PARDONoF 711E1311(1:SW4 N MEIICHANT FONK.

FRANICFORT, AUGUST 14.—We have. just received
from Berlin an authentic account, dated the 10th inst.
transmitting a copy of the rescript of the King of Prus-
sia to the Minister of Justice; Von Kircheisen, respect-
ing the cause of Fonk, as also a copy of a letter inclo-
sing it to the King's Attorney-General at Cologne.—
The documents are as follow
" I have had the criminal cause of Fon'r carefully laid
before me, and I have pronounced this judgment:
" Ist. That the fact of the murder of William Conen,
whose body was found in the Rhine. near Cr clad, on the
19th September, 1816, is not indubitably established.
"2d. That the retractation of the former evidence given
by the cooper Hamacher, which contained his own im-
peachment, and that of the merchant Fonk, Tests upon
much better grounds than his original confession.
" 3d. That the alibi of the merchant Fonk has been
strictly investigated.
" I cannot, therefore, find either Fonk or Hamacher
guilty; and consequently I cannot conErm the sentence
of the Court, nor adjudge a smaller punishment. Hence
follows the release of the accused, for which 'they have
themselves petitioned ; and I charge you to issue the
necessary orders accordingly, without delay. After the
extra(adinaty attention which has been bestowed upon
even the minutest circumstances in the investigation of
this cause, it can hardly be supposed probable that any
well-grounded evidence can hereafter arise either against
Funk or Hamacher to war ran: a new trial. If, however,
this should come to pass, whether sooner or later, the
present acquittal shall not prevent a further investiga-
tion ; but the same shall not take place until after
having been specialle applied for and approved of With
respect to cost, I abstain from giving any decision at
present, and 1 return you all the enclosures to your te-
nor is for the last three months past.

I). DELVEAU respectfully solicits the attention of the
Nobility and Gentry to hio newly-invented Double Move-
meal Harp, for which -he has obtained his Majesty's
Patent, and the unqualified approbation of Mr. BuctrsA
and other eminent rrutessors. Independent of the &ore
splendid and elegant appearance of this Harp, the
sound (principally the bass) is.moie powerful, and the
strings (except the very small one), warranted not to
break. J. D. has likewise discovered a method of
adding, at a .muderam expense, the Double :dove-
meta to any Single-action 11.trps.!--To be sees at the
