TO THE EDITOR OP THE MORNING CHRONICLE'
Sta,--4or some time past I have been Orged•to pibilsh
a statement of the circumstances which acellospanied
gay arrest, imprisonment, and liberation; stime surprise
has been expressed at MT firlaying to do so. I had
determined upon this step Immediately on my return ' to
my country, and it was, indeed, due to the kind and
generous sympathy which hai been expressed towards
me, and in exciting which, you had so tarp a shale. It
was, however, sill:rested to me V. Mr. Canning; that any
premature discussion might 'possibly embarrass the
• British Gore/unseat; and' I was certainly disposed t
allow the Cabinet of the Thnllleries an opptihtuniry of
repairing the acknowledged outrages rif` Which I lad'
been the slain,. A comMunieatiOn I barejsisreettived
.frcim the Foreign Office removes all liopel of vidross;
and I shall, without further delay, trains* .my appeal
from the Government to the people' at large.
I am, Sir, your obedient Serfarit;

FONTIIIILL An nty..—Mr.Farquher rettireenrom Hindo:l•
two days ago. He has been residing at the 'Abbey ever
since October, and has at length finally arranged as to the
portion of the furniture and books he Wenn. to retain him-
self, and the other portion he has conceded to Mr. Beekford.
either agreeable to the original contract, or in consequence
of subsequent purchase by Mr. Rockford. S lof the
cabinet pictures which were in the catalogue last year era
included in the re-purchase. Much time and very serious
contention has ariaen lo the division of the books and prints.
One-third of which Mr. Beckford retains. Tnis Gentleman's
umpirO wt. Clarke. the bookseller, of Rond•atreet, assisted
by Chevalier French'. Mr. Reckford's secretary. Mr. Far-
quhar employed Leotard, the bookseller in Saville-passage,
as his agent. Mr. Rockford himself is at Rath, Red has not
been at the Abbey these four months. Mr. Farquhar has
resolved to bring the whole of the furniture to sale in Aug.
next, previous to which the Abbey and effects will be shown
by tickets as before, but upon a far more extended scale and
with far less reset"... Eight or ten rooms at the Abbey,
which were occupied as the private apartments of Mr.Beck-
ford, and which are fitted up with superb end costly furni-
ture, and the most rare and valuable books and prints, were
not shown to the public. The whole suite, however, will
be open in the spring, and there will be no reserve on any
article whatever. The purchase mo. ey is not yet paid, in
consequence of the delay which has unavoidably arisen in
perfecting the title, which, of course, includes the house~
and land in Hinrion end the neighbourhood, together with a
moiety of the Representation of the Borough. Chevalier
Franchi still retains posiessioo. The books and prints are
not to be sold at present.

Law..—Singular instance of Taxation! An action
was brought about three years ago,hy Mr. tiregory. 30:i.
citor, of Ellesmere, against Mrs. Dentith, late of the
Bridgewater Arms there, under the most peculiar cir-
cum‘tances,and an Injunction was obtained to stay the
proceedings, and bring the matter before the Equity side
of the Court of Exchequer. In both action and suit, Mr.
tiregory succeeded for the plaintiff, Miss Dentists. 4
cousin of the defendant; and upon delivery of this bill.
2281. ss. 6(1. it was thoeght enormous, and Miss D. was
advised by a friend of her's to take it before the
Masters for taxation ; ti lien to ! and behold, the sum of
31. I6s. only was taken off the hill, and the Master cons.
plimented Mr. U. on the moderation of his charges.—

Taxation.

THE SERPENTINE Riven.—Yesterday, Ibis fine piece
of water was covered with one transparent sheet of ice.
except on the north side,which still continued free,fro'n
the turn of the road, west, to the boundary of the river,
east. _ .

The skaiters were principally confined to the end next
Kensington Hardens, lint the ice here on several oth-r
parts. The recent thaw and rain, subsequently slit: d
up all the cracks in the old ice, which had acquired a
strength surpassing what it formerly possessed.
We saw a considerable degree of science displayed io
semicircles : and Mr. Murray effected the difficult
of five circles inclosed in one, in the best style we have
seen it executed this year.
Of late we have seen none of the splendid fe..ts ex--
et:Red by the then Lord Villas, Marquess of Lore-,
Captains Caulfield, and Pligh. The Serpentine Rive.'
at that period (twenty years since) was the Mall of the
Park; carriages innnmerabl', and equestrians in pet:.
portion, daily graced the gaol of attraction.
The frost, which appeared yesterday to be yielding,
has become more •harp. This morning at eight o'claca,
a thermometer in the Strand was one degree lower than
at the same hour yesterday.
For some Jays past a large hawk has been seen we-
sionally hovering over the metropolis, to pounce en the
pigeons kept in various parts of Westminster. Monday-
last he seised one, which he conveyed to St. Martin's
steeple, where he gorged himself in the presenee of
hundreds of spectators. On Thursday a pigeon, 9 nr•
sued by the same bird, darted down the chimney of the
Sunderland Arms, May's Buillinet, and was cough! in
the room where the Eccentric Society hold its oittines.
When caught it appeared almost dead wirh fright, bat'
in the course of an hour was quite recovered.
