[PRIVATE leETTER, (fated Puri:, Oct. 184

" A scene, of which

about ten years, has just taken place,

the Public • —An actor
of the devout, and to the scandal of .
we havehad
cc of apoplexy. He
ed by the Public, died a few days since of
and very wax an honest man, a good father of a family,
of the name of Phillippe, a man of some talents, and esteem-
in
cha-
ritable. Though not rich, he hail often given considerable
alms to the parish. 'This morning he was to he buried ac-
cording to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, and it
seems • that the Priests of the Church of St. Laurent, where
the funeral ceremonies were to be performed, accepted yestet-
day evening the sum of 400 francs as the price of the service.
But when the funeral reached the church door, the friends
nail attendants, who were pretty numerous, were informed, to
their great astonishment, that the body of a man who,.as a Ce-
median, had been under tke general ex-communication pro-
nounced against those of his profession, could not be received
within the sacred walls. Such an obstacle, sad brought for.
ward in such it manner, excited general indignation among the
crowd. Some cries. of ' Down with the Priests' were heard.
The friends and colleagues of the deceased 'immediately took
the coffin on their shoulders, and vmeeeded to the Tuileries,
intending to demand justice of the King. But they had scarcely
reached the Boulevard of Mont-Martre when they were stop-
ped by gendarmes on horseback, who, however, allowed a de-
putation to go to the King. At the expiration of three guar-
ters,of ttri hour,the deputation came out ; it was said that the
King had given the order solicited, and sonic persons cried
' fire le Rol !. The proceasion turned back ; the hearse in
which the coffin was Teplaced was surrounded by gendarmes on
foot and on horseback, who conducted the mortal remains of
poor Philippe, not back to the church, but to the burying ground
of Pere la Chaise, without allowing it to receive those funeral
honours which are not denied to the greatest criminals. The
crowd loudly expressed their indignation. They were not
allowed to enter the burying ground. As the hearse was going
in, other priests in their surplices came out : they had accom-
panied seine privileged corpse to its last abode. They were
received with laming' and cries resembling the croaking of a
raven. When the burial was finished, the gendarmes dispersed
in small paaCescivlio were pursued by the mob, and pelted with
mud anti stones. , It is affirmed that the King was not at the
Tuileries."

ROBBERY OF THE MAIDSTONE BANK PARCEL.

MANsiometiOtiso. During yesterday and
Wednesday Mr. Bnowx, the Marshal, and same of the most
active officers of this establishment, were occupied in tracing
the operations of the parties who on Monday morningstole the
parcel containing 13,0001. is cash and notes belonging to
Messrs. Edmonds, of the Maidstone Bank. The thievesehad
not laid any regular plan to obtain it, anti the whnle appears
to have been what is called a " chance thing." Five thieves,
who are well known' as 'professors of the lower kind of
" illicit appropriation," such as stealing pocket-handker-
snuff:.boxes, &c. had been to some of the fairs be-
yond Maidstone, far the purpose of shaking the country-
men, and after having done some business amongst the flats
of Kent, they determined to return to London speedily, "in
order 'to avoid any disagreeable interviews with the police
officers, who were expected from the metropolis upon bit.
siness at the Quarter Sessions. 'They took places on the
outside of 'the Maidstone coach, which leaves at five
o'clock in 'the morning, but they formed two parties, and
appeared. to be strangers. The coach was filled inside with
gentlemen of Maidstone, of well-known respectability...-
Just before the time of departure, which was protracted
more than a quarter of an hour, a gentleman who was
standing with two other inside passengers, observed the par-
cel of the Maidstone Bank upon the counter, and remarked
it is an instance of extraordinary negligence, to leave parcel
of such value so exposed. It happened that some of the
-London thieves overheard the-conversation, and-they took the
unintended hint. In a moment a plan was put in operation t'
capture the parcel. Three were in the coach. The first object
was to get the three gentlemen who were conversing away
from the coach office door. The three men on the coach
effected this by pretending a quarrel about the loading,
which threatened something serious. Still the.fiook-keenerwas
in the office, and he
.wits to be got out before the parcel could
be touched. They raised a dispute, and called for him out
to settle it; he being the only person near the parcel, the two
fellows who were in the yard made the best use of the opporto..
nity. One of them stood at the door to conceal 'what was
going forward, whilst the other whipped.behind him, seized,
and secreted the parcel under a great coat which he wore,
and unobserved got out of the office into the street. On
going back, ithe consternation of the book-keeper on not
discovering the parcel may be imagined. So cleverly
had the project been executed, that ,the man who -had
got hold of the booty was not suspected, until his place
was discovered to be vacant. This person was a stout
middle-aged „man, with a drab great-coat upon him, and
he was afterwards traced on the road to Colchester. The people
at the coach-office believing that he had committed the rob.
bery, did not suspect that his accomplices were so near. The
coach was therefore permitted to proceed to London, and in-
formation of the robbery was sent off by express, aad the City
Marshals were applied to-aid in the pandit of the robbers.....
Mr. Brown soon ascertained the chatacters of five of the passen-
gers to be such as is 'described, and complete information -as to
the circumstances were soon obtained. Front the active exer.
tions made to stop the bills and notes, not more than three or

FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 22, 1824.

,There are letters in town from Greece, fully
confirming the account of the destruction of the
Egyptian fleet, and the complete arrangement of
the differences between the lonian Government
and the Greek Government. We understand that
tl►e Greeks found.on.bonrd the frigate, which they
captured from the 'Egyptians and Turks in the
last eugugetneut a large quantity of treasure.

Boston Papers to the 22d September have ar-
rived. A vessel, which left Carthegena on the
15111 August, has arrived at Charleston, but
did not Wine airy trews .from the South
American continent. The 'latest accounts from
Peru state that Lima was still in possession of
the !loyalists; and that the•respectire positions
of BuLt vs.a and GANTtntAC remained unaltered.

Lettcrs have been this day received from Per-
nambuco, bearing date the 19th August. Lord
COCIIIIANE, it is said, had arrived off that
,port,
and is closely blockading it.

It is rumoured that the new Spanish "LOAD just
contracted for at Paris, is guaranteed by Russia,
but we attach little credit to the report.

The more the contemplated design of -remov-
even
ing three-fourths of the French troops from Spain
is considered, the more dangerous will it appear.
It certainly will tend to curb the fury of the
Royalists, who seem inclined to practice murder
by wholesale, supported by the bigotry of their
ICING ; but a terrible re-action on the part of the
Constitutionalists may ,be expected the moment
are released from the controul of the
gii:keyarmy.-As to tho KING himself, he !sae
a total disregard to justice, common
gratitude, to those who
that he can expect uo mercy from
the Revolutionists. But not only by his feel-
ings has he shewn himself wholly unworthy of
a Throne, but by the want of those faculties which
might entitle.-him to the respect of a People,
even it he had not displayed such an utter desti-
tution of all moral pretensions. He has, there-
fore, full reason to implore for the continuance of
the French troops ice his country, as they indeed
may be said to constitute his chief protection from
the vengeance of his injured and insulted subjects.

Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning.—Thy
