CURIOUS CASE.
.lames Alfred Falconer was put to the bar on as
indictment charging him with stealing,in the month
of September last, two armlets and an eye-glassi
value 101., the property of Maria Brown, in the
dwelling-house of Elizabeth Brown. The pri-
soner was in the habit of visiting the prosecutrik
and her sister, at their residence in Princes"-
street, Westminster, and availed himself of the
opportunity afforded him for taking the property.
On the following day the prisoner was met by
the Misses Brown, who told him of what had
taken place. lie then denied having purloined
the property, and went into a house, whither he •
was followed by two Officers, who took him into
custody. The prisoner received ti most excellent
character, and the Jury found him—Not Guilty:

[UORNING Port.]
The Pilots or Tuesday has reached us sitter
our last. It adds but little to the important in.
telligence which we communicated yesterday.
Iturnoure of other Ministerial changes continued
to prevail in the French capital, but nothing was
certainly known except the removal of the
Duke of Helium) from the War Department,
which excited no less surprise than the appoint,.
silent of l3aron Damns us his successor. The
Sudden rise of the latter from the condition of
anobscure General of Division to the rank of
ts Peer of France and the station of a Minister,
was not considered to be sufficiently accounted
ter by the only service which he rendered during
the course of the late war, the capture of Briga-
dier Fernandez uutl his party. It %YRS not known,
However, what other qualifications could have
been found in , him to entitle him to so &stin-
k/lulled and unexpected an honour,, and the go.
'oral. wonder seemed disposed to settle into
alt unanimous opinion that he owed his nomi.

tfOns, had in view. 'rite dismissal of the Duke

Christianity could have been about to have chosen
such a vile spot on which to build a prison. We
wonder what Mr. Wilberforce has been doing all
this while that ho has not been to look at the
place, and to give us a parliamentary speech
regarding it. To be shut up in, a prison
like this, surrounded as it is by a broad ditch
of offensive green water) is almost as bad
as being shut up in a ship for the convey-
ance of slaves from Africa to the West Indies.
We would recommend Mr. Wilberforce the next
time be gets into his carriage to take the benefit
of the fresh air, to order his coachman to drive to
this unwholesome fen. It would give is great
pleasure to hear that Mr. Wilberforce, like Mrs.
Fry, was interesting himself as much with respect
to his fellow Christians at home as he interests
himself with regard to his fellow human creatures
in Africa.

[N TI AM]
The retirement of the Marshal Duke de Bel-
lune from office is an event which may naturally
be expected to give rise to much political specu-
lation, and we are therefore not surprised to find
the liberal Papers announcing it as only one of a
series of Ministerial changes ; but to this intima-
tion we are not disposed to give implicit credit.
For the present, at least, we shall consider it as
a separate measure. Personally considered, the
Noble Marshal is rather a gainer than a loser by
exchanging the labours of the War Department for
the splendour of a high diplomatic station at Vienna;
but the change is not to be estimated by personal
considerations only : the great question is, whe-
ther the change can be regarded as indicating
any variation in the politics of the French Ca-
binet. Assuredly France is deeply indebted to
the Duke de Bellune. The late Duke de Feltre
very assiduously laboured to give the French
Army a Royalist organization. He succeeded ;
but his whole work was undone by the
miserable manceuvres of Decaze. The Duke de
Bellune restored the Army to its former state
of loyalty, and happily frustrated the hopes of
those who mattered themselves that it would raise
the standard of rebellion at the beginning of the
Spanish wur. This service ought never to be for-
gotten ; and for our own part we must own we
see the Marshal quit the War Department with
regret. Perhaps indeed his health may require
some relaxation of labour; for though he is only
.57 years of age, yet the numerous and severe
wounds he has sustained may probably have
weakened a naturally strong constitution. On
the other hand, there are persons who may
suspect that the elevation of the Baron de Dames
to the Ministry has been brought about by Russian
influence. Ile is a young officer, not above 36 years
of age, and if we are rightly informed, he lived a
great part of his life in Russia. The family of Da-
mes Indeed is very highly distinguished, both for
their rank and services. The Duke de Dames-
Crux, and the Counts Charles, Roger, and
Alexander de Dames, have all followed an ho-
incurable military career, devoted to the cause of
Royalty. What relation the Baron is to these
distinguished personages we do not precisely
know, but their sentiments of loyalty he un-
doubtedly shares; for he has not only displayed
great valour in the present Spanish war, but
she wed equal devotedness in the short but heroic
campaign of the Duke d'Angouleme in the South
of France during the rebellion of the Hundred
Days.

[Till TIMIS.]
The French Papers which arrived In the course
of yesterday poises. a great degree of interest.
The Accounts from Spain are such as we expected
are even Inclined to say, such as we had
wished.' Ferdihand' is doing the business of the
Constitutionalists. But as he works like
traitor, in thb hope of destroying that cause
which in reality he is serving, it is not impro-
bable that he may at last meet with a traitor's
reward. The natural pride and cruelty of his
disposition,heightetted and sanctioned by religious
and political fanaticism, are exercising their full
sway. The unjust sentence of deportation 'from
a territorial circle of thirty lesgues diameter,
of which Madrid is the centre, pronounced by
the tyrant (it is computed) against fifteen thou-
sand of the most respectable men. in Spain, has
filled the capital with affliction and dismay inex-
pressible. The proscribed are hastening to ob.
tali' their passports ; and France, it is thought,
will be the. place of exile to many of them
—France, from whence, about thirty years
ago, the most distinguished inhabitants were
in like manner flying in all directions, to preserve
their lives from the fury of popular insurrection !
Let these new emigrants, with the example of
the old ,before them, consider, when they ap.
proach the barrier of the two countries, whether
it would not be better to stay and fight, than to
fly and starve. Spain is, in truth, tt this moment,
more in alevolutionary state than at any preced-
ing period since 1890. There are reports in Paris
of various kinds, having reference to gngland.
First it is asserted, that we have made a positive
iiemattd upon the King of Spain of the debt due to'
us, witha threat, that if it is not liquidated, we shall
pay ourselves, Our Government demanded the debt
ektainly, at the beginning of the war, when
,we
thought the application not very well timed; and
theuelt we do not at present augur any great pro-
bability of getting paid, we do not see any harm
hi temindiug a King of no very strict moral prin.
ciples, and upon whom his last benefactors may
lie disposed,to urge the,consideration of their ser-
vices, or to press for a participation of their bur-
dens, that his Majesty, has prior claimants. It is
also said, that several Hoglish officers of rank have
set sail,,by the way of Jamaica, to South America,
it is implied no doubt.witit the privity of their Go-
vernment and the object must be to organize resist.
once to any attempt that may be made by Spain or
her allies for the recovery of herancient provinces.
' The
,departure of these persons is, said to have
excited a sensation in London,"--we were not
aware ,of it!---and thata Council of the. French.
Ministers had been held on these demenstrations
of ours. We think it not improbable that the Bri.
tish.Ministers have just virtue enough to be in
humanr pith the result of the warondtefeel some
ltelf.reproach that they _could, take stres..to
ipre yen pai It from becoming a province of frit; ce.
t is no merit of theirs_ thst tho:possesSion is an

useless one to the possessors.---And if such be
the present temper of our Ministers, their inward
dissatisfaction is not likely to be much calmed
by certain other rumours which we have heard.
It is said that a treaty is contemplated between
France, Spain, and Portugal, for the recovery of
the South American provinces of the two latter
powers. (Why not pledge themselves also to reco-
ver Canada for the French?) Should this alliance,
however,take place,even without the last parenthe-
tic condition, England, we apprehend, will come
more nearly in contact with the high Allies than
ever heretofore. If Spain, for example, has any
money to advance for the accomplishment of
the objects of this treaty, she has money to
pay us in the first instance. If Spain has
no money for either purpose, but engages
to indemnify France for her exertions, by the
consignment of one of the Trans-Atlantic States,
it is clear those States are not now Spain's to
consign. The attack of France upon any one of
them would be the most unprincipled aggression
of modern times—more atrocious than even her
recent invasion of Spain ; for in the Spanish Pe-
ninsula there may have been a party base enough
to call in foreign aid, but no such call ever has or
can be made upon France from the South
American States.

PREIS.J
Ferdinand, and the wretches by whom he is
surrounded, seem determined to force Spain into
universal resistance, by a system of tyranny so
horrible, that even the most moderate cannot
hold back.

" There is a novideace that shapes our ways,
Rough-hew them as we will."
Spain may become free, from general detestation
to this monster, even after she failed in defending
her liberties against foreign force. The tyrant is
now running wanton in power : decree follows
decree, with the rapidity of lightning, and his lists
of proscription are swelled into thousands. A decree
of the 4th, dated from Xeres, exiles from Madrid
all who have exercised any civil ormilitary employ-
ment during the revolution. This s weeping proscrip-
tion, it is estimated, will involve 15,000 of the most
respectable inhabitants of Madrid ; and a further
decree of the execrable tyrant's is spoken of,
levelled against some of the first families in Spain,
doomed to banishment, some from the capital
and others from Spain. Among them are the
Dukes of Medina Celi (the largest proprietor in
Spain), Altamira, and Abrantes ; the Count of
Onate, the Duchess of Benevento; the Marquisses
of A lcaniz, of Santa Cruz, of Villa Saterne, of Villa
Franca ; and the Prince of Anglona : of these
(with the addition of the Duke del Marque,
a Member of the Cortes to its last hour), the
Prince of Anglona, the Marquis of Alcabiz,
and the Duke of Abrantes, will, it is said, be
banished the Kingdom. Thousands, in rouse-
quence of the Xeres decree, were applying for
passports to quit Madrid. Will they carry
content and obedience to the perfidious tyrant
with them into the provinces, half of which are
already in arms? or can his satellites think free-
dom will be crushed by repeated blows of this
sort throughout Spain ? As well might the soli-
tary traveller attempt to stifle Etna in flames with
an extinguisher, or calm the earthquake beneath
hire by stamping with his feet on the agitated
earth. It is clear Angouleme never could have
remonstrated with the tyrant, or he would not
have rushed at once on such a career. The Duke
is said to have had a second interview with
him soon after his quitting St. Mary's.—
According to the Doll* it was " the most
moving timing possible." Ferdinand,it appears,can
even weep. The Dissembler has crocodile's tears
at command, and he probably dropped a few in
the presence of Angouleme. How many tears
will not the monster's tyranny cost half Spain!
The troops of Ballesteros appear to have been
every thing but in open revolt. They tore down
the acical notice posted at Ombra of the sur-
render of Cadiz, and its Occupation by the French
troops. Ballasteros (Sykes says) spread among
them the Proclamation which Ferdinand signed
at Cadiz previous to his liberation, and the troops
profited by this document to dare and threaten
the Royalists. The army of Ballasteros is
still several thousand strong ; if they conti-
nue together, they must prove a most dan-
gerous array against the new order of thing,"
and disbanded (if they submit) they will
be almost equally so. Ferdinand seems to be
daring fate, and urging ruin to rush upon him ;
every measure of his is calculated to provoke
hatred and resistance. There has been a change,
as we announced yesterday, in the Ministry
of France ; in addition to Victor's retirement
from the War Ministry, Corbiere is, it appears,
to succeed the Count de Clermont Twitters
as Minister of Marine, and the Ministry of
the Interior is to be filled by the Verona nego-
cis tor, the Duke de Montmorency : these changes
will cause none in the policy of the French
Cabinet ; its career wilt be the same. Great re-
joicings are in reserve for Angoulerno's return to
Paris. The degradation of Spain is to be cele-
brated with unexampled festivity and pomp.—
But that country is yet far from subjugated.
Though Cadiz opened its gates, and the Cortes
are no more, the decrees of the emancipated
tyrant are calculated to unite all parties in
general resistance through the country ; and
every fresh account is full of discontent) and an-
ticipates a protractioi struggle and a sanguinary
winter throughout Spain. In fact, its inhabitants
have now no manner of surety but in a recourse
to arms.

POPULATION OF PARIS.

(rnou 11XCIIIRCIISS STATISQUXS BUR LA VILLZ DX
rikutb, &C. ST TUX COURT 718 CUAIDIOL.)

Paris, which under Louis XIV. contained but
530,000 inhabitants, had In 1817, according to a recent census,
713,000; up to 1020 it must have increased 30,040 more. The
estimate of Mr. Necker in 1798, which stated it at 800,000
souls, must have been exaggerated ; if one may determine ac-
cording to the tables of births and deaths, it cannot be at the
utmost more than 850,000.

The total number of births registered at Paris for a cen-
tury from 1710 to 1810, is 1,931,897, and the total of deaths
1,935,579. The last census of the population of Paris, taken
in 1817, makes the number of inhabitants amount to 713,986.
In the first twenty years of the last age, commending from
1710, the mean number of annual births was about 18,000 ; in
the next twenty years about 18,500 ; from 1750 to 1770 about
19,000 ; from 1770 to 1790 and 20,000 ; and from 1790 to
1810, 21,000.

If the total of inhabitants might 'he taken as exact!! pro_
portionable to the mean number of births, one might calculate
thereby the progressive increase in Its population. Here we
observe, that the mean number of births are augmented in the
capital, in the interval of a century, only a sixth, namely, an
eighteenth in the first 50 years, and two eighteenths in the 50
following years. But there are particular epochs, political and
physical causes, which bring about a most extraordinary accu.
mulation.

• 4
Thus Paris in 1794 was encumbered with people who fled
from the violence: committed in the provinces to conceal them-
selves in the crowd of the capital.
The inspection of the Tables since 1745, relative to the dis-
tinction of the sexes, shows that the births of Males has always
surpassed those of girls. Out of this calculation must be ex-
cluded the foundlings (Er ans trouves), more girls being sent
from the country to the public Hospitals than boys, who are
often retained as objects of preference by their parents.

Thus the total number of children not abandoned by parents,
and registered since 1745 up to 1821, is 1,121,462 :' of whom
573,700 are boys, 647,760 girls. So that there have been 21
girls born to 22 boys.
The distinction a; to births of natural children is not corn.
menced in the tablet of this work, The number of those born
in 1006 were 8282 ; in 1815, 0902 ; in 1021, 9176. The mean
annual number in the interval between 1806 and 1021 inclusive,
is 8600.

The number of children abandoned, known under the title
of Enfant it-anvil, has rapidly augmented since the commence-
ment of the last century but one. It has undergone, alter-
nately, different variations. We will first compare the number
of those children to the number of annual births : since 1710
up to 1730 they reckon to nine new born children one aban-
doned ; from 1730 to 1750 they count upon one in three ; from
1750 to 1770 upon one in four nearly ; froM 1790 to 1810 one
nearly in four. We will finish those observations on births by
some particulars of the years 1819, 1820, and 1821 :—.

The mean result of births each. month during the three years
is as follows :—March 2330, January 2156, April 2154, Fe-
bruary 2092, May 2001, August 2928, July 2025, October
2014, September 2013, December 2000, November 1973,
June 1916.

The menu number of annual marriages from 1710 to 1729 has
been 4,249 ; front 1730 to 1749, 4,167 ; from 1750 to 1759,
4,435 ; from 1790 to 1810, 5,291... In the thirty last years of
the 17th century the proportion of births to marriages was about
4 4-sths or 5 marriages to 24 births. This 'proportion has con-
tinually been diminishing s it was from 1710 to 1750, 4 2-sths ;
from 1750 to 1790, 4 1-10th; and since that time it is become
as low as 4 less I,loth. We must not conclude from these re-
sults that the fruitfulness of mariages has diminished since
1700, for it was in this interval of time that the law relative to
divorce remained in full effect.

It requires much attention to draw rightly moral consequences
from these data. For example; the number of foundlings
augmented rapidly in the latter years of Louis Fifteenth's
reign ; the number on the contrary was reduced more than
two-thirds under the Convention, and again was considerably
augmented under the Imperial Government. It remains sta-
tionary since the Restoration. What are the causes of these
variations ?—There are•probably circumstances connected with
the manner in which the 'rabies are formed, which ought to be
explained.
In proportion as useful knowledge is spread and operates on,
the actions of the Administration, great mortalities in the capi-
tal are become more rare: a snore uniform order has taken
place in the number of annual deaths. The changes are not
so sudden or so extended as they were before. One perceives
that towards the commencement of the eighteenth century the
annual number of deaths ha. changed in the interval of eight
years from 13,40 to 29,00 ; and in general we tind on these
occasions very considerable varieties in the number of
deaths. Rigorous winters dearthe, epidemic complaints, want
of care And medicine, he unwholesome state of bosptals
and places of abode, produce at times melancholy and rapid
effects.

The most enlightened and humans views have directed the'
atlininistration of public.assiatance,oxtheseoccasions. Thegeneral disposition of mind sod the progress of industry have
brought about the happiest changes. The mean number. of
annuaLdeaths, always variable from.being subject. to certain;
widely different causes, is, again;rsturned to its mean value or.
proportion, which had progressively improved. it may now
differ either more or leis, as far as the fifteenth part of that'
value; and towards the end of the eighteenth century the dif-
ference was not unfrequeatly a fourth, a third, and might per.
baps have been a half.
The total number of deaths registered since 1745 is
1,540,910 ;• namely, 816,911.4.triajes and 731,938.fema1e5. The
proportion of these numbers to each other differs as little as 28,
to 25,' but the experience of later yeari thews us that this an.
nual proportion may differ widely titan hs mean value and be.'
come less than unity.
From 1710 to 1729, the mean number of annual deaths was
17,674'; from 1730 to 1749, 19145 ; from 1730
•to 1789,19118 ;
from 1770 to 17119 it was 10,333; and froirt-1790 to 1809finclu.
sive it was 21,536.
Those states of population which embrace more than
1.300,000 deaths ought to indicate with sufficient exactness the
respective number of deaths in each Beason and fur each month.

1760 and 1788,- the Parisians may learn what are the 'seasons
and months when they haver:lost to fear the unavoidable visits
