AMtiSEMENY HE WOULD PROBABLY RECEIVE.

So much has been said on the Sine of France
since the Revolution, and the swarms of. Travellers
who have emigrated from this Country, have given
such ample information respe'Eting the present Man-
ner,s of the French People, thdt hardly any
,thing
new could be ,expeCied in ,a Work which, as the
Title imports, was 'intended Merely to describe the
occurrences in a Party of Pleasure. Indeed, the
Author, in a sensible Preface, modestly says ;

" If it has no pretensions to merit from the scanty
information it contains, Criticisni will be disarmed
by the consideration, that general utility is its only
aim, and that the efforts I have made, are to give a
faithful portrait of things as they appeared."
We have reason to believe, that his accounts, as
far as they go; are fully deserving of confidence.—
The Author of this pleasant Sketch is a Very liVely
and agreeable Writer. He is a man of taste and a
Poet, so that all his observations have an animated
charafter. His Work, on the whole, is interest-
ing, and contains. such information respeding .the
Amusements in France, the remains of its ancient
grandeur, in the track its A=lthor pursued, and the
expences,attending a residence in that Country, .as
will.Of course be very useful to English Travellers.
The. Work is embellished with some spirited Prints
in Ayuatinia; from drawings by the Author, which
represent places and objects very likely to_attrad.
notice. We shall., at present, only submit to our
Readers, the following specimen of the Poetical
powers of, our Author, which affords a very favour-
ble proof of his talents-and feeling

THE EMIGRANT.
Oft have we scent:a/Olen desolating War
Has urg'd thro' conclueed landi hiS bloody'ear,
Each Castle toppling and each mould'ring fane;
Whilst pale-ey'd Famine stares:along the plain
But say what pity shall that hand engage
Which bows beneath a 16'Volution's rage ! •
Alas !. how many must haVe rued the hour
When Revolution prov'd the scourge of pow'r !
Freedom, whose name the fatal monster bore,
And sacred Liberty were seen no more;
But in their place,' bold Fadion rais'd her:head,
And blood-stain'd Treason strode across the dead !''
Paris, whose*Walls with many a murder stain'd,
Who maredtheslory that her country gain'd,
Whose sons, nor laws cthild,cileck, nor justice bind,
Broke Heavin's cOmmand—gave pity to the wind !
Scarce shall Old'Xiine in days to come efface
Thy deeds of darkness, and thy land's disgrace !
Yet there each scene, of never,enciing strife;
With strange vicissittudes of busy life;
Makes Hope believe each vidirn is the last;
And drops oblivion's veil upon the past.
But far from thence, in.rnOreobscure retreats;
Once happy vales; once pleasure's peaceful seat.);
With higgard cheek, and ever-flowli:rg tears,
old the wretched E migrant. appears
The law repeal'd, that long these exiles drove
Thro' foreign lands in abject want to rove,
Once more he comes to these his father's plains;
And humbly takes the little that remains..
Then, when with mournful eye; ,SurFis'd, he seel
The Mighty change that Heav'e's. high will decrees, -
flow-sinks his heart r He now no more descries
The towers that once so proudly pierc'd the skies ;
No more the shepherd tunes his merry lay, •
Nor•flocks secure, thro' -meadovvs stray,
No more the wood he sees, whose solemn shade
With rural majesty once crown'd the glade;
iTis.desolation reigns on all around
A death-like sleep and 'solitude profound !
There, whCre once stood the hospitable board,
With massive plate,' and choicest viands stcred,
A pond'rous ruin lies, to crirriibled dust
Full many a pairetett.dome-aral well wrought bust!
The spreading lake where once majestic. rode.
In marble' pride full many a river god,,
O'ergrown with Weeds, and thick with waving grass'
And lonely wild-fowl tenantS'oe.the place.
Onward he goes, and seeks a fav'rite grove,
Where,, in the days of zeal, and sacred love,
His rev!rend fathers had been proud to raise
An holy Chapel 'to the Virgin's prake ! •
just Heav'n, he cries, and can thiS hellish rage
Not e'en the presence of their God assuage ?
Alas ! no rev'renee check'd the rebel band,
No fear of God withheld th' uplifted hand-,
;Onward they rush, and presiiheir mad career,
Murder in front and Famine in their rear !

Say thro' what paths must this sad mourner tread,
Where shall the wand'rer stop, where rest his head ?
Behold he kneels—and hark how pale Despair .
Draws from hit; lab'ring soul a parting pray' r :
"'No more, great God, misfortune's shafts I shun,
" Thy wayS are wonderful—thy will be done !
" No more my breast with joyful sense inhales
" The roseate blessing of the morning gales.
" Bleak look the fields, and sad the scenes I lov'd, -
" Lost is my peace, and vain my wishes prov'd !
" Where are my friends—companions of my youth,
" Whose laws were honour, and whose words were truth
" Those who restore this desolated plain
" Cannot give back the heroes they have slain.
" I who shOufd joy to call this lend mine own,
" Am joyless all to gain it thus alone.—
" Quick then, 0 Heav'n, release me from my pain,
" Oh, end at once my solitary reign !
" And for my country ! may some future,age,
" These scenes retracing in th' historian's pace,
" Teach France in virtue's cause to take the field,
" And slam once more the lilies on her shield l''

A Gentleman who has freqUent occasion to walk
from town to Chelsea, complains that the Lamps in
Piccadilly, by the side of the Park, as well as those
along the Kino Road, and the back cf Chelsea
College, are most shamefully neglected, as by far
the greater part are extinguished before eight
o'clock, although some of them are not lighted till
an hour after dark.

YESTERDAY morning, at ten o'cl.cel,-; a COroneet
Jury met at the Workhotise -of the parish of Ili.
shopsgaoeelor the purpose of inquiring into the east c 4
of the death of Attu Harries, who had. been treated
in the Most inhuman and brutal manner by her Master
and as mentioned in a for Mer. paper. The
appearance of this girl was such for sonie rime before ,
her death, that the Surgeons said she.eould not live.
On Tuesday Sir Ricii:CARR GLYN, the Alderman
of that Ward, attended at the Workhouse, and had
her Deposition taken in writing ; for alfhough she .
was m‘ich redoced she was sensible, and being per.
fe?tly collected, she give the following account :
On or abodt ShroVe TUesday, she and two other
little girli were put out apprentices by the Parish ofSt.
Giles; to William Bro. izz'a and his Wife, who lived in
Skinner-street, and Worked at pi.n.heaclingt Her mis-
tress carried on the business, and employed two wo-
men, besides two other apprentices, .who were bound
with her. Her mistress had frequently beat her
with a cane, the handle of a hammer; and once
broke two files upon her head, and had sometimes
given her no vianals for a whole day, because she
had not done her task. Some tune since she made
'her stand' on one foot or the nob of the grate,.
with a log of Wood tied to the other foot, .and
holding tip a brick-baCiti her right hand extend-
ed up the chimney, fok two hours, during wis;cli"
time
,tieing unable to herd it, she dropped the brit,
.and her mistress then abused her ciuelly. Her
ter had often kicked her, and once particularly on.
the side. Being ill; she was not able to do
for this Month, and her mistress beat her only t
days. before she was removed ; and the journey_
woman often beat her before that time. The
Jury had viewed the body before the examina_
tion of other Witnesses took place. Messrs. Bli-.
zard, Smart and Wilson, and other Surgeons, opened
the body and head of .the deceaSed, and after mi-e
nutely investigating it, returned and gave their tes.:
timnnies to the Jury, that the deceased must have
been ioa consumptive state for some time, which:
had occasioned
,her dissoldtion ; and that they' diS
not think starvation, • or the external bruises on het
head and body were the cause of her death, there be.
ing rio internal marks from the external appearance;
In their opinioni, thercfdre; the low and weak, state
of the body might have occasioned the aliparent
brdises on many parts of the body,- and on opening
the head they found no apparent marks on the fore _
head. On the whole, they thought the deceased
must have died' of consumption.
A great number of Witnesses attended, and. manr
were examined, particularly the two little girls Who
•
had been fellow,apprentices to the deceased, who;
gave full-confirmation of the bad wage they had re...
- ceived: from .their Mistress and Master; and this
was all corroborated by several persons of credit; whG
were eye and ear-witnesses of cruelusage. Some of
the neighbours were summoned to give 'evidence
but that 'being merely common 'rumour, no respeft
‘vas paid to it. Thee Masters of Ihe School and
Workhouse of St. Giles's attended to give testimony
of the good health of the children w 1,211 they were
apprenticed out ; but they were riot examined at
this time.

The jury, after hearing the evidence given by
the Medical Gentlemen; returned a yerdia of—Died

o'clock, and this day the Coroner cc s to report the
verdict to the LOKD MAyok, when the Pris-oners

THis was an A6tion brought by Mr. Tenant
against the Defendants Messrs. Slater and Cb. for
baying infringed his Patent, obtained for the exer—
cise of his invention of a method of using calcareous
car.ths, the earths of stronites and barytes, all of
them either in their carbonated or calcined states,
but more properly in the latter state, instead of
alkaline substances for neutralizing the oxygenated
muriatic acid used in bleaching, instead of pot 4nti
pearl-ashes, kelp, Latina or •other alkaline sub-
stances.—ln one word, the Plaintiff claimed, in
support of his Patent, the merit of having fikst
discovered the use of lime and lime-water with
oxygenated marine gas, united in a fluid for the
purposes of bleaching; and the single question was,,
whether the Plaintiff was or was not the Inventor

This was an Aaion on a Policy of Insurance, of
goods sent from Liveepool .to Cork.
The articles were several salt-pans, made of iron,
the dirriensions of which were eleven feet long by
ten wide, and eighteen inches deep. They were
shipped on board the Anderson, an Irish trader, and
consigned to an Agent at Cork ; the ship was un-
fortunately lost on her passage, and has not been
heard of since.
