POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

111ANSION-LiOUSE.
Yesterday,, a number of bakers were brought
before the. Lord Mayor, charged with buying Hour
from the millers at an advance of 33.1)0 sack be-
yond the market price • and making correspond-
ing rettlrly4o-0 his Lordship, at the rate of 655.
when.the price was but 60s. sack. The Lord
Mayor said, it was impossible to regulate the,price
ofbread, while- such a system prev.siled. The
price must -be a bona Ale one, • and not 'Condi-
tional. This principle he was determined to ;Ict
upon, and punish the defaulters to the utmost ex-

tent. They were, at present fined, otil) in the mi-
tigated penalty of 20s. each.

GUILDHALL.

FORGED MOTU. —Yesterday W. Manner was
brought before the Sitting Magistrate (Sir JOHN
EAMER), charged with having in his possession
several forged Notes, purporting to be Notes of
the Bank of England ; and further, with utter-
ing the same, knowing them to be forged.
Mr. IZ AYt the Solicitor of the Bank, attended
the examination.

Joseph -Herbert deposed, that he keeps the
Plough Tavern in West Smithfield. On Friday-
evening, the prisoner, in company with two other
men, carne to his‘house, and asked for a glass of
rum and water. They drank it, and the prisoner
tendered a 1/. Note in 'payment. NVitness did
nor. like -the appearance of the party, and be
asked the prisoner to put his name on the Note.—
He accordingly took a pen, and wrote upon it,
'Morse.- Witness said if that was his real name, he
must,also beg of him to add his Christian one to it.
He then wrote John,' and witness' having given
him 19s. in change, part of which he marked, the
prisoner and his companions departed. The-note
he took from hint he also marked, and, having
strong suspicions of its genuineness, be employed
two or three • persons to watch the party .after
leaving his house ; while in the mean Time he went
himself in search of an officer. The prisoner and
his companions were closely followed, until they
arrived at the Gold House, Creiflen-lane, where
• they went in to ask for some more drink, and no
'doubt to change another note. At this moment,
the. Officer arrived with •Mr. Herbert, and upon
the approach of the former, the party recognised
him, and.two of them instantly made their escape.
The prisoner *as now observed putting his hands
towards his pockets, and presently . was.-seen
throwing a parcel ornotes upon the ',floor; He
was secured, and the notes latind on the ground
were marked by the Officer. The -Soliditor of,the
Bank proved the several. notes to be forgeries.
Upon being called upon for his defence, the
prisoner denied that he was the person who had
received the change of the note at the Plough ta-
vern ; neither 'were the notes found upon the
ground at the Gold-house, at all in his possession.
These farts,, hOwever, were contradicted by Mr,,
Herbert, the officer, and another witness. The
Solicitor then advised the prisoner, if he wished to
prove his assertions and innocence, be had better
make knOwn his companions. This the prisoner
at present declined doing and in order to allow
him time to consider the policy of making such a
discovery, as well as to enable the Solicitor of the
Bank to institute a proper investigation, the pri-
soner was remanded for another-examination.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday H. Dormer, a lad under 12 years,
was finally examined, charged with stealing a sil-
ver table spoon from a saucepan at the house of
M r. Maddison,Manor- placd, King's-road, Chelsea,
where he had been at work with Croft, a running
dustman.. In that part of Chelsea there. -is no
regtilar dustman ; and the pilsoner, wit 9 is a fa-
therless boy, was, employed by Croft. On -the
.2d of this month they were taking away dusdrom
the house of the complainant,,. a- silver spoon be-
ing left in a saucepan at the hack-door, the pri-
soner took it, and his mother next morning sold.
it for Bs. to Collive, -Watchmaker, Paradise-row,
Chelsea. Croft the dustman, and Collive who
bought the ,spoon, .attended, as ,well as Mrs.
Maddison ; she .expil!ssed a desire not to pfose-
cute prisoner, 0» acconnt Of his riuth ; but. the
Magistrate said it Wa2 her duty to proceed. Craft,
the boy's employer,- said he told him he fotind the
spoon in the dust.--He was fully committed.
HATTON-GARDEN.
Thomas 41exander, a tallow-chandler, from
Stoke Newington, -appeared to a summons, on in-
formation, charging— him• with a fraud /tit the
Excise, by his •delivering the officer a wrong de •
claration, wherein he stated, that the candles
spread were 20, instead of which, on examination,
they proved to be twenty-two. whereby he con-
cealed 360 candles from the officer. The defend-
ant pleaded hard in mitigation of the fine, alleg-
ing that the .offence was not. wilful. He was fined.
in the penalty of 51. and costs.

COPY or ii.LETTER FROM GENERAL D. LAVAYSSE TO

GENERAL PRTION.

" gston,
"GeNeaat.,—One of the Kinperior.sJamaica who enjoriy the
confidence of your Excellency, and with whom
General Hodgson had the goodness to m' ake me
acquainted at Curacoa, has already, without
doubt, apprised .you. of the object of my mission,
as well as of the paternal and „liberal intentions of
our beloved Monarch Louis the Eighteenth.
" You, General, are too much distinguished,
and are.of too dispassionate a mind, nut to ap.
predate and to Ertl the difference %Odell exists be-
tween the order of things fixed:by the restoration.
of Louis XVIII. and that wineh is now called
the ancient system, to wit, that which the des-
potic Government of Buonaparte laboured to esta•
Wish in France. ' •
To,deceive, in order to auk-in-gide, bad be-
come for ten years ,the great sit eret and. the prin.
cipal ItlcallS employed in the policy of that bate•
lid and perfidious usurper. Exterated by the,
whole world, ah:andoned by the companions of
his military glory, the fate of this demonizw, tat
it he liopeti, will for ever furnish a lesson to
those who exercise an illegitimate ant). precarious
power, and arc at the same time in possession of
their senses.
‘c It requires no great knowledge of public law
to enable us to perCeive the differeuce between the
constitutional form of Government existing in.
France, front any that has prevailed io that coun-
try since the year 170, •
present Change is not What emigrants
and rePuhlicans arc accustomed to call a Counter-
revolution ; the Bourbons have been long since
restored to tile Throne of France. The Kings of
Europe 'mule merit war, upon the .French people,
nor have their armies achieved the conquest of
our nation. The generous Alixander and his
Allies, Laving entered FranceF to revenge them-
selves on a delirious tyrant, themselves presented
a rallying point to a people long oppressed wider
the yoke of au extravagant and sanguinary des-
potism.
" It is under Alexander that the wise, able

and energetic characters, who have performed the
chief parts in our revolutionary, history, have
thought proper to enlist themselves. The Talley-
rands, the Dessolles, the Duponts, the Marmontss
the Neys, the Bournouvilles, &c. &c. after lao_
bouring through tweuty years of revolution in aciii
complishing the work of French liberty and'lnde
,pendence, are now the principal agents in tigttin
building up the fabric of 'our Monarchy on tha„,
bases of a free anti Representative Constitution :
this Constitution it is of which Louis the 18th has
a right to be considered the author and the com-
piler. - How powerfully, General, ought this cir-
cumstance to render -the name of its author dear
to every true friend of liberty. Of what ' happY
augery ought it not to be to our brethren of the,
Isle of Hayti. .
" Yes, General, it is- a philosophic gutg,
new Marcus Aurelius, a new Henry'l'F. tt'h° Is
now seated on the throne of France : believe me,
1 speak- not the language of flattery, 1 speak in
the voice-of truth, in the voice of my countrymen'

Louis the Eighteenth is a philosophical 167
