This impression, which we are t persuaded if the Ultra Crusade against free dom in the Peninsula 'should be attended (vith any portion of suscess, will bi , come ' snore and more vivid, is pregnant with dangers so terrible to the Bourbon Throne, that the King will ere long be under the necessity of calling to his councils men whose prudence may in part correct the evils which his present admi nistration has engendered, and .whose character, interests, nod prepossessions, are such as to afford that guarantee, which in France at the present day is required, alike to secure private property and to fix politi9l institutions. The state of pro perty in France, in consequence of the charges produced by the ltevolution,is such as to give the whole middle class of the people an interest in opposition to the ancient regime, much more in tense than any considerations of mere politics would be likely to excite. And this class is, be yond all compaiison, more respectable a nd p o wer. ful than all' tile other ranks of the State, if they could be united against it. The great mass of the lower orders, together with all the idle and pro fligate, half civil and half military loungers of the metropolis, would be prompt to rush upon any revolutionary enterprize, to which the opinions and the wishes of the middle ranks of society might point the way. This we believe to be the true situation of the French Monarchy, or rather to be a faint outline of the dangers by which it is beset ;—the obvious policy of the King was, iherefere, to pursue a calm, steady, and consistent policy ; to gain time upon jealousy and preju dice; to confer upon Erance the blessings of a Mild and equtil - administration of law, and to avoid any conduct, either in foreign or domestic affairs, by which suspicion, or even discussion, could be awakened.—The infatuation displayed in the conduct of the French Government is as surprising, as its effects, if persistejl in, will be disastrous. The King has sur rounded himself with advisers as hateful to the political sentiments, as they are repugnant to the private interests of the most powerful and valuable part of his subjects • not content with this, he has suffered them to lead him into an enterprise, of an atrocity so undisguised as to revolt the mind of every man who reflects upon it for a moment ; and which is moreover well COURT OP ALDERMEN.—Yesterday the LORD MAYOIt held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, which was-very fully attended.—The Thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Bishop of Bristol and the Rev.

ALARM OP FIRE OIYEN BY A MONKEY.—About one o'clock:yesterday morning, the inmates of a house in Hatton -court, Holborn, had a very narrow escape' from being burnt to death by a firt., which broke out in the front parlour, occu pied by some Italians, who go about the streets with dancing monkeys. Six or seven persons slept in the same .room, and the monkey was chained to one of tilt bed posts ; on their going to bed, one of the women hung some linen to dry on the back of two chars to the ; the linen by some means caugit fire, anti together with the chairs and nearly the whole of the bed cli)thes wore burnt, when the dread • ful cries of the monkey, and his endeavours to pull his master out of bed, at length awoke him to his perilous condition ; all the inmates got up, and assisted in extinguishing the fire, which was dime by a feiv dozen pails, of water; the floor, chimney-piece, and furniture were nearly de stroyed, together with most of their wearing apparel ; and some of those who slept in the room were dreadfully ill s being nearly suffocated.

These Sessions commenced yesterday, at the Session.liouse, Clerkenwell, before FItANCIB CONST, Esq. and a full Bench of Magistrates. THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF SAMUEL PLANK, JOHN WHALE, GEO. JEFFERIES, WM. )lEDBURY, AND DANIEL LACK, TY: WILLIAM EDWARDS. This was an indictment against the defendant for perjury, alleged to have been committed in a trial in the Court of King's Bench, before the Lord Chief Justice, in which the present Prosecutors were Defendants, and the Defend ant's mother Plaintiff, arising out of the following circum stances :—On the 3d of November, 1321, the prosecutors Plank and Whale, officers belonging to Marlborough-street Police-office, proceeded, under a search warrant granted to Daniel Lack, to. the house of Catherine Edwards, who keeps a marine shop in Shepherd's-market, for the purpose of searching for some iron bolts, timber, &c., suspected to have been conceal ed there, the property of Mr., ood, a master-bilder. During the execution of the warrant a'scuffie took place, in consequence of the violent resistance of Mrs. Edwards, in preventing the of examining a small box, which was afterwards found to con tain a quantity of fire-works, and Plank found it necessary to call in Medbury, a constable, to take her into custody, and.in dicted her at the Westminster Sessions for an assault, when she was convicted, and sent to Tothilfields Prison. Some time after wards she brought an action in the Court of King's Bench against the present prosecutors, and received a verdict of 40s. and costs, the Lord Chief Justice having decided that the officers had no right to seize upon the box of fi re-works. The defendant, Wm. Edwards, on that occasion, was one of the principal witnesses, and swore that Plank had struck his mother, Catharine Ed wards, a violent blow, and threatened to cut her arm off with a chopper, which he held in his hand, and that he otherwise abused and assaulted her; he also swore that Whale had like wise assaulted anti ill-used her. Mr. ADOLPIIUS conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. CURWOOD for site defence. _ _ Henry Wingfield was present at the trial which took place at the Court of King's Bench, and took notes on the occasion ; was positive that the defendant then swore that Plank had struck Mrs. Edwards and otherwise abused her, by pushing her down some steps, and making use of very insulting language. Samuel Plank, on the 3d of November, 1821, went in com pany with Whale under a search-warrant to the house of Mrs. Edwards ; she seemed at the time to be melting pewter pots on a frying-pan ; suspected something Was concealed in a small box which lay in the room, and was proceeding to exa mine it, but met with great 'resistance and abuse from Mrs. Edwards : did not on that occasion strike or threaten to strike her, nor make use of any improper or insulting language ; was forced, in consequence of being assaulted by Mrs. E., to call in a constable and give her in,custody ; did not ptish her down the steps, but helped to put her shawl over her shoulders ; was quite calm on the occasion ; took up the chopper for the purpose of breaking open the box, but not fig any other motive. Whale the oflicer, corroborated the testimony of this witness. DanieeLack, foreman to Mr. Wood, went on the day in ques tion with Plank and Whale ; was positive that no blow or ill treatment was offered to Mrs. Edwards by them, but, on the contrary they treated her kindly. Medbury, a constable, was called in by Plank ; saw Mrs. Edwards collar Plank•and push him against some bottles, upon which he took her into custody. Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, proved that when Mrs. Edwards was brought before him for the assault on Plank, there was no mention whatever made of any ill-treatinent being offered to her, nor did he perceive any mark of violence whatever on her person. The case here closed for the prosecution. Catherine Edwards, for the defence, recollected the 3d of November, 1821 ; Plank, in company with the other prose cutors, was at her house on that day and commenced a search, and on refusing to let him take the box, he struck her on the back, and threatened to cut her arm off with a chopper ; and on asking him if he had a warrant, he said yes, I have, and to murder you, if I please, you old b—(a laugh ;) did not strike any of the officers; on going down the steps of my house, Plank gave her a blow, and said, I will dress you--you b—.

A great number of persons were called to speak to the good character of the prisoner, after which the Chairman summed up the evidence ' the Foreman of the Jury wished to know from the Court if Air. Dyer mii.;ht be permttted to speak to the character of the prosecutors. The Court permitted it, as the Counsel made no objection, though it was not the usual practice. The worthy Magistrate then said, that no men could be more correct in tilling the situations in which they were placed than the prosecutors. Verdict—. Guilty. SPRING ASSIZES. KINGSTON, AVRIL 4. SCARSON V. CARTER. This was an action of trespass and false imprisonment, on a charge of felony. The case for the plaintiff was . this :—The plaintiff; a widow woman, worked for the defendant, a stay-manufacturer in, Blackfriar's-road. In the spring of last year, the plaintiff had sold three pair of stays to a retail dealer named St one , o f Fleet market. Shorly afterwards the defendant called upon Mr. Stone for orders, the latter being in the habit of dealing with the defendant, but Mr. Stone declined giving any fur ther orders, alleging, as a reason, that ha could purchase goods at a much cheaper rate from other persons than from him. This intimation caused an inquiry into the foundation for the statement, and Mr. Stone produced ;three pairs of stays which he had purchased of the plaintiff. These the de fendant named as his property, and alleged they were made of his own materials. The plaintiff' was sent for • she came to theahop ; Mr. Stone said sh e was t h e person of whom he had bought the stays; the defendant taxed her with robbing him ; she denied it, and the defendant detained her in cus tody while Mr. Stone and Miss Pyne, the defend an t' s j our . neywoman, went to search her lodgings; but nothing was found to excite suspicion. Nevertheless, she was delivered into . custody of a constable, and carried to a watch-house. Whilst _in-Custody, she delivered up her keys, and the defendant, in company with the watchhouse-keeper, went to the plaintiff's lodgings to make further search. In the plaintiff's drawers 96 pair of stays were found, which the defendant claimed as his property. Ile then caused her to be taken before a Magistrate, and having sworn positively to the three pairs of stays above mentioned, the Magistrate committed her for trial at the ses sions. The plaintiff remained in llorsemonger-lane gaol for 6 weeks, until the sessions, when the Grand Jury ignored the bill of indictment which was then preferred. by the defendant. In consequence of this proceeding, the plaintiff commenced the present action. Two of the plaintiff's daughters swore posi tively that the plaintiff ad beBn - a woman who had seen better days ; that from her earnings she had saved money and manu factured stays, with an intention of setting up business. for her. self in the country ; and that the stays sold to Mr. Stone, as well as those found in the plaintiff's drawers, were manufactur ed by herself, from materials purchased with her own money. ,It was proved byone of the daughters, that on the day the Grand Jury threw out the bill of indictment preferred by the defendant, the latter said-he would give 100 guineas ifhe could go on with the prosecution. These were the facts upon whi c h the plaintiff's case rested. On the part , of the defendant it was suggested that the de fendant had forborne, from motives of huthanity, to adduce evidence - in his possession, which would have established. the plaintfff"a guilt on the prosecution above-mentioned. Allusion was particularly made to the evidence of Miss Pyne; ' who could have sworn positively to the stays which had been sold by the ftiaintiff to Mr. Stone, as the property of the defendant. h was now proposed to call witnesses to show—first, that all the stays above-mentioned were the property of the defendant; and se. cond, that the plaintiff had. confessed to the defendant that the stayS sold by hoc to Mr. Stone were the property of the de fendant, and had been detained by her in consequence of Miss Pyne's omitting to set them down . in a book containing entries of work delivered to her sons employed out of doors. Miss Pyne and two other workwomen employed by the defendant were called to prove these facts. The confession made was po. sitively sworn to by Miss Pyne ; but as to the identity of the stays found in the prisonei's lodgings, there was considerable doubt, and some contradiction between the witnesses. The Jury found their verdict for the, laintilf—Damages 50 CROWN SIDE. Jane Parrot was indicted for receiving, at Lambeth, the sth of February, banknotes to the amount of 351., the property of Henry Paul lemp, knowing them to have been stolen. It will be recollected that at the last Old Bailey Sessions, an unfortunate young woman, named Mary Ann Slote ,, ivas cap tally convicted of stealing the notes in question from Mr. Kemp, her uncle, of Harp.lane, Tower-street. • On that occasion strong suspicions were _entertained that the ;present prisoner, in whose house, 0, Hooper-street, Lambeth, the unfortunate young woman lived in a state of prostitution, had instigated the robbery.,,lt was now distinctly proved that the prisoner had received the notes in question with knowledge of the manner in which Mary-Ann Slote had possessed herself of the money. The prisoner was proved to be a woman of abandoned character, keeping a bro thel' at the place above-mentioned. The Jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to 14 years' transportation. The awftd sentence of death was then passed upon 17 convicts. CIVIL SIDE, APRIL 8: liowAnn V. CLARE, CLERK.

POLICE bitELLIGENCg. anttfd larnliante Manenonotinsr-STurEf.--11r. CoSTANT, the Magistrate, was yesterday occupied during the greater part of' the Inerthilff in the investigation of an extensive robbery committed in the house of Mr. Giles, jeweller and silversmith, in,St. JaMes's street. There are three persons in custody on suspicion of be mg concerned, whose names are 'Michael Bropley, the father, and Richard and James Broplcy, his two sons. It appeared, by the statement of Mr. Giles, that, on Sunday last, Mrs. Giles and himself went out to spend the evening at the house of a friend ; on their return, .about 10 o'clock, they could not open the door. Mr. Giles immediately suspected something wrong, and had the door forced ; upon examining the apartments it was discovered that the whole of Mr. and Mrs. Giles's wardrobe, together with a large quantity of jewel lery, had been carried off. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner Richard, who has been seine time in the service of Mr. Giles, as porter. Vales, the officer, was employed, . and took him into custody. On searching his lodgings, a piece of wax, having on it the impression of the street door key, was found. It was then thought advisable to apprehend the other two 'prisoners. They have each under. gone separate examinations ; their statements as to time and interviews were very contradictory. A person named Price was also in custody and examined, but was discharged . On inspecting the lock of the street door, a piece of a skeleton key was found to have been broken in it. The three prisoner* were remanded for a future examination. Every article a Mr. Giles's wearing apparel, except what he wore at the time, was taken away. H e estimates his entire loss at between two and three hundred pounds. A young man applied to ;W. CONANT, the Magistrate, for advice how to proceed under the following circumstances:-lie stated that there had been persons in this country for sonic time purchasing race-horses for the use of his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme, and the order,being completed, Saturday last was the day fixed for taking them to Dover, for embarkation. One of the grooms unfortunately lodged in the same house with the applicant, and on Friday night, as the complainant was going to bed, he found a young man who slept with him in such a state of intoxication unit he went down stairs and retiliest ' ed the groom would suffer him to sleep with him for that night, to which he consented. When he awoke in the morning, lie found to his astonishment that his bedfellow had van►shed, and with him the complainant's watch, chain , and seals, value about 101. After much inquiry, he discovered l that Brown set off at day-break that morning for Dover, with some of the horses, and that the embarkation was to take place this evening. He therefore wished to know if the Magistrate could give him any assistance to recover his property ? Mr. CONANT a lea if he could afford the expence of senching a person to Dover ?. The young man said, very badly indeed. 'The worthy Illagis: trate then directed Schofield the officer to go to Bow-street, anal ask if they Would Send down an officer, at the expellee of that establishment? and if not, Oat Schofield himself should! in stantly start for Dover, and, if possible, apprehend the delin quent before he embarked.
