According to a recent decision of t he Sanitary Intendance of Marseilles, vessels ( *fling from Andalusia, from the ports of Malaga, Alicant, Carthagena, and Barcelona, are to be In) on their arrival in a French port, under fifteen days quarantine. Vessels arriving from 11 °3 7 other ports of Spain arid the Balearic Isles are to perform ten days quarantine. 4.—ltentes opened at 101 f. 60c., Th e., 65c., 70c., 60c., 70c., 60c., for money. At half past three o'clock the price for the end of tho month was mu. 60c., and according to private letters they afterwards rose to 1021. 10c. Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning, bring lag Hamburgh. Papers to the 27th ultimo, and Dutch Papers to the sth instant. We are glad to announce that the accounts from various parts of Germany respecting the state of the rivers Continue to be favourable, the waters having gradually fallen. The following are extracts ; COBLENTZ, Nov. N. The General Diet was opened on the 11th of this month. It is but thinly attended, and is expected not to sit above three wedcs. According to the second proposal laid before the Diet, it is the Qrand Duke's intention to levy for the year 11125 one Extraordi nary less, and in order to make good the deficiency that will be thus caused in the feceipt by indirect taxes, it is intended, it le ems, to impose an import-duty on many articles, for instance wi3e, salt, wood for fuel, planks, linen, woollen cloths and Woollen goods in general, cattle, horses, glass, tar, &c. We ' h all see how the States will. receive this proposal of the G overnment. I.'he intended causeway of Boitaenhurg, &c. to the Prussian i toraiers is to be made entirely st the expence of the Prince, aria completed in five years. The States arc only applied to in order to fix the toll, and the indemnity to he given to the hand %/tiers, through whose ground the road will puss. There is no doubt that the States wiU decide conformably to the wish of t he Qovernment, especially as the Prussian Government is said 113 have declared its resolution to send th e Prussian Mail to ii ttnLur g through Hanover, unless a new road is made. /jt lucre report that the tolls and duties arc to be levied in enburgh with more strictness, has induced of late many Drh 7,erti of goods from Prussia to llamburgh, .or back, to de of the real prtfit of toll and consumption by the Elbe, ti r riksity at the frontier, and so avoiding our territory en 1--They indeed go 3 or 4 miles out of their way (12 or 11..;1glish), but thus have only one toll to pay ; whereas in a_cutlenburg they would have four to puss. Though they take a ,1 4 ;y e longer in this journey, they must find their account in it. bad state of our nut& may be another cause.

POLITICAL RUMOURS.—Whe peculiar state of Ireland occupies at the present moment, it is Bald , the principal attention of His Majesty's Government. It is likewise mentioned, that the Marquis of WELLESLEY is to retire from the Lord Lieutenancy of the Sister Kingdora,and to succeed to the Presidency of His Majesty's Council, Wee the Earl of lIATIROWBY, who resigns and quits C 11; - , Ce altogether. Another rumour is, that eIIN Du ke of WELLINGWON is to he the New fiord Lieutenant of Ireland, though it has been //h isPered th a t t h e E ar l o f BittsTor. is to succeed the Marquis WELLESLEY, and that Mr. %VILMOT 1101ITOM is to be his Secretary. In consequence of a heavy fall of snow in Aberdeenshire, and in other parts from thence to Edinburgh, the North Mail did not reach that city on the 2d instant till nine o'clock at night, too late for the Mail to London. On the 3d it was many hours out of course. The Mail Coach from London, and also from Carlisle to Edin. burgh, were likewise delayed by the storm on the 2d. Private advices from Nuremberginform us that several Governments belonging to the Germanic confederation have resolved to follow the example of Wurtembera, and no longer to comply with the demands of the Prussian Cabinet, for the delivery into their power of persons, subjects of the Governments first alluded to, who may be suspected of being parties to Secret Associations, but to bring them to trial before their own tri burials, whether the accusation against•them pro ceeds from the Commission of Inquiry at Mentz, or from the intermediite Prussian Commission which holds its sittings at the Cantle of Kcepenick. TEA TRADE.--The COPENHAGEN ASIATIC COM PANY have determined not to send any ship to China in the spring, as it was generally supposed they would have done.. RY E.-By recent accounts from Coblentz it ap pears that rye has never been so cheap there for the last 84 years as it now is, the present average price being two rix dollars five groschen for the Coblentz bushel. The highest price ever known at Coblentz was in 1816, when rye was 11 rix dollars 15 groschen per bushel Malchin. At Odensee and Nyborg in Denmark, there was a dreadful storm on the night of the 14th of last month, and some persons thought they felt a shock of an earthquake at half past live, p.m. on the 15th. ListioN, Nov. 11.—Lord COCHRANE has been admitted, on the 28th of July last, to take the oath of fidelity to the Emperor of Brazil, DON PEDao. By a Decree of the Bth preceding, he was to have the pay of a first Admiral, or Com mander of the naval forces of Brazil, as long as he continued in the service of that country ; aml when he may think proper to retire, he 'will re ceive half-pay, with the reversion of it to his wife.—(French Paper.) Yesterday the LORD CuANcELLoIt had an au dience of the KING. Prince ESTERIIAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, transacted business on Saturday, at the Foreign office Downing-street, with Mr. Secretary CAN• NING. On Saturday Mr. KROUSE, the King's Mes senger, left town for the Netherlands. Mr. STRATFORD CANNING was engaged nearly the whole of Saturday with. Mr. Secretary CAN NING, at the Foreig n -nflice, and toO tools leave of the Right Ilonourable Secretary, previous to the de- parture of. his Excellency on his embassy to St. Petersburgh. Yesterday his Excellency left Grillon's Hotel, to-proceed on his journey to St. Petersburgh. Sir CHARLES BAOOT has left his house in CUM. Berland-street, to proceed on his Embassy to the King of the NETHERLANDS. THE BURMESE Wan.—We have been favoured with the perusal of a private letter from an Officer of Rank commanding a portion of the Forces employed against the Burmese. Ito states the .effective strength of the English to amount to about 5,000 men, consisting of the 13th, 38th, and 41st Regiments. The Madras European Regiment, and the 3d, Bth, 9th, 10th, 17th, and 20th Native Corps, the whole under the command of Sir Archibald Campbell, of the 38th. lie fur nishes the account of the capture of Rangoon, which has already appeared before the public, and adds that on that occasion the conduct of the. British Forces was most shameful,. having plun dered the whole town, and destroyed consider able property. The tents with which the troops are supplied are totally inapplicable to the ser vice, being only 8 feet square with a single pole, and being made of cotton cloth,. they formed no 'shelter either from the sun or rain. The South `West Monsoon commences - in that country in the month of May ; and, in .cOnseqUence, it was not likely that any very decisive operations would take place for some time.-(Sunkti Times.) The Medina has been employed in Conveyint , Lord' ST ILO/Groan from Constantinople to Trieste; his Lord. ship debarked at the latter port on the 3d of November, and was.to2proceed in a few chip.; to Vienna. It is supposed he will be in England about Christmas. By.the departure of his Lord ship from Constantinople, the interests of the British Govern ment in that quarter devolve to a Charge d'Affaires; but we should suppose they are of too much importance, at present, to be long entrusted to any one but a Minister of the first rank.— ( Hampshire Telegraph.) The King of FRANCV, to encourage literature and music, as far as they are concerned in the - composition of pieces for. the French Opera House, 'has' establiShed annual prizes of 4,0,00 francs (1671.') for the best lyric production In three or in five acts, founded on a subject of national history, or of imagination ; and 2,000 francs for the best production, in one act, of the comic or pastoral character. The merits of the, several works presented for the prizes to be determined upon • by a " Jury," selected according to the regulations of a !loyal order. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—OIIWednesday last the Catholic Association met at the Corn Exchange, 15ublin, when, after some preliminary business Mr. O'Connel re ported on an Address to the People of Ireland, which he concluded by moving should be received and adopted by the Meeting. Mr. Fitzsimmons, seconded the resolution, which was opposed by Mr. Lanigan and Mr. O'Reilly, the former of whom moved, and the latter seconded an amendment, that the Address be re-considered ; the amendment was, hew- eVer, negatived without a division, and the original motion car ried. Mr. O'Coli NEL then announced the subscription to the Catholic Rent for the last week as amounting to 1,032/. 7s. 9Ad. and gave notice of a motion for vesting anothe r 1,0001 . in the funds, when after a vote of thank 3 to Sir Tilos. ESMONIE I the Chairman, the Meeting adjourned to next Thursday. RECOGNIZANCES.-111 the year 1801 two poor women in Hereford were bound in the recognizance of 201. each to attend and give evidence on a trial at the assizes them. They complied with the conditions, and returned to their homes. A few weeks since, when 23 years had elapsed, they were both arrested, on the ground that, after the trial, they . had not ap plied to the Court tin a formal discharge from their obligation. The 'one was bailed, and the other was committed to prison ; both have since been released by means of a petition to the Barons of the Exchequer, the fees of which amounting to nearly 61. each are to be defrayed by subscription. Since this time, four other poor persons have been committed to Hereford prison by a similar process, , and with the mere difference that their omission of this legal form took place seven years ago. In con. sequence, the visiting Magistrates of the county prison stated their case to the Lords of the Treasury, through the Secretary of State, and their Lordships have not only aent to each of them a discharge free of all expence, under the Royal Sign Manual, but have also most humanely obtained the sum of 30/. from the Royal bounty, to be distributed, at the discretion of the Visiting Magistrates, to the unfortunate individuals who have been exposed to so much distress in their persons and cir . cumstances by the proceedings against them.----(Shrculbuiy ChrouPle, Dec. 3.) TIIE THEATRES. DnuRY-LANE.—The delightful Comedy of As You Like It gave Mrs. YATES another opportu nity of gratifying a numerous audience by her correct, animated, and interesting performance of Rosalind. An apology was made for Mrs. BEDFORD'S omission of the songs in the part of Celia, but the audience recompensed themselves by encoring most of the others. Hafed the Ghe ber detained the audience till a late hour. COVENT-GARDEN.—The new Tragedy of Ra• velum was represented for the second time on Saturday. It has been judiciously curtailed, and therefore we nt off with better success: Miss F. 11. KELLY being indispos'ed, an apology was made, and received with proper indulgence. The dialogue will still admit of the pruning knife, in order to augment the interest. YOCING,COOPEE, EGERTON, and Miss LACY, exert themselves with connendableszeal. In consequence of the CHANCELLOR'S refusal to grant the prayer of Mr. EnEa's motion on Thursday, relating to the Opera House, nego ciations have been resumed between the Com mittee under the late Management, and that gentleman, which, it is hoped, may terminate amicably, so •that immediate arrangements may he made for opening the King's Theatre early in January. Should .these -negotiations terminate unsuccessfully, the Nobility are determined to open a rival Theatre, under the management of a judicious and experienced Director, with as little delay as passible.—(?horning Chronicle.) MRS. SIDDONS.—TWO of our celebrated poets were conversing on the actors ; " Your admira tion of Mrs. Stnnoss is BO high," said ROGERS, " that I wonder you never made open love to her."—" To that magnificent and appalling crea lure ! I should have as soon thought of making love to .the Archbishop of Canterbury." ROBERT PA LM ER.—The late. ItonEnT PALMER was in the early part of his life a bill sticker, which circumstance was pretty generally known to the performers. One evening, dressed for Sir Brilliant Fashion, he strutted into the green-room with sparkling buckles on his shoes and at his knees, and a brilliant ring on his finger ; one of the company inquired if they were real. . 44 I wear nothing but diamonds," replied PA LM ER. " I congratulate you," said Jonm lIANNisTrt, " for Lremember - when you wore nothing but paste." This occasioned a war, which was height ened by Mrs. JORDAN crying out, " Stick hint against the wall, Bob—stick him against the wall." HORRIBLE MURDER. a'trial, in which five persons were accused, two of them fe males ; and tit) witnesses were examined.. Caroline Cautlrone it appears, was a servant in the house of Fr. !thieved, a farmer, at Fontaine- st i r -M a y e , in. the arrondissement of Abbeville. An intimate connection ensued between her and Ringard's son ; they, were suspected in the village ; but the thing was not known with certainty ; , and without, avowing the whole truth, she had not been able to conceal the inte rest she took in • the youth. She was, however, seven months gone with child, a wl the circumstance was lint known beyond the walls of Ringard's house, when she was found murdered in the centre of the village, oat - the entrance of a meadow at-some dietance from Ringard's house. Her body. Was dreadfully mutilated, h av i ng 22 cuts about the head and bust,' and one' of her bends was almost 'severed from the arel. On November 6th, she bad been nut in the evening at a house of the village, and expressing some vague fears, one or her friends accompanied her to the door arltingard's house, and there is every reason to believe she went in. Caroline had few acquaintances add no enemies. The meadow where she was found was bordered by a number of houses frequented till mid ni t, but nobody heard any thing. Her distaff, with her bob bin:, were found near her, in th e same state as when s h e l e t the use of her acquaintance, except th at one . of them bore the mark of a bloody linger. A little charcoal pan (cuvet) was lying near her broken, but it was not the one she had had with her the night before. It was plain, therefore, she had not been murdered in the meadow, and a mu l t i tu d e o f cir cumstances directed the suspicions of the Magistrates. The - hatred of the family,of Itingard, and th e th r e ats o f the son, who had said he would murder her if she ment ionetther preg nancy; the evidence of a pedlar, who by chance had h ear d some , proposals made. fur murdering Caroline, fixed these suspicions into • certainty. An examination was begun, and a • hedging-bill found, which seemed to be the instrument with which tie wounds had been inflicted, and spots of blood confirm the circumstances. A man e of the name of Banquet, employed as a labourer in the house, was suspected, as it was proved that the bloWs had been given by the left hand, and he was .left handed. His panteloens were stained with blond, the origin of which he could not explain. It had been proposed to marry him and Caroline. Independent of the suspicions attached to all, there were some therefore which weighed on him inch vidually, A widow also, the sister-41.1am of Bingard, was present at the proposal for murdering Caroline, which the pedlar had heard by chance. Bingen), his wife and son, and Baguet was therefore accused of the murder, and the widow was accUsed . of being an accomplice. The Jury were unanimous in !lading 'litigant, the son, guilty, and. acquitting the widow.-- 11y a majority of 7to 5 they . found ltenyurd, the father, hiS Wife,' and Baguet, also. guilty, and. the Court deciding, pro. nouneed sentence of death on ltingard, the father, and ltmgard, the son, and acquitted the mother and Baguet. The execution is to take place at A bbev ille.—(Comnituanne/.) NEWGATE.—On Saturday the London Grand Jury were conducted over the interior of this prison by Mr. Wormier, the Governor, and every place therein was examined minutely. The gentleman expressed to Mr. Nirontner their satisfaction 'at finding such order and cleanliness in every part. When the Jury were taking a vlaw of the place appropriated to convicts under sentence or death, Harris, the man convicted of robbing Sarah Drew, a servant girl in the family of Mr. Hale, a silk merchant, in Wood-street, Spitallields, addressed them in very affecting language, and solemnly protested that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him. The girl deposed that the prisoner took a rope out of his pocket, and swore he would hang her; that he, with the assistance of two other men,. drag. ged her to the side of a pond, in Hackney-fields, and pitched her into it. The proof of Harris's identity rested solely on the the Grand Jury told the un h ap py man , the girl's testimony, and seve ral wi tnesse s swore to an alibi on the clear against him,, that they co u ld not have evidencetri 8 done otherwise than have found hi m Gu ilty, had they been on the Jury who tried him. O thers of the Grand Jury commisser ated his situation, '"wiea oral o ot s s . an d hoped that the investigation in progress would establish his innocence, or confirm his guilt. Harris said. " I assure you, Gentlemen, the young woman was mis taken ; I do not deny that she was ill-treated by some persons, but • I declare solemnly that I had no concern in the transac thmo • The *retched culprit has persisted in his innocence ever since his apprehension. • DIIEADFUL SUTCIDE.—A man of the name of Davies, a tailor in , Mussclburgh, who had come to town the latter end of last week, for the purpose of recovering a s mall debt of twenty-five shillings which was due him, had, it appears, after obtaining his money, met i n with bad com pany, by whom he had been induced to s p en d the greate r sh are o f it. On Saturday night, he returned homy as far where he remained f or the night as Jock's Lodge, On Sabbath morning he inquired for a razor to shave himself, but chit for some reason was not given him, and he ordered his boots to be brushed. When II servant returned with them to his room, he was found suspended by his neckcloth and a bit Dirracks, b ut lif e was found to be extinct. What adds much to the cal am i t y, h e has left a wife and t en c hild re n,' wholly unprovided f or; and was generally consid ere d a sober and of rope. M e di c al aid was immediately o b ta i ne d from 'the decent man.—(Edlaburgh Courant, b ee . 3.) TILE KING. Ills MAJESTY still remains at Carlton Palace, we are re joiced to state, in most excellent health ; hut is expected to to take his departure from thence in a few days. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

A few days ago, two limes were discovered in the gardens at Heaton, the scat of Sir T. Al. Stanley ; one of them afforded much sport, and was killed ; the other was permitted to escape. Sir Thomas's hounds drove a fine dog fox from cover, and had a glorious run with him to Brimstage—in the whole, a ills tance of about twenty miles. Being closely pursued, Rey nerd made for a farm-house there, and leaped on a wall about six feet high, and from thence on an adjoining cart-house, three feet higher, close to the dwelling-house, which, on that side, is nearly covered with ivy. This afforded too fine a shelter to be lost, and up it did the cunning animal creep, till• he had gained the roof, and was screened from observation. The hounds seen came up, and had the scent fresh to the wall, where they were obliged to " stop at a gage," and the pursuit termi nated, greatly . to the disappointment of a large field. In the course of the night, the farmer was much annoyed by the bark ing of his yard-dog, which, next morning, was observed making several attempts to get on the cart-house. This afforded a clue to the farmer that some strange visitor was near, and he accord ingly gut a ladder, and mounted thema, where, snugly couchant in a spout, closely shaded by the friendly ivy, was sly lleynard! The animal immediately made a fresh start, descended to the cart-house and the gronad, and once more got free into the fields without the least injury. MESSRS. POOLE AND ELLISTON. Bow-STREET.--A Gentleman named Poole ap. plied on Saturday to Mr. MINSIIULL ' the sitting, Magistrate at this Office, for a warrant against Mr. Elliston, of Drury-lane Theatre, for a violent assault. Mr. Poole stated, that on tlOth Nov. last he wrote a letter to Mr. Elliston, to which he had re ceived no answer. lie in consequence went that day, accom panied by a friend, to the stage-door, and sent in his own card and that of his friend. After waiting a short time they were de sired to walk into the Manager's room. Thither they went, acrd in teshort time Mr. Elliston made his appearance...." Who are you, Sir?" said he, addressing hiMself to Mr. Poole ; Mr. Peek referred him to his card,- upon which Mr. Elliston said, with vehemence —" Quit this house, Sir ! or I'll kick you."— Mr. Poole declined departing so easily, when Mr. Elliston de manded the name of his friend. He was again referred to the card ; on which he said he could lick them both, and forthwith deliveied 0. compliment a posteriori upon Mr. Poole's person. Ile then seized him by the collar, and a scuffle ensued, in which a stick which Mr. Poole had in his hand was broken. Mr. El. listen then • ordered both parties out of the Theatre, and told his door-keeper never to admit them again. On this information the warrant was granted, and a polite tuessaga was sent to Mr. Elliston, to beg his attendance. Mr. Elliston ' however, was not disposed to make his appearance in such a piece, and declined coming altogether, on which the warrant was placed in ltuthven's hands, and he was brought to the office. He came prepared with his bail, sad was bound over in the usual recognizances to answer for his misdeeds at the ensuing Sessions. No explanation as to the cause of the original hos tility was given. This day, shortly after Sir RTCHARD BIRNIE had taken his seat, Mr. Elliston made his appearance, we understand, to complain of the report of the proceedings relative to the assault on Mr. Poole, the author. After consulting, in rather a low tone, with Sir Richard, Mr. Elliston cast his eye at a gentle man connected with a Morning Paper, always happy in his description of quarrels, &c. to whom he beckoned, and they left the office together. As they were walking out, Sir Ilicrtann suggested to Mr. Enigma that he had better state - the real case. Mr. ElliNton.-1 never state any thing but the real case. Mr. Elliston remained with the gentleman for some time in the office, no doubt correcting any little error that might have crept into the paper. MELANCHOLY EFFECTS OF SEDUCTION. —A fevr nights ago as the watchman stationed in Sutton-street, Clerken. well, was going his rounds, he perceived two young women e b i e e LI: y o ,t remarkablea t .11f.0tltirteh) we y in e n t g t :u a l t * lln i s ta ie l o i ir i n n t u l i t a d l sitting at the step of a door, one of whom was weeping bitterly and wringing her hands, whilst her companion seemed. totally iasensible to her distress from having too freely indulged in drink. The night' being extremely cold and wet, the watchman suggested to the younger female the propriety of removing her companion to the watch-house, as she could not gut home in such a state. The Ivor outcast clasped her 'hands in agony, and artlessly exclaimed--` c Home !we have no home, no shel ter ; but do not take us to the watch-house as prisoners; we have injured no, one but ourselves." Here she burst into a fresh to take charge of her and her flood of tears, which had their duo effect even on the heart of a go t pathetic simplicity e ti t lt i oec girlsfge iell,e -iwnagt.chnlrhiei , y a ou tl t a ll s:; t i i i i i e theof themselves, the it t h he tea el r d s e a r n m d a u in n t f a e i l i g ie n d ed a en ste r n . io s U s n oi f l i l s me t te l l i i l l e r s e iu n b t ;e i l l et i el e l : n c i a: d o b l tn)oy'vp:44i companion . inducedil On him circumstances. the - wore both brought before the Magistrates at Hatton-garden, rassment, repeated that they wandered about the streets because they had no home, no money to procure a lodging, and no friends in London to whom they could apply for assistance. The Magis trates having ascertained that they were not known as belonging to that class of females who are too frequently and justly the inmates of a watchhouse, ordered them to be removed to the New Prison for a time, with Injunctions that strict attention should be paid to their wants,particularly to those of the younger girl, who seemed to stand much in need of medical aid. the poor girl, instesul of evincing any horro r at the mention of a prison, expressed her gra titu d e ; and the name of having given herself and step-sister, they were removed pro temporc to their destination. The case was referred to the Atendicity Society, and the younger girl's history was as follows :—She was the daughter of a most respectable gentleman residing in a town in Ilerkshins, whose name from obvious reasons is withheld. The elder girl (who was by a former marriage) had early abandoned herself to vice, and concurred in the machinations of a certain Individual to bring about the ruin of her innocent sister. At the early age of fifteen she was seduced, and her father for the additional dishonour thus heaped upon him, turned her ' out of doors, without any better prospect of support than she might expect from her undoer. That resource was speedily ex hausted ; and counselled by her abandoned sister she fled to Lon don, to try what her yet remaining beauty could produce in a metropolitan market, but her diffidence was a drawback to her success; her health became impaired, and, reduced to the last extremity of indigence, she was turned out of her lodgings on the day previous to her apprehension, the sister having shared a similar fate.
