CIVIL LIST ACCOUNTS.

Mr. TIERNEY moved that the accounts relative to the Civil List
Accounts, recently Isid on the table of the House, be referred to a
Select Committee, with powers to examine witnesses, records, &c.
In submitting this motion to the House, the Right Hon. Gent. took
occasion to go largely into the Civil List Expenditure, observing
that he was anxious to arm the Committee with power to examine
per,ems and papers, because he should be thereby enabled to make
out that case tallied; he knew could be established. His object was
eart:lih»ent of the I' xpenditnre, which had increased enormously
svi:lnu the last ten years. The expellees of last summer, in conse.
(peace of the presence of certain Illustrious Visitors, were undoubt-
edly very great, and, in sonic instances, appeared extravagant ; but,
fur those expenses, many allowances were to be made. He did not
so much complain of them, as of the increased scale of the Civil
List Expenditure ; it was that invariable extent of expellee which
he wished curtail and limit
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIECVER opposed the motion, as
quite unnecessary.

aPteins OF ITALY.

Mr. PoNSoNrIT next desired to know whether the Noble Lord
would object to the production of the pipers respecting Sicily, and
the iii,tructions to Lord %V. Bentinck, respecting Italy and Sicily,
during the years faille.: and 13 ; and if lie wonld not agree to the
production of the whole. how tar the Noble Lord was disposed to
acquiesce hi a motion for such papers.

Lord CAgTLY.R,EAG H. according to what he could at present see
of the wishes of the Right Hon. Gentleman, thought he rhould not
have to object to the intended motion ; but the papers respecting a
part of the specified period could only be produced. The papers
respeetiog the most recent communications on the affairs of Sicily,
lie (eared, could not yet be produced.
Mr PoisoNn also wished the instructions to Lord t. Ben-
thick, regarding Italy in general, to be laid before the House.
Lord CASTLEREAGH expceted that he should be able to agree
substantially with the Right Hon. Gentleman's motion. The general
feature of the instnictions to Lord W. lientinek was, to take ad-
vantage of any rising that he might observe in Italy.

Mr. PONQONBY would submit the terms of his motion to the
Noble Loud, ;and if there were any occasion he should submit it to
the House on Tuesday next,

TALLEI'RAND'S LETTER ON NAPLES.

Mr. WHITBREAD desired to know whether the letter from Prince
Talleyrand to Lord Cistlereagh, respecting the Throne of Naples,
was substantially correct as it had appeared in son►c of the papers
Lord CASTLEREAC tt had already told the Hon. Member, on a
former occasion, that he (Lord C.).must abstain from saying any
thing on those matters, the papers respecting which could not yet
be fail' before Parliament. The proper titne would come for giving
information on the subject mentioned by the Hon. Member, when
the Government would not shrink from any enquiry that he could
institute —(Ilcar!)
Mr. WHITBREAD deemed the Noble Lord's answer tantamount
to an admi•*ion of tl►e letter : for he said he should be prepared to
deti•ud his conduct. If the time really would come when ti►e Noble
Lord would give the House intbrmation, he should rest satisfied ; he
should then wait patiently fir all those notable letters, in which
P►iuce Hardeoberg, Prince Talleyrand, and my Lord Castlereagh

On Tuesday, the case relative to the robbery at Grantham was finally

Askew, that the feraale prisoner, Ann Surgey. had acknowledged the
fact of her having stolen the property, viz. 000 guineas in gold. and
14001. in bank notes. She stated, however, having done so fur the
purpose of inducing fim 10 fulfil his promise of marrying her, and nut

C;UtLDHALL.

Wednesday, Mr. Richard Crowther, a young gentleman of respecta-
ble connections, was brought before Mr. Joshua Jonathan Smith, .(the
sitting Alderman) charged with a violent outraye and assault, under
the following circumstances :—lt appeared that about seven o'clock on
Tuesday evening, the prisoner had succeeded in enticing from her home
the daughter of a most respectable merchant, residing nee. Black friar's
Bridge. The elopement was discovered, and her two •istt rs sallied
forth, for the purpose of rescuing her from the consequences of her im-
prudent flight. By means of two boys, named Watts and Smith, they
traced the way they had taken, and on coming up with them claimed
the liberation of the young lady, which the prisoner resisted. A con-
siderable crowd now collected, and. unfortmottely, the young lady
seemed his willing conapnition; while he exclaimed, that none should
separate him from " his lawful wife," she as violently cluog to him.
crying aloud that lie was " her lawful husband !" The sisters, how.
ever, of the young lady. would not stop short tit her release; a genet:li
scene of confasiun ensued, the prisoner brandishing and defending him-
self with a sword-cane, while the clothes of the young ladies were tom:
from their hacks At length he was disarmed and secured, and the
young lady taken home to her friends. The prisoner, who at know.
lodged his intention of ruining the infatuated girl, was ordered to find
bail for assaulting the two boys, Watts and Smith.

N co!:, was examined on a charge of robbing the house of Colonel
N icoll, at Hendon, three d intent times after his having It ft his ser-
v.:r, of plate, wearing apparel, &c. tr. a considerable amount. The
prisoner having been taken into custody on another charge,- confessed
lriv:ng stolen the plate, he entered the house through the garden,
s-ven Wank in the evening of Sunday the frith of June, and
fluting the plate bi:ket with the plate laid on a candle-box in the
h;ntr•,• near the stairs, he carried it on, and concealed the basket in a
t::1(1 the other side the road ; he wrapped up the plate in a pa;r of
trow•sers, and carried it next day to a friend of his, who was a
watchman in Newvate, for the purpose of disposing of it for him,
a:: previously agreed upon.

The prisoner's confession was read over to him, which he acknow-
ledged w be correct, and lie signed it ; it contained several pages
closely written, wherein he acknowleded having robbed the house of
Colon-I Nicoll at three different times; first, on Wedneiday, the 6th
of June, by getting over the garden gate, entering the house, and
stealing two gr:at coats that hung on a peg in the hall, and several
other articles, which he wrapped up in an old apron ; that he slept
that night in a hat -field, and disposed of part of the things next day
in Tottenham Court-road and in Monmouth-street. The 24 time he
robbed the house was as above stated. The 53d time of his robbing
Col. Nicoll was on Monday evening the 7th of August, when he
stole several melons, nectarines, and peaches, and then entered the
harness room in the stable, whence he stole a great coat and several
other articles, the principal part of which he sold next day in Mon-
rtu-lult street.—Great part of the plate was discovered at a Jew's in
Petticoat-lane, where it was sold by a woman known by the name of
Mrs. Hankey now in custody, who was employed by the Wardsman
to carry it out of Newgate for that purpose.

The prisoner, together with Mrs. Hankey, were remanded until
Montiiy week, when further evidence respecting the plate will lirt

Issakt..g it, are left to you to settle with the proper British
auth,tity. On the other subject, as a statement of the
transaction has been received flout the American prisoners.
tiiffering vet)• materially in fact from that which had
resulted from an inquiry instituted by the Port Admiral,
it hag been thought advisable that some means should be
devi.cd of procuring information as to the real state of the
case, in order, on the one hand, to shew that there had not
been any wanton or improper sacrifice of the lives of Ameri-
can citizens ; or, on the other, to enable the British
Qoveriimen to punish their civil or military officers, if it
should aepear that they have resorted to measures of ex-
t; eme sever try without necessity, or with too much pre-•,
capitation. Lord Castlereagh proposed that the enquiry
should be a joint one. conducted by a Commissioner selected
by cad, Government. And we have thought such an
engeiry most likely to produce an impartial and satisfactory
result. We presume that you will have ton much occu-
pation on the (list subject and the other incidental duties
of your office, to attend to this enquiry in person. On that
supposition we have stated to the British government that
we should recommend to you the selection of Charles King,
Esq. as a fit person to conduct it in behalf of the American
gcvetnment. If Mr. King will undertake the business, he
sviil for thwith proceed to Dartmoor, and in conjuction with
the British Commissioner, who may be appointed on the
occasion, will examine the persons concerned, and such
other evidence as may be thought necessary, and make a
joint report upon the facts of the case to John Q. Adams,
Esq Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at this
Cow t, and to the itish Government. The mode of execu-
ting this service must be left to the .discretion of Mr. King
and colleague. If they can agree upon a narrative of the
facts, after having heard the evidence, it will be better than
reporting the whole mast of testimony in detail, which they
may perhaps find it necessary to do, if they cannot come to

of wounding your feelings by speaking the language of
, sincerity: but I owe it to you, since to you it will prove
useful and even necessary.

"'Yon have acceptbd; as a tetreat, the island of Elba and
its sovereignty. I lend a very attentive ear to all that is
said respecting that sovereignty and that island. I think
it my duty to assure you, that the situation of that island
_
in Europe does not become your own, andthat the title
of Sovereign of a few acres of land, still less becomes
him who has possessed an immense empire.
I beseech you to weigh these two considerations, and
you will feel how well they are founded.
The island of Elba lies at a. short distance from Africa,
Greece%
.and Spain : it almost touches the coasts of Italy
and of France. From that island, the sea, the winds,
and a small felucca, may rapidly conxey to every country
most exposed to movements, events, and revolutions. As
yet, stability exists nowhere. In this mutability of na-
tions, a genius like yours will always create inquietude
and suspicions amongst the European Powers. 'Without
being criminal, you will be accused; but without being
criminal, -too, you will do harm; for alarm is a great evil
both to governments and to nations.
The King who is about to reign in France, will wish to
reign only by justice ; but you know how many passions
surround a throne, and with what skill hatred imparts to
calumny the colours of truth.

The titles which you preserve, whilst recalling at ever•
moment wliat you have lost, can only serve to encrease
the bitterness of your regrets. They will not appear a
wreck., but a vain representation of so many vanished
grandeurs. I say more : without honouring you, they
will expose you to greater dangers. It will be said that
you o`aly keep those titles because you maintain all your
pretensions. It will be said that the rock of Elba is the
resting point on which you intend to place the lever with
which you will seek once more to raise the world.
Allow me to tell you my whole thought : it is the re.
sult of my reflexions. It would be more glorious and
more consolatory for you to live as a simple citizen : and
at present, the safest and the most becoming asylum for a
man like you, is—the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
There, you will recommence your existence in the
midst of a people still new : who will know how to ad.
mire, without fearing, your genius. You will be undi;►
the protection of those laws, equally impartial and invio-
lable for all that breathe--i►► the country of Franklin.
Washington, and Jefferson. You will prove to the Ame•
ricaus that if you had bee► born amongst them, you would
have felt, thought, and voted like them ; and preferre•'

earth.

Ifighness Monsieur, April 4s, 18 14.

MONSEIGNEUR,--I have attempted to render a fresh ser-
vice to the Emperor Napoleon, whose Minister I have been
during ten years. I think it proper to communicate to
your Royal highness the letter which I have written to
him. Isis interests cannot be an indifferent object to me,
since they have moved the generous compassion of the
Powers who have conquered him. But the greatest of all
interests for France and for Europe, that to which every
thing should be sacrificed, is the repose of nations and of
Monarchs, after so many agitations and calamities: and that
r:pose, even if it should be established on solid bases,
mould never be sufficiently secured, would never be truly
enjoyed, as long as the Emperor Napoleon should stay in.
the island of Elba. Napoleon on that rock, would be to
Italy, to France, and to all Europe, what Vesuvius is by
thy side of Naples. I only see the New World and the
Lulled States in which he can produce no convulsion.

gauzes, French washing silks, and French cambrics, are all worn,
and one would be pouted to tell which predmoinates. High drrsses
of French cambric, with slight French silk scarfs, and French hats
of plain straw, ornamented with feathers, are in very general request.
White lace spencers still continue in the highest estimation, as are
also scarfs of silk and white lace, The only actual novelty of the
month is a very tastetiol Wive, composed of fine India sprigged
muslin ; it is a three quarter length, rounded at the corners, and
trimmed in tasteful style, which is difficult to describe. It is com.
posed of plain clear nnulln formed in scollops by casings which ar•
drawn with ribband.

The bodies of the morning and promenade costume continue to
be worn with cross or handkerchief tionts, and are generally trim-
med, agreeably to the texture of the dress, with qnilled toll or ribbon,
The quilled ribbon is also predominant in single rows at the ti.et of
all dresses composed of silk, bombazeen, or fancy prints. The
prevailing colours are primrose, celestial blue, and evening prim.
rose -, the waist short, and the fHlness of the peiicaat carried to the
back. Ruffs of French work are universally worn, except in full
dress.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATVHDAY, ATLY 1.

THE JUNG V. Hooftm tx.

The Attorney-General stated that this was an indictment preferred
by the prosecutor, a respectable merchant, against the defendant, for
a most violent and aggravated assault upon his person. The defend.
art was also a merchant. Some dispute respecting commercial trani•
actions had arisen between them, and in consequence of it, the de-
fendant invited several other merchants to come and see him pull the
prosecutor's nose ; and, as the fittest place in ell London for such an
exhibition, he selected the Royal Exchange.
Mr. Gurney here interposed, on the pan of the defendant, and ob-
served, he was instructed by his client to acknowledge fb the utmost
extent all which could he said of the respectability of the prosecutor.
His client was also respectable, and it was some observations which
were reported to have been made by the prosecutor which had irri-
tated him, and led him to be guilty of the breach of the law, for which
he now telt the most sincere regret. As a proof of which he should
now consent to a verdict of Guilty being taken against him.
The Attorney-General said, had Mr. Doorman now stood in the
same situation as he did when this transaction took place, the presiss

X VIII. They • retained their lives, and even their for-
tunes and their titles ; but they also retained the fatal re-
collection that they had voted the death of Louis XVI.
They could not believe that the magnanimity displayed to-
wards them had any other source than policy, a sense of
weakness, and a dread of rousing general alarm, by thl
punishment of the chief criminals. Every step the Go-
vernment took towards Consolidation, seemed to them a
presage of their ruin, and they had no doubt that wheat
the hopes and differences of parties should have subsided,
when the restored monarch shoed have enthroned him-
self in the affections of his subjects, he would cast off his
assumed lenity, and let justice take the place of mercy.
The time, they thought, was fast approaching, and they
determined to anticipate its arrival, and rid themselves of
their fi.ars by the overthrow of the reigning dynasty. Such
zn enterprize could not he effected without the assistance
of the army : but the army, they well knew, would not
take up arms in their cause. They were men of no weight
will the soldiery, who, accustomed to look up to princely
honours as the reward of braveryt and talent, disliked and
despised those Republicans who wished to abolish all titles
and distinctions. The soldiers wouJd even rather have
fought for the King, in case a revolution should have been
attempted to create a Republic, than for those who con-
cealed the accomplishment of their private vi.,ws, under tho
mantle of patriotism. The only means of securing their
support was, therefore, to incite them to rise for a malt
whose memory they still cherished, and whose return to
the throne grey considered as connected with their own
interest and glory. Napoleon was recalled, and the effect
answered their expectations. Not a single regiment re-
mained faithful to Louis X.VIII. not a single hand was
put forth to sustain his throne. This unanimity on the
!.part of the military, created in the Jacobin-. fresh alarm.
They felt that Na'poleon had also just grounds of comp!ait;t
against them for their past pusillanimity and treachery,
and they feared that if he regained his former power, he
would both call them to account for their conduct, and
prevent the execution of their plans of political freedom.
They had imposed conditions on his recall, which he re-
fused to fulfil, when he found how warmly he was sop-
ported by the army and the population of the Eastern de-
-'pAstinents. A Rcpublit; was to have been formed and ha

PRUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF THE 18TH.

A r break of day the Prussian army again began to move. The 4tb
and g2d corps marched by St. Lambert, where they were to take
a position, covered by the forest, near Friehemont, to take the
enemy in the rear, when the moment should appear favourable.
Ttte first corps was to operate by Ohairn on the right flank of the
enemy. The third corps was to follow slow, in order to afford
succour in ease of need. The battle began about ten o'clock in the
Droning. The English army &copied the heights of Mont St.
Jean ; that of the French was on the 7 height; before Plachenoit ;
the former about 80,c00 Rtrong ; the even-y had above 15'0,1;00.
In a short time, the battle became gt neral along the whole

whieb it is impossible to surpass. The repeated charges of the
Old Guard were hatfloil by the intrepidity of the Scotch regi-
ments ; and at every charge the French cavalry was overthrown
by the English cavalry. But the superiority of the enemy in number'

THROW.

The glories reaped by our ilarriors have not proved
barren. If they have cost us more blood, they have pro-
duced greater advantages than any triumph recorded in
our history. At llockstedt and at Blenheimthe pride of
the Great Monarch was quelled;the I3ourbobian dream cti
universal empire dispelled, and the throne of the Lilies
shaken, but not overthrown. The blow struck at Water-
loo has been felt with equal power at Paris, and whilst it
broke the military force, it also destroyed the monarchy of
Napoleon: After detailing his defeat; we enquired in our
last, whether the French peoPle would continue to shed
their blood in his cause for the ruin of their country ?
That question was already decided. itt the trine our pen

traced it, Napoleon had dropped the sceptre, .n second
abdicatibn had relieved him from the terrdrs of dissolving
empire, and the rights -Vainly transferred to his son; were
left to the mercy of tumultuous parties.
It may be said that investigation into the causes ot such
might`• events is premature : that when a mountain giTes
way, vtie must let the wide ruin settle, before we can yen.
tare to explore its scattered fragments. This is corroct
when the crash has riot been foreseen•; bait riot when
trace.; of impending destruction have previously been
marked. •

We have often stated, that high as Napoleen might
*appear in dignity and in power, he was in a great measure
the tool and the skive of a faction, who had raised him for
interested purposes, 'and Would remove him as soon as
they should find their strength equal to the enterprize•
The occurrences of the last eVentful week have Conlin-fled
that opinion, and we shall now unfold the reasons on
which it is founded.

Suspicion is the conAtant attendant of guilt. If par-
doned criminals could forget that they have offended, the'r
conduct would prove them worthy of the forgiveness
which they have obtained. But, conscious of the punish-
nick they deserve, they .eonider mercy as a mere sus-
pension of vengeance, vhich.policy may require, but
whiCh cannot outlast its neressitv. Such was the situa-
tion of the Jacobin; ❑ocher Ow wild govcrnwcut
