DEAUX.

Lieutenant-General Clausel quitted. Paris on
the 25th of March, in order to assume the com-
mand of the llth Military Division.
Already as far al. Att,,,,ouleme and beyond it, he saw the
tri-coloured flag flying every where, and throughout his pro-
gress every one appeared eager to manifest his joy and his
devotion to the Emperor.
Ile arrived at Angouleine on the 27th, and remained there
td hob's, in order to inform himself of what was 'passing at
Boutdcanx, from whence couriers no longer arrived, and to
transmit orders and intelligence to the brigades, which were
stationed in or near the route be was about to take.

They were still igndrant of the state of things, and acted
under the influence at Bonrdeaux.

. But when they were informed of what bad really taken
place, they sent to know the commands of General Clansel,
and a number of these troops assembled at La Grolle to aug-
ment his escort.

At eleven at night, on the ,29th, the General arrived at La
Grolle.

lie 'learned during the night, that 22 Gendarmes, under
the Command Of Baylin, Chef d'Escadron, had been sent from
BOurdeant towards Angoulen►e, in order to clear the road,
and that they had advanced as tar as INlOlieu..

General Clausel resolved to go to them in person ,he saw
and spoke to them, and the consequence was that they joined
his force, and induced all the National Guards in all the ad-
jacent villages to do the same.
On the 30th, General Clausel lay at Cavignac ; he there
learned that about 200 volunteers called " Bourdeaux Roya-
lists," occupied St. Afidre-de-Cubsac, with 2 pieces of canr
During his stay at Angouleme, General Clausel dispatched
_Couriers to the Prefects of the Departments of the Gironde;'
Landes, and the Lower Pyrenees' to inform them of the
.change that had taken place, and of the order of his Ma-
jesty's Government..
The Adjutant Commandant, Laval, an officer of great in-
telligence and activity, set out front his rciidence at Angou-
!eine, to enlighten the garrison of Nape, and state the
ordeis of General Clausel.
He quitted Angouleme the 28th, at two in the morning.
He rook a circuitous route through a country still under the
undue influence at Bourdeaux, but of which the inhabitants
were generally well disposed. He got to Blaye at nine on the
night of the 23th.
The gates were opened at the name of the Emperor, shout;
of joy resourolvd from the people and the garrison, the na-
tional colours were unfurled every wherein the naurniag taf

LADY MARY FITZGERALD.

A melancholy and_ fatal accident occurred on
S:iturday evening last to Lady MARY FITZGERALD,
RI her house, in Charles-street, Berkeley-square,
about a quarter past nine o'clock. Her maid left
her to get her supper ; she had just began when
the bell rung, and she heard a violent scream ;
she immediately ran up stairs, and when she got
to the hall, saw a great-light on the stair-case.—
It instantly struck her that her Ladyship was on
fire ; send slte.accordingly called to two male ser-
vants who happened to he in the house, who took
up tlie hall mot ran into the drawing-room, and
found her Ladyship's clothes all in flames. They,
put the mat ronnd her, hut it had not the desired
effect ; they then got water and extinguished it..
Her. Ladyship was quite sensible the,whole time,
as she frequently called for more water.—She was
put-to bed, and lingered in great 'pain till half
past six o'clock yesterday morning, When she ex-
pired. Her Ladyship was in her 90th year, but
very strong and active for her age. She was
aunt to the present Duchess of DEVONSHIRE, to
tine Countess of LIVERPOOL-, Earl of BRISTOL,
Earl MutGAvE, Hon. General PHIPPS, and Hon.

PUBLIC PERFORMERS.

PLATTS V. BARRETT.
This was an hction of much importance to Prod
prietors of Theatres, &c. as well as to the Musical
Profession generally. The plaintiff has been
performer at Vauxhall Gardens several years, }.lO
though engaged solely for his personal attendance,
had, at a variety of times, in common with other
performers, absented hinistlf on the nights °i
performance, and sent another person as his de,
puty or substitute to do, his duty. The proprie:
tor, theiefore, finding it, necessary to checkthigr'
growing evil, soon after the commencement (4
the last Vauxhall season, made a regulation, scat,
ing, that any performer who should hereaftel
send a deiiuty, should.only receive half the salarY'
he had heretofore been paid, for every night be,
should continue this practice. • The plaintiff re'
fusing to comply with this. regulation, was car,
missed, and this action was brought for the ree'r.
very of 101. 10s. alleged to be due to him for 1115.
services for the rentainder of the seniun, on the
%
following grounds, viz. that the proprietor was
not justified in making such a regulation after the,
-season bad Commenced; and secondly, that
.custom of the place warrauted him in sendingt
substitute: whenever he thought proper. The I\°'
ble and Learned Judge was clearly of.opinion
that the proprietor was justified in dischargil •
any performer Who should absent himself. fr°'
his duty, for even a single night, without peroP.s:,
slop of the proprietor or manager. His LordsWs
observed, that the plaintiff was doubtless engege
for his own perSonal service,-and not that of a°,;
other person. .In consequence'of LordsbiPa
observations, the plaintiff was non-suited, I'l,
hence this false plea of custom fell to the rout'''.
, g • tit
to try the merits of wnicn, was the sole object
the defendant in this action.

CAREOL V. DE TASTET.

Mr. ATToaNEy-GE(NF.FIAL moved for a new trial.
in this case. He stated that it was a question of
great , importance to the commercial .world,
be-
sides that manyihousand pounds ;depended on the
present cause. - •
The CatlsC was .tried at'the 'Sittings after last.
Term at GUildhall. It Was an action by the as.;
signees of Messrs. Parry and Latham, broker's, to
recover from the, defendant a quantity of West
India produce, which hail been transferred to La-
tham, as he contended, fraud ule utly, a :id by a votun-
lary pieferenee, in contemplation of bankruptcy.
T- e facts were'. that Mr, De Tastet employed
Latham and Parry to buy Vest India produce
for him, which they did, and as Parry told
hint, wa3 in the docks in his name: 'lt appear
'ad that a Mr. Mardell heard . that De Tastet
held his acceptance for several thbusand pounds
knowing that his house had no such acceptance
outstanding, he called on De Tastet and desired
to see the bill. D T.astet declined :hewing it to
him, and said it was the acceptance of another
house ;- but this Mr. Mardell insisted .could not' be
the case, as there iris no house of the same Chris-
tian and surname. De Tastet then sent for Parry,
and it turned out that the acceptance was forged ;
upon which- De Tastet exclaimed—" Where are
any sugars, my rums, and my coffee 1.--Parry
said they were all safe in the Docks. De Tastet
immediately, sent his broker, and made, Parry
transfer them all into his name. Parry immedi-
ately absconded, and thereby committed all act of
bankruptcy. The question was, whether the
transfer obtained from Parry, with a halter about
his neck, was not a compounding of felony, and
was available against the creditors of the estate
of Latham and Parry.
The Court said, there was nn evidence that
Party was promised an indemnity for keeping this
transfer, and aS the transfer seas (made before any ,
act of bankruptcy by Latham and- Parry, at the
pressin, instance of a creditor,: it could not be
considered as a fraudulent and- voluntary prefer-
ence.—Ruie refused.
