day morning, and was conducted into a room ad-
joining the chapel, with a boarded floor,' letely occu-
pied by the celebrated &tames, and some years ago
by the Maniac Haerreeo, who attempted the life of
the KING. One of the head turnkeys, and two
other persons, sat up with him all night, and he re-
tired to bed soon after his arrival at Newgate ; but
was very disturbed, and had no sound sleep during
the night. lk rose soon after seven o'clock, and
requested some tea for breakfast as soon as conveni-

Some bread and butter, of which he eat but
little. He was visited yesterday by 'the Sheriffs
and, a few other public characters, but no private
persons were suffered to see him. He conversed
very cheerfully with the Sheriffs, and other* who
were in his room, and expressed no regret for the
deed which he had perpetrated, conceiving himself,
as he stilted; justified in- what he had done ; and

Alderman COWIE, as one of the Committing Ma.

for that purpose weut to the house of a respectable
woman where he lodged, near Guilford-street, but
could learn from her nothing that indicated- any con•
spiracy with others. His landlady represented him
as a quiet, inoffensive man, though at times rather
eccentric, which she instanced by observing, that
when he had lodged there only three weeks, at
10s. fhl. per week, she was surprised to find that he
had given her servant-maid half-a-guinea for herself.
On being told the deed which he had perpetrated at
five o'clock, she said that was impossible; for that

We understand that Mr. FOSTER, the British Mi:
nister, had an interview with Mr. MONRO On Satur-
day, at which he informed the Secretary of State,
that whenever the Government of the United States
Would produce to himself, or to the Government of
Geed Britain, an official document of the repeal of
the Berlin and Milan Decrees, the Orders in Council
Would be I mniedintely revoked ; and that should
Congress pass a law, authorising merchant vessels to

Would be consldeeed a Declaration of 'War, and his

ment cease. •

specting the mehincholy, subject of Mr. PERCEVAL'S
assassination, he became less tranquil, persisted in
vindicating ae act, and said, when his trial came be-
fore a jury of his countrymen, it would then be de-
termined how far a Minister was justilled in refusing
justice to au injured individual. Had he shot Mr. P.
from personal malice he should bare been worse than
a brute. it wit% the Minister* and not the man, that

that had he t million of lives tb We, they would a6t

On Wednesday morning, Mr. James Stevenson,
fishmonger, of Newark, was fount) drowned in a
pond about half a mile from that place. It is re•
markable that this man had for some Years been in
