have already had several Conferences.
" The Duke 41'Angouleme, it is said, intends
shortly to visit all the Public Establishments of
t'he Capital, accompanied by the Minister of the
terior.

" ft appears that the principal object of the
journey of Madame Manson to Paris, is to publish
further details respecting the affair of Fualtles,
'which she means to sell in person.
" The following official article appears in the
Stockholm Journals :—' We have read with as-
tonishment in the foreign Journals, some articles
concerning Sweden. The statements which they
contain are too absurd to merit the honour of a
formal contradiction.'
" A letter from Frankfort asserts, that in sere-
?al States of Germany changes are expected in
the form of the Government.

ANOTHER ACCoUNI• OF THE LOSS OF THE

LIVERPOOL, MAY 26.—The Robert, SANDS,
Irrived from Nassau, from whence she sailed the
17th ult,, brings an account of the loss of the
Princess Charlotte Packet, from Jamaica, on the
tiog.sties. The passengers and the crew, toge-
ther with the mail and specie, with the exception
of about 30,000 dollars, were all saved, and car-
tiled into Crooked Island. The 30,000 dollars
above mentioned were left in the wreck, and
'here was little doubt but they would be saved
The'Captain of the Picket had arrived at Nassau,
4nd chartered the schooner Primrose, in which he
%ailed on the 14th tilt. for Crooked Island, to
IFing the mail, passengers, and specie to Eng-

Y• S. One account of the loss of the Jamaica
4 aCktitt states the accident to have happened on
Ihe 28th March. This most he incorrect, as she
ici not sail from Jamaica until the 29th ; yet
there is not the least doubt but that she is lost.

This day demands the particular attention of
"."'Y friend to the British Einpire, and of all that
Meat' to man in the Social State. It is not only
"'titled to attention as the Anniversary of the
Ilirtil-day of one of the wisest and most virtuous
Statesmen that any Country ever possessed, but
°I °lie who, by his wisdom, was enabled to frame,
I" by his eloquence to support, a system which
presented this Country, and which, under the firm
tlliarince and zealous perseverance of the present
tiuvernment, effected the deliverance of Europe.
"bhppilv he did not live to witness the glorious
'4lBe4literices that resulted from a steady mainten-
°tire of his principles, but he bequeathed the fruits
of liis wisdom to the latest Posterity of his Country-
'ieu, and as long as they remain attached to those
141"ciples, so long will their religious and politi-
cal freedom be secure, tinder a Constitution that
ren'lets us the objects of admiration and envy
Icli every other People on Earth. We leave
11'"r'Int, childish, cold-hearted, and factious
:lel', to clamour about the expences in which a
3"t and necessary war inevitably involved us.

but the blessings attending the.

lerefore, to bear unavoidable evils with patience,
ati'fied that Peace is restored, and that our ex-
Pellces are gradually in a train of reduction.—
xilese 'considerations are naturally suggested by
v4e anniversary of the birth-day of the illus-
ittl°us character, to whom the Country and all
I'.".°Pe are so much indebted, and we therefore
tt..loice in the existence of that body of true P""

OLD BAILEY.

TRTAL OF CHARLES RENNETT.

This morning the Court was crowded in every
part, it having been publicly announced that this

singular business would be finally investigated
this day. On the Judge's entering the Court,
,Charles Rennett was put to the bar. The Jury
being sworn, the indictment was read, charging
him with having, " on the Bth day of November
last, at. the Parish of St. Sepulchre's, in the city
of London, feloniously stolen, taken, and carried
away, a certain male child, with an. intent of de-

priving, and did deprive, the parents thereof."
Mr. ALLEY stated the circumstances, which have
already been before the Public, -at some length,
and concluded by calling

Mr. Horsley, whose testimony went to prove
the loss of the child, and also a number of other
circumstances ; he positively denied ever making
any promise to induce the prisoner to suppose that
he would not prosecute, or that he obtained the
possession "of the child by the means of the
prisoner.

Elizabeth Holbrook, the servant-girl from
whom the prisoner had stolen the child, was the
next witness examined. Her evidence was con-
fined to" the day on which the transaction took
place. She stated that on Sunday, the Bth of
November, 1818, sbe was sent out with two of
her master's children, in a small four-wheeled
chaise : Joseph Charles Horsley was One, and
Sarah Elizabeth Horsley the other ; she met the
prisoner, whom she had known in the early part
of the preceding September, in CeLnoonbury-lane;
he made love to her ; called her his sweet-
heart, and said he would marry her ; lie told
her he had. received a letter from his fa-
. titer at Birmingham, and she must go• down
there to be married ; and added, that he would
follow her the next day ; she went with him to
Smithfield with the children ;, he took tier to the
Saracen's Head Inn, Snow-hill, and put her on
the Birmingham coach, nod .said that he would
take the children home safe ; but she saw no
more of him till he was -at Bo .v-street, the 24th
of last month, in custody.
Two letters were then put in and read, which
the prisoner had sent during his confinement, to
Mr. Macnamara, the English Consul at Bremen,
also to Mr. Horsley, coddled in the most
Hating terms, containing a full confesSion of his
guilt, and imploring mercy from the prosecutor.
The case for the prosecu ion having closed,
Mr. Justice BAILEY called on the prisoner for
his defence. He put in a long written paper, in
which he severely arraigned the conduct of his re-
lations towards him ; it also contained some
strong imputations against certain persons, with
respect to sotott property. •

Mr. Justice BAILBY then summed up the evi-
dence, and commented at much length on various
parts thereof. With respect to the prisoner's de-
fence, he said in it he had complained of a nunther
of family wrongs ; but if these injuries had been
sustained, certainly a very wrong method had been
resorted to redress them. The Jury, he trusted,
would try this as an ordinary case, and divest their
minds of every thing they had beard out of Court.

The Jury irnn►ediarely found the prisoner
jostiCe BAILEY then addressed
the prisoner as follows :—" Charles RCUnett, you
have been found guilty, bym Jury of your country,
of a very heinous offeiice. It you look back upon
the consequences :hat might have ensued by your
conduct, you will, if you have any feeling, be
stricken with horror ; a premature death might
havt taken place, loss of reason and mischiefs
incalculable occurred, for which you could never
make a recompenee. The duly. I owe to tine
public compels me to state to you, that the highest
punislru►eut apportioned by Law, namely, trans-
portation, will follow this ()littler."

The prisoner lett the bar rather gaily, and ap-
peared in good spirits during the trial.

Both Houses of Parliament' adjourned yester-
day for the Whitsun Holidays—the Lords to
Monday seennight, and the COMMODS to Wednes-
day next.

ADDRESS FROM THE SUN

THE SHAM; OF WILLIAM PITT.
On his 131nTu-DAy, May -28, 1519.—Intended fur the

Anniver-sao; Dinner.

BY JOHA TAYLOR, ESQ.

SHADE OF IMMORTAL PITT for thee I glow---•
Thou gaest me Being*, and thy care I 'claim,
Fouled in the hour of universal woe,
When REVOLUTION spread her fatal flanao '

Heav'n sent thee sure to chace the dire alarm,
And rescue Europe, else in ruin hurl'd ;
Thou had'st BRITANNIA for her freedom arm,
And raise her hand to prop a falling world.

Not less thy priise, when Sophistry arose,
And all her baneful Creed expounded here;
Thy potent voice snbdu'd internal foes,
And stonp'd wild Innovation's wad career.

Hence from the fervour of thy patriot pride,
That BRITAIN might to TRUTH her safety owe,
I ROSE, to spread thy System far and wide,
And shine a Moral Sun to all below.

True to that System since my race began,
In steady course I kept my onward way,
To guide from error's mists bewilder'd Man,
Nor waste on Tyrant Power a single ray.

And like the glorious Orb that fires the skies,
Diffusing blessings to the world around,
May I like that in daily radiance rise,
Like that be bright, and clear, and constant found.

Ncir let me burnt forget whose zeal for thee
First laid the basis of this Patriot Band,
The Parent-root of many a Brii ish Tree,,**
That stretch protecting branches o'er the Land.

Besides, Oh! HoNotnen SHADE, to gnard the Realm',
If e'er portentous storms burst forth again,
See LIVERPOOL, who steady at the Helm,
Will steer securely o'er the subject Main.

And, to ! the CHIEF' § who led the VICTOR HOST,
At WATERLOO, on GAUL'S inglorious flight,
Amid
.0' eternal Laurels he cam boast,
• Proud of presiding at thyNATAL Rim

And last, of LAW the venerable Sage,
•. LDONI, in wiFdont and in virtue great,
With yonthful ardour blending cautions age,
Friend of HIS KING, and PILLAR OF THE STATE.

Oh as this day returns, tO.THEE assign'd,
A day to wisdom and to virtue dear,
May BRITAIN still such loyal Vot'ries find,
To hail thy menfry, and thy worth revere.
