Yesterday a man of the name of Cosgrove, a
Printer, was brought before the Sitting Alderman,
at Guildhall, charged with having publicly made use
of treasonable and seditious language. It appears this
man was drinking at a public.house, in the neigh:.
bourhOod of Fleet.street, and when there, exclaimed
'.with so much insolence against the Name and Per.
son of fits Mist esTy, as to induce same poor men,
. who were, in the taproom, to get a Constable,
and take him into custody. The Landlord of the
house was brought forward (though not very wit-
tingly) to corroborate. the charge ;. and the Magis.
trace ordered the Prisoner to be committed to the
Compter, until a future day. The condo& of the
persons who doused this man to be taken into cus-
tody; will, we trust, convince these diSseminatori
of sedition and disaffedion, that it is not safe at
all times to give vencto their galled minds in the
company of the poor, but industrious parts of so-
ciety,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A GENTLEMAN AT

NEW-011.LEAN3, DATED DEC. 18) 1802.
" Being present this morning at the Intendant's
Office, when the original of the following Royal
Order was transcribed, I seized the opportunity of
procuring a copy, and have translated it in a
hurry, under the hope that it will be acceptable to

you.
" The Minister of War has communicated to me the fol-
lowing—" In a letter of the wit inst. Don .Ps.DR 0 CZV AL-
Los informs me as follows : Whereas His Majesty has
ceded to the French Republic the Colony or' Province of
Louisiana, in all its present extent, and as it was held

you thereof, by his royal order, that you make the ne-
cessary - arrangements for the delivery of it to the French
Commissioner or Commissioners, who being duly authorized
by the Government, may present themselves for the pur.
pose. Which royal determination I have made known to
the CaprainXeneral of Louisiana, intorming him at the
same tune, that .it is His Majesty's pleasure, with rasped
to the Regiment of the place, and the Military that garrison
the province, that individuals who voluntarily wish to remain
under His Majesty's dominion, shall, after delivering up the
Colony' proceed to the Havanna, where other posts will be
allotted them. Of this I advise you by Royal Order,. that
you may comply with that part or' his Royal Deterinination
which relates to you .% God preserve you many years.
" SOLER, •
• 4, Minister of Foreign. Affairs.

" To the Intendant of Louisiona,
" Madrid, July 10, 11102."

In addition to the above we can state, on the an-
thority of a Gentleman who left Paris on the gth of
OEtober, that the Cession was universally there
known to have taken place; that Companies formed
for the purpose had purchased large trals of land in
the territory, of the French Government, and had
opened subscription-books at various places in Paris,
to obtain purchasers who were to embark for, and
become Settlers in the territory.
On Wednesday, Jan. 26, Arax. AolmoN, Esq.
was found guilty by the Senate of the State of
Pennsylvania, of the charge' presented against him
by the House of Representatives. Twenty votes
were given for declaring, him guilty, and four not
guilty.
The following is the Sentence pronounced against
him by the Speaker of the House of Representatives
on the succeeding day, viz.

" That ALKXANDER Apaisqx. President of the several
Courts of COUITTIOr% Pleas, in the fifth District of this State,
shall be, and he hereby is rernove&from his.oftice,of Presi.
dent aforesaid", artd :Also is disqualified to hold and exercise
the office of Judge in any Court of I.4w.within the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania."

A singular robbery was committed between eight
and nine o'clock on Saturday night, On' the South
side of Berkely-square. M. Os Boattig,..rettirning
to his house in Mount-strev,, had. just turned the
corner a Flay-hill, -when a man came running up
to him, .exclaiming, " An elderly Gentleman has
just fallen down in a fir ; pray, Sir, assist me in
getting my master to a coach." Mr. 02111ORN.E
immediately crossed to the spot where this old Gen-
'lemma was supposed to be, struggling, when he saw
a man lying on the ground near the iron :ailing that
encloses the grass plot; on the instant of his coin.
ing up with the man, the first who had addressed
him demanded his money,;. the other immediately
jumped up, and with dreadful menaces seconded the
demand, and sobbed Mr. OSSORNE 4)f his watch; a
one.pound note, two seven-shilling pieces, and some
silver with Which the villains got clear off.

Friday night, an inquest was held an the Fox, in
Wardonr-street, on the body of Dararit Lovell, other-
wise aeorge Mango, who was found dead on Sun.
day morning last, at the centher of Nuel.street
and Wardour-street. It appeared in evidence, that
the deceased, who was 'a man of colour, had pro-
cured his livelihood, for many years, in the' streets
of London as an itinerant tinker. He went into
'the Crown, in Oxford-street, on Friday morning,
whete he was served with a haunt of tea and a but.
tered roll. He returned in the evening to the same
house; and had a pint of beer; about eleven o'clock
the same evening, he was discovered by the watch-
men in Watdour-srreet, sitting under a door.
w4y, where Andrew 'Pollock, a watchman, find.
ing him, insisted on his leaving that place, and
forcibly 'dragged him to the opposite side of
of the street; which is St. Ann's Parish, where he
left him. The watchthen helongitig to St. Ames,
finding the wretched being lying on a door-way
on their bear, forced him back to the side of the
street in St. James's Parish, where Ire remained,
till Pollock returning.to cry the hour, asked him,
"\V#tat he did there- a second time, after he
had driven' him 'away ?" when the deceased
exclaimed, " O God, I am dying !" " Then (re-
plied the watchman) you shall not die here : you
must do that somewhere else." The deceased an.
swered, "I am not able to stir—a am a dying man P'
"'I care not," said the watchman, and then either
dragged or carried him a second time to the oppo-
site side of 'the street. At seven o'clock he was
found dead on the Sr, James's side.
The Jury returned the following verdia :—" It
is not proved in evidence that the deceased did
affinity die otherwise than a natural death; but it
is very clearly proved,. that Andrew Pollock, the
'Watchman on duty' in Wardour-street on Sunday
night last, has been highly negligent of his duty,
by omitting 'to take that care of the deceased which
he was bound to do, and 'by such omission, the
said Jury is clearly of opinion, the deceased lust
his life."

On Friday night, between nine and en o'clock,
a young lad, who was to perform the office of Page
at Drury.lane Theatre, by some mismanagement of
the springs, fell'down a trap-door. His thigh was
broke, and be was Wiled immediately to an has.

Mt. Cdor tit, Who has distiliciisighei his talorif
on the American Stage, appeared last' night at rhti
Thegrh in the eharaßer of Ifaiiiht. This Pet-,t
former possesses a voice that is r).verftil and welt 4

capable of etpressing a variety of emotions:
His figure is manly, arid his afticM expressive, it
not graceful. His general conception of ibis ~iifit:

He was much too .long in his pauses, but these
pauses seemed' to be the result of, intelligence. Upon
the whole, if Mr. Coot' Elk's performance dia not
fully embOdy the expelation of critical precision,

of merit.

He delivered the. Address to the Player in an tin:.
