MONDAY, JANUARY 14.

In our extracts from the French papers we

week gave a statement of an attempt on the part of
an affluent English gentleman to regain possession
of his (laughter. The particulars of this affair are
set forth in a very long petition from DOUGLAS
Lov MCI, Esq. to the French Chamber of Deputies,
from which we abstract the following sketch :—Mr.
Douglas has two daughters, to whom he is passion-

ately attached—he some time ago was induced to
place them and his niece (the daughter of Major-
General Loveday, the Governor of Benares), under
the tuition of a female fiend named Mademoiselle
Ernestine Reim], who keeps a boarding-school in
Paris, of whom he bad received high testimonials,
snd who pledged her honour that no attempt should
be made to convert them from the religion in which
they had been educated. The father wrote from
England in July last, stating that on his return to
Paris he meant to remove them from school, and
introduce them into life—he arrived, and subse-
quently found that, by the most horrid stratagems,
their young minds had been estranged at once from
their feeling of duty and respect for their father, and
their wonted reverence for their religion ; in short,
that they had been terrified, by exhibitions too fright.
ful for their youth, to such an extent as to cause them
to abjure Protestantism, and deride their parent as a
heretic for professing it—nay, the eldest a lovely,
and heretofore amiable girl, had been cajoled so fhr
us to profess herself of the sisterhood of the Convent
De la Maternit;..—W ill not this awaken English
parents generally to the very great risk they run on
the must important and heavy subject of considera-
tion, by placing their children at &Arno] in a Catholic
country? That the Catholics hold all those as
heretics who arc out of their own church is an un-
denied part of their creed, and will English parents
longer encounter a chance of being denounced, de-
rided, and lichl in worse than contempt, by their
own children, for the invaluable addition of French
frivolity to their other accomplishments?

Tuesday se'nnight a complaint was laid belt re
Dr. Corbett, one of the Newcastle magistrates, by
the Rev. T. Cutterill, against Mr. De Camp, the
manager of the theatre there, fire a breach of the
Sabbath, the latter having employed workmen in
the theatre on Sunday last, in making preparations
fin. the Coronation. .The magistrate severely ad-
monished Mr. De Camp on the impropriety of his
conduct : but the latter having alleged that this
proceeding had arose out of very particular circum-
stances, and was quite contrary to his wisher, and
having engaged that there should not be any simi-
lar complaint brought against him in future, the
charge WAR dismiSlSed, the Rev. gentleman who pre-
ferred it not appearing disposed to push mutters to
an extremity.
Extract of a letter from Trieste. dated Dcc. 25.
" A vessel arrived from Smyrna in 11 day a, reports
that every thing continued quiet, and business was
resumed: and that by the advice:. from Constanti-
nople of the 10th inst. all was tranquil there."
Great Fad Race.—On Monday east a fot-race
was rnn over Pontefract race-course, four measured
miles, fin. 100 guineas each, between Beul, the
noted York:hire runner, and Ashton, a laineaseire
man; the first two miles were run in 11 minutes;
in the third mite they alternately took the lead, till
at length Beal passed his opponent in the fiturth
mile, and won the race by 600 yards. Tile race
was run in 21 minutes and three quarters. Great
sums were betted.
