THE CASE OF FUALDES.

The extraordinary trial which some years ago
took place in the south of France, in consequence
of the assassination of M.FUALD cs, and which, on
account of the evidence and conduct of Madame
MANSON, and other remarkable circumstances
connected with the case, engaged at the time
the attention of all Europe, is likely to become
again a subject of public interest, if the fact stated
in the following letter-be true :---

" Toutousr, Sept. 2&.
" 3lONStrull—l beg of you to give the greatest publicity to
he following statements :

" who- was at first implicated in the charge, and
afterwards cited as a witness in the proceetlings relative to the
assassination of the unfortunate rualtles; - died at Rodez on the
20th of thissnonth. Before he died he made and signed the
follovai.ng declaration :

" • 1,, the undersigned, bong on the bed of ecn.th, wishing to
appease the rernorse.of my conscience, and to repair, as far as I
am able, the wrongs I hove committed, do declare before God,
who searches my heart and knows that I speak truth, that all
that I deposed relative to the assassination of M. FitaLles is 63rn-
pletely false ; that it was only the fear ofdcath with which I was
threatened that induced me to say I was in .rhe house of Bancal,
and was present when the body was thrown into the river; and
that it was only to save my life that I made the said declaration,
which I now of my full and free will retract, desiring that this
retractation may be made public at my death.

" Given at Rotlez, in one of the halls of the Hotel-Diets,
Sept. 4, 1821.'

" (Approved and signed by Bousquier ; after which the re.
gistration, &c. follows.) • •

`• This declaration., under seal,- was presented by the Abbe
de Seguret to the Vice.. President of the tribunal of.Rodez, who,
on the 21st of Sept;:mber, drew•up a minute of the transaction,
and ordered the document to be deposited.

" I abstain at present from all reflections_; but lithe deposi-
tion of Booquier false, what becomes of the evidence of Bich
aril the woman Bancal ? " ROM IGI.7IERS, Sen."

II unnicaier.--Witrex or TilE ELIZA.--011 Monday
last, a dreadful storm came on from the N. W., and, we are
sorry to announce, that it was the occasion of much damage on
our coast ; the few vessels moored in. our Bay felt its effects
most materially. A Welch trader was driven from' her
rneorings at Kingstown Harbour, dragging her anchor after
her ; she nearly escaped total destruction, as she passed within
two yards of the end Of the new pier. A brig, of con-
siderable size, was in precisely the same situation,- and was
preserved by the prompt activity of her Captain and crew.—
A fine three-masted ship, the Eliza, Mr. Wilson, proprietor,
was wrecked, in Kingstown harbour, on Monday ; she had been.'
built by the late Mr. Keogh, and was considered one of his best
efforts ; she had arrived from, Quebec only last Wednesday
week, was bound for this port, and laden with timber and some
casks of potash. A few days back she was moored within the
Pier, and at six o'clock on Monday morning the violence of the
hurricane caused her to drop her anchors ; and, being driven
forward with rapidity, she struck on the pier with prodigious
force, and filled with water instantly. It was very fortunate
that she was so near aid, and also that her cargo consisted
chiefly of timber, or she must have been entirely lost. Her
broadside struck against that part of the pier nearest to the si-
tuation lately occupied by the Active, which formed part of the
Royal sgeadron.—All the men employed in the works at Kings-
*town were called on to aid in getting the Eliza off; her masts '
were struck, the lumber landed, and she was lightened as much as possible; the labourers and crew toiled all day in vain, and
at last, about half-past eight on Monday night, slie.Was cleared
from the-. pier, and towed in towards the slip. It was for-
tunate that her loading, which formed a solid bed of timber
.prevented her timbers from being staved in ; -her outer' prialts„... only are materially damaged; and, if the weather continues 'as
it is at present, there is every hope of her preservation from a"y
very serious damage. Ten or twelve casks of potash have been
landed from her ; her stern is, at this there, much sunk ; she is
completely filled with water.--(Dublin. Correspondent, Oct. G.)
A rumour having prevailed in this City for some days, that
the Shamrock, cruiser, .had beenlost off the coast of Doneg,al,
and that every person on board had perished, we are happy
in having the best authority to contradict such a report.-.--
A le.tter was received ea the Custom-house, this day, frem
Captain Montgomery, dated the 3d inst., at Lough Ryan, on
the coast of Gallowaysliire, stating that he Shamrock had en-
countered a heavy gale, but did not suffer any dainage.—(lbid,)
On Saturday morning, while some boats belonging to
Cambletown and Skipncss were at the herring fishing in the
Sound of Kilhrannan, it came on to blow a perfect gale of
wind, when, we .are sorry to say, a boat belonging to Camble-
town, and another to Skipness, upset, and all cm board perished-
-(Edir !-urgli Courant, Oct.o 6.)

ANTIQUE BOATS.—About two months ago, two
oak canoes, each 21 feet in length, and excavated
from the tree, were found in Loughisland Ravey,
near Castlewellan. The right side of the one,
and the left side of the other, were convex in
form ; the opposite sides were perfectly straight,
so as that the two could have been occasionally
joined together. Swile curious implements of
war were found in th,e bottoms of these canoes.
The timber of these antique vessels was per-
fectly sound, and the whole in a high state of
preservation. Unfortunately the finders, who
liad little respect for antiquity, have burned part
of the canoes and made furniture of the remainder.
