SATURDAY, Arai. 3, IF1f).

A Petition was presented last evening to the
Otwee cf Lords, by Lord GRENVILLE, from tht
University of Oxford, against tl.e Claims of the
Roma', Catholics to be admitted ton pertielpation
in MI the advantages of natoral.horn subjects of
this realm. The Noble Ltoil who presented the
Petition is eminently distinguished among the en-
lightened advocates of that principle which would
remove those degrading distinctions. which, under
the pretence of seligious zeal, seeks onlylor the
continuance of un unwise political monopoly; hot
as Chancellor al the University of Oxford, he was
bound officially to present the Petition.
A Petition was presented to the Rouse of Com-
mons last night, by Mr. Lametort, from the cele-
Inated French General GOORGAUD, complaining of
the harsh measures pursued against him by the
agents of the Alien Office, on the occasion of his
bring forcibly driven from this country. The alle-
gations of the Petit' reflect with much ity on
Mr. CAPPER, lire his cluel treatment of this Officer.
The Petition was laid on the table, and ordered to
be printed.
The Report of the Committee on the Barn-
staple Election was agreed to, and the Ilimse hay-
Mg declared Sir NIANASSEII NIASSAII LOPEZ godly
of bribery such corruption, ordered him to be
prosecuted for this t (Truce by the ATTORNEY..
GENERAL. Leave unit given to Lord CLIVE to
bring in ■ Bill fur the 'nitwie of making some
alterations in the constitution of the Borough.

The account of the murder of the celebrated
Korzi:oue, which we gave yesterday, is unhappily
confirmed by the Paris Papers of the 30th leo.
The followitig narrative of that nielancholy.etrent is
copied from the Juneau' des Debuts:—

" MANHEIM, MARCH 24.

" Our city was yesterday the scene of an horrible
act of fanaticism. M. Auguste de Kotzebue.
whose literary celebrity has extended even to Japan,
has been aseassiouted in his chamber. A student,
or, at least, a person whose name was inscribed as
such iti the register of foreigners at the Wein-
berg lusts, entered the upurtineid of M. Kotsebne,
called him to account for his conduct and opinions,
sod otter • shut dispute unit a challenge to fight,
which M. Kotz• hue pviab:ably refused, gave him
four wounds with a pouiard. M. Kotzebue fell
dead in the arms of his eldest daughter, who, alarm-
ed lay his cries, ran to his assistance. The assassin
deliberately left the boner, fell upon his knees in the
street, and raising his clasped hands to Heaven, ex-
claimed " Viral Tenfold('!" Then rising front the
grouts's!, he plunged the poniard into his own body
on the spot. The care taken of him affords this day
some symptoms of life, but it is not thought he can
recover. The diploma of the University found upon
him was in the name of Sand. His shirt was marked
with the letter S, but lie was inscribed at the tavern
in the name of flenreich.
" A billet which was found upon the assassin,
with another poniard, coittui:.ed these words, • Sea.
levee of death spore Auguste de Kotzebue, executed
23d March, 1819."1.1iis young man is said* to
be a native of IV sinsirdel, in Saxony. Other ac-
counts stale his name to be Charles Sunder. a
Theological Student of the University of Worts-
bohrg, and that lie Relived post the same morning
at Maialteim. fie is described in the Paris Papers
as a political enthusiast, Metter! to this horrid crime
by the frantic declamations of those German le-
vellers. who could not pardon the talent with which
this %elites drfetttittl the social it.stitutions of the
European monaichies."
Such has barn the melancholy end of M. Kot.
zebte, one not the Most extraordinary dramatic
characters in the history of stations. These is no
instance of an author of such prolific fancy and so
rapid in execution. His wars a teeming muse. A
day has sufficed for the production of a complete
piece.

The Paris Papers contain no othe► news of ge-
neral interest. M. Benjamin Constant and M. De
Saint. Aignao are elected Members of the Menthe's.
of Deputies. . _
