The commeucement of the conspiracy was as follows:-0o

of the name of Justus Touts, who bad acted as grave-digger
under his father, who was the sexton, bappeniug to atay in

and distinctly heard their comarvatino, which tins of pith
a nature, that he told it to bin brother the next moraine,
who committed it to w t • • g; and which was nothing less
than a plan to postpone the payment of Mr. Hollis for a
year and a half, and fur Hass kilo to join Bingham in the
occupation and management of a small farm at Speedield,
by which Bingham insinuated that they were to clear 1000 t.
per annum between them. Whilst this preparation was
making at (import, soil the Monday or the Tuesday following,

and, finally, settle Bingham's latrines, and discharge

the man who was holding possession smiler the bill abde),
as he expected lie would nut quit without his (Mr. Warl-
ter's) order." Mr. 'rhos. Washers, confiding in this repro
natation, inomediaiely wrote Lewis a short note, saying-, .

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 13.
Three o'Clock, P. M.

We have received French papers of the 15th inst.
The following are extracts :
Patois, Aram 15.—The day before yesterday, after
masa, whielethe King heard in his apartments, his Majesty
received the Persian Ambassador, His Excellency came
to take leave of the King. He will depart on Satnrday or
Sunday fur London. His Excellency will occupy a spied
did home in Charleestreet, Berkeley-square, where every
thing is prepared for his reception.
His Excellency the Count dr Gazes has for some days
experienced an indisposition so severe as to prevent him
.from transacting business with the King.
The Gazette de France contains a letter from the Se-
cretary of the Persian Ambassador, complaining of the
indecent levity with which his private concerns are
brought before the public curiosity. His Excellency
seems to be particularly displeased with a ventriloquist,
of the name of Comte, who published in the journals a re-
cital of the wonders he enacted before the Ambassador,
and the astonishment displayed by his Excellency. The
Secretary, hot , asserts that the ventriloquist
lenity forced himself into his presence, and that his ven-
triloquial sounds excited no other feeling than disgust.
Malmo, APRIL 2.—lt is asserted, that the choice of
the King has fallen upon a Princess of Bavaria, who is
one of the twins born on the Wit November, 1801. The
return to this capital or a grandee of Spain, sent by the
Xing into Germany, and who has 'rimmed, en diligence,
Boas the Court of Munich, appears to authenticate what
we bare above stated.

The empeslitiois tinder the orders of °Donnel is coos,
posed of 20,000 men, who, its the interval of sailing, ate
encamped in the environs of Cadiz. The naval forces are
under the -command of Vice Admiral Morillo. The latter

i..tlosr I prima who are regarded as secret 'gems of Russia,
hoot received aniniymoso letters, in which they are called
adore to change their system and conduct, and not to render
ammelves guilty of what the writers of the letters call
t!eason ; otherwise (say the writers; they
tr.",t attribute to therriselv,* the mrlauchely crews of which

o'clock it set out from the h. ad quarters of the corps

it was joined by the Lord Mayor and suite, attended
by the Sheritks, who proceeded with the funeral
down Chancery-lane to Temple-bar, and then re-
turned to the Mansion-house. Nearly 50 carriages
of the Nobility and Gentry who were acquainted
with the deceased, closed the processien. On the
arrival of the body at the Cathedral, it was met at
the principal entrance by the Dean, Clergy, &c.
and the Gentlemen Volunteers then formed three
deep on each side. Between these ranks the body
was born to the choir, and, after the burial service
was performed, it was interred with great solemnity
in the vault which had been prepared for its recep-
tion. The whole of this solemn ceremony did not
Iconclude until after i o'clock. The trumpets of the
corps and muffled drum occasionally sounded the
Dead March.

Mr. Thornton was speculating and waiting the receipt of . large
sum of money necessary to pay for the tallow.
The Jury, under all the orcumstances, found a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages 131/.
