PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. uch on Lnc dis Ibev , ived lake the isert pie eeca tter' 3 to OW, 111" our I i►t for a:“ 1 ['he )tel r of lou; L.Ol Ve Pa- ere, tier by' e of city► PARIS, DEC. 25.—The nomination of the tunes Ministers without portfolios gives rise to er;dies discussions, hopes, doubts, and fears, a c cording to the parties. The Royalists see in it the reso lution of his MAJESTY to crush the Liberals; and the Liberals regard it also as open war 'declared against them ; for they do not Clink M. LAINE and . M. VILLELF'• persons likely to 'act subordi nate parts to the present Ministers, and that their nomination is only a step to the dismissal Of the others ; and, as the new men have already expressed their opinion on national and church property; the great mass of the new proprietors have taken the alarm. To quiet this, his MA JESTY will grant a large sum •in. mites to the migrants; but will the latter be ,satisfied with it? Will they.not rather look on it as a recogni:- tion of their rights, and merely a payment on account' There is a means of preventing this, which no doubt his M.JESTY will foresee ; it is to require a written official declaration of every Emigrtnt receiving a pension, that he thereby renounces all claims on the State or individuals on any account whatever. Such a proposal, we are aware, will be resisted by many, even of those who support the measure of allowance; but it must be considered that the public mind is far from tranquil, and that if any measures are adopted to increase that anxiety, it only wants a spark to produce combustion ; for it must not be disguised that the Ultras detest the Charter—we bad almost said the author of it ; while, on the other hand, the great mass of the nation are re solved to maintain it, 11,1(, only out of respect and duty to the MoNAacn, but as it is the great se curity for their liberties and property. We hope the wisdom and known constitutional principles of his MAJESTY, who regards the Charter as the brightest gem in his Crown, and his best title in the eyes of posterity, will conciliate matters, and by espousing the cause of the nation against the factious of all parties, triumph over every ob stacle.—Would it'be believed that Austria, in dependent of her marching troops on Naples, has invited Turkey to join her, and, as a recom pence, she offers to procure her the possession of the Greek Islands and Malta, as well as to de • • stroy ALI PACIIA.

About a thousand persons were present. The band was as complete as London could produce, and was ably led by LOVER. The vocal per formers, were, Mrs. ASHE, Mrs. SALMON, Miss ASHE, VAUGHAN, the KNYVETTS, and Mr. ROLLE., But the. chief magnet of the evening, in addition to its other great musical attractions, arose from the expectation of MARA, once the unrivalled Sovereign of vocal excellence in this country. She was received with such warm and universal acclamations as were never heard before in These Rooms. The kindness of .her motive in coming forward to assist a respectable Musi cian and his numerous family, would have atoned for any failure, but her performance required no such plea. She sung " What, though 1 trace," &c. with that fine taste and noble simplicity which characterised her best days, and the au dience testified their feelings . by the loudest ap plause.

DEAR Surt—To the subject of our interview of yesterday I have endeavoured to give every due consideration, and regret exceedingly to state that I cannot feel Warranted in acceding to the wishes of the Requisitionists. I remain, dear Sir, with great respect, Your most obedient Servant, (Signed) IVM. CLARK, Sheriff. To Sir Chas. M. L. Munch, Bart. Be{say Castle. Belsay, Dec. 21, 1820. DEAR Stn—l am surprised and disappointed at your refusal - of a County * Kleeting to the Requisition which I had the ho n Our of putting into your hands yesterday; and being left by your letter uninformed of the grounefs of your refusal, I feel it my duty to those who charged me with the application, to request that you will make me acquainted with that ground. If the purposes. of the Requisition are deemed'hy you uncon- . stitutional, 11:en the point is at issue between you and ui (the Requisionists): if the manner of the Requisition only has been deemed exceptionable, I have no doubt that the same Gerpleint;n would authorise me to make a second application to you upon any other form which would admit the same pro positions. I have the honour to remain, dear Sir, Your very humble Servant, To W. Clark, Esq. Benton House. CHAS. MONCK. Banton House, 22t1 Dec. 1820. DEAR SIR—I have this moment received your letter of yes terday's date, requesting, iu the name of the Requisitionists, to be " made acqiiainted with the ground," &c.c.&c. on which I declined calling a County Meeting. In rcpiy (though entertaining the highest respect for the private worth of a very large proportion of the Noblemen and Gentlemen whose names the Requisition bears,) I cannot con sider myself bound. either to answer tht , interrogations that are put to me, or explain the reasons which influence me in the discharge of my public duties. Our sentireuts on this occasiim being so unhappily at vari ance, I fear we shall always be at issue on the points to whip() you allude ; .1 must, therefore, beg you to consider my answerA , to the 'Requisition through you as final. I remain, dear Sir, very respectfully, Your must obedient servant, WM. CLARK, Sheriff. To Sir Charles Mona, Bart. Belsay Castle. Committed to York Castle, Mark Fletcher, for a most cruel and violent assault on a poor black man, in a public-house, at Bradford, who obtain ed a living by selling nuts ; the unfortunate black mas knocked down by Fletcher, who shamefully and pusillanimously jumped upon him with his knees while in that defenceless situation, until blood came out of his mouth ; all his ribs ex cept one are broken, and very faint hopes are en tertained of his recovery. Fletcher is one of the men who were tried last Spring Assizes at York, for the murder of a woma,n, by throwing her into a pit, at \Visbey. SHOCKING S ACCIDENT.—An Inquest was held at Gate Burton, Lincolnshire, the 14th inst., by Mr. BUNYAN, Coroner, on the body of Christopher Dixon, aged 42, whose parents live at Martin.— '1 he poor fellow had incautiously mounted a horse belonging to Mr. Scott, of Gate Burton, without that Gentleman's knowledge, , and was instantly thrown off, and dragged by the stirrup to Martin, a distance off' half a mile, the horse being at full gallop, kicking and plunging the - whole of the . way. Re was seen by several persons, but without any pos sibility of rendering bins assistance. His body was literally dashed to pieces, scarcely a whole bone being left, and the whole of his clothes were stripped oil' except the shirt wristbands! Mr. Scott, previously to the de cision of the Jury, ordered the horse to be kill ed, which has since been done ; the animal was known to be vicious. Mr. Scott humanely paid the expenses of the funeral, the parents of the poor boy being in indigent circumstances—Ver dict—" Accidentally killed."

Witb that view we are induced to offer to our Readers the following concise account of this Museum, which was bequeathed to the University of Cambridge by the late Lord 7 Viscount Fitzwilliam, formerly of Trinity Hall.— His Lordship's will (dated August 16, 1615) devises the whole of this valuable collection to the University, fur thepurpose of forming a Museum; together with 100,0001. Stock it) the South Sea Annuities, for the erection of a building for its reception, and for the maintenance of the proper officers to superintend the establishment. Lord Fitzwilliam died in 1816, and this magnificent bequest was, in due time, rembred to Cambridge. It is intended to erect an elegant- and commodious struc ture within the precincts of the University, as a Repository for these rarities, as soon as the situation shall be chosen, and. the other necessary arrangements completed. In the mean time, the Free School, in Free School lane, near Benet Col lege, has been prepared for their temporary reception; in conformity with the instructions expressed in the This building is conveniently and handsomely fitted up for the purpose.

The battle between Moss, the gypsey, and Bill Edwards, the Bath butcher, took place on Wednesday f - rr 670 guineas, on Ham Heath, four miles from Haslemcre, Bucks. Both had milled their way into notice. Edwards was consi dered an elegant rather than a powerful boxer. The Gypsey„ on the contrary, had proved himself a ruffian who would'not he denied. A ring of IS fret was the space for comlnit, and the men entered it very swell upon themselves. Richard,, the cricketer, seconded Edwards, and one of the gypsey tribe seconded Moss. Betting even. ru the first round Edwards uncorked his adversary's claret, which flew about copiously, and Moss, in boring in, was floor. ed by a right-handed teazer in the body, which settled first blued and the knock down. 2. The men got more steady at their work, and a very gal laht round was fought, after exchanging counter hits at the head. In rallying much ruffianism took place on the part of the gypsey, who displayed much of the Randal tactics. Ed wards at length stopped Isis adversary's action, by getting his head under the left arm and weaving at it until he paid hint Irish and tie at the bleeding game. The Gypsey got away, and both broke their ground for a fresh turn loose. The Gypsey placed a heavy hit on Eoward's tight side, which did not seem to relisk, and bored him down, but both were weak from the exertions of the round, which was all fight fur seven minutes. 3. Muss was blind of the right eye, and the lance was ap plied, but it was a hugging round, and both fell. 4. Edwards fought with Much gaiety and seience to get at his opponent's left rye, but he would not have it. Edwards had the best of in and not fighting, and dropped Moss fur ward by a neat hit in the wind. • 5.

This round ended the fight in nineteen minutes. Moss was the worst. heat ; but ; Edwards evidently wanted mirage, or he could not have lost it. Moss won the battle by a slight blow, with which his adversary went down, and would not appear in time. . . . _ . . A second battle was fought for a purse of five guineas, be tween a 9 stone Jew and a 12 stone Countryman, which was won by the Jew in seven minutes. In the first round the Countryman deliberately walked away. to wipe the blood off his title, and in the third he eat•e in. Mr. M'NANIARA. arrived at the York Hotel, in this town on Friday last, the day after the outrage on Mr. WALLACE, in. Dublin. He left the Hotel the-following day, about three o'clock in the af ternoon. We observed the Chief Peace Officer, Mr. Farrell, in town at the same time.—( West meath Journal.) Mr. John Olive, for whose apprehension, under charges of felony and' forgery to a very consider able amount, a reward of 100 guineas was ad vertised, was taken, on board a Pill skiff, near Penarth Point, in the Bristol Channel, on the 12th inst. He had been cruising about in this vessel for a week, waiting the arrival of a ship from Bristol, in which a passage was engaged for him to the West Indies. This plan, however, did not escape the vigilance of Tucker, one of our police officers, who pursued him in another skiff, and came up with his object with out exciting the smallest alarm. When taken into custody, Olive was ip so weak a state that it was deemed advisable to remain a day with him at Lamplighter's-hall, where he was landed, as the boatmen could not bring him further up the River, from want of water ; and here, having artfully contrived to secret a razor under the bed-clothes, he made a second attempt upon his life in the night by cutting his throat. In this effort he was too successful ; for though it was instantly discovered by an attendant who slept with him, and surgical assistance was imme diately procured, he lincrered for a week, and (lied on Thursday last.—The Coroner's Inquest on view of the body, was held on Saturday— .

OUTRAGE.—On Wednesday even ing a party of bricklayer's labourers repaired from Caemel-buildings, Portman-square, to Fitzroy Market, armed With sticks, and joined another party, who were at a public house. After having drunk some liquor a quarrel arose, which ended in a desperate con flict between the parties, when a number of them were severely beaten and carried away insensible. The utmost confusion prevailed until the arrival of the officers, *hose inter ference quelled the riot, and some of the offend ers were taker in custody to Marlborough-street Police-office, where they underwent an examina tion. Seven or eight of the wounded men were carried to Middlesex Hospital for assistance. One man had his arm broken, and his head se.. verely hurt, and lies in a dangerous situation at the Hospital.—The parties examined were re manded.
