TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

constequenee of a statement in your Paper
of the 11th inst., relative to the removal of Eleanor Ma-
honey, a poor woman living in this parish, lam directed
by the Parochial Committeemen of Chelsea, to communi-
cate to you, that at their meeting held yesterday, at which
the Hon. and Reverend Dr. Wellesley presided, they in-
vestigated the circumstances of the case, and the following
facts transpired.
Eleanor Mahoney, single woman, stated to the Over-
seers of Chelsea, on Tuesday last, that she was pregnant,
and that she was legally' settled in Marylebone: that she
did not know precisely the time of her confinement,
but did not expect to be delivered before the expiration
of a fortnight at least. The Overseers enquired of
the assistant parochial surgeon whether she could he re-
moved with safety ; and he said that in his opinion her re-
moval would be attended neither with danger nor incon-
venience. The legal examination of the pauper was there-
fore taken, and she was afterwards conveyed in a coach to
the Police Office, Queen-square, for the purpose of veri-
fying her statement on oath. She walked from the coach
into the office without needing assistance, but the motion
of the carriage bad evidently accelerated the time of her
delivery, and symptoms of approaching labour became ap-
parent. Mr. Gregorie, the only Magistrate on the bench,
signed the order of removal; but as the instrument re-
quired the signature of two Magistrates, she was obliged
to wait in the office the arrival of the second Magistrate.
As soon as Mr. Gregorie perceived her situation, but
before he had ascertained the other circumstances of the
case, he severely censured the beadle for bringing her to
the office, and desired him to take her away immediately.
She was re-conveyed to Chelsea in a coach, accompanied by
a medical gentleman, who stated, upon her return to the
workhouse, that it was not too late even at that time to
take her to Queen-square again, and if two magistrates
were present to sign the order immediately, she could
be removed without danger to Marylebone. She re-
mained, however, in Chelsea workhouse, and was
safely delivered in the course of the afternoon ; and is, at
this present moment, as well as any woman can be after
recent confinement.
The foregoing facts do most satialactorily exculpate the
Parish Officers from the charge of inhumanity, which has
been very unjustly charged against them ; for it has been
shown that the woman herself was ignorant of the time
of her delivery, and that the medical assistant was of
opinion that her removal could be effected with safety—an
opinion which the event has justified.
The imperfect account eiven in your Paper of the above
circumstance, is calculated to raise an unfavour-
able prejudice against the overseers of Chelsea; this
feeling so improperly excited ought to be immediately re-
moved, and it is considered that this end will be most
speedily and effectually attained, by inserting a concise and
aithful statement of the case in those Journals in which
an erroneous report has been published.
I am Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
Lawrence-street, Chelsea. W. CORNETT,
June 16, 1829. Vestry-Clerk.

His MAJESTY seems none the worse for the
awful and " all-absorbing" questions which have been so
thoroughly agitated and discu,sed, and so effectually settled
this Session. On the contrary he looks younger than be
did five years ago, and apparently better both in health
and spirits than he has been for these ten years inst.—

CITY, TWRLFR o' Cnocr.
Our arrivals this morning are numerous, not less . -
than five mails, two from Lisbon, the latter sailed
20th March. A packet from Rio de Janeiro sailed
the 12th April. A mail from Vera Cruz sailed the
11th April. A Leeward Island mail sailed the 9th
•
of May.

The Vera Cruz Papers of the 9th of April con-
tain a long speech of the President Guerrero on the
opening of the Chamber, which is full of hopes for
the future. The Conductor arrived at Vera Crui,
from the capital, with 930,000 dollars, in bars -so
coin, of which 600,000 were for merchants'
count.
It appears that all was quiet in Mexico by the
last accounts. A private letter, received at • the
North an4South American Coffee-honse,from Buenos

Ayres, of the 19th March, says that 'the termination
of the Civil disturbances seem as far off as vier,
but it is very probable that Lavalle and his Military
will carry all before them in the provinces, he has
tine troops and well officered. The City of Buenos
Ayres remains tranquil.
The Philadelphia Papers which we have received
to the 21st May, state, that the President of the .
United States has issued a Proclamation, suspending "j
the Acts of Congress, imposing discriminating
duties upon Austrian vessels entering the ports of
America, in consequence of information received by •
the Austrian Minister, that American vessels are
admitted to Austrian ports, on paying the same
duties imposed upon the commerce of diet country.'
In the foreign Market little or nothing doing, •
prices are nominal.

The Skylark packet sailfd for England on the Bth
March, with bullion on board to the amount of 250
thousand dollars, shipped at Tampico, and 100,000
at Vera Cruz. Public tranquillity and commercial.
property have remained unmolested, and the indem•
nification of the late pillage is expected. A Govern- ,
ment conductor of dollars and bars, valued at nine
hundred thousand dollars, left for Vera Cruz on the
123 d March, and about ten days before a private
conductor of four hundred thousand dollars, chiefly
in bars, proceeded to the same destination. Owing
to the proposal made in the Chamber of Deputies,
to prohibit the exportation of -bars, the Government
are in extreme want of money, but still obtaia
loans, partly in money and in local credit notes
for Custom-house Debentures.

The private letters from Buenos Ayres state thl4,.
they are going to issue paper money to pay off the

owing to the expedition against Terceira.
From Rio Janeiro of the 11th April the accountS
state, that the Emperor of Brazil is urging ever/
