same tendency again; and that when he comes to publish the report of his trials, he shall feel it his duty most earnestly to exhort all his fellow-citizens to abstain from parodying any part of the holy writ, or the service of the church of England.

Mr Carlile, who has been a prisoner in the King's Bench for some time, for republishing the parodies charged as libels against Mr Hone, was on Saturday night liberated on his own recognizance.

THE PRETENDED DAUPHIN or FRANCE. The following details have been published respecting the person assuming the name of the Dauphin, who is now in prison at Rouen :

He is a young man of about four or five and thirty, handsome deportment, and well informed. He has been now a prisoner two years, during which period he has been sent before two courts for trial as an impostor, and both these courts declared themselves incompetent to take cognizance of this crime. Before one of these courts he was desired by the president to uncover himself. The Dauphin haughtily replied, "When did it become the custo:n that a monarch uncovered him

self to his subjects?" He declares he can prove he is what he assumes, and demands to be taken to the Thuilleries, and when there, he will indicate places where, when young, he concealed several things, which he will there name and describe most minutely; and, says he, when the Queen my mother was in prison at the Temple, she with a sharp instrument made a curious mark on the back of his neck, (which he shews), and with the same instrument she at the same time made a similar one upon that of the Duchess his sister: That when young, and playing with his sister, he with a knife accidentally stabbed her in the body, the mark of which remained; and he will, if confronted with her, describe the very spot where it is.

The sabotier, said to be his father, being called into court, was asked if that was his son? He replied, Yes. The mother being called in, and asked the same question, said, No, and that she had never seen the man before. The daughter corroborated her mother, and said she had never seen him, and that he was not at all like her brother.

He is not closely confined at Rouen, and has always plenty of money in his pockets; he sends for every thing of the best, and when brought in, makes his gaoler taste of it, for fear of being poisoned. Such as go to see him out of curiosity, style him "Sire," and "Your Majesty."

He says, that some years ago, not knowing how to escape out of France, he boldly told Buonaparte who he was; that he did not want to reign, and only wished for a safe escort out of the country. Buonaparte, adds he, named one of his ministers, who is now living, and he saw me safe to the frontiers. This person is living, and he will name him, in order that he may identify him for the man he escorted out of France.

It is strange, that during the numerous interrogations he has had, he has never uttered a word to commit himself. People seem to think there is much mystery in it; for if there is not reason to believe him what he pretends to be, he would long before this have been tried and sent to the gallies. It is said he has a strong party in this country.

It has been well ascertained, that the person poisoned was not the Dauphin. The surgeon who inspected the body of the child given out for the Dauphin, asserted it was not; and for so doing he was found poisoned himself in his bed the next morning.

This young man has travelled a great deal, and has been received at most of the courts in Europe.
