SOLEM QUIS DICERF. FALSVM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, SFPTEMDER 3, 1812•

French, Papers arrived last night, but they are.
utterly barren of intelligence. It is rather singu-
lar that the Moniteur has never taken any notice
of the conduct of Sweden : the Peace between
Great Britain, Sweden, and :Russia, has never
even been mentioned in the French Papers.

Some of our contemporaries have expressed
doubts respecting the safety of the Owen Glen-
dower frigate, for which there does not appear to
be any foundation.. The Owen plendower sailed
from Madeira before the Africaine ; but she called
and remained at the Cape of Good Hope
three weeks, and did not sail thence until
the 28th January. It is probable she would make
the eastern passage ; and, having the Commander
in Chief on board, would probably visit. Java
aid the Prince of Wales Island : she could not,'
therefore,' have reached Madras by the 18th of
March, which is the date of the latest intelligence
from thence that could be obtained at Columbo,
when the vessel that is arrived left that place.

We perceive in T,Tie Morning Chronicle, which,
t.ti do injustice, is always on the alert to support
the interests of its Party, either by open or co-
vert attacks upon Ministers, an observation upon
the King of SWEDEN'S late address to his people,
in which he said that he had only armed for the
defence of his own proper dominions. Hence, the
writer in the Chronicle, with extraordinary sim-
plicity, if we may give him . credit for sincerity
_on
the occasion, seems disposed to infer that ,we
are to expect no diversion from Sweden against
the French Ruler. But; admitting that Swe-
den armetl for. the defence of its. own pro-:
per dominions, is it to be, concluded that she
will confine her military preparations to that
. object; tor it cannot be doubted that, in the
present situation of France and Russia, it
"will be difficult for her to remain neutral, and
it is hardly possible that she will direct her rc
sources in favour of France ? But after having by
conjectural inference presumed that Sweden *ill
not make a diversion agailist France, the Chronicle
proceeds to consider the fact 'as certain, and asks
if it is because we could not grant a subsidy, or
.is
it because we were not ready to abet her falling
upon Denmark ? As to a subsidy, if it should
be likely to be employed with effect in the corn-
mon cause, nobody would object to it ; and as to
an attack -by Sweden upon Denmark, it is not
likely that we should be inclined to abet it, if such
'an object were in contemplation by Sweden, tin-
.
_less Denmark should provoke it, by appearing
heartily to espouse the cause of France, which she
can hardly be suspected of doing. The Chronicle,
however, proceeds to settle the point at once, by
saying, that BUOMAPARTE is not new likely to have
any thing to dread from his olkGeneral. We do
not pretend to be so well 'acquainted with BUCiNA-
PARTE'S " Captains- as the Chronicle, which has
often Commended them, and set them far above
the " pen whipsters" in our army ; but we think
that it has been somewhat .hasty in its, conclusion.
There is nothing very loveable in the character of
BUONAPARTE, and it is well known that he and
BERNADOTTE have been upon ill terms, therefore as
the latter is now out of the tyrant's reach, he may
be. expected to act as his own interests, and thine
'of Sweden, upon which he Nrholiy depends, may

render necessary. But the Chronicle is chiefly
alarmed lest. British manufactures should not be
admitted into Sweden. This is a very laudable
fear in the chronicle, but we hope that the
treaty recently concluded between this country and
Sweden will soon put an end to its patriotic ap-
prehens;ons;

SECOND EDITION.

TWO O'CLOCK.

There was a report in circulation this morning
in the City, which rapidly spread to the other end
of the town, which stated, that some AMerican
privateers had entered New Brunswick and Liver-
pool, and setboth on fire. It is added, that a letter
from a merchant at the latter place concluded with
Laying, " my house is now burning to the ground:
We can assure our rea,ders that do accounts
of such an event, beyond the mere rumour, have
reached the Admiralty.

On Tuesday the D4e of -11,-61t.K held a-Military
Levee, at his Offiee in the Horse Guards: Yes-
terday his Royal Highness transacted 'hnsitiess at
his Office:

The Earl of PLYY:otrrit is one of the Stewards
at the ensuing Grand cal Festival,' at Wor-
cester. The whole of the first-race performers in
London are engaged for t'Tie occasion.
Yesterday a Court of ibictors was held at the
East India House, when. • Captain Wm. HAY, of
the Inglis, -took leave previous tO departing for.
Bengal and Madras:. . ;r
On Tuesday, the Court. of Directors restored
Majors WAHAB and LUSIIINGTON, and Capt•lins
Horxmow and CAptt., to their rank in,the INlit-
dras Army.
The following account of the reception of •Mr.
Liston, at. Constantinople, is' taken froi a German
paper of the 17th of August :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10.---On the 28th
of June Mr. Liston arrived here, as the,accre-
dited Ministerfrom England to the Porte. His
Excellency alighted at the present' mulish Atn-
‘bassador's Palace, at Pera, -on theAth inst. He,
immediately gave information of his arrival to the
Kaimakan ; and the folloWing morning received
a visit from the interpreter- of the Porte,who wel-
comed his arrival, in the name of the Kaimakan,
and the Ministers of the Porte.

" Mr. S. Canning, thv Ex-English Ambassa-
dor, will soon proceed to the Dardanelles, to emu
hark in the Argo frigate for England, the same in
which Mr. Liston arrived."

A detachment of the Royal Staff CorpS (Officers
only) has been ordered to proceed from llythe,
for the express purpose of being attached to the
Quarter-111astFr-General of the Forces., in Spain.

It was understood, a few months since, that
Brigadier-General CARROL, who has so particu-
larly identified himself with the cause of the
Spanish hid, !ndence, and who has served With
so much dig .;wished merit in their armies, had
gor.e, out witi: the joint authority of both Go-
vernments, to raise and diseipline.a legion of 4000
men in Galicia, upon a plan coinciding entirely.
with that here suggested by Captain STOTHERT.
Geneial CARROL, after visiting the depots of the
Patriots in several Provinces on the Bay of Biscay,
is now at Corunna, proceeding, we believe, in
the work, of raising and training the legion al-
luded to.

Mr. RYDEF...—Aire were much . surprised to sec
one of the most illiberal attacks upon this
Gentleman, in a Morning Paper recently,
that has ever disgraced the public press. It
was part of a letter written for the avowed
purpose, of preventing any such treatment of
the remains of those who commit suicide as
might increase the misery of surviying relatiOns
Mr. RYDER is so respectable a character, indepen-
dently of official duties, which he has always dis-
charged with integrity and zeal, .that, this gross
and wanton attack is the' more extraordinary,
particularly as it appeared in a letter written on
the subject of humanity, and apparently from good
feeling, as well as with great ability.

Bartholomew Fair.—The preparations for 'this,
annual festival.appear to be on the usual extended
scale. Richardson, Saunders, Cryngell, and Seow-
ton, have raised their goigeous. Theatres on the.
same space they occupied last year. Miles and
Polito have brought a most formidable. body of
savage animals into the field. There arc also
elephants enough to equip a Nabob. 'The Fair
was proclaimed last night by the rabble, Com-
monly denominated Lady Holland's Mob. This'
day it will be proclaimed by the Lord Mayor, and
display its proudest pageantry.
Earl lINREWOOD, with a. benevolence hereditary
in his family, is we understand, supplying the poor
upon his estates with wheat at ten shillings per
bushel.

No less than ,six French Officers, prisoners of
war, have_ violated their parole of hononi during
the last week ; 'four liaripg absconded• from Bi-
shop's Castle, in Shropshire, arid two from Selkirk?
in Scotland.

So extremely cold was the night of Thursday
last, that ice was seen at four o'clock the next
morning, at Shaftesbury.
A boat was on Tuesday overturned below Black-
friars-bridge, and a symnan \v ho' was a passenger
in it %vas drowned, notwithstanding the-exertions
of several watermen, who promptly rowed to her

with which they made- their escape 'unobserved,,

Tuesday evening the Pylades, CaptainWhlmYSs,
sailed from PortE;nouth, with specie; fur Lis-
bon, intended to pay the 'troops. serving in the
Peninsula.

Letters have been received from the Island of
Ceylon,,(by (he Way' of the Cape of Good Hope),
dated CoJumbo, in the end of March and the be-
ginning -of April. His Majesty's ship Africaine,
the Hon. Captain RODNEY, had arrived in Co-
limbo, Roads the 16th of -iNlarch, having on
board Lieutenant-General 131tbwxraG, the new
Governor.: The Africuine had made a remarkably
rapid passage from Madeira. For several days',
she Made 200 miles a day by the log, and never
saw a sail during the' whole of her voyage, nor
sight of land after she passed St: Nic4las, 'one of
the Cape de Verds, the 20th.of December. The
Owen Glendower, which sailed from MadeirL about
three weeks before the Africaine, haiing OLI board,
the flag of Sir SAMVEL Hoon, going to command
hi the Indian seas, not having reacheri her desti-
nation at the date of these. letters, apprehensions
were entertained for her safety. •The ..41ricaine
was waiting the arrival of the 'Owen Glendower at
Columbo, to take orders from Sir SAMUEL I-16013 ,
but if he should not, arrive in. a certain limited
time, then Captain RonisTry intended to proceed
Madras, All was quiet in India.at the date of
these letters, according to the information current
in Ceylon. • • •

IttvEk PIRATES.—Mr. Geoffry,' of Westminster,
who has a sailing boat on the Thames, while
amusing himself in sailing-down the river onMon-
day evening, about nine o'clock, was boarded be-
tween Battersea and Westminster 'Bridges, by
three ruffians, who jumped from a four-oared 'cut.-
Ater that ran alongside. They demanded • his
watch and his money with dreadful imprecations
.and as he had only a little.boy on board, he did
not feel it prudent to resist, but gaVe 'them cash
to the amount of W.—watch he had, not about
him. The villains ther; left-his boat, and went
into their own, where there seemed to be three
other men ; and having desired him to put about,
they rowed with great velocity towards Westmin-
ster Bridge, and were soon ...out of sight. Al-
though it was, extremely dark, Mr. G. thinks he.
can recollect the face of one of the ruffians,. and
has given'such a description of him as may lead
to his apprehension:
A Gentleman of the name of TOOLEY, under-
took, yesterday, to go from Westminster-bridge
to Woodhatch, near ..Ryegate, and return ; the
whole being 44 miles,
,in eight hours, and this
part of speed beat him. He resigned, after per-
forming 30 miles in six hours, sore-footed.
• Last Week a Leeds publican was fined for re-
fusing to:>admit soldiers into his house at arid-
night..
