for his brother, to whom he has made a tesent of it.
Letters from Petersburgh of the tath ultimo mention,
that Prince Gustavus of Sweden (son of King Gusta-
vus IV.) hat obtained permission of the Emperor, his
uncle, to proceed to England, for the purpose of coin-
pleting his I:tulies at Oxford. It is said that a great Po.
testate has settled upon Prince Gustavus all allowance
of two thousand pounds sterling per annum during the
residence of the latter in England, and that on the re-
turn of his Royal Highness to the Continent lie is to
espouse his cousin, a Prnieebs of Hesse Cassel, who,
if rumour be correct, has lamely rejected a matrimonial
alliance with the new Sw. dish l)vnamty.
After narrating the military parades, &e., at
Richmond, in America, in honour of the 2nd of
February, a journal says—" A melancholy catas-
trophe closed the day. CoL W. Tatham, so well
known in England and this country for his acquaint-
ance with civil engineering, who has been residing
in this city for two or three years, but whose utility
was considerably arrested by an unfortunate habit
to which he bad become addicted, was destined on
that day to breathe his last. In a moment of intem-
perance, as he stood by the piece of artillery which
was firing the evening salute, he exclaimed that he
wished to die. As the second gun was about to
fire, and immediately after the commanding officer
had given the word, " fire !" Colonel Tatham pre-
sented himself in front of the muzzle of the piece,
and by its discharge, his abdomen was almost lite-
rally blown to pieces. His body was raised a few
feet in the air by the explosion, and he fell upon his
face without uttering one word that was heard by
the by-standers. Colonel Tatham died without any
family : circumstances had stripped life of much of
its attractions in his eyes. He was a man of great
information, of great genius, and of great resource of
mind : bet to this melancholy end he has arrived."

Accounts from Cadiz on Monday state, that the
Viceroy of Peru, in order to preserve a communica-
tion with such ports as were occupied by the Pa-
triots, had given notice of his intention to purchase
several ships, which were to be armed ; and as Lima
had been thrown open to the British trade, he had
no difficulty in procuring vessels. Several of them
were of a large tonnage.
BEVEL, Feb. 20, (March 4.)—The navigation
hitherto has not been closed—a circumstance that
has not occurred iu the recollection of the oldest
person here.
The Select Committee on the Melbourne Port
Petition, which have met every day since the ad-
journment, terminated their labours on Thursday,
and came to a re,olution, that the Sitting Members
were duly elected.
The spirit of emigration from Portsmouth con-
tinues unabated. Every packet for Havre conveys
numerous passengers destined for America ; and not
less than 500 Englishmen are supposed to be now
at Havre, waiting for a fair wind, many of whom
have been there upwards of a month. About 70
persons, chiefly artisans and mechanics, with women
and children, amounting in the whole to at least 200,
have embarked during last week, intending to pro-
ceed atom Havre in an American brig belonging to
Baltimore, which has been taken up exprissly for
the purpose. The expenses of the voyage are to be
defrayed out of a fund which has been accumulating
for some time past by a small weekly subscription,
and the total charge for each passenger is said to be
less than 41. _ _

Extract of a letter, dated Madrid, March el :
" According to the information contained in the
commercial adviees, it would appear that the Vice-
Royalty of Mexico may be considered to be in a
state of tranquillity ; the Patriot bands having
almost entirely disappeared, and those that remain
arc timid from the smallness of their numbers.--
With regard to affairs in Peru, they do not wear
that tranquil appearance. It is said to be menaced
by formidable armaments, both by land and sea;
and it is supposed that the succour expected from
the mother country will arrive too late to save
Lima. Six millions of piastres, and also consider-
able quantities of rochiueal and other valuable arti-
cles of merchandise, had arrived at the Havannah
and would be immediately shipped for Cadiz."
THE ARCHBISHOP OF JERUSALEM. Syrian
Committre.—A Meeting was held on Thursday at
the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of taking
leave of the Archbishop of Jerusalem, on his return
to his native country.—Lord Teignmouth in the
Chair Mr. Pratt stated, that the subscription
which had been raised amounted to upwards of 4301.
sterling, 1001. of which had been presented to the
Archbishop that morning. The Archbishop, in a
long speech, which was interpreted by Mr. OWen,
returned the meeeing los most since e and hear►felt
thanks and expressed his gratitude for the generous
hospitality with which he was received in Ln-
gland.—The Archbishop intends ]casing England
in a fcw days.

New CATHOLIC CHAPFL.—Thursday evening,
above 200 Gentlemen, friends of the maguificeut
Catholic Chnpel, building in Mtmrfields, dined at the
London Tavern, in iltoopsgate-strcet. The Duke
of Norfolk, who took the chair, wits ornotnpunied
by the Rev. Dr. Poynter. the Earls of Surrty and
Shrewsbury, Lord Clifford, Sir George Jerningliani,
Sir Henry Inglefield, and several- others of the
Catholic Nobility; also by the Archbishop of Jeru-
salem, and several persons of distinction not Catho-
lics. The object of the meeting was to promote sub-
scriptions for dcfrayibg the expcnces of the Chapel,
and they amounted in the course of the evening to
upwards of 12001, The Corporation of London have
l‘berally granted the freeholdof the ground in Moor-
fields, on which the Chapel is building.

Miss Kelly has been playing at the Durhim aud
Sunderland Theatres with very great success.

A considerable degree of sensation has been produced
at Sheerness, by the stoppage of the Rink at Mat-place.
It was the only establishment of that description there ;
and, as may he expected, many persons will suffer.
ROYAL norm—Monday being Easter Monday, the
Royal Slag Hounds were appointed to Hunt. Al ink field
Plain Itein4 the place appointed for the deer to he ,taill•
ed, a numerous assemblage of sportsmen were in at-
tendance at an early hour, together with several hundred
on foot, and great numbers in chaise-carts, &c. At half
past ten o'clock a remarkably fine deer wns tinned out of
a cart for the day's sport, by the Royal hontsmar.
Immediately the deer started with great speed across the
plain towards she wood, to St. Leonard's Hill, taking to
the left towards the New Lodge, where he ran with very
great speed through the enclosures to the Thames, and
crossed it near Surly Hall. The sportsman and hounds
were in consequence obliged to make for the town of
Windsor, which they passed through to the great amuses
ment of the inhabitants and passengers, atid also through
Eton. Soon after the chace was resumed across the
country, making for the bath road, to the left of Salt
Hill, leaving &intrude to the right, crossed the Ux-
bridge road, taking to the right through the fields and
enclosures in the line for IVatford, in Hertfordshire.
The deer then took his course rather to the right, and
passing on some distance, it was taken near Harrow,
after a most excellent ruts of upwards of four hours.
Most of the sportsmen were knocked op and thrown
out. There were but very few up when the deer was
taken. Diunig the chace the deer crossed seieral canals.

Cute Jin• Supenliiiors.—Miners are known to be a sit-
perstitiatis race. Their supeistition, however, is some-
times made a pretext for idleness. There is a recipe for
curing this species of the disorder. In •note extensive
mines in Wales, the men frequently saw the Devil ; and
when once he had been seen, ;he men would work no
more on that day. This evil became serious, for old
Belzehub repeated his visits so often, as if he had a de-
sign to injure the proprietor. That gentleman at last
called his men together, and told them it was very cer-
tain that the Devil never appeared to any body who had
not deserved to be so terrified, and that as he was deter •
mined to keep no ropes about him, he was resolved to
discharge the first wait that saw the Devil again. The
remedy was as effectual as if he bud turned a stream of
holy water into the mines.
Redundancy of Populalion.—A few days since a poor
woman of the naute of Wood, who resides iu Queen-
street, Russell-street, Brighton, was delivered of two
fine girls ; the same woman, two years ago, had two
boys. These children are in goad health, as well as four
others previously born, making a total of eight, which
the father and mother, whose eartiings at present are
hut eight shilling,: a-week, have to support, without any
other relief than the payment of the rent of the small
house they live in, which is allowed by the parish of
Balcombe.

Anecdote of dibas Dlirra, Crown Prince of Persia.—
Abbas Mirza, Crown Prince of Persia, is one of sins
most temark able men of our times. lie was born in the
year 1782, and every one expects great changes when
he ascends his father's throne. His intercourse with
learned Europeans; his speaking the English and
French languages very fluently ; his introduction of the
European military system and discipline, and forming
on that system a body of tut thousand infantry, and 3
considerable corps of artillery, and other measures, dis-
play a mind of no common order. Abbas Mirza isnot
a mere soldier, but his finer qualities render him still
more %sunlit; of the throne. Moritz Von Kotze.
bus relates the following honourable anecdote of hint :
‘• The Russian Ambassador," says he, " perceived in
the garden belonging to the Prince, a projecting corner
id sit old wall, which made a very ugly contrast with
the rest, and disfisured the prospect. lie asked Abbas
Ainza why lie did not have it pulled-down ? •'Unly
think," replied the Prince, I have bought this garden
Itorn several proprietors in order to make something
ma:mini-cot ; the proprietor of the place where the wall
projects is au old peanut!, the only person who positively
roused in sell me his piece of land, as he would not
part with it at any price, it being an old family posses-
sion. I must confess it is very vexatious, hut, notwith-
standny, 1 tumour him for his attachment to his fore-
fathers. and still more for his boldness in refusing it me :
bunt will wait till au heir of his shall be more reason-
able."

On Saturday last a man named Harbour was appre-
hended for stealing t►wo horses, on the previous night,
from the Earl of Albemarle, which hr offered for sale
near I tits, in Norfolk, for 7/. 105. when the value of thent
was estimated at 120 guineas.

The following are extracts from the Paris men-
et* April 10th and 13th :
PAHL°, Ar,:cll.lo.—ller Bova! Highness the Duchess
of Berry has entered the sth month of her pregnancy.
The health of her Royal Highness continues to he very
good.—(Moniteur.—Parlie nffirielle.)
It is thought that M. de C'ours•oisier will, on Saturday
steal,. make his Report on one of the three laws relating
to the Press. The Report on the estimates of Ministers,
which must precede the Report on the several parts of
the Budget, will be made in about a fortnight. Every
thing indicates that the Chamber will accelerate its la-
bours, and that the Session will not be prolonged beyond
Nay. It is rumoured, that the law on the responsibility
of Ministers will not be discussed thi► year. The Budget
and the Press will occupy the remainder of the Session.

Several Swiss families, amounting to about 60 persons,
walked yesterday in the streets of Paris. They are Ana.
baptists, who have quitted their country with the inten-
tion of embarking at Havre for America.
The aerwal of Lord Whitworth at Paris has been for
souse days the object of conversation among our politi-
Cit413,3/Iti a diplomatic mission is attributed to tins Am-
bassador that seems whoily destitute of probability. It
is certain that Lord Whitworth was honoured with the
partictolav friendship of the King of France when his
111ijesty ►esided at I forma ; that he has come to. Paris
with his family no pass the flue season; and that the at-
tachment he bears to the King determined him, soon
after Lis arrival, to repair to the Tuileries, where the
King received him in private audience. It is not cor-
rect that the Ehglish Ambassador had presented him to
his libjesty. Lord Whitworth requires no form.l is-
Induction to be received by the King of France.
