MR. Eprrott---,When we look back to the pa-
ttiotic labours of the Opposition Press, we shall
Lordly be surprised at the numerous emigrations
to France, promoted as they have been by the
I►rilliant pictures of French prosperity and French
hospitali y, which the Editor of the Chronicle has
Aligiogly laid before the public. It was not

many months ago that this worthy gentleman, in
long panegyric upon France, attributed its
tisiog greatness, (it would puzzle the Chronicle
to say in what it is rising) to the mildness of its
Government ; to its indulgent laws, in short to
its being as compared with England—a free court-
try,—As no contradiction of this rapturous effusion
hats graced the columns of the accomplished Citro-
tick, I conclude that it is still the advocate of

the great Nation, and as charity to our enemies
teaches us to correct their blindness, I would offer
the following fact to the consideration of that
patriotic Journal, which some of the Church and
&ate men maliciously call the- Anti-Briton; and
then ask the Conductor what he thinks of his free
country. For the authenticity of this fact I dis-
tinctly pledge myself, and I sincerely hope it may
have the effect of making our fellow-countrymen
in France acknowledge that, notwithstanding all
the abuse poured upon England, there are mo-
ments in which they look back 'with regret to the
Island, which want of patriotism in the many and
untoward circumstances in a few have forced them
to abandon. I am, Sir,
our very obedient Servant,
G. M.

In the early part of last month, en English-
man named Curd, who commands a small trading
vessel between Dieppe and Brighton, left the firs,
mentioned town for Calais, accompanied by an
English friend, named Addis, who had some time
Previously settled at Dieppe, where he gave les-
sons in his own language. It was intended that
Addis should only - proceed as far as a
small town called Dienville, not many miles
from Dieppe, and that having seen his
companion safely in the Diligence, which
leaves that place for Calais, he should return
home. On arriving at Dieuville, they found that
the coach bad starred ; and as Curd knew no-
thing of the French tongue, Addis very kindly
*Efered to proceed with him as far as Abbeville
ogt foot, where he was likely to meet with a con-
Itcyance for the remainder of his journey. Addis,
'Who bad not contemplated taking so long a jour-
tley as 45-miles, bad left his passport at Dieppe, hilt
concluding (from the Chronicle of course) that he
Was in a free-country, the want of a passport gave
him no sort of uneasiness. At Abbeville, the
Gens d'Armes, an officious sort of Gentry, not
known In this country, took the liberty of remind-
ing the Englishman of the dignity of the Great
Nation, and very unceremoniously conducted him
before the Commissary of Police, who; alter find.
tag that he had no fee to bestow, or that he was
Itointentionally sinning against the laws, permit-
t"l him to return home, with a very serious in-
/unction never to leave it again without his pass-
Port. Addis took leave of his friend, and turned
/''s face towards Dieppe ; but he bad only pro-
'.eic(l 14 miles, when another set of Gens
d'Armes arrested him and threw him into prison,
where he remained two days, %vial only straw for
hts bed, and that not of the cleanest description.
t the end of this time, the Gens d'Armes having
hot •
htop.' else to do, re-conducted him to Abbe-
-
where, although he had before received per-
kis •
st°ll from the Commissary of Police to return
tb
Dieppe, he was imprisoned for two days more,
Itith the same description of accommodation. The
uth(
'rules of Abbeville having consulted on the
,oars,
tos to be pursued, sent him back to Dieppe, in

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

At the Sitting of the Crum this morning, Mr
PcAnsot4 resorted his argument in support of his
application on a former day for a New Trial in
the Cage of Sir CHARLPS WOLSBLBY, Bart.
and JOSILPH HARRISON, convicted at the last As-
sizes for the County of Chester, of unlawfully

assembling, and being so assembled, uttering cer-
tain eedirious expressions, of and concerning the
Government of this Realm.--nr. PRARSON hay-

ing concluded,

The JUDGES delivered their opinions seriatim,
all concurring that no reason had been shewn for
making the Rnle absolute.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then moved the Juda-
ment of the Court on the Defendants, after which
an affidavit was read on the part of Sir CHARLES
WoLsELEY, and Mr. PFAasoN addressed the Court
in the best speech the case would admit of, in
mitigation of punishment, on behalf of the De-
fendants.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied at great length,
contending, that there was great misconduct at-
tributable to the Defendant, being a man of
rank and I education, encouraging the people
to assemble in an unlawful manner.— With
respect• to frhuarsoN, he ought to have act-
ed differently ; being a Minister of the Gospel, be
bad shewn himself a hypocrite.
The COURT having consulted a few minutes,
said they would consider of the Sentence by Mon-
day ; in the mean time, HARtirsoN was remanded
to New gate, and Sir CHARLES WoLsELEY to the
custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench
Prison.
