From the departments bordering on the Rhine,
general complaints have reached the Emperor, re-
swain the usury praaised by certain individuals
professing the Jewish religion. An investigation
of the has has proved that the fruit of thil usury
would have entirely consumed the riches and the
resource; of those beautiful provinces. The Em-
peror found it necessary to calm the just apprehen-
sions of so many thousands of farmers: but w!iile
be applied a partial and in<tantane,lis rerne.'y, he
formed a more vast concep.i.-.ne and of more lov-
able ;t '! once ; he beheld, in ancient habits, and in
the false interpretation of certain points of doelrine,
the primary cause of the evil which hal excited
these complaint..

In order to avoid the necessity of perpetuating
either precaltions or punishments, he resolved to
',venerate the manners of a portion of that class,
by the concursence of the whole class, by the
• ce of the religious authority to whose laws it sub-
mits. The Emperor knew that among the Jews in
his dominions there are great numbers of persons
whose opinions are sound, whose conduct i, irre-
proachable, who would be the first to deplore the
brethren ; and so far from

CHANCE' OF IIiSISTRY.

'The Ministerial Prir.ts of yesterday did sot af-
•ford the satisfaCtory explanation which we ex.
petted, upon the subjeift of the wicked mil abomi-
nable report of a change of Ministry ; a report,
the more atrocious, as being of the coinage 404
propagation of The Moplimg Her ild ; a Print, pro.
fessing the true Ministerial faith, and a m sat en.
thusiastic devotion to the Treasury. Tb 4 Coarser
of last night, the very model of consistency and
pure unfrenchified loyalty, from the first moments
of its existence, deeply affelted at this urduti ful
behaviour on the part of /be Morning Herat!, has
naticed this frightful backsliding of its brother
Print in the following terms :
" We have never given the slightest credit or
currency to the rumours which nave been in cir.
culatiiin for several days, of inioisterial changes be-
ing in contemplation, and of Mr. Csasiono being
about to occupy another post. There is nu found-
ation kr them, and their circulation is is one
point of view calculated to do much mischief. If
the Foreign Ambassadors, resident at our Court,
or the Ministers abroad, believe that a change in
our Foreign Depai mien: is in c‘interaplation, they
will naturally wait to ascertain whether their belief
be well or ill fou.ided. In the meats time they
will be less communicative and open with the
Secretaty of State, whom they suppose to be on
the point of ping out. Intercourse will be less
confidential—business that had begun under fa.
rentable auspices will experience delays—negocia-
tions entered into will not proceed with adiviry ;
and Rood understanding may be interrupted.—
Hence we are peculiarly calicos to state, that there
os not the slightest Inundation for the report of Mr.
Cial/11 I:4 o's being about to occupy another office in

the present Ministry. Such a change, indeed, woul
be the. subjea of deep and general regret; for ran_
foreigh department is that for which Mr. CANNING
is eminently qualified, nos only by the extent of his
talents, but by the conciliating nature of his man-

nets."

The Editor of The Afernimg Herald, on reading
this passage, which we have extraded from The
Couri.r, mint tremble at his danger. It appears,
that, to compass or imagine the removal of Mr.
CANNING) from office, would be little less than High
Treason. Even at the most distant prospect of
such a calamitous change, public business would be
at a stand, and all our foreign relations, which
flourish only in the sunshine of his conciliating
smiles. would cease to exist. Indeed, 71,e Courier
migit have added, almost with equal truth, that
the flumes would stop its course, and day and
night crass to succeed each other. And yet The
Courier has only in contemplation merely the re-
moval of Mr. C•NIIINO from one office to another.
—What would it have said, had he been threatened
in The Morning Herald with adtual and positive dis-
missal from place!—Chaos, then, indeed, would
have some again; then shadows, clouds, and dark-
ness. would have spread their murky and bale-
ful wings over this ill-fated isle. But a crime
still more heinous remains unnoticed by The
Carrier. It has not poured the vial of its indig-
nation upon The Morning Pail, in which the present
Ministers were indirettly chatged with imbecility,
and the Marquis WLLLLiLCY direCtly Lei:resented
as the principal *dor on the political stage, and the
irresponsilde and unconstitutional adviser behind
the curtain. Surely, this is a more heinous charge
than that of unwarrantably visiting Mr. CANNING
from one high and lucrative office to another ; and
yet the Alarming Pod has escaped censure, and The
Alarming Herald, the minor ollender, is wade to suffsr
all the punishment.

A rumour prevails in the city, that a \ego.
ciator, on the part of this country, is to pro-
ceeJ immediately to Paris, in consequence of an
overture from the French Government, broeght by
the last cartel from Morlaix. One account states,
that the Earl of M•LsassauitY is nominated for this
mission. Another assigns it to Viscount FITZI A R.•
Kis, his Lordsoip's son. This business is said to
have been the subjel matter of a conference
which took place oa Wednesday between the Earl of
MALIIIISEURY and the Duke of Post Lawn, and
of the Cabinet Council which was held in the
forenoon. It has been indeed generally supposed,
that the communication by Russia, offering to me-
diate between this country and France, since the
treaty of Mit, and alluded to towards the close
of the last Session of Parliament, had produced a•
sort of Preliminary negociation, and that such was
aClually in train, but subsequent events did not
appear, at least to an ordinary observer, very fa-
vourable to the issue. Of this description are our
attack upon Denmark, and the reported alienation
of 1111111iA, and yet they were not generally consi-
dered as sufficiently strong and decisive to break
off the business. The tumour, however, is not
new, but is an old report which has acquired ad-
ditional confidence. Wd stated several days back,
that Lord Fr is was then represented in ex-
. peaation of imam/lions so proceed to Paris.

The lairlid, of 6 t guns, the arrival of which
from the Mediterranean, we mentioned yes:erday,
has not brought any account of L,rd CjI.LINGI••
woon's proceedings subsequent to the 221 July,
on which day his Lordship left Malta for Tenedos,
with seven sail of the line. The Intrrpid sailed from
Palermo in the beginning of August, and left the
fleet off Ca4iz, on the Ist init. The Honourable
Gan. Fox, late Commander in Chief in the Medi-
terranean, and family, are come in her, Mrs. Fox
being in bad health. General MOORE, on the de-
parture of General For, succeeded to the command
of our army in the Mediterranean.
Lieutenant• Gen. VILLITLI has likewise arrived
in the Inhenid, having been succeeded in the com-
mand•ot Malta by Sir WI LLIANI GRIEN.

We have received Boston Papers to the 11th last,
but the intelligence which they bring from the seat
of Government is not of so late a date as that con-
tained in the New York l'apers to the 9th, from
which we gave SORE! extralts on Friday last.—
r principal features are extra& rom The Nestiimed

m•:nts of the PRZSIOCNT of the UNITID STATtS,

A Leeward Island Mail arrived yesterda

from that Island, to the 17th last. One of

having joined the main fleet, dispatched the

skips. I think on the 6th they arrived% al

she will take them to England."

Lord Laystaorou, Governor-General
West-India Islands, died at Antigua on the
August.
The SUMMERS, for Bristol ; and the
Parher, ----, for Loudon, were wrecked at
serrat, in a hurricane, on the 25th of July.

We this day resume our Extra& from the Paris
papers ; among them will be found a part of " The
Annual Exposition of the State of the French
Empire," lately submitted to the Legislative Body.
It comprises the heads Finances" and' Religion."
All the other parts have appeared in this paper.
We have also given a long Article from the Masi;

ill to be written by a Dane, but evidently the com-
position of one of BON AAAA Tel writers in Paris. Of

ttarrouoaaoee.
G. Ifx;_ht alias Warren, the Individual who was
formerly examined at this office on suspicion of his
having been concerned in robbing the York and Edin-
burgh Mail, from several Bills of Exchange and
Bank Notes being found in his po ion, known to
have been sent by that conveyance, was yesterday
again brought before the sitting Magistrate. There
are strong suspicions that this man is using every
artifice to alter the appearance of his person
and countenance, in order to prevent his' eing iden-
tified by the witnesses adduced against him, and
indeed these suspicions are strengthened by the testi-
mony of one of the gentlemen examined this day.
who had since the last examination visited him in
Clerkenwell Prison. The Prisoner was brought into
the office with considerable difficulty, being lame,
apparently in a dying state. and for some time seem-
ed totally incapable of attending to what was go-
ing forward, although he was perceived occasi-
onally to open his eyes.
Mr. Hardyman said he was acquainted with the
prisoner at Salisbury, in the year 1801, when he
went under the name of U. Warreu, and was a
player by profession. He did not know whether his
name was George, but he always understood that
he signed his name as above.
Mary Banks, servant to Mr. R. Chamberlain.,
inn-keeper at Uttoxeter, in Staffordshire, said, she
remembered of two Gentlemen coming to her mas.'
ter's house upon the 17th of March, in a postchaise.
nne of whom she thought was the Prisciter. (Hare r
she was desired to exemine him as he sat at the Bar.
and be then took care to shut his eyes.) She could
not say positively whether he was she person or not,
but she was rather inclined to think lie was. She
knew that the other person's name was M'Coul, and
she had seen him at a former examination upon his
vial. She waited upon them, and they were par-
ticularly anxious in inquiring about the roads ands!
the distAnces, but nothing else of particular conse-
quence occurred in their conversation. Mr. Cham-
berlain's house is Ara 15 miles from Burton-upon-
Trent. They left his house upon the 13th of that
month. and went to Stone, in one of her master's
chaises.
Mr. Chamberlain. master to the preceding Wit-
ness, also remembered two persons coming to his
house upon the day above alluded to, and that they
wanted a chaise to go to Litchfield. Witness ob-
served to the post-buy who had brought them, that
he had certainly taken them much cut of their way ;
one way being IS. rad another. 13 miles. One of
them (he believed M.Coui) inquired the way to the
Punt-Office, where he went, and returned in ten mi-•
antes, and said he would step all night. They or-
dered sapper, and one of them inquired anxiously
about the roads, and as to whether it was a grOst or
a cross-road they were to travel ? Next morning
they went to Stone—f Here the Witisess'irat sheeva a
poeiet-!vok). Ile saw, that pocketbook in the pos-
session of M'Cout, and it appeared filled with bills
and notes ; and it was Irvin seeing such # quantity
of them. that his suspicions were raised as to their
being swindlers.
Mr. Cooper, clerk to Messrs. Meek and Co.
bankers, at Burton-upon-Frent, spoke as to one of
the bills, now produced, and which was for 1501.
having been discounted by that Company, to a
person whom ha believed to be the Primmer ( Heee

.That was
the note he had given in part payment of the bill
he had before spoken of. He had since last exami-
nation seen the Prisoner when in prison. The
length of time sins*. the. above transadion took
place,, and the apparently bad state of the Pri-
soner's health.' prevented him from being able to
speak positively as to his person. Me Lad no fur-
ther observations to make in addition to his former
examination. '
Interrogated by Mr. Avionsws, the Prisoner's
Counsel—Since last examination, he had been with
the Prisoner for three quarters of an hour, and had
endeuvoured to comets., with him, but he (the Fri.
soner), was then so ill, that he could not speak.
Interrogated by the M•uisr arerlt—There were
several people about him who appeared to be his
ltiends. particularly a young woman, whom h:
aought he had seen before. He, upon entering
thee Prisoner's apat tment, noticed her to give a signal
to the Prisoner, who immediately sank down, and
lay, apparently unwell, in his chair, although the
Witness had seen him sitting up and writing. She
whispered to him, as he (Witness) conceived, that
some person was come to observe him. He threw
down his pen, feigned himself sick, and remained
in thin situation all the time the Witness was pre-
sent. He said he had a 'very violent pain in the
stomach, and that several remedies had been tired,
but nothing did him good.
The Wltness conceived that this young woman
took a great deal of pains to prevent the Prisoner
from bring known, but the Witness • now thought
the Prisoner much more Lite the man he had lust
alluded to, since he was shaved and cleaned.
(Here inquiry was made for the young woman
mentioned by this Witness, but it was found that
she had left the office immediately atter assisting
the Prisoner out of the hackney..coach to the Bar.)
Mrs. Esther Gottinby, of whom the Prisoner had
taken lodgings. No. 100, Oxford-street, and who
hat been formerly examined, was again interro-
gated, more particularly as to dates. She stated,
that in the mouth of Sep:en:llot last, a Mr. Parry,
of Portland-street. CAM! to her house. and hired a
garret at C. J. per week, saying, it was for a friend
of his, who, having tailed, was coming Irons the
country, along with his wife. l*he Prisoner was
the person alluded to, and re came, with a young
woman, upon the Itith of tb.,t month. Parry be-
came security or the rent. Site did not then know
the Prisoner's name. but having gone to Green-
wich, she, upon her return, leai tic tfem liar brrvaate
that this young woman called herself Hope. and
she (the Wanes.) ever alter wards called him by that
name, as d:d also her huserand. She observed
Lou, that Mr. fairy, wren he called, always
inquired for the Prisoner by the name of Hope.—
The PriLtaaer used to be away very mien. which
occasioned tier, the Witness. to be uneasy. thinking
that he had been arrested. Chi. was owing to
what Mr. Parry had told tier. S..e had looked at
tier memorandum book, but had found nothing that
could lead het to state tar particular times when the
Prisoner went out of to en. She was at first paid
her rent weekly, then by the fortnight, and lately by
L.„••. . ,

three weeks. Foreseeing that the yodrg siodetn
was about to lie-in, she, the Witness, desired the
Prisoner to provide some necessaries. She had no
particular conversation with him concerning this
young woman, whom she at that time discovered was
not his wife, and learned that her name was Cockel.
The Prisoner was away in the month of March, but
she did not know where he WAS. tie left her house
altogether in April, and she had kept both the
woman and the child ever sauce, without getting a
farthing of money. She understood that he had
another lodging in Par:land-street, and that he had
taken her lodgings merely for the 01, but he occa-
sionally slept with her at the Witness's house. and
frequently eat and drank with her. After having
left the Witness's house altogether, he wro'e her a
note, inclosing two Bank notes, of pound each,
for the use of the young woman, and they wet e be-
stowed accordingly. He had written to the Wit-

to by Mr. Cooper, the former Witness, aas one.

livered it to the Post-master's daughter, to be sent
by the coach to Newark, and from thonre to be
conveyed to town by the mail, called the York and

Hertthe further investigation of this curious ac I
interesting business, was stopped by the non-attend-

respectable gentlemen of that profession, had at-

however, thought that sufficient evidence was al-
ready adduced to warrant him in the

Pereele, the receiver of the pocket-handkerchias
stoien by the youthful depredators and others, at
Bartholomew Fair. was finally disposed of before
the Worshipful Aldermen (Wierea ;) but strange
as it may appear to many, owing to the reluctance
of people in general, in Incurring the loss of time,
and espenseof criminal prnseentieeeefor acts of the
above nature, as the Alderman observed to the Pri-
sriner, no charge was brought home azainsit him,
although uo doubt could be ratefta:ned of his guilty
practices.
The Mamma-re strongly urged the i'risener
to reform his life, and animadverted upon the moral
baseness and wickedness ef the cor.duCt imputed
to him.
The Prisoner raid, he should never more have
any thing to do with such prailices ; he declared
that he was very sorry for the past, and was dis-

It appeared, from the testimony of the Prose-

Prisoner, to allow him three-halfpence on every
bushel of coals which the latter should sell. The
coals were to be paid for. every day ; but the P:i-

some bettious returns of customers, on Lr.-elit to

The Recount' did not gee how the indiltment
could be supported. and the Jury defeated the

The report that all the vessels seized under the
recent Decree in Holland. have beet► condemned,

is partly incorred. None of the vessels in the port
of Rotterdam have been yet condemned. Letters
from that place of the 19th. state, that the rigour
with which the recent Dutch decree is extcuted, if
not its original issue, is ascribed to the order of
our Council some weeks since, for prohibiting any
direa commerce between neutral states and any ene-
my's port. In consequence of this order, the Agents
of the Dutch Government question the authen-
ticity, and generally rejed as forgeries any neutral
papers produced to them, alleging their opinion,
that it the vessels really ssileJ from such neutral
polls, they would hare been captured by some cr
our cruisers, which abound upon the coast; and, that
having escaped, they must bay, come from England
Tun suipicion is ,o indiscriminate as to include and
