PRIVATE I'ORRESP4 N9uNcr..
Park, March U.
Event• cr.►►rd oh with such rapidity, that it is rx,

tremely difficult to say which of those announced in
this day's papers. and rutnoured in the Salome, are most
likely to excite the greatest interest on your title the
Channel. We regard the change in Pied tas Above
all the other articles of intelligence from Turin, as
pregnant with important consequences to Europe:
and if, a. private letters positively assert, the flame of
patriotism has broken out at Milan, the fate of the
AustriAto army is irrevocably sealed.
l'lto.e who are acquainted with the temper of the
Piedmontese troops, are not by any means surprised at
what has occurred, and from a variety of dream-
vances well known in this capital, nothing hat the
promise of the King 4 oppose Austria, would have
kept the army quiet ats long.. It is e‘en said, that,
neither. his Sordinianitairsty, nor his Ministers, are,
disinclined to encourage the hatred manifested by an
ranks towards the invaders.

Y..qt are perhaps not aware that the forty battallossi
which have sworn to avenge the wrong. of Naples and
of Italy, are equal to the hest troops in Europe, most
of them having served in the victorious campaigns of
Napoleon. There is, in fact, no retreat for the Atm
trians, if the Patriot army match direct to Bologna.
and is supported by the inhabitants, a circumstance
of which there cannot he the smallest doubt.
The consternation of Louis XVIII., his Ministers.
and the ttftrom, is such as von will readily conceive ;
but their fears are unavailing, France will also he free !
The tranquillity of the Capital is no criterion for
public feeling in the departments ; 4o far from having
adopted a single measure calculated to diminish the
causes of discontent, it has been increasing daily for
some time ; the army is dissatisfied, fur none of the
proposition,' in its favour have passel in the Chamber
of Deputies ; the people are not lea so, for instead of
rescinding the last law of elections, new trammels have
been put on the mode of returning tnembers.
The trial of .1/. Sou/4,mi and his eq.-accused 31. Goya,
has at length come on, it is of the deepest interest,
inasmuch as that, the former, has in a most able de-
fence turned the tables on his adversaries, and boldly
exposed the whole system of liovernment established
during the last sin years in this country.
Several instances of cruelty and oppression have
come out, others equally monstrous are in embryo, and
I have no doubt but that the pleadings will be read
with nearly as much interest in London as at Paris.
Col. Dnvergier's trial is also about to take place ;
this fine young tnan has experienced all the horrors of
the most bitter persecution. The memoirs of bis'ins-
prisonnient will shortly appear, and show the Minis-
terial system of France in its trite colours.
The liberal party are gaining courage daily ; their
language is moderate, but evidently more decided
than before : they are no longer in doubt as to the
march of events; when the battle is achieved in the
Abruzzi, and on the plains of Lombardy, the victory
will not be difficult in other places.
he change of Ministers at Madrid, is not expected
to produce any effect dangerous to freedom. Ferdi-
nand is supported by men who cannot be doubted, and
although there are but two distinguished characters
in the new Ministry, (Casio Manwel and Ifereno
Ilaoiz,) it is supposed that nothing will be attempted
in opposition to the national Congress, composed as
it is, of uubribed orators and aupensioned patriots.

The eases of M. Saint°Ns. COVET. and Colonel
Mscastes, alluded to in our private correapondeure
from Paris, are perhaps better calculated to espose the
deplorable state of criminal law, -and arbitrary power
'lonised in !Prance, than anti• others we maid name

mane, in such arts of injnstice at this awful crisis.
will inevitably lead to their fall. it Is really astonish.
jog with what hardened effrontery they hurry on to-

wards the precipice !
The petitions of these ill-treated individuals are
now before tts that of Colonel DCTIRGISR, was pre-

seated to the Chamber of Deputies In last December.
In addition to a detail of his sufferings while In prison.

it states the monstrous fact of there being a law

officer of the Crown, who beeps a list of persona either
employed under the Government, or decided ultras,
from which he has invariably selected juries appoint-
ed to try political offences' To prove the above, he

- - -
adds that all the condemnations which have occurred

during the preceding ten montlig, have with scarcely a
single exception, fallen to the lot of those who profess

liberal opinions.
If it be true, as we are informed, that no one has
attempted to deny the ttatewents of the petitioner,
they are of course entitled to implicit belief.
With respect to Col. DUTERUIER himself, we ttn-
derstand he belongs to a very old family, that he was

highly distinguished in several campaign., and finally,
that in conseqoence of his preferring the freedom of

his eonetrf to htinossa and rewards, the tioverninent
aided by his own relatives, have consigned him to
prison and persecution. Count Latitirrox, once the fa-
vorite of S arrautorr, scot. the favorite of Inns Xl`lll.,
is natural wade to this brave and heroic officer.
M. SACEI:AINE SOULIGNE is a landed proprietor, of
Le Mans, in the department of La Santhe, and has,
ever since the commencement of the Resolution, to
the present time, been remarkable for his attachment
to that caner of rational liberty. Ile could have no
better title to oblialaty and persecution in Frasier.
Having mainly contributed to the election of the ve-
nerable Lscarcr rt: and his patriotic colleague M.
BENJAMIN CONATANT, %1. SirIVLIIINE acquired addi•

tional claims lo the hatred of his enemies. Arrested
nine months ago, and all his papers seised, by virtue
.of a lettre dc Cachet, to which the Duke tie Etclicut:r,
With two other Ministers, affixed their names, he has
been .nbsequently transferred from one prison to ano-
ther, without being able either to obtain a trial, or get
restored to his family. Here it will naturally be asked
what is his crime ? M. Seiti.tong gave some advice
and information to the French Minister in 1816,
which was thin most gratefully received ; it was this
alone, which formed the ground of accusation in 1820.
Like oar own countryman St UNE V. the crimes of this
eientleman are detieteed from papers. Will it be
credited, that in the course of the various examin-
ations them have undergone, the private letter* of hi•
father who died in 17 and those of his wife and•
daughters relaling to family secrets, were not spared.l
The Spanish ittwpilsition could scarcely have carried
its outrages farther. First confined on secret, the so-
licitations of Madame Sonligne and her daughters,
prevailed on M. Angles, the Prefect of Police, to iihe•
rate him from a state, that must, from this condition of
his health, have soon proved fatal. Ile was neat transfer-
ed to the prison of le Force, and thrown ireo a cell
with two condemned criminals. His third and present
abode is the Concergerie, formed by the ranks under
the Pubda de Juatiee, close to the Seine, several feet
below its kW, and a disgrace to modern legislation.
Nothing bat great strength of enieol and unshaken re-
solution could have supported this distinguished patriot
under his accumulated sufferings. We could prolong
this detail, but his story, told in his own eloquent man-
ner will donbtless he laid before Europe, and preclude
the necessity of further comment on our part. M.
Socuose's Petition was printed and presented to the
Chamber of Peers last mouth. It is an important docu-
ment, as tending to elitei,late the mode of legal proce,
sure in France.—.ls no man is more thorougly acquaint.
sal with the evils of his country than M. 54117 LIG ,f E. it is
to be hoped he will lose no time in laying them open to
the world.
NI. Omar, the friend of Sot move. and aslo known to
he favourable to freedom, leas been put on his trial for
what the French code calls, non pte,:fation, that is to say
in plain English, for not becoming a Kratnitotts goy, and
communicating to government the re lestance of private
letters written to him by his friend!
The ease of those (34 in number) neensed of taking
a part in the *of dismal conspiracy of August, and also
en thelrtrial demands oar attention, hut we have no
roans far its'ethsaideration to-day.

The return of M. Decasea to the French Ministry.
if true, will neither benefit France, nor render the
Bourbons popular. This it:dram:in k no Longer a
faeourite with the liberal, and we cannot suppose
that there is any community ►.f sentiment between him
acid the Duke of Ont.s AYR, who iq himself only sure
of popularity, in proportion as he embraces the cause
of tmmititutional freedom.

Two strings to his bow, a judieions distribntion
of looney, and agents in the principle cities of Europe,
may indeed keep a minister from falling to his roper
level for along time, hat to ensure Luting favor with
the people, men must have recoorqe to a very different
policy to that which, flatters the ekes of the great,
and depends on the co-operation of Spies and informers.
Let those who hril the re►urn to power of Al.
DiCASICS, not forget that althouEls drawn from the Mi-
nistry before it passed, the Law of Elections, to which
France is indebted for so many inswvations on her li-
-1 balks, was proposed, and would have been carried
into effect, had he remained at the heed of the Ministry.

Saturday, the Festival of the Tutelar Saint of Ire-
Lind was celebrated at the City of London Tavern, with
much more than usual pleasure and hilarity, in eon-
segment., no doubt, of the happy event which sabered
in the morning ; anti the benevolent institution which
it is the great object of this Meeting to sustain, veep
sensibly felt the consequences; for the subscripeloWo
atoonnted to no less than 19041. which, we understood,
far exceeds soy sum collected upon such an occasion,
since the original establishment of the Charity. Ali
(ince the Duke of Wellington was in the Chair, sop-
ported on his left by the Duke of Leinster, Mr. Can-
ninr, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and on
the right by the Marquess of Lonedown, Lord Castle-
reagh, and Earl Darnley.
After dinner, the usual toasts, demonstrative of
lovalty, were drank with appropriate testitnones if,
aspect and regard, by the whole eouipany, which
emnpnrhended at least 400 Dentlemen.
The Children who are snstaineil by the (!harity.
were matched in procession through the room ; includ-
ing male and female, there appeared to he about three
hundred, wh.i looked well, and were neatly .
The Citatenas opened the business of the day by
i.t.pressively urging the frietqls of the In .litiition to
augment their bounty upon this occasion, in order to
suable the Slanagers to pay off the debt contraeted
lor building the new and spacious School at which the
:Urea were educated. This debt was, he lamented
to say, no less thau 3.000/.
After " the Metnory of the late Patron of the So-
t :ety, his Royal highness the Doke of Kent," was
prank in twieuati silence—
'flue Duke of LEINSTER proposed the Dealt).
of the Duke of Wellington, and may his happitteA in
keace be equal to his renown in war. 'I his toast
was drank with marks of the warmest approliation.
Ills linare in returning thanks to the Meeting as
well as to his Noble Friend beside him, expressed his
gratitientimi to find that, before he hail the honour of
attending this Meeting, his name was set down among
its standing toasts; and proposed the health of one of
the earliest and best benefactors of that Institution,
the Marquess of Hastings.
After the toast was drank, the next toast proposed
from the Chair, was that of "The be!iefieelit (as the
Chairman justly described him) and patriotic Noble-
men, the Duke of Leinster," which toast oas hailed
with peculiarly rapturous applause.
The Disk" i f Lsitorrau returned thanks in a twat
and concise speech. and proposed the health of his
Noble Friend, Lord Castlereagh.--(Apflanse.)
Lord Casri.ertaaen, after returning thanks. cola.
gised the disposition of the Noble Duke to serve his
L.inotry, by residing at home. The example of Ilia
Noble Friend was certainly lantlable, but he hoped
that those Irislituen who Foul.' not imitate that CMS-
pie, would be found to make sonic reparation for their
absence from Ireland, by promoting its interests here
ur elsewhere. The Noble Lord concluded with pro.
posing the health of Lord Darnley.
This proposition was much applauded, and the
Noble Earl returned thanks. He congratulated the
meeting upon the good temper and harmotty widely it
had exhibited, and proposed the health of his Richt
Hon. Friend and school-fellow, Mr. Cautting.—(llreat
applause.)
Mr. CatiNt so declared, that he should think this a
meeting peculiarly deserving of libet al patronage, con-
earring as he did with his Noble Friend, that it was
to grateful sc;•ne to witness an annual oblivion of poli-
tical differences. Ile had now, he said, a pleasing
duty assigned to hint ; it was that of proposing the
health of a Nobleman of such eminent talents, as
would serve to raise their possessor from any station,
and were calcitlated toconfer honour upon the highest.
Le memo the Marquess of Lansdowne. (Loud applause.)
The Noble MARQCI ss, after returning thanks in
very eloquent terms, urged with peculiar force the
tiaims of the Charity upon the bounty of the Meeting.
'fl:e Alanagers of the Institution, had in their new build-
ing, he was sorry to say, cuantuitted that which might
p..rhaps be excusable in them, namely, a blunder ;
I ,r they had actually laid out money before they were
s.: re that they hail it.—(A laugh.)—lint he trusted to
i r ish generosity to supply the want occasioned by Irish
t for it was an indiscretion, indeed, in
emse gen:b.:nen to vote double the supplies to the
amount of their ways and means. But the Chancellor
ui the Exchequer having beard of that. 1141, he was
happy to see, come liberally there in order to vontri-
t rte fdihrir relief frost, the consequences.—(A laugh
mid cheer=.)—The Kobe Marquess condoled with
kroposing the health of the Chancellor of the Exche-
q ter. which was drank with applause.
Mr. VasiciTt ART. in returning thanks. expressed
de-ire to serve this laudable charity, which, as an
iris,' Officer, and as a private individual, he should be
a:ways Itcipy to do. The deficiency of the a nays and
coatis alluded to by his Noble Friend. would, he hoped
ani misted. he very soon supplied by the liberality
tit broil England and Ireland.
The TI: It an having stated the amount of the
subscliptioas,
The Holie of Wci.t.trtoros proposed the Mar/tuns
of Lansdowne as the Chairman fur neat Year.
The blanoecits accepted the appointment ; and the
Luke of Wellington, with Lord Castlereagh, declare]
meir intention upon that occasion to volunteer in the
seevive of the Noble Marquess.
. Akottt half-past ten o'clock the Chairmati. with
several of the Noblemen and Gentlemen at the bead of
the table, left the room.
!Ir. L. Coxcarirsos was called to Ike chair: and
tbat lientleitian proposed the health of Mr. Plunkett.
which uas drank with gicat applause.

liiser• the Gars. Tile Leaned Gentleman, in meda-
llions, trusted that the ohjeetious by the plaintiff against
llr. AWerman Wood, would be considered unsnhstantial
by the Court, and that the application for appointiog a
receiver of the profits of the mines would be refused.
Mr. Moen said that he bad been desired by his Learn-
ed Friend the Attorney-General, to request that the
Court would allow hint to postpone making his reply on
behalf of the plaintiff until a future day.
The LORD CRAIOCILLOR lipid, he could, pot refuse
the solicitation of the Attorucy-Gencral, as, it was
probable that the Learned lientleman bad been up all
night. His Lordship then proceeded to take a review
of the whole proceedings in this case and di the argu-
ments of Counsel en both sides. In alluding to same
observations which bad fallen front one of the Counsel
for the defendant, his Lordship said that he would, in
this case, proceed upon the principle by which he was
always directed, and which was contained in the ad-
tire that he received from Lord 'I hurlow on first en-
tering that court. That Learned Judge had direc:ed
him, in considering a case in which he knew the names
of the parties, to act as he would in the next case is
which he knew nothing of them. After making some
observations on the way in which the decision of the
ease woulal be affected by the diffettra situations its
which Alderman Wood stood as enoetgagee and co-
partner, his Lordship concluded by expressin, Iris
opinion that in the view of the subject which he lit
prescat entertained, the application of the plaintiff
canal i not he granted. The parties must he bosom{ by
the agreements to which they were respectively
pledged, 'twit it could be shown that they had been
improperly induced to cutter into these agreements.
The Court will deliver its final judgment in this
case after the Attorney-lieneral shall have replied.

COURT Or CHANC FR Y, Svrt; nDay.

MELANcoot,T Eve:cr.—The following aseltnelsoly
circumstance took place at Ilastings ou the morning of
Tuesday lash—One of the nsen, employed on the Coast
Blockade, for the prevention of smuggling, observing a
fishing boat to come in, intimated his intention to the
master, Jos. Swains., jun. to search the vessel.—Swaine,
we are informed, replied, that, s' when he hal got his
boat not of the water's war, he might. but he should nut do
so before;“ and proceeded to haul her upon the beach for
that purpose.—The man-of-war's man, not choosing to
wait, leaped into the bunt.—'!'his conduct irritated the
fisherman, who, unfortimately, attempted to obstruct the
sailor in Ike eNeelltioll of his dusty.— A scuffle ensued.
when, lamentable to state, the latter, who bad the worst
of it, and was forced from the boat, drew a pistol and
shot Swaine through the heart.—The sailor was imme-
diately taken into custody, tut abide the result of a Coro-
ner's inquest, which has not yet reached us. The
ill-
fated fisherman has, we understand, left a widow and live
children to lament Isis untimely end.—No contraband
goods were found on board his vessel.
Since writing the above, we have received a letter
from our cot respondent at Ilastings on the sobject of the
above catastrophe. Ills accoant does not essential's* I.
differ from that we have given.—The following particu-
lars are added :—The body of Swaine was taken to the
Ship-inn, and, on the following slay, an inquest WWI held
