- FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS_OF THIS DAY.
[Morning Chi onickl'
By the Leeward Island packet we have' also re-
ceived letters from the Island of Margatita, de-
tailing the state of defence in which that impt..-
taw point has been placed, through the patriotism
of its inhabitants, and the activity tot their dis-
tinguished leader, General ArismeAlLLAitiiple
supplies of all kinds of warlike stores bad Ptinred-
in , and considerable trade was carrying on, par-
ticularly in the proceeds of condemned prizes. A
Court of Vice-Admiralty was established there
for all naval concerns, Several valuable captures had
been made of vessels coining front and going to La
Guira, and other ports in possession of the Spa.'
niards, all which were declared in a state of
blockade by the Independent Government. By
the same conveyance we have also received
proceedings instituted against several rich
Portuguese vessels captured by privateers under
commissions from'Artigas, and sent to Margarita.
It appears the Vice-Admiralty Court bad refu •ed to
condemn them, being unaware that Artigas, who
did not belong to the Government of Buenos
Nvres, had any authority to issue let ters of marque.
• The proceeds of vessels and cargoes had been, iu
the mean time, deposited in the Court till the
point was cleared up.

A Tom IN TEIE GRr.AT Ciact.Es.—A very ex-
traordinary discovery at present occupies atten-
tion, in consevenee of the distinguished rank
which the subject of this article holds in society.
This personage has gone " to that bourne horn
whence no traveller returns," and he had left be-
hind him a name unimpeached until this eciaircisse-
meat. To understand the derail, it is necessary
to go some years back. A well-known character
in the busy scenes of politics, many years ago,
married in a foreign country a Lady of great for-
. tune and considerable accomplishments. Some
rime After their arrival 'in this gay metropolis, the
Lady having jewels of prodigious value, her hus-
band represented to her the folly and danger of
retaining such precious articles about her person,
adding the serious loss of interest, &c. The Lady
was inexorable. The Gentleman desisted front the
pursuit. Some time after, upon a great emer-
gency, the Lady sent for her legal adviser, and
told him that she had been robbed of all her
jewels. The Learned Gentleman recommended
an immediate application to the Police Offices.—
The 'Lady hesitated, Tier husband being absent
'from town—subsequently she consented. A full
description of the property was entered in the
robbery book at Bow-street ; handbills were is-
sued to the pawnbrokers, and advertisements- in-
serted. Aft inquiry proved fruitless ; no discovery
took place during the life of the Lady, nor that
of her hatsbatsd—but lo ! after his death,. the exe-
cutors found in his secretaire the very jewels
which the wife had lost. They have been valued
since, and are estimated at a very considerable
sum indeed.

The LORD CIiANCELLoR has not yet made up
his mind to take possession of his magnificent
house in Hamilton-place. It was built by the
late Lord NioNTGomaata, and Illlrchased,with the
furniture, for a sum about ten ihousat►d pounds
itss than die first cost by the Learned Lord neatly
two years ago. •

" The King is better. His Majesty transacted

" By an Qrdonnance of the Chamber of Coun-
cil, dated yesterday, the Tribunal de premiere
instance, on the Report of M. Meslier, Juge
struction, has referred to the' Conr Royale
the case of Nicholas Cantillon, formerly a soldier,
charged with having in the night between the
-10th and I Ith February last, committed, with pre-
meditation and malice propense, an attempt
at homicile, upon the person of the Doke of
Wellington, which attempt was manifested
by overt acts, and followed by a comtuencement
of execution, and which only failed in its effect
by fortuitous circumstances, independent of the
will of the accused party..

" The case of the Sicur Mariner, who i% de-
clared to be of no profession;bas been referred by
the same Ordonnance to the Cour Royale, on the
charge of complicity with., Cantillon,. in exciting
the latter by promises, and giving him instruc-
tions to commit the mime.

" The proceedings of the Chambers of Accu-
sation, which it will be necessary to examine for
the purpose of ascertaining tvhether it is fit
the accused should be tried before the Court of
Assizes, are extremely voluminous. Besides
the interrogatoties and declarations taken at Paris,
there are a multitude of declarations of witnesses
which b,,ve been taken in the Netherlands by

virtue ut rogatory commissions.
" M. Claveao, tile advocate of Cantillon, is
thawing up.a second memoir in his favour.
