THE STUART PAPERS.

Ilast. 10, 1817.---Latterly the Stuart Pa-
pers have been the chief subject of conversation
her,e. The whole of those which hail been. in the
.possession of the late Cardinal Yoax, forming a
Sopplament probably to those in the Scotch CO-
legato Paris, bait been traced and purchased by a
Scorch Gentleman of the name of Watson, a re-
sident here during part of the late war. They
have since been secured and sealed by order of
Government ; the person from whom they were
purchased is arrested, and at this moment a Pa•
pal Gens d'Arnies keeps. guard in the house. My-
;Self and bad a short view of them before
they were'seized, in company with Mr. and
Lord How, the papers first got out of the
Cabinets of the Cardinal i have not heard ; hut
they.came law the possession of Tassoni, audi-
tor of the Pope, and were Confidentially entrust-
.,eazo a Priest of the name of Ltassi• Watson heard
of this, and, after assuring himself of the authen-
ticity of the information, applied for them to the
Pr!est. •Lossi'reeptired the permission of Tassoni,
and it is understood, that by well directed doh-
cenrs his concurrence was obtained. A receipt
was given bin two 'attacked crowns, anti thapa-
pen secured in ‘Vatson'alodgings, The new pos.
sessor of them talked, and would take no advice.
The circumstance at length transpired. Tassoni
regretted the affair, and apPlied.to the Secretary
of State, who interfered, on the ground of a frau—
dulent misrepresentation by Lnstai. The latter and
the papers were immediately seized. This is the
exterior. state of the case :: what other motives
,way have prevailed in the affair is still a matter of
discussiOn. .

and .Fisher, a fresh and youthful adventurer from
the country, will take place to-day, on a chn'sen

Some Gentlemen converting in a coffee-room at
the West end of the town, on the benefits arising
from our excellent Ctinstitution of Governmentin
Church and State, one exclaimed, it is brilliant
in the extreme, but I am in want of a metaphor
to express its brilliancy, A wag in an adjoining
box cried out, " Why then, Sir, compare it. to
WARREN'S Blacking, which pOssesses the powers
of producing an incomparable lUstre, which also
gives durability to the leather, and sets aside all
pretences to improve an article in which WAR-
nat4 (who has lately rettoved to the Strand) has
been ev justly celebrated for a long serics of years."
