MARLBOROUGH-STREE,T., OCT. 6.—The Vestry
Clerk of St. Pancras Parish applied on behatt of the
Parish Officers, for an arittiority tram the Magi-
strates, to possess themselves of certain chatters", the
property of an unfortunate French Lady, the wife of
Couirt Butler, who einig!ated bicker wnh her
tinnily, during the horrors of the Revolution.
The Count himself, who had enjoyed .a stipe&diary
allowance, through the generosity of the British Go-
vernment, had returned to Fraoce during the laSt
short interval of peace, in hopes of recovering some
part of his property, and Ministers were pleas.7ll to
dire.;t that his pension should be caltinued
absence,. The length, however, of this absence,
the uncertainty of his return, added to the embar-
rassment of
_her' situation, so operated upon the
mind of his Lady, as to cause a violent derangement,
in the paroxysms of which she attempted the lives of
children, The Parish Officers were induced to
interfere, and take the unfortunate lady and,her chit-
dreu under their protection, and their objets •was to
indemnity the parish from expellee, by taking pos-
sessiol of her chattels, as in cases of pauperism un-
der- the Poor Laws.

To avoid this, an aged French Nobleman, the Mar-
quis pe la Faire, who professed to. be tile next of
kin to this unfortunate family, had applied to the
parish to hake those children placed under his care,
a 5 also the properly, tor their advantage, and -he
brought with Jilin -letters to the Mtigistrale trout the
Bishop D'Anoulcise and -another French Bishop,
fnlly accrediting hi; vreten:iions.
Cott, N'T was of opinion, that-as no aCt of
vagraticy appeared by any of the tatuk, the •Parish
Othcers could not be warrfu:ed, under- the Poor
Laws, to seize themselves of the chattels,' with-
out being liable to adion for the recovery there-
of, and be certainly could not Think of authorising
them so to do by any warrant from the office, under
hand and seal, awl thereby to assume the responsibi-
lity ‘vnich belonged to thctii. Besides, the ALrquis
dc.: la Faire, their next of kin, very billy claimed the
suiit rintelidance of those cinidren, obering to main-
,
t an them. had-possibly two grounds; the one
kindrtid affeaion,-and asense of their hereditary qua-,
lity, and the hope of ;better foitic.e in other umies.
And-at Other wound. was, his anxiety to have them
bred Roman Catholics, and, the parish, *ad no chat-
tels been in the case, would hardly .hesitate to ac-
.cent his offer. •

The parties then withdrew, tinder the inwiession
that the claim of .Marquis de la Fair,e would be ay-
to; and as to the -pension ass;gned by Count
ilutler to his fatuity, which was'also a part ot the
',lrish claim, the Al:GiArate observed, that it was
ntile:y at the discretion of Government, and could
;lot he at:',.;ted by any authority of either :\tigistiate
