ACT OF GRACE.

ACT OF GRACE TO PERS'ONS CONFINED FOR PENAL-
TIES UNDER THE REVENUE LAWS.

We have great pleasure in communicating the
following " Copy of a Letter to the several Re-
venue Boards in England, Ireland, and Scotland,
for the release of certain prisoners, in consequence
of his MAJESTY'S
Coronation," which, we trust,
will be gratifying to the parties concerned :
" Treasury Chambers, 26th July, 1821.
" GENTLEMEN—I am commanded by the Lords Commis-
sioners of his Majesty's Treasury, to acquaint you that, in con-
sequence of his Majesty's Coronation, my Lords are pleased to
sanction the release of all prisoners confined for penalties for
breaches of the laws of the Revenue under your management,
who may have been confined for any period exceeding six
months ; and I am to desire that you will forthwith take the
necessary measures for that purpose, unless there should be any
special case of improper conduct m jail, or of very flagrant cha-
racter, when my Lords desire the same mr.y be submitted for
their consideration and directions.
" My Lords are also pleased to extend this Act of Grice, un-
der the same exceptions, to all prisoners who have not yet been
in confinement six months, when they shall have completed this
terrivof imprisonment; si7nd they desire, that instructions be
given to their several cases, so that they may be released on the
day on which the six months shall expire.
" I am further to acquaint you, that my Lords are in like
manner pleased to sanction the release of all prisoners confined
for debts, due to the Revenue under your management, less in
amount than 1001. who may have been confined, or when they
shall have been confined, three mrths • and they are pleased
to authorize you to discharge the books ofyour department from
the amount due from such persons, and desire you will take
measures accordingly, unless there should be special circum-
stances attending any particular case, as before-mentioned,
when my Lords desire you will lose no time in submitting the
same for further directions.

" 1 am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,
(Signed) S. R. LUSHINGTON.,,

INTERESTING STORY.--A Chieftain, whose
large estates were forfeited in the rebellion of 1715, received at
St. Germains, from the confidential agent of a powerful noble-
man, intelligence that his Grace had obtained a grant of the
lands from Government, and would make them over to the
young heir, on condition of paying an annual feu duty, and a
sum in ready cash, much less than the value of the domains.
To restore his hereditary estate to the heir, and to ensure a re-
spectable provision for his lady and ten younger children, the
Chieftain would have laid down his life with alacrity. He made
every possible exertion, an his friends, and even the exiled
Prince, contributed in raising the amount demanded. He was
known to be a man of scrupulous honour; and when the family
regained this estate, they relied upon the lady making remit-
tances, to pay the loan by instalments.—Securely to convey the
ransom of his late property,
.the Chieftain resolved to hazard
liberty-and lire, By venturing to tlie kingdom Trom whence he
was expatriated. Re found means to appoint at Edinburgh a
meeting with his lakly, directing her to lodge at ihe house of a
clansman, in the Luckenbooths. On arriving there, she would
easily comprehend -why lie recommended a retreat so poor. The
lady set out on horseback ,unattended, leaving her children to
the care of her mother-law ; in those times such a journey
was more formidable than now appears an overland progress to
India. To the lady it would have cost many fears, even if her
palfrey was surrounded by running footmen, as formerly when
feudal state pertained to her husband ; but she would not place
in competition with his safety, an exemption from danger or
discomfort to herself. He had by two days preceded her at
Edinburgh, and bore the disguise of an aged mendicant deaf
and dumb. His stature above the common height, and majes-
tic mein, were humbled to the semblance of bending under a
load of years and infirmity ; his raven locks, and even his eye-
brows were shaven ; his head was enveloped by an old grisly
wig, and tattered night cap, the remnant of a handkerchief
over his chin hid the sable beard, which to elude detection
was further covered by a plaister. His garments corres-
ponded to his squalid head-gear. Oh, how unlike the mar-
tial leader of devoted bands, from whom she parted in agonies
of anxiety—not unrelieved by hope. A daughter of this
affectionate pair attempted to give the writer some idea of their
meeting, as related by her mother after she became a widow ;
but language vainly labours to describe transportiug joy, soon
chastened by sorrow and alarm. We leave to imagination and
feeling a scene most exquisitely agitating and pathetic. The
chieftain explained his motive for asking the lady to make her
abode in a chairman's house. Besides his tried fidelity, the
old tenement contained a secret passage for escape in case of
need: and he showed her behindla screen, hung with wet linens,
a door in the pannelling, the hinges of which were so oiled that
he could glide away with noiseless movement. If it was his
misfortune to be under such necessity, the lady must seem to
faint, and throw the screen against the pannels, while he secured
the bolt on which depended his evasion, and the chairman had
exhausted his skill without being able to cure the creaking it
occasioned. The chieftain gave his cash to the lady, urging
her not to delay paying the amount to his Grace's confidential
agent. She complied, but checked all ,inquiry how the
money came to her hands. The rights of the estate were
restored to her, and three gentlemen of high respectability af-
fixed their signatures to a bond, promising for the young chief,
that whenever he came of age, he would bind himself and his
heirs to pay the feu duty. The records were duly deposited in a
public office, and the lady hastened back to her lodgings. The
chieftain soon issued from behind the screen, and the lady was mi-
nutely detailing how her businesshad been settled, when stealthy
steps in the passage warned the proscribed to disappear, and the
Lady, sinking to the ground, dashed the screen against the pan-
nelling. The common door was locked ; but it was soon burst
open by a party of soldiers, led by an officer. The Lady's
swoon was now no counterfeit. A surgeon was called. She
revived, and being interrogated, replied no human being was
with her. The officer assured her, that he and several of the
soldiers saw through a chink in the door, an old man in close
conversation with her. She then confessed that an apparition
had endeavoured to persuade her lie was commissioned to im-
part tidings of her husband, but the soldiers interrupted them
before the spirit could deliver the subject of his mission. Every
part of the house had been searched while the Lady lay insensi-
ble, and as no discovery ensued, the tale she related passed
current at Edinburgh, and spread over the lowlands and high-
lands. It was not until the Lady had a certainty of her hus-
band's decease in a foreign land, that she told her daughters
how successfully she had imposed on their enemies ; and surely
no story of an apparition has been seemingly better attested.—
(Inverness Courier.)

WINDSOR, JULY 31.—Sunday evening the
town was very full of company ; the great at-
traction was the promenade on the Terrace,
which was crowded till a late hour.—The
numerous band of the Life Guards continued
playing till near nine o'clock.—Saturday, being
what is called Election Saturday with the young
Gentlemen at Eton College, great numbers of
Nobility and personages connected with the
families of the Students of that celebrated Semi-
nary arrived here, to be present at the celebra-
tio❑ of the day. The young Gentlemen,
in boats, dressed in fancy and appropriate
dresses, proceeded up the river to Surly Hall,
where they were regaled with refreshments ; the
band of music accompanying them. On their
return, a brilliant display of fireworks were let.
off, and the weather being very favourable, at-
tracted a great concourse of spectators. an
Monday morning the young Gentlemen of Eton
College left for the holidays.
