AUGUST 5 — Wp are NNT ignorant that England wishes to estaSlish a difference between British subie& s, detained in cnnseqnence of our reprizals, and the military men » hnra the fate of WAR has thrown into the enemy's hands; w? must, • herefore, freely discuss this question. The Eng- lish Government seizes, in the midst of peacp, a merchart'S vessel— confiscates the oroperty placed under the guarantee of public right— rakes, with out any DININFLION, the crew and passengers as I prisoners. Upon this intelligence, at which , rhe whole of France is with justice indignant, its Go- vernment, full of sentiments of national hon nr, ! orders the arrest of the Eng'HH, who at ' hat time : s ijourn in the e- npire. Inasmuch as the provoca- ion is odious, the REPRISAL I- S just and moderate. No person can drny this truTfi. The time is past in which Princes, who piqued themselves upon a false generosity— who mistook their weakness or indifference for equi'v and mo- deration, allowed England to do any thing with- out daring to attack her with her own weapons. If FA nee ha 1 imitated this conduft, its Govern- ment would have been deficient in one of its FI'tt duties— that of defending and protecting subjpfb attacked in their persons, property, and libertv. In not stopping the English ft would have embold- ened their Government by a dangerous impunity. It would hai » - deprived itself voluntarily of the means of exchange, and cons quently abandoned Fienehmen, surprized by English perfidy, to the despair of a detention, which would have had no other term than that of the war between the two na ions. Now, if England • » ill not allow that her children withheld in France, in consequence of a juss retaliation, are legitimate prisoners, what will she call those whom she has taken from us bv sur- prize and violence in full peace? Let her give up the ships, the crews, all the French whom she has unworthily arrested in violating the faith of trea- net, arrd then it will be just to open the gates to the English who are in our hands, by the reaaion even of her perfidy. Let us observe, in passing, that beside the pri. soners who are in this situation, many others taken in arms have also broken their parole; but let us for a moment forget the attempt which has ex- ceed gtneral indignation- Jet Us even suppose the DETENTION of the English to be illegal, and see if Lord Castlereatrh has a right to complain of the evasion of the French. Lord Yarmouth, and his worthy imitators, ob- tained their libertv under the guarantee of thi'ir parole. IN violating that guarantee, they have offended the delicate sentiment of honour. Lord Yarmouth WAS the FIRST to set an Example, so much the more fatal as its author is of the most elevated rank. The unfortunate Frenchmen arrested in eon tempt of the right of nations, despoiled of every thing iN London, would have been very excusable M flying from misfortune and vexations, but they ' rather chose to suffer than debase themselves ; and an English Lord, enjoying among us ill the conveniences of life, violates his word with im- punity He drags, hy the authority which his name gives to his fault, a croud of his country, men into the same indignity; and is the Govern- ment who has tolerated— even encouraged his subversion ot all principles, to dare complain of us? Lord Castlereagh contrasts the Officers of the old regime with those of the new, and eulogizes the former at the expence of the laner. Without doubt he does not comprehend, in this hypocritical interest the French whom his Government sent to perish on Quiberon rock ;, and all those re- nowned seamen of which its fearful jealousv caused the loss to the last man. BIT without detaining ourselves any longer with afflicting re- criminations, we are content to take up the gaunt- let which the Noble Lord has thrown down. In every time Frenchmen have held honour dearer than lite. The incontestible facts we have ad- duced, prove that we have not degenerited, and that our Officers were for a considerable risne provoked by example, before they followed it.— But here is the difference bstween the past and the present. It was a moment of giddiness in which Anglo- mania had invaded all France. At that epoch, our military men would, as a.- pre- sent, have shed their blood for their country and their Prince; but led away by a dangerous en- thusiasm, kept carefully up by men who knew how to profit by it, they had not at heart that love for the country, the legitimate pride, that just hatred for our enemies, which now form the character of the nation : then scarcely any person — neither the Monarch, the Court, nor the people — had an idea of the force of France, nor foresaw the grandeur of her destinies. Now Frenchmen are thoroughly worthy of that name— they are proud of it; and we no longer find among us giddy young men to praise, in frivolous societies, the tactics, courage, and success of our enemies. In the same discussion, the same Minister, for- getting all the reproaches merited by his country- men, upon the subject even of his complaints, dared to threaten the French prisoners with a more severe condition. What are the fresh bar- barities which the Nob'e Lord promises us ? According to an authentic convention, signed at Baylen, it was decreed, that 12,000 French should evacuate Spain, preserving their arms, on condition of not serving till exchanged. Scarcely had they arrived at Cadiz, when it was notified to « hem in the name of England, that the capitu- lation would not be carried into execution, and that they were prisoners of war. Not a soldier— not an English General, had appeared upon the field of battle. We had not treated with them. Under no pretext whatever could the English Government interfere to prevent the execution of a capitulation signed between the two Belligerent parties. Afer such A violation of 1- TWS observed in war by civilized nations, all the French had a- right * 6 ESCAPE from the hand's of their enemies, as they have done, after A detention ot more than a year. Gener ils EXC- LMMS and Lagrange were demand- ed BY the English Consul, and sent prisoners to London : hu' 12,001 men pould mt have thh hap. piness ; and b* sid » s, the cruelty of the English Agents had provided every thing to enchain their victims. A Captain. General, of a severe arkijust charac- ter, hliged all Andilusi. I to oh y his Vrders, and respeft the prisoners. The English, vrhom he ; would not receive at Ca lir, had him CHANGED'; a i Minister, worrhv of them, and at their D'reSioti, } SUCCEEDED the CAP'am- G'nertl. From that TILL;,"* j ' he lives of the otisoners were incessantly exposed; S Scenes of horror passed in all rlieir cantonments. but THS* French armr having quick, ly resyrneJ the HFFE sive,' fear SE'ZEIT NOON the Iirrti and the English agent, and thev- threw the prisoners into FL IATIN^ prisons— an invent- on worthy ' he huma, ni'v of UE enemies. At th; s. epoch,, Lientenarr- Colopel Vittier, of the marines of TH » imperial guard, and other Officers of the marine, succeed- ed in escaping from the peison- ship, the Forttioe, and landed in Africa. We recolleft with what barbarity the enemv fired upon those unhappy- fugitives, who onlv used, a sacred right, an(] nf whom several perished in the wives. Here MAY be seen the extremities to which the Ertglish Ge. nerals reduced brave soldiers, who were not their, prisoners. We will shew our readers all the sufferings of our unfortunate countrymen in their frightful pri. sons. Water was EVEN reRu= ed th » m, and many died of hunger and thirst, within sight of an Eng- lish squadron, provided with every thing, and which commanded the port. Tho enemy OME to a resolution to send a great part of our prison- ers to the Bahama islands, escorted by the Eng- L sh ships of the line Bombay and Nord, and Am buscade friga'e. The Spaniards were not then to blame for the bad treatment; the English Cap- tains were btill more barbarous, if that was pos- sible. Always at the bottom of the hold, without suffering a single hatch to be open, the prisoners wanted every thing which could have softened their fite. An American Captain, the Com- mander of the ship Silly, alone shewed himself full of humanity, and worthy of that generous na. tion, which now, with such a noble audacity, at- tacks a Government always ready to proudly boast of its civilizuion, whilst it imitates the bad faith IFF barbarous nations. Let us add, to terminate this distressing pi lure, that after having embark- ed the French under pretence- of an exchange, for which an English friga'e brought a COUNTERED r, th Y landed them on the almost dssert island of Cabrera. Such is the trsatmen' to which England sub- jects, or allows to experience, those whom she ion- siders as her prisoners. Lord CA- tlereagh having dared to raise your voice, restore to France the 12 000 men from Baylen, punish the ^ trocious agents who have forever dishonoured rhe English name at Cadiz, Palma, Cabrera, and who have established among our brave soldiers the reputa- tion of cannibals. You, perhaps, will answer, that these excesses are exceptions; that you hive no knowledge of them. You know the French were not your pri. soners, and you detained them in violation of A capitulation in which you were not a contrafling party. You knew that the French were protected in Aodalusia by a brave and generous man ; and it was at the moment when you had a man in that counrry devoted to you, that the massacres com- menced. Your agents are charged with them, or rather you gave directions to heap up the French, over whom you had no right, in prisons, where hef h- ive suffered all kinds of tortures. You htve bad them transportel to deserts, instead of restor- ing them to their country. The HI o id of those who have perished, theories of grief and despair which each of them raided to- wards Heaven, will fall upon the executors of your cruel measures. What can be the cause of such barbari v ? Ask all the nati ms of the Contine , T, Tartars, Rus- iiins, Swedes, Austrians, English, Spaniards, all will answer you, that they have been treated by us with the m ist attentive hum inity. N > t only have they almost all obtained assistance, administered wiih a noble liberality, but they have even en- joyed their liberty. Hive they a trade, a talent, they exercise it in peace; and thus by a legitimate gain, and in the happiness of their existence. We admit them IN o our manufactories; they follow, without obstruition, husbandry ; received into the house of the countryman, they form patt of his family, so much so, that when the municipal offi. cer comes to verify their presence, he cannot often distinguish the stranger from the Frenchman. How many, gained by the softness of our man- ners have married in France, and adopted it for their country ? And you, friends of humanity, you shut up Frenchmen in floating prisons. Are you afraid that unarm d men should conquer the three kingdoms? A G ivernmen* so wisely prudent— A Governm'nt which will itself make head against Europe, can it not restrain a handful of men ? To defend itself mi: st it also dishonour itself by re- finements on barbarity ? For if you have not the safety of the St . te as a pretest, what name Jo you expeft wiil be given to your conduct towards our prisoners ? What would you say if the French Go. vernment should use reprizes ? If you hava pri- son- ships, has she not fo tresses, casemates, at Bitch, and Luxembourg ? W. LL it be obliged, i t order to bring you back to hum mity, to shut up far from day, and from cOntaCl with the living, the prisoners who are in its hands ? That is, never- theless, to what you EXPOSE yourselves ; but an ex- perience of several ages has taught you, mat France cannot violate certain principles. Your unfortunate countrymen have in its national char- acter, a too certain guarantee ; and it is that which E& ibyijsas you. Fear, nevertheless, to weary the patience and generosity of a great people— fear to make it resemble you for A TN mont. " Lord C istlereagh hns dated to assert in Parlia- ment, that he knew hut a single En dl? h prisoner who violated his parole of honour. We h ive before us an authenticated statement of names to disprove this as- sertion. From thie it appears, that since the renew,;} of hostilities, to the 1st of August, 1812, 838 Errr.

In that we have been guilty of a gross error. Lord Yarmouth, after having quit- ted France upon his parole, and returned with Lord Lau- derdale, whom we had sfeen in Paris, obtained his relrasr ill order to return to London.

" The enemy has entered our territories, and con- tinues to can y ai ms into the interior of Russia, hoping with his strength and liis wrath, to disturb the tranquillity of this mighty empire. He has formed in his mind the base determination to destroy the glo- ry and prosperity of our country ; with cunning in li s heart and deceit on his lips, he is bringing everlasting chains and fetters iuto. it. We have called upon the Almighty for assistance, and appealed to him for our defence. Our armies gloto with valour to crush him, to defeat him, and to drive from the face of tha country all those who may remain undestroyed j on their fortitude and strength we have our firmest hopes, hut we neither can - or ou^ ht to conceal from our loyal subjects, that the forces of the different na- tions he has assembled ate great, and that his temeiity demands our most vahant and resolute exertions. With all the strong hopes we place in our gallant army, we therefore deem it a matter of absolute necessity to as- semble new forces in the interior of the empire, which, striking the enemy anew with terror, will torrrt a second barrier in support of the first, to defend the homes, the wives, and the chiMren, of every one and all. We have called on the metropolis of MJSCOW, and we now call on all our loyal subj- cts, of all classes and ranks, both ecclesiastical an ! civil, recom- mending them, together with us, individually and ge- nerally, to rise and co- operate against all hostile designs and attempt^. At every step shall lie find the ljyal sons of Russia combating him with ali' their strength and all their means, without attending to his wiles and deceit.

Pmce Bagration, who was occupied in the execution of the movements, and to effect an union with the first army, on his march fell in with the whole of the enemy's cavalry. Tne Russian troops, long thirsting for b ittle, bore down u. ion them ; and after the most obstinate resistance on the part of the enemy, which adds to the gloi v of this affair, nine regiments of the French wete com- pletely cut to pieces; upwards of 10 ) 0 rank and file, and more than 50 of staff and commissioned officers, were raade prisoners. The obstacles which the ene- my attempted to throw in the way of the operations of our second army are now completely frustrated f nothing now intervenes to prevent both armies, with th- ir united eilort3, to prepare for the enemy that t , us which ( as far as the history _ of mankind t.- aches K ) every tyrant has met with.

" The enemy having directed a ereat force against our right wing, the first army hrs. put itself in motion to oppose it. Count Wiltgenstein. whose corps was posted on the riphthank of the Dwina, being inform- ed that two French regiments of cavalry had approach- ed Druia. sentMij- Gen. Kulnew across the river with the Grondo huss- irs, and a few squadrons of Cos- sacks. Kulnew attacked the French cavalry with complete success. The two regiments of the cavalry were completely cut up, and their commander, Gen. St Geni, with several officers,- and 200 privates, were made prisoners. On the Ut, Marshal Oudinot's corps appeared in front of Dunaberg, and at four in the morning commenced cn attack upon the bridge. They were repulsed by the garrison. According to the latest accounts from Maj.- Gen. Ulanow, the at- tack was tenewed on the 2d, but the enemy were again, repulse 1 with loss. Prince Ragrntinn has trans- mitted an account of the success ofctn. ined by General Pi a toff over the enemy. On 28? h .

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT RIGA. We regret to learn bv le'ters which have been received in town from the Baltic, that a most ca. * lamitous and destructive occurrence took place at IS Riga on the 25th ult. The garrison of the city, i| it appears, amounted to about 17,000 men, and, } in contemplation of a visit from the enemy, the demolition of the suburbs was' resolved on as a measure of self- defence.

RUSSIAN HEAD QCAUTIUS, JULY 24- Bona- parte has '', ued a Proclamation, slating his intention of marching direct to Moscow; but the Russian • iTftiy is sufficiently numerous to stop his progress • when.' vct they think proper. The French army is daily diminishing by famine and sickness, while that of the Russians remains complete, its losses being immediately replaced, from an immense body in the rear. Barclay de Tolly has by forced marches joined prince Bne>- ation, and the Russian army is fully pre- pared to give the enemy battle. SMOLENS< 0, JULY 21.— His Majesty, who arrived here yesterday on his intended journey to Moscow, has received the intelligence of the Grand Sei< jnor having ratified the )> eace concluded between the Porte trd Russia.

" GOTTENJII ' » GH, ATK;. 9.— Lord Cathesrt » r- rived here or Friday, and on the same day, our Mi- nister ( Mr Thornton) sailed on hoard a sloop of war for Copenhagen, at the initiation, it is said, of the Kin of Denmark. In consequi nee of this mission, the Swedish expedition, which is reported to have been in full readiness, is deferred. Tt is conjectured, that the Danish K'ng was apprehensive of this ex- pedition's real object, and is now desirous of joining the coalition. Of course, sll is at present conjecture, upon this subject, but it has a favourable appearance." GOTTEN BURGH, AUG. 9.— We have received a confirmation of the report of Moscow having given the Emperor of Russia 100,000 m- n, to assist him in the defence- of the country. All the large cities in the Empire are expected to follow so noble and pa. triotic an example, by which means the army will be encreased to an almost incredible degree. Letters ftom the Russian head- quarters are numerous in re- presenting the unanimity and enthusiasm which per- vades all ranks in the Russian army, and confidently speak of the eventual result of the great contest. The English packets have thjs day bevn allowed to come up to the town. ermmunica'ed to the Governor of the arrival of the enemy within a short distance from the town. ; The garrison was immediately under arms, and the pre- determined resolution of destroying the suburbs immediately carricd tn'o terrible execu- tion. The parts intended to be demolished were j- set fire to, and the fl- imes raged with such vio- lence, and spread with such rapidity, that in spite of every effort to extinguish or arrest their pro- gress, above 300 houses, not comprehended in the suburbs, were destroyed, and horrible to add, 2000 persons are said to have perished on the oc. easion. We trust this statement is greatly exag- gerated, but whatever may have been the loss, it must be an addition to the afflilion it is calcu- lated to produce, to think it had been occasioned by a false alarm. Tbe determination to defend Riga the last extremity is firm and unabated. Every measure of precaution and security has been taken, in pur- suance of that resolution. Gre < t rejoicings took place in that city, in conseciil » nce of the success t- f the Russians at Romanoff. Te Deum was cele- brated in all the chape's, and the city was at night illuminated. Tiie dreadful accident, however, in the suburbs, converted their joy into grief, though it did not diminish their resolution to defend the ci'y. Many of the vessels in the harboar were Jaden with women, children, and the moveable property of individuals, for pro. eftion against the enemy, who are stated to hive bee* prevented from crossing the Dwina, near Riga, by the boats and craft of the British squadron.

Directions have been received at Portsmouth t6 delay tlw- sailing of Sir John Warren's squadron un- til further orders. This measure is supposed to have been adopted until the arrival of dispatches from Mr Foster at New York, which may daily be expected.

SIR— Your Paper of yesterday, which I have just seen on m. y return from Windsor, contains, under the head Foreign News, this extraft from the Gazette dt France, assarting as impudent and scan, dalous a falsehood as any that ever disgraced the press :- r- " Lord Yarmouth, and his worthy imitators, obtained their liberty under the guarantee of their parole. ! n violat- ing that guarantee, they have offended the -' elitatt sentiment of honour. Lord Yarmouth was the first to set an example, so much the more fatal, as its author is ef the most elevated rink." I have always avowed, both at Verdnn and at home, my opinion, that the detention of tbe English in 1808, however cruel, by its being a measure never resorted to on former occasions, was justified by the « ei « ore of French property and French sub- jefls in British ports, before our Ambassador had ceased to exercise the fnnflions of his high office at Paris. This opinion left me no pretext, how. ever miserable, for the breach of a parole of hon- our. Since, however, a charge of its violation has been brought forward in the French papers, and repeated with various comments in the English, I am compelled to clear myself, which I shall do in a few words, premising, that I can support my as- sertion by the original passport* signed by the French Minister. In May 1803, the EnglUH in France were de- c'ared prisoners of war, and as such gave their pa role of honour.~ For several months I and many [ others were permitted to reside wherever we pleas- » • - MI . I 1 J- J J R^- haved with much apparent penitence The Leather Tax, we'understand, will be aban. doned altogether, it appearing that Government fe'ill have to pay the greatest portion of; it in mili. taty accoutrements, a pircsitisrancs which the Mi- ttisiert did not foresee/ to France whenever my return should hf> demand; j| ed. A similar parole was si_ gn_ ed by the Earl of Elgin and G neral Abercrctmhv . and sailed together from Mo^ aix in May, 1800. Upon my being sent b+ ck to paris, almost immediately after, wards, by Mr Fox, I demanded and obtained my release from ' h's parole, as a necessary preliminary to mv being under the profelion afforded by the Law af Nations tn diplomatic. Agents. Since it has thus become necessary for me to r « - nr to the year 1806, t take this opportunity of , adding to lire papers, then p- ililisLed, the instruc- tions accompanying Mr, Fox's dispatch of the ' 18th July. These insrru< fions I owe it to myself to publish in refutation of tfje charge once advan- ced, and now revived, cf having, ennfr- trv to the t^- nor of my instructions, pr > du? ed his M'jesty's full pt> w » rs at a time when ( 22d July) no choice ' remained but to do so or break off the neporiatiom ' It will, of course, he remembered, that M. D'Ou. j biil had then concluded a treaty, and th it he used all the weight - belonging to the Minister of no g'eat a friendly power, to obtain an official charaflerto be attached to the British negriciatirm. No oblo. quv could induce me, for obvious reasons, to m. ike this document public in 1806 7; it is n^ w harm- less, and I Have a right to add it to the official papers of that year. The story of M. de Clermont and the snuff- box, in 1811, is private, md of no moment, nor should I not ce it, but that the pen is in my hand. It is entirely unfounded, never having received that or any other mark of the French Emperor's recol- leftionor approbation, then, or at any other time.

At an- early hour this morning the London Pa- pers of Saturday last were transmitted to this Office by express frogi Donaghadee. Some interesting foreign intelligence, from the London Prints of Friday, is given in our preced- ing columns. ; We are happy in being enabled to state, that the Official Dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, with the Details of the Glorious and Important Victory over MARMONT, have at length arrived in England, a Telegraphic- communication to that effect having reached the Admiralty on Satur- day. A few hours will therefore, in all proba- bility, put us in possession of the Gazette Extra- ordinary, with Lord WELLINGTON'S description ' of one of the greatest victories ever achieved by the British Arms. In the mean time, the following confirmation of this satisfaflory even', from authority, has been published in London. It was received' by express in Dublin, and will no doubt be read with feelings of the highest exultation. London, Saturday, August 15. With feelings of the deepest exultation, we are now, enabled to lay before our Readers intelligence which places one of ths greatest viflories that ever was achieved by British Arms, beyond the possi- bility pf all doubt whatever. And what rarely happens indeed, tile first accounts, so far from ex- aggerating the magnitude of the vi& ory, have un- derrated ir. Bnt we will not detain our readers from the happy confirmation.- Early this morning a Gentleman,- who, we be- lieve, landed at Tephy,, having been driven in there, by- contrary, winds, arrived in town with a letter from Gen.

'< The General begins by stating that he hopes he shall not be deemed to have gone beyond his duty, in transmitting the account of a glorious victory, before, perhaps, the official dispatches from Lord Wellington, by the way of Lisbon, may have reached this country. " He then informs the Colonel, that he has re- ceived the intelligence from the Governor of Al- meida, to whom it had been communicated by Lord Clinton, who passed through there on the 25th for Lisbon with the Official Dispatches. " That on the 22d, Lord Wellington, who had retreated across the Tormes to the neighbourhood of Salamanca, drawing the enemy after him, brought them to battle and gave them a signal defeat— that he drove them across the Tormes, pursnirg them closely, and that our cavalry had overtaken and had another severe action, in which the French were again defeated— that prisoners were coming into Salamanca hourly— that the French had 2 Generals killed and 4 wounded— that their total lo. ss is upwards of 1000, several eagles, and 19 pieces of cannon—-. Marfnont had lost his arm. Since writirig the above, we hive received the following Bulletin * BULLETIN. ,,.. . _ " Horse- Guards, Aug. 15, 181S. " A letter was this morning received by Col.

The British Army had arrived at Arisellas, followed by the enemy. Lord Wellington, seeift? a favourable opportunity," halted h s columns, and attacked with such vigour, at five o'clock in the afternoon, as to oblige the French to re- cross the Tormes. in the greatest, confusion, and had not night come on, the- whole of Mar mom's army mustihave been destroyed. They lost 19 pieces of cannon, 4 Generals, and 7000 prisoners; Mar- mont lost an arm, and Bonnet said to. be killed, • and four other. Generals wounded-,. The number of prisoners taken is said to exceed 10,000, some say 14>, 000 men, but . it is certain that 7000 had already arrived ort the 26. h at Tj- nebroh. On ihe following day ( the 23d) the heavy ca- valry came up with a considerable column of the enemy, and took a great many prisoners. One German heavy regiment took 1700.1 Our loss is estimated at about 3500. M- tjor- General Le Merchant killed, and the following Officers wounded: Sir Wm. Bcresford, Cole, Cotton, Leith, and Alten. On the 24> fh, Lord Wellington was in march upon Penarande. The above officer, who was- otl the field of battle during the Whole. of the 221, ' describes in glowing terms, the intrepidity and gallantry of the allied troops.

At night the town was brilliantly illuminat- ed, and all the inhabitants of this city gave them- selves v. p to. the most unbounded joy, as a proof of the odium with which they view the French eagles, and of the enthusiasm with which they will sacri- fice themselves in the just cause which we defend."

ARRIVAL Ow LORD CLINTON WITH IM P VTOHE< i FROM LORD WELLINGTON. C0UR1FR OFFICE HALF- PAST FIVE O'CLOCK. The Plyn u h Telegragb announces the arrival of he S. wer at Falmouth, with the Official Account of t' e Great Viflory. It states the loss of the enemy at more than fourteen thousand men, in killed, wounded, and piisoners. " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, AUGUST 15. " HYMODTH TELEGRAPH. Official accounts are arrived, that on the 22d of July, Lord Wellington gained a vi< 3oryv in which the enemy's loss in killed, wounded, and taken prisoners, amounted to above 14,000. " The S- aflower is arrived at Falmouth, wiih d Wellington's dispatches."— Star. We have just Ivard with satisfaction that the gallant an! enterprising Mina has taken Vittoria by storm, with 900 prisoners j and that the French are Sy ing from Spain towards France in every direilion- 0 » ie of the consequences of the Peace between this Country and Russia is, as was to be expefled, the restoration of Peace with our Ally, Spain The Emperor Alexander, we understand, has re. cognized Ferdinand the 7- h as Eh, g of Spain. He has also ordered the immediate departure of Frenchmen from his territories. In this order are included the subjects of th « various members of the Confederation of the Rhine.— Courier. Notice was given on the exchange at Gotteti- burgh, on the 31st, that all persons who had fur- nished transports for the expedition, were to have them supplied with the necessary stares, See. by a certain day. The expedition, it was supposed, would sail about the middle of August; but there was a difference of opinion as to its destination. National bravery has never been more strongly exemplified than in the late sanguinary contest be- tween the French ship Riv^' i and his Majesty's ship Vicarious. Awongst ni* ny ethers we shall onlv'seleft the follewry, wh'ch deserves to- be held up to public adtn'fatifln, although the indi- vidual, the subjeft of it was not endowed by nature with high birth or fortune, nor adoriW by edaca. tion, with these acquitments Indispensably neces. sary to form the " great man " Jam's Dily, an Irishman, a common seaman on board the Viflori- ous, about an hour before the cessation of the ac- tion, was struck at hi? qu tr'ers on the main deck wi: h a shot, which ca ried away the entire of the left thigh, so high up that a port!- a of the hip was attached to it, and shattered the right to pieces: on his way down to the cock- pit he ob- served, that one of the guns close to the hatchway was run out, and that ( he men were nearly in the afi of firing, he immediately desired the seamen who were carrying him down to stop, which ihey did, when he begged of the men at the gun to al- low him to fire it, « and hoped they would allow him to have one shqi more at the Frenchman lefore he died, after doing whigh" he added, " he would die content." His request was granted, when he very contented- ly permitted himself - o be carried down, exclaim, ing on the ladder, " Fight on. my boys, fight an for yonr King and Country, until you die." On his arri- val in the cock- pi', lie said to the Surgeon, " Sir, I know you will do all you can for mbut I a'so know that there is nothing in your power." In less than half an hour after, his soui left this for another world. The investigation of the accounts of Messrs. Anderson and Co. bankers in Philpot- lane, is said to have proved very satisfactory, there appearing property not only sufficient to liquidate every de- mand, but to leave a surplus. IMPORTANT DECISION The Minister of Roth- say brought an action of trespass, in the. Edin- burgh Court of Exchequer, against a person em- ployed by the Collector of Assessed and Property Taxes, for levying the same contrary to the laws of the ancient realm of Scotland. The Reverend Gentleman pleaded exemption as a Clergyman of the Established Church of Scotland, in virtue of certain Acts of the Scottish Parliament, which, hejeontended, exempted the Scottish Clergy from payment of all taxes, past, present, a. id to come. On the part of the Crown, it was answered, tkat nosuch exemption was ever given by the Acts in question ; and should they have even happened t° Contain any such favourable clause, the whole had been unconditionally surrendered at the Union.— The Court was occupied two entire days upon this serious question, when an opinion was unanimously given, that the Clergy had no right whatever to the exemption claimed. THE ARMAGH YEOMANRY. It will be in the recollection © f our Readers, that on the 4th of June s » me very conspicuous symptoms of insubordination were exhibited by several of the members of this corps, in throwing . down their arms, and refusing to serve under their officer, Mr. BARNES, because, as a private indi- vidual,' he had thought prop r to sign the Petition In favour of Catholic emancipation. In conse. quenee of which, on'the 2d of July, a serjeanf and nine privates, were dismissed the corps, for their " very culpable and unmilitary conduct;" Upon that occasion, however, a dangerous and mutin- ous spirit manifested itself among the corps, and the whole circumstances having therefore under- gone a strict investigation, the result was what might have been expected— the Armagh Yeomanry, we understand, are disbanded ly order of bis Excel- lency the Lord Lieutenant. Ti is decision will no doubt be productive of the best effects— among the truly loyal we think there can be but one opinion. It must inspire the people in general with confidence in the mea- sures of Government; and it will teach yeomanry the useful lesson, that the most implicit subordina- tion is alone the duty of a soldier, and that it can- not be endured, that they should, in any shape, legislate as a political body, or attempt to die. tate to any one, the line of conduct he shall adopt as a private individual. For, without the most unquestionable obedience to their officers, we have no hesitation in saying, they would do more harm than good to their country.

He succeeded to the title on the death of his father, who was for many years Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1801, In consequence of an accident that befel the Inie Lady Parnel'i, a a!- ort rime preceding his birth, hit limbs were very routh crippled, and he was altogether Iticapahle « f speaking.

Heard you the dragon monster's dreadful cry ? In settled majesty of fierce disdain, Proud of his ir. ight,: yet scornful of the slain, The heav'nly Archer stands— no human birth, No perishable de- ii » n of earth ; Youth blooms immortal in his beardless face, A God in strength, with more than godlike grate; All, all divine— no struggling muscle glows, Thro' heaving vein no mantling life- blood Sow,' But, animate with deity alone, In deathless glory lives the breathing stone. Bright kindling with a conq'ror's stern delight, His keen eye tracks the arrow's fateful flight; Burns his indignant cheek with vengeful fire, And his lip quivers with insulting ire : Firm fix'd his tread, yet light, as when on high He walks th' impalpable and pathless sky : The rich luxuriance of his hair, confin'd In graceful ringlets, wantons on the wind, That lifts in sport his mantle's drooping fold, Proud to display that form of faultless mould. Mighty Ephesian ! * with an eagle's flight Thy proud soul mounted thro' the fields » f light, View'd the bright conclave of Heav'iis blest abode, And the cold marble leapt to life a God : Contagious awe thro' breathless myriads ran, And nations bow'd before the work of man. For mild he seem'd, as in Etysian bowera Wasting in careless ease the joyous hours ; Haughty, as bards have sung, with princely sway, Curbing the fierce flame- breathing steeds of day ; Beauteous as vision seen in dreamy steep By holy maid on Delphi's haunted steep, ' Mid the dim twilight of the laurel grove, Too fair to worsh'p, too divine to love. Yet on that form, in wild, delirious trance, With more than rev'rence, gaz'd the Maid of France Day after day the love- sick dreamer stood With him alone, nor thought it solitud.-; To cherish grief, her last, her dearest care, Her one fond hope— to perish of despair. Oft, as the shifting light her sight begnil'd. Blushing she shrunk, and thought the marble smil'd: Oft breathless list'ning, heard, ar seem'd to hear, A voice of music melt npon the ear. Slowly she wan'd, and, cold ani senseless grown, Clo « ' d her dim eyes, herself benumb'd » stone. Yet love in death a sickly strength supplied, OBce more she gaz'd, then feebly smil'd, and died.

REPORT OF THE NATIONAL VACCINE ESTABLISH- MENT, DATED MARCH 9, 1812. ( Printed by order of tbe Haute of Commons, July 29, 1612. J TO T1IE RTOHT HON, RICHARD RYDER, WCT'^ L SE- CRETARY OR STATE, HOME D T PA R M E NT, & C. National Vaccine Establishment, Leicester- square, March 9. Sm— The Board of the National Vaccine Es- tablishment have the honour of reporting to you, that during the year 1811, the Surgeons appoint- ed by their authority to the nine Stations- in Lon- don, have vaccinated 314- 8 persons, and havs dis- tributed 23,794 charges of Vaccine Lymph to the Public.. The number vaccinated this ' ear rather exceeds that of the vear 1810, and the demand for Lymph has been often so great that it could not be immediately supplied. They have grewt satisfaction in £ Mfinir, that since the commencement of this Establishment, not a single instance of the accession of Small Pox, after Vaccination, has occurred to any of the vaccinating Surgeons of the nine stations. The Bsiard report, that they have been lately furnished with many satisfactory official docu- ments from the Naval and Military Departments of Government, respecting the progress of Vacci- nation, and have Hkewise'obtained some other au- thentic papers on the subject, containing much important information. They think it expedient to lay before you a summary of their contents. It appears, that in consequence « f an order from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, Vaccination has been practised in the Navy to a great extent; and although it has not been uni- versally adopted, the mortality from the Sfiall- Pox, among seamen, is already greatly diminished. In the army, the practice of Vaccination has been long established, by an order from the Com- mander in Chief, and its effects have been decid- edly beneficial; for almost the only persons among the troops who have lately been affected with Small- Pox, have been either recruits, who'had re- ceived the infection previous to their enlistment, or soldiers who had not been vaccinated,, on the supposition of their having had the variolous dis- ease.— Thus, with a few exceptions, a disorder, formerly so fatal to the troops, is now considered as nearly extinguished in the army. By information transmitted to the Board from their numerous Correspondents in all parts of the country, it appears that Vaccination is almost every where gaining ground, throughout the Bri- tish dominions, though its progress is very differ- ent in different places ; and it is found that the number of deaths from the Small- Pox is uniform- ly decreasing, in proportion as Vaccination be- comes more general, and the inoculation of the Small Pox declines. The disappearance of the Small- Pox from the Island of Ceylon, was noticed in the Report of last year ; and the Board has now the pleasure of stating, from sources of authentic and satisfac- tory information, that in consequence of vac cination, this dreadful disease has in no instance lately occurred in the Island of Anglesey, in the populous city of Newcastle- upon- Tyne, in the town of Pet worth, or in the adjoining district. Through the different counties of England, the practice of Vaccination is becoming general, and the Small- Pox is gradually declining ; and even in London, where the opposition to the new in- oculation has been most vjolent, it is prevailing, and its salutary effects ' are becoming daily more evident. At present, by the best estimate we are able to make, it appears, that nearly two- thirds of the children annually born in the metropolis are vaccinated either by charitable institutions or pri- vate practitioners ; and that the number of deaths by Small- Pox has proportionably decreased. Pre- vious to the discovery of Vaccination, the aver- age number of deaths by Small- Pox, within the Bills of Mortality, was 2000 annually ; whereas in the last year only 7.51 persons have died of that disease, although the increase of population with- in th: last 10 years has been 133,139. The in. crease of population throughout Great Britain, in the same period of time, has been 1,609,000 ; and to these augmentations the practice of Vac- cination, has probably much contributed. The Reports from the Cow. pox Institution in Dublin, are of the most favourable nature, and furnish sufficient reason to beiieve, that since the introdiiAion of the Vaccine preventive, the mor- tality from Small- pox has considerably declined in that city. The correspondence of the Institu- tion affords satisfactory evidence of the progres- sive increase of Vaccination throughout Ireland. In most of the principal- towns of that kingdom the Poor have the advantage of gratuitous inocu- lation with Cow- pox, either at the hospitals, or at the houses of the Physicians; and it is slated, that, atn^ rg the higher rank, Vaccination is universally adopted. The accounts from Scotland, particularly those from the Faculty at Glasgow, which have been transmitted to the Board, furnish evidence of the general and rapid increase of Vaccination in the northern part of the island, and give the most sa- tisfactory proofs of the success and efficacy of the pradice. Notwirhstanding the incontrovertible evidence of the very great advantages of Vaccination, it is much to be lamented that there are still some Me- dical Pra, Aiti ners, though the number of them is comparatively small, who obstinately persist in disseminating, by Inoculation, the contagion of the Small. pox, and who strenuously encourage and support, especially among the lower orders of the people, the prejudices against the new praAice 5 rumours are industriously spread abroad, of de- forming and loathsome diseases produced by this praAice; and numerous mis- statements of cases are published, of the occurrence of Small- pox after Vaccination.— That in some instances the Small- pox has affeAed persons who have been most care- fully vaccinated, is sufficiently established; nor ought we to be surprised at this, whea we con. sider the Inoculation for the Small- pox sometimes fails, and that several cases may be produced, in j' which persons have been affe& ed with the natural ; disease more than once in the course of life. The | number of instances of Small- pox after Vaccina- tion, however, is very small, and we may fairly J presume, tbat, in proportion as the improvements || are made in the praSice, such occurrences will be I still more rare. The Board have infinite satisfaction in that he two following- important a ul faAs, in proof of the efticacy and safety of Vac cination, viz. that, in the cases which have come to their knowledge, the Small. pox, after Vaccina- tion, with a very few exceptions, has been a mild disease ; and that, out of the many hundred thou- sand persons vaccinated, not a single well- authen- ticated instance has been communicated to them of the occurrence of a fatal Smal!- pox after Vac- cination. They cannet conclude their Report without ad- verting to the mischiefs which are daily arising ' rum the diffusion of the fatal contagion of Small- pox in the community, in consequence of the Va- riolous Inoculation am^ ng the lower classes of the people, which constantly keeps up the contagion, and where it saves a single life, exposes numbers to a most dangerous disear- e. It is greatly to be wished that this evil could be checked, by such measures as Government in its wisdom might judge proper to frame, in order to prevent the spreading of the Small- pox, and thus keeping tip a continual source of infaflion in the heart of the Metropdlii. In Switzerland in general, but more particu- larly in Geneva, the extension of ' h' 3 blessings connected with Vaccination, has in a grew degree depended on ' he wa>* m and aflive co- operation of the Cltr;: y, who were assiduous in rec immeiiding the praflice to their p. rishioners from the pulpit, as well as promoting it by every other exertion in their power. Impressed with the strongest conviSion of great advantage which Vaccination would derive from a similar co- operation in this country, the Board j formerly considered it as a part of their duty to 1 address the Bishops, for the purpose of soliciting their assistance in checking the ravages of the Small- pox, by rendering the benefits of the Vac- , cine Inoculation more extensively kiown. The constant renewal of the contagion of Small, i pox in this capital, which they so deeply lament, is strikingly contrasted with the advantages en- joyed by several of the oth » r capitals of Europe, in consequence of the universal adoption of Vac- cination by Medical Pr- aftitioners, seconded by the authority of Government. The cities of Vienna and Milan, in which the mortality from Small- pox was formerly more considerable, in proportion to their population than in London, have been freed altogether from this destruflive pest; the first for five, and the latter for eight years, accord, ing to the statements of Drs. De Carrio and Sacco;( and in the city of Geneva, the Small- pox has been nearly extirpated. The Board has great pleasure in seating, that the money granted by Parliament during the last Session, has. bfen sufficient to defray the expences of the year 1S11, and they are of opinion, that the s « . me sum will be adequate to the expenditure of the current year. decisive jjj reason for inducing Mr. Park said these pleat might havn been good the Bishop to grant the De- fendant a limited licence of non- residence, but they were no bar to ' his a$ ion. In his opinion the Jud^ e concurred, except, he | thought, the performance of the duty at Kippax, ' for two weeks, might be considered as a fair pre- sumption of residence., and would take this count out of the penalties of the Act. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff in the following couots :— For non- re. idence at. the prebendary twelve £. r. d. months, deducting the income- tax, being three- fourths of the annual value 31 14 6 Non- reddence more than three months at Kip- pax, being one:- third of rhe annual valu 90 0 0 Ditto, more than eight months at Methley, being two- thirds of the annual value 540 0 0 £ 861 14 6 The Archbishop was in Cour. t during the whole trial, in the course of which he was examined as a witness. LIVERPOOL. ENGLISH LAW INTELLIGENCE. NON- RESIDENCE. HAP. AY V. CATHCART. YORK.— An aflj^ N was b- ought to recover se- veral penalties against ibe Defendant, for non- re- sidence ; and which came on before Baron Wood and a special Jury. This trial is the first that has taken place under an Aft passed' a few years ago, to amend and alter th ® existing laws relative to the non- residence of the Clergy. Mr. Park stated the case to rht> Jury. The Defendant, the Hon. and Rev. A. H. Cathcart, is reflor of Methley, victir. of Kippa*, and preben- dary of the cathedral church at York. The Aa passed some years ago, imposed severe penalties upon Clergymen not residing upon their livings proportionable to the duration of such non- resi- dence. The certificate of the Bishop to be received in evidence, as to the annual value of sweh living; but this not^ to preclude the Plaintiff from offering further evidence as to any increased value of the same living. The penalties imposed by this At9 could not be recovered, if the incumbent had a written licence from the Bishop of his diocese, allowing his non- residence, stating the cause of it; but no such licence was to extend beyond two years. Mr. Park first proved, that the defendant had been instituted to a prebendal stall at York, ot the annual value of £ 4- 7 per annum, and that he had never resided there j indeed it appeared that there was no house in which he could have resided, the houses belonging to his prebendary having been leased by his predecessor for lives still existing. Mr. Park next proved, that he was in- dutfed into ( he re- ifory of Methley, in that county, in the year 1805, and that he had never resided there at all; but he had a licence from the Arch- bishop, which protected him to the 28th of Feb. 1810 j but from this period to the date of the writ he was liable, which would be several months, and for which he ciaimed three- fourths of the income, which, by the Bishop's certificate, was found to be j£ 900 per annum. Mr. Park next proved the in- dutfion to the vicarage of Kippar, on the 17th of May, 1811, and an absence from that period to the 19th of August in the same year, except that the Defendant did duty for two Sundays imme- diately after his induction, but which the Counsel for the Plaintiff contended, was not a residence within the meaning of the Aa. On all these counts Mr. Park contended that he was entitled to recover. Mr. Topping conduced the defence to this ac- tion. The non- residence was not denied, except as to Kippax, which Mr. Topping said was taken out of the penalties of the law by the defendant having preached twice there, and being two weeks there, he might fairly be presumed to be resident, and this would make the period less than three months. He defended the other periods of non- residence, by shewing that there was no residence attached to the prebendary at which he could re- side ; that the parsonage- house at Methley was leased, and out of repair; and that he aftually had gone to reside at Kippax as soon as he had placed the parsonage- house in a state fit to receive his family. He also urged, that his client had not been unmindful of his sacred duties, but had officiated with zeal and regularity, and that not as a Stipendiary Curate, but without fee or gra- tuity, or other emolument, save the use of the parsonage house at the parish church of Wolver- hampton. ASCENT OF MR: SADLER. Wednesday Afternoon, Affrust~\ 2. This afternoon the inhabitants of this town were gratified with the long- expefled ascent of this ve- nerable and intrepid aeronant. Several hours be- fore the time fixed for the ascension, crowds of people had occupied all the lanes and avenues lead- ing- to the ground, which was a convenient enclos- ed field, near St. Domingo, about a mile and a half from the town. At twelve the town was near- ly deserted, and the shops being almost universal- ly shut, it wore the aspeel of a Sunday, but with scarcely a person in the streets. To such a com plete solitude the town, it may he confidently said, was never before reduced, on any occasion. The balloon was inflated within the enclosed area, which was partitioned off into three divisions, for the ad- mission of speflators, at fixed prices. Here up- wards of two thousand persons were assembled ; but the number of persons in the adjoining lanes and. fields it is impossible to compute. An assem- blage so vast, perhaps, was never before colletfed in this neighbourhood. The operation of filling the balloon commenced about ten o'clock, in which Mr. Sadler was greatly assisted by the scien- tific skill, and the aflivity of Mr. Peter Glare, of Manchester. The gentlemen forming t^. e Com- mittee of Superintendance also contributed their exertions. After the balloon was inflated, the car was at- tached to it, and Mr. Sadler placed hirrself in his airy vehicle amidst the acclamation of the specta- tors. The Gentlemen surrounding the car then shook his hand, and the magnificent machine sur- mounted the walls of the area, and became visible to the multitudes on the outside. As usual, the aerial traveller was saluted with hearty bursts of huzzas from innumerable voices, and the compli- ment was returned by the constant waving of a flag, alternatelyv- n each side the cir. Tbe ascent, which took place at half- past two, was sublime ; not rapid, but deliberate and grace- ful ; exhibiting the beautiful proportions of the whole vehicle, and the decorations of thenar. So hesisating was the ascent, that the speftators were gratified by the balloon hovering over them . at a very low elevation for a considerable time, after which it gently expatiated into the immensity of space. The wind took the aeronaut in a ' south- east direftion towards Knows'ey Park ; but as it was not Mr. Sadler's intention to travel far, he at- tained his highest altitude in about twenty minutes, at which time the balloon itself was reduced to a H very diminutive size, and the car was totally in- visible. In his ascent the traveller poured out one of his bags of sand, and the stream of white par- ticles glittering in the sun in its descent had a pret- ty effeA. The sky being cloudless, the refleflion of the sun upon ' the varnished silk a d banners was also pleasing. It would have added to the ' in- terest of the speflacle had a few light clouds been flitting through tbe fislds- pf air in the track of the balloon ; but the gratification was too great in iatf to allow us to call in the aid of fancy to picture an ideal which might have been more so. In about twenty miuutes the approach of the balloon to the earth was apparent, and the. descent was gradual and majestic, till 011 a very near ap. proach to the earth, mure ballast was thrown out, when the. bailoon again ascended, but quickly re- sumed its downward motion, and we lost sight of it amongst the trees, in the direflion of West Derby, and we suppose the actual descent to have taken place in the neighbourhood of Knowsley Park, and about four miies from the place of ascent.— Liver- poo! C Hurler. Mr. Sadler, who ascended from Liverpool on Wednesday, alighted in the easiest and safest man- ner, in a field a short distance from Derby Cha. pel, where he received the prompt assistance of everal persons, who immediately secured the bal- soori and car. prived of a father and mother. As soon as the ac- tion subsided, " and n- tture began again to take its course," the feelings of the tars, who wanted no . un- necessary incitement to stimulate them, wen- HH inte- rested for- poor Tommy ( for so he was called) ; ma- ny said, and aU feared he must die ; they all agreed he' should have a hundred fathers, buf wlut could be the substitute of nurse and mother; however, the active mind or humanity sexfh discovered there \ v^ s a Maltese goat on board, belonging to ( he - officers, which gave an . abundance of milk ; and as there was no better expedient, she was resor ted to, for the nur- pose of suckling the unfortunate child, who, singular to say, is thriving, and getting one of the finest little fellows in the world, and so tractable is his nurse, that even now she lays down when poor Fittle Tommy is brought to be suckled by her. P . elan and Irs wire were sewed up in one hammock,- and it is needless to say, buried in one grave. THE NEW INSOLVENT ACT.

INTERESTING NARRATIVE. MAHON, JcLY 10.— The following interesting and affecting little story, which I have just heard from the lips of one of the Officers of the Swallow, will, I am sure, be of interest to many of your readers ; In the gallant and sanguinary action which that ship maintained against a superior force, close in . with Frejus, a short time since, there was a seaman named Phelan, who had his wife on board ; she was station- ed ( as is usual when women are on board in time of battle) to assist the surgeon in care of the wounded. From the close manner in which the Swallow engag- ed the enemy, yard arm and yard arm, the wounded, as n.' ay be expected, were brought below very fast, amongst the rest a messmate of her husband's ( con- sequently her own) who receiyed a musket ball through his side. Her exertions were used to console the poor fellow, who was in great agonies, and nearly breathing his last; when, by some chance, slit} heard her husband wa, wounded on deck ; her anxiety and already overpowered feelings could not one moment be restrained ; she rushed instantly on deck, and re- ceived the wounded tar in her arms; lie faintly raised his head to kiss her— she bunt into a flood of tears, and told him to take courage, " all would yet be well," but scarcely pronounced the last syllable when an ill directed shot took her head of.—. The poor tar who was closely wr apt up in her arms, open- ed his eyes once more— then shut them for ever.— What renders the circumstance the more affecting was, the poor creature had been sriiy tiiree weeks de- livered of a fine boy, who was thus in a naoraent de- The place of Lord Warden of the Stannaries, to which Lord Yarmouth has recently heen aj- pointed, is one of the most ancient attached to the Principality of Wales. The. first Lord Warden held his place by the special appointment of Ed- ward the Black Prince ; and From this tim • down to the present day, the funAions of that office h. svt; uniformly continued the same. The principal dutv whereof is that of holding an open Court, within the jusis'diaion of the Principality, and there preside in all matters of dispute respiting the tin and mineralogy of Cornwall, and the Sovereignity of Wales, and to aA as Judge betvv en ihe par- ties, aided by a Jury. There is at present in the nursery ground of M?. William Aitken, at Hillowton," near Castledou. glas, a seedling hawthorn of this yeir's crop, which only rose abOve the ground in April, and is now about two inches high. This small plant is adorn- ed with a beautiful dower on the top, and this is a remarkable circumstance, when we consider that it was but a flower itself in 1810, was sown in 1811, rose in April 1812, and is at present in ft jwer itself. J. Pickering, the o tler at the Bell Inn, in Lei- cester, brought an aAion to recover the keep of three horses left in his care for about a month, for which he demanded three guineas; but the deci- sion of the Judge, which it is of impo; unce should be known, was, tbat ostlers, chamber maids, wait* ers, coachmen and guards cannot compulsively obtain from their. master's customers any remu- neration for their services, and hat it quite op- tional whethtr they shall be paid any dung and how mccb. FLAXSEED.— Tfie American Government hay- ing declared war against the British Empire, and all Commercial intercourse between the two coun- tries, from that period, having ceased, it may be necessary to inquire, how this country many be supplied with Flaxseed for the next season's growth ? The seed imported from the North of Europe, commonly called Riga seed, is generally suppos- ed to be of inferior quality ; but the trade, and even the possession of that seaport will be uncer- tain, while the war between Russia and France continues. There are now no neutrals to bring American produce to our ports ; and as we cannot be cer- tain of a supply from the Baltic, Mediterranean, or elsewhere, Flaxseed will, therefore, be scurce and dear. Let the Farmer consider this, and apply the remedy that prudence and necessity seem to point out, by saving his own seed, which is, per- haps, best done by deferring to pull his flax a few days beyond the usual tii? ie. g--:.^.-••!..• » •_• - •-•- •-•— ••" '.•'-.• it . ft. 1— BELFAST: Printed and Published by DRUMMQND AnoixsnJt, fo* Self and the other Proprietors, every Monday, Wednesday aiic1- Saturday. — Price of the Paper, when star to any part of the United Kingdom, ^ S, St. '.
