The Report of the Select Committee, appoin,ed to
examine into the Abuses of East India Patr ,nage,
has now been printed. It discloses a great namber
of transactions relative to East India Appointments,
from which it appears, that in many instances they
have been granted as favours, or as rewards, to indi-
viduals who have been in the uniform praztice of
selling them. We shall lay an extract bef•te our
Readers as soon as we can make room for it in our
columns.

We discharge a most painful ditty to our Readers,
in recording the very dreadful transaction which has
involved the family of Sir STEIVNLEY SHUCKIWRGII,
Bart. of Upper Shuckburgh, in the County of War-
wick, and the Itruily of Lieutenant SHARPE, of tl-.e
Pedf•:rd Militia, in the deepest distress. Lieutenant
having paid his addresses to Miss Snueg-
BI'li;;11, which Were disapproved by the family,
formed it he should be disappointed in obtaining the
object of his affections), the horrid determination of
patting a peti d to his owe, and her existence, which
he carried into effect on Sunday morning last, in the
plar.tat;ons of Slmckinirgli Park. They wcm over-
:ward to earnest discoisrse by the butler, as if Lieu-
tenant SHAUN.: was persuading her to elope with him ;
and,as Miss SIII;rEBURGH uttered the words No,no,no!
he immediately heard the report of a pktol, which,
in a few seconds, was succeeded by another, and they
were instantly lifeless corses ! I—Al!er a most deli-
berate investigation of all the circumstances of this
most affecting and awful event, before .Torrir Tows,
Esq. and a respectable Jury, and the Rev. Mr. Blum-
, FIELD, a Magit ateof the County, a verdict of /41,76/(y
was given respecting Lienttn in- SHARPE, and. that
Miss SHUCKBURGH died by his hand. Lieutenant
SHARPR had been occasionally for some weeks pre-
ceding in a state of mental derangement, and in
confinement.

mien of announcing this deter-
ls, and calling upon them to fol-
he was descending the great
parade, Major-General Adler-
1, Colonel Jagerhorn, and some
meet him, as if through compli-
irrounded him closely, General
Adlercreutz addressed him, and said, that as all pos-
sible means had been tried ir. vain to induce him to
adopt Councils consistent with the exigencies of the
times, it became necessary to have recourse to re-
sri aint. The King, surprised, but no[. deprived of
his usual courage, said, cooly, What do you mean ?
am I arrested ? ' All around him answered, eg Yes."
The King, upon this, drew his sword, and attempted
to run Adlercreutz through the body, but was pre-
vented ; oue of the conspirators coming behind seized
his Majesty round the body, while the others rushed
in on every side, and overpowered and disarmed him.
In effecting this, however, the foremost, Count Snoil-
sky received a wound in his hand from his Majesty's
sword. The King, though overwhelmed by force,
still preserved the firmness of his character unaltered,
declaring, that it was in vain to attempt to controul
him by violence, and that his sentiments and principles
would ever remain the same. In the night, his Ma-
jesty was conveyed to the Castle of Drottningholm,
when his Majesty wrote on the next day (14th) to his
Queen. The Duke of Sudermania has declared that
he wishes to remain on friendly terms with Great
Britain."

SWEDEN.
The States of Sweden, by the decree of the Regent,
are to meet at Stockholm on the Ist of May. The
following is the latest and most authentic account of
the late Revolution :
• " STOCKHOLM, MARCH 17.
" On the 9th, the King being informed of the in-
surrection and of the advance of the insurgents under
Colonel Adlersparre, dispatched a courier to the wes-
tern army, with orders to remove Baron Cederstrom
from the Command in Chief, and Adlersparre from
his Command under that Officer. This courier, how.
ever, was prevented from proceeding, by Major-Ge.
neral Adlercreutz, and the King was told that al'
was quiet. His Majesty, in a day or two after, dis
covered that this report was fallacious, and deretmin
el immediately to proceed against the insurgents it
person, at the head of his Guards.
" On the lath, in the morning, his 'Majesty left hi
apartments, to go down to the parade in front of the
palace, with the intention of announcing this deter
minatioft twthe Guards, and calling upon them to fol
low him,. But, while he was descending the grea
staircase iowards the parade, Major-General Adler
creutz, ColUnel Milan, Colonel Jagerhorn, and som
others, advanced to meet him, as if through compli
=rent ; and having surrounded him closely, Genera
