PeterStield, August 99, 1821. REMARKABLE ROBBERY.--A singular event has occurred at St. Claude (Jura;) an individual, pursued by one of the Gens d'Armerie, escaped his pursuers, and took refuge almost in a state of nudity, at the house of a Cure, some distance from St. Claude. To account for his appearing in this plight, and making so precipitate an en trance, he announced himself as -the Grand Vicar of the Bishop, who was immediately to take possession of the Bishopric of St. Claude, and stated that he had been attacked by robbers in the adjacent wood, who had taken from him all his property, together with his apparel, and that it was a miracle he had escaped with life. Con ducted by his host to the house of another Cure, he repeated the same tale; his new host received him with the greatest kindness, and with the re spect due to his supposed rank in the hierarchy, offered him the best apparel, a gold watch, and 25 louis (all the venerable Pastor possessed,) which the pretended Grand Vicar very readily accepted. They then set out for St. Claude, where, having learnt the resi dence of the Cure, they proceeded thither ; the Cure was absent, and a messenger was sent to inform him that the Grand . Vicar wished to see him : the Pastor hastened to come, but in consequence of his age and infirmities, had no sooner reached his house, than he found himself so much indisposed, that he was obliged to re tire to his bed. The pretended . Grand Vicar expressed a desire to remain alone with him for a few minutes, and his companion retired. The impostor then produced a brace of pistols, de manded - the Cure's keys, and having possessed himself of all his valuable portable property, he succeeded in making his escape.—(Journal du Commerce.) • THE KING. [From the Morning Papers.] MILFORD, SEPT. 10.—The Royal squadron is still in the harbour, and his MAJESTY has not yet appeared upon deck, but he is fast recover ing from the fatigues experienced in the Channel. Boats and yachts are sailing constantly round the Royal George, in which his Majesty came from Ireland, and thousands line the shore in momentary hope of s9me communication as to the King's landing. The probability of his land ing is very great, as the wind continues to blow strong at S.W., and there is every prospect of unfavourable weather. A slight gale would not indeed deter the King from proceeding by sea, for he is no fresh-water sailor ; but after the ter rible gale which the Royal squadron experienced in its passage Ireland on Saturday night, it would be very inconsiderate to put to sea again unless a thorough change in the weather should take place. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants is at its height : and such was the joy felt at the arrival of the King, that there was a general illumination- yesterday notwithstanding its being Sunday.. [ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.]—The Royal squadron, which put into this capacious port yes terday, and which is still at anchor, consists of the Royal George, on board of which is his Ma jesty; the Royal Sovereign yacht ;. the Liffey and Active frigates ; the Hind, Wolf, and Cameleon, sloops of war ; two cutter yachts ; and the Dwarf and Skylkrk cruisers. The squadron left Dub lin on Friday afternoon, with the intention of proceeding direct to Portsmouth. At starting they were nearly becalmed, but a fresh breeze sprung, up, and they went gaily onwards until Saturday night, when a strong gale began to blow, which in creased to such an extent, that it was deemed prudent, to run into Milford,. and there remain, until the gale should have subsided. Notwith standing the fatigue of the voyage, the general health of his Majesty is described as very good indeed; but he has not escaped sea sickness en tirely. Soon after the entrance of the Squadron, -there was a meeting of the principal inhabitants of the Borough of Haverfordwest, to take into consideration the propriety of voting an address of congratulation on his safe arrival at Milford ; and, notwithstanding the shortness of the notice, a very affectionate and loyal Address was drawn up, and a Deputation appointed to present it. The Deputation consisted of William Henry S courfield, 'Esq. Member of Parliament for Haver fordwest • his Worship the Mayor, and others of the Corporation. On arriving at the 'Royal George with the Address, the Gentlemen were most politely received ; but at the same time, were informed that his Majesty was reposing after the fatigues of the voyage, and therefore they could not disturb him. It was understood, however, that as soon as his Majesty should ap , pear publicly on deck,- he would receive the loyal and affectionate-respects of the inhabitants of the Borough," - as conveyed in the Address for warded by 'the Deputation. Sir John Owen, Bart. our respected County " M ember, with several gentlemen of respectability, has: also been on board to pay his respects to our beloved Sovereign; but I have been . with Lord Graves, his Majesty's Lord of the Bed chamber, who has very •tondescendingly favoured, me with some —information . respect ing the visit of the Gentlemen ; by which I find that his Majesty could not, at the time, have the pleasure of 'receiving' - them. 'His Lordship also informed me that his Majesty was not on deck during the day, and therefore received none of the, numerous and respectable visitors from the shore who were anxious to behold him. There is -not, however, the least doubt entertained of his Majesty's gracious intention to receive the congratulations of his people as soon as he is able.—The Hind revenue cruiser was dispatched for Holyhead as soon as the Royal squadron anchored. PEMBROKE, SEPT. W.—Yesterday the town of Milford exhibited a scene of the greatest gaiety and confusion, which were caused by the arrival, about noon, of the Royal squadron, accompanied by the Emerald and Sabrina yachts, belonging to the Marquess of Anglesea. The Royal George, of course the object of attraction, was surrounded by vessels and boats of, every description, full of spectators, all anxious for a sight of our beloved Sovereign, whom, I am concerned to say, con tinues so indisposed from sea sickness, occasioned by the heavy gales experienced on Saturday night, as not to be able to appear on deck. Alre understand orders were immediately sent on shore, for horses to be in readiness to convey his Majesty by land from hence ; but these orders were in the evening countermanded. In the afternoon great crowds of people continued to pour in from all parts of the country ; and a ge neral illumination, in honour of his Majesty's ar rival, took place in the evening. Monday, Ten o'Clock, P. M.—lt now blows hard at West, with every probability of a con tinuance, which may perhaps induce his 'Ma jesty to carry his first intention into effect, of proceeding by land to the metropolis. PEMBROKE, Sunday, Sept. 9.—1 hasten to in form you of the arrival in this haven of our most gracious Sovereign, King George the Fourth, on board his beautiful yacht the Royal George, ac companied by the Royal Sovereign yacht, the 'Active and Liffey frigates, Hind corvette, Wolf sloop of war, Sabrina and Emerald private yachts, and some Revenue cruisers., which joined the Royal squadron on the passage. The squa dron left Dunleary on Friday at two A.M., and, after a most rough and boisterous passage, - came safe into this haven about 11 o'clock this fore noon. You may form some idea of the gale which the Royal squadron encountered, from this circumstance, that the forecastles of the two frigates were completely under water, from the pressure of canvas they were obliged to carry, in order to keep up with the Royal George, which has proved itself to be a most complete sea-boat.--The Lee corvette, and Cameleon . brig of war parted company on the passage. Milford is partially illuminated this evening, and, no doubt, will be generally so to-morrow. Ills Majesty has not been seen on deck the whole of this day, although a vast number of boats were plying round the yacht, filled with all the beauty and fashion of the neighbourhood. Monday Afternoon. —The squadron are still at anchor, and the wind appears quite changeable ; should it shift to, the N.N.W. bordering on that point, the fleet will, no doubt, immediately pro ceed round land. BRIGHTON, Scrr.ll.— , -The gratifying rumour that the KING purposes landing here, is still kept afloat, but, we fear, not destined to be realized. Should, howeVer, the landing be effected else where, we believe there is very little doubt that his MAJESTY will be at the Pavilion in the course of the week ensuing. Sir IVIATTnEw and Lady TIERNEY will be here in a day or two. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [FROM THE KEHTISH GAZETTE, SEPT. 11.1 PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE. cc my Sons, all party fling aside, " When to listening Senate ardent crowd " Britannia's Sons " With bold description and with manly voice, '" Then let your cause be heard." Tito msom. BROTHER FARMERS—I congratulate you on the spirit ed manner in which a respectable body of Agriculturists, in the neighbourhood of Dover, have come forward with 'a determina tion of laying before the Legislature, their just claims to that pro tection which Can alone Save us from destruction. In order to alle viate the distresses pervading all classes, it will be necessary to place Agriculture on a rock—it is strange that protection should be denied, and thought unfit and impracticable for Agricul lure, the greatest of all our manufactures, under which all our other manufactures have arisen to the highest possible prosperity. Our cause is just, as it tends to the welfare of the whole community; but on our own perseverance and exertions we must depend for success—our petitions must shew our minds.—Brother . Fanners, believe not those who would persuade you your petitions are useless, and that the manufacturers can out-number you ; let them come for Ward, if they are so blinded to their own interest, with their thousands and ten thousands. I doubt much whether now, or at any former period, petitions equal in weight and respectability with those of the Agriculturists, ever came before the House of Commons ; every man who has signed, .or will sign those pe titions, .is to be- fonnd at his own home. And what is the prayer of the Farmers' petition ? It is justice for themselves, and prosperity to their country—it is to be allowed the_same protection' for themselVes, as manufacturers of corn, meat, wool, and flax, as the clothier has for his broad cloth, the hatter for his hats, and the mercer for his silks. In asking a remunerating price for our produce, we feel ourselves not only the advocates of the Agricultural labourer and mechanic, but more particularly of the whole community. For what greater evil could happen, than for this country, this once happy England ! who, with efficient protection to her Agriculture, could feed all her. people, for want of that protection, to become dependant on foreigners for her daily bread ? Never did a Noble Lord mistake the true interest of his country More, than he charged - the Farmers with imprudence for bringing land into cultivation, which must now go out again. Thus then is the farmer treated by the hands which ought to encourage and up hold him, after having expended his capital in endeavouring, and in many cases succeeding, in making two blades of corn grow where only one grew before ; after having, by the most dili gent industry, increased the productiVe resources of his country, it is flung in his teeth that he has acted imprudently, and must abiddthe consequences ; his imprudence has certainly benefited the State, though the individuals may have received none them selves. , Let the Noble Lord reflect a minute, and take the case in another point of view, and he will find, had the farmers been protected in their own markets from foreign competition, with corn brought here untithed and untaxed, when the Noble Lord and his Colleagues turned loose upon the country to seek their bread, not only the disbanded army and navy, but num bers from the over-glutted manufactories—had they then been allowed a remunerating price for their produce, Agriculture would have supplied work and wages for all willing to work, cheap bread for all her population, markets to her manufac turer, and trade to the merchant. Lose not a minute, Brother Farmers, in preparing your petitions,—and by the numbers and respectability of - your signatures, let the House oe Commons and . the country see you are in earnest—obtain efficient protec tion for Agriculture, or " in one gulph of total ruin, honour, virtue, " peace, friends, families, and fortunes, headlong sink." - I am, Brother Farmers, yours, Sept. 6, 1821. AGRI COLA. FIRE IN PRINCE'S -STREET, SOHO-SQUARE.— Yesterday morning, at half-past eleven o'clock, the firemen and labourers employed digging in the ruips of Mr. MYERS'S house, discovered-the body of Mr. MYERS, jug. whose remains bore a most horrid spectacle. He is 22 years of age. His body was carried to the Three Crowns, Richmond-street, for a Coroner's Inquest. DREADFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.—An Inquest was held on Monday in the Board-room of the Mid dlesex Hospital, before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on the body of John Petot, aged 22 years, who came by his death under the fol lowing dreadful circumstances :—The evidence went to prove that the deceased was a single man, and resided in Princes-street, near the spot where the late fire took place ; he lodged on the third floor; and latterly was observed to be very unwell ; he was afflicted with an extraordinary complaint—imagining that he saw forms in the air, which he would catch at, and in finding him self deceived would fly into a rage; he was fre quently observed doing this, and on Saturday last whilst he was in his apartment he imagined that he saw something flying in the air, and pro ceeding to the window he was observed by some persons in the street endeavouring to catch at what he thought he saw, but in consequence of over-reaching himself he was precipitated from the third floor window into the street head fore most, with great violence. He was picked up in a horrid condition, weltering in blood, and carried to the hospital, where he died of the in juries he received. The Jury returned a ver dict—" That the Deceased came to his death by accidentally falling from a three pair of stairs window." ADJOURNED INQUEST ON RICHARD HONEY. FOURTEENTH DAY, SEPT. 12. At half past eleven o'clock the Jury re-assem bled at the Hop-pole Tavern, Edgeware-road, for the purpose of considering their verdict iii this case. The Gentlemen of the'Press were ex cluded from the room while the Jurors' consider ed their verdict. The CORONER arrived about twenty minutes before twelve o'cloa l and took his seat. ,The names of the Jurymen were then called over by the Beadle. The FOREMAN of the Jury congratulated Coroner, and also his brother Jurors,- that they had now arrived almost at the conclrkion of their labours. They had heard, in his °pluton, ail evidence necessary to enable them to come to a just decision on this important issue, the investi gation of which had- taken up such.a large por tion of their time. He (the Foreman) then sug gested to the Coroner the. propriety of his with drawing from the Jury-room, while they agreed upon their 'verdict.' The CORONER had no objection to 'withdraw ; he had delivered his judgment upon the case at. cording to the factS sworn to in the evidence given by the most respectable and unimpeachable tes timony ; they,(the Jurors) woUldi.hoWever, give credit to that evidence which they thought most worthy of belief. He left the case in their hands, and when they,l►ad agreed upon a verdict, they would send for him. The Coroner then withdrew to the Hyde Park Hotel. THE VERDICT. At a quarter befoie six o'clock the Reporters were admitted to the Inquest Room, and the Ver dict was delivered. The FOREMAN stated that the Jurymen had unanimously agreed to find their Verdict : "Manslaughter against the Officers and Men of the First Regiment of Life Guards, who were on duty between Tyburn gate and Park-lane, on Tuesday, the 14th, of August, at the time when Richard Honey was shot." The CORONER then said—Gentlemen, this is the Verdict you have unanimously come to. FOREMAN—It is. The Inquisition was then signed by the Jurors, and the Coroner said they might be discharged. The Beadle accordingly discharged them. THE CHESHIRE YEOMANRY Cur.--LThis prize, which afforded so excellent a race at the last Knutsford Races, is, we bear, likely to be again run for in a Court of Law. Our readers will re member the Cup was adjudged to Mr. 13afscoE, whose mare Atalante won the race by about half a neck. It is now claimed by Mr. BXRROW, the owner of the second horse, on the ground that Mr. Bniscor's mare is six years old, and was only entered as five years old. A dispute some what similar took place last year, respecting the Manchester Cavalry Cup. At that Race, the winning horse was entered at not thorough bred, and proof was afterwards obtained. that he NI as in fact a thorough bred horse ; upon which the owner of the horse that came in second brought an action to recover the cup, but the bwner of the winner gave it up to him previous to the cause being brought to trial.--(Chester,Courant.) ALARMING FlRE.—Between 11 and 12 o'clock last night, an alarming fire broke out in the SE cond flat of a house in the Cowgate, opposite the Back Stairs, which speedily communicated to the other flats, and in a short time the whole tene ment was in a blaze. On the first alarm the engines froth the different insurance companies repaired to the spot, and a strong : body of the police, but all their efforts to arrest the progress of the devouring element were unavailing, it hav ing got to too great a height before the alarm was given. 'They succeeded, however, in preventing it from 'communicating to the other houses in the neighbourhood, which were at different times threatened with destruction by the' 'violence of the flames. The whole tenement is. one. mass of ruins, and having been inhabited by 'a number of poor families, they have nearly lost the whole of their furniture, and in some instances were glad to escape with theii lives. — What adds greatly to the calamity, and which we are sorry to state, is - the loss of lives on the occasion. The fire breaking out when' the people were in their beds,dt had at tained so great a height before even those in the upper stories could be apprised of it, that one family in the fourth flat were cut ofr from all re treat. In this sad alternative, with the flames rapidly increasing around them, they adopted the resolution of leaping into the street ; and the mother, evidently in a fit of frenzy, dropped one child, which, falling on the pavement, was so dreadfully bruised, that it died while carry ing to the Infirmary ; unconscious of its fate, she herself leaped from the window, and was also so much bruised, that she died in the Infir mary early this morning. A boy about ten years 'of age, in attempting to eScape'froni one of the upper stories, fell and was killed; and a child was taken out dead from a house, where it is supposed to have' been suffocated. A man was also seriously but' not dangerdusly hurt.---We have heard the melancholy occurrence attributed to some persons, who were , cclebratiyg a chris tening, one of whom, in the most improper man ner, threw a glass of spirits in the fire, which set the room in a blaze and communicated to the rest of the house. We understand part of the property is insured .—(Edinburgh Courant, Sept. 10.)
