,THE

MR. Eorron7—l regret that 'you Jiave not given
a report of the very numerous and respectable
Meeting inlavour of Poor' Byrne ; nor noticed my
Censure of the mercenary conduct (as the most
favourable construction), of The Times, Old
and New, The 'Traveller, courier, and Star, all
of which .refused to insert my letter, announcing
the meeting, without being paid, the Morning
Papers three guineas each ; and the Evening ones
a guinea and a half. This was too heavy a pull
on the purse of poor Byrne, who is reduced by
the Bishop's cruelty to poverty and a sick hos-
pital. However, the page of history
,shall record
the generous spirit of the Journals, that, like
yourself, inserted my letter, viz. the Morning
Post and chronicle, the Sun, and British Travel-
ler, daily Papers; and the Representative, Inde-
pendent, Observer, tVooler's Gazette, and Life in
London, Sunday Papers. All the others had
equal opportunity of doing so, as I wrote to them
all ; but they neglected it. However, I trust
they will now do their utmost to make known to
their Readers, that I shall he happy to receive
Substriptions for poor Byrne, and will give pa-
pers, authorizing any house keeper, (who will
call on me for them) to receive the mites of the
Charitable. The amount collected already ex-
ceeds my expectations. I send you copies of
correspondence, and important documents, that
cannot fail to interest yOur Readers,
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY.--The
following anecdote respecting the late Marquis
of LONDONDERRY may serve to exculpate those
to whom directions had been given to remove
every weapon of destruction from the Noble
Marquis's reach of which they knew him to be
in possession ; and may also tend to spew more
strongly the disordered state of the Marquis's mind
on the Friday, when the symptoms of deranged
intellect first became so manifest to all around him.
We have already stated, that on the Friday in
question, the unfortunate Nobleman was seen
walking in' Cockspitr:street and Pall-mall in
a very absent and. careless manner. As he
was proceeding towards St. James's-street, he
was ppinted out to aGentlemap who had never
seen him before, and whose curiosity was so much
excited on a first view, that he determined to
follow, and have a complete stare at one whose
pa,rticipation in the political changes in Europe,
during the last 20 years, had been so prominent.
He closely pursued his steps upSt. James's-street,
and into Piccadilly, where, to his great surprise,l
,he saw his Lordship bustle
,in among the crowd
which surrounded the coaches assembled in front
of the. White Horse Cellar, and approaching al
Jew boy who held in his hand a tray of cheap
knives, which he was offering for sale, select from
among the number a small onelwith a white handle,
which heimmediately put into his waistcoat pocket,
and throwing down a shilling„the price demanded,
walked away. The Gentleman thought it singular
at the moment, that so great a man should deal
in so small -a way, and at dinner the next day re-
lated theanecdote as a mark of the eccentricity
which he did not expect to have discovered in a
man of such high rank and consequence. The
inelancholy occurrence at North Cray, disclosed
en the Tuesday, had evidently a connection with,
the circumstance thus detailed. It was precisely
suck a knife as that desCrihed.to have been
purchased of the.jew h0.3"1-that the fatal. wound
Was given ; and the ignorance of the Noble
kargilis's servants. that, he was in possession of
Such an instrument, accogrits- fir its having been

The following curious correspondence is pub-
14,ed in a Supplement to the Post and Inland Ga-
zette of Stockholm, published on the sth inst.:—
TO HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN DE NORDERLING, GOVERNOR
OF THE ISLAND OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW.

Fort Royal, Martinique, May 4.

Count Lardenoy, Governor of Guadeloupe, informs me that
,e has learned with certainty, that some individuals resident
at Gustavia have formed the project of disturbing the order and
tranquillity of this Government. Sieur Jeannet is accused of
being the soul and instigator of these perfidious projects. It is
understood that he has gone from St. Bartholomew to the United
.States with from 12,000 to 15,000 gourds, with the intention
of purchasing muskets and ammunition for the execution of the
plan. The brothers Bigard, who trade at Gustavia, are ac-
cused of being the instruments who manage the intrigues.
Meetings have taken place in their house, and thither indivi-
duals have been attracted from Guadaloupe for the purpose of
carrying on the plots. According to information, they have
dispatched emissaries to induce credulous men to take part in a
revolt. It is even said that they have sent printed proclama-
tions through the medium of one George Gouchier, a man of
colour, whose insinuations were rejected with indignation and
disclosed to authority. One Perierre Binet, also a man of
colour, followed him when he embarked for St. Bartholomew.
The brothers Bigard and all these individuals are natives of
Guadaloupe. To all these revealed notices it is added, that
corsairs, or armed vessels, destined to transport a number of
armed men, ready to take part in all the disorders and piracies
for the purpose of enriching themselves, were to assemble and
direct their course against certain points of Guadaloupe, to land
theres excite the labourers to revolt, and to endeavour to rally
partisans.

All these projects, if they exist, being unveiled, cannot give
tunch uneasiness, for measures. will be taken to render them
abortive. But Count de Lardenoy, Admiral Bergeret, and my-
self, consider it nevertheless our duty to make the plots known
to you, convinced that you will feel indignant that your Govern-
ment should have been chosen for the seat of machinations, and
that you will be disposed to adopt measures for suppressing
them. 'We are therefore under the necessity of requesting of you,
Ist, To arrest Sieur Jeannet, a Frenchman, it he be in or re-
turned to St. Bartholomew, to seal up his papers, and to
seize the arms which he may have embarked on board the
vessel in which he may have arrived ; 2dly, To arrest the
brothers Bigard, one named Titus, and the other Benjamin,
to place their papers under seals, in older to their being juri-
dically examined. It is possible that printed proclamations or
notices may be found in their possession. 3dly, to place also
under arrest, Gouchiers Binet, Joseph called Albert, and also
commonly named St: Rose, if they be, or if they appear at
St. Bartholomew ; and likewise all other persons who may be
implicated in the investigation about to be instituted. I here-
with transmit the description of these individuals. 4thly, To
cause the said persons to be interrogated and confronted, in
order to discover the result of the charges against them. othly„
To deliver the said persons, with all the documents of the pro-
ceedings, to Admiral Bergeret, who will repair, with some of
the vessels under his command, to Gustavial to concert with
your Excellency the most certain means of putting a stop to the
commencement of the plots and projects in question. I hope
that you will concur with all the resources in your power, and
which you may judge suitable, in the dispositions best calcu-
lated to attain the object we have in view. We shall find in
such concurrence a new proof of the good harmony which exists
between our Governments, and of the relations of friendship
and good neighbourhood which we shall always endeavour to
maintain with your Excellency. I beg of you to acknowledge
the receipt of this communication, and to accept the renewed
assurance of the high consideration with which I have the
honour to be yours, &c.
DOUZELOT,
Lieutenart-General and Governor of Martinique.

TO HIS EXCELLENCY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL DOU'ELOT,
GOVERNOR &C.,
.OF
_JIARTINIQUE.
• dustavia, St. Bartholomew, May 10.
Yesterday I received, by Admiral Bergeret, the letter
which your Excellency did me the honour to write to me on
the 4th current. It is therein stated that Count Lardenoy
had informed your Excellency that he had learned with
certainty, that some individuals resident at Gustavia have
formed the project of disturbing the order and tranquillity of
that colony (Guadeloupe.) Of the•five persons particularly
pointed out, three are not here, viz. Ist, Sieur Jeannet. I have
already stated:something resecting him in my letter of the 6th.He came here first I from the Island of St. Thomas, on the3th of
November, 1821, took his passage for Guadaloupe on the 10th
of the same month, returned here from Guadeloupe on the 31st
of December following, and finally took passports for Balti-
more, in the United States of. America, on the 14th or March
. this year, after havingmade a voyage to one of the Dutch
islands. His pecuniary resources did not appear to be great,
but he was not destitute of what seemed necessary, and he had
a good supply of linen. He had received, either at Guadaloupe
itself, or by a bill of exchange from Guadaloupe, about 400
piasters. If he left this island with from 12 to 15,000 piasters
to purchase muskets and ammunition in America, it is cer-
tain that he had not that sum here. The brothers Bigard,
whom your Excellency appearistrongly to suspect,aresometimea
very much embarrassed to find one-tenth of what is necessary
to enable them to meet theirengagements. 2dly, In consequence
of private letters which I received from Guadaloupe, contain-
ing complaints against Gepege Gouchier, and in conseqUence
of an act. of impertinence of whieh., he was guilty against a
merchant from Pointe a Petre in my presence, I expelled
him from this island before I had any official letter concern-
ing him. Gouchier received his passport on the I7th of April
last. 3dly, Joseph, alias Albert, alias-St.
Rose, rambles be-
tween St. Thomas and Porto Rico. I caused the house in
which Binet resides, who was abaent, to be surrounded.--
On his return, the police-officers, in- the presence of two in.
habitants as witnesses, collected- all his papers, and carried
them to the government-office, where they have been examined.
I have found among them only three letters. Nos. 1,2, 3, here
subjoined, which contain some equivocal expressions, and
which Binet,will explain, as lie can at Onadaloupe, whither he
has consented to go, on board of the frigate- Hermione. The
only thing 'which vexes him, he says, lea debt of 200 piastres,
which he owes to an auctioneer of Guadeloupe, who will proba-
bly adopt every means to obtain payment. Admiral Bergeret has
promiOed him that if he be found innocent, he shall have liberty
to return here, or go where he may please to follow his lousiness,
which is that of a dealer in small wares, in order that he may
procure the means of paying, his creditor. During his
residence, Binet has lived tranquilly here, and I have heard
no complaints against him. My wife is a_ Creole of Guada-
loupe, I hive a son there, and we expect to inherit a small pro-
perty in the parish of St. Ann. We have throughout the whole
island old friends and a number efrelations. Can it then be rea-
sonably supposed that I would suffer vagabonds to assemble here
for the purpose of plotting against the reptose of your island ? or
that, after an honourable and active service of more than 30
years, I , would- now dishonour myself, by an administra-
tion so weak and incompetent that such plots could be form-
ed under my eyes ? INo, Sir, my police, without making
much noise,, is sufficiently vigilant, and on rnauy occasions
1 have put it to the teat. Every use is liable to be deceived
some time or other, and we cannot expect to be always right ;
but ,what chief is not liable to be in the same situation ? Jean.
net remained several days at Guadeloupe, and during that time
Count Lardenoy, I am informed,•received many representations
against that man. Why was lie not then arrested ? The saline
observation applies to that blackguard Gouchier, and to the En-
glish madman Kelly, to whom your :Procareur, du Rpi gave a
passport for St. Bartholomew; and the subjoined document, No. 4,
proves, that the same officer sent me a negro named Philip, be-
longing
.to Binet. I haVe sometimes found a good deal of
trouble in getting rid of visitors of this description, and the
other day I was obliged to send you one of them. We have
alSo out small portion of restless spirits of our own growth,
whom I am obliged. to watch, and 1. do not wish the number to
be increased. Your Excellency may be assured, that were Ito
perceive the.slighteit symptom of a plot against the neighbour-
ingislands, either here or any Where more remote, I would
hasten to inforin ydu of it. And if this Jeannet, respecting
whom I am inclined to share your suspicion, dare to return
here, I will scud him to Guadeloupe or Martinique, on the de-
mand, and consequently under:the responsibility, of your Ex-
cellency.
It remains for me to speak of the brothers Brigard. To enter
.4 commercial house, take possession of the books and papers,
and to send you the owners without positive proof against them,
is what our iaw.s do not permit to be done, 'and which is not
fitt,ing tO.he done in the presentstate of the question. I re-
qucatedAdmiral Bergeret, to. hear what the head of the House
' had:to itty, and he appeared satisfied, at the conversation.
