THE GENSAAL COMMANDING AT BAYONNE TO HIS EXCELLENCY Till: MINISTER. OT WAR. On the 25th of August General Count d'Es pagne overtook and arrested Bessieres and his accomplices, one league from Molina d'Arragon. On the 26th, Bessieres was shot with seven of his accomplices, whose names follow :—Bagnos, Colonel ; Gomez, Captain of Cavalry.; Peranton commanding a party ; Ortega, Adjutant of Ca valry ; Blosco, _Lieutenant of Cavalry ; Guis bona, ditto ; Toures, ditto. The King is still at St. Ildefonso, where every thing is tranquil, as well as at Madrid, and on the whole road to Bayonne. The Count de . KERESPERT, A. CHAPPE. (A true copy) (From the Jou, nal des Debats.) MADRID, AUG. 9-8. It is said that King Ferdinand has written to the King of France to inform him of the critical situation of his kiugdom. _Two French couriers arrived yesterday at St. Ildefonso ; one of them, it is.said, brings orders to all the French in the service of the . King of Spain to return immediately to their own coun try. On the arrival of these couriers, the Chief of the French Staff set out post for Madrid. The King is expected immediately in this ca pital. The Junta of Public Safety sits perma mently at La Granja. The Superintendent of the Police has not yet arrived here. It is observed that the soldiers of the Royal Guard in barracks at St. Ildefonso have abun dance of money : they are seen to play at - Petit Paid with piastres. Many persons think they can easily point out the source and the destina tion of this corrupting money. Yesterday evening a commotion was feared in Madrid, but thanks to the good regulations of the civil and military authorities, the public tranquil lity was not disturbed. At ten o'clock nobody was to be seen in tbe streets. ,It will be difficult " for the Carlists to Undertake any thing while the garrison of this capital shall be commanded by Generals Zembrana, Espagne, and San Roman. TOLOSA, AUG. 24. The letters from Vittoria of the 22d of August - give reason to fear that the•same disposition pre vails in the province of Alava as in . Biscay. The -number of . •persons devoted to the Carlists is • stated at. 8,000. Arragon does not enjoy perfect security. Let ters from Saragossa to the 17th announce a fer mentation, aid• say that Bessieres seemed •to be taking the road to that province. It is affirmed ..that the Trappist has found means to escape from -.his convent, and that he had taken'the field. According to the report •of travellers coming from Old Castile, the agents of rebellion reckon .---upon 50,000 men in that province, where arms and ammunition have been long in reserve. Galicia, commanded by a declared absolutist, Eguia, cannot fail to follow the torrent. Other travellers who have come from Madrid say, that they heard as they passed through Burgos that two regiments had raised the standard •of revolt at Corunna and Ferrol. If this news is confirmed, the expeditionTreparing .for the Ha ' vannah is rendered abortive. People like to believe, and we partake this opinion, that the Infant Don Carlos has no con -- cern in the commotionF. which are already excited,. and are preparing in Spain ; he is put forward, . and his name made use of, 'without his participa tion. As soon as there was a n appearance that .his Catholic Majesty, - in conjunction with his natural ally, was resolved at length to put an end to the disorders which have afflicked. Spain for some ~ time past, and unhappily for these two,years— , met), whose violence and excesses belie their , cha racte'r, have not hesitated to say that it was ne cessary to exterminate even the last of those men who have desired reforms. (From the Courier Prairatis,) f'AKIS, AUG.`~`i. There has been to-day - a general decline in all the, stocks. The 3 per cents., which closed yes terday (au comptant) at 72f., opened at 70 cr.nts lowe•r, and fell 30 cent? more, making h_ decline of one franc. For the end of the month, the three per cents., which opened only f 5 cents lower, fell 95. cents more, making on the whole a fall of 1 franc 1.0 c. .The 5 per cents. fell 25 cents. au comptant; and 40 cents. for the end of the month. After'Change both stocks experienced a - farther fall' au col - via/a . --the 5 per cents. Were noted at `101.75.; the 3 • per cents. at 70. 60. Neapolitan rentes fell 1 f. - 50c. au complant, and lf. only for the end of the month. All the stocks also fell at London on the 29th -of August. PARIS, SEPT. t. People were eagerly discussing the news from Spain, when the Minister put an end to, all un certainty by the telegraphic dispatch announcing the capture and execution of Bessieres. There is no doubt but this event will put an end to this sudden insurrection, which seemed to threaten the overthrow of the throne of Ferdinand. The exchange of yesterday was unfortunate,by a general fall of all the funds. To-day begins the liquidation, for which the telegraph was worked very a-propos. Yet the embarrass. -wont seems too great to hope for an immediate imp:ovement. It is not expected, therefore, ••that there will be any striking alteration on 'Change to-day. GERMAN PAPF:RS. S'ritALSUND, AUG. 12. A traveller, who has lately passed through Stockholm, has related that M. Alvarado, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at the Swedish Court, had lately presented two notes to Count Wet terstedt, respecting the sale of some Swedish ships of war, --Which, according to his opinion, were intended to strengthen the navalforce of Colombia. To the first of the notes, which was drawn up in general terms, -an evasive answer (says the account) was given, which led to the delivery of a second more detailed and.urgent note, to which the Swedish Minister replied that he should not enter into further discussions with ➢l. Alva rado, before thelatter had received -special -commands on the subject from his Court, which is not the case, so that the step in question was taken in consequence of reports in circulation. (The accounts from Stockholm direct, of Aug. 12, mention that expresses had been .sent. to Carlscrona, to forbid the sale of suclixf the ships in question as had not. yet put . to sea.) BERLIN, AUG.I4. The great heat which had increased to 26° of Reaumur (above 90° Fahrenheit), and has done great damage in our sandy soil, has now left us, and we can breathe freely. Had it set in a fortnight sooner, it would cause a total failure of the crops. As it is, they have not proved abundant, and all kinds of grain have accordingly risen a little ; but the prices are still so low, in .comparison with the expences of production; that even those Land-owners who have no debts are upable to subsist by them. At the end of this month the ship Princess Louisa will sail I lfrom Stettin on a voyage to Lima, for account of the Society lof Maritime Commerce here. The cargo chiefly consists of, linen and woollen cloth. Among the latter are the finest qua lities, viz. cloth at the price of 5 dollars 15 gr. per Berlin ell.— The Company seems by this to calculate on the opulent inha bitants of the capital of Peru. According to the reports of travellers who visited Warsaw during the Sittings of the Diet, this capital of the Kingdom of Poland has been so improved since the country has been under the Russian Government, that it is hardly to be known again. The walled camp near 'Warsaw, which can contain several thousand men, is said to he peculiarly remarkable. Russia is so eager to promote the happiness of Poland that it has advanced a sum of 42 millions of florins. Particular fa vour is shewn to the manufacturers of woollen cloths, who came from foreign countries .to -establish manufactories in this king dom. There is only one opinion respecting the good adminis tration of the Governthent, the mainsprings of which are said to be the /Ilini.; of the Interior, M. Mostowski, whose admi rable speech has been published at length,; and M. Lubczki, Minister Of Finance. The Land-owners in Poland, iris true, are in as critical a situation as our's; but they are sensible that this is only in consequence of the wars, and of the circumstance that the owners of property of other descriptions have latterly acquired a too great, though, perhaps, only temporary prepon derance. • In Warsaw the people-still indulge in the flattering dream that the Lithuanian Provinces may, in a certain case, be re-united with the kingdom of Poland. • BOLIVAR. [Extract of a Private Letter from Lima, dated March 161 " General BOLIVAR, or, as-he is always called, the Libera tor, is 42, about 5 feet 7 inches, and slender in his person, and, as the Hero of the Equator,' which the Americans call him, might be supposed to be rather dark in his complexion. ,llis countenance always of a serious cast, yet, notwithstand ing the -mustachio on his upper lip, not ferocious as many represent him; his eyes dark hazel, are expressive and pene trating. In early life he travelled through Europe for his pleasure ; he reads English, but does not speak more than a few words ; French he speaks fluently, though not cor rectly. Apologizing one day for my imperfect knowledge of French and Spanish, he said, 0, no matter, never regret it, your own fine idiom is the only one worth speaking, all that is liberal—all that is noble, is to be found in that. It is the lan guage of liberty.' He talks a great deal,and with apparent frank ness, and without premeditation. He seems fond of social life, and never baulks a party by going away prematurely. On two oc casions I have been with him in large parties--once at a-ball and supper, where lie•staid from eight in the evening till five in the morning, talked the whole time, at supper gave toasts and made speeches, and after supper danced a-waltz with a handsome girl. At a breakfast, on Washington's birth-day, the day he selected for his.visit to the frigate United .States, which lasted from Il to 3, he gave several toasts and speeches, in one of mhich he exalted the United States, as infipitely surpassing every na- • tion of ancient and ,modern times, in . knowing how to unite the most entire liberty with the most perfect order, intelligence, liberality, .&c. His ambition appears to be of a lofty and fine description. He wishes togo down as the asserter and founder of South A merican Independence, and, satisfied with an ample fortune, disdains all accession of wealth. He refused with some contempt the vote of the Peruvian Congress, granting hini a million of dollars,. having made it his pride from the beginning that he would not carry away even a grain of sand from Peru. His favourite projects are a canal across the Isthmus, and .the establishment of a Congress at Panama, to consist of . a . grand Federative Council, -to decide on all disputes between the different States, to have an army which they will call out when either of the states or any foreiga power commits an aggression. The idea, however, seems visionary, but it is his favourite - scheme. After settling the affairs of these countries and establishing their peace and independence, it is his wish to travel through the United States and England, for both which countries he has a high admiration. ills enmity against the Spaniards,. flourished in the bloody war of Venezuela, is irreconcilable. All his connexions were murdered by them, except an uncle whom he has in Spain. Though every thing has depended on his energy and talent, yet many able men have been formed under -him. Sucre, who gain ed the memorablehattle of Avaciiebo; .one of-the most con clusive, that ever was fought, discovered, as-the Spanish officers admit, and as Gen. Mounet told me, the highest degree of skill and promptitude. His previous dispositions were admirable. .The enemy were nearly double, but he seized the critical mo ment for attack, and,' said filounet to me, 4 we lost Peru in half an hour.' Gen. Salons, who commands the besieging army "befcroCallao e nbout 3,500 men, is a man of great merit. I have seen none whose manners please me more. .A little over thirty; heloriks sixty,. from fatigue of body and mind, but of incessant activity. . The castles were fully invested on the Ist instant. They are establishing heavy batteries, but it is probable they will only be taken by mutiny or famine.: Rodil has placed hi mse lf in a situation where Ins ruin seems inevitable. General Bolivar:toasted him -on board the frigate, praising his valour and perseveeance, .to take a ~course in, which•-his dest ruc ti on was i n e v i ta bl e , bitt ending with a sar casm, that he was - like Pizarro in.the island of Gorgone, who thought with his thirteen followers he should conquer the Con tinent, and concluded with may he speedy join Pszarra, and give him an account of his labours.'" 'CAUTION TO DOMEST.I.-SoiliP days ago , two. piling chimney -sweepers presented themselves at the house of Mr. Vandersluys, a Dutch gentleman, atislington, pretend ing that they had been desired to call to sweep the kitchen chimney; but the hour being unseasonable, the servant re fused to have the chimney be swept then, and set them to clean a flue in the scullery. While at work there, -they -shut the kitchen door, which commanded a view of it, to prevent the soot from Hyin g i n , and having' completed their work, they departed. Instantly afterwards the housemaid missed five silver spoons from the scullery ; and on the alarm being given, the - footman lan in pursuit of the thieves, and followed theM a considerable distance, callirig " Stop thief:" A young man, groom to.a gentleman in the neighbourhood, hearing the cry, and seeing two chimney-sweepers running, followed and stopped .them, and-in the course of their flight; he saw one of them throw the slngUis over a hedge, where he after Wards picked them up, and deliirered theni to Mr..Vandersluys's footman. Of the titlp thus apprehended only one was recognized as having been in the house, the other who was taken with him hav ing been left,outside,.,and joined them afterwards.

THE UNITED STA.TES and GEORGIA. (From the Georgia Recorder, July 19.) The following letter from General Gaines show - s the result of his conferences and.the situation of -affairs with the Creek In dians : Head-quaiters, Eastern Department, Monticello (Ga.), July 17, .1825. GENTLEMEN—Contain Triplett will hand to you a copy of Major-General Gaines's letter to Governor Troup of the 10th i nst., which the General requests you to insert in your paper. The object of giving publicity to this letter, at this time, is to counteract certain'fals.c and infamous reports concerning the adjustment of Indian difficulties, calculated to deceive the pub lic, and aggravate the misfortunes of these helpless and deluded beings, who evince a disposition to re-unite their destiny, and to comply with the wishes of the General Government. Very respectfully your obedient Servant, E. G. W. BUTLER, Aide-de-Camp. Ileatl-quarters, Eastern Department, Flint River, July 10, J 825. SlR—The excessive heat of the. weather; added to the many inconveniences and interruptions which I have daily encoun tered in the course of my visit to the Creek nation, has deprived me of the pleasure of writing to your Excellency as often, or as fully, as I have been 4.lesirous of doing. Ihave now the honour, without entering into details that could afford but little interest, to communicate to you the re sult of my conferences with the Indians. After meeting in this State the .Chiefs of the 11P - Intosh party, and at Broken Arrow those of the opposite party, and hearing their respective statements, with the evidence for and against each I:irty - ,I have urged them to an adjustment of .differences, to which they have mutually assented. The Wlntosh party demanded retaliation for their fallen chiefs, with the immediate restoration of property taken or de stroyed. Their demands were founded on the Bth article of the Treaty of February last, which promises on our part, pro tection to " the emigrating party" against the Whites and all others; which party they (the followers of General IVl‘lntosii) astunne themselves exclusively to be. Whether this provision of the Treaty was or was not intend ed to protect the Creek Indians against themselves, or to pro tect a comparatively small party of them against the main body of the nation, were questions which I was happily not called upon to decide ; as in the event of hostilities having subsided, my instructions simply required me to make peace upon just principles, and to require the complainants, as well as the op posing party, to abstain from acts of retaliation or violence. The reputed hostile party consists of all the principal chiefs, and of nearly forty-nine fiftieths of the whole of the chiefs, head-men, and warriors of the nation, among whom I recogniz ed many who were in our service during the:late war, and who, to my certain knowledge, have been for 20 years past (and I think they have at all times) as friendly to the United Sates as any of our Indian neighbours could have been known to be. I met them at l3roken Arrow, the usual place of holding the Great Council of the Nation ; I could not, therefore, but view_ this supposed hostile party . aF, in fact and in truth, the Creek` nation, and altogether free of the spirit of hostility ascribed to them. I have received from them, in Council assembled, the most deliberate assurance of their determination to be peace-- able and friendly towards their absent people, as well as towards the United States. They regretted the necessity which, they contend, existed for the strong measures they adopted against' General M'lntosh and others, who, they affirm, forfeited and lost their lives, by having violated a well known la* of the na tion. They have engaged to restore all property taken, and to pay for all that has been destroyed contraty to law—and they have promised to.allow a reasonable time for'those who have borrowed and run off with money out of their national treasury, to reimburse the same. The Council strongly and unanimously objected to the late Treaty, as the offspring of fraud, entered into contrary to the known law and determined will of the nation, and by persons not authorised to treat. ,They refused to receive any part of the consideration money due under the. Treaty, or to give any other evidence of their acquiescence in it. in conclusion, they expressed a hope that their white friends would pity their deplorable condition, and would do ,them the justice to reconsider, and " undo that which had been wrongfully done." I have, pursuant to my instructions from the. Department of 'War, endeavoured to convince the Council, but without success of the fallacy of their objec tions to the Treaty, and to . dissipate their delusive hopes that it can ever be anulled. I have assured them that, in all our treaties with the Powers of Europe, as well as with near fifty Indian nations, there has not been one instance, to my knowledge, of a treaty having been revoked or annulled, after being duly ratified, except by the free consent of all the • parties to it, or by war. I yesterday-met in Council, near J. Marshall's ferry, the Chiefs of the 11PIntosh party, and communicated to them the proposition of the Council at Broken Arrow, to which they have acceded. They promised to return to their homes as soon as they are advised of the arrival of the United States' troops ordered • from 1-ouisiane. and Pensacola to the Creek Agency at Chattahoochy. ' The Chiefs of both parties have distinctly and solemnly assur ed me that they will remain at peace with each other; and that they will in no case raise an arm against •the citizens of the United States. Under these circumstances, it is my duty to notify to your EXcellency, that there will be no occasion for calling into service any part of the militia or volunteers 'of the State over which you reside. The certificate, of which I inclose herewith a copy, marked A, added to the declarations of the Chiefs in Council, of whom Joseph Marshall was the principal and interpreter, prove that your Excellency has been greatly deceived, in supposing the M‘lntosh party ever consented to the survey of the ceded terri tory being commenced before the time set forth in the, treaty for their removal.. This fact giving altogether a new aspect to the subject of 'the proposed survey of the land, added to a strong conviction• on my mind, that the attempt to make the surveys would be a positive violation of the treaty, and will, under ex isting cause 9 axeitement, be certain to produce acts of viOl,ence upon the persohs or property of unofiending /ndians, who,we are boliod to protect, it becomes my duty to remonstrate against the surveys being commenced until the Indians shall have re moved agreeably to the t rea ty. I cannot doubt that th e f ac t s disclosed by,the accompanying certificate, with the concurrent testimony of the Chiefs in Council, will induce your Excellency, without hesitation, to abandon the project of surveying the land, before the month of September, 1826. This will be .particularly gratifying to me, as it will relieve me of the painful duty of acting not in concert with .the vene rated authorities of an enlightened and patriotic member of the United States , to whom I stand pledged by every principle of hono ur , and under the solemnity of an oath, to serve them honestly and faithfully.

MANSION-IJOUSET=A --- gentieman,ale; days ago, came to the Mansion-house to request his Lordship's attention to a case which appeared to him to be one that had a strong claim upon humanity. He stated4hat he had observed a young female, of very interesting appearance, in great affliction as she passed along die streets. He had seen her three or four times before, and learn ed that some men of fashion, who are daily on the prowl to get into their possession objects of attraction.of this kind, had in vain endeavoured to succeed with her. This circumstance induced to address her, when 'he saw the tears rolling down her cheeks ; and when she perceived that his motive was ,a kind one, she did not heSitate to state to him the cause of her dis •tress. She said her parents had once been in a very respect able and prosperous condition, and carried on business in the fancy if mming line in the parish of Cripplegate until the year 11i10, when the change in the fashions completely checked the trade. Her father's health sunk under his efforts to support a family, consisting of 13 children, and he died, afterglingering upwards of three years in a consumption, 12 months ago. From being able to employ 39 hands, her mother was now reduced to extreme distress, and she herself had just learned at a house at Charing-cross, here she .used to get occasional employnlent, that there was no further occasion for her services. How to communicate this information to her unfortunate parent she did not know. There were six younger children . than herself, to whose support she mainly contributed, and there was no labour•she would not be -willing to undertake to relieve their -unhappy condition. The LORD MAYOR said.the case was, indeed, a very painful one, and as the young female was a person of - so much sensi bility, it was more than probable if the distresses of the family increased, that she would -.resort to the worst extremity rather than see them perishing around her. His Lordship then- re quested that the gentleman who communicated to hint the cir cumstances of the case would make the necessary inquiry, as he would not have any objection to take'.the,person described as children's-maid into his own family. The inquiry was made, and the statement found to be correct in every respect. His Lordship's humane offer was mostgrate fully felt, but the girl's constitution was found-to be so feeble, that to expect her to be able to perform the duties of her situa tion would be absurd. • The LORD MAYOtt learned from her mother that she had been , obliged to apply to the parish for assistance, and that the workhouse, after many years of respectability, appeared .to be her only refuge. His Lordship said his efforts should not be wanting on the occasion. He would make the facts known to some worthy men of .his acquaintance, whose chief delight it was to do good, and he doubted not.a favourable result .of his application. . . STEAM VESSELS. Yesterday Mr. Hall, the agent of the London and Ramsgate Steam-boat Company, accompanied by several of the Directors, and by .Captain Martin, waited upon the lord Mayor, for the purpose of contradicting a statement which was made before his Lordship some days ago. The position of the steam-boatand of the boat in which the complainant's family were, and which was upset, was explained at great length. The circumstance was declared to have been purely accidental, occasioned by a lighter, which threw the boat in the way of the steam vessel, and thereby caused the disaster. As to the assertion that the vessel was going at the rate of lu miles an hour, any one who said such a thing was quite igonr ant of the rate at which steam vessels proceeded. Captain Martin declared, that his steam-vessel could not be made to go more than 9.miles an hour even with the tide. Mr. Hall said, that at the time the accident happened, the vessel was .not going more than six miles an hour.; and he also begged to state that the Directors had given orders to the captains of their vessels to regulate their speed according to the rate fixed by his Lordship. In fact, they went generally at a rate below that prescribed. The.complainant had reason to be very much obliged to Captain „Mardi:, who plunged into the paddle.box' to get out one of the children . This fact rendered it pretty evident that the paddles could not have been going at the time, as had been stated. . Thelon.° illAYott said he had dismissed the complain ant's case, because he had no power to interfere in it ; but as the complainant was now absent, he did not see that they got any nearer to.the ...truth by those, statements. The complain ant, if present, might contradict the whole of it. It was mere statement against statement, and as he could not examine the witnesses upon oath, nothing could be derived from any further investigation. It was inentioned,that the highest rate at which the wheels.of a steam-engine were made to go was 24 rotations in a minute. MR. MARTIN'S ACT. 'Bow- STREET.—Yesterday John Peale, the ttell.coachman who was accused by the witnesses brought .by Mr. Martin on 'Thursday, with being the man whO was guilty of acts of cruelty to a horse in the Strand on Saturday night last, ap peared again before Mr. Mists"' cm., as 'did %Vella, the man originally summoned. Peate produced as ,his witnesses, to prove his entire innocence, Mr. Sanson, a gentleman residing in Bryanstone-square, and a waterman who attended a coach stand. inAdam-street, Portman -square. The latter swore that Peate was on the stand mentioned from five minutes past six till 20 minutes: before seven on-Saturday evening, - and Mr. San son said thathe hired his coach at that titne.to take him and his family to the Haymarket Theatre, and he waited to bring them back when the performances were over.—Upon this evidence Mr. Martin consented to withdraw the information, and the case was dismissed. Peate.complained bitterly of the loss of time, and other inconveniences he had-suffered by being falsely accused. AMMO THE TABLES TURNED. HAT T ow-GARDE N.--Yesterday 'Nicholas TVard, a person of genteel appearance, residing at No. 67, Hatton•garden, was brought up by John .Pick worth, an occasional night-constable' of that Liberty. Pickworth deposed that as he was on Thurs day morning, at about one o'clock, passing the corner of Cross street, Hatton-garden, the prisoner and another person whistled and shouted in the jockey or groom style • upon which he turned round and asked them whether they took him for a horse, they replied that they did not, but proceeded.to.call him by very op probrious epithets,; in consequence of which he gave them into the charge of the constable of the night, by whom one of them was released, ,there being no actual proof of his having offended the delicate .ears of the " occasional" night constable to the same extent as his boisterous companion, who now stood before Mr. Sergeant SELLot: to answer this very serious charge of ", whistling and hooting." Pickworth was proceed-, ing in a very animated strain to expose his own grievances, and what he considered to be a breach of the publicpeace, accord-' ing to the opinions lately laid down, when he , was interrupted by Mr. Sergeant SELLON, and desired to state whether the de-. fendant had struck him. To this he replied that he certainly had not committed such an outrage, but that his conduct alto gether was of a description which rendered his apprehension proper, and perfectly within the limits of what he (Pickworth) conceived to be the legal authority of the guardians of the night. The defendant when called, upon met the charge with an abso lute denial of the facts, and.stated. that.Pickworth alone was the aggressor, he having, without cause or provocation, assailed him with very virulent language,at a moment when he was in ear nest conversation with his friend, alaw-stationer, relative to some property in Norfolk, of which he was about to dispose, and that, so far from his having made any noise, the tone in which they conversed was so low, that it seas impossible fora person to distinguish what they said at a distance of three, feet. The defendant further stated, that the conduct of Pickworth, in interrupting their conversation, and using virulent lan guage, was such.as to induce him to threaten to put him into the watch-house, upon which Pickworth retorted a similar threat, and put it into execution against himself and his friend. To corroborate this statement, Mr. Ward called his friend, the law stationer, who confirmed it in every point," - with the simple admission of their having, in.the heat of the moment, called Pickworth a humbug. Mr. Serjeant SEL LON here observed, that Pickworth had not been justified in his conduct : towards the Defendant, and that he was bound to offer the most ample apology to Mr. Ward, as it was not to be supposed that a constable could be justined in confining a person upon such a charge. Even had the language been brought home to the defendant, and the words " fool and scoundrel," than :which nothing could be more opprob:ious, been used,. ther e st ill wou ld not h ave b een gr ound for the arrest and imprisonment. Mr. Ward hastily interrupted Mr. Sergeant Sellon, to ob serve that he did not consider the dismissal of the constable with a mere reprimand as a sufficient atonement for the out rage which had been inflicted upon his personal liberty, and that he would 'assuredly carry the matter further ; but upon the Learned Magistrate advising him to accept the apology and let the matter rest, he agreed to do so, provided it was .offered in the course of the day. MELANCHOLY CASE—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
