Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a Rule to spew cause
why a Writ of Certiorari not be issued, to
remove to this Court, an indictmenrpreferred, clt
the Sessions for the County of Lancaster, against
the defrndant,' who was a Burgess in tins last
Parliament for the Borough of Thetford. De-
fendant, it appeared, had thought proper to make
some observations in his place 'in the House of
Commons, which afterwards found their way into
a • provincial newspaper. For these observations
it was, that the bill of indiement was preferred
and found by. the Grand Jury of the' County of
Lancaster.—Rule granted. • ,

AT.vcnoTE.—A hessian nobleman, Count Di-

Ministers and his lady, whose name 1 forbear to
mention, as nothing from my pen shall ever savour.
of the least ofknee towards her. During' the
' breilkfast, a jeweller, who worked for the family,
presented himself, and offered for sale a diamond
necklace and ear-rings, which he said he would
part with as a blrAaia, as theN' had been ordered
by a person who had lately held a situation under
Government, but since the order was given he had
been dismissed from his employ,. and was conse-
quently unable to pay for them. The necklace was,'
worth 30,000 livres in the trade, and 36,000 to
a wearer, but the Jeweller said he would sell it
fOr 24,090. The lady fancied it' very much, and
the husband offere: 18,000 for it, whick.the
jeweller declined taking. When the I,..itace,(j.
monds ivent aWay, die lady's disappointment.be- -
came greater, and she enressed very strditgly
her great chagrin at notpossessing the necklace.
The Russian soon left the house, and ran name-
-diately to the jeweller, whom he desired to carry
the necklace to the gentleman's where they met
in the morning, and sell it to him at the price
hq had offered for it, which , mzs. 18,000 livres,
and Dimithiffengaged himself to make up the
difference„ namely, G,OOO livres—an act of gal-
lantry purchaged at a cheap rate. 'lbis was done;
• the jeWeller went to the person on whom he
had waited in the morning, who was just getting
into his carriage to go to the Council u State.—
He took the necklace with-him, and paid the
jeweller'* money ;• the difference was paid by
I)imidoff, who immediately went to the lady, and
isformned her of what he had done. She was of
course &lighted at time intelligence, but what she
learnt a few days afterwards produced a sad re •
verse in her spirits. Her husband, it seems, had
shewn the necklace to one of his colleagues in the
Ministry, who took a fancy to it. They went
together to a jeweller to get if- valued, and the
necklace was again sold for 32,000 livres, which
left the original pm chaser a profit of 14,000
livres. .On his return home, he told his wife of
his day's work, and could not suppose that she
could have any objection to his gaining 14,000
livres. He was however mistaken—hysterics and
faintings followed—her. raze and disappointment
were ungovernable; and as women in general be-
tray thick own secrets; she, of course, let out all
she knew of the transaction, and she even told
her husband of the gallantry of the Russian No-
bleman. Report said that tile Minister was A-
rcady apprised, of Pimidoff's liberality towards
his wife, and consequenly thought it not unfair
to play off this trick upon her, especially as he
gained 11,000 livres by the transaction. if this
be true, it was indeed diamond cut diamond?—(An-

'ANTWERP, OCT. 27.—The courage andgene-
ro§ity of a young woman, who substituted her-
self for her, hrother, a conscript in 1806, and who
has just returned from the army, covered with
honourable, woands, is now the st;hject of much
conversation here. The story is true, and the
particulars de-Serve to be known. •
Virginia (.:hcsquicre, horn at Delmont, de-
partment of the North, district Of Lille, finding
.that her brother, who was ordered-to march, was
not in a condition to support the, fatigues of war,
and that he-was inclined to continue. his studies,
obtained from-her parents permission to depart
for him. They were twins, and • very much re-
sembled each other. • She presented belsell at the,
depot in the clothes of her brother, and was sent
to the '27th regiment.of the Ltie,„jn which she has
served_ six years. Mhe was raised to the rank of
serjeant at the battle of Iyagram, for having saved
the life of her Captain, who fell into the Danube,
and was. in danger of perishing. At the battle of
the 2d of May,. near Lisbon, where the Duke of
Abrantes commanded, her- Colonel being sur-
rounded by the enemy, she demanded six men
whom she could depend upon, with whom she
proceeded to his succour ; notwithstanding a gun-
shot wound which she received in her left Will,
she -succeeded
,in saving him, besides making two
insurgent officers prisoners. She also received on
this occasion a wound from a bayonet in the left
Ode, was carried to•the hospital of Almeida, and
thence to that of Burgos, where she was cured
of Mcr wound 'without her sex being discovered ;
but an illness has since betrayed it, and she has
just passed by the city of Coutrav, to go to het'
depot, to receive the recompense due to her va-
lour, and to ht.-:dec:4rated by the hand of the
•lond whom she saved with the honourable in-
signia due to the brave.--(French Paper)
