The robbery, as it is called, ofiord OXFORD, still
occupies public attention. It cannot be doubted—
indeed it ;s avowed that he w.rs deprived of the papers
taken from him by an order of the Government. The
f sct is briefly this —the French Government knew
that certain diviffected military men were carrying
on a c, rrespondence with the King of Naples (Mu.
!LAT) to whom they I; id off...red their services; and
in s me 1% ay or other they had learnt that his Lord-
slop ha.; been requested to carry letters from some of
then) to Italy. To 2,..tt at their names, it was only
necessary that Government shnold possess themselves
of the.,e letters. When Lord OXFORD was stopped,
he asked the persons in what character they acted,
whether as robbers 6r as officers of the police In the
mean time he and his servants had drawn their pistcls.
He was informed by the ci,ict, that tl,ey acted by
order of the police. The order was shewn. His
1.,-.4dship was informed that be had violated the laws
of France in carrying private letters, which by law
were required to go through the regular post-office,
Jrr. the rah, of the revalue. These letters were all that
'vete taken from Lord OXFORD; all his own private
pap rs b:ing left la his possession. On applying to
the Duke of WZLLINGTON, and stating the circum-
stances; he was informed that this was a case in which
the '..\linister could not interfere, as it would have the
weer:ince of a wish to protect Inn:ling.

A Gentleman belonging to one of the British ships
of war which has been at Elba, who is just arrived
in Town, mentions, that he was accosted• by BONA-
) a_tar, iikhen in the whp, iktnttretl into a very
familiar convtrution with him on various topics ;

and so far from exhibiting the hauteur as he had for•
merly shewn, he was, on the contrary, courteously
affable and polite. When any genteel person passes
him, whose looks indicate a wish to fall into conver-
sation, BONAPARTE stops and begins the conversation
himself; but if they, on the contrary, spew any dis-
position to pass on, he makes no attempt to bring on
conversation, but walks past also in silence. The
Gentleman further informs, that BONAPARTE, though
extremely corpulent at present, mounts and rides his
horse with astonishing agility and velocity ; that he
attends the various balls and dances, conversing most
freely with the ladies, enquiring the number of whom
are married, their family, and who are single ? In
short, the " little man," as he is called in Paris, ap-
pears to be greatly tamed by his confinement in Elba
cage.

WINDSOR, DEC. 7.—Monday, General CART WRIGHT
came into waiting as Equerry to the KING. This
morning the Duke of KENT arrived at the Castle
from Kensington Palace, on a visit to the QuitEN.—
Sir BRENT SPENCER went out of waiting to-day, as

Equerry to the KING, and left here for London. The
Princess CuAnt.oT re of WALES did not arrive yes-

.....____ _ ..... _ _
terday at Cranbourn Lodge, as was expected. A new
Minor Canon of St. George's Chapel will be elected
on the 9th of January, when a Chapter will be held
for that purpose. I'he contest for the place is ex-
pected to be between the Ray. CHARLES L.:MAUMEE,
Curate and Lecturer of llow, and the Rev. Mr.
BECKWITH, of St. Paul's Cathedral.
The PRINCE RroENT, we hear, is expected in town
on Monday next.
The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND are
expected is England in about a month. Horses are
purchasing for their Royal Highnesses, and other
preparations are making for them, and his R iyal
Highness's house at Kew is also preplrins for their
reception.

The Earl of AURAN leaves Brighton on Saturday
for Bognor Rocks. His Lordship and family .arc
expected in town on the 15► h instant for the season.
The Proclamation of Prince REPNI, wl!ich bears
date the 31st of October, but was not publi,hcd till
the Bth At November, was known at Vienna on the
17th, and was formally disavowed on the 19th of
November. It is known that this disavow:.l did ac-

:ually take place in consequence of a Note ptesented

by Lord CasmußEActi. -
The Camhrian has arrived at Liverpool from
Buenos Ayres, and has brought us aduices to thz. 10th
of September. The Grace, the Anne, and the Ro-
bertson, sailed on the 3d, but have not reached Eng-
land. The polit;cal news is very scanty. Accounts
have been received from Chili, and the boudi of

feu ndship between the Eastern amt Western Coluities
were becoming nitre close and secure. 'roe inde-
pendent partizans were wholly masters of the shores
of the river Plate, and notwithstanding the menaces
from Spain, no lone had appeared to subdue the
spirit, or interfere with the authority fl th. 2 natives.

Letters from Rome state that the busy Dr. MILNER
has totally failed in his representations to his Holi-
ness the POPE against the letter of QUARANTOTTI.
The PoPe has signified his determination to acquiesce
in such measure, with respect to the Veto, as snail be
judged necessary by the Engiish Government in the
nomination of Catholic Bishops; so that we trust this
important subject will be put at rest. We learn that
the Holy College begin to feel that they have gone
too far. II:: Priests who preached in the churches
were, in the outset, s vehenient in their intolerance
as to excite animosities and vengeance am:•rg the
lower orders of the peryle, insomuch that the Holy
Inquisition itself has been forced to set bounds to its
apostolic. zeal.
Yesterday the Rev. Mr. MANUAL, of St. Ninian's,
near Stirling, was elected, by a large majority, to be
the Pastor of the Sects Church, London Wall, in the
room of the Lye Rev. Dr. Young, deceased. The
candidates and rates were as follows :—For Mr. Ma-
natal 1! f!—for ,!r. Rennie, of Baia 537-for Mr.
of 1-lex::n► tai•—tor Mr. Burns, Lackwinhek _'—
.Ind for Mr. Fraser, of Fort George I.—A tier it had
been decided in the faVour of Mr. Manual, the Rev.
Dr. Nu who was in the Chair, said, that as all
parties were to be satisfied with the result, they could
prove it by all the warts on either side giving Mr.
Manual an unanimous call by holding up their hands,
which was done.
Yesterday the National Society for the Education
of the Poor in the Principles of the Established
Church held their monthly meeting, at which were
present the A licitnistioe of CANTERBURY, the lIIMIOP
of LoNDUN, the SPEAKER of the. House: of COBIBIONS,
&c. &c. Some fresh Schcols were united to the So.
ciety, and several grants of matey (one to the ameirot
of £300) were made towards the establishment and
extension of oilier Schools. At the same meeting the
half-yearly Examination of the Children at the Ohm al
Schril, Baldwin's Gardens, was fixed for to-morrow
the Ihh instant, at one o'clock. .
We ment oiled, on Someday, the introdiictiene of
machinery into the Printing Art, to perform that part
of the work which has hitherto been done by the la-
bour of the Pressmen, at the common Printing-press.
The improvement has since been noticed by some of
our contemporaries, but very inaccurat.ly—i-as it

chanical agency, instead of the labour of press.
men, as hitherto. To us it appears a little strange
that third parties should be disputing about a point
on which the inventors themselves have had no dis-
pute. On the contrary, they have uniformly acted
towards each other with great liberality, composing,
with frankness, their respective inventions, so far as
was necessary to ascertain whether they interfered
with each other.

FAVLKNIK, tle fatuous Dublin journalist, was no.

The 28th Regiment, and l st battalions of 52,1, 71st,
79th, and 91st Regiments, have received orders to
hold themselves in readiness to join the army in
America.

The first division of the 59th regiment of Foot has
marched into Dublin, the remaining divisions having
halted on their route in consequence of the hari.-cks
being occupied by some of the garrison battalions,
now ordered to be reduced.

Saturday, the detachments from the 71st and 79th
regiments sailed from Greenock for Ireland, to join
rlieir first battalions in that kingdom.
The transport Venus arrived at Aberdeen on Mon-
day sennight, for the reception of the small remain-
ing part of the 2d battalion of the 12d regiment,
which, on the disbanding that corps, were turned over
to the Ist battalion. The troops, under Lieutenant
ROBINSON, embarked on Saturday for Portsmouth,

Lieutenant-General Sir Gnomes Pnevpsv, who is at

subaltern officer in the 7th,orßoyal Fusileers, in 1786.
The dept of the 20th Light Dragoons will arrive
at Radipole Barracks, (to be stationed there) in the
course of this week.

Letters were yesterd sy received from Teneriffe to
the t24th October. The Canary Islands were in cons-
plete subjection to the Spanish Authorities, and it
seems to be the only situation in a western direction
where the dependencies of that Power are not either
in a state of open rebellion or secret conspiracy.
A Deputation waited on the 10111) MA TPA on Mon-
day last with a Requisition numerously signed by
the Livery for a Common Hall, to consider the pro-
priety ef rtitiming Pat liament against the conlinit-
:ince or renewal of the Property Tax. His Lordship
has appointed a Hall to be held for that purpose on
Tuesday next.

Mr. DUNNE, the defendant in the trim. can. came,
tried in the Conn of King's Bench on Monday last,
has given notice of moving for a new trial next Terrri,
on account of the absence of two material witnesses.

The Lawyers must be somewhat disappointed by
the verdict in the case of KNIGHT O. Lord MIDDLE-
•roN. Had it been established, that a husband might
have two verdicts upon the tame wife, where could a
lirnit have been found for actions for Crux. Con. ?

distinguislled column has already

every gust of wind threatens its entire destruction.

TIl WESTMINSTER PLAY.-...-TERIENrE'S Phortnio
was again acted yesterday evening, by the King's
Scholars at Westminster. The parts were very well
supported, particularly those of G brow:, Phorntio, and
Dem;pho. A Prologue was recited by the Captain of
the School, which thanked the auditors for their at.
teedance, at a time when the rage for travelling had
made the young performers despair of an audience,
unless they had transported their drama to Germany
or France, and contained an eulogium on the manly
system of education, instituted by ELIZABSTII. An
Epilogue was also given—it was a dialogue between
Davut and Gaa, who complained that he was ne-
glected amidst the general joy, and was determined
to fly to America,. and expatiates on the blessings of
A residence in that country, on liberty of thought,
speech, and action, and on the general abundance
prevailing there. DaTut attempts to ridicule the
character and habits of the Americans, their gouging,
huudltng, and the infelicity of the hard names with
which their top, graphy is encumbered, the meanness
of their scit +tors orators, and the vulgarity of

functionaries in America, is this fair Pentameter:
