A patios at Merton, in Surrey, lately bad his child inocu-
lated ter the sneall-poz, by an apothecary from a neighbotee-
ing village. The disease appeared at the usual time, and the
child was carried about all parts of the haste, without any
precaution. Whet might have been foreseen diJ take plate
—the infection spread—two sten and two children Immo.
diately caught the disease; and, lamentable to relate, both
the men, and one of the children, perished. Where the cala-
mity wilt stop is (elite uncertain, several others having
caught the infection ; and among that rest, au only child cf
Treacher. one of those who perished, is now et the point of
death. The fate of this (amity is more to be deplored, from
the youth and good character of the parries ; the father, a
fine healthy young man, Montt IS, but for the criminal
&malice of .[hero, might have lieed long and esefal, wipe
porting his family by leis industry, and benefiting society by
his labour ; but now deprived of hire, even should the chihf
recover, It wilt in all probability become an inhabitant of a
workisouet.

SUNDAY, JANU4RY 17, 1819.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last
arrived yesterday. They state that on Monday a pro-
ject .of law was laid before the Chamber of Deputies,
laving fur its object to bestow a pension of 50,000
francs upon the Duke de Richelieu and his posterity.
This pension is to arise from a grant of landed property,
to be chosen from among the domains assigned to the
Civil List by the•law of Nov. S, 18 4. The Marquis
Dessolles introduced the measure with an appropriate
speech. lie observed, in allusion to the causes which
had produced their liberation from foreign armies, that
elle Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle, had proclaimed, a s
one of their principal motives, " the happy effects of
the institutions" which prevailed in France. Speaking
of the Dule, he said, he had cicsplayetl, during the tie-
relations, " that loyalty, those diplomatic talents,
combined with integrity and honour, which inspire
confidence, and that modest dignity which obtain.
respect."
_ .

In the same sitting, Baron Louis, the Minister of
Finance,, submitted a prtject of law, for fixing the
period, '(July Ist) at which the financial year should
commence in future. The reasons for this alteration
were detailed by the Baron at some length. The great
evil which it proposes to abolish is, the necessity of any
.provisional collection •of the revenue,.b-afore the bud-
get for each particular year shall have been voted. The
law will commence its operation in July, 1820, and it
is enacted by the second article, that the budget for
1819 .sball comprehend a suppkment,u7 budget of-the
supply for the first six months of 1820.

They have begun to make preparations for the cere-
mony of'shc Kirfg's coronation.

Accounts have been receired from Rio Janeiro, 113.thitt,
and Permunbuco ; th latest of which ore dated the end
of last month. By their contents we are enabled to
give u contradiction to the intelligence received
through the United States, or fresh insurrections in
the Bragil4. The purrms concerned is the revolution
which occurred some time back, it is true, had not yet
beim brought back to trial.

We yesterday received Charleston Pailers to the
Kith, and Navanuah Journals to the I sth ult. The
conduct of Gen. Jackson and his Court Nlartial to-
wards our uufintunata countrymen, • Arbuthnot and
Ambrister, constitutes a prominent feature in all the
pipers of the Unhm, and we must in justice add, that
not one of them ventures to justify it. Even the
National bitelligencer goes no further than to quibble
upon the subject, afraid, appurent'y to cotakinn, and
yet ashamed to approve.
These Papers contain an account of a discovery
made in the Mississippi territory, ofan tmeietit Cemetry,
which indicates the existetwc, at some remote period,
of a race of pigtuies who inhabited that district.

Thursday night was published a _supplement to the
London Gazette of the I,2th instant, containing ex-
tracts of &Tarbes from Lord Hustings, with others
front subordinate Officers coploytitl on service through.
oat the Peninsula of India. Z.F.ach of the three Pre-
sidencies holding direct communicatim with the East
House, and all being frequently aitt,cipated by private
letters, the seine intelligence is thus repeated from
several distinct sources, though under nearly similar
forms ; and in alluding to the transactions detailed in
one Gazette, we have little more to do • him to remind
our readers of facts which were submitted to them
through the same official ergan many months betide. •
This is pretty mach the case in the present instance,
with the exception, that we find in it a ifew of the
more minute circumatances of those events with the
outline and general, character of which the public are
already acquainted. In the extract from the despatches
of the Marquis of Hustings, Sir J. Malcolm receives
credit fol. the highest skill and ability, and subse
vent moderation of his conduct . towards Bajee Row.
The troops remaining with this Chieftain were, on the
route towards Gwuiior, so entirely surrounded, the:
Advance and retreat were equally impossible : resistance
to the combined force of Sir J. Malcolm and General
Doveton was an expedient no less desperate than thC
eillirt to escape ; se that the ea,Peishwa had no alter-
native but that of unqualified submission ; and the
terms imposed upon him were, that he should reside in
the city of &nares as a private individual, with an
income suited to a person of high birth, but withote •
any other pretensions. The reports from Colon('
M•Dowell, of the siege of Nltilligatim, and of the
ultimate surrender of that fiirtress, will be read with
considerable interest ; the admiration excited by the
bravery of our troops being checkered with deep re-
gret for the loss of so many valuable lives as were un-
avoidably sacrificed in the course of that difficult ser-
vice. The public are already inthrmed, that the cap-
ture of the fert of Moolbeir terminated the war in the
domittiont of the conquered Peishwu. The Gazelle
eoncludes with an account of a gallant and successful
action, on the part of Brigadier Gen. rid Hardyman at
the head of the 17th British infantry and the Bth .
regiment of native horse, against a numerous body of
the Nagpore Rajah's troops, in the vicinity of Jubbul-
pore. After a short conflict, the enemy were beaten
with con.4.lerable slaughter, and all the guns in their
possession taken. The immediate occupation of Jub-
bulpore, together with its stores and cannon, was the
consequence of the above exploit.
The novelty presented itself on Thursday of Parlia-
ment being opened in the absence of the. Lord Chun-.
calor, who, in consequence of the continuance of in-
disposition, was unable to attend. The Lord Chief
Baron, however, nut being a l'eer of Parliament, can
neither speak nor vote, and he was obliged, on the
entrance of the Lords Commissioners, to leave his
place on the Woolsack, and stand behind the Prince's
chair, on the right hand of the throne. If we are not
mistaken, he is the first commoner, since the reign of
George I. who has acted as Speaker of the House of.
Lords. In the tenth pear of that reign, Lord Chief
Justice King presided nt the trial of the Lord ( :ban-
cellor, the Earl of Macclesfield, for extortion and
corrupt practices. The opinion appears to have been
erroneous, that new writs . might •be moved imme-
diately after the appointment ut the Speak r. It seems
that firarteen days must elapse ,the tune allowed f< r
presenting petitions against returns) before new writs
can be moved for. Mr, Brougham is expected to move
the new writ to replace the hunented S.c awn! Ro-
