self. We allude to the scheme, of which it pro.
resoles to lay the foundation of a combination of
private power to contest with the power of Go.
vernaseat, organized resources of resistance, mu-
tual support against the hand of justice ; and in-
demnity against the legal consequence of crimes.
87. We do not know how it is possible to ap.
proach much nearer that extreme crisis, which
ho so emphatically menaced in. the Memorial,
without readting it. We trust, however, confi.
tlently, that those who have been improvitlewly
betrayed nolo those desperate courses, will have

lion ; and that lly arresting the progress of the
foremost, you will have saved their inconsiderate
followers from the ruin and dishonour to which
their leaders were conducting them.
88. With regard to those who have taken a
Leading part iu these criinteal transactions, war feel
that every principle of tried and established po.
key, applicable to such conjunctures, and every
obligation of your sacred trust, forbid the eaten-
si towards them of a false and mischievous
lenity.
eV. We concur also entirely in the sentiment
expressed in your General Orders of the Ist ult.
that it is nut sufficient for• officers holding com-
mands to avoid a participation in such proceed-
ings, but that it is their positive and indispensable
duty to adopt the most decided measures tor their
suppression, and to report them to the superior
authorities. The purposes of tumult and sedition
may as effectually be promoted by their negative
concurrence as by their active participation. ►

dis Orderly proceedings lowing those who itro.placcd
under his immediate controul, abstains from any
attiindt to sup ress then, either by the exertion
of his own authority, or by an appeal to the s'u-
perior power, gives to those proceedings one mode'
of encouragement, and cannot stand absolved of
bla •le, nor found a claim to immunity, much less
to a contitinaiieu of that implicit confideir:e, which
is attached to statio's of authority, on the basis or
sn cilliiable and mischievous a neutrality.
91. From the *hole of the preceding aliscussion,
VOIA will naturally tufer that we consider the of-
fences charged against those officers whoin you
have judged it nrcc.sary to suspend or to deprise
of their appointments and commands, ful!y jesti-
fying the respective degteei of punishment winch
you hale allotted to them.
92. The local means and advantages which. you
Possess, as well as the great" delicacy of the on.
quiry, have necessarily placed the application of
these principles to indiiiduals, and the investiga.
tioti of particular cases, under your exclusive
cognizance; and we have only to express that en.
tire conlidence'which is due to your station andl,
character, its the justice and impartiality nor less
than in the vigilance and activity of your pro.l

addressed by Major General Gowde, to the officeis

the loyalty of the major part of the officers of your

support of this Government, in maintaining a
contest which involves all that is most dear to our
Si.sereign and country, if, contrary to our ardent
desire and sanguine hope, any future call should
yet be made on the power and energy of your Go.
• vernment which may require our aid ; we will
Iconclude, however, with expressing our foulest
with and expectation, that the late afflicting egi-
Wilms should subside in a calm and reasonable
reliance urn the wisdom and justice of the high
authorities to which the transactions of this trou-
bled period have been advocated, and in those de-
monstrations ot respect and obedience, w hiCh are due
nut more to your station, than to the faithful and
honourable discharge of all your public and diffi-
cult duties, which, its our opinion, has eminently
distinguished the present Guverument of Fort St.
George.
•95. Such a result will be most acceptable to us,
most accordant with our views of the public in-
terest, and most congenial with those sentiments
of erection and respect towards the Army of the
Coast which we cordially profess and. remain as.
cured that we shall never have reason to renounce.
We have the hunonr to be, honoured Sir, your
most obedient humble servants,

MISS PARIS, THE SUICIDE.
• The stfement whit)i appeared in a Piper of
:atiirday, respecting Otis young lady, was very
erroneous. She was the daughter of Monsien.
Paats, a French Emigrant of rank, who, to-
gether with. his wife and child, was protected by
the benevolence and liberality of Mr. PEARCE,
'Member for Northallertoti. her father has been
dead some years : her mother died lately.
Nias Pitts was placed by this gentleman in a respietable
school near Brunswick-square, and one evening at the Found-
ling formed an acquaintance with a gentleman of the name of ,
Jones, a very respectable young man, sersing la the Navy.
!laving found oat his lodgings, without invitation on his part,
she eloped to him in the dead of night.—He received her.
but respecting her situation, and with a tenderness which is
creditable to him, restore I her to her ri.r.nies.. Shortly
afterwards be visited in the family, made propo.als of mar-
riage; was accepte.l by Mr. Pea, c • ; and, in his presence,
and by his co -sent as her guardian, he was married to Mika
Paris. Some sottlement, rigout WI. per animal, was made
by Mr. Pearce upon thk young lads.
It is nut true that Mr. Jones had assumed n false character.
Ile was in the Navy, and the son of n wealthy and respect-
able arms-clothier. lie took his wife to his father's house,
who received her with parental attention, and ()tiered to con-
tribute every thing to her happiness. But such was the un-
happy indiscretion of this yotmg woman, that she soon quar-
relled w ith her husband's fatally, mud obliged him to remove
her to lodgings, either, in Camden Town or Edgeware-road.
They lised here about a mouth; when, having r^ason to

her to be watched, one evening, out of the house, and she
Was trac-d, in company with a young oßker, whose arm
she appears to have seized hold of casually in the street,
to a notorious house. In these circumstances, Mr. Jones pro-
ceeded with remarkable tenderness; but, upon taxing his
wife with her toll ¶esity, she made no justification, acknow-
ledged it without reserve or. hesitation; protested ttrr
haired ttal contempt of her husband, slighted his
pro&red conditional forgiveness, eloped from his house, anJ
immediately a cut upon the town. 11cr pr .stitu,ion was un-
disgu sed and pronsis,•uous : she became with respect to per-
sssnal virtue wholly abandoned, and she was compelled, verl
lately, to taLe refuge in an hospital. It is, howester but
charitable to coticlu.te that her ,wind was dist,' desed. Iler
person was extremely beautiful, her age 17, her iiur light
and delicate, and her manlier, truly prepossessing; she wag,
and understood music well, and possessed many of the tusks-
-may acco•aplisitmritts of females ; but of real solid educes-
time, of mental improvement, of moral and Christian know-
ledge, she had starce a vestige—never was savage in this re-

With respect to her death, the circumstances ate trul .
dreadful :—She had prepared th•ee phials of opium, two of
whie:i she swallowed; and she is said to have died with a
spirit of dreadful, we should almost say, diabolical perverse-
Deo ; for no porsu4sion or force could make her, when seiz: d
with tivs nausea of the poison, to take an a Ititlote to the

It is said that accounts from Madras lathe 15th
of July have been received. A bill from that
Presidency, to is large amount, was exhibited. on
Saturday on 'change, with the letter in, n Web it

in the letter to any of those atrocities supposed
to have been committed by the Company's Milt-
tary Officers.
Yesterday being Plow Monday, the Members
of the Court of Common Council, and . the City
Officers, were sworn in before the Lord Mayor.
'A hackney coachman, known by the name of
Mercury, was robbed of his watch and 30s. on
Sunday night, by two men, who took his coach
in St. Giles's, to go to -Kilburn. They 'topped
him in the Kilburn Road, presented a pistol at his
head, and committed the robbery ; 'ter 'which the
thieves cut the traces.
Early on Sunday morning the shop of Mr.
