"DETRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, APRIL 14.

" It is reported in some societies here, that Du ROC
in his late journey to certain Courts, was trusted
not only 'With political, but with fermi& secrets, and
that an arrangement is on the tapis which will
astonish the world.
" When the Neutral Kings of Sr At x, PRUSSIA and
Deratnax, addressed themselves to the former
Direttors, REWREL, BARRAS, MERLIN, Sec. they
styled them Great and dear Feiends, (Grands et
diets Amis) which no doubt encouraged Raw BEL
in :798 to demand a certain Princess in marriage
for his son, a Republican Officer. This insolence
was not resented but overlooked •, and Rawest.,
with the other Kings of different faEtions, is now
become the subject of BONAIPARTR, and with his
son is confounded amongst the nameless thousands,
whose existence could only be known out of their
,native village by such a Revolution as the French,
where crimes and intrigues have received the dignity
and reward of talents and virtue.

Monarchs, in degrading their Ancestors, them-
selves and their Families, by unbecoming Alliances,
endanger Monarchy, and encourage, Rebellion and
Revolution; because, when ambitious G-zrman sub.
jells see ci.deruant French. subjects become the bro.
titers or sons.in.law of their own SoVereigns, they
naturally conclude, that what a Revolution has et'.
fated in France, a Revolution may effect in Ger.
many. A Prince, who gives his sister or daughter
to a Foreign upstart, approves the revolt that pro.
cured him power ; he has, therefore, no reason to
complain, nor can he expen pity if 'he complains,
should any of his own subjetts conspire to ascend his
own Throne. It Princes do not respect themselves,
how can they pretend to respect from Subjeas, whose
opinions and fidelity their own conduct has overturn.
ed and subverted ? Whatever their Ministers, Coun-
sellors and Favourites say to the contrary, neither
the Diamonds of Brazil, the. Treasures of Peru, or
Provinces in Italy and Germany, can indemnify or
repair the honour of a Prince, who voluntarily stains
the honour of his family by an improper conflation.
•' When British Travellers consider the humiliated
and enslaved" Continent, they are proud to be the
subjefts of a KING who, in protciting their Giber-
ties, has not forgot, or stiles-a .to be. forgotten, his
own high Dignity, and who has adorned His Royal
Rank with Pirtrees which would illustrate the most
obscure individual ; when posterity justly reprobates
some Kings, who by their Egotisms, Negotiations,
and Alliances, have made Republics fashionable at
the expellee of Monarchy, it shall render GEORGI 3
111. the same justice as his Contemporaries, that
in the most difficult times, he has ailed and transacted
as a KING, and by it saved Europe from being an
Universal Republic, under the Didature and Pro.
?dila', of a Corsican Adventurer."

Yesterday the Purser of the Honourable East In.

Yesterday the LORD MAYOR and several of the
Aldermen attended at Guildhall, for the,purpose of
forming a Court of Aldermen ; but there not being
a sufficient number present, no Court was held ;
therefore, his Lordship, after examining the Meal-
weighers' Reports, otdered the price of bread to
continue at 9d. the quarters loaf.
To-morrow a Court of Common Council will he
held at Guildhall, for the eleAion of a Comptroller,

* N. B. The repairs of the Church at Chelms-

illation will be held at Great Badow Church.
+ The Confirmation which used to be at Burnt_
wood, will be now at Southweald Church : the Vi-
sitation as before, 'will be at Burntwood.

The present Ministers very properly express their
most unqualified contempt for, and detestation of a
Journal that endeavo►►rs to flatter them, at the ex.
pence of their Predecessors. The attempt, how.
ever, is as feeble as it is malignant and base ; for
Mr. ADDINGTON, with that candour and honesty
which belongs to his charagter, acknowledged long
ago in the House of Commons, that the merit of
the glorious Campaign in Egypr, and that of the
Battle of Copenhagen, belonged exclusively to his
Predecessors.

It is universally acknowledged that the Vrc seal'
Of CANTON was a very amiable and just man. No
Officer in his situation ever concluded himself with
so much disioterestedness, for he always refused
even the customary presents from European Mer-
chants, because he would not expose himself to the
possible suspicion of venality. It is therefore con.
ceived that he has really fallen a sacrifice to the man
who had deprived.hins of his 'post, and that the story
of his having poisoned himself is a posthumous
fabrication.
Capt. MACNAMARA will not probably he re-
moved till Friday morning, on which day his trial
will come on at the Old Bailey. Though his wound
is doing well, there is still a good deal of fever
about him.

Dr. LAY D, the late Dean of Bristol, who was
a most estimable man in private life as well as in
the discharge of his sacred duties, has,- we under.
stand, left a large family, by no means in such pros.
perous circumstances as must be desired by all who
knew his worth, and are acquainted with the merits
of those who no longer enjoy his kindness and
protedion.
It is to be hoped that the indecent uproar which
on Sat ueday night disgraced the Opeta.house, wilt
point out to the Proprietors of that theatre, the ne.
cessity of either totally putting a stop to, or in
some way regulating the admission of strangers be-
his' the teen's. This indulgence has long been
scandalously abused, and if some decisive 'measures.
be not speedily adopted by those whose duty it is
to prevent the recurrence of similar disturbances,
the Public will very soon perceive the folly of pay.
ing their money to witness a drunken broil instead
of what it ought to be, the most elegant and brilliant
exhibition in the.metropolis.
&LISTON will certainly be the Deputy Manager
of the Hay Market Theatre next season. From-all
accounts we may expel to see several performers of
little repute at present, but who are likely to be.
crime favourites with the Public, when their talents
are brought into a conspicuous scene of alion.
We hope the report is untrue that Mrs. Si DDONS
means to retire from the Stage. The loss of such
talents to it would be universally and sincerely re.
greeted.
The Dutchess of ST. ALIIAII26, and her lovely
Sisters, were the only Fashionable* in Kensington
Gardens on Smutty last, and we are surprized they
escaped a mobbing, as the brutal conduct of a great
part of the company towards the female strangers,
could have been excited only by the elegance o
their appearance.
It is to be hoped that the ixtolent footmen who
wait at the gates of Kensington Garden', and to
whom we recommended the attention of a Pres:,
gang, will not be furnished with ProtrBions them.
helves, since they are- disposed to shew unoifending
females no protalion.

- Several forged Bank of England Notes for
.51. and
soh have been passed lately in the neighbourhood
of Christchurch, Hants; and a person resident there
being suspeled to have assisted in circulating them,
the Rev. Mr. Wit.t.ts, of Sopley, issued Warrants
on Thursday for apprehending him, anti ibr search-
ing his home. Three, forged Notes were found in
the house, which the man confessed to have received
from one Sylvester, -alias Jones, in exchange for
smuggled pods. Sylvester is a suspicious .charac-
ter, well known at Fairs, &c. where he passes for
a horse-dealer, but was originally a button-maker
at Birmingham : he has resided sonic tune near
Christchurch, Hants, anti occasionally at Mere, in
Wilts. It was judged he was then at Mere : Mr.
WILLIE, therefore, immediately set all for that
place, accompanied by a farmer, who had taken one
of the bad Notes, anti travelled all night, in the hope
of apprehending Sylvester ; but these laudable exer-
tions failed of, their merited tuccest, as *lves:et
wai not to be found.

T • Was an Aftion brought recover eora';
which the Piainiifr had paid to the Defendant. opno
a loss on a Policy of Insurance.—The Plainta. wa!
an Underwrite', with whom the Defendant had
underwritten a ship on her voyage from Derrierara
to London : the loss which happened in this Case
was adjusted and paid, and this was . an ACtioo
brought to recover hack the Money so paid, oo the
ground that. the Insuranee was unfairly effeded and
void, because the Assured concealed front the Un
derwtiter, at the time of efreditig- the InsuranetS
a 'material fad, the which, if disclosed, would have •
operated on the mind of the Underwriter, so that
he would not have underwritten the Policy at the
premium which was paid in this Case; and this was
clearly made out in evidence.
Mr. ERsKINE, on behalf of the Defendant, ad.
Mitted, in the most unqualified Manner, a proposia
tion, which he said was for the benefit of ti
commercial world, and an inducement to Under-
writers to pay just demands upon them without ,
litigation. " That in a Case where the circum.
stances, when they came to be disdoseti, were such
as would have furnished the Underwriter with a
defence to an Adion upon a Policy of Insurance,
and he pays the money without litigation, anti
afterwards discovers those circuinstancesehe shall be
allowed to maintain an anion to recover back the
money so paid, because it was wrongfully paid:a for
notwithstanding. the adjustment of the Policy, th 6
Underwriter 'misfit bring his Adion to recover
that money again, and he was essadly in the same
situation then, as Plaintiff, as if he had not paid
,it at
all, and was Defendant in an Adlon upon the Pu.
Hey of Insurance; so that if the circumstances
would have.furnished hint with a defence to such art
Anion; they would support the present case to
recover the Motley so paid." This was the first
proposition. The second was, " Thal' the As,.
sued received from his Correspondent abroad in,
strudions to make an Insurance, and received more
letters titan Ore eonnetled with the subjed of the
Insurance, and which mixt itself with the risk, and
the Assured sheered to the Underwriter only a part
of the correspondence, and the 'remainder, :Which
was with-held, even if not wilfully, but by nee's;
Bence froM the Underwriter, and would, if coma
naunicated, have varied the risk in the opinion of
the Underwriter, then the Policy was void."
There was a OW proposition"to which he begged
leave to call the attention of hid Lordship and
the Jury, which was this If the Assured
heard a Rumour upon the state of the ship
on which-he was about to tired an insurance,
but not _from his coerepondent, nor from any au-
thentic quarter, but a mere vague rumour, he sv„ts
not bound
,to communicate such rumour :to the
Underwriter, for that he was not obliged to cis,.
culate every thing to the discredit of the concern
of which he had the care ; but if that rumour
should afterwards turn out to he true, then the con.
cealment of it, although there was no fraudulent
intention, should avoid the policy, and that there.
foie, .whenever any rumour of this kind came to the
knowledge of the Assured, it'should rest with
to prove the falsehood of that rumour, if he did not
communicate it ; but if he could prove that rumour
to be false, then -the concealment •of it , from the
Underwriter, at the time of etreding the insorance,
should not avoid the Policy." This was casting. t:,e
burthen of the proof on the Assured ; and he sub.
mitred, it was affording to the Commercial Worlsli
all the security that could be desired against frau.
Solent representations. lie meant to apply this:
proposition to the present Case, and to chew that
the rumour which the Assured hid heard -of, but
did not communicate to the Underwriter, was an
account which did riot come front the correspondent
cif the Assured, per in any authentic shape, and
that in point of fact, it was a false rumour, anal
that therefore the concealment of it did not at all
ailed the Policy in this Case.
The evidence for the Defendant did not at all
support this allegation of the account, which was
concealed by the Assured, being false .--'.Mr,
SKINS said he could not support his case.
Lord ELL a Nuokouott observed, that although
the point made at the 13ar, was nut material to the
the case now before the Jury, as the evidence did not
support it ; yet, he would not have a misapprehens
sion of the law upon this subject, which he took to he
this—That if any information, material to the risk,
came to the Assured, under such ciretunstances as to
be entitled to credit, he was bound to disclose it to
the Underwriter, as well as to avoid any unisrepre.
sentation ; and in case either of concealment of a
material fad, or of miurepresetitation, this anion
was maintainable. This point was pot veeyft
