FRANCIS. For more ample particulars we mull refer our readers to the preceding extratis, all of which are interelling. We have, however, this day, Tome other  .IMPORTANT DETAILS To communicate, which have not yet found their way int,, the foreign journals. Our readers cannot have forgot the lawlefs aggrefton of France, in entering the territory of Germany in time of peace, and carrying off by force the lament. ed Duke d'Eacniax, who was afterward:murdered. It war thought impoflible that Co atrocious an aft could ever again be attempted, but (portly after another armed baud cot ied off the Britith bliniller, Sir Gsoaos RUMBOLD The fpirited interference of the King of Pruffia obtained his releafe, and it was once more believed, that fuck an outrage would never be repeated. It now appears, however, that Lord HARROW/1Y was way-laid on his journey to Berlin by two men, one of them the fon of a Frenchman now in London. They failed, however, in the °Ned they had in vie*, were form after apprehended by tome Pruffian Offieers, anti after a proper inveftigation of the bufinefs, were fentenced to be hanged. A more daring outrage fiill remained to be attempted, to lhe* to the world the true black character of the Cabinet of the Thalleries. It was conceived to be of importance to prevent or defeat that union of views and operations, which might be expetted to refult from the perronal conference between the two young Monarchs of An& and Proffia, and a plan was in confequake ftwthed by the French, to get the perfon of the Emperor of itnida into theirpotTeifion.  A Correfpoadent, who has the very bell means of being well informed, gives us the following particulars refpating this tranfaftion : HAmßuitott NOVEMBER s&  A molt daring outrage againft the laws of Nations and the cuftoms of civilized Europe, was lately attempted, but molt providentially fruftrated. In this bellifh plot the Eleaor of Bavaria, whole hypoairy towards the Emperor of Germany would alone have been fuificient to hand down his name with infamy to pofterity, was to have been a principal agent. A free page for abody of thirty Bavarianfoldiere through the territory of Gotha was afited and granted ; but, only a few hours before they were to have arrived, the Duke received certain information that they were French regicide: in difsnufi, and that their errand was to feize the potion of the Emperor of Ruffle. Not a moment was loft by the Prince to defeat the objet of there defperadoes ; the permiffion for their pelage through his territories was inftantly revoked, and orders given to, prevent from that moment, with the greateft vigilance every attempt that might be made to evade the mandate...— The fats which I have Rated, I received from fuels high and indifputable authority, that I can vouch for their authenticity. It is to be hoped that the demtion of this and fimilar atrocious violations of the received ufage of nations, will induce a proper circumfpationin every quarter. A more than common vi. glance is neceffary againft an enemy who can have moo ;irk to fuck diabolical machinations.

There is strong reason to suppose the premises were fired by some wicked incendiary. The loss is calculated at nearly atel2oo. Last night, about a quarter before twelve, a fire suddenly burst out on the premises of Mr. BAWL/OMM a carver and gilder, in High-Holborn.. The flames burnt with such tory, that in a short time the home was entirely consumed; but the timely and strenuous exertions of the firemen prevented the mischief from spreading to the adjoining houses.

George Wood, Kid. one of the Judges in the present Concuit. —The trial of the individuals charged with political, or rather with treasonable offences, riches particular interest, from the facts, true or false, which have been stated, in and out of Parliament, respecting Oliver, and the part he is alledged to have acted in the affair at Huddersfield. As the evidence will corm be before the Public, we abstain from all allusion to the statements and anticipations of the provincial journals, especially those of the neighbourhood. Let us hope that the undisguised truth will be elicited on the trials.—thieer, the spy, ii, it seems, a native of WAles, and by trade a carpenter. He was, a few years ago, a s?rjeant in the Whitechapel Voltinteers.  ~ We extract th-e following paragraph from the Nor: cvich Alercury :--.1 Last week A Gentleman WAS brought before the Sitting Magistrates of one of the norther divisions of the county of Suffolk, charged, on the oath of a young Lady of high,rank; niece to a liable Lord, that she was verily afraid that he would carry her away from her uncle's mansion against her will and the public peace, aad contrary to law ; he having followed her from Bath, where he h.d first met her at the public assembly, and became so deeply enamoured that he immediately introduced himself to her family, and on her returning to their seat, in Suffolk, he took up his quarters at an inn in the neighbourhood, from whence lie embraced every opportunity of obtruding himself on her nutice, and %licit laid her under the necessity of making use of. the means above resorted to (miler own security. He described himself as Captain in the Royal Fusileers, a native of Ireland, aati nearly related to a Peer of that lingdom. He WAS required by the Magistrates to find bail for the next Quarter Sessions, himself in aloo and two sureties in re:3o each. Being so perfect a stranger in the neighbourhood this latter reqoisition would have occasioned some difficulty if it bad nut been immediately obviated by the Captain's produjog tao Bank bills of rtlso each, whic , speaking a language universally understood, procurel his immediate enlargement."

Mr. Tinsley said he did not sufficiently know !he man to take upon him to say what hi: character was; he knew him to have been in comfortable cireern. stances, but did not believe that to be the case latterly. His Lordship then plat the case to the Jary, who returned a verdict finding for the presentment, and against the traverser. The Learned Judge then addressed the prie.ser "John Clanchy, you were indicted for a most rna. licious and wicked offence, for which, if yon h id het a found guilty, you would have received the seetec't punishment of the law.

Craig, gardener, Carlisle, gathered, on New Year's day, from one of his trees, a cecond crop of apples ; and there are now growing in his garden two full-blown roses—a very reniaricable circumstance at this season of the year. The long depending question, as to the Woods in the parish of Batley being exempt from Tithes, was finally determined on Tuesday last, when the Barons of the Exchequer determined, that Tithes were not payable, and dismissed the Rector's bill claiming such tithes.  Major CARTWRIOHT was unpleasantly treated at Huddersfield, lately, by some of the Police Officers, who conveyed him before a Magistrate. His papers, on being overhauled, were found to contain the form of a petition to the House of Commons on the subject of Reform in Parliament, and which furnishing no ground for detention, he was politely discharged by the Magistrate. Some tradesmen of the town, however, who were in company with the Major when apprehended, were fined in penalties foe" tippling after nine o'clock at night !" Between ten and eleven o'clock, on Tuesday night last, as the steward of General MONEY was returning home to Trowse-hall, be observed an unusual light on the premises, which appearing and disappearing, induced him to supprse there were some persons who intended to steal the poultry ; he therefore silently returned to Crown Point, and informed General Money of the circumstance ; who, with the steward and two other persons all armed, proceeded to the spot. The night was so dark, that it was scarcely possible to see each other at three paces distance; having posted themselves in such a manner as to render it impossible for any one to escape, they gave tht alarm ; soon after a man rushed out, and dropping a lantern and two empty sacks, knocked down one oil the assistants of the name of Gardiner, who struck at the fellow and wounded him in the hand ; he was, however, overtaken, but not secured until after a desperate struggle, in which he attempted to wrest a sword from the General, and, in grasping the naked weapon, received another wound in the hand. He proved to be John Edwards, of Arminghall, who had long been a suspect:d character. On Thursday last he was fully committed to Norwich Castle. The murderer of Mr. WEBB and his housekeeper, at his house near Frome, has not been discovered, al. though every possible exertion has been made by the Marquis of BATH, on the borders of whose park Mr. Webb's house was situated, as well as other wealthy inhabitants of Somersetshire. A man has, however, been taken into custody on suspicion of the horrid deed, but the circumstances against him are very slight.
