" The Duke of Wellington left this city to-day, at
ten o'clock, to return to his head-quarters at Cambray.
" A few days since there arrived at Waterloo,

"rith a cross. This pyramid, which is' 6 feet high,
will be set up in the Commune of Planchenoit, *near
the Church, on the spot upon which there was a
Prussian battery, which did not a little contribute to
the success of that memorable day. This monument
bears an inscription in the German language, to the
following eifect:—"fo the Prussian Heroes, their
grateful King and Country.'— Every exertion is
making to get the pyramid set up before the 18th

A letter from Lausanne of the 19th inst. informs

us that in consequence of the falling of a considerable
portion of the vast Glacier of Chedroz, the course of
t'ie river Drance has been completely obstructed, and
the water has formed a lake, which, on the 14th inst.
was 7200 feet in length, 360 in breadth, and 180 in
depth. The lake is daily increasing in magnitude,
and it threatens all the adjacent country with de-
struction. Precautions have been adopted, in order,
as far as possible, to avert the impending calaraity.

ROYAL MESSAGE.

Lord CASTLEREAGH moved the Order of the
for a Committee to take into consideration the
tessar,e from his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
mt. The House having re.olved itself accordingly,
Lord CASTLEREACTII slid, on calling the atten-
of the Committee to his Royal Highness's most
:ions message, he did not feel it necessary to
ible them with observations at any length, as all
_ topics connected with this subject had been so
recently discussed, and the general principles of it
fully examined. The present question had been,

JAMAICA PAPERS.

CURACOA, MARCH 7.
On the morning of the 18th of February last, in-
telligence was received at La Guayra from Caraccas
that General Morillo had left the town of Calaboza,
with about forty hussars, on a reconnoitring party,
from which he had not returned after an absence of
twelve hours ; that no one knew what was become of
him, but that strong apprehensions were entertained
that he and his party had been made prisoners—
which sad tidings caused great alarm, and made
every one anticipate a general detest. A few hours
afterwards the report was contradicted, and another
one prevailed, which was, that from seventy to eighty
light cavalry having led their horses to a river near
the town of Calaboza, had suddenly been surprised
by the enemy, who, finding them dismounted and
not prepared, cut every man down ; that, in conse-
quence, the Commander in Chief had attacked their
advanced guard with about 400 men, but that the
result was not known,—On the day following, seve-
ral families came down from Caraccas. with their
trunks, bedding, Ste. who stated, that the communi-
cation between the Spanish ormy and the capital was-
entirely cut off, the enemy having got in the rear of
Morino, and consequently between hen and Caraccas.
By two o'clock p. m.. it was said that the enemy was
within a short distance from the last city, conse-
quently every one began to pack up and prepare for
embarkation, which was nut into execution during
the afternoon and the wbote of the night, so that by
ten o'clock of the 20th of February, most of the fa-
milies were on board the different vessels in the road.
The confusion was indeed very great, every one
struggling to be taken on board the first. Great
sums of money were paid for boats and launches.—
At three o'clock p. m. a Proclamation was published,
advising the people to return to their houses, as there
was not the least danger. An hour afterwards, a
dispatch from Caraccas was made public, which sta-
ted, that Morillo had defeated and dispersed the In-
surgents, who had attacked him three times with
2,000 cavalry and 1,500 infantry ; that, after the
third attempt having proved unsuccessful, General
Morillo in his turn ordered his brave soldiers to
charge them with the bayonet, when they killed be-
tween five and six hundred, made many prisoners.
and took a great'many arms, ammunition, &c. whicH
news was received with every demonstration of joy,
and the guns round he batteries were discharged.
It took four days to get on shore all the property
that had been embarked.—What is remarkable on
this occasion is, that even all the Creole families fled
from those whom they formerly conceived to be their
protectors, which would seem to prove that they are
by this time undeceived, and convinced of the truth
that the legitimate Government, which at present
protects them, will afford them security, which they
cannot expect from the other.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 25....

On the motion of Sir A. PIGGOTT, it was ordered
by the LORD CHANCELLOR, that this case should
stand at the head of his Lordship's paper on Satur-
day next*

crovcU r. cnotTcu.

This was an alsPiict;iiorl;;SitSAMUEL ROMILIN,
in behalf of the plaintiff, Mrs. Crouch, for an in-
junction to restrain the defendant from having pos-
session of the person of her son, James Richard
Crouch, an infant only five years old. The case, as
stated by the Learned Counsel, was as follows :--
'lle plaintiff, from some causes of domestic disagree-
ment,.had been separated from the defendant, her
husband, and finding on his part a non-compliance
with the marriage-settlement, she filed a bill in that
Cssort,'in order to compel the fulfilment of it., Much
displeasure and resentment was expressed by the de-
fendant at this step, and he threatened, if she should
pursue it, to take the child from her, and so to dis-
pose of it in France, that she should never see or
hear of it more. Under these circumstances, the
Learned Counsel trusted his Lordship would grant
,the injunction.
The Lotto CHANCELLOR said, the Court had al-
'ways a hesitation in interfering between the Authority
of a father and his child.

Sir SA stUEL ROMILLY was well aware of that, but!
the present case was peculiar, and the plaintiff was
extremely alarmed and terrified lest the defendant
should actually put his threat into execution.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR—" Was that threat of
the defendant in consequence of the bill filed 'r"
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY—" Yes, my Lord."
The Loan CHANCELLOR—" Take your injunction
till further order."

The strict observance of the laws introduced
formerly under the French Government, and which
have still remained in force, among which is the ri-
gorously demanding passports, which frequer.tly
causes unpleasant disputes with travellers at the
gates, has lately been the cause of a verNmelancholy
accident. A citizen of this city, Dominique Janssens,
going to Molines, was met by a Gendarme, who
demanded to see his passport. He said he had none,
and that he was a resident citizen of Antwerp, and, as
he thou gkt, personally not u I known to the gendarme.
This availed nothing, and he was required to go to
Lien. Janssens refuses, because it is so much out of
his way, and will hinder the business he has in hand.
The gend'arme insists—Janssens still refuses. The
gend'arme prepares to bind him—Janssens suffers
himself to be hound without resistance, and follows

PASSAGE.

- -
The following additiofial particulars relative to
the newly found people in those dreary regions are
extremely curious:—
«
The Jane, Captain Young, of Montrose, sailed in company
with the Isabella and Alexander, from Lerwick, and learnt
from Captain Ross, the following interesting particulars :
• After the last accounts from the Expedition, up to the 23thi
July., when they had reached lat. 7s. £l. and long: tit/. 7,0. the
weather cleared, and the variation of the compass increased
so fast, that it became difficult to find out exactly how the ship
was steering. The sea, ss ith the exception of some ice-bergs,
being completely clear of other ice, they reached lat. 76k, When
they were unexpectedly opposed in their northern progress by
temktirma. Here they met with a new race of Esquittaux,
who by their astonishment, .appeated never to have seen a ship
before. At first they were much afraid, and made signs for the
vessel to fly away, thinking that they were huge birds of prey,
that had descet:ded from the moon to destroy them. A few of
the natives, hoWever, were soon enticed on board, when they
expressed their awe and wonder by hugging the masts, and other
exit avagant nninif‘stat ions of imploration, as U to superior beingi;
at other times, on attentively surveying the ships, they laughed
ipunoderately. 'they were entirely unintelligible to the Esqui-
mau: whom Captain Ross took out with him, although they
seem to be of the saint: origin, their physiognomy being similar,
but of rather a dark. r complexion—in their general appearance,
language, and manners, approaching nearer to the natives of
Kamtschatka, or the tiorth-eesternextreutity or Asia. Their tousle
nl travelling is on sledges. drawn by does, and some ul them
wers seen in this way, going northward. They were in poskes-
slots of knives, which, it is conjectured, they must have formed
from their: u is its natural state, and which may, perhaps, at some
future period, become an object of comtnerce with the natives
of
those hitherto unknown regions. The weapons they used fur kil-
ling the smal:er whales were the horns of the sea mien: n. !leer,
then, at the termiroation of this immense bay, v. Melt, till now,
has been supposed to communicate with the Polar Basin, an
entire new race of human beings 'has been discovered; anti the
Idea of reaching the Pole,or penetrating into the North Pacific
Ocean by Behring's Straits, tbrnugh this supposed passage, is
for ever at rest. The Isabella and Alexander traversed the
whole bay, having sailed up the eastern, and returned by the
western shore—thus proving that the whole of that vast and un-
known country, from Cape Farewell to the Cape VI/al.ingham,
of Davis, la attached to the continent of Arnerica. After all,
the traditionary story, handed down among the southern Esqui-
maul, that there is a rapid and narrow riser to the northward,
which may communicate with the Polar Basin, is perhaps
founded on reality. Our navigators, in their progress round this
&cagy numercus whales; and due advatitut.e will no
doubt be taken of this valuable discovery by the alters next
eason."

PRIVAtE LETTER.

at Aix

" PARIS, NOVEMBER 21.
• "The Minerva and the Bildiotheque Hittorique,
continue, with an ardent zeal, to develope the various
abuses of the Charter that exist, and we heir no more
of prosecutions. The Prefects and the Mayors now
find that they catatot do illegal acts with impunity.
The Clergy alone remain blind and incorrigible ; and
they still continue to preach tythes, the restitution of
national property (meaning the Church lands). and
the mortal sin of giving philosophers Christian burial.
" The Marquis de CNA/MIMES, it would appear,
"Wishes to be thought a great.poet and politician, but
we do not think he will attain immortality in either.
He has published the Portrait of an Ultra! which
has been most happily parodied here.
" Paris) for the last week, has been filled with ru-

mourn of the escape of BONAPARTE ; and more than
one of the stout-hearted Ultras have been so alarmed
at it as to have taken to their beds, from which no-
thing would have made them rise but the certainty
Of its not being true, or the rumour of his landing
in France ; and then those brave heroes would spew
themselves able to run a race with Diana.—Happily
all their fears are groundless."

We have received this morning Papers from Xis-
la-Chapelle, and Brussels to the 22d instant. The
following are extracts :
BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER so.

The Theatre Royal was extremely brilliant yes-
terday evening. The Emperor Alexander, the Em-
press Dowager, the Grand Duke Constantine, (who
arrived in the morning from Paris). the Grand Duke
Michael, the Royal Family, and the illustrious stran-
gers now in our city, honoured it with their presence.
It would be difficult to describe the enthusiasm shewn
by the numerous audience on this occasion.
'NOVEMBER 21.—The Empress Dowager of Russia,
and the Emperor Alexander, have left us this morn-
ing. The Prince and Princess of Orange accompanied
their august Mother as far as Liege.
Yesterday the Prince of Hesse, Commander of the
Danish troops, arrived here from France.
It is with great astonishment that we read, in the
Journal de Frankfort, of the 17th of this month, the
following article, dated Brussels, the 12th : " A
plot has just been discovered, the object of which was
nothing less than to seize the Emperor Alexander, on
his journey hither, and to force him, under pain of
death, to declare the Duke of Reichstadt (young Na-
poleon) Emperor of France ; and her Majesty (the
Duchess of Pat n:a) Regent. The conspirators had
got proclamations printed, on which they depended
to excite an insurrection. Several of them have been
arrested, and they are almost all Frenchmen. This
plot is supposed to have extensive ramifications."

ANOTIIEIt ACCOUNT.

(Fromiirhaster's Manchester Chronicle, Saterday, Augur. 1.)
The condition of the spinners, men, women, and
children, is yet unaltered. No difference in it is ap-
parent. but that time and endurance give it deeper
shades of imperiousness in the eyes of the public.—
' Nlithout legal employment, there can be no legal
maintenante ; and on this disgraceful rule many
are now voluntarily acting—many from compul-
sion. Those who would work,, cannot—dare not—
they are annoyed, ins fitted, prevented. Theurn-ants
waylay them, and contrive, without actual violence,
to surround individuals in such a way that hey be-
come prisoners, and are thus conveyed by circles of
men to t/e Committee. The victuals of those at work
are destroyed by men on the road posted for the pur-
pose ; and if, on the report of these injuries, the agents
of the Police appear, all annoyance has ceased, and
the offending parties are vanished. The whole of the
people of one respectable factory were forced into
idleness at the c'ose of lag week by such means.—
They intreated to be employed, but, under such cir-
cumstances of constant irritation and infraction, the
owner of the mill could not endure to continue.

On Wednesday a dead rabbit, stripped of skin and
flesh, was hoisted on a lamp-iron in Deansgate, at the
corner of the shambles, with a placard underneath it,
intimating that the Spinners would be reduced to
that cLndi.ion before they would come in." Thus
the necessaries and comforts of life become rejected.
Another Proprietor who,e work people were an-,
noyed and insulted by a congregated body of the
disaffected, sent to the Poli:e o:fice for protection to
them, but before the means could arrive, the assail-
ants were off. All this, of course, is according to a
preconcerted system.
How long things will thus contitinne, time alone
can resolve, the Magistrates are alive to their 41ItY
additional troops are arrived, but' it is to be hoped
that _stmng measures will not become necessary
for restoring to the inhabitants that security which
'at present is so much invaded. There is a reward of
£5OO offered, on conviction of the parties who set fire
to Messrs. ORNIROD and HAitoensvues factory, of
Bolton ; and it is a singular coincidence, that the
cotton factory of Messrs. SWAINSTONE and Co.. of
Prestoo took fire from a cause not yet ascertained, on
the same night, and at about the same hoar with the
above. It, was, however, soon extinguished.

ASSIZES.
LEICESTERSHIRE.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
On Friday a case came on before the Come BARON,
which had been the subject of conversation for some
time through this part of the country, and the cir-
cumstance,: of which raised against one of the par-
ties the wildest resentment, while the . other was
viewed with the deepest compassion.
Michael Shipman, a Dissenter, a man of property,
resident in Hinckley, within thirteen miles of l.eices•
ter, was called to answer the complaint of a beauti-
ful girl, named Emma Dalton. He took his seat at
the table opposite the witness's box, and had frequent
communications with his Solicitor during the trial,
which lasted seven hours. The indictment charged
him with having assaulted Miss Dalton, and admini-
stered laudanum, or some other exciting drug, for
the purpose of producing unconsciousness, insensi-
bility, or appetite in that young lady, with the view
of rendering her subservient to his passions. There
were other counts in the indictment, one of which
charged him with a common assault.
Mr. CLARKE opened the case, which, be said, was
the most aggravated one he had ever heard. He
made no other comment upon it than that the evi-
dence would he found incontrovertible ; that it would
disclose a system of villainy the most depraved ; and
that the honour of the sex and common humanity
demanded an attention from the Jury incapable of
being prejudiced by an address to their feelings, un-
supported by powerful testimony. He called the
prosecutri x.
Miss Dalton stated, that ;he was twenty-one years
of age; she was Governess to three children of Mr.
and Mrs. Shipman. On the 19th of December she
was taken violently ill with a pain in the stomach
She asked the servant, Clara Johnson, to give her
some warm water to wash her feet. The girl return-
ed and said her master, Mr. Shipman, was coming
up to her room. This surprised and alarmed her.—
The children of the prisoner were in bed with her.
He made her take some brandy. He then left the
room. About five in the morning she awoke in hy-
sterics. She was taken down stairs and laid on a
sofa. Mr. Shipman madeher take three cups of tea,
and in the third she thought he had mixed lauda-
num ; and he took liberuss with his hands on her
