FIRE IN RATCLIFFE•IIIOIIIVA r.

Monday morning, about three o'clock, a dread-
ful tire broke out in the home of Mr. BUN NOR,
tailor and salesman, in Itatchtfe-highway, which in
u very short time was totally consumed, together
with the adjoitiiiig preniises of Mr. PICRETT, a liege
tea-dealer; the next house, occupied by Dr. 110 Rs.
FORD, is touch druid:zed. By the timely arrival of
the engines and a plentiful supply of water, the lire
was got under by seven o'clock. A %maims drop-
ped a child from a window on the sreoud Boor, the
tacit was happily caught by the patrole arid saved.
The mother then leaped out oldie window, and had
her thigh broken and was otherwise severely hurt ;
she was wrapped its blankets, cud conveyed on a
shutter to the Incision Hospital in a very dangerous
state. Mr. BONNOR, and Ilia son, a tine boy, about
four years old, perished in the Hamer. Mr. Doti-
Noll was club-footed, which, it is supposed, was the
cruse of his not escaping.
Yesterday.the firemen were busily employed in digging
after the unfortunate child who perished in the conflagration.
About half-past tess in the mottling une of the firemen suc-
ceeded in discovering the child, a most frightful corpse, lii

commenced through the gas. Mr. Bonner coming home late,
forgot to turn Mr she gas after blowing it out, and leaving
a lighted candle iu the cellar caused the unfortuu.stc calamity.

POLAR EXPE.DITION.

BANFF, OGuer 9, 1818.
Captain Ridley, of the Triad whale-ship, of
this port, just returned from the Northern Ocean,
informs one, that on the 10th May he was in Ist.
80. 58. about eight miles from Spitsbergen, in 2i
fathoms water ; the sun was at a great altitude ;
there was scarcely any night ;they could follow the
glorious luminary circling again and again round
the heavens—the atmosphere at this time wile very
clear—Captain R. went to the bop-mast, and could
see with a glass to the extent of between 40 and .50
miles (as he supposes) across the great Polar
Ocean, which was much more open than when he
was in let. al. last year. There were indeed large
islands of flaw ice fluting about ; but he is sure
the sea was navigable, without great difficulty, as
far as the eye could reach. But the ice was run-
ning ashore, and accumulating in lart,,e masses on
the northern coast of iipitzbergen. Captain R.
thinks the expedition came too late, Kenneling
that the opening he foinsil would soon be closed,
and, u far as he knoWit, it was then the only one
westward of Spitsbergen. Indeed, it would un-
doubtedly appear, that the Discovery Ships have
been obliged to abandon the attempt to navigate
the sea between Greenland and Spitsbergen; Cap-
lain R. says, that when he left the sea, there was an
immense accumulation of field and flaw ice,
stretching almost f shore to shore. He quitted
the vicinity of Spitzberlen about the 15th of May,
and directed Ira course towards Greenland. Abaut
the middle of June; being in hat. 713. 110 miles
from land, as nearly as lie can judge, the weather
very rainy, with a thick fog, lie spoke an Aber-
deen whale fishing ship, the master of which hid
seen the Discovery gimps. on the 10th of June, in

who was before unseen. The villeins deManded the whole
of their property, threatening at the smite time to murder
theta both if they met with a refusal, or the slightest re-
Matinee. Two other fellow., stood at some distance from
them, as if to gii.e an alarm if necessary. Mr. Keneth, fur
the safety of himself and MS daughter, gave them all he
had shout him, and his daughter followed his esemple.
Their booty consisted of a watch, a one pound note, some
silver, and the female's scarf. They then left them, threat-
ening their lives if they gave the least alarm.

PARIS PAPERS.

tAltii, AUGUST 15.

The Ring transacted business yesterday at ten
o'clock with the Duke de Richelieu. At four
o'clock his Majesty went to St. Cloud. Monsieur
and the Duke d'Aisgouleme rode over the Champs
Elysees. The immende crowd assembled to be-
hold the removal of the Statue of Henry IV. ad-
dressed their Hoye' Highnesses with the most lively
acclamations.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans Wet
delivered on the 14(:), at forty minutes past one
o'clock, of a third son, at the Castle of Netvilly. who
will be called Francois-Ferdinand-Philippe-Louis-
Marie, Prince de Joinville, and who will have fur
sponsors their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Calabria, Hereditary Prince and Prin-
cess of the Two Sicilite, represented by her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Berri, and by his Serene
Highness the Duke de Chartres.
The departure of the stelae of Henry IV. took
place yesterday morning between ten and eleven
o'clock. The weight of the statue is :10,000 lbs. that
of the frame 20,000, in all 50,0170 Ih+. The number
of oxen employed was only thirty-six. The passage
through► a part of the Suburb du Houle, which was
first to be descended, was easily effected, and in less
than half an hour; hut at the avenue de Marigny
a difficulty occurred, which occasioned pi op. so re-
peated and long, that at six o'clock in the evening
they had not yet arrived at the end of the avenue.
It was past seven o'clock, when, with • relief of
Li horses, the monument reached the avenue of
the Champs Elysees; it appeared impossible to go
further for that slay ; but at that moment the spec-
tators, all at once, with cries of " Vice Henry IV..'
seize the traces, and in less than half asi hour the
statue, by a spontaneous movement, and us if by
enchantment, Midis itself transported before the Pa-
villa's de Elsie, amidst cries, a thousand times
repeated, of " Vire le Roi P'--" Vice la Fausilk
Royale !"

The King. Madame, and the Princes, presented
themselves at the windows, and mingled their ac-
clamations with those of the public. The statue of
Henry IV. continuing its course, arrived before the
Pont des Arts, where it was to pass the night, and
to be raised on it. pedestal the following morning.
We read in the Oracle of the lith August, " Ac-
cording to the bulletins from Suestdyck, her Royal

MN, JULY 27.

It is confidently asserted that one of our most
celebrated diplomatists, accompanied by a pretty
numerous suite, is to proceed immediately to the
Congress of Sovereigns, which is going to assemble
at Aix-la-Chapelle. The choice the King has
made to fill this important mission is not yet
publicly known, but every thing leads us to
believe that it will be confided to one of his
Majesty's Ministers. Spain has great interests to
treat of at this moment, and she is resolved to de-
mand, with energy, the mediation of some of the
great Powers. On one aide the United States of
America have taken an attitude so horrible with re-
spect to her, that one cannot yet foresee the issue
of the differences with that Power; they are such,
that we are assured our Envoy has been recalled.

the deceased insisted do seeing her home: he tot up wild

down, and instantly expired.
It was rather singular that the deceased, who has left an
only daughter and two nephews, the day before his death
repaired to his attorney for the purpose of having his will
drawn out, but refrained from having it done, in Comm-
wiener of which • considerable property falls to the above
relatives, half to the daughter and the other to his nerliesa

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, AuGuiT 19, 181$.

A Treasury Journal of last night says, " It is
now stated that a great part of the recent immense
sales were made fur the Gentlemen who are expect-
ed to take the French Loan ; some of whom, it is
reported, will be in attendance on the Congress at
Aix-la-Chapelle."—We were prepared for a great
number of Diplomatists and Jurisconsuhs on the
()Cession, but this menagerie of Bulls and Bears
from the Stock Exchange in the suite of the Sove-
reigns was totally unexpected. Of all the modes in
which it has been sought to account for the recent
depres►ion of the funds, this appears to be the silliest.
It cannot he the interest of the European Stater to
disturb the existing tranquillity. They have slot
yet recruited their strength, exhausted by a long
war; they could not now rise to battle like " giants
refreshed ;" they have scarcely had breathing time.
But though this position may be true as to Europe,
it may not be equally applicable to the United
States of America. We do not assert that America
wishes fur war, but certainly all is not clear in
that horizon. The adage says, "it is easy to find a
stick to beat a dog," and this vulgar proverb is
equally applicable to States as to individuals—

•• What dire offence from amorous canoes springs—.
What mighty contests rise from trivial things."
America has afforded that stick to Spain in her in-
vasion of the Florid's, and capture of Pensacola.
The private aid afforded by British subjects to the
Spanish Patriot. on the other side of the At-
!antic, is also calculated to excite the jealousy
of the Court of Madrid against England. But
though •• brave men find cause of quarrel in
a straw, when honour is at stake," the age of chi-
valry is past in Spain, she must pocket the affronts,
and set them down to her weakness. America has
been long in treaty for the Florida", and in the
capture of Pensacola she has spat in the dish,
that by lessening its value, she may have it
to herself on more advantageous terms. With
respect to England, and the aid thence derived
by the Sp mish Insurgents, the English Cabinet
may say it flowed from private sources ; and, in the
language of Macbeth to the ghost of Bangwo, ex-
claim—

" Shake not thy gory locks at me—,
Thou can'st not say 1 did ii."
That this has been the subject of remonstrance on
the µart of Sµ►ain, is obvious from the following

copy of a letter, addressed to the Commissioners of
Customs. doted Treasury Chambers, to warn Eng-
lish subjects against embarking in the contest be-
tween Spain and the South Americans:-
