OCCUPATION OF KING FERDINAND VII.

The occupations of King Ferdinand during his
captivity in France were alluded to by Mr.Wititbread
in Parliament. Of a sermon preached by Don Blaz
Ostolora, Chaplain Aliiigt of his Catholic Majesty,
and his Confessor, the following is an eicr,Ftt vlOO4
may illustrate this subject : • -- -
The Confessor begins by giving a pietism of the life
of the King at Valency :
4, The King," says be, II rose et 8 o'clock, heard
mass, breakfasted, made afterwards a party at
bil-
liards, entered hii closet to read his letters, or some
portion of holy writ, erbroidecci et the Tambour :Mew
o'clock, at which time he took a short airing in a
carriagehe dined o* his returnmade a short prayer,
received his brothers, or those who were adisitted.to
pay their court to him) supped, and before go:1i:
bed recited, with all his „Household, the Li
which he toned himself.'

he was forced to endure, en:Aged, alt means of sit•
auction to draw the infantithm his holy occupations:
He brought a troop of female dancers from Parisi,
and even his. own wife, to endeavour to charm ;bp;
King; but I perceived 4y, fertilise Ape (adds the C
fessor, whose .words we translate literally), 'Ott 'libel
bosoms of these women, indecently exposed, were be-
ginning to heve a dangerous corers on she Prinee.who
was ready to fall.into the seventh deadly sin. I ad-
monished him in time, and like the slave of Potiphar,
Don Ferdinand escaped these.oew Sirens.
44 The King was above all things incensed at the
poverty of the chief altar of the oafish of Valency;
and at their being is the Chateau a playhouse,
while there was neither a chart nor an oratory—
while the people were Inzurious in their furniture and
feasts, and miserable in the decoration of their tem-
ples. The King embroidered himself A beautiful robe
of white silk, with gold 'pallets an 4, gold fringe, for
the Virgin. He had raised a superb altar, gilt; and
' he sometimes served himself the Mass at the feet of
II the Queen of the Angels. The Queen of the Angels
was most sensible of these royal attentions,. and mani-
fested to him her content by many signs. It hap-
pened in particular, that one night an Ecclesiastic of
the district being overcome with sleet; in the church,
thsPitzis appeared to him as comfy out of the altar—she
advanced towards the Ecclesiastic, Made several turns
round him, to display the elegance of her toilette ;
and said to him, sighing, that her son receive 4 the
vows of the King in recompence of the fine :abet*
be had given her; that the Spantsh;Princes wonld sat,
remain long without being delivered.; and thatthe
must form go Order ci the Holy sacrament, Wth:
which all the chevaliers should be acineciforhis defense.'

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

WIIS v. FORTUNE.

The parties in this action were the Quarter Master
of the Tower Hamlet Militia, and the Captain of a
Company in the same Regiment. The present action
was to recover al 1. Ios. for goods sold and delivered
by the plaintiff to Lthe defendant. The goods were
buttons, trimmings, and other articles of dress, sup-
plied by the plaintiff, es Quarter Master, to the de-
fendant, for the use of the privates of his company.
In support of the plaintiff's claims, Captain Fortune's
Pay.serjeant was examined, who stated, that he had
gone over the account with Captain Fortune, who ac-
knowledged being indebted to the plaintiff Al 9 and a
fraction, and promised to pay that sum so soon as
be should receive remittances from America, which
he was daily expecting. The remaining articles
making np the al 1. 10s. were ordered by Lieutenant
Mills. These circumstances were proved, and the
Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.

A duel was fought on Friday morning in Kensing-
ton Gardens, between Captain MATHS and a Mr.
Fixrciien. A dispute respecting a female led to
