ENGLISH INTELLIGENCE.
BY THE Ills'EATER.
From the files of the English papers with which cap
tain Glover favored the editors of tile Patriot, the follow
ing extracts are made.
The “Statesman” contains Cobbett’s twentieth letter
to the American people, on the prorogation of parlia
ment and the regent’s speech. It also contains his letter
«To the Men of Kent,” on their rejection of the address
es proposed to the royal family, congratulating them on
the marriage of the princess Charlotte.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who died on the 7th of
July, aged 64, seems to be regretted, by all parties in
England. He was a member, of parliament, distinguish
ed for his eloquence and patriotism. He was the author
of the Rivals, the Duenna, the School fur Scandal, the
Critic, and several other productions. His reputation
as a literary man was no less eminent than that which he
'Yarned as a statesman. Having died in extreme poverty,
he has left a rare example of a pure ami disinterested
public man amidst an almost universal corruption in
England.
The king of the Netherlands acceded, July 1, to the
“Holy League” with Russia, Austria and Prussia, con
ceiving that “it will have a beneficial influence on the
■state of society, and the reciprocal relations of nations.”
The London Courier, July 12, betrays a foolish resent
ment at the attention paid to the “illustrious French ex
iles” in the United States.
The following is copied from the London “Sun,” a
a ministerial print, and shews ; the exjkssive delicacy and
refinement of British editors!
The trial of the conspirators in France had been brought
to a conclusion, and three of diem, Poignier, Carbon-
neau and Tolleron convicifed of high treason and con
demned to death.
London, July 11.
The frequent indispositions of the princess Charlotte
naturally occasions surmises that they proceed from a
rouse more agree:tide than otherwise to the feelings of a
nation deeply interested in the happiness of her royal
Highness. It may perhaps expose us to a charge of want
of etiquette to sav any thing' on this subject, but know-
«ing how much gratified tiie country will be by the infor
mation, we cannot refrain from stating, that authority,
more grave than Gossips’ Story, gives us leave to lament
her illness os slightly as possible, and to indulge our
warmest hopes and utter our best wishes on the auspi-
cious married condition of one so dear to the British peo
ple.”
London, July 15.
Yesterday we received the Paris papers of Thursday,
and this morning of Friday last.
Four new marshals of France have been created. The
duke of Coligny. the count de ( Viomenil, 'the duke de
Feltre, and general Bournonville; an equal division be
tween the emigrants and those who have been concerned
in the revolution. Several of the persons implicated in
the late conspiracy have appealed to the court of cessa
tion against their sentence.
One of these papers, quoting an article from Peters-
burgh, says, that in a treaty between Russia and the
United States, the tatter have ceded to the former tw o
of their ports, in the Pacific Ocean. In the Pacific? what
ports can they be?
There is one assertion which they make, which it is-
"proper to notice, for the purpose of contradicting it: It
is, that every new ministry in England, since 1799, have
held out hopes to the Catholics that their claims would
be conceded—an assertion which could only have pro
ceeded from the grossest ignorance.
There is nothing besides worth notice in these papers.
The French funds are lowef, 58 70c.—Exchange on Lon-
tlon 25 1-10.
Paris, July 12.
This morning the persons condemned at the court of
assize were removed from the Conciergerie to Uicetre.
Carbonneau is the most affected. He has constantly pre
sent to his mind the misery to which his wife and chil
dren will remain exposed. Tolleron and Pieignier curse
him for being the author of their ruin, by the declara
tions he made against them when he was arrested. It is
remarked that the moral faculties of Pieignier have be-
•come greatly enfeebled. He no longer desires to see his
wife, Charles and^Lefranc appear affected at the punish
ment to w’hicli they are condemned, on account of their
age. In the port folio of Charles a small knife was found,
•with which he had resolved to kill liimseif. Dervin and
Desbaumes seem indifferent. Mailame Picard is sick;
she has possitively appealed against the judgment. Las-
eause and Warm "testify rather joy than sorrow.
Of all those condemned to reclusion, the two Bonas-
siers, father and son, seem the least affected. Descubes,
Gonneau and Peillippe maintain a gloomy silence. Henri
and Jacques Ozere console themselves with the hope of
pardon, for which they say application was made to a
great princess by the wife of one of them.
The last letters from London speak in a very positive
man*er of an approaching change in the English minis
try, but cast a doubt on the news given in the" English
journals of the duke of Wellington being about to enter
jiito the administration. It would appear that the pmee
gff lord lieutenant of Ireland had been offered him, but
that he did not accept it.
The capital convicts Pieignier, Carbonneau and Tolle-
*>n, have appealed to the court of cessation. Those con
demned to deportation have also appealed, with the ex
ception of Dervin, Desbaumes, and the woman Picard.

We are assured that our court has concluded a treaty
of alliance with the ^United Slates. An article in this
treaty, it is said, guarantees to us the possession of two
ports in the Pacific Ocean.
Genoa, June 30.
Several vessels have again been met with at sea, with
no person on board. Two were recognised to be Spa-
nisly built, and the English instruments found on board
another induce the opinion that she belongs to that coun
try. A French tartane has also been found in this state.
The crew of the brig that brought this intelligence as
serts, that these vessels had been boarded by Barbary
corsairs. It is believed that the vessels were abandoned
after their crews had been either taken or drowned.—

possible, on Saturday.
* July 6. \
Tor some days past, the possibility ofa war in Europe,
has been the talk in Paris. This report haa not the slight
est foundation; We*dd Wot find §ie least tries of it even
hi the English papers, winch arte the echoes of ail Eu
rope, and winch collect all tlje reports, all the supposi
tions, all’the truths, and all the lies. The reason is, that
such an assertion- could not obtain credit in a
where the people occupy themselves seriously about po
litics. All the exterior acts of government visibly prove
the unanimity of their intentions, as well as the unity of
their interests. It is known that amicable arrangements
exist between all cabinets-. No sign, no indication, can
make us conjecture a war, and a continuity of decisive
faith guarantees the duration and necessity of peace.

I presume vot#have already noticed a toast giVen at a
meeting convened at Beauvuliers, to celebrate the anni
versary of American Independence. The Charge- d’uf-
fairs was in the chair; colonel FentVick, vice president, of
the United States, was present—“To the Americhn .Yavy,
which can reply in the same maimer to the Turks und the
English."
The Abbe de Pradt’s work of the 30th March, is al

Lonriin, July Jl).
The most important piece of foreign news we have
to-day, is communicated in private letters from Paris.—
It is therein stated, that some extraordimS-y events are
passing in the south of France—in the department of Ly
ons, and that the duke of Angouleme is gone to the Spa
nish frontier to receive the Spanish army of 30,000 men,
intended to facilitate some measures at present in con
templation, the nature and object of which are not clear
ly defined. Fresh troops have also been marched to Ly
ons, where great disturbances are said to have been ex
cited by the arbitrary measures adopted to levy troops
for the royal cause.
Lord Liverpool, it is said, certainly retires on account
of ill health. Mr. Vansittart is also represented as hearti
ly sick of his office, which Mr. Canning w ishes to see
filled by Mr. Huskisson, Marquis Wellesley has been
strongly solicited to join in the new arrangement, and
iora Erskine to l-esunu the seals now held by lord Eldon.
The recent arrival of the duke of Wellington* has given
some appearances of consistency to these rumors but we
cannot vouch for their accuracy.
The Mediterranean expedition will rendezvous at
Portsmouth; and the different ships of war at Plymouth
are fitting out witli the utmost dispatch. - The bomb-ves
sels at Sheerrifess and Chatham put into commission for
this service are in a forward state, and will be ready for
sea in a short time.
Liverpool, July 13.
Some of the Flemish papers received in the early part
of the week, state that the king of France has lately
adopted several measures for the augmentation of his ar
my; for rendering it more speedily effective, and for
placing his military establishment more on a level with
that of the other great powers of Europe. In pursuance
of this plan, it is said, he has lately admitted to his confi
dence and consultations, marshal SuclAt, Champagny,
duke ofCadore, and others of the most effective agents
of the late government, with the view, if possible, to pro
pitiate the oid army, and secure its services for new ob
jects of ambition.
Rumors have been in circulation for the Fist few days,
that our public revenue, for the quarter ending the 5th
July, has fallen very short of its expected amount, and
from the silence of the ministerial papers on the subject,
vve are apprehensive that the report is not without f< •n-
dation. Such a defalcation must Necessarily be expet.-J,
after the extraordinary sU,|lmtion which, for some tune
past, has been felt in every branch of our national indus
try, It would seem, to adopt the idea of an eloquent
writer, as if there had been a sudden and unanimous de
termination in all quarters, to suspend the use of almost
all the articles ofconsumption! Our national revenue is
the pulse at which this languid circulation of the system
is immediately felt, and we are only surprised to find
that it has not been felt sooner. Our ministers, it must
be confessed, are, placed in a most arduous situation,
with a deficient revenue on the one hand, and on the oth
er a people equally unable and unwilling to beat addi
tional taxation. Mr. Pitt has been emphatically Called
“the Pilot that weathered the storm,” but we are told
that under some latitudes there are calms which are not
less to be dreaded than the most horrible tempests. If
our present administration can weather the fearful calm
under which the r active and enterprising spirit of the
British nation now languishes, we shall think them at
least as deserving as Air. Pitt of the gratitude of the
public. In our opinion, no great nation was ever placed
in a crisis which required more firm and dexterous ma
nagement.
We have received the Paris papers of Sunday and
Monday. The trial of the conspirators has been brought
to a termination. Three have been condemned to death,
and as the plotting against the king’*.life is considered
as parricide, these three are to have their right hands cut
off and immediately afterwards to be guillotined. Eight
are sentenced to deportation. Nine to be confined for
a certain time, and eight were acquitted and set at liber

be drafted into the Queen Charlotte, Alinden and Lean-

obtain a sufficient number of new raised nien, will be
completed from the crews of other peace home ships.
It is said that the Dutch fleet will co-operate with our’s.

We received this morning Aladras papers to the 24th
February, inclusive. We had previously had Bombay
papers to a late date; the former therefore could not be
expected to bring such late information. The advices
from lord Aloiru state, that Scindia was at Gwaltor with
his army; tiie Madras army, 30,000 strong, was in the
Oekkan at Etichpoor, and the Nizam’s and the Peishwa’s
subsidiary troops at Jaulna. The Bombay army is ready
to move. All these circumstances seem to announce war
upon a very extensive scale.
Tiie captive family of Candy has, landed at Aladras
from Coiumbo, and been sent to Vellore.
A .ail from Flanders arrived this morning, and one
article brought by it corroborates the statement we made
a day or two ago of the pacific intentions of the emperor
Alexander. He has -lately ordered his ambassador to de
liver to the Divan a note expressive of his pacific wishes,
declariiig that he has no other desire than to see Europe
at peace after her violent agitations.
Vienna, June 24.
We learn from Constantinople, that the Russian ambas
sador, count Itaiinsky, is recalled, and is going to Rome
on a mission from his court. He is succeeded by Mr.
S._ogonofr. Before he left Constantinople, Mr. d’ltalinsky
delivered to the Devan an official note to assure them of
the pacific intentions of the cabinet of St. Petersburgh.
The minister says in this note, that the emperor his mas
ter has no other wish than to see Europe at peace, after
the violent agitations which it has suffered. This decla
ration has given very great satisfaction to the sublime
porte.

The Paris Journals of the 8th, received this morning,
are ppssessed of considerable interest. They detail the
sentences of the poor wretches at whose, farcical trial we
have been laughing without a thought that its termina

day night, the jury returned their verdict, and the fol
lowing sentences were pronounced on Alondcy raorn-

A Hamburg mail-, which arrived last night, takes pains
to inform us that the very best understanding exists be
tween Russia and Sweden. What called for this assur
ance? The same authority tells us that the king of Swe
den having spilt to Petersburg 200 honorary -tnedais to
be distributed to the Russian army, the emperor .Alex
ander returned the compliment by sending to the crown
prince of Sweden 20o silver crosses of St. George, to be
giveil to so many Swedish soldiers who have distinguish
ed themselves in war. In our humble opinion it will
greatly puzzle the crown prince to discover the number
entitled to wear the crosses, if they are to be taken from
the Swedes he commanded in the last war:
In the course of last week a large proportion of royal

His royal highness the prince regent has received a
communication from the emperor of Russia, signifying
that his imperial majesty the emperor has sent, as a mark
of his esteem and regard for his royal highness, a set of
horses, which have been put on board tiie Russian fri
gate La Mure, and are daily expected to arrive^ in this
country. By all accounts, these horse's are of a remark
ably be-ai o il species, and not unworthy of being even
an imperial presenttothe ruler of Great Britain.

It is stated, in a letter from the Mediterranean, that a
captain of one of his majesty’s frigates had, by going on
shore, fallen into the liands of the Algerines, who, with
the most refined cruelty, nailed him to a c 1*033, making
him suff er the most excruciating tortures. Some Turks,
who wctc present; moved to pity by his sufferings, at
tempted to release him, but were shot dead for their hu
mane interference. The captain’s name is given in the
letter which communicates the intelligence; but we for
bear to mention it without further corroboration of the
fact.

than is generally imagined; and that in order to relieve
them, liis royal highness the prince regent, a short time
^before Air. Sheridan’s death, generously sent liim two
hundred pounds. The gift, at such a time, must have
been highly valuable, both for the comforts it furnished
—comforts, which it is lamentable to hear, were often
before wanting—and for the testimony afforded of the
prince’s continued regard for this celebrated man.
