jesty's Person and Government. has been handed
about in the county of Gloucester, and hai received
the signatures of the Duke of BEMJFORT, several
Noble Lords, and about WO respectable Freeholders.
This Address is therefore entitled td respectful attenz

that it ccmtains no approval of the measutes of Ad-
ministration, but confines itself to professions of siev6.
tion to "our glorious and invaluable Constitution."
The defeated party at the late Meeting of the
County of Derby have ser.t forth a letter, in which,
with the view of she-xing that they had no intention,
by their projected Loyal Address, of approving the
conduct of Ministers, they "solemnly deck:.e, that if
they had heard that his MaJr.sry had called oda:.
Ministers to his Councils, they should bait been
equally anxious to make this public expression of
their principles."

Extract of a Letter from Vienne, giving !.time fur-
ther particulars of the alarming file that broke out in
the Palace of the English Ambassador, en Sunday,
December 19th :
" I left Lady STEWART about half-past nine o'clock in the
evening, and had not retired to my own room more than five
minutes, when I braid a loud explosion, which appeared to
come partly from the street and partly front within the house.
I was at once impressed with the idea of some terrible accident
having happened, in which I was confirmed by heariqg a great
bustle among the servants. I immediately opened the door,
and found them in a state of agitation and alarm, crying" Fire!
Where is Lady Srewa are I hastehed to the bed-room and
boudoir, in coder to prevent her ladyship from being alarmed,
or to appease her fears. To my astonishment and dismay, I
found the boudoir in flames, walls, ceiling, furniture, all burn-
ing. The cries of the servants rushed upon my mind in fuU
force, and occasioned the most frightful alarm for the safety of
Lally SIM A AT.
" The first thing that struck me on entering the boudoir, was
the chair, upon which I had five minutes before left her sitting,
as well as the dressing-table, in flames. I made an eflint to
reach the chair, with the forlorn hope of being able to rescue
her Ladyship, had site been upon the ground, but the fire was
so strong that I coati not get so far, and the flames prevented
me from getting a view cf the floor. I then ruched into the bed-
room which communicates with the boudoir, under the impres-
sion that Lady STEWART had gone to bed. The bed-room teas
also on fire in every parr, and the bed was burning with great
violence; I thought all was over. I tried to reach the bed to
make a desperate effort to save Lady STIWART, if possible, but
in vain ; the heat was so intense, the sense of suffocation so great;
and the flames spreading in all dirtctions with such vials nee,
that I was 'obliged to make a precipitate retreat.
" I quitted the bur sing rooms, Nil/ persuaded that Lady S.
had perished, and continued under this frightful impressing until
I unexpectedly found her lying upon the landing-place 11 the
great staircase, in the midst of the noise, harry, and coniesien
of people passing and
srepassing, in her ram de cle:nibre,.in• an iv-
tensely frosty ni'ht, shivering with cold, and just recovering
from a fainting fit.

" The Turkish Minister came up almost at the same infant.
We as,isted Lady St s.-sstur into the nearest apartment. It was
now repotted that 'h.: tire was gaining groundrand it was there-
fore deemed advi-able to remove her without delay, and the
Turkish Mit.ister and myself carried I, tdy STEWART:O the !eh lt.houtin: house of Baron Panistr, who, on hearing of the
hastened over to offer his assistance, and his house as an asylum.
" The presence of which mind Lady —TEWART demonstrated
on this trying occasion, was remarkable. From the time I l tuna
her upon the stairs, she was as cool and collected as I had ever
seen her in my life, and notwithstanding the imam:cut danger
in which she was placed by the fire, her being exposed for a con.
siderable time with scarcely any covering, to a cold frosty air,
in her present situation, yet she has most providentially escaped,
without any ill consequences whatever."

A letter has been received at the Custom-house,
from Lieutenant WHITE, R.N. Inspecting Officer of
the Preventive Water Guard at Wexford, stating that
a smuggler, called the Leather Legs, has been totally
lost, near Cansore Point, and all hands have perished.
This vessel had landed part of her cargo, which has
been seized, and lodged in Westmeath Custosn-house.

of the name of Arnot, started on Tuesday, to go on foot :.'64

shire, after starting from the F..lgeware-road on Tuesday, taking
his course through Dorchester, Oxon, Spillingford, &c. making
a reach of seventy-two miles in eighteen hours. Wedr•.esday the
pedestrian crossed the country to Salisbury, and from thence to
Poole, the day's work being &Is:lay four tniks ! Ile started
again yesterday morning, at three o'clock, for Somersetshire,
fresh and well; bat the odds increase against him.

THE GREAT SKAITER, GIRDHAN.—The poor fen
man who skaited the mile seven seconds under the
three minutes on Thursday se'nnight, below Ely, un-
fortunately lost his life-that light on his way home,
by skaiting with great velocity against the trunk of
a willow tire, not fir distant from his own house, at
