Seven years in Paris, where Ids cousin,
Louis XVIII, some months ago created
him a Peer of Frnuce, but before he couid
procure his patent, the, new Ministry came
into power, ami being himself an avowed
Liberal, his qspccted honrs wer withheld

his father had died at Wexford, leaving

themselves of that to which he was the
rightful heir. Upon receiving this intel

had proceeded thus far when his linances
were exhausted, and he was under the ne

sistance from the Magistrates to complete
his journey. Sir R. jJirnie said, he w on

him with the means of prosecWlng his

at all on such a pallhry subject,” replied
the General with much warmth ; and then
stated that 10 satisfy his coach hire from
Dover to London, he had given up hi*

said the Magistrate ; “and pray may I ask
what trade your Lordriiip follows r”—
“ No trade in the world at all,” replied the
Genera! ; “ I aiu not the person tube after

A person calling himself Mr. V* inter,
| and assuming the manners of a gentleman,
{some time since applied at a house in
iSouthampton Street, Strand, which Mr.
Holt, the Barrister, was going to quit, in
order to become a tenant, and at length
fixed on Saturday to give a final answer,
when he said he should bring two or three
ladies with him to inspect it. Oiders were
given to the seivants, if the family were
from home, to accommodate the party with
the best drawing room ; and at the appoint
ed time the gentleman called, and after|
asking if the ladies were come, and being
[answered in the negative,said, he supposed
| they would soon arrive, and was shewn up’
jstairs. He observed, he expected a gen
jtlcinan to call, whom he requested might
be shown into a room 0:1 the same floor. —
[Soon after a gentleman did call, who prov
ed to be a jeweller, with a valuable assort
ment of goods; when Mr. Winter was
shewn to him, and after inspecting the ar
ticles for some time, he selected four gold
watches, value 100F which lie begged the
jewellei’s permission to take into the uext
room, to show some ladies ; this of course
was granted, when Mr. W. walked into the
room, took lii hat, and decamped. The
[jeweller waited till his patience was ex-[
liausted, when he rang the bell, and stated
the case to the servant, who of com so could
give no satisfactory account of the swind

PERSONALLY came before me, one of the
Justices appointed to keep the peace, Jas.
Johnston of Savannah, and made oath, that, some
time in the year 1813, it having come to the
knowledge of this deponent that certain mali
cious, and. as this deponent then did S; now does
believe, false and unfounded charges had been
exhibited (by a person then unknown) against
Mr. George Horlbeck of said city, and that a
warrant had been obtain'd against him out of
the office of the late Gnfen It Duke, esq ; this
deponent did personally apply to him, the said
Duke, in the name and in the presence of said
Horlbeck, for a copy or perusal of the affidavit
(said Duke stating that there was one, and but
one, in his office against Mr. Horlbeck) which he
refused, as also to give up, on a demand by this
deponent immediately in subsequence made,
the name of the perso.i who had made said alii
davit, but consented to qua sh said wiiituut
(from an evident impression of the inability of
said affidavit) on the contradicto-iy testimony of
Mr Horlbeck alone ! Thi, testimony was accord
ingly given, and received by said jjyke in legal
form, and said warrant was accordingly quashed,
to the entire satisfaction of the deponent, who
verily then believed, and does now believe, that
the said charges were false, and such as have-,
with metaphoric propriety, often been called
“stabs in the dark.”
Sworn and subscribed before me, this 24th of
