PARTIES baying Claims against JAMES CRUIKSHANK, Esq., of Langley Park, who have not hitherto lodged same with Mr. Robertson, accountant, 11, Gloucester-plaae, Edinburgh, are requested now to do so within one month from this date. Edinburgh, 10th August, 1820. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION On Saturday morning, at eleven o'clock, an in quisition was commenced before Mr. STIRLING, Co roner, and a highly respectable jury, at the Gate house in the Hampstead-road, on view of the body 'of Miss Catherine Cashin, who, it was alleged, had died in consequence of the treatment which she' rt.- ceived at the hands of Mr. St. John Long, a person residing in Harley-street, Cavendish-square, profess ing to be a medical practitioner. The investigation excited the deepest interest in the neighlkurbood ; and the feeling of anxiety that existed was by no means lessened by the circumstance of the sister of the above-named young lady, who was also a pa tient of the same person, having died on Saturday morning, a few hours only before the Coroner arid Jury assembled. A solicitor took his seat at the Cnrener's table, and stated, in answer to a question from the Court, that he' attended for a party very deeply interested in the inquiry. Mrs. Mary. Ann Roddis, a lady-like and extremely intelligent woman, was called in and sworn, and gave the following statement, which was interrupted at intervals by the agitation of the witness :—I re side at No. 32, Mornington-place, Hampstead-road, and am a married woman. My husband is a wine merchant. I knew the deceased about two months. She and her mother and sister lodged in my house. When I first knew the deceased she was in perfect health, and she continued so until about 10 or 11 days ago. Yesterday (Friday) week I was re quested by the deceased's mother to accompany her daughter to Mr. Long's, in Harley-street, and to state the fears she had respecting the wound in the deceased's back. I complied with Mrs. Cashin's request, and accompanied the deceased, and. saw Mr. Long, and drew his attention to the state of her back. He looked at it, and said it was precisely as he wished it to be. The next thing I can state is, that on Saturday morning I was called up to the apartment of the deceased, and found her in the greatest agony. I then looked at the back. Need I state, Sir, the appearance of the back, and the opinion I formed ? The CORONER—You may state any fact, but I will not ask you to give any opinion. Witness—lt is impossible for me to describe here the state of her back minutely. It was in a very violent state of inflammation, and she was troubled with unceasing sickness. In the afternoon of the same day I wrote, in Mrs. Cashin's name, to Mr. Long, requesting his immediate attendance. He came between five and six o'clock in the evening, then looked at Miss Cashin'a back, and said he thought it was in a very good state, and that he would give 100 guineas if he could produce a similar wound upon the person of some of his patients. I pointed out one particular spot upon her back, and asked him what could cause its appearance ; and he said it was in consequence of inhaling, which was a part of his system, and unless those appearances were produced, he could expect no beneficial result. He thee inquired what I had done, and I told him I had applied a poultice, and given a saline draught to allay the irritation of her stomach. He said I could not have done better, and that he should make no alteration. I then begged him to order something that would allay the irritation of the stomach and bowels. He said it was of no consequence, as that irritation was the effect produced by his system, and it would be of ultimate benefit to her. I then begged that he would at least give her a composing draught, to which he replied that a tumbler of mulled port wine was a better composing draught than all the doctors in the world could make, for that he hated the very name of physic. I objected to this, but he insisted on it being given. I gave her a wine g l ass f u ll, wh i ch was immediately re jected by the stomach. By Mr. Long's permission I continued the poultices, but she gradually got worse. On Sunday morning last he came again, and said that doubtless I knew better the state of the wound than he did, because I constantly applied the poultices. On removing the poultice on this occa sion, I again pointed to the dark spot in the wound, and he said that probably there would be a number of boils come out, and that it was what he wished to produce ; and that she was going on as well as he could possibly wish. I then named the ex hausted stale of the patient, and again pressed his at tention to the sickness, as well as did th e d ecease d' s mother. H e sa id be had a remedy with him, but that he would not apply it then, because he rather liked the sickness than otherwise. He then ordered her to have a little rhubarb and magnesia, which was immediately given. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Sunday night he came again, and gave her sonic medicine which he had brought with him, but which was immediately thrown off the stomach. On my saying that I thought her in a dangerous state, he said my fears were perfectly groundless, and because of my ignorance of his system it was that I was alarmed—and that she would be per fectly well in a few days. She passed a very restless night, and on the following morning I was still more alarmed at the increased inflammation of the wound. The deceased's mother and brother-in-law expressed a great desire to have further advice, and Mr. Brodie was sent for, who saw her about six o'clock in the evening, and ordered a poultice to be applied immediately, and some saline draughts. The sick ness was stayed by Mr. Brodie's prescription. Her night was very bad. On the following morning, at seven o'clock, I gave her a saline draught, and in half an hour afterwards she took a small cup of coffee with dry toast. I left her with the nurse, under the impression that she was drowsy. During the time I was at breakfast a bell rang violently, and I immediately run up stairs and saw the deceased in the agony of death. Mr. Foulkes, a neighbour ing surgeon, was sent for immediately. I tried to get a tea-spoonful of brandy into her mouth, but her jaws were quite set, and she immediately breathed her last.—(Here the witness was deeply affected, and it was with difficulty that her husband, who sat by her side, could with his utmost attention keep her from fainting.) -1 did not state in its pro per place, that after Mr. Brodie bail seen her on Monday evening, Mr. Long called. On hearing that Mr. Brodie had been called in, he said it was per fectly unnecessary, for that no person could be doing better than Miss Cashin was. Mr. Long did not come or send after that; The solicitor (understood to be attending for Mr. Long) said he wished to ask the witness whether the diet which Miss Cashin took was in accordance with the directions of Mr. Long on that head. Witness—Mr. Long said he wished his patients to cat and drink whatever they liked; so that there WAS no restriction. The Coroner—What did she eat or drink ? Witness —She had no appetite for any thing. W e tried a variety of things which we thought likely to stay upon her stomach, all of which I told Mr. Long of, and he approved. [From the commencement of the inquiry the pro ceedings had been repeatedly interrupted by a Jury. man, who was evidently in a disgraceful state of in toxication, and at this period his interruptions were so frequent, and his conduct so boisterous, as to distress the witness exceedingly, and to put a stop LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1830. for a time to the solemn investigation. Mr. Sweet. man, brother-in-law to the deceased, rose and said, that he must take the liberty of requesting that the Juror be ordered to withdraw, as it was quite evi dent that he was perfectly incompetent to decide upon so important a matter as was then before the Court. This observation made the drunken Juror still more obstreperous, and at length the beadles were compelled to take him by force out of the room. He resisted violently, and kept the house in an uproar for nearly a quarter of . an hour. He said his name was Marks, and that he had lived at No. 38, Mornington-place for 15 years. A. gentleman named M'Cannom was then sworn in his stead, and the inquiry proceeded.) Solicitor, to Mrs. Roddis—Were there not large quantities of fruit brought to the house, and con;. slimed by Miss Cashin and her sister ? Witness Perhaps a dozen of plums or so were occasionally left at the house in a day, but not within the last fortnight. Solicitor—Did these young ladies eat the plums in the morning, when they were in good health ? Witness—l never saw Mrs. Cashin or her daUghters eat a plum at all. Solicitor—Did you ever say to Mrs. Cashin, that you thought eating so many plums had caused her eldest daughter's illness? Witness—Never. I re cellect Mrs. Cashin one clay said that Miss Ellen Cashin had a fulness in the stomach, sad I said I thought she must have eaten something that dis agreed with her. Mrs. Cashin, on that occasion, said, that Mr. Long's patients must. have whatever they chose to eat and drink without restriction.— The young ladies after this had purple grapes, and the plums were discontinued. They never went out but in their carriage, and could not have bought any plums without its being known. Solicitor—Was Mr. Long aware that the deceased ate so many plums ? Witness—Do not know that he was. Solicitor—l think the witness ought to have com municated it to him. Witsiess—l am sure she did not eat many. Examined by the Coroner and Jury—The de ceased was in perfect health before Mr. Long caused the wound in her back. She stated that to her friends in Dublin, to whom she wrote. Solicitor—While you were attending so kindly upon her, did she not speak of having a bowel com plaint ? Witness—She first complained of her stomach on this day week. Her stomach and bowels were not, I think, in such a state as would be likely to be produced by eating too many plums. Solicitor—Had she a bowel complaint or not ? Witness—l cannot say more than that she laboured under violent sickness, and there appeared to have been a revulsion of nature produced, which Mr. Long said was part of his system. Mr. Wakley, the editor of the Lancet, here said, he was requested by the brother-in-law of the de ceased to ask a question or two of the witness if he had the Coroner's permission. The CORONER —lf you please, Sir. Mr. Wakley—Was you in the habit of seeing the deceased every day before the wound of which you speak was made ? Witness—l was. Mr. Wakley—Do you think she had what is called it bowel complaint ? Witness—l know nothing officially of any bowel complaint, nor do I think she laboured under the malady thus described. Mr. Wakley—Did she ever complain to you of any indisposition previous to the wound being made ? —Witness—No : on the contrary, she told me she was in perfect health. Mr. Wakley 7 -Was the wound made intentionally or accidentally?—Witness.--Intentionally, I under stand. hir ii N w V a a s k m lei a — de Did Nne I4 v l i r t .L s o e nz say for what pur pose No. Mr. Wakley—l should have asked you first who made the wound ?—Witness I did not see it made, and do not know of my own knowledge. Solicitor—Was you informed why and when the wound was made ?—Witness—l was informed why, but not when. Solicitor—By whom ?—Witness—By Miss Cashin herself. She stated that Mr. Long said it would prevent any complaint which she might here after have to be troubled with. Solicitor—Did she state whether Mr. Long was applied to, or if he volunteered to make the wound ? —Witness—l cannot tell. It was on my express. ing my astonishment at the nature of the wound that I was informed of the course that had been adopted, and I then learned that Miss Ellen Cashin was also a patient of Mr. Long's. Solicitor—What was the nature of Miss Ellen ,Cashin's complaint ?—Witness—l cannot say. Miss Ellen Cashin died this morning.—(The statement of this fact produced a most powerful sensation in the jury -room.)—I have been told that she was treated in the same manner as her sister. Solicitor—What sort of appearance did the spot of which you have spoken bear? Witness—lt had a very dark and angry look. A Juror—Did both the sisters reside in your house, and did Mr. Long visit them both. Wit ness—Yes; latterly, when Miss Cushin became so ill, he was sent for, but before that they visited Mr. Long. He does not usually visit his patients they go to him. Miss Cashin used to go with her sister before she became a patient. Juror—ls there not some kind of secrecy ob served in Mr. Long's practice—l mean, are not his patients bound to secrecy in some way? Wit ness—l understand there is something of that sort. I do not know whether Mr. Long was made ac quainted with the nature of Mr. Brodie's prescrip tion when he came on Monday evening. It was sent to Mr. Pounces's to be prepared. Ido not know at what particular time Miss Cashin first be came a patient of Mr. Long's. She had nothing the matter with her ; she had no complaint, but she said Mr. Long's treatment was to prevent any disease in future. Solicitor—Was she aware that her sister's back was bad ? Witness—l do not know. Mr. Brodie saw the deceased's back. Solicitor—What opinion did you form of it when you sow it ? 'Witness—My impression was that there was very violent and extensive inflammation, which if not stopped would produce very serious consequences, and I told Mr. Long so; and his reply still was that it was part of his system. Solicitor—Did you point out the spot you have spoken of to Mr. Brodie ? Witness—l did not call his attention to any particular part of the wound. Solicitor—Why did you not ? Witness—Be cause I thought it would be presumptuous in me to do so to so eminent a man as Mr. Brodie. Solicitor—But why should you have mentioned it to Mr. Long, and not to Mr. Brodie ? Wit ness—lf I must answer that question, it wasbecause I thought Mr. Long a very ignorant man, but I knew Mr, Brodie to be otherwise. By the CORONER—The inflammation extended all over the back on both sides of the vertebra. It was at the top part, between the shoulders. The ladies were strangers to me before they came to lodge in my house. Juror—When was the wound made The Co- ItONEtt—The witness cannot know, because she did not see it made. The witness, whose examination lasted nearly two hours, then signed the deposition and withdrew. Mr. Benjamin Collins Brodie sworn---1 reside at No. 1G„ Saville-row, and um a surgeon. I never saw the deceased but once during her life time. I wax sent for on Monday last to 32, Mornington place, and I went between five and sii o'clock. I first saw in the drawing-room a young lady who appeared to b e l a b our i ng un d er an affection of the chest. I went up to a bed-room, and there .I saw a young lady who was said to have a wound in her back, whi c h it was wished I should see. I looked at her back end discovered a slough, which might be.as large as the palm of my hand, all round which the skin was discoloured to a considerable extent, as if it had been inflamed, and was now threatening to become a slough also. Her stomach was very much disturbed, and I was told that she brought up whatever she swallowed directly.— . I prescribed what in my judgment were suitable remedies, and said I would call on the follow. ing day, believing at that time that, although she. was very ill, she was not in immediate danger. I was told that the inflammation in the back which produced the sloughing (which term, perhaps, I should explain to the Jury, is Py nonymous i t mortification, or nearly so) had been produced by an' application made by a Mr. Long, who had b een consulted, but of this I have no actual knowledge Myself. On the following day (Tuesday) I called again at the hoUse, and found that the young lady bad died that morning. I requested that I might the body, and on examining the back, I found that the sloughing had very considerably extended, and I concluded had been the cause of her death. That is all I know and all I can say. I have no knowledge of how the wound was produced. Solicitor—Might not such a wound have been produced by a blister ? Witness—On a person of very susceptible constitution it might. I was told that she was not ill at all before the wound was made, but that it was made to prevent her from going into a consumption like her sister. On that subject I was informed her mother was very anxious. fly the solicitor—Any considerable stimulant applied to the skin of a person of extremely suscep tible constitution may possibly produce mortifica tion. A common blister might produce it, but it is not likely. I did not see what application had been made to the wound, but was informed that it had been poulticed. I was informed that her stomach would not bear medicine, but what I gave her stayed. The wound in her back was quite sufficient to account for the state of her stomach. The slough, as I saw it on the following day, was quite sufficient to destroy any one. Solicitor_Did you observe any particular spot ? 'Witness —There was a red surface the size of a good large plate, bat the sloughing was not so extensive. The centre of the wound was quite black, the rest red. Solicitor—lf you had seen her on Friday, do you think it likely you could have done her any good ? Witness—l think it very likely, though to be sure I am unacquainted with her constitution, and there fore cannot speak with certainty. A Juror—Do you think the application made by Mr. Long to her back was the cause of her death ? Witness--I think so, from w h at 1 h ave heard. Juror—Would inhaling produce such a wound on the back? Witness—Not alone. Juror—ls there not 6me secret in Mr. Long's practice ? I mean, does he not profess great se crecy, and bind down his patients not to divulge hiS mode of treatment ? Witness—l have heard so. Solicitor—Might not eating a large quantity of plums cause inflammation in the bowels and stomach, and might not that inflammation extend to the back, and show itself eventually in the form in which you saw it ? Is it not possible ? Witness- 7 4 don't know what is possible, but I never saw any -thing of the kind. It could not prodoce such u slough as that upon her back. A Juror—,)Tou did not, I think, consider her in danger when you first saw her ? Witness-1 thought her very ill, but not in immediate danger. Juror—Could the appearances you have described have been produced by inflammation of the bowels? Witness—Certainly not. The sloughing could not have been produced by that. By the solicitor—The sickness and disturbed state of the stomach would not have occasioned the slough, but the slough was quite sufficient to ac count for the sickness. The effect of any external application wou ld depend, of course, in a great measure, upon the constitution of the patient. I was told that the deceased was in good health ten days ago. A Juror—Do you think an application of the kind that has been mentioned likely to prevent consump tion ? Witness—Certainly not. I cannot imagine how such a thing could be. The CORONER—WouId you consider it warrant able practice to produce such a back in order to pre vent consumption? Witness—l should not. A Juror—Would you think a tumbler of pore wine the best composing medicine for h er ? W lieSS-It might have been very good for her, if the stomach would have borne it; but it certainly was not calculated to quiet her stomach as it then was, Juror—Did you not say she hail been murdered ? Witneas-1 did not mean murdered in the literal sense; but I believe I did say something of that kind; and my opinion was, that she had, in conse quence of the treatment she received. Solicitor—You have said that the effect produced by any external application would greatly depend upon the constitution of the patient. Then Mr. Long's system, although not beneficial in this in stance, migi.t be so in others ? Air. Brodie (smil ing and shaking his bead)—l cannot say any thing about that. A Juror—lf you had visited Miss Cashin Wore, and had seen the sloughing increase, would you not have thought there was danger ? Certainly. Juror—Would you have thought she was going on well ? Witness—No, I have not seen the body since the (lay she died, but I have no doubt that the sloughing was the cause of her death. The Coroner and Jury, with Mr. Brodie and Mr. Wakley, then went to view the body, and on their return several of the Jury expressed a strong desire to have the body opened; one of the gentlemen ob serving, that although there could be very little doubt as to the cause of her death, and although they would willingly spare the atitcted mother any further trial of her feelings, yet the case was one of such vast public importance, every possible informa tion must be obtained. An elderly person sitting at the table, who said he was a surgeon, said be h ope d the jury would hear evidence that Mr. Long had to adduce on his own behalf. He (the speaker) could bring forward testimony in contradiction of what bud been stated, and be himself knew of fifty cases within these two months in which Mr. Long's system had been tried, and not one instance of a failure. The solicitor said, Mr. Long's professional repu tation was at stake, and he trusted the Jury would bear both sides. Mr. Sweetman, brother-in-law of the deceased, said there would be no objection on the part of the relatives to having the body opened, as it was neces sary for the furtheranc e of justice. It was then directed that the body should be opened immediately, and the inquest was then ad journed until Monday (this day). Mr. Long was i n t h e house during the inquiry, and was accompanied by Mr. Van I3utchell , and one or two other persons of advertising celebrity.

STATE OF THE PRESS IN FRANCE, The following prophetic remarks are extracted from Sir A. B. Patilicner's " Rambling Notes on • a Visit, to Paris, in 1827," published two years since : The present projet of M. Peyronnet, to restrain the liberty of the Press, has lent no small force to the jealousy of the present Government, and, con sidering, the awful experience they had in former times, seems a most unaccountable temerity. If it were merely one or two acts of an arbitrary nature they were trying to carry, they might be over looked, or at least have the benefit of some equivocal interpretation; but when a number of convergent mea sures are attempted at the same time, the tendency of which is alik e hostile to th e spirit f the Charter, and the wishes of the people; surely little farther proof is necessary to convince them of the animus that presides in the Councils of the nation. But, after all, it is only themselves the . people have to thank for th e w h o l e . They committed a sad over sight at the restoration, Before they allowed Louis IVIII. to put one of his gouty feet on the beach at Calais they should have presented. him, as we did in a similar conjuncture, with a bill of rights, as the positive and peremptory condition of his being accepted for their Sovereign. From all 1 hear, I augur nothing but mischief, should M. Peyronnet'a projet for trammelling the Press be suffered to pass. If public opinion has not vent through this channel, it must sooner or later find another, and one probably the Govern ment may like as little. True it is, that before the revolution, the nation long and patiently endured the agonies of suppressed opinion; but let us bear in mind how long they had been strangers to anything like freedom. The experiment of open, manful re monstrance, would have been a fearful venture, while a leitre de cachet hung over their heads, and they were ignorant or distrustful of their strength. The insane abettors of this Bill appear to have for gotten that they live in the lath not the 16th cen tury. The benefit of all history is thrown away upon them. It is thrown away upon them that` England has experimentally proved that the liberty of the Press is the best bulwark of our religion and Constitution, by enlightening men to appreciate the value of both. It is lost upon them too, that there is no possible mode of getting at an acquaintance with the true interests of the governed, but through the free publication of opinion; or if they do know these things, they force us into the conclusion that the object is in reality not the suppression of the licentiousness of the Press, as they would have it believed, but a step towards the restoration of ab selute Government. A Frenchman asked me to-day, why there should not be a check upon aristocratic licentiousness us well as popular licentiousness. " Human nature being the same in both, is there," said he, " any good reason why there should not be a mutual guarantee for the good behaviour of both. The history of your own country is a pregnant proof of the attach ment which a free Press begets for a free Constitu don, which you know, spite of the most frightful commotions and rudest shocks, always righted again, mainly, if not solely, through its instrumentality." So fully do I coincide with this view of the subject, that I am convinced, if her navigators do not look sharp, the French vessel of State will roon be on her beam-ends. It is said au pis alter, if the Minister cannot manage to carry his project by any other means, fair or foul, he has advised the King to create sixty new Peers. Better— or I'am fur astray 1n my French politics—better Charles X. you Intd never left your pelttiOti in Ilolyroorl Howie. The common opinion about the Press. Restriction Bill is, that it must eventually pass into law. It will behove its authors and abettors to be aware. The steam of public opinion is at present under high pressure, and it is doubtful that it will bear much increase. The King is never mentioned but in connection with an incubus of Jesuits, by whom, they say, he is perpetually and most unmerc►fully bestrode. There certainly appeals to be no occasion that their bit- terest enemy should desire the Royal Family any greater humiliation than they at present may be sup posed to endure from the state of popular feeling. Never, perhaps, did Royalty repose on any thing more the reverse of a bed of roses. If hearsay and appearances may be trusted, they !we literally as exiles among their own people, without one soul that I could disc over to sympathise with this most unnatural sequestration. In such circumstances, to render misery complete, I can • conceive nothing wanting except that to not receiving sympathy, we should be conscious of not deserving it. GERMAN DESPOTISM. To the EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE. " The glorious Revolution in France will, perhaps, finally break the yoke under which the subjects of other Despots groan." Stu,—Such were the words of your correspon dent, Publicola, inserted in your yesterday's Journal, the ornament of the English Press. Permit me, then, to give you a few details of occurrences that have happened in Germany within the last two years. I will not advert to Austria, that country being out of the pale of all civil liberty ; I shall only .mention, for the present, some heroic deeds done by some petty contemptible German Governments, the name of whom are scarcely known beyond the confines of their own country. Not three years ago the peasantry of the princi pality of Greitz, in Saxony, oppressed with taxes, and constantly harassed with feudal services, refused to pay extra imposts which the petty tyrant re quired from them. The tax-gatherer appeared, accompanied with un array of a huge military force, composed of several battalions. The peasantry not submitting, the lives of a whole village were de stroyed in less than half an hour. The murder ►vas committed, no murmur was heard, the Papers of all Germany were silent as death. Not nine months ago, one of the highest end most venerated Tribunals of Germany, the High Court of Appeal of Wolfenbuttel, passed a judgment in favour of a deeply wronged subject against his So vereign, the present young Duke of :Brunswick, the degenerate son of a great father. Scarcely had the decision been promulgated, when a Commissioner of the tyrant Duke repaired to IVolfenbuttel, called together the Judges of the Court, ordered the re gistrar to be brought before hint, and in their pre settee, in the Mil of Justice, tore the sentence to pieces from the file of the rolls, and threw it at their feet. The crime was committed, no murmur was heard, the Papers of all Germany were silent as death. Not two months ago about 7,5 bravo and faithful citizens of Dresden were illegally incarcerated by the military, by order of that bigotted King Anton, of Saxony—the curse of that hue country, and a complete counterpart to his priest-ridden brother, the !?x-King Charles of France-,tnerely for having expressed their dissatisfaetien with the opposition which that bigot showed to every demonstration of, joy displayed by his Protestant natives on the third j o bilee o f the delivery of the Reformed Confession - -- at Augsburg. Thuliberty of the subject was o tam or t ifiy violated, no murmur was heard, the Papers.aall Germany were silent us d eat h. Not three months ago the reigning Grand Duke of thisse-Darmstadt died, leaving behind hitn mc nse privy debts to the amount of onv million and a hall of dodos, spent in dissipation find l uxury. %Vas Mr. Sboil wrong in saying that the Ger. mans are slaves P Alas they are. Aug. 20. A GERMAN. PARIS, Au% 16. Extract of a letter from: an English gentleman In Paris to his friend in London :-- asAa was just about to write yon a few lines when I received yours of tbe ifith, being aware that you would be impatient to hear from me. Malsque voulez volts." Si nce t h e ever memorable a n d glorious 28th and 29th, there have been so many momentous scenes daily passing in Paris, that my attention and time have been entirely pre-occupied with them, besidee; after re turning to my lodgings, fatigued and exhausted, I was obliged to write pennyworths to my immediate relations. Europe has received a lesson, one which will rnske the despotic monarchs and tyrants of it tremble on their thrones, nod from which their subjects will sooner or later benefit. Great Britain herself should feel deeply indebted to the heroism of the Pariiiens. No more vindictive ex-officio proceedings against the press so jestly tamitned persecutions, instead of p role t ut i ens, 'by 'Mr. Gordon, disgraceful to an Administration ceiling itself liberal; end against which the public -opinion of the country had de- Glared itself. The conduct of the French populace daring the, fete revolution cannot be too ptaised, the courage, the ministration, aoktbe good sense which they displayed upon almost every occasion, has been the astomshment and ailiniration of all men. Freedoin s true conetitutinnal liberty, appears to have been the Objeet kept atemaililY P to view by the majority,. Vice la Charte their war cry. A few excesses, unavoidable upon such an occalion, were committed 'at the taking of the Tuilleries, but even these proceeded from the impulse. of the moment, and - were mostly Confined to time destruetien of the property of ob noxious individnals. Ne couseetitive account of the three days' Occurrences has yet Appeared in French print, and to relate to you detached *need** or details extracted from the brochures, or trilling peblieations of the inonstme, would be merely repeating what you hies already probably read in the English papers. It would be equally in vain to attempt to describe to you in writing, on one ellen of paper, the various tragi-comic scenes of which I was a witness. I shill however endeavour to give you 'a rough sketch of part of my personal adventures during the 27th, 28th, and t9th, leaving the blanks, shades, and cohnirings of the picture to be verbally filled up when I have the pleasure of seeing you. Although out of doors during the greatest part of this above three days I was only twice in the fire, and that only for a short time, being totally unarmed, but I en countered other dangers probably not less serious. After having been present at the commencement of the battle in the Rue St. Honor", with the burning the Bar rack of the Corps de Garde, &e. near the. Exchange on the evening of the 27th, and having seen the , systematic overthrow of the lamps and the cutting down of the lino trees ou the Boulevard des Italiens, &e., with the up. setting of carriages, omnibussee, &c„ to form barricades, on Wednesday, the 28th, I proceeded in compatiy with --.--, that evening about eight o'clock in quest of ad ventures; we crossed the Boulevaid des Capucines which the Garde Roy** had new taken possession of, and oft the cut down trees of which they were very pitturemuely bivouacking, continuing through the Rue de hi Pole mid part of the Rue St. Honors lined with troops, and every shop shut imp and deserted, we reached time Place du Carou sel in front of the Tuilleries—bere a liattaliim of time Garde Royale, a Regiment of Lancers, and two or three otnicidrons of Cuirassiers, Carabineers, &c., with sonic pieces of ar tillery, in ell about 5,000 omen, were stationed ; the soldiers of the Foot Guards were bivouacking on the ground, seated on their knapsacks, with their firelocke be tween their knees, and part of the cavalry standing at their horses' heads, but ready to mount in tin instant in time word of command being given. After looking around us for a short time we passed through the Place, and seated ourselves on the parapet of the Punt Royale —every- thing bore a deceitful appearance of calm at time west end of the capital, nor did it seem likely tlmat victory would so loon crown the heroic Otani of the citizens. The evening was a most delialitfail one, or I should rather say sublime-e.the whole heaven one blaze of refulgent gold ; I scarcely ever saw so magnifimst s setting sun, it owned as lithe Deity himself was smiling on the patriotic eiertiona of the Frenelt • • in the sacred cause of freedoM against bigotry and op. peession,—for by this time the people, **sifted by the National .Guard, Istid itatettly sirienntheesie***4l,o9o94l,4oM....e. the Hotel its tan o'clock they hall; estabibbed. their position there, which thus became an importantpoint d'appui. To proceed, —.at this moment the cannon planted near the magnificent facade of the Louvre, at time corner, was sweeping the (du Louvre, •de Seam) and the • Pouts des Arts rind Neuf up the river, with room) and grape shot. After contemplating for some time the scrim we crossed the bridge, at the other end of which a etrotmg guard was posted, and proeeeding along time Quid de Voltaire we found ourselves, before we were aware, eapomied to the fire of the Swiss stationed at the corner of the Louvre from diet side we had just quitted.-takiug shelter wider some strait% m the left of the Imaitute, we remained a little looking at the National Guard and the people returning time fusillade of the Swiss ; directing our steps towards the interior of the south bide of the city we discovered the populace arming In thousands, all the shops and houses shut up, mint! every street barricad e d sit both ends, and lighted on l y by the moon, • • • 0 im • We were now in the Faubourg St. Germain, which was only partly barricaded as yet, the hour near twelve, and in total darkness; I expected the troops every moment to appear and cut us down like dogs, without arms in out hands to die like men.

After considerable difficulty we at last obtained admittance into au hotel, the landlord only sonsenting to receive us because we were strangers ; here we passed the night, our ears assailed at intervals by randoM allots, and time continued melancholy amid ominous chime of. the tocsin at Notre Dante and St. Sulpice, calling the people to Ming. At about six o'clock in the morning of time 29th the firing began between the National. Guard on our side of the River, from the Quais near the Inelitute, Mint, Sto., and the Swiss on the opposite ; by eight, the battle wet fairly commenced at all points, and the attacks firrovitarwously directed towards the Tuileries from the Pont Royale, tlos Rue de i'liehelle and Wham and the Place du Car:merit at time end of time line de Richelieu and corner of time Rue St. Nicaise the light wee very bloody, the soldiers of the Garde Royale being posted at time upper windows of them hawses in the latter street ; you may count the mark* of some thousand musket balls on time !mouses.
