A private letter front Paris, (lilted May 15,
says—" A plan to shoot the Princes at a review,
by certain non-eommissinned Officers, has been
discovervi at Versailles. Six or seven of them
have been apprehended and Interrokated. These
criminals have confessed their intention of mur-

tiering the Princes, hut have at the same time de-
clared that they were both subordinate agents...•
that they could not ascertain whether the Doc

'WILLIAMS v. GRINDSTONE.

This was• an action of troves to recover the
value of a gold repeater, chain, two seals, end a
key,. which the defendant was alledged to have
converted to his own use. A second count de-
clared against the defendant as asomnum carrier;
charging that he bad undertaken, for reasonable
hire and reward, safely to convey the property in
question from London to Weybridge,
It appeared that the, defendant was driver of the
Weyhtidge coach, plying front the Bolt in Tun
Fleet.!treet. The plaintiff-had sent his
watch to town 14W repair, aml upon being com-
pleted, it was delivered into the hands of the de-
fendant, without being booked, for the purpose of
being carried to Weybridge. It never reached
the plaintiff. There was no evidence given that
the defendant had wrongfully converted the watch
to his own use,• nor was any proof given that the
price of conveying it to Weybridge would have
gone into his pocket.
Mr. MAHRYATT SUbMitted, on the part-of the
defendant,thai the action of troVer4as not male,.
tamable, inasmuch, as there was no proof of lrjs
having' tortionaly converted the watch ; and se
condly, that he • yeas not liable, 'as a common
carrier, for negligence, for in that case the'action
would lie against the master, and not the-eervent.
Lord lita.ewnottOtlGH acquiesced in these points,,
and the plaintiff was ISOOSUIted.

'Yesterday morning sotrie soldiers belonting to

THE SUN.'

SULtAI QUIS DICEIIt rm,sum ItuDEATt;

LONDON,,
THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1817.

We give this day the Correspondence between
the Suprethe Director of Buenos Ayt'es and the
Portuguese General Lecort, from will& It would
appear that the Portuguese intended to avail
themselves of the dissensions between Buenos
Ayres and Artigas, in order to extend their do-
minion as far as Praiguay, and thus add a large
and valuable Terrftory to the Brazilian Kingdom.
This project, bow ever, has been frustrated In a
manner not altogether anticipated by the Brazilian
Government.

Reports were current in the City this day) that
Government had received alarming accounts from
Spain. Upon enquiry we do not find that these re•
ports are well founded. Private Letters, however,
were yesterday received, which we understand
state, that the news of the Revolution at Per=
nambuco bad reached Madrid.

Trade is very brisk in the City. Orders for
goods ♦re giving, and ships taking op, to a greater
extent than has been known for many months past.

It it again reported on 'Change this morning,
but we believe without any foundation, that Go-
vernment hive givrn orders for the immediate
equipment of 6 sail of the line and 12 frigates,
destined for South America.

We received this morning a sort of qffiche put
forth at Paris, announcing the intended pnblicu-
flan of a Series of Letters addressed to Lord
Lovekings, a Peer of Ireland, which, it would
appear, have for their object some satire upon his
Lordship (whoever he is), the first title of the
proposed work being Diogenes at Paris; but we
are not acquainted with the, secret history of the
publication.

The Underwriters at LLOYD'S have refused all
insurances upon vessels from Holland or the Hans.
towns, in consequence of the Moorish privateers
that now infest the Channel.

The accounts received this morning front An-
tigua, dated the 12th of April, ere of a distressing
nature ; they state, that the scarcity of provi-
sions, and the small quantity obtained, were
charged most exorbitantly high. Several vessels
had been difpatched to America to ptocure a sup-
ply, but from the accounts received they had been
but partially successive.

FEVER AT EDINBURGH.

As many of our Readertt must have friends anti
connexions at Edinburgh, we conceive it to be
• our duty to relieve the anxiety which they will
-naturally _feel, byextracting the following Letter
from the Edinburfth Coloont of the 12th inst.:—
TO THE E.DIVOII OF THE. COURANT.
sia,--As the public mind seems considerably agitateti
with 'respect to the dangerous tendency of a fever which leas
been for some time past prevalent to this city and its vicinity,
and still occasionally occurs, I think it proper, as Surgeon to
the Edinburgh Charity Work-house, in order to relieve, in
some degree, the anxiety which a.matady of this kind so na-
turally excites, to stare, through the medium of your Paper,
that in the Autumn of last year this disease (typhus (eves)
broke out in that part of the establishment appropriated to
children, where it raged for some month*, and that although
every one of them, about 400 in number, were attacked by
it, they all recovered, ua,e only excepted, who died in con-
sequence of a sudden hatmorrhage from the lungs.
These cases, not withstandiug the unavoidable disadvan-
tages attending the management of a contagious disease in a
crowded hospital, appear to me a decided proof, that. this
fever cannot be of so dangerous a nature its has been gene-
rally apprehended. At the same time, every necessary pre.
caution should certainly be adopted for the purpose ut pre-
venting or mitigating so serious a disease.

THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.

At Newcastle, the new flag provided by the
Corporation, in expectation of the birth of a Royal
Heir, was.mounted on- the Castle, half staff high,
on receiving the melancholy Account. The bells
tolled, and gloom sat on every countenance.
On receiving the melancholy account at South
Shields of the death of her Royal Highness the
Princess CHARLOTTE of WALas, the marks of
sorrow were visible in every countenance. A
muffled peal was immediately rung at the church,
and the, colours of the ships in the harbour were
displayed in mourning, and were to be continued
so until after the funeral.

At Durham, the bells of St. Nicholas' Church
rang a mourning peal, and the great bell of the
Cathedral Church was tolled a considerable time.
The inhabitants of Sunderland had resolved,
that, on the day of the interment of the lamented
Princess, the shops should be closed, aad the usual
occupations of business suspended the whole day ;
that the colours of the,ships in the harbour should
be hoisted half mast high ; and that the minute
bell should toll during the morning, distinguishing
the hour of interment by a muffled peal.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.---Wednesday morning a
man went into a shop in Drury-lane to see an ac-
gnaintance ; he soon after came down stairs, and
went into the yard, where he tied himself up by
a rope he had about him, to a large iron nail in
the wall he hung in that state' until discovered
by the landlady, who cut him clown. A surgeon
was sent for, who .used all proper remedies, and
the man was sent to St. Martin's workhouse.

Tuesday night, John Sherer, of Flanders-ferry,
Waltham Abbey, had about three hundred pounds
weight of eels, of about 201. value, in an eel box,
fastened with a chain to the side of the river Lee ;
during the night some persons (supposed a gang
of poachers who infest that neighbourhood) broke
away the chain, forced open the lock of the box,
and escaped with all the eels.
