A Foreign Publication, in its account of the Bat-
tle of Jena. contains the following passage:
" The viftorioos Emperor N • rossom condo:lei
the events of the 14th of Oetober with steadiness and
the keenest prudence. He lodged the night before
this eventful day in the Castle of Jena, and, on the
following morning, as is asserted at Jena, he recon-
noitred, from the top of the old observatory (com-
monly called the Fnz Tower), the opposite heights
on the road to Weimar, and witnessed the bloody
battle that took place between the French that were
marching through the Muhlenthal, and the Saxons
and Prussians, posted on the ineckenberg. Not
tar from this spot is the chain of sandy hillocks. which
present, as it were, a steep wall on the heights of
the Seal. There is here a coppice, knnnn through
the whole neighbourhood by the name of the
Raunthales, a place celebrated in the annals of the
Jena Muses, on account of the combats that used
formerly to take place betwien the Students at that
spot. Tins is the pass which the Emperor NA ro-
LLon fortified so strongly, and in such a masterly
manner, with heavy cannon, and which is spoken so
highly of in all the official accounts of the battle. It
is incomprehensible to the slightest observer how this
place was not occupied by the Prussians ; and yet it
was strongly recommended to them by the Saxon
Officer of Engineers. Unseats, who knew the

. NR. LUDLAM.
A Petition on the behalf of Mr. James Ludlam.
the Committee of this unhappy gentleman, was
this day heard before the Lotto CH A • ceosoa, prey-
ing that his Lordship would order Mr. Vander-
combe, the Agent of Mr. Ludlam, to deliver him
ever to the legal custody of his said Committee.
Mr. Peacov Ai., in support of the Petition, stated
the several ads of insanity committed by this Gen-
tlemen, in consequence of which, and the certificate
of Dr. Vs arburtan, his Lordship, some time since,
was pleased to order, that he should be delivered
over to the custody of his Committee. WO, instead
of obeying his lordship's hrder, Mr. Van ler-
combe and the other persons who were about
his person, had secreted him, and prevented that
order from being enforced. He adverted to the
circumstances which took place at Mr. Lndlem's
hnese, in Tenterden.street, on Friday nigh., and
Oat:II-deo morning last; the particulars of which we
gave in nor Parer of Monday; and represented to
his Lordship row very dangerous h was to the
public, that a remit, labouring under so violent a
divemper, shoilid be at large ; and upon those
grotonis he t•n.red Lis Lordship would make the
Order now soaght
Mr. Cou Ky., on the same side, animadverted with
much severity upon tie conduit of Mr. Vander-
crimbe, whom he cnisidered as donbly culpable,
not only in disobeying his Lcrdship's melee, but in
acting as the agent and friend of Mr. Lenart, and
en feasinuring to screen him from public justice.
when it was his duty, as one of the Under-Sheriffs of
the City of London, threugh whose hands the
Warrant of the Lord Mayor, for the apprehension
of Mr. Ludlam, upon a charge of felony, passed ;
if Mr. Lioflam was in his senses, Mr. Vander•
shnul deliverol him over to ;reit,: jus-
tice ; but, •va• in-• state of itaanity. he should

Tile sot ; -Irma:, on behalf of '.fr. Van.
dercnmbe, aof t' e otl.e- parsons in whose pa err
Mr. Ludlam .vas •uppo„•d to have been, entered
into a full vindication et Mr Vandercombe's con-
dud. He stated, that his I.nrdship's original order
WAS issue! at a time when Mr. L had absconded,
after the transactions at the London Tavern, when
nobody belonging t • him could tell what had
become of hm. When Mt. Ludlam next ap-
pesred, he was perfectly restored to his senses,
and had ever since condoned a rational man,
eever having committed the slightest extravageoc►;
but so far Mr. Vaodercombe had complied with
his Lordship's order, that when he discovered
Mr. Ludlam, he had him removed to his own
house, and Dr. Young at first attended him, but
afterwards declined continuing to do to ; upon
which one of Mr. Willis's men was engaged to at
tend him, and afterwards two of Dr. Munro', men,
aod one of Dr. Warburton's, who were provided
with two strait waistcoats, lest he should again
relapse into a :tete of inaanitv. A consulta-
tion was also held by Drs. Willis and Warburton,
end thus Mr. Ludlam had ever since remained in
his own house, perfectly in his senses and offing
as a rational being, until Saturday last, when
the Bow.street o:licers forced their way in.—
Dreading the idea of being confined in a Mad-house,
as had happened to this •arortnnate gentleman,
about five years ago, and apprehensive that the
800 -sir, et Officers, with their warrant, was only
a pretext to rat possessi 'Ol of his person, in alder
to throw him into a rec •ptacle for lonaties, while
the Officer. were breaking in, Mr. Ludlam, attend-
ed by one of the men, in whose care he then was,
m of. h's escape throoph the roof, along the tops of
the houses, and leaped down a considerable depth,
at the hazard t f his life, and where the man
was not able to follow him, and so made his escape.
Fri m the several affidavits it appeared, that Mr
Ludlam had n, t hero heard of since, and to this
fad Mr. Valdetcombe had positively sworn. Under
all these circumstances. therefore, he trusted his
Lordship would be of opinion that Mr. Vandercombe,
at least, was not to blame in this transaction ; but
had, as far as he was concerned, aded to the best
of his judgment.
The LORD CH ANGEL LOS thought that, for
the security of this Gentleman's person and
property, and for the safety of the public, it
WAS but right that he should be taken care
of. Had hit Lordship's original order been ob-
served, he would have been as safe as if he were
confined in a hostile. The object now was, that he
should be delivered over into the legal custody
of his Committee, and his Lordship recommended
that all the parties should unite and endeavour to dis.
cover him fur that purpose, at the same time he
thought the conduct of Mrs. Mendelson highly re-
prehensible, and cautioned her to take care what she
was about. At the same time that he made the order
for Mr. Ludlam to be delivered over to the legal
custody of his Committee, he desired it should be
understood, that he was to be kept in his own house,
and by nu means to be sent to a receptacle for lunatics.
