confined with a severe cold, which prevented him

and the propagation of the Gospel. Viscount
Castlereagh, in an appropriate speech, proposed
the
,Resoltitions. Mr. Whitbread folloWed, in a.
very, impressive, eloquent, and sublime speeeh,
and seconded the Resolutions.

to the. Parent Society„ stated fully a description
of his travels through Denmark,. StrC(.l6l, Ger--
many, Switzerland, . &c. he frequently
found that not one individual in one hundred

cause, was ,highly respectable. The Meeting did,

was filled With carriages Ivaiting for the company.

it would be a singular instance of retributive
justice should Admiral Tchitchagoti have the good
fortune to capture .Bonaparte in his flight. it is
•
not perhaps 'generally known that this. Russian
Officer married the youngest daughter of the late
Commissioner PrOby,• at Chatham. While tra-
velling in France, this aniiabk lady was detained
as a pri6oner, and sent to Paris ; arid notwith-
every intreaty of her husband, to permit her to be
removed to a more southern province, on •tcconut
of the delicate state of her health,. the Tyrant's
obstinacy was not to be softened; and.this accom-
plished woman fell a victim to the dreadful mala-
dy with which she was then afflicted. The person-;
al injuries sustained by this gallant officer will, we
doubt not, superinduce a•degree of activity to en-
able him to indict summary vengeance on the heilf.l
of the deStroyer of all his happiness..
A letter from St. Thomas's mentions that a se-
vere hurricane was experienced there on the Ist
of October. Several vessels, were driven onshore,
and others slipped their cables, and out to sea.—
Twelve hatises were blown down, and several
lives lost.
