him. They both consulted the same professional gentleman, bs
whose advice a letter was sent addressed as ordered, and the post-
master of that town was directed to watch and apprehend the
•o•rson who should call for it. The lady in question came, aunt
was dogged to a shop in the town, but before iu•r apprehension
she had by some means got quit of the letter she had just receiv-
ed. Bail has, however, been given for her appearance at the
ensuing Sessions, and the parties are bound to prosecute.

On Saturday week Mary Chandler, convicted of setting fire
to her master's house io Liverpool, was executed at Lancaster.
She was 19 years of age, and so ignorant of religious duties as
to be unable to repeat the Lord's Prayer. As the executioner
eras putting the cap over her face, she exclaimed, " 0 man,
never will forgive you!" and her shrieks were very piercing.

AORTCrI.TERAI, REPORT FOR APRIL

The cold weather has not proved unfavourable to the \\*bratFy

Oats, look generally promising.—Spring seed is loarni evt•rs'i

improved the meadow, and other gra4s lands, which want wily
warm weather to push out plenty of feed ; the young (lovers,

FRENCII EXPEDITION TO INDIA.

Itamburgh Papers to the 13th instant have ar:.• ,!;
and one article, iu a Paper of the 9th, is certainly inf .fest.
u►;, if it be true. It asserts that IioNA PARTE has obtaioed
the consent of the Porte for the passage of French troop
through its territory to Persia, in order to the invasion ►,f
India by land. The intell►gence is contained in these
words :

" VIENNA, MA RC II 30.—The Porte has permitted the march
of French troops through its territory towards Persia. Oo the
Gth and 7th instant t great Divan was holden, in which the
pi ()position of the Emperor of the French, for marching a corps
of troops through the Turkish dominions into Persia, was ilk-
cussed, and filially acceded to by the (iovernment."

The news was brought to Vienna by an extraordinary
Courier.

The experience that wc have had of BoNArARTE'S en-
terprising spirit, shonhl make us slow to assert that any
measure is unlikely to be affected by him, merely because
it appears to be difficult. But the astacles to such a pro-
ject as the invasion of India by land appear to be so strong
and so numerous, that. we are inclined to believe that he h;:s
either contrived this agreement with the Porte, in order to
get a good opportunity of filling Turkey with French
troops, or that the proposal for an invasion of India. like
die proposal for the invasion of Eng!and, is one of those
'magnificent impostures, which he holds out without the
,mallest intention of ever executing them, for the sake of
alarming those among his enemies whose interests might
be affected by the operation, and of keeping alive the at-
tention of his own subjects, by that perpetual promise and
prospect of progression which is so necessary for the restless
spirits of the French soldiers.

REPORT OF THE DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF

ItL''lA.

Accounts have just been received in town from Edin-
burgh, of the h inst. announcing the arrival of his la-
jesty's sloop Snake, from Gottenburgii, with intelligence
that, on the 20:h instant, reports were current at Cotten-
burgh of the death of the Emperor of Hustos, who was
stated to have fallen by the hands of his own subjects.
The accounts indeed from Cottenburgh of the t2'2d and 234. i
instant are silent respecting such an el ent ; but letters
vvere received in town on Friday, which contain some in-
direct allusions to some uncommon transactions in the Rus-
sian capital. One of these letters, front St. Petersburgli,
has this remarkable expression : " Drecufful work is going
on lu.7e;" but perhaps this phrase may apply to commer-
cial difficulties only.
If any belief may be attached. to such a report, it should
seem that favourable results may be expected for England.
We are at a loss to conceive how any • revolution should
have arisen in Russia, and terminated in the slaughter of
ALEXANDER, uu!css it were a revolution against Freuch

the troops atid subaltern officers have shewn themselves worthy
to obey the commanders in whom our Sovereign, with so mach
justice, has placed his confidence. The reports of a great change
in the political plans of Russia, gain ground every day more arid
more. To day, two couriers are said to have arrived; nothint
is published, but the accounts of the Rus,ins leaving Aland,
where bet %seen 6 and 700 men were arrived, having passed be.
tween the islands. This they did in so precipitate a manner, as
not to allow themselves time to bring away the stores which
they had collected from the inhabitants. The Comet de Saint
Priest, who has resided here many years, and was about to lease
this country and return to Russia, in consequence of the war, is
said to have taken the resolution of postponirr his journey, in
the hope of soon receiving intelligence wit;ch may make his
journey unnecessary."

GERMAN Y.

BANNS Ow TTfE MAINE, MARCH the German
Papers we read an article, dated the Sth of March,eontaining the
following information : " The negotiations between the Courts
of France and Austria have been very brisk for some time past,
from whence it is concluded, that affairs of the last importance
are at present under discussion. The Ambassadors of France
and Russia, at Vienna, have frequent conferences with one
another. In the southern parts of It ussia great preparationsare
maLingi; they are fitting out there a great nu►nber of ships of the
line and frigates, and the fleet of Sebastopol, in the Crimea,
will sail as soon as the season permits. It is supposed, that, in
consequence of the interposition of a great power, they will pass
the Dardanelles.. in order to attack the English fleet there, and
probably to unite with the French and Spanish fleets, for the
purpose of executing an important enterprize."
In pursuance of an order issued by the Aulic Council of War,
elevca regiments of Croats and Pandeers are now assemhling to
form a cordon on the Turkish frontiers; this cordon is to consist
of 70,000 men, and to be commanded by Archduke Ferdinand,
brother of the Enipress.

THE KINGDOM OF G trCI A.

" GAILICIANS !—You have bewailed the Inte of y our amiable
Ferdinand—the horror of the perfid:,. by which he vvits seduce,l,
still burns in your bosoms. You fear danger to our holy reli-
gion, you look upon our exterior worship as aonilidated, upon
our altars profaned, and the temples of the eternal and sole Om-
nipotent converted into places of desolation by order of the
Tyrant, who arrogates to himself Ihe title of Arbiter of Desti-
nies, because he has succeeded in oppressing the noble French
Dation. without re:ollecting, that he himself is mortal, and that
be only holds the po:•:er delegated to him for our chastiment.
You turned your eyes towards the Municipal Authorities, and
you even insulted them ; because they did not animate the datne
of your indignation against the enemy. The time is come—
your kingdom has assembled in Corhs, and re-assumed the sove-
reign authority, which under such circumstances devolves upon
it by right, and of which its first exercise is in complying with
your vs ishes so loudly declared; you have already a leader, and
the mist vigorous dispositions are taking—ey therefore to arms!
and let us march to defend the cause of God, the honour of our
country, our lives and our fortunes! Will you be insensible to the
voice of the nation, and will you only be fisand valiant in the
streets of your cities ? Now that twenty thomiand brave Soldiers
have taken up your cause for theirs, will you refuse to unite
with their generous battalions? Will you hesitate to embody
yourselves with these masters of the military art 1 Do you ima-
gine, forsooth, that your courage without discipline can be la.-
ful ? Such ideas avaunt—receive in your arms thes- heroes who
are going to marshal your strength, and only front the common
name of Spaniards, even without being Calicians, feel a deep
interest in your cause. The Kingdom sends them to you. You
should obey their sovereign and legitimate authority. Let dis-
cord fly from us; we are brothers, and are going to sacrifice'
•urselves for the same sacred cause.

lOVSNT-GARDEN.

This Theatre closed for the season, on Monday, the 27th
of June, with the tragedy of Macbeth, and a farce called
The Portrait of Cervantes, which had been once performed for
the benefit of Mr. Munden. Of this farce, altered from the
French, it is unnecessary for us to speak, because another piece,
taken from the same original, and much better managed, made
its appearance at the Haymarket in the course of the last week,
and will presently come under our observation. The part of
Macbeth, which is not perhaps among the most excellent of Mr.
Kemble's performances, was represented by him, on this con-
cluding night, in a mare animated and poetical manner than we
ever saw it performed by him. But an unfortunate lameness,
for which an apology was made, prevented him from dis-
playing his powers to full advantage; if by this lameness the
allusion of the scene was destroyed for the mass of the spec-
tators; however amply the imauties of the performance might
be felt hy a discerning few, who estimate the art as an exhibi-
tion rather of mind than of body, and can tell from what they
see existing, how much more would exist if nature did but per-
mit. Miss Smith, in the absence of Mrs. Siddons from the stage,
played Lady Macbeth, and played it with great applause.
Between the play and the farce, Mr. Kemble delivered a
farewell address, which had, at least, the merit of being short
and unaffected. In this address, he returned the thanks of the
Proprietors and Performers for the past, and promised their
unremitting exertiobs for the future.
On the general management of this Theatre, we spoke so
largely in our last number, that it must be tiresome to our rea-
ders for us now to discuss that matter. Till the next season,
therefore, we reserve the further remarks that we must mak:
upon the government of Mr. Harris, the sovereign of the
theatre, upon the shameful misconduct into which he is so fre-
quently led by his sycophant ministers; and upon that" power
behind the throne," which is " greater than tile throne itaell"."

lin Oct. 11.—A most severe and distressing acei,
dent occurred hetet the night before last. Mr. and Nirs. Ball-
and Miss C. Bellwood, having paid a visit to the fair at Steyn-
ing, in a whisky, had returned from thence between six Mid
seven o'clock in the evening, and were proceeding along the
('till', in the front of the toss n, to their residence on the Marine
Parade. They had just reached the opening by the Gun
w here some boys were imprudently diverting themselves with
letting tilt' rockets, squibs, &c. one of which, we believe by
acrident, exploded very near to the horse. The animal was
so alarmed by this circumstance, that he became tonnanageabl-,
and dashing furiously forward, brought himself in contact
with a brewer's dray. Stunned by the shack, he lust:wily
dropped, the chaise being as suddenly overturned. Dread-
ful to relate, Nli,s Ilenwoocl, a bloomiog youv

MY LORD—I have the ho:voir to inform one Lordship, that
yesterday evening we observed two Turkish men of war and a
~alley coming round the east end of the island of Scopolo, to-
w arils vi hick we immediately made sail. Ott coming near enough
to make out that they were both single-decked ships, detrr-
mined to bring them to action, having every contideuce in the
officers and crew of this ship. The action began at half past
nine, the Turks going a little off the wind under easy sail, and
continually endeavouring to run us on hoard ; indeed 1 early saw
that their chief attention was directed to this object, and as the
largest ship appeared of great force and full of men, 1 kept !his
ship in a position hot to be boarded. At ten o'clock, observing
a good opportunity of more particularly attacking the ynall
ship to advantage, we dropped along side of her, and attcr a
quarter of an hour's hot fire, at half pistol shot distance, her
tire having totally ceased, we left her in a state of the greaiest
distress and confusion, with her sails mostly down, and Jost
before we had left her, she had partially blown up forward.
By this time the large frigate, which, from having fallen a little
to leeward, had not been able to assist her consort, had again
got pretty close up, and the action between us 5000 recommenced,
still so obstinate was the resistance of the Turks, that it was not
till a quarter past One we rendered her a motionless wreck. At

of so much vital importance should not be treated with levity,
but considered seriously and deliberately. The country was
woefully destitute of the tkupecior'talents which ought to rule
the state in its unprecedented cireutnstances. On farmer occa-
cions, Ministers used to drag the people into wild and extrava-
gant projects by every artifice; but the Spanish cause had ex-
cited the national Inditi', unaninwasly, and the people dragged
Ministers to perform their duty. He concluded ith hoping,
that the motions he bad the, honour ofmaking s ould he ac •
celled to unanidtously.
The question was put, and the original motion carried
by a great hi:l66ly.
Mr. Waithman then rose. and said, that the Court ought to
proceed mock further than they had done, and to examine the
foundatioo of the disasters which had lately befallen the coun-
try. lie proposed tq address the Sovereign on the subject of
militarx appointments, mid to pray fiir the speedy assembling of
Parliament, that they might advise on the measures to be taken
In support Of Our Allies. •
Mr. Box, Mr. Dixon, and 'several other Members opposed
the latter propositions of Mr. Waithman, on the ground that
the Court were not apprised of hitv Intention to bring, them for-

Mr. Birch said, that all military. appointments were tbe.pre-
ragative of his Majesty, and that the people had no right to eall
fur a dislivsure;of the tireurastatties which iuducctl the Sovereign
to make them.
Mr. Waithman agreed to withdraw the dam relating to mi-
litary appointment; and a Committee was appointed to draw
up an Address, conformably to his original 'notion.

COUNTY OF ESSEX MEETING.

Friday there was a numerous meeting of Freeholders at
eheltosford, in consequence of a politic notice from the Sheriff,
to consider of an Address to his Majesty ou the lute Convention
to Portage!.
The hall was completely filled at twelve o'clock, which was
the hour appointed for the Meeting.
The High Sheriff read the requisition, in compliance with
which he had convened the County.
The Earl of St. Vincent then came forward end said, that it
bad been assigned td him to state to the Freeholders what were
the grounds and objects of the requisition, and the nature of the
Address which was to be submitted to their consideration. lie
should,in the first instance, both in his own name and in the name
of those who juined with him in the requisition, entirely-disclaim
the idea of casting any censure on the conduct of any particular
Officers. The Officers employed on the Expedition to Portugal
had enjoyed au unblemished reputation before their arrival
in that country, and lie knew that some of them bad previously
acquired a high character. Without, however, considering who
were the individuals on whom the criminality attached in the
present instance, he mast say that he felt that so foul a stain had
never been east on the military character of the country, since
the days of the tyrannical and detestable reign of the family of the
Stuarts. This most isiglor)otts Convention of Cintra had lower-
ed the just pride of England. among the nations of the earth, and
had roused the most unanimous feelings of indignation against its
authors, not only in this country, but in the minds or our allies,
and of all Europe. It was the duty of hisllajesty's subjects
to approach his throne with dutiful and loyal addresses, praying
him to cause a strict and effectual inquiry to be made into the
canoes of that transaction, which had, to use his Majesty's
own words, " disappointed the hopes and cxpections of
the nation."

It certainly was not his ohject, nor the wish of those who joined
him in the requisition, to prejudge any thing, or impute crinii•
nality to any particular individual. if he were allowed to ex-
press himself by a strong but homely proverb, what he wanted
was, " that the'tkaddle should be put upon the right horse." It
appeared to hint that the Ministers themselves were liable to
great suspicion. It had been said, by many officers who were
employed upon the expedition to Portugal, that the preparations
were most wretchedly deficient in many points ; that the army
had not been properly supplied with what the French call
"munitions de :were et bouche," or, as we would call it, amino-
nition and provisions. It was said, that with the great army
which sailed to Portugal, there was not artillery enough cent to
reduce even the few miserable forts about Lisbon. He called
them miserable forts, becan'e he had himself seen them, and
examined their strength. If Ministers had been so very deficient
iii their preparatiow, it became the duty of the people of Eng-
-1 voi to call upou his Majesty for the fullest inquiry into the ;4-

rILMOITTff, OCT. 26.—Arrived this evening, his Majesty's
ketch Glancur, of 16 guns, Com St. Andero, 4 days passage; the
t7aininaoder of which, immediately on landing, set nth for Lon-
don, ia a post-chaise and four. It is since reported, that Bil-
boa has been taken possession of by the Spaniards, after a very
severe action, in which the French are stated to have lost eight
thousand men, and the Spaniards about nine thousand, under
General Blake. The Glaneur was from Lisbon, having on
hoard two Aides-du-Camp of General .lunot, to be landed in
France ; but owing to strong gales of wind, he was obliged to
put into St. Andero ; after which he intended landing them
there; but the Spaniards, so exasperated against the Conven-
tion, actually refused ; so they were put on board his Ma-
je-tv's ship Plantagenet---thv mob at St. Andero would have
murdered them both, had they been landed. Also arrived, his
Majesty's ship L'Aigle and Foxhound brig, from off' Brest ; as
also the Lady Pellew packet, from Corinna, 4 days passage.—
The Expedition under Sir David Baird had arrived safe.
The Prince of Wales packet, sailed 5 days before the Lady
l'ellew, and is not yet arrived. The Princess Elizabeth packet
takes the first mail to Lisbon.

MARLHOROVOTI-STREV.T—A curious examination took place
on Thursday, at this Office, which affiwded high amu'e►nent to
the hearers. A stage-struck hero, of the tribe of Israel, charged
goung Saunders, of the Amphitheatre, in Tottenham-street.Tot-
tenham-court-road, with an assault on his person. It appeared
by the evidence, that the complainant, a professional Geuttentrta
at one of the Private Theatres, had, for a length of time, im-
bibed high notions of his dramatic talents, and obtained a recom-
mendation from the 11:Inver of a Private Corps, as being equal
to either Kemble or Cooke in recitation and acting, and seer
little inferior to Laurent or Grimaldi, as a clown. With this yeeNa-
-1 ility of talent, the hero solicited an engagement with :Mr. Saun-
ders, and after having given him a trial,h is sere ices were rejeeteo.
Intent oncoming oat, he renewed hissolicitations to do any thing
that might he required ; and on Sunday Morning last, at x re-
hearsal, he was mounted on a fiery dragon, and drawn up t.► tile
eielling of the house, where he was kept suspended s4:me time
as St. George. to the amusement of the company. On being
let down again, the defendant beckoned the hero to follow, and
whilst passing over a trap door, he was plunged into the internal
regions, amongst ghosts and hobgoblins. The assault Coll,iste,l
in throwing some• water over the complainant whilst on the dra-
gon, and the defendant found hail.
