EXTRAORDINARY CHAROE.

UNION-HALL.—Juhn Cott:ins, who stood suspected of being
accessary in stealing the dead body of Sarah Crouch, with whom
he- cohabited, the particulars of which have appeared in our
Paper, was in attendance the whole of yeste:,day, in order to
answer any charge that might-be preferred against him.
Glennon, the officer, said, that according to the order of the
Magistrate he went to St. Thomas's Hospital, to inquire if a
corpse answering the description of the one stolen had been
brought there for dissection: The gentlemen of the dissecting
department behaved in the most handsome manner, and con-
ducted him and Mrs. Barney, tilt: cousin of the deceased, over
the theatre, and exhibited the whole of the subjects therein, but
none answered the description of Sarah Crouch. Be then went
to the houte of Mr. Granger, the Surgeon and Professor of
Anatomy, to make further inquiry, but to no effect. Both the
gentlemen at the Hospital and Mr. Granger said, that should
such a subject be brought to them they would take especial care
that it should be restored.
. • _ . .

Hall, the officer, said, there was not the least doubt but the
body had been sent to Scotland, as vast numbers had been sent
there lately.
The Alagistrate then asked Cousins if he was prepared to say
any thing that might lead to a discovery of the execrable wretches
who had stolen the body ? •
He replied, he knew nothing at all about it ; all he knew was,
that the body was gone.
The Magistrate said, that by his own chewing he associated
with body-snatchers, and was in company with one on the very
night when the body of the unfortunate woman was stolen.
Cousins said, that he only knew Hollis, the resurrectionman,
by his having laid an information against him some time ago
for selling fire-works. He never kept his company.
The Magistrate said that the case must rest as It was for the
present, and ordered all the officers to be on the look-out after
the corpse.
Cousins was set at liberty on his own recognizance, to appear
when called upon.

SOCIET Y.

A General Meeting of the Friends and Subscribers to the
-above Society was held yesterday evening at Mr. Urr 0 N's
-Meeting-house, Church-street, Blackfriars-road. Soon after
six o'clock the Rev. Dr. COLLYER took the Chair, when the
Report of the CoMmittee was read, and presented a very grati-
fying detail. Much good has been effected, and a material
change for the better has taken place among xhe ittvenile classes
in the neighbourhood. Several Gentlemen delivered able
speeches in the course of the evening. The Officers for the en-
suing year having been appointed, and thanks voted to the
Chairman, the Meeting, which was numerously and respectably
attended, adjourned.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, Nov. 12.—A dispatch from M. the
Count de Montmorency was yesterday deliiiered
to M. de Villele, whilst he was transacting busi-

ness with the King.
The last letters which have reached Paris
from Verona are dated the sth inst. His Excel-
lency the Viscount Montmorency, it was ex-
pected, would not set off, on his return, until the
,12th or 15th Ziist.
This day there will be a grand diplomatic din-
ner at the residence of M. the Duke de Cosse
Brissac, Principal Maitre d'Hotel of the King's
_Household. All the Ambassadors and Envoys
of Foreign Powers will be present; as also all
the King's Ministers at present in Paris, with
the exception of M. de Villele.
M. the Marquess de Lascour, senior (by age)
of the French Generals,
has and
ust dof the Members
thi os
f
the Order of St. Louis, jeparted
life. He was 95 years of age.
The Ist battalion of 45th regiment of the line
has arrived at Toulouse from Rochelle.
A letter from Perpignan, dated the 3d, states,
-that the fortifying of the citadel commenced the

previous evening.
M. Nunez, ancient Aid-de-Camp of Genera
itiego, set off. on Monday evening, at half-past
ten o'clock, as an extraordinary, courier, with all
speed for Madrid. It is presumed that he has
been dispatched by the Spanish Ambassador,
and that the news of war, which has lately been
in circulation, has occasioned his sudden de-
parture. M. Nunez is knOwn for his devotion to
the Constitutional system, and the independence
of his country.—( (onstitutionnel.)
It is somewhat remarkable that the Spanish
.Bonds, which were on Saturday at 45 francs,
NV ere done, after 'Change hours, at 54 francs.
This rise is attributed to the now well authenti-
cated success of the Constitutional Armies.—
( Mem.)
It is already known that the Regency of Ur-
gel has negociated a loan with M. J. Ouvrard.
The amount is four millions of piastres.
The London Papers, of Saturday, November 9.
which have leached us by an extraordinary con-
veyance, mention.s great and sudden fall in the
Funds. The Three per Cent. Consols were 804.
PARIS, Nov. 12.—Hypocrisy is henceforth im-
possible ; all the masks are thrown off. The mo-
deration and justice of our adversaries were
known ; the events in Spain have discovered
-their prudence. They have a hundred times ac-
cused the Constitutionalists of trying to kindle,
by the most perfidious means, some foreign war,
because they had no chance of success but in
trouble and discord. Ardent defenders of reli-
gion, they were indignant at the mere thought
of the sword being drawn for the succour of a
'Christian nation, and their false devotion was
only the mask of their hatred of liberty ; they
were Turks in the East to defend more easily in
-France the cause of the ancient regime.
A distant war, in which we were not to inter-
fere, struck them with terror. France appeared
-to them all in flames ; and now a war at our fron-
tiers, which they pretend to undertake alone,
.does not cause them the smallest fear. This
contradiction is strong, but is very natural. In
Greece the question was to establish the inde-
pendence of a people; in Spain the object is to
destroy independence. National interests are
nothing for this party ; has it not proclaimed that
'it will combat the spirit of the age ? It is the
progress of knowledge which it desires to stop
by military violence.
The interest of the Government, which can
be no other than the interest of France, says,
protect commerce and agriculture ; but the oli-
garchy has no country ; it will suffer liberty in
no part of the world ; in making war against
Spain it defends privilege, because it knows that
equality in the eye of the law in a neighbouring
country may be dangerous here, for that which
•they are pleased to call their social superiorities.
The object is, it is said, to modify the Cotisti-
•tution of the Cortes ; and it is at the point of the
•bayonet amendments are to be proposed ; it is
with parks of artillery that true liberty is to be
carried into, Spain. Their interior divisions are
reckoned on we know, but will not the effect of
a foreign war be to unite the Cortes of 1812 with
the Cortes of 1820 ? Will not a common interest
merge all difference of opinion ? Are not the par-
.ties informed of what occurred at Naples and
Turin ? the experiences of all ages and
people be lost for them ?
• The war, therefore, will only rally all parties,
peace will calm passions which are only nourished
and irritated by resistance. We persist in main-
taining that the spectacle of France, happy in its
Constitutional Charter, in all its citizens, equal
in the eye of the law, enjoying their civil and
political rights, exercising without hindrance
'their profession or their industry, may effect
many more conquests in Spain than menacing
armies. The example of our institutions will be
more persuasive than the eloquence of our bayo•
nets.—(Constitutionncl.)
-We have been unfortunately too well able to
-judge, since these few days, of the immense losses
produced by the sudden reports of war. These
losses, estimated at not less than 200 millions
(francs,) would have been prevented by a few
lineS in the Moniteur. But if merely announcing
war has already produced such great misfortunes,
what will ho the effect when all its consequences
are felt in all the elements of public prosperity,
which all heed the support of capital which fear
• will withdraw from circulation ? Can commerce,
industry, and agriculture be carried on without
• capital ? What can they produce ? How can they
continue to exist with any vigour, if the great
.artery which circulates their vital fluid be para-
vsed ?
The commencement of war would have conse-
quences much more important than we now experi-
ence, or have been the result of any preceding wars
when the nation was not in that state of increase
which must decide at what degree of power it
:may ,arrive. It is not merely in the rentes and
public funds of foreign countries that the shock
. will be felt ; it will reach every sort of specula-
vtion ; the price of houses and land in the capital
...has already fallen, and the fall of rents will be
