Extract of a letter from a young gentleman, a
midshipman in his Majesty's ship Tees, to his father
at Ilorrowstonness, Scotland, d..ted Port Louis, Isla
of France, Nov, 5, 1820:—" I was recently ordered
into au open boat belonging to the Hew-kite, tender
to the Tees, which was cruising round the island to
prevent the trek in slaves with Madagascar. The
boat was commanded by the waster, Mr. Gordon;
and we hail been three weeks in her, when on the
28th (Molter, un unfortunate end was put to our
cruise. The II euridla heaving in sight, Mr. Gor-
illa wished to see oficer cononaudin., her, when
it coming to blow harts, and quite dark, our boat
shipped at sea, and down she went. l could swim
a Intl., st id.with great ditliculty reached the reef.
I immediately went to the barracks, mid sent off a
boat to save, if possible toy tintimtunate companions
—but the night being dark, nothings could be seen
of them. Next cunning I went of myself, and
rowed about to sec it' could get the bodies of our
muster and the men, when ut a little distance I. per.
ecived a number of large sharks with something they
had gut; on nearing them, I perceived they were
eating poor Mr. Gordon ; I tired at one who had
him, which let go its hold, and I assisted one of
the men in getting the remains into the beat, when
an immense large :.hark came from under the h.mt,
and seized the remains front us. It sprang so high
out of the water, that we saw almost its whole body.
Mr. Gordon is must steeply lamented by all in the
Tees, and Las left a wife and three children to be-
wail their irreparable loss."

Morris, the leading evidence against Messrs. Hunt,
Johnson, eke. at York, for being present at the Man-

LOIMOII.
MONDAY, APRIL SO.

It ceminly appears as it' there was an intention
on the part of the Holy Alliance to turn their arms
against Spain. (n a Vienna article, in the French
Papers, it is said, " Every thing announces that
our whole army is about to b.: put on the war foot-
ing, and that the Landwchr will be charged with

the interior service. These extraordinary measures
lead to the presumption, that after the occupation
of Piedmont, there will still be another enterprise
fir the re-establislonent of the tranquillity o!'
Eurcne." There can be little diiiiculty in amjectur-
ing wit:lt:is the en tei prise here alluded to. The money
market would seem to have all along anticipated
something of the sort, for the Austrian success-in
Italy have not in the least tended to restore 14
confidence in Austrian paper ; and if the occupation
of Italy were only in twmtemplation, it is not easy
to see how the discredit should still continue. In a
letter from Frankthrt, in the dfigemeinc Zeitung, it
is said, that " there is yet no cona knee in Austrian
paper either in Frei-ahn or in Holland, and the
lots of the 2d Lottery of Rothschild were, on one of
the last redemption slays, oared even under the ne-
gociation price, and the house of Rothschild was
compelled to take back by no means a smaller num-
ber of them to prevent a further depreciation." An
opinion must, we think, prevail among capitalists,
to the circa which we have stated, and, considering
the significant intimations on the subject in the
shape of articles from Laybach, &c. w hieh are allowed
to appear at Vienna, where the Press 13 altogether
in the hands of the Government, there seems to be
much reason for entertaining it.

The vigorous measures of defence which tic
Cortes have determined oa, and the good sense of
the Monarch of France, %t ill, it is Loped, disconcert
the plans of the lloyel Conspirators, It is very ge-
nerally believed that tl French eltoether
flisappreves of the idea of allowing a passage through
France to a Russian army; anebthat the Ultras
who confidently expected the presence of the Ilus-
shuts, and who were unable to contra their joy on
that account, are quite enraged finding them-
selves tlisuppointed. It• the Kim.; consult either the
feelings of his people, or his own he will
keep out the Russians.

Easter Tuesday is the day axed upon by Act of
Parliament for the election of Churchwardens gene-
rally, and we rejoice to find that
.tbroughout the
country the people have visited with the punish-
ment of rejection those who, during the past ye:a.,
have repea;edly derided the declared wish of those
by whom they were elected. The Queen's business*
has been the cause of many Churchwardens being
turned out, and we hope their successors, taking
warning by their disgrace, will chew dcl'erenea-to
the desire of :he parishioners, from whose good opi-
nion they have been elevated tollie situations they
respectively hold. If similar punishments were
iniiicted in elections for Members of Parliament, u
more desirable reform would be eiKeted than the
House of Commons can achieve, without being
guilty
of Fero-do-se..
•

In a Bill in the Nouse of Commons to explain
and amend the Acts relating to Stamp Duties, it is
intendeti to introduce provisions respecting the Le-
gacy Tax, svhich will bear the specious title of a
regulation, but it will a,zgravate the severity of that
cruel statute, by which all the personal property of.l
the kingdom must pass through the hands of Go-
vernment every twenty.ave years. If is proposed
that the. duty shall attach on all property assigned
over, transferred, presented, or given away (luring-
life time, as well as when regularly b:queethed by
the List will anti testament. This new Act is found-
ed, it seems, on the• practice which has prevailed, of
evading the. ditty by assignments to trustees of pro-
petty, and by presents during life.—Some of the
most devoted tools of Ministers, in the highest ranks
of society, and who were the most steady and keen
in supporting all the tuxes laid on the people, have
i.een also the most successful in evading this tax,
and of securing their heirs from its operation. Now,
the ingenuity of Conveyancers has been exerted to
frame a Bill that should put a stop to this for the
future—so that nu regard shall be paid by the law
to the erections of parent—to the love of kindred—
to the gratitude of friendship—and in no way shall
a person who has toiled, a•nl secured a sum to give
his relatives subsistence, be at liberty even to de-
prive himself of comforts, by shariog what !ie pos-
sesses with those who arc dearest to him, without a
part of it being seized by the State. It will be tl.e
source, if persisted in, of most grievous litigation—
for no bill of the kind can be drawn so as to meet all
the sUbteifigessif legal ingenuity; and what an in-
quisition it most open, if every transfer of stock is to
be sided, to ascertain that an adequate coasident-
lion has been given for the: 1111 l amt.—The following
is an übstract of the bill we allude to:—

" Any deed or ins 'repent. whether voluntary or rattritons, or
itp,n any good or valoable ronsidteatiob (other tlwn Pitlb,lfide
pixoniary consideration) whereby any hums of money, whether
linuted or unlimitted in romanit, and whether tberrlitre charged
or cliar,..tstble. in by such Oe,sl ur instiuntent made, de 116011,
diargtal or chargeable on any lands, tenementr, or lacretlita-
mons. or heritable subjects or upon any Oa:leis real or pcmonal,
or not so chargeable ; and it' so cliarged or c:;:tr,,-..31,1e, w :led/
to be raised at all emits or not ;or whereby any share or shave:
(whether linii tit or unlimited in amount) in any W. the govern-
ment or pailiamentary stocks or funds. on i the stocks un,l funds
of thel;aver.ior and Coati, •ity of :be Bank of England, or of the
East India Company, or of the South Sea Company; or whets. by
any liato,i,y or annuities, rent ehar,,es, or of •er annual pay:tient
or payments, or any part or share thereof, shall be scaled, or
agn..ed to he settled, upon or for the hearth of any person or per-
sons, tither in possession or recession, either abAilutely, or con •
clitioaally, or contingently, of fir life, or taller Frtial interest, or
in any manner uniasueser, or made liable to any trust or pur-
pose witatteever. (The scale of duties is here nonexed, varying
Iron 11. 13s. if the amount exceeds 1,0001. and falls short ct
V.(tra to 131. if exec...sling teo.otiol.) This clon:c is tiaintled
uls it tile practice which has prevailed of evaahmt the duty, by
.4w,i.;noient4 of property to trustees, and by presems (luting lite.
as well to when reLolarly bequeathed by last will arta testament."
