The departure 91 the King for his continental

[MORNING POST.]
Two sets of French Papers which had been
due some, days arrived at a late hour last night.
They are to the 29th ult., but contain nothing
that is new and little that is interesting. It ap-
pears that as late as Friday -last .the arrival of
our King in France was not known in Paris, for
these Papers continue to mention various specu-
lations respecting the place at which it was
thought likely that his Majesty, would laud. An
article from Berlin expresses doubts of his visit-
ing that capital, but states,. as a matter of greater
certainty, that an interview would 'take place
between the two Monarchs on the Prussian fron-
tier. Private letters of the 15th and 16th ult.
from Lintz and, Vienna, say, that the Grand Sig-
nor and the Divan rePose the greatest confidence
in the Austrian Government, and do every thing
which catt•give'it satisfaction. The• latter add
that no general battle had then taken place be-
tween the Greek and Turkish fleets, but admit
that in an engagement with a division of the Ot-
toman squadron, all the large vessels of which,
with the exception of 'tty'o,_ •had valiantly-suc,
ceeded in escaping, " a certain number of small
ships of war and of trap "sports had.alonelallen

added,- had .probably given birth to the report of

however, that instead of discrediting -that re-
port, the present statement confirms it in some
important particulars; and when we ~are told
that even after its junction. with the armament
:seat by the Pacha of Egypt, the fleet commanded
by Cara Ali does not consist of more than five
sail of the line, several frigates, and: corvettes,

the Chiefs of the Revolution, General Arco-

rIVORNIN:.

A.'MerningSP-aper,..in: its accustomed vein of
serious pleasantry-;- remarks, that it would he. a
very -satisfactory research during the King's re-
sidence at ilanover, that some of the learned
men'in his suite should pr6cure leave- to bring
to England frori the Library there, " Lenfant's.
HiAory of the 'Council of Basiliti 1431." We
.
rejoice to hear that his Majesty haS the aforesaid
learn-ed men in his suite, mind burn with impa-
tience to communicate the names of these learned
Pundits, whose modesty, equal- to . their me-
rits, has permitted them to leave their native land
in silence and obscurity. The stupendous re-
search of procuring leave to bring the work
to England, .we cannot so much admire. The
project is mighty, but the means are great. The
task of detecting the desired volume on the
'shelves of the library, -will indeed demand the
most subtle wit and profound learning, of the
age. We will, nevertheless,- venture to affirm,
that Sir W. Curtis and Sir E. Nagle are . fully
competent to the accomplishment of the laborious
undertaking suggested ,by our contemporary.
Beltoni's removal of the Memnon Head will lie
quite eclipsed in fame by the lifting of this book,
and all'Europe Must be in amaze at the ingenuity
that prompted the design, 'and the learning that
is destined to give effect to it. Too much praise
Indeed cannot be conferred on our contemporary,
who discovered the proßer persons, and the be-

fitting means of accomplishing the enterprise,l
and lent mrpo.l.t) project an air.,ot Stich weight
and poniposity.-2---We 001 soon hear of a lion 'S
head being est4Mished in Row-street. Already
secret charges are entertained, and the party, ac-
cused is sworn to his own innocence. A Magis-
trate is making rapid strides indeed towards the
character of an Inquisitor, when he can. say'
(as in the case of Mr. Youde)., " a serious
charge is laid against you, Sir, and the name
'of the accuser is known only in our Holy
Office ;. will you sign an affidavit declar-
inr4 your innocence?" In the event of the
party refusing to -accede • to this proposal, he
would of course be presumed guilty ; and thus
the only difference between this mode of pro-
ceeding and that of the Holy Office is, that the
question is administered by an affidavit instead
of a thumb-screw.

pure patriotism of this paper, and we shew the
delicau and 'candour of its wit aria humour.

KILN-DRYING.—In consequence of numerous
applications to the Board of Excise, the Commis-
sioners have kindly ordered, by a general circu-
lar to the collectors in their respective districts,
" That no objection be made by the officers of
this revenue to corn, grain and pulse of every de-
scription, which has received injury in the field,
being dried on the kilns belonging to malt
houses, in which no barley is actually making
into malt. But they at the same time strictly
enjoin, that whilst any such corn, grain or pulse
is so drying, the respective malt-houses be vi-
sited by the proper officer every day in his resi-
dence, and as often as if the same were regularly
worked in other places, to prevent any undue
advantage being taken of this indulgence."

THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT ST. - PAUL'S-
7i'esterd4 forenoon at twelve o'clock inqui,
sitions were taken in the Board-room of St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, before. THOS. SHELTON,
Esq. Coroner on view of the bodies of Thomas
Mulligan and James Mayhew, who fell from a
scaffolding in the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral,
on Saturday last ; one of ivhom,was killed on the
spOt, and the other died shortly after his removal
to the Hospital. Mr. Lingard; Deputy Surveyor
of the works, was then called to prove the state
of the scaffolding.. He considered the materials
perfectly safe -and good :• " it was common Scaf-
folding,uot such as are used in building churches."
The ledger which broke hada nail-hole through
it where it cracked, but heidid not consider that
that caused it to break. Coroner.L--Then what
caused it to -break ; or how did .the accident
occur, if the timber was sound ? .

Suicrnt.—A person yesterday, about half-past
one; threw himself into the
,Serpentine, Kensing--
ion Gardens. A gentleman, who was an eye-
witness of the transaction, immediately gave an
alarm at one of the gates. The keepers hasten-
'ed to the spot, and,made many ineffectual efforts
and wasted considerable time by searching with
• ~.
a long pole. Finding' their' attempts fruitless,
they procured a drag, and immediately succeed-
ed in raising the unfortunate individual, who had
been three or four hours under water. It, seems
he had made a previous attempt to end his exist-
ence by cutting his throat with a razor. A small
incision had been made on the right side of his
neck, without taking off' his handkerchief, but
his resolution failing, he complete-d.the work of
death as above related. His pockets . being
searched,
,contained two shillings and a penny,
without any memorandum or letter whereby he
could be traced. He bad on a. black coat and
waistcoat, blue trowsers, shoes. and' stockings,
and .a.yellow neck handkerchief. Tile is *an eld-
erly man, apparently a mechanic: his body was
conveyed to what they call the Suttling.House,
Kensington Palace, to tiWait the -Coroner's In-
quest. The razor was found not: far from the
edge of the water.

DARING BURGLARY AND RolliEßY,--Between
the.lloßO-Of one and' five on Saturday morning,
a most daring robbery was' committed- at Beau-
monGlodge; 'the mansion of VisCoUnt ASituabox,.,
at Old, 'Windsor.' 'the servants had not retired
to rest till past one 6'clOck, -and lights were
buftriing during the night in several .of the sleep-.
.ing rooms, his Lordship, with his family, being
at the lodge. .Nevertheless a gang of determined
thieves bad the. audacity to break. into -the.prin-
cipal suite of apartments. on .the ground floor,
which they plundered -of all the moveable ar-
ticles of value within their reach. . The parlour,
the windows of which open to.the lawn, was.-first
entered, by the removal of a pane of glass, and
the use of a centre-bit. The thieves then lighted'
up the wax candles that remained in the rooms,
and deliberately proceeded to rifle every drawer
and cabinet In the parlour,-and the three adjoin-
ing apartments. The locks of the several pieces
of furniture were either forced, :or .toles drilled
through the' fronts with a centre.bit. . Amongst
the articles taken away were four French orna-
mental clocks, a silver ink-stand, a gold box
with a miniature, ;two surtoat coats, and a va-
riety of trinkets and. articies'of, taste ; an ivory
casket of very costly workmanship was forced
`,open, and of course' greatly injured, but not re-
moved. They were even-so-cool in their opera.;
tions, as to break open a.tea-caddy, and remove
the tea. By the, traces which the. robbers left
behind them, it appears that they entered Lord
AiIIBROOK'S premises throttlsh the .adjoining
grounds of Mrs. BONNELL; where it is conjec-,..
tured a light cart was waiting to receive- the
booty. Three persons at least must have been
concerned in this robbery, and there is no doubt,
from the style of their operations, that they'. must
, have been_ practised thieves.
