IltE NATIONAL RECISTEIt.

ATTACi UPON Lon CASTIAREAGIISaturday,
about one o'clock, iiiihrmation was recei% eel at Bow-
Area Office, that after Lord Castlereagh had -milled for
Sir Murray Maxwell, be had been attacked and fol-
lowed by a :nub, with great violence. Vickery
and Mullen, the oiliccrs, and a number of constables,
ran (ft with ail po::sible speed to the assistance of the
NoMe Lord. On their arrival in* St. Martin's-lane,
they found a mob to the number ()linnet five hundred
assembled round a dcaper's :lop, in which his. Lordship
had taken refe7e. ud and various things had been
thrown at hint, bat his Lordship received no material
• hijuiy. Under their protection his Lordship went on,
and tad:: refuge in the Admiralty, the mob following
ai-.1 using- the foulest language and threats. The
alarm having reached the I lorse Guards, the officer on
duty• turned out his guard, the horses being in readiness
for ma...tilting, but they proceeded no further than their
:ntrade between the gates. Lord Castlereagh went from
the Admiralty through St. James's Park, to his house
in St. :limes's-square, and left there about three
o'clock for Ireland.

In consequence of the attack on Sir ',fumy Maxwell,
the dilferer.t men of the Westminster and Sun fire-
of ces were collected at Dow-street, the stone having
been suspected to have been thrown by a fireman :- the
men, however, were discharged for want of evidence.
Six more I'!ckpoekets were conauitted on. Saturday,
making '23 in two days.
It is stated, by letters of 'high authori.trfreni
that military ptkicosion will be taken by Great Britain
of the dmnitions of the Rajah ef the Berar; and that
the government of that extensive country will be ad-
mioistered pretty touch te; the affairs of Mysore have
been conducted since the death of Tippoo—ntunely, by
investing a British residcnt with all the real au-
thority ; and leaving or placing, a nominal sovereign
oh the throne. 'it is also said, that the Peishwa will
eertai!,'.7 be dez:,s4.ll, and the offce abolished: that
there is to be lienee:brtit no ostensible head of .the
Mahratta empire ; bat that a relative to the pre-
sent Chieftain will be entitled Rajah of Paanah.—
, The reishwa, ii•irtit be remembered, owed his rank
aml•pomer exezisively to the British Government.
has justly forfeited them both by his treachery and in-
gratitude ; and this exemplary chastisement may operate
at least us a usethl qesson to others cf .the Mahratta
nice.

There are various circumstances which tend to corm-
!mute the armunts lately given, of a visit being paid to
Buonapartes servants by one of our sailors. The fol-
lowing is an extract of a letter received on Mond4
from 'Brighton, and it is evident something important
has eccurredin that Island, to ounsion the interdiction
of all intercourse with it:—" This morning the Surrey
East7lndiaman, Captain Oldham, passed by our Roads.
The Purser landed and delivered the maile from
Calcutta, of the 7th of: anuary, and from the Cape of
Good Hope, of the 13th of March, into our I'ost Office.
The ship, .on arriving off St. Helena, was hailed IT
the Conqueror, of 74. guns, cruixing off the island,
with which all communication was forbidden.''

Lord Yarmouth has declined sewing into Xarliament
again for the county of Antrim. His. Lordship in a
letter addressed to the Elceters, assigns as the cause of
this resolution' the precarious state of his health, which
-prevents him from adequately tlisdaarging the arduous
duties of a Memttr of .1' arliunent.
