We hate sines Saturday arrivals from Ham-
burgh, Brussels, and Paris, from all of whicb we
have made extracts. The foreign news, however,
does not claim much notice from, its importance.
The paritiaii trial draws to its conclusion, but the

be attached., and we have accordingly given the
proceedings with becoming brevity.

" PAIIII) JULY 4.—Those persons whom the
Duke of Orleans, hy virtue of the powers which
he had received from the King, had created Offi-
cers of the Legion of Honour, or Chevaliers of
Saint Louis, in March 1815, and whose provi-
sional brevets are not yet confirmed, have been
requested to transmit the necesssary documents
to the proper Officers to enable the King to con-
firm them in their }auks.

up the evidence. -He pointed out, to the accused
the nature of their crime, and slimed thent what
ought to he its punishment. He tlien commented
upon the conduct of the first three of the con-
spiratdrs. Pleignier, he said, was the chief, Car-
boomeatt seconded him, and ToHeron was forced
to act with them. The others have only acted in
concert with the Police.

" Catbunueau spoke for himself; be declared
that Pleignier bad deceived him, in saying that he
had powerful friends. As soon as he was aware of
the impostnit, he abandoned all connection with
this dangerous man; and on the evening of his ar-
rest he was upon,the iuint of entolling'llimsell in

" For some days past the possibility of a war
in Europe has been the talk of Paris. This re-
yort has not the slightest foundation ; we do not
find the least trace of it even in 'the English
Papers, which are the echoes of all Europe, and
Which collect all the reports, all the suppositions,
all the truths, and all the lies. The vetion is,
that such an assertion could not obtain credit in a--
country where the people occupy themselves se-
rious!y about politics.

All the exterior acts of Government visibly
prove the unanimity of their 'intentions, as well
as the unity of their interests. It is known that
amicable arrangements exist bet een all the Ca-
binets. No sign, no indication, can make us
conjecture a war, and a continuation of decisive
facts guarantees the length and necessity of

most splendid have been munificently lavished.
It extends our charity, and abates our pride, to
reflect with calmness on the fate of one Who was
equally the delight of society, and the grace of H.
.terature,—whom it has been for many years the
fashion to quota as a bold reprover of the selfish
spirit of party; and throughout a period fruitful
of able Men and trying circumstances, as a most
popular specimen in the /kids!) senate of political
consistency, intrepidity, and honour.
It is needless to say much on those intellectual
pos►'erit whose living memorials are formed to
coniinand the admiration of every Ware age.—
The astonishing talent for observation, and know•
ledge of character, displayed by BIr.SHISRIDAN in
his dramatic writings, will 'surprise us more when
we recollect that be compOsed The Rival whilst
yet a boy ; and that his School for Scandiil was
written at four and twenty. Those who are best
'acquainted with the history of. the Stage for an
hundred years preceding their appearance, can
best appreciate the obligations of the public to an
author, whose dialogue has the spirit of reality

without its coarseness—who neither wearies nor
*Wends his audience—but whose sentiment is ani-
coated, and wit refined. His Opera is another
specimen of various power, and St►ERMMAN has
combined in the plot and language of his Duentra

the charms of delicacy, elegance, and ingenuity;
and in his songs has discovered a taste and pathos
of high poetical beauty.
If we pursue Mr. SREXIDAN into political life.
We shall have equal cause to admire the vigour
and versatility of his genius. The field on every
side of him was occupied by the ablest men who
bid appeared in Parliament for more than half a
century. Bum, whose mature mind was richly
furnished front the intellectual stores of all ages
and of all nations—Xtrr and Fox, not left like
Suserrics to chance, but 'trained and mouldec.

&hie checks to the rise of an adventurer not re-
commended by character nor connexion—never
educated for public life—beset by a thousand mis-
chievons habits—crusted over with indolence,
and depressed by fortune. Some wonderous

internal power buoyed him up, and a temper
invulnerable to ordinary attacks left him at

sail times in possession of licts unshaken facul-
ties. In co-operation therefore, or rivalry,
or hostility, with the first men of his day, he dis-
tinguished himself amongst them by wielding
with success the various weapons for which they
were- respectively celebrated. In flow of diction
he yielded. not even to Mr. PITT.---111 force and
acuteness he might justly.be compared with the
foremost Opposition Leader—while in splendour
imagination,he eq►►alled Humus, and in its use
and management excelled him. His sarcasms
•err fine, and only less severe, than those by
which 111 r. PITT indulged his anger ; and the wit
he displayed in Parliament was, perhaps from
the suavity of his temper, much Lis slidrp
than btaliant. But the quality
.which predo-
minated over all its companions in- the mind
of Mr. SIIVRIDAN was his exquisite and highly
finished taste. In this rare talent he had no com-
petitor ; and this it was which gave such

Cable grace to ilia expressions, and which', in ay-
Ailing or declaiming, in ettlogy or invective, till-
.poletli his thoughts an effect so full and ad-
Inhabit!. ' We cannot expatiate farther opt his

lebrity of that moment poOred urOand him, ass
an orator and statesman Of comprelieniiVe and

transcendant powers—no human fertnne could
have surpassed the expectations then 'formed of his
Future eminence. Why they have not ,since been
realized, is a question which posterity will not fail
to ask. We pass by the details of his parliamen-
tary progress, from the discussions on the RegericY
in 1789, to those on the same subject in 1611.
Many important questions, many dangerous crises,
which arose in the long interval between these
periods, gave Mr. SiIERIDAN the means to esta-
blish for himself an occasional interest with
the people of England, distinct from any that
could have been derived front mere proofs of
talent, or influence of party. On the mutiny at
the Nore, he enjoyed the credit of essentially
contributing to save the State Whenever the
Liberty of the Press was attacked, that bul-
wark of the Constitution. found in him its most
zealous
.and consistent defender : and when the
early burst of Spanish patriotism had raised a
strong sympathy throughout this country, it was
Mr. SHERIDAN who first gave form and expression
to the feelings which swelled every English heart ;
and who traced in Parliament the natural rela-
tion between. the support of Spain and the
deliverance of Europe: Without instituting too
severe or invidious scrutiny into the justice of
those high encomiums which have been passed
on Mr. SHRRIDANIS patriotic spirit, we shall mere-
ly observe, that one object of our admiration is.
the exquisite judgment—the dexterity of tact—.
with which he at all times seized the full title of
public sentiment, and turned it into the proper
channel, Bet it must be acknowleged that the
longir he retnained in the House of Commons, and
before the public, the more his personal conse-
quence declined. Mr. SHERIDAN had never in his
happiest days effected any thing by steady applica-
thin. He was capable of intense, but not of regular
• study. When public duty or private difficulty urged
him, he endured the harden as if asleep under its
pressure. At lengih, when the pain could be no
longer borne, he roused himself with one mighty-
effort, and burst like a lion through the toils.—
There are reasons for believing that his consti-
tutional indolence began its operation upon
Mss habits at an early age. His very first
&made scenes were written by snatches,
with considerable intervals between them.—
Convivial pie sates had lively charms for one
-whose wit was the soul of the table ; and
the swirling glass—the tuedimn of social in-
tercoure—bad no small share of his affection.—
These were joys to be indulged Without effort : as
such they were too. 'vi it calculated to absorb the,
time of Mr:•Sit BRIDAN, and sooner or later is make
large encroaeltarenis on his character. His attend-
ance In Parliament became every year more lan-
guid—the via ineeliaS snore incurable—the plunges
by which his genius had now and then extri,.eted him
in former times less ftequ,!nt od more feeble. We
never witnessed a comp's. 11)11Ch mart melancholy
than between the brilliant and 4:ollllTlto..sing talent
displayed by Mr. S. throughout tee first regency
discussioes, and the low scale of :!.'rve, activity,
and capacity, to which be seemed reduced, when
that subject was more recently agitated in Par-
liament. But indolence and intemperance must
banish reflection,. if ntst corrected by it ; since no
man could support the torture of perpetual self-
reproach. Aggravated, we fear, by some 'such
causes, the naturally careless temper of. Mr. Sus-
beellme ruinous to aU his better hopes and
prospects. Without a direct apriite for spend-
ing us spay, he thought not of checking its ex-
penditnre. The economy of time was as Much
disregarded as that of money. All the arrange.
ments, punctualities, and minor obligations of
life were forgotten, and the household of Mr,
SHERIDAN was always in h state of nature. His.
domestic feelings were originally kind, and his
initialers !malt: : but the same bad habits seduced
him Iron the House of Commons, and from
bottle ; and equally injured hint as au agent of the
public good, and its a dispenser of private happi-
ness. It is painful, it is mortifying, but it is our
sacred duty, to pursue this history to the end.--,
Pecuniary embarraisments often lead men to shifts
and .expediews—these exhausted, to others of a
less doubtful colour. Biuuteul sensibility—re-
newed excesses—loss of cast in society—foliose.

tulle and darkness close the scene.

LU r, so celebrated for her beauty and vocal powers,
by whom he bad one son, the present Mr. THOMAS
SHERIDAN, who now fills an office at the Cape of
Good Hope, Afterber death, he married Miss
OGLs, niece to the Dean of WINCHEST4O, WllO
survives him by wboux he had one soti# the

in consideration Of ris interest in that establish-

Duchy.of Cornwall, 'to which he was appointed
by his Royal flightless the Prince of WaLtri, now
become vacant. Fie also a Privy CounsellOr,
and asaubli entitled Right orrourahle.
Mr. S;lRRlDAN.repreetped the town of Stafford
in 'several Parliaments, and would have probably
continued to doso until his death, had he not
preferred standing for the City of Westminster,
tor which he seas returned in the Fox and Gren-
ville AttOdnistration, tattler which he filled the
office Of Treasurer ot the 141aVy, far the short pe-
riod of Qui year.
Pei-son, Mr. SitralDAN was &Ye the middle
size, Of a robtist constitution, well limbed, in-
clining K little to a stoop, and.de.p in the chest.
Its eye was black, and of uncommon brilliancy
and expression. SirJostithsßectaoLDS said that
the pupil was the largest of any human eye that
he had ever painted. .
'relent seems to have been alMost hereditary in
the 84ittinAu family. Mr. SHERIDAN'S grandla7
titer was `the intimate and esteemed friend of the
celebrated
,s•Nty'r. , His father and mother were
both eminent, Ina. talent and literary attainments.
The Vista t, iLf Sweden, by his hrothe'r, formerly'
Secretary of IVar,in Ireland, is a work of merit ;
and the Sons of Erin, a popular comedy, is from
the pen of his sister', Mrs.. LaFANU, of Dublin.
A Morning
.Paper says, that ,Mr.Sneatirata
thonght himself three years older than we heVe
stated (viz. GS), and adds, a that 'or several
weeks prior to his.death he lay under arrest',
that it was only by the fartrOOs and humanity of
the 'two eminent Physioians 'scho attended him,
Dr. BMWS and Dr. BAIN, that an ebdurate at•
torney was prevented front executing a threat to
remove him from his hore,e to a death bed in gaol.''
have even heard it whispiaidl that an Wen-
.
tion was entertained of arresting his corpse; but
we trust dolt, if there is a heart sia hard, and a
mind so uninformed, as to attempt this barbarous
design, the monster, whoever he may be, will be
taught that it is equally against the law of
_the
land end the feelings of hutuaniry. Such a mode
of extorting money from lacerated souls catnot
be tolerated in a civilized country, and will not,
lwe hope, for the honour of our nature, be perse-
vered in, if it should ever have been thought of.
Mr. SHERIDAN is the last of that gallaxy of
,genius which adorned Great Britain towards the
close of last century. It shone not alone in the
Political hemisphere, but in Literat ore and the
%Arts ; and in all the subject of this memoir was
so pre-eminent as to add greatly to the grief
Ulrich must be felt, when so much of what is di-
vine in intellect, experiences the dreird transition
which most awfully demons; rates how much of
morrality mingle with the godlike attribute.
The Rivu/s, Mr. Stigma/tars first work, ap-
peared in l77s—the Critic was the last which he
acknowledged.
One anecdote, which wohave heard, serves to
illustrate the diversity and splendour of hie ta-
'eras. On an evening when he delivered. one of
his finest addresses in the British Senate, the
Dueneo was performed at one, and the Schooifor
&ward 'at the other of our ational Theatreir
Thais, at one bout, did thousands of his of.
miring countrymen, in three different pines,
feast on the . produce of his exuberant mind.—
Such was the fascination of his manners and
convivial powers in triviste life, that it was ins'
possible, after an.y intereoitrse with him, not to
take a warm interest in his oehalf—to forget, as
we do now, all his foibles, and LIM!" ta remember
his wit, Ids ingenuousness,, his candour, and :his-
genius.

We must nqw conclude this obituary, and we
do so by expressing a hope that the biography of
Mr. Su RRIDAN May be' undertakenliy u person
qualified fur the labour=--•and few there are, for
it is a fine and Copithis subject demanding a.inas-
ter's hand---:-and that a collection at his Worlii,
published and-unpublished, may With all cOnve
nient speed enrich the literary world, and delight
the public,

The example set by the liiiston-moor
in dragging their 'waggons and petitions through
the country, As we anticipated, had many
imitators. On Saturday week a waggon lOad of
coals, drawn by 80 With ropes, arrived in
Leicester, where they collected a considerable
sum of Money. Al second load arrived au Mon-
day, butt the collection was of course to a smaller
atutiont. The men behaved well, Ant it is assert-
ed that they had a certificate of their necessities,
Isigneit by the Minister of their parish,: but we
cannot credit so improbable tit story. Another
team of collie's passed through Leicester on
Thursda) last, begging their way northwards.--
The coals which the colliers were drawing Were
given them by the manager of a great colliery, for
the pugilist of their being draWn to London.
They had a painted board too; says the same au-
thority, containing a Magistrate's certificate in
their favour.

Letters froth. Leieestershire state, that through
the activity of the Magistrates, and the OfNeers
sent down from London, two men were on Thurs-
day brought to Leicester gaol; on auspicirin of

was armed with a bayonet (hung through' the
hutton-hole of his Oat) a pistol; and a hatchet.
thOr Captain, as they called him, was mounted on
