JANUARY 27. It seems that Mr. Pininey departed b...T9re any thin g . was settled. GuENT, JAN. IS.—When we announced as a public report, that the King, in order to restore activity to one of our finest manufactories of cotton, had granted the sum of 150,000 florins, this distinguished benefit was already realized. At this moment a great number of ....-orknicn are restored to labour, and snatched from the m tst frightful distress. The progressive increase of the price of corn is alarm ing ; wheat hes been sold at '29 and a half florins, or even 30, as is said ; rye aLuvelB. Unless a barrier is raised aguinA this torrent of cupirity, and of external policy, the most fatal presentiments will be realised. There is a power which exerts itself to corrupt the pub lie mind. SAN A\', J. is hoped now, that the ar rangements of the line of demarkation between Prussia and Saxony will soon be brought to a conclusion; Baron Von Gaertner, the Austrian Commissioner, has deliver ed a note, in which he expresses the earnest desire of his Court that the arrangement may be completed by Easter. The Prussian Cabinet has given a note in reply, which consists in an Address to the Government at Memburg. Probably further demands will now be given up. The marriage of the Duke of Saxe Cobnurg with the Princess of Saxe Gotha has caused great joy through out all Sammy, because this marriage had been lung wished. Provisions still remain dear ; however, supplies of corn are still received by the Elbe. LEIPSIC, J.N. B.—The new year's fitir turns out much worse than could have been expected. FRANKronT, JAIV. 15.—The Diet resumed its sit tings on the 13th. The Grand Sultan has sent the Dcy of Algiers six corvettes and flair gun-boats, as a present. The King of Sweden has found it necessary to give relief to the principle merchants of Sweden by a mea sure precisely resembling the issue of Exchequer Hills in thin country, and which has been more than once adopttgi by our Government with the most salutary •fleets. the document which announces this fact dis closes inauspicious,state.of financial aflitirs in Sweden, resulting front the falling otf in trade. It will thus be ken, that every country in Europe is suffering from the same cause ; and the common ..distress calls loudly for the convoking of some convention of negociators to frame Commercial Treaties, suited to the reciprocal wants and resources of the respective European States.—The heal in:, influence of commerce, upon enlightened principles, is alone wanting to confer on the great family of Europe, the prosperity which Peace has always brought in her twin, but which seems unhappily and unaccountably to have been, for the first time, frightened away. Bit EstAu, JAN. 7.—His Highness Prince Midler departed this morning early, in the best health, from this city for Berlin. 111.toino, :2.—The Portuguese Cc.nsnl at Ali cant having communicated, on the 7th of December, that the plague had brolcu out at Tripoli, and that several per3ons lauding from a vessel from Smyrna had fallen victims, the Junta of Health at Lisbon, by an edict of the 21th of the same month, ordered such pre cautionary measures as circumstances require. IMPORTANT FROM SOCTII M'Far lon, who came possengvr in the Hightlyer, intinns, that the fort of Montlanc, whieh commands the King's - road near the Orizam and Cardova, was captured on the I.sth of November, by a force of '2,500 Sponish Royalists. Several attacks were repulsed by the f o rt, but two companies of 'loyalists, throwing down their arms, anti rushing into the fort and Under pretence of joining the patriots, having anus put into their hands by the latter, in the night rase upon them, and, in Pant_ junction with the troops without, subdued the garrison. Gencral Vittoria, the Insurgent Commander of the pro vincc, was, in his turn, besieging the Royalist :. . Pap.rs and letters from Jamaica to the:a December, have been received. On Tuesday the 13th of Novem ber, Mr. Stewart gave notice that he would, on that day weak, take up that part of his (;rove the Governor's mesKagc of the ;;Irt, which related to a more strict oh , sernmce of the abolition laws : and that he should on that occasion move two resolutions, one fa- the appoint ment of a Committee to bring in a Bill for the preven tion ofa clandestine importation of slaves into the island, and the other to bring in a Bill fur a more correct cen sure of the slaves in Jataaica. _ On the question that the Bill do pass, it was deeithidin the alfirmativeby majority of 11. The House of Assem bly also passed on the 19th of November three resolu tions, in answer to a Petition of sundry free persons of ;fain praying to be pl.teed•on the same footing with the white ixiptilation. Tile first. resolution determines that the Assembly granted to the free people of colour ample privileges in as 13, and that they have no claim whatever to political power, so as to to interfere in the alminisiration of the Government. The second states, that the Assembly expected that such a grunt would have been received with gratitude. The third resolution fbrtnerly rejects the Petition and expresses the decided disappratration of the House of Assembly to their prayer. • THE NATIONAL REGISTEIt. Bow snamr. j A most distressing invedigation took place before Mr. Ificks, the Sitting Alagistrat,•, of t lads, brothers, 11441 a°nlotlet• 1$ years of age, for forgery. The arisimers it appeared, went on Tuesday eveniug last to the shop of Mr. Carder, a grocer, in Broadatreet, Bloomsbury, and purchas ed a quarter of a pound of Its. tea 41111 at 00111111 Or su4./r, lids Which the eldest tendered a piece of paper, purporting to be a 11. Bank of Ell Gland note. Mr. Collier liaviug suffered lately from forged notea, interrogated the lad as to how he became possessed of the mite, Sc. Ile admitted the writing at the hack of it to be Ulf, and said his name was Joseph Foilet, and lie resided iu fork tValivorth. Mr. Coe. der, not being satisfied with the Lid's account, sent for a constable, and on the following morning he underwent a private e vaininatioo belOrt: Mr. Hicks; when Mr. Glover, the inspertor of Baulk of Eugland notes, attended, and proved the note to be forged. The prisoner, being called upon for his defence, spoke with soil' a degree of confidence 411(1 firmness as to give it all appearance of correctness; :stat ing, that ha hail toirchased a goose and two fowls of a calla -111:1 11, in a street near Covent-garden, whom lie di,l not know, and gate him a 21. Bank-note in payment, and to change he gave him the If. note in question . : this, however, was lint satisfactory to 11Ir. Westwood, the So!icitor to the Batik, to gether with the prisonee being an engraver by trade, and he was ordered still to be detained, and Vickery, the officer, was dispatched to make inquiriea into the conduct, coeliac tions, ace. of the prisoner; the couseguence has belai, that Iris younger brother was taken into custody fir a similar offesice, and was eXatililll:11 with him t when J. Senior of Drury--lane, stated, that on the Ilth instant, about nine o'clock in the evening, both the prisoners, Joseph and Charles, came to his shop awl asked for a quart er of a pound of I 2 s. tea and a quarter of a pound of chocolate, which eame to 44. 911. a nd Joseph Fillet gave him a li. Bank-note, anti gave Ilk name Joseph Pollett, of Nu.holy V 1 ell-street, lie took the note, and gave the change. The prisoners were committed for trial. Mr. Westwood, the Solicitor to the Bank, attended to conduct the prosecution. A 1111111 of genteel appearance was brought to the office, charged with representiog himself to be the Him. .Irthair St. Leger, for the purpose of defratidiug Col. T. .11rock, of Chelsea. The Colonel stated, that the prisoner called on him at Ins house in a familiar manner, as a brother officer in the East India service, and a Colonel in the Madras Esta blishment, and that his flame was St. Leger; but having no recollectiou of hint, and suspecting him to be AO impostor, he made several inquiries, to ascertain whether lie was the man he represented himself to be, which he could not answer. Col. Alcock had no doubt of his being the man who hail lately defrauded his friend Major (kit. tiarstou, of Nlatiches ter-square, of a sum of money, by representing himaelf to be Gen. St. Leger, and boldly charged hint with it. The prisoner acknowledged his guilt, and begged for mercy; the Colonel, however, had him secured and brought to the office, where he gave the name of Thomas Seagcr. After undergoing au es ainination before the Magistrate, he was committed ' fur further investigation. Sarah Perry (calling herself a married woman), a cook in the employ of Mrs. King. iu Nlancliester-strect, 'Manchester square, was brought to the office on a charge of murdering her new-born infant. The circumstances of the ease were such as to excite suspicion, and yet there is no positive proof that slie been delivered, or bail ever been pregnant. No trace appears of the chile( supposed to have been murdered. Still, oil account of some strange behaviour on the part of the prisoner, the magistrate remanded her fur further exa mination. Two fellows, named Castle and Dignum, anpposed to be long to the Epping gang of firotpads, were brought to the office and committed fur further eaamination. WORSHIP S friEET. A poor man, by trade a blacksmith, residing in Moorfields, applied for relief; lie stated, that hianselland four small chid deco and his wife were literally starving. 'their pride was SI/ great, that whilst they possessed the value of at penny, they would not apply for pat ochial relief. but being over come by hunger, at last they were compelled, and all they had to subsist upon during the week was 4s. tie could not bear to see lilt children starve and must resort to some im proper way of procuring , it, unless lie got saute relief, as they might be dead before the parish would make it convenient to take his ease into consideration. Mr. Mainwaring gave him some money out of his own pockin g awl tottered nu offi cer to accompany him to the overseer, and represent his situation. Si,an of the sailors. who have no parish or settlement, and who had before applied to the Lord Mayor for relief, made application under similar circumstances. The woreliy ma gistrate could only grant sainintniaes for the attendance of the parish officers, in hope that some arrangement !might be made for their relief; at the same time observing, that all the work-houses are overflowing with paupers: and to those who cannot b I admitted; if the allowance is Inn . so trifling it amounts to a considerable sum, the applicants being so ,cry numerous. M % LBOROU GH sTR Err. W. Knight, a youth of all interesting appearance, was brought to this office by his father, who complained of his son's enormous extravagance, she means of siipplying which he conlil not conceive how he ca,use by. lie was in the habit or ilriviug his gig, and friapieiring oringatiasier's balls, %% lien he had been only a de. kto a navy agent at r ing -e ass, at a moderate salary, whose service lie had hastily quitted without assigning any reason, but some pecuniary deficiencies were discovered after his departare. His mili tia.. however, did not think 6t to prosecute hint; and the dis racied parent thought it his duty to signet; his soil, it possi ble, friall the gill pit Of ruin into which he was ',longing head long, and thigethre brought him before the \l., „gales. A Mr. I litelicock, a tailor, complained of the prisoner procur ing a suit of clothes from hint minder false pretences; he, liuwr.ver, did not wish to press tlie mat:Lc against him, as Uc kileW him. it' lie thought that his abstaining from a proseen tiro' would have any etti:et ill l'Cl'istloniii4 hiss. The prisoner was reams ailed for further examination. QUEEN SQVA RE. A Gentleman who said lie NIA Lieliti•nant Colonel of the tied loot. stated, that passing :dung a street in We tmilister, called Brewer's-green, lie saw some oranges ill it shop win dow, of which lie wished to have a ih171 . 11; nit he: teal no silver, lie Told the woman %alio keeps it, !hat if llr could elianife him a 11. note he would purchase a dozen. She an she w uuid, Mid e,illllllllg Mit neverol but he stooped her. saying lie did not like then., and desired to tuuvc his note again ; bat she retitseil to ye either the note or the change. The Magistrate then asked Ir.r why qv! ttatued the gentleman's note? s .'flic woman Vaea, with much confidence, told the Magistrate. that be did not Cone boo her shop to he oranges, but to hr rude to her; that be 1)14 baud into her neckerchief, and lef: the cote there, tts 4 bribe to overcome her scruples. He was proceeding to fake further liberties with her, but she repulsed him with iodic nation ; and wlem lie wanted to have th.. note back 11.411i/l, she refused to give it. Mr. Plaistow told her lie had heard her story with patience, and would give her the, choice, either to deliver the note or go to Ilridewell. He was obliged to repeat his threat throe tine's before she delivered itmp ; when, as soon as she had dune so, the Ahigistrate said, that having dune the gentleman justice, he was ready to do the same towards her; and ifshe wool!' lodge a complaint against him. for an assault, he would hear it, ;mild give her the pro tection of the law. They went out of the Court together; and in eiont ten minutes the gentleman came into C' o ii tby and told the ikLacistrate he was a Lieutenant Colonel of the 62.1, but did not mention his 1131111'. We find ton Lieutenant Cohniels to that regiment, and alimain from the name, lest we should fix on the vs roug one. the woman, on being asked her name, in order• to make out a SUIIIIIIOII4, r.lll out of the office, mid never returns d. Captain Tolson, of the Lif t ' Guards, came to this Why., with an affidavit, the contents of which stated, that he had not hail any criminal connexion with the servant girl who in tile ilic late serious charge against Win. Sir W. Parsons rejected his application to swear him mm it ; and the Captain left the office w ith evident marks of surprise. GUILDHALL. J. Brown was charged with to rob G. Stock. MM. The prosecutor was retorning home on Monday night, o hen when he was met by a femile, who rPipiested him to accompany her home: which he did, and she look hint to her apartments, in Plough court, Holborn. In a short tune after the ptismier rushed from an inner room, and com menced a deadly attack on him, in which he was assisted by, the woman. By superior strength, however, he overcame Loth, and got from them without any other injury than what was done by ; but he had no doubt it was their intention to rob him, The Magistrate coincide) to that opinion; but could only commit him for the assault.
