DR. NORRISIS-FEVER DROPS.

THIS celebrated Medicine is allowed to be
superior to any other remedy in all cases of Fevers,
Sore Throats, Slow Fevers, commonly called Nervous,
Typhus Fever, and Agnes, and all those Disorders which
arise from obstructed perspiration. In hot climates,
where Fluxes and Bilious Complaints are very prevalent,
especially in the Weit Indies end America, these Drops,
are, by extensive successful experience, proved to be in-
valuable. They produce perspiration in the most gentle
sad easy manner, and without giving the Patient the least
disturbance or uneasiness. These Drops, given agreeably
tb the direction in the several and distinct cases, not a
single instance has ever come to the knowledge of Dr.
Norris, in which they have failed to cure. Purchasers are
requested to observe that the genuine preparation of
Notri*'s Drops, will have engraved on the Stamp,
" Thomas Nerds Moore." Mr. Norris Moore has cots-
!dished a Depot with Mr. Edwards, 67, St. P4ul's Church-
yard ; I.lr. Sanger, Oxford street, opposite Bond-street,
and Mr. Stradling, at the entrance to the loyal Exchange,
Ceruhill ; for the sale of the above Medicine.

ADMIRALTY SESSIONS, OCT. 25.

(Concluded from our paper of yesterday.)

The Grand Jury returned true bills against
James .21,PDanald, Daniel Marlin, and Francisco
Jose, a Spaniard.
The three pritioners were then placed at the bar,
and indicted for having piratically removed and
shipped 369 persons as slaves. By a late act of
Parliament, this has been made a capital offence.
The indictment was explained to the prisoner
Jose through the medium of an interpreter.
They all pleaded " Not Guilty."
Dr. iENNER, the King's Advocate, Mr. AHOY,
PHUS, and Mr. WIGIMIAN, conducted the case fur
the prosecution.
William- Shearman said, in June, 1829, he was
captain of the Monkey schooner. At that time
he was cruising off the Bahama Bank. The force
of his vessel was one gua and twenty-six men. On
the 27th of that month he sew ti brig lying offH
the bank. She had no caloure displayed, Wit-1
nese immediately made towards her, and she . sot
under weigh and stood off and on the bank. Wit.
nets kept watch over her. About one o'clock
in the middle of the day, she opened a broadside
upon the Monkey, which did not, however, do utiy
damage; and the action commenced and lasted
more then half an hour. At the end of that time
she struck her colours, but still continued firing
musketry, and witness kept firing, when somelloily
from the brig said, " We hare struck i for Qodts
sake do not tire agein." Witness then sent his mate
on board, who took posses:ion ciao vessel. Witness
also went on board, and found the crew consisted of
53 men, one of whom had been killed in the action.
The force of the brig was four 12-pounders and
four 18. She had also small arms for fifty-six men.
Witness then went-with the prize to the Havannah,
and on the way thither eighty.three of the slates
died. The prisoners were on
,hoard the vessel, and
they' admittedl that they
could speak Englik,:li as iitnees if hp chose
to do so. The sjeves out 1)004 were in e.inest
dreadful state, thirtywone of them jumped over-
board and were drowned in one day.
Other evidence was adduced, after which the
Jury, after deliberating some time, expressed a wish
to retire, and they wort after returned into Court,
finding a verdict of guilty against all the three pti-
sorters, but at the same time strongly recommended
them to mercy,

Yesterday a foreigner, of fashionable appearance,
was brought before Mr. Roe, the sitting Magistrate,
on the following charge:—
Mr. Preston, the proprietor of the Regency. Hotel
and Coffee-house, in the Regent's Quadrant, stated
that about a fortnight ago the prisoner came to his
hotel, anti put up there as having just arrived from
France, by way of Brighton, and presented his cArd,
on which was elegantly engraved "Baron de Mylle
Dabausan," and represented himself to be the per-
son who had just been
.appointed by the new
French Government as Ambassador from the Court
of France to the United States of America, and
that he was now on his way to the United States,
and was passing through London for the purpose of
having an interview with the Prince de Talleyrund,
the French Ambassador, here, on diplomatic
business, before his final departure. From his
arrival until the present moment, he continued at
the hotel living in, the first style, :baring the most
expensive dinners anal wines served to him that
could be procured, and frequently had large parties,
both foreigners and English, to dine with him,—
indeed he bud that very day (yesterday) ordered a
splendid dinner for six persons to.be prepared. The
prisoner generally, Mr. Preston said, went out ut a
particular hour every day, and on those occasions
he always represented that he was going to have
his official interview with die Prince de Tulleyrand.
Not doubting for a moment, Mr. Preston said, that the
prisoner was really the character he represented himself
to be, there was no hesitation whatever about letting
his hotel account run up to a considerable amount,
which it had now attained ; nor, from the ease and
elegance of his manner, and the air of confident in-
difference with which he deported himself, did he
(Mr. Preston) for an instant dream of refusing him
the loan of upwards of 10/. in money, which he
asked for at different times in various sums. "At
last," said Mr. Preston, " I began to think that it
was rather strange that a nobleman just starting on
a foreign embassy should be so completely without
money as the prisoner appeared to be, and I began
to suspect that possibly he might not be the person
he represented himself, and that his alleged daily ex-
pectations of receiving large remittances from France
might, by chance, turn out to be moonshine; and,
acting on this suggestion, I went this morning to
the French Ambassador's residence, where, I made
inquiry, and found that all my worst suspicions were
but too well grounded, for that Prince Tulleyrand
knew nothing whatever of such a person as the, pri-
soner, nor had he had any interview with him ; and,
in fact, that although Baron Dabausan %vas un-
doubtedly the ambassador from the Court of France
to the United States of America, the prisoner was
not that " Baron." On this discovery, Mr. Pres-
ton said he saw ut once that he had been the dupe
of an itnpoator, and returning to the hotel imme-
diately, lie called in a police officer, and gave the
13 •
risoner into his custody, and had him conveyed se-
cretly to this office. He (Mr. Preston) has since
ascertained, that he alone was not the only sufferer
in his house, for that the prisoner had so much in-
gratiated himself into the good opinion of every
gentleman that was stopping at the, hotel at the
same time, that he not only joined them every day
at their request in their supper patties, &e., but
borrowed money of them all; and indeed so engag-
ing were his manners and conversation, that these
gentleman, foreign as well as English;deciare that
they would not have refused him any demand he
might have made on their purses, which, no doubt,
in a little time would have been much more consi-
derable than it was had not the discovery taken place.
The prisoner, who speaks the English language
very well, was extremely desirous to hold his con-
versation with the Magistrate in French. but Mr.
Roe said that he only conversed in French with
those who could not speak die language of this
country.

The. prisoner then admitted that be was not the
Baron D.ibausan, Ambassador to the United States,
as he had represented himself, but his teal name, he
said, was Edmund de Mylle; be was, he said, a
native of Nancy, in France, and had been about a
month in this country. He certainly had not, he
said, as be bad represented, visited the Prince de
Talleyrand as yet, but he was very well known to
the Prince, notwithstanding. The whole of his
statement, he admitted, as to his holding any official
appointment from the French Government was
groundless, but he was in daily expectation of a re-
mittance of motley from France, out of which he
would dis Charge Mr. Preston's demand. Indeed,
he said, Mr. Preston bud a quantity of luggage
and wearing apparel of great value, at his hotel,
belonging to him, the prisoner, which was more than
ample security for the amount of his debt.
Mr. Preston said that there was some luggage,
but the only tiling valuable, lie believed, in it was a
quantity of new clothes which the prisoner had ob-
tained since he bud come to the hotel, of Mr. Gortz,
under the same false re-
a tailor in the Qaailrants
presentations.
Mr. Gortz made a very long story of his having,
on the false representation of the defendant, made
him a suit of clothes.

Nlr. Preston said that instead of beings Baron or
nu Ambassador, he hnd reason to believe that the
prisoner had been a teacher of the French language
at a school in this country, and he asked the pri-
soner if he bad ever been at Exeter?—The pri•
sorter replied that he never had in his life, nor did
lie know where Exeter was. _

Mr. Pi% won said that he had not the slightest
doubt but the prisoner was the person who bud been
practising frauds of all sorts extensively through the
county of Kent, and various other parts of the
country, passing himself off as one of the suite of
the ex-King of France! the Duchess of Kent, &c.,
and biting mansions in their names; and he was
pretty certain, if the prisoner was remanded, plenty
of persons would come forwartj on a future Clay to
recognise him,
Idol; then explained to the prisoner the na-
ture of the charge against him for obtaining► property
under false pretences, and ordered him to be re-
manded until Thursd4y next, then to to 4Tought
up for rc-axrpninatiwl,
The prisoner is genteel-looking young man,
about 0, years of mg-e, and . about five feet eight

slink pomplcytiolii 41r, anti whisii-ers, and wears a;

REPORT OF TILE SELECT COMMITTEE ON TILE STATE
. OF THE (LONDON) COAL TRADE.
The Report of the Select Committee of the House
of Commons on the important and interesting sub•
ject of the London Coal Trade has at length been
printed.. Considering, the extent and consequence
of the question, the Report is far from lengthy,
but still our limits compel us to confine ourselves
to its substance or most material passages and
statements.
The Committee first examined theleveral Acts
and Regulations affecting the vale and delivery of
coals in the cities of London and Westminster, and
the adjoining counties; and they next. proceeded to
inquire into the price of coal, and the charges there-
on, in the port of London and at the ports of ship.
ment; and further, us to any regteations or restric-
tions on the supply of coal for the port of London.
The trade is carried on in the following manner:—
All coal brought bit° the port, of London is re-
.quireerto b&sold on the Coal ..Eieliunge. When a
vessel arrives her papers are transmitted- to the
factors in the Coal Market. The entry being made
at the Custom-house, the certificate is endorsed and
filed by the Receiver of the Lord Mayor's Dues,
and a copy of it sent to the Clerk of the Coal
Market, by whom it is publicly exposed. The
factor then proceeds to the sale, which can take
place only between the hours of twelve and two on
Monthly's, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The contracts
are required to be entered in the factor's book; a
copy is then given to the Clerk of the Market, after
which the fitter's certificate, together with a warrant
and a certificate of the King's and tile City dues
being paid, ure tlelivered to the Clerk of the Sl.ip
Meters' Office, together with u turn paper, specify-
leg the order of succession in which the different
purchasers shall have their respective shares of the
cargo delivered to them. A ship meter is then up-
pointed to superititend the discharge of the cargo.
Of these ship meters there are fifteen principal and
one hundred mid fifty-eight deputy or working ones,
and they are all appointed by the city of London.
The principal meters superintend the deputy or
working meters, whose duty it is to ascertain and
certify the quantity of coal measured out of the
ship; and each deputy meter appoints an assistant,
who works with him in the delivery of the cargo.
The labourers, called whippers, are also appointed
under the city of London. According to the quan-
tities ascertained by the ship meter, not only the
public dues and duties are paid, but also the freight
and the price agreed for by the persons who have
purchased the cargo. It is the duty of the ship
meter to transmit an account of the quantity of coal
measured from the ship to the Ship Meters' Office,
to the Clerk of the Coal Market, and to the °nice
of the Principal Land Meter. When the coal
reaches the merchant's wharf the superintendence
devolves on the land tneterv, of whom there are four
divisions—one in the city or London, one in West-
minster, one in parts of Middlesex, and a fourth in
the county of Surrey. However, parts of the me-
tropolis within the county of Kent, and the principal
part of the Regent's Canal, are free from any such
control. The land meters are entitled to sixpence
per chaldron for all coal sold by wharf measure, and
one shilling for every five chuldrons of coal sold by
pool measure. It is the duty of these persons to
superintend the actual measurement of all coal re-
movet4 Jeom she barge. A .bushel measure is re-
..
quired ttrhe sent with each waggon, and the purr
chaser is entitled to require any one sack to be
measured: if that be found deficient he may send for
a land meter, and require the remainder to be
measured in his presence.
This is the system in the port of delivery. In
the port of shipment there are other regulations.

tled to any reduction of duty, and, though it is said
to contain the finest parts of the coal, is nearly, if
not altogether wasted. The coal is either put into
waggons ut the pit's mouth, from whence it is eon-
veyed to smiths or spouts, and is directly put into
the ships, or it is conveyed to .the ships in keels,

put into tub', in order as much as possible to
prevent the breakage; eight tubs are in u keel, and
each tub is lifted on board the vessel, so that the
coals are as little broken as possible. When coal is
loaded from smiths the breakage is prevented by
lowering the waggon on the ship's deck. It is re-
vived by the Act of 9 Anne, c. 28, that the litters
shall send u certificate to the Lord Maym's
office; and by the Act of (i Geo. IV., c. 107,

In addition to these charges the coal-merchant's

25., cartage 65., credit 20., shootage Is. 3d. for even
money 3d.; mange Bd., market dues Id., land
metage 6d., giving a total of 13e. 9d. This is from a
statement made by Mr. Honig.
From the amount or charges the Committee pro-
ceed to offer such remarks as have suggested them-
selves in the course of their inquiries, and to pro.
pose such measures as they think will be produc-
tive of benefit to the public. The Committee is of
opinion that the charges of the coal-merchant to
the consumer might be much reduced, if the office
of land-meter was abolished. After going into this
branch of the subject at some length the Report
thus concludes upon it :—On the whole, we believe
that all attentive consideration of the evidence will
lead the House to agree with the Committee in
opinion, that the expence and inconvenience which
are produced by the system of land-metage are not
compensated by any security which it affords to the
public. We believe that if coal were to be delivered
by weight, and every facility were afforded to the
purchaser for seeing the coal weighed, that the
Public would be considerably benefited by the change
of system.
The Report complains ousels of the system of un-
loading the ships, and certainly with great reason 1
—" The allowance made by law to the whippers,
amounting to 3s. for each score of 20 rhuldrens,
being higher than the present rmultet rate of the
wages of labour, much abuse bus at isen in the distri-
bution of the excess. It appears by the evidence
of Griffiths, Levi, and ethers, that the undertakers,,
who usually provide gangs of whippers for unload-
ing the vessels, connect themselves with publicans
and shopkeepers, and compel the men whom they
choose to employ to purchase liquor and goods of
those persons upon very disadvantageous terms.
Levi says, ' he is found in constant employ tl is
public house.' When put on board to work the
ship, the undertaker collects Vs, for the puhlieun.
In addition to this, each man is forced to pay Qs. a-
day for gin or beer, equally whether he thinks it or
not ; after these deductions, and taking it into ac-
count the days he is not employed, he can seldom
carry home more than 16s. a week to his family.
The witnesses coticur in stating, that in porta tvhieb
are free from these regulation., flip discharge of the
cargo is much more econonnually conducted, and
your Committee have no hesitation IN recommend-
ing the repeal of this law, leaving the owners to
provide their own means of unloading, the vessel.
The total amount of the money received by the
whippers in lit 29 was 10t *6l. 13.5."
The emoluments awl duties of the shipsaleters
old their assistants are next considered IssaThe total
payments to these persons on 1,403,581 chuldrone
imported in 7,02 j ships in the year 1829, were as
follows 1--,,Meters, 33,090/. 19s. 4d.; meters' tnen,
11,9.511. 17s. As these payments appeared to be
umitcessarily large, your Committee have considereil
whether the ship as well as the latittgetera could
not be altogether dispensed sNith i they are, how-
ever, of opinion, tilt as 2 iitllll of about 90,0001. is

tious mode of carrying on the trade, inasmuch as the
fraud to which it may be liable of wetting coal, in
order to increase its weight, is limited in its effect,
and is easy of detection, and your Committee do
not think it liable to prevail to any conSiderable -ex-
tent. Your Committee are so engthened in this
opinion by a statement of Mr. Home, that the sy-
tem of selling by weight has of late years been be-
neficially adopted in Dublin; they are_ disposed
therefore to recommend to the House ae adoption
of this important change. The city of London is
voids d, a 54 shown by Mr. Scott in his ex istenee,
prescriptive right confirmed by Chaster and. Act ef
Parliament, to 4d. per chuhlron on all coil me•sured,
or Bd. per ton on all coal if weighed in the Port of
Loudon :• nut of this fund is provided a payment r
Id. per chaldren to the ship meterg, and the expense
of the vats-nod other apparatus for meows ing, coals.
The surplus of this fund, amounting to about
16,000/. a year, is applied to the general purposes
of the Corporation. In respect to this payment we
recommend, with the consent of the Corporation of
London, that whatever they. are now entitled tourer
a chaldrou, should be collected on a ten in the pro.
portion which the one may be found practically :to
beer on the other; and we also recommemL for th,
general accommodation of the trade, that the pay.
meths now made at various places for 11,,illiage
Groundage, Lord Mayoe's Permit, and Coal•metee's
Office, should be consolidated with it, and a siugle
charge be made per ton, according to some just pro-
portion. With respect- to the regulations of the
market, the Comma; tee recammetol that all persona
bona fide importing coal for their cosh use, should
be exempted from its regulations. They think also,
that persons should be permitted to sell coal on arty
day, mei at any place they please,provided °lily that
they make a return of the sale in the same rosin as
if it was actually sold on the Coal Els:doAge. .other
alterations are also suggested in the arrangements of
this market.
The Report then refers to the charge for freight,
which, it remark,,, bus been reduced of bite years
in a greater proportion than any other of the charges
on coal :—There are several charges independent
of those on coal %%birds fell upon the ship, and are
paid out of the freight ; and it would appear that after
these charges were deducted, there remained ()nit
voyage froth the Tyne Ga. 3d. and from the Weer
6s. 3J. per c'uthlron to defray all the expencea of

Committee to notice the price at which coal is sold
on delivery to the ship. This uppears on coat
of average quality in 1829, to have been about 14s.

that all the sixpences of raising from the pits to tbr
actual delivery on board ship, should be covered
with a profit by a p,ayma nt of 14s. per eitaldron ; and
that the trans-shipment from port to port should ISt
defrayed by 6s. 3d., whilst the expense of conveying
the mine coal from the ship in the Tt.ver Thames to
the consumer should actually mouton to l'111.41(1:.

PARIS, OCT. 23.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRkSrONDENT.)
SPAIN.

Since my last various and contradictory have been the
accounts from the Pyrennees, respecting the operations of
the Constitutional force'. The divisions which so long
disunited and disgraced the patriots, which hastened the
French invasion, facilitated the triumph of aervilism and
the fall of the Cortes in 1823, still clung like a fatal mil-
dew to the cause, even to the moment when the harvest
seemed ready for the sickle, and Spain seemed about to
embrace once more her patriotic exiles, and to regain her
fimented Constitution. Happily the fire of the enemy
has effected what all the efforts of friendly mediators and
all the appeals of patriotism had failed in ; the egotism—
the selfish ambition of Valdez and his followers have been
...lifted tinder the blows of Juanito, and he has been fain to
owe his escape from destruction to the friendly shield with
which Mina has covered and protected him. He has tar-
dily done that which ought never to have been left for one
ro-ment undone—he has acknowledged the Chief whom
fat tin—whom France and England, with a voice too
is minims to be safely slighted, hail already proclaimed as.
Vie most worthy; and we may hope that, grateful for not
Wing summoned to a severe account before a Council of
Mar for disobedience of orders, and a wanton exposure as
well as sacrifice of the lives of his brave followers, he will
4a found in his proper sphere zealous and courageous to
t xecete the part assigned to him in the glorious enterprise,
and duly to appreciate that, if to him are denied the talent
and the opinion needful in a Commander-in-Chief, there
is yet a glory in obedience and devotion, which lie may
share with many others, his superiors or his equal in rank
and pretensions. The banner of Tarifa was an omen of
evil acceptation fhr the onslaught, and will not be re-
garded less so by the soldier and the public for refreshing
its disastrously ensanguined hue in the unfortunate fields
near Zugarramurdi. Nor are dark threats and proclama-
tions of vengeance and re-actions a means of disarming
opposition and smoothing obstacles. lnfatuand to risk so
good so great a cause so slightly, to dare to wave the
sword of retribution, and to shake the chains of a dun-
geon at the head of his paltry hundred in the face of the
expectant millions of Spain. But 1 forbear; a just in-
dignation would not permit me to say less; the more so
when I ►ee men occupied in justifying the case with all the
energy of a miserable party spirit. An honest journal of
the departments has exclaimed that Valdez ought to have
been instantaneously taken am d shot by Mina, for compro-
mising the general weal; I would say, let him honourably
wipe out the misdeed in the blood of the common foe on
the field of action.

You will have read the proclamation of Aline on enter-
ing Spain ; how nobly dies it contrast with the puny ap-
peal and pretentious presumption of that of Valdez. It
is a document worthy of the occasion—worthy the nation
to whom it loftily appeals, whose confidence it invites and
commands together. If I mistake not, it will receive the
applause of all Europe, but, above all, of England. 'flie
Sovereigns will find no wild crusades proclaimed; the
people are invited with no prospects of anarchy, confu-
sion, and pillage. Vengeance and re-actions are disavowed
with the accent of truth ; and the Sovereign himself, if
he be yet at the eleventh hour wise, may safely repose in
the obvious good faith of the words of Mina.
I had written thus far when letters from Bayonne, to
the date of the 18th, were communicated to me by dif-
fevnt individuals, I grieve to find from them no con-
firniation of Valdez's acknowledgment of Mina, but rather
reason to stippore the contrary. I will only say that it
ought, in such a case, to be no longer a question of tole.
rating such an anomaly destructive of the common cause.
I must join the French Journalist; let the agitator, the
intriguer, who is probably after all a concealed traitor,
working in concert with Ferdinand, be at once punished
with the utmost severity of military law. There is no
safety for the Constitutionalists short of this.
Quiroga has at rived at Bayonne, and proceeds without
delay to join Mina. I bear that other officers are putting
themselves in route from this city, where I shall expect
shortly net to find one remaining. I should be sorry if it
were otherwise. Dr. Alinano, the friend and partner of
Aguado, has been at Bayonne for some time, despatching
day Intelligence to the Captain-General of Guipuzcoa,
the Governors of Pamplona and fit. Sebastian, anti the
Court of Madrid, of the movements of the refugees. The
boasting and iodination. of Valdez and his partizans, af-
forded him ample gratification; but he would find it im-
possible to penetrate the habitual reserve of Mina. From
Perpignan we Lave no intelligence by courier of the entry
said, by telegraphic despatch to this Government, to have
been effected by the patriot forces in that quarter into Ca-
talonia. In a day or two we shall doubtless have all par-
tiehlars.
In Paris and France we are without any striking no•
veity. All eyes are directed to the approaching trials, and
all tongues canvassing the approaching changes in the Mi-
nistry.
A few evenings ago 1 attended a meeting of the Socikt;
nannies) de staiisque Unieerselle, relatively to which a
few particulars cannot be uninteresting to the public.
'lbis Society owes its foundation to a man well known and
sieeerveilly appreciated in England where he was several
wears resident as Vice-Consul, M. Cresar Moreau, and its
objects are of the most useful description, as well as of the
afloat advantageous application as well nationally as intli-
Aidually. Its peculiar utility to Prance needs not to be
painted out, inasmuch as though she is eminently rich in
men endowed with all learning and knowledge, there are
perhaps some branches of Statistics which may not have
been cultivated until latterly with the zeal of which they
are deserving, nor carried to the perfection of which
they seem susceptible in a country so rich in matter
and materials. The manufacturing and agricultural
industry and commerce of France have received since
the peace so strong an impulse, and have made a
pogrom so extraordinary, as necessarily to excite the at-
tention of all classes, and to call for the increased zeal of
the political economist, in order to understand well the
ewer, and to appreciate properly the beoeficial conse-
quenceo of their prosperity, so as most effectually to ad-
minister to their future best interests. The wars of the
republic, and the glories of the empire, had necessarily
east these vital interests so far into the shade, that their
study became an object of very aecontlery importance—
perhaps, I might add, of very unfashionable aecount.
M. Moreau lots therefore opened a vast and an honour.
able career to the rodent spirit of enterprise and informa-
tion which so erniunetly distinguishes his countrymen.
II ha had done no moo than establish this Societal de
Statiaque Universelle as a ettaint of centralization for
the knowledge and talent of Frame, he would have effected
it great benefit, but the objects of tiler honorable Associa-
Aim are not so eircumscribed ; they embrace the learning
anal invite the co-operation of the learned men of ail &race,
Although not yet a year old it dates from the 22d Nov.
Is) only), beatifies several lanntireed native members, I ob-
serve there ere about two hundred teemed foreigners, of
all parts of the .civilikel globe, enrolled, of whom almost
.roe-half, I am proud envoy, belong to Great Iltattgo alone.
Atno»g these are the Wowed names of the Marquis a4'
Lansdowne, Lord Palmentoo, elw Dukes of Bedford and
Portland, Joseph Hume, ALP., Sir Sidney Smith, &c. &c.
The Society is honoured with the especial peotection of
Lis Majesty King ,Philip, who, as Due d'Orleano boil
entered warmly into its spirit; end it counts besialee among
It. Presidents and Members, the Emperor Nicholas and
a consitlereble number of German Princes and Sovereigns,
and Ministers of many nations, who wii'ali en enlightened
seal are desirous of concurring in the spec.:
.471 d the ac-
quisition of knawledge. When !see the Immo list futtiolegely
embracing oo many inetnliers resident in the %wimp Pepari-
merits of Vance, I cannot but anticipate from their pia
and well distributed labours an accession of various
anti most valuable detail and refeetion, tint to France alone,
but to the common store of the world, Such of the ar-
rangements as I have had time to examine rrietive to the
accomplishment of these oNcctir, do great honour to eke
talented members of the Council of 4.4iiiinidratitin, and
to that spirit of generalization, detail, anal etnolensation,
we know to combine so happily in M. Moreau.
You may be curious, perhaps, to have some particulate
respecting that gentleman, whew! career of usefulness has
won, arid is, tea loinourahly distinguished on both sides of
the C:atentl. Anpoiottol to the functions of Vice-Consul
in lenijana, be applied himself to understand the country

little remarkable, that one foreigner !trot presented the Enga

of her colonial, canarnerciel, &cal, anal iniliPter system.
