contend with a rebellious subject in the person of the
Paella of Baglud, who having been formerly deposed
by a tirman from Constantinople, refused to resign his
power, and to acknowledge his successor. The Otto-
man troops had in consequence surrounded the town, •
against which a vigrous siege was carrying on. The
rebellious Pasha had numerous partizans.
Advises from Hamburgh of the 26th ult. affirm,
that a conspiracy has been detected for destroying the
Crown Prince of Sweeden ; but the manner is various-
ly stated. In addition to the accounts in the Ham-
burgh papers, the private letters from Sweden contain
several particulars. According to these, six assassins
had been hired, and introduced secretly into the Palace
to murder the Prince : but a timely dimovery of cis
atrocious purpose happily prevented its accomplishment.
The imminent danger to which the Crown Prince had
been exposed having generally transpired, the people
surrounded the Palace, Ana insisted on seeing m.o.—
On presenting himself at a balcony, he was loudly
cheered and satisfaction and good order were restored
immediately. Another version of the affair had reach-
ed Hamburgh, according to which the life of the Crown
Prince was threatened by a mob who surrounded the
King's palace with the avowed object of putting him
to death, but having addressed them from the balcony,
offering to put his liti; at their disposal if they consider-
ed it an advantage to Sweden, he was greeted with
repeated acclamations. The son of Gustavus, who was
set aside to make room for Bernadotte, is living at the
Court of Wurtemburg, the King being his cousin ; he
is an accomplished young man, about twenty, educated
in the Protestant religion. He is besides nephew to
the Emperor Alexander, and it is understood on the
Continent, that his claims to the Crown of Sweden
are fully recognized by his august uncle. Another
mail, which arrived on Friday night, confirms the in-
finanation, that a murderous attempt had been made
upon the Person of the Prins;. Royal of Sweden, and
has brought with it two documents of a very interesting
nature. The first is the speech of the Prince to the
Army : the second that to a deputation of the Citizens
of Stockholm. His Royal Highness tells the citizens,
that by an act of the nation, the late Royal Family
was excluded from the throne: and we believe it will
be admitted by the most impartial men, that between,
the total ruin of the country and the dethronement of
an infatuated and imbecile Monarch, there was no pos-
sible alternative. Bernadotte states farther, as a well
known truth, that he was not eecessary to the fall of
Gustavus. He says, that "he did not open a way to
the Swecdish Crown by arms. The free choice of the
nation called me: and this is the right on which 1 lean."
He thed goes to contrast the miserable situation of the
kingdom when he came among them, bringing as his
"title and pledge, his sword and his deeds, ' with that
in which it stands at present.
Letters from the North of Germany give details of the
combination of the great families in Sweden against the
Crown Prince Bernadotte, who, however, is firmly sup-
ported by Russia.
We have to report the improvement in the Funds.—

It was finely said by a philosopher, on viewing some
superb traces of architectural grandeur left behind them
by the Romans in a conquered country, " Surely these
p ,ogle deserved to be masters of the world !" How

much more delighted would he have been in contem-
plating the moral and intellectual blessings which Great
Britain, with all her faults, real or imputed, has been
the means of conferring upon mankind, wherever the
spirit of adventure has carried her sons !

KING'S HEALTll.—Saturdny the quarterly meeting
of the Queen's Council was held at Windsor, at which
the following bulletin was agreed upon anti exhibited

je'ty has been extremely quiet during the last month, and his Ma-
jesty's health continues to be very good, but his Majesty's disorder
is unabated."

The Lord Mayor has gained his cause at the Laun-
ceston Assizes, to the great satisf.ction of the mining
interest. The Attorney General went down special
on his behalf. The action regarded the right of pos-
se:sion of some copper mines, and the decision esta-
blishes that the instruments under which the Mines
are held, are merely Licences, recoverable on the non-
performunce of the conditions. The cause, it is ex-
pected, will be re-argued in the Court of King's Bench.
By accounts received from Leicester, we learn that
eight of the Luddites, tried at that town, have been
capitally convicted and received sentence of death. A
ninth (John Slater) has been convicted under the Frame-
breaking Act, and sentenced to transportation Ihr lia.
The tenth was seized with convulsion fits during his
t ial, and being reported by a medical person to be in-
caixtble of attending to his defence, was remanded to
prison._

SUPPRESSION OF lILAsPIIEMOUi AND SEDITIOI'S

PUBLICATIONS.

Government have at last adopted a measure, which
will at once put an end to the noxious publications
that have too long been permitted to poison the hearts
of the steak and the thoughtless. From the following
circular we anticipate the most salutary consequences.

(COPIC)--eircsilar.—Whitchull, March 27, 1817.

Mr Lonn,—As it is of the greatest importance to prevent,
as leer as possible, the circulation of Blasphemous and Sedi-
tious Pamphlets, and W rdings. of %%Men, for a considerable
time past, great numbers base been sold and distributed
throughout the country; I have thought it my duty to con-
sult the Law Wheels of the Crown, %%nether an individual
found selling, or in any 5% ay publishing such Pamphlets or
WI Mims, might be brought immediately before a Justice of
the Peace, limier a warrant issued for the pal pose, to answer
for his condoet. The Law Officers having areortlimtly taken
this matter into their consideration bave notified to me 04.4
opinion, That a Justice of the Peace may issue a warrant to
apprehend a person eh be fore him upon oath. with the
publication of Libels of the nature in question, and compel
hint tee give' bail to answer the charge. Under these
eireum-
%tanees, I beg helve to call your Lordship's attention, very
particularly to this subject ; and I have to request, that if
rein Lordship should not propose to attend in person at the
nest tienural Oaai for Sessions or the Peace. to be holden is
and for the county molter your charts, you
would
make known to the Chaie mem or such Sessions the substance
of this emeinumiration, en order that lie may rev() iiiiii cod to
the sever el Magistrates, to net thereupon in all cases where
any person should be found offending against the lass in the
manure above-mentioned. I beg leave to add, that nelsons
eroding Pamphlets or other Poiblication4, in the niae.eiter al-
melee' tee, should be considered as cominez lender the provi-
sions of the Hawker's and Pedlars Act, and be dealt es ith
..ccurtheigly, baless they ,hew that they are furnished with a
License, as required by the said Act.

NEELY. AND JONES. DEFENDANTS.
A Writ of Inquiry was, held this ai tel noon, at the Castle of
Exeter, before R. Dirties, Esq. Uuder Sheriff eur Devon, and
a Special Jury, to ascertain the damages in an action brougiit
by the plaintiff azabist the defendants (who arc the pub•
halters of the Anti-Ja:aria Rcriew), for a libel, whieh up.
peared in that work in September last; the libel was con-
tallied in a poetical effusion relating to the late contested
election for Devon, in which the plaintiff was charged with
having promised his vote for E. P. Bastard, Fig. and after-
wards voted for Lord Ebrington. Mr. Gifford explained
the case on the part of the plainiitf, anti was replied to by
Mr. Casbeiii, on the part of the defendants. The Jury re-
turned damages fur the plaintiff, 1001. and costs.—grrtec

An action for Cairn. Con. was brought at these Assizes—
Lawn, Esq. r. It.satichamp, Clerk—in wkich the plaintiff is
an officer in the army, ths defendant the younger sou of an
lion. Baronet in Nolnlk, and lately admitted to Holy Orders.
The criminal iaterconr-e was ailedged to have taken place
two years ago, and three wituessis, two of them servants in
the family, depowd to seeing Mr. Beauchamp and Mrs.
Laton together, uader circumstances sufficient to create
strong suspicion. The defence set up was, that the plaintiff
had been laying traps for his own dislion.mr in the person of
his wife-014i he bad once sel.-eted us the instrument of his
dishonourable views, Lieutenant Dowling, an officer in the
army, and that both in language and conduct he had incited
ha w,re to prostitution. Lieutenant Dowling, on his exa-
mination, stated, that Mrs. Litton having, in his presence,
reproached her husband for associating with a profligate
Wo:11:111 named Dodson, the plaintiff Laton said —" D you,
yon b —II, what business have you to intei fere with me, I
have been giviog you your swing for five years, in the hopes
of your mining away with some man of fortune; but d
you, you arc too cunning for it—should you do it, I'll drink
yoi:r health in a hamper," at the same time tilling his glass
and that of the witness. On another 017C3Sit,11 the plaintiff
also said, at the officers' mess, at Yarnimth, speaking of his
wife, " I wish to Clod she would run away with some man of
fat-Vine. I would recover MOW. damages, and would keen
fiur of the best houses in Norfolk." The Jury found a ver-
dict for &feud:mt.

At the Cornwall Lent Assizes, a young man named Robert
Saul Donnell, a surgeon and apothecary of the town of Fal-
mouth, was charged with the murder of his mother in law,
Mrs. Efizabeth Downing, on the Sd of November last, by ad
ministering a rwnie in a cup of cocoa, upon bread and butter,

in some other undiscovered manner. The medical men
who had examined the body of the deceased, differed in

EXECUTION OF THE TWO GRkERS FOR THE MURDER
OF THEIR FATHER.
These unfortunate young men, immediately after their sen-
tence, were conveyed, under a guard, to the New Prison, at
Carrickfergus; they walk -el from the Court House to the
gaol with a firm step, but appeared much dejected, and did
not make any observations. They were lodged in separate
cells, and on being asked if they wished for any clergyman to
attend them, they answered, " Yes," but not any particular '
one; any WIC who would afford consolation being acceptable.
The Rev. J. Brown, who kali humanely attended on the or_
cation, im asediately visited them. and remained a consider-
aide Ii:1112, and afterwards attended them. They were also
visited by 'he Rev. R. Dofilm, the Rev. Mr. Smith, and the
Rev. J. Savage c—these gentlemen were successful in their
endeavours to arouse them to a sense of their situation, hid
could not prevail on them to acknowledge their guilt ; both
protesting their inuoctmee, and stating, as their opinion, that
it was only necessary to acknowledge guilt to God, aed not
to man. In the course of Tuesday, however, R. Greer admit-
ted, that lie saw the corpse of his father in the waste-house,
which did out surprise him, as lie knew his father was " to he
put out of the way;" he also admitted, that the letter foniel
by Dr. Stuart in (lie prison was written by him. J. Greer
would not admit any thing. They both slept during the
night, and ate apparently with an appetite. J. Greer em-
ployed part of his time in writing.
On Wednesday, about 12 o'clock, the High Sheriff, at-
tended by a party of the Royal Scots, went to the prison, mid
the criminals Ave re brought out soon atter. Tiny were placed
in the rear of the cart, in which were their coffins, awl at-
tended by the elergymen ; the executioner, disguised, imme-
diately behind them. The procession then slowly proceeded
to the place of execetion, one mile from the town ; on its ar-
rival the criminals joined in sioging a hymn, and afterwards
knelt down with the clergymen and otheis, and prayed fer-
vently, with an audible voice ; at this time R. Greer was ob-
served to be much agitated, and trembled violently; J. Greer
continued to evince his 'lsnot firmness. Prayers being ended,
and lb fatal preparations rampleted, the wretched brothels
shook hands, and bid farewell. John first mounted the cart,
and being tied up, whilst Robert remained below, asked, " Is
my brother to be thrown off with me?" which was answered
in the affirmative. Robert was then tied up beside his bro-
ther ; they were both again solemnly exhorted to declare their
unfit—John said, '' I forgive my parsecutoN, prosecutors, and
all my enemies, and I do hope God will forgive them ;is I do."
Robert prayed aloud to the Almighty to enable him, in these
his last monitor s, to ten the truth, and then, aildr.sang
him-
self to those admit him, said, " I sin o guilty sinner, and suitor
justly aid lawfully ;" then, ttwiliug to It a tiroller, sad,
" John, will you not confess?" To this appeal J0!1711 111,1111: no
reply, when a person present said, " John, io !scar what
your le otte!r Robert says?' To which he replied, " I ha e
Flume;' inemiog, that he^ would net again speak. The cart
was now drawn away, and they were (mulched into eternity.
1:or ert appeared to setter little, but John was long convulsed.
After hanging the esual tans, their b dies were cut down,
put into shells, and sent off to the iirtirmary at Lisburn, for
disst ction, pursuant io their select-A.. It is almost unneces•
nary to ou the fate of these unfurtimatea ; the hor-
rible el Om of parricide, for whali they suffered, bung,
now, mikaowil in this country.
Besides the above pat tienlars, furnished by a respectable
correspondent, we hate been mforinecl, that when Joint km It
down to prayer, be expressed himself in language estremel
appropriate, pathetic, and even elegant. Ili. demeanour was
COECeted, and his enunciation distinct. Rimert's voice was
tremulous and feeble, and his whole frame greatly agitated.
The persons near to them formed a circle, and also knelt
during prayer. 'fle whole scene was impressive and awfidly
solemn. Thoiigh John refused to make confession of his
guilt, yet he never denied it. All accounts say, that Joint
was an excellent scholar. He was about 3J years of age, and
Robert about 20.

their complaint before Mr. Fielding, at this Office. Mr. F.
expressed the utmost indignantion at the conduct of the
