THE KENSINGTON MAGISTRATES. \
•
Under this head appears in The kerning Caironielsi
of to-day, a letter to tire 'editor (signed "Taxi Da.
TECTOR OF Tile 7s: EW PREPZ-BAG PLOT es) ill reply to.
the statement of Mr. T. Jullion, the MOO tee.
Clerk, on the 25th tilt. In that statement is the fol-
lowing passJ2:e:---7
"The paragraph goes on to state, To this we have
to add, that a tradesman of Hammersmith was pe-
remptorily sent for by the Magistrates and examined,.
relative to his knowledge. of the affair.' This asser-
tion is grozsli prise,- no tradesman was examined by,.. '
the Magistrates upon the subject alluded to."
In order to enable the public to judge between Mr.
Jullion and himself, at to the onossxess or TilE
eaLsenooo,.the writer takes occasion to assert the sub-
sequent particulars :--!" About a fortnight previous to
the Meeting of the Mairistratea at Hammersmith, for
the purpose of renewing the Licenses, Mr. llirnie
wrote a note to a Mr. John Millwood, a stone-mason,
of Hammersmith, requesting he would call upon him
at the Public Wee, Bow-street ; the Magisterial sum-
mons was instantly obeyed, and the following is the
substance of the MaOstrate's questions and enquiries.
The tradesman, after being informed that Mr. Birnie
had information upon oath on the subject; was asked,
among a variety of other questions, the following :
If he bad not, in conjunction with Sir R.
actuated, and given the people triseney to'pdll upithe
stones at the end of Church-lane? If he was not RE-
qnainted intimately with the person of Sir It. Wilson
And on his replying to both these questions in the
negative, the worthy Magistrate inquired " if he did
not see a tall gentleman on a tall horse, with a star
on his breast, give five s:lillings to the men—and if
the same person had not a pot of beer resting on the
pummel of his saddle, out of which Ike afterwards
drank the health of the persons who were pulling up
the stones?" These questions met a most derided ne-
gative. (By way of refreshing- his memory, I suppose),
the Magistrate observed, that Sir Rob it Wilson was
a very remarkable man ; he was very tall, -anti very
discernible on that occasion. These and a number of
other such questions met with similar contradictions,
when the witness w:is ordered to withdraw, without
receiving any other satisfaction for 11k trouble and
loss of time, than the honour of having hail a private
interview with-Mr.—now Sir Richard Itirnie."

DISTRESS ING FIRE.

The conflagration on Monday morning last, was one
of the most awful and destructive ever witnessed in
Halifax. It originated in Sackwell-street, in the
bakery occnpi&d by Shnry and Milany, and before it
was discovered bad gained an alarming 'height. It
was nearly two o'clock when the bells were twig.—
The troops and seamen of his Majesty's ships, with
the inhabitants, soon assembled. The engines were
most judiciously placed and every exertion made to
extinguish the fire; but we regret to state that before
any check could be given, the %thole bulk of Luna-
ings (with the exception of a house situated the corner
of Sackirell-street, occupied by H. Croskat:4lte Molise
occupied by Mrs. Wilson in Birmingham-street, and a
stable belonging to ►V. Johnson) was consumed. For
some time apprehensions were entertained that the fire
would Weed to the opposite side of the street, but
fortunately it did not. Of the property burnt only
1,5001. worth was insured.

Cape Charles, in which 14 men were killed.

Paris papers to Sunday last arrived this morning.
Coder the date of Vinson, Sfptember 25th, there is a
a blank effected by the Censors of the Press by the

erasure of sixteen or eighteen lints. The paragraph
that follows states that the traces of a conspiracy in
Transylvania had been discovered, and that many
Ministers, not of the Established Church, bad been
arrested. In the Assembly of the States of the district
of Pestli, some resistance has heen shewn•to the propo-
sitions of the Court. The' Count Fistelits and the
Baron Orozi have held language not agreeable to
the government. It is demanded of Hungary to fur-
nish withoutdelay 28,000 reeraits, who had been due
by her since the year 1815. Commercial Louses at
Vienna have received letters from Wallachia and Mol-
davia. The former announce that the battle of the
21st of August at Bucharest, between the Turks under
the orders of Kiaja Bey and the Arnauts under Camilla
Sava, had been very bloody. J lie Turks had lost
1,000 men, ant 800 of the Arnauts had perished. Of
the latter, one only could make his escape, by taking
refuge in tl►e house of the Austrian Consul. Almost
all the houses is Bucharest had been plundered. In
Mcildavia, the tranquillity was not greater. On the
30th of August, '2OOO Hetairists made a sortie
from the mountains and attacked a hundred Turks,
whom they found in the little town of Folti-
chan. The latter defended themselves in a brick-
house situated before the gates, with much bra.
very, and succeeded in escaping. The Hetairists oc-
cupicd Foltichan until the Ist of September, but aban-
doned it on the approach of 800 Turks. The country
is laid waste and plundered by the Greeks, the Arnauts
and the Turks ; and the peasants and Bohemians (gip-
sies,) who have lust their property, accompany them in
the work of pillage. Twenty Turks lately approached

the Austrian frontier near Suesava, where they found
nothing but a post of some of the frontier guards.
Two of these without arms, went to meet them to ap-
prise them that it was the Ausaian frontier. The
Tunls replied with musket shot, and approached the
principal post which consisted of four men. The lat-

ter fired, and one Turk and two horses fell. The troops
set ufiat full gallop, but soon returned with a reinfure-
went of 200 men. The Austrian post was also rein-
forced with twenty men and an officer. The latter de-
manded of the Turkish commandant whether be pre-
sumed to make war on Austria; but the Turk apolo-
gised with much earnestness, and entreated that the
occurrence might be considered as not having hap-
pened. The Porte, it is said, has recalled Joussouf,
Pacha of Braila, on account of the cruelties he bad
committed in Moldavia, and appointed a successor.
The A vatourg Gazette quotes a long article from

the Austrian Observer, relative to the sudden departure
of the Austrian and Russian ministers from Lisbon,
which contains the following remark on the Circular
issued by the Portuguese government to its ministers
abroad: " It is a must strange assertion in this circular,
that the note delivered by JI, de Berks, by orders of
his Court, was induced by a false statement of the
affair published in the English Courier. If it were
pranitted to believe that the Imperial Court c Alla be
guided by the statements of foreign newspapers, in
giving instructions to its diplomatic agent', such a
supposition would be wholly akbitrary and groundless
in the present case, as the direct communications of M.
de Berks himself, founded on indisputable facts, were
fully sufficient to make the affair clear."
By accounts from Spain, the political affairs of that
country appear to be proceeding favourably, and the
progress of the epidemic to, have been checked., In
France the elections have began, and are going on
very quietly. In Hanover, the States, it is said,
.will
be convoked immediately after the arrival of the King,
anal his Majesty will make a proposition, tending to
relieve the country from the burthen of maintaining an
armed force disproportioned to its resources. To at-
tain this end, there is a rumour that 15,000 lianove-
rians are to form the garrisons of Mal:a, Corfu, anal
the lonian Islands ; and that they will be paid by
(heat Britain. This, hOwever, is an improbable story,'
as there appears no pretence, while the British army
is so numerous, that a foreign corps should have a
prior right above our own native military, to British
pay and promotion. The Dukes Charles and William
of Brunswick-Oels, arrived at Frankfort, on the 29th
of September, from Lausanne. These Princes were
proceeding to Hanover, to meet their guardian,. his
Britannic Majesty. At Leipsig, there is a report that
several Sovereigns trill soon visit that city, for one of
whom apartments are already engtol. Besides, the
King of the Netherlands, the Kirik of England, and
the Icing of Prussia are spoken of. At Brussels, it is
said, that after having stoppetta fortnight at *Hanover.
his Britannic Majesty. will proceed' to Vienna, where
he will meet the. Emperors Franci.anal Ale:andel., to
determine the fate of Turkey.

The KING OF ENGLAND'S progress througl► Prance

man in Europe, was a common Burgo-►►►aster ; it valor-
innately happens that those we do most for, eves
least about us, was it otherwise, his Ma'am mui
take Paris in his road. • But the Bourbon's are disliked
by the great body of the French people, and it is na-
tural to suppose their guardian, or any of those who
contributed to force them on the natives, coitfd.not
escape the taunts of so many disappointed officers who
lounge about the French capital, we therfore approve
of his MAJESTY'S determination to avoid had eonipasy,
and we should be heartily rejoiced to find he waul4
adopt'similar sentiments Neater home. However, we
must wish► his MAJESTY a more pleasant journey to his
German dominions, and safe home to the arms of his
friend and sheet anchor, JOHN BULL.

While the foreign journalists are still speculatint
on the journey of the KING of England to Vienna, we
are assured that he is expected, by his household, al
his Palace in Pall-Mall, to return to London the latter
end of this month.

When we take a retrospective view of the politics of
Russia and the Porte, we must refer our readers to those
opinions we have so long held out. Experience has
convinced us, that where religion becomes a matter of
dispute, the prejudices and worst passions of the par-
ties are brought into action, and ultimately prove a
greater bar to reconciliation than any suhject what-
soever. Russia being of the Greek Church, it is natural
its councils should be favourable to their °mewl
brethren ; but then, the Greeks have declared k
Liberty and the Rights of Max, which is a crime of
the first magnitude to the Northern Emperor and his
Unholy Alliance, so that if he goes to war and cos-
quers the Turks, his army might imbibe the Oki-
cal principles of the Greeks, and the care la
come as bad as the disease. Notwithstandiag die
powerful, this dangerous impediment in the et
ALL'ANDER, we still think, if the Grand Turk duet
suhauissibly bend to the conditions of his opponent in
the fullest sense of the word, he will be exterminated.
Austria is like a bully, lying by until the Turk is
struck at, when be will come in for a part of the plea-
der, as he did upon the division of Poland.
Spain is is a dieturbed state. The uneasy iotrigas
of the seta/ Fop* Ultras, have, every day, become
inure istaniat4lskry tty to light up the flame of civil
war in Spain. The Royal EMBROIDERER and ths
BOURBON party have placed that sanguine monster,
Illoatu.o, at the head of the army, whose career is
Europe and America, has been disgraced by the
waste of human blood, and who, like other great
Captains, think man was made to be butchered
by ruffians in regimentals. At the same time Gt.
"era! Riego, the soldier of the people, is deptiird
of his command at Saragossa, and like ether brave

Extract of a letter from Dusseldorf, dated October
3 :—The urgency of the post obliges me to confine
this letter to a few lines. I have just crossed the
Bbipe, and arrived here from. Aix-la Chapelle, where-
his Majesty was to have slept last night. An estafette
Came into that town on the preceeding day, announc-
ing to the Marquess of Londonderry that his Majesty
mould certainly arrive yesterday evening, at six o'clock.
Accordingly Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, after having
made all the necessary arrangements for his Majesty's
accommodation, set oat for this town, where he-has done
;be same ; aad on arriving at the llotel Brcideakach,
I find that he has prepared them to expect his Ma.
jests at four o'clock this evening. 'Munster is the
nest place at which his Majesty is to sleep, and he will
proceed thence to Osnabruck, where, it is supposed he
will remain for a day, in order to receive the Hano-
verian Authorities, who will come to congratulate him
on his al rival in his hereditary dominions. It gives
me great pleasure to inform you that his Majesty enjoys
excellent health, though he must undergo considerable
fatigue in travelling over roads that are almost impass-
able.
HANOVER, Satz. 22.—[Private letter.]—" The visit
of his Majesty the King► of England to his German
States is certainly a highly t►ratifying event, yet it is
certain that many of the Officers, both Civil and Mi-
litary, whose incomes in general are very limited, will
be deeply injured by the expense which they will there-
by be coippeiled to incur. Great numbers of them
will not only exhaust their present means, but will be
obliged to contract debts, the repayment of which will
cost them years of privation. All the officers of the
regiments of Guards have been ordered to equip them-
selves anew. A contest of a must serious nature is
likely to arise concerning the order of presentation to
the King. The question is, whether the Princess Dow-
ager of Buckeburg, the Countess von der Decken, or
the Countess Mobster, arc to take precedence of the
other two ladies on that occasion. Each of them is
intriguing fur the preference."

Advices from Gibraltar to the 18th tilt. arrived

had succeeded in concealing their illness from the
ag.enis of the board by bringing- them en the deck at
the time of the daily visit as if they had been healthy.
The two ships had accordingly been ordered to Mahon,
and precautions taken to prevent such concealment in
future. The news of the appointment of General Can-
tailor as War Minister at Madrid, in the latter end of
Autrost, b:►ving reached C,►rthagena, the mob of that
city loudly expressed their disapprobation of that
choice, the General's name being on the list of indivi-
duals whom they wanted to be turned out of Carthagena
