•EETRACC OF • LETTER FROM NOME tP FEOII ONE OF
THE FOUR PERSONS WHO EbeS PED.
" ‘VC left Bassorah on the I2th of March 1820, and
had a tedious passage down the Euphrates. On the
17,h we bore off It malt, an island about 40 miles front
Bushire. Duriog the night of the 17th it blew fresh,
with a considerable sea. About 3a. tn. of the 18th it
• fell calm, was black and cloudy, with thunder and
lightning. The mainsail was hauled up, and the top-
sails were lowered soon after. Anota hall past three a
sudden squall came frian the northward, accompanied'
with thunder lightning, and rain. I was in bed, but
luckily awake. I turned out on hearing the wind ; and
about birth opened on the main-hatchway, I went out
and stood between decks to see what was the matter.—
As 1 looked up, the vessel keeled, the water came rushing
over the larboard gunwale, the launch went over the
side, and and at the same time I heard a crash above me,
which must have been the mainmast. Al this time I
heard a horrid shriek, and found myself below water.
" All this must have taken place in less than a mi-
nute and a half from the first coining on the squall. On
coining to the surface I foiand myself among pieces of
boanls, and haerd akw men around. 1, however, felt
myself irresisiably pulled below tne water, and went to
the depth of three or km fathoms befote the power
that drew me desisted. There was HOlhing had hold Of
me, but some power I could not overcome, drawing me.
It was the vortex formed by the sinking sessel. On
reaching the surface a second nine, and swimming a
little, I saw a boat bottom up, towards whien I made,
lutl got upon it. Hearing some people in the water
near use, (lOr it was quite dark and rattly), I calk(' out,
and was joined by six or seven more of my uniortnuate
companions. All else was quiet, except the tossing of
the waves, and 'ha cries of a little boy at a distance, but
to whom we could give no assistance. In a few aniontes
he sunk, and we were left the remainder of 83 persons,
whoa few minutes before had no idea of danger. The
squall was now over, hut a heavy sea continuing, made
the canoe roll over and over, which always threw us to
sonic distance in the water and exhausted us very much.
After tumbling shout in this way for some time, three
or four men could stainl it no longer, and dropped off.
There were now four of us only remai :ling, of 83 persons
whocomposed the ship's company, and expecting eve:),
moment to share the same fate. However, we at last
contrived to rignt the boat, and kept her on her keel,
although Mil of water, by placing a few spars aceross the
gunwale, which prevented her from rolling. We fas-
tened these with strips of our shirts and handkerchiefs,
and Eat upon them. At day.break, the lands of Rar-
rah was seen, about 12 miles distant. We also saw the
high land about Bushire, but that was far off. At this
time we were juiued by two other men, who hail kept
near us on a spar until our little raft should be ready.
One of these poor fellows died before we reached the
shore. Sitting upon this swamped boat, nuked, and
every sea coining over us, we continued to drift towards
the island, and about two p.m. we got within a mile or
two of the beach, and expected in half an hour more to
land. At this time I observed that the tide began to set
us off again, and drift us round the island. As we were
eviden.ly leaving the shore fast, it was proposed to swim
ashore, but on making the experiment we found our-
selves weak, and the distance so great, that we were glad
to put about, and with greatdifficulty some of us reached
the canoe. Luckily the current soon changed and
sent us back again, and a little after sun set we were cast
upon a reef of rocks, over which waded till we got upon
dry laud. After Avdlking two or three hours along the
beach, we arrived at the town, and were immediately
taken to the Shiek. We remained there three days, and
dining that time received every attention and kindness
we:could expect. Ott the 22d March time Snick gave us
a boat, in which we arrived at Bushire the saute even-
ing. We left Bushire on the 28th, and arrived here a
few days ago.

Between seven mill eight o'clock, on Saturday morning,
the neighbourhood of Ilowtiag-pimalley, Chancery-litue,
were alarmed at the cries of murder issuing from a house iu
that 'dace, where it was stated that a nom had been mur-
dered by his aife. William %Villas% right, a poi:cc-wheel.,
residing at 37, Cursitor-street, silts sent for by some of the
neighbours to enquire into the ciee, and take the
into custody. It appeared that a coati named Jeremiah
Wilkis, a coal-heaver, cohabited for above two years with
a oilman of the town of the mime of Margaret Barker, who
passed as bis w ifs. Whilst sitting at breakfast together, they
had soine high words, a lien tra a sudden site took a knife
the table, and made a desperate 61:41/ lit 111111 in the side l the
knife iortunately came against one of the ribs, which pre-
sealed it, entering the body, but with midi force as to slit
and penetrate the bane. Tne wretched woman was secured
and brought before the Sittiag Magistrate at llattomgai den

with lt difficulty, to proceed to the police otlice. The
complainant being aware that the chlrgy against the priso-
ner was capital, hesitated for 40111, time, and at length,
after obtaining a promise from her that she would never
Cole near him any inure, refused prosecuting her. The
woman, after receiving a severe lecture, was discharged.
Seafaring persons ought to be made generally ac-

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

The excellent Comic Opera of Love its a Village was
repeseitted on Thursday night at this house, clitetly for
the purpose of introducing Mr. Horn, as Young Mea&see,
This Gentleman is known to the public as a composer
as well as a vocal performer; and the absence of three
or four years seems to have been turned to good account,
as he returns to the metropolis with a voice and powers
consider:oily improved. lie now mauafes a voice of
much power with increased energy. 1 his is a great
advantage to hilts, as his former efforts were mainly de•
ficient in animation. He gave " Still in hopes to get
the better," in a spirited style, and highly effective strain.
His articulation was good, and the general per.ormance
as forcible as it was skilful. It was warmly encored.
this execution of " Oh I how shall I in language weak,"
reflected credit on his science and taste. 11 was impres-
sive, and highly melodious. He was throughout the
clivracicr, greeted by the audience in a very flattering
manner. Miss Greene played Rosetta, and performed
the several airs, icc. in a style of cultivated and musical
excellence that warrants the favourable opinion which
we expressed of her on her first appearance. Her voice
IS one of great compass and much melody; her judg-
uncut is very promising; and her skill is of a superior
order, though she does not appear to have adopted any
very decided style of singing. The Hawthorn of Mr.
Taylor afforded entertainment, and the audience heartily
cheered his eulogiuui on early hours and an active life
—he mentioned it to be " a maxim with him, that a
hale cobbler was a better mall than a sick King.
A Ballet, called Annette and Lubin, was afterwards
performed by the Foreigners from the Opera House;
and notwithstanding tlie adroit and skilltil manner in
which they tripped it on the light fantastic toe, tite
visitors of the " National" Theatre, greeted them as um-
ceremoniously as usual. This sort of reception, at what
are called our regular winter and " National" Theatres,
although not very liberal, is not unprecedented. Mr.
Garrick went to great expellee in importing dancers
trout Paris to perform in his Chinese Festival, we think
was the name of the Piece; but so strong was the oppo-
sition of the audience, that the Public would not only
nut encourage diem, but they compelled Mr. Garrick to
succumb to ttieni. On the present occasion, however,
the Opera dancers seem to merit inure generous treat-
ment, when the laudable mauve of their limited en-
gagement is r‘menitsered.

Licences.-4fany thing were wanting to prove the
want of the needful in the Exchequer, the docu-
ment copied beneath (which isior jirst lime now
serving on every Beer, Spirit, and Wine Merchant
and Dealer) will supply the vacuum. This mea-
sure has a further political bearing: the money it
will bring in before the sth proximo, will lend a
little comfortable assistance in bolstering up the re.
ceipt item in the national accounts for the quarter.,
ending that day. Some of these notices have no
name affixed to them, and we should be glad to be
informed of the cause of the omission, and also
under what Act a fine can be levied for the non-
payment of monies not due. We shall make no fur-
ther comment on the subsequent very extraordinary
notice, as we have reason to believe that it will
become a matter of Parliamentary discussion.

ALARMING FlRE.—Friday morning, between twelve
and one o'clock, an alarming lire broke out at the house
of Mr. Fisher, corn-chandler, in the Broadway, West-
minster, which was consumed, as were also Cook's
eatilig-house, Holland's potatne warehouse, and Mr.
Cooper's ar. apothecary. It raged with such fury that the
whole neighbourhood was terrified Mr the salety of their

.....,011•.....

A numerous and respectable Meeting of the Journeymen
Letter press Printets of London and the environs, virati held
on Monday night at the Crown and Anchor 'favern, Strand,
tor the purpose of voting an Address of Condolence out
Congratulation to the Queen.
Mr. John Simmons took the chair, by the unanimous con-
sent of the Meeting.
It was then proposed to read the list of subscriptions in aid
of the undertaking. The list was accordingly read, which
wWeli guise general sal isfitction.
Mr. C. Waterson next proposed nn appropriate Address.
Several of the phrases were opposed by Mr. Forbes, but
the Address nos ultimately agreed to with applause.
Mr. Mercier then observed, that it was necessary to snake
some arrangement for presenting the Address in a respect-
able manner. He reminded the Meeting that Printers were
entitled, by an Act of Queen laizabi th, to wear bag wigs
and a sword, but he dad not recommend them to assume
those external honours. He proposed that a Deputation
should go in coaches with white favouts at the breast.
Thus proposal met with some opposition.—A cry was
raised of .• Nu 1 no I we will go on foot in a body."
Mr. Mercier reminded the adverse party that It might rein,
and a wet jacket was not the costume they ought to wear lu
the prcsence of Itoyalty. Ile concluded by moving a rest).
lation,—That the Address be presented by a deputation of
the profession: that such deputation be conveyed to the
Queen in coaches and pairs, aid that each Member wear a
white favour on the left breast.
Mr. Waterson strongly supported the resolution, which
was agreed to.
It was alsO resolved that the Committee do sit nt the
Three Herrings, liell.yard, on the 21i11, and ,27th instant,
from eight o'clock to ten, fur the purpose of receiving
Subscriptions, and the names of those gentlemen who wished
logo up with the Address.
A person proposed that Mr. J. T. Winder should be no-
minated to go up with the Address.
Mr. Waierson opposed the proposition, on the ground
that they had no desire to give the proceeding a political
chewier.
The proposal was negatived.
' It VMS litaiilly resolved, that the Address he printed on satin,
and presented to the Queen by the Chairinao, the Mover,
Salmaster, and others.
A deputation was also appointed to wait on the ,Queen,
asd enquire when she will be phased to receive it.
After some further business, during which it was under-
stood that the Master Printers had no concern whatever
with the proceedings, the Meeting was dissolved.

We lately mentioned a most brutal attack which
was made upon Mr. Wukley, a surgeon, residing
in Argyll-street, on which occasion the villains set
fire to his house, which was entirely consumed.—
The following correspondence has taken place be-
tween Mr. Waklcy, and Mr. Sheriff Parkins:—

Kentish Town, Sept. 21, BYO.
SlR,—From the period of my late catastrophe in Argyll
Street. to add to my anxiety, 1 have been currently
charged by a multitude of malignant slanderers, as being
the person who decapitated Thistlewood and his deluded
companions in May lost.
Your official contradiction of this disgusting falsehood
as Sheriff of London,•will confer a lasting favour on,
Sir, your obliged servant,
THOS. WAKLEY.

J. W. Parkins, Esq. Sheriff of London and Middlesex.
No. 10, New Bridge Street, Sept. 25, 1820.

Sla,—ln answer to your Note of the 21st instant, I feel
myself bound to comply with its contents to the utmost
of my power; but I am sorry to inform you, that the
whole of the disgusting business to which it relates was
conducted with so much privacy, and pertinacions con-
cealment from me, that I WAS 1101 even made acquainted
with the order for the execution until (lie day alter
(Sunday, when I went to Newgate accompanied by a
clergyman) it had been deter m teed upon, and orders
given for erecting the scaffold, thee. by the Lord Mayor
Bridges, and my colleague Mr. Bothwell, who, accom-
panied by his Deputy, had, I understood, beeti the pre-
vious day at the Secretary of State's (Mice arranging the
same. And as to the man who decapitated the unfortu-
nate 'rhistlewood and his companions, lie was procured
for that purpose by the Prison Surgeon, and his terms
201. agreed for by Mr. 'rimier, Mr. Bothwell's Deputy,
and which wages, M-. Turner told me, were repaid to
him by the Home Department, as also 51. he paid to the
man who held up the heads. I did not see the man who
performed the duty 111111i1 he appeared on the scaffold
masked, and dressed as a sailor. By the notice I then
took of him (which was very particular) I perceived I
to be in height about live feet five or six inches ; sod in
answer to any inquiry the other day (in consequence of
your note) who the fellow was, Mr. Turner informetf me
that he was a Resurrection Ma•, who obtained bodies fur
the hospitals , and that when he asked him if lie could
perform the task of cutting all the heads, lie replied, Oh
yes, that he could do it very well, as lie was in the habit
of cutting off nubs (beads) for the purpose of obtaining
sackers (teeth).—l am glad, for the honour of our coins- '
try's humanity, that it was 110 person of respectability,
lint a most illitetate and degraded being, as was also the
wretched individual who held sip the heads of the ittitor-
Innate men. In addition to the above, I am civil-tidy
MI timed that the individual who decapitated Thistic-
wood and his companions was engaged by the Under
Sheriff from Yorkshire to ga there for a similar pm pose,
but in the perlormaisce of which sanguinary work, thank
Providence, he has been disappointed. I cannot con
elude this leper without bearing testimony to the tl aaaaa WIC
disposition of your heart towards the depraved young
mail who robbed you of your watch on the fatal eight,
when crossing the road, and bleeding frem the wounds
Inflicted by the a •sassins and incendiaries ono had set fine
to your house in Argyll Street. l hope this assurance will
convince evety one, even the most malignant of your
enemies, that it was totally impossible any one could

(which I conceive to be about live feet ten inches) for the
person (five feet five or six inches), who perli.rotted the
sanguinary duty on Thistlewood and the Mhos in May

THE NATIONAL REGIST'EIi.

OLD BAILEY SESSIOAS.

Late on Saturday evening a trial came on before the
Common Sergeant, which, fa ono its extraordinary nature,
excited a more powvrli.l feeling than has perhaps been
witnessed in a Court of Justice for IllAily years.
Nancy Darter, a y g female, elegantly dressed, and
evidently of superior moaners, was indicted capitally, for
stealing bl. in notes, one guinea, and wearing appal el,
the property of C. Falck ; and some silver spoons, the
property of W. Ball, in the house of the said W. Ball.
The first witness called for the prosecution was C.
Feick, the prosecutor; lee was a welflooking young 111411.
and very ►wanly dressed. Tile moment lie mounted the
witness's box, the prisoner shrieked out, " Oh, gracious
God ! is this possible t" and was nearly fainting. She
was ordered a chair.—Falck then, with a flippancy which
called forth the repeated animadversions of the Judge,
proceeded with his evidence. He lived in the house of
Air. W. 13a11, No. L!, Little Uilime.sireet, Nluoitields. The
prisoner 11411 lived wiih him about a week previous to the
robbery. They lived as man and wife, hot he never
minimized her to take the money or wearing apparel in
question. He never said to the people of the house
wheilier she was Isis wife or nut. She hired the lodging,
and lie belived she represented herself to be his wife.
',be laid out o ney for pi °visions, and he gave her money
every day, orso, a few shillings at a time. He had known
tier three months before she lived with him, and got ac-
quainted with her by seeing her at her father's house,
%lucre lie was at Jamie fur some days. On the •24th of
June lie went uut, leaving cc cry thing safely lucked up,
and when lie returned in the evening lie Mond the door of
103 aparuurulx luckedand the poisoner gone. He got ill
41111 found that all we property mentioned in the indict-
inent was guile. He found the prisoner the next morning
at the Fux and Hounds public-house, in Charter-house-
lane, oil Brown,the officer, whom lie took with
searched her, and found pawnbrokers' duplicates fur his
wisswg sloths-a. There were one waistcoat, two pair of
paid:nouns, and two
CI uss-examined by \i r. Andrews.—Are you a cockney 2
—No. I caine from F..lmouth, iu Cornwall, three years
ago.
You got acquainted with the unhappy girl at the bar at
her father's house, did yi u 2—Yes.
And you had know es sir three months when you seduced
her, soil took her to you bed; and now you come to pro-
secute her fur her lilt /—I did not seduce her. .

Did you Hui, Sir, promise to make her your wife?—No.
She came troin her tither's house, where she was living
in comfort and reputatiou, did she not?—She did, but it
was wish. _ _ _

Did you not pass her as your wife ?—No ; I never said
one way or the oilier about it.
What are you ?—I sin a journeyman carpenter.
How much can you earn ?—Thirty shillings a week. I
work fur a Mr. Rolfe, a builder. I gave her money every
day.
The witness then went on to state that he had, at the
request of the prisoner, visited her while in confinement.
His only object in visiting her was a hope of discovering
where the remainder of his properly was. He visited her
three times in the Giltspur-street Compter, and once in
Newgate. He paid 12s. out of 30s. for linloigs at Mr.
Hall's. He gave her some money, but did nut know how
much. He was nut at all ashamed at taking her away
from her father's house. She enticed murmur
ran through the Coml.
The C Sergeant—And are you really not ashamed
of the conduct you have pursued towards Lids young wo-
man?

alek—Not at all, my Lord.
Mrs. Ball, flue landlady of the house where the parties
lodged, was called, and identified the spoons pawned by
the prisuyer. Thsty came as a new-married couple; and
the prisoner told her that she was married without her fa-
flier's consent.
Brown, the Officer, said, that when lie found the pri-
soner lie told her she was charged with a felony ; and she
immediately said she would give up every thing she had.
The prisoner being called on for her defence, addressed
the Court in great agitation. The prosecutor, she said,
had come to her father's house, and gut her away from her
home by the most artful promises and persuasions. When
lie visited her in prison lie promised solemnly that he
would nut indict her.—She said to him, " You knows
Charles, I do not deserve it; you know you hail a share
of it ;" and he again declared lie would not indict her;
adding, that lie would not have proceeded so far, only
that " his own character was at stake."—The prisoner, at
the conclusion of her address, was again nearly fainting.
A sister of the prisoner was called, and stated, that the
letter had lived in comfort and happitiess at tier lathes's
lonise until she knew the prosecutor. Falck had begged
witness often to assist him in obtaining access to her sister
The latter never communicated to writing her design of
going away with Falek.
A Solicitor, who had known the prisoner's family many
years, described it to be extielliely respectable; and
spoke to the character which she had uniformly borne
belote this distressing occurrence. Her father was a
housekeeper in the its hood of the Court.
The Common Sergeant, in summing up the evidence,
remarked with great severity on the conduct of the pro"
seentur, Frick, and told the Jury, that it the case rested,
solely our the es idelice of that poison, they ought to acquit
the prisoner. They had it in evidence, that the prisoner
Was Its lug happily with her father; that she was seduced
by the Huss cultic ; and was now hfutigiit to this unhappy
satiation by his artifices.
The Ji.ry consulted about a minute, and returned n ver-
dict of Not Guilty; which was ptimutineed with struiez
vutivba.by by the k'orenhtn, and received wills applause by
the whale COlllt.
The prisoner, with an hysterical sob, said, '6 Oh, Gen-
tlemen, I thank you !" and was borne out ut Coon t.

Atioiloll.l,4) was absent, and Mr. Law supplied his place,
and cross-exam ined the a iiiiihses with considerable ability.!
Several a itnesses were called, who gave the prisoner is

The prisoner was acquitted.

The following prisoners were convicted :—Mary Smith,

I'count:tr.—Late ou Tuesday evening, Thames Derry,
an elderly man of respectable appearance was indicted fur
malicious, an. corrupt perjury, in-sweating an affi-
davit before Mr. Justice Dailey, the allegations in which
were totally false and unfounded, for the purpose of procur-
ing the arrest of Mr. James Lloyd, a respectable butcher
residing in Bethnal Green Road.
Mr. Wells, Clerk to Mr. Justice Bayley, deposed, that the
affidavit now sheen to him was sworn to by the defendant
before the Learned Judge, at his chambers in Sergenat's
ou the tith of October, 1819. The affidavit was read. It
stated in substance, that on Saturday, the 18th September
preceding, the defendant having had some words with Mr.
James Lloyd," was violently pushed, assaulted. kicked, aud
knocked down, by the said James Lloyd; that he received
a violent contuse to on the right arm, which (totally deprived
him of the use of it up to the tittle that this affidavit was
sworn; that lie had a wife and two small children entirely
dependent upon him for support, and that by the aforesaid
kick• and bruises, &e. he was rendered wholly incapable of
procuring a livelihood."
The defendant, it appeared, hart entered an action for the
alleged assault, and the object of this affidavit was to pro.
cure the arrest of Mr. Lloyd, in order that he might put it,.
bail. He so contrived mutters too, Cut( Mr. L. was taken
into custody on Saturday evening, to the greaf incoevenlence
and detriment of his business; independent of which be eat
kept in confinement until Monday morning. A summons
was also issued by the Judge for the dereudant to shew cause
against the affidavit, which he aid byhis attorney, and the
result was that he was discharged out of custody without
giviug bail.
Mr. James Lloyd staled, that he was a butcher in Bethnal
Green Road, and the defendant lived next doer to him. It
was his custom to put up a shutter at one end of his shop la
order to keep the dust and what from Ids meat and lamps at
night, ni.J on the evening of the 118th September, 1819, the
di fendant, aha appeared to be intoxicated, came up to the •

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 2.
Three o'clock, p. rn.

Yesterday a courier arrived with despatches at
the French An►bassador's, the Duke Decases, an-
nouncing that the Duchess of Berri was safely deli-'
.vered of a Prince at five o'clock on Friday morning,
who was, with his illustrious mother, us well us
could Le e::peeted. Thursday the accouchentent of
her Royal Highness was considered as fast approach.
ing, and the necessary officers of state were sum-
moned for the purpose of seeing the birth of the
royal infitnt recorded. and to be present at the bap-
tism. The child, in addition to his other names,
was baptized Prince of Bourdesux. The birth was
announced to the Parisians by the firing of cannon,
and telegraphic despatches communicated the event
at Calais and other places, which was followed by
discharges of artillery.
The Paris Papers of Thursday are totally barren
of intelligence. The King continues to hear Mass
in his apartments in the Palace, but is so grievously
affected with the complaint in his legs that he is
not able to leave his Palace. Prince Talleyrand, on
Wednesday, had an interview with his Majesty.
Official advice from Barcelona, of the 18th ult. in
the French Journals, states, that the yellow fever
has again unfortunately appeared in Andalusia.
Nine persons bud fallen victims to the disease at
Xeres, and at Cadiz an individual had died of the
malady, and others had been attacked by it. The
contagion has also appeared in the Isle of Leon and
at Port St. Mary. It is said that Ali Pacha has
male offers to the Porte to quit the Ottoman terri-
tory, urn condition of pecuniary advantages being
granted to the members of his family, and to his
most faithful servants.

The following article is copied from the Miscella-
nea, a Madrid paper, of the I 1 tit of September. It '
is headed, " On the trial of the Queen of Eng-
land :"
" This day we take up the pen, not to transfer to paper, as we
daily do, ille•Lb on this or that point of politics or economy. We
arc compelled to write by the necessity which we feel, ot render-
ing a solemn homage to the eternal principles of public morality,
ini.h.nantly set aside in the abominable trial which is prosecuting
kefore the Peas of England.
ef It is well known to all, that there arrive! lately in England
a cargo of the lnweu filth of Italy, brought together to stain.
with the vilest declarations, the honour of an illustrious Princess.
It is well knosn iikswise to all, that before the commencement of
the trial, several days were spent in attempting, if possible, to
prevent it by negotiation, and thus to enable the English minis-
try to present vie shame with which the indecent trial of the
Queen was going to euver that great nation. Filially, it was
known to all that the obstinacy of the ministry rendered useless
the excellent sitspositicn to acannmodation, evinced by that
tu.fortunate Princess, and that at hilt a plos-cution began, the
e^andalous terour of which excites the most melancholy consider-
,tions, and shows to what an extreme of degradation corrupt men
will he caviled by their own selfishness.
'• The first w.tiaas who was examinal in this opprobrious cause
is a wretch called Theodori Alajoehi; this infamous creature,
who lived for a considerable time with the Queen in the charac'cr
of lacquey, while she reiitied in Italy, and who followed her in
her travels to Constantinople and Pulestine, declared, in confor-
nil with some insthutui questiuns, that his mistrears passed,
during the night, into the room of Berganti (hkewi,e a servant of
tie Princess); that in the bed of this person there was the up-
leamnce of two having slept, while that of the Queen did not
ai pear to have been used at all ; that Bergtuni ser ed her wli,a
the bathed ; and that on one occasitio lie gm e her a kiss, with
it her indeetncieJ which ee cat.t.ot ineution. The in teriohittury

ficient to confound biol• and make him fall dead with shame.
It his sold, stink in the lowest filth of delocinent, had been

which he had stated, and entrench himself within his studied
and ur.ifOriu • Non rri rico do.' Tint discovered the caution
which he employed to earn the unworthy recompense which had
keen promised hint for his filthy calumnies.
" The snot-hes Cayetano Pattuzu, Vicer.te Barguilo„ Peer°
Puchi, and Berbera K.e lacquies, sailors, or waiters, (sinca
the English ministry has taken care to employ that low rabble to
ha ch evidence against the Queen,) relate particulars more or less
filthy; hut so absurd, improbable, anti contradictory, that after
kering been heard they ought to have been imprhomal, that they
thight suffer in due time the punb.l.ment which their perjuries
deserved. Up to the present time. only two respectable men,
Capt. Pecliell, of the frigate Cictinde, and Cant. Ilriggs, of the
ship LetrUrthata, have been examined in titt;,e proceedings.—
These twe officers have deposal to nothing which can compromise
the tiorieur of the Queen, and the testimony uf two Englishmen
of thstinct.ou is of more value, doubtler., than that of Li the las-
quiss aid waiters whir live between the Lake of t;cneva and the
extremity of Calabria. We must no: omit that, front the thcl:•.-
ratiom of the-e bribed witncsse4, it appears, first, that they have

.1 From these facts, which the trial has disclosed, it appears
that, in order to affbrd to England the most scandalous spectacle
which it I;as seen since the deat:i of Ann Boleyn Al nisters have
squandered with oriental premion the treasures of that generous
tuition on abject and vile Italians, who have made a horrible
traffic of their filthy calumnies. It appears likewise, that the
fruit which the English ministry will dente iron having lavished
in the ;:ly of these vile creatuies isneli immense sums—the price
of the sweat of British subjects—will be the ignominy of having
injured their Queen in public opinion. whether she shall be
'lc dared guilty or whether, as it to be hoped, they dechue her
innocent; in which Cabe the character of tie Princess must still
stiffer, bemuse it is the prenerty of calumny always to leave sonic
indelible vestiges. On both of these suppositions the Englisis
Ministry will cover itself with eternal di'graec, which will be
Much greater if it causes its Queen to be condemned on the tes-
timony of infamous and suborn...el witnesses, shown to he SU by
the deposition of themselves': for the indemnity of 1,(100 dollars
per month is a real subornatino ; and for such a suns Italy might
have teen depopulated of half its inhabitants. who would have
gone to the end of the world, to %melt as many calumnies as
'night be dictated to them.
'• We shall add, that the evident intention of the ministry is
to deprive the Queen ofthe respect and regard of the English ua •
Lion; and that with that intention it has slowed the evidence to
be published in which corrupt and shameless Italians have de-
posed to scandals and abominations, which, for the preservation
of public morals, ought to have been buried within tile precincts
of the court. The precaution which, when causes of this kind
are proceeding, is taken in all civilised countries, in order not
to offend the ears of youth, has been disdained in a process,
which, from the exalted station of the person aCCllbeti, must
resound not only in all the corners of Europe, but to the most
remote extremities of the globe. To such a degree does the
spirit of party make them tii,regard the common rules of mo-
rality, and fail in the respect due to the public I We shall add,
in conclusion, that the English nation has conducted itself in
such deplorable circumstances in a manner the most nobles all
the cities hasten to manliest to the Queen the indignation which
the conduct of the ministry excit,ss; and the immense population
of London, which forms perhaps a tenth part of the Ontish do.
minions in Europe, gives her every day the most eager proofs of
the interest whiles they take in her lot."

THE ITALIAN WlTNEsses.—Friday end Saturday
pariours were employed paving Comm Garden, for the
additional comfort of the Italian witnesses, who com-
plained, we understand of the dampness of the gravel,
though it was newly and thickly laid on when IPey took
possession of their present minters. In their meals too,
since the change of the season, their palates have been
consulted. At one o'clock tome highly seasoned soup is
served tip for their ; three o'clock is men (ho-
ner hour; and time b..st fruit desert which Ilse season
furnishes is also supplied to their table. They amuse
themselves as usual; ball playing in the morning, and
with music of various kinds in the evening. Theodore
Majocei is the sporting man of the company; he was
absent liar several days dist week, perhaps on a visit during
the shooting season. Twenty-six of the witnesses remain
in Cotton Garden. They promenade the yard during
the greater part of Ow day, suave of them smoking segars,
and others singing and playing at ball.—Tinee Links a
a week supplies of flour, and various articles of grocery
and other necessaries, are brought in carts for their use.
Fresh meat, consisting of an abundant supply of the best
loovis'ons in the marker, is daily brought to the larder. '
l'he cooks have a busy time of it, and as welt as the
other attendants, dine at one o'clock, after the lunch
is served up for the witnesses. The laughter amid jollity
of the Italians dining their daily sports, can be plainly
heard in front of the place of their pastimes.--Many um
them are permitted to come out occasionally, at early
hours of the mortiliem, and in the evening, and have, we
understand been conducted to some of the public places
of amuse meta.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated
Naples, Sept. 12, and received by the mail of Sa-
turday :
" The principal purport of our present is to communicate the
intelligence, which states to have been this day received front
Sicily, that, after a sanguinary battle fought between the Royal-
ists and the Palermitans. the latter were completely defeated,
with the loss of the Kreuter port of their force, and that Colonel
Costa, at the head of the army, entered Palermo on the 9th.—
This intelligence is said to hove been received by telegraph, and
gene' ally credited here. The battle took place about 15 miles
from Palermo. It is impossible, of course, to answer for the
ofrrrectness of this statement; but, from the different quarters in
which it is circulated, it is entitled to 150111 C degree of credit.—
Report adds, that the official account will be published in the
Gazette Of this evening. We rewaid here in a spite of tran•
quillity %.e have always enjoyed hitherto; and if foreign powers
will only let us be quiet, so tir from any just cause of apprehen-
sion existing for the safety of property, it may be considered
perf.,eily secure; and that ti.e revolution, so far from prejudic-
ing commerce, will improse it."
