INQLMST.-...0n Saturday week an intparst was taken at the
Red Lion and Ball, lied Liomstreet,'horn, on the body
of Mrs. Dale, a widow, abont 60 years of age. It was gener-
ally reported that the deceased, although she was possessed
of great property, lead starved h-rself, being of such a miserly
disposition as to debar herself Ole in cessaries of life. Upee

She was firmly of opinion that the deceased died in conse-
quence of her filthiness, as she had not washed her body for
years. Ann Clark stated, that she visited the deceased dar-
ing the time her husband was alive, about eleven years age.
Since 1115 death she visited her twice, but did not stop in the
room above a neiuute or two the first time, fur it was en offen-
sive that she was obliged to roil out to get fresh air. The
last time she visited the deceased was a few days ptior to
her death ; she relieved then to leave medical Aid, or to lee re-
moved. She was satisfied that no improper treatment lead

neglected to clean herself, which caused tumours in her body

LONDON ;

MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1818.

Tsie liberation of the remaining persons confined
ender the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, has this
week excited considerable interest. The conversation
which took place some days ago, between Sir Natba-
riel and the two Evanses, has been made pub-
7ic ; and from the general tone of it we suspect it to
be the production of their pen. There is a low and
Nulgur impudence, in their replies, an indecent coars-
ness in thiir manner uhich they, no doubt, think will
give them consequence with the public. Already
we have seen one effect produced by it, for we fine
those persons, who had readily entered into recognizan-
ces, ucw standing on the floor of the Court of King's
Eviali, and loudly demanding that they should be dis-
charged. Mr. Evans and his energetic scn, would have
done well to rememtvr the character of the individua;
whom they addressed in the conversation alluded to
.Sir Nathaniel Conant, has fulfilled the important du,
itit:s of a Magistrate, for many years with a singlenes•
of mind, an unflinching purity ot'pr:nciple, which hal

Friday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held
at the Foreign °Lice, which was attended by all the
Cabinet Ministers : they sat in deliberation till about
five, when tlle Speech for opening the session of Par-
liament was finally arranged, to be submitted to the
Prince Regent in Council yesterday at the Pavilion at
Brighton. After the breaking up of the Cabinet
Council, Earl Harrowby, as the Lord President of the
Council, gave the annual dinner, or what is called
the Sheriffs' dinner, it being the day when the Sheriffs
are pricked fits the year.
In the Howe of Peers the address will be moved by
. the Earl of Aylesford, and seconded by Lord Seben.—
In the House of Commons it will be moved by the
Hon Colanel Wodehouse, and seconded by Mr. Wind-
ham Quin. No amendment, we hear, is intended to bs
moved by the Opposition.

At a late houryesterday we received a Flanders mail.
From Ghent we are assured, that the intelligence pub-
.idied within these few days of two Frenchmen (Messrs.
Latapie and Ponticoulant), having been executed in the
Brazils fur participating in the insurrection of Per-
nambuco, is absulutoly void of foundation : these per-
sons, it would appear, have not gone to Brasil. Ano-
ther Ghent article, which is of considerable length, re-
peats the old/ere:nit:de about the ruin of the Flemish
manufactures. The King is applauded for his efforts to
protect them ; but the " worm which corrodes the in-
dustryof the Netherlands is in their legislation ;" and if
the legistative bodies know nothing, after a year's ex-
perience of the decay of commerce, they are told very
roundly, that it is because " they have formed a deter-
mination to know nothing." Nay, the writer threatens
some great public convulsion, unless the States of the
kingdom conform to his views; for he says, that when
people abandon their manufactories, they despond—
that discouragement produces idleness, and idleness bad
morals. Now these abztract propositions are true; but
not, we are apprehenoive, very applicable to the state of
the Netherlands. That one or two branches of manu-
facture may have suffered from circumstances over
which the legislature of that country have no control,
it is not difficult to believe : but we are quite incredu-
lous of the broad assertion that the bulk of the commer-
cial and manufacturing interests of the kingdom are
reduced to misery by the mist&:es or the negligence of
its representative ; because those representatives are too
freely chosen, too intimately connected with the wel-
fare of their constituents, and too absolutely dependent
on their favour, to suppose it possible that they would
legislate upon any other principles than those which
aimed at the advancement and prosperity of the whole
body by whom they .have been elected. We more than
doubt, therfore, whether the evils described by those
who callithemselves the Chamber of Commerce at Na-
mur, exist at all in the degree complained of; or
whether existing to that degree, they are susceptible
.of an immediate remedy by legislation.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been for some
time past new modelling the mode of contracting for
the supply of paper, parchment, printing, book-binding,
ruling, and all other articles of stationary required for
.he public service, not only in this cottony, but also in
Ireland. He hes.at length perfected his
.plans for the
London supply, end contracts have l±en made at re-
luced prices, varying from l7i to 45 per cent. ; and
here is no doubt but similar advantages will arise to
he public from his exertions in Ireland.

The Paris joutnals of the 19th, are occupied with
:trther particulars of the interminable affair of Al.
ualdes. The prepsratives for the trial are as cumber-
mne as these for a general congress. Witnesses have
oultiplied ad ; and each new witness lcaas to
he arrest of some person as an accessory never impli-
tted before. The last individual seized and examined

• M. Constans, a former Commissary of Police, and he
-;•ady the object of some 4.7av0 and important
chn g . In the mean time, the mysteries or mystifi-
'cations Madame Manson appear to thicken as the
cata,,,,,Ale draws near. Whether moved by shame,
by quance, or affectation, she raves of every thing,
c anmunicates nothing. She seems alternately un-
the guidance of vehement impulses and weak
es. She perplexes the Magistrates—bullies the
Parties--laughs at danger—and coquettes with
. rice. But, perhaps, a very common female secret is
. spring that puts.ia motioa these ingenious and end-
-en quackeries.

JA'. WI

The Ame:ican papers cf the 20:h ult. contain some
intelligence rather interesting on both sides of the At.
lantic. The prize shins made by eruizers of Amelia
Island, and ordered into :hat port tbr condemnation, arc,
afterwards, on toncl:iaj at 'St. Marv's, seized with their
cargoes by the ollicers cf tke United States, and secured
as public property. This is an act of positive ownership,
exercised alivadv by the stronger Republic upon the
weaker one. General Floyd, commanding in Camden
country, has ordered out 500 men from the districts
contigious to St. Mary's; and to be placed ostensibly
wider the orders of General Gaines. Whether the In.
dian war, or the seizure of East Florida, is to find em-
ployment for the above force, we are not distinctly in-
formed. Against the possession of East Florida by the
United States, in whatever way they may maintain it,
a protest is said, with some show of authenticity, to
have been delivered by our Minister, Mr. Begot.—
The American Editor uses the following language upon
this, which may be considered an important national
question :—"We give the above as received—but can-
not think it will eventually appear that she British Go-
vernment has so far presumed to interfere in our con•
cerns." This Baltimore journalist would perhaps le
improved by some elementary lessens on the difference
between the proootins possessive mew,: and muss,. East
Florida may be regarded as the absolute key of many of
the British West India islands. We wish to avoid all
needless irritation ; or really this talk about "our
concerns" is enough to stagger the placidity of John
Bull. The following is the passage respecting Mr. Begot,
to which we have alluded :

" WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.--It is mentioned here with apparent
authenticity, that the British Minister, Mr. Begot. has. by commar.d
of his Coverament, entered a protest against our coming iatn posses-
sion of tke by purchase or otherwise. I state what I hear.
rot what I know.: such interference can hardly be expected.
The Private Secretary of the President, as I presume you well
know, is asounger brother to him, not nephew, as has been stated.
The Secretary is a gentleman of pleasing address, and every way
fitted fee the station.

" We give the above as received (adds the Editor), but cannot think
it will eventually appear that the British Govcrument have so far
presumed to interfere in our concerns."

We give the following article from Stutgard, with
the most heartfelt satisfaction; at the same time we may
rejoice in the justice which has been dealt to wretches,
whose villainies excite our abhorrence, we cannot but
regret that our neighbours have been before hand with
us ; for we have seen the same crime perpetrated
amongst ourselves, and, we blush to add, almost with
impunity.

Irg STUTGARD3 DF.C. 31.—Two citizens of Amsterdam,
Richard Rodolphe, commissary, aged 25, and Jean
Jacques Hurtsink, aged 40. clerk of the tribunal of the
Justice of Peace, having been convicted on a legal ex-
amination of having deceived and seduced emigrant;
have been condemned by the tribunal of this city to
five years imprisonment, and to a fine of 1,400 florins
each, and payment of the costs. They are declared to
have forfeited the civil and family rights mentioned in
the 42nd article of the Penal Code. liodolphe, with.
out having the necessary means of conveying the emi-
grants to America, had printed and distributed cards, in
which he falsely gave out that he was authorized by
the police to make this undertaking. He agreed with
those who presented themselves, for the expenses of the
passage, and it was settled that the money should be
deposited with J. J. Hartsink, not to be paid out of his
hands till they should have arrived in America.

Hartsink, who had first gone to Cologne, to give the
emigrants confidence, took the money, for which he
gave a receipt, and abused, fur this purpose, his quality
of clerk.

Notwithstanding the assurance which he had given
the emigrants, that their funds should not be disposed
of till after the voyage should be completed, he had de-
livered considerable sums to Rodolphe for the purchase
of the Vessel, provisions, and other expellees of the voy-
age, and kept 2,000 florins for himself; as a recompense
agreed upon with Rodoiphe. Besides the vessel being
neither equipped nor provisioned, the ernignints have
been obliged to exchange their receipts for contracts,
which the two rogues bad adroitly concerted, to make
it impossible for the credulous voyigers to recover
their money."

Tua AIBIY.—It is now reported that Sir Chules
Colville will be the new Governor of Halifax; and
Sir Lowry Cole of Ceylon. It is a fact not generally
known, that the Earl of Hopeton (Lord Niddrev), is
the only one of the last created peers who declines re-
ceiving any pension. It was at first said that Lord
Combermere had declined., which was a mistake; he
receives the 11,0001. per annum same .as Lords Bests-
tad and Hill.

SIR WATKIN LEWES v. MORGAN.--OR Friday in the
sourt of Exchequer, Mr. Blake obtained a rule to spew
cause why Mr. Morgan and Mr. H Lewes, should not
be committed for contempt of Court, the one ibr laving
received rents after the peremptory order of the Court
had been made, that they should be paid into Court,
and the other for having paid the same.
Lord Viscount Keith and tiro Earl of Kgrement, ar-
riv.ed.at .Portsmouth, on Tuesday, to attend the meeting
of the Committee of Management.of the Portsmouth
Arundel Canal, for the purpose of considering the best
mode of proceeding in the work, which will positivay
commence the fist week in March.
