It appeared that on the 23d of July, Chambers went to the shop of Mrs. Steele, Henry-street, and offered her a bill professing to be of the Bank of England for al., to change. She sent out to ascer tain if it was a good bill, and being informed it was, gave Chambers cash for it, he endorsing it," Patrick, 7, Baker-street." On further inquiry it proved to be a forgery. On the Bth of August, the same per son in the same manner cashed another at the White Lion inn, Anne-street. Mrs. Hetherington (the land lady) on the 16th of August sent this bill to Mr. Cope, her wine-merchant, to receive silver for it ; he forwarded it to the Bank of England Branch Bank for inspection, and it was returned as a forgery. This note he also endorsed with the name of Patrick. On inquiry at 7, Baker-street, it was ascertained that he never resided there, and when taken into cus tody a forged Bank bill for .5/. was found in his watch pocket; this he affirmed to be a good note, and de nied all knowledge of the other notes. He was identified by six witnesses as having passed the forged notes, which were marked by the parties when they changed them for him. He was com mitted to take his trial et the next 'Warwick Assizes, It is said that upwards of twenty notes, similarly en dorsed, are in circulation. The plate is well exe cuted, and both notes are dated, 10th April, 1828. To one the signature " C. Tabor" was annexed, and that of " Lester" to the other. BRITISH CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. (Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) Mr. EMUS M‘DoNsmen entered, and was greeted with loud cheers, and cries of " Adjourn to the Hall." The room at this time was excessively, and, indeed, inconveniently crowded, and numbers of per sons were obliged to remain owtside the door and on the stairs. At length an adjournment to the Hall was agreed upon, and for some moments the greatest confusion took place in consequence of the desire which prevailed to get out quickly, in order to secure a good seat. As soon as the Chairman and speakers had taken their seats in the great hull, and order was restored, Mr. H. Hum' rose to address the Meeting; upon which a violent clamour ensued, and it was not without much exertion on the part of the Noble Chairman that silence could be obtained. As soon as he could obtain a hearing, Mr. Hunt proceeded. He trusted that they were not about to renew the late disgraceful scene which took place on Penenden Heath. In a Paper supported by the Catholics he had been most grossly attacked; and he appeared there for the purpose of vindicating his character from the foul and false charge which had been levelled against it, and that of all radical reformers like himself. It had been asserted that he wished to throw obstacles in the evay of Catholic Emanci pation, until Parliamentary Reform should be ob tained ; but such an assertion was a mere fabrica tion ; it was false and malicious, as he had never giVO2ll utterance to any sentiment of the kind in the whole course of his public life. On the contrary, he had always advocated their cause, although at the same time convinced that unqualified unconditional emaweipetion would never be granted without Par liamentary reform having previously taken place. Mr. E. M'DONNELL rose amidst loud cheers. He was satisfied that Mr. Hnnt had entered that room under impressions that the Chairman and the meet ing would be disinclined to show him fair play. If be (Mr. Hunt) had any such conception, it must then be completely removed. The association had no secrets—no under current—nothing to disguise, nothing to keep back, nothing to blush for, and did not shrink from the fullest investigation. Publicity was their only shield, and justice could not in the long run fail to accomplish the object to which their exertions bed boon directed. Dis cussions, however, had been introduced which might perhaps have been avoided without in jury ,to their cause. He did no t w i s h to state his opinion upon F r arliamentary Reform, as it had not been introduced in the requisition which had brought them there. But as it had been brought forward, he begged leave to say that he was no party to the invective pronounced against radical reformers. One word as to unconditional emancipation. He would declare his sentiments on that subject suc cinctly and plainly, in justice to those by whom he had been sent, and whom he represented ; and if they should be dissatisfied with his conduct, they might instantly get rid of him. lie should, however, con sider the Irish Catholics as traitors to their country, and acting dishonourably to themselves, if, after what had taken place, they would consent to receive any concession short of full and unconditional eman cipation. (Cheers.) The Rev. Dr. COLLINS said, in his opinion, e - :nancipation would never be granted without some conditions being annexed.--(Cries of " Then we won't have it.")—lt was not what he wished, but what his experience taught him was likely to be the case. Mr. BLOUNT said, that at that late hour he should not think of trespassing long upon the patience of the Meeting. The Catholics, he thought, never could consent to accept of emancipation on any con ditions that could by any possibility touch upon their religious principles ; but if such a boon as they might honestly accept were offer e d, t h ey wou ld b e wanting in their duty if they refused to accept it.-- (Hear, hear.) The name of Dr. Wade, a Protestant Clergyman, being announced from the chair, Dr. CoLLINS requested that he should be heard hrthe meeting uncovered. Every one , upon t h e suggestion, took off his hat. Dr. WADE proceeded—lf he had consulted pru dence, perhaps he should not have presented him self to the attention of the Meeting, inasmuch as he was a beneficed Clergyman of the Church of Eng land, which he admitted, had strong chums upon his esteem, and her character and learning he felt it his duty to defend. The best support which that church could experience was from her excellent prin ciples, her purity, and her toleration. He bad heard vociferated abroad the cry of " No Popery," " The church in danger," such like, but he could ap prehend no evil whicli could arise from conceding to persons their just claims and undoubted rights to participate in the advantages as well as in the disad vantages of the Constitution under which they lived. (Cheering,) There could be no danger, he considered, :n the Government of this prosperous country being ut the same time just and generous, poising the balance equally between all parties.—(Hear, hear.) —He was not norant of th e errors and cruelties of past ages, butte looked upon t h e present race of Catho lics as a very diflerent race of men, (Hear, hear.) As a minister of the Chu rc h o f E ngland, he might be charged with betraying its interests; but he thought Shut it was the duty of every Clergyman to promote peace and concord am ong a ll hi s fellow, crea tures, as fur as lay in his power. The security of the Chinch would be best maintained by her do ing unto others that which she wished others to do unto her. (Loud and repeated cheering.) M..

A PARODY. 1Y THE LORD MAYOR'S LAUREATE. * 'Twas at the Lord Mayor's Feast, beloved of men, Held at Guildhall, November ten, Aloft in awful state, London's proud monarch sate, Upon his civic throne; His great fat guests were placed - around, Their apoplectic necks with napkins hound, So should all Aldermen be crowned ; The Lady Mayoress by his side, Sate like a blooming Eastern bride, In court costume, and beauty's pride ; Happy, happy, happy, pair, None but yourselves, None but yourselves, None but yourselves, can take the Chair. The Braham, scant of size, (Soon as the cloth was ta'en away) Began the party to surprize, With songs of Joint Stock companies, And Dickson', Vigo Bay; He sang the praise of money, That turns e'en gall to honey, Whose magic powers all classes own, Whose touch can ills assuage, Cau make a fitol of Solomon, Of Winchelsea a sage. The listening guests admire the Hebrew's sound, " A nightingale, by Jove," they shout around, " A nightingale, by Jove," the vaulted roofs rebound ; With langthental ears, Lord Thompson hears, Assumes the King, Affects to sing, And scents to shake the spheres. The praise of Turtle then the Braham sung, Whose sweets are endless as a woman's tongue— The calipash in triumph comes, Lick your fingers, twirl your thumbs, Drenched too in savoury sea, In comes the calipee, Now give your throats fair play, it comes, it comes; Turtle soup and sherry wine, These, oh these, are joys divine; Turtle's tit-bite are a treasure, Turtle is the city's pleasure, Rich the treasure, Sweet the pleasure— Turtle soup is monstrous fine ! Statathed with the sound, the Mayor grew vain, Ate all his (linnets o'er again, 4 4 .nd thrice he turtle tuek'd, and thrice he swigg'd champaigne. The Braham saw the liquor rise, Hie red round cheeks, his glittering eyes, And while he laughed like Cribb or Carter, Made hiss change his tune soon carter ; He chose a mournful muse, Soft pity to infuse, He sang his crony, 3Lr. Trait* A bankrupt in estate, Dunned—dunned—dunned—dunned— Dunned in Milk-street, No. *3, And clapped in the King's Bench. There all unshaved upon the fluor he rolls, His coat worn out, his stockings full of holes, With sone to aid, and none to cheer him, And only two bum-bailiffs near him. Lord Thompson heard and checked the rising grin, Downcast in thought, like a descending rocket, And now and then he stroked his double chin, And now he tapped with dignity his pocket. The musical Israelite, laughed at his grief, So sang a fresh ditty and gave hint relief ; He sang of the pastry-cook's shop in Cornhill, (Which, if I mistake not, is flourishing still), He sang of that virgin's, St. Katharine's'Docks, Of the rise in potatoes, the fall in the Stocks, And the shop in 3loorfields which unusually gay, Tumbled down on a gentleman's head t'otlter day, And gave hint a terrible boad-ache,• they say ; These songs, 'tnid a blessed confusion of tongues, The &elven struck up with miraculous lungs, Till " Sol " from the ocean, reared high his proud head As a sign fur the guests to nicancirr to bed, When some were s, heeled home in a barrow, and others, Like Cameos, the Elf, and his magical brothers, Swore, shouted, and fought with true wizard-like force, And finished the night in the watch-house, of course. " See that delightful publication, " The History of the Lord Mayor's Voyage of Discovery to Oxford." MATRIMONIAL FRAUDS. A Correspondent of the Times writes as follows : " Advertisements for wives have become vcsv common, and I wish your readers to kuow that they are generally fraudulent attempts to raise the wind, and inserted by very low fellows. " I have just heard of a case, where the advertiser described himself to be a gentleman having a per manent situation, &c. The advertiser is in reality a labouring mechanic, earning 30s. per week or less, and directed his letters to be sent to a respectable house, where the house-porter had been engaged to take them in. The man himself had to borrow the money for the advertisement, and received a letter from a lady, stating that she had pro perty, &c., in which she requested Y. Z. to meet her at a stated place and time, with a silk handkerchief in his hand. Poor Y.Y.. with difficulty borrowed the money to buy the handkerchief, and met the lady. Another letter was received from a butcher, desiring to have all the letters after Y.Z. had done with them, judging very justly that Y.X. could not marry more than one woman. One letter Y.Z. re ceived was a trick, and Y.Z. got introduced among a party of fellows, who treated him with such a sa lutation of kicks and hootings, that he was glad to make friend: , with his legs. Several other workmen have • pawning their things to a d vert i se and to rig been gthemselves out as gentlemen." yesterd a y at t h e the Lieuttnaat-Gever- Despatches were received Colonial-offi c e, from Sir G. DON, Ler of Gibraltar. The hopes witich we were led to indulge of his MAJEsry being enabled to visit town, in order to hold a Council and receive the RE(`OItDEIt'S report, are for the present disappointed.

NKWPORT, Ism.: or WirinT.—The Club which has existed in this town ever pint-a the glorious event it was formed to commemorate, held its annual the 4th inst. me,ertiiiteigpaitet2iideeßritu(ghir. H. D. C o l o ) b e i ng preventedlnn. o n T nes ,„l„,, , from attending by a severe Borne is calamity, Mr. Thomas Cooke, jun. was called to the chair. On the cloth being removed, the CHAIRXAN ob served, that their attendance there that day proved that they were all Orangemen —not, indeed, of that degenerate class who use the term as a symbol of every thing that is base just intol erant ; w h o, i f they love liberty a t a ll, love it us the miser loves his gold—they wish to keep it all to themselves. " We," said he, " on the contrary, are the true Orangemen, because we are the sincere admirers of that illustrious Prince whose favennte maxim it was, that con science w as G o d's province, and that it ought not to be interfered with by man.' " He then proposed,, " The Glorious and Immortal Memory of King William III." On rising to propose the second toast, the CHAIR MAN said they were not only Orangemen, but Brunswickers. Toast—" The House of Bronswick." In offerieg another subject to the notice of the company, the CHAIRMAN begged to advert for a few minutes to the events that had occurred since the last meeting. They were then grieving for the loss of Cunning, yet they had hoped, though his sun had gone down at noon, that at least a sufficient portion of borrowed light remained to guide his successors in the glorious path he seemed determined to pursue. These hopes, alas, were fallacious : a set of men spee dily returned to power, of whom it might be said, that if they had not done all the mischief that was feared, it was rather for want of power than from want of inclination. Look for a moment at our foreign policy. Mr. Canning had sent an army to Portugal, if not avowedly, at least in effect, to support• the cause of liberty. That army has been withdrawn, sud Don Miguel has been encouraged—if not bye the Govern ment, by one wh o h e ld, and who still holds, high office under it—to trample on the constitution he had sworn to defend, and to re-establish absolute power ; while our excellent Foreign Secretary—that worthy disciple of Prince Metternich—proclaims, in excuse, that the friends of England are princi pally to be found among the followers of Don Miguel. What a bitter satire on our policy ! We are loved by the oppressor, arid hated by the op pressed. Then, as to Greece, France is suffered to take possession of that fine country, which, it pretty clearly appears, she will Le in uo haste to relinquish ; while Russia, contrary to her express stipulation, is allowed to distress our trade by blockading the Dar danelles. Why is it that we are thus become the laughing stock of Europe ? And that, too, under the administration of a man, whose very name was to carry terror through the world. It was because we were determined to sqttander our resources, and to waste our strength, for the purpose of keeising in subjection 6,000,000 of our fellow-subjects, to whom their just rights are denied, under the pretence that they can give us no security for their allegiance. Security ! What security can a nation give ? It must be gis en by their Governors; it must be ob tained by making them contented and happy : then, and not till then, will you be secure of their cheerful allegiance. We can respect the scruples of those who really fear that the emancipation of the Catholics may prove dangerous to liberty ; but the number of these is few, and daily diminishing. The chief opponents of the measures are the Eldons, the Winchelseas, and the Neweastles,—men, whose whole lives have been spent in the uniform endea vour to stay the progress of improvement —to trample upon, and, if it had been possible, to extinguish the liberties of the country. A government destitute of popular support must rely on the borough-holders, the monopolists of power. This it is that has driven the Duke of Clarence from the Admiralty, and placed in his stead that booing Scotchman, may Lord Melville. If we wish for the character of his Lordship's administration of naval affair', we need only refer to the memoirs of Lord Collingwood that gallant Admiral expressly states that he had ne influence xvhatever in the selection of his officers— that men were sent to him wholly unfit for the ser vice, with no other reeonimendation than Parlia mentary connexion. In short, that in the contest for promotion, " holes in the skin had no chance against votes in Parliament." What, then, is the remedy ? Why, obviously Parliamentary Reform. Toart—" A speedy reform in the Commons House of Parliament." Mr. ABRALIAM CLARKE, on proposing a toast, strongly expressed his disgust at the adoption, on the part of the enemies of the liberties of mankind, of the names and maxims peculiarly belonging to the real friends of freedom. He concluded by giving " Civil and religious liberty all the world over." Mr. Jolts COOKE proposed, as a sentimeut suit able to the present meeting, "Equality of civil rights, the basis of national prosperity." Mr. R. G. KIRKPATRICK, after a few remarks on the duty of coming forward publicly in support of liberal opinions, particularly at a moment when such extraordinary efforts are making to prevent the mea sures of conciliation which are necessary to the peace of Ireland and the welfare of Great Britain, alluded briefly to the manly conduct of Mr. Shell in attend ing the meeting ut Penenden-heath, and proposed his health as an intrepid and enlightened Ir4,liman and liberal Catholic. After a few other characteristic toasts, the cote puny separated at a late hour. A garrison court-martial assembled on Friday, the Slst ult., at Gov:?rninent-house, for the trial of private IleNu Mims, of the 96th depot, for being absent on the night of the t:Sth of October from the hospital at Stoke, when he was steward of that place ; and on various charges relative to hospital accounts. The court adjsdged the prisoner guilty, and se.7ltmced him to receive three hundred lashes, and to be put under stoppages until a deficiency of tit. 19s. 6d. be made good.—Plymouth Journal.

The new United Service Club-house will, it is LOW said, be ready for the reception of the sleuabers in about a fortilight. It i sjust a century ago since the whole town was in an uproar, owing to tLe disputes between two cele brated Italian singers, LA FOSTINA and LA CURZONI. Ladies went so far as to dress thputselves in the colours of these rival syrens, whose petty jealousies, and ridiculous birs of precedence, were' carried to such a height as to render even their talents contemptible. - tiVe regret to state that, since our last publica tion, two more of the sufferers by the late coach accident at Psodleton have died, is consequence of the injuries they received on that occasion—namely, i%liss MITCHFLT, and HOLIMOOKE. Bliss MITCHELL appeared to become sensible for the first time on the Thursday after the acci dent, when she opened her eyes several times. She con tinued to improve a little, in the opinion of her medical at tendants, until Tuesday morning last, when it was thought proper to discontinue the medicine, and to try what effect a little nourishment would have in restoring her. Dur in" Tuesdayevening evening she became sensibly worse, and ex pired about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, at the Woolsack, where sh e h a d rema i ne d f rom the time of th e a ccitient.—RoneaT HOLBROOKE, who was sheen to th e infirmary, as we formerly mentioued, remained in a doubt ful state until Friday, when he became considerably w orse. lle was bled repeatedly during that day; b u t he continued to grow worse, and died about four o'clock en Saturday morning. He was a siik-weaver, and worked on his own account at Maccleefield. Although only 23 year's of age, he has left a widow and two chil dren. His wife carne to Manchester on hearing of the ac cident, and attended him until his death. Oa Saturday an inquest was held on the body of HOLBROOKE, and on Monday the seine ceremony took place over the remains of Miss .11rixrumt.. The evidence and verdict in both cases were the same as those at the Inquest of Rosso's, the coach man. We understand that Miss Thu:infra. only com pleted her 18th year on the 23th of March last.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. A letter, signed " Delta," (an nld correspondentt) in this day's Times, on the state of the silk trade, lays claim to attention for the knowledge of the sub ject shown by the author, and for his temperate and wholesome observations. Among the various inte rests so importunately pressed upon' public feeling whenever a law affecting commerce, whether foreign or domestic, is to be discussed, that interest which ought above all others to govern the policy Of those who make and change the laws very seldom sue (weds in obtainin g a due degree of notice. Front the year 18?4. to th e present time, we have been overwhelmed with communications from these who a partie s " interested" in the silk uniB tra N d l e, th a e nd ti ‘ t ‘ i,e ho of are described by our correspon dent as " importers, throwsters, manufacturers, warehousemen, shopkeepers," &c., wh i le the con sumer, whose comforts ought chiefly (bemuse he constitutes the nation) to he regarded, was kept studiously, and not very respectfully, out of sight. It is on this view of the ease that we have so often felt it necessary to stigmatize the murmurs of such a monopolizing spirit as unworthy of active sympathy from Govern meet, and as unsafe guides to legislation. The Milk-street writer is at us again, and brings , a Parliamentary paper to prove that any argu inent to be derived from the exportation of British silk manufactures must be directed, not in support of Mr. Ifuskisson's system, but in opposition to it. Now %re are quite willing to admit whatever benefit alav be drawn by the m o nopoli s t s f rom t h e Parlia mentary paper, which proves, by the way, that in the year 1827 the increase in the official (is that any fair measure of the real?) value of silk exported over the previous year was 61,000/. ; whereas the greatest diminution—viz., that of the year 1826, immediately following the dreadful commercial panty--way 44,0004 Moreover, to put this gees tion more broadly, we should wish to ask—Sup posing it had been the intention of Government to promote the export of the manufactured article— what step could Lave been taken snore decisive and appropriate than a reduction of the duty on the raw material to almost nothing, as Mr. linskisson ac tually did reduce it front upwards of Ss. per lb. to about 3d. ? And is this diminution in the price of the raw material, in addition to the tax of 50 per cent. on the foreign manufacture, one of the many oppression.t under which the British silk trade la bours in consequence of Mr. Iluskisson's system i We leave the subject in the hands of our corre spondent Delta.—rinw. We copy a letter which appears in both the Herts. Mercury and County Chrmtick, by Lord Verulam, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Hertford, in reply to an application by some name-. less numskull to call a public meeting, and form a Brunswick Club. We shall not here quote any part of the letter, because there is nothing striking in the manner or style, but great propriety in the meaning; and we think that its general import conveys a pretty strong hint to the supposed friends of Government, that they would do well not to be too stirring in affairs of this 'tater; if they mean to consult the interests or satisfy the wishes of the present Administration. Lord Verulam will not cull, nor advise the calling of a Curnberlo-Brunswick meeting, and discomnientl4 Brunswick Clubs altogether; and hi, Lordship not being a man to act independesttly and of his own head, must, from his situation and connexions, have pretty good means of knowing what will be agreeable in certain quarters. Attend to this, ye Cumberlo-Brunswiek squad, that want to please the Duke. Indeed, we do not think, ridicule apart, that any thing can be clearer than that it is the object of the Anti-Catholic Clubs to overawe the Duke of Wellington's Administration, These 13runswickers vveuld .be governed by his Grace so lone. as he will govern in their sense and according to their views ; but now that he appears to swerve a little, they would be Viceroy over him, and direct hint what to do. This insolence they disavow in words, but practise in fact ; for if the Duke of Wellington and his co-administrators be capable of governing the country, why are they to be directed by those most suspicious of all schoolmasters derived from revolutionary France—by clubs ?—lbid. An account of the proceedings of a meeting at Newton Abbott on Wednesday last, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against further uoneessions to the Catholics, will be found in another column.— The Exeter Weekly Tinse', from which we have taken the ageount, observes, " \Ve pledge ourselves that not one out of fifty of those assembled at the Newton meeting was at all acquainted with the Ili"- tory of the Timos when the restraints were deemed expedient; and if the orators knew it, they tock care not to give it correctly, but sought to iufuria'e the passions of their audience by statements which their OWN information must tell them were unjust." Tho same paper states, that " there were not less than fifteen Parsous present." It was very natural that a meeting held under such auspices should dis cuss the question like Sectarians rather than Politi cians. Accordingly we find the Rev. Mi. Lyteicnie of their most admired orators, observing, " One would think, from the speeches of the advocates of this measure, that Ireland was a very distant and separate nation; but I would beg to inform those, gen tletneu, that the Church of _England and Ireland fire one; it is necessary, therefore, that we should lend our firm support to our Protestant brethreu in that part of the Empire, and show them that they are not without friends in England." As it would Lot do, however, that all the speakers should be Parsons, they have always an old %roman or two, whom Isek of brains and abundance of credulity peculiarly lit for exhibition on such occasions. Thus, for instance, a Major Liudon, with great gravity, made the fol lowing statement : " They (the Catholics) say they owe no obedience to the Pope in civil matters (' That's all a Inn'); but it is a glaring fact, that the Priesthood are kept by him iu the most slavish thraldom, which as a matter of course is ex hlr- ttie:l t hsh.l. e r:nee li tuujov , ;e l itw, le,t i rrbariltooi t Ntieee o raydses ets: t erio h sol,e. of,o o eitirsrfoade:orsiialwitolifwylnhfaapi..o,Neoustap whichiahea aware Itiie. s o uteeolinei jfody u taefeh d .dtitri e acw,adt r etktiyhoiTi t te, h arhto.6lht c haa i dteti l e • tht i s ote p honie i 3 r piop i .n, t itrr u .)iioilee a le euti l sesmtts g h athat t aa torn' priesthood Protestant only Nain c n, cl e ,oast) . i:lau, who holds a tare estate in Ireland, and is noted for iu d d s use Lis benevolence, had some Catholics among his servants. These individuals had remained their situation ab out two years, when they came to him, and objected to kuu; ,. of Lis family arrangements, and told hie, that they must quit Lie rvice, heir t said the nobleman, ' he ware to order yon to murder said, i t: , } d le no theirrdi priest disobey ü b l o: L y r ' d i r iLs l:tlypolpleallo' ojeout?:: mt what would you do?"

We do not see why a * very respectable Sicilian vespers might not be got up in this way in Ireland. Sure no good Catholic would incur eternal damnation, rather than oblige his Priest in so small a matter us quitting the throat of his Protestant neighbour—a heretical throat. Now how easy to draw up a list of the Protestants in the different parishes, and assign their parts iu the .!xecution to their flocks. The deuce is in it if six Catholics could not find means of despatching the tine Protestant assigned to them. All this non sense was greedily devoured by the Letting, an d kindly cheered by the Parsons.gbycTyiltrileolenicißev, ales Jones attempted to reason the • matter with his veils, to •Th Catholics ' if.ree A Ttle t une t t b h e il: l: b l t e e e itil i g i e n y g he6ol77 :l7 :llr:rdiiill' Catholic Association on p C o :o f 4 p u l t i l e i tli o N b e o s p r e t r r it e e m d c't p iO e ' r c i l t %' e ' t e i ' t t na te e t usadur determined d m': s i' . tl tls:t, They gi3.ler t IQ l e y want the protection of the our King's troops, sad the King'i Judges, and we shall ktn ioii tilio gayeuidtisrvourto f procure g t x i for
