Lieutenant- Donadieu stated, that he' had a war-

press seamen, and that in pursuance of that duty, he
went into the King and Queen public-house, which
was kept by the defendant Glu. khert. His Mid-

were men of wars men ; upon which he asked for
their tickets of leave of 'absence ; one of them
immediately ran away, but he kept the other Until
Gluckhert, attended by a mob of people, followed

A French emigrant of the name of Pierre Henry
Chei:qand, 'was lately taken ill at his lodgings in So-
:tilers Town, and soon afterwards died. On the
morning atter his decease Mrs. Percy, h►s executrix,
uu looking over his papers, was greitly surprised at
not finding the property described in his will. She
immediately applied to Lavender and
.131 y, offieersiat
the above office, who commenced a search, in the
course of which Arcing suspicion fell .on a French-
man of the bame of Fitzjames, and his wife. Toe
officers procured a search-warrant, 'and proceeded to
the residence of Fitzjames, whet e they, in a drawer,
found a purse containing twenty-five guineas, and
one Spanish doubloon, which purse Mrs. Pert y re-
colleded that slie bad seen in the possession of M.
Cheirtrand a few moments before his decease. The
Oficers also found oat an old French woman►,, who,
during the illness of the deceased, had attended him-
as a nurse, and whom Fazjames and his wise en-
deas..oured to intimidate, to prevent het giving testi-
mony. By her evidence, however, the ,A hole of the
transaction relative to the robbety was discovered,
but she was not able to give any account of what had
become of• the property, The officers afterwards
found nearly the whole of the property buried in a
field behind the workhouse at St. Pancras.
Fazjames and his wife were yesterday fully com-
mitted to Newite for trial,

In our account yesterday of the Dinner given by
the Lord Mayor of Dublin on the 23d instant, tho
Anniversary of the great Irish Rebellion, we stated
that one of the toasts given on the beetisibii was
" Lord a:A our brave Army:tti I'ol
gal." • This toast natutally induced Mr. W W.
POLE to rise, and he spoke to the following vtf...ct
wss evidently atlecied,• and expressed ihs'wo!st
grateful feelings for the honour cont..rrett on ills
brother.. He thanked his Lordship and the com-
pany for-this, to him, most flattering testimony o
their approbation of • the pubis cervices and elm,
ratter of abrother, who, he was proud to say, had
devoted it to the service. of his c. ti ~try-;
that fits Cothr brother, the Marquis of Welle,)ey
had, at the cof,Anencernent of his public life, proved
his atfetion and attachment to Ireland, and maul,
fested the love he bore his worthy by having sup
ported measures then calculated to further its irate-
tests, that he must be allowed to express- his feelings,
that he did entertain a just pride in reflecting, tharbe
was one of a family most indedendent in their
cumstances,who with no other wishes or objects than
the service of iheir country, had devoted 'all their
best exertions to its glory and -welfare.; that fbr
himself, he could say, that • none •ot his brOthers
had it more at heart to promwe the general wel-
fare of the empire 'thin hittis..P., and more parti-
cularly to secure the happiness and-prosperity of
this his native country ; that with this objeCt efer
before him, he had always 'tided to the best-of his
abilities and jud,,,ment ; that he would not give up
his views of her true interests for any man, or yield
his opinions' to court popularity; but, however his
. conduct or actions might be mistaken or censored,
fee wouldsfirrnly and. steadily olrsue his endeavou't s
for the welfare and proSperH,' of Ireland, which lie
would always promote with the 'best effort~ of his
lite sand atthlv.

Mr. Pole's .speech was received with thelondeit
acclamations, -and, u soon a3-the general hth-st of
applause hadinbsided, Atlf Htmon-rose and pro-
posed the health' of Mr. Po!e, wh7ch was again
drunk with, the loudest,applathe, -ond Mr. Hutton
took that opportunity, in a very h:itndsorne. tua'Aner,
to papa compliment to•Mr.-rPole- for the rumlitiess
of his conduct as ,a Statesman, and the reaitude of

Mr..Pomi again rose, and in a fow sentenOes.-est-

GUILDHALL..--Jolt 4 Chr0,7211/ was charged by Mr.
Eames, of the Angel /inn, on suspicion of being the
person who committed the robbery at that inn on
Thursday last.

The prisoner, it appeared, had gone to the stable-
yard of the Bell Savage Inn, LuVgate- Sunday
night, and there tort a number of eireurtstances re-
lative to the robbery', and to the discovery of the per-
sons who had perpetrated it, insinuating that' Mr.
Elutes, the masteie of the Angel Inn,. was hitthelf
implicated.

:The prisoner had been-employed about the An:SO
Inn yard, for ten or twelve dais previous to t 1 e ron7'
beryi lie had 101 then been extremely, poor, in Want
even of a shill; tg, but On Saturday he had been seen
with bank not es in nis possession, and.on Sundiy;
at the Belle Savage, hf. 4 produced a silver.' watch.—
These circumstances, joined .to this Additiotil one,
that every th tug he had told at the Belle Save re-
lative to the discovery of the rotiber at Stoney 86-af-
ford), was a. fabrication, induCed Mr. Eaves now to
charge the prisoner as being himself the robber--a
charge which he felt himself the more warranted
making, the prisoner having been busy. about the•
yard oh the morning the robbery was diScoveted at
an earlter 'hour than there was any. occasion for hit
services.

The circumstances of the robbery being already
under investigation at Bow-street, the prisoner we.s
oiticred to be carrieJ thither. '

the loans raised' in England have otten rlii prised and
astonished. you, Napoleon •you have tosln ntly ad,
mired' the people of England '(not t!it,se in; speak
well of on here) for their attadhmient t•i their Go-
vernment.' You have' often envikd us that public
credit,. which is itybe met With in Etf-4land only,
which ad your elVorts will never be.able to weakens,
still less destroy.
An illustrious Statesman, Mitlisl, Earl of Oxford,
has thus,d4ined the public credit outnry :
" Public crrdit Was to the people of Great li i-
fain what tliesoul of man was to his body. It was
a plf.e it was' itnwaterial: in iiseif.; and yet it.
wits that which.gaye to sulAtauce fint,!•ti•,ns. It

ki rced • its precise seat in the body- Imlitic cook
not be discovered ; it at once pet vatted oer., and
proceeded out 'of the whole. It both gave and' re-
ceive a it1s animation and its' existence. It was not
property, 10t..n0 branch of the body could call it
its own ;_it was.not the King's c!edit, it was not the
credit of Paftamtot, it was Public Credit ; was
that thingwiticlrSplung from. the happy coneoNion
of all the vital juices of the national haute; 'thick

and their mutual co-operati in ; which•gave to the
national system a sympathetic connection and union
of aCtion,a'c,n-sespoodence:Jod promptitude, which ,
in matters of finance
,is: known by the name
puncluality ; this public credit was the soul of Eng-
land, it was that which carried the nation to a
height Infinitely beyond its numerical power. Ji
was our credit that set all the calculitious of politi
cal arithmetic at defiance ; it den: eel the cold &Ili_
denceof those who judged !of our oieans by the
geographical limits of, the island, or 'the- visible
number ot people. Public credit did not even
look.to seen; by -as its basis, it always connected se-
• entity with putiduality;'—Read this attentively,

and means for raising money are detailed iffrify last
publication, and May be seen in Mr. Walsh's able
pain phlet.

As so much his, been said about our paper money,
.first,. by our arch .enemy, And re-echoed in this
country; I will say. a few. words on the subject :
Gold and silver for this coontry can only..be.looked
upon as a commodity, nothing more.than
,an article
•of merchandize, it has nothing whatever-to do with
:•the riches or the revejiiites of the country:, Former-
ly, in Hamburgh; illidni and millions of ducats,
louts, and gaideits; were importi and .exported in
-the cintrse of a 'year ; perhaps :more wild passed
through'. the hand of the merchants there than
any Other, tnercliants in Europe ; does it follow
• that Harnburgh is as wealthy as London, as Paris,
as Lisbon, or Sr Pet,n-sburgh ? If the French armies
were not in the PottS'of the North of. Europe, we
-could still get over that commodity with the same,
te:ility as we could import quills or feathers
,fits only have a free trade to Chili, Lima, or Mexico,
4..iand we can get gold and silver in abundance, but our'
;merchants w•ill prefer hides and other articles froM
those countries to gold and silver. 1 will venture
to assert that, five Millions sterling in-gold,,
-and t i.vo.or.three•tni.llions•• in silver Were put in' cir-:
_et-dation, every clamour about " cur rilinoci system-
would cease. ~This;• Is not a- Country edteciat.ecirm;

run upon the Bank at the beginning of the Austrian •
War, in 1805. It is well known, that When your
army was marching from Boulogne to G.:I-many, the
Parisians surrounded -the do!.rs. of -the Bank (rum
morning to night, and even all night i they. were
asSembled in the Plact.drs Victoires (a 'square where'
the Bank is), surrounded by soldiers, knocked dOwn
with the bayonet, and even fired upon by yotrr
liveried satellites ; about six or right notes, of Sou:
francs each, were changed by the Bank in the course
of the day, an.l those. notes were indorsed by
the Muntcipaiity,..describingthe beatTr, and after
eight or ten days waiting ttx the exchange of the
notes, the hoiderS sold them, with a losS 'of trom 50
to 70-cer cent. However, a Decree from Um, at.
'er the glorious victory over Mack, 'threatening the
money changers with tliegalloWs for taking so large
a discount, as well as those who offered the notes
for sale at a discount, so frightened the 'Parisinn4,
than they soon recovered themselves from their
alarms about the.solvency of the Bank, and this Na-
poleon calk " convertible into specie at pleasure,
and•not faced.-1 The observation, " that money
is plenty at 4or b per cent." convinces me again
that .this Journal de l'Empire was never circulated in
Fiance ; and thiS cotiviaipn is strengthened by the
lanfarounade, " that the manufactures of France
never prospered so much?--,Pray, Emperbr Napo-
