RECEPTION of DON PEDRO at NANTES

(From L'Ami de le Charte, published at Nantes, of the
31st of January.)

Don Pedro arrived at Nantes on the 28th instant, at
five in the afternoon, by a steam-boat, accompanied by the
Marquis de Louie, the Marquis de Palmella, M. Xavier,
Minister of War; M. Monshino, Minister of Finance;
Colonel Freire, President of the Cortes in Portugal ; the
Chevalier d'Almeida, and several officers, who crowded
the Port Maillard, and were received with shouts of
" Vine Don Pedro"—" Vive la Liberte." This circum-
stance will not be to this Prince one of the least remark-
able attending his voyage to Nantes ; it proves to Don
Pedro that the French people wish for the success of his
enterprise, provided it should prove a triumph for liberty.
Don Pedro proceeded to the Hotel de France, where a
guard of honour attended, furnished by the line. In the
evening he received the civil, military, and judicial autho-
rities, and the next day the ecclesiastical authorities. Sa-
turday, the first of the two balls took place for the benefit
of the indigent. This fete was a very gratifying one, and
Don Pedro took pleasure in attending it ; he danced with
Mademoiselle de Saint Aignan, and the Marquis de Loule
with Madame Saint Didier.

All eyes are naturally turned towards the foreigners, who
appear charmed with the curiosity of which they are the
object, and the reception given to them.

We had resolved to keep silence respecting the expedi-
tion prepared by Don Pedro, but, better informed as to the
effect that the publicity of these details may produce in
Portugal, we shall pursue henceforth a contrary course.
Humanity and justice require the fall of Don Miguel, and
the interests of France, henceforth truly constitutional, re-
quire that the Governments of the Peninsula should be
at least modified by institutions which may be rendered
as popular as our own. The success of the expedition of
Dun Pedro, securing the establishment and maintenance of
the Portuguese Constitution, and the triumph of liberal ideas
in Portugal, will necessarily prepare that of Spanish liberty.
Will France remain an indifferent spectator of the con-
test? Doubtless a fleet bearing our national colours will ap-
proach Oporto and Lisbon, to preserve our fellow-country-
men from the prey of the crowned tiger. Duc Pedro re-
spects the neutrality of France, but France is a maritime
and mercantile Power, and will do all that the law of na-
tions permits in a neutral country. Don Pedro is the
Commander-in-Chief of the expedition for his daughter,
Donna Maria, the Queen of Portugal.
_ _

The following is a correct list of the force of the expe-
dition which menaces Don Miguel.
The naval force is as follows :—.

Two frigates (at BeHeide) el I?eynha de Portugal and
Donna Maria Seconda, one mounting 54 guns, with 500
men, and the other having 44 guns and 400 men.
Three corvettes, one of 24 guns, with 250 me❑ (the
Junon anchored at Belleisle) and two of 26 and 24 guns
(at Terceira),

Five brigs and galliots (at Belleisle.)
Three brigs and three galliots (at Terceira.)
Two bomb vessels of 250 tons, completely armed and
equipped by a merchant at Dunkirk (at Belleisle).
Two large steam vessels, the Superb and the Duke of
Wellington, now at the quay at Nantes.
A considerable number of large boats for the debarkation.
A sufficient number of vessels have also been fitted up
as transports.
The following is the amount of the land forces :-
8,000 of the expeditionary troops, well disciplined and
well appointed, assembled at Terceira.
2,500 men, recruited on the continent, and sent to Ter-
ceira by the ships fitted out for the expedition.
500 marines furnished by the fleet.
300 Portuguese volunteers.

The general rendezvous of the expedition is at Terceira;
the land and sea force are susceptible of augmentation ;
and will, doubtless, exceed the list which we have here
given. . .

1 - The ammunition, provisions, and requisite funds for the
pay of the troops, which have been for three months on
board the vessels at Belleisle, will be for three months
more at Terceira. Never, even for English vessels, were
the provisions furnished with more care or profusion. The
personal spirit of the expedition is excellent. All the men
are animated with the love of liberty, and resolved to
conquer or die.
The fleet is commanded by Admiral Sartorius, a supe-
rior officer, distinguished in the British navy, and there are
fifty other English officers, and fifty marines of the same
nation. Numerous purchases have been made at Nantesf
from divers individuals, which were well paid for.
Don Pedro embarked on board one of the steam-boats,
to join that part of the fleet anchored at Belleisle.
On the 29th, Don Pedro, wbo had handsomely contri-
buted to the object of the ball, promenaded the town in the
most simple dress, and in the evening received at dinner the
Prefect and several Chiefs of our Administrations, and
afterwards went to the theatre, where there was a bril-
liant assemblage.

ACTRESSES.—A funeral sermon was preached
upon NELL GWYNNX by the Archbishop of CANTERELT/tY ;
the notorious NAN CATLEY was received in the highest
circles after her marriage; and the remains of Mrs.
OLDFIELD, after lying in state, were borne to Westminster
Abbey by two noblemen, where a monument was after-
wards erected to her memory.
FORTUNE'S FROLIC.—There was lately a
performer acting at the Dover theatre, on a salary not
passing twenty shillings a week, and, of course, though
he had served in the army, he was somewhat puzzled how
to carry on the war, when news came tkat a younger re-
lative, a Baronet, was no more, and that the actor suc-
ceeded to the title and seventeen thousand pounds per an-
num.—Sunday Times.—[A fact. The person alluded
to is Sir ANSTMITHER ; he was eating a shilling
dinner in one of the Bow.street ordinaries, when the news-
paper containing the account of the death of his relative
was placed in his hands.]
ADVENTURES ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER.

—A second edition of Mr. Cox's account of his extraor-
dinary " Adventures in the Wilds of America" is now pub-
lished. In one of the journeys performed for the purpose
of forming a settlement in the interior, the author wan-
dered from his party and was lost fourteen days in a
country little better than a wilderness. His sufferings
during this period must have been extreme, deprived as he
was of all nourishment, except what the wild cherry and
brook afforded, and exposed to the unremitting attacks of
wolves, bears, and rattle-snakes. " This narrative," says
the Times, " engages; our attention almost as much by
the unadorned style and air of candour with which it is de-
tailed, as by the startling and interesting nature of the
facts it discloses."

Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr.
STIRLING, at the Nightingale public-house, Lisson-grove,
to inquire into the circumstances connected with the death
of JAMES FLETCHER, only 21 years of age, author of
" The History of Poland," and other works.—Mr. JOHN
ATKINS, Abbey-House, St. John's Wood, schoolmaster,
deposed that the deceased lived with him as an assistant
for two years up to Christmas last. During that time he
published " The History of Poland," a work which ac-
quired considerable reputation ; he was also the author of
some poems, " The Siege of Damascus," " The Gem," &c.,
and was a contributor to several of the periodicals ; and,
induced by the success of his work on Poland, he gave up
his situation at Christmas last, and devoted himself solely
to literary pursuits. The deceased was of very sensitive
feelings, and complained frequently of the unkindness of
his friends. Latterly he suffered a great deal of anxiety
respecting a bill of exchange, which he received fur the
copyright of one of his works, which he was afraid would
fall back upon him. The idea of not being able to pay
this bill wrought powerfully on his mind, and witness had '
no doubt but that that he was at times insane. GEORGE
NEWPORT, a medical student, deposed that he was on very
intimate terms with the deceased, and lodged in the same
house, No. 3, Grove-terrace, Lisson-grove. The deceased
was always silent and reserved, but within the last fort-
night lie became pensive and low-spirited. On Friday
last he did not rise until five o'clock in the afternoon, when
witness came home to dinner. They sat at table together,
but the deceased scarcely ate any thing. He remained
silent the whole evening, apparently wishing to avoid con-
versation, and seemed in a doze the most part of the
time, with only one interval, when he looked over some
papers connected with a work on India in which he
was e At treonmoi
ec o'clock
Witnessiirg eel
wished him to
him go
to bedrga
"good night ;" lie returned it with a warm pressure of his
hand, but did not speak. It appeared that he did not go
to bed, as he was found next morning sitting in the same
, t he promised
chair quite dead. A pistol lay on the floor by his side,
and, on examination of the body, it was discovered that a
pistol-ball had entered under the sixth rib on the left side,
passing close to the heart. A Juror asked Mr. NEwroar
if the deceased had ever conversed on the subject of suicide.
Mr. NEwrowr replied in the affirmative, adding that the
deceased always deprecated such a means of flying from
misfortune or disappointment. About a week before his
death he and the deceased were talking about the suicide of
Colonel BRERETON, which the deceased condemned as an
act betraying a want of proper mental energy. The me-
dical gentleman who was called in to see the deceased, said
he had attended him previously, when his mind appeared
much excited, considerably aggravated by a disease too
common to men of studious habits indigestion. Ver-
dict--" Temporary insanity.
