GERNIA,Ist PAPERS.

Bgattm, MARCH 25.—General • Lewascheff,
Aide.de-Camp to his Majesty the Emperor of
Russia, has arrived here froth St. Petersburgh, on
his way to Calais, where he is to embark for
England, and deliver to his Majesty George IV.
the Emperor's letter of condolence upon the
death of the King his father, and the compli-
ments of congratulation on his accession to the
British Crown.

ST. PETERSBORGH, MARcH B.—The news of
the murder of the Duke de Berri has greatly at-
flicted his Majesty the Emperor. He sent for Count
de la Ferronage, the French Ambassador at this
Court, personally expressed his regret, and con-
versed with him a long time at the solemn ser-
vice which Count de Is Ferronage caused to he
celebrated for the Dike de Berri. The whole
diplomatic body, the Chief Civil and Military
AntLorities, the Aides-de-Camp of the Emperor,
all in their state uniforms, and many Ladies of the
Court, were present at this solemnity. An nu.,
fortunate circumstance occurred, just as the drums
were striking up to begin the military music which
wet to be performed, Mr. Columbi, the Spanish
Consul-general, was seized with an apoplectic fit,
fell down senseless, and expired on the spot.
Rorsa, MARCH B.—Oa the 3,1 of this month
some banditti from the kingdom of Naples attack..
ed, near Fondi, two cartiageS coming from Naples,
and carried away three travellers. One of
them, Mr. Baldinia, jeweller, was afterwards re-
leased, having bound himself to have 20,000
piasters paid at Fnndi for his ransom. Mr. Sa-
batini, who commands the Roman carabiniers on
the frontier, immediately pursued the robbers
with a detachment into the Neapolitan territory.
Seeing it impossible to escape, they released the
travellers, and prepared to defend themselves ;
an obstinate comhat ensued, in which Rinahli, of
Sonnino. the ck►ef of the banditti, was killed
by M. Sabatini. The approach of night and
a heavy rain favoured the escape of the others.
Two of them were supposed to be severely wound-
ed, for their cloaks, which wet e left behind, are
pierced with many balls. The bead of Rinaldi
,has been exposed at Prosinerie. A reward of 500
crowns has been given to the detachment of
carabiniers.

Yesterday the dispatches tor Madras and Ben-
gal, by the ship Woodford, were closed at the
East India House, and delivered to the Master of
that ship.

LINEN TRADE.

Mr. MABRIILY rose, pursuant to notice, to
Move the appointment at a Committee for to-
morrow, to take into • consideration the Acts of
the 29th of George H. and the 54t1i George 111.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
previous question, as the whole subject of frade would soon
be brought before the House.
Mr. MABERLY thought the course adopted most ex-
traordinary, as, by an a!rangement with the President of the
Board of Trade, he had umierstood no opposition would be
made to the motion. He should state, that his object •t is to
give employmeut to the people of Scotland, and should desire
that the Gth article of the Union be read.
Mr. ROBINSON stated, that he had promised not to oppose
the motion, and could not objvct to place the exportation of
British and Irish linens on the same footing. But it did not,
follow that the Chancellor of the Excite:ll.Kr might not hesi-
tate as to the, propriet v of assenting to it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had not been
aware of the understanding alluded to ; and, with the leave
of the House, would withdraw the previous question.
Mr. MABERLY was about to enter rip:ut the subject, when
the Speaker interposed, and observed, that any discussion
would then be premature, as the Committee was fixed for to-
morrow (this day.)
Mr. MAItEItLY then said, he should move that it-be an in-
struction to the Committee, to take into consideration the
charging a Duty on the Importation of Foreign Linen Yarn.
This gave rise to a conversation of some length, relative to
the point of order. But the SPEAKER having expressed his
opinion that the motion would be against the forms if the
House, as the Committee, which was to he so iostt ucted, had
not yet bean appointed, the motion was withdrawn.

person in female attire walking vet y confusedly along the road

and unlike those of the fair sex, that Heron suspected there
was something wrong in the business, and accotffingly gut of
the coach' and followed the object of his suSpicionS some dis-
tance. At length he took the liberty of looking under the'
boniset, and immediately discovered a well-known aegnaint-
&nee, with a rough hearel and a pair of carro:ywhiskers,
which he attempted to hide underAlle ears of a large cottage
cap ! After the first sautations had passed, Hi-ron asked'
him " what screw he was then upon ?” to Vilneli he ansWered,

of power; and at the command of the Sovereign
the most virtuous and eminent of his subjects may
he put to death, and their possessions taken from
t heir families. When Ibe tyrant appears in public,
he sits upon a throne of pure gold, glittering with
precious stone 3, and the people all fall prostrate
before him.

lo Cochin-China, the King is as despotic as the
Emperor of
.iiindostan, and the Nobles equally
erne!. No person permitted to approach nearer
to the Sovereign than al the distance of eighty
paces, and the lives and fortunes of the people
depend upon the Courtiers in favour with the
Aionarch.

The Japanese are also an enslaved and eppres•
led people. The Emperor is cruelly despotic,
and the Court, which is numerous, is equally ar.
hit►ary. Every petty Lord has a power over the
lives of his vassals and relations. The smallest
crimes are frequently punished ,►•ith death; and
the mildest sentence is banishment to a dreary
and almost barren island, surrounded by rocks,
and destitute of every comfort of existence.
It I had not already trespassed beyond the limits
which the interesting communications of other
Correspondents can fairly allow to me, I would
now extend my remarks upon the Government
and condition of distant Countries. In my next I
will do this, and then proceed to consider those
of the Nations of the European Continent.

LADIES AND GE:VI:LE:IEN,
ASevere Dom stic Affliction having stopped
the progress of my Personal Canvass, I feel myself
compelled by a sense of gratitude to those Friends who have
so Lindly promised ;or!. their Suffrages, and of respect to the
Proprietors et large, immediately to declare that, labouring
under the disadvantages incidental to the melancholy occur-
rence alluded to, it is not toy intention to proceed to the
Ballot upon the present occasion.
I take leave to express my most sincere Actno*ledsr,ments
to those Proprietors upon whom I have already had the ho-
nour of cainng, for 'the very polite and flattering manner in
winch they hare received toe on my Canvass—it affords me
the well-grounded hope, that !Iron a future occasion I shall
nut fail to have that support which wit! place me- in the dis-
tinguished Situation to which it is my best ambition to

aspire.
As soon, as circumstances will admit, I shall resume the
duty of paying my respects to all the Proprietors; and iu the

ILLUMINATIONS.
- Mr.EDITOR,—It. is amusing to see how eagerly
7'he Times seizes every opportunity of venting
itS spleen .at men and things, without even the
smallest regard to its own consistency.
Its_attack upon the Resolutions of the GUARDS'
FLUB rs pretty much of this nature, where it calls
`„"at gallant and deserving Officer, Sir HENRY
" Lord STEWART'S Member for Dur-
ailil" forgetting that its own. beloved Whigs
bud Radicals are known to send more thati
double the number of Members to that which all
the other parties in the Empire are accused of
mustering in a certain place. On that subject a
frequent Correspondent of your's has already
• given them sthne , hints, as to occasionally Bo-
t"ghs ; I hope he will continue his flagellation!
"ut then, this affair of the Club affords The
T "nes a eut at the nephew, as we believe Sir
ii
Itir to be, of a Noble Marquis in the Cabi-
et) whose generous dereliction of a princely in-
come outweighs all that our present Whigs have
ever done, or ever will do, for the Country ;
; 1141 if that gentleman really is indebted to Lord
~..rWART'S friends for a seat in Parliament, he
Ls still not to be blamed for the two unpardonable
o -trences which Lord STEWART has committed !
'the first of these is, that he is brother to Lord
41TLEREAGH! The second, that his Durham
, generous
was gained, along with the heart of a
tricks and noble-mindeeGirl, in spite of the
b:lexa and manoeuvres of the Whigs, who thought,
means of their oWn Broom, to sweep all that
Wealth and influence into their own party wallet.
hllut then, Sir ULYSSES BURGH has a sinecure
place in the Ordnance !—Pray, would The Times
°r.• the Whigs dislike such a thing ?—And three
v'vt the Officers have companies in the Guards,
:rough the influence of the Duke of WELLING-
°I4-1
Well, Sir, if that is enough to make a
matt sell his soul and conscience, what are we to
think: of the consciences of the Proprietor and
i""tor of The Times, if they have any, when put
i,
competition with a Hammersmith order for
2a'°l. worth weekly, and with a salary,
,said to
tilount_io 10001. per annum ?

wiscntsmt, Nov. 14.

Winchester yesterday was a scene of more dis-
graceful tumult and disorder than ever occurred
in this city before. The moment the decision in
the House of Lords was known, Mr. VA vAsoe.
E kRLE (who presented the Address to lIER
MA-
JESTY, which was signed by a few inhabitants of
the parishes of St. Maurice and St. Peter's) con-
ferred with some of his sapient friends, as to the
best mode of testifying their exultation on this
occasion. Early yesterday morning, St. Maurice
bells were set ringing, and flags vs ith appropriate
mottos were carried through the streets, followed
by a noisy rabble, who were copiously supplied
with beer and liquors by their employers, which
soon began to excite fermentation, to the great
annoyance of every one who had to pass them.
An application was made to the Mayor, to sanc-
tion a general illumination, with bonfires and
fireworks. The latter his Worship very pro-
perly refused, leaving it to the discretion of the
citizens to do as they pleased with respect to the
lighting their houses, which was complied with,
almost without an exception, for the sake of pre-
serving tranquillity ; but this did not give satis-
faction. About nine o'clock, the unsatisfied
party paraded the streets, followed by a band
of music, and an immense crowd of men, wo-
men, and children ; and such houses as, in
their opinion, did not testify sufficient zeal in
their cause, fell a sacrifice to their resentment,
without any discrimination, or consideration of
illness being the cause of the chamber being closed.
We know of two instances where.large stones were
thrown into the rooms of two extreme invalids (la-
dies). These misguided people likewise took upon
themselves to say to what hour the lights should
be continued, as several houses had their win-
dows entirely broken, when the candles began to
grow short, after burning five hours. Of these,
Mr. Blandford's school, and Mr. Lampard's, in
Southgate-street, were the first. Dr. Newbolt's
and Mr. Garbett's were nearly all flt molished.—
The Transparencies were very few and insigni-
ficant ; a great quantity of serpents were thrown
about the streets, and a poor boy was carried to
the hospital with the loss of an eye. There is a
partial Illumination this evening, but every pre-
caution has been taken to protect the peaceable
inhabitants, and it is hoped that when the effect
of the liquor so injudiciously given away has
ceased, we shall see the deluded part return
quietly to their occupations.

[FURTHER ANECI)OTES:Ii

An attempt was made to more the spirit in the
Quakers of Worcester to address his Majesty,.
when he was there, hot these people kept in their'
old track of lite; and were rathLr concerned that
'such a thing as a Royal visit had happened, to
break in upon their quietude. About a dozen of
the more curious among them got Nave to step
into the court-yard when his Majesty's coach left
the Palace, but they stood unmoved, with their
bats on their heads. The King saw that they
were Quakers, and, taking of his hat, bowed to
them. They, in return, moved their hands, and
the eldest of them said—•' Fare the well, Friend
George !"—The Ring and Queen laughed heartily
at this systematic affection.

Tfiß KING V. JAMES.

The defen►lant was hr►►►.ght op by habeas corpus,
in custody of one of the gaolers at Newga►e, iu
order to obtain his diset►arge. It appealed that
he had been examined by the Comulisiatiets in
the -bankruptcy of Cl-irke, of Leicester-fields,
touching the frau►tulent removal of a 14. x, con-
taining IWO bills ot lading, which belonged to the
estate at the bankrupt.- His answers bang an-
sari,tacto►c• ►o the Con►uiissioners, they couru►it-
ted him t►► Newgate.

The defendant bad stated that he drank brandy
until he was'suffeting under mental derangement,
and in that state he took the bills,of lading from
a cupboard and threw them into the fire.
The Court, after beating the at Vl:Penis of
Counsel pro and con. on the commitment, were,
decidedly nt opinion, that the Commissionets had
ground to be dissatisfied with the answers of the
witnessts, and therefore remanded him to New-
gate, observing, that it was still ot►w•n to hint to
obtain his liberty by milting such a fair disclosure
tos might satisfy the Counnissoners, and induce

A mail from the Leeward Islands has arrived.
By thig source letters from Margarita of the 20th
November; Triiiithei of the 14th of December,
and St. Thomas's of the 28th, have been received.
Reports had reached the former place of the tak-
ing of the important city of 'Nl:trite/6h° by the Pa-
triots ; and a letter front a British officer of rank
at Margarita, in the service of the Republic of
Venezuela, expresses considerable reliance on the
authenticity of the intormatioo; but we apprehend,

force, the rumours will he foetid at best premat ere.

is the terror of the Royalists, and the admiration
of the Patriots. Bolivar, it is said, avows with-

of New Granada. General Soublette arrived at.

Orders for the Court's going into 'Mourning,
on Thursday next, the 3d inst. fur our late Most
Grflci.ius Sovereign King GEORGE the Lulu), of
London, England, 1820-11-29

THE KING V. HUMPIIII.T.

The defendant, an Officer in the Monmouth
Militia, appeared on the motion of Mr. CAMP-
BELL, to receive judgment for an assault on a
Gentleman, named Phi!pots, also an Officer and
a Magistrate. The assault and abuse occurred
in the town of Monmouth. The Court after
hearing the affidavits, sentenced the defendant
to two months imprisonment.

LEWIS V. CLEMENT.

A rule was obtained to shew cause why there
should nothe a new writ of inquiry executed in
this case before the Sheriff. It was an action for
defamation of character, in a report of proceed-
ings in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, published
by the defendant, who suffered judgment to go
by default, and the Jury assessed 5001. damages.
Mr. A DoLputis, when he obtained the condi-
tional rule, stated several objections to the pro-
ceedings before the Learned Serjeant who pre-
sided at the inquiry.
Mr. KtuttyATT opposed the rule on this oc-
casion, but the Court, under all the circum-
stances, directed a new inquiry, on condition
that the amount of damages be paid into Court,
to await the decision of the cause. The ques-
tion of costs was reserved.
London, England, 1820-11-29

THE ICING V. HENRY HUNT.

Mr. SCAItfXTT shewed cause against a rule ob-
tained by Mr. Chitty, for a writ of Habeas Cor-
pus, calling on the gaoler of Ilchester gaol, or
the SheritFof Somerset, to shew cause why the
defendant should not have full liberty in that
prison, without being shut up in a cell ; why he
should not be allowed to see his friends, and
those friends have access to him at reasonable
hours. This application was made on the affi-
da‘it of the defendant, and Mr. Scarlett said he
had several long affidavits made by the Magis-
trates and others, which fully answered all that
Mr. Hunt alleged.
Mr. CIIITTY said, the affidavits were long, and
he was desirous of saving the Court the trouble
of reading them at that late hour (it being six
o'clock). He should therefore apply to have the
rule enlarged to next term.
Mr. SCAILLETT said, he could have no objection
to, that ; and the Court, on the express applica-
tion of the defendant's Counsel, enlarged the
rule till next term.

FATAL .AFFAIR.—About one o'clock 9n Thurs-
day afternoon, a pawnbroker residing,in Princes-
street, Westminster, went into one of the were•
rooms to look atter a parcel which was being re-
deemed, and in a feW minutes afterwards it was
found in the well, (a place through which parcels
are thrown down) but the pawnbroker not com-
ing duwu immediately, as usual, searelcwas"made
for him, and shocking to relate, he was found
prostrate upon the floor, with his skull blown to
Rooms, and the brairr entirely expelled from its
place. It was discovered that the fatal event, was
occasipned by a pistol which had been pledged
last May; and which, onfortonately,• bad been
loaded at the time, and not exariined ; and con.
stqqcnily the charge was not drawn. It Happened
to be near the spot where the other parcel was
deposited ; aid on being touched it went off;
and the ball passed through the head of the de-
ceased, while the charge of powder entered his
brain. He died instantly. There was a quantity
01 balk and powder found in the pistol case.
