As a proof of the new feeling which the change of conduct in young 'foledo had ex cited in the breast of the father, the letter states, that he has submitted to the most painful sacri fices, in remitting bins the money he had asked for, sic his means were barely sufficient to support a wimerous family.

" Secretary says, that " The prods illation of General Morillo is in direct. opposition to the laws of nations, for leveret rea?uns, and especially for the following :—Pecause he declares in a state, of blockade aeons! of Imodreds of miles in exit rat ; and because he authorizes the captive and condemnation of neutral vessels at an hide terminate distance from the coast." " Surely hi , Excellency has not remarked that the two meridians of the mouth of Niegthilella and Cape Tilmrou, and the two parallels of the same points ia.u.m a square,' and though it is enclosed by imag.Aary lines, they are nevertheless hoou II and among nations, their na%igators, and their tribunals, wilco controtersies oo the subject arise.—Ant 1 may add, that 1 took special care to insert iiiat very article, solely (rOin a desire not to leave it.iy thing to hypothesis, Otero/ore, 1 did not reter in degrees of latitude and longitude of those places, for recourse might be had to false charti or maps, as has been practised before, and create an unpleasant difference on a subject so clear.

" I had in, that' sea, when the blockade. was es tablished, two frigates, two corvettes,' nine schooners, one brig, and thirteen gua-boats in the titer Atrato, the main object of the block ade--I Make this explanation to your EXcelleucy, that yon miry judge whether these may,te. coo tidered a 'competent and adequate force, or n0t...-. Hot root only do not admit: what the. Secretary insists on es an indispensable 'principle, but 1 deem it to be manifestly opposed to the general 'practice of nations, much more when there is a question of the King + s possession in America, as I shall demonstrate in the sequel.

" This is in contradiction to the practice of all maritime nations, Inadmissible en Aeelarit tion has preceded the blockade, au ! utterly Inap plicable to the King's possessions in America. " Thu reasoning which your Excellency; did me .the honour to attribute to me, in justification of the blockade of the said coast and ports, is very just, and evinces your' Excellency's penetration, in establishing as my position, that every Sovc. reign may sieclare war against another, blockade his ports, and that after the pnblication of it, be has a right to commit hostilities against any, un.; der whatever' flag they be, that ay attempt to infringe it. 2d. That every Sover may attempt to infringe it. 2d. That ever SQvereig may block ade the: ports and coasts of his rebel Subjects when ever he pleases ; and I may say furthermore, that it is a declaratioo of enmity 'on the part of other nations when they Interfere to pralike the mea sure. 3(1. That the King of Spaio and the loath, has established a blockade of' all his ports in the tidies, recognized by all nations, gilarallt red by several, and obligatory on alt, in virtue of which, it was, not indispensably necessat y to d'velare the blockade of Carthagena and that codst,,,,bot to enforce anobservanee of the Coarda Costa Ordinance's. However, in order to avoid tin pleasant ,discussion, and to lay down fixed' roles for the government of navigators, I would not avail myielf of that right, bay. lug . been " assured that hi the year 1794, those same United.

SnaLT6H, Esq. •Cornnerfor London, on the body of Hugh Doyle, 'a "boy, aged only 13 years, who put a period to hit existence by blowing his brains out. John Murphy, of Old-street-road, said,jhe was a neighbour of the deceased's tither, wi.O is a traveller, and lives a feW doors from w itness's' house. Oa Thursday, the 26th of December last, he met him at thehaek of his home,- talking to his landlord ; they walked a little way, when the last mentioned person left them ; the hthev- of the tleerasvil titers informed witness his son had robbed. hint of some money. They returned to the back of the house, and tound 'the deceased here, when his father calkd hint a rasca4 and a villain, and reproached hint for hilt improper COD duet. Witness said, Well, Sir, this is a pretty thing yon hate been doing, .robbing your father, &e."' and gave him some good advice, to which he'paid nor a•tention, but walked away, and went Into the house. Winless anti the deCeased's titer (Mr. Doyle) Ixent into an adjoining pntilie• house, and had a pint of porter, but had nut been there Jong before a school-fellow of one of Mr. Doyle's sons came running, in, and said Master Doyle's ear was bleeiling.very melt ;. they, went . to the honie inuuediately,• and ,t6.their astonish ment found .the deceased lying on the floor in'a state of insensibility, and weltering in I,k bloosk po,:ket pistol ; svas lying by his side, which bad' been ilisebargeti h r his ear. A brace of pistols were always lying loaded on the mantle-piece, when Mr. Doyle: Was its town. Very few perSoiss heard the report of the p;stol. Some blacksmiths were at tie door for Christmas,liq%es', as Mr. Doyle kept a 'intake, with whose assistance they pat the deceased gently into a chair, and then to bed, The only words by ottertA all the titne - were, " Pray do' not• hint me." A medical Gentleman as' sent for, who blvd him, anti ordered him to he kept quit! The unfortunata•yonth wins taken to the hovitul tin xt day, lie had'heard the de• ceased was a very bad boy, and behaved its a very (140beThent maitour to his parents, who Were very indulgent to him. 111 r. Doylc, rather of the deceased, Said, his de cease l sou been apprenticed to a 111t1SiC string-, In..lk ee , in which. bosiness' there is a great deal of brimstooe used; this had so materially injured his that he was obliged to put him tinder the 'bands of a medical man, and he recovered ; he was persuaded not to , send him to the 'above business any more, but to bt ing hint up its a butcher, and he was to have left him hr iiitort time. On Cloris,tmas.tiaylast witness's wife dined (It'd friend's house in the tummy, (where the was , to have staid some time) and witness dined at a friend's, ;caving only the deceased a . l the servant to mind the house. The next morning, on going to his drawer,' he missed a 'considerable qiiantit y 01 silver, and in the presence of the last wit ness, charged the deceased with the robbery, which was confessed ; be reproa c hed him with his shameful behaviour, and threatened to send hint to sea ; • he paid no at. tention to him, but walked away. He was of a very morose disposition, and whenever witness or. Ilia wife asked hull anytituestions, he would gristlier sharply, or not at all. Mr. Thomas Taylor, a dresser of the hospital, said, the deceased was received into the Hospital on Friday evening last; the ball was close to the right ear, and the pistol must have been pat to that ear, as the flesh was m o il lacerated. Be Was bled, arid every attention paid to him. The Sur. genii who examined hint could f ee l t h e f racture d bone, but not the bull ; the temple bone had been forced downward toward the angle of the muscle near the neck. He was sometimes sensible and sometimes delirious, but never informed witness what his reason was for committing the desperate act. lie died on Triesday,evening, and attar his death the head :was opened ; the brain WAS disco. vered to he very Much !njuted.. A female belongin g t o the Hospital stated, that during the deceased's confinement he • had been very penitent, and was frequently praying dermas ly for .forgiveness of his sins. ,The Coroner having read over the whole of the evidence, the Jury retired to aliotber room, where they remained about halt au hour, and on their return, 'Die Foreman stiited to the Cmoner, that not having heard the slightest: proof of the dereasi.;,d'a insauity, •t we've of ahem agrecd t,n a loenliet of lido de se, hist that on the contrary side, the other four (the Jury was coinpu,cll, SIXtVcII pcions) were of. opinion he committed the act in a fit of mental derangement, uhc.n The Coroner replied, that whenever a Jury is composed of mole.thrin twelve, it OVCIVO of that Jury were of one (Tinian, it .was i stifficiunt, ; .and a Verdict. was lecortlitiglygi.otnt of-- 14 Pelt) de sr~, • Mr. SHELTON w;ls tlbota to leave the room, wheii applicatiuu w made by the (Levi:4lyd); .4L •• thus., thtongi, the . of Another person, lin Ilk consent to the removal of the body for into went, when Mr. S. said, that however •paiutlit the Verdict might be to the feelings of the portal, he was obliged to refuse his setrtest.

Coroner for !Middlesex , on the body of Henry Webb, who was found is the New River, near the Jolly' Butchers ptlhh 4 house, with his throat cut. From the evidence adduced it appeared, that the deceased was about furry years of age; he had lived in the service of Mr.. Elphinstn"e' and since of Mr. Nichols, of Whetstone, es a coachman, but he had been lately out of place, in consequence of some imputation on his character; and melancholy and dejection lisd seized his mind. On his body being taken out 01 the water he was completely dressed, with his hat on ; no appearance of blood was on his clothes, bin on being taken to the public house and his pockets searched, blood was discovered upon his shirt, and upon untying his neck handkerchief A :deep wound was found in his throat, which had completely severed the windpipe, yet neither an his.bandkerchief nor .on the external part of his dress was there the least appearance of blood. The witnesses, however, supposed,' that as his person was completely immersed in the water, th e stains might have disappeared ; vet on the other.. hand the labouring man Who fou n d hi m , and wild worked in the employ o f t h e New River Compaq , . thought he h a d b een i n t h e water b ut a short t i m e, and to the view of th e Jury lie seemed to have been very recently dead.
