',, Extract of a letter from Major CARTWRIGHT, to a
)rem. goodness°l Correspondent at Paisley :—" But while I recom-
rotected a life as mend Petitions by twenties, I beg to put you on
our own country, your guard against a trick of our enemies, which
-al tranquillity of some base men have attempted to play on Lord
noosing enough, COCHRANE and myself. From two populous places
we have received parcels of Petitions, each having
nsideroblo notice twenty signatures, bet on examination great num.

weden, which having been made, in the hope of bringing into dis-

well as euabling some profligate orator to stigmatise
The the characters of men they dread. I beg most ear-
of tipsily to repeat my caution, in the !tope that you and
the other promoters of Reform in Paisley will be
very vigilant to prevent what has taken place in two
other places; but, thanks to the vigilance of Lord
Cochraue, without effect. Withiregerd to myself, I
merely follow instructions in sending half a parcel
to hard Cochrane, and reserving the other half for
Sir Francis Burdett, which I had not delivered when
the discovery was made."

French Papers, including three days (to the llth
inst.). have arrived since our last. The Chamber of
Peersdecided upon the new Conscription Projedt, OM
Monday last. After several amendmeots had Wei
negatived, some of them by very small majorities., tS
Project was adopted without alteration, by a ma-
jority of 96 to 74. The Dike of WELLINGTON, in
consequence of e slight indisposition, could Dot at-
tend an audience given by the King to the Foreign
Ministers on the 10th, bet there was another meet-
ing of the Foreign Knitters at the Duke's Hotel on
Monday last, at which the Duke nit Rican.= was
present. Nothing is suffered to transpire in .the
Journals respecting the object or result of these con-
ferences. The Duke of WELLINGTON, it is said,
leaves Paris for Cambisy on the With inst. It is,
added, that his Grace will subsequently come to Lon-
don, and then proceed to attend the Congress of
Sovereigns. The period when this Congress is to as-
semble does not appear to be known with any cer-
tainty. Aria-Tani to same accounts the Meeting,
will not take place till the Ist of August. A city
. in the north-west of Germany will, it is asserted, be
the scene of its optratioos. An article from Nurem-
berg says, that its object is to resume the delibirs.l
iions which, at Vienna, had been so unceremoniously
interrupted by the sudden return of NAPOLEON
from Elba.
In the Chamber of Deputies, numerous Petitions
have been presented from' the inhabitants of Verdun
and Valenciennes, complaining that a considerable
*meant of debts were still due to them from English-
' men who bad been prisoners, which claims they had
preferred in vain to the French and English Govern-
ments ; and that 'they now appealed for justice to the
fuitilment of the third Article of the Treaty of Paris,
which they conceived to be applicable to their case.
The Prussian Loan, says an article from Berlin, has
not yet been completed.

In the Private Correspondence from Paris of a
Morning Paper, there is the copy of an autograph
Letter. said to have been addressed by his' Royal
Highness the PRI SCE REGENT to the Duke of Wit.-
LINGTON, on the late escape of his Grace from ar-
'urination. It commences with "my dear friend,"
like the " dear John" which his Roy al Highness
used to apply to ti:e Dyke of BEDFORD, and after
expressing the " sentiments of horror and indignation
with which his Royal Highness was Ailed at the
baseness of such an atrocious attack," he says. " I
can only, in common with the rest of the nation,
offer op thanksgiving to the supreme goodness of
Divine Providence, for having protected a life as
important to the great interests of our own country,
as for the preservation of the general tranquillity of
Europe." This latter passage is amusing enough,
and we are told it has excited considerable notice
among the French politicians; as if the puce of '
Europe were 'opposed to hang upon the life of the
Duke of WELLINGTON. Who can wonder after
this, that a life so valuable should now and *then be
in danger ?

Flanders and Dutch Mails have also arrived, with
Papers and letters to the 12th instant. The Corona.
Hon of lirnmanorre, the King of Sweden, whirll
lit 11191 supposed would bave-been deferred, will take
place during the present Session of the States. The
last accounts from Stockholm notice the failure of
several commercial firms of the highest respectability
at Gottenhurg. They state, that two of the most.
ancient English bows there have failed, neem4y,!,
SCOTT and GORDON, and SasiTu and Co. the former
is 19 tons of gold, Swedish money, and the latter Is
12 tons. (A ton of gold is 100,000 dollars Swedish.)
Two Swedish bogies have also failed for immense
sums. This circumstance had prodeced a great sen-
sation on 'Change, and the most distressing results
were apprehended. A Angelus, event has occurred at
Warsaw. The inhabitants of the suburb of Praia have
elected the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE Deputy
to the Diet, by a majority of 103 votes to o.
This Prince by taking his seat in the Chamber of De-
puties would have to renounce his rights as a Senator
during the Session. The Second Chamber of the
Diet is composed of Senators, and the King presides
in it. On the 14th ult. the Russian Board of Customs
gate a formal notice to the merchants of Petersburgh,
that the present Tariff will continue to be in force
daring this year. The silver rouble will be estimated
as last year, at four roubles Bank-notes. An article,
dated Venice, the 12th alt. communicates the °edits,'
of the Constitution of the lonian Islands adopted by,
the Legislative Body, May 21 1817, and ratified on
the 418th August following, by his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT, in the name of his BRITANNIC
MAJESTY; the Protector of that State. This Act

TO THE EDITOR Or THE STATESMAN.
Siii.—The philippic delivered last night by Mt.
Calvert against Mr. Beaumont, the Magistrate, for
the prominent part which that Gentlemen has taken in
isposing the evils of arbitrary licensing, end in fram-
ing the propositions in the Anti-Monopoly Petition,
is made in a taste so little to be expected from such
eminent characters in society ps brewers have nowa-
days become, and so little parliamentary, that I am
Amore than ever strengthened in my opinions against
• system whereof the leaders resort to personal abase
for defence.
The assertion that 66 Mr. Beaumont is a disap-
poiuted Magistrate, who bad come into the Coinasis-
*ion to forward his own interest," is about as decor.
our as if it were said, that a brewer go( Made a Menl•
her of Parliament to keep op a system of excluding
competition in his trade, and of squeezing extra pro-
fits out of the pockets of the labouring poor. Bat
the imputation of improper motiees le made—by what
fact or probability does Mr. Calvert support it ?
NOne. 'And I will venture to say, that the whale
tribe of brewers and licensing Justices are unable to
bring forward a single trait to impugn the purity of
Mr. Beauoiont's motives or acts, or to warrant the
imputation. The whole tenor of his conduct flatly
denies the aspersion. Se far from coanecting him.
self with any of the licensing Justices, by which
means he might effectively have" forwarded his own
interest," he has uniformly, openly, and iodefatigs-
bly opposed and exposed the iuiqpities of their sys.
tern, from the first hour in which he entered into the
Commission. Nay, previously, it is shown in the
Police Report, that he had thrown the geontlet into
the laces of corrupt licensers, declaring, " that when
he got into the Commission', if he really found any so
mean as to traffic with their votes, he would unseat
them, or make them itshanieff of themselves."
But Mr. Beaumont happens to have land at Step-
an end Shepherd's Desk,. on *Nett there are at least
IGO new Mouses. On. eaCh eitate, .some years before
he was in the Commission, he built a public-hoose
fur the necessary accommodation of hie tenants.—
These were natural appendages to his estate—bet he
would out condescend to use any sinister means
to procure them to be licensed—and they were not
licensed ! !—He was forbidden the use of his pro.
petty. Houses which had cost him upwards of Nor
thousand pounds were tendered nearly useless 40 him.
The public-house at Shepherd's Bush, if I mistake
tint, stands empty to this day. These and similar
injuries were minified into by the Police Committee{
and their character is strongly marked and reprobat-
ed in the Report of that Committee. But, according
to Mr. Calvert's logic, because Mr. Beaumont' has
suffered injuries from the licensing system, he ought
not to complain of it. He has been oppressed, and
therefore his counsels for the safety of others that
• after him ought not to be minded. He feels as
on Englishman ought to feel, for himself and coon.
try mess, and, therefore he ought tint to be believed—
but to be abused. My untie. standing leads me to a
very different conclusion.—l 'cannot conceive any
person better qualified to exemplify the errors of
the licensing system, than a Gentleman who has suffer-
ed under its operation, and who (as an independent
County Magistrate) has since been enabled to pene-
trate into its recesses. AS a fellow member with Mr.
Beaumont upon the Anti-Monopoly Committee,
and its other situations, I have witnessed the noticsr
and public-spiiited acts of his conduct, and can
vouch for his being too independent its mind and for-
tune to deserve the aspersion which Mr. Calvert his
cast on his motives as a Magistrate. Mr. Calvert's
" shrewd opinion," that Mr. Beaumont 66 wished
to become a popular candidate, and be returned on
the shoulders of the People for the part he bad
taken," I believe to be as well founded as the rest.
I rejoice, that by the appointment of a Committee, a
public opportunity will be offered for Mr. Calvert to
make good his assertions, and for Mr. Beaumont to
prove that his conduct and character are suns peer a
suns reps oche —I am, Sir,
