We copy the following curius Lefler, from Mr. GOLDSMITH . to General 13uosTArAaTE, - from the Auti•Gallican of Sunday. We were not aware that Foreign Governments bid so high a price for bribing English Journals, as is herein stated. -Si 11,---The last time I addressed you WAS through the medium of this Journal, (the dnti-Galliran,) Nov. 7th, 1813. , 1 conceived myself obliged to do so at that time, from your having caused an article to be inserted in the Leipzic Journal, stating your surprise that the Crowe Prince of Swum.: could so far forget his dignity as to sanction the productions which issued from .the brains of a GOLDSMITH, &c. &c. 1 feel myself at present equally called upon to address you.— But I shall here premise that the object of this letter is not to insult the fallen fortunes of a man, who, it not truly great, was certainly once in the opinion of all, truly. formidable. Affliction is guarded by a rampart of sensibility, which no man 'of generous feelings ought to assail. When you rode the whirlwind, and directed the storm, yon were a fair object of hostility ; hut now that your situation is so very different, you are no longer my enemy. Personal animosity I have none, nor had I ever ally towards you ; and I will even now say, what I have said -more than once, that from your hands I received much personal kindness : and if my conduct towards you may weer the op pearance of ingratitude, that conduct must be ex plained and defended on public considerations : neither private feeling, nor-any motives of private interest, ever compelled. toe to act the part I have done.—lndeed, as to the impossibility of the latter motive having influenced my conduct, no person is more competent to speak on that subject, anti in my favour too, than yourself.—The ten ship •licences•which you offered ine in-the spring of 1812, merely to cease writing against you,,would have been a powerful temptation to a man under the influence of personal interest. M. de la Barthe, who was your Agent on that occasion, ktiows the answer Which I returned—au answer which, in the opinion of the world, would make . me appear as is madman, for who in his senses, it may be said, would 'refuse . a bribe of 200,0001. sterling, meetly to•he silent ; but call it madness, or -call it patriotism, (such you know was the fact,) •my hostility to your power was therefore founded on public principles. Another and the strongest proof of the independence of tuy.princi ples is, that though Thy brains (such as they were) contributed in a great degree to your downfall, they have not thereby contributed to ostablish my private fortune in any degree ; if the knowledge of this circumstance be any consolation to you, you have it front thyself. But every man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, knows as well as I do., that this world is nothing more than n dunghill, sprinkled . , it is'true, with rose-water ; but stilt it is a dunghill.—The sun, could he help it, would not deign to shine on it. To the point —n- , The object of this Letter is a justification of my character as an Author, Pe - ceutly attacked" by you, in a most unwarrantable manner. Mr. ‘Vardi!n,. surgeon of the Northum. berland, has lately• published a book ie this city, giving an account of several conversations which he with you, in your passage, and after your arrival at Saint Helena. The hook is much rend. In the coarse of his work, the Doctor relates a conversation which he had with you on the sub- 1 ject of the death of • Captain Wright —you were anxious, it appears, to wipe away any stain on your character, from the idea very generally en tertained of• your having canoed hint to he mur dered. A book compiled by me, was referred to by you, in your justification,—that book is a Re ceuil, or collection, .in seven volumes , of the De crees and otherimperinl acts of your Government. The justification you sought for, was not to be found in my work, namely, to ascertain the pre- • ci.se time of Captain Wright's death ; awl - Mr.-• •Warden says, that you repeatedly and firmly in-• suited that I had intentionally withheld the docie, went, and that that must have been the cause of any doubt remaining as to the truth of your as tion respeet.ittg the time of Capt. ‘Vriglit'e death. Now, Sir, I have to state, in answer to, this se- Hoes charge, that the Monileurs, frotm which I compiled the' work, are still in existence, and are at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Af fairs. From that • office I had , them, and I have seen and examined them, not longer than three days ago, and find that there is nothing men tioned concerning the death of Captain IVright. But still I know that it did appear in the Mani tear, • anti I have even mentioned it in my " Se cret History" of your Cabinet. It was inserted' in that Journal 'about. ; the Month of December, 1805. It runs thus, " The • English Captain Wright, detained prisoner in the Temple, having heard of the disasters which had befallen the Aus trian army at Ulte, has put an end to his exist ence by cutting-his throat with a razor." ' In Mr. :Warden's account it is insinuated that Wright died ' at a much earlier period than is conimonly believ ed, because you yourself are well aware that con, shlerable'suspicion must have' attached to you for . keeping; this men teprisoner, who, from your own account, ,you thought of no great importance — that is from February, 1804, till December 1805. There can be no doubt that Wright died after the affair of Ulm, because every one knows that-the affair of Ulm was alluded! to in the public account of his death. But a question will arise, how does it happen, that as it appeared in the Moniteur, it is not inserted in my Reeeuil P I answer, that it -is very well known, and I myself have stated it several times, that you had two editions ofhloniteurs print ed ; - and - as a proof of - this, I again examined the collection of the Illaniteurs, from which I had made my extracts, to see if I had made any cools- Sion, and. discovered, that the article alluded to was not - to be found. And as a further 'proof that there were two editions of the Moniteur, 1, at the same tithe that I made the Reieuii, exa -mined the edition which I had here, for the mur der of Paint, but could find no account of it, thought 1 ant certain it was to be found in a Mo niteur which I had seen at Pais. Bet who doubts. h e was shOt---and that too by your orders I In deed, what motive could I have had for suppress ins that article tele - cling Captain Wright i You ..f..rther stale, that .my troik, a,reaGy at.inieu to, is lull of errors and atria-stutemenis, and us H proof of it, you mention that Captain Wright's name is spelt by me night. Now, the fact is, that the name is thus mis-spelt in the Moniteur, when giving an account of his capture and his examination on the trial of Moreau ;—but in the Index to the Reeeuil I have given the name spelt Troth ways. You mention also, as another proof of my inaccuracy, that I gave an iocortect ageonnt of the battle of Marengo : but here is a trifling oversight on your part—lt was do part of my plan, in making the compilation, to give an ac... count of any of your battles,. and therefore the battle of Alttretigo is not: mentioned at all. I shall not push This matter any_ further, and that for reasons atready . tnentioned.--natnely, that I do nut wage war with adversity. Were I to proceed farther, it might be said that I was endeavouring to establish a charge of murder against you--a charge, by the bye, nor a maiden one—but political murders are venial in the eyes of most Continental Statesmen. You, yourself, have often said, that " qu' an homme d'Etat de vait porter son cur dans sa tete." (A statesman should carry his heart hi his head.) Modern Statesmen reconcile themselves to murder, front the idea that death puts an end to all trouble—it does indeed ; SENECA says, " Mors Omniora ma lorum est . solutio, et finis ultra quarts mala rostra 110T1 exeunt, The in illam tramptilitatem in qua ante quam naseeremus *ttimus reponit. (Death is the end and dissolution of' all afflic tions, beyond which our misfortunes do not ex tend, which replaces us in that state 0. tranquillity in which we lay before we were horn.) One or two observations by'why of conclusion. Mr. Warden says, dint you are about to publish the annals of your reign. I hope his account is correct ; you will render the wortsl an important service if you execute the task faithfully, and lay aside all the legerdemain and mystification which formed the basis of your Government : the most impot taut service you can render the world at pre , sent is, to hold up to universal execration those Ministers of the Continental Courts who were your spies and your accomplices. It may be said, that your testimotsy is' not to be 'relied on ; 'but wherever I find you adhere to truth,lts far as my information extends, my evidence will,he given in support of your's, and my information is nearly as extensive as your own, having obtained it in the course of the. various missions with which you en trusted me to the different Courts of Europe.— This will.be one of the anomalies of the present tunes. You can do yourself no harm by making such re velations, and you may do much good. Providence has terminated your political career; though I do, not mean to infer that the,Government of Louis' XVIII. and Pere Pim: is likely to We durable. Frenchmen, it is true, are' fond of caricatures, .but that is when they are exposed in Martinet's .svin dour, In tbefiac St. Honorer, but not when they - are exhibited- on the Carousel.—Rnowing that my Journal reaches you, I shall very shortly have oc casion to address you again. I remain, General, yours, &c, &a. LEWIS GGLDSMITH.• P.S. If you should please to answer this letter, f shall give it every publicity, provided you ad dress it to me open, through the Secretary of State's Office. DEATH O' EARL STANHOPE. Died,st his seat at Chevening, in Kent, on Sunday . night, CtrAut.ss STAN:lion, Earl STAN-, HoPe. His Lordship wits born August 3, 175.3 ; succeeded father Philip, the late.Earl,Arch 7, I 7 S 6 ; and married, in December, 1774, Hes ter Pitt, eldest daughter of William, the first Earl of Chatham, sister. of the present Earl and of the late Right Hon. William Pitt, .by whom be bad issue, Rester Lucy-Griselda, married to John Ticks 11, usq. of liambledOn, Hants ; and Lucy. Rachael, married 'to Thomas „Taylor, Esq. of i! Sedy,eir atkl, Kent, since dead, Ills Lordship married, 'secondly, in 1791,• Louisa,. only•ilangb ter of Henry Grenviile, Esq. late Governor of Barba does, and uncle to George, first lartinis of Buckingham ; by whom he had • issue, Philip Henry, Viscount.. Mahon, now Earl Stanhope, and two other sans. In his Lordship the Arts and Sciences have lost- an' ardent friend and pa• turn ; .att4l to him they are indebted for many in eelliOUS improvements and discoveries. Though very eccentric in his character, his loss will, on on. many RCCOIIIitS, make a chasm in public life which will not be easily supplied.. The great and useful work for which he was peculiarly ed, and to which be had for a long time applied the most earnest attention, will, we fear, now fall to the ground : we allude to a Digest of all the Statues—a work of such stopeudons labour as well'as information, that few persons can be ex-, peered to set about- it with vigour, Irides's, like Lord Stanhope, they had.acquired a sort of pa ternal fondness for the subject, by brooding over it for years.. Owing to the high westerly trim!, and being a neap-tide, high-water, expected at London bridge at n quarter before ten on Sunday, did not take place at all, and none of the Scotch ves• ids in the river could sail, there not being water sufficient to float them. A Duel was to stave taken place on Saturday se'unight between two Farmers residing in a pa rist► between Crieff and Perth, which the Fiscal being apprized of, he sent three Mayor Officers to 'apprehend the parties concerned, which of course put a stop to it; they ',vete bound over to keep the peace. I'AXECUTION.—On Wednesday J o hn Bl oc k, cpn.. victed oe highway robbery, was executo:, put 'mutt to his sentence, at the west end of the Tol- booth, Edinburgh. A new' executioner officiated, assisted and instructed by the Glasgow executioner. A more than ordinary concourse of spectators tended, notwithstanding a fall of snow which came on at the time.

PULLANrHIICIPLIC PtIRSZJIT 'OF I.T'.s.TSON. Yesterday Mr. WONTNra, the City Marshal, returned to town by the Worcester mail, alter a fruitless and arduous journey to several principal C i ities - and towns, and lastly into. Wales, in quest -of the fugitive 1 - 1 7 nison. We have no doubt that Mr; Wow'Nan %vas on a wrong scent ; but we will relate the several occurrences which led to the suspicion of the - individual being IVarson, leave.it to the public to draw their own conclu sions on the subject. At the public-house called the Chequers, at Tewkesbury, Mr. IVontner learnt, - that a person, answering closely to the descriptkon of the fugi tive, came there on the 60 instant, requesting to , know if he could have a bed : he sat down AIM had a pint of ale. As every stranger coining Out way since -the - riots has been examined with to suspicious eye, the daughters of the house, on surveying the person in question, thought they observed something singular in his eon duet : lie looked at them sideways, and al ways appeared to endeavour to prevent a full view of his face. There being no bed disen gaged, the person was recommended to she . Farmer's Arms, where he was told he could have a bed for the night. There the traveller at down with an intent to sleep. A resident in the town happened to be present, and ..made particular ob. serrations on the manner of the person, which in duced him to change his seat to two different parts of the room within a short period, always endea vouring to keep hisrleft cheek towards his oh-, server. — At leugth the tiaveller became so uneasy at the remarks wade upon him, that he gave up, his intention of Stopping all night, !lasi ity ate somo bread and cheese front his pneket, and abruptly left the house. As he departed he inquired the road to Bristol, and pursued that direction. Its the course of an hour and a half, however, the same person . was seen the Old Bear, the last public-house in the town, on the road to WON cester. At this place he engaged a lied, paying for the same over night together with some re freshments, in order, that he might depart early in the morning. This he did not do, but stopped breakfast, for; the payment of which he tendered a 11. note'to change, which the woman objected to tlo, muter the impression that it was front the Bank of Birminghpm, and did not pass currently at Tewkesbury. The traveller tindertook to send the amount by the coach from the Hen and Chickens, at Birmingham, whither lie said he was going, and could have the- note changed. He took the road to Birmingirkini ; brit it is considered worthy of remark, that before he went to lied Over night, he imptired there were not. more ways out of the house than one, which induced the landlady to suspect him for an improper cha. racter. Before he left Le inquired for u news paper, and one of an old date being offered hint, he seemed disappointed, and said he wanted .to see the latest details of tholistnrhances in Loudon. All 1119 parties at the different houses where the man stopped concur in the fact of his dress, and air to a mole or mark on his face, and also state that , he was in a tritling . degree pitted with the small-pox. At at little village about four miles on the Wor• iteSter.rnad, elm same person was observed to pass through very much splashed and what'inade the person remark hint was, he thought it strange tliat a person of apparent respectability should choose tO Walk, when coaches on the road were to plentiful. " At Severnetoke the traveller calleti at a public-house, and had a pint of mule. At a pottionse two miles trom Worcester lie appeared to , Abe inclined to stop, hut wits supposed to be prevented flout a number of persons being there drinking, amongst whom he did not wish to From this !Attie the person moved onwards to Worcester, and was betud of there at the rhea stint I nu , inquiring for 8 bed, but there WAS none to be had, except one in the garret, which the landlady says she did not offer, us she considered the person too respectable to accept of it. Un the Sunday morning tt►e sante person as here describ ed was observed on the bridge at Worcester, looking at the vessels' lying there t ,but all trace of him after that period was entirely lost. Twn Bovy-streit officers 'remain in that neighbourhood prosecuting their inquiries. _ _ The LORD MAYOH ints received a number of letters on the subject, most ' of which have been evidently written in ridicule of the expect atimi of a discovery. In one it is stated' that young Wat• sow is happy in health and spirits, among friends united and true, at Kilbeggan near Moine, \Vest• math, Ireland, at which spot, it' any of his Lord. s'hip's emissaries should be inclined to visit, they would be properly received, and treated with marks for their, faith or presumption, by persons who ad mired his Lordship's conduct when it was ,direct ed to prevent the oppression of individuals as in the 51. note transaction. Another of the letters says, "Why not search Mr. !hues Premises, both in town and country ? No other person could conceal him." In a third letter it was stated, that the writer bad heard from t friend„ . who had it from exed- , lent authority, who received theinforniation from a' Noble Lord, that 'Watson was either at Barnet or somewhere else ; that wherever he was, he wrla . an infernal villain, and the writer hoped his bead would be taken from his body. Thi s connmin k cation was' full of professions of sincerity, and ended in expressing a convi c ti on th at justice would overtake the villain. In x fourth letter notice was girem of a plot likely to prove worse than the euopovvder plot, and that it was hatching at a public•house in the west'end of the toy, n. The LORD AlAvail is every moment receiving things of this idle description ; but there were, its the course of yesterday, sevei ttl persOnal commu nications matte to him, which he considered worthy or attention. We are given to understand that Dyall, whose Ante appears under the bead of second Secretary u fhe Spa-fields Connnittee, has not been found o be in any wanner c+►nerrued in the lute dis urbantes; that he lent his name to the members under the impression that he would have been subject to no. imputation from appearing anxious for Reform, and that he was not aware that tiny violence was eintternplated. This Dyall, it is said, is the person - who at the Westminster ele c . tiou appeared es the green coated orator.
