MANSION Hotnna--Pireastent ibtantio---Allesinder Andrade,
F. the Portuguese Consul, attended yesterday at this Office,
to prefer a complaint against one Manuel Francine (apparently
a seaman, and in rags), for wilful vagrancy and inaposition.---The
prisoner was one of those foreigners who had been for a short
time in the British service, and discharged. Since that pericd
he had betaken himself toldieriess, drinking, and vagrancy, and
on several- occaslons bad applied at the r FE; of th,.! Car sat, af-
fecting great distress tad soliciting relief. ILI story beng cre-
dited he was frequently assisted with clothes, moncy, &c. and
every exertion used to proeur: hint a ship in which he nilkhe
conveyed to his native country. 'Oils was in two bounces sv-
cured, and every cowfon provided for his voyage; but ir.stoad
of embracing the opportunity he absconded, and no sooner had
the vessels sailed for Portugal, than he was again found wan-
dering in the streets, the assumed object of conarniseration,l
hungry, and naked. In this character he had been on :rtuiny oc.l
casions brought before the Magistrates, and generally obtained
temporary relief. On Ttiesday he once more ventured to apply
to the Consul, under an impression that his appearance, reduced
and metamorphosed as it was, would prevent recognition ; but
he was instantly discovered, and his tale, though told upon his
knees, was of so hypocritical a nature, that he was given in
charge. The Consul wished these facts to be known, not only
because the city of London was crowded with impostors, bat as
the Consuls of foreign countries had been accused of want of hu►
inanity and attention to their suffering countrymen-
The Loan Maven thought the public indebted to Mr. Ani,
rade for having brought the prisoner to justice, and ordered kin
to be sent to the House of Correction for one month, to be dealt
with as he merited.
