During the transaction of some preliminary busin g s the President of the Council, the Keeper ofthe Seals, the Ministers for Foreign Affairs, for the Interior, and for Marine, and Count Digeon, charged with the portrfeu'dle o f t h e war department, were introduced and took their seats. The discussion which was fixed for the day was the law of finances, and it was opened hy M. De LABOURDONNAYE, who, in a speech ot considerable length, contended that tbe budget, being presented in time of war, and vet, not including all the expenditure required for a period of peace, was, in reality, a mere fiction, which did not deserve the honour of serious discussion. The object was to create a false impression as to the real state of the finances of the country. He then proceeded to animadvert upon the tardy and indecisive policy of M. de Villele, with regard to Spain, and upon the failure of his promises, when he entered the Ministry, that royalist principles should obtain a signal triumph, " Are we," continued M. De Labourdonnave, " to regard, as the triumph of royalist doctrines, those long and ridiculous efforts at conciliation between an active revolution and the King whom it has dethroned? conciliation, whose success would only teach the factious of every country, that it is merely necessary lo succeed in overturning every thing, in order, afterwards, to obtain every thing from a short- sighted policy, which seemed to replace royalty on the throne only '. he more to humiliate it? Are we to consider as the triumph of royalist doctriries that ambulatory diplomacy, placed in the rear of our army, to watch for a moment of weakness, and to seize a conciliation, by surprise, which woukl now be the more odious, because it would seem less the result of the free- will of the monarch, who has always rejected it, than of that weariness of captivity, now the more galling from the barbarity of being, dragged from dungeon to dungeon ? Are we to regard as the triumph of royalist doctrines, the impunity of those provocations to disobedience in the army, which all France has witnessed ? Are we to regard, as the triumph of rovalist doctrines, the impunity of those attacks against every tiling which is most august in France, and which has so long been permitted in the columns of certain journals ?" Adverting to tbe preparations made for carrying on t h e war a g a i n s t S p a i n . M . D E LABOUKDOHNAYE thus proceeded:— " " Undetermined as to voar projects, you dare nst either entirely get rid of a war which it would be too dangerous now to abandon, nor ret enter upon it at once in the spirit of decisive enterprize, which you know not how to manage, which you cannot conduct with sufficient vigour to be certain of success- Thus, by the most astonishing, the most fatal contradiction, the army, full of ardour, remains upon our frontier, and no measures are yet taken to lead it rapidly to tbe spot where the Spanish revolution should be decided. By the same astonishing and fatal contradiction, the apparent preparations are for war, while the real ones are for peace. You still remain upon your own territory, where two seas unite to give every facility for establishing maga- • zines, which you have had six months to prepare, and already your cavalry is in want of forage, and , the most urgent want is felt on every side." Exclamations on the right and the right centre— " False! false ! Leave those impostures to the revolutionary journals!" A voice—" That is not said from the tribune." M. D E LABOURDONNAYE—" I say i t , because I am certain of it.." Several voices—" It should not be said, even if it were true." Other members—" Happily it is false." M . DE LABOURDONNAYE c o n t i n u e d , and complained that under a loyalist ministry all the various offices were not given to persons sufficiently devoted, sufficiently energetic, to cause the laws to be executed. He concluded with the following declaration :—" Limited to the single power of refusing my suffrage, 1 vote against the projet of law, because the s v6tem of finance upon which it is founded is destructive of credit, buidensome to the treasury, and dangerous to the throne. I vote against i t because it would be compromising the interests of France, nnd of the legitimate dynasty, to grant to the President of the Council of Ministers the means of perpetuating a system of imbecility and of temporizing, which is dragging us rapidly into revolution, bv means of anarchy." Several voices on the right called fbr the printing of the speech; but a greater number exclaimed, " No, no." The question for printing was put to the vote, and rejected by an immense majority— M. DelacroiXrFiainville, and other members of the left centre, united with the great majority of the right, and the whole of the right centre, in voting against the motion. The extreme left of the Chamber continues to be deserted, and its benches are filled with ' lie deputies of the right. The President of the Council replied to M. De - Labourdonnave, but he confined himself entirely to the vindication of. the budget uport financial principles and calculations. He concluded by saying— " 1 limit myself to those explanations, the onlv ones which would be worthy of you or of ourselves." ( Almost unanimous marks of approbation.) M. De Vaublanc and M. De' St Cricq, Royal Commissary and Director- general of Customs, followed. after which the discussion was adjourned till tlie following day. SITTING OF APRIL 1. The sitting opened at two o'clock, and the assembly proceeded to the order of the day on the project 1 of the law ofthe finances for 1824. A long and tedious discussion took place on a point of oi'der, which terminated in M. LEROUX DE • CHATELET reading a long discourse, in which, after dilating oil the war wiih Spain, the revolution, the Carbonari, antl the Minister, he concluded by moving several amendments. M- DE BOIIVILLE proposed as an a m e n d m e n t, that 240 millions should be raised, and placed at the - disposal of the Minister, redeem > ble according to a plan which he submitted. He then suggested a svstem of finance to remedy the inconvenience Arising from the creation of rentes. ( This system will be fully developed on the discussion of the amendment.) M. DE VILI. ELE began by eulogising the siig^ es- . tion of 51 De Bonville, to whose system he neverthe- , less was decidedly opposed. We have, said M. De Yillele, but two modes of supplying our wants by taxes, for meeting the ordinary demands on Government, and hv thecreation of rentes for supplyingthe deficiency of such taxes. The only difficulty feltliv Jli' . iverament at this moment is, the having tbe accumulation of such rentes on hand. But the inconvenience is, nevertheless, not,, so dangerous as is represented. We have at present an issue of rentes to tbe amount of 1110 millions; of these 66 millions are alieadv rendered immoveable, and the redemption fund operates on the remaining 114 millions, with a capital of 80 millions. Since the 1st of January that fond has not. been shackled by any farther issue. M. DE VILLELE concluded by declaring that tbe state was rapidly approaching towards the point at which it will be completely liberated from difficulty. Our siturtion is altogether transient; it is not the effect of war— it is that of threatened war, and of the uncertainties which attend that menace; and that • which is most greatly dreaded by the French is— incertitude. He finally expressed his belief and hope that this explanation would be satisfactory to the Chamber, and dissipate the general inquietude. M. HYDE DE NEOVILLE, with e x t r a o r d i n a ry volubility, read a discourse, in which he declaimed with great heat against the revolution and the tyranny of office, which he termed the ulthnus moriens. He complained loudly that there had been no ef. ficienl reduction in the expences of tbe administration of the interior, whilst the funds of the rffice for Foreign Affairs were insufficient to maintain the honour of the nation,—( Interruption by protracted ; *' • peals of laugbtef.) ~"< The sitting closed* t six o'clock. . • Paris, April 1, [ From the Qnolidienne. l f- Ter Royal Highness Madame the Duchess < l'Angouleme will set off on Wednesday. She will be accompanied by Madame the " Duchess de Damas, Madame the Viscountess d'Agoult, gentlemen of honour. His Royal Highness the Duke el'Angouleme returned to Toulouse from Perpignan on the 25th ult. at half past t w o o'clock. At noon on Maunday- Thurstlay ( the 27th ult.) t h e Prince Generalissimo set off for Bayonne. A report f r om Marshal Moncey, which has reached Government, contradicts all the statements from the frontiers which have been recently circulated, and gives the best idea of t h e spirit of t h e soldiers, and t h e most positive and most favourable information respecting the situation of t h e army. Notwithstanding t h e affectation with which t h e liberal journals have remarked upon the manner in which the last royal ordinances are countersigned, we again say, that M. the Marshal D u k e de Belluno has not ceased to be Minister of War. [ From the l'ilote of Wednesday.] Paris, April 3 There is again talk of a demand of 50,000 men, by anticipation, upon the conscription of 1823, which will be made to the Chamber. A private letter f r om Bayonne, dated the 27th ult. informs us that the Trappiste has been entirely defeated near Irun, and has ret u r n e d to Bayonne, followed only > y one servant. It adds that General Quesada, who had passed t h e frontier, has also been completely beaten- Advices f r om t h e frontiers, dated the 23d and 24th ult. state, that two attempts have been made against Irun, by the combined bands of Gorostidi and the Trappiste, who only succeeded in b u r n i n g t w o houses. The constitutional troops hastily arrived and put the aggressors t o flight. Letters from Pampeluna, dated the 17th ult. state, that Colonel Pablo, with 60 horse, attacked a body of the factious, consisting of 100 cavalry, at Mont Real, of whom they made 27 prisoners, and took 56 horses, and various articles of military clothing. Intelligence from St Sebastian, dated the 23d ult., announces the arrival in that dist r i c t of General Ballasteros. On t h e 26th ult. t h e Police Commissaries of Bourdeaux proceeded t o an hotel in that town, to arrest an individual who had been denounced by superior authority. They, however, only seized two boxes belonging to him, as he h a d escaped. A letter from Havre, d a t e d the 31st ult. states, that an order has been received in that port to enrol t h e coast guards. His Excellency the Minister of t h e Marine has charged the Commissary of Marine to inform the commercial interests, that a f r i g a te will sail f r om t h e isle of Aix, to convoy merchant ships, and that another will sail from Brest on the 14th of May, after which no man of war will take charge of convoys until t h e month of September. This information has spread consternation in the mercantile community, who, seeing that t h e e will be no ships of war for t h e protection of their vessels d u r i n g an interval of four months, will be obliged to dismantle thern.

STATE OF IRELAND. JOHN, EARL OF ST VINCENT, Viscount St Vincent, Baron Jervis, of Meaford, in the county of Stafford, One of his Majesty's honourable Privy Council, and Admiral ofthe F'leet, General ofthe Marines, Died March 15th 1833, In the 89th year of his age. By t h e arrival of the American ship Honqua, at Liverpool, f r om China, accounts have been received f r om Canton, of a later date [ From the Times.] I f strangers are to take their impression of the state of certain portions of Ireland from those authorities which ought to be and probably are at once the most dispassionate and the best informed, it must be a melancholy impression. Baron M'Clelland, on a recent trial at Monaghan, declared that the county ( of Monaghan) " was rapidly going back to a dark and benighted state— to an age of barbarian ignorance." We are not without our own fears that the opinion of the learned Baron is well founded. It has been reported to us hv accurate observers of the face of Ireland, and of the progressive changes amongst her people, that in many tracts of Ulster, more especially tow ards the south of that province, the preponderancv ot'that class of the inhabitants who claim to be of Scottish descent, and who follow the Presbyterian mode of worship, has become less decided and conspicuous every year. The character of the southern peasant population spreads over the country more and more, while the ranks of the Protestants are thinned, their power gradually undermining, and their peculiar habits merging in those of the mass which grows and thickens around them. Such are the facts asserted, and now for the cause assigned. It is said, that the redundancy of the southern population has been annually more apparent j that, as land, and with it food, throughout Munster and Leinster, have become less acces sible, new swarms of emigrants have been thrown off from the over- peopled districts; and that the progress of emigration has been towards the north, because to large bodies of the native Irish a land journey would appear a change less expensive and less formidable than a voyage to America or even to Britain. In the north besides, land has been more reasonably rented than in the south of Ireland ; because the best proportion of the northern tenantry have, until late years, been Presbyterians, who would not forego the comforts of life, and would, therefore, exact for themselves a share of the produce of their own labour. But such men could not, or rather would not, stand a rivalry with the half starved strangers of the south. They would not bid for an acre of potatoe land against hungry savages, who were content with just so much of the crop as would keep them from expiring, and who laid no stress on the enjoyment of comforts, of which they had no knowledge. By these hordes the Presbyterian has been driven from his native soil. He has packed up his goods, carried off his savings, his industry, and his skill, as a linen- weaver, and has in his turn become an emigrant ; but he migrates across the Atlantic. This unfortunately has been the course of events with many thousands of the old inhabitants of Ulster. those who sengers, who had plunged into the sea at the sawe1 moment as the Captain, were observed to cling to his body, in the hope of saving themselves by that means ; but such was the crowded state of the boat, which was almost level with the water, that the crew dared not venture to take any more into it, and they were abandoned to their fate. There were at this moment seventeen of us in the boat. When we rowed finally off, we left four or five unfortunate men struggling in the water, with no chance of escape from an untimely grave. A boy, about fourteen years of age, and who, as I understood, was the cabin bov, was about this time observed to lash himself to a piece of wood, and throw himself into the sea, in the hope of supporting himself till the arrival of succour. Just as it was determined to quit the sinking vessel, a man got hold of tbe boat, to which he clung, earnestly entreating the crew to take him in; but they, fearing that the boat miaht be sunk by the additional weight on one side, lashed him lo its side. In this state he remained for nearly half an hour; when the people, finding that he retarded the boat's way through the water ( the tide then running strongly against them) deemed it expedient, at all risks, io take him in, which they happily accomplished. During the time we were rowing towards the shore, which was attended wiih great difficulty and fatigue, I kept my eye fixed upon the packet, which was driving fast off Ihe land. Ofthe precise moment at which she disappeared I cannot speak with certainty; but she must, I think, have sunk about three quarters of an hour after we quitted her and whilst we were in the act of landing; for when I looked for her from the shore 1 could not discover her, and a man who met us when we landed stated that lie had seen her go down. No sooner had the crew landed the passengers who were fortunately saved, several of whom were in a state of great exhaustion from having bee » in the water, than they heroically resolved, although the boat was nearly halt full of water, lo return, with all expedition to the spot where the packet was supposed to have sunk. They went accordingly, and succeeded in rescuing three individuals, who had sustained themselves in the water by some buoyant article, from a watery grave. " It were in vain to attempt to describe thescene of horror which the deck of the packet exhibited, when we we- e on the point of quitting for ever the multitude which crowded it. It was a scene which would have melted the hardest heart. For some time before that moment, all hope of preservation had been entirely abandoned; and the unfortunate crowd were awaiting in awful suspense the dreadful death which stared them in tbe face. Many of them had fallen on their knees, and were imploring the mercy of Heaven; whilst others were sending up the most piteous and heart- rending screams, which drew tears even from those in the boat who had some chance of escape. " There were many women on board, with young children, to whom thev clung with a mother's' fondness in this scene of death; the frantic shrieks extorted by their maternal agony were most piercing, and were heard long after the boat had quitted the sinking wreck. A poor soldier had his whole family on board, consisting of bis wife and several children, and was observed endavouring to afford them that Bank Stock i) per Cent. Red shut 3 per Cent.

The comfortable home, the decent habits, and the manly spirit of the P otestant linen- manufacturer give place to the filth, ferocity, and lawlessness of the genuine Munster savage. This we heiieve to be a faithful picture. It fills up the outline, which the learned Judge has sketched. At the bottom of the mischief is that original sin, the false relation between the Irish landlord and his tenant. One bad law indeed helped obliquely to foster it, the law which established an elective franchise in fa- LONDON, APRIL 4. BRIGHTON, April 2-— It is with much concern we state that his MAJESTY experienced a f r e s h attack of gout in his foot last night, which, however, was as slight as sudden, and, we have the happiness to add, that his MAJESTY was pronounced much better this morning. At this time, half- past nine o'clock, p. m. t h e physician's report is equally favourable. A Council would have been held at the Palace to- day, but for the above e v e n t ; its delay is not expected to exceed a day or two. BRIGHTON, Thursday, April 3. t h r e e o'clock p. m.— The slight but sudden re- visitation of gout in his MAJESTY we mentioned yesterday. It is with extreme satisfaction we this day add, that the promising symptoms of yesterday were not fallacious. The gratifyi n g report to inquirers at the Palace thijj morning has been-—" H i s MAJESTY has had a good night, and is much better to- day." The Duke of YORK was often in public yesterday. His Royal Highness, who is again looking remarkably well, has been in several of the streets to- day, though the weather lias been cool, and, at intervals, damp. t h e inhabitants of that city were rapidly clearing away t h e r u i n s occasioned by t h e late conflagration; and that temporary habitations had been formed in the vicinity, until the houses could be rebuilt. Considerable impediments had been thrown in the way of commerce by this unfortunate catastrophe, but it was supposed that no failure among the H o n g merchants would take place, although two of that body had been severe ufferers, and consequently that t h e European loss would be confined to t h e amount of property actually consumed. The destruction both of life and p r o p e r t y was, however, stated to have been rather exaggerated in the accounts previously given at Canton. DREADFUL FIRE.— Soon after ten o'clock last night an alarming fire broke out on the premises of Mr WEAKLEY, child bed- linen warehouse, H i g h Holborn, between Dean Street and French Horn- yard.— The flames were first discovered by a young man passing by, b u r s t i n g through the shop shutters, and he having given the alarm, every means were resorted to to warn t h e inmates of their danger ; ladders were placed against the windows t o assist t h em in making their escape, b u t no persons made their appearance, and it was feared they had fallen a prey to the devouri n g element, which by this time had gained an alarming ascendancy, and the greatest apprehensions were entertained for the tenements in the rear of the house in French Horn- yard, as also t h e houses on the right and left of t h e one on fire. The road ror which has seldom been equalled, and such as, I trust, I shall never behold again." This most dreadful shipwreck appears, from the in formation which we have been able to gather, to have been caused by the packet being kept close in with the Welsh shore. If a vessel can be run between the Skerries and the main land, the passage is, we understand, thereby considerably shortened. This, it is supposed, was the object of the Captain of the Alert; but, the breeze dying unexpectedly away and a strong current running in the direction vour of forty shillings. Catholic freeholders has ever | 0 f the breakers, aioss of human life ensued, the bare since held out to ambitious and intriguing landlords j mention of which makes one shudder. The Captain, a bounty on the multiplication of pauper families throughout Ireland. This encroachment of the worst, upon the most useful, class of inhabitants, we apprehend lo be an unquestionable truth, anilwe are sure, that it deserves the most anxious and unceasing con. sideration. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 10th January :— lly the arrival of his Majesty's ship Andromache, Commodore Nourse, last from De Lagoa Bay, we learn that his Majesty's ships Barracouta and 1 . even, surveying vessels, had suffered much from the effects of the climate, on the east coast of Africa ; and that Captain Cutfield, ofthe former, and Captain Litchmere, of the latter, were both dead, besides several officers, and about 60 men. we hear, is like a man distracted, fearing that the catastrophe will be imputed to neglect or carelessness on his part. The gentleman, from whom we received the substance ofthe preceding narrative, was not on deck, when the vessel was drifting towards the rocks; but he said, that it was his individual opinion, as well as the opinion ofthe survivors, with whom lie conversed, that no blame was imputable to the Captain. Twenty- nine ofthe bodies have been found and taken to Holyhead Church- yard. SPORTING. MONDAY— APRIL 7. T h e Paris papers of Wednesday, which have arrived, are totally silent r e s p e c t i n g t he commencement of the war, The most remarkable fact which they notice is a violent opposition speech by M. DE LABOURDONNAYE, a royalist member of t h e Chamber of Deputies, on the subject of t h e l aw of finance, in which he accused Ministers of a w a n t of due e n e r g y and decision in c o n d u c t i n g the war agai- ist Spain, and enforced his a r g u m e n t by some assertions with respect to t h e deteriorated condition of the army. The Minister, M. DE VILLELE, in his reply, m a d e no' attempt to repel the charges of indecision and irresolution b r o u g h t against himself and his colleagues, or t o deny t h e assertions as to t h e incomplete state of the a r r a n g e m e n t s for t h e supply of the troops to Be employed against Spain. In the course of his speech he explained that the present expence was greater t h a n that which is l i k e l y t o ensue.— k This answer, if it can obtain any c r e d i t for sincerity, certainly may be t a k e n as a n argument, t h a t , even at t h i s l a t e h o u r , peace is n ot absolutely hopeless; for t h o u g h it is easy enough to u n d e r s t a n d h o w an accommodation may lead to a diminished e x p e n d i t u r e, yet such an effect could n o t b e p r o g n o s t i c a t ed f r om a p r o t r a c t e d campaign. An improvement which has, w i t h i n a few days, t a k e n place in t h e F r e n c h and Spanish securities, has also g i v e n rise t o a n u m b e r of pacific rumours, which have assumed various shapes. One states that FERDINAND had' written, under t h e advice of Sir W. A'COURT, a conciliatory l e t t e r to L o u i s X V I I I . Another asserts, that such a letter was to be written ; b u t neither of these rests ori any a u t h o r i t y . LOSS OF T H E ALERT PACKET. The following, painfully interesting particulars of SECOND EDITION. Sun Office, two o'clock. We stated in a second edition of The Sun of Wednesday last, that t h e French declaration of war had been received by our Go vernment. Yesterday was t h e day appointed for its discussion, with our Foreign- Minister and the French Ambassador ; and we can state f r om authority, that his Excellency and Mr CANNING were closeted for two hours at Gloucester Lodge yesterday, on this important subject We can also state, that the French Government are exceedingly alarmed lest privateering should be allowed by the British Government, and by the probability that our seamen will volunteer in great numbers into that part of the Spanish service. These measures, we are well assurred, the French Government is most anxious to p r e v e n t ; ancl urgent representations have been made on the subject to the British Cabinet. T h e r e is not one word of truth in the reports respecting the letter said t o have been addressed by the King of SPAIN to the French Government, and countersigned by Sir WILLIAM A'COURT; for we positively know that the British Cabinet lias no such information. in front was strewed with f u r n i t u r e of every description that had been removed from the n e i g h b o u r i n g houses, and the greatest confusion prevailed. A number of fire- engines h a v i n g arrived, and a plentiful supply of water having been obtained, the fire soon abatec. 1. The roof of Mr WEAKLEY'S house fell in with a tremendous crash, carrying with, it t h e e n t i r e front of t h e building, which was precipitated into t h e road. T h e D u r h a m city election commenced on Thursday. Sir HENRY HARDINGE and Mr HEDWORTH LAMBTON were nominated. A show of hands was demanded, which being rather in favour of Sir HENRY, a poll was demanded for Mr LAMBTON. The poll was then proceeded in, and at t h e close t h e numbers were— fo; r Sir H.

LANT DEFENCE We h a v e obtained the following particulars of an action with the pirates, off Matanzas, in which they were gallantly defeated bv the brigs Abeona. Captain Blinn, of this port Bowdoin, Captain Carr, of Warren ( arrived at Newport} ; and Neptune, Captain Barton, of Bristol. These vessels sailed from Matanzas on the 3d inst. in company. Four hours after sailing they were chased ami come up with ( about eight miles from Matanzas) by a piratical schooner, mounting one large gun on a pivot, and supposed to be manned with 70 or 80 men. The pirate hailed the Captains of the brigs, and ordered them to surrender, otherwise no quarter should be given them. The Captains answered that they expected none, and should defend their vessels to the last. The pirate immediately commenced the action by discharging his large gun, and giving three cheers, which was i promptly returned by the brigs; and after an action of one hour and a half, they obliged tbe pirate to haul off, damaged considerably ; judging from the confusion they were in, there must have been a great number o f t h e pirates killed or wounded; they came up » ith 16 sweeps, antl used seven only when thev hauled off". The brigs were so near the pirat- 1- cal schooner, that the Captains saw people oil board whom lhey had traded with at Matanz: n>. The 1 Bowdoin parted company with the other brigs after don- hall, the seat of his Lordship, in Essex,' setting through the passage; the Abeona'was b'iuuil'| to grasp, and was pulled into the boat. As soon as this most melancholy catastrophe are derived from the oral relation of one of the cabin passengers, a respectable tradesman in Liverpool, who was fortunately saved. The account thus drawn up was published in the Liverpool Courier of Wednesday last. It is a mournful detail:— " We sailed from the Pigeon- house, Dublin, at half past eight o'clock on Tuesday evening. There were, as nearly as I can judge, about fifteen passengers, including myself, in the cabin. Among them were three ladies, one of whom had an infant about eleven months old with her. The appearance of the cabin passengers was most respectable. We had a favourable breeze throughout the night, and made the Welsh coast early in the morning. About ten o'clock, however ( as I have since understood), the breeze died away, and the packet was driven, by the force of the current, towards the West Mouse rock. Captain Morgan immediately ordered the boat a- head, in the full confidence that it would succeed in towing the packet, out of danger. But in this he was unhappily disappointed, the unfortunate vessel being driven by the strength of the tide on the fatal rock. " It was about half past ten o'clock when she struck. I was in mv birth in the cabin at the moment. The shock, though not very violent, was sufficient to rouse me. I started up instantly, and found the passengers in the cabin in a state of contusion and alarm. I immediately ran upon deck, and found it in a similar state of confusion. I returned to the cabin, and discovered, with feelings not to be described, that the water had in the meantime made its way into it. The confusion and alaTir. among the passengers below increased with tbe increasing danger. The ladies were screaming with affright; and the gentlemen were alarmed at the imniiuencv of the danger which thteatened them. Iimmediately quitted this scene of horror, and, making my way upon deck, ran up the shrouds. At this moment the water had risen to a considerable height in the feold, and baffled every exertion which was made by the passengers and such of the crew as remained on board to bale it out. I now saw for the first time the boat a- head, a short distance from the extremity of the bowsprit, with several ofthe packet's crew in it. I came down the shrouds, and, making my way towards the bowsprit, endeavoured to get into the boat. I was, however, prevented by some of the persons belonging to the packet around me, who stated, that if I were allowed to get into the boat, there would be a general rush towards it, by which means it would run the risk of being swamped, and thus cut off the only chance of any person being saved. " Determined, however, to renew the attempt at a favourable moment, I remained partially concealed in the fore- part of the vessel. Espying my opportunity when the boat was a yard or two from tbe extremity of the bowsprit, and when I had seen the last seaman get into it, I ran along the bowsprit, but, in attempting to get into Hie boat, I unfortunately fell into the , sea. I was taken up by one of the crew, who pulled ma into the boat, being the first passenger who was received into it. At this moment several other passengers made their way along the bowsprit to endeavour fo get into the boat, some of whom succeeded in gaining it, whilst others fell into the water anil were drowned. The boat still remained at a short distance from the bowsprit ot the vessel, those already on board deeming it unsafe to come too near, fur tear of a rush being marie, b_ v tbe crowd left on board the packet, to get in. The Captain ne- xt made an attempt to reach the boat, by plunging into tbe water from the bowsprit, and swimming towards it. A rope was thrown towards . h'uu by one of his crew, which he was so fortunate as * f r, ,, n » n.. t\ oinl iirnci titlll A/ 1 tnlrt lllA rwinl- A C* CA'Ml no CLARET. 3 to 1 agt. Moses 8 to I agt.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. London, April 4. The declaration of the French Government has, we learn from good authority, been actually received by our Governmant. The language in which it is couched is s\- milar to that used by the King of FRANCE in his speech on the opening of the Chamber of Deputies. Mr CAUNING and the French Ambassador were at the residence of the former engaged in deliberating on this impoitant do.- ument for some hours. The letters by express from Paris of Wednesday even, itig hardly contain a syllable of news beyond what was printed in the public journals of that morning. No fresh1 intelligence had reached the French capital from Bay. or. ne, relative to the affairs of the TRAPPISTE and QUESADA, who were said to have been engaged. As to the former, however, it is now stated that he had not encountered the enemy at all, but had returned from his head quarters in tile neighbourhood of lrun, attended by his servant merely, to make some arrangements for his future operations. As we hinted yesterday this may turn, out to be truth, or we may happen to find, as some persons in Paris maintained, that the TRAPPISTE had not revisited Bayonne, and that the whole account was founded in error and invention. The fluctuation in the Rentes on Wednesday had been very inconsiderable, in consequence of the almost total absence of intelligence to affect the market. The highest price had npt touched 79, and the lowest had not descended below 78, 60. Very little business had been done, andthe sptculators appeared to be waiting for some event to influence their proceedings. More business, tha n usual, had been done in Spanish Bonds of 1821, which were as high as 34| at the close of the day, and had been at 35 at the opening. Not a syllable is said in any of the advices on the subject of the marching of the French army: this question, therefore, remains exactly where it did. Accounts by the ordinary mail were obtained to- day from St Petersburgh; they , ye four clays later than the last advices, viz. to the 15th ult. It appears from them that the Exchange, instead of recovering, as many persons expected, had declined still farther, though not very materially; it was at 9Jd, with indications that the depression might not end there. This intelligence is undoubtedly of a warlike aspect, and the generot tenor of ( he letters is of the same charnc* ter. Since thebegmning of March, Mr BAGOT, the British Envoy at St PetersbUrgh, had received several expresses from this country; which led him to have repeated interviews with members of the Russian Cabinet The Austrian Minister had also been actively employed, but we do not find in these advices any confirmation of the statement from Nuremburg, in one of the German- papers, that the British and Austrian Envoys bad been combining their efforts to persuade the Russian Cabinet to adopt pacific measures towards Spain. On the contrary it was reported in St Petersburgh that ere long a. Russian army would be'marched'into the south of Europe, in consequence of a requisition from France for that purpose. The best understanding appeared to prevail between the French Ambassador atid'the'Russiaa Minister for Foreign. Affairs, and the former had recently riot unfrequently dined at the . table pf the Emperor- This information, it will be observed, is in complete accordance with the news by the last mail. With regard to the affairs of Turkey, it is asserted that the intercourse with that* power had been place* upon the most amicable footing. This favourable change was mainly attributed to the exertions of Lord'STIIAXGFORD. Through the United States intelligence of Fcbruar 6th has be? n obtained from Mexico. It is of some i portance, inasmuch as it distinctly stated that the inhabitants of St I. uiz Je Potosi had raised the standard of rc bellion against ITURBIDE. General GUADALOUPE W ; » considerable force, and had succeeded in making hi-. v. t hi » if m u s r cf < tmAi nS tl,' E upwapV mfikitf ITRRRDE's Treasury was empty, and lie had been under the necessity of issuing hills to a large amount, which were payable in 1823, but at a most enormous discount- It is not menttaifd that anv enf » agem » at had occurred between the contending panics, but it seemed probable lhat much blood would be shed before tbe affairs of Mexico were at all settled upon a permanent basis.

SIR,— For some time I have observed wnrkme employed in cutting a deep terrace out of the western declivity o1' the F. arthcn Mo'ind. This operation I presume is meant to prepare it for the reception of c.- rtain buildings to be erected according to a plan recently approved of. X feel disappointed to find that it is intended to carry the< e plans into effect, for to me they seem far from being so convenient, ornamental, practicable, or profitable, as some of tbe otheis that have been submitted to the judgment and taste of the public. The first defect of these plans is their inconvenience.— The principal buildings are to commence Rusitress was very slack during nearly the whole day,) a t a short distance from Prince's Street, and runand there was but little fluctuation in the prices.

These are disadvantages that ought not . . .. , , .,, .,. , , to be tolerated for slight reasons, and that it is carried nut by his friends, covered with nd- cule and . aw, , e l o ^ ^ ha3 ^ d fa ^ dust, which wete plentifully showered upon htm. | j , i a n. The foreign market was bustling, and experienced | wi t h regard to the merits of the designs as obmore fluctuation than might have been expected. Spanish je c t s (, f t a s l e i j s), a|[ s a y little, for I acknowledge Bonds of 1821 opened at 30J, j, fell to 2! lj. rose again to 29j, on the arrival of the expresses from Paris, and afterwards to 30. To the close of business they main my ignorance of the principles on which architect!! ral beauty depends. I may however remark, that in my eyes, the first designs of the same artist were tained this quotation, or were at least only a shade below i far superior to the productions that have been ap. it. Some very large purchases were made bv speculators ] proved of. The former presented a fine stretch nf - - colonnade, having no object near to mar its effect. The latter, as it exhibits this colonnade in connexion with a public edifice, wants much of the elegance and simplicity of its original. If this edifice had been placed at the upper part of the ground, it would n t probably have proved so obvious a defect, for as it is to be the higliest of the projected buildings, so it would have harmonized better wilh the lofty fabrics of the ancient town, than with the low range of sunken columns, with which alone it is to be seen ill contrast. It may be noticed also, that the carriage road, as it leaves Prince's Street, is to be confined between two masses of solid niacin of the market.

Yesterday morning the Lord Provost rereived a letter f r om the Secretary of State, g r a n t i n g a respite, during . his Majesty's pleasure, to the young man John Wright, under sentence of death for housebreaking. of any kind. Its materials have been too recently deposited to have attained sufficient stability, and even where oldest, they are still subsiding, slowly no doubt, hut with a progress which there is nothing to counteract. I have been told it was lately discovered from measurement, that the wall along the foot pavement has receded in some parts several feet from its original position ; and mere inspection will show that it has been considerably displaced and distorted. The screen too in front of the Bank of Scotland is an example of the effect of trusting to a foundation so insecure. Unless therefore some means be adopted to prevent its subsitling, it would be vain to erect any buildings on the Mound. What these means should be, it is for artists and engineers to devise; but the most obvious is, the erection of two massive retaining walls, rising from a solid foundation at the bottom of the former loch, and embracing and securing the whole materials within. The expence of such walls would be considerable, but it would be more than repaid bv the increased value which they nould bestow on the ground secured bv them. My last remark is, that the plans at present fixed on will prove unprofitable. The buildings they comprehend are to be chiefly situate oil the central part of the Mound, for it is not meant to extend them to Prince's Street, nor to stretch towards tbe Old Town any building but a light range of beoths. Thus a part only of the ground, antl that the least secure, is lo be employed. The disadvantages too attending the houses to be erected are too great to render them objects ot profitable speculation The inseouritv of their foundations, their sunk and gloomy situation, their want of immediate access from the street, the circuitous and awkward mode of entry, must all effectually deter builders from vesting their capitals in so hazardous a concern. On make for wages, and though I should not wish to deprive an obliging or honest servant of a just compensation for his services, yet when stable boys cannot be obtained under 20 guineas, antl butlers under forty, and in many instances fifty, although such wages may be afforded by the wealthy individuals of Edinburgh and Glasgow, they are very incompatible with the rental revenue of country gentlemen at the present time. I t might be very beneficial to both master and servant were a few of the country gentlemen, at present in Edinburgh, to meet in their club rooms, and to determine and publish what rate ot wages ought, under present circumstances, to he demanded by the servants in their various capacities. Farmers have their servants at a reasonable wage, and what reason can there be that house servants, who are not half so much worked, and far better fed, should have so disproportionate liavment I am & c.

Barley sold at about 34s. for general runs, though one sample, we heard, reached 38s., but this a very prime thing. Oats vary from 19s. to 24s., and even 28s., for seed, and are getting scarce ( all per quarter.) BRISTOL, March 29— The corn trade here at present cannot be considered brisk, speaking generally. Oats, of good quality, antl prime barley, for malting, sell pretty well.

A Government Gazette of Chili, published at 10 1 Santiago on the 27th of November, contains an account ot this dreadful calamity. A dispatch of the Supreme Director, who happened to be at Valparaiso at the time of the earthquake, is dated at ten at night on the 20th of November, and is addressed to the Ministers, of whom he asks a report respecting the state ot the capital. He savs, that on the preceding night, at 15 minutes before II o'clock, Valparaiso had received so severe a shock, that in two or three minutes all the buildings were either considerably damaged or thrown fell more than 12 feet; the movement of the earth, although weak, did not cease for an instant till hall- past four in the ' norninj, since when shocks more or less strong ivere felt every five or seven minutes. The inhabitants had retired, to the heights, where they had encamped on the 20th. Fifteen or twenty individuals, being mostly soldiers.

No public officer nor person of note had perished. 1' he reply ofthe Ministers is dated Santiago, 22d November. After congratulating the Supreme Director oil his personal safety, the report proceeds to state, that the capital had not experiet oed the same terrible catastrophe which had ruined Valparaiso. On the 19th November, at ten minutes before eleven o'clock at night, after havini- for three or four houts previously observed a low heat and an extreme rarefaction of the air, a horrible noise announced, and by a few seconds preceded, an earth, quake sueh as had not been experienced in Chil since 1730; its explosion showed itself by two strong shocks, which lasted two minute6 and a half or three minutes; the latter, stronger than the first, was only of about twenty seconds. It was al first thought that the whole city was destroyed; the con sfernation was general, but fortunately nn lives were lost, and onlv a few persons were hurt hv falling fragments or tiles. The action of the earthquake was of the trembling description, and its direction from N. E. to S. W. Some walls of tbe churches of La Merced, San Augu- tin, San Francisco, & c have fallen d > wn; the Mint, the interior of the Cathedral, the D r e t o r i a l Palace, the steeples ofthe Treasury, and of the prison, are also damaged, and in some places threaten to come down. The walls of houses which were not very good ate much damaged. The eaith was almost ct nstantly in motion, though slight and only perceptible by the pendulum; but at times there were smart and sharp shocks. On the 20th, at 3h. 8tn. in the mornin?, there was a slight shock, without any sensible noise ; at 3h. 42m a meteor ran in the same direction as the earthquake, from N. E. to S. W., in the form of a large train of fire, which for about four seconds produced a sort of strong twilight. It is reported, that various other small meteors were seen towards tbe Cordillera. At 5h. 24m. another slight shock, preceded by i THEY a l ' P e a r ASLEEPconsiderable noise. Shocks succeeded each other ra-! c ™ ing trom the co MORNING VISITING DRESS Pelisse robe of mignionnette- leaf green, of Gros de Naples, trimmed down ; ach side in front, and round theborler, with puffings of the same, confined by straps of satin ; the bust orna il en ted by satin Rrandenburgs, each terminated by a silk tassel. Frill a la Hcnriette, of Urling's lace. Small equestrian hat of fine beaver or satin, of a lavender gray, placed very backward, and crowned with a plume of • urled feathers of the same colour. Sautoir of pale pink. Green satin half boots, and Limerick gloves. EVENING DRESS — W h i t e dress of Cyprus crape, net. or gossamer satin, trimmed in a very novel and beautiful manner, with satin ornaments edged with broad blond, and divided by white full blown roses with their foliage A rich rouleau of the same material as the dress finishes it next the hem. Sleeves very short, consisting if three falls of net, edged with blond and white satin. The hair arranged in the newest French style, with a gold comb at the back of the head ; the large curls in front, and the bow' at the summit, interspersed with satin ribbons and full blown white roses. Necklace of pearls wrought in Vandyke points. White satin shoes, , nd white kid gloves, tucked below the elbow. When this dress is of crape or net, the rouleau next the hem should be satin. MONTHLY CALENDAR OF FASHION The long winter, and the continuance of severe weatherat the commencement of March, made us fear our modish almanack would offer but little variety in those fashions which are appropriate to the different temperature of the four seasons; however, a full metropolis and some cheering days enable us to point out a few unexpected novelties. Cloth pelisses are still worn, but they are confined to the promenade; in carriages, pelisses of silk, or a very rich shawl over a high dress, mark the woman of rank and fashion. A few Caledonian caps have appeared in Hyde Park, but bonnets of gros de Xaplcs, or of slight satin, are more prevalent; yellow satin bonnets are much worne; and feathers in hats and bonnets prevail more than flowers. The bonnets are in the village shape, and extremely becoming. The new hats, very much bent over the forehead. are between the Pamela and the Mary Queen of Scots* shape. Dresses of Cyprus crape prevail for evening parties ; they are finished by French tucks of^ ras de. Naples ; on some there is a border consisting of a full puckering of gauze. The body is the same as the border, > » ith straps of satin lengthwise. Dresses partially high, of poplin or gros de Naples, prevail much for indoor costume; a lace frill, a fine lace cornette, and a gold convent cross, finish this simple and elegant attire. Cyprus and gossamer gauze over wiiite satin are much worn as ball dresses, trimmed in various ways ; lace, blond, flowers, and satin ribbon of bright colour, form tile chief materials ; these are disposed in many different windings, waves, and festoons; and there is a new tunic way of trimming petticoats, which is extremely elegant; our fair readers may imagine three rows of puckerinas or puffings round the border of a dress; one row of this trimming is carried from the waist t il it meets that on the border, down each side nearly in front of the skirt, which gives the appearance of a pelisse robe or tunic flying open. The head- diessts are low, with the hair arranged a la Sevitsne. Turbans in the Grecian style are preferred though the A ssyrian turban has partially made its appearance ; we do not admire its pointed crown, and we think it looks better on the head of Nebuchadnezzar, as represented in old paintings, than decorating the gentle countenances of our admired countrywomen. The Grecian turban is generally formed of a gauze of a rich pattern or figured silk ; it is confined by bands of bugles, with one full feather depending on the left side. Veils, both black and white, are much worn in carriage airings, either over an undress turban, a cornette, or a village bonnet; the cornettes are of fine lace, intermingled with much ribbon, which constitutes the chief ornament. The favourite colours for ribbons, bonnets, and turbans, are jonquil, cerulean blue, and spring green. Egyptian plaid ribbons are also much admired, as are sautoirs, bearing the same are- classical denomination. The Farmer's Magazine for February contains the following letter on this subject:— Ofthe central territories of North America, situated to the west ofthe Allegany Mountains, tbe Scottish public, till within the last few years, possessed little information. But the fascinating description contained in the able and lively publication of Mr Birkbeck, soon directed the public curiosity to the contemplation of these fine countries. The regions forming what, in our vernacular idiom, we may term the Stnth of Ohio, are by far the most beautiful, fertile, and salubrious in the extensive territories of the United States. Without any great ranges of mountains, the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, are finely diversified with hill and dale and open plains, called prairies, producing a vast variety of the most beautiful and majestic trees, and splendid and fragrant shrubs, and timber fit for all the purposes of the architect, the shipbuilder, and the cabinetmaker Indian corn, and all tne grains and field crops of Europe, and all the fruits of temperate climates, including the Madeira grape, are raised in the open fields with little culture. The mulberry tree is likewise introduced, and silk and wine are already articles of commerce. Melons, cucumbers, and various other useful and delegate vegetables, are raised in abundance. Game, especially deer, roe, wild turkies, woodcocks, pheasants, & c. and a great variety of excellent fish, abound, and maybe taken without restriction. Lime and freestone, coal and iron, are also found in many situations, in inexhaustible quantities. Salt is obtained from the water of deep wells, and sold for 3s. fid. the 501b. weight. The climate is as agreeable as the country is beautiful and fertile. Though situated farther south, the summer heat is never so great as in Canada, and the cold of winter is never so rigorous, nor of such long continuance. And though in Ohio the maximum of cold and heat is con Early on T h u r s d a y morning, t h e 2 0 t h ult., Mr WILLIAM M'GREGOR, on his way home from Glasgow, was attacked, by a banditti of ruffians, between Camlachie and Parkhead, who were lying in ambush at the side of a damaged stone dike. The atmosphere was CARSFC OP GOWRIE. In the Car'se of Gowrie, ploughs were at work by the 3d; and the snow on the higher grounds began to dissolve. The temperature, however, continued low ; and a fall of snow from the east, about four inches in depth, gave another short obstruction to the operations of the plough. At such an advanced siderably more than in Scotland, the climate is perfectly suitable to a Scotsman's constitution. In the close vici- M. CADET VAUX, considering that fires in dwelling- houses begin, in very numerous instances, in the chimney, and that means cannot always be applied in time to extinguish the fire at first commencement, turned his thoughts to the discovery of some method for effecting this purpose. He reflected that combustion cannot be carried on without the presence of vital air, and consequently if t h e air in a chimney on fire could be rendered mephitic, the " fire must go out. This object he obtained by the simple means of throwing flour of sulphur on the fire in the grate, the mephitic exhalation of which extinguished the fire, as it would suffocate any living creature. A Roman nobleman has not only repeated this experiment with entire success, but, being desirous of ascertaining whether an ignited body suspended in the chimney would be extinguished in t h e same manner, he caused a faggot to be suspended in a chimney, nearly at t b e summit, and set on fire; though by its situation it was nearly in contact with the external air, t b e flames were instantaneously extinguished by throwing a handful of flour of sulphur on t h e coals below.— I t a l i a n Journal.

The clearing and settling of the country has greatly diminished, and will rapidly continue to diminish, the number and ferocity of the wild animals, which are now neither very numerous nor formidable. The great river Ohio, connected as it is with the Mississippi, Illinois, Wabash, Miami, Scioto, and all the other great rivers between the Allegany and the Rocky Mountains, and connected, as it is about to be by canals, with the Canadian lakes and the navigable rivers falling into the Atlantic, in the Eastern States, affords to this territory the convenience of inland navigation, and facilities for conducting an extensive commerce, beyond any thing which any other region of the globe can supply. Of this inestimable advantage, the enterprising inhabi. tants have availed themselves. Those inlmd waters, on which, thirty or forty years ago, nothing was to be seen but a floating free, or the miserable canoe of a savage hunter, are now loaded with steam- boats, many of them of several hundred tons burden, and sailing vessels, constructed in the country, for the navigation of the seas of other regions. Presenting such innumerable lo? al advantages, such fertility of soil, and such a mildness of climate, it is not wonderful, that a free, intelligent, and enterprising people should speedily form numerous settlements in a region so delightful; but the progress of population and improvement in Ohio has been rapid beyond all example. Little more than thirty years ago, the only inhabitants of this country were a few wanderi- g tribes of Indian saeages. From tliem the Federal Government purchased the territory, and the hunters have now entirely left it. Cities and towns, containing elegant public buildings, such as court- houses, churches, academies, have risen, as if by magic, and the desert has been made to blossom like a rose. In 1800, the population was only 45,000 inhabi tants. In 1810 it amounted to 230,760 : in 1820 to 581,434; and now it does not fall short of 800,000. This rapid progress affords the most convincing and incon testable proof of the natural superiority and capabilities of the country. Though Canada has been settled for more than a century, its population does not yet exceed that of Ohio. In Ohio, good roads have been formed in many directions, and 220 post- offices are already established. The constitution of the state is liberal, and af. fords all the blessings of rational freedom. The law is administered in simple and untaxed proceedings, by judges chosen by the people. Newspapers are also untaxed ; and accordingly, about 48,000 weekly, issuing from between forty and fifty presses, diffuse every species of intelligence among the people at a very cheap rate. In Ohio, th re is a newspaper circulated for about every eighteen persons. In Scotland, theie is not a paper for every forty. The great number of these vehicles of instiuction in Ohro proves the extensive intelligence and respectability of the great mass of the people; and, as mi'dit be expected, a more orderly, in lustrious, and religious population is nowhere to be found. The prevailing religious sects are Presbyterians and Methodists. Church patronage, tithes, and poor's rates are of course unknown. Ample provision for the promotion of education is made by setting apart a portion of the public lands for the support of schools. The means of instruction are accordingly accessible to all. At the town of Athens, an university has been established. Its revenue already amounts to £! 0ft » per annum, and it is supplied by able professor* of the languages and sciences. This state has also made some progress in manufactures; and it is thought, that, from the abundance and cheapness of a great variety of valuable raw materials, theplen. ty of coal, the number of eligible mi'l- sites. and other facilities for manufacturing operations which the country affords. it may, at no very distant period, supply the neighbouring states and other countries. Gotten and woollen manufactories, foundries, glass- works, breweries, and distilleries, are established, and in active operation. All sorts of farming implements are ma le at Marietta and other towns, as good and as cheap as in Scotland. The farmer can always obtain a ready arid sure market for every species of pro luce at his own door, for which he is immediately paid in hard dollars. It is not necessary for him fnllii to clear his ' and to obtain a crop. From land pat liuily cleared, at an expence of 30s. per acre, he can have, the second year, a retnrn of forty bushels of wheat per acre ; and the labour of one man is sufficient, in the partial manner alluded to. to clear twenty- five acres year. The produce of land/ a//// cfc red, is, of course, overcast at the time, and a dense body oft period of the season, a moment was not to be lost; clouds concealed the light of the moon from ~~ " " view. The robbers, darting f r om their hiding place, came u p behind him, knocked him down, and began immediately to rifle his pockets, and succeeded in robbing him of £ 2 , 3s. 6( 1. and a parcel of valuable papers. On the night of Montlay last, between ten and eleven o'clock, as t w o young men were returning from Carron- shore, where they had been settling some business, they were attacked upon the road between the village of Bainsford and Carron Works, by several persons in a state of intoxication. One of the men, and who resides in Falkirk, immediately ran off, and although pursued by some of the villains, got safe home, but his comrade, who belongs to Bainsford, t. nd who has a wife and children there, was treated in such a savage manner that his recovery is despaired of. The weapon of cruelty which t h e wretches made use of appears to have been a large stick, ^ everal pieces of which had been taken from the wounds in the sufferer's head. When found, he was in a state of insensibility, lying on the road, with his face and head shockingly mangled. It is believed the assailants intended their revenge for some other person, and that the unfortunate sufferer fell into their hands and received their brutal usage by mistake.— Three persons suspected to have been concerned in this daring outrage arrived in Stirling on Wednesday night, under an escort of dragoons, and were lodged in jail. On the evening of the 21st ult. Messrs. J O H N TURNBULL, ALEXANDER R o s s , a nd and, on the afternoon of the 10th, ploughs were again at wort. On the 19th, a hard frost, rendered ploughing impossible for that day. This was followed by a heavy rain on the 21st; since which time, the weather lias been mild and favourable to the operations of seed time. Sowing of beans commenced about the middle of the month, and sowing of oats has just begun; but on back- lying lands a considerable breadth of oatseed furrow remains to be turned over, and every exertion is used to forward the labours of spring in due season. Where the snow lay deep, on fields ef young wheat, the plants have in many instances beeti completely destroyed, particularly on light soils. Turnips have suffered little, and of this root the fields are now nearly clear. Vegetation is at least three weeks laler than in the two past seasons. The ground is however in excellent condition for receiving the seed. The appearance of blossom on f r u i t - trejs is more abundant than could have been anticipated after such a full crop. Carse of Gowrie, March 31. 1823. FORFARSHIRE. The oat seed is now well begun; indeed, it may be said to be general, except in the higher parts of the county, where winter still in a manner prevails. Where the ground is in good condition, the wheat braird shows a most beautiful and healthy green In some parts, even wher « the earth iriav not be said to be wet, it is too raw and sour for receiving seed. Turnips still keep well, and being sound and wholesome, have supplied in a manner the scarcity of fodder.— March 29. CLACKMANNANSHIRE. We have rather inconstant weather from the beginning ot this month till the 18th, which, however, was not such as to prevent the ploughing from getting rapidly forward ; yet the land till this time was I not in a very dry state for the sowing of beans, and even so late as the morning of the 20th, we had a HENRY MACQUEEN, officers of Excise, pro- considerable full of snow, which was preceded hv two ceeded with a party ts a moss adjoin- ' ^ " f intense frost.

On Saturday, Mr SMITH, Excise- officer, Cupar Angus, having been apprised of a concealment of one hundred ankers of whisky on Cairn- o'- Mount, set out with a party of the Scots Greys t o levy war upon them for the KING'S use. On arriving at t h e place, they found their intended prize guarded by forty armed Highlandmen, who showed no disposition to surrender the whole of their charge, though they offered the invading party a free- will offering of 40 ankers. The offer was rejected, and the dragoons were ordered f o r w a r d ; but, from the depth of the snow, there was only one pass which could be entered, and it was so narrow as only to admit of a single horseman advancing at a time. He who led the van in the attack was speedily dismounted by one of the braemen ; and the KINO'S servants, thus convinced of the impossibility of making a seizure, now offered to accept the forty ankers. The smugglers, aware of their advantage, refused to comply, but made them a compliment of nine ankers, with which they departed. A Highlander entered a haberdasher's shop in Perth the other day, and asked for a piece of scarlet cloth to make him a waistcoat.— The rustic manners of the Gael set some young women who were at t h e counter a gigg l i n g ; and the shopman, willing to afford them sport, began to play off his small wit upon t h e stranger. '' So, goodman, ye want a piece of scarlet ? Would you know scarlet if you saw i t ? " I tink I wood," replied the mountaineer. The shopman threw down a piece of blue cloth : " Is t h a t scarlet ?" " Hout and vigorous; still, however, on soils less calculated for wheat in the higher parts of the country, we have observed several fields very thin, and the plants still unhealthy and backward, especially where the snow had been deep. Indeed in many hollow shelteied places it has but lately disappeared. The young grasses appear thill; but from the lateness ofthe spring, and from their not havirigvet sufficiently recovered the effects of the storm, ' we can say little of this crop, which depends so much upon the succeeding weather. Grass parks for pasture seem to be in demand, and at higher rents than last year. Both lean and fat cattle are eagerly sought after, and at improving prices, probably 15 to 20 per cent, higher than last season. All sorts of grain during this month have been selling at improved prices, and on the whole, the prospect of the agriculturist is now wearing a more cheering aspect. March 31. 1823.

ISLE OF MAN, March 20.— A court of gaol delivery was holden at Castle Rushen, on Tuesday the ,18th instant, before his Grace t h e Duke of ATHOL, for the trial of John Camish and Catherine Kinread, for wilful murder, by administering poison to t h e wife of John Camish. This atrocious case arose out of a criminal connexion betwixt the two prisoners, who concerted t h e dreadful scheme of destroying the wife by means of poison. I t was proved, in the clearest manner, that the husband had purchased arsenic, and that t h e female prisoner administered it to t h e deceased, mixed up in a basin of milk. The body had been interred for some d a y s ; but, in consequence of strong suspicion falling upon the prisoners, it was taken up, and after being opened, a large quantity of arsenic was found in the contents of tile stomach. The trial lasted the whole of tbe day, and was conducted, with great attention, by distress), is on shore at the Point of Sandy Hook, bilged JAMES CLAUKE, Esq. the Attorney- General and full of water." j of the island.

This was accordingly done, and the snatchers having refreshed, drove off with the cart, but they had not proceeded a hundred yards before they found the supposed dead man tumble about, and stopped to remedy the inconvenience. On taking hold of him, one of the fellows observed, " Ise be cursed if this here subject is'nt warm"— the other having felt him, said, " Dam un, but he's hot;"—" And so would you. too," said the soldier, if you had come from h— II, where I have been." This was enough ; the snatchers were petrified, and almost terrifi- d to death; hut as soon as they recovered they set oft, leaving the cart and horse in possession of the soldier and ostler, aeialier of which have since been owned. The body of the dead man was in two days after restored to his friends, by whom it was missed from the grave. BEER DUTIES. The following are the Chancellor of the Exchequer's r e s o l u t i o n s :— 1. That there shall be levied and paid an excise duty of 5s. for every barrel, containing thirty- six gallons ale measure, of beer or ale which shall be brewed in Great Britain for sale, and which shall be brewed in the proportion of not less than five barrels, containing thirty- six gallons each, of such beer or ale, nor more than five and a half of such barrels, for and from each and every quarter of malt which shall be used for the brewing thereof, and which shall be soltl in any quantity at one time of nine gallons or upwards, at a rate or price not exceeding 27s. the barrel, or which shall be sold in any quantity at one time of less than nine gallons thereof, at a rate or price not exceeding 10d. the gallon. 2. That every brewer of such beer or ale shall take out an excise license, authorising such persons to brew such beer or ale, and shall pay duty for every such license at and after the same rate as is bv law imposed on excise licenses to common brewers of strong beer. 3. That every seller and retailer of such beer or ale, at any place detached from the entered premises where the same is brewed, and not being sold for consumption on the premises or place where sold, shall take out an excise license, and shall pay for ttig same the sum of'£ l, Is. may be purchased for less than in Scotland. Sugar of good quality is made by every farmer for his own consumption and for sale, from the juice of the maple tree. The eligibility of this beautiful country, as an advantageous theatre of agricultural industry, has, I believe, been for some time pretty well krown ; but it was generally supposed, that the expence of transport was a foN miilableobstacletorem-. ' al, to a country so far inland. This obstacle is now happily removed. Mr Nahum Ward of Marietta, having considerable tracts of superior land to dispose of. in the eastern quarters of the State, came lately to Scotland for the purpose of arranging a plan of emigration, on a great scale. From tile number who have already contracted with this gentleman, the expence of re repeated, and received a similar answer,— to the great amusement of the querist and his female friends, who were at no pains to conceal their mirth. The Highlander took revenge in his own way : He put his nose to t h e cloth, and affected to j u d g e of the colour by the smell. The shopman, at his request, did the same; but the instant he bent his nose towards the counter, the Highlander seized him by t h e ears, and made his nasal moval will be as follows : For crossing the Atlantic, from protuberance Come ill such violent contact Greenock to Baltimore, about £ 5 for all above 18 years . , , , , , , , » of age ; from 12 to 18, £ 4- each ; and all under 12, £ 3 , W l t h t h ® b° a r ( !?>, that the blood sprung f r om each.

As Mr Ward expects to bring out about 1000 persons this season, perhaps the expence may even be less than the above. In his articles of agreement lie distinctly describes the lot sold; and binds himself to repay the sum advanced, should the description prove inaccurate. T a t , " said the Highlander, " is t s colour o' scarlet tae ye noo, lad;"— and he walked away. i Thursday night, the 27ih ult. the spinn i n g mill at Gichty Burn, belonging to Messrs. WILLIAMSON, was burnt down, and These, certainly, are very fair terms.

On first hearing of Mr Ward's proposals, I felt same diffidence as to the safety of dealing with him, and I was therefore at pains to ascertain how far he could be depended on. The result is, that I am fully and completely satisfied that he is an honourable man, whose obligations will be fairly fulfilled. His character and responsibility are avouched, in terms of high commendation, by persons of the first consideration in the United States ; and the American Consul for Scotland offers his own personal guarantee, of any contract in which he may engage with emigrants. Better assurance of safety cannot reasonably be required. It is very probable, that large emigrations from Scotland to Ohio will take place annually, for many years to come. S C O T T I S H I N T E L L I G E N C E. Last week the prelections in St Mary's College, St Andrew's, were finished. The attendance of the students in divinity this season has been p r e t t y numerous, as well as for some sessions previous. The annual prize arising from Dr GRAY'S mortification was a d j u d g e d to Mr DOUGLAS and an anonymous writer. YEOMANRY CAVALRY.— It was mentioned some time ago, in several English newspapers, t h a t it was t h e intpntion of Ministers to extend the time for d r i l l i ng and training yeomanry cavalry t o 28 days in t h e year. We understand that no order to that effect has been received by any of t h e commanding officers of t h e yeomanry cavalry regiments in Scotlaud, and we have every reason to believe that no such measure has ever been contemplated by Government. A few days ago, at Bishops Mill, near Elgin, as four girls and a boy were taking some sand from under a bank, it fell in upon them, and entirely covered them up. A woman, who was not far distant, seeing t h e occurrence, alarmed the village, and a number ot men, with spatles, were soon on t h e spot, who succeeded in speedily extricating them all, except one o f t h e girls, who continued so long under the pressure of t h e sand, t h a t her recovery is very doubtful.

In the centre of the county sowing did not commence till the 25th; but, in the lower grounds, some wheat and beans were put into the ground about a week earlier, and oat seed was general by the 26th, except in our high lands, where sowing will not commence before the end of the month. Where the land was clear of snow, in a number ot instances, spring wheat has been sown, but this process has not been so general as it otherwise would have been. Winter wheat, upon the whole, has a fair appearance, but is about a month later than for several years past. It is only within the last week that any vegetation appeared on the new grass, and the common pastures still bear the hue of winter We have not heard ef any want of fodder, except of hav for the flocks on a few farms; but we observe fewer stacks than usual in the barn. yard. s In all cases where there was plenty of hay for the store sheep, they are in fair condition ; and there has been hitherto comparatively very little loss, and it is hoped the lambing season, which is commenced, will continue favourable. March 29. At Kinross market last week, the show of horses was rather poor.
