PRIVATE LETTER.
" Sit Robert Wilson and Mr. Bruce left Paris yes.
terday for England. It had been understood that
the depatture of these Gentlemen was not to take
place White cod of this week, and that they were to
travel with the usual passports from our Ambassador,
a point which I believe had been clearly agreed on
between M. de Richelieu anti Sir Charles Stuart
The Minister of Police, however, whether from igno-
rance of this arrangement, or from a wish to give
these Gentlemen a last proof of his good will towards
them, directed passports to be sent to all three of
them, with a notification to quit Paris in three days.
These passports were communicated to Sir Robert
Wilson and M. Bruce on Tuesday night, and another
was meant to have been given to Captain Hutchin-
son, who, however, had left Paris early in the morn-
ing of that day, with a passport of the British Mini-
ster, countersigned in the usual way by the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, and the Prefect of Police. Sir
Robert Wilson and M. Bruce declined receiving these
"passports,* and returned them to M. de Cazes, with
tatters* stating the arrangement by which they bad
understood they were to travel with British passports.
66 • These Gentlemen also informed Sir Charles
Stuart of the circumstance., and with a full intention
.of not deferring their departure beyond this week,
awaited the result of this step. Previously, however,
to receiving an answer from the British Minister,
they each of them received, on Thursday morning,
at atiout ten o'clock, a visit from a Commissary of
Poker, attended by a Captain of gendarmerie, who
informed them that they had orders to see them into
, their carriage, and out of Paris, by two o'clock on
that day, for which purpose post-horses were to be
sent in time; and that, furthermore, they were not to
lose sight of them until then. They stated that they
hid no written orders, but acted upon verbal instruc-•
tions from the Minister. Sir Charles Stuart was im-
mediately apprised of this unexpected circumstance,
and wrote to the Due de Richelieu for an explana-
tion, sending at the same time his own passports (or
'the usual countersign. The Duke being engaged in
' conference, observed, that he would send an answer.
It was to be feared that this explanation could not
take place previous to the hour at which the officers
had stated that they must peremptorily execute their
orders, each of them having gendarmes at band if
force had been necessary. An application was there•
fore made to the Prefect and Minister of Police, for
a suspension of the order until the explanation could
be obtained. This was granted until six o'clock, and
the order for that purpose arrived just in time to pre-
vent the intended departure.
se Before six, further communication took place
with the Ministers of Police and Foreign Affairs, in
consequence of which an order was at length obtained
for the removal of the restraints put upon these Gen-
tlemen, and which order, like the former, at rived just
as the hour was expiring. The Minister of Police
&dared he had net intended that any restraint should
be pit upon, those Gentlemen previous to their de-
p.ature, although the effect of his orders was to keit)
useni iirisouer, in their apartment until.the moment
of the,r dep.irtu.e. They set out at length with Bri-
tish passports ia the usual form, not wren specifying
the route, much less the time in which they were ex,
pectsd leave the country.
" No intelligence has yet atrivcd of the execution
of Mouton Duvernet, the General who, having pass-
ports and every other means necessary for escaping
abroad, delivered himself up to the Royal Govern-
ment, rater than quit bis country ; but an 'article
which appeared yesterJay in the papers, tending much
to criminate him, and consequently to justify Govern.
meat, strongly forebodes that fatal event.

64 At Naples, they order thi.se matters otherwise.
A General Francischetti, who had siAnaliz2ll himse:i
by his devotion to Murat, having followed him in his
last expedition; had since escaped the pursuit of jits.
cite by taking refuge in the mountains of Cal4tni.i.
He was living there forgotten by Government, when,
weary of this wandering life, and perhaps touched
with a feel'ng of repentance, he determined upon
throwing himself upon the generosity of Government%
and accordingly surrendered into the hands ni the
Authorities of Cozerma. A teport on -the subject
was immediately made to Government, anJ a Coun-
cil, presided by M. de St. Clair, the Minister of War;
and actuated by the spirit of the French Ulttas, de.
cided that he should be brought to trial, and made
to suffer the fate of his fallen leader.
is This decision being laid before the King, his Ma.
jesty, with his own hand; added the following minute
to it:—' The guilty' who gives. himself to the law,
confide, it the mercy, not in the justice of the Prince.
There is no room for his trial. Let him retire. into
Sicily.' So grateful was this act of clemency to the
public, that on his Majesty's appeariug shortly after..
at the Theatre des Florentini, he was bailed fly mt.
usual acclamations of joy,"
A French Paper gives the substance of an (Mi.
nance issued by the Prefect of Paris concerning the
use of copper vessels and netosils, the reservoirs of wane
sellers, and the scales of dealers in salt and t,bacco.
Some of the regulations deserve attention in this coun
try, though they are more applizable to the modes of
living and cookery of Paris. The Ordinance in quell-
lion directs frequent inspections to be made of the cop-
per- Vessels and utensils employed by wine-sellers,
cooks, innkeepers, reskuratem, pastry • coo Its, pot*.
butchers, &c. within tl:e jurisdiction of the Police, for
the purpose Of ascertaining their salubrity. All such
vessels and utensils as may be found spotted with ver-
digris shall beseized and sent to the Office of Police.
AR wine-sellers are forbidden to use reservoirs coated
with lead, the dealers in salt and tobacco to employ
copper scales, and cowkeepers and milk and cs earts-
sellers to deposit milk in copper vessels, under penalty
of confiscation and a fine of Mfr. The dealess gilt
and tobacco are to use Oolitic%

The Funds have been heavy for several days•pasti*
which is attributed to various causes. In the Cast
place, the money for the prizes in the ensuing Lot.
tery is all purchased. fn the second place, the Com.
missioners will bring less during the ensuing qtrart:r,
which commences to-morrow, by £83,500 add: evi r c
Jay. Tn the third place, some dissatisfaction L •
manifested itself at the Bank for some days past, ~•
the opening of an account with Commisiioners atn,,f
in the Act passed at the close of the last sessions of
Parliament for transferring all sums of Stock in the
Public Funds, on which no interest has been de.
mantled for ten years, together with the dividends
due thereon. It was generally understood that the
amount of the dividends, which is considerable, Would
be invested in stock for the benefit of the Proprietors;
but owing to the great deficiency in the Revenue, the
Ctraucauma of the Excurousn has, we understand,
given directions to the Bank to carry all such stuns to
the credit of the Commissioners, and intends to ap.
propriate the whole to the service of the current year,
to cover the falling off in the Revenue.

Our Readers will perceive, from the List of Sob.
scribers to the Benevolent Fund for the Relief of the
Labouring Poor, that humanity is as much alive as
ever in this highly favoured Empire.—lndividuals,
whose circumstances will not admit of their subsctib.
ing, may nevertheless aid the good cause by giving
employment to as many Labourers as they possibly
can. A plan of this kind has been adopted by the
Market Gardeners to the Westward ti the Metropolis,
which is highly praise.worthy, and we mention it
that it may excite imitatii n. The late inclement
weather prevented them f:o7n employing in their
grounds, or in carrying the produce to market, the
great numbers of labouring poor, chiefly females,
who annually visit them from distant counties.
—Many of these industrious creatnres must have
starved or taken to vicious courses, if their case had
not been taken into consideration. It was therefore
agreed, that such employment as,there was in the
grounds should be equally divided among them, acid
that they should work only on alternate days. TI .e
private families in the neighbourhcod cooperated in
this plan, by giving household work in the inter 'e.
diate days to such as were then unemployed. The
plan has succeeded perfectly, and now that the season
has become rather more favourable, the individuals
in question are 'no longer burdensome to the neigh.
bourhood, for they have resumed their usual employ.
ments in the fields.

Much might aho be done, we apprehend, tc, give
preient employment to the Poor, and produce an
abundance of food during the ensuing winter, if
landed Proprietors, great and small, from the over-
grown possessor of thousands of acres, down to the
owner of a mt.te cabbage-garden, would sedulously
cultivate every patch of ground, now waste or useless.
Cabbages, turnips, carrots, and potatoes, for the ma-
ter, ought to be planked on such spots, and if an in-
ch:meta tinter should sti.:ceed, an ample fund of
Philanthropy and benevolence will be provided at a
small CNI)C11:.-, for plautcr has only to make pre-
b'etits of the pioduce to the poor around l.im, au/
one shilling thus expended now will be worth potinas
in winter, in addition to the reflection, chit he Ilas
laid up treasures in a place g where thieves du
not break in and steal," and which no vicissituks i;t
season can reach.

The private letters front Paris state that advices I:vd
been received there via Constantinople, of the to:1
defeat of the British army in India by trte Nepaulete.
The report is nut very;.credible ; the channel thow,:h
which it has retched us being rather quottionable.—

of arms and military stores, and they also had on
board many volunteers going to join the M exican
patriots. •
Two British brigs of war, called the Royalist and
teptida, at Vera Cruz, had offered their services to
the Spanish Governor to act against the InJepen -
Lie; ts, and had left the port to cruize against the pri-
vateers of the latter. It is stated, that the motive of
this offer was an expectation to receive permission to
take in silver for Europe;
On the 15th February an Edict of the Incrisition
bad been promulgated in Mexico, prohibiting, under
the severest penalties, the perusal of all works pub-

which country intercourse was very frequent.
