The Poem has been removed by the order of Be-
NAPARTE, from Savona, in the Genoese territory, to
Tortona, a strong place of Piedmont.' Such an event,
at the period of the meeting of the Ecclesiastical
Council at Paris, may give room for various reflec-
tions. It is rather singular, That we have heard
nothing farther of the proceedings of this Council,
than the ceremonies which accompanied its opening.
It is probable that it may not have proved quite so
complaisant as was expected.
The Bishop of CHICHESTER, in his late visitation,
held at St. Michael's Church, Lewes, delivered a
charge to the Clergy, in which he regretted that no
beneficial change, either in the political or religious
world, had been felt since he had last the honour et
addressing his brethren. Some attention had been-
paid by the Legislature to the cause of religion and
the esteleneLment, by sums of money voted to the
poorer Clergy ; but the clamorous spirit ot the Irish
Catholics, and the rapid increase id Dissenters and
Sectaries within the last few years, made him fear,
that, before long, the religion the Church of En-4e'
land would ne more be the religion of the majority
of the nation. He concluded by exhortieg the Clertyy,i
by their precepts and their pract:ce, to viedicete their]
character from all misrepresentation, and preserve, as
much as their efforts could effect it, an establishment,i
whose overthrow would probably be accompanied by I
the overthrow of the State.
Saturday night, as one of the Highgate coaches
was returning down the hill from West End Fair,
laden with passengers, it broke down, when one of
the passengers, a fimale, had her leg broken, and was
Saturday an hopital.
se'nnight, as a labouring man named
Back, an inhabitant of Ringmer, was working at
Glynde chalkpit, he ventured to pursue his dangerous
occupation under an impending heap of chalk; which
unfortunately fell 'on the poor man and crushed him
to death.
A dreadful accident heppened a few days since, at
the Hotwells, Bristol. The men employed in blast-
ing
the rocks blew up several mines in succession; but
one of them missing fire, they conceived that the fai-
lure was occasioned by the touch-hole being too small.
They accordingly determined to enlarge it, by chip-
ping away the sides with a steel instrument ; in doing
which they imprudently neglected the precaution of
wetting the charge, and a spark unfortunately
falling
into the chamber, the powder exploded instantly.—
Of the two men at work, one had his skull fractured
by a fragment of rock, and his companion had also
his skull fractured, and a bend shattered to pieces.
The heavy fall of rain, on Saturday, did much da- '
mage at Stamford. The Hunter's Bridge, at Ham-
bleton, was swept away, and the Vale of Catmos
entirely inundated. Hay in swarth, cocks, and even
several small stacks, were carried away by the impe-
tuosity of the flood. In the meadows about Barrow-
den, Wakerley, Harringworth, Thorpe, Caldecot, and
Bringhurst, immense quantities of hay were carried
away. Several thousand loads, it is supposed, have
been destroyed. The water rose I'3 feet in less than
four hours, in Wood Newton parish.
Friday, was found drowned, in a pond, near his fa-
ther's house, at Flansham, Mr. W. Bridger, aged 19.
It is supposed he was taken in a fit whilst angling.
Sunday, the 14th instant, Charles Giddins, coach-
man to the Duke of Portland, was apprehended in
passing through the burgh of Annan, with a break, a
heavy carriage, and two single-horse caris, with bag-
gage, and fined by John Dalgleish, Esq. one of the
present Magistrates of that burgh, in £lO Scots, with
ss. expenses, fur profanatioa ot the Sabbath-day.
Saturday Eliz. Edwards and Sarah Davies under-
went a final examination, at Hatton-Garden Office,
charged with uttering a forged note for £5, purporting
the same as being a bank of England note, knowing
the same to be forged and counterfeited, when they
were fully committed for trial.

The Duchess of Bitt;.:swlcK is nearly recovered
from her late indispoiition. Her Royal Highness
yesterday took an airing to Kensington Palace.
The letters from St. Petersburgh, by the Anholt
Mails, are expressed in terms highly favourable to
the continuance of the interconm %vita Great 13ritain,
through the medium of neutral vessels ; xud a great
number of ships were eii!ier ladeA, or in a progress
of loading, with valuable cargoes in the ports of
Russia. _ _

We are also informed by a letter received yester-
day, dated the 19th inst. of a homeward-bound con-
voy of about 50 sail, then waiting a favourable wind,
i
in Hanno Bay.
An edict, which has naturally produced a strong
sensation in France, has also been kept out of the
journals, by which no heiress possessed of the income
of 6000 francs per annum (about £250) is to be al-
lowed to marry without the consent of the Emperor.
It is understood that such marriages are to be confined
to the military, unless by special indulgence.
We have been favoured with an official paper from
Bourdeaux by which it appears that not only those i
Ames ican ships have been set at liberty by BONA-
wory, in the ports of France, which contained the
property or produce of the United States, but also
ships of whit)) the cargoes consisted of cocoa, coffee,
logwood, bark, pepper, sugar, and other articles of
Spanish and British colonial produce have been pr;.
mitted to unload and reload without any obstruction,
and every vessel which has arrived in France since
the 2d November last has been placed under the same
favourable circumstances.
By a Gentleman who has arrived from Bilboa, we
ore informed that King JOSEPH had re-entered Spain,
with an escort of 2,600 men, which are the only troops
of France that have passed the Pyrennees for a consi-
derable time. On reaching Vittoria, he assembled
the Functionaries and Magistracy of the Province rf
Biscay, when a Council was held which lasted six
days. He left that fortress on the sth, and was re-
ceived at Burgos on the Bth instant, from whence he
was to proceed to Valladolid, but it was expected
that he would not for some tiroe visit Madrid.
A person who has arrived from Coninna, and w.ho
left it on the 16th instant, informs us, that the army
of SANTOCILDES, who is opposed to BONNET with only
8000 men, is 21,000 strong, including POILIER'S
division. .
LADY SREFFINGTON. —Died, on Friday last, the
16th instant, to the inexpressible grief of a numerous
circle of friends, in her 69th year, at the residence of
Sir WILLIAM SKEFFINGTON, Bart. in Beaumont-street,
Devonshire-place, Cametue a JOSEPHA Lady SEES.
IFINGTON, after a lingering indisposition of five years,
which she bore with meekness, fortitude, and resigna-
tion. Few minds were more liberally er lowed by
nature, or more highly embellished by cultivation.—
..Although perfection be not within our reach, yet she
certainly made as near approaches to that state
as could be attained by human nature ; being a truly
Christian character : it is scarcely requisite to add,
that, as a wife, a mother, and a friend, few ever yet
surpassed her. Sir Wimaaas and his son are incon-
solable.
Bacan.---There being no Court of Aldermen this
day, the Lord Mayor, after inspecting the returns,
ordered it to advance 2d. per Peck Loaf.
Thursday a person named Light, was apprehended
in Winchester, for stealing a mare from Forest-side,
near Standstead, in Sussex, which he afterwards sold
to Mr. White, stable keeper at Worthing. He has
confessed the robbery, and is fully committed to Hor-
sham Gaol for trial.
A melancholy accident occurred at Merton, near
Chichester, on Saturday e'iiiiigiit : a servant of Joseph
Goodman, Esq. named Edward Grover, while in the
act of putting the harness on a horse, received a vio-
lent kick in the abdomen, and although surgical aid
was instantly obtained, a tumefaction took place,
which was followed by a mortification: the unfortu-
nate man languished in the most excruciating pain,
