C.\Pc Revs - . - , 'OCT. 6, 1317 7 —The business of instruction is proceeding here kith great vigour. National Seminaries haze been formed at Cape Henry, Port de Paix, Sans &mei, and Gonaivcs, which contained 420 scholars, and the first of which has furnished monitors to all the rest.- -Another school is about to be opened at St. Mart's, and a new school.rOom is erecting at Sans Souci, to contain 1000 scholars. Besides these national schools, where instruction is gratuitous, and which are wholly founded and maintained by King Henry, the town of Cape Henry is filled with small elementary schools for the poorer classes, who cannot as yet he all accommodated in the nationaischools, where the children are taught, at a very moderate rate, to read, write, and cipher. Indeed all the inhabitants are oblig ed, under a penalty, to send their children to school as SUM) as they attain a sufficient aue.— On e of the sehollirsin the national school at Cape Henry, a son of Baron Perrier, has formed a little elementary school at his father's hottse, where a rrioul has been allotted to him, in which he in structs several of his yonog companions in the in tervals between school hours. At the national school-room at Cape ,henry, • Divine service is performed according ,to the forins of the Church of England every Sitnaay morning, by Mr, Guth- Ver, the teacher, or one of the strangers resident at the Cape. The congregation of boys is_ re spectable. The strangers occasionally attend, es pecially the ladies of the family of an American merchant, who arc, in general, very regular. A Chaplain of the Church of England would be a very desirable acquisition. A soldier, named Basher. of the 28th regiment, now at Goßport, under orders for the Mediterra nean, has become possessed of upwards of 130,0001. by tlie decease of a Gentleman in the West In►lies, who had realized property amounting to 400,000/. which is directed to be divided between three per sons, who are thus unexpectedly advanced front a state of indigence to the ►weans of passing the re mainder. of their days in of and splendour.

LATE MURDER OF MR. PHILLIPS. The Journal d'ilmiens gives the following ex tract from the iudicuuent against Frederic, the German, who is accused of having murdered Mr. Phillips. The cause is carried before the Prevotal Court of the Department of the Somme : Phillips, u fruit-merchant of Lond(in, had, for several years, empldyed as an agent at Dieppe the above-rlAmed Frederic Freiliangen; Phillips landed at . Calais towards the latter end of List September, with money for his comovrcial transactions, and hail appointed Frederic Freihangen' to meet him at the hotel of the Tete de PALut, at- Abbeville, on the 7th October. There they met accordingly, and set off together the same day, bet wee!' seven and right o'clock in the evening,,. to i zo to Dieppe. They travelled in a cabriolet, drawn by one horse, with which Freihangen had come Irons Dieppe to Abbeville. Arrived a little beyond the village of Miauny, they alighted, and it was there that Freihangen, having armed himself with some large flints that were lying about, struck Phillips on the head, aril fractu►ed his skull. He then (bagged the body into the fields; about fifty paces from the road side, and rifled it of money and a watch. This double eri.ne being tints perpetrated, he remOunt ed the cabriolet, and arrived at the town Of Eu about two o'clock in the morning, where he alighted at the inn of Sienr Durorry..: The next day, between seven and eight o'clock, he ordered some water to be brought him to wash his bands, still dyed with blood, and to cleanse some parts of his clotiies, whiei rvcre also bloody. Not having sufficient water to wash his riding coat, he went into a neighbouring park and washed it in the water. On Friday, .the I Oth of October, Freihangen was arrested, while returning to ?Abbeville. They totind upon his person a sum amounting to about 157 francs, almost nil in gold, a watch, and some papers. There were many spots Of blood in the interior of the cabriolet'; they found also three gloves all bloody, one of which belonged to Freihangen, and two to Phillips. Since his arrest the accused has endeavoured to destroy himself, by it.flicting, with a razor, three large wounds, one upon his throat, and two upon his left 'ann. .In consequence of these facts. the Prevotal Court has declared itself compel rut, as there are suffi cient grounds of suspicion against Freihangen, of homicide voluntarily committed, followed by rob. bery; in a ptiblic place. On Tuesday last a human skiletat was dug up in the garden of Mrs. Aldridge, at Maidenhead. The hones appear as if they had laid there three or four years, and are doubtless the relit - pies of sun►e unfortunate victim to assassination. A cot tage had been built near the place by Mr. Joshua Aldridge, nearly six years since, the garden in closed, and premises let to the notorious bra►►cis Povey, now a prisoner in Reading gaol, on a charge of house-breaking. ey erected a goose shed on the spot, under %Odell the bones were fonntl, and this accounts for their remaining so long undiscovered, although the garden was ire-- quently dug, and the bones but a little . .nistance beneath the surface of the earth. Since the ap prehension of Francis Povey, his brother William . took possession of the premises, tie: Mrs. Ald rige improved them for her own habitation, and entered thereon a month ago ; no other tenant ever occupied the house. Au enquiry is takillg plac:: on the subject, and a labouring man, named • IVilliam Allen, is recollected to have disappeared from Maidenhead nearly four.years since : it was supposed at the time he had gone on a v sit to his sister, hat it is.now understood that she has never Iseen ur heard (rum hilts since that period.

TnE QUEEN, &C.—At twenty minutes before seven yesterday morning, the Duke of: CLARENCE left Windsor in a post-chariot and four, to pre cede the Queen, in her journey to Bath. A little after seven, the QUEEN, accompanied by the Plincess ELIZABETH, left the Castle, followed by their attendants in three carriages and boor. Two of the carriages took post horses at the Star Inn, Maidenhead ; the carriage of her MAJESTY . passed On with tier own horses, to a relay posted at the house near the Thicket. The Royal Party ap peared to be in good health, but melancholy was depicted out their countenances. They passed through Reading at half-past nine o'clock,, but it was supposed that her MAJESTY ‘VOlild not alight unt:l they reached M.lrlborough, which they would probably (I() abunt one. The loyal y did not change horses at Newbury ; the relay of horses, which had been posted there, wereor dered to Meet the Royal carriage at a short dis tance Iron] the town, and the QUEEN pa.,sed ra pidly through it.

A TRICK In 1792, when the Irish - Pari;is were per;' Boning 'the Irish Protestant Legislature for 11 !‘ privilege of voting at elections, they officiAlif stated this argument in their own favour '! That the right of ettkiefireoutil never endou; t' " the Protestant Establishment, as it did not gi"` " the tight of being elected." And this latter ri;t o they expressly disclaimed all purpose of ,asking ; and they declared, that they would notrenderlh d ivilege whiCh . they then sought AK:cessary to tLe ulterior boon which they did not seek. Boto no sooner was the right of electing obtained, thol l they called it an insult and mockery, without I 1" right of being el'ected ; and the privilege of votioo for Protestants was endeavoured to he perverts into the privilege of voting , fdr Papists.--T4 have now advanced a step farther, in thankle: 4 insolence :—they refuse to vote for any Protest' ant Candidate, who will not pledge himself 0 vote for Rmnanizing our Legislature. ThiS is gross, Jesuitical dishonesty. It h i s even the grace of an equivocation. It is broute and shameless falsehood.
