TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. • DA 1 IX listracts from the Morning Papers, August 1. NUE TIMES.] Though there is no single article or fact of great importance in the papers last received from Cadiz, which reach to the 14th, we find, on pe ecisal, that their contents, considered in the whole, disclose a State of things calculated to en• courage hopes favourable to the cause of Spain. Of the situation of Galicia, and the prospects it afforded, little appears to have been then known in Cadiz; but from all parts of Andalusia and the adjoining provinces the intelligence is highly encouraging. Guerilla corps show themselves in every spot unoccupied by the French. Several strong corps are spread over Estremadura ; and in the country between Madrid and Seville French couriersare daily intercepted. The prisoners taken by the invaders frequently escape, and either join some detachment of the regular constitutional force, or the nearest guerilla. An active partisan, named Jaime Alfonzd, who, at the head of a small party, has for some time past been harassing the French, and overawing the factious in the neigh bourhood of Valencia, is now placed at the head of a strong corps of infantry .and cavalry, raised by the exertions of Senor Abascal, the political chief of that province. But what the French have most to dread is, that the hestilities of the different parties towards each other will 'soon subside, and the general diScontent become con centrated and directed against them. Their friends of the Faith are leaving . them : the fac tious abandon their standards, and are converted into Constitutionalists. Colonel Pablo, who commanded a detached party in Valencia, lately joined General Ballasteros with his corps, in creased by the addition of 1,000 of the . factieus. These men expressed their regret for having been misled, and their anxious desire to turn their arms against the enemies of Spain., The forces of Ballasteros and Zayas are understood to have formed a junction in the neighbour hood of Grenada. They were rapidly ap-, preaching Andalusia; and, on their arrival in that province, it was thought that unless they re,reived reinforcements, the French would be obliged to withdraw from before the Isle ofl Leon. The success of time French enterprise against Cadiz appears more and more hopeless. The Constitutional Papers ) in discussing this sub ject, ohserVe there are only three ways by which the enemy can attain his object—namely, by force, by intrigue, or by famine. In considering these means, it is observed with respect to the first, that there is little reason to fear, since all the power of Napoleon could make no impression on Cadiz, It is , true that the French have esta. blished a blockade by sea, but besides that no blockade can be so strict as to prove com pletely efficient, the Spaniards consider this disadvantage more than compensated by the greater means they now possess of maintaining communications by land, and obtaining supplies in that direction. As to the second means, it is presumed that little effect can, be produced by intrigue in, a place where the men who ore most compromised in the fate of the revolution have titk(!n refuge, and where an army devoted to the Cause is assembled. As to the last: resource- famine—it is observed, that before the French can expect to accomplish any thing in that way, they must be masters of the whole of the coast Alicant to Algesiras. In the mean time, thg,Spaniards have the opportunity of supplying the mselves with every thing they want, and also of increasing and arming their flot.ilta of gun. boats, which will be of essential service both i defending and provisionin g the g reat citadel of li be;rty and the constitution. The Cortes conduct their sittings in the WWII manner,, and deliberate With the same calmness and firmness which they dis played in theirproceed lugs beforethe Bourbon mer cenaries crossed the Pyrenees. They lately took into consideration the inconvenience which might arise from the absence of deputies, if after ,the conclusion of the present session the permanent deputation should consider an extraordinary con vocation necessary ; and on the 11th ult. the fol. lowing resolution, moved by Senor Rico, was adopted on a division of 63 against " With a view of preventing the difficulties which " may be experienced if there should not be, in " this city a majority of the Cortes, it is resolved " that none of the deputies shall, on any pretext, " leave the island until the meeting of the next " ordinary Cortes for the year 18U."--in the sitting of the 7th, on the report of a committee, army estimates to the amount of 676,387,951 reals vellon were voted. [MORNING POST.] We received last night, by Express, French Papers lothe 31. st ult. The Ministers had not yet mustered up sufficient resolution to acknow ledge openly the defeat experienced by General Boort.. hefore•Corunna, but contiued to prepare the, public mind for the intelligence by state. rrittiit.s (rain 'a With it WU' impossible that the truth abouid not he inferred. One of the Journals goes so fur us to admit that after the affair of the 18th or oty, General Bourke ",had taken a new poition." The meaning of this is evident. In the situation in which that Commander was placed at the time of the action, a new position mast have been, either the occupation of the town after its conquest, or a removal from the scene of un availing slaughter. As no claim is made to the former, the latter,must necessarily be understood. The Moniteur is not quite so communicative : hut its reticence is eloquent ; for accustomed as it . has been since the commencement of the Spanish campaign to associate the glories of tri 11011th every petty skirmish in which the French troops have been engaged, its simple mention of " a vigorous affair," without any boastful assertion with respect to its result, is equal to an, admission that that result had been unfavourable. {NEW TIMES.] Consols in the course of yesterday were as low st l Bo,l, hut afterwards advanced to 818, at which price they closed: The memorable alarm para. griph allot gatarday's Couritr is acouted more and more every day. The Eloileflatlycontradicts it ; and, instead of " falling back behind the Ebro," the Duke d'Angouleme, it, appears, is going in person to Seville. This resolution of his Royal Highness was naturally regaled yester day, on 'Chang e, as a convincing proof that lie had entire confience in the prevailing sentiments of the people in favour of the Royal cause.— The Courier, we apprehend, must feel itself ra ther in need of support, when it resorts for con firmation of its unfortunate article to The Chro nick and Times. Those liberal Journals have certainly never ceased to assure their readers that the French in Spain were on the eve of destruc tion. ' The Times, indeed, before the invasion took place, predicted that the moment the French passed the Pyrenees " they would be swallowed up by au armed nation ;" and the least it can say now is, that they must be destroyed if they do not retreat. As to the Courier's Madrid Corre spondent, he is no doubt a very worthy Gentle man, but he writes on Spanish politics about as profoundly as one of our Cockney poets in a lodging at Pappstead might about the views and intentions of our own Cabinet. Our cotemporary, in laying this sagacious letter before the public, very properly " desires to be understood as not attaching to it any authority of his own." [BRITISH PRESS.] Angouleme, the French papers decisively an nounce, is about to quit Madrid, and with him the Regency vanishes : this junta of traitors, who have been carrying, for the lust three months., 'proscription and confiscation throughout Spain, wherever their power could reach, will now have a price set upon their heads by the Cortes, and become miserable refugees and pensioners of the French Court, should they escape beyond the Pyrenees ; and thus, while Constitutional Spain is victorious, will close the vile but short career of Wanted°, Montemar, Calderon, and Osma. —The Prince Commander-in-Chief was, it is stated, to set off on the 281 h, at nine o'clock in the morning, from Madrid : his desti nation was said to be Seville; but that we doubt. When Angouleme quits the Spanish capital, our own impression is he will do so, wearied and despairing, to leave Spain for ever. It is as. serted he means to fix himself at Seville for two purposes : first", to press the 'siege of Cadiz more closely ; and next, perhaps, to negociate with the Cortes, his first operation failing, as it is most likely to do. Lauriston, it is said, replaces him at Madrid. But Angouleme, individually, is a contemptible fanatic, and a mere cipher. His presence at Seville, unaided by new forces, would be of no account whatever, and afford neither strength, nor confidence to the operations of Hour desoult nor Bourmont. As to negociations, the Cortes, in their day of greatest peril, refused to treat with an enemy on the soil ; and it is not likely they will do so now, when universal vic tory and support are crowding round their successful banners. No ; the French cannot and will not remain in Madrid, nor will Lauriston hold that capital. They have raised a storm of fanaticism in one faction they find themselves utterly unable to contrail', and the opposite party are meeting them in every province with arms in their hands. The expence of this vile and fanatical war is terrify ing. Napoleon sacked and ravaged Spain to sup port his troops. Angouleme, to conciliate his people, has, as yet, paid for every thing taken: general opposition has been thus, in some degree, disarmed. But a different system once pursued, universal resistance is sure to follow, and then certain annihilation will be the lot of the French army. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The removal of the Duke d'Angouleme from Madrid to Seville, announced in the Paris Papers, is supposed to have for object a negociu. tion with the Cortes. Judging of that body from the spirit it has hitherto displayed, we should suppose there is little chance of any proposi• tion from the Duke being listened to for a mo. meat. The truth is, the Cortes know very well that they must either succeed or prepare them. selves for the scaffold. There is in fact no medium. The Cortes, by receiving the law from an in vader, would thereby deprive themselves of all authority over their countrymen, and become even contemptible in their eyes. To them would necessarily be imputed all the calamities of the invasion ; for as they both knew and confessed they had no means of preventing the march of the French from one extremity of the country to the other,if they did not mean to hold out to the last ex tremity, it would have been far more advisable to treat with the enemy before the invasion than after it. Indeed men who could be capable of such ire- becility us to refuse to listen to any terms before the invasion, and to change their mind after it had taken place, without any circumstance hav ing, occurred on which they did not calculate, would deserve all the contempt that could pos. sibly be heaped on them.—We may be sure that the Duke d'Angouleme will offer no terms to the Constitutionalists which will not involve the pre. ponderance of the servile party—the party which abhors every thing that savours of knowledge, improvement and civilization. All that are even moderately enlightened, are for the Constitution, while their opponents are a few imbecile Gran dees, the Priests, and a brutal and ferocious, rabble. To give a preponderance to such men would be to cut off Spain from all hope of im provement. It is only from the preponderance of the Liberals that Spain can hope to appear to any advantage among the nations. To negociate then with the Duke d'Angouleme is to give to the Servile Party all that they' could gain by the most complete success on the part of themselves and their French allies.— The Duke, as we have said, will tale care to secure the preponderance to his allies. But if he were even inclined, he cannot by any arrangement leave the parti equally balanced. The balance of powers in a state is an absurdity which no one would now think of seriously maintaining. The power of the Monks must be annihilated, if we would wish to see Spain happy and prosperous. They have regularly taken possession of their Convents in the districts where the French have the superiority ; but they must be driven : from them and unfrocked. We may be sure, however, that the Duke d'Angouleme will never consent to the purification of Spain from these pests, which is , so indispensably ne cessary to it. The Journal des Debuts speculates as to the manner in which Sir Robert Wilson shall be disposed of,should he fall into the hands of the French. It will be time enough to dis cuss this question when they catch him. [MORNING HERALD.] There is a fact of some interest stated in the Paris news received yesterday. It is, that the Duke of Angouleme was to leave Madrid on the 28th, and that the preparations for his departure Ihad been peremptorily ordered. Seville is the place to which he proceeds—but the specific pur pose is not stated. The Ultra Journal called the Etoile ascribes his departure to intelligence receiv ed from Cadiz. As to the character of this intel ligence, the Journal pronounces that it must be favourable, for that the Prince" looked pleased." In connection with the Duke of Angouleme's going to Seville, the same Paper mentions the prevalence of rumours that the King would soon be free—nay, that he actually was set at liberty. But even the Etude does not suggest the least foundation for these reports—and the probability is that they are pure fabrications placed by the side of the French Prince's departure, in order to divert attention from the real purpose of his changing quarters, to suppositions less mortifying to the Generalissimo, and more favourable to the French arms. Another Journal ascribes his movement to " the wish to occupy a more military position,"—implying no doubt that the aspect of Spanish affairs recently has obliged him to take up positions of greater security. But what becomes of Madrid in the mean time ? Will the Duke of Angouleme proceed to Seville merely with an escort I Is it the purpose of his journey to see and direct the operations before Cadiz under his own immediate eye ? Such would appear his in. tention, if one journal may be relied on—for it states that the newly created Marshal Lau riston, who lately reached Bayonne, to take the command of a fifth French corps, was to succeed the Duke at Madrid. This would imply that the main body of the French at Madrid were to remain there. On the other hand, the Elate, much more likely to be in the secret of French operations, states that " orders were given for every thing to be got ready to march at the first signal " which naturally suggests the idea that the whole or greater part of the troops were to be set, in motion. Now it is %veil known, that the force left at Madrid, after the 8,000 men of Bour. moot were detached from the capital of Spain, in one line, and the 7.000 men of Bordesoulle in another, upon Seville and Cadiz, must be very small, and scarcely capable of affording th e Prince a strong escort. It was thought at the time, that the Duke of Angouleme was in SOIDP hazard, with so small a number of men, from his liability to attack by the Constitutional part of the population, and Guerillas in that quarter.—.. It may hence be presumed that he wiihdraws the whole of the French troops from Madrid, leaving the Regency, to be protected by the bravery of the men of the Faith. With such a force for their protection, the Empe. cinado may be tempted to visit them. It ap pears by their own accounts in the Madrid Gazette, that this Chief was hovering at no great distance from the capital .waiting, as they in sinuate, the result of the pretended plot to in n e t i f ; e e n C t s h u a r p c p h ea o r f burn the Duke of Angoulem t e he t t o le u ita li v o e ly be G en ho a s i t r . ead l y nd p e r e o d adin g for their security. The plot to fire the church, and dispose of the Duke of Angouleme, in an auto-dot-fe, seems to be a convenient pretence to imprison those whom they call suspected persons at Madrid. The farce has been carried so far as to address the Duke upon his " providential escape." It wa s something like the officer's escape of being killed at the battle of Dettingen, by his having been sent providentially, some days b e fore, upon a distant party. The b e st o f it i s , t h at a woman,their own sho w i ng , was a t h er who, foragingon devotions in the church when the fire broke out, and to whose evidence they appeal, escaped without the slightest injury —and, indeed, as it would seem, without the least alarm. They have taken a further precaution, which is likely, how. ever, to recoil upon themselves. An order of the Regency, that all volunteers of militia, though they had abandoned the service and the Cortes, and all secularised monks—in other words, monks who will not resume' the cowl and the frock, should quit Madrid. But this will only add to the bands of Constitutional guerillas, which bad started up in the province of Gua dalaxara. CORONER'S INQUEST. Wetliresday evening an inquisition was held at Middlesex Respite', before Ttto3l4lB STIRLIN G), Esq., on the hotly of Mr. Gilbert Gordon, aged ,23,. late foreman to Mrs. Hood, baker, J a m es - street , Covent garden. John Watkina, lodged at No. 3, James-street ; deceased and a man named White slept in the same room. About twelve o'clock on Saturday night the deceased was brought home by White ; he was well in health, but tipsy, and went up stairs without assistance,' and the other man in a few minutes, afterwards took a light and went to the room; on entering, deceased was at the, window, very sick ; 'White undressed him, and put 'hint to bed ; they then fell asleep, and were shortly after alarmed by , their landlady, Mrs. /lood,, coming up ; on awaking, they found the window open, and deceas e d m i ss i ng . Witness and White in s t ant ly repaired to the yard, and there saw the deceased lying , on his hack ; he was alive, groaned very much, but never spoke. A surgeon was sent for, who lanced dereased'a left arm, but no blood issued ; there. was no external injury except' n the right elbow; he was co nveye d to Middl esex Ho s pit a l, w h ere h e ex pired in about two hours. The deceased had fallen a height of 40 feet, . Mr. Stephen Clark, house surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, examined deceased, and discovered the right arm fractured ex. ternally ; bad since opened the head and cheat, and found the liver ruptured, also an effusion of blood in the abdomen occa. sioned by the rupture. Verdict—" Accidental Death." At the AssiZeS lately holden for tlie.county of Essex, a parish clerk was called to prove a rate, who could not read ! Th►is fact was mentioned by Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW on the bench at Lewes, last T uesday.--(Brigliton Gazette.) it is not generally known that the pulpit, read ing desk, and the seats at the Communion Table of St. Pancras new Church, are made of part of the once venerable and well known Pairlop Oak, oft Epping Forest. LITERARY ANECDOTES. Tlis,Sixox CHRONICLE. —Bishop Gibson, a letter to Dr. Charlet, of Oxford, dated 1719-20, thus mentions his wishes in respect to this vene rable historical record, a new and 'splendid trans lation and edition of which has just been published by Mr. Ingram :----" I have a great desire, before I die, to make the Saxon Chronicle a complete work, by additions which may be bad from other manuscripts, and by reducing every piece of his tory whatever, that has been originally written in Saxon, and may be determined to a certain year, or near it, into one body of Saxon Annals, with proper distinctions to show frOm whence every thing is taken. There are, I take it, many Saxon pieces which, though, never parts of any formal books of annals, are of undoubted autho rity, and as truly historical as the Annals them selves ; •and I think there can be no harm in cast ing all these into one uniform body with the An nals, so long as the reader is told what is, and What is not, a part of the Annals properly so culled ; but there will beAhis great benefit by it, that the reader will see at one view whatever history remains, which has been ever written in the Saxon tongue: from which circumstance, there is no doubt but all our ancient histories derive their chief authority." lILEIAN AND COTTONIAN LIBRARIES.--Lord Oxford, the collector of the first of these libra ries, in a letter to Hearne, the antiquary, dated 1731, says, " I have been very busy in furnishing a new room i built last year for books, and it is quite full ; it is, in lenght, 47 feet ; in breadth, 21 feet." Of this wonderful private collection of books Government purchased the MSS. for 10,0004, and • placed them in the British Museum. The printed books (on the binding part of which alone Lord Oxford expended more than 18,0001.) were sold to Osborne, the bookseller, for only 13,0001. For an excellent Analysis of the liar leian Catalogue, published in 1743.4, the curious reader is referred to Dibdin's The Cottonian Library, now also part of the invaluable collection at the British Museum, - narrowly escaped destruction about two months before the date of. Lord Oxford's letter alluded to, the following account of which is given in the first volume of the Gentleman's Magnvine, Oct. p. 451. 46 Oct. 23.—A fire broke out in the house of Mr. Bentley, adjoining to the King's School, near Westminster Abbey, which burnt down that part of the house that contained the King's and Cot (olden Libraries. Almost all the printed books were consumed, and part of the manuscripts. Among the latter, those which Dr. Bently had been collecting for his Greek Testament, for the last two years, valued at 20000 'lbis account, however, is exaggerated ; it afterwards appeared that 111 books were lost, /r e, 's in T l e 7 st i ze burnt, or enti re l y d e f ace d , and 09 rendered im perfect. tc a k r e 8, tells i r i t n e c k h , a w riting to e' in his study a very good and correct MS-copy of Wick liffe's Translation of the New Testament upon vellum, in which he says, cc I do not remember to have met with the word knave, except i n the 12th chapter of the Revelation in which it oc curs twice joined with child, instead of male or man-child ; thus, verse the sth, c And she bare a knave-child ;'—and again, v. 13--- 4 he pursuede the womman that bare the knave -child.' (1) .Explicit."--T he word explicit, generally used at the end of MSS. and early printed books, is said to be a contraction of explains. The ancient books were nothing but rolls of parch ment, (hence the Latin word volumen, and our volumed which were unfolded by the reader in his progress through them. When they were quite unfolded they were of course finished, and the word explains, which properly conveys the former sense, was afterwards used in the latter, when the books assumed a different form, to sig nify that they were finished or ended. BOBAIIT (naturalist.)—Dr. Grey, in one of his notes on Iludibras, tells the following story of this eminent naturalist, who was keeper of the Physic-garden at . Oxford, in the reign of Charles II.:- 46 lie made a dead rat resemble the com mon picture of dragons, by altering its head and tail, and thrusting in taper sharp sticks, which distended the skin on each side till it resetobled wings, (1) He let it dry as hard as possible. The learned immediately pronouncd it a dragon; , and one of them sent an accurate description of it to Dr. Magliabechi,librarian to the Grand Duke of Tus cany. Several fine copies of verses were wrote on so rare a subject ; but at last Mr. Bobart owned the cheat : however, it was looked upon as a master-piece of art, and as such deposited in the Museum." BODLEIAN LIBRARY.-4 4 When Oxford was surrendered to the Parliament, June 24, 1646, the first thing General Fairfax did, was to set a good guard of soldiers to preserve the 13odleian library.. 'Tis said there was more hurt done by the Cavaliers (during their garrison) by Ivey of embezzilling and cutting off chaines of hookes, than there was since. He was a lover of - learn ing, and had he not taken this special care, that noble library had been entirely destroyed, for there were ignorant senators enough who would have been contented to hese had it so. This I doe assure you from an ocular witness°, E. W. Esq.—AubreN's Lives. Walton's Lives.—Mr. Russel, in a letter to George Ballard, author of the Learned Ladies, in returning him. Isaac Walton's Lives rf Dome, Hooker, Milan, and litrbert, passes on them the following encomium: 44 An integrity of heart shines, in my opinion, through every page ; the author seems delighted with the goodness he treats of, and to look fit the venues of these great men as peculiar advantages to himself. It is a great pity that lives of so eminent and ex. emplary n conduct are pot in like manner trans mitted to posterity ; but it is an observation too justly made by foreigners, that the English are the most desirous of poTpetuating the memory of their villains and the roost negligent of recording (1) It Is used in this sense 14. Chauser— " On hire he gat a knave•ebilde anon." 41an of Lawn Tale, i. 6130. the memory of- their virtuous persons, of any na. Lion upon earth; perhaps it may be the same perverse turn which makes us build palaces for , our beggars, and alms-houses for our Kings. There might be an inconceivable benefit derived - from faithful accounts of private virtues. I am 1 as much pleased with them as with histories of a more public nature, nor can I see any reason why it should not afford a Christian reader as much useful entertainment, to observe the steps and gradual advances by which a religious man I conquered his passions, as to follow Alexander or Marlborough in the reduction of the Eastern or , Gallic monarchies. Matters of so specious a kind as these last are seldom (says the judicious and elegant Dr. Sprat) related with fidelity, and even when they are, serve but for the imitation . of very few. They make more for the ostenta tion than real benefit of human life ; as it is from the practice of -our equals we are taught to corn . tnand our passions, regulate our knowledge, and govern our actions." A valuable edition of all Walton's. Lives, with notes, and an account of the author, by Thomas Zotich, appeared at York in 1796, 4to, and 1807, Bvo. And a reprint of the Lives only has issued from the Clarendon press, in two small volumes, Oxford, 1806, Walton's Angler, a book universally known and admired. The whole Duly of Man.--Ballard, just men• tioned, gives the honour of the authorship of this celebrated religious production of Dame Dorothy Pachington, one of his learned Ladies ; the ori. ginal (or at least a copy) of which, written by the aforesaid lady, he was assured by Sir Her bert Packington, was still to be seen in the ar chives of that family. Mr. Owen, a literary con temporary, gives a different account, and would ascribe it to Archbishop Frewen, of whom he tells the following story : " A certain gentleman of figure and fortune, (name unknown) embarked 30 deeply during the civil wars in the King's cause, that he was either ruined in his circumstances and so affected with his misfortunes that he died ; or , else was sip closely pursued by the opposite party, that lie was obliged to fly his country. His family was reduced in consequence very low, and his lady was forced (for the support of herself and chil dren) to keep a sort of boarding-house, and for this purpose she rented a large old house (since de molished) called Barrows hedges, situate upon the side of Banstead Downs, about two m il es f rom Epsom, in Surr e y. To this place many of the' ladies friends (females chiefly) who were attached to the King's cause, retired ; insomuch, that the family ordinarily consisted of 24 persons in num ber, occasionally perhaps of twice as many.— Here there was a certain clergyman in this fa , may, who officiated as chapl a i n , and to whom several persons (who were for the Church and Constitution) brought the children to be chris tened, and also came themselves at proper times, to partake regularly of the Lord's Supper. But all this was performed in a clandestine manner, and among friends, for the Clergyman's real name was not known to any of the sisterhood itself, the lady of the house and some few of her most inti mate friends excepted." This unknown clergy.. man it afterwards turned out was named Frewen, who was made, at the Restoration, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, and at last Archbistnol of York ; and on the publication of the Vhok Duly of Man, and comparing it with certain notes of a course of lectures delivered by him at the ladies house alluded to, it was discovered (though h f r e o m n e t v l e s e r sarityt it), f that h e lan gu age wa a s n tdheidaeuasthor. -• " It seems notwithstanding, however," oh. serves a modern writer, " pretty clear from Bal. lard's Learned Ladies, that Dorothy Lady Pack. ington, wife of Sir John Packington,• Knight and Baronet, and daughter of Thomas Lord Coventry, was the author of the Whole Duly of Man. For Mr. Ballard's arguments in support of this opinion, we must refer to his work, in which he notices the preceding account as written by " an inge.. nious Clergyman," but he considers his reasons in support of the Archbishop's claim to the pro_ duction in question," not important enough to need a particular refutation."—Ment. of Learned Ladies, p. 320, edit. 4to 1752. We are happy to hear, that good hopes are entertained of the herring fishing this season.— An immense nunrlrt•r of boats are embarked in this trade at the different stations in the Moray Frith.—(Edinburgh Courant,- July 28.) ' A few evenings since, some silver spoons and forks were stolen from one of the pantries in the Royal Lodge, Windsor ; it is thought that the robbery must have been effected by some persons connected with the establishment, as there are sentries placed all round the house at night, so as to prevent the approach of strangers; but such active. measures are pursued for the detection of the thieves, that k is hoped they will not long remain undiscovered.
