dow and said, " Post-boy ! you need not men-
tion the news as you go aiong.;" to which SIM- ;
ng replied, " I shall not, Sir, unless you ttesire '
it ;" and at the same time asked him what the
news was. The gentleman then told him exactly
what he had stated to the waiter, with these addi-
tional circumstances that be came ashore within,
two miles of Dover, the Frenchmen being afraid •
to come nearer; that he came from the place
where he lauded, to the Ship Inn at Dover, and
left it at two o'clock in the morning ;—that be
had sent the intelligence to the Port Admiral at
Deal, in order that the telegraph might be worked,
and that he was obliged to do so. The gentleman
then said no more to the post-boys till they got to
Shooters-Hill, when they dismounted and walked
by the side of the horses. He gave them out of
the chaise part of a bottle of wine and some bis-
cuits, and said to Shilling, " Post-boy ! I think
I shah take a hackney-coach." Shilling toli him
the first hackney-coach stand was at the Brick-
layers-Arms. He replied, " I shall not get out
there, that won't do ;" and asked it there was
not a coach-stand in Lambeth-road, and desired
him to drive on to that place, a• the chaise would
go faster than a coach. At the same time the
Gentleman told Shilling, that he need not men-
tion any thing as he went on, but that on return-
ing he. might mention it to whom he pleased.—,
When they came to the Stags at Lambeth, there
was no coach there. The Gentleman then drew
up the side-blind of the chaise, (at the corner
where he sat) as if to hide himself, and the post-
boys drove on to Marsh-Gate. They stopped at
the side of a hackney-coach standing there, and
on the chaise-door and coach-door being opened,
the Gentleman got into the coach and drove oil',
after having given a gold Napolsion to each of the
drivers. Shilling asked the waterman where the
Gentleman ordered the coachman to drive, and he
replied, " to Grosvenor-square." Shilling de-
scribed the Gentleman as having a large red *nose,
large whiskers, face rather blotched, and that
when ha spoke his eyes seemed to catch ; he
thinks him about the height of Saver, the Police-
officer, but not quite so tall or so lusty : he had
on a brown surtout, and a red coat under it, a
brown fur cap, with something like silver lace on
it. He had also a sword and a small portmane:su,
which were laid on the seat of the chaise. He
paid for the chaise at Dartford, and ordered it to
drive to /Downing-street. Shilling says he has
no doubt but that he should know him again.

WILLIAM CRANE stated, that he is the driver
of the hackney-coach, No. S9O ; that he took
up on Monday, Feb. 21, at about forty minutes
past eight o'clock in the morning at the Marsh-
Gate, a Gentleman who had just alighted from
a Dartford chaise and four ; that he was di-
rected to drive to No. 13, Green-street, Grosve-
nor-square, where the Gentleman alighted, and
knocking at the door, inquired for Colonel or Cap-
tain [the coachman did not hear thi. :lamed and
was told by the servant that he was gone to break-
fast in Cumberland-street ; that on receiving this
reply, the Gentleman asked if he could write a note
to him, and on being answered in the aftirmative,
he went into the parlour apparently fur that pur-
pose ;—that he took his portmanteaß, and sword
in his hand_ ~a<i 1.1,1 et...,1..‘r-n 0Q if familiar with
the house, that on Crane's asking bin.' for more
money, he came to the parlour door and gave him
another shilling ;—that Crane then left him in the
house, and the door being shut, he drove away;--
that he should know the house again to which he
drove. 2nd also that he should know the Gentle-
man again by his speech ;—that he looked like a
foreigner, had a cough, and was a red-faced man
about the middle ;—that he hail on a brown
great-coat with a red coat under it, and a fur cap
with gold lace ;—that the servillt, who opened the
door was a short man, rather elderly, and dressed
in black clothes.

Mr. SAYER, the Police-Officer in attendance,
stated, that on Saturday, Feb. 26, he went with
William Crane, the hackney-coachman, to Green_
street, in order to identify the 'must. When they
arrived there, be desired the Coachman to knock
at the door, and (under some pretence) to inquire
for the Gentleman whom he likid set down there
on Monday. He did so, but was answered flora
the area, that the Gentleman did not live there,
that Mr. Durand did live there, but that be had
just left it ;—that the. family now residing them:
was Lord Cochrane's, and that they came in only
on Friday last. Sayer asked the Coachman if he
bad any recollection of the servant, he replied,
that it was not the same footman who opened
the door here on Monday when the gentleman
alighted.

At a subsequent examination, Mr. Sayer stated,
that be bid obtained intormation• in the neigh-
bourhood, that Mr. Durand left No. 13, Green-
street, on Wednesday, Feb. 16, and that Lord
Cochrane came in a day or'two afterwards.
Mr. Sayer being instructed to.nbtain the' most
correct information upon this subject, stated, at
another examination, 04 he had aseet tallied that
Lord Cochrane came into the house, ,No, 13,
Green-street, on Thursday, Feb. 17, but that it
is uncertain whether Mr. Durand slept there that
night or not ; be likewise stated, that he bad
ascertained that Lord Cochrane, his brother, and
three or four more men,. live in the house ;
that the man-servant had been turned off and an-.
.other hired ;—that the servant wle) let in the pre-
.tended Du Bourgh is sent into the country ;
that the maid-servant is not allowed to be seen or
spoken to ; that the house •is Mr. Durand's, who
has let it (furnished) to Lord Cochrane ; that Mrs.
Durand has been seen to wear such a cap as the
one which the pretended Du Bourgh is said. to
have worn. •

Mr. LAURENCE (Chairman of the Committee)
stated, that he bad been -to Messrs. Bond and Co.
bankers, and bad ascertained, that the four one-
pound Bank notes which the pretended Du Bourg!)
is said to have paid away to the landlord of the
Ship-Inn, Dover, together with another one-
pound note which he had paid away on the road,
were in their hands between the hours- of one or
two o'clock on Saturday, the 19th of February ;
on being asked whether they could tell to whom
they•had paid away any quantity of one-pound
notes after that ti»te on" Saturday, they said they
could not without a great deal of trouble, but
that if. Mr. Lawrence would mention the name of
any person, they would turn to their account, and
endeavour to ascertain the fact. reuuested
