Fraud.—Friday afternoon a man, having the
appearance of a gentleman, went into the shop of
Mr. Grant, a watchmaker, in High-street, Ali!gate,
and agreed for the purchase of a double • bottomed
gold watch, N 0.254, upon a diamond, for 251., for
which he tendered in payment a bill of exchange fur
.501. purporting to be drawn by a person of the name
of Maund, and payable at Messrs. SMith, Payne,
and Smith's, dated the lst of May_last. The man
called himself Dr. 141 Mame,: raying be was from
the country, and was at the Swan with Two Necks,
where he invited Mr. Grant to call on him at ten
o'clock. All this Mr.. Grant incautiously believed,
parted with his tvaLeli and 251. in change, and on
inquiry at the bankers nothing is known of the par.
ties, nor was he known at the inn. Mr. Grant ap-
plied at Bow-street Office, but nu assistance could
ha raidered him.

- Transaction in the Borough—Mrs. Kirby and her
children on Wednesday arrived at home, to the great
satisfaction of the neighbourhood. It appears, that
she and her husband quarrelled on the road, in can
sequence of which Kirby returned home,. and .she
and the children pursued their way down the noun
try to beg, but did not go to Woolwich as was ex-
pected. The man is now nearly well.

DREADFUL Soli:mg.—On Monday afternoon, about
four o'clock a well-dressed gentleman was observed
walking along Chan,los-street, in a very agitated Wan-
ner ; at length he tinned round the corner of Castle
court, Strand: he advanced towards the door of Mr.
Donaldson,. broker, seemingly with an intention of enter-
but finding it shut, went to the opposite door; that
being also shut, 1w stood a Few minutes on the spot,
feeling in his pocket*, and taking a lancet from a box,
he put it to his throat, and cut it in a dreadful mossier
from war to ear, and in a moment. the pavement was
covered with blood. Hefei! hack .ual was tillpported by
-Robinson the beadle, who was passing by. Ms. Morris,
a surgeon, attended, but the maintain ate gentleman had
injined himself so (dreadfully that lie was qu;te dead.—
Some papers, a set of surgeon's insi tttttt cuts. with three
half-pence,- were found in Iris pockets. His body was
taken in a shell to Mr. Bartlett's, undertaker, where he
was shortly after owned lay his friends, firms whom it

A long letter from I.etl Cochrane, (lutes! in Fe-
bruary, from on beard the squadron off Valparaiso,
was an Friday received in the city : a great portion
of it refers to the •Andemenche British frigate. It
will be remembered, •that .his. Lordship made severel
inquiries of the Commander of the United States
sloop of war Ontario, regarding the thriller vessel,
as to the quantity of specie onboard, and to whom
it belonged. In. the communication to which we
allude, his Lords:lip rates, we understand, univii.
vocally, that he eerteinly would have captured the
British tligate, had he not been constrained by the
Government of Chili, as he firmly believed that
the specie on board of her was actually Spanish
properly ; but the Chilian authorities were too well
disposed towards the English to risk Oleic dislike.

though they might have considered themselves justi-
tied in so doing.
I‘l PoRTA NT IN Faint ITroN.—On Friday morning
a gentleman. named Edmonds, waited on Mr.
Rirnie, the sitting Magistrate, at the Police Office,
Bow-street, and informed him that,he ilea 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 had as-
sembled together. many of them lamed, and ap-
parently with every disposition to commit violence,
but every necessary ..preparation had been inude to
preserve public peace. Mr. Birnie tlewked dee
gentlemen for, the iaforraation, and immediately
conveyed, the .intelligence by letter to the Under
Secretary of,State fur the Heine Department. We
ore happy to hear that the number of persons above
alluded to is exaggerated, and that their otjcct is not
connected with politics. We understand that they
had in view to attempt rescuing some persons in.
custudy form violation of the law, but no doubt. .
their attempt has been frustrated.
A letter from Beauvais, of the IGth inst. transmits • -
the following facts, which may furnish M. de La-
fayette with the .means of supporting the opining)
expressed by him, us to the favourable state of,public
morals :—A young woman threw herself, .with her.
infant from a window. 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 symn-.
toms of improper conduct. A love-sick youth.
whose marriage. was opposed by his mother, came to
Beauvais on the Nth instant, sold his watch, bought
a pistol with the money, and blew his brains out
An Ancient President of popular Societies, the Sitter
Legras, a .most assiduous rraderof the worst boas,

Court of Assize is employed en the trial of a pare.

fire to the house..
important atEtirs appear at this time to engage'
the Cabinets elthe great Powers. Their solicituile.
is particularly. exercised regarding the thiferences•
between Spain and Portugal. Persons well informed
pretend that the following project of cession and
division is at present under discussion:—Portugal is
to be united to Spain, which will cede to England
the island of Cuba ant two ports on the. coast of
Portugal and Spain. Tide project appears extraur-:
dinary, but it may have some foundation. At any •
rate. there is a rumour on the stbject among diplo-
matic people. In order ti indemnify Portugal, .
Spain is tei cede Monte Video. Russia has made
new applications to Spain to obtain the islands of
Majorca and. Minorca; and it is expected that, in
tho present situatioa.of affairs.. elle .will succeed in
her object.
There are in foreign papers.somenther intimations-
of intended Royal maciieges, but there is something,
mysterious in the following parageaph, which we
lied in a Manheinppaper:—" The Princess Leiden,
second daughter of Prince Louis of Wirtemberg,
will, it is said, be married to a Monarch, who, how-
