numerous party of friends. The assault, which was the
subject of charge, arose oat of a circumstance that (ac-
etified upon the visit of the King to Drury-lane theatre,
on Wednesday evening last. Mr. Glossop, in the olli-
chil capacity ahove-mentioned, attended hit Majesty to
the theatre, and a man in livery, who was understood
to he his servant, was admitted into the lobby, or avenue
leading to the King's box. as were other servants. Mr.
Winston seeing him there shortly before his Majesty
was about to leave the theatre, aim staked him
" Who are you. Sir I' to which the titan repli d
that he was Mr. Glossop's servant, and upon that Mr.
Winston called out to some of the servants of the them.
tee, " turn this lainpliatuet's boy out." The order was
obeyed, and " Mr. Glossop's servant" was ejected from
the theatre in no very ceremonious manlier. The matter
being communicated to Mr. Glossop, lie took it up as an
intended personal insult, and the following day he went
to the stage door of I)rury-lane theatre, and enquired
what time Mr. Winston usually left it, and was told
at four o'clock. At that time Mr. Glossop took care to
be in attendance at the dour with a horse-whip, and
when Mr. W. made his appearance in the street, be
went up to him, told hint of the insult he had received, .
and demanded an instant apology. This was warmly
refuted by Mr. W. and the deteudant thereupon said.
" Tnen, Sir, I shall give you a sound thrashing," or
words to that effect, and sui tiii a the action to the word,
he commenced an attack with his whip upon the shoul-
ders of Mr. Winston. The latter threw op his stick to
ward off the blows, hat Mr. Glossop knocked it from
his hand, and then putting himself in attitude a k Crib
compelled Mr. W. to a hasty retreat within the stage. -
door. Mr. Glossop then Mounted him, that tie should •
take the same liberty with his person wherever he met
him, and went away. Mr. Winston determined upon
seeking legal redress for this outrage, applied to .Nlr.
Birnie fur a W3ll/1111 to apprehend tbe defendant. The
worthy magistrate conceiving probably that a public in.
sestigation of the affair would be productive of no good
to either party, endeavoured very strenuously to bring
about an amicable arrangement, but be could not sue-
oeed. Mr. Winston Stated the particulars of the assault
upon oath. Mr. Glossop said to the masustrate that the
terns " Lamp-lighter" was intended to apply'.
and the treatinesit altogether that his servant met with.
was meant as a personal Mault to himself. Mr.W• on
had said, that he (Mr. Glossop) was ithe person of all',
others W/111111 he wished to keep not of the theatre.—
Holding air s illation in the royal household that rte did, .
and being in attendance upon his Majesty in the wtiliinit
of his office, it was unposaible that he could brook so •
gross an insult. Mr. Boole said, that a breach of that
peace having been proved, his province was merely to
direct that the defendant should give bail to keep the
peace, and appear at the Mi3lOllS. Mr. Glossop lissine-
di.itely entered into the required sureties and was
discharged.

LONDON, AIONDAY, MAY 21.
IYu•ee o'clock, p.*.

We have just received the Paris papers of Thurs-
day last The following are the most important
ex; racts

VIENNA, 1M *v 6.—The residence of the two
monarchs at Laybach is drawing to a close ; they
arc expected here in the course of the week. The
Emperor Alexander will not remain at Vienna more
than 24 hours, but proceed fin. Petersburgh by the
shortest route. We flatter ourselves with the plea-
sure of seeing the King of Great Britain in the
course of this summer.
Letters from Semlio state, that the Pacha of
Bosnia arrived oo the 22d of April with a corps of
5,000 Turks upon the frontiers of Servia, and that
he had demanded a gensral disarming of the inha-
bitants. It is believed that the Servians will not
submit to those conditions.

CONSTANT/ NOPL lc, APRIL 19.-The Sublime
Porte is not without inquietude. The following
Farman was addressed to the Kiage-Bey, the 31st of
March :—" No person can be ignorant of the events
which have taken piece in the provinces of Vela-

chin and Moldavia. The constant perfidy of the
Greek nation roust excite hope hi God, that order
may not be long delayed. It is, however, essential,
that every Mussulman should begin to conform to
the exigencies of the moment, which require the
abandonment of tbe.conveniences of social life, for
the purpose of returning to a military life, the pri-
mitive state of the nation, and bring himself by
degrees to the manners of our ancestors. It is
equally indispensable .that the Ministers of our

empire, and the clerks in public offices, renounce all
.dissipation, effect a change in their manners, and
begin by procuring arms and horses for the army."
Ou the 29th of March the Reis Effendi addressed
a circular to the Foreign Ministers, stating, that the
Porte, in consequence of the flight of several of its
subjects on board foreign vessels, was compelled to
use the right of searching all ships and vessels pass
ing the straits to the Euxine Sea, or the Egean
See; that it had appointed conunis.ioners to accom-
plish its purpose, and the Ministers were invited
to send commissioners also to Fenaraki and the Dar-
danelles, to assist at these visits, which were nut in-
tended to delay the crews or foreign passengers.
Tvatti, MAY 9.—The day of the arrival of the
King, Charles Felix, is not yet known. He will not
leave Modena until he has had a conference with
the old King of Sardinia, Victor Emanuel.

The King of Naples has forbidden, by a decree,
all diplomatic agents of revolutionary Governments
to enter his Sicilian states. None are to be received
by his Ministers who have not been officially admit-
ted by Foreign Courts.

The Marquis de Salvo was sent in the last days of
the revolution to request the mediation of France,
and propose great modification in the Constitution.
It appears by the proclamation of the Intendant
41' Aguils, that the Carb•nari have endeavoured, but
in Yalu, to proclaim a R.:public in the Abrueses.
Letters from Naples state, that all the English
vessels have quitted the ports of Sicily to cruise on
the coast of Greece.

The following is an extract of a letter received on
Saturday from SAtithigo de Chill, dated the 10th of
January last :
