member that immediately ui on the receipt of this letter,' cps-'
suited with Sir. Stephen eksirp, who aimed trot only to write a
letter to the Governor Gerund, requiring an expleuatinn of the
ciretnnstances of which Bellingham complained, but *lva to L's
own mercantile correspondents' British residents at Archangel,
for their prelim cif thi conduct of the Russian Gcreertaateut to-•I
wards the eoniplaimuit.
It appeared from these inqteriel. that Bellieneham havingbeen I
visaged in cetnmereal buaineas with the house of le:whether zed
i Co. pecutiiary claims were madeby each party against the other,
anti that diem claims had been by the Governor General referred foe
dr ci,ion to four merchants, two British merchants being appoin-
ted on the part of Bellingham and two other persons on the pert
of Dorbecker :—By the mond of those aebitrators, Bellingham
was declared to be indebted to the assignees et Dorbecker the
sum of two thotnand roubles. This sum Bellingham, rotwith-
standing this decision, refused to pay.
It also appeared from the conummicademi received from Arch-
ante!, that a criminal suit had been Instituted against Bellioeham,
by the owners *fa koseiau ship which had been lost in the W her
See. They accused hint of having written en anonymous lett r
that had been received by the Underwritersin London, in„wl i-h
letter it was stated that the bailments of that ship was a frautht-
lent transaction ; and payment fee theta's of her had been in con.
sequence resisted. Na satisfactory pri4of was adduced against.
Bellingham, and he was arqukted of this charge. Btu beore the
termination of this auk, he attempted to quit Archangel, and
being mopped by the Police, whom he resisted, he was taken to
prison ; but was soon after liberated, is conareuence' I believe,
of a second application to the Governor from Sir :..tephen Shairp.
1 About this period I quitted Russia; and I have no recollection
of hearing anything more of john BeHnigham, till after my ar-
rival at St. Petcrbuigh upon my second embassy. He came rune
ning into my house one evening, and solicited me to allow him
i to remain all night, in order to avoid being retaken into custody
by the Police, from whom he had escaped. I complied with this
request, though l'eatild not, upon any ground, assume to myself
the power of protecting him from legal a.-rest. It appeared that
the award of the Arbi•rators of Archangel had been confirmed
by the Senate, to which bedy Bellingham had appealed; and he was
• in consequence delivered over to the custody of the Collt ge of Com-
i meets fa Tribunal establirhed for the special purpose of taking
1 cognmalnee of couunercial matters relating, to British subjects,
;sod whom *charity was recognized in the Commercial Treaty
between the two Countries) there to remain till he discharged
the debt of the two thousand roubles. This custody was not
very strict, for be was allowed tq walk wherever he pleased, at-
I tended by a Police Officer belonging to the College.
i Is came frequently to my house, and at various times reeeiv-
a ed from my Private Secretary small aunts of money, to support
him during his confinement, Confined as he was by the legal
authorities of the Country, I could on no pretence make any ap-
plication for his release; but I remember well, in conversation
with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, expressing my personal
wish that the Russian Government, seeing no prospect of reco-
vering the sum of money required front him, would liberate
him fretn prison, on condition of his immediately returning to
England. •
Yogi sees after this eseeersattots, all diplomatic intercourse
ceased between the two Courts; and the course of public events
, necessitated my quitting Russia in the abrupt manner with which
you; Lordship Is well acquainted.
i am, my Lord, with great respect,
Your Lordship's moat obedient humble Servant,

were brought up and underwent examination betore the Sitting
Magistrate, being charged with a conspiracy, for the purpose of
raising their wages; which conspiracy being made out against 13
of them,they were held to ball, to appear at the next Sessions.
Bow-sTasav-i-Yeaterday came on the hearing of the infor-
mation respecting the Pantheon Opera-house, which stood ad-
journed, against Cads Caveini, for performing in an Entertain-
ment called" II 'Naval° a Quatto," without being duly liceneed.
Mr. Aboxentts, en the pan of the defendant, contended, that it
had not been preyed that there was no licence, or that the de-
fendant did perform for gain. These objections were overruled
by the Magistrates, who conceived that it lay with' the defen-
dant to shcw he was performing under a licence, and that the
proof of money being taken at the doors for admission was suffi-
cient to support the charge of performing for hire. The Lord
Chamberlains licence was then produced by Mr. Austin, banker,
of Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, in whose hands it is depo-
sited, and the terms of which licence the Maglottates judged to
be full authority for the piece in question, which was held to be
a Burhnta.—The information was therefore dismissed ; and those
against Morino, another of the performers, for a similar offence,
were withdrawn.
