[From Cilqukmn's .Pelice of the Metropolis.] At the TOUimpncemcnt of the troubles in iVance, it is a J iucioos fact, that the Lie of the National ?<»Uce, as well as that of the metropohs, had upon his re- gisters the names of not less- than' twenty thousand sus- pected Lmid depraved characters, .whose pursuits were ki?ami to be of a criminal nature yet; by snaking this part of police tiws (mnjediate olycct of the close and uniform atreflfion of one btanch of the Executive Government,, criiaes Wtre much less frequent than in, England and the security exteitded to the public, with regard to the protec- tiusi of life and property again* lawless depredation, was <tniii4 £ teJy greater. To eluCidate: thisusscrtioi), and to sheIV to a utHMierf«lheight the system had advanced, the reader.'is referred to the following anecdotes, whicit were t»an<Soned to the author by a foreign Minister of great in- teSbgence a ad in/oriaatiou, who resided some years at the Court of France: A merchant of high rcspectafaHity in Bourdeaux had oc- kasifiTt to t-mit the metropolis upon commercial business, cairying with him bills and money to a very large, amount. all his airivai at the gates of "Paris, a gentcd, looking jxuki opened the door of his carriage, and addressed him to this e.fect" Sir, I have been waiting for you some time according to tMy notes, you were to arrive at this hour and yom' person, your carriage, and your portman- teau, exactly answering the description I hold in my hand, 2«?u wiii i-wrizilt me to have the honour of conducting yott ta Monsieur de Sartine." The gentleman, a-jifniished and alarmed at this inter- n3p<i«ii, and still more so at healing the name of the lieutenant of the Puiice meMtioned, demanded to know jVliat Monsieur de Surtiiie wanted with hini; adding, at tfee same tnjae, that he never had coiuuiitted any offence against and that he could have no right to inter- fMBt or detaia bini. The Eiessenger dedared himself perfectly ignorant of She cause of the detention stating, at the ,smuc time, that when he had Conducted hnn to Monsieur de Sartine, be, s'iouW have executed his orders, which.were merely iui- siist<eri £ iL Alfetr «oo3e farikir explanations, the gentleman per- »ittoSit'bev>fficiief to conduct him accordingly. Monsieur de Strtiae received lÚm with great politeness' and after Kqaeitiag hisn to hi- seat^sd, to bis great astonishment, he described (us pofnM.fntcaH. and taid hun thft.eMact sum lie bad ia bills and specie which he had brougjit with him to Paris, aftvi wisere he was to lid, his usual time of going to bed,- and a, number of other circumstances, which the genders tin had conceived could only be known to himself. 31'oBiuear de Sartine having thus excited attention, [)' ji< «jc £ rao»diQary question, to him— Sir, are yon a man of •coiurage —The gentkman, still uwreastonishcd at the I «i52g«ias'isy of the interrogatory, demanded thareason why he pat such a strange que^tibn* "addiiYg, at iht same time, that no man ever dOilbted his courage. Mousieuv.de Sar- tine replied-—" Sir, you are to he robbed and murdered this 1iight I;Ü you are a man ufcourage, YOll must go to your hotel-, and retire to -rest at the usual honr:, but be careful that you, do not fali asleep, neither will it be pro- per for you to look under your bed; or into any of the closets which ace in your- bedchamber, (which he accu- rately described) you must place som: portmanteau in its usual situation, near your bed, and discover lIosnspi- cion leave wlwt remains to me.—If, however, you do iiot fed your courage sufficient to bear you out, I will pro- cure you it person who shidi.pcrsonntcyou, and go to bed in your stead." The gentleman being convinced, in the course of the con- versation, that Monsieur de Sartiue's intelligence was accu- rate ill every particular, he refused to be personated, and formed an immediate resolution literally to follow the di- rections he had received. lie accordingly went to bed at his'usual, hour,-which was eleven o'clock. At half past ,twelve (the' time IUcutiolledJly. Monsieur de Sartine) the door of the bedchamber burst open, and three men entered with a xiark lantern, daggers, and pistols. The- gentleman, who of course was 1twake, perceived one of them to be his own servant. Tiicv rilled his portmanteau undisturbed, and settled the plan ot putting him to. death. The gentleman, -all this, and nul knowing by what means he was to be rescued, it may naturaliy be supposed, was under great pcriurbatton of niiad during such an awful interval of sus- peitce when, at the moment the villains were preparing to commit the horrid deed, four police officers, acting un- der Monsieur dc Sa-rtine's orders, who were concealed un- der the bed and in the closet, rijshed out and seized the otreaders with fiM* property in their possession, and in the Let to CDJrHlJ!¡,¡'henltlrder. The consequence was, that the perpetration of the atro cious deed was prevented, and sufficient evidence obtained to couvict the- offenders.—Monsieur-de -Sartine's intelli- gence enabled him to prevent this horrid offence of rob- bery and murder, which, but for the accuracy of the sys- tem, Mould probably have been carried into execution. Another anecdote was mentioned to.-the author by the ,mwMinister, relative to the Kiuperor Joseph the Second That Monarch having, in the year 1.787, forraed and pro- mulgated a new code of laws relative to criminal and civil o.Ierices, amlllaving also established what he cuiceived to be the best system of police in Europe, he could scarcely ever forgive the French nation, in consequence of the ac- curacy and intelligence of Monsieur de Sartine having hcenfoand so illnch superior to his own; notwithstanding the immense paiijs he had bestowed upon that department of his Government. A very notorious offender, who was a subject of the Emperor, and who committed many atrocious acts of vio- lence and depredation at Vienna, was traced to Paris by thepoliee established by his Majesty, who ordered his Ambassador at the Court of France to demand that this delimjiient should be delivered up to public justice. monsieur de Sartine acknowledged to the Imperial Ao t» v.ador, that the person he inquired after had been in i nat, if it would be any satisfaction, he could in- form hlln where he had lodged, and the different gaming- tables, and 0therplaces of infamous resort which he fre- quented while there, but that he was now gone. The Ambassador, alter stating the accuracy and cor- rect mode by which the police of Vienna was conducted,, insisted that this offender must still be in Paris, otherwise the Emperor would not have commanded him to make such an application. Monsieur de Sartinc smiled at the incredulity of the' Imperial Minister, and made a reply to the following eHeet "Dunie the honour, Sir, to inform the Emperor, your master, that the person he looks for left Paris on the 10th day of last month, and is now lodged in a back room look- ing into a garden iu the third story of a house, number 93, in — street, iii, his own capital of Vienna, where his Majesty will, by sending to die. spot, be sure to find,him." ft was literally as the French Minister ot Police had stated. The Emperor, to ins astonishment, found the de- linquent in the house and apartment described; but he was greatly mortified at this plouf of the accuracy of the French police, which, in this instance, in point of intelli- gence even in Vienna, was discovered to be so much su- pertortahisown.. 13y the Sydney (New South Wales} Gazettes to the J 9tli Of August last, weiearn that the state of that colony con- tinues every year to improve, aud, considering the cha- racter of the majority of its inhabitants, is in a state of toierable goyd order and tranuuiUity. The natives in the neighbourhood of Porttand,tie..td had..committed-some enormities, inconsequence of which a detachment of the New South SVatcs Corps had been sent to the relief of the settlers. A few of the hostile natives have'fallen, the. re- mainder dispersed. Since then," says a letter from Portland Head, their rancour has greatly subsided, or, at all events, its consequences have become much less in- jurious than before, and many have -signified a desire of re- turning to their accustomed habits, without which the wants peculiar to the sa vage stale IIlustbc felt wtih inqreascd se- verity, as well from theluss of the.succour- afforded them by the settlers, as froth the relaxation produced by a lortg state of dependence upon the bounty, of. their benefac- tors." The above proceedings took place in- Jute and July last, but at the date of the last accounts tranquillity appeared to be completely restored. The crops of corn had been abundant beyond all precedent, and the agri- cultural state ot the colony was, on the wholes improved to a most promising and gratiiyiug degree. The S'ydney, Gazette also states, tjiat a revolt of some per- sons employed Oil the public works ai- a settlement called- •'Cuitle-Hili, had created considerable alarm in the colony. Headed by Philip C-uuningham, the revolters, to the num- ber of 300, tied from Castle Hill on the night of the 4th of March but by the vigilance of the troops, aided by the well-disposed inhabitants, the greater, number were easily apprehended, and several of the ringleaders, including Cuu- ningham, had been tried and executed at Sydney. Government is said to have contracted with a mercan- tile house in the West Indies, for a supply of 5000 Afri- can Negroes, from the age of 16 to 30, to serve as soldiers iu the Leeward Islands. The contract is to be completed within a year, and application has been made by, the con- tractors to merchants in London and Liverpool,to assist them in completing their engagement. Mr. B. of the lat- ter place, has agreed to furnish one thousand negroes at 551. per head. An alteration has lately taken place in the mnnual and platoon exercise, under the direction and-sanction of the Commander in Chief, who has given orders for it to be adopted throughout the army of England without delay. It is reported that a floating mortar battery, for the bom- bardment of the enemy's ports, has been invented by illr. Congteve. son of General Congreve, of the artillery, which is proof both, against shells and red hot balls. It is, said to be so contrived, that though provided both with masts and sails, for any voyage, yet they can be securely disposed of in less than a quarter of an hour, so that the battery then presents nothing-but a mere hull* with sloping sides upon tiie water, which ig rowed by forty men under cover of the bomb-proofs, and may, by the peculiar construction of the masts and rigging, be brought under sail again as expediti- ously as dismantled. The rudder and mooring aTe entirely under water, and protected by the bomb-proof, so that no disappointment as to them can possibly arise. The bat- tery is armed with four large mortars for bombardment, and four 42-pounder corronades for self-defence,,though 'from being covered with plates and bars of iron, she can neither be set fire to, nor carried by hoarding. Four such vessels, though they are not more titan 250 tons burthen each, and draw less than 12 feet water, would throw upwards of 500 shells into any place in one tide, and with the greatest ef- fect and precision, both because from their construction they have nothing io apprehend from-appfoaching the ene- my's batteries and because from tiIcpeculiarcontrivance of the mortar-beds, the elevation of the mortars is not af- fected by the roiling or pitching of the vessel, Several of our most eminent naval men have seen and aapproved of <' w minimal ww"in ^iw> Trrrrm > in hi f — tife cohtrivtoCe, and it is said that Stinisters have attended to this gentleman's plans, and haveît in cOlJtemp!ation to I I 1- institute, with all expedition, vigorous aud regular bom- bardments of such of the enemy's ports as contain any con- siderable accumulation of their flotilla.. Thursday his Grace Dr. Sutton, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, was consecrated *t Bow Church, according to .'ancient usage, attended by a considerable number 01 Eng- iishPrclates. The return made to the. House of Commons of the num- ber of recruits raised for the army from the 1st of January 'to-the 3.1st of December, 180 makes the total amount to 13,411.. Several opulent and respectable freeholders have soli- cited Mr. J. G. Shaddick to offer himself as a candidate for the county of Middiescx, in the event of a new elec- tion, in opposition to Col. Wood. Law.-—-The Court of King's Bench was occupied six- teen hours on Thursday, in the trial of an indictment, the King v. Passingham, Esq. and J. Edwards, for a conspira- cy, in charging J. Towusend Forester, Esq. a gentlenJau of Worcestershire, with a crime not fit to be named among christians. It was stated, that the object of this conspira- cy had becu to force Mr. Forester to a separation from his wife, between whom and the defendant Passingham, a cri- minal intercourse existed!—Edwards was a dependent of his.—The indictment charged Lieutenant-Col. Thomas Passingham, and John Edwards, Esq. with a^conspiracy to procure the consent of the prosecutor to a separation from his wife, and to compel him to allow her a large sepa- rate maintenance, charging him with crimes of the most un- natural kind. From the evidence it appeared, that the pro- secutor, George Townsend Forester, Esq. of Elmley, Wor- cestershire, was married to a Miss Jones, of Wales, with wholu he lived for some years in the greatest harmony. The defendants were near relations to her by marriage. Great habits of intimacy and friendship subsisted between these parties for years, until the defendant, Col. p,.ssing- lidm, seduced the wife of the prosecutor, and the latter gen- tleman found it expedient to issue a commission of bank- ruptcy against the other defendant Edwards. From that time a conspiracy was formed to charge the prosecutor with unnatural propensities. reports were first circulated, letters were then dispersed, which stated various practices of the prosecutor's, and. lastly, persons were produced be- fore the Magistrates at Bow-street, who gave such positive testimony on oath, as induced them to issue a warrant for the apprehension of the prosecutor. He was arrested on the Coast of Kent; but upon further investigation,, the prin- cipal witness retracted his assertion, and acknowledged it, was false. On the part of the prosecution, a great number of witnesses were examined. The prosecutor himself was rear four hours under examination, in the Course of which he was frequently so agitated as to be deprived of speech, particularly when the subject of his wife and children were called iu question. His own evidence, and that of'the greater part of his witnesses, established the facts oCJlÎs having lived on terms of affection and happiness with his 'wife: and some of them, with whom he had been charged to have acted in a criminal manner, gave the most unequi- vccal teLAliiioiiy of his innocence; many of them adverting to expressions of the defendants, by which it appeared they had persecuted the prosecutor, for the purpose of compel- ling him to. Jjiafee-'a large settlement on his wife, who had violated his bed, and now lived with the defendant Passing- ham. On the part of the defendants, a great number of witnesses were produced, eleven of whom swore to acts of the greatest obscenity committed by the prosecutor but, upon their cross-exa'nmiation, it appeared, that, though the majority of them swore to.circumstances of some years hack,* yet they had never mentioned them, until called upon by the defendants and their agents. The jury, without a mo- ment's hesitation, found the defendants guilty. Bloxham v. Goddard.—The plailltitfis veterinary surgeon in the life-guards, and brought this action against the de- fendant, a private in the same regiment, to recover a com- pensation in damages -for criminal conversation with the piaiutitFt. wife, After the fact had bcen established bv evidence, Lord Ellenborough observed, that the loss of a. woman so to fall into the hands of a common, soldier could not be great and the jury gave tiie plaintiff 501. damages. Suiherwood Y. Ramsden.This was an action against the defendant Ramsdeu, for seducing and debauching the plaintiff's daughter. The plaintiff is a custom-house officer, the defendant a cow-keeper, with a wife and five children. The young woman, it appeared, fell au easy sacrifice to the arts of the defendant. Evidence was brought forward to prove her a commun girtou the.town to which the jury paid no attention, and awarded the girl's father 3001. da- mages. Finch, v. Badger, Cox, Sturges, and others.—This, case was tried in the Court of Exchequer 011 Saturday. The plaintiff and defendants are of the society of people called Quakers; and the action was brought to recover a com- pensation in damages from the defendants, for assaulting and falsely imprisoning the plaintiff, on the 16th of Jan. le01-. The plaintiff, Mr. Henry Finch, lives at Reading, in Berkshire; he was born and bred n Quaker, and from his early manhood until he was 60 years of age, filled the most honourable stations in that society. In the year 1797, at a quarterly meeting of the society, two members were proposed to be expelled, as Serjeant Williams stated, having been found guilty by their synod of paying tithes without a distress being levied. Mr. Finch having under- taken to apologise for their conduct, so displeased, part of the friends, that they succeeded in prevailing on the ma- jority to disown hiiu," winch is a kind of proscription) not from attending the religious part of their worship, but from having any concern in the management of the tem- poral and charitable part of their economy. In this way matters stood till the quarterly meeting of the friends, held in Bishopsgate-strcet, on the 16th day of January, when Mr. Finch presented himself at the meeting-door for admission. It should seem that his visit was not unex- pected, as the six defendants were stationed, three at each door, to oppose him, It was in vain he was informed that the quarterly meeting being on discipline only, and not on rs worship, and he being disowned,had no right to enter he, still persisted, until Mr. Badger took him by the collar, and pulled him from the door down the passage, where he held him for a minute or two, and then let him depart. This was the sum and substance of the assault and'laise imprisonment.—Mr. Piomer conducted the defence; and the whole resolved itself into one point, viz. Whether thfe society had aright to displace or disown Mr. Finch and, if theyliad, were they warranted in keeping him out: of their meetings ? It was held that they had, the meeting, not being at that time for religious worship, but for regu- lating the economy of their affairs, providing for the poor, &c.—A Mr. Harrison, an eminent dealer in the tea trade, in the course of his evidence, clearly defined every reli- gious and moral principle on which the society of friends act, and that in a way so perspicuous and interesting, as to call forth the highest compliments from the Bench.—Ilis Lordship, on the plaititiif's own shewing, was of opinion, that he had no right to force-his way, that he was an in- truder, and that therefore the action could not he main- tained. He was accordingly nonsni.ted.-The Court was crowded with persons of this persuasion, who all appeared., highly interested in the-event, aud pleased with the de- cision. Mr. Henry Quin, a gentleman well kno wn in the fashion- able circles of Dublin, put a period to his existence on Sa- turday last, by shooting himself through the heart with a pistol as he lay in bed. The celebrated musician, Haydn, (says a letter from Vienna,) for whom a funeral service has, bi>en performed in France, is still living, and as hearty and well as a man of 75 can be expected to be. ))I YaTiou,, objections 10 an additional' tax op salt would fill a volume. As a necessary of liie it is of all others, that which the poor man uses most, and the rich man least. The labourer" who earns his 19s. per week, consumes more sail for his own sustenance, than any sixofthe most opulent Peers in the realm do for their own eating. Salt enters more or less into every raw mafertai, v-'iJch is used in agriculture, manufactures, or arls.Itis the basis, of manure. If salt were freed from aii duty, every farmer could make, with inconceivable cheapness, the richest manure. The whole face of, the land would bear witness in a few years, to the policy of diffusing this bless- ing ofProvidencefreetyovertbc kingdom. Nor v ould it only promote vegetation but it would preserve crops. With the liberal use of salt, hay and all the store crops for the use of the animals, which contribute to our food, would not merely be saved, but made to double their nourish- ment. We are just beginning to feel the value of the ap- plication of chemistry to agriculture. In our arts and ma- JJufadures the most common observer knows the value of salt. Let us look only to our iron-works—-that inexhausti- ble source of national wealth. The Members of the House OfCOmlJiolls may see from, the practice of Mr. Bellamy's cook, as they eat their beef-steak in his admirable kitchen, that she cannot make a,clear fire without throwing a hand- ful of salt on the smoaky coal. Let them apply this to all the arts by which our metals -are purified and wrought up. It is a species of suicide in a country, the bowels of which are impregnated with ores, to lay a heavy tax upon that which is essential to firing them into existence. Bon Mot Royal.—R short time since, it was found expe- dient to request of a certain personage, that he would post- pone a. chace the next day for the more pressing business of a council. It devolved on Lord H— to propose the change, who, with all possible delicacy, remarked,on looking to the atmosphere, that, with humble submission, he thought the weather not very favourable to the sports of the field.—" My Lord' replied the personage, you seem to have forgotten that my groom is my chief Hunting Minister, whom I always consult on the measures of hunt- ing, and not my chie(S.y I!J: ,St-te I" A duel lately took place at Paris between a Mr. Corbet and a Mr. Sweeney, both Irishmen they fired seven shots each, the last lodged in Corbet's body, of which he died in a few hours. A very rewarkable circumstance occurred last week in Dean-street. Mr. Moser, a reputable tradesman, had been for some time indisposed, and at his request Mr. Jackson, his partner, was sent for, who had been in the country on business. The day the latter arrived in town, his friend was found dead in his bed, and Mr. Jackson had scarcely entered the house,. when he dropt down, and expired in- staotty. They were both young men of temperate habits and excellent characters. Friday the bill of indictment preferred against Mr. James Thompson, ofLudgate Hill, linen-draper, for setting his house oil fire, was, by the Grand Jury, returned "Not found." Saturday morning, a fire broke out at Mr. Mayo's, No. 8, Quebec-street, Portman-square, which entirely destroyed the inside of the-premises, and though at a late hour in the morning, Mr. Mayo was buried in the and was on Monday dug therefrom. The late Sir Gregory Page Turner died immensely rich. In addition to the 16,700 guineas found in his secretaire, there has since been discovered about the same sum ill his iron coffers. The manner by which he obtained such a quantity of gold was this: it was a constant rule; ivitt) Sir Gregory, to get from his trades-people in settling their bills as many guineas as he could for instance, if a butcher or baker's.biil amounted to only ten pounds, he would tell them, that they must either give him change for a twenty pound uote, the difference to be all in gold, or wait until it was convenient for him to pay it. By this and other means, he collected the sum already mentioned. The will runs as follows I bequeath 5001. per annum in addition to the 7001. per annum, settled on Lady Page Turner at the time of her marriage; I bequeath 10;0001, to my second son; and 10,0001. to each of my two daughters." The bulk of his landed and funded property he has set- -j tied on his eldest son Sir Gregory Page Turner,. It runs thus 10,0001. India Stock, 10,0001. South-Sea Stock, 10,0001. Bank Stock, 70,0001. Old Navy 5 per cents. 60,0001. New 5 per cents. 150,0001. in the 31 per cents, making in the wholethreo hundred and teu thousand pounds, funded property. The net produce of his landed property, is about 24,0001. per annum. The present Sir Gregory will be of age in Sept. 1806. Lady Page Turner is left sole guardian to the four chil- dren.

MARKETS. MARK-LANE, Feb. 25. Our Market this morning revived a little from the heavi- ness of last week, and which felt additional depression on Wednesday and Friday, though very little business was done.on either of those days. In the mealing trade to-day, the arrivals were short, and the sales of tine runs brisk, but not upon terms equal to last Monday. Barley and Mait are each in plenty, and the latter may be.quoted as rather cheaper. White Pease, with the two sorts of Beans, are a good supply, and down 2s. per quarter. Grey Pease, not quite so much. In the article of Oats there is a,dullness, scarcity, and but little variation in price.—Flour remains nearly'the same as last Monday. CurraU Prices of Grain per Quarter as under:— Wheat 76s tov102s0a Polands 32s to 33s 6d Rye 50s to 58s Od White Pease 40s to 44s Od Barley 4gs to 48s 6d Grey do. 40s to ,-is Od Malt 76s to 82s Od Beans 40s to 48s Od Oats 26s to els Od Frek do. 36s to 42s Od Price of fLOUn.
