THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR, BY J. V. DOUVILLE, PROFESSOR OF TUE FRENCH LANGUAGE, No. 1, Soho-square, near the Bazaar; and 2, Lawrence-lane, Cheapside, London, 1827. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —The French Language being usually learnt with a view to conversation, a Grammar which would afford the Student an opportunity of acquir• ing a collection of phrases necessary for converse. tion, while he gradually attains a thorough know ledge of the elementary principles of the language, could not fail to prove eminently set k;:,:ble. Such is the consideration by which I have been influenced in presenting the public with this new production. My grand object has been to render the speaking of French as easy and familiar to English persons, as if they studied in Paris. To accomplish this great de sideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse. By construing them into French, the pupil will not only store his mind with useful expressions, but he will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the Grammatical technicalities of the language. This is of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for, unless the learner is properly trained up in the prac tical part, he will never be able to hold the least dis course w►th a native of France, although he may be a proficient in the theory of the language. The na ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited in quite a new and clear manlier, and , the remarks on pro nunciation are collected from the present practice of the fashionable circles in Paris. The work is con cluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Versification; besides a classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of compliment and business. .In the execution of the whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a prominent feature ; and I flatter myself this Gram mar will be found peculiarly adapted to the capacity of the generality of learners, being divided ►nto sixty easy lessons and essays, which will prove no less instructive than agreeable. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, London, Nov. 16, 1827. J. V. DOUVILLE. P.S. A Key to the EssayS is just published. [We have carefully examined this Key to Mr. Douville's excellent Grammar, and can safely affirm that it is exe cuted with much fidelity and spirit. It forms a very useful accompauirnent . to the Grammar, rendering it com petent for those who choose to be self-taught in die French language, to make themselves masters of it without the assistance of a teacher. As such, we have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Douville's Grammar and Key as being the best calculated for speaking French, which we have hitherto seen. ]—EDITOR. A gentleman residing in this town informs us that on the day when Lisbon was destroyed by - the earth quake, a person whom he knew was in ..Shoreham Har bour, in a barge, which lay at some distance from the edge of the water. In a moment he was astonished to find it afloat, hat it again was left as suddenly dry by the reflux of the waters, and higher up than before. From this cir cumstance he considers it not unlikely that the recent phe nomenon of a similar kind, which has been observed en the Kentish coast, was connected with a like convulsion of 1 nature in some part of the globe.—Brighton Paper. LITERATURE. ANCIENT ENGLISH FICTIONS. DOCTOR FAUSTUS THE. CONJUROR. • London, pp. 138. Doctor Faustus is a name well known to the devourers of German and English romance. He was a student of .Wittenburg, who took to astro logical and theological studies (in which he sur passed all his cotemporaries) somewhere about the middle of the 16th century. Not content with this dangerous supremacy, lie must needs study the black art ; but as in those ticklish times, it was first necessary to take . out k license for conjuration in the High Court of Tophet, the Doctor was compelled to have recourse to the Devil's attorney, Mephistophiles, who, on con. , sideration of.his signing over his soul and body to Beelzebub, granted him letters patent of p re _ cedence as a conjuror. This was the only slip poor Vaustils made during a long and . eod-natured easy bustling He was a g fellow, fong of, horse-racing,, fun, and. frolic much given to fe male society, warmly attached to his friends; devoted to literature, and no con temptible poet. The present volume, from which we have deduced these . facts, sets out with an amusing detail of the Doctor's early life in which there was nothing remarkable, except that at sixteen he 'was as illiterate as at six months old.. He scion, however, made amends for this ignorance, and acquired information so rapidly, that at twenty-four years. of age he was a first-rate classic, a capital mathematician, an ac complished talker, and as good a dancer as the late Rev. Mr. Maturin. It was just at this pe riod when " he had gat himself a name for much good learnynge," that he one day walked into a wood near Wittenberg (now, we fear, enclosed), and, after a few preliminary exorcisms, conjured tjp the Devil, who forthwith appeared before 'inn in the disguise of a Grey Friar. Their in terview is thus detailed : " Presently the devil began so great a rumour in the wood, as if heaven and eart would have come together, with wind, and trees bowed their tops to the ground, then fell the devil to roar, as if the whole wood had been full of lyons, and suddenly about the circle run the devil, as if a thousand waggons had been running together on paved stones : after this, at the four corners of the wood it thun. deed horribly, with such lightning, 'as the whole world to his seeming had been on fire. Faustus all this while, half amazed at the devil's so long tarrying, and doubting whe ther he were best to abide, any More such horrible conjur ings, thought to leave his circle, and depart, whereupon the devil made him such tnusick of all sorts, as if the nymphs themselves had been in- the place : whereat .Faus tus revived, and stood stoutly in his circle, expecting his purpose, and began again to conjure the spirit Mephisto philes in the name of the Prince of Devils, to appear in his likeness ; whereat suddenly, over his head hung hovering in the air a mighty dragon; then calls Faustus again after his devilish manner, at which there was a monstrous cry in the wood, as if hell had been open, and all the torment ed 'souls cursing their condition., Presently, not three fathom above his head, fell a flame in manner of lightning, and changed itself into a globe; yet Faustus feared it not, but did persuade himself that the devil should give him his request before he would leave. . Oftentimes after to his companions he would boast that be had the stoutest head under the.cope of heaven at command. 'Whereat they an swered, " They knew no stouter than the Pope or Eui peror." But Dr. Faustus said, " The bead that is my servant, is abo ve non earth ;" and repea t e d certain - wiirds of St. Paul to the Ephesians;:to make his argument good, " The Prince of the World is upon earth and under heaven." Well, let us come again to his conjuration where we left him at the fiery globe Faustus vexed at his spirit's so long tarrying, used his charms', with full pur pose not to depart before he had his intent ; and crying on Mephistophiles the spirit, suddenly the glob e Opened, and sprung up in the height of a man, so burning a time, in the end it converted to the shape of a fiery man. This plea sant beast ran about the circle a great while, and lastly, appeared in the manner of a Gray Fryer, asking Faustus, what was his request? Faustus commanded, that the next morning at twelve of the clock he should appear to him.at his house." Punctual to his appointment, Satan—or rather Mephistophiles—next day made Isis ap pearance ; on which Faustus candidly told him, that his request was none other but to become a devil, or, at the least, a limb of him !" Me phistophiles replied that he would make him free of Tophet, provided that, in return, he would give him a promissory-note for his soul and body payable on demand one hour after death. To this the wicked Doctor, wrapt up in " his devilish cogitations," gave an immediate assent, and was forthwith introduced by his visitor into Pandemonium, as a free and an accepted devil; on which the author exclaims—" thus the spirits and Faustus were agreed, and dwelt together; no doubt there was a virtuous housekeeping." In a few months afterwards the Doctor, beginning to tire of single bles sedness, " bethought him of a spouse ;" but, on hinting his intentions to Mephis tophilcs was told that if ha dared to persist in such folly lie should be torn into " divers pieces?' He therefore wisely eschewed all further thoughts of matrimony, but gave himself up in stead to visiting Heaven and Hell, in company with his obsequious Familiar, who every now and then gave him a sly rub on the score of his ill judged, bargain, assuring him, on the honour of a gentleman, that when his appointed hour was arrived, the devil would not fail to come -in state and fetch hurl home. Having sufficiently acquainted himself with the nature of the thing above and- the things beneath him, our worthy Doctor next turned his atten tion to the different European Comts, each of which he visited successively as a travelling con juror. In one place he cut off the head of an English Ambassador at Vienna (this is not the only instance we have known of an English Am bassador at Vienna being without a head,) in another he bolted a waggon load of hay at a mouthful: in Bavaria he pawned his right leg to a Jew for money, and then summoned him to Bow -street for the larceny ; at, Wittenberg he sacrilegiously made free with the Bishop of Salisbury 's wine cellar, and stuck the butler head-downwards on the top of an elm-tree ; in Constantinople he locked the Grand Seignor out ,f his own Seraglio, and pa id his addresses to his nine hundred wives during his absence ; at Rome lie transported himself invisibly into the Pope's State dinner-room, saluted his Holi ness with a tweak of the nose of remarkable energy (for which Messrs. Shiell and O'Connell will, no doubt, execrate his memory, the Doctor being a staunch Protestant), and not satisfied with this insult, had the audacity to drink off his Holiness's choicest wine, and floor the two Cardinals who stood near him. At the Court of Auhalt he conjured up some grapes for the Queen, who was, "as ladies wish to be who love their lords," and was in consequence offered a pension which he declined (the Marquis of ----- Londonderry, has generously followed his ex ample) : at Munich, in Bavaria, he prevailed upon a roasted calves-head to cry out murder, and lastly, by way of finale, called up the spirit of Helen, who seems by the description given of her to have possessed rather more flesh and blood than usually. falls to the lot of apparitions. He wrought, says our author, "divers other marvels," the least of which would put the Indian Jugglers to the blush—after which, having nothing more to do, he made his will, and began seriously to pre pare himself for his latter end. Mephistophiles, however, adroitly contrived to prevent him relaps ing too deeply into religion, and precis - ely as the Wittenburg Church clock struck midnight (the Doctor's allotted twenty-four years having duly expired) bore him off to Tophet in the shape of a Barbary ape, much to the astonishment of an old lady who was purchasing some castor oil at an apothecary's shop, right • opposite. " Ani thus" concludes our quaint but amusing old author, ". ended. the whole history of Doctor Faustus, .bis conjurations and other acts that he • did in his life, out of which example every Christian may,learn, but 'chiefly, the stiff-necked, to fear Gon, and be careful of their vocation, and to be at defiance with all devilish works ; and not to invite the Devil as a guest nor give him place, as that wicked Faustus bath done." We would not wish to weaken the effects of this impressive moral by any additions of our own ; so setting all further homily aside, we will merely say a word or two on the literary peculiarities of the present volume. Its style, though quaint, is remarkably pure and vigor ous, occasionally in its supernatural descrip tions, rising to something not unlike sublimity. Its display of learning, too, is far from con temptible ; and in its few comic scenes, there is a brisk and lively spirit, which, though purposely kept down, proves that our author had the true Rabelaisian leaven about him. Add to this a strong earnest simplicity (for throughout his nar rative he seems convinced that he is relating a fact), and the reader will be at no loss to con ceive, that " the life of Dr. Faustus" must be richly amusing, even in its most deplorable ab surdities. We should not omit to state that Marlowe has drawn his comic scenes (the mag nificent tragic one is all his own) from its pages ; Goethe, the first crude idea of his unique Me phistophiles, and Maturin, the account of Mel moth's last midnight interview with Juan di Moncada, in Ireland. We have merely to add, that the book is a translation from the German, published in England somewhere about the year 1596; and now for the first time re-published. IRELAND.—DumAN, Nov. 19. TZTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A ROMAN CATHOLIC • PRIEST. This day the Rev. Joseph Murphy, a respectable Catholic clergyman, and principal of a very thriving seminary at Drumcondra, near Dublin, was brought up to the head office .of police in custody, having yesterday evening been arrested upon a warrant from the Mayor of Drogheda, charged with appropriating to his own use certain debentures lodged in his .hands by a Widow lady in that.town. The warrant was grounded upon the information of Mrs. Mary Holmes, widow lady, of Drogheda, who swore, that some years since Messrs. James and G. Metcalf, of that town, had purchased for her a number of deben tures,--that upon their decease the whole of these debentures, with an account of their disposal and investment, were handed over to herself. She fur ther stated, that the Rev. Mr. Murphy, who then resided in Drogheda, enjoyed a considerable pertion of her confidence, and that under these circum stances she handed over to him the whole of her debentures, in amount 44,000/.; desiring him to have the property invested in her name, and to employ the interest receivable upon them in the purchase of more debentures for her. This occurred in the end of 1819, or the commencement of 1820. From that period, according to her statement, down to April last, the Rev. Mr. Murphy continued to receive the interest on these debentures, and always reported to her that he was acting faithfully according to her di rections. She further swore that from time to time in this interval, he called upon, and received from her various sius, which he stated were necessary to add to the interesLof the debentures, for the pur pose of purchasing more, and he always told her that the 44;0001. were invested in her name. On the 4th of April last she swore that she applied to him for half a year's interest, and that he refused to comply with her application. Thereupon she de sired a relation of her s, an attorney named Connor, land the prosecutor in this instance, to go to the Bank of Ireland, where Mr. Murphy had stated that the debentures were invested in the 5 per Cents., and endeavour to trace them. He did so accordingly, and upon examination, found in October, 1819, there appeared five debentures invested in her name in the I, 5 per Cent. securities: but that none since had been added to them. It appeared further, that these had been subsequently sold out, and she swore that the 'transfer was effected without her knowledge or con sent. On the contrary, she believed that up to that time the money was regularly standing ia he name in the 5 per Cents. Upon this information, coupled with those of two others, the Mayor of Drogheda (Mr. Huey) issued a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Murphy. This was transmitted to the head office of police in Dublin, where it was backed dandd given to two officers for execution. They proceee yesterday afternoon for Drumcondra, where hey suc ceeded in taking the prisoner in to custody, veyed him to this office. In the mean time, he t and con comMunicatetl with his friends, and several most re spectable gentlemen attended at the office this day for the purpose of tendering bail. Messrs. O'CoriNELL and SHILL were in attend ance for the prisoner, and contended that the war rant, which was under the 52d of the late King, was materially defective in many instances. It appeared to be a most loose one, not stating that the deben tures were intrusted to Mr. Murphy for any specific purpose; further, it did not allege that they were not at present in the Bank ; it omitted to state whe ther the debentures had been given to the prisoner by this lady, who was, it was stated, upwards of 90 years old, and in a state of dotage ; nor did it state that he had appropriated them to his own use. The Magistrates said, if such a defective warrant had come before them in the first instance, they would have declined to act on it. Mr. O'CoNNEI added, that the whole prosecu tion would turn out a speculation which he should not characterize. The old lady had, from his ear liest years, adopted the Rev. Gentleman, treated him with the utmost kindness, and actually given these debentures to him for himself. She had now made a will to that effect. The Magistrates required two sureties as bail, in the sum of 2,500/: each, for the prisoner's attend ance at the next Drogheda Assizes to stand his trial, which was immediately tendered and accepted. This affair has excited considerable interest in LAW NOTICES. COURT OF KI MIDDLESEX SF MONDAY, [NG'S BENCH. 'ECIAL JURIES. DEC. 10. Rex. v. Coppard - Rex. v. Nelson Rex. v. Bradstreet Grant v.

WORC BSTER, Nov. 21.—0 n Saturday 217 pockets were weighed in our market ; the last quoted prices were fully maintained. As some workmen were lowering the hill at Redcross, near Kenford, they discovered in the ditch, by the side of the lane leading . to Dawlish, a human sk e l e t on , which, from 'the position of the bones, indicated that the body must have been buried in a Very hurried manner ; and as it was only two feet under the surface of the sand, it is very probable that some unfmtunate being was mur dered and buried in the lane, which is very lonely. Since the finding of the body, the workmen have been scared out of their wits, and would not for the world let night overtake them near the spot. -Bath Chronicle. ST. JAMES'S-PARK.—The planting of the trees and shrubs intended to adorn St. James's-Park,. com menced yesterday morning on the north side of the canal. A number of men are employed at this occupation, and about 2,000 trees and shrubs have been already planted, consisting of almost every description, which are brought from the gardens at Kew. The mould excava t e d by the enlargement of the canal, of which th e raised mounds con sist, is of a very rich nature, and there is no doubt but the shrubberies will thrive in the most luxuriant manner. The workmen have also commenced oil the south side, to get the ground ready for planting by the time the north side is finished. The whole of th e planting is expected to be co mpleted in a month. Th e i ro n paling, down to the centre of the Bird-cage Walk, is nearly finished, and the new road cutting from Storey's -gate to his Alaiesty's Palace, was completed yesterday, and the whole is now gravelled. • • • ' 1 -j s' f I i tkt . bi i rktU rlttllCE: THT Al.v to .

To this informat ion t he d ef endan t pleaded certain documents called clearing-warrants, which he contended were in the nature of a-final settlement of his accounts with the Crown. The plea was ex cepted to, and overruled by the Court, but with liberty to the defendant to amend, giving him a l so permission to have access to certain accounts, papers, and documents in the War-office, for the purpose of • enabling him to prepare his defence. The defendant, ' accordingly, amended his former plea, by adding t o it certain information which he drew from the papers in the War-office; and this amended plea being also excepted to, the case came on for argument on a former day in this term, and stood over for a further affidavit in supporeof it. The Comm to-day, after hearing' Mr: HENRY BROUGHAM on the part of the Crown, and •Massrs. JERVIS and MILLER for the defendant again over ruled the plea as still insuf fi cient. {'• 'HE PRISONERS COMPREHENDED IN THE-LAST REPORT MADE BY THE RECORDER. .tiov. 19. • It was fully expected some time before the last report was made, that Bushell, who was convicted the Session before last of stealing in the shop of Mr. • Ely, of Soho-square, a gold watch, would have suf fered the extreme penalty of the law ;_and up to the i moment the report was brought down, all the friends . of Jeremiah Sullivan, convicted of highway robbery, Were positive that it was ridiculous to entertain a hope for that prisoner. ' The latter . convict was so firmly: persuaded his end was, approaching, .that he , actually invited all his acquaintancet to +attend at his execution; and. had, -prepared tq meet - :the expected intelligence-With the . air of:af Maivatholcoasted rather than shunned death. •Whfinttold'thas! , hie:Majesty-, had spared his life i rhis resolatiammompletely sham- - doned him, and he dropped bathe ground hi tairfeet, insensibility. ' Bushell, a sketch of. whoke extnor7 dinary career we subjoin, and who had been. given to understand, a few days before the report. was : : made, that he was merely to cross the water, had, , of course, to contend with no violent feeling of the kind. He received the communication with grati- _ rude, bet without surprise. Three petitions .had been sent in to the Secretary of State in his favour, one of which was signed by Mr. Rothachild,•Mr.l3aring, and all the other merchants of great eminence in the . metropolis. Soon after the report came down, he received the following note from Keating, one of ' his unfortunate companions in prison:— . " Dear Mr. Bushell—We have taken the liberty of writing to you, if you will be so kind as to collect a small trifle for Edward Lowe, John Keating, and Charles Smith, for to get us a pint of beer before we part this world, and we shall ever be obliged to you. '•For Mr. Bushell, North-yard." John Benjamin Bushell is now about 24 years of age. He was born in Limerick, and is the nephew of John Bushell, Esq., formerly of an eminent house in the city. He was expected, and he was brOught up on the expectation that he would be the heir to his uncle's property, which was at one time sup posed to be immense. He received, his education, up to the age of. 13, at Carshalton-school, from whence he was sent to Lisbon, where there was a branch-of the concern, and received an allnwances— The house in London failed, and as his resources in Lisbon failed with it, and he could not 'endure the comparative slavery of a mere clerkship; he left the' latter place at the age of 1.5, and went over to Ireland,' where he lived for some time with his mother ; but he soon acted in such a manner as disgusted all his friends. He was, indeed, so completely abandoned by hia.relations, that at 17 he was obliged to take the benefit of the insolve nt act for 51., a debt - which he had contracted with .a tailor. He had often wished to try the stage ',as he is an admirable-rmisi clan, and after he had been discharged from' po son . he determined to exhibit before 'the public. He carnal to London in 1819, and was introduced to Mr, T. Walsh,. to whom he became ~a , pupil, and who had the highest opinion of diis powers ,and taste. He ROOD afterwards got an engagement at -one, of 'the principal theatres, and. the newspapers had already begun to paragraph him, as a" Nonpareit,"• but the time between the commencement of his 'salary and the agreement being 'considerable, 'anti Wripdelt — et being empty,an accident befell' him which dektrOyed his prospects in the theatrical way. 'He 'not only contrived to . borrow ' 501. upon. the strength of his _engagement, but obtained three piano fortes, which he immidiately afterwards pawned, After this expose he went to Paris, where he con trived to get into the service of Sheriff Parkins, as valet de place. He, however, stole the Sheriff's gold watch, * for which iie was imprisoned" three years in the Pelagic. In 1826 he obtained his libe ration, and became acquainted with a ' Frenchman, one of the greatest judges and p urloiners of dia -1 m wi o t n h d h s i i m n t i h n e F w ra h n o c le e, c h o e un n tr e y v , er an s d tol ‘ e vh a i n le y , connec t ed but.ected substance his four th callet i finger diamonds. T a he el F am re m nc y hm ad an be i s is i e v ( e l to sub ti " Terebinthine de Venice ;" and while - he painted at any particular diamond 'amongst those laid before him with his fore-finger, he contrived to touch an -1 other with the " terebinthine," and 'drop 'it down his sleeve. Upon one occasion he carried out of a jeweller's shop between 4001. sac: '5OOl. , worth of jewels. He used also to tip a cane, which had a hole in the top, with the same stuff, and he always succeeded in conveying away something extremely valuable which stood at a little distance from the counter. Bushell believed for some, time than the Frenchman' made a fair division•of the.spoil 'with him, but from what he afterwards heardsfissm Some of the London Jewellers,' Whossiere:plundered by both, the Frenchman used to sack three-fourths at least. In the course of their-dealings svith some of the London jewellers, they found that. the mode of getting business adopted was not ver y creditable to the shopkeepers. The Frenchman had two despe rate fellows whil e lie was in Paris in his service , 'bu t w h e n a grande role, as it was called, was to be played , Bushell was appointed to act the principal character. He often passed as a Spanish Nobleman, and was prese n t at the coronation of the Emperor Nicholas at. St. Petersburgh, where he and the Frenchman picked tip a great deal of money. They found, little diffi culty in abstracting jewels from the English jewel lers, but they found a French diamond,seller, whose eyes were so quick, and whose .suspicions were so much alive, that even the unrivalled Frenchman came off foiled. This persevering fellow, however, determined to rob the shopkeeper, . and he gave or ders to the two assistants to whom we beige alluded to be in readiness. The jeweller kept his, diamonds regularly marshalled in a pincushion,which he used to hold 'up to the eyes of his customers, whose hands were not allowed to approach it. His inge nuity was beaten out by force and.manceuyre com bined. One of the assistants, by,the Frenchman's ' direction, stood at the door with a piece of strong whipcord, - while the other went into the shop, the door of which . instantly closed, and asked to see some diamonds. The brilliant pincushion 'was pro duced, The Frenchman, who stood at the other side of the street, gave the signal ; the fellow who stood at the door suddenly opened. it, and cried out aloud "Ha I"--the jeweller started back—the 'pin on bd t hre e bere r was y u or com mitted 0 this. omlir.. pin cushion instantly changed hands and disappeared, and the plundered owner found that the latch of his door was tied down with the whipcord, and that he must get through the window to follow the thieves. is known to be enormous.
