PATENT GASSED LACE.

THE above beautiful, clear, and transparent
article, in every description of LACE, both figured and
plan, from the finest Bobbin Nets, Quilling', &c. to the
lowest and coarsest article of British manufacture, may be
had of every respectable Dealer in the Kingdom.
The rough and fibrous properties of every kind of British
Lace, and its tendency to run up and thicken in washing,
have been the subject of universal complaint of every Lady ;
it has therefore been a great desideratum to render it equal
in :nearness and transparency to the most valuable Foreign
Linen Thread Lace. The PATENT GASSED LACE is
easily distinguished from any other, at the time of purchasing
it, by dipping the smallest piece in water, and perfectly
drying it : if genuine, it will, on holding it up to the light,
appear as clear as before; but. if not, it will thicken and be-
come full of fibre, for coalition Lace has a partial and arti-
ficial clearness given it by starching,which it loses in washing,

ALSACE, FEB. 26.—Acs affray, atteinded with

bloodshed, has taken place near Wissenburg, be-

teen SCHTIE French and some Bavarian troops.—

The affair is related as follows :—About 100 paces
beyond Wissenburg• is the first Bavarian out-post ;
near tbis is a public-house, which is much fre-
quented by French troop 3 of the garrison of Wis-
senburg (the Legion of the Jura). Two grena-
diers were there some days ago, at the same time
with some Bavarian soldiers, who got into a

quarrel with them, anil were beaten. They im-
mediately fetched to their assistance some of their
contractes„ who came in great numbers, and are
sohl tkrhave used the Bavarians very roughly. It
is stated that several are severely wounded. The

next accounts will give us more particulars of a
circumstance, which is the mote disagreeable, as
the good understanding bet weeri the French and

e Bavarilln Authorities has not hitherto expe-

rieneed the sii;:,h!est interruption, a►►d the inha-
bitants are united by the ties of affinity. We cave

hitherto wished in vein that the troniier oil this
side might be reguiated—this has nut vet h.:en
According to the Treaty of Paris of 1815.
a tract of 150 toises in diameter, on the left bank
of the Sombre, beyond Wissenhiirg, shall belong
to France ; but this tract (a Rayon) is not mark-
ed out : hence arise many difficulties which it
would be for the interest of both sidos to have
euninated. Similar disputes frequently arise in
he mountains with the Donani.rs. Ail this
monkd not happen if the conditions of the Treaty
were at length executed, and the frontier deter.

AUGSBURG, APRIL 3 —The Carbonari,arrested

in Upper Italy, are imprisoned in the Venetian
Island of St. Michael, where the preparatory in-
vestigations for their trial are malting. Accounts

fiont Florence to the 270 of March are full of de-
scriptions of the test ivities that have taken place
there. The Austrian Court intended to -leave
Florence.on the '29th, to proceed to Rome by way
of Sienna, Prince Metternich set out for Rome
on ,he 26th, by way of Leghorn.
The matriag, (4 the Princess Louisa Charlotte,
daughter of the Duke of Calabria, with the Spa-
nish infant Don Francisco de Paola, is fixed for

FRANKFtinr, APRIL B.—The murderer of

Kotzebue was still living yeste,day.. It is aa9ert-
ed that several writers, who are supposed to eh-
terta;r3 t•'re same sentiiiienrs as Kotzebue, have
receiicd anonyairirts letter Y, in which they -lie
warned nut to he traitors to the cause of Ger-

natty.
‘llRussiu.s, APRIL 9.—Yesterday evening, RI

alf -past 7 o'clock, a foot soldier of our garrison

was -found expiring in the street(, and carried dead
to our hospital ; he was stabbed in four places in
the breast, and had a sabre wound on the head.—
Within these few days, several Other sol-
diers, more or less severely wounded, br.,e
been carried to the hospital. Another article
says, that this man received his wounds in a
quarrel at a public-house ; that an unhappy dis-
sention has by some means broken out between the
troops composing the garrison, which would have
probably been attended on this occasion with fatal
consequences, but for the exert ions of the officers,
who with some difficully restrained the soldiers of
both corps, horse as well at foot, in their respec-
tive barracks. Numerous patroles, both of lit..;
stirs and infantry, hindered the partial rencontres
from becoming serious. The presence of the
Prince of Orange, who happened to be near the
barracks, contributed greatly to restore order, anti
a Court Martial is engaged in the investigation of
the affair, in order to punish the guilty.
HANOVER, APRIL 3.—The Assetnbly of the
States is near to its dissolution. In the sitting of

to-day was read a communication from the Prince 1
Regent,' of the sth of January last, in which his
Royal Highness declares his views with respect
to the future General Assembly of the States, and
requires the opinion of the Assembly. In this
commnivieatiOn his Royal Highness says, ''''That
it is not the plan to make great changes in the
Constitution; according'to which the States have
the rigs.! to grant taxes,.and to share in lite .Le-
gistation—partly because experience has shown
the utility of -this -ancient-Constitution of the
country,. and .partly because Constitutions intro-
duced upon inertly theoretical principles will ne-
ver he .so advantageous as those which have been
gradually4ormed according, to the wants of the
State." H.
In the. Second Chamber .will be the Members of
the Board•of Taxes, who are not.nobles 3 Depu,
ties •from the Administration of Ecclesiastical Pro-
perty ; the. Deputies of .the smaller Abbeys ; one
Deputy from the University of Gottingen ; 29 from
the cities ; and 22 from the possessors of free
. estates, who do not belong to the Equestrian
Order. The Hereditary Land-marshal (and ju his
absence the President of the Chief Board of '1 axes)
presides over the United Chambers. Each Cham-
ber proposes three of its Members, from whom the
Sovereign selects one to be its President. The
Diet meets every year ; the Members are elected
for 6 years, but may be re-elected : no persons
will ever be admitted to hear the debates.
The propositions from the Sovereign are to be
addressed to both.Chauthers : if their decisions do
pot agree, an union is to be attempted by a com-
mission chosen by both, to which Commissioners
from the Sovereign may be added, to promote an
agreement. It is necessary in propositions from
the State, that both Chambers shonld agree. The
present Assembly is invited to deliberate on this
subject, after which ft will be dissolved:

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle.]
Extract of a Letter from Barcelona, .March 28,,
1819.

" At length judgment has been pronounced on
22 Officers comprised in the conspiracy of Gen.
Lacy. The celebrated General Milans, so welt
known by his activity in the partisan war against
the French, whilst acting under Generals O'Don-
nel, Campo Verde, and Copons, has escaped the
fate which awaited bins, and now enjoys a com-
mand in the army of Buenos Ayres. Seventeen.
of the Officers incarceisted in the fortress of Mont
Jouy are condemned to death, and it is thought
that the ungrateful Ferdinand will not change the
fatal sentence in favour of those unfortunate men,
covered with v,-ounds received in the defence of
his cause. Most of these victims of their love of
a liberal Monarchy, wr:re unaegnainted with the
plans of General Lacy; and every thing makes us
prestrre that tyranny will not dare glut its ven-
geance out of the encloSnre of the almost inac-
cessible Mott Jolty. The population of Barce-
lona is strougiy agitated, and this city perfectly
resembles a besieged town. Pie Ramble is. to-
tally covered with Militaty or with Monks, The
Sea Wall, formerly Cie rendezvous of our fair
Catalonian belles, is now a perfect desert ; and
t;though the Captain-General be unviversally
loved and respected, there reigns in this city a
spirit of Liberalism, which was ever the result of
the love which the Catalonians always bore to-
wards the sacred eal;se of lincrty,
At the first news of the raising of the quintas
(conscription), the most forcible opposition was
openly manifested, especially in the environs of
Ripon, and the valley of Talara. The service in
the Cadiz! expedition is so unpopular, and its ul-
timate success so doubtful, that not one Catalo-
nian will' willingly enlist. Tie soldiers of the
line, on their road to Cadiz, desert in crowds,
and seek refuge in Mount Sirriat and Mount
Seign ; they there form themselves into bands of
armed robbers, and attack travellers on the high
roads, in the open day. During the last eight
months, with the exception of a few vessels tiom
Havannah, not a single ship has entered our port
froM the ci-decant Spanish Colonies. •M--
G-- and -Messrs. brothers, have lately
stopped payment ; 'and without sonic phenome-
non, which we cannot now foresee, the loss a
America will cause the utter ruin of Catalonia."

A MYSTERIOUS AND UNPLEASANT
A Banker's check on Messrs. licurimcisley and
Co. was presented on Thursday the Ist of Arnil,.
for payment of ninety-eight pounds, the amount
Mated therein. The dra,ver's name being yr-
unknown to the Bankers, and the person in
whose favour the check was drawn having re-
ctived the amount in cash from a third person,
Messrs. Hammersley and Co. detained the check,
with the view of eiscovering-t he person who had
so unlawfully and daringly drawn upon them. An
advertisement was inserted in The Chronicle of
Monday, the sth instant, to ascertain it the indi-
vidual signing the check (A. B. Chuckley) was
known, or ever had been known to, or seen by
any Gentleman on the turf or in the betting
circles, bur no such name appears ever to have
been heard of ; and thus has the impostor not
only cheated the credulous receiver of the check,
but has caused him serious and well-founded un-
easiness, the ciictunstance having become the •
topic of conversation. The check is said-to have
been paid in payment of a bet at a horse-race, due
some time since, No trace whatever of any such
man or name as " A. B. Chuckley " can be dis-
covered, although inquiries arc daily waking in
every quarter for this desirable object. Every
possible consideration anti indulgence has been
shewn towards the Gentleman who obtained mo-
ney for the check, -and whose situation and cha-
racter protect him from those measures, and the
suspicion which would probably have attended
such a mystei ions incident in the case of any person
of greater obscurity. It seems one of those trans-
actions which daily astonish individuals, although
unknown to the public.—(lbid.)

[The Times.]
Our Correspondent at Paris writes—" Lora
Whitworth's journey to Paris is discussed, and
proved to Mean nothing ; as if there were stilt
lurking suspicion that something was inc ended by
it, which the firmness of his Majesty Ins oeu-
tralized. There seems to be a notion, that the
Prince of the Netherlands may pay a visit to the
Emperor of Russia."

[Morning Post.]
A vessel has arrived at Leghorn from Tonis.
'% learn that fitty persons die daily in that city.
Some villages round Tunis were deserted, all the
inhabitants having died.
