After the departure of his friends, he 'demanded from or a pistol, which the boy durst not• refuse.. He first,- however, opened the pan, and endeavoured to sh'ake out the prim ing.

VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—Jerome 13nonaparte is said td have purchased the estate of Eugersfeld, adja cent to his estate of Scitonan. Madame Murat, it is said, has purchased, for 900,000 florins, the Lordship of Ort, between Vienna and Presburg, belonging to the banker, Count Fries. The Count has just returned from Prague, where he is reported to have con c luded with Fondle, in conjunction with the banker of Prague, M. Von Lamel, the sale of his estate near Pyxis. FIAMBURGET, OCT. 3.—The great house cf lwae Muhaclow, of St. Petersburgh, has tailed for 1,700,000 roubles. The Duke Of Cambridge is going to receive the homage of East Friesland and Osnabruck, for the Prince Regent. A Gentleman informs us that, very much to his surprize, he on Tuesday morning last saw at Liverpool, in the custody of a Police-officer, peter Lever, on a charge of but glary committed in the neighbourhood of Stockport. The Officer was proceeding ,with this man to a Magistrate, for ex - - amination„and : had captured . him Just previous l y to his sailing forAtnerica, on board the. Mercury, to the Captain of which vessel - he had actually paid the sum of seven guineas . fOr hiSpassage.- 7 The cause of our informant's sor.prize was this : He well knew that the above Petertever was one of the seven men comtnitted to Lancaster some time ago, and lately, by:the clemency of Govern ment, discharged; and in behalt of whom the, pub lic sympathy had beets in some degree raised, under the title'of THE UNFOKTUNATi KLANKETERRS and it naturally struck . bun as a curious coincidence, that a , I3lanketeer's emancipation: should be so suddenly followed by his apprehension on a charge which strikes at all domestic security ; a burglary by men with their faces blucked.—lt therefore tot lows, that' before Political Reformers have any share of public benevolence communicated to them, their private characters should be, well on= der4tood.—(Manchegter Chronicle.)

It terminated on SaturtJay ; seven questions - were put to the Jury as to the guilt of the nine prisoners, with which ,they retired at a quarter past four in the, aftei noon, and remained in deliberation till half- past eleven at night.

Saturday G 5 f, 55 c• There is a rumour, we understand, on the Con tinent, that disturbances ,arely to break forth in Prussia. One of the causes upon • which this report is fotinded, is said to be the delay of the Prussian Monarch to bring forward the new Con stitution which had been promised to his people.. It is unfortunately certain chat there were differ ences between the KING and the PRINCE ROYAL, and the latter is thought to be rather too. anxious in coutting popularity. But we hear, and we hope with truth, that the differenees have been re moved, and harmony perfectly restored between these Royal Personages. When, however, the Heir Apparent to a Throne betrays a spirit of ambition adverse to the measures and wishes of his-Father and his' Monarch, there is always reason to fear that it will break forth upon, some occasion or other, particularly if it should bOcOmbined with a disposition to pay a dangerous homage to the pb pulaee. But though ..Matters are-thus. understood tQbe,reconciled,,betWeen the Ning and his. Son,. discontents are said to prevail among thepeople, who, as in all countries, are subject to . t he insidious stimulation of factious men, who, to.,raise them selves, are even willing to. hazard ,the • safety of their country, Such, we are assured,'' is the case in Prussia, and we have bees toldtlat'there have been accounts received in town which-are of a nature that cannot be safely published in the pre sent state of affairs. Happy shall we be to find that these rumours are fallacious, or at least much exaggerated, for the world has had: enough of re volutions in the dreadful excesses of France, which presented a lesson to mankind that ought to be renembered - - With horror to the latest pos terity. It seems to he the aim of the French Ministers if ts.ot to effect, if possible, the removal of the Allied Troops from France, at least to emleavotir to please the people by arpeating to be atrxidus for their removal. Indeed it is probable that. they , - are sincere; for if the Army 9f Ocmipation,were Ctualty . to iCa.Ve - the - Fret4h terlitories, .sonic thot'c Milkistelt would she* thcii• teal sentimenti' and nci t•tery sOlicitout hoN Family tin the throne.
