POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

Dow-STnEET—Yesterday Charles Hall Was brought up by
Duke and Jennings, two of the patrol, charged with violently
assaulting the former while in the execution of his duty, at the
fire in New-street, Covent-garden.—He was ordered to give 2.4
hours notice of hail for his appearance at the Sessions.
George Payne was also charged with en assault upon Bond,
jun. one of the patrol, at the fire.—He expressed great con-
trition, and was suffered to arrange the matter privately with
Bowl. .

Mr. Brown, the Secretary to the Westminster Fire Office;
stepped forward and said, he felt it his duty to state that he was
upon the spot soon after the fire broke out, and saw a multi•
tude of thieves in a very short time collected together, who-en-
deavoured to force their way into several of theatijoining houses,
where there was much valuable property, anti would have
succeeded, but for the prompt anti determined interference of
die Bow-street pOlice. lie felt pleasure in bearing testimony
to their excellent conduct. It was impossible that men could,
render more eflicient service than they did upon this occasion.
31r, am extremely glad to find that our officers
have so conducted themselves as to merit such an eulogium.
The best reward they can earn is the commendation of the,.
public.
MARLBonouou-STREET.—lfannah Ingram was brought
up yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Conant, charged •
with having stolen a rug.
Mr. John Dimmock, of High Holborn, linen-draper, &c:
stated, that on Monday afternoon, about for o'clock, his shop
was much crowded, when the prisoner was observed by some of
his customers to enter it and remove the rug, which was after.
wards traced.

Two of the unfortunate woman's daughters were in. the office
during the examination, who informed the 31agistrate that their
mother was addicted to drinking; and they felt assured that she
could not have been guilty of the crime with which she was
charged, but from the miserable intluence of liquor.
Several of the prisoner's friends, likewise highly respectable,
were particularly solicitous on the daughters' account. They
all gave the prisoner an excellent character. excepting her toe►
frequent inebriation.—The Magistrate said he felt it his duty
to commit the prisoner for trial.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)

" The frigate 'La Flora sailed on the 4th of this month _from

the roads of the Isle of Aix, ha Ling under its ,care eleven mer-
chit:it:nen bound to the Antilles : they will find there other
-vessels of the Royal Navy which will bring them back to

France.

",The gabnre La Pantlare sailed at the same time as.the
convoy. It conveys to the Isle of Goree M. Hugon, Capitainc

-de fregate, who is appointed to the government of that island.

" At the end of last month, the brig of war La Vigilante,
having been sent from La Rochelle, to convey to Bayonne 16
merchantmen, met with on the way 24 other vessels, bound to
. the same port : she added them to her convoy, and after con.
ducting-them to Bayonne, took charge of six vessels that sailed
from that port. She arrived in the roads of Aix yesterday.
.Th 6 Vigilante did not •see . a .single privateer. She ,met with
a great number• of our merchantmen going to Bayonne and
coming from that port : they all proceeded on the voyage with
,the greatest eecurity.—(llconiteur.)

We read in the .Constitutionnel of yesterday
morning—" It is stated," says the Etude," that
a Peer of France goes to Madrid, in the charac-
•of Ambassador—Ambassador to whom P'

"We know not whether the appointment be
true, but supposing it so to be, we shall reply to
the Cunstitutionnel.—" To the same authority to
.which were sent the Ambassadors of the different

Powers, during the first captivity of Ferdi-
nand V I 1."----(Journal des Dtbate.)
It was yesterday reported on 'Change, that
the Marquis de Taiaru, Peer of France, was
gone, or was about to set out for Spain, on an
extraordinary mission. This is probably what
the evening journal meant in speaking of a Peer
of France who was to repair to Madrid as Am-
tassador. The Marquis de Talaru is a grandee
of Spain.—(Constitutionnel.)

POSTSCRIPT OF A LETTER FROM BAYONNE,DATXD SLAY 4.

At the moment of sending my letter to the post-office, I am
assured that couriers from Seville arrived at the Prince's head-
quarters yesterday morning, which leaves no doubt of a nego-
eiation. We form moat sincere.wishes for its favourable issue.
Journal de Paris.)
" We are assured •that M. de Martignac is gone to Seville,
• for the purpose of giving effixt to overtures for peace, the imme-
diate result of which would be to bring back Ferdinand to his
capital, to re-establish him on his throne, and to restore to that
unfortunate country the happiness and tranquillity of which the
violence of party had so long deprived it."—(Quoted by the
Journal de. Paris from the Memorial Berne's, May 3.)

[EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.]
" BASLE, 1V1AY,5.-It appears that the Government of our
Cantons have received important communications from the Fe-
deral Directory. The Great Councils have been specially as.
senibletl, and, although the object of their deliberations is still
a secret, it is generally believed that they have been invited to
adopt measures of high police against foreign refugees more
severe than those hitherto acted upon, and to impose restric-
tions upon the liberty of the press.
• " What contributes to sustain these reports, is the forced de-
parture of all the Italians who,had obtained permission to re.

idain in Switzerland.
" These facts are more striking at Geneva, not only because
'the individuals were assembled in a smaller space, where they
were better known, but especially by the contrast of this exces-
sive rigour with the noble hospitality for which that city has
been for so many ages celebrated.
" !fit is the Government of Geneva itself which has adopted
such measures, we regret to see it make so unworthy a use of
its independence ; but if it obeys foreign invitations, we see
with heavy hearts an estimable and enlightened people, losing
thosesentiinents.of Independence and honour which indemnity
'a small State dim all the privations imposed by its position.—
We would say to those who govern, that when they enter on
the road of •concessions made to power, it is impossible to
'foresee the end; and if, as there is reason to hope, the sa-
cred rights of nations and of men receive at length a sanction
which shall put them out of the reach of every attack, Ge-
neva will regret the want of that little firmness which might
have saved it. .

" Other letters, which we have received from the same coun-
lry,state that it is in consequence of a species of dictation con-
fided to the Council of State by the Legislative Council of Ge-
nova that these harsh measures have been adopted: After hav-
ing made Italians quit Geneva who had resided ' there for 20
.years, they have interdicted a work published by a Learned
Society of the first class (The Annals of Legislation and Ju.
risprudence) which had existed' upwards of two years, to the-
.great advantage of Philosophical, Political, and Legislative
Science."
PAW, MAY 11.—Our correspondence Prom Perpignan,
.dated the 4th at BA. M. contains the following note:—
" It is said that there will be an affair to-day or to-morrow.
It is believed that the head-quarters will be in:notion to-day.—
Yesterday some firing was heard on the side of l3esatre."

.13AanAn, Jati.'o.—The Ottoman troops here have expe-
rienced a fresh check front the Persians who are fortifying them-
selves in the provinees.of Chalis and the environs of Menduli.
The fate of Uoerdistan is very problematical, and the discon-
tent of the resident of Ilussoralt against the Government here
givea reason to fear a new rupture. A regular cruise of Eng-
lish ships is established in the Persian Gulf, to protect the com-
merce of India and secure the principal points of the Gulf, such
•aslthe Island of Djezati, or Kischtne, The English vessels also
watch the Arabian Chatul, a river formed by die waters of the
'Ties and Euphrates.
TINE, MARCIt lb.—According to the last letters from
Hydra, dated the 26th Februaryt Prince Maurocordato, after
a hrisk, action, had compelled Omer .Vrione tq retreat into
Thessaly. The same letters state, that the troops which were
• in. german in the citadel of Corinth attempted to force a pas-
sage to Patras, bUt theii attempt was fruitless; they were
stopped on their march by the Greeks, superior in number, and
they returned to their entrenchments without any loss on either
side. These reports, so full of obscurity, want confirmation.
'Wiz:oh has been lately appointed Governor of Hydra, and.
Admiral in Chief of the Greek squadron.
Forty-eight I,psariot MS*, and 31i Hydriotea, are ready for
the next campaign. The Greeks already chaunt victory; their
481 only have to comhat Recoil:l-rate frigates.

The turnpike load between Chatham and Can.
lerbury has been, during the last week, measured
by Mr. HOWARD DRAKE, -the Surveyor, of Sit-
tingbourne ; and it is .found that not a single
-mile-stone is placed at a correct distance. The
one from Harbledown• to St.. Dunstan's is eighty
yards short. This fact imperiously culls on the
Trustees of the. 4(1,4 rid Toads. to revise the dis-
tances for the ,bonefit'• of the public:.—(Konlish
