept employment in their own business even at this extremely depressed rate of wages, and the consequence has been, that front that time to this they have never been able to obtain any material advance. This change produced no lasting benefit to the masters, who soon sold their goods at a price correspond ing with the wages paid to their men, and, in many cases, even without any profit whatever. Under these circum stances, both masters and men deprecate, with eqititt tle trstt►ion, the system of low wages and low profits. These evils the meeting, with great justice, attributed to exor bitant taxation and unduly high rents, which the change in the currency, front gold to paper, in 1796, b nd:d much to produce, and which the recent change fromiaper to gold, without a corresponding change in the rent and taxes, failed to remedy, and indeed greatly aggravated. The cause of the present unexampled distress., as thus stated, suggests the remedy ; but how far the people of the country have the spirit to demand, and the Govern ment of the country the courage and ♦irtue to apply, the remedy, remains to be determined. It is only candid to sty that we believe there is no portion of the West Biding of Yorkshire labouring under so great an extremity of dis tress as that with which Upper Agbrigg, in which Ilud. dersfield is situated, has long been visited; but it is incum. bent upon every part of the county, and of the country, to contribute as much as lies in their power to the re moval of those evils which may soon reach themselves, and in which too many of them do already participate. We have neither time nor space for further &nervation at pre sent ; but we solicit the attention of our readers to the proceedings of yesterday's meeting, u reported in the sub.. Sequent columns of this Paper, and to which we hope they will give a deliberate perusal.
