THE MURDER AT COLCHESTER.

• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,--4 have' read with the greatest surprise an account
of a murder at Colchester, by a person (for what reason I
cannot imagine) who has assumed niy same.
To prevent the public•from supposing that I am capable
of so atrocious and cruel an act •as that with which the
prisoner stands charged, I beg to observe that I never heard
of, nor have I the slightest knowledge of any .person of the
same name as myself, and that I have not been out of Lon-
don for the last month. • . •
I avail myself of this opportunity of saying that I, have
marls up my mind to give up. fighting, having taken the
City Of London public-house, in Berwick-street, Soho; and
where, I hoPe, by strict attention to business and general
gond conduct, to be enabled to obtain an honest livelihood.
Your early insertion of this letter will much oblige, •
Sir, with great respect,
Your's very obediently,

VAGRANT ACTS.

SlR—Change seems the order of the day—and
the spirit of innovation gathers strength; vices
quirit eunda—within the last ten years there is
scarcely one' of the laws which govern the poor
man's conduct that has not been tampered with.
An old country 'Magistrate of twenty years' standing
has' had not only to obtain an acquaintance with in-
numerable new statutes, but to forget the law he
conscientiously digested in his mind before he began
to act, and remodel the principles of his practice.
But he is not safe, what is law to-day may be illegal
to-morrow—and there is, I think, every reason to
apprehend, that the pruriency for legislation, the silly
ambition so many legislators feel, to be the putative
fathers of an Act of Parliament, will be rather more
than less prevalent in the course of the next session.
It is with this anticipation, I take the liberty of so-
liciting your attention to the following remarks :
The Vagrant Act, as a matter of necessity, -must
be tither-re-enacted in its present shape or remodel-
led—or, in consideration of its utter deficiency, re-
jected altogether, to give place for an entirely new
one. I solicit the attention of your readers to this
legislative curiosity ; whilst it is at the same time
vague and defective, it opens-the door in some of its
provisions to the most arbitrary and oppressive con-
duct on the part of the Magistrates.- It perpetually
refers to the intention of the offender, and measures
the degree iu which he is submitted to the mercy or
severity of his judge by that intention, respecting
which that Judge alone is todecide. But will it be
believed ? by the 9th sec. Justices after committing
judicially a poor creature as a vagrant, may compel
persons to enter into recognizances to prosecute the
wretch at the ensuing sessions, it may be nearly three
months after; and the public purse is loaded with
the-exp-ences. I cannot trespass longer on your
columns by dwelling on the' incongruities of this
act. I suppose the late Jury Act, and the consoli-
dation of the Criminal 'yaw, will have several off-sets.
in the shape of little bills, to amend -and explain—
and then with each a knot of these, they will be de-

•
lightfully lucid.
The mail) object of this letter is'to notice the pre-
sent law as it redresses assaults, or rather as it fails

to redress then].

• The steeper of li atenouses will he, I sup-
pose, another 'puddle, in which there will be some
voluptuous rolling.
E. J—, a poor destitute woman, is brutally as-
saulted and beaten. ;She applies to a magistrate for
a warrant ; it may be, she dwells six or Seven miles
from his residence. On a cold rainy day she goes •
to him, tells her story, and after being necessarily
detained a considerable time, till the information anal
warrant are drawn, she pays the clerk two Shillings.
for the precious precept, and gives it to the con-•
stable of her !township, who must have. a shilling in.
hand for • executing it ; at the appointed time she
returns to the Justice, who with the best intern
Lions in the world, can only hold the offender in
sereties. for 'his appearance at the ensuing Quarter
Sessions. In the mean time the constable is entitled
to 6d. per mile ferhis attendance with his prisoner,
which the poor woman must pay, for it Would be
hard in 'that die offender shOuld pay when
-a jury May: eventually acquit. Thus a poor injured
creature iS -sit or seven shillings our of pocket, andhas
lost two dap, and incurred fatigue and trouble,
when probably her earnings are only tirL per day.
Well, hut her redress is at hand—she can indict at
the Sessions. The Sessions may be twenty or thirty
miles flom her botoe, and the witnesses poor as her.- ,
self. It may be, she obtain,s money poftigh to convey
them and• herself to where the Sessions
are held. Then conies the 'necessity of employin,..re
an attorney and counsel, if she mean to succeed,'
Well ! this also is OvercOme. • And the' culprit is
regularly tried and convicted. A rascal ! he gets
properly punished, the Chairman solemnly • pro-
nounces that he shall-be -Flied a shilling to the Kilt";
and further imprisoned for the terniof fourteen-days!'!
Who does tint see inrall this a pompous troublesome
hUmbug. Sir, • every' acting Magistrate sees the
most shameful instancesof the WeakoppiesAed and'
injured by. 'the brutal and strong, • and laments- his
want of pOwer to award a pronipt recompense anif
redress to -the injured party. , brutality of Manners
and conduct is much encouraged by the present state
of the law—particularly among the lowest orders,
and by the want of a sufficient protection against
personal violence. At present.we hear much of the
Increase of crime, and the criterion is the increased
lumbers of prosecutions and convictions for felony,
Sir, this increase leads to a very fallacimiS conche;
,iiore Any one who is accustomed to attend Courts
d Justice cannot avoid being struck with the num-
ber of trumpery prosecutions that are tried.—
Hundreds,- nay thousands of cases, now are tried,
which formerly never -found their way into Court,
and why ? because the. County allowances are so
liberal that police officers and rascally attornies
make a job of them ; no sooner is a petty theft com-
mitted, than a keen nosed policeb off
oreer s iccents out the
thief, his charges are allowed ef the Magistrate,
he makes a profit by hhejOtirney with the poor rogue
to the 'County town.---he Can find twenty petti-
foggers who will frank the prosecutor for the County
allowance, and they all -get a jolly trip together to
the Sessions Assizes to see the bill throWn out.
Now, why should riot two or three Magistrates have
power to dispose of small offences at these petty
Sessions, and why should they not have power at
those Sessions to call for the assistance of a Jury 2-1

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de Fraiee, Nov. 28.)
VIENNA, Nov. 17.—According to accounts from
Constantinople of November 3,.it ispresumed here
that the Divan will not use any reprisals in con-
sequence of the catastrophe' at Navarin, and that
in the end every thing will be arranged according
to the Convention of July 6, 1827. •
PARIS, Nov. 27,--We have already remarked
how' fOreign the discussions of figures, in which the
Journals indulge to confute the division of suf-
frages in the approaching Session, are to the real
question, and .unworthy the gravity of a Legislative
Chamber. We accordingly disdain to take up one
by one the votes reckalted by those Journals, to
shew them the error of their calculations, and to
reduce, by more than one-third, on the whole of
the elections, the lists which they publish with so
much assurance. This would. seem to ns indecor-
Otri with respect to the Deputies elected, and mean,
in comparison with the interests which are confided
in them. We shall leave the wrong to Journalism,
which is still busy about the Electoral Urns, till the
day when all these lies will expire before the Legis-
lative Urn.

The Gazette enters into' some further discussion,
which it concludes by saying : . .

" In support of.these arguments we ivill ask the
Constitutionnel only' for one trial, from which it
~vottld be impossible for it to come off with honour.
It is, to submit its number of this morning, for
instance, to the consciences of all the Deputies whose
names it,places on the list, and we engage before-
hand; to leave on it all those who should decline, on
their honour; that they approve the factious appeals
which that number contains. On the other hand, it
will permit us to strike off all the names of the
newly elected Deputies who should reject with
horror such doctrines and such. language.'!
• We have calculated that, in the Colleges of the
Arrondissements, there were 127 Royalists of all
shades to 136 Liberals of all shades, from the latter
of which• 27 double returns were to be deducted.
Their remain, besides the 263, the two Deputies of
Corsica not yet chosen.

To-day, in the Great Colleges, we have 44.
Royalists and 13 Liberals.

_
The account at present, therefore, stands thus :-
178 Royalists to 122 Liberals.
(From the Journal des Debats.)

PARIS, Nov. 26.—The Count de Peyronnet,
Keeper of the Seals, was at once . candidate for
Bordeaux, his native place, and for Bourges, where
his duties as Procureur-General, had made him
known, and where his son-in-law, the Marquis
D'Alon, is Prefect. His Lordship, in 1824, was
elected in iboth departments. This time he took
care to declare at Bourges, in an official pamphlet,
that having received the King's orders, he promised
to fix his election for the Cher. It is seen that the
Cher has not taken advantage of this favour. Neither
has his Lordship- been elected at Bordeaux. It is
asserted that the Ministry, in its great solicitude for
the election of M. de Peytonnet, and in its just fears
of his failure at the College of liourges, enjoined se-
veral Prefects to nominate him as a candidate in a
College of their respective departments.
(From the Constitutionnel.)

PARIS, NOV. 26.—One is inclined to smile in
scorn on still reading in the papers in the pay of M.
de Villele that the Ministry will preserve a majority
in the Chamber, which meets on the sth of February.
If there is at present one thing clear and evident, it
is the moral improbability of finding among the new
Deputies a hundred favourable to the deplorable sys-
tem we have had the misfortune to be governed by
for the last six years. The Arrondissement elections
have irrevocably decided the question : the Depart-
mental ones can only add the conviction we have of
the fact above stated. M. de Villele and his hire-
lings are so convinced that they speak against truth,
that for several dayspast the President of the Coun-
cil has determined; on sacrificing the greater part of
his colleagues and creatures, in the silly hope of. con-
structing a new Administration, of which himself
should be the head, and which have in its support
the majority of legislative votes, such as it will shew
itself at the opening of tbe Session. It requires all
the tenacity and pride of' M. de, Villele to dare to
conceive such' projects.
Let us examine the present state of Ministerialisin.
ft is clear .that in dissolving the Chamber M. (1
Villele completely deceived himself; -and that, in
the eyes of his partisans, he . has committed the
greatest fault the party had to fear; 'a fault, in short,
so capital that nothing hereafter can repair/ The Mi-
nitry havingso grossly deceived itself in a decisive
measure, where their interests were so .much. at
stake, will continue to blunder on from 'one fault. to.
another; one fall 'will succeed- another, till the time,
which, is assuredly not far off, when it will become
annihilated : this is an inevitable. consequence .of
human weakness. . How is it possible, in such a
situation, at the moment }leis vainly struggling with:
the death„ that, is about to master him--how ,is it
possible that M. de :Villele should find men silly or
stupid enough .to join themselves to a corpse ? In
order to seduce those he wishes .to deceive, in de-
ceiving himself, M. de Villele will not fail to affirm his
ardent love for the Constitutional Charter, his sincere
and absolute devotion to the public liberties; but this
will be now too late. M. de Villele is discredited,
in the eyes of his own people, by the enormous
fault he has committed. The experience of six
years—tke Charterviolated, the laws despised, the
Censorship revived, the celebrated proclamation of
Toulouse—allow none to give credit to his promises
or. believe his protestations P • all France has pro-
nounced its judgment, and has repudiated M. de
Villele. Cuss he find any persons sufficiently cor-
rupt to replace those be intends to separate himself
from ? Who would consent to transform themselves
into politicid puppets, to play the part of a hat, to
enter into an Administration that would be shame-
fully overthrown the very day on which the Cham-
ber discusses the Address, in answer to the Speech
from the Throne ? .
Two truths are. undeniable. The present Mi-
niqry7Cannot stand even till the opening of. the. Ses-
sion,:and.a new Ministry, modified with M. de Vil-
lele, is impossible. It is needless for. M: de Villele
to combat facts so plain—he must bew to them.
Nothing in the world can now maintain him where
he is, not even cannon loaded' with grape fired in
the streets of Paris. - - • . _

The system of violence has not yet been quite
abandoned by .all the soldiers of the gendarmerie.—
The fact we are about to relate proves how neces4ary
it is to dismiss from that body the men who make
use of their aims, not to protect, but to oppress their
fellow-citizens. Yesterday (Sunday) at half-past
eight in the morning, four gendarmes, who were to
escort the carriage of prisoners leaving La Force,
made their horses curvet, to keep the curious at a
distance. A well-dressed man coming out of la rue
du Roi de Sidle, to enter that of des Ballais,
quickened .his step to get out of the horse's way ; a
gendarme, thinking he did not get out of the way
quick enough,.gallopped his horse up to him, and
thus knocked him down. ' The Andignant citizen
raised his voice to complain—the gendarme laid his
band upon his sword, and threatened to strike him
with it. The expression of indignation which ani-
mated all the spectators of this outrage, enraged the
wretch the'rnore; but one othis comrades restrained
him from doing harm by. his bitter reproaches.,

MELANCHOLY AND ItEYOI4TING CONSE-
QuENcEs or A COACH ACCIDENT.---It is our painful duty
to notice some circumstances of brutal villany attending
this accident, by which Hr. CorE was lost to his children
and to society, and which are calculated to chill the blood
of the most indifferent. It appears that when the coach
was overturned, and the passengers lying dead or dying on
the road, the only object of the neighbouring cottagers was
the plunder of the sufferers, and those engaged, in this in-
fFrnal work were—shame ko confess, females ! .who, be-
Sides, refused to lend, assistance or accommodation to [their
figonised and lifeless fellow-creatures, till paid to do so I—.
We ,are at a loss to, know, why the atrocious wretches, of
t4-hose guilt evidence was given before the Coroner, have not
lieen taken into custody, nor any step adopted towards PH-
thring their
punishment.--Leeds Intelligencer.

LONDON,

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1827.

EXPRESS 'FROM CONSTANTINOPLE.
An Express has arrived from Constantinople,

with letters of the 7th of November.

After the

DIVAN had deliberated, they asked permission

to "extend the time for their final answer to the

1 lth; at the same time they assured the Allied

Ambassadors that no harm should befal them or

any of the Christians.

Government have reeeived Despatches this'
morning from Constantinople, dated the Gth,
at which time things remained in the same un-

settled state. We extract the following from the
Gazette de France, dated yesterday :

AuGSBURC, 'NOV. 19.
The Gazette Universal contains the following ab-
stract : •

CONSTANTINOPLF, NOV. '7.

The Porte has taken a strong resolution, which has
caused all incertitude to cease, which lasted .for eight days,
'and agitated the capital.
The Battle of Navarin so greatly agitated the Sultan, that,
no person could get near him for 12 hours. The Reis .
Effendi at length was admitted, and on the 3d the Dragomen
of the Ambassadors appeared in great consternation.
He asked them why they acted against all
and told them that the Porte regretted having lis-
tened a moment to their insinuations, and the pro-
rniies of the Allied Ambassadors, it is assured that
the treaty with the Allied Powers, as well as the conven-
tion of Akermann, is declared void and null ; and that
the Porte breaks off all communication with the Ambassa-
dors:, but considers the Ambassadors protected by
tlte IL-10sta anstione. and meattres their safety. Taxis.
was communicated to the Austrian Ambassador. Every
moment an order is expected front the Sultan to
order a general armament, and the. Prophet's standard to be
hoisted on the mosque of Saint Sophia.
CONSTANTINOPLE, 6 AT NIGHT

Nothing yet has transpired as to the decision of The Di_
van, and the resolution of the Sultan, The Ambassadors
of the three Powers are still here, and peace is main-
tained; several versions are circulated on the advice given
by the Divan, but it will be imprudent to give credit to
them. M. Ottenfels is still working to open new nego.--
ciations under his mediation. We can assure that on
the 7th none of the resolutions which the German
Papers have given had taken, place, and it is in a second
Divan all measures wi4.be adopted. •

The Dutch Papers to the 29th inst., • which
reached us last night, contain intelligence from
Constantinople, which, though not :of later date
than the despatches from our Ambassador, viz.,
the sth lust, furnishes some interesting par-
ticulars, and communicates the fact that both the
SULTAN and his Minister, the REIS EFFENDI,
are obstinately determined to resist the wisheS of
the Ambassadors' of the Allied Powers. Baron,
OTTENFELS, wlio is said to have misunderstood
in the first place the instructions of Prince
METTERNICH, continued to advise conciliatory
measures ; ; in; the mean time every thing was
prepared for the departure of the Ambassadors,
who had sent on board ship the Archives of their
Legation, on The receipt of the news of the
destruction of the fleet at Navarin. It is stated,
in an article from Bucharest, of the .7th
that the SULTAN had declared, tiotwithstandin
, o-
.the destruction of his fleet, that he would not
now hear of an intervention or pacification. The
following are extracts from these papers :
CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. s.—(By way of Augsburgh,
by express.)—nn°the let of this month news was received
here, that the Allied Admirals, in consequence of the con-
tinuance of Ibrahim's operations in the interior of the
Althea, had resolved to attack and to destroy his fleet at
Navarin. Both have been done, and the fleet no longer
exists. The -Divan endeavoured to keep the bad news
secret ; but the report spread like wild fire. The Govern-
ment, however, took energetic measures to maintain tran-
quillity, and up to this time order has, in fact, been pre-
served, with thti exception of some few assemblages of
people. These endeavours of the Porte to- preserve tran-
quillity clearly prove that it is sensible of the danger of the
moment, and of the consequence which' might ensue froma
rising of the populace against the Franks. The Ambas-
sadors of the Allied PoWers are Still here, and the Mistrial
Minister, BarorrOttenfels, continues to advise conciliatory
measures, notwithstanding the resistence of the Reis Effendi.
Meantime, every thing is prepared for the departure of the
three Ambassadors.

BUCHAREST, Nov. 7.—Accounts from Constantinople

ship bad arrived from the Archipelago, which brought to
tlr. Stratford Canning the first news of the burning of the

account of the strength of the Ottoman fleet, as it was
before the battle of Navaria.

It neatly agrees with that given by the Austrian Obser-
ver, a month ago, but makes the total number 89, and not
92. We see, frotwthis statement, that the Egyptian fleet
had 1600 guns. Twenty-eight of their ships bad crews
organized on the European system. Vice-Admiral Letel-
liers, a Frenchman, was on board the ship of A/ohareni
Rey, the Egyptian Admiral, son-in-law to the Paella of
Egypt. On board the other Egyptian ships there were
eight French staff officers, to superintend the manoeuvres:'

[lt should seem, from Admiral de Rigny's account, these
left the fleet before the blew was struck.l
It is generally asserted' among the European diplomatic
body at Pero, that Baron Ottenfels had received a despatch
from Prince Metternich so far back as the 22d of September,
in which the refusal of that Ambassador to join in the late
step taken by the three AMbassadors at the Porte is disap-
proved.- The Internuncio, it is said, on receiving this des-
patch, visited his thiee Colleagues, and declared to them that
he had misunderstood his former instructions, and that 1w
was now ready to second their efforts in future, to the
'utmost of his power. - At the same time, he (as we have
before heard) sent his ,Dragontan, M. Von linszar, on the
9th October, with a note contaising the most urgent exhor-
,tations and warnings to.the Porte no longer to remain deaf
to the voice of friendship and reason.
AMSTERDAM, 27.—Exchange on Lon:ion, 1 1. 95.
to 11. 92i. ; Two Months, 11. €i'l:. to 11. 90:

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Tuesday, and the Gwreite de France dated.
Wednesday morning. They are entirely filled with
observations upon the state of the Elections—a
Subject which absorbs- every other consideration,
and- places political news in the back ground.
The. Gazette-de France affects to treat with diS-
dein the enumeration, of the opposite parties
made by the other journals, and goes so far as
to assert that the returns stand thus-178
Royalists to 122 Liberals, after abating.from the
latter 27 double returns. The, Journal des
Debuts, however, states distinctly, that on Mon-
day evening the known result of the Election up
to that time was 192 Opposition Members, and.
only 103 Ministerial. We have only, however,
to wait a few hours longer, and all doubt on the
subject will be at an end. Sufficient.is already
known to convince us that the Chamber of
Deputies must be Liberal, and whether M.
VSLLELE has a few more co a:few less partizans
signifies not. The national feeling has been
shewn, and it must be attended to in the
Chamber.

The Gazette de • France has a paragraph
dated Vienna 17th inst., which states, that ac-
cording to accounts from Constantinople of the
3d November, it is presumed at Vienna that the
Divan will not
.use any reprisals in consequence
of the catastrophe' at Navarin, and that in the
end every thing will be arranged according to the
Convention of the 6th of July. The French
Funds on the Tuesday were nearly stationary,

' NEWS FROM" THE ARMY IN GEORGIA.
General paakewitich:sendsthe following particulars re-
specting tlie.taking-of Erivan :
After the reduction of the fortress of Sardar AUad, Ge-
neral Pasketvitsch, with the principal corps of the army
under Isis command, marched towards Erivan.

Having arrived on the 6th October before the walls of
thst,city,•he canned the trenches to be opened on the, night-
'of the '76. During a siege of six days, the works were
carried on with great activity and skill, and a 'battery
erecteJ, which on the 12th had done great daniage in the
'place.
The enemy already terrified by the news of the unex-
pected reduction of Sardar Ahad, were thrown into con-
sternation by the effect of our bombs and cannon, as well
as by the constant and intrepid attacks of our troolis. On
the-19th October, when the united battalions of the Impe-
rial Guard bad mounted the breach, the inhabitants hn-
plored the.elemency of the conquerors, and the garrison,
which till then had ,defended itself vigorously; and only a
few moments before was still fighting desperately, laid.
down their arms and surrendered prisoners of war.
Thus this fortress, which till this time had resisted the
efforts of all those who had attempted its conquest, and
which was considered in Asia as impregnable,- and 'as the
strono-est.bulwark of Persia against Russia, has been taken
by the valour of our victorious troops with almost incre-
dible rapidity.
This important conquest, for which we are particularly
indebted to favourable circumstances, and to the distin-
guished talents of our Commander-in-Chief, has hardly
cost us auy loss.
Among the prisoners are the Governor of the fortress. of
i Erivan, the celebrati4 HaiSan- Khan, brother of the Sar-
dar of Erivan, • some of the most distinguished 'khans.
three battalions of the flower of the SartZasim troops in
the army of Abbas Alirza, in all three thoasand men. We
found in the fortress thirty-five cannon, two howitsere,
eight mortars, four standards, 1,500 poods• of powder, a
great quantity of ammunition, a considerable part of the
treasures of the Sardar, and 10,000 chetwerts of corn.
The army which has increased the glory of the Rus-
sian arms by the taking of Erivan, has at the same 'time
set an example of the spirit, order, and subordination which
characterises it, notwithstanding the incredible hardships
and'multiplied privations endured by our troops-during this
campaign, and though the inhabitantS and garrison had.
surrendered at, discretion, not the slightest- disorder was
committed, and the tranquillity of the city was not dis-
turbed for a moment. This laudable conduct gives them
just claims to the favour of theit: august Sovereign.

News having 'been received that a Greek pirate has
taken a Swedish ship in the Archipelago, his Majesty has
intimated to the Board of Trade that orders have been
given to our Ambassadota abroad, to use their utmost ex-
ertions to recover this ship. Besides this, our Ambassa-
lore to the Governments which have now considerable
squadrons in the Mediterranean, have been instructed to
request them to let their Admirals afford our merchantmen
in these seas, all posible protection against the piracies of
the Greeks, and to second the demands for the restitution
of any ships that may he taken by the pirates.
For some days past, there has been various reports of
great changes in our Ministry. . .

AYRES, RECEIVED BY THE DOVE.

FROM inntezcq, JULY 27.

Several English gentlemen at Buenos Ayres are engag-
ed in the very laudable undertaking of establishing a
Philanthropic Fundi. for assisting those of their country-
men who may need it from sickness, accidents, or other
causes. The necessity of :such an undertaking is self-
evident, when it is considered ! there are above 4,000'
Englishmen in the city of Buenos Ayres and its vicinity, a
great pot tion of whom are mechanics and labouring men,
without an hospital or charitable institution to apply to.
. Several decrees and documents have been published ;
amongst them is the prohibition to export gold and silver
under heavy penalties. The, following clause appears re-
lative to passengers, who shall be only allowed, to take, with
them to the amount of 50 dollars; and seamen, whether
belonging to vessels of war or merchantmen, four dollars.
An order, directed to the Collector-General, is addressed
by the Minister of Finance, to carry these regulations into
force.

The Buenos Ayres American of the 3d of
Aug. contains the particulars of the two" projects
of laws submitted to Congress by Government.
The following is the outline :--The President of
the Republic is empowered to negociate a loan
within the territory of the State for five millions
of dollars. For the security of this credit, the
public laud and city edifices throughout the
State, are mortgaged, without prejudice to the
law of the 15th of February, 1426. For the pay-
ment of.the said, sum .the general revenue, rents
of leased land throughout the Republic, and the.
product of the war impost, which the following
larticles designate, are amenable ; all produce and
manufactures, whether national or foreign, that
may, be exported for the provinces:of the interior,
and Campayna, of Buenos Ayres, shall
,pay, on
leaving. the city, 4 per cent. ;' all produce and
manufactureS which may be imported 'into the,
provinces of the State, and are mot expressed in
the following articles, shall pay 6 per cent.;
Yorba mate, tobacco, cigars, wine, and vinegar,
pay. 10 per cent.; spirituous liquors and cot-,
dials, 20 per cent. ; the impost to be calculated
on the wholesale prices' amount. It, is under-
stood to be without prejudice to the other duties
established ; to take effect from the day of publica-
tion. This regulation to last only during the war
with Buenos 'Ayres.' The Collector shall deliver
,into the National Bank the product of. the leased
lands, and distresses are decreed ,to be levied
when they become due ; there is also some re-
gulation under which the exportation of :jirked
beef shall be allowed except to Brazil. The ex-
porter is allowed by these regulations to deposit I
in the Bank, bills at nine months' date, with
three signatures, to the' satisfaction of the Presi-
dent, and cash to an amount corresponding to
five dollars per 'quintal, that he intends to export ;
these bills to be kept in deposit, and returned to
the parties when they pioduce certificates from

A PR ESE 241'.7.—A
.gentleman who resides not
a hundred miles from Northwich, received, a few days ago,
a parcel, wrapped .in matting, and delivered front one.of the
Chester and Manchester coaches. In the absence of the
gentleman himself, it • was received by his wife, who,
on removing the matting, beheld to her no small astonish-
moat a plain but neat child's coffin. As -soon .as. she had
in some degree recovered herself, her conjectures as to the
meaning of , this strange present were numerous, and the
only plausible one she could settle to was, that the coffin
ntaiued the remains of some pledge of her husband's
.love prior to his acquaintance with her : accordingly, the
,trange burden was concealed for the present, and upon the
arrival of Mr. a thousand questions were put. to
him, touching his "love from home ;" words at length
began .to, run high between
,the parties, in the., midst of
which the coffin WOB produced, opened, and found to cop-
Lain a handsome present from Wrexham, of. a fine. sucking
