February, a journal says—" A melancholy catas-

known in England and this country for his acquaint-
ance with civil engineering, who Les been residing
in this situ for two or three years, but whose utility
was conAderahly arrested by an unfortunate habit
to which he had become addicted, was destined on
that day to breathe his last. In a moment of intem-
perance, as he stood by the piece of artillery which

wished to die. As the second gun was about to
fire, and immediately after the commanding officer
had given the word, " fire !" Colonel Tatham prc-
sented himself in front of the muxale of the piece,
and by its discharge, his abdomen was almost lite-
rally blown to pieces. His body was raised a few
feet in the air by the explosion, and he fell upon his
face without uttering one word that was heard by
the by-stunders. Colonel Tatham died without any
family : circumstances had stripped life of much of
its attractions in his eves. He was a man of great

Accounts from Cadiz on Monday state, that the
Viceroy of Peru, in order to preserve a communica-
tion with such ports as were occupied by the Pa-

several ships, which were to be armed ; and as Lima
had been thrown open to the British trade, he had
no difficulty in procuring vessels. Several of them
were of a large tonnage.

The spirit of emigration from Portsmouth con-
tinues unabated. Every packet for Havre conveys
numerous passengers destined for America; and not
less than 500 Englishmen are supposed to be now
at Havre, waiting for a fair wind, many of whom
have been there upwards of a month. About 70
persons, chiefly artisans and mechanics, with women
and children, amounting in the whole to at least 200,
have embarked during last week, intending to pro-
ceed Brom Havre in an American brig belonging to
Baltimore, which has been taken up expressly for
the purpose. The expences of the voyage are to be
defrayed out of a fund which has been accumulating
for some time past by a small weekly subscription,
and the total charge for each passenger is said to be
less than 41. _ _

Extract of a letter, dated Madrid, March 21 :
" According to the information contained in the
commercial advices, it would appear that the Vice-
Royalty of Mexico may be considered to be in a
state of tranquillity ; the Patriot bands having
almost entirely disappeared, and those that remain
are timid from the smallness of their numbers.—
With regard to affairs in Peru, they do not wear
that tranquil app, urance. It is said to be menaced
by formidable armaments, both by land and sea;
and it is supposed that the succour expected from
the mother country will arrive too late to save
Lima. Six millions of piastres, anti also consider-
able quantities of cochineal and other valuable arti-
cles of merchandise, had arrived at the Havatinala
and would be immediately shipped for Cadiz."

Ntiv CATHOLIC CitArm—Thursday evening,
above 200 Gentlemen, friends of the magnificent
Catholic Chapel, building in Moorfields, dined at the
London Tavern, in flia.ainate-street. The Duke
of Norfolk, who took the chair, was accompanied
by the Rev. Dr. Poynter. the Earls of Surrey and
Shtewßbury, Lord Clifford, Sir George Jcrningham,
Sir Henry Inglefield, and several ethers of the
Catholic Nobility; also by the Archbishop of Jeru-
salem, and several persons of distinction not Catho-
lics. The object of the meeting was to Imonote sub-
scriptions for defraying the cupences of the Chapel,
and they amounted in the course of the evening to
upwards of Itool. The corporation of London have
bberally grin ted the freeholduf the wound in Motu.-
fields, on which the t. impel is buihling.

Miss Kelly has been playing at the Durham and
Sunderland Theatres with very great success.

A considerable degree of sensation has been produced
at hneertiess, by the stoppage of the Bank at that ',Lice.
It was the only establishment of that description there ;
and, as may be expected, many persons will softer.

ROYAL HUNT.—Monday being Easter Monday, the
Royal Stag Hounds were appointed to Hunt. i Afield
Plain being the place appointed Air the deer to be start-
ed, a numerous assemblage of spintsnico were in at-
tendance at an early hour. together with several h !red
on foot, and great numbers in chaise arts, &c. At halt
pest ten o'clock a remarkably fine deer was turned out ut
a cart for the day's sport, by the Royal huntsman.
Immediately the deer started with great speed across the
plain towards ih nod, to St. Leonard's WI, taking to
tile left towards die New Lodge, where he ran with very
greet speed through the enclosures to the Thatnes, mad
crossed it near Surly Hall. The sportsman aild hounds
were 111 consequence obliged to make for the town of
Windsor, which they passed through to the great amuse-
ment of the inhabitants and pai•sengers, and also through
So'lll after the cliaec wos resumed across the
country, making for the bath road, to the left of !-)alt
Hill, leaving Ridstrode to the right, crossed the Cx-
bridge road, taking to the right thsough the fields and
enclosures in the line for Watford, in Hertfordshire.
The deer then took his course rather to the right, and
I passing on some distance, it was taken near Harrow,
after a most excellent run of upwards of four boors.
Most of the sportsmen were knocked up and throw!!
out. There were but very few up when the deer was
taken. Dormg the chase the def.'. crossed 'elm-al canals.

Cureji,r Suprradiun.—Miners are known to be a an-
perAitions race. Then supeistition, however, is some-
times made a pretext for idleness. There is a recipe for
et rr ~ g this species of the disorder. In come iatensive
mines in Wales, the men frequently saw the Devil ; and
when once he had been seen, the men would work no
more on that day. This evil became serious, for old
Hiclzehtib repeated his visits so often, as if he had a de-
sign to injure the proprietor. That gLitileman at last
called his men together, and told them it was very cer-
tain that the Devil never appeared to any body who had
not deserved to be an terrified, and that as he was deter-
mined to keep no rogues about him, he was resolved to
discharge the first man that saw the Devil again. Time
remedy was as effectual as if lie had turned a streaias of
holy water into the mines.
Redundancy of Population.—A few days since a poor
woman of the name of Wood, who resides in Queen-
street, Itussell-street, Brighton, WaS delivered of two
fine girl',; the same woman, two years ago, had two
boys. These children are in good health, as well as four
others previously born, making a total of eight, which
the father and mother, whose earnings at present ate
but right siiitivs a tank, have to suppart, without any
other relief than the payment of the lent of the small
home they live in, which is allowed by the parish of
Balcombe.

of April 10th and 13th :

It is thought boat M. de Courvoisier will, on Saturday
next, make his Report on one of the three laws relating
to the Riess. The Report on the estimates of Ministers,
which Must precede the Report on the several parts of
the Raga, will be made in about a fortnight. Every
thing indicates that the Chamber will accelerate its la-
bours, and that the Session will not he prolonged bejond
May. It is rumoured, that theists' on the responsibility
of Ministers %vtll nut be discussed this year. The Budget
and the Press will occupy the remainder of the Session.
Seserai Swiss families, amounting to about 60 persons,
walked•yesterday in the streets, of Paris. They are Ana-
kraptatts,.who have quitted their country with the inten-
tion of embarking at Havre for America.
The arrival of Lord Whitworth at Paris has.been for
some days the object of conversation among our politi-
c' tits...and a diploniatir mission is atiri!tuted to this A nt-
Isassadurihat seems wholly destitute of probability. It
is mutant that Lord Whitworth was honoured with the
particular friendship of the King of France when his.
Majesty resided's' Hanwell that he has come to Paris
with hiafasaily to pass the fine SCASOII j and that the at-
taehment he bears to the King determined inns, soon
after his arrival, to repair to the Tuileries, where the
King received hint in, private audience. ]t is net (un-
rest than the English Ambassador hail presented him to
his Majesty. Lord Whitworth requires no form.l in-
trstluctiiin'to be received. by the King of France.

Sweden, who is now in Paris, has arrived at Storkholm.

It is thought that this j.iitrney 1133 reference to some ar-
rangements for the future establishment of this Piinecss,
either here or in the capital of Fiance.

At six o'clock in the morning of the 22d, a fire broke
out in the Rosendal, the King's retreat, situated in the
Royal Park, near Stockholm, about a league (tom the.
city. The rapidity with which the flames extended pre-
vented the possibility of saving the house from total de-
struction, but manse furniture-and works of art were pre-
served. The fire commenced in the chimney, and the
comm unication was the more prompt as the walls had
but little thicket-3s.

Pau. APRIL 13.—Yesterday being the anniversary
of the entrance of his Royal Highness Nlotisieur into
Paris, the National Guard superseded the Bady Guard
of this Prince in their service, and remained on duty
until this morning. At noon, Marshal Ondinot and the
Officers of the 12 Legions of the Parisian Guard pre-
sented to his Royal Highness their congratulations on
that event. The Prince received them with his meal
affability. Amongst other kind expressions his kayal
Highness observed, that he should always feel himself
happy when surrounded by the National Guard, and that
the 12th of Aptil would never fad to excite the most
pleasing recollections, adding ;—" Gentlemen, 1 do not
wear your uniform, but I keep it by me, and will wear
it in the hour of danger; 1 know of none that is more
splendid or more honourable."
His Royal Highness aherwards received the Ministers,
Deputies, Generals, Ike. A repast had been prepared
for the National Guard on duty ; at roar o'clock the
Prince entered the bauquetting hall, which at his pre-
sence resounded with acclamations ; and, asking for a
tea of wioe, said—" Now, my friends, to the health
of the Kiim," which was received with shouts pf Vive
le Hui ! Five Illowitur 1 After an interval of a few mo-
ments, his Royal Highness said—" My friends, to the
health m the thirteen legions; I wish they should know
that l drink to their gloryand happiness." The Prince
shortly afterwards 'retired amidst expressions of general
joy and affection.
The Persian Ambassador passed the evening befor'
last at the house of Madame the Duchess d'Hscars. His
Excellency walked last morning in the garden of the
Tuileries.

An Oitlinance of Police, dated the 3d of April, and
:posted yesterday about Paris, renews the prohibition al-
ready given to the keepers of collie-houses, tat erns,
billiard-rooms, bee. against keeping their respective es-
tablishments open after eleven o'clock at night.
• The following are the only journals now permitted to
enter Spain --The Moniteur, the Gazelle de France, the
Journal de Paris, the Journal des Drixds, and the Quuti-
iienne. The English papers, and those of the Nether-
lands, are strictly forbidden.
'The in%ascinuiriti of M. de Kotzebue will probably he
followed by consequences not-foreseen by the infuriated
wretches who armed the-hand of young Sandt.
M. de Struve, the Russian Minister at the Court of
the Grand Duchy of Baden, proceeded to Manheirn on
the 2d inst., personally to collect all the details of this
deplorable event, and at the sante time to cause to be de-
livered to him all the papers that might be found in the
portefeuille of M. de Kotzebue, in his quality of private
correspondent to the Emperor Alexander.
Notwithstanding the obstinate denials of Sandt, it
appears more and more established that he had accom-
plices. Au innkeeper of Weimberg has deposed, that
I when Sandt loslged at his house, he was accompanied
Iby another ;ining man. Other persons have given evi-
-1 deuce to the same effect ; lint the unknown disappeared
I at the town-gate of Ivlanheim, leaving to his fanatic
1 comrade all the perils of the blow fate had consigned to
his exectitirtsi.
Oar private correspondent from Italy, observes the
Journal des !),bats, does not speak of ow arrest, and
affords no new motive far believing the reality of a con-
spiracy against his 310jesty the Emperor of Austria.
The Journals of Florence, Genoa, and Milan, do not
notice any disquieting circumstances.

The physicians hate declared that it was impossible he

above a few <lays.
The indispensable necessity of procuring more mate-

The account in Consols closed on Thursday, but
the differences were not finally adjusted till Friday,
when two defaulters only were declared, and those
to a vemconsiderable amount. The funds expe-
rienced great fluctuation in the course of the day;
and Consols for the May account were at one time
quoted as low as 72k. The reports concerning a
large loan, as an indispensable part of the Ways and
Means, which have been for some time past in eir-
culation,, were, ma Friday renewed with-, increased
confidence, and even became so definite as to fix the
exact sum that Yinisters would require, which was
stated to be 15,000,0001. as a loan, and a funding of
Exchequer bills to the amount of 10,000,0001.
These reports can only at present, it is evident, be
founded in conjecture; they appear,however, to have
