FRENCH CONSULATE, DUBLIN.
The French Consul, resident is this city, heing apprised
that some foreigners, sailors, mid other% calling themselves
Frenchmen (and it is worthy of notice must of them are not),
and pretending to bare bees shipwrecked, or telling other
falsehoods, are, from time to time, strolling tl gh the
streets, with a design to excite the feeliugs of the charitably
disposed; thinks it incumbent os hies to make knowe
that those individuals who tan prove themselves to
he French subjects, belongiug to the army or navy, either
by proper documents or in soy other 'credible manner, or
emu give testimonies of their enisfortsues, need out have re.
course to deception. The Consul, both from a sense of
duty and of inclination, has always here, and will constantly
be ready to retiree the necessities of such; and that with
the emotion mid regard due to the enfortueate. He ge-
nerally discharges the expellees of their board nail lodging
during their stay in this city, provides them with wearing
apparel when it is absolutely necessary, and defrays the
charges of their passage to the residence of the summit French
agent on their way to their native country.
The French Consul desiring, as far se in him lies, to pre.
vent au abuse injurious to the Fresech character, and really
pr. judicial to the poor of this country, declares hr is folly
determined on pointing out to the notice of his Government
sod the Magistrates of Dublin, in order that they may pu-
nish, securdiug to law, ally French subjects who, after hair.
lug received from hint assistance, and the amount of their
expenses, to enable them to returu to France, should, in-
. stead of so doing, persist in their imposture within the

mils of his district.
Moreover the Consul will give orders 66 the Amite of his
Department, comprehending the provinces of Leisiat.r, Ul-
ster, and Connaught, that similar measures may be adopted
with regard to those individuals who, at the saute lime that
they cast a repwach upon the French natima, impose spun
the natural hospitality of the inhabitants of this country.

DIWADkUL ACCIDENT.

On Thursday evening last, one of those accidents which
too frequently occur thru•igh the furious (hiving and mis-
conduct of stage-coachmen, took place in the Neer-road,
under the following circumstances:—
Two stage coaches, the one belonging to Messrs. Mor-
rison, and the other to Salmon and Bull, of the New Road,
were observed running along at a must furious rate, racing
against each other on their return home to London ; on their
arrival near a turning, the ejects belonging to Salmon and
Bull gut rather a head of the other, and the coachman in an
attempt to prevent him turning round first, drove his horse
against the others. A brewer's dray was passing by at the
time, and the wheels of the stage coach came in contact
with the wheels of the dray with snch violence, that the
dray was completely orertmeied, so that the shaft-horse lay
some time 00 his back ; the stage coach was overturned with
great violence, and the whole of the passengers were precipi-
tated
from the top of the coach, who with those inside,
were dangerously injured, and were taken home in a shuck-
ing condition. The coachman, and a lad who was sitting on
the box, were thrown off, the latter was thrown 1 yards
with much violence, and injured also. One of the horses be.
lunging to Mr. James Morrison, which was attached to the
coach with others, in the turning over of the coach, came
against the dray, and was thrown on the ground with the
most tremendous violence and killed upon the spot, and the
roach was much datnaged. Several persona narrowly escaped
with their lives. I
Yesterday morning Mr. Martin, Member of Parliament
for the county of Galway, in Ireland, who, together with
his groom, narrowly escaped with their lives through a si-
milar occurrence, attended both at Halloo Garden Police-
office and Marlborough•street, to know what mode he could
pursue in punishing the partiss who drove in the above MM.
nrr, as he was determined, if possible, to make public ex-
amples of them. He stated, that he was riding along the
New Road, uu a very spirited Persian pony, which the Prince
Regent had made a present to him, and be was followed
by his groom. Two stage coaches drove along at a must fa-
nous rate against each other, which startled his pony, amid
they still kept on their pace. On their arrival near him he
was caught between both coaches, and iu fact be and his
groom were nearly killed. He wished to home bow they
might be brought to justice, for the public safety.
Mr. Dyer, the Magistrate, told bin, that the Act of Par-
liament was inefficient to punish the coachmen who drove
the roaches. and the parties connected with them generally
acted with such conning as to evade the rude of justice, un-
less the coach and coaehinaa were well known.
Mr. Martin saul, it MSS a shameful thing that such nui-
sances should be suff.red. He thought there should he a
Solicitor to each office to keep them in order, and he would
certainly make it his business to speak to Lord &Juana's on
the subject.
Mr. Dyer said, that it certainly was a subject worthy of
attention, and he was happy to understand that the parish
of Mary.le-bone were lasing every exertion, and had employ-
ell certain officers to repress such dangerous circumstances,
which lie himself had the pain 44 witnessing every day, to
the oiniiiiiimit 'lmager of the public.
Mr. Mai tin quitted the Lava with the same determium
Lion as he cisme.' it.
