THE KING. THE KING'S PROGRESS. MlLFortn, SEPT. 14.—0 n Sunday, the 9th inst. put into this port from Dublin the Royal squa dron (having his MAJESTY on board), consisting of the Royal George and Royal Sovereign yachts, Active and Li fey frigates, Hind and Wolf sloops, with several cutters, yachts, &c. having experienced very severe weatherin getting down the Irish Channel. On Tuesday morning, the 11th, the wind veering to the N.W. the fleet again weighed, and at eight A. M. were clear of the harbour, steering for the Land's End with a bne breeze ; but the same afternoon the wind changed to the southward, and during the night blew a strong gale, which induced the Commo dore, Sir Charles Paget, to bear up again for Milford on the iollowing morning; and at four P.m. they anchored here in safety, this fine Ha ven proving a second time an asylum for the fleet, and to his Majesty George IV. what his maritime subjects have often experienced it to be, a " blessed Milford."'* The same evening his Majesty's carriages were brought on shore, and at five• in the morning of% :3th Sept. 189.1, the King left- the yacht in. hrs barge, under a Royal salute from the fleet, and, attended by the Captains of the different ships Of war in their boats, landed at Milford, wel comed by the heartfelt and continued cheers of an i'amense concourse of people. His Majesty was re-', ceived at the beach by the Right Hon. Lord Cawdor, ff. Leach, Esq. Collector of the Cus toms, Milford, &c., together with a detachment of the 11 th Regiment of Foot and of the Royal Marines, with their band, and immediately set off for London, escorted by a number of gentlemen on horseback, with blue favours in their hats, and carriages of almost, every description ; and although the intention of his Majesty to laud here was not fixed on until the evening of the 12th, a detachment of the Pembrokeshire Volunteer Yeomanry Cavalry promptly assembled and joined the cavalcade as early as six on the morn ing of the 13th about three miles from Milford. Three nights the towns of Milford and Raking were illuminated, and bonfires, fire-works, &c. exhibited Indeed, the reception of his M majesty here must have been truly gratifying to him, as it was honourable to the inhabitants ; for it evinced, in the highest degree, the loyalty and affection of Welchmen. During the time the Royal yacht lay here with the King, the Haven was crowded with cutters, yachts, pleasure-boats, &c. cruising round her, some with Ladies and Gentlemen of the first respectability in the coun try, all anxious to hail the Monarch on his ar rival with the cheering tribute of heart and voice. LFORYY, SEPT. 15--Yesterday morning sailed hence for Plymouth, with a right north-westerly wind, the Royal George and' Sovereign yachts, Liffey and Active frigates, the Hind sloop of war, and the Emerald euftor. I most sincerely regret the indisposition of the King while here ; It would have been parti►cularly desirable for him to have sailed up the Haven as far as the Dock yard, and had a view of the most capacious, sure, and camm.adiauc. ;xv 11;e II rvituti Kingdom- Its easy and safe ingress lie experienced by the immediate shelter it, in those two instances, af forded the Royal squadron, when the King de termined on resorting to it ; that, with all its other natural advantages, and being the first spot in this division of his Principality that has been visited by a King for so many centuries, strengthens the belief that it may immediately have all the privileges of a General Bonding Port, that its capabilities justify, extended to it ; again, as the King has lately experienced and confirmed the advantages of steam-packet navi gation, it is anticipated that two steam-packets will soon be put on this station to ply be tween Milford and Waterford.—The inhabi tants of Milford are greatly chagrined that they could not have bad time io make the landing-place of the King more comfortable ; for their , loyal attachment and inclinations would have induced their utmost exertions to contribute every possible accommodation. The large stone, on which the King first stepped his foot in South Wales, was immediately visited by the Ladies and Gentlemen, and several frag ments broken off to be preserved in their cabi nets ; after which the Freemasons' Society here took up the stone out of the quay, and now have it secured in their Lodge ; it is intended to have fragments of it polished, with appropriate in se:? n Lions, commemorative of the important event, and to erect a pillar of Welch marble on the spot the stone was - taken from. C.:”..I4.IRTHEN, SEPT. 13.—The inhabitants of tl;'s town have been highly gratified by having the unexpected honour of seeing his Majesty George the Fourth pass through their ancient borough. Early in the morning a Royal courier arrived from Milfoed ; and announced to his Wor ship the Mayor the approach of his Majesty ; but that, fatigued with his voyage, and wishing to ptirsue his journey with all possible dispatch, his Majesty could not receive the Public Autho rities of the Borough. The news almost instan. taneously went through the town and its vici nity—all hastened to manifest their loyalty —every countenance seemed anxious to have a view of the gracious person of the Monarch.— The Mayor and Corporation, attended by a very numerous body of Gentlemen,' proceeded to the principal street leading through the town, to welcome his Majesty. The streets were lined from one end to the other, and all the windows crowded with spectators. His Majesty arrived about eleVen o'clock,,and was received with the loyal acclamations of thousands, the hand play ing " God save the King." His Majesty very condescendingly bowed to the MayOr and his brother Magitrates,and appeared highly pleased with the attention paid to him as he proceeded along; the whole multitude followed, cheering him, and crying " God save the King," 84c.— His'lVlajesty was pleased to send a message to the Mayor, to signify that he, would be glad to re ceive the Loyal Address of the good people of Carmarthen through the medium of Lord Sid mouth. The Mayor, and a very respectable 11 Shalispe:e.re's " Cymbeline." company of Gentlemen, afterwards dined to gether at the Royal Hotel ; and when the cloth was removed, " The King, and a safe journey to him to the Capital," was drank with enthusiasm. BRECON,.SEPT. 15.-His Majesty having laud ed at Milford at five o'clock on the morning of Thursday; the 13th, proceeded through the counties of Pembroke and Carmarthen, visiting Dynovor Castle in his way, and arrived at Bre con at six in the evening. The carriage drove to the Priory, the mansion of the Marquis of Cam den, where his Majesty was received by Colonel Wood, the Member for the County, and the Gentlemen resident in the town of Brecon. As his 'Majesty passed, every- demonstration of loyalty was manifested by all ranks of people, and though the weather was very unfavourable, the streets were crowded with spectators anxious to welcome their King. Shortly after the arrival of his Majesty, a Congratulatory Address of the Corporation and Inhabitants of Brecon was pre sented to his Majesty through the Lord in Wait ing, which was most graciously received, and at night a general illumination took - place. Having dept at the Priory, his Majesty set out at the early hour of four in the morning, to breakfast with the Duke of Beaufort, at Troy House, near Monmouth. Upwards of one hundred gentlemen and tradesmen of the town of Brecon, on horseback, attended his Majesty as an escort to the confines of the principality. His Majesty on the journey frequently declared he had never travelled throu , h so beautiful a country, and on the Gentlemen taking their leave, expressed him self highly gratified by their zeal and attention, and by the affectionate loyalty he had met with from the inhabitants of \Vales. HENLEY-UPON-TILIMES. -As soon as the King's intended passing through this place was known, the 'town was all iu motion, and the groups of genteel persons , parading the streets and environs, awaiting the Sovereign's arrival, were very numerous. His Majesty arrived about three o'clock, and was most graciously received amidst the ringing of bells, and finally left the hill at the London entrance to the town, amidst the cheers of the populace. TIM KING'S JOURNEY TO THE CONTINENT. The Brussels Papers c6ntain the following in formation respecting his MAJESTY'S journey on the Continent 46 BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12.-A letter from Lille, of the 9th inst. says—' Orders from the Govern ment have arrived at Calais, to make all the ne cessary preparations for the reception of his Majesty the King of England, who is expected in the course of the week. We have been much astonished on reading in various Journals, that France was going to form an army of observation of 60 ; 000 men in Alsace. In the present situa tion of our army, it would be impossible to as semble such a force without stripping of troops the whole northern frontiers from Dunkirk to Strasburg, and calling out the National Guard to do duty; in the fortresses. Happily there is no idea of such a measure, and the report may be considered as one of the dreams of the Ger man Journals.' " " FRANK,FORT, SEPT. B.—Mr. Temple, the British Charge d'Affaires, has just been officially informed, that the King will arrive here between the 22d and 25th of this month. Hid Majesty, accompanied by Lord Liverpool afid the Marquis of Londonderry, and several Members of his Privy Council, will put up at the Roman Em peror Hotel. From this city his Majesty will go to Louisburg, and Homburg, to visit his sisters ; after which he will return to our city, whence he will continue his journey by way of Giessen, Marburg, and Cassel, to Munden. At Cassel great preparations are making ; and at Munden, being the frontier town, his Majesty will be re ceived by the Deputations from Hanover. Then he will proceed towards Gottingen, and stop not far from that town, at the House of the Govern ment, in the village ofWehnde; from this village he will go to Gottingen itself, and then by the Harz to Hanover. " BRUSSELS, SEPT. 13.—1 t appears that his Majesty the King of England, under the title of " Earl of Dublin," will arrive in this capital on the 18th. Every preparation to receive him has already been made in the Hotel of Lord Clan carty, the British Ambassador. It is added, that his Majesty will remain at Brussels the 19th and 20th, and continue on the 21st his journey to Germany."

PCN.—Two collegians, visiting a fashionable watering-place, inquired for 'lodgings, and were informed they could only have indifferent bed rooms on the second floor. They had not long agreed for them, and returned to their inn, when one received a note from the owner of the rooms, stating, " that, on account of the press of com pany, &c. they could 'only have the garrets !"

EDITOR—III this country I presume that the humblest individual possesses an inherent right to canvas the acts of the Public Officers; and with this view I am induced to trouble you with a few observations_ on the public conduct of the Middlesex Coroner. Upon an election of a Co roner, he swears in open Court " That he will " diligently and truly do and accomplish all " and every thing and things appertaining to " his office, after the best of his cunning, wit, ‘ 4 and power, both for the King's profit, and the " good of the inhabitants within the said coun " ty." All the hooks agree in making it part of the Coroner's duty to state the law to the Jury, the Jury are then to find the facts, which is their verdict, and which the Coroner is obliged to take, if it is agreeable to law, but not without ; and I appre hend that if a Jury will not find a legal verdict, the Coroner is not compelled to record an illegal one, and that in fact an illegal verdict is no verdict. If the Jury refuse to give a legal ver dict, the Coroner may adjourn them to the As sizes, where the Judges may fine them.—(vide 3 Buls. 173.)—Coroners have only to inquire of accessaries before the fact.—(Jenkins, 177, p. 54.)—1n - Manslaughter there can be no acces sary before the fact,—(vide 1 Hal. 437.)----In the case of HONEY, it *as proved that his death was occasioned by a pistol-ball ; it is impossible that two persons can. at the some time discharge the same pistol, and, as the law says, there can be no accessary in Manslaughter, if Murder is nega tived by a verdict of Manslaughter, it cannot be a legal verdict, but against the person discharg ing the pistol : and a Coro'ier recording a ver dict again9t divers persons, when one only could be guilty on the face of his own proceedings, can not be said to execute his office " for the good "of the inhabitants of the County." Coroners are bound - to keep to the rules of law in the exe cution of their office ; it is their duty to draw up their inquisitions according to those rules which' require certainty and ought to contain— gals, Quando, Übi ' quid cujus quomodo quare.—(Vide Umfreville on Coroner ' s Law, and the cases there cited, Title Inquisition.) In the inquisition I am alluding to, the first requisite is wanting—the name of the offender : that alone vitiates the whole ; it is not a verdict against a person unknown ; it partly describes the offender, but it is void for uncertainty. It is the duty of a Coroner, after verdict of Murder or. Manslaughter, to issue his warrant for the ap prehension of the offender ; to bind some person over to prosecute, and the witnesses to give testi mony. What did the Coroner do in this instance ? he discharged his Jury without binding over any person ; he ought to know that the verdict was i I le gal, and he omitted any subsequent act, as unne cessary. That the Coroner has the power to prevent an illegal verdict being recorded, I trust I have already proved ; and the only doubt that exists in my mind is, in what way he is punish able for not so doing. I should much wish a legal opinion on this point. Query—Whether a Co roner recording an illegal verdict against innocent persons, apparent on MS' inquisition, can be in dicted at their instance for a libel ? That the Jury are punishable where theiiverdict be noto riously wrong, is quite clear—(vide 4 Black. Com. 361.)—1t is not to be supposed that the Guards will permit this libel to remain on record —they, of course, will move the Court of King's Bench for a rule to compel the Coroner to return his inquisition, which will be immediately quash ed upon application, for the reasons above stated, which reasons will - equally apply to. Francis's case; and then, perhaps, the - Judges will deliver their opinions on this Coroner's conduct, for the direction of officers in similar situations. As some of your friends may perhaps answer my Query, I should be obliged by your inserting this letter in your Paper,—and remain your obedient servant, _______________________ A COUNTRY CORONER. *** As our Paper is patronized by the legal world, insomuch as to have been styled, in the Metropolitan Law Society, " The Lawyer's Paper," we hope that some of our professional friends will attend to the query of our respectable Correspondent.—The Coroner of Middlesex has long been esteemed for knowledge and integrity, and, considering that the extraordinary circum stances which attended the examination in question were enough to bewilder the soundest mind, we can hardly wonder that he should be willing to put an end to so disgusting a 'business. Marshal K ELLERMAN, Duke of Valmy, hav ing desired that his heart should be deposited in the field of the battle of Vainly-, his son and friends resolved to fulfil his wishes. A monu ment was erected on the field of battle at the ex pence of the inhabitants of St.Menehould, Valmy, Chalons, &c. The 3d of September was the day appointed for the interment of the General's heart, and the ceremony was performed in the morning of that day, in the presence of a vast concourse of .pepple. The following inscription, said to have been dictated by the Marshal him self, was plaeat " Here lie the bra've who savel Frarice on the 20th of Sep tember of 1792.

He states that as a battle could not fail to take place in a day or two, he had resolved on remaining for the time at Ipsara,l where he had recently arrived. " The French Cabinet courier, Lafortier, com ing from Petersburgh with dispatches, passed through Berlin on the 6th, on his way to Paris. He shelved the greatest anxiety to reach his des tination with every dispatch. " We hear from Corfu that intelligence has been received there of the arrival in the Morea of a considerable number of French, English, and German officers, to take part with the insur gent Greeks. An American ship, the Mississipi, a rrived lately in the Archipelago, having on board several French officers ; among whom was an officer of Engineers, Amedee de Renneville, who was born in the environs of Parga, and who is known by a pamphlet which he published for merly against Napoleon, entitled La Feuille verte. " The report of an immediate Congress at Frankfort still gains ground. (By Express.)—" We have this moment re ceived the following news from Vienna, dated the 4th of this month: ' The courier which brought the answer of the Cabinet of Russia to the note sent by the Ottoman Porte to Petersburg, in reply to the ultimatum, per formed the journey in thirteen days. It is stated that, in the absence of the Emperor Alexander, who is gone to Odessa, the Russian Ministers declared they could not come to any decision respecting it, and all they could do was to forward the note of the Ottoman Government to his Imperial Majesty. " A IX-LA-CHAPELLE, SEPT. 11.—The Austrian General Nugent is arrived at Berlin. We know not whether his journey is connected with any political object. " The King of Wurtemberg has just inspected the whole of his troops. We are assured that the Sovereigns of Bavaria, Baden, and the Grand Duchy of Hesse, are also going to review their troops. " The news in circulation here is calculated to diminish the hopes we had for some days en terta:ned, that peace between the Porte and Russia would not be interrupted. 'Cis asserted, that the Cabinet of Petersburgh insists more than ever on the occupation of Moldavia and Wala chia by its troops. MAYENCE, SEPT. s.—The immediate meet ing.of a Congress, composed if not of the great Monarchs, at least of their principal Ministers, is much talked of in our prinince. What is very certain, however, is, that preparations are making at the Castle of Johannsberg for the reception of its august possessor, whose arrival is expected at latest about the same time the King of England will visit this country. This Monarch is expect ed at llamburg towards the end of this month. 4 ' VIENNA, SEPT. 4.—Letters have been re ceived from Smyrna, dated the 11 th of August, annonncing fresh commotions and massacres in that unfortunate town. In the beginning of August the Turks paraded the streets with arms, and under the pretext of the supposed discovery of a conspiracy, they murdered the most distin guished Greeks. About twenty Genoese who were at Smyrna on commercial affairs were de nounced as Greek agents. These unfortunate men were arrested and threatened with death, and notwithstanding the most spirited appeals in their behalf from the English and French Consuls, the Turks massacred them the same night.

The Arnauts were billeted in different houses; but the next day Sava was desired to repair to th e Seraskier's house, w' e e he was shot immediateli on his arrival. The Arnauts made some resist' . ance 2 but the Turks s t fire to the houseo 4 which they had , shut themselves up, and the greater number perished in the flames.

" AUG. 24.—[Extract of a private Lettee.]'" My last accounts respecting Caniman Sava ze fully confirmed. The houses of the Austrian and Russian Consuls were pillaged and LINO' lisped on that occasion. The number of t r oops who have surrendered in consequence of th t amnesty is reckoned at 2000 ; the greater nurt r ber of whom have been put to death.
