he was received with great courtesy ; he received the
assurance that the principal basis of the negotiations

France desires peace, but an honourable peace—peace,
sauf toujours ce grand adverbe honorablement ; in case
of extremities, she would not avoid war. M. BAS-

our affairs, and conversed about them with interest
with TOMMASEO. A few French vessels of war will
soon appear in our waters. Citizen MENGALDO ar-
rived at Paris on the 23d of August, with the mes-
sage of the Assembly and Deputies of this city and

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
A well-dressed young man, who gave his name as
William Nash, but declined giving any address, was
again brought up for further examination on the
charge of stealing a horse and gig, the property of
Mr. Stapleton.
From the evidence taken on a former occasion, it
appeared that the prisoner went to Mr. Stapleton's
Livery Stables, in New Broad-street, City, on Tues-
day fortnight, and hired a horse and gig, with a man
to accompany him as servant. He drove to the
Angel at Edmonton, and having ordered dinner went
out to take a walk as far as Mrs. Pike's Academy,
where he said he had a sister. On his return he
dined, and then ordered the horse and gig to the
door, representing that he was going to take his
sister for a drive, and should be back to tea, but
previous to his departure, he borrowed 2s. 6d. from
the landlord, in case he might have to pay tolls.
Neither the prisoner nor the horse and gig were after-
wards seen, and the servant found that he had been,
what he termed, "left in pawn" for the expenses.
He had also obtained a saddle-horse from a Mr.
Scott, livery-stable-keeper in New Cavendish-atreet,on
the representation that he was connected with the
firm of Nash and Co., the large sugar merchants, in
Great Arthur-street, City, which had not been seen
since. Under similar circumstances he obtained a
horse and chaise from Mr. Gray, of Earl-street,
Blackfriars, who sent a man with him. They went
to the Cown and Sceptre, Greenwich, but he did not
succeed in getting the horse and gig, as he left them
with the man also in " pawn."
John Spittle, 671, stated that on Thursday last he
was at the Bow-lane station when the prisoner was
brought there. He remarked to him that it was a bad
affair, and Nash replied that it was. Witness said
" Mr. Stapleton was very uneasy about his horse and
gig," and the prisoner remarked, " Oh, indeed! I
left them at the Brunswick Hotel,:Black wall." He then
informed him that a number of persons had been making
inquiries respecting a horse and saddle, upon which he
said that he left it at the Star and Garter, Richmond.
In consequence of this information he went with Mr.
Stapleton to the officer who had charge of the pri-
soner, and there found the horse and gig in Mr.
Ceeley's livery-stables, while the cushions and whip
were left at the Brunswick Hotel, as security for 3s.
which he borrowed from the landlord. He after-
wards went to Air. Scott, and was informed that that
person had been to the Star and Garter at Richmond,
and recovered his property on payment of 1/. 16s. for
the keep of the horse.
John Berwick, hostler in the service of Mr. Ceeley,
deposed to the horse and gig being brought to his
master's stables, by one of the porters at the Bruns-
wick Hotel, and its having remained there eight days,
until owned by Mr. Stapleton.
Alderman CHALLIS—Then it appears he has not
disposed of any of the property ? Spittle—No, he
has not. He only borrowed money on them, and run
into debt.
Alderman CHALLIS asked the prisoner what he had
to say for himself, as his conduct appeared to be most
extraordinary throughout.
The prisoner merely said that he did not borrow
money on the cushions and whip, nor did he mean to
wrong any party. He complained of the officer Spittle,
under the mask of friendship, getting all the informa-
tion he could out of him.
Alderman CHALLIS asked him if he had got any
friends and where they lived ?
He replied that he had none in London, but some
in the country. Be declined saying where.
Spittle said he had been informed that the pri-
soner's real name was Selby, and that he was for-
merly a billiard-marker. Be was well known in the
neighbourhood of the Haymarket and Windmill-
street.

Alderman CHALLIS said he should remand him for
one week, as he would not give any account of him-
self. His acts were either acts of great impropriety,
or the result of a deep laid scheme of villany. If the
former, the sooner he communicated with his friends
and got them to come forward and speak as to his
character the better.
He was then removed from the bar.

has been remanded from time to time on different

fully committed for trial.

a charge of having obtained jewellery to the amount
of 16/., of Messrs. Rowland and Son, of Regent-

whom he had no account at the time.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
James Smith, a milk-carrier in the employ of Mr.
George Bond, cowkeeper, No. 33, George-street,
Foley place, was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged with having embezzled various sums of
money belonging to his employer. •
Mrs. M'Ewen, the wife of a coachman, residing at
No. 18, St. Alban's-place, deposed that she had dealt
with the prosecutor fbr five years. The prisoner had
been in the habit of bringing the milk, and her ar-
rangement with him was to pay him once a month.
On the 13th of August last witness paid him ss. 10d.
for milk, and prisoner receipted the bill in pencil.
That was all witness owed up to that time.
Ellen Pearce, cook in the service of Mr. Hogg, 40,
St. James's-street, said she had lived four years and a
half in her present situation, and all that time her
employer had dealt with the prosecutor for milk. In
January last witness gave the prisoner her master's
cheque for 51. 16s. 6d. for goods had of Mr. Bond.
