" MY LORD,---All the letters which I receive from Paris, speak of your kind sentiments towards inc. From all sides I • learn, that upon every occasion yOu freely and itilequivocally . .do justice to my admiration. My gratitude leads ate, at this `moment, to exceed the boundaries of the usual expression of it. I resolved to send you some lines of acknowledgtuent, and /to make you acquainted With some of the secret caases of the hatred of my enemies, and, if possible, to add something to ,the Sentiments of your respect and the ilitvtest which you have testified towards me. ' I coo.t. not i 1 Coale to I COddthion ; my soul felt itself impelled to lay itself wholly upen to you. I have written a hook to you ; may you receive it with kind l?ess, and read it with indulgence. At atm; her time 1 shall : . examine the law of condrinuation that has been published, as melt as the inteitlioakq indite ing nee in it without veitturing to pronounce my nadir. oile' niu:t lie wholly blind to hope that the King, who in the must so:rein and inviolable man ner suffered an exception to he extended to me, would not be ! • ,incensed if iiii ordinance were laid before him to sign, in i. ..l i svhiell my name was included amongst the number of the ha : Mailed, by virtue of a law which lia§ not teemed me. I eau not pussibl) imincile the King's letter, in which be calls me to the \ ' , inistry of the Police, in which hue names . Me his Mi— ',lister et Dresden, with an ordinance of instdshment signed ity the saute hand. PoNterity would ask the cause of this strange contradiction : it .could not willingly suppose that the motives which did not hinder the King from receiving me into his Ctuneil: and into his entire confidence, at the mo ment of danger, had removed me from it, and banished me from my country, when the danger was believed to be re moved, Who could build upon the sacredness of the Royal Word, if the Chambers had the right to abrogate and itnnilii• late the effects of it ? Who would believe in the Constitu . thin, if the Chambers had the right to exclude one of tileir Members, and to judge him even without pronouncing his name?

It . may not be uninteresting to communicate some particulars respecting the large mortar which has lately been erected in St. James's Pork, as a trophy of the success of the British arms in Spain. At the' blockade of Cadiz,- the French were pre vented by the' British and Spanish • lines from op r prooching nearer than three miles to the city, and consequently could not reach it with their gnus, on which they founded this immense piece of ordnance, and by this means actually threw some loaded she!ls Into the centre of the town. These itttem„pts were, however, put an end to by the victory of Salamanca. Souk then found it ne cessary to decamp from before C,,diz; but was obliged to leave ,behind hiin the large mort ar , which would hove enettmlicred his march. It of course fell into, the hands of, - the Sponish Cortez, who very handsomely made a present of it to the Prince 'Regent: The situation in which it is placed luis 'been well chosen, and there is a Classical taste displayed in the construction of the carriage, Cadiz (formedy Garks) was in the fabulous ages the residence ot Gerynu, a triple bodied or triple headed tooosfer; He is ityled l CY ,Tergeminus Geryoties and his figure is variously deseribea, according to the fancy ot the poets: all, however, agree in the fart that Hercules dashed out ' his btuins. Prom this transaction Gcryon became the 'emblem of Coliz, and the mortar is with propriety placed on his hack. The figtire is well executed in bronze, one head is formed like a terrific Griffin, and the two others like wild dogs. Thii.mouster is also to be con sidered as the prototype of the G Chia, who ittib subdued by he English Hercules. SHOCKING MURDER. R NT(Am, Sonday Evening.-- Th is morning, about eight o'clock, the body of a tarter, named was found lying murdered at . his own house, at a stithil village c a ll e d Farnham H ole near Farnham town. The deceased Was know!) to have possessed some money ; and haviutt ifved in an almost retired state, it is supposed that he was attacked by sonic villains, whose object, no doubt, was plunder. The country . in consequence, for many miles round, has been roused into the utmost state of alarm, and .ev'ery exertion is mak ing by the Magistrates, officers, and inhabitants of the neiehOurhood, to discover the perpetra, tors. Stvetal of the - officers "of Bow-sneer, Union-hall, and the Town.hall in the lliaough, engaged itt Ciiitildford upon assize business, have been' upon the niert, and there is little chance of the offenders' eseap:ng.
