the suitors who paid their addresses to his two daugh- ,
_
tcrs, on account of the supposed inferiority of' their,
situation. The knight, after representing to her that
" her father was a fishmonger," and failing to Mo. I
derate her arrogance ; communicates to a confidential !
friend, an expedient for curing this evil. He sends
forth the news of his death, and a will, by which bp
leaves his brother, who had been dependent in his
counting-house, all his property. This brother, who
had been the humblest sycophant, was not long in
possession of riches, when he became the most over-
Ibearing oppressor. He drives the widow and daugh-
ters from his table, makes them wear dowlass, and
I sew and spin for their bread. The wife, once so high
' and insolent, repents and is reclaimed. At the mo-
ment when the unfeeling upstart is practising new
acts of tyranny, the real owner of the property makes
his appearance. The sequel may easily be conceived.
'The acting was not censurable, though it might have
1 been better. Mrs. Enwp:, in some instances, was
really too much of the " Fishmonger-I's Daughter ;"
and DECAMP was not a very substantial British free-
holder. RAYMOND was praiseworthy in the brother;
as were Powera. and HOLLAND, in two City Knights.
EYRE spoke, with gentlemanly deportment, a Pro-
logue of some point ; and a very lively Epilogue was
extremely well delivered by Mrs. EDWIN. The Play
was announced for this evening with loud approbation.
A Gentleman is arrived in town, who came passers i
ger in a corn ship from the coast of Britanny. He
left Paris on the '24th ultimo, but did not bring any
French Papers. Bonaparte was at one of the Pari-
sian Theatres on the preceding evening, where he
was loudly cheered. He was attended by all the
Crowned Heads which then continued in the French
capital. The current chit-chat of every polite circle
was confined to the intended choice to be made by
Napoleon of a new wife. His public declaration, as
stated in Paris, was, that he should astonish France
and all surrounding nations, by his choice ; and he
has thus left the wits in a chaos of conjecture. The
final subjugation of spain was so far certain, that
Bonaparte had intimated that a treaty of pence with
'the Junta was drawing fast to a conclusion, and would
I soon be publicly announced. The terms were of the
most satisfactory nature, and such as were calculated
to insure the future uninterrupted alliance between the
I two countries. We give this account from the lips of
I our informant, who is the passenger above alluded to.

Chatnterlaitt, alias Helmet
a Bond-street blood, was brought to this office on Fri-
day, from the arms of his there ami, in Suffolk-street,
to answer various charges of fraud. Mr. Davis, 1
jeweller in Jermyn-street, proved having been de
frauded of jewellery by the prisoner, to the amount
of R4O, by a false representation of himself ; and Mr..
Wirgman, in St. James's-street,received an order from
him for a service of plate, but he was fortunate
enough to detect the fraud in time to save most of
his articles. About '2O tradesmen in St. James's and
Bond-streets have been defrauded by the prisoner
within the last month. He has bs,en sonic time on
the town, but he found it necessary to take a country
tour about a twelvemonth ago, and while the hue and
cry was after him in the metropolis,
he was safely
locked up in Carlisle jail on a charge of forgery. He
made his appearance again in London about three
weeks or a month siDce, and although so well known+
he has contrived to dupe the number of persons de-
scribed. A gentleman in the office held a tictitions
bill which the, prisoner paid to Marlin, of 13:igsbc'ts
where he arrived in a chaise and four, two rears:lr,
and represented•himself as the bearer of dispatches
from Spain. He contrived to borrow about £169
