by Sir F. Burdett as ever he had. done 11 the " Im-
mortal Pitt." Scotch modesty had hitherto prevented
him from speaking •in public. This was his first,
speech, but now that he had come forward he would
not fail to oppose Mr. Hunt. He (Mr. Armstrong)
was St. George—(He. had the words " St. George" on
his hat)--and by- St. George he siouldbeat the Dragon.
Mr. G. JONES spoke, bat could not obtain a hear-

A Flanders Mail arrived at a late hour last night,
and brought Brussels Papers to the 17th inst. The
Persian Ambassador, on his way to this country,
reached Vienna with his suit, on the Ist inst. He
bad with him eighteen fine horses—six of which are
intended as a Present to the Emperor FRANCIS, six
to LOUIS XVIII. and six to the PRINCR

The accounts from Spain, brought by this Mail,
mention the arrival of a vessel at Cadiz from Lima
direct, the Letters by which have excited great un- '
easiness. " Our situation," says one of them, "is
become very tXrilous. We are threatened with a
speedy and formidable attack from the Independents,
who seem resolved on the greatest efforts to make
themselves masters of all Peru. To resist their pro-
jeers, we should have a much greater force than the
Viceroy has at his disposal. If the mother country
does not immediately send us a sufficient number of
troops of the line, it is to be feared that the ancient
empire of the Incas will soon,be under the iron yoke
of those who proclaim themselves defenders of liberty.
:.lany considerable houses are converting their pro.
perty into money, and are preparing to embark with
it on the first opportunity."

The Paris Papers orWednesday arrived this forenoon.
The debate in the Chamber of Deputies, on the Bill
for altering the term of the financial year, was con-
cluded on Tuesday ; and on being prtit-to the vote, it
,was passed by amajority of 132 to 100. The strength
of the minority was worthy of the Constitutional
principles on which they acted on this occasion.
It Was expected that on Wednesday three impor.
tant Bills would,be brought forward by Ministers—
one respecting the Trial by Jury, another for the re-
pression of the Delicts of the Press, and a third re-
garding the Public Journals. The best thing, we
think, which the latter could wish, would be to be
left without any special law at all respecting them.

The city of Montpelier has been lately the scene uf
a very serious commotion, occasicned by the disor-
derly conduct of the Students attending the Univer-
sity. For some time past, they had been in the prat-'
rice of resorting in large bodies to the Theatre, and
interrupting the performances; till at length It be-
came necessary to introduce some Bens d'armes. A
general battle ensued, which happily, however, ended
in the triumph of the Authorities, and the expulsion
of the t,ffenders, two of whom were wounded.
The Meeting of the States of Bavaria, under the new
Constitution, continues to be the subject of several
interesting articles of intelligence from Munich. Some
animated debates have already taken place, relating
chiefly to tke publicity of the Sittings of the Assem-
bly, to which it has been wisely resolved, there shall
be no restriction whatever.

The scruples which the Catholic Prelates enter-
tained about taking the benefit of the new order of
things, have been happily overcome, through the
mediation of .the Papal Nuncio, who has declared
that the oath required from them of fidelity to the
Constitution, could have no relation to their religious
opinions, but merely to matters of a civil nature; they
have accordingly now taken the oaths and their seats.
'--Among the Members of the Commons are a great
many literary men—such as ARITIN, the political
writer, Professor Soenna, author of several esteemed
philosophical works ; MeooLa, the mathematician ;
WITSCHRL, the Poet; NEUBAUER, STRPHANI, arc:
The whole of the Members of both Chambers were
en the 9th instant invited by the KING to a grand
dinner at the Palace, at which they met all the dif-
ferent branches of the Royal Family, and Ministers
of State. His MaJr.ery, filling a golden vase with
native wine of Bavaria, gave as a toast—" Prosperity
to Bavaria and to the Assembly of the Bavarian
States." The Members of the States replied to it by
enthusiastic acclamations of " Long Lire the King and
his August House." How much is it to be regretted
that all Kings are not alike sensible to the pure de-
lights of such a national family scene I .
The Emperor of AUSTRIA has issued an Ordinance.
re-establishing in Carinthia, the ancient.Representa-
tiVe Constitution which it enjoyed till 1809, when
that Duchy was separated for a time from the Um-
pire. His MAJzsiT would have done better to have
given them a new Constitution ; as the old one hap-
pens to be scarcely good for any thing. It still leans
,the EILIIMA the abselote power of impish% the

..

taxis ; sad 611 that it allows the State to do, is to sr-
range the mpartition of the sum his BionsTv may
demand of them, in the best way they cane and to
take special care that his servants do not collect more
than their master has asked. The States of Carin-
thia are in fact no better than a lioard of Assessors.
The Ilanovarian Diet continues its Sittings; and
if we may credit an article from Carlsruhe, the
Minister is about to submit to it the plan of a new
establishment.
The Diet of the Grand Duchy of Weimar, which
has been assembled for some time at the little town
of Dornbourg, ii said to have been very actively
engaged, but with what, has not been reported.
The Government of the Grand Duchy of Hesse
Darmstadt has been reproached fer not having yet
followed the example of so many of its neighbours,
in the establishment of Provincial States. The delay
is said to be owing to some particular circumstances,
connected with the codsolidation of the ,old and new
Provinces, and net to any want of liberality in the
Government, which has accorded to the press greater
liberty than it enjoys in any other part of Germany.
As for Prussia, the day of emancipation seems still
as distant as ever. Denied the Constitution, which
the KING solemnly promised his People many years
ago, a large standing army is the only consolation
which they have for the want of that freedom to
which they aspire.

avow, the Comedian, to be divorced from his wife,
upon the ground of bis non-age at the time of his
marriage with her. The argument for the applica,

REFUGE FOR TILE DESTITUTTUESday, between
two and three hundred Gentlemen met at the City of
London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to celebrate the
Twelfth Anniversary of this truly ,benevolent Insti-
tution. About 7 o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke
of YORK took the Chair, having the Earl of LITER..
POOL on his right hand, and Lord Stnuotren on his
left. After an elegant dinner, and many appropriate
songs, the Annual Revolt statO, that above 1,240
persons had already been admitted into this Asylum
since its commencement, the greater part of whom,

after some years' probation, were completely re-
claimed, and many of them were decently settled in
the world, and leading exemplary lives for probity,
industry, and every social virtue, though some of
them had been redeemed from the gallows, ethers
from transportation, and all of them from the most
wretched state of misery and distress. About a
thousand pounds were subscribed on the occasion,
amongst those who contributed most liberally,
we were happy to find—a ranked man. Several
excellent speeches were delivered, and the good effects
of lenient measures clearly demonstrated.

Q. Do you decline to give any account of £500?-4. _
but I do net decline it out of tdisrespect to the Conunisebet..,
or to the claims of justice.
A variety of °this questions were propounded to him at the

sot of which he states bad debts £l5OO, rent and taxes trO,
gobg in £100? stolen in the shop £4OO, forged notes £BO, ant
Ober losses to the amount of .61060: It would be proved th..t
As prisoner6 kept no books, and that he destroyed all his bills it
. The next thing be did was to have three days sale in
m which would not hold more than twelve people, and its
pods sold on those occasions amounted to nearly £5OOO. pus
limey was handed over to the prisoner, to be accounted for to
bill creditors, but instead of this, £BOO in Bank-notes was paid
bto the Book of England, endorsed with the nand of " C.

J. Eestoe, shopatan to Messrs. Edenborough and Co. proded
dot, in September, 1817, he sold the prisoner goods to the
isaount of £5OO. The credit expired in three months.
J. Tillyer, Clerk to-the Commissioners of Bankrupts, proved,
that the prisoner did not attend the two first Meetings, and that
on the third and subsequent days his answers were extremely
evasive • and several witnesses prod!the facts detailed by du
Leillbe4 Counsel in his opening speech.
The prisoner left his defence to his Counsel.
Mr. Serjeant Conde took an objection in point of law for Lim,
