The Bill for a revision of the it is apprehended be its
friends, has already received its death-bloc in the Senate. 'Th.!
vote for striking out the proposed increase of duty on iron sr-richly
menaced it, but the vote of yestentay, strik.ng at the duty on hemp,
is considered fatal to it; every Sc: ,itor is is his seat (.here is ore
vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Mr. Edwards, of 113.
nobs, to Mexico;, and both the abure votes have been determined
by one vote only.

Nothing of importance has taken place in the House of Rcpre-
sentativcs y.
The Senate has been engaged again on the Tariff'. Mr. Barbour
moved to except minaburgs, tieklenburgs, ard hurlars„ from the
proposed duty of 23 per cent. The friemts of the Bill once more
rallied, and this time succeislid by a vote, 24 to 21, in sustaining
the duty. The vote is so close as to render it intpossib!e to predict
its fate.

A person who calls! himself Louis XVII. of France, has made
his:immanence in IVashingum. The time ef his birth corresponds
with that of the Dauphin's, and his features arc said dimly to re-
semble those of the Bourbon fanaly. De tells a plausible tale,
and shews certain marks on his head, which he says his sister the
Duchess of Angouleme will a: once recogriae. Ile mates he was
carried ofr from the Temple is greet RCC•7MV, bmught up amorg
the Alps, and afterwards sent to the island of Cuba, where he
learned the trade of a carpenter. aril where he resided till he came
to this country. Ile has prevailed on a ritiernan at Washington
to have the events of his life comn.unicaual to the Duchess of Aa-

'rite Roston Coitrier of the 10th Mu contains the
correspondence which took place last year between our
Minister to the United States, Mr. Sitatford Canning, and
Mr. quince Mama, American S.vretary of State, on the
subject of the concession of a mutual search of suspre.:ol
slave vessels. Our reasoning proved in this instance una-
vailing ; but the United Siatzs, as well as ourselves, will
declare the slave trade piratical. The following passages
from the letter of Mr. Adams, conveys the general objec-
tion of America to all concession of the nature demanded,
and also indicates her ansiely to establish the broad prin-
ciple so favourable to ntu;rals, " that free bottoms should
make free goods:''—

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PROS.
SlR—Your Paper of io steeds y mentions that I have mad: an
appeal to the M'inter 'FM:Ayes far permission to play three or fain
tot hts in vindication of my professional fame, which appeal, at
both houses, has been refused. This assertion, Sir, is true; and
I shill consider myself utiliged, if, through the medium of your
columns, the reasons of that appeal may he made known. My
situation with the public and with the Theatres is very peculiar;
and while I feel the ahsolitte neetusity of my present exertions, as
the °lily means of r.ite lido( my name front implied dispute, I feel,
at the saute time, all the reluctance which a female may be supposed
to endure under CirCUlllstUlll'o4 w. painfuL
Wtthout any ac: of hostility, without any breach of engagemenmt
on my part, with very tetitintony of p üblic approbation in y
favour. I have been bolded from toy prolusion, and robbed of the
fi:ir harvest of no. eious tells, and all to gratify the insatiable,
thitst of icalividu:.l ambition. I have borne these oppressions long,
and perhaps i may say patiently, fur while I considered my mu.
fessionnl fame secure, I sought nothing beyond the IlUti:C111 of my
individual exertions, t..-en though those exertions were frequently
made at the expebse of health and strength ; but some degrading
communications have lately been made, which convinte me of a

spice to an individucl c inset, ev.:n though justice may demand it, or
I ...mild "a round tmvarnitsheil tale relate," of itijuries unprovoked—'
of oppressions undeserved, which would excite both sympathy and
indignation. I submit to your perusal my letters to Mr. Elliston
aid Mr. Kimble, by xhieh you will perceive I have no intentions
taaares 'hem but of the most amicable nature. From these gentle-
in:n I have not exp. ricuced any injury or offence; hut as they

bone else can I appeal for retires+. I hare appealed, and my ap-
peal has been denied : I have simply asked that they will allow
me to appear two or three nights before the public in my legitimate
c.pacity, for the purpose either of redeeming my fame. or of being'
condemned by the public voice. If I ant unworthy of public
favour and public support, I will submit at once, not without sno-

FIRE AT CARLTON PALACE.

The greatest fears prevailed on Tuesday night for the
safety of this splendid Palace, in consequence of a fire
breaking out in the sitting room, adjoining the great hall,
and next the crimson chamber.
His Majesty, Sir Wm. Knighton, and suite, arrived
from Windsor about half-past ten o'clock, anti in about
twenty minute; after the servants in the ball were sur-
prised at a pereliar noise, that proceeded from the sitting
room. However, they took no particular notice till they
heard it again, and then one or two of them opened the
door, and a volume of smoke and dame bunt forth with
alarming rapidity. The whole establishment were imme-
diately alt-coed ; and his Majesty, on hearing the cause,
went for personal safety to a remote part of the building.
Sir Win. Knighton was one of the first on the spot, and
took an active part in endeavouring, with the servants, to
exCn;uish the tire whilst in its infancy. Messengers were
instantly despatched for the engines, and shortly those of
St. James's parish arrived at the Palace, and the pipes
were conveyed into the interior of the edifice; a plentiful
suptlf of water being obtained, they ware speedily put in
motion, and after considerable exertions the fire was
bawdy confin' dto tln, sitting-room, in which the damage
sustained is most extensive and irreparable. The ceiling
is entirely consumed, and nothing but the girders are to be
seen.
It it with deep reget we have to state that four inesti-
mable portraits have been completely spoiled by the heat ;
the canvas is so blistensi that scarcely any trace of the por-
traits are visible. 'flew consist of a beautiful full-length
portrait of the late Duke of Cumberland, painted by Sir
Joshua Reynolds; another of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Clarence, by the celebrates'. Hoppner; another
fire: portrait of Louis XV.; and another of the Doke of
Orleans. This was supposed to be one of the finest pic-
tures ever executed by Sir Joshua. A half-length portrait
of George 11., and a full-length portrait of her late Ma-
jesty Queen Caroline, were the only two saved from the
devastation. When the loss of the above valuable paintings
was made known to his Majesty he appeared evidently much
concerned, as they were highly esteemed by his late revered
father. The disaster is supposed to have originated in the
following manner :—From the ceiling of the sitting-room,
which has of late years been used as a waiting-room,
was sesp aided a superb lustre, and to keep the dust from
appreaelf.ng it, it was enclosed in a large holland bag,
which hung below the bottom of the chandelier. Imme-
diately under this bag stood a small table, upon which were
placed some li?„hteel candles, and it is therefore beyond a
doubt, the flame issuing from them caught the bag, and
caused the sad calamity. There is no blame, we under-
et nt, to he attached to any iodivielual connected with the
royal estaLlidmient. The fire was purely accidental.

DEATH OF MR. OXBERRY, THE COMEDIAN.

It is with much regret we have to announce the sudden
death of that excellent Comedian, Oxberry. He had been
unwell for seme weeks past, but was recovering, and even
performed a few evenings ago at one of the Theatres.
On Tuesday be was rather better than usual, but, about one
o'clock yesterday mornin; he was attacked with apoplexy,
and died within half an hour afte7. His wife was out of
town, and, although immediately sent for, did not arrive
until the icy hand of death had rendered her a widow, and
her children fatherless.
Mr. Oxberry was horn in London, in the year 1784, and
was intended by his father, a rt apectable tradesman in the
parish of Luke's, to be tin artist ; but after being some time
with Mr. Stubbs, and afterwards two year's awl a half in a
bookseller's shop, he became acquainted with a company
who played at a private theatre, whom he joined. Ilia first
appearance on the London boards was at Covent-garden
Theatre, Noveniber 7, Iran, and from that time he became
a favourite in the metropolis.

MTH ATRICALS.—(FIIO)I A CORRFSPOWDYNT.)—
This theatre closed on Monday last, with the popular no-
velty of A"atire 1.054, and The Broken Sword. Sinclair,
Fawcett, and Miss Tree, came down expressly from town
to sustain their original characters in the opera, returning
the same night. The performances went off with great
eclat, and upon this occasion the house boasted not only of
a crowded, but a brilliant audience. Ilowever, our theatri-
cal season upon the whole has been remarkably disastrous
and unprofitable, which circumstance is the more to be la-
mented, since the proprietor (Colonel Palmer, M.P.)
makes all his engagements upon the most liberal
scale. Among other attempts to amuse us, a new
tragedy was recently produced, under the title of the
" Parricide, " written by two much-respected ladies,
who Are natives of this city—Miss Allen, mistress of a
boarding- ehool, and Miss Field, instructress of the piano-
forte. Out female Iteaumont and Fetcher were not quite so
successful, as, on account of their private virtues, we could
have wished. The audience, indeed, were too polite to
hiss, but they laughed outrageously, which was almost as
bad. The denouement, it must be owned, was somewhat
in the style of " Tons Thsarh." Out of fourteen charac-
ters, five only were permitted to survive the fall of the
curtain. Another tragedy was also announced, written by
a Mr. Pennie ; but the author is said to have been so alarm-
ed at the comical reception of the i'arricide, that he has
withdrawn it until next season.

MR. HAMILTO.N"S APPEAL.

The Hamiltonian system has now been before the public above 1
nine months. The number of pupils formed by Mr. Hamilton and
his partners, or others who have taught on the system, exceeds _
LOPM. Its principles have been developed, and its efficacy exempli-
fied, in thirty public lectures. A specified and positive degree of T !IST Der.
