dence than ever, that the Court of Vienna is endea-
vouring to obtain from sonic Foreign Courts their
consent, that the dignity of Emperor of Ger-

no particulars of those important Negotiations are

IART4, JAN. c.---The celebrated Madame GEN-
WaSamong the number of the one thouiind two
hundred persons
.who were presented to the Pope in
the Gallery of Napoleon. His Holiness compli-
mented her highly upon her great literary abilities,
and the religious use to which she devoted them.

A young woman, calling herself Betsey Williams,
.and who appeared like a seivant, came on Sistnroay
se'nnight to the house of Thomas Woodcock, a poor,
but honest man, who sells huxtry, and who lives
at Burton, in the parish of Tarvin, near Chester, and
requested lodgings for the night. The hearts of
Woodcock and his wife being as open. as their
threshhold,. they. readily consented, and also sup.
plied her with ,every comfort their humble cottage
could afford ; the next day, to use the language
of 114 old man, it rained hard, and being the
Sabbath-day, they requested her to stop over that
.day, for having nine children of their own, they
did not know what they might experience should
they be similarly circumstanced." 'He also went
a distance of some miles round his house in search
of a place for her, but Without elfin. However,.
it again raining. heavily on Monday, they were
noi willing for the stranger to bear the " pelting
of the pitiless storm," and generously gave her
another lodging under their hospitable roof; which
kindness she • returned when they were asleep, by
breaking open a drawer, and stealing all the money
but a, halfpenny. and a farthing the unsuspening ho3ls
had in the hbuse, supposed about 41. a si:k cloak, a
gown, petticoats,. and other wearing apparel, also
some tea, sugar, and cakes, with which she -got off
unperceived. Fortunately the good old folks missed
their property and Intker about one o'clock the
next morning, when Woodcock immediately went in
quest of her to Chester, where she was apprehended
by the aaivity of the Beadle, between nine and ten,
in a shop buying a pair of stays. She underwent a
short examination before, Robert Hodgson, Evq. anti
the next day was fuily.coarrnitted to the Castle, to
take her trial at the next Assizes.

On' Monday se'nnight, at Ercleshill, near Brad.
fbrii, a pprSOil of the name 'of Shepherd, 'aged .
drowned himself in a,stmill rivulet only about two
ii rtes deep of water. There was a boy witb Lim,
to whom he was grandfather, who seeing his design,
purled him as hard as he could, but he pushed t4e
boy away, and forced `his face as far in the water as
Ire was able. The boy ran home for assioance,
which was nearly half a mile off; but when they got
tu the unfortunate man be was qttite dead.

INTENDED ROBBERY,---A few days ago it .was
discovered that an attempt had been trnde to break
into, some cellars under the Chapel in Essex-street,
Strand, rented by .a Black Lead Company, and used
as d depUt for that article. The thieves had not
been able to force the door of the cellar, where the
lead was, though they had broke open tWo other
doors that led, to it, but which they had left in such
a state as plainly indicated their intention of corn.,
ing again. These circumstances being privately
Communicated to the Magistrates at Ilow.street,
Anthony, Adkins, and others of the Ofliers, were
sent thereon Monday evening last- ; an I havittg
taken their station in a house adjoining, .the
back part of which commanded a perfect view
.of the
entrance to the premises in question, they remained
there till about half past four o'clock the following
morning, when three men were seen to enter the
yard contiguous to the cellars, opening the door of
the yard by means of a fal.se key, and locking it
after them, The Officers upon this followed them
into the premises, where they secured them, and
found four iron crows, picklock kqs, andothr,e
implements for housebreaking. The villains • had
just commenced their attack on the interior door of,
the cellar •where the lead was deposited when dia_
turbed by the Officers, who immediately recogni.—

„less A. personage than the Landamman, or Su.
rime Magistrate of the Helvetian Republic. It is
well known that the two latter Defendants,are en.
gaged in a great banking concern under tl*ftrm of
Vonneek and Co. At the awful crisis when. the Can.
tons of Switzerland were threatened with destrnc.
tion as an independent Power, by the imposing situ.
ation of France in 1798, the Cantons of Berne and
%midi had the prudence to invest a considerable
portion of Cite funds of their respective Seates in the
public securities of this country. Purstrant to this
de.ign, 85,4991. tow. 2 was placed in the Three
per Cent, Consolidated Annuities ; 158,3831. 6,5. Bd.
iss South Sea Stock; and about 34,000. in Bank
Stock. The agents in this country, for the appro.
priation'of these. monies, were 14rd fluntingfield
and the Hon. Robert Walpole,, xvho were directed
to apply them in tbis manner, by the Constituted
Atithoritif.s. of the t.. o Cantons we have named.
The dividends resulting from these inveitnients.
the time when this bill was filed in Chancery,
ronnunted'to the sum vf t3s.rod.; and the
present applicati.:in was t.J procure from the Defend.
ants the ptymet,t of this stint into Court.

Mr. ROMILLY, on the pert of the Pleintifr, said,
fleet this money had been intrusted to the Corpora.
lion, and to the Noble and Honeurable Persons who
were the Defendents in this can-Jr, at the rime when
the shirtier Swiss Cantons were Independent States,
both with reepett to each other, and the rest of Eu.
rope. In t 798, the inhabitants became united under
one Governmeto, called the Helvetisn Republic,
and thin, the particular Cantons interestested irethis
property ceased to exist as political avid. separate
Powers. , It then became necessary to plovide a
receptacle, or generel treasury, for the lunch; of
the thirteen dist Ind. Stases; and it was ordered, that
the property belonging to the different cantons
should itecnree national property. Tai,, determina.
don was'made by the existing Government, and
was confirmed On the 3(1 of April, after the Union,
txy the Seeate elected according to ehe forms of the
new coestitution. In ennsepienCd of this law, the
Sresent Plaintiff became the repreeernative of the
tate ferthese particular funds before appertaining
to Bettie and lot Mt, and in this character he was
authorised to apply to the Court to receive the divie.
dends resulting from the investmeets, consietieg of
57,0091. t es„ red. under its immediate protection.
'Messrs. RICIIARtri anti flott,ts, in reply, said,
the DelernisniS admitted that they were not en-
titled to this property; but before therlaiotiff could
require of the Court that it should be deposited in
the hands of its Receiver, he should make a trima
fireie case, at least, that he himself was entitled to it.
The dividends were calculated at the sum of
57,0001. and aeOnall- friflion ; but it was not core
reef to assert that the whole of this would eve,' be.
long to the States of Berne and Zurich, lid they
exist ; for Anthony St. Didier, a 'banker of Pens,
was possessed of an assignment of the principal mo.
nits, ne the extent of 65,0001. and he had filed a
bailor the transfer stock to that amount. But
the chief objettion was to the chareCter the Plaititiff
Assumed. This country does not acknowledge any
Helvetian Republic; and no Municipal Court here
can therefore suppose such a Power to :exist.—
nom the established forms founded on the royal
tights, this Court could not even agitate a question
of this nature, excepting in the presetice of His
Majesty's Attortity.Geoend ; and it was absolutely
necessary that this Officer of the Crown should be
made a party in the cause. The present question
seemed precisely similar to that which twos before
diectreed on the tights of the States tit Maryland,
previously and subsequent Ito the Independence
of America ; and it was determined, that,the pro.
petty of that State should devolve 'to the Crown.
The Le. tned Counsel further contended, it was not
neemary fee them to give any answer at all to this
petition ; that if the At torneyeGeneral were to think
proper to Wean information, their client* would be
ready to give the suitable answer. The aigument
41'6,41410m the Decree of die Senate, venting the
property of particular Sates in the treasury of the
led eeriea Republic, was inapelicable, because a
'new Revohttion had since taken place,, under the
immediate auspices of the public Enemy ,of this

Mr. Rote t Ler made a very long end, Ale reply

Ptratussta.—OnWednesday a very hard pitched
battle was fought at
.Harehatch,_ near Maidenhead,
fat 30 guineas. between j...'Stutble, a pork butcher,
and Payire, a firmer at Woodley. The corn_
hatants.drposited the stakes in December, since
which time they 'have been in training. There was
no advantage in skill, very little of which was dis,
played on the occasion. Hard blows were exchanged
during the fight, which lasted three quarters of an
hour. After they 'had fought o minutes the head
of Payne was much lacerated, and his opponent's
eyes were nearly closed. They at length fell,
quite exhautted, and were .unable to risel the
stakes were consequently drawn, on condition that
the Pugilists should meet again withint month.
Yesterday a pugilistic contest occured in Mo-
nutrient-yard, between Staker,.a Waterman, and the
Master of the Re're-Sfoop, lying in the River, which,
for science and resolution, ,may rank with the efforts
of first. rate brui%ers. A great number of speftators
surrounded the combatants; and the occasion of the

battle rendered the success of the parties highly in.
(cresting. The'W.terman was accused by his op.,
portent of committing a' fraud too -frequently prac.
tised by element bithirs, namely, that of privately
cutting i boat adrift from the stern of hisopponent's
Sloop,. fur the purpnse of picking it up, to obtain
salvage on restoring it to the Owners. A liberal
reward had been given by the' Master of the Sloop
for hip hoar, which, he believed, • had been broken.
adrift; but on learning the imposition pra'tised on
,him, he went in search of the Warcrman, .and. on

meeting the Litter, commenced a battle. The
prties, who were muscular men,' fought with great
ability near fifteen minutes, during which time se.
vett' knock•down blows were, given. Vidory,
however, declared fur the Champion of justice,
who left the Waterman sufficiently punished for .the

offence he had committed. Jima :face was shock.

ingly disfigured, and several severe falls, which he
received, prevented him horn going home without

asiist,,ince.

A daring and singular robbery/ has been Cont.
mitted in the shop andiwarehotik of Mr. James
Wilkins ,n, of Hull, furrier and haberdasher. On
Monday Morning .a small door in the shop, in the
market-place, from the Rein Deer Inn pass Age, was
'
found forced open, one of she locks upon it having
previously been picked. Almost every part of the
shop had been ransacked ; and a very large quantity ,
of gocidi, and those universally of the richest qua.
liry, consisting' of velvets, modes, satins, &c. were
takto away. The warehouse in Low.gate was also
entered, and robbed of a quantity of muffs, tippets,
straw bonnets, &c. It appears that the tobbery of

of Saturday., as on that evening a light. in the win.

room at an early Bout, which were supposed to aliq
from some of the people belonting to the shop ; but

Oil ‘Vednesday setnnight a sailor, who hAd just
come off a long voyage, anti received his wages,
went on shore AlNOrril Shields, where he hired a
hack horse for the'day, which he nit:tinted at nifle

in' the morning, and rode up and dow,n the street,
at various paces, till five in the evening ; and so
fond was h: of this new mode of :sailing, as he
termed. i., that he never dismounted, except when
he lost hitt balance, which ,was pretty frequent to-
wards the latter part of the day, as he passed few
public houses withdut a glass of grog. At length,
completely bruised and dirty, he went to return the
horse, and par his hand in his pocket to Flay the
hire ; but, alas poor Jack, in'some of his: tumbles,
had -lost his fob and all his money. He offered a
r?ward of five guineas, but it W 45 100 well filled to
be returned.
DuNnae,. JAN. 1 Tuesday night, be.
twixt ten anti eleven o'clock, a fire broke nut in
Mr. WHITTIre4 bake.htiusr, inatnetijotply behind
the Dundee New Bank and the ROyal Exchange
Assuranc'e Office. It was occasioned, we under.
stand, by the carlessness of the person who drew
out the oven fire, part of which had,unobserved,by
him, fallen under a table amongst some sticks.—
The fire , was soon 4pt under, by the powerful and
well.direfted play ot,the engines. ,The bake.house
was much damaged, and a great quantity of-ship
biscuit was consumed. The premises were not
insured. Great apprehensions. were at 'one time
entertained lest the fire should communicate to an
adjoining stable,- in which case the Dundee New
Bank, and a number of richly filled flax warehouses,
would have 'been endangered. Great praise, is due
to the Volunteer Officers and Privates, who were so
active keeping off the mob, 4nd clearing the way
for those who were engaged lit assisting-to ex.
tinguish the fire.
