Ripperda found the Alcazar at Segovia answer every purpose
of his malignant rivals, but that of subduing his 9
They bad placed him in charge of a creature of their own.
And though the noble prisoner lay for several days in.such
extremity, that for as many nights his faithful servant dc+
spaired of his ever seeing the light of another morning, yet
nu physician was permitted to enter those dismal walls. A
dungeon was his chamber ; and the coarsest fare his sup-
port. The men, who would nut dare to administer poison or
strangulation, calculated without tem,irse on this way of
ridding themselves of au obnoxious life. When they thought
hint sufficiently reduced by sickness and bodily hardships,
they put his will to the torture, by sending a Well-tutored
priest to extort a confession of his crimes. The demand
Was backed by an insulting assurance, that, ors such a proof
of penitenc:; lie should be allowed the. indulgence of the.
state apartments, and the range of the garden for exercise.
" Ripperda rejected these insidious proffers with indigna-
tion. Sometimes the language of his Inquisitor provoked
him beyond self-eontroul; -and, between the delirium of ill-
ness, and the phrenzy of despair, he, more than once, was
left racing, or insensible, in the arms of his servant. As
time Wore away, and no tidings of Louis or Lorenzo arrived,
his enemies took advantage of this circumstance ; and on
11lititini incautiously druppingA hint of the young Marquis's
future revenge on the injurers of his father, the priest inti-
mated that Louis was in Lou good an understanding with his
own interests to unite them again with'a discarded traitor,
though he were his parent.
"'Phis imputation on his son was too much for the small
remnant of patience that remained to the Mike. He was now
reduced to a maddening state of mental irritation ; to an ex-
;operated hatred of human nature ; and denouncing Austria
and Spain in one wide malediction, he fiercely commanded
their agent to leave his presence.' The man, however, sat,
unmoved in soul or in countenance, while Martini looked
with anguish on his master; as on a noble galley he had late-
ly seen proudly stemming its steady way through the raging
sea, but now beheld bereft of rudder and compass, and at
the mercy of every wind.
" The malignant priest waited for a momentary calm, and
then threw out some dark hints, that in a test' clays Itipperda
would be
.removed to a surer durance ; and on a double
charge of having secretly maintained the principles of here-
sy its himself ; and entrusted the interests of his Catholic
Majesty to his son, .horn he knew to be a professed heretic.
The Duke listened to this in gloomy silence ; tort when the
subtle agent proceeded to say, that this sun had offered Iris
evidence to witness the seine, Ripperda started from his
chair. He now knew no bounds to his wrath ; and lie pro-
claimed it in such a manner, that the terrified priest flew be-
fore him. Insult and outrage seemed to have given that In,
dily vigour to Ripperda, which medicine and surgery bad
taken no pains to restore.
" Revenge is within me, like a new principle of life !'
Cried he, to Martini; I will free myself. And then they
shall feel the strength that lies in this single arm !'
" Martini learnt from the servants of the prison, that the
'priest's denunciation was no vain threat; for preparations
were silently making for the Duke's removal to the Inquisi-
tion, as soon as the Kin,.b could be brought to sign the war-
rant. All knew that such a warrant was the signal of deaths';
and of such a death, that human nature shuddered at the
bare idea of its, horrors. Martini hastened to his master
with the intelligtiace. He found him leaning over a map of
the world, which lay on the table before him. Ripperda at-
tended to all he said, with profound attention. When he
bad finished speaking, he commanded him to Withdraw
for -an hour i &hest *ltiCh time, he would tell him his reso-
lution. •
" It was t-sto hours before the Duke called bins in from the
anti-chamber, which was his usual station as his master's
guard.; and then he calmly told him that it was his deter-
fuination to effect his own escape, and to take his revenge
front the pillars of Hercules. As he spoke, be pointed with
his finger to the spot on the map which marked the Rock of
tiikaltar. Martini readily came into all his master's plans;

LONDON,
TUESDAY, 411.4 Y 1818.

THE QUEEN:

This morning the following Bulletin was issued-
respecting iler AlmsTY's health :

" Queen's Palace, May IG, 1818, 11 A.M.

" The QUEEN continues much the same to-day
as Her MAJESTY was yesterday, having passed

another good night.

" FRANCIS -NIILMAN,
" HENRY II:ILFORD."

We hate the pleasure, front private inielligence
on which we can depend, to confirm the Bulletin
of this day respecting Her MAJESTY'S health,—
The disorder is so much abated, that all present
danger is thought to be removed, and there settus
to be no apprehension of another attack.

There is no truth in the report that was circu-
lated yesterday, of the Death of the Princess of
WALes. The loss of an Illustrious Daughter,
who was universally beloved, and was the hope
of this Country, must, of course, have deeply af-
fected her Royal Highness; and so dreadful a
loss must have excited a shock, the effects of
which cannot be easily surmounted.

We received this morning a Port-au-Prince
Paper of the I 2th ultimo, in which, after the an-
nouncement of the death of the President PRTION,
and of the arrangements for his funeral, the
following Proclamation is given, which was issued
by his Successor, General BoYEll

" PROCLAMATION to the PEOPLE and the ARMY.
" JEAN PIERRE BOY ER, President of Hayti.

" Citizens,—Alexandec Petion is- no more, we
have lost that incomparable Chief, our Father,
our Benefactor ; our regrets are common, our
tears mingled together sufficiently indicate what
was the union of our hearts, and renders it evident
on whom we had fixed our regirds, on him who
had been chosen by Providence as the dispenser of.
its kindness to a regenerated people, and of which
destination he never lust sight. Let us turn our
eyes upon the past, let us look back, on the
way through which we have passed, let us
look to what we have done, and recollect
that instead of our energy not being employed,
it has been, on the contrary, wielded with all its
force, and we shall see that in his Excellency the
late President of Hayti, whilst still our country
was the divinity 'that attracted ,our worship, he
was well worthy of being chosen amongst us to
represent it. But whatever may be the magni-
tude of our -loss, yet let us be ►►live to tl►at sacred
voice which ought to make itself. heard, and to
agitate all our souls, and at the sound of which our
hearts ought electrically to raise themselves
above all the events appertaining to humanity.
Hari is the work of your hands, the product of
your courage where Liberty and the Rights of the
Citizen are in the most perfect state. Shall we
renounce these ines►imable advantages by stiffer-
ing ourselves to be cast down by adversity ? Let
iti-on the contrary, re-animate our courage. Citi-
zens, let us form a circle round the Tree of Liberty,
where the ashes of our august Chief repose, and let
his name, the sacred name of the Republic, be
our rallying cry, our word of order ; let us terrify
.
our e.nemies by our firm and imposing attitude ;
let us become, if need be, a nation of heroes.
Experience has proved to us the nature of our
strength ; we are, we ought to be, invincible.
Let us be united, and notbingcau arrest the course

of our happy destiny; tlie republic of Hayti wil
triumph ; the Harians, die people, bare wale,
it, and it will br.

" ley the eiroice of We. Senate to take
rh'e helm of the vessel of the State, l will give
you the example of courage. lam become Hay
Chief of a mostinteresti•cg fitfully, and I htrve need
of the Divine assistance, of the concurrence and
aid of my fellow•eitizens. In a popular Govern-
ment the people are every thing, their confi-
dence it is vt Lich constitutes authority, and
that authority can only be used for their
advantage. I feel amidst the ardent love
of My conntry by which I Aisi animated,
and the respect that I owe to the national
will, that I am no longer the same individual,
that lam the man of the State. Oh my Fellow-
citizens cover Inc with your shield ; Senators, Le-
gislators, be my friends, enlighten me ; fienrals
my colleagues and hfothers in arms ; brave Al my
of the Republic, give me the assistance of your
arms to ensure the peace and repose of our laud-
lies ; Magistrates of tbe people reckon upon the
execution of the laws, upon its being my first duty
to observe them ; Agriculturists, peaceable cul-
tivators, give yourselves up, without fear, to your
valuable labours; the more the prdduce is advan-
tageous to you, the more thy mind will be
satisfied. Noticing tkat has been established
by my aognst predecessor either can or ought to
be altered, the preservation of the Republic de-
pends upon the sacred right of property, upon
the master of one square of land being consider-
ed equal in the eye of the law to him who has a
hundred, and equally the master of what he pos-
sesses, it depends upon commerce being left without
disturbance to its speculations, and whether in the
republic or with foreigners, it shall in protected ;
the object of the constitution shall be fulfilled;
order and economy shall every where prevail ;
the money of the State shall be employed for the
advantage of the State ; public credit shall not be
invaded ; the national debt is under the safeguard
of the nation ; the worship of our ancestors shall
be respected, the Magistrates honoured,good men
considered. Pray God I may never have to pu-
nish the guilty or the wicked, it will be to my
heart the most painful of sacrifices. But what-
ever sacrifices may be necessary to insure the hap-
piness of the people, let my heating heart be ani-
mated by the sacred fire of Hayti, let me
burn with a fire similar to that which de-
vours me, the pure flame of liberty, and
of the love of my fellow-citizens, Generals
'of the army who are entrusted with autho-
rity, every one in the order of your attributes ;
Magistrates who are alive to the interests of
families do your duty, responsibility rests upon
you, it shall be very light, for I owe you no-
ticing but praise and gratitude, and admiration to
the people and the army. Under the recent
painful circumstances order has been perfectly
preserved, and you have strewn that you are far
from being unworthy of your political situa-
tion. Continue, Oh my clear fellow-citizens, to
shield me with the buckler of your esteem and
your confidence. Whenever you wish to deve-
lope energy and firmness "you will find the at my
post ; assist, rue to do good ; mildness and bene-
volence shall be the rule of that conduct which
you shall invariably witness in me ; follow this
excellent course, so agreeable to my principles,

and to my heart;

Prince, the Ist Api il, 1818, in the 15th Year
of the Independence of
" BOYEIt.

" By the President,
" The Secretary-General, " B. INGINAC."

[The Paper contains in addition an Address of
the Foreign Merchants at Port-an-Prince to the
new, President, with the Answer of the latter, and
an Order of the Day issued by the President, dated
the 2d April, for the re-coanenceenent of public
business.]

We received this morning' the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. They state at some length, as a
matter of great importance, the arrest at Paris of
the Chief of a gang of robbers and two of his ac-
complices, but contain no political news of any
importance.
The Chamber of Council of the Tribunal of Cor-
rectional Police at Rotten have decided against the
claim of Messrs. COMTE and DUNOYER to be set at
liberty they are to be tried on Thursday.
These Papers repeat the statement given in the
German Journals of the dangerous illness of the
Princess of WALES.

The King of PeusstA is expected to leave Berlin
for Moscow the 27th in.t.
