TIU LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Ezra' acts from the Morning Peipers, Sept. 2. [BRITISH PRESS.] The approaching death of Louis XVIII. not only places France in a state of alarming ex pectation, but excites considerable uneasiness in alls the continental Cabinets of Europe. Hie lineal successor, the Count &Artois, is very far from being popular, as, under his Government, France must look forward to the complete as- vendancy of the adherents of the old regime, and to the revival of that ecclesiastical sovereignty which it has cost her so much to suppress. At this juncture, and in the present state of public opinion; there is mach of perilous experiment in this system of policy. M. de Villele opens the campaign by subjecting the periodical press to the most severe censorship, as if, in the times in which we live, a despot could work his purpose with this sort of instrument. Common sense shonld have taught him the folly of resorting to it, and common prudence might have shewn him the danger of it. If a Minister is decidedly hos tile to whatever savours of freedom in public in stitutions, be must be in the last stage of idiotcy to suppose that he ran support himself in his at tack on the liberties of the nation by the estab lishment of the Censure. Such a measure, so far from keeping him clear of difficulty, will mul tiply his embarrassments at every turn. Such a Minister must be always in hot water, because the wi'rkedness of his heart will always create more obstacles than can be overcome by the weakness of his head. There is, unhappily, a wonderful aptitude in mankind for self-decep tion, awl, in spite - of experience, they stumble over the same stone that, with their eyes open, they Crave seen trip up thousands that have gone before them. Villele and his partisans are not blindly working their engines of power ; they have seen the operation of them in other hands. If it were in the nature of such men to reflect at all, they wOula soon discoveer that they are arraying a force against themselves, by which, ere long, they will be, to a certainty, overthrown. The moment oppression comes to be felt by the great mass of the people, the energies of nature will rise up against it, and there will soon be an end of the oppressor. You may annihilate the freedom of the press—you -may suspend the se curities of personal liberty,—but you cannot— . in a nation like France,—destroy the force of human feeling. A Constitution may be virtually set aside ; a Charter may be made waste paper; but Nature has her existing laws, which cannot be abrogated, and which will force their way in the face of all opposition, and, in spite of a Cen sure, wilt defeat the expedients of despotism. The personal position of the Con d'Artois is, at this mo ment, ex tremely critical. Ile is not overburthened with political integrity,and he wants the good sense to perCeive, that the policy he is pursuing is not suited to his circumstances. lie has in M. De Yillele a. sufficiently flexible instrument, but he has . in him also a very ambitious, and therefore most unsafe adviser. • if this, Minister, unwilling as he is to bend to the dominion of prudence, and carr ying e verything, as he has hitherto done, with a high hand, imagines that he can go on, at this perilous crisis, to conduct the administration of Government in France,.after the manner of the days thilt are gone, a very short time will shrew him that he is miserably mistaken. ].'intrigue et Tesprit da coterie, aided, too, as they are, by all lee tracasseries de la police la plus inquirito ride, will avail him nothing, if he continues to pursue, as he now is pursuing, a course of policy indirect opposition to that which is imperiously prescribed by the internal situation of •France, dud by its present position, as it respects the dif ferent Governments of Europe. f MORNiNG citnosicr.c.l Ship letters and papers were yesterday deliver ed from Jamaica to the '2lst July, and among the coritents of the latter, we notice the subjoined extraordinary news from Peru, ..which, we con fess, appears incomprehensible. From this ac count, it would seem, that Olaneta, the Royalist Chief, who has for some time commanded what is called the Vanguard of the Peruvian Army,amount ing to 3,000 men, posted in the districts of Potosi, Chuquisaca, and operating as fur as Tupiza, has deserted his party under the moat IllttliCCOUtittl bill circumstances. The report states, " that he wits pursued by Carratala (another Royalist Chief) with an equal force, taken prisoner by him, and that; then he immediately consented to serve the patriotic cause." Had Carratala been a Patriotic Chief, the circumstunce would at least have been comprehensible, although not probable, for of all the Royalist Chiefs' in Peru Olaneta is th e most servile and the most -devoted to: the in. terests trf the Mother Country,. 54 was-proved by the mariner in which be sought to form a party in favour of . King Ferdinand, the moment he re ceived the noted Proclamation of the latter, dated at Port St. Mary's, on the Ist of October in last year. The other Chiefs are the most decided Con stitutionalists, opposed to the despotic Govern. 'melt tof Ferilinend, and they instantly reprimanded Olaneta fur his conduct. If we remember well, an interview on this subject took place between the Viceroy La Seine and °lsraeli, when the dispute was amicably adjusted. This 19 the dispute we are naturally led to imagine that has given rise to the story circulated in Truxillo, an immense distauce from the spot where Oleneta was posted, for if any thing of consequence had happened on the aide of Buenos Ayres, that is towards Potosi, we must have known it through en easier and quicker channel. At all events, the communications re ceived yesterday from the Pacific, whatever may be the purpose for which they are intended, by their respective dates, folly confirm the senti ments we have already expressed respecting the forgery to which the date of the '27tli of Moy had been af f ixed, as -it will be remembered, and put itu circulation. here nearly two.months ago. 1:14101U41140 rosT.j We received fait night by express, Frend Papers to the 31st ult, and the Etude of 'rues day. The latter completely supersedeli the Ma nileur ) for .it publishes every kind of official documents, twelve hours before they appear in that nominal record of authentic intelligence. — Thus it gives in its present number the various reports addressed by General O'Donnel to the Spanish Minister at War, describing the progress of the siege . of Tariffa, and the Order of the Day issued by General Digeon, which relates its termination, and the capture of the island where the surviving Constitutionalist had sought a refuge. It appears from these documents, which we have inserted in another part of our Paper, that the struggle was more se rious than could have been imagined from the paucity of numbers on the side of the Patriots. They not only maintained possession of the town twenty whole days, although amounting in all, we are told, to four hundred; but they evidently repulsed all the attacks made by the Spanish Royalists,and it was only when the French took the direction of the siege, battered the walls with heavy artillery, and went through all the opera tions of regular warfare against this handful of men, that they were overpowered, and perished lighting bravely, or the unfortunate survivors were reserved for the more lingering death of the scaffold. It also appears that Turiffa was not the only point where the Constitutionalists gained a footing. Another party landed at Mar bella, and levied contributions to a considerable amount, where a third penetrated to the moun tains of Ronda, where it may still maintain itself, for though it is said to have lost some men in an action with the Royalists, no mention is made of its final destruction or capture. Whilst these oc currences show the capabilities of Spain for fu ture insurrections, they also prove that the time is not come when they can be undertaken with success. The other contents of these Papers are unimportant. ______ [NEW TIMES.I We have received the Oesterreichestcr Dec. budder to the 21st ult. and the Allgemeine Zei. tang of the 24th. The former states that the price of Austrian Five per Cents. at Vienna on the 19th ult. was 94 3.16 ; and that of Vienna Bank Shares, 1,120. The Algemeine Zeitung quotes from the Florence Gazette a letter of the 24th of July from Corfu to the following effect:— Several credible private letters, as well as the Miasolonghi Journal of the 16th of July, say, that whilst the Turks, ufter their landing and first successes at Ipsara, were giving themselves up to the pursuit of plunder, 80 Greek vessels arrived quite unexpectedly, which attacked the Turkish fleet with unexampled fury. On the island itself, the Greeks had not been wholly overpowered, and those who had survived the slaughter or the preceding days, and retreating from .place to place, had continued to defend themselves for a week, took courage once more, and precipitated themselves with rage on the Turks. After an obstinate conflict, the greater part of the Turks remained on the field of battle. Three Turkish frigates were run ashore ; the Captain niches ship was dis . masted; and the remainder of the Turkish fleet were driven back, part to the Dardanelles and part to Lemnos. At Casso, a part of the „Expedition of the Viceroy of Egypt had ar rived, had captured .sixteen Greek vessels, and had forced the inhabitants to fly to the mountains. To this Island, too, the Greeks took core to dis patch a flotilla, which not only regained posses sion of the vessels that the Turks had taken, but also seized seven ships under European flags, %i 'dell had been chartered for account of the Viceroy, and were laden with. money and war like stores. The Diario di Roma also contains accounts from Naples, that sure udvices had reached that place, that the Turk; after their !loody conquest of Ipsara, had been again driven tom that Island. [THE TIMES.] We hear for ever of popular and even indivi dual viulences, ottempted against Sovereigns and their Ministers ; but there are violences to which these great personages seldom make any allusion. Of such a character is the proposition, of which we gave a short description yesterday, placed by Austria upon the Minutes of the Germanic Con federation on the 16th ult. The fears of Prince Metternich, or of his literary and enlightened Sovereign, have broken out on this occasion in a paroxysm of what is really nothing better than outrageous folly. It seems to be the intent of the Holy Alliance that nothing shall be done, nothing published, nothing taught, nothing thought, in any one state of Europe, over which every other state shall not have the prerogative of exercising an incessant controul. One qualifi cation only, it may be said, attends this new system of Government namely, that the controul is never to be applicable but on behalf of the dozen or two of persons whom fortune has raised to chairs of state, with font-stools, canopies, and bayonets, for their decorations, end against the hundreds of millions of men, who, according to a certain creed, are actually bound to live or die as a service or a sacrifice is required by those who rule them.— Prince Metternich • lays it down as the fixed pleasure of Austria, that all the " public power" of a state must remain in the hands of the Sove reign —not, be it understood, in Austria alone, but in . every one of those countries which she at the same time, with beautiful consist ency, declares to be independent in their in ternal administration : but if any legislative or other act should take place ill one of 'hem, which another (and that other means Austria her self) conceives to he alarming to the " Monarchi cal principle,`► why then the Diet—that is, Aus tria which reigns over the Diet—is privileged and bound by duty to interfere and bring back the erring Prince or Legislative Body to reason. how, then, is such a rule to operate ? The most perfect illustration of the monarchical principle is to be found, no doubt, within the dominions of Francis. Whatever differs from the Imperial model must be wrong—whatever falls short of Austrian 44 mo narchy" in other German States must be defective --whatever diverges from it, tt►ost dangerous to thrones and altars. But Bavaria has a Diet ; and Wurtemberg; and Prussia some shadowy forms of a representative just proclaimed, or in 'preparation. Hanover, too, has had fur some short period states, or what are called by that' name. Are not all these so many adulterations of pure monarchy ? Is it not very dangerous that these assemblies should deliberate ? Ay, and it is announced by the protocol itself, that the printing of such debates should be curtailed and guarded, so as to prevent any wicked no tions from getting abroad, that liberty can be advanced by popular representatives, or know ledge by the publicity of their sentiments • add proceedings. But then it is admitted — nay, it is boasted of—that " the sentiments and 1" wishes of the Germans, if left to their own im " pulses, are full of attachment to their Princes; " and that every contrary appearance is the 46 work of guilty demagogues." What then, can the few demagogues argue the body of the people out of their senses ? If the press be free to the democrat, is it not to the loyalist likewise ? Or is it wished to be inferred, that democracy can be defended by reason, but monarchy only by the sword ? In Booth, Prince Metternich, this is unlucky logic. We are disposed to draw from these desperate plunges of the legitimates the conclusion, that they are more and more dis satisfied with their work—that the summit of that cloud-capped eminence towards•which they are aspiring, seems to recede as they struggle to approach it ; and that they will never cease from encroaching further upon the free agency and common sense of mankind,until with one consent the nations turn, and annihilate them. [HORNING HERALD.] The state of Spain seems not merely deplor able, but desperate—even the Censorship cannot prevent the state of discordant chaos from ap pearing through the French Journals. Several fires have recently broken out at Madrid, which the opposed parties ascribe to each other.—Sup posing them accidental, even the imputation proves the state of virulent hatred and dissension which prevails there. All, however, could hardly have been the effect of mere accident. Ishie streets were lined with troops on the day the un happy Monarch, with his family, left Madrid for Ildefonso. It was not a guard of honour, but of protection—not from Constitutionalists, but from Serviles. These latter, from the state of alarm acting upon ignorance, thought the beloved Fer dinand was going to abandon them and provide for his own safety, at Burgos or Badajos. There the Monarch himself, attended only by a single Minister, is invisible to the rest of the world, and`no one is permitted to approach his residence without a special order. In Catalonia, Anda lusia, Arragon, and Valencia, all is discord, pil lage, or confusion. In the first mentioned pro vince, the Serviles are indignant at the occupa tion of some additional strong places by the French. The Monks are foremost, and are stated to have actually taken arms, and fortified some convents. In the two latter provinces, there is no security for life, property, or the ordinary avocations of a social community. There are numerous and well organised bands, which pillage all that comes in their way.— Whether these bands are robbers or guerillas — and whether what is called pillage is not levy ing contributions, is n question not decided. But in either care the state of the country is deplor able. In the province of Granada, also, great confusion and alarm ltot g ive prevail. The several police regulations are in force in the capital-,.preventing two perso n s f ront stopp i ng together for a moment oabroadincers asendingnti s ol d i er s , away alt, esp e ciall y who could l security for their.conduct.Lastly, the official accounts which have been ivir!tsoirmede publish e d prove two things ; first, that the affair of Ta rl a was more serious than at first represented—and next, that nothing but the presence of the French • pte%enting their over-running the whole province of Anda lusia—perhaps the whole kingdom of ' S p aw .— There is n ridiculous excuse given by O'Donnell, the Spanish Commandant of the district, for the delay in the capture of the place--it is that some barrels of gunpowder were damp and would not blaze, But th e o b v i ous trut h i s , t h at it was mind necessary to send for artillery and a rein *orcetnent of French troops to Cadiz. O'Donnell imsalf was not present at the affair. In fact, the French only, under the command of a Co lonel Astorg, were the captors of the town, and subsequently of the island to which the insurgents retired. A very small portion only were made prisoners. The little island of Turiffa was deserted when it fell into the hands of the French. Consequently the besieged had escaped. A great proportion had also taken refuge in the Sierra Ronda. This is a state of things, viewed altogether, which can not continue, and which must even soon come to a crisis. It muy be said that the King of Spain might secure himself by giving some thing of security and freedom to the nation ; but, on the other hand, how is it possible to reconcile parties in a notion so furiously di vided ? Again, are the French to continue always in Spain—or can they even ? At present the population is more disturbed and infuriate than so that it is probable the French could not much longer maintain their ground without reinforcements. There are two cases under this new system of Government by foreign occupation---thos e of France and Italy ; but nei ther applies. In Spain the disease has become only more virulent under this mode of treatment. The retirement of the French would probably be followed by a civil war ; but even their conti. uuauce there can hardly prevent it. A few nights ago, a servant of Lord 1 3nEinAr.. natiE Was crossing the Lyon, at the ford above the brid ge o f Connie, with a hors e an d ca rt, when, having missed the track, he was precipitated over the ruins of the bridge into the pool below• iiis cries brought some people to his assistance, who with much difficulty saved him and the horse, but the cart, and a fat buck, a pre sen t f rom the Noble Lord to . a neighbo ur i ng gentleman, were lost. The people in the neighbourhood, in their superstitious belief, ascribe this catastrophe to the wrath of the Water Spirit.—( Perth Courier.) A few days ago a cream-coloured Bunting (commonly called Clod Bird) was shot at king mere by Mr. F. MARTEN. A snow-white swallow has of late been fre quently seen on the wing at Ringmer, wh ere it has hitherto had the good hick . to escape the shots that have been levelled at it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—A very uncommon charge of felony was made on Tuesday evening, in the justice-room, after the LORD MAXOR had finished the list of complaints. A gentle man of great respectability, who posaesses three large estates in Tortola, come into the Justice-room, followed by a young man of colour,' and Waddington, the Spa-fields advocate of the rights of man. This little person, who has now more oppor tunities of distinguishing himself, as he has ceased " to carry coals," was struck with a dialogue between the planter and alb black, in which he heard that magical word " liberty" used, and listened attentively, in the hope of benefiting that cause. It appeared that the negro, together with three others, had been purchased at a very high price, to work upon one of the planter's estates which lay upon the seashore. A slave adapt ed for the duties of a coast plantation must possess more quali fications than are required in the ordinary slaves, as the former must ransack the sea to gratify the palate of his master, and be versed in the art of sailing, to administer to the amusement of his imagination. The prisoner was so accomplished, that 120 guineas were given for him, and an equal sum was paid for each of his three comrades. They had charge of their master's pleasure-boat, which was fitted up at a great expence. Between two and three years ago, they took on board a small quantity of provision, anti set sail in quest of liberty, which they found in the island of St. Domingo, after encountering no hardship except that which sprang from their fears of being overtaken and punished. The prisoner succeeded in getting employment on board a ship bound to this country, and has ever sure entertained the highest opinion of the change in his condition. _ _ _ The planter said, the negro, it was evident, had stolen the boat, which was, ever since the landing of the runaway slaves, in the hands of the Government of St. Domingo, as the blacks could not prove any claim to it. The Chief Clerk observed, that as it was more than probable that the only means of escaping from slavery was by that boat, and as men might be excused for attempting to break their chains, it would be rather unreasonable to charge the poor black with robbery, particularly when he certainly had a higher , and honourable temptation to run away. The planter admitted that he could not prove that his slaves had endeavoured to sell the pleasure-boat, but he had no doubt of the fact. It was, he thought, exceedingly hard that he should not only sustain the loss of his slaves, who had cost him nearly 800/., but that of his boat in which they had thought proper to take their departure. Waddington said, the planter had in the street called to him and other persons who were standing by, to witness that the black said he had sold the boat. Now, the black had said no such thing. He merely said that he had left the boat be hind him. The negro here declared, in the most solemn manner, that he had committed no robbery. He confessed that he did not care who had the boat after he had got all the service he could out of it. His only object was to leave slavery, which he never could patiently endure, particularly since he had com munications with, the Lord. "I- was desired by the Lord," said he "tobe no slave more. So I took the boat, and we moved away. I never rob no one ; no, no ; I wanted liberty, no money, no boat. The Lord told me to take the boat, and I took it, Our Amighty praised." The Planter.—And did God Almighty tell you to steal the boat ? _ . . The Negro.—No, rio, he did no such thins; nor he not te, you kissee -Louise one day, and floggee Louise another day.— Nor he no tell you starve black man and floggee black man always,. no, no. The Planter repelled this hint with indignation. He asserted that his slaves were always treated with the utmost kindness, and that the prisoner had never the slightest ground for corn. plaint. The Negro.—Gor Amighty know I treated bad. He bid me go. Ibe slave no more. Here the aegro fell down upon his knees, and returned thanks to God aloud for his liberty.— lie wanted nothing from any man. He merely asked the con. tinnance of what he now had, his liberty, and he knew " da Lor of de City". would not take that from him. The negro was here asked under what Missionary he had re ceived his religious instruction. He replied, that he _knew no such, person ass Missionar but he said he was a Methodist, and believed he should 'be saved by the word of " Oar Amighty ," who advised him to take to his heels. The Loan MaTort not being in the haute, the case was postponed to yesterday. The negro then appeared, but there was no repetition of the charge. rite planter had altered his opinion of the transaction, and written a note to the chief clerk, presenting his compli ments, and stating that lie believed the black, in taking the boat, had no felonious intention ; and that by means of the poor fellow's affidavit, he would be enabled to recover his plea sure boat from the authorities at St. Domingo. The negro, upon being told that he was at liberty to go where he pleased, would have fallen upon his knees to give his blessing to all around, but the gaoler telling him that it would do standing, he bowed low and raid " Gor Amighty bless you." BOW-STREET. —Yesterday a man of the name of Isaac Newton, the proprietor of a place in the Strand, known by the name of " The IVestininster Central Mart," vulgo, a Register office for Servants, was brought before Mr. HALLS. upon a warrant, charged with assaulting a Mr. Poole, a broker, and threatening not only to pull his nose, but to throw him out of u two pair of stairs window. It appeared that Newton had taken a house in the Strand, nearly opposite his old shop in South ampton-street, from a Mr. Adams, of Pickett-street, with a v i e w to furnish it splendidly, and then let it out in chambers I:table gentlemen, as a source of very large profit. furniture, however, was put into the house; a quarter's rent remain ed unpaid ; and Mr. Adams employed Mr. Poole t ri'''t o oe'ort s d se uiotrain what he could find on the prennaes to pay the rent. Mr. P oole obe y ed his instructions, and found ver y little, dbuuctjua man in possession. Subsequent information in. Mr. Poole to suspect that some of the furniture had been conveyed away, and he paid rather an early visit the other morn i ng . about three o'clock, and while Mr. and Mrs. Newton were In bell, in order if possible to ascertain the fact. In this inquiry his suspicions became confirmed, and he awoke Mr. N e w t on and his wife, telling them the object of his visit. New. ton got very angry at being thus disturbed, and complained bitterly that such an intrusion should have been made upon his wife. However, Mr. Poole was determined to discharge what he considered his duty. Mrs. Newton dressed herself and got up ; and Mr. Poole was further confirmed in his opinion as to part of the furniture having been conveyed away.—Mr. New ton here bounced a great deal ; said much of what lie ought to do, and what he would be justified in doing ; but the assault being proved, he was held to bail, to answer for it at the next Sessions. Mitat.noltOUtrlt STREET.—Mr. Denham, the stationer, in Regent-street, who, it will be recollected, was one of the prose. cutors in the case of Mr. William Raniscien Robinson, which excited so much interest a short time ago, applied yesterday to Mr. DYER, the sitting Magistrate, for his advice how to act under the following circumstance. Mr. Denham said, that ever since the acquittal of young Robinson he has been annoyed and harrassed, by the most abusive and scurrilous letters from all parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, calling him a perjured villain • telling him that ha ought to change his name, and give up his Cusiness, or it would soon give him up ; for that his name stunk all over the country, and that nothing was left for him but to transport himself and family to some other chine, for that he never could have peace in this. Mr. Denham produced a large bundle of these letters, which were anonymous, and all evidently written by the same persons, who must Italie taken great pains to scatter them all over the empire ; some were charged 35., 45., and 55.; some double and treble letters, and none, the postage of which was less than a couple of shillings. Mr. Denham said, that he was well aware these were the proceedings of young Robinson's friends, and wished to know how he was to act. Mr. DYER said, that such proceedings, from whatever quar ter they emanated, were extremely contemptible, and reflected more discredit upon the parties concerned, whoever they might be, than on Mr. Denham, who ought to rest satisfied that he had honestly performed his duty to the public, and treat such conduct with the contempt it deserved. Mr. Denham asked if he should be justified in offering a reward for the discovery of the writer of these letters ? Mr. DYER said, that most assuredly he would, if bethought it worth his while to trouble himself about such paltry pro ceedings ; he wits not, of course, bound to pay the postage of those letters. Mi. Denham said, he knew that, but he should wish, if possible, to find out the writer ; and be should certainly make an effort to do so. Perhaps it may be some disappointment to the promoters of this shameful proceeding, to know that the Post-office is bound to return the postage of all anonymous letters which the receiver does not think fit to keep. An elderly female of genteel address, dressed in silks and o Si w ci i l t y l; satins, begged the Magistrate's assistance. Her name was Iladeock ; she had been ma r rie d twent y y ears a g o to a m edical p ra ctitioner in St. James's parish; but her hus band , having given himself up to dissipation , his affairs became emb a r rassed, and ultimately, about seventeenedyfeoar. years since he tiereenlitisutesdbaansd.s a private soldier into the GOth Reginient,the i n ierinL quartered nd in on tt whither h l i i ,le e d asrena proceededtaotlly professionalutor joi n p rov i i d t, leaving man, in London, she had th e h onour of being acquainted with the late Lady Liverpool, and in her distress, applied to her Ladyship for her assistanc e i n bringing forward a new sort of carpet, of a most beautiful description, which she had heraelf deeigned, and was entirely the work of her own hands. . Laddr, Liverpool approved highly of it, and co nsidered it so beau tiful a specimen of female work, that she recommended her to the notice of the late Princess Charlotte; and her Royal Highness no sooner saw the carpet, than she spoke of it in rapturous terms, and referred the applicant to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, who, she said, was the most likely person to forward her interests, as he had a great taste for those things. The applicant accordingly waited upon the Duke of Cumberland, and his Royal Highness did express the greatest delight at the workmanship and design of the carpet, and gave her an order upon Mr. Pearson, of the Horse Guards, for 61., with direc tions to afford her occasionally what assistance she might re quire. Mr. Pearson advanced her various sums, and with this money and patronage she opened a lodging house in Lakes ter-street, which, however did not turn out successful ; giving it up altogether, she went to reside at Margate, in all. From this place she wrote a letter to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, informing him that she had a secret of im portance to communicate to him, relative to Mr. Pearson. Tl e consequence was, that his Royal Highness sent down Sir Ns• thaniel Conant (then Mr. Conant) and Mr. Pearson himself, to Margate, to hear the nature oC the communication, but she refus• ed to confide her secret to the Magistrate, saying that her cow• munication on the subject should be with his Royal Highness alone. Sir Nathaniel and his friend Mr. Pearson then retina• ed to town, and she soon after follovied, intending.to see the Duke of York himself; bat she hail no sooner arrived at the Black Bear, in Piccadilly, than Mr. Pearson entered her apart ment, and seizing upon her desks and papers, sealed them apt and carried them off. She made application at Bow-street , and Mr. Nares, sent an officer to Mr. Pearson's house•to Ie• cover her papers ; but instead of doing so, the officer, at the instigation of Mr. Pearson, turned round upon her, and placed a keeper over her in her own apartments, as a lunatic, and she was soon after conveyed to a lunatic asylum near Boatel!, where she was confined for a considerable length of time. Al length they thought proper to liberate her, but she was the ruined, and so impoverished that she was compelled to take re' fuge in St. James's workhouse, with her children, and from that time to this she has been unable to recover or hear aril . thing of her papers from Mr. Pearson. Her husband re/ turned home some time ago, broken down by fatigue , climate, and dissipation, and he also is now in JainelY workhouse. Her father, the applicant said, had hou man of respectability in Devonshire, and which her husband squandered. The ga v e her 1 ). Handsome portion when she was married, the whole " of her father's prope rty . was in America, and on his dead' Ir. willed an equal division to his three daughters, and the cant, with her two sisters, went over to America 10 _ ,fee 10 _1. property, which consisted of 13,000 acres of land, the w h o le which they had gone over, and found that on it were golui copper, and iron, mines, of great value. Indeed, one day the! were walking over a certain part of the land, and picked uP large piece of ore,which turned out to be gold. Now the object of her present application was to know if the Magistra to could assist her in procuring the means of going egolt.„, America to take possession of her share of the propertYL", r* greatest part, boel!, lisps the parish, at their suggestion, would do the neeasu : '',,, l Sir GEO. FARRANT said that they could do no th ing w , ..."7„, seeing the parish-officers. Mr. Chadwell, the OT,ersee h r L t W he then sent for, and the applicant's request stated to him; said, that without consulting the Board lie could de nothink. Sir O. FARRANT inquired of the applicant what sum 5 " thought would be adequate to her purpose ? She said about 500/., and if Mr. Chadwell would, accolnisgn her to America, she would pay all expences, and giie the a " lien" upon the mines. Mr. Chadwell did not seem Intl lw" ro to accept this proposal and Sir U. Farrant said, that r hli t some of the great capitalists of the City would specu ate those mines. It was ultimately, however, agreed that thew ject should be submitted to the Parish Board, at which *belt plicant seemed highly pleased, as she has, she said, no dots_ • of success, her sisters having recovered their part of the pi!: perty. Mr. Chadwell told tile Magistrate, that t his female or( I responded with some of the nobility, who sent her presents 4) I all descriptions to the NVorichouse. It is rumoured that the King of SPAIN 1 34 written to the Emperor ALEXANDER an epistler which has for its subject the extreme peril arlsiPg to all paternal Governments, like those of Spai n and Russia, Romelia, and Morocco, from the wild and boundless liberty enjoyed by the French nation, under the still floating shreds 5 04 remnants of their most inauspicious charter !
