The coachman drove to town to fetch the dours
and the lawyer who were gener.illy employed by the
Count, and to convey the melancholy tidings to the
house of the deceabed, in Queen Ann-strect Wcst,
where a crowd of people were collected dining the
whole of the day.

Dr. Chavernac, of Cerrard-street, the surgeon, and
Mr. Trickey, the sol citor, both the intimate friends
of the deceased, went post haste to Barnes•terrace.
The papers, jewels, and other effects of the Count and
Countess, were put under seal in their presence, and'
that of a Magistrate, and several respectable neigh-
bours. A Coroner's Inquest is to take place this day
!at Barnes, on the three bodies.
No cause is yet known for the atrocious act which
has deprived of life two persons who, by their talents,
know ; ,ilge, amiable manners, and powerful connec-
tions, ranke3 very high in society. The Count
D'Antraigues was a man of a coh•ssal stature and
most imposing countenance, only .53 years old, and
his Lady was aged 52.
Mr. Vansittart, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
the particular friend of the Count, was informed of
the lamentable event early yesterday ; and Lord
Sidmouth commissioned Mr. Brooks, of the Alien-
Office, to take, jointly with Count La Chatre, the
I,Commissary of his Majesty Louis XVIII. the proper,
measures to secure the papers and property of the
deceased, who had been formerly Commissary of his
Most Christian Majesty in Italy, and lately, and
his death, a secret agent and correspondent of the
Emyeror of Russia.
The Count D'Antraigues was a person who has
eminently distinguished himself in the troublessvhich
have convulsed Europe for the last two and twenty
years. 'ln 1;89 he made himself conspicuous by his
activity in favour of the Revolution ; but during the
tyranny of Robespierre he emigrated to Germany,
and was employed in the service of Russia. At
Venice, in 1797, he was arrested by Bernadotte at
the order of Bonaparte, who pretended to have dis-
covered in his portfolio, all the particulars of the plot
upon which •the,lBth of Fructidor was founded.
The Count made his escape from the Citadel of
Milan after he was confined, and was afterwards em-
ployed in the diplomatic mission of Russia, at the
Court of Dresden. In 1806 be was sent to England
with credentials from the Emperor of Russia,
who had granted him a pension, and placed great
dependance upon his services. lie brought Inters

The Union, RANttx, parted from the fleet soon
after they sailed from St. Helens.
By the George, Captain WALKER, letters were
yesterday received from Malta, to the 16th of June,
which state, that the expedition which had sailed, had
safely arrived at Majorca, where they were to be
joined by 4000 Spanish troops, and proceed direct for
the coast of Catalonia. This expedition is to be fol-
lowed by another, to consist of 3500 British, and an
equal number of Sicilian troops, to proceed from Si.
cily immediately, Arflowing the track of the former.

Early on Sunday morning, seven Frenchmen, who
were committed to the tolbooth of Edinburgh, on
suspicion of forgery, effected their escape. In the
course of the morning, one of them was retaken.
Another of the men hurt by the blowing up of the
powder mill near Roslin, is since dead.
Felling colliery 'has been explored as far as the
crane, at the head of the inclined plane; and the bo-
dies of 35 of the sufferers have been found.

LYCEUM 'rnzaTnr.—An Opera in three acts, was
produced last night, under the title of Rich and Poor,
altered, as expressed in the Play Bills, fo ni Mr.
Lawn's play of the East Indian, which was brought
out at Drury•lane Theatre, a few years since. In the
plot there was no feature of novelty. A rich uncle
arrives from die East Ipclies, and passes himself for a
poor man ; he applies fo his nephew, a rich dissipa-
ted man of fashion, for succour and is refused ; he
then applies to his niece, a poor widow, who is dis-
tressed, to relieve him. He then tells her that he only
did it to try her generosity, and informs her of his real
afineni circumstances; she in return reconciles him
to her brother, from whom he had just experienced
the utmost contumelf. There is also an under-plot,
which was very interesting ; his daughter who /led
from India with her lover, he finds under the prdtec-
tion of his niece. The characters were admirably
sustained by the several performers, especially by
Fasvcrrv, who was the rich East Indian, and by Miss
KELLY, who was the daughter. KNIGHT, in a drunken
scene, was very diverting. Mrs. &mow acquit-
ted herself uncommonly well in the character of a
talkative old Maid- The Pieee was given out for a
second representation with long and loud plaudits,
and we have no doubt, will prove a favounte with
the tows.

taken his papers in hisliat, and proceeded down the '
staircase from his bed-room, his lady, who went be-
fore, being at the door waiting, and calling for the
servant to open the carriage. Lorenzo, at that mo-
ment, took from the bed of his master a pistol and a
most superb Turkish poniard, which the Count
, D'Antraigues had brought with him from Constan-
tinople. He discharged the pistol at his master at
six paces distance on the staircase, and missed him,
the ball passing between the Count and the Countess.
The murderer seeing the ball had not taken effect,
'took to the poniard, and stabbed his master in the
shoulder. Though the blow was mortal, the Count
had still stiro;th cnch to walk up to his room.—
The servant then ran to the Countess, who was shriek-
ing, and plunged in the most furious manner the
poniard into her breast. She fell and died- instanly,
without any groans, saying only, Lorenzo, Lorenzu!
It appears that the Count died as soon as be had
re•entered his room, from_ an effusion of the blood in
his chest. The murderer, bewildered and frantic,
alter his ferocious tired, came to the room where his
master was lying, and seizing on another of the four
pistols which the Count had constantly for his protec-
tion at his bedside with the poniaid, tinder a presen-
timent that one day or another his life would be at-
tempted, discharged the contents in his mouth, and
shattered h s head in the most dreadful manner. He
died on the spot, and fell by the side cf lis master.
The alarm was given by'the coachman, w:.O was
standing at the door, and the other servants. Two
professional men came instantly, but no assistance
could avail. The home was besmeared with blood,
and presented a most shocking spectacle, the three
corpses being extended in such a small space.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
STAR OFFICE, THREE O'CIACt,
This day the Coroner's Inquest metaled at the
Public-house on Barnes Common, nearly opposite
the house where the Count and Countess D'Am.
TRAIGUES lived. The Jury, after inspecting the'imV
gled bodies as they lay on the floor, and which exhi.

bited a horrible spectacle, returned to the public-houses
when, after examining the witnesses, whose evidence
agreed in every particular with the above detaOss
and deliberating a few minutes, they returned a ver-
dict of Felo de se against the atrocious murderer and
suicide. His body will of cothse be buried in a cross
r under tlte directions of the Coroner.

The verdict nn the bodies of the Count and Coun-
tess, declared, that they fell by the murderous blow
of an Italian Assassin, named Lorento Skill.
An immense crowd was collected At Barnes to
♦iew the horrid spectacle.

conflict was sanguinary. Our loss *as throe kille4 .

attack on this privateer, u she was destined for the

on the mind of those who have seen this prize. The
reward is miserably disproportioned to the danger in-
curred and the gallantry displayed in these expedi- •
tions. The ezpences attending the condemnation of
such a vessel would amount to at least as much u
the value : no claim, therefore, will probably be
made ; and the head-money for the captured =s-
