MORNING !LINCS. A Lk ROYALE.

Sampson. the a la ma/a-executioner of He.
nour, who beheaded George and the other !loya-
lists, sold their hair to some leathers in the Paleis
Royal, who made mourning tilits, containing some
of the hair of each of them mired together. These
rings soon became very fashionable. AD the caber
jewellers set about making rings in imitation of
them. The Police Pratt informed the Botperor el
this circumstance, and that thew rings were a kind
of signal to rally for tin disappointed, disaffefted,
dtscontented, not only among the RoTalsts, but
even among the Jacobins. His revolutionary Ma-
jesty ordered, therefore, his police agents to sup
every person who made an ostentatious display of
these nags, as several, both ladles and
_gentlemen,
wore these rings outside their gloves. Near ninety
pestanu were arreseed on the 6th .r Tuly, the
forenoon, as they were walking .he Tbuillery
Garden ; and what nos a tittle -vflanied the indig.
uatiou of Bonaparte, be heard war. among the,
were officers of his household, and ladies attached
to him or to his consort, the Imperial Jolepldn...
At the Opera, on the Stb, they were, notwithstane-
ing, very numerous upon the fingers of the ladies
particularly, which so enraged Bonaparte, that In
did not stay longer than five minutes This alanned
the fair speEtators, who apprehended, that die 3..
gry upstart would, as he had done before, era"
the house to be surrounded by gems yi'anters and
police spies, and that new impruonments wood be
the consequence. Before the first ad wrs over, ;al
the boxes were, therefore, left empty, sad term,
spread all over Paris. The executioner, glanlp,o,),
and his son, were sent to the Bicetre, and nine jest.
ellers to the Temple. These rings are called mourn.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE

DUBLIN, JULY 23.

The apprehensions.* insurredion, which were
so generally afloat daring the early part of the pre.
ceding week, have now nearly subsided. It now ap-
pears that the population of the Liberty has not been
:Welled by any extraordinary influx of strangers;
and the trees felled and stolen from the demesnes of
Lord Charlemout and Mr. Vernon, is the single at-
ceitit;lied circumstance of alarm. &anymore, Eus-
race, Blessington, and that narrow distria of the
county of Wicklow which lies between the moun-
tains and the county of Kildare, are now, however,
pointed out as the hides of disafFe&ion. The parish
priest of Blessiugton, on Sunday last, delivered a
olenin exhortation from the altar, inculcating on
h:, auditors a loyal attachment to their King, as a
ataty they owed both to God and man; and de-
nouncing against them the vengeance of an offended
Deity, in case of their disobedience.
The situation to which this city has been reduced
for want of water, within the last month, is truly
deplorable. By a contrast between the Grand Canal
Company, and the Corporation of the City, who
have the t!ircdion of the Pipe.water. the former en
gaged to supply the latter with water for 7001.
a-year. This contract the corporation have thought
proper to put an end to, and the consequences are
theaJfal. Half-a-guinea, or a guinea a week-, is
now paid for the carriage of as much water as a
small family may require; and one frequently
'nee; crowds of the lower class begging a pint, or
even half a pint, of water, at the doors ,f those
wh) are fortunate enough to hare a pump. Amidst
a.. 1 this misery and distress, the corporation are quite
trAnTtil; they have collated, and insend to coiled,
it • --:pe-water tax, as usual; and sullenly refuse to
er • .:tto a new contra& with the Canal Company,
r . • ire offered them an abundant supply for one
t. a--ear. By the Union, it is true, the trade
o• .lament was extinguished, but a greater evil
ha. .cc,- :ad—the jobbing of Corporations. Should
a an- a- the very idea of the consequences
is sbocl:•..g. tom ~grit of that element which is ne-
cessary to prevent it pessa.ii ; .u•sl that too in a
