" Angels of Veacel whose Ileav'nly whisper cheers
The drooping heart opprest by guiltless woes,
Shed your soft comforts o'er Ceellia's cares,
• And lull the beauteous still'rer to repose.
Let no sad image of distressful day,
Touch the quick feeling of suspended grief:
Nor hopes that vanish at the morning ray,
Delude bar sorrows by a false relief.
Ye delegated Guardiansof the Good
While the calm hours of vacant slumber last,
Condud her fancy to the blest abode,
%Vhere virtue smiles on every trial past.
' When waking lite its scene of care renews, •
The radiant vision on her mind shall glow,
Inspirit every duty's gf-n'rous views,
And softeti every toilsome task below.'

rauunt DAY."--SATURDAY, SEPT., 17.

A man of the name of Powell was tried for 'em-
bezzling 31. 6s. the property of Sir Charles Price
and Co. by whom he was employed as warehouse-
man. He had received the money for -a hundred
weight of glue, and had not accoonte4 for it.—
Messrs. KNAPP. and SII:TH were Counsel' tor the
prisoner,. It appeared in evidence that at the titve
be was first charged he had cotitessed the embezzle-
ment. The Jury found him Guilty.

ing a black silk cloak, value SS. the goods of Godfrey
Icier and Andrew Barnett, privately, in.thcjr-shop.

CLERKENWELL SEssIoN.•-b-Saturday a hoary mis-
creant, a German, was tried for an intent to commit
an assault on the person of a child of eight years of
age. li)e fan was clearly made out, and it appear-
ed the prisoner bad made a similar attempt on the
Vosecutrix's sister. The enormity of the offence
was aggravated by this circumstance, that the prison-
er ►tad been proteoed by the father of the children,
in consequence of•bis being a stranger and foreigner.
The Jury found him guiliy, and he was sentenced to
eighteen months imprisonment in Cold Bath Fields
prison.

A small house in Webbee-stre.et, SCGeorge's
Fields, yesterday morning fell down. The woman
who occupied it had been warned of the danger of
its falling, six weeks before, by the landlord, but
she persisted in remaining in it. Luekily.she was
• from home when *the accident happened, and the
only inconvenience she experienced, was having to
dig her furniture and apparel out of the ruins.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—...A most melancholy
accident happened on-Friday, in the river,, Off Ful-
ham. A young couple, on the point of marriage
took a sail in a funny, which unfortunately upset,
and the two lovers, we regret to state, were drown-
ed, The body of the young woman, who was the
daughter of a boat-builder at Fulham, was found.on
Saturday, but that of her companion has been drag-
ged for in vain. A dog which belonged to the fa-
ther of tilt young wornaw was in the boat, and
swam on shore., The animal no sooner reached his
master's house than, by his gestures and howls, he
attraded some of the family to the Bishop's stains,
off which the fatal accident happened, and where
they beheld the boat in which the lovers had ern-
, barked, with its bottom upwards. The young man
was the son of an innkeeper at Fulham ; his age
was 25, his mistress was only 17.
We are sorry to learn, that on Friday, as Jolts
Davalr, Esq. banker, of Birchin-lane, was. driving
iris curricle on Finchley Common, with Mrs. Drury,
the horses took fright, and overturned the carriage,
acrd Mr. Drury was killed on the spot. Mrs. Drury
escaped unhurt.
On Friday se'nnight Charles Francois Marie Boat,
thew, a French Officer, prisoner of war -in this coun-
try, was conveyed from the county gaol at Hunting-
don; toYasley Barracks, where he-was hanged., agree-
ably to his sentenee at the last Ass4es,,for stabbing
with a knife, with intent to kill, AlAander Halliday,
in order to die& his escape from that prison. The
whole garrison was under arm.. on the occasion, and
all the prisoners in the different compartments were
made witnesses of the impressive scene.

SEQUEL OF THE DIPLOMATIC PIECES

RELATIVE TO

THE AFFAIRS ROME.

LETTER FROM THE POPES SECRETARY OF STATE To

THE CARDINALS RESIDENT AT ROME.

Quirinal Palace, March 5, OA.
His Holiness having been informed, that General
MIOLLIS has invited to an entertainment -all, or
nearly all, the Members of the Sacred College, has
ordered me to signify. to.your Eminence, that in the
state of tribulation in which the Holy See is placed,
he cannot believe that any individual of the College
will accept such an invitation, or will be present at
any .such assembly or converzatione, for the purp9se
of making known that the Sacred College also-parti-
cipates in the just afflietion of his Holiness.
In giving an answer, it would be well if the Sa-
cred College would assign as the motive, of, their re-
fuSal, in general terms, the situation in which the
Holy Father is placed.
(Signed)

G. CARDINAL DODIA PAUFILI.
Quirinal. Palace, March 30, 1808.

(CIRCULAR TO THE CARDINALS.)
The present circumstances giving too much reason
to believe that the French military force will assume
the reins of the Papal Government, His Holiness,
knowing your honourable sentiments, is well aware
that he need not exhort you to fidelity and con-
stancy. He has thought proper, however, to request
all those who .occupy the first stations, that, should
they be invited to continue their funaions in the
name. of whoever may take possession of the Papal
States, they give a decided refusal, and do no a& but
in the name of hiS Holiness.

(Signed)

G. CARDINAL GABRIELLI.

We priblish,the following Letter, which is cir-
culated at Rome,-without vouching for its authenti-
city—(Note of the Italian Editor.)

TO OUR DEAR SON, NAPOLEON, EBIPEROR OF THE

FRENCH.

Since the time when, by the decree of Providence,
notwithstanding our unworthiness, we were invested
With the Sovereign Pontificate, you have been a wit-
ness of our wishes for the peace of the Catholic
Church ; you have been a witness of our wishes for
the spiritual peace of the Frenar people, and of our
paternal condescension ; you have been a witness of
the benefits which we have conferred on the Gal-
lician Church; yourself; and your subjeCts ; you have
been a witness, that, finder all circumstances, we have
lent ourselves as far as lay in our power, to all the
concessions and concordats with the French Empire
and Kingdom of Italy ; 'in short, you have been a
witness of the immense sacrifices which we have
made,-to the detriment of our people, for the benefit
and the repose of the French and Italian Nations,
and which are- such, that our subjects, already in
misery, are unable to procure the means of sub-
sistence.

You, however, in return for so many favours,
have not ceased to fill dur heart with bitterness, to
reduce us to the greatest extremities under false pre-
tences, and to harasS our conscience. In return for
the Ecclesiastical Concordat ydu have not ceased to
seek to,destroy it, by separate laws called 'Organic ;
you have made to us propositions calculated to that
effe6t, and irreconcileable with the morality of the
gospel, and with the unalterable maxims of the uni-
versal Catholic Church.
In return for these benefits, the States of the Ho-
iy-See have had to support the enormous burthen of
your troops, in such a way, that since the year 180 t
up to the present time, they have wasted five millions
of Roman crowns, without keeping the solemn pro-
mise of reimbursement by the kingdom of Italy ; in'
return for these sacrifices, you have despoiled as of
the Duchies of Benevento arid of Ponte Corvo, under
promises of indemnifying the Holy See in the most
generous manner. • .4
• In retnin for our condescension, you have demand-
ed our sanaion to articles contrary to the law of
nations, to the. unity, and the Canons of the Church,
to the good of the Catholics of other kingdoms, and
destruaion of our independence and of the liberty of
the Church.

To accomplish your designs, you have invaded as
an enemy, not our States only, but the States given
to the Apostolic See 'by the piety and generosity of
Sovereigns, for the most part French ; States con-
secrated to the independence and to the liberty of the
successors of St:Peter, and confirmed to the Com-
mon Father of
,all the Faithllil by all, the Catholic.
Princes, dozing eleven centuries of possession, in
order that the Common Father might enjoy, in the
children; complete liberty and Mile-
tptinddstenocef
In short, yon have invaded, as an enemy, the Ca-
pital. itself; you have caused the military to revolt;
you have occupied with an armed force the Post-
Otlice and the Printing houses ; you have torn from
'our bosom both our Counsellors, who aided us in
conducting the affairs of the Catholic Church, and
the Ministers of Justice; 'you haYe even kept us pri-
soner in our Apostolic residence, while our people
were trod upon. by your soldiers.
We,eveu :appeal to yourself !o pronounce upon
your own condu., marked by a contempt of all the
rights of nations, of yourrsacred duties, and of your
peopie. We appeal even to you, as to a son whoM
we have consecrated, and who had sworn to repair
the losses, and to maintain the rights of the Church
and the justice of the Most Hip. Notwithstand-
ing, you abuse your power, trampling under foot
the most sacred duties, chiefly to the detriment of
the Church. Take care, however, lest, if you do
not stop short, we should exercise, though in all
ipmility of heart, that authority which Almighty
God has placed in our hands; take care, lest you add
new motives to make known to the world the justice
of our cause; for then all the misfortunes which
shall follow our condua, must be placed to your per-
sonal responsibility. •

An old Jack Tar, just returned from• sea, met his
old messmate, Bet Blowsy; he was so overjoyed,
that he determined to commit matrimony;' but at
the altar the ParSoo demurred, as there was tot
cash enough between them to pay the fee“ on
which Jack, thfusting a few shillings into the_sleeve
of his cassoc, exclaimed, " Damn it, brother, never
mind !• marry us as far as it will go."
