-.4cgraci of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at
" EarbadoeS, dated sth July, 1818.
By the arrival of a schooner from St. Tho-
wbiardlt:
Inas,
Znglation has been received of the Spa-
taken possession of the brig Eclipse.
"MINGTON, of this place, which vessel sailed
CaPtaih.f)4l this for St. Domingo a few weeks ago.—
WoRMINGTON had been taken to the
Qpd ?t St. Dumiugo, thrown into a dungeon,
fi Waded with heavy irons, the brig disman-
ed, and the whole of the crew put in confine-
;ern.
The plea for this outrageous insult to the
1.4411 flag is, that they found two guns mounted
i °ldecki and six (*eight dismounted in the hold,
ballast' and therefore concluded she was an
...Insurgent Privateer—a Spaniard having come
forward and swore that Captain W. had taken his
v
:lie! a few weeks before, and kept him a pri-
;ner 14 days.--- The Scamander frigate has been
4)atched by Admire! HARVEY to demand an ex-
1114Hation from the Spanish Governor."

Letter from Count BERTRAND to Sir IlubsoN
LovvE, on the removal of Dr. O'MEARA.

I.ovGwoon, Amt. 24, ISIS.

TO THE GOVERNOR.

Stn,—When on the lith April I was informed by Dr.
O'Meara that be should discontinue the exercise of his func-
tions as physician to the Eniperor Napoleon, I hastened to
send a message to Major Gorrequer, begging- him to favour
me with a call, having some communications to matte to him
of the very highest importance.

I told this Officer that I had intended to apprize him of
Our great regret at Balcomb.;'s house being deprived of sup-
plying.the provisions; that -the journey of the principal of
that house to London, could not. be a reason fur depriving
him of his business, since the service had always been per-
formed by his partners, Messrs. Fowler and Cole, and Mr.
Balcombe had never directly interfered therewith ; but that
the communication I had just received from Dr. O'Meara
was vastly more impor'ant, and that the Emperor could not
rest a single day without the aid of Dr. O'Meara.

The next day, the I3th, I had the titionr to write you to
the same effect. I had hoped to have an answer in the course
even of that day, hut this is the 24th, and I am still without
any reply. Thus, for 13 days, has the EMperor been deprived
of all medical assistance. In the month of October he was
fifteen days without seeing Dr. O'Meara, at the time you
assumed-the astonishing right of imposing upon him the obli-
gation to issue his bulletins only under your dictation, with-
out their being first submitted to the Emperor, or the ori-
ginal tieing left in his hands. Then, however, his disorder
was in its infancy, now it has made sortie Consider-able pro-
gress. Count Montholon, who lodges in the same part of the
building as the Emperor, informs me, that on the 18th, and
to-day, the 24th, he was awakened at two o'clock in the
morning by the Emperor's valet de chambre, and rema;oert
at that Prince's bedside from two o'clock it the morning till
five, witnessing the sufferings he zodured, and utterly un-
able to alleviate them. nlvir restrictions upon Longwood, of
the lath April, have thus already had the saddest effect.
I beg, therefore, to repeat my request, that you would re-
store Dr. O'Meara to the exercise of his functions, and dis-
continue to annoy him, and make him feel the effects of such
ill treatment, by removing the restrictions you, so contrary to
what have been in force for three years, have imposed upon
him by your letter of the 10th April, to which he neither will
nor can submit, without dishonouring himself.
In short, Sir, whatever reasons you may be able to allege,
reflect upon the consequences of continuing things in their
present state, and of depriving the Emperor of the Physician
of his choice, without having substituted another, conform-
able to my letter of the 13th April. If you still persist in
this line of condect, this arbitrary act will lie duly appre-
ciated by Europe, by your own Country, and even by your
Ministers.

I have the honour to be, &c.
COUNT BERTRAND.
To Lieut.-Gen. Sir Hudson Lowe.

HUSSEY'S CONFESSION.

Mr. Ru.DGR has published the following addi-
tional particulars respecting this malefactor's
confession, which, he says, was a true and faith-
ful account of what Hussey stated to him in his
cell. Mr. RUDGR then proceeds thns
Whether his statement is entitled to implicit credit, will
be a matter of opinion. For my own part, I have no hesita-
tion in declaring my full conviction of the sincerity of his
mind, and the truth of his confession. NVhen he had con-
cluded the detail, I thought it proper to desire him to rise
from the bed on which he had been sitting, and to get on his
knees, while he joined me in a prayer which I offered up to
the Almighty in his he half, and which I adapted to the de-
claration I had just heard. I afterwards questioned him
very particularly on the subject of the murder in all its
details, and, spoke my mind to him with tenderness, but with-
out any disguise, as to his guilty participation in it,
and OA he was to look upon himself, in the sight of a
just and holy God, as haying contracted the same degree of
guilt, and as deserving of the same measure of punishment as
his two companions, who had perpetrated the murder, and
who, probably, but for his instigation, would never have been
engaged in that deed of death and iniquity, for which he was
now justly to suffer. His answer was, lam guilty, and even
more guilty than the others; let them not, therefore, be brought
into trouble, hut let me be considered as alone deserving to he
thus punished for my guilty deeds.' To some remark which I
made, in allusion to his confession, he said, that, in opening his
mind to me, he had gut rid of a load, which was more heavy
and insuppoaable than the chains on his body. When on the
scaffold, to a question of the executioner, Whether he was
ready to give the fatal signal for the drop to fall ?' he answered,
he wished first to say a few words to Mr. Budge. I was then
in Mr. Delmar's carriage, close to the place of execution, and
I immediately went to him. His words were precisely these :
I have told you all about the murders, and I wish now, with
my dying breath, to confirm it. But one request I have to
make to you. Let not the names of those who were in it be
revealed, lest they should come into trouble; but let me be
considered as alone guilty, and deserving of what I am to
suffer: The cap was then pulled over his head, which I did
at his request, and he was immediately launched into eter-
nity, and appeared to die without a struggle.
" Limehouse, Aug. 8, 1818:"

J. RUDGE.

MANUFACTUR .—We learn with satisfaction,
that in consequence of some recent regulations in
the United States of America, respecting the
duties on iron, at several of the iron-works, bar-
iron is now manufactared under the hammer ;
and we are led to believe that this alteration will
add very considerably to the demand of our own
iron for markets where heretofore that of Sweden
has been used, as sales are very brisk, at ad-
vanced prices.—(Bristol Mirror, Aug. 15.)
INPAMOU Houses..---On Sunday night a foreign
Gentleman was enticed into one of the infamous
brothels which exist in a dirty court in White
Hart Yard, Catherine-street, Strand, and there
completely p'undered of all his property. if the
Police were to visit these places. of the and in-
famy, it is not unlikely but they might meet with
many notorious thieves, and be the means of re-
lieving the public for a time from their depreda-
tions,

Mr. Comrs, who 'performed his magical won-
ders and ventriloquism 'in town, is gone to Chel-
tenham, where it is likely that he will not find
!Nally Conjurors.
'Yesterday being the PRINCE REGENT'S birth-
day, the Royal Standard was hoisted on the walls

THE FUL)GE EANIII.7.

MR. EDITOR,-4 cannot but smile at the alarm
of your Correspondent The Pressman, whoSe fa-
mily I should he very sorry US distress ; though
I could wish hint a better and more creditable
employment than that of reprinting- FUDGE.
Vet he knows hut little of the boOeseiling busi-
tress, whatever he May of the book-pritatug, if be
supposes that any critique, however severe, and
however just, can operate to discoArage the sale
of a book once become popular. No; a natural,
and not distant, date awaits them, and that will
rather he deferred than hastened, by any thing
for whatever purpose, recAls the public
attention to them ; as a dying man has sometimes
been revived by a blow intended to dispatch hint.
If I hold my band, which I ant inclined to do, it
is rather from apprehending the contrary effect to
that which the Press Man dreads; because I fear
that by making poor FUDGE again the subject of ,
discussion, I might dispel for a time the mists
of oblivion, which are already gathering Nand
him.

Master Thomas Brown, the vonv,ger, is said to
be a very good humonred age:-,..able companion; and
if so, we have only a pew instance of opposition
between the man. and his Muse, when he com-
pels her to -;,:rite Satire. '' The best good man,"
:car, will riot apply,—but " the worst-natured
Muse"—certainly lie has, in the couplets of Mr.
O'Connor, at ►east,—'Phis personage is not only
bitter as to temper, but Jacobinical, rebellious,
and in all points completely anti- British. As to
the poor FUDGP.9 they are only mulish ; their
sarcasms are seldom good, their puns always bad,
their attempts at humour generally abortive, and
their versification often so imperfect and 'inhar-
monious, that the ear of Christopher Anstey
would have been tortured even to madness by
the sound. Mr. Simkin B—nh—d never writes
unharmonious verses, even when he goes

--- quite out of spirits to bed,
With the wind in his stomach, and noise in his head.

Not so Miss and Master Fudge, whose art of
Poetry seems to have been studied under those
same " metre-ballad-mongers" whose rhymes
Hotspur dreaded more than

"'!'o hear a brazen candlestick furred,
Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree."

But, for the reasons already mentioned, here
I stop, contenting myself with mere generalities ;
feeling besides, that the detail ofparticulars would
inevitably become tiresome ; certainly to myself,
probably to my readers. Severity against the
Fudges would not indeed " be breaking a but-
terfly upon the wheel," but some more noxious and
venomous insect. Let them, however, hum and
sting through their little clay, assured that a very
short period will close their career, and that when
once, they die they -will never revive. Tantu»z,

DISTRESSING CASE.—The following is perhaps
one of the most distressing cases of affliction
which can be conceived ; we have certain know-
ledge of irs being correct in every particular :
The father was lately a gentleman in very re-
spectable circumstances ; he had a son in business,
for whom he was cautioner ; but his son becom-
ing bankrupt, he was unable to answer the de-
mands on him, and became batik' opt also. Im-
mediately after this, one of the daughters died
of a consumption. Soon after, another was
seized with the same complaint, and followed her
sister. The son having gone abroad, lost his
health, and died also. The father wishing to re-
move another and a favourite daughter, now be-
come doubly dear t•o him, to a little distance, for
change of air and scene, was conveying her in
gig along the side of the canal leading to Grange-
month, when the horse becoming restive, fell
with the gig into the canal—the young lady was
drowned ; he with difficulty got ashore. Having
buried his daughter, he set off for home, but the
chaise in which he was broke down within six
miles of his own house, and lie had to finish his
journey on font. All these calamitous events
happened within the short period of one year.--
(Perth Courier.)

CORO NeR'S INQUEST.-Yesterday an inquest
was held at the Lord Collingwoud, Bethnall-
green, before J. W. UNWIN, Esq. Coroner, on
the hudy of Charles Tumage, aged five years,
son of.llTr. lobn Tumage, of the above place. It
appeared in \evidence, that the deceased was
missed by his parents for several days, and it was
supposed he had been stolen. The beadle cried
hint to no purpose, and on searching the privy,
the deceased was .tound in the soil, quite dead.
There was no evidence adduced to show how the
deceased came into that dreadful situation.—
Verdict—Accidental Deal/A.

NATURAL CußtoSlTY.—Some days ago, there
was hatched on the farm of Balisparden, near
Fort George, by a hen belonging to THOMAS
M'lloNaLD, Esq. a chicken with four legs, all
(Ville perfect and fully formed. It lived eight
nays, and is now in the possession of M. ALEx.
FoR'REsTER, Campbell-town. •
Bucxs.—On Friday, the ith instant, Cook
Elms, an inhabitant of the village of Shabbing-
ton, was flogged through) the town, pursuant to
sentence passed on him at the last county Sessions,
holden at Aylesbury, for assaulting the Rev. P.
Long, Vicar of that pi kiCe.
Yesterday moruitig, about four o'clock, as Mr.
Wileocks, a butcher, residing at Putney, was
walking' along the Wandsworth road, towards the
London markets, he was stopped by three foot-
pads, and beat in the rnoit inhuman manner; and
afterwards robbed of 141. in Bank of England
notes. A fishmonger, named Everett, was going
to Billingsgate, and found Mr. W. lying on the
ground, quite insensible, and with very little re-
m aioittg signs of line. He got assistance, and bad
him Conveyed home to his family,
