PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 14.

The Paragon has coasted front Cabo Btnco to
Cape St. Roque ; and has betn at anchor in three
chtfcrent places, viz. six miles north of Paribia,
Trees= Bay, and Bahia Formosa ; and has looked
into every bay and harbour, and has found the Pur
fugues. Bag hoisted. There could not be obtained
any information of an army any where brionging to
the Patriotsof Brazil. The POI tuguefir have several
ships at Pernambuco, one at Tamaricu, a schooner
at Parabia, and a biigantine at Rio Grande de Mirth.
The Havannah Government Journal, of the 81h
of September. contains a Proclamatibn by the Go.
vernor of Mexico, dated the 12th of July, in a long
preamble to which he states how little the Royal Go.
vernment has to fear from " the hopeless condition of
the traitors Mina, Mier, Toyres, and Moreno."—
It concludes with the following murderer : _

1. Noes shall aide, mkt b aoy wit the traitor Mina, ander
malty of death, and the confiscation of his property, ass eird,
of whkb shag ko Into the Royal treasury, one-third towards do;
Raying the impose of the army, and thy ether third to ties in.

issoder, or to the Royal *dims shall rendre a mead of five

S. Was person who spprobends lint be * soldier, be shall be

reward.

4. One hundred dollars will be given for the apprehension of
every follower of the uakor Mina; and, whoever of than shall'
velentarlly return to his duty, shall, in oddities. have full pardon.
11. Fifty &Dan and a free pardon shall be given to every rebel
who shall deliver himself with his anus, to any of the loyal
Commander% oe. any of the Courts of Justice.
From this it would appear, that the situation of
Mina and bis band of Patriotc, is not so desperate u
`She Government have represented. it.

- The Paris lispers of Tuesday arrived this morn-.
iag. The Chambers wain to meet next day, and in
expactation, it would appear of some beneficial results

a sensible advance. On Modday the 5 per Cents had

By the Paris Papers of Mondiy it appears, that
TALLEYRAND has resumed his functions as Grand
Chamberlain.

An article from Petershnrgh in the same papers,
repeats the intelligence, that the Emperor of Cute*
has testified his desire of having resident Foreign
Ministers at his Ceurt, and adds, that the Emperor
of Ruasts had deteimined upon sending a Minister
Plenipotentiary to Pekin. In the same article we are
told. that General YERSIALOFF, tne Russian Ambits.
sador to Persia, bad been received, after passing the
Persian frontiers, with great distinction: Besides the
general purpose of this mission to maintain a good
understanding between Russia and Persia, it is stated,
that the Ambassador bes private instructions, that the
mission embraces objects relating to commerce and
the sciences, and that several Of were to quit
the Legalise at Ispaban to proceed into the territo.

Persia and the British possessions in the East Indies,

out as the ostensible object of these missions, but it
is impossible to view Such an approximation of Rus•
Irian diplomac to our East Indian possessions, without
considerable feelings of jealooiy and apprehension.
The intelligence from Madrid speak of the diffe-

BZIH, NOVEMBER 5.

At nine o'clock this morning, ber biantsry was
conveyed in a chair, attended by two footmen, to the
Pump•room. Sir HENRY HaLenin) was in waiting
to receive her Hamra', and the Princess Euzanarn
and Lady Li-enures followed in a private carriage.
The centre pare of the room was encircled-with a rail-
ing, covered with scarlet, and the floor was laid down
with a tasteful oil-cloth. On the Quern's entrance,
she proceeded to the vestibule, and the female in
waiting presented her MAJESTY with a glaze of water.
which she drank. The Princess ELIZABETH likewise
took some, as well as Lady Iwnerraa. Her MA..
Jure stayed but a sheet time in the room, and re-
turned to her house in the same carriage with the
Princess Eunerrn and Lady lucnarrast.
The people having by this time numerously as-
sembled in the church-yard, they made a respectful
passage for the Royal Visitors, and followed them
with hearty greetings.
About noon the state carriages were again out, and
conveyed the QUEEN and the Royal Party to Clever-
ton Down.

Sir Joule BORLASZ WARREN' embarked this morn-
ing on board the Flora, Captain Wsrsox, for Calais;
and Lnrd RANCLIM in the Lady Jane James, fur
the same port.
A melancholy accident happened in Falmouth har-
bour on Friday aliening. As Captain Moms, of
the Albion, of Ilfracombe, was going ashore, with
two of his men, a violent squall upset the boat, ow-
ing to the sheet being imprudently 'fastened, and the
passengers were all precipitated into the water. Ooe
of the men was unfortunately drowned, leaving a
wife and two children to lament his fate. Captain
Mentam clung to the gunnel of the boat, and the
other men held by his leg, until a boat from St.
Mawe's (being the first of several that pot off to their
assistance) happily rescued them, when nearly ex-
hausted, from their perilous situation.
The following is an Extract of a Letter from a
Field Officer in the Portuguese service, transmitted
by a mercantile House in Lisbon to their Correspon-
dents in Glasgow, as containing the best information
respecting the state of military affairs on the frontiers
'of Spain and Portugal. It sheers how strong the im-'
Fabian of impending hostilities was on the spot :
" PORTALEGRE, SIIPTASIBIR 30.
le You will perhaps be surprised to I•ear that my
wife is busy packing up, in case of a hasty warning,
to depart foe Lisbon ; although I am still of opinion
that it will not be necessary. The fact is, that the
Spaniards are collected in considerable force on the
frontiers ; I believe in our neighbourhood, in Estre
niadura, they have from 15 to 20,000 men ; in this
is included all the train of an army ready to take the
field; artillery, cavalry, sappers, miners, &c. dec.—
k:)'Dcanell, Conde de Abisbal, commands in chief,
and certainly their appearance indicates hostile inten-
aims. The Portuguese Government have taken the
most hasty measure to put their garrisons in a state
of defence, arse! unite their forces. The militia in this I
province are *ailed our, receiving pay, a thing never
done but on the greatest emergencies; and one bat-
talion of them from Villa Viciosa has already marched
into Campo Major, and another into Fort la Lippe,
at Elves, to form the garrisons. All leave, of ab-
sence are recalled, and the Officers ordered to join
forthwith ; and! have orders to be ready to march
at a moment's notice, which will certainly take place
the moment our Commanding Officer sees a move-
ment among the Spaniards;, indeed, from appear-
ances, I should not be astonished to be ordered out
to-morrow. The causes that have led to these hasty
indications of war, I am at a loss to account for, un-
less it is the Portuguese continuing to keep ome
Video, contrary to the wishes of Ferdinand; hut you
in Lisbon are more likely to know the motives than
we are in the interior."

ST4A-PRISONEIirif DERBY.
DERBY; VMS. DM(' , NOVEMBER s.
This morning Munn Turner took leave of his
relations. No fewer than eleven waked on him to bid
him a last farewell. His father is confined to his bed
by sickness, but his aged mother, whom he had not
expected to see, was one of the melancholy gronpe.
Two brothers, a sister, a krother's wife, and stveral
of his nephews, were of the party. They remained
with him a considerable time, and parted from him
in an agony which sets all description at defiance.—
He displayed more fortitude than might have been
expected, judging of him from bis previous conduct,
and when they were gone, he appeared consoled by
the reflection that he had had an opportunity of see.
ing so many of his fti.nds for the last time.
Mr. Picketing, the Chaplain, is unremitting in his
attentions. He visited the prisoners this forenoon.—
When he saw Brandreth, he questioned him respect-
ing his former life and connections, but the answers
he received were geaerally little to the purpose. The
unhappy man is, if any change can be remarked in
him, more reserved than ever. On an inquiry being
made as to the character and situation of his parents,
he begged to be excused, and said on that subject he
must be allowed to be silent. His beard he still re-
tains, and he declares it to be his intention to die
with it. On the subject of the murder he offers no
explanation. His guilt or innocence in that respect
he asserts to be a question between Con and his own
soul. He is not satisfied that he thculd be cendemn•
ed for that crime, as he maintains it was not proved
on the trial to have been committed j:sy him. Whelk
reminded by the Chaplain of the strong evidence
given on the trial against him as the murderer, his
answer was, e, No one saw me do it ;" and to the
observation which this called forth, " that such proof
had been afforded, by those who were near hun at
the time, as lest no doubt on the subject," he coolly
replied, " that none of the witnesws could prove it,
for he did not see hoe: those who were in front of tl.e
house could know what was passing at the hack."—
Nothing more satisrectory on this head could be ex-
toned from him.

It has been said that Brandreth is a native of Ire-
land, and that at different periods of his life he has
got his bread as a drover, a whitesmith, a sailor, and
a stocking-maker. That he has filled the last three
characters seems to be distinctly ascertained ; bet he '
is generally thought to be an Exeter man. In the
very brief accounts which he has given of himself, he
has said he was sent to school by his parents when
young, and might bete received a good education,
had he been disposed to profit by the opportunities
afforded him for acquiring knowledge. He'possesses
a vigorous, but uncultivated mind.
When the Chaplain enters(' that part /if the prison
where Turner and Ludlam are confined, both eagerly
askeJ with an affecting anxiety, how Brandreth WAS
in his mind t —and whether he was duly sensible of
the crime he had committed in depriving a fellow-
creature of life ? The Reverend Gentleman was of
coarse obliged to reply to these questions, that Bran-
dretb, though open to religious impressions—thougrl
repentant in the main fur the sins of his past life, was
less affected by the recollection of the murder he had
committed than might be wished. Ot the enormity
of his conduct in that particular case, he was not
duly sensible, and the blood of his victim did not
press very heavily on his mind. Ludlam and Turner
listened with great attention to the statement which
their questions called forth, and both expressed much
regret that their fellow sufferer was not more awake
to the guilt which had attached to his conduct. They
had feared such was the fact ; they sincerely mourn-
ed his insensibility, and hoped his eyes might yet be
opened to see his crime in its proper light. For
themselves they appeared better prepared for the last
awful, scene, than they had been at any prev.ious in-
terview. Turner was very penitent, and most ear-
nest in his devotions. He 'expr ssed a wish to be
furnished with a small prayer-book, Mhich tie propos-
ed to give to his sister Alice. Such a memoiial of
him he was satisfied she would like to receive, and
he trusted, with the blessing of the ALsoctrry, she
would derive more bendit front a Look given to fur
under such circumstances, than from one of which
she might possess herself by any means. Mr..Pick-
eying kindly gratified him in this, by presenting hint
'with a prayer book, %%hie) he received with proper
feelings of thankfulness. A similar request was pre-
leered by Isaac Ludlam. lie was anxious to have
it in hi.; power to present a small religious book to a
son, who now lives at home with his mother. The
Chaplain had net the bot,l: at hand to give, but he
promised to purchase it for him without less of time.
It is alnuist superfluous to say, that with this as xr-
ance the unfortunate man was satisfied. He seemed
to be deeply penetrated with gratitude by the bene-
volent attentions paid to his in this respect, as
well as in every other.
The afflicting interview which yesterday took place
between Ludlam and his wile and daughter, was in-
tended to be their last. He, however, cannot be con-
tent to meet his fate till he has beheld them once
more. la consequence of his having expressed a
particular wish to see them again, they are to pay
another visit to the prison to-morrow, when they
must bid him a last farewell, as it will not be consi-
dered proper to suffer his thoughts to be disfurf,ed
during the few moments that remain to him on Fri-
day, by the shock which a new interview must infllct
on his agitated mind in the last solemn hour of pre-
puation for eternity.

About half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning
the Bah and Biistol mail-coach was completely upset
into a deep and broad ditch on the side of the road,
a mile and a half beyond Reading. There were four
inside and two outside passengers with the coach at
the time the accident occurred; and, fortunately, the
whole of them escaped without receiving any mate-
rial injury. The guard was not so tortutute—he had

APPEAL OP MURDER.
WILLIAM Ammar; v. AIIRAMASI
It will be in the recollection of the publit, that
Abraham Thornton was tried at the last Warwick.
shire Assizes on an indictment for the wilful murder
of a young woman, named Mary Ashford, who Was
found drowned'in a pit of water, under circumstances
of extraordinary suspicion. On that occasion the
Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Since which,
it became matter of general report, that the next re-
lative of the deceased, intended to put in motion the
ancient law of England, which gives the subject a
right to prefer an Appeal of Murder in this Court,
in such cases. This report seems to have been eon-
firmed. A Writ of Appeal having been directed to
the Sheriff of Warwickshire, in the ancient form,
and a Writ of Habeas Corpus having also been
issued to that Officer, commanding him to bring
up the body of Abraham Thornton on the first day
of this Mfr.

Mr. CLARICE now knoved that the prisoner be
br.nintir into Coon, to plead to the boont of appeal.
The Sheriff accordingly brought in his prisoner,
who heiug placed on the floor of the Court,
Mr. I.l.tatow, Secynclai y in the Crown Oftee,

SESSIONS,
• IWCharles Blair, Saw - and Geary Payne, who
were tried and conerited yesterday for robbing their
masters, Messrs. Wyatt and Son, of fio9 gatirms of
ale, were this morning again put to t!,e bar, along
with Luke Caine, cm another indictmekt, for stealing
seventy two gallon; of ale, also the property of Messrs.
Wyatt and Sttn. brewers.
Toe Ctrutrs.4 inr the prosecution called ro evidence
in this case, and the ptistiners were Acqu4tc.l.
Ch.oles Male And Lake Win: were again put trt
the bar 011.anotIter itidi:trrent. for stealing seventy
two gallons of ale, also the property of Messrs.
Wyatt and Son.
Mr. Amax stated the ease to the Jury.
_

Abraham Hudson, a storehouse cleric to Messrs.
Wyatt, roved that Blake anJ Collins wire drayn►eo
to the firm. In May last the prisoners took out two
barrels of ale from the storehouse in John's Mews,
%hid) was more than t! e regular order. Previous
to that day, they told him they knew a publican who
would take a barrel or two of ale. Two burets
above the regular load were taken up at the time
mcntione,!, at the storehouse, and carried to the pub-
I can. Len Blake returned at night, he odd wit-
ness he had left the ale at Salmon's, and was to cal:
fur the money another time.
Cross•eaamined.—He would not swear that Blake
did not act with otlitr draymen besides Collins;
there are six ale draymen id the employment. He
went with Blake and Collins on the day owntioned.
It was his duty to tell the draymen what quantity of
ale they were to take Gout. %Witness was taken up
for sobbing his master, aifel to save himselt he would
put the rope round the necks of the prisoners. Blake,
the foreman of the dray, not being able to read,
witness told him what the proper load was. Collins
was in the cellar. The prisoner knew that the two
barrels were extra.

Thema Salmon is a publican, and keeps the White
Horse in Brick-lane. He knows Blake. He had
two b.,rtels of ale braight by hint, between reAcil
and eight o'clock in the morning. He thought Mr.
Wyatt had sent them. He had not ordered them.
He asked Blake who sea them ? and he replieJ, his
master. Mr. Wyatt has sent him two barrels of am-
ber at a time, without his having ordered them. He
had no recollection of Collins having been at his
house at any time. In about a month after the de,
livery of the two barrels mentioned, Blake came to
his house, aid said be came to be paid for them, and
that the Statehouse Clerk wanted the money. Wit-
ness said l:e never paid any money bnt to Messrs.
Wyatt's CAlecting Cierk. In about six weeks after,
the met prisoner, Mho asked again for payment for
ttlie two barrels of ale. Wittiess sald'he had the ale,
'and shoull tell Mr. Wyatt of;it. To which prisoner
replied, 6 Do not hang me—say nothing about it—
and I till take it back again in cday.or two." He
always paid the Collecting Clerk; but he never got
a receipt fur the two barrels in question; he never
paid fur them ; they were taken away by Mr. Blew.
When the prisoner Blake first came for payment of
the ale, he said the Storehouse Clerk wished him to
get the money, as lie was to have part of it.
Hat% the COMMON SELLTEANT stopped the proceed-
ings, saying, he was sorry the last witness was not in.
' chided in the iniictment. He said the Jary cried'
not find a verdict against the prisoners at the bar
Drum the evidence before them; they were therefore
entitled to their acquittal. Verdict—Not Guilty.
Mr. Al LEY told Salmon, th.tt he should certainly
be inected fur preventing his wife's attendance at
'Court as a witness.

John Hard and Harriet Sigh::: were indicted for
stealing part of a blanket and a bed curtain, the pro-
perty of Mary Winter.
Catherine Itiar laves in Bird-in-hand-court, Long
Acre. The !muse belongs to Miss airy Winter :

On the night of the 213 t or Oet,sher, V:e prisoners at
the bar came to the house, about eleven o'clock.
''hey asked for a rooms, and followed witness up
stairs. She spewed them into a furnished room, and
gave them a candle. They remained about a guar-
, ter of au hour. The man p lid three shillings: when
witness !lewd them coming down, she came out : the
man had a handkerchief tied over his face : when she
went up stairs the candle was out. She procured
'"another, and went into the room where the prisoners
had been. and found part of the counterpane had
been cut off and taken away 1 part of the blanket
had also been taken away, and the bed, mattress, and
curtains cut vary much. She was sure they were not
au when the prisoners went in.
The COMMON SILLIZANT here stopped the cis,i as
in point of law, the prisoners, having hired the.lodg.
I mg, could not be indicted at common law foe the
offence. They Mould be indicted under the particu
Jar act which provides for such cases. He said it
was scandalous to see common prostitutes have the
hardihood to appear in Court, and publicly, to avow
their profession.--Tbe prisoners wereAcquiflesh •
There were two other indictments against the pri-
soners for the same offence, which were quashed fin
the &WIC reaqpn.

eleven o'clock in the day, she missed her child. She

Where. She thought it must have been drowned.
Atter she had been looking for it some time, she
found the prisoner sind it in the Royal Hospital pub-
An-house. She took it up, while some persons went
