1'111: KING 4. !ICBM* ROPER.

This defendant, who it will be recollected, was
convicted st•me time since d wilful and corrupt per-
jury. in answer to a bill of discovery tiled by certain
LTii,:erwritin, in the Court of Exchequer, with an in-
tention of d,rirauding the said Underwriters, was
brought n;) to rtceive the sentence of the Court.
The Court adjudged 'him to be imprisoned three
months in New gate, and at the expiration of that time,

1-11 OH COURT OF JUSIICIARY, Enwivicg, lu•[ct I.

The Court proceeded to the trial of Andrew Zr Kin-
ky, accused of administering unlawful oaths. Mr-
Cita NaTouN, /Nti GRANT, and Mr. CLERK, were
Leard ayanist the relevancy of the libel, and Mr.
DausisioNo in support of it. The Lotus itaTICE
CLERK stated, that au objection bad occurred to the
Cowl, which had been oveilooked by the prisoner's
mnbel ; it related to a difference in the conclusion of
indictment, from the fact stated hi the major pro-
position—the one stating the oath actually to bind,
the person taking it to commit cream; ; the other,
in the words of the Act, purporting• and intending
only to trinJ to commit treason. The Court utiani.
rnously concurred with his Lordship. The LORD,
ADVOCATE then deserted the diet against the prisoner,
and intimated his intention of indicting hintanew upon
another (third) indictment. The prisoner was cum
:flitted upon a new warrant. The Loan JUSTICE CLERK
afterwards stated, that the Court would consider them-
selv;:s as bound to construe the oath according to the'
common acceptation of, the words—they were not
called upon to say by the Act of Parliament, whether
it bound the party taking it to commit treason. but
whether it purported or intended so to bind t

A SINGULAR CASE.
MANSION Hosea.—Yesterday the Driver of a Grernwich
Coach appeared before the loan MAYOR, to answer the follow-
ing extraordinary charge:—A Mr. Kruse and his wife took their
*eats In the coach, in Gracechureh-street, on Tuesday, ha the
purpose of going to Deptford on business. They were told by
the Coachman that he would set oaf at the usual hour, but were
delayed iu Gracreourchatreet upwards of thy minutes bend

on his horses; but Rotted of driving ID the direction of London

that be was turning bit back to the direct road, he expressed his
Wonder ai the iguorance of the complainants, Woo did not know
that the pavement of London Bridge was ep, and at course
coaches could not go that way. '1 he complaiusats were satisfied
to go along Ulackirlars Bridge; but finding Dial the driver turned
into Ntwgate-street, they again told him that he was is error,
but received no satisfactory answer until the coach stopped at
the ()doper street Colorer. Ihe Driver then assured the com-
plainest' that he would but delay a few moments, in order to
take up some vatudirle !wage destined for a rer:2l: !By !
this date a great crowd ot peuple had assembled about the coach. !
The complement. were at a ton to account for the curiosity that
prevailed, until twelve femme convicts, with their irons rattling
about them, issued from the Compter, and were mowed iiway
in and about the coach. their conversation nonsuiting either of
the complainants, the dickey was chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Kruse;
but *lithos that the driver had also to pay a visit to Nee/gate,
where he was to get is gage of the same kind, and peegeivtng that
the eyes of the mob were not qualified to discrimioate between

THE UNKNOIPW FOREIGNER.

TO THE EDITOR.

SIR —The present inexplicable appearance of
young Female Foreigner, in the vicinity of Bristol.
having excited considerable curiosity, I request you
will be so obliging as to insert these particulars, with
the hope that by sucll a general dissemination, they
may be read by swfie who have observed such a
female, and ultimately lead to the developement of
those circumstances which have placed a most in-
teresting *male in a situation truly distressing.
I iim. Sir, your's, • C. H. WILKINSON.
Butliagto; street, Bath, June 1.

About two months since, a female presented herself
at the door of a cottage at Almondsbury. near Bris-
tol ; the door being open, and a couch in view, she
made signs of a wish to repose herself. She appeared
In a very debilitated and distressed condition, as it ex-
twisted by much fatigue. The cottager:, not com-
prehending her language, reported her case to tire.
Worrell, who resides about a mile from Almondsbury,
and that Lady kindly visited, and gave orders for the
most humane attention to be paid to her. Her lan-
guage was equally unknown to Mrs. W. ; but her ap-
pearance and graceful manners so interested that lady,
that she took her under her own roof, where she has
since experienced the most unremitting kindness. Her
head is small ; her eyes and hair are black; her eye-
brows finely arched ; the forehead low ; nose rather
short; complexion very triflingly sallow, meter more
corresponding .to a brunette, with a pleasing colour
on the cheeks ; a sweet smile ; her mouth rather large;
her teeth beautifully *trite and regular ; her lips a
little prominent and full, under lip rather projecting;
her chin small and round ; noear-rings, but marks of
having worn them; her hands unaccustomed to labour;
in height five feet two inches. Her dress consisted of
a black stuff gown with a muslin trill round the neck;
a black cotton shawl on the head, and one red and
black round the shoulders ; leather shoes, and black
worsted stockings. She appears to be about twenty-
five years of age; her manners are exceedingly grace-
ful ; her countenance surprisingly fascinating; Such
is the general effect on all who behold her, that, if be-
fore suspected as an impostor, the sight of her re-
moves ail doubt. Her mode of diet seems to be
Hin-
doostanic, as she lives principally on vegetables, and
is very partial to curry ; she will occasionally take
fish, but no other animal food ; water is her be-
verage; end she expresses great disgust at the ap-
pearance of wine, spirits, or of any intoxicating li-
quors; whatever she eats, she prepares herself. She
is extremely neat in her attire, is very cautious in
her conduct with respect to gentlemen, never allows
them to take hold of her hand, and even if their
cloaths should casually come into contact with her's,
she retires from them ; when she takes leave of a gen-
tleman, it is by the application of the right hand to
the right side of the forehead, and, in like manner, in
taking leave of a lady, it is with the left hard. She
appears to be devout, and on a certain day of the
week is anxious to go to the 'top of the house, and
there to pay adoration to the sun from the rising to
the setting. She casually saw a dagger ; and, as if
auxious to inform her kind patroness of all the cus-
toms of her cour.try, which she calls javara, she
placed the dagger tuber right side. She fences with
great dexterity, holding the sword in her right hand
and the dagger in her left. She is very fond of
bathing, and swims and dives with considerable- ee:i.
vity. She carries about with her a cord, on which
some knots are made, like the Chinese abaarr. which
afterwards gave rise to the sliding beads, the taw
puon. She writes with greet facility from left to
ii,t,ht, as we are'accustorned. She has made Mrs.
‘Vorrall understand that in her country neither pens
nor paper are used ; but what is supposed to be a
camel hair pencil and a species of papyrus. Soon
after her resufmce at .Mrs. Woirill's house, she was
attacked with a typhus fever, and was placed under
the care of Mr. Mortmnre, an eminent Surgeon of
Bristol. Upon her recovery, pleased as she must
have been at his kind an corstant attention to her,
she wrote Fr-. a letter of cheeks, calling him, as a
Dieter, and herself Caralcl. All the assis-
tante to be derived from a Poiyglott Eible,Fry's Pan-
tographia, or Dr. nager's Elementary Characters of
the Chinese, do not enable us to ascertain either the
nature of her Lngeage, or the country to which she
beings one or two characters bear 'some reseal-
blame to the Chinese, particularly the Chinese cho,
a reed : there are more characters which have some
similitude to the Greek. Different publications have
been skew!: to her in Greek, isitlay, Chinese. Shans.
crit, Arabic, and Persie ; but with all she appears
entirely unacquainted. Her letter has been :hewn to
every person in Bath and Bristol, versed rn Oriental
literat ere, but wi•Lov.. success ; a copy was sent to
the India House, and subrntted by the Chairman of
that Company to the examination of Mr. Raffles, one
of the best oriental scholar:, yet he could not decy-
pher it: the original letter was sent to Oxford, and
, the Members of that University denied its being the
character of any language : it has been by some
conjectured as being an imperfect Jevanese: others
have supposed it the style of ibe Malay of Suma-
tra. From my own observation, although en-
tirely onicquainted with any single character of her
'writing, I have deemed her more resembling a Cir-
mums—her countenance, her complexion, and her
manners, favour such a supposition ; and probably
her appearance here may be connected with the
Corsairs who have been hovering about our coast.
She has by signs intimated, that she was on boat d a
:lip, and so ill treated, that when she came within
siKtit of land she jumped overboard and swam ashore.
She silo in the same manner expressed that she n as iii
on board, had her her cut off, and an cperati,..n on the
back performed. I examined the part: it had been
scarified, but not according to the English mcde of
cupping, or to any European manner with which I
am acquainted. The incisiolis are extremely reeu
ler, and have, apparently, been made by the caustic,
A mode of cupping which is adopted In the East.
The Smits!' &v.:6 .he styles Alloh-Tailah. All who
have seen her are hisfily interested about her. A fac-
simile of her letter is placed in the Kingston Pump-,
room for examination. I beg leave to observe, that
I have seen her write, and she writes with grace and
facility.
P.S. Since writing the above, I have been informed
of the following circumstances :—Caraboo quitted
Mrlh 'Worrall's house !or one whole day, to prosure
a fee/ clothes, which she signified to Mrs. W. that
ate had butittl, to ccnixal them from the Mackratoor

(rognes) $ the distance mast hate been sa3nsiderable,
as her feet were blistered; and the violent illness
which followed was owing to the fatigue. Mrs.Wor-
rail, whose opportunities of observation have neces-
sarily been superior to those of any other person, is
persuaded that her father is Chinese, and that her
mother, who is dead, was Malay ; that her father's
name is Jerre Mensdue, and that he is a man of consi-
derable consequence in his own country; Caraboo
describes a gold chain he wears about his neck.
