My Leans—ln consequence of the discussions now
pending between this country and the United States
of North America,. the amicable, termination of
which, notwithstanding. the pacific dispniitions of his . .
R.,yal Highness the Prince Regent, is, at this mo-
ment uncertain ; and in consideration of the length of,'
iine that must necessarily elan." between tiny hostile
ineasures on the part of the United States, and any!'
• rulers which the commanders ochis. Majesty's ship'.

mrdships thereupon ; I am commanded by his
i.oyal Highness the Prince Regent to signify to yOu,i

vessels upon that station, instructions and authority
to repel any hostile aggression which may be made
!,y the ships or vt s,els of America on any part of his
‘lajest)'s naval forces; and that you require them.
the sine tune to take especial care that they com-
Ant no act of aggression against the ships or vessels

may he consistent with the hoi,cur of the British flag,
occasion dispute or misunderstanding.
It is Lis Royal Highness's pleasure that your

of a declaration of war by that country against his

understanding, which it is his Royal Highness's
most earnest wish to maintain between the two coun-

• MURDERERS DISCOViRED.—We stated some days
ar, that two men, named Rudjixi and carpenter,
neither of whom has yet attained the age of 20, were
in custody as the perpetrators of the horrid murder
ut Mr. WEBB and his female servant, near Frome.—

Carpenter has been admitted King's evidence, and
has disclosed the following particulars :—Carpenter
borrowed the gun with which he committed the mur-
der, of the father of a young woman to whom he
paid his addresses. He went with Ruddock to Mr.
Webb's house, where he asked for work—" Ah! you
rogue," said the old man, eg you don't want work,
that is only an excuse for a jug of di ink—fetch a cup,
Molly :"-4, thank you, Sir," said he, ,g but here is
• RudstcL k at the •door ;"-4, is he ?" rejoined Webb,
44 oh, then we must have a larger cup, my maid."
When the girl went out, Carpenter beckoned to his
companion, who stood at the door, and pulled the
trigger of the gun at his devoted victim: it missed
fire, but on another attempt it went off, and fatally
succeeded. The servant, rushing in at this moment,
endeairoured to escape frcm the murderers; but Rud-
dock overtook her, cut her throat, and, with the as-
sistance of Carpenter, thrust her into a v ell, where it
is supposed she lingered some hours. The villains
then proceeded to rifle the house, and afterwards hid
the gun in a neighbouring wood. Carpenter attended
the sale of Mr. Webb's effects, and with the greatest
composure bid for several articles, and oa Sunday
heard a funeral sermon preached in a chapel at
Frome, allusive to the dreadful deed. His detection
was in consequence of his boasts of possessing money.
A most daring attempt at robbery and murder was
made between five and six o'clock of the morning of
Sunday se'nnight, on the highway near Thorpe's mill,
at Market Deeping. Mr. Palmer, carrier betwixt
Boston and Stamford, was proceeding with his cart
%o Stamford, having with him as passengers, Mrs.
Parr, of Deeping, and her infant, when thref footpads
came up at the above-mentioned place, oniof whom,
whilst the other seized the horse, without parley, dis-.
charged a pistol loaded with two balls at Mr. Palmer, '
who was then sitting in the cart beside his passengers,
• and little expecting such a salute. One of the bans;
en'ered Mr. Palmer's left arm, and the woman who.
tr.s his passenger had a very narrow escape from the
other, as it passed close by her face. • Fortunately
Mr. Palmer was better prepared for defence than
these wretches anticipated, he having also a pistol,
with him, which, though wounded, he instantly pTe.,
rented at his assailants, threatening to blow the*:
brains out if they did .not immediately desist. On:
seeing the pistol in his hand, the villains thought it.
advisable to retire with all possible 'speed, without
giving him any further molestation.
Information having been received that a gang of
robbers intended attacking the Cork mid-day Mail.
coach, on its way to Dublin, a party of soldiers ware
rationed near the spot where the attack was intended
to take place, and about one o'clock on Wednesday
se'anight, a party of ten armed ruffians appeared,
when several shots were exchanged ; three of the rob-
bers were killed on the spot, one matte prisnner,.and
..ilerest escaped. A soldier was severely wounded.i

COURT OF CHANCERY, FEIRUARY P.
EATAI TE I.IMIDELL IN TIIIINArret OF LATHAbf AND,
. •
PARRY.
Mr. LzAcg. and Mr. MONTAGUE supported a peti-
tion, praying his Lordship to rescind leis order of
yesterday, by which. Mr. De Tastet was allowed to
prove a debt of £86,000 against the estate of the
Bankrupts, on delivering.up a quantity of spirits, fte.t
value £16,000. They contended that the application,
made to his Lordship, which was entireLy ex. parte, no
notice of it having been given, and the order follow-,
ing.bn it,`-were totally unprecedented.
Hj Sir. 8. Roattuy, Mr. BMX, .:and Mr. SHADWELIit
an. the other hide, contended, that the petition had
, disclosed all the I.4cts of the ci.se.

John

The Loon CitANc MUM agreed that the order was
hastily and inconsiderately issued. He therefore or-
dered that it be reversed, giving directions that Mr.
De 'l'. be examined at Guildhall, publicly, before the
Commissioners, specifying the amount of his claims,
and adducing his proofs in support of them. / His
Lordship, in justice to Mr. De T. thought it proper
to add, that his refusing to be examined in private by
the Commissioners, was far from inferring any thing
culpable on his part.
