The French Papers of Sunday last arrived this day.
They are filled with Addresses of Congratulation on
the birth of the Duke of BOURDEAUX, and with details
of thefeles and rejoicings in all parts of France on
that occasion. In honour of this happy event, the
City of Paris has announced, for Sunday! banquets
and bails to be given to the working classes ; the ex-
penle to be defrayed from the Municipal Fnnds, and
the honours of the tables to be done by the Mayors in
their respective divisions.
A paragraph in The Journal des Debats says; that
no accounts had been received at Naples on the 22d,
or at Florence on the 26th, from Sicily, later than to
the 7th. Surprise was felt at Genoa on the 25th, that
no vessels had arrived for some days from Palermo;
and it was there believed that the Neapolitan squa-
dron had blockaded the harbour of that city. The
conspiracy recently detected at Naples, is said to
have been connected with foreign relations of great
consequence.
In Spain, all the Authorities, Civil and Military,
in the Peninsula, have sent Congratulatory Addresses
to the Cortes, on the subject of the events of the 6th
and 7th of the present month. The Public Func-
tionaries, with one accord, declare their zeal and
their unalterable attachment to the KING and the
Constitution. Lieut.-General VALDES Dos GAETAN
is appointed Minister of War. Lieutenant-General

venor-square.
Another grand fete took place on Monday night,
at the seat of the Duke DECAZES, at Harrow-on-the-
Hill, in celebration of the birth of the Duke of Bova-
neaux. The park, one mile and a half in extent,
was brilliantly illuminated by lamps, interwoven
among the trees and shrubs in fanciful devices, Ste.
About six o'clock, the company, which comprised a
long list of the Nobility, Cabinet Ministers, &c. be-
gan to arrive, and at nine o'clock sat down to a
sumptuous dinner ; the band of. the Coldstream
Guards performing, at intervals, several martial airs
on the lawn. The exterior of the house was illumi-
nated in a superb style; over the grand entrance
were the initials H. C. P. D. B. surmounted by a
Crown and olive branches. At the conclusion of the
dinner, a grand and extensive display of fire-works
was exhibited by Madame HENGLER, in front of the
house. The last piece was a temple in fire-works,
under the dome of which was inscribed in transpa-
rent letters, Fata Aspera Vincens. The whole had a
beautiful effect. About twelve o'clock the company
departed, amid loud cheers from the inhabitants of
Harrow and the adjacent villages, who were highly
gratified by the spectacle.
MuRDER.--A man, named Greentrees, was confined
in Maidstone Jail under a charge of horse-stealing,
and on Thursday last a small basket (conveyed by a
carrier) was received at the jail, addressed to the pri-
soner, purporting to have been sent from his native
place, Rowland Castle, Hants. This fatal package
contained bacon, cheese, apples, onions, a pair of
worsted stockings, and a small plum-pudding, highly
flavoured and full of plums. The unfortunate victim
of this infernal scheme, tempted by the appearance
of the pudding, immediately partook of the same,
and offered a portion to his fellow-prisoners; fortu-
nately they had but just dined, and one only, a
young man named William Hearne, partook of the
deadly food. He had scarcely swallowed the deceit-
ful morsel, when feeling an unusual degree of beat
arise in his throat, he immediately exclaimed—" I
am sure there is poison in this pudding." Greentrees,
who had eaten the first piece, now began to vomit
most violently, and Hearne was soon affected in a si-
milar manner. The surgeon instantly administered
antidotes, but so powerful were the effects of the
poison, that Greentrees, after experiencing the most
excruciating agony, expired on Friday evening, and
Hearne breathed his last late on Sunday evening.
The former was 43 years of age ; the latter 24. A
small portion of the pudding was shortly after given
to a hen, which soon began to vomit, and died in
about four hours afterwards. The remainder of the
pudding was analyzed, and found to contain a large
quantity of arsenic.—A Coroner's Inquest was held
at the jail, before J. N. DUDLOW, Esq. on the bodies
of the two unfortunate men. Verdict—lVitful Mur-
der against some person or persons unknown.
APPREHENSION OF VAGRANTS IN THE REGENT'S
PARK.—The inhabitants of those houses contiguous
to the Regent's Park, in the Parish of Mary-la-bonne,
have of late been greatly annoyed by a nuisance
which has for a long time existed, caused by the
assemblage of persons at the brick-kilns which are
now burning in the Park. The infinite number of
depredations which have been committed on the pro-
duce of the gardens belonging to houses in that
neighbourhood, and the poultry having also suffered
'greatly from the nocturnal excursions of such unwel-
come visitors, induced the inhabitants to make a
complaint. In consequence of which, Smith, one of
the conductors of patrol belongiirg to Bow-street,
accompanied by his party, repaired to the place of
rendezvous about half-past ten o'clock on Monday
night. On their arrival there they found by the side

Yesterday, there was a very numerous Meeting of
the Inhabitants of the United Pilisishes of St. An-
drew, Holborn, and Sr. George the Martyr, for the
purpose of addressing her Mitsitsri, at the Work-
house in Little Gray's
Mr. WHire, one of the Overseers, being voted to
the Chair, he shortly opened the proceedings by read-
ing the teirns_of the Requisition, and stating gine•
rally that it was numerously and respectably signed.
Mr. MURRAY expressed a desire that the names
should be read, but this was objected to as unneces-
sary, and several persons present expressed regret
that they had not had the opportunity of signing it.
Mr. GALLOWAY rose to propose the Resolutions,
which he did by observing, that he sinterely regretted
(although a parishioner of nearly twenty years stand-
ing), that a person better known, and More capable
of doing justice to the important subjects which had
called this numerous and respectable Meeting to-
gether, had not been selected to propose the Resolu-
tions and Address which he should have the honour
to submit to the Meeting. He said, as long as the
differences between the King and her Majesty were
confined to themselves, he was highly gratified that
the good sense and delicacy of the people of Eng-
land had refrained from intermeddling with those
differences ; but when his Majesty's Ministers had
chosen to make those differences a subject of politi-
cal consideration, then he was gratified to find, that
the people of England were vigilantly alive to the
question when it assumed that character. His Ma-
jesty's Ministers had forced the people, nay, dragooned
them into the investigation of this important subject.
The Resolutions which he should have the honour to
propose to the Meeting, so fully expressed his senti-
ments, that they rendered it unnecessary for him to
make any catalogue of the insults, injuries, and op-
pressions which bad been so copiously lavished upon
her Majesty. Daring attempts had been made to de-
stroy her Majesty with impunity ; and it should be
recollected, that if her Majesty, the highest subject
in England, could be oppressed with impunity, all
might share the same fate. The people could, there-
fore, not manifest greater loyalty to themselves and
the Throne, than by makingcommon cause with her
Majesty; she deserved their support, and in sup-
porting her cause, they wisely maintained their own
liberties. With this persuasion, he would take the
liberty of reading the Resolutions and Address,
which he had prepared for the consideration of the
Meeting, and before he proceeded, he begged to en-
force the excellent advice of the worthy Chairman,
that the Meeting would display that patience and
liberality which would afford to every individual a
fair and patient hearing; let their sentiments be either
for or against the objects of the Meeting. He then
read the Resolutions, which were received with en-
thusiasm and rapturous approbation.
The first Resolution was put from the Chair, and
carried unanimously, without observation ; but on
the second being proposed,
Mr. FILDES made a very eloquent speech, which
was much applauded, in which he complained of the
gross exaggerations contained in the Attorney-Ge-
neral's opening speech, which he must have known
could not be supported, and could only have been
resorted to to excite an undue prejudice against her
Majesty. "By G—o," said Mr. Fildes, I believe
her to be innocent of every charge imputed to her,
and I cannot have stronger reasons whereon to ground
my opinion, than those expressed in the Resolution,
and the memorable expressions of Mr. Canning, who,
although acquainted with the whole contents of the
green bag, and possessed of local information from
his having passed several months on the Lake of
Como during her Majesty's residence there, declared
his conviction of her innocence, and declined to give
his sanction to her prosecution."
The next three Resolutions were carried by loud
acclamation.

On the sixth Resolution being put, Mr. POVAH
rose to suggest the necessity of expunging :the ex-
pressions as to her Majesty's innocence being appa-
rent without the production of witnesses on her part,
and this amendment was seconded by Mr. FILDEIL
Mr. GALLOWAY rose and said, that he was sorry
that any difference of opinion should occur upon
what he considered of vital importance, namely, that
the accusations against her Majesty had completely
failed in proof, for he did hope that the generous
sentiment of every liberal Englishman which admit-
ted and recognised that benevolent principle of Eng-
lish law, that every person should be esteemed inno--
cent until proved guilty, would also be extended to
her Majesty ; if so, he had no hesitation in stating,
that the substantial part of the accusations against;
her Majesty had completely failed. of proof. He was
aware that in opposing the amendment of the two
eloquent Gentlemen who had supported it, that he

hesitate to adopt the original expression's aid he
(Mr. Harmer) reminded.him of the opinion lie had
so forcibly expressed of her Majesty s innocence;
" besides, we are only saying that which is attributed
to Mr. Canning." He, knowing the prosecutor's
cal*, had not only pronounced her guiltless, but said.
she must grate and ornament every society she might
condescend to enter. Fcr theie reasons he hoped the
seconder and nitwer of the amendment would, on
reconsideration, withdraw their Opposition to the ori-
ginal Resoliition.
Mr. F/I.DES said, be did not ionsider It disgraceful
to admit his error as it was only acknowledging him-
self to be ifiser than heretofore. He therefore; with-

out hesitation; allowed that he was convinced by the
arguments of the last two speakers, that the Reso-
lution ought to be passed in its original form. Mr.
Fildes then turning to the proposer of the amend-
nient, said, 4, Brother, brother, we are both in the
wrong." This observation excited a burst of ap-
plause, and Mr. Povah instantly got up and with-
drew his amendment.

The several Resolutions introductory to the Ad-
dress were then passed unanimously, and without
any observations, with the exception of a proposed
Amendment by Mr. CLARKE, but which, however,

was not seconded.

The eighth Resolution, animadverting on the con-
duct of the Dignitaries of the Church, for *ithhold-
ing her MAJESTY'S name from the Liturgy, was in-
troduced to the Meeting by a very excellent and
appropriate speech from a Gentleman whose name
we could not learn; his Address and Resolution

were received with great applause, and the latter
pasted unanimously.
The Address to her MAJESTY was proposed by
Mr. CLIFT, in a neat speech,. and was seconded by
Mr. Frii.oss, and unanimously carried.

Mr. CLARKE rose to propose a motion to impeach
his Majesty's Ministers for their conduct towards her
Majesty ; and although this Gentleman's observations -
contained some very pointed remarks, yet the sense
of the Meeting appeared to convey a persuasion that
the People of England were largely indebted to his
Majesty's Ministers for urging the People to think on
their present critical and alarming situation.
Upon this Mr. GALLOWAY rose and said, although
he owed his Majesty's Ministers no more respect than
the last speaker, yet he was persuaded that they had,
by their infamous conduct, done so much (uninten-
tionally, he admitted) to serve the Public cause, by
making the whole People of England think on the
political condition of their country, and, above all,
by enlisting the Females of England into the Public,
they (his Majesty's Ministers) hid rendered incalcu-
lable, though unintentional, benefits to the People,
which they should not inconsiderately depreciate or
forget. It might appear extraordinary, that he (Mr.
Galloway) should appear the advocate for a moment
of his Majesty's Ministers, but really they had ren-
dered such great services to the Public unintention-
-11 ally' that he begged leave to thank those Ministers for
what they had done, and he was therefore unwilling
to. nip such assistance in the bud ; and he entreated
the Meeting not to perform any act that should de-
prive the Nation of the singular advantages they
would be sure to derive from those Ministers being
allowed to complete the good work they had begun;
DO revenge would be so galling and so proper to in-
flict on those Ministers, as to make them look back
on the good they had unintentionally performed in
favour of the People, by attempting the cruel and
unprincipled destruction of her Majesty ; that was
the rock upon which they had foundered, and the
Public would derive mighty benefits from the wreck.
Mr. HARMER apologised for again addressing the
Meeting, but he could not, he said, abstain from sub-
Hitting: a Resolution,- which he anticipated would
meet with their unanimous approbation. It was a
trite . and well-founded maxim, that prosperity
gains friends, but adversity tries them." This 'was •
never more truly exemplified than in the treatment
her Majesty hail experienced; when - she first came
to our shores, and possessed power and influence, she
was followed by hosts of flattering courtiers, who
were eager to obtain her smiles ; when she required
not their attentions, thousands were tendering their
serviceS; but bow different was now her reception?
stigmatised, traduced, and persecuted by men in
power, she was forsaken by Court sycophants, and
when she most needed solace and support, she was
avoided as a pestilence. If, Therefore, in this forlorn
situation, one bright ornament of her sex was to be
found, who, regardless of the scorns and sarcasms of
the great, identified herself with the cause of her
Royal Mistress, she was surely deserving the appro-
bation of the British Nation; and such a female, he

wanting in the person of Lady Anne Hamilton. He
