THE FATE OF LA PEROUSE.
PROM THIII DUBLIN RIMMING IIAIL.

Certain intelligence of the fate of this unfortinate
navigator has been at length obtained. We have been
favoured by Sir William Betham with the following
extract from a letter he has received from Mr. John
Russell, his nephew :
" Honourable East India Company's Ship Research,

" Dlv MAIL Sin Wituau—l have the pleasure to inform you of ,
our safe arrival here, after a successful voyage, to ascertain the fate
of La Paouse and his ships. They were both wrecked the same
night on a reef off the Manico Island, situated in lat. 11. 40. 8. an '
long. 167. B. One of the ships sunk in deep water, after strikio
on a reef of rocks, and all on board perished; the other was ,throyr
on the reef, and those of the crew who escaped were able to save.
from the wreck materials enough to bald esmall vessel, at a place
called Paiou, where many of them were killed by the natives, bar
were enabled to finish their little salmi, in which they all left the
Island, with the exception of two men, about five months after their"
shipwreck. One of these men died about three years since; thi
other left the Lland in a canoe, and his fate is unknown; moue
likely be perished, as we have searched all the adjacent Islands, bult
could obtain no information of him.
.4 We have obtained tile clearest proofs that these ships ware
French, and have on board several pieces of silver and copper,.
stamped with a fleur-de-lis; also a large bell, with an inscription
thereon, BAZIN MA' FAIT, in large letters. A second bell,

la our visit lately to the Egyptian Hall, we were
highly gratified with the series of pictures representing some
of the most important battles fought by the French army
under Bonaparte, in Europe and Asia. Gen. Le Jenne, the
painter, is at once an accomplished artist and a gallant sol-
dier, and, therefore, peculiarly suited to perpetuate the -me-
mory of scenes, in each of which be took an active part. It has
fallen to the lot of few men to be so advantageously circumstanced

_ .
—to have actually witnessed a variety of eventful occurrences, and
to have possessed the power of describing them to the eye. He
has given us minute, and, doubtless, accurate; descriptions of Six-
teen battles or skirmishes of the French with the British, the Aus-
trians, the Russians, the Spaniards, and the Turks...with all the
heart.rending and dreadful circumstances connected with war.
The pictures consequently excite a powerful though a painful
interest' and will, no doubt, become objects of universal attraction.
The Baron Le Jew,e was we of Bonaparte's Generals, and served
with the Emperor nearly from the commencement to the termina-
tion of his brilliant career. Among the most interesting and
attractive of the pictures are, " The Battle of Marengo," " The
Battle of the Pyramids," " The Battle of Moskwa," " The Battle
of Barossa," the memorable " Storming of Saragossa." " The
Attack of a Convoy on its route from Victoria to Bayonne," " A
Skirmish with the Guerillas," and." The Battle of Aboukir."—
The fearful effects of war were never before exhibited with so
much reality—they absolutely carry the mind to the very thick of
the scene of carnage which they so vividly display. Considered as
mere works of art, these pictures possess very considerable merit.
It would be easy to point out some faults, but they are generally
faults which it would,be unnecossary to criticise.

-were irrecoverable. He will not impeach his accom-
plices, or give any information to lead them into diffi-
culty, but it seemswill put as 'much money as he can

way. It is said he has made a conditional offer to the
Secretary of State, if his sentence be mitigated, to
make such disclosures that there shall not be an
organized gang of horse-stealers undetected in the
kingdom. He offers, likewise, to give information of
an extensive manufactory of forged Bank of England

Several meetings have taken place amongst the
tradesmen in the City, in the haberdashery line, on ac-
count of the evidence given at the Old Bailey last Ses-
sion, by a person who.was an accomplice in a robbery
committed at Bath, and who ,had acknowledged that
be knew several shopmen who had been in the daily
habit of robbing their masters to a ruinous extent. The
meetings were held at a house on Ludgate-hill, and the
disclosures •made by this accomplice wete' singufar
enoiigh, and exhibited the system upon which this de-
scription of plunder is carried on. Burrowes and Ad-
lam, the persons convicted of robbing Mr. Rose, of
Bath, had been long in the habit of robbing their em-
ployers. Immediately after.the Bath robbery, Burrowes
wrote to Mr. Rose, requesting a character. 41,500 n as
he should receive this character, he was to give it to
Adlam,.who was to use it in getting' .a situation at the
house of a Quaker, a very desirable master to those
who engage themselves in a concern for the purpose of
plunder, as prosecution is out of the question wherever:. -

he should have had the opportunity, and Burrows
would have been as active in another ;shop. Tase

town, whose practice was to go and purchase as mss
silk as would make a pelisse, and Burrowes used togfilt
her as much as would snake three or four gowns be.

his goods to the brothels, where he sold for about haft-
