'inter* afternoon the Itrime's CnAatoirit or
Wastes arrived at Cranbourn Lodge to dinner, front
Wentouth, attended by her full suite. This morning
her Royal Highness Came to the Castle, to pay her
respects to the Queme and the Patscasser.
The Royal Family attended divine service to-day
in the Castle.
The Rev. Sir CHARLES RICH, Ban. when receiving
his rents last week at Beenham, Berks, and neigh-
bouring parishes, voluntarily deducted 25 per cent.
from his tenants, on account of the alteration in the
prices of corn.
A dreadful eruption burst forth from the Volcano
of Albay, in Manilla, on the Ist of February List,
which lasted for ten days, and destroyed five populous
towns in the province of Cumarines, and the principal
part of that of Allay-1200 persons were killed and
ma!" more dreadfully wounded or burnt.
The West-India convoy, under the SWITTSURZ,
ARAXII, &c. has been detained, and buffeted about
another week by the violent MAWDIS which have pre-
vailed, and still remain in the Channel. The fleet is
necessarily much dispersed, and although much da-
mage has been done to some of the ships, on the whole
it's less than could be expected. Some few ships are
at Portsmouth, a few at Dartmouth and Plymouth,
but the greater part are anchored at Falmouth, with
the men of war. This delay is very detrimental to
passengers, and those persons on board the different
ships who are unused to the sea. The Fervent, Cap.
taro HOTHAM, has orders to collect such ships of the
convoy as are at Portsmouth, and protect thews*
Falmouth, calling at-the other ports as she goes down.
She afterwards goes oa to the Cork station, where she
will remain until further orders.
The ARGO, Captain FOTHERGILL, and Aawime,
Capt. GODFREY, arrived at Portsmouth on Wecln.,sdiy
from Jamaica, after a boisterous passage. They sailed
from Negril Bay, on the Slit of October, with a
convoy of about 14 sail of merchant vessels, the Cox.
Tarr, Captain RarraaT, also in company. On the
28th of November, when on the Banks of Newfound-
land, the fleet was separated in a violent gale, and
pan of the convoy only arrived with the ARGO
and ARACHN/L The CONTEST came in this afternoon,
but some of the ships are still at sea, or put into the
Western ports. The Ana° brought home about
500,000 dollars on account of the merchants. She
has re-captured two Spanish merchantmen, which had
been taken by a Carthegenian privateer—that part of
South America being engaged in active hostilities
against the mother country since it shook off its allee
glance. Captain CRAMER of the IsTza, being senior
naval officer at Jamaica, was left in command
the Island. The men of war there when the Anoo
sailed, were the IsTait, Captain CRAMER; NORTIE
STAR, Captain Coe. The ARGO having brought a
considerable number of American prisoners, she will
proceed with them to Plymouth, when she can get
down the channel. The West India Islands are at
present not in a very healthy state.
By the way of Halifax, we are informed, that our
force in the Penobscot has not been visited by the
enemy, notwithstanding they threatened to do so.
In order to render the position more tenable, Castine
has been insulated by a kind of trench, cut over the
narrow neck which divides it from the main land,
andintir this trench, the water of the river-has been

At the last Bombay Sessions, Captain A. Camp-
bell, Lieut. E. Robinson and Ensign E. Marion. of
the 74th regiment, were arraigned for the murder of
Lieut. L Russell, of the same corps, who was shot
thrOugh the head in a duel by Captain Campbell.
Lieut. Robinson was second to the prisoner ; and '
Ensign Mariott to the deceased. The Jury returned
a verdict of Manslaughter, against Capt. Campbell,
whom they recommended to the mercy of the Court.
The Judge fined him one rupee, and he was dis-
charged.
CHATIAIIBRIAND'S Political Rylectiotis."---Our
Readers will require no incitement to peruse a work
from the pen of the Author of ,6 The Beanies of Cbrs,.
tidally." The aim of the writer is to prove that the
tranquillity and the happiness of France depend on
the institutions which she owes to the wisest of Sove-
reigns—that all Frenchmen, whatever have bee%
whatever may now be theiropinions, equally find their
advantage in these institutions, in which is happily
combined all that could possibly be retained of the
ancient monarchy, with all which the change of men,
of times and manners, obliges them to receive.

JOANNA SOUTHCO2T and Dr.TOZER.

JOANNA SOtTHCOTT.—The following Bulletin was
on Saturday circulated among the miserable prose-
lytes of this infatuated old woman : Mrs. Southcott

the mind wandering, with other symptoms, indicating
approaching dissolution : her Believers suppose that
her prophecy of being in a trance will be fulfilled,

PAIIVINTOZER, Joanna's HO Priest, has felt it ne-
ccsary to present himselt to the Public in a new cha
racer, not as preacher, but a Man Otto writer, of
which the following is an extract : I beg leave to
answer the enquiry made by several friends, whether
I intend to confirm the declaration I made a few days
ago. 4 that if Mrs. Senithcott was not delivered of a
son before Christmas Day, I would on that day re-
nounce my faith in her mission ?' I do not feel the
least inclination to evade the question—lf the child be
not born so soon as I, in my hasty judgment, con-
cluded it would be, that does not alter the fact, but
will hereafter most unequivocally establish it as an
event that none but the LORD could foretell, and by
his own creative power fulfill. It is well known to
the Believers, that I was ordered in August last to
shut up my Chapel; and, until I have further orders
to re-open it, I should be guilty of disobedience were
Iso to do." The Doctor then requests, that no friend
will come to his house or Chapel on Chrismas-Day.

Wednesday last, in the trim. con. action, RODD
LATHWATE, the damages were assessed in the Sheriff's
Court at MI II s. 9d. The plaintiff is a corn-mer-
chant, and the defendant a hackney-coschtean.
THE PARKS. —Although the weather was not fa•
irourable to pedestrian excursions yesterday, Hyde.
Park exhibited a tolerable muster of Beaux and Bel/a,
among whom we remarked many persons of distinc-
tion. The rids and drive were unusually crowded
tvith equipage of dash, and equestrians of note. Among
others distinguishable in the gay throng' were the
Marquis of Stafford, Lord Grey, Sir Charles Dint
and Lady, Countess Cowper, Mr. W. W. Pole, Mr.
C. Long, Mr. G. Rose, &c.

GIALDIIAL.4..—The following singular ease was
twice investigated, last week, by the Sitting Magis.
trate: Mr. H. Jackson, of the house of Jackson and
Co. of Friday-street, preferred the following charges
against a foreigner :—ln April, 1813. he was intro-
duced to Mr. J. by a broker, for the purpose of ob-
taining goods. After a short acquaintance.he selected
an assortment. consistiog chiefly of linens, for which
be proposed to pass a bill in payment;, the goods,
however, were to remain in the warehouse until the
bill was taken up. , Soon after this transude!), he
again caged at the erarehouse, and made a selection
of some particular articles, which waft sent by request
to his lodgings in Pimlico. This practice be sepeated
at different times, usually selecting soma of the mere
valuable goods, which he stated were Eat particular
purpose ." On one occasion,. be was exceeilingly.l
nice in looking out a few articles, which, be nisitti,bal
wanted to present to his sister, who on thepoisia ,
of being married. These consisted chiefig of OM finest
Irish linens, and other prime articles, 44,stfait4 tp thg
use of a Lady, about to become the bead of a fa-'mily." About a month after the.acqttaintauce com-
menced, he called in a hurry at the warebotre, and
represented himself to be in rather an awkward predi-
cament, for the want of some change, which he was
obliged to pay to a person 44 who was leaving town
that night in the mail-coach ;" stating, at the same
time. that the distance from his lodgings obliged hint
to trespass on Mr. Jackson on this occasion. Mr. J.
having no reason to doubt the tale, advanced him
420. His next appearante was in, the forenoon cat
the day upon which his bill, for the first selection. of
goods, became due. On this occasion. he requested,
that the bill might not be preseottd. at Pinalice, but
held over, until he returned from 'Change. when be
would take. it up. The evening, however,. had nearly
elapsed, and the suspicion of Mr. S. being at length
excited, be repaired• to the lodg of the p_r*nwr,
whom he found, to his surprisejoad tbat evetnogleft.,
taking with him a few articlesstfappagel,an4a beet
concerning a quantity of dooMpora4. The goods
brought tram time to time were Hated. to. bat, =nog
immediately alto they were brpugba, carried away
from thence by the prisoner. Tly tiftyinstPOCe of
his having been observed with the quhloons, indu.cetl
Er. S. to suspect he was going abrtpult arid, he apr.

his search, but ip vain.; he at length, hOwevcr, disco.
vered that he had taken hii passage for Lisben. 11.
Lisbon, and subsequently to Cache, the prisoner was
traced, by the correspondents of Mr. Jackson. At
the former place he was taken, but for.want of suf .
cient authority could not be deraiued: All trace was
HOW lost, and it -was not until tee' day of the
ascetic, last year.- from Burlington House, that he
was again tecognized•in this country, when one of his
creditors, observing him in the crowd, made up to
him, when the former, dreading a further discovery
of his person. entreated op the part of the creditor.:
the acceptance of a valuable gold watch. With this.
offer the creditor readily complied, and the prisoner
once more escaped. In the course of hat week, bow"
ever, Mr. J. receiving information of his being in
London, had him apprehended ; when Mr. Alder-I
man C. SMITH said, however he might lament the,
treatment of Mr. J. he could not notice the prisoner's
conduct in a criminal point of view. He, however,
remanded him, to see if. any other charges were
brought against him. On Saturday be was again
brought up, when no person appearing against him,
be was discharged; but was immediately arrested on
' 'I ewe process._ _

J:Green, J• Beres, and H. Garner, were charged by
E. Taylor, of Bow-lane, with robbing him of a quan-
tity of skins of various. descriptions. I. Pigee was
also charged as being, the receive's, sf •tht said stolen
goods. Tr appeared theta: um one of the prisoners,
had bees in the. employnsaiit othir. Taylor for three
years ; but the latter, having some intimaAta of his
' ' vsir • •

dishonesty, charged hi'm VON the fat, which, atter
some evasions, he confessed ; at the same time imp',
eating Brees and Garner. Upon thediscovery bein •
made, the prisoners were taken into custody. Thy
three men then confessed to an officer that the goods
'were invariably brought to the house of Pigee,
Alten-street, Clerkenwell, who bought them ; ani
there a lame basket, and two other parcels, were
found, the property of Mr. Taylor The prisoners

. _
were remanded.
Eli%. Armston was charged by Mrs Legg, of Salis-
bury-square, with having stolen £6 9s. 6d. and -a
gold ring, from a draWer in the room of the proiccu-
trix. The prisoner had lodged with the prosecutrix,
and, taking advantage of her absence from 'home,
committed the robbery ; soon after which she escaped,
taking with •her the key of the room. She was re-
manded.
Bow-s rit EFS. —On Saturday Mary Ann Taylor was
charged by Mr. White, at the corner of Newcastle-
street, lia.tn-draper, with going into his shop under
pretence of order Mg goods, to the amount of rES 2s.
to be sent to the Rev. Mr. Rigby, No: 15, Lincoln's
Inn-fields. Mr. White, however, having some sus-
picion, followed her to Mr. Lacy's, hosier, the cor-
ner of Clements-Inn, and waited until she came out,
and still watched her to Little Queen street, where
he charged her with stealing from his shop. She re-
plied, she had not; then, said he, if not from me,
you have stolen something from Mr. Lacy's, and con-
veyed her to his house ; on searching her three pair of
silk hose were found upon her, which Mr. Lacy
swore to, and she was fully committed. The pri-
' soner was elegantly dressed, and had all the appear-
ance of a woman of fashion. She represented her-
self as the wife of an Officer in his Majesty's service,
now oti duty abroad ; and that, wishing to Return to
Ireland, induced her to do what she had done.
A dealer in fish, living in George-yard, Drury-
lane, charged his son, not ten years of age, with
robbing him of money, and every portable article he
could lay his hands on; the last article he purloined
was an umbrella. Mr. BIRNIE examined him as to
what he had done with the articles, and particularly
the umbrella, hut to no effect. He then recom-
mended to his father to endeavour to get him inw-the
Philanthr, plc Institution, and if he could not suc-
csed, to bring him forward again on Tuesday next.
A milkman was fined 10s. and 3s. costs, for wheel-
ing a barrow on the pavement.
A female, advanced in pregnancy, who sail she
had four small children, was charged with stealing
tour pounds of beef, the properly of Mr. Garrison,
butcher, of. Lumber-court, who was about to de-
cline prosecuting her ; but the Officer who appro..
'tended her produced a loin of pork and part of a
neck of mutton, from which it was concluded that'
ihe was in the habit of such practices ; and several
butchers stated that they had been repeatedly robbed a
when the prisoner was committed.
A female, servant to a tradesman in Long-acre,
was charged with robbing her master of some silver
spoons; but the prosecutor humanely declined pro-
eeetling with the charge. The Magistrate then gave
her a proper admonition, and• hoped it would be a
Warning to her, which sht felt keenly, fell into an ap.
earently lifeless state, was carried out, and it was a
Considerable time before she could be recovered.
John Lowlier, a baker, of Hinde-street, Manche'.
Or-square, was convicted in the penalty of r¢3 for
having a number of loaves found in his shop deficient
itt weight.
W. Uarlorevood, coachman to General Grants was
charged- with biting ne part ef - the niatreeoT Mr. Bird,i
the landlord of the Kiug's- Arms public-house, id
Duke-street. Grosvenor-square, who stated, that the
game of dominoes was being played at his house on
Friday evening, when the prisoner interfered, and
said, the prosecutor ought to he informed against,
for, suffering such a game ; in consequeace of which
the prosecutor insisted, on his leaving the house, which
he resisted, seized the proiecutor's pose in his mouth,
and. notwithstanding his cries, completely bit the
loWer part of it off. He was ordered to find bail.
J. "nght, who was apprehended at Birmingham
on suspicion of being the man who was wounded by
the butler in attempting, to rob the house of Miss Bro-
derick, in Grosvenor-place, was placed at the bar;
when W. Morley, the butler, stated, that about five
o'clock on the morning of the 17th ult., he was awoke
by a noise ; and, suspecting there were thieves in the
house, he loaded a pistol strongly with small shot ;
he then saw a man approach him with a light, and
while he was stooping down to examine a clock, he
took a direct aim at him, and had no doubt he wound-
ed him: The man immediately retreated towards
the door, when his light went out. From the view
be hail previously to tiring, he had no doubt the pri-
soner was the man. On searching the house, several
articles were found to have been removed from their
places, and locks broken ; and a hat and shoe were
found in the hall, close to the spot where the man was
shot.—Jane Dunkley proved that she lit.the prisoner
into his lodgings, *it the White Horse, in Little Bri-
tain, about six o'clock on the morning stated, when
he was without a hat, and, from the mode of his
going up sfairs, she conceives he was without shoes ;
