Since-Mr. Horsley etae favoured with the above.
obliging commhnication, be has received a letsee
front his nephews which is of a subsequent date. The
substance of the letter is of a most pleasing descrip..
lion to the family. It states, that he has certain
Tapes of arriving in .Finglaste in a few days with the
fegitive, and thhptizewhich been cruelly bore off
from its distracted parents; that he. as well as those
mhe have accompanied- hies (the Police of Calais),
have had the most harassing, fatiguing, and anxious
pursuit, ever undertaken by any persons; that when
they were eletost convinced they should secure Roo-
nett in a few beers, their hopes were disappointed by
his taking r direction so very different to what they
*tweeted ; that be had snatched a few moments to
"address a letter to Mr. and Mrs. H. to inform them
of his conviction that he should succesafelly access-
plish the object he had in view. Mr. H. then begs
the family to remove all anxiety as much av possible
film their minds, and dwell only upon the cheering.
prospect of soon embracing their dear child. The
above letter was received by post on Saturday morn-
ing. Grief for the loss of the child has preyed upon
the mind of the father and mother, and particularly'
upon the grandfather, Mr. Dignum, very much; and)
to add to it, some persons have been indeetrieestr
wicked in propagating the most unfounded tepee.

enjoyed by Mr. Dignum. Kennett could hawse;
other motive fur bis conduct, than to glut his revenge.
ful disposition, for he has no claim to the property
now possessed by Mr. Dignnm, he having by deed of
assignment given up all claim to the estate for a spit-
cific sum of money. The estate lies xi West Metro,
in Hampshire: The absent child is not, as has been
stated, sole heir to the estate: three other children
have an equal claim to the property, at Mr. Dignom's
death.
It has been thought right to continue in custody
Mrs. Bennett, the wife of Charles Rennett, as ail ac-
emery. On the discovery being made by Mr.
Birnie, nearly three weeks since, that Charles Ren-
nett was the robber of the child, he committed her
to the House of Correction, where she has been
treated with every possible kindness by Mr. Adkins,
the Governor of the prison. She was accommodated
with a good room in the school, and has her meals
sent regularly horn the Governor's house. Under
the peculiar circumstances of her case, Mr. Birnie
allowed her to take with her to the House of Cor-
rection her infant girl, about twelve months old.
The child, who was then indisposed, continued ill;
and on Saturday, information was received at the of-
fice, that the infant died on Friday night about ten
o'clock, in the House of Correction. On its being
determined to commit Mrs. Reunett to the House of
Correction, Mr. Horsley, who was present, express.
ed his desire very strongly that" she might expe-
rience every possible induqpince which the rules and
regulations of the prison would admit of, which re-
quest has been complied with.

admitted under a flag of truce, and did every thing
in his power to induce the garrison to comply with
my demand, which they promised to do the fol-
lowing day; as I, how ever, pot bet little faith in their
assurances, I sent back, dukes the night, to the top
of the Moreghurry Ghaut for one of the gene, which
had been carried up the day before; and, owing to
the exertions of the detachment and the assistance
which had been sent me from Satter., I had the pies-
