Uu this CirCUMS, * anCe b e in g m ad e 'know n to Rear,Adtniral DouG l ) 4B, lie instantl y communicated it to the Policek and we are , baPpy to a dd th a t after a considerable search about 'the city he was found late 0.0 AlumidY evening' at a lonise in West -street, aMt lodged in the Guard -house. On the following morn ing he was brought -before the Magistrates, and stated his name to be PtERRE PERLER, a Frenci'.‘a watt, from Bourdeaux ; that he was Purser in the Guerricr, which was last from Aux-Cayes, and had been sent ashore by the Captain (BEL- Canoe) to . purchase some barrels of pork and either provisions ; that the schooner had a Com mission from BR/ON and BOLIVAR, and had recap tured the brigantine under English colours, af ter she was in possession of a British Officer, and at the time hoisted Venezuelian colours, and fired one gun to bring her to. Upon go ing on board of her, they took out some wine, rum, and bees' wax, and the vessel was or slered to Aux-Cayes, but did not go in, as her slestinat ion was afterwards changed for Margaritta. On obtaining the necessary provisions, the Guer sitr was to have sent a boat to take examinant from off the Palisadoes. He brought ashore some znusiins, checks, corals, &c. as presents to the relatives of Belgarde in this city, and had been before ashore, once while in the Popa, from Car thagena. He was remanded for further, CRltllli natiou." It is evident, from the perseverance of the Morning Chronicle, as we find this day, in abusing the S.pecch of Lord CASTLEREAGH on the close e , ethe Parliamentary Session, that the Party, and particularly Mr. BROUGHAM, writhe tinder the strong and ivrefragable facts and arguments which that Speech contained. It seems, in the opinion (lithe Chronicle, that Lord CASTLEREAGH, Li hi, zeal to protect LEGITIMACY, the is, REGU LAR GoVERNMENT, throughout Europe, thongia the rights and property of British Subjects were " things beneath his notice." The charge is ab solutely ritliculous, and the Chronicle has too much sense not to know that it is so.— Another point upon which the Party are 6611 sore, and no wonder, is, that his Lordship oh:fended the Suspension of the HABEAS COREUS Act. Here, too, the Chronicle most know, that it is reasoning against its own conviction, and that it the Suspension Lad not taken place we should have heen exposed, to use its own words, " to the danger of anarchy,"that is, to all the horrors of rebellion, massacres, &c. &c. which lesulted from the French Revolution. On . these points it is unnecessary for uS to dilate, as the Chronicle is fully aware ti at it is. at- I , tempting to reason against truth and com mon sense. But we are really surprized to see the Chronic:e degrading itself this day on the sub jec.-t of Affidavits collected in Ireland, and refused cu be heard in an English Court oh Justice, but rt,v;,:cti ;Inr,tl7.ti- and sir.

Brit the most suspicious part of the article to which we allude, in the Chronicle of this day; iS that which relates to Sir SUDKIN FITZGEHALo. The article is written in d kind of wild absurdity that is hardly intelligible, and which therefore we ate sure could not haVecome-intu. the pen of the'Proprietor of the l'Aper. It casts much abuse upon this. Sir JUDKLN, brit knOW gentle Reader, that this Sir JUDKIN is "down anion , g the dead men," aS the song says, and the Chronicle itself obseives; that " the dead tell no tales."—We may therefore iri ter that these tales of the dead would mit b told if Sir JunKiN were living. We leave the Chrou'xte, thetvfore, to reflect whether to revile fire m'ernory of one who cannot defend liimself ls' , colltisZeut With liberality, candour, justice, or decency ; or, whether it is possible for the Public to place the least confidence in the grounds of this posthumous defamation. As to the other Persons who were sa harshly described by the firm. of MCSSI'S• BROUGHAM, I3ENNET, and BURDETT, they bad the privilege of Parliament in their favour, but if they rely upon the facts which they stated, and believe the Persons whom they so bitterly attacked to be deserving of all the vi. fulcra representations ..hick they made of the conduct and Charade's of thpse Persons,. let the firm now come forward and repeat their allegations, when they can only be sanc tioned by TUUTIi and JUSTICE.. We tin Vise the Chronicle to drop this sultject, for it ciao do no credit to it on any grounds of policy, prudence, or . eUfllllloll CHll4Olll'. The Dublin Evening Post very earnestly en quites—" Why had not the Catholic Bishops an Agent in Route?" We itiswer—because any coimounication of a Briti,h Subject with the Pope, upon matters of an ecclesiastical nature, is tor hidden by our ancient and unrepealed law, as a Misdemeanour, if not as High Treason. The prohibition, however, is grossly evaded, and ought to be rigorously enforced. Colonel MeAltinoN, who has long been in the confidential service of the PRINCE REGENT, and most deservedly so, is, we are very sorry to find, in such in►iiffereut health, that he has been oblig cd to solicit permission of his Royal Master to retire. The Prince will thereby► lose a valuable servamt,and an est►mableman. All too who have had occasion to Make application to his Royal Highness, will have reason to regret the Colonel's resignation, as no person, in any office, has ever bee'n more accessible on such occasi►►ns, or more ready to promote the .objects of ,jus►ice and hu manity, or to smooth the road for untriended me rit of every desciiptinwi.

PROVINCIAL HARMONY.—The Catch and Glee singing, at the Red Lion Inn, Fareham, [huts, on Tuesday last, attracted a numerous and re spectable audience, and afforded the highest de light to all the lovers of harmony assembled on the occasion. Three Companies of Singers pre sewed themselves, and having first requested Messrs. T. Hosittss, MILLS, and DAVIS to act as Umpires, the Fareham Gentlemen commenced with a most beautiful Glee, " The Orient Blaze 3" the Chichester Gentlemen sang, " When , crabbed Age," and the Gentlemen from Gosport followed, with " Hark ! how the renovating Spring."--The nominsted Glee " Who comes so dark," was next sung by each party; afterwards another Glee and Catch : the whole of which was periortned with that precision, expression, and chasteness of execution, that left a difficulty in the Judges to determine which among the competi tors possessed the greatest merit. After some consideration, the Umpires decided that Messrs. Fryer, Parker, G. and B. Garrett, of Gosport, having produced the most difficult music, and sang so correctly to time, were entitled to the first prize ; that Messrs. Webber, Palmer, Lutf, and Trigg, from Chichester (whose style of sing ing was certainly most admirable), had merited the second prize ; and Alessrs. E. Parker, Frank lin, E. and.J. Nicholson, of Fareham, the third. A large party then partooksof a most excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Harris, for the occasion ; after which singing was resumed, and, it possible, excelled the morning's performance. The greatest harmony ambeonviviality prevailed, and the com pany separated at a late hour, highly gratified with one of the richest feasts of vocal music that had been enjoyed in this county for many years. CRINI.CON.-10 the case of littowNP. V. BLAKE, which came on last 'Wednesday in the Irish Court of Common Pleas, before. Lord NottuußY and a Special Jnry, the damages were laid at 30,0001. The Jury, however, gave a verdict for the defen dant with sixpence costs. The extraordinary liber ties allowed by the plaintiff to his wife, and the general looseness of her character, as proved by. the evidence, were, no doubt, the grounds of the Verdict, The liberality of the proprietor of the famous Leicestershire Sheep Pot.-:! , r, in givi , ag small qnantities gratis last season , as a tri a l, h as brought its m er its t o the proof, for in no one in stance has it failed in producing the desired effect, and has been the means of saving immense num bers of that invaluable species, xvhen attacked in the hot mouths: in fact, the success attending its use has been so great, that the proprietor has been scarcely able to supply the encreasing de mand for it, licit only in England, but also in Scotland, %there it has been, adwinistered by many breeders, with equal benefit.

On Friday night last, a blast thok place on, board the Fly, BROWN, of Ely, %Old, had instl been laden with coals at Mr. Blandling's staid), in the River Tyne. The hatches were lastenea down about eight o'clock, and about half past 11, the master _having been writing in his cabin, the inflammable gas from the coal, haveog, it appears, found its %vav from tl►e hold, ignited at his candle as he was going to bed, and exploded. The mas ter ?vas seriously scorched, but is recovering. His bed curtains were set on fire ; thA hatches were burst open, and u boat whirl] was upon them, thrown off. Two planks on the deck were blown bp. The other men on board were in bed, and received no hurt, excelling; the mate, who was thrown out of bed, and i is toes a little burnt,. and his whiskers singed off, The cat also lost het whiskers, and much singed. The frequency of these accidents of late, Thews the imprudence of immediately fastening down the hatches upo4 a cargo ,of fresh coals, as they emit the gas tot some time after they are raised from the mine. We understand that the Shipping Interest in general are dereentined to resist the Combination of some of the•boatmen at Deal, and to- encou• rage all those who have withdrawn from the Deal boatman's Society. It is very probable that the boatmen who reside at Wainer will, in the.next Sessions of Parliament, be enabled to obtain censes, and be put on the same footing as others, as they are generally considered to be a very or derly and industrious class of meth The City of Winchester will be nnusually gay this week.

FLOOD UPON Tun TitAma.—The great flood upon the name, within the last few days, has been mistakenly attributed to the late rains. We regret to state, that it hasheen crusted by the burst ing of a large reservoir, attached to the canal, in NOrtliamptonshire ; and whlcl4, coining in contact with some small streams running into the Thame, has poured an immense deluge of water upon the line c ! f that river, flooding a great extent of beautiful meadow land, ripe tor the scythe, from the borders of Derbyshire, through the suburbs of Tarnworth, Hop was, Coleshni, &c. to the vicinity of Birmingham.
