LITERATURE.

NAVAL AND MILITARY MAGAZINE.
LONDON, 1827•

We are much pleased with the conception and
execution of this work, which appeals not only
to two very influential professions, viz. the army
and navy, but is fraught with entertainment to
the community in general. A few of the original
articles are hit off with considerable spirit, and
even the selections (no insignificant features of a
periodical) are inade with taste and discretion.
If we were asked to specify any particular article
as entitled above another to approbation, we
would feel inclined to mention the Narrative
of the Campaign of 1799," which is distinguished
by a fearless and inquisitive spirit.
The • " Naval and Military Magazine," sup-
plies a grand desideratum in literature, as a peri-
odical record of the achievements,. and peculiar
characteriStics, of our army and navy. We hope
it will be popular, in proportion to its merits,
which are great.

OFFICE OF LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.
The Sicilians, followed by the Genoese, bor-
rowed the name of Admiral from the Saracens,
about the ye,ar 1149. 'Edward I. is supposed to
have brought it here from the Holy Land. The
Admiral's ship was also called Admirantia. Thus
Milton, noticing the spear of Satan, compares
it to the mast of " some tall Admiral.".
The office was the Prefectus Classis of the
Romans ; Craig and Du Change say it was an
office, common to all nations, to clear the sea
from pirates, on which account a right of wreck,
&c. was annexed. Spelman and others note,
that, like the naval Duumvirs of the Romans,
there were in general only two Admirals—of the
north and west stations—the second being Vice
or Deputy to the Lord Admiral, called also the
Admiral Lieutenant, or Commissary ; which
office, he says, seems to have had its being sud-
denly after the erection of the High Admiral ;
for the first Statutes that mention the one men-
tion the other, viz. the Act of the 13th and 15th
Rich. 11., cap. 5 and 3. He was appointed by
the Lord High Admiral, in whose patent it is
expressed that he may order and appoint the
Vice Admiral and all other officers, during their
lives, and every of them. The term of Admiral
of the Fleet was applicable to no one who did
not command ten ships.
The first person styled Admiral of England
was Richard Fitzallan, Earl of Arundel, and
created 10th Rich. 11. " And I think," says
Spelman, "it is not without difference that in
some patents the Admiral is named Admiralis
talis plagn, and, in another Flotte navium. But
in 22 Rich. 11. Richard Fitzallan the younger
is made Adriiiiallus, atugYtf that
Ii ciaxin 6iO3,sitsb the. first rearribd that
though it appeareth that Henry In. in his
eighth year, granted to Richard de Lacy, Ma-
ritium Anglia', yet I dare not expound it to be
the Admiralty of England, but some branch of
the King's right, now belonging to the same."
—The same author says, « Query whether the
Lord A diniral of England be sworn or not ; for
the French is ?"

Walsingham mentions there being
i three Ad-
mirals of the three parts of England n the 12th
of Edward 11. their names, Sir John 011eron,
Sir N. Kyriel, and Sir John de Felton.

In the beginning of Edward the Third's reign,
John Howard was appointed Admiral of the
north parts.
24th of the same King (Bth July), John
Beauchamp of Warwick was made Admiral of
both the north and west parts.
In 1 Rich. 11. Robert Hales, prior of Saint
John of Jerusalem, was made Admiral Flotm na-
viuin ab ora Tamesire versus partes occidentales.
5 Rich. 11. John Roches, or de Rupibus, is
made Admiral of the Fleet, from the Straits, by
the town of Southampton, towards the west
parts, in the place of Walter de Henly.
Edward 111. after the 27th of his reign, is
supposed to have first consigned to his Admirals
the management of marine affairs (and from which
originated our present Admiralty), which were
not, as now, one for all England, but divers, says
Spelman, according to several limits and several
necessities.

The little account we have of the English
navy before the time of Henry VIII., leaves us
in ignorance of the names of the succeeding Ad-
mirals of England until that period. Few of
our Monarchs, in old time, had many ships of
their own, exclusively of the occasional ones fur-
nished by the Cinque Ports, &c.
Henry V. at his first invasion of France, ap-
pears to have had two large and beautiful ships
of his own, with purple sails : the one called the
King's Chamber, the other his Hall.
Edward IV., besides several ships of his own,
borrowed many of the merchants, particularly of
the famous Canning, buried in St. Mary Red-
cliff church, Bristol. Still there cannot be said
to have been anything then worth the name of
an English navy. Impressing of seamen was
used, as we find, in his time, perhaps earlier.
In 12 Henry VIII., we find an indenture be-
tween that King and Edward Howard, appoint-
ing the latter to be his High Admiral, and which
is curious, as containing a number of particulars
relative to the then nature of the office.
It witnesses—That the said Edward was re-
the Sovereign Lord the King to be his
tained by
Admiral Chic"; and general Captain of the
Army, which his Highness had proposed and
ordained, " and now set to the sea, for the safe-
guard and sure passage of his subjects, friends,
allies, and confederates." The said Admiral
was to have under him, in the said service, 3,000
men, harnessed and arrayed for the warfare
(himself accounted in the same number), over
and above 700 soldiers, mariners, and gunners ;
that should be in the King's ship, The Regent;
and whereof 1,750 should be soldiers, and 1,233
should be mariners and gunners. The said
Admiral was to have " for maintaining himself,
and his diets and rewards, daily during the said
voyage, 10s. The King, in consideration of the
equipment of the force sent, was to have one half
of all manner of gains and winnings of the warre,"
Dudley Lord Lisle, afterwards Duke of
Northumberland, and father-in-law of Lady Jane
Grey, appears next in the list of High. Admirals.
He was beheaded in the first year of Queen Mary.
Thomas Seymour, brother of the Protector
Somerset, was Lord High Admiral after his
death, and is well known in history for his at-
tempts on the Princess, afterwards Queen Eliza-

beth, whom he aspired to marry, notwithstand-
ing that he had a wife living, in the person of
Queen Catherine Parr, widow of Henry the
Eighth. His factious conduct brought him to
the block, like his predecessor.
The office of Lord High Admiral appears to
have attained its full lustre in the person of his
successor,

Charles Howard, Earl of Nottingham, who
for his abilities in naval affairs was, in 1586, ad-
vanced to the post of Lord High Admiral to
Queen Elizabeth. In this memorable year, he
and the gallant officers under him did much in
sinking and destroying the Spanish Armada ;
but the winds did more. Upon this grand event,
the Queen ordered a medal to be struck with
this inscription—" Afilavit DEus et dissipan-
tar." (GOD bath blown, and they are scat-
tered.) In 1596 the Lord High Admiral had
again a share in the taking of Cadiz, and burn-
inc, the Spanish fleet. He enjoyed Eris high office
about 32 years.
We shall notice amongst the succeeding High
Admirals only a few of the more celebratednames.
George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, was
Lord Hi&li Admiral under James the First, and
had for his Deputy or Vice-Admiral for the
English Court, Henry Vere, Earl of Oxford.
In a pompous list of the Duke's titles under one
of his portraits, he is styled " Lord High Ad-
miral of England, Ireland, and the Principality
of Wales, Governor of all the Castles and Sea-
forts, and of the Royal Navy." He held the
office till his death.

1637. Algernon Percy, Earl of Northumber-
land, was, for his knowledge and prudence in
naval affairs, advanced this year to the dignity
of Lord High Admiral, he having before, with
a fleet of sixty sail, taken and sunk all the
Dutch fishing busses employed upon the Bri-
tish coasts.

1642. Robert Rich, Earl of Warwick, held
the same office. He had some knowledge in
naval affairs, and the openness of his disposition
recommended him to the service ; but he was not
completely qualified for Lord High Admiral.
1657. Admiral Blake is styled " General and
Admiral of all the forces in England."

Thy name
Was heard in thunder through th' affrighted shores
Of pale Iberia, of submissive Gaul, .
And Tagus, trembling to his utmost source.
0 ever faithful, vigilant and brave,
Thou bold asserter of Britannia's fame,
Unconquerable Blake !—GLoviR.
This great man was above fifty years of age
when he took the command of the fleet. Not-
withstanding he had before been a soldier, yet,
following the light of his own genius, he was
presently seen to have all the courage, the con-
duct, and the precipitancy of a good sea officer.
Ha not only improved the methporl of attack, but
earried;the naieal power of Cromwell to• a greater
height than had been known in any age or nation.
1675. We find the King's brother, James
Duke of York, styled " Suyreinits dominus Ad-
miraliits." Whilst Lord. High Admiral, he
gained the highest reputation by his courage on
board the fleet in tile first Dutch war. He in-
vented the use of the signals used at sea. Prince
Rupert held the office of Vice-Admiral of all
England under him.
The .modern list of Admirals is well known.
Collins (in his Peerage) mentions the whistle
hung by:a gold chain,- with which the Admiral
cheered his men in action, as now descended to
the boatswain.

Naval uniforms originated, according to Pen-
nant, with Admiral Mostyn, who died in 1757.

PARAPHRASE ON THE 12m CHAPTER OF
ECCLESIASTES.

WRITTEN IN THE ISLAND OF ASCENSION.

Whilst Youth's warm current flows within thy veins.
And strength and vigour thro' thy system reigns ;
Let thy Creator in thy memory live,
To his great name, thy earliest offerings give.
Whilst evil days come not, nor years draw nigh,
When thou in pain and languishing shall lie ;
And then worn down, in bitterness and grief,
Seek at the hand of death a last relief.
While yet the Sun shall give his warmth and light,
Whilst moon and sparkling stars reign o'er the night,
Whilst darkness come not, nor the rain charged cloud,
Wrap the creation in its sable shroud.
AThned day when those who keep the house shall quake,
strong men shall bow themselves and shake,
the
window, mourn their darken'd sight.
The grinders curse, and those who hailed the light
At
The the high
sound of grinding sink to earth,
behold shut up the door of mirth;
sweet voice shall start thee from thy seat,
TT
hh The streets
bird's eh shall
i
And music's daughters hush'd, mourn at thy feet.
When fear shall startle thee at every tread,
And terror from on high light on thy head ;
The chirping grasshopper, a burden be,
And
blossoms flourish on the almond tree.
The fount of Love shall fail, for man prepares,
To leave this scene of joys, hopes, pains and cares,
For his long home, the mourners in the street
Proclaim the solemn truth to all they meet.
Or e'er he loos'd the cord of silver fair,
Or the bright golden bowl be broken there ;
Or pitcher broken at the fountain lie,
(jr the crush'd wheel no more the cistern ply :
Then shall the dust, ordain'd to fill the urn,
To earth in its primeval state return ;
The spirit shall return to God on high,
who gave it first, and fix'd its destiny.
Oh ! vanity of vanities—the Preacher saith ;
in vanity we live and draw our breath ;
Vain the world's glitt'ring wealth and pompous show,
,for vanity is stamp'd on all below.
Because more o'er divinely wire was he,
Who taught the people wisdom's mystery ;
With cautious heed, in deep research he met,
,And in fair order many proverbs set.
The Preacher sought to make his records shine,
In words acceptable and truths divine ;
And what he wrote, by uprightness inspir'd,
Displays the truth with which his soul was fled.
The foolish feel as goads the wise man's words,
Or nails well fasten'd by th' Assembly's herds,
Given from our shepherd, who bath sent them forth,
To teach his Doctrines, and proclaim their worth.
And further, 0 my son, by these be taught,
That making many books, I count as nought ;
To study much is weariness and Oil,
And the flesh droops beside the midnight oil.
Now, humbly bow, the great conclusion hear,
Regard thy God with love and holy fear ;
Keep his Commandments, nor presume to scan,
His high designs ; s, this is the whole of man."
For God shall bring to judgment every work,
Whilst secret things no more in darkness lurk;
The evil ones to Hell shall sink thee down,
The good exalt thee to a heavenly crown.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday the Captain of an
East Indiaman was charged with having punished a Lascar
boy, named James, with a thick cord, having first tied
and gagged him.
Mr. Thwaites, of Tokenhouse-yard, tea-dealer, said, that
in consequence of having heard that the boy had been most
harshly treated by the Captain, he went to a house in th,
Lower-road, Islington, to which he heard the Captain had
removed him, and examined his person ; witness found
that the boy's face was much swelled on one side, that he
had suffered much about the top of the thigh and the
wrists ; the wrists had the appearance of having been tied
together, and the boy declared that the Captain had, for
nothing, laid him on -the bed to beat him, and to prevent
his crying out had stopped his mouth ; and that the Cap-
tain then flogged him with a rope with great severity.
The boy corroborated Mr. Thwaites's statement, and
said that when he was at sea the Captain beat him with a
rattan.

The Captain, in his defence, said, that he merely chas •
tised the boy. It was the boy's duty to lie outside hi.
door, as he was in the habit of doing on board; and there
was a string of communication from him to the boy, whicl:
he pulled when he wanted anything. Theboy had impro-
perly laid the string aside, and being azgry at his inatten
tion, he punished him ; he was now sorry for it.
AS the boy is a Musaulman, and there was no Koran at
the Mansion-House to swear him, the case was postponed.
GUILDHALL.—John Latham, who bad been charged
on a former day with being intoxicated, and while so, be-
having improperly, for which he was fined 55., was brought
up again yesterday, in consequence of the non-payment 01
the fine, from inability.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN, after some consideration
discharged him with an admonition, that if he was found
in such a state of intoxication again, he would be sent n.
the tread-mill, for two or three months.
John Cowley, Borien Barrell, and Benjamin Phil-
lips, three boys, none of whom were apparently more that,
twelve years of age, were brought up, charged with steal.
ing knives from the shop of a gentleman of the name of
Werrender, ,residing in St. Paul's Church-yard. It ap-
peared that the boys, though young, 'were great adepts iI
the art of pilfering, and were the instruments of older am.
more experienced offenders. They bad been remanded oi,
a former day, for the purpose of their parents comini.
forward. The parents of all three attended, and wen
all unanimous in their wish that the boys might be sent
to some place where they could not offend in future,
as they were of the most depraved habits, and the societ3
which they had picked up here would, if not put a stop
to, ultimately lead them to the gallows.
Mr. Werrender seemed to feel some delicacy as to pro-
secuting, but the Alderman wished to know what he wa,.
to do in a case like this. Perhaps it would be better ti
let the case stand till a future day, for the purpose of
seeing if the instigator could be found, one of the boys
stating he knew where he lived - and that during the time
,he went into the shop for the purpose of stealing tin
knives, he had stood outside the door. That whet
they got any thing, it was usual for them to give it
him, and perhaps they had 2d. or 3d. in return. The bo)
,was then directed to accompany the officer, and to point
out to him the residence, which the Alderman ordered to bt
searched and the case to stand over till Saturday.
William Palmer, the driver of the hackney-coach, No.

1035, was brought up by summons, to -answer the com-
plaint of a gentleman living in Austin-Friars. It appeared
that on Sunday night about half-past eleven, the. gentleman
called' the coach from the stand in Bridge-street, and di-
: reeted the coachman to drive him a shilling fare, on the
road to Austin Friars. The coachman stopped in Cheap-
side, opposite Laurence-lane, when the gentleman asked
him why he did not go on? when he was told by the
coachman, he would be d—d if he would drive him any
further, and used other abusive language.
The coachman, in his defence, said he was quite willing
to drive him any where, but when he stopped to ask th,
gentleman which way he would wish hint to drive, he
d—d his eyes, and told him to shut the door. He told
him he had not been used to such language, and admitted
that he had behaved improperly towards him.
The gentleman denied having used any improper lan-
guage to the man in the strongest terms.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said he was empowered UN
the Act of Parliament to fine the man 101., but that be
should deal with him perhaps more lenient than he de-
served, and should only fine him 10s., which he must pay,
or go to prison till paid.
The Coachman was not prepared to pay it then, and
therefore went to prison till it was paid.

BOW-STREET.—A young man, named Flanagan,
who was charged with having assaulted a lady named
M'Pherson, in Buckeridge.street, St. Giles's, on last
Thursday week, and stealing from her person her reticule,
containing notes and sovereigns, value 501., was yesterday
again placed at the bar. The lady stated that a gang of
thieves were concerned in the robbery, and the prisoner
Flanagan, she believed, was the person who rushed vio-
lently against her at the time the others robbed her. This
charge was rendered very doubtful, by the circumstance o;
a young man named Riley being placed at the bar, charged
with being concerned in the robbery, whose feature,
strongly resembled Flnnagan's, except that his complexief
was much fairer. The prosecutrix deposed, that, whet
she was robbed, she said " Stop thief!" and the prisoner
Flanagan ran round the corner of Buckeridge-street, and
escaped. Several witnesses were examined, who proved
that Flanagan was a hard-working young man, and that
he was at work at the time the robbery was committed
and in further confirmation of his innocence of the charge,
two witnesses deposed, that they saw the prisoner Riley
running away down Buckeridge-street, at the time the
prosecutrix called stop thief.

Mr. MINSHULL, the Sitting Magistrate, said that than
was a strong resemblance between the two prisoners (botl:
their mouths being drawn aside), and he believed that Fla-
nagan was innocent of the crime imputed to him. Rile}
was remanded, and Flanagan was discharged.

An old man, named Taylor, was brought up on a peace
warrant which had been granted to two of his sons, whos(
lives he had threatened. One of the sons was a resident a!
Bath, and the other in London ; the former was a very big
man, at least 17 stone, and the latter a mere dwarf. Dlr.
Taylor from Bath said he was a coal-merchant, and the
reason of the disparity in the size of him and his brothel
was, that he was born and reared in Somersetshire, and hi,
little brother was a Cockney. He said that his father has
deserted his mother ..14. many years, and was living with 1:
prostitute • and he had come to London, where his father
lived, to compel him to allow his mother a maintenance.—
His brother had also applied to his father to make his mo-
ther a reasonable allowance for her support, and his fhthei
threatened to murder him.

The father, in reply to the accusations of his sons, said,
that he had left his wife 16 years, and during that period
had lived with the woman with whom he was now coha-
biting. His wife was such a brimstone that he would
rather endure the torments of the accursed than live witl,
her ; but he had ever since their separation allowed hel
half his pension. He added, that his sons broke into hi,
house and abused him, and he ordered them to quit hi,
premises.--The Magistrate disiniased the case.

MARYLEBONE.—Miss Isabella Charlton, a respect-
able young 14dy residing in Prince's-street, Oxford-street,
appeared to answer a charge of assault preferred againsi
her by a young man named William Hurst. The assauh
consisted in the young lady's throwing the contents of 2.
bottle of marking ink into the complainant's eyes, and du
occasion of it was stated by him to Mr. Griffith as follows—
He was a porter, and in the employ of a Mrs. Barker.
who lived next door to Miss Charlton. On Monday, fin
25th of June last, the day the affray took place, he wen!
up stairs " to do a little job to the window for missus,'
and having to use a piece of wood or stick, he might
knock a little dust down on the sky-light of the house next
door, but nothing, he was sure, that could break a pane o.
glass. Be that as it might, he had scarcely begun hi,
operations, when he was told that Miss Charlton had sew
Mrs. Davis, her maid, to say he had broken a window.
He said he knew he had not, " but, howsoever, he'd go i"
to the lady, and give her a civil answer." He did so.—
The lady repeated her charge, and he his denial,
till thi
war of words became high between them, and (cording
to Miss Charlton's account, be gave her the lie. (But thi,
he would not admit.) The lady who had been marking
some linen, enraged at this uncoorteous exlmez:2;on, caller
him a rogue and a villain, and bidding him quit the house
seized the bottle which contained the marking ink, anti
threw the contents in his face, The liquid was of tha
pernicious nature, that he was • obliged to use a wash co,

Miss CharlionMsfkii4llAkiioe4q, a female friend, as
well as two or *pologiled for her violence,
by repeating ite offensive term made use of to her by the
complainant. As for the ink, she said, there could not be
more than two or three drops in the bottle, for she had had
it in use three years.

Mr. GRlFFlTH—Admitting the provocation you state, i
it was a very improper act m a young woman. It cannot
be denied that the stuff, whatever it was, was thrown in
the eyes of this young man. I saw the effect of it when
he applied to me for the summons, when it was more evi.
dent than now. It's a very rash thing, and you must make
him ame.l,lo or find bail.

On the parties being about to quit the office, one of the
gentlemen returned, and said it was a very hard case on
Miss Charlton. " There is not a more respectable cha-
racter in England," said he, addressing the Magistrate,
" I've known her from a child."

Mr. GRIFFITH-Character has nothing to do with this
question. _

Gentleman—l beg your pardon, Sir, it has every thing
to do with it, and I wish to have a warrant against this
fellow for breaking the window.
Mr. GRIFFITH—It has not been proved that he broke
it, and I shall grant no warrant.
The gentleman attempted to force some further conver-
sation, but the Magistrate would not hear it, and be re-
joined his party, the whole of whom went out evidently
much dissatisfied.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—The fellotving very
laughable, although, perhaps, also distressing scene, took
place at this office yesterday, before Sir G. FARRANT :
Rather a decent-looking, young man entered and ap-
proached the bench, leading by the hand a,young female,
possessing by no means a had set of features, but presenting
a most wretched and miserable state of destitution, as re,
garded wearing apparel, and thus addressed the Magistrate :
" Please your Worship, I have brought this young woman
to town.'-'

Sir G. FARRANT—Have yon, indeed ? Young Mau—
-1 have, your Worship ; and I don't know what to do with
her now.

Sir GRonor—;Pray where might you bring her from
Young Man From, 'Weston,7; Warvticksbire, your
Worship. -. •
Sir GEORGE-,-And what did -you , bring her to town for
Young Man—YotiF Warship, I brought her from Daventry,
in Northamptonshire, :where I met her on the road on her
travels up to London, like myself; end'ehe told me she had
come from Weston, in Warwickshire.

Sir Gxoada—And was she in the miserable condition
she is in now when you mether ? Young Man—She was,
your Worship, and'a great deal worse, for she was almost
starved, and had'not a halfpenny or farthing in the world ;
s 6 I took pity on her loneliness, and we came the rest of
the way together, and I paid for our lodgings and our food
until now. She told me, your Worship, that she had a.
rich uncle in London, and that she was coming up to him,
Sir GEOAGS—WeII, and why don't you take her to her
rich uncle? Young Man—So I did, your Worship; but
he won't own her as a relation; he says he never saw or
heard of her before.

Sir GEORGE—WeII, I dare say he is nut much obliged
to you for the present you have brought him to town.
Young Man—He won't take her, your Worship, he say„
as a present, or any how : so I don't know what to da
with her.

Sir GEORGE—And what do you want me to do with
her ?

Young Man—l only want your Worship to tale L'e
some way off my hands.
Sir GEORGE--I am much obliged to you indeed ; but as
you have taken her on your own hands, and brought her
up here, yeu must do the best you can with her, and send
her back home.again.

The girl, who had not during the whole dia;ogue
spoken a word, here cast a glance of surprise and a little
indignation at her companion.
Sir GEORGE—You cannot well leave her now, in the
state she is, without doing something for her, after bringing
her here.

—Young Man.—But, your worship, I am done with her;
she is nothing to me. • •

Sir GEORGE.—WeII, I really cannot help you. You
had better go to the parish officers again with her, and
you may tell them you were here, but I have no power to
compel them to assist you.

The young man was now gradually but cautiously
making his way towards the office-door, behind his fair
companion's back, evidently with an intention to bolt, and
leave her as a legacy to the magistrate : when one of the
officers perceiving his object, called the young woman's at-
tention to him, when she walked up, and very coolly
taking his arm, accompanied him out of the office, with a
seeming determination not to let him slip from her easily,
HATTON-GARDEN.— Thomas Finchley, the asso-
ciate of George Warner, condemned to suffer this day for
colouring base coin, was brought up in custody by a con-
stable named Bouchier, for passing bad money on a poor
man named Manning, a green-grocer, residing at 44, Ray-.
street, Clerkenwell.

Manning stated the prisoner to have come into his shop
about one o'clock that day; to purchase some tobacco and a
loaf, which came to 6d. in payment for which he gave
witness a half-crown, and received in return 2s. change.
Witness shortly afterwards perceived the half-crown to be
a bad one. The prisoner came back in about ten minutes,
and offered another half-crown to witneties wife, in pay-
ment for some tobacco. Witness was in the parlour when
prisoner came the second time; but on seeing him in the
shop, he came hastily out. The prisoner, suspecting that
his purpose was discovered, snatched up the half-crown,
and ran off. Witness pursued him, took him into custody,
and found the half-crown in his hand, which was also a.
bad one.

Mr. L&INc ordered the prisoner to be remanded until
Saturday, and, in the mean time, notice to be given tti
Me•°sre. Powell, Solicitors to the Mint, and to J. Field,
Esq. Inspector to the Mint, to procure their attendance.

LAMBETH-STREET.—A young man, named Frede .
rick Reynolds, was charged with horse-stealing. On the
night of the 10th June, a horse, belonging to Mr. Wigg„
of Waltham Cross, was stolen from Cheshunt Marsh.—
Two days afterwards it was sold by the prisoner to a Mr.
Kew, at Rayleigh Fair, for 71. The prisoner made no des
fence, and he was committed for trial.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Wednesday, July 4.)
,c PARIS, JULY 3.—The brigs l'Eglire and Deiten,
fitted out at Nantes, have been seized on the coast
of Africa by the French squadron in those seas, for
violation of the laws respecting the slave trade.
These two vessels have been sent into Senegal,
where the affair will be investigated before the tri-
bunal.

" Accounts received from Toulon state, that all
proper measures are taken to meet with the Algerine
corvette on its return from Alexandria, and that
the necessary precautions for the security of French
subjects in proper time has been ordered and exe-
cuted with equal success and promptness.
" Our readers know that M. Ginstiniani, nuncio
to the Pope in Spain, has been recalled at the de-
sire of his Catholic Majesty. \%e learn that his
Holiness has just appointed this prelate his legate
in the late Spanish colonies in South America, with
full power for the installation of his Bishops in that
country, in convent with the local authorities.

" M. de Cordova, late Secretary of Legation at
Paris, has just been appointed Minister of Spain to
Copenhagen.

" It seems that it is M. Villalba, Chief Clerk in
the office, who is appointed Secretary to the Duke
of San Carlos.

" Monseigneur Adalbert and Skarzeuski, Arch-
bishop of Warsaw, and Primate of the kingdom of
Poland, died on the 12th of June, aged 84.
" Yesterday a violent storm, with thunder and
hail, burst over the capital. The Garden of the
Tuileries was covered with branches torn from the
largest trees. The lightning struck the house at
the corner of the. Rue Richelieu and the Boulevard
Italien ; it dashed the chimney to pieces, and after-
wards disappeared in the Boulevard. Happily every
body had sought shelter from the torrents of rain
and hail, and nobody was injured. It is feared that
the surrounding country has suffered severely.
" The storm came up again during the night.
The fact which is, perhaps, the most worthy of the
attention of meteorologists this year is the co-
existence of the drought which threatens the harvest
of the North of Europe, with inundations which ra-
vage the middle and the South of the Continent. In
the provinces on the coast of the Baltic, it is feared
that the extreme heat and the want of rain, will
wither up the corn before it comes to maturity, and
the same countries may, perhaps, be ravaged in the
sequel, by the overflowing of the rivers, which have
swelled at their source. The Elbe, in particular, is
at such a height as to cause great apprehensions.
" We have a letter from Havre of the 2d of July,
which says—
" The Great Britain, of New York, with 2,300
bales of cotton, destined for Havre, was ordered by
the consignees, as soon as it arrived in the roads, to
go to Liverpool.'
" A letter from Naples gives most afflicting ac-
counts of the ravages caused by the inundations in
Calabria, viz. at Reggio and it environs. Besides
other torrents, the Calopinari and the St. Agatha
overflowed their banks, and did immense damage,
not to speak of the injury done to the finest farms,
country houses, mills, &c.; and on the 6th of June
the Calopinari rose in the night, destroyed seven
houses, damaged ten, and obliged the inhabitants of
fifty others to leave them all; those in the square of
St. Philip were laid under water. The communes
of G:11/ico and Calona, the first of 885, the second of
1,770 i'.nhabitants, were almost wholly destroyed;
17 persons perished at Gallico, and one at Calona.
All the merci;•antmen and fishing-boats were dashed
to pieces. In he town of Scilla, the left side of
the cathedral is rifined, the streets choked up with
sand and stones, and 36 houies destroyed ; twelve
persons, who were out fishing, perished. A great
deal of other damage has ti,Pen done.
" A. whale, the largest species, was cast on s:;.9re
near Otranto, on the sth of 1V,73v. its Immense
size may be imagined from the fact :bat the united
efforts of six oxen and 40 men were Tequired to
draw a waggon loaded merely with the skulie

(From the Constitritimusd.)
" We have received from the Marseilles Laza-
retto the following letter, which contains some very
'satisfactory news respecting Lord Cochrane's expe-

"' I left the Hellas frigate on the 31st of May, off
Calama, and have returned to Marseilles on board
the Unicorn schooner, after a three weeks' passage.
Having been in Greece during the three months
which have elapsed since Lord Cochrane's arrival;
and having served as an officer on board his frigate,
I can kar witness to what has passed during that
time.
" Lord Cochrane arrived in the Unicorn on the
17th of March. Greece was then in the greatest
disorder. Anarchy svt:s at its height in the Govern-
ment, and in another mouth a civil war would have
commenced. The firmness of Lord Cochrane hap-
pily put an end to the confusion. The two parties
discontinued their reciprocal criminztions, and the
Deputies of the different provinces cordially as-
sembled on the 2d of April at Damala.
" The first object of Lord Cochrane was to N-
lieve the citadel of Athens, to raise the siege, and
deliver the brave Fabvier. Nothing calculated to
insure the success of the enterprise was neglected
by that brave commander, aided by General Church;
but the Greeks, though naturally very brave, are
deficient in the discipline necessary for securing mi-
litary triumphs. The result of this affair is known
to you.
" On the 19th of May, the brave Admiral sailed
from Spezzia, on board of the Hellas, which is one
of the largest and finest frigates ever built. He di-
rect ed his course to the western coast of the Morea,
and as rived on the 21st at Clarenza. We descried
two small Turkish frigates off that town, but we
ceuld not come up with them until half-past eight
in the eveith:a.s. The attack then commenced, but
the darkness opt the night prevented us from fully
availing ourselves of our advantages. The frigates
escaped amidst the obscurity. We afterwards
learned from an lonian vessel that one of them had
tuffered severely ; that the Captain and 30 men
were killed, and 70 wounded.
" • On the following day, a Turkish brig, loaded
with powder and provisions for the Ottoman army,
was taken by a stratagem. We hoisted Austrian
colours on board the frigate. The Turkish Captain
came on board, and we made him prisoner. Seve-
ral Turkish officers of distinction, who were on board
the brig, surrendered without resistance, as soon as
they learned that Lord Cochrane was in person on
board of the frigate. As soon as the Turkish sol-
diers found that they were prisoners, one of them
lighted a match, and was about to apply it to the
powder, and blow all up, but he was stopped in
sime to prevent the ex.ecution of his project. They
thought that being prisoners they would, as others
had formerly been, be massacred.
"' The Turks were treated with great humanity,
and two days after they were set at liberty, and
landed on the coast of the Morea, opposite Calama.
Lot d Cochrane gave their Captain two letters, one
addressed to Ibrahim Pacha, and the other to Kin-
tahi-Pae.ha, the two Turkish commanders. In these
letter.; Lck-cl Cochrane stated, that as long as be
should have ;:he command of the Greek fleet, he
would treat Turi;;;sh prisoners according h
to te laws
of war observed by i;:tropean nations, and thathe
hoped the Turkish commi:l.nders would act in the like
manner.
" I regret much that the steam-boats are not yet
arrived from England. Had they been along with
the frigate, the Turkish fleet, consisting of 4 ship
of the line, thirty frigates and corvettes, with
TAs many brigs and galleys, would before now have
been repeatedly attacked, and perhaps totally de-
stroyed. It is to be hoped that the Greek Com-
mittees in Europe will unite their efforts to fit out
the steam-boats, and forward them to Greece, for
without them it is impossible that a single frigate,
however great the talent and gallantry of Lord Coch-
rare, can triumph over the united efforts of so consi-

derable a fleet, to which must be added an Egyptian
fleet of the same force.'

(From the Quotidienne. )
Our correspondent in the Austrian capital writes
to us as follows :

" 6 I hasten to inform you, that the residence of
the Prince Don Miguel, in this capital, is approach-
ing its term. Every thing is changed with respect to
him, and Europe will soon learn the new destiny of
the noble Infant. "

THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.--It is with
much concern we have to announce that his
Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral has
altered his intention of visiting Ireland for the
present ; but it is confidently stated to be the
Royal Duke's intention to honour us the next
year. We cannot avoid expressing our regret
even at this postponement, as we have reason to
know that the reception of his Royal Highness
would be highly flattering to his feelings, and
such as the brother of our Illustrious Monarch,
and a branch of the House of Brunswick, should
command. The disappointment will be great, as
considerable preparations were already made on
his anticipated visit ; and to none more than the
Corporation of Cork, who voted a large sum on
Saturday last, to entertain his Royal Highness
with a splendour becoming the Heir Presump-
tive to' the Throne of Great Britain.—Cork
Constitution.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Thursday last
a young prl, scarcely twenty years of age, re-
siding at Mr. Michael Lalor's, of Freshford, in
this county, attempted to close her existence by
means of arsenic, which Mr. Lalor had, he
thought, carefully concealed, and intended as a
remedy for some diseases in the sheep. The
Poor girl was induced to this act by having given
her affection to a young man who not only
slighted her, but gave his hand to another.—
Kilkenny Independent.
