. PRETENDED DIUPEIN of PRINCE.

•1':;e following arc some curious facts respecting
tie renqii assuming the name of the Dauphin, who
is now in prison at Rouen :

,s a young matt of about four and five and
crrr, h.tr:ds)me• deportment, and well informed.
ilas been now a prisoner two years, during which
triod he has been sent before two Courts for trial as
impostor, and both these Courts declared them-

incompetent to take cognizance of this crime. '
•
re one of these Courts he was desired by the Pre-
.
to uncover himself. The Dauphin haughtily
Defttsis quail at a gu'un rnenarque se de-
&raw Clt :Mdth. He declares he can prove he
:tat he assumes, and demands to be taken to the
Tioleries, and when there, he will indicate places
when yowl, he concealed several things,
,:ce he will there name and describe most minutely,
says he, when La Relate us a were dolt en prison au
r.let:;e, she with a sharp instrument made a cur ions
k on'the back of his neck, (which he chews) and
wit!t :he same instrument, she at the same time made
titular one uplia that of the Duchess bis sister ;
Jig when young any playing with his sister, be with
• s 1::We accidentally stabbed her in the body, the
rora of which remained, and he will if confronted
wti her, describe the very spot where it is.
t. The...'iabrier said to be his father, being called
iota Court, was asked if that was his son? He re-
plied yes. The mother being called in and asked
el, same question, said no, and that she had never
it'zi the man before. The daughter corroborated
mother, and slid she bed never seen him, and
r...c not at all like ner brother.
• He is not closely confined at Rouen, and has
3:ways rlenty of money in hie pockets ; he sends fin
every thing of the best, and *hen brought in makes
-14 jailor taste of it. for tear of being poisoned.
Such as go to see him out of cariosity, stile Sire'
sad your Majesty.'
a He says, that some years ago, not knowing how
mestere out of France, he boldly told Bonaparte
who he was ; that he did not want to reign, and only
visited for a safe escort out of the country. Bona.
Flue, adds he, named one of his Ministers, who is
r.w hying, and he saw me safe to the frontiers ; this
-,:pan is living,and be willnamehim, in order thathe
e,:y identify biro for the man he escortedoutot France.
,s It is strange that during the numerous interro
:atlas he has had, he has never uttered a word to
i.maiit himself. People seem to think there is much
mystery in it, for it them were not reason to suppose
what he pretends to be, he would long before
have been tried and sent to the Gallies. It is
2.2. that be has a strung party in this country.
.= It has been well ascertained, that the person
;:,:coed was not the Dauphin. The surgeon who,
I..,pected this body of the child given out Cur the
lhophin, asserted it was not, and for so doing
was mound poisoned himself in his bed the next

L )ming.
'L'his young man has travelled a great deal, and
Ls been received at most of the Courts in Europe."

The Brussels papers contain an article (tom Ha.
rfver, which states a report of an intended- union be-
trten the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and the youngest
diughtrr of the Landgrree FREDERICK of HA ME; the
Yrincrsc AUGUSTA WHILIMMIN A LOUISA, born 25th
bne, 1797.
'l'he High Court of Justice sitting at Brussels, on
fie 2tnh instant pronounced the Appeal in the case
't the Duke of WELLINGTON an a;•lst the Editnr of
,the Jawed of Ease and Wed Fian'-ders, not receivable,
sal condemned his Grace in costs. The Appeal
was against the acquittal the Editor on a charge
et libel. The objection taken to it was, that the.
counsel of his Grace was not, as the law rettires,
specially empowered by his Noble Client to institute
the Appeal. There is another Appeal in this same
cause, made by the Public Officer. The merit of
this Appeal will be tried on the 27th of this month.
A private letter, dated Chuquisaca, 25th June
last, received by way of Lima and Cadiz, gives the
Royalist account of the attack of Colonel Aranz de
h Madrid on the town of Chuquisaca, or la Pinta,
is Upper Peru.
Some time ago we gave the official account of this
affair, extracted from the Buenos Ayres Gazettes,
in which Colonel de la Madrid states, that finding
the town prepared for resistance, and the impossi-
bility of taking it without greareffusion of blood, he
desisted from the attempt. It will be recollected
that Colonel de la Madrid was detached by General
&lgrano, with 500 light horse, to pass by the left
ink of the Royalists army into its rear ; he accom-
plished that object, and took 'radii', where they had
aennsiderable depot of arms, Sec. and especially pro.
miens. The letter from Chuquisaca alluded to,
rates that Colonel de la Madrid, after a march of 18
days from I'arija, arrived in the night of the 21st of
Nlay within a short distance of Chuquisaca, without
e,ng perceived by the garrison. On the 22d, at two
'clock in the morning, he fired a gun, and sum.
termed the place, which enabled the garrison to re-
)air to their posts. After several ineffectual attacks
to various parts of the town, the Colonel retreated
it three in the afternoon on the road towards Yam-
;ares, with the loss of 100 killed and wounded.
Tile writer of the letter adds, that it the Colonel bad
waded at two o'clock in the morning, without any
;:e7i0115 summons, he would have carried the place
sl:hout resistance, and takes 600 stand of arms,
!T),000 cartridges, three pieces of cannon, Sec. and
17 these means armed the country people. Owing
'3 the disturbed state of all the districts in the rear
:f the Royalist army, all communication with Lima
lad been interrupted till the 25th of June, when the
114-delegate of Chayanta arrived, under an escort of
men, notwithstaud,ng which they were harassed
they march ; the spirits of the Royaiists were,
mieever, raised by a report that Colonel de la Mad-
:id had been surprised by Colonel la Mail, and corn.
c:ely defeated, with the loss of all his baggage;
t'ty anxiously waited for an official confirmation.
:ie head-quarters of the Royalists army were at
14z.i, to which strong hold ti.ey had retreated,
tier sustaining very great losses from the continued
':asks of the light troops of General Gremes. The
'my of regulars of Buenos Aires, under the Cum-
Bolgrano, had not advanced from
