The day before yesterday 2 men in blue great coats
stopped, et fine o'clock in the full d iv, two 0 English
ladies obis were walking at Veisuilles, in the Boisdr Salory,

The debates on the budget still continue in the Chamber
of Deputies. Those of the 21st relate to a ',rusk' for the

Lord Le Despeneer has divided his Estates in
Kent into small farms, which his Lordship is letting
to industrious tenants, upon long leases.
We learn that Rear-Admiral Plampin has been
removed from the command of the squadron at St.
Helena, and that Rear Admiral Edward Leveson
Gower has been appointed to succeed him.
On Monday forenoon Kati Fitzwiilium received
an express from Yorkshire, requesting his immediate
presence there ; it is supposed respecting the dis-
turbed state of the weavers and other manufactu-
rers in that part of the country. His Lordship paid
every attention to the request of the express
received, and left town immediately for his seat in
Yorkshire.

Accounts fr w Rome state, that a violent shoe!
of an earthquake was felt at Cornet() on the 26th
ult. which considerably damaged several edifices,
but happily no lives we re lost. The celebrated Cu-
polasil Castello, remarkable for its antiquity and its
gothic architecture, was thrown down and the
church of the Minor Friars, of which it formed part,
was so much damaged that Divine Service cannot be
performed in it. The shock is stated to have been
felt along the whole coast of the Mediterra:xan.
On the 14th of May, a fire broke out in the town
of Bath, in Hungary, the property of Prince Ester-
hazy, which consumed 107 houses, 20 barns, 14
grape cellars ; and the next day the fire burst forth
again, and consumed 55 houses more, and a Catho-
lic church. A similar misfortune befel the village
of Kuchel, also in Hungary, which destroyed on the
22nd ult. 116 houses, 52 barns, a number of cattle,
and several human beings. On the 27th ult. the
tow% of Gnesen, in Poland, was visited ,by a like
calamity, which destroyed, in all, 235 houses, prin-
cipally in the qmater occupied by the Jews.
A singular instance of the diversities that occur
in the history of the same family in revolotionary
times, vil he ;Maid in that of M. de Serre, the
French Minister of Justice. We understand that a
brother of this gentleman (who himself bore arms
in the service of Louts XVI.) was brought as a pri-
soner of war to this country, holding a commission
in the army of Le Clerc, in St. Domingo ; that he
has since married and settled in Leicestershire, and

On Friday the Officers of the Rifle ilrig:ttle, at
(losi.wrt, gave a grand dinner, in commemoration of
the distingui3ht-al part borne by that corps in the
ever-memorable battle of IVaterloo, to which a great
number of the ether officers in the garrison, wits
several gentlemen of the town and neighbourliw.l
were invited. The whole brigade were decorated
with laurel, ant those soldieri who were present
the gluriot.s occasion were excused from guards and
other duty during the day.---:n commemoration of
the day a number of prizes were given for wrestling
and single-stick playing, at IVinterslow hut: the
first, for wrestling, to the men of Lavington ; and
fur aingle.stick, after much moldy play, to Dowse,
of Lavington, and Smith of Ashley.—At Edin-
burgh. the Union flag was hoisted on the Clstle,
and St. George's standard upon Lord Nelson's Mo-
nument...

Byron A. de Rothschild, of Frankfort, and Baron
S. de Rothschild, of Paris, arrived yesterday in
London.

It is reported, that the British North American
colonists in the provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia,
and New Brunswick, have determined to petition
his Majesty's Government un the injurious effect of
the late treaty with the United States on their trade
and fis;Aeries ; and to state, that unless adequate
protection and encouragement be given to them by
the mother country•, they must abandon the lisheric.;
altogether• The representation from Nova Scotia
was, it is said, received by the last packet.
The Roxburgh Club, at their last anniversary
meeting, resolved to erect a monument, with a
black letter inscription, to their favourite Caxton.
There is a report that the celebrated Buccacio is
destined for the library of the King of Bavaria.
It is now sated, that the recnibsion of the ton-
nage duty, and the duties on exports to and im-
ports from Newthundland, and the bounties to be
given on fish brought from that settlement, are 11,,t
to he extended to the sister colonies of New Brun-
wick, Nova Scotia, and Canada.

Whilst the 7th 1 lussars lately passed by the Mar-
quis of Anglesea's seat near Litchfield. on their
route to Manchester, they were entertained by the
Marquis at his mansion with good old English
cheer. While the soldiers were parading ou the
lawn in front of the house, immediately before their
departure, a somewhat singular appearance present-
ed itself in the persons of the Marquis, his brother
(a Captain in the Navy), Lord Uxbridge (the Mar-
quis's son), and the daughter of the Marquis. The
first wanted a leg, which he lost at Waterloo : the
Captain an arm; the Noble Lord Uxbridge was
crutches, being wounded in the knee and the fair
Lady was minus her right hand, which she lost whilst
attending her husband at one of the battles in
Spain.

We are glad to see that the Earl of Lauderdale has
called the attention ache House of Lords to the im-
portant Bill for extending the power of banishment
forth of Scotland to transportation beyond seas. The
provisions of this Hill would subject persons
convicted of very trifling offences to the penalty of
transportation ; and this power is to be given to
Sher.ffs and Stewards Depute or Substitute of
Counties, who arc not to be bound as heretofore to
reduce all the evidence into writing, but their own
notes are to be held as sufficient evidence of the
full and true import of the testimony given in the
case. Surely a Bill making so essential a change in
the criminal law of Scotland against the subject,
ought not to glide through the two Houses without
examination.

FEMALE PACRInTS —ln South America it is not only
the tric..n tt ho are conspicuous for their energetic exeitions
in defence of their I.herties; the women are animated
with a republican detol6ti to the cause of indepen-
dence, toe sole guarantee of private happiness; the wife
of Gen. Padilla accompanies him to the field, and ha•
been tioniinJtttl a Lieutenant Colonel, for taking with
her own hands a Spanish colour. The women of Coha-
bambo were stationed to defend a post, out the attack on
that town, and all perished. In Upper Petit, it is now
customary to enrptire, at every roll.call, ti the women
of Cohabanthu have presented themselves ? and the
answer regularly giver., to perpetuate the exploit, is,
" No; they hate all perished in the defenge of their
co u rs(ry I" _ _ _

Wittig:urns HALL.—On NlOnclay afternoon one
of the large stones of the roof near the entrance.
basing given way, fell with a ntost tremendous crash
wt I tile interior of the hall; several persons were passing
at the time, but fortunately no note was hurt. In
censogitence of the above circumstance, the eastern
entrance is closed, and the usual passage to the Gust of
Excholutr shut.

Yesterday, about two o'clock, a ina.t alarming.
fire broke out in the printing-office of hlessra.
Benslcy and Co., 80lt-mart, Fleet-street, which
raged with excessive fary for a very considerable
tulle. It totally consumed the printing-office, and
has damaged the dwelling-house, as well rut, more
or less, all the houses between Mr. Bensley's pre.
inl,es and Gough square. It is supposed to have
originated in an explosion of the steam en.,iae em-
ployed by Messrs in their printing-WTI:v.
The French
,journals of the 17th contain an assu. '
ranee front Stockholm, that the negotiations which
lave been carrying un in London, for the adjust
meat of the long agitated differences between the
Swedish and Danish Courts, are brought to a sue.
tes.iful termination. The instrument drawn up by
several Plenipotentiaries, had been bid before the
King of Sweden, who, it was presumed, would im..
mediately ratify it. Denmark by this agreement is
to receive a smaller sum, but a snore vs id security.

We learn by accounts front Buenos Ayres of the
middle of March, that the Govcrnment, in order to
open the communication with Chili, which had been
interrupted fir some tittle by the Caciques or Indians,
had deemed it expedient to dispatch a considerable
body of men into the n. i t er.or to restore it.. It ap-
pears there are two parties of the Indians: one
attached to the cause of the Patriots, and another
opposed to it ; the first of these have evinced a great
desire to oppose the Royalists, and had scut notice
to the supreme Director that should the Spanish
armament, of which they had heard intelligence,
make a landing in the River Plate, they would send
a considerable force to repel the• invaders.
In the absence of the regular troops from Buenos
Ayres, the Blacks, who formed the militia of the
glace, had been called upon to do duty ; it had been
proposed to them that they should join the men sent
against the ;adieus ; this they strenuously opposed,
;nil hut fur the energy of the Commanding ,Oilicer,
disturbances would have been occasioned in conse-
quence.

Monday afternoon, as the North Devon stage
coach was coming to London to the Bell and Crown,
Holborn, when two miles this side of Basingstoke,
by some sudden jerk on the road, Thus. Hawkins, a
very steady man, who had been fur a great many
years driver, was precipitated from the box between
the horses, and the wheels passing over his head,
crushed it to pieces. Fortunately the horses stood
still until the guard or one of the outside passengers
took possession of the reins, before the inside pas-
sengers were acquainted with the accident.
It female Artist is painting a portrait of the inte-
resting Circassian, the companion of the Persian
Ambassador. She has a veil pleasing countenance.
tier eyes are black and brilliant : but with respect
to her beauty, that is in a great measure a question
of taste, and to some persons it consequently would
not appear as striking as to others. From what we
have heard, we do not believe, if she were suffered to
mix in company with oar fair countrywomen, that
they would find in this Lady a formidable rival.
A numerous meeting was hold on Monday at
Dewsbury, in Yorkshire ; when resolutions and de-
clarations, similar in substance to those adopted at
Leeds on the Monday previous, were agreed to. Si-
milar meetirms were also held the same day at Man-
chester and other places in Yorkshire and Lancashire.
The people composing these different assemblies
conducted themselves peaceably, and there was no
occasion for calling on either the civil or military
power.

A circular his been distributed at Siock port and its
vicinity, for the purpose of convening a meeting on
Sandy Brow on Monday next, for the purpose of taking
into consideration "what steps are necessary to beadopted
to get our petitions to the throne, and of making a
solemn appeal to the people of Great Britain, praying
them to join us in forming a National Union, also the
propriety of considering whether the people door do not
poeseas the power of destroying the Bank —, being
convinced that the main question to be decided is,
whether we shall submit to an additional bonnet) of
taxes, or Borotightnongers and Usurpers shall submit in
a Radical Re/eras." A requisition to this effect, it seems,
the misguided persons who signed it submitted to the
magistrate, who refused to call or sanction a meeting
for any such purposes. The consequence is, the
stirrers of the business have determined to take the
whole responsibility on themselses by come ll ill g the
meeting at their owit

A very considerable district in the Canton of
Zurich was desolated on the Bth inst. by a dreadful.
hail-storm; the hailstones were of the size ofa nut,
and some of them as large as a small apple. In 15
minute all the prospect of a beautiful harvest was
at an end: corn, vines, pulse, every thing was de-
stroyed. The soil was entirely dentidci, and the
trees, mutilated and despoiled of their leaves, pre-
sented nothing hut the aspect of winter. A great
number of animals were kiilcd in the fields, and the
birds fell dead from the trees; several men also were
wounded, on of them mortally.

which he tendered in payment a bill of exchange for
501. purporting to Le drawn by a porton of the name
of Maund, and payaLle at Messrs. Smith, Payne,
and Smith's, dated the Ist of ;,lay last. The man
called himself Dr. Williams, saying he was from
the country, and was at the Swan with Two Necks,
where be invited Mr. Grant to call on him at ten
o'clock. Ali this Mr. Grunt incautiously believed,
parted with his watch and 251. in change, and on

plied at Bow-street Office, bat• no assistance could

DREADFUL SUICIDE.-00 Monday afternoon, about
four (Ali ck a well-dressed gentleman was observed
walking along Chandos-street, in a very agitated in
ut-
ucr; at length he turned round the corner of Code-
court, Strand : he advanced towards the door of M:.
Donaldson, broker, seemingly with an intention of ente;-
trig, but finding it shut, went to the opposite door tat
being also shut, he stood a few minutes on the spot,
feeling in his pockets, and taking a lancet front a box,
he pot it to his throat, and cut it in a dreadful manner
from ear to ear, and in a moment the pavement was
cimered with blood. He fell hack and wassupported by
Robinson the beadle, who was passing by. Mr. Morris,
a surgeon, attended, but the unfortunate gentleman had
injured himself so dreadfully that he was mkt dead.—
Some papers, a set of surgeon's instr •nt., with three
half-pence, were found in his pockets His body was
taken in a shell to Mr. Bartlett's, undertaker, where he
was shortly after owned by his friends, from whom it
was understood his name was Brotherhood, son of the
Rev. Mr. Brotherhood, of Desborniegh, Northampton-
shire, a surgeon of Crown-street, Soho Tuesday
afternoon an inquest was held at the King's Atllls,

A long letter from lord Cochrane, dated in Fe-
bruary, from onboard the squadron off Va!lranian,
was yesterday received in the city : a great portion•
of it refers to the ANdstasuiche British frigate. It
will Le remembered, that his Lordship made several
inquiries of the Commaoder of the United States
sloop of war Ontario, regarding the former vessel,
as to the quantity of specie on board, and to whom •
it blonged. Iu the communication to which we
allude, his Lordship states, we understand, unequi-
vocally, that be certainly would have captured the,
British frigate, had he not been constrained by the
Government of Chili, as he firmly believed that
the specie on board of her was actually Spanish
pro; erry ; but the Chili= authorities were too well
disposed towards the English to risk their displea-
sure, by making un attack on the Aad,tmusche, al-
though they might have considered themselves, justi- -
tied in so doing.
I a PONTANT INFfIIt TION.--Od Friday morning.
gentleman, named Edmunds, waited on Mr.
Birnie, the sitting Magistrate, at the Police Office,
Bow street, and informed him that he had just re-
ceived a letter •from Colonel Flint, at Liverpool,
stating that the country in that vicinity was in a.
very alarming state. Upwards of 800 men bad as-
, ambled together, many of them armed, and ap-
parently with every disposition.to commit violence,
but every necessary preparation had been made to
preserve public peace. Mr. Birnie thanked the
gentleman fur the information, atop immediately
conveyed the iutelligence by letter to the Under
Secretary of State ter the nne Department. We
are happy to hear that the number of persons above
alluded to is exaggerated, and that their object is Rot
connected with politics. We understand that they
had in view to attempt rescuing some persons in
ciistcxly for a violation of the law,. but no douLe
their attempt has been frustrated..
A letter from Beauvaivof the ltlth inst. transmits,
the following facts, which may furnish M. de Lam
fayette with the nteaas of supporting the opinion
expressed by him, as to the favourable state of public
morals :—A young v.-oinan threw herself, with her
infant from a wiedow. A sick man, weary of lite,
did the same.. A woman was shot dead as she was
passing through her garden, to warn her daughter
not to appear before her father, under evident symp
toms, of improper conduct. A love-sick youth-
whose marriage was opposed by his mother, came to
Beauvais on the 12th instant, sold his watch, bought
a pistol with the money, and blew his brains Gut .
An ancient President of popular Societies, the Sieur

Important affairs appear at this time to engage
the Cebinets of the great Powers. Their .rvlicitude
is particularly exercised regarding the dittiTences
between Spain and Portugal. Persons well informed
pretend that the following project of cession and
division is at present under dis,:ussion:—Portugal is
to be united to Spain,. which-will cede to linglaud
the island of Cuba and two ports on the coast of
Portugal and Spain. This project appears extraor-
din:my, but it may have some tlmulation. At any
rate, there is a rumour on the subject among diple—
matie people. In order to indemnify Portugal,
Spain is to cede Monte Video. Russia has made
new applications to Spain to obtain the islands of
Majorca and Minorca; and it is expected that, in
the present situation of alEtirs, she will succeed in •
her object.
