Letters have bets received by Mrs. Horsley Ns
her botanist!, by the last Mail. Mt. Freeting, with
that consideration and hotnanity for which•he is so
strongly Characterited, instantly sent off a epetlal
messenger to her residence, at Islington, with the
letters, instead of allowing her to *sit the usual
routine of delivery.. We need not• say iltewigeate-
folly they were received. Mrs. Hi wept for joy, and
Mr. Dianem, her father, fell down on his kneeslo
thank Heaven for the foil confirmation of the own
received by Messrs. Reid, Irving,and Cot a few days
age. The letters ate dated the 45th olt. and men-
tion• the recovery of the child, in good health, and
the ipplehension of tbe villain who stole sit, which
took place on the 23d inst. at Brake, near Bremen.
The dress of the child bad been changed; end the
disgolse was in complete, that even the father would
not have known it hot by its countenance. It was
safely lodged in the hdose of the British Consul,
until doe authority could be received from the Go-
vernment of Oldenburg. where Brake is situated,
for delivering him to his father. The perpetrator of
the atrocious act could not be surrendered for the
purpose of removal to take his trial in this country,
until an application is made from our Government,
the Ministers of Oldenburg thinking they were not
justified in gibing him up as a State criminal ; but
they would cheeifolly comply with a requisition
from the British Government to that effect.

After the receipt of these letters a Lady obligingly
called on 1411 s. Horsley with another letter, re.
relied from her brother; at Bremen, dated the tith
ultimo, containing much infeseoing information on
the subject of the Recorered Child. Of this lever
we are happy to be able to lay a copy before our
Readers :
Wrinen, Nov. 94, Three o'Clotk. P. M.
Mr. flor.ley, of Loudest, whose son was molest from him
about three weeks past. sent last Sunday from Leer, an express
on t.s /116 place to my friend Mr. Coleman, the &hash Cannel
tit Kfemen, stating, that he was Men in pursuit of Charles Rem-
ora. the person who carried the child of; and presumed, by
the time, or before the express reacned Mr. Coleman, that the
said Itennett would he in Bremen, requesting him to use every
exertion to apprehead the villain. Mr. Coleman received the
letter at five o clock yesterday morning, and as 'eon as it was
day light set about the business. He discovered that a person
answering the description given of him by Mr. Horsley is his
letter had come from Leer, I think last Thursday, and went to
the London Hotel with the child. After mat ing there about an
hour, he went down the river to a place called Vegerock, left
the chin, there, nod returned to Bremen, to cottage a p,sisage in
the American ship Pallas, hound to Baltimore, for which he
was to pay YIU Spanish dollars, for -ell and Cold. Hr cptisted
thi. on Friday, at about threeticloek, went down to Vegesack,
and toe someday proceeded still farther down the river to Berika,
there to uwait the I:awaits at the ship, to proceed to sea with
the first wind ; which would have been the case this afternoon,
or tis-morrow 'naming. •
Mr. Coleman karat the foregoing, would tit frost a
messenger with an order to ripprehesid the unfeelthe thief, but
set off himselt at eleven o'clock yesterday, for Braka. He
had asked me to dine with his yesterday, some days ago, stud
accordingly l went yesterday. Mr. Coleman immetliotely in-
formed me that he was tinder the necessity of going to Bioko,
for the foregoing reason'. I howeser dined there,and staid till
late in the evening; svhest, at half-past ten o'clock, we were
informed by the servant that two strangers wished to speak
with the Consul : we immediately concluded that it was Mr.
Horsley, who in his letter observed be should follow she express
as sous+ de possible. la bet. It was so. %%e immediately in-
formed host how fir Mr. Coleman bad proceeded. mod stint there
was every likelihood of the childheing recovered. I went over
with Mat to his hotel, advised bias to remain there. and wrote a
P"Telfer to Coleman, incising the lbw-street warrant, mad by an
express sent it off to Brake.
This morning, at day-light, an express came op from Me.
Coleman, sr..ing he had recover • d the child, and secured Rea-
nett ; requiring, at the same time, if Mr. Horsley was in Bre-
men, that IN should come down to him to Brake. 10 prove be-
fore the Magistrate there that he is the father of the child
Mr. Coleman's brother-irwlaw (Mr. Berners. from Frankfurt),
and myself, imm diwely went over to the Londnn Hotel, nod
informed Mr. Horsley how to proceed—had a carriage pro-
cured far him—went off at tea o clock—end presume • dun !by
this time he has the child in his strum. He w ill probably not
return here till to-morrow afternoon. ns some judicial proceed-
ings must be fulfilled for the securing of Itestartt. and obtaining
the child. Before Mr. Horsley left town this morning, I ad-
vised hint of the mail by Culbeiven leaving this at five o'clock
for Lngland—he immediately wrote a few lines and gave them
to Mr. Berner', who has sent theta to the Yost-office.
Yost will, my Sister, on receipt of this, cull on Mrs. Horsley,
and assure her of the safety of Mr. Horsley and child. It will
be doing an act of humanity, which we should ourselves wish
dune to as in a similar situation.
From the foregoing our Readers will see that some
little delay, in the return of Mr. Horsley, is occa-
sioned by the requirements of law. Evidence, of
some kind, of the father's property in the child, was
necessary. Nature--ell powerful Nature, soon sup-
plied it. When the father was introduced, with
other Gentlemen, into the room in which his child
was, the intelligent little fellow no sooner set eyes
on him, than, bursting into a kind of hysterical
laugh, and running into his arms, he at last get his
tangoe to articulate—calling out, 66 0 Pa ! my own
dear Pa !"
The unfeeling thief, Rennet!, when he found his
hellish purpose frustrated and himself arrested, im-
plored 'floret, in the most abject and humiliating
terms. He is in safe custody ; and the necessary
measures for transmitting the base wretch to England,
are in progress.
Rennet and the child were etteally on board the
vessel, ready to sail for America ; and but for the
prnmt and most praiseworthy vigilance of Mr.
Coleman, the British Consul, the villain would ie
, all probability have get off with his prize.

Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a man, who
stated his name was Stepheig Norton, was stopped at
Camberwell by Smith, a Lambeth constable, with a
heavy load of timber. *Upon enquiry being made, it
was discovered that Norton had been employed as a
watchman by Mr. Mullins, of Camberwell, to pro-
tect several unfinished buildings from depredation,
and that the property found in his pt.ssession was
part of what he had-bfen paid to take especial ears of.
