FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. On Tuesday in the last week the French funds rose to tS f. but on the following day'they fell again to G' 2 f. However, even the latter is an improvement which very few anticipated; and appears to us to be the most satisfactory proof of the solidity of the Government, as well as of the wisdom of its measures. Monied men are generally accurate observers, who have aho the best sources of information. A law of great importance has been presented to the Chamber of Deputies by tlie Minister of the Interior, who, it is remarked, was accompanied on this occasion by the Duke de Richelieu. Its object is to regulate the future mode of election to the Representative Body ; and we remark with great pleasure, as a proof of the complete triumph of the principles of toleration, that the elective franchise is conferred 011 the Ministers of all Christian sects. The report of the Commission, expected with such anxiety, . upon the law of amnesty, is not yet ready. Great difference of opinion continues to prevail upon it, between the King's Ministers and the Commission of the Chamber. The law passed by the Dqiuties, relative to the irremovability of the Judges, has been rejected in the Peers by a majority of 31 to 44. General Carnbaeeres has been arrested, on account of his having fixed his residence at a place which was not his domicile. This is a contravention of the orders of the War Minister, that every disbanded officer shall retire to the place of his birth, or of his domicile as a citizen. ESCAPE OF LAVALETTE. Lavalette made his escape from the Conciergerie prison on " Wednesday last. Ilis wife appears to have been the principal person in the plot; but she had no doubt many and powerful accomplices. The mode of effecting the escape is Variously related : one account stating that the prisoner got off disguised in Madame Lavalette's clothes, who had unreserved permission to visit her husband. Another statement says that the jailor had been gained, and accompanied him in his flight. Up to Thursday night all the exertions and vigilance of the Police to discover the place of his retreat, or the direction in which he flea, were uselessand the plot was probably too well managed to leave the denouement to ordinary casualties. Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa, to whom the King is much indebted, is said to have strongly interceded in favour of Eavalette, and in vain ; and we suspect that the visit of this Marshal, in company with Marshals Oudinot and Victor, noticed in the Paris papers of Wednesday, had the same object. The affair is so enveloped in mystery, that it would be rash to offer a peremptory opinion on the subject. The severe measures adopted by the Police on Wednesday night, such as closing the barriers, probably gave rise to the reports of an insurrection in Paris, which prevailed in London on Saturday last. We are enabled, from our private Correspondence ( says an Evening Paper), to communicate the followingfull details:— PARIS, Dec. 20.— It has been generally believed, for some days past, that the severity of the law would, by Royal prerogative, be mitigated in favour of M. Lavalette ; but the following circumstance will shew there was little foundation for such belief:— Madame Lavalette presented herself at the Thuilleries 011 Monday last, accompanied by the Due de Ragusa, through whose protection she got introduced into the Salic des Marechaux, where she waited the arrival of the King. Immediately on the appearance efhis Majesty, Madame Lavalette threw herself at his feet, imploring the Royal clemency in favour of her husband, The King, with fill that grace and dignity peculiar to him, replied—" Je suis bi'en faclic, Madame qua ma clemence ne puisse pas s'accorder aeec mon devoir." [ These were the exact and literal words of the King.] His Majesty had 110 sooner ceased speaking, than the Salle resounded with the unanimous cry of Vive le Roi! It is necessary I should mention one circumstance which, I understand, called forth the marked disapprobation of his Majesty ; namely, the conduct of the Due de Ragusa, who, for the purpose of introducing Madame Lavalette into the Halle des Marechaux forced the consignc. PAKIS, Dec. 21.— After having stated to you in my letter of yesterday, the ainswer of the King to Madame Lavalette, who had invoked the Royal clemency in favour of her husband, I expected to have announced to you to- day, that the sentence of the law with respect to him had been carried into execution; instead of which I have to inform yon, that lie made his escape from prison yesterday evening. This he effected by bribing the gaoler, who has taken flight with him. It is said, there is a subterraneous passage under the Conciergerie ( the prison 111 which Lavalctte was confined), by which his evasion was greatly facilitated. The . Minister of Justice was to have ordered the execution of Lavalette on Monday evening. It was supposed that Lavalette had taken the road to St. Quintin after he bad quitted Paris, as the gens d'armes were at Louvre, six leagues from Paris at three o'clock this morning in pursuit of him. The Minister of Police was apprised of his escape a few hours after he had quitted his prison, which w. ts supposed to be between six and seven o'clock yesterday evening Two of the officers on guard at the Thuilleries have been sent to the prison of the Abbaye for having suffered their consigne to be forced by Marmont and Madame Lavalette, THURSDAT MORNING, Dec. 21.— The barriers have been since closed; no person is allowed to leave the town. Several British officers, returning to their country quarters, were obliged to take up their abode for the night in the metropolis THURSDAY EVENING.— I transmit to you from the highest authority the following details concerning the evasion of Lavalette. This interesting event I briefly communicated to you in three lines this morning by the post, Madame de Lavalette's health has been, as you know, very seriously impaired by her late sufferings. For several weeks past, in order to avoid the movement of her carriage, she lias used a sedan chair. She has been accustomed to be carried in this vehicle into the prison, when it is constantly deposited in the passage of the under turnkey's room ; thence passing through a door, the yard and corridore lead to the prisoner': apartments. At four yesterday afternoon Madame de Lavalette arrived as usual with a bonnet a la Francaise and a large veil, accompanied by her daughter, a young lady 11 years old. She was assisted up stairs and dined with her husband About half past five M. de Lavalette, arrayed in her clothes, taking his daughter by the arm, and supported by one of the turnkeys, slowly descended to the chair. No uncommon circumstance occurring to excite suspicion, he passed before all the Inspectors and Guardians of that horrible abode, and, at the unbarring of the last gate, was restored to the fresh air, to his friends and liberty. In the mean time Madame de Lavalette, who had thrown over her the large cloak of her litis band, was seated breathless in his arm chair, with a book in her hand, and the candle burning behind her on a table. At half- past six a gaoler entering the room, spoke to her, but met with no reply ; he repeated the question, and astonished at the continued silence, he approached nearer to the Lady, when, with a smile, succeeded by strong convulsions, she claimed—" 11 est parti'— you may imagine the confusion. The Prefect of Police was acquainted with the event at a quarter before seven ; estafettes were dispatched in every di rection, and the barriers closed. It was at first rumoured the Ministers themselves had concurred in his evasion ; that an English Gentleman had conducted him away in his carriage, which was waiting at the end of the street for him ; that one of the turnkeys had fled with him, & c. The first of these reports is absurd, the others 1 am neither able to confirm nor contradict. The Police traced the chair two streets distant; there, it appears, M. de Layalette alighted and stepped into the carriage that was in readine- s for him. It is conjectured he will fly into Bavaria, where his intimate friend and relation the Prince Beauharnois will receive him with open arms, and the influence of that distinguished character is so great with the King, that should he reach his territories, there can be little doubt of his future safety. This well conducted plan was executed with peculiar felicity, and at the decisive moment; for M. Barbe Marbois, after several invitations, was reluctantly obliged to send yesterday evening to his Majesty's Attorney, General the papers which ex officio passed through his hands fiom the Cour de Cassation. It is said he has in some degree committed himself by keeping those important documents full two days longer than the law authorises, in his possession, The Attorney- General must have done his duty immediately antl I. avalette would have been to- night a headless trunk. Madame de Lavalette slept in prison. You would with difficulty conceive the interest she has every where inspired On quitting the King with Marshal Marmont, she threw her s; lf at the feet of the Duchess d'Angouleme, and the courtiers disengaging, her hands from the gown of the Princess, vociferated Vive Ic Roi / [ One of Lavalette's daughters is married to Sir Geo. Prescott, uncleof Mr. Prescott, banker, of London.] The French papers contain the returns for 83 Frcnch departments, in which the total number of persons entitled to vote is 2 0 , 2 8 5 . Of those, there actually attended in August; 14,830; in May. only 7,835. There was not one single tiepartment in all Fiance where the attendance was so full in May as it '. v"„ s iu Augu. t: and o t the other baud, there were some departments where the disproportion between the two periods was excessive : as for example, the Gironde, where 200 voters were present in August, and only 29 in May; and the Mouths of the Rhone, where there were in August 285, and in May Only 15 ! In May, too, the elections were generally by base majorities; in August they were often nearly unanimous. Thus, in the Giro ride, the Member who stood, as we should say, at the head of the poil, in August had 184 votes out of 200; whilst in May, the favourite had but 18 out of 29; and so in the Lower Alps, the first Deputy, in August, had 102 votes out of 120: in May, the first had only 14 out of 24. P R U S S I A . We are sorry to learn, that a dreadful catastrophe has taken place at Dantzic, by the blowing up of a magazine containing a considerable quantity of powder, cannon- balls, shells, & c. Fourteen artillerymen had just before entered, who were of course destroyed; and the killed and wounded, upon the best calculation which could be made, amounted to S00. BRITISH COLONIES AND POSSESSIONS. The latest Calcutta Gazettes dated the 15th July, state, that the late excessive rains both in the L'pper and Lower Provinces, have been extremely prejudicial to the Indigo crops. A tragical incident happened 011 board one of the Company's row boats, employed with Captain Maxfield, in surveying the eastern passage. Atvger swam from the shore, sprung into the boat, and seized an aged man, a native, 011 board. An European presented his gun at the animal, but it flashed in the pan. A Serang seized the animal bv the tail, while another native struck him 011 the head with'a hatchet. The blow laid his skull open, notwithstanding which, he succeedcd in retiring with his prey. The Jamaica papers contain melancholy details of the ate dreadful storm in that island. Rivers which had been in existence for ages past have been completely driven from their natural channels, and numerous buildings of immense magnitude, in their vicinity, destroyed. The devastation appears to liave been very general. It is estimated that one- third of the sugar and two- thirds of the coffee crops will be lost by this dreadful calamity. The Parliament and People of England not only abolished the Slave Trade by rendering the traffic penal in the highest degree, but, with a magnanimity beyond all praise, asserted the Right of Freedom to the Blacks as one of the Public Laws of Europe, and therein rendered every ship, of every Power, guilty of contraband, and a species of piracy, which should be detected in attempting to carry Slaves. All Europe has thus consented to the same system; and though there may be still some smuggling, and some connivance, the Trade may be re- " arded as in the act of being universally abolished. L'ndcr these circumstanccs, what has been the conduct of the Assembly and people of Jamaica ? I11 the Assembly of the Island, that is to say, in their Parliament, they have commenced a direct opposition against the authority of tire mother country; they have voted a string of resolutions factious if not rebellious; they have declared that the King and Parliament of England have no right to legislate for them in a matter purely of their own concern; that they have a Parliament of their own, and that the Slave Trade, as respects Jamaica, can only be constitutionally discussed in that Assembly. It is some consolation, that the power of these West Indian High Mightinesses is not as great and as good as are their intentions. It is prudent, however, to look to them in time. We do not much approve of the new invented term, the Legitimacy of Kings, because more may be conveyed in it than is perhaps intended even by those who use it. But still less can we tolerate any thing in the shape or tone of the memorable French Declaration of the Rights of, Men. and on Sunday were lodged in the gaol of Clonir. ell. One of them.( Mulcahy), on his being seized, appeared greatly agitated. One of these men has five children, and the other seven. A minute search was made for arms, but none were found. C I I I M . C O N . IN H I G H LIFE.— An elopement has recently taken place, \ vhich, we lament to say, has involved in deep distress several noble and highly honourable families. The lady is young, beautiful, the mother of several children, and wife of a distinguished officer. The gallant is old enough to be her grandfather, a married man, high in the Peerage, and of large fortune. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 23. ASSIGNEES OF AMI/ HOSE, A BANKRUPT, V. CLERK, FRENCH, AND Co.— This was an action brought under very singular circumstances; Ambrose, it appeared, was a very extensive Manchester warehouseman, in the city of London, and the defendants are in the like business, and live in Skinner Street. The former was in the habit of selling considerable quantities of Manchester goods to the defendants, for ready money, to supply the necessities of his trade. I11 these transactions, he not only sold his goods at a price less than prime cost, but the defendants exacted from him a discount for ready money, to the amount of 20 per cent. This ruinous course of business Ambrose continued, until he had sold to the defendants goods to the amount of 67,0001, at which time, being unable longer to support his credit, he failed, and his Assignees, oti discovering the nature of his dealings with the defendants, were so struck with the enormity of the discount, that tliev felt themselves justified in bringing the present action to recover back the 20 per cent, discount on the 67,000/. - The Court held, however, that they had taken the wrong form of action, and, without being permitted to go into their case, they were nonsuited.— The action was for goods sold and delivered, whereas it should have been for trover..

His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has signified his pleasure, that the several regiments and battalions which distinguished themselves in the battle of the 18th of June shall be permitted to bear the word" W A T E R L O O " on their colours and appointments, in addition to any other badges or devices which may have been heretofore granted them. RAMSCATE, Dec. 26.— Arrived from Calais the New Shoreham, Union, William, and James transports, with detachments of the 12th and 58th Regiments of Foot, together above 500 men. The Winslay Dale, Lark, Lord Sidmouth. Queen Char, lotte, and Catherine, Dover passage vessels, hired 011 freight to bring troops home, have also arrived from Calais, ( not being able to fetch Dover) with detachments of the 32d and 53d regiments of foot, and 23d Light Dragoons : they lost several horses 011 the passage from a gale, being too thickly stowed. All the above came in here late in the evening of the 24th instant; they have been marched on to Canterbury. Nearly all the regular transports have returned to Calais for more troops, where they were arriving in quick succession, brigade after brigade, to embark for England. The following list of the British troops that are to remain in France has appeared. They consist cf three brigades of cavalry, under the command of Lord Combermere, and nine brigades of infantry, under the command of Lord Hill, and are arranged as follows: First brigade of cavalry, consists of 1st, 2d, and 3d dragoon guards.— Second brigade, 7th, 12th, and 18th light dragoons. — Third brigade, 11th, 13th, and 15th ditto.— First brigade of infantry, consists of 5d battalion 1st regiment of foot guards, and 2d battalion of the Coldstream guards.— Second brigade, 5d battalion Royal Scots, 1st battalian of 57th, and 2d battalion of 95th.— Third brigade, 1st battalion of 3d regiment, 1st battalion of 59th, and 1st battalion of 91st.— Fourth brigade, 1st battalions of 4th, 52d, and 79th regiments.— Fifth brigade, 1st battalions of 5th, 9th, and 21st regiments.— Sixth brigade, 1st battalions 6th, 29th, and 1st regiments.— Seventh brigade, 1st battalions of 7th, 23d, and 43d regiments.— Eighth brigade, 1st battalions of 27th, 40th, and 95tli regiments.— Ninth brigade, 1st battalions of 41st and 88th regiments. The Duke of Wellington, in breaking up the army, returned thanks in a very handsome manner. He said, that, iu the late short but meinorablecampaign. thearmy had given proofs of possessing, in an eminent degree, all the good qualities of soldiers, and that lie was happy to applaud the regular conduct shown in camps and cantonments, not less than when in action with the enemy; and added, that he would ever take the deepest interest in every thing which concerned their honour and welfare. The 1st regiment of Foot Guards underwent an inspection 011 Christmas day, by his Royal Highness the Commander iu Chief, for the first time since it has been appointed a grenadier regiment. The battalion appeared in their new clothing aud caps, and his Royal Highness and Lord I'\ Bentinck, as Colonel and Lieut. Colonel, wore the same uniform. On this occasion the new colours were brought out, with the word " Waterloo," in addition to Lincelles and Corunna inscribed on them. The Archduke John of Austria was introduced on the parade in the uniform of the Imperial Guards. Government gave directions, in the course of last week, to the agents of the prison depots, at Forton and Dartmoor, ( Captains Mottley and Shortland) to provide vessels and send home all the French prisoners that are under their charge. On Saturday, those in confinement at Forton, commenced being shipped, either for Havre or Cherburgh. Every individual prisoner, at Forton depot ( and there are upwards of GOO) was wounded at the battle of Waterloo, and they will all return home, except one who died Jrom consumption, perfectly cured and in good health. MURDER OF M R . BAKER.— The Irish Papers received on Monday morning, aifbrd strong grounds to hope that the perpetrators of this atrocious deed have at length been taken. Three of the villains have been committed to Clonmell jail. On Friday se'nnight, a man, who applied to the Officer commanding at Waterford, to enlist for foreign service, having excited some suspicion, a strict examination was instituted, in the course of which he acknowledged that lie was present when the murder was perpetrated, and gave information of three persons who committed this atrocious act. Mr. Wright, the gaoler of Waterford, set off next morning, and at Clonmeli he received the assistance of an escort of dragoons. Thus supported, he went to the house of the men accused, who resided on the Fair Green of Cashel, about a quarter of amile from the town, and took them prisoners in the dead of the night. They wct; e secured in separate places, EATON, THE PEDESTRIAN. Tuesday morning, at a quarter past eight o'clock, this individual completed his task of walking 1100 miles in 1100 hours, upon Blackheath. The early period of the day, however, at which the performance was concluded, induced the pedestrian, to continue his labours throughout the day, and this he was requested to do, by a large party of respectable persons, who proposed visiting the scene of his operations, at four o'clock. At this hour he finally retired from the course, in the most perfect health and strength, greeted by the cheers of an immense multitude of people. Within the last few days, Eaton was visited by several persons of fashion as well as sporting celebrity. Eaton, it appears, is a native of Woodford, near Thrapston, in Northamptonshire, and since his youth has been equally distinguished for health and a power of pedestrianism. The facility with which be has executed his unexampled task, aud the unimpaired vigour he has still preserved, have induced him to propose some further undertakings; with a view, no doubt, towards deriving some advantage from bis extraordinary powers, the task which lie has just completed having considerably embarrassed him, instead of rewarding his labours. For this purpose he has published the following challenges: 1. Josiah Eaton will undertake, at the completion of his present task, to perform another thousand, or even fifteen hundred miles in as many hours, as The case may be, without resting from the fatigues of his present undertaking. Or he will start immediately against any other man, to walk a mile an hour until either decline the contest, for a proportionate subscription, to belong entirely to the winner. All claims to the subscription, however, to be abandoned by either party on the non- performance of the task. 2. Eaton will also, for a subscription of one thousand pounds, undertake to walk one mile every hour for three months successively; and shouid he fail, even towards the conclusion, he will forfeit all claim to reward. 3. Eaton, for an. adequate subscription, will undertake to walk 60 miles per day, for- 10 days successively, and of course to forfeit all^ claim to reward if he failed even on the last day. H A M P S H I R E PEDESTRIAN.— On Wednesday se'nnighf, at six o'clock in the evening, Isaac Bibbs started on bis Herculean task of walking 80 miles i n j ! 4 successive hours, from the George Iun, Havant, going a mile and a half on the Emswerth roatl, and returning. The pedestrian completed 48 miles in 10 hours and 23 minutes, when he retired to bed; after resting about three hours, he again started, and - completed the 80 miles in 17- hours and 48 minutes. FooTrADS.— On Wednesday evening betv^ en five and six o'clock, as Captain Irving, of the Royal Navy, was travelling in a Hounslow post chaise, near Colnbrook, in Buckinghamshire, he was stopped by two desperate footpads. Captain Irving being a resolute man; refused being robbed. The robbers were armed with pistols, and resorted to desperate means to force the Captain to a compliance with their demands, endeavouring to discharge their pistols, but fortunately it was a wet evening, and, in consequence, both the pistols only flashed in the pam Having failed in their murderous intent, they attacked the Captain with the handles of their pistols, with which they cut open his head, and wounded and bruised him in various parts of the body; he in consequence became exhausted, which enabled them to overpower him, and they succeeded in emptying his. packets of his property; among it was Bank notes and cash to the amount of .£ 50. his watch, See. They then left the Captain in nearly. a lifeless state.— On Thursday he was so bad in consequence, that be cotild not leave his rooms.— Two men are in custody 011 suspicion of having committed the robbery.

Nottingham, December 21 st, 1815. 1621 1221 674 167 2 1 1 Under two years of age 5: 200 Between two and five 1916 Five and ten Ten and twenty Twenty and thirty Thirty and forty F'orty and fifty Fifty and sixty Decreased in the Burials this year, £ 23. From a comparative view of the' mortality of Paris and London, it appears, that the average. number of suicides ( at least of late years) is much smaller in London than in Paris. In 1813 there are recorded, of actual suicides in Paris, 141 ; in London, 35; thus mafchig a difference of 106.— This ( when it is considered that thfc population of Paris is only about half as great as the population of London) is an immense disproportion, which requires explanation. It must be recollected, that , the bills of mortality record no suicides except such as are so denominated by the vcrdict of a Coroner's Jury ; and every reader - of a newspaper knows, that a vast proportion of self- inflicted deaths is classed under the verdict of lunacy; but allowing the largest additions on- this score, the number will hardly1 amount to an equality with the Parisian average. We do not state this fact, as one of much consequence ; but it is at least curious, as serving to demonstrate, that, when our French neighbours amuse themselves so. liberally, sometimes with solemn diatribes, on the crime of suicide as the peculiar opprobrium of the English nation, they arc, in truth, blinded by their usual egotism, which leads them to quote other nations for specimens of all the vices; and, with silly complacency, to look only at home for examples of ail the virtues actual and possible.' On Friday se'nnight, an intjuest was taken at Ellingham, in Norfolk, before Johli Pilgrim, Gent. Coroner, on view of the body of Mary Stannard, a child about seven years of age, who was burnt to death the preceding day. It appeared that the brother of t h e deceased was keeping birds in a field belonging to the Rev. Wm. Johnson, in which he had made a small fire, andlthat the deceased had been to supply her brother's place during the time he went to dinner. The unfortunate girl was soon afterwards seen in the middle of the fieid, quite naked, her clothes having been completely burnt off her. Several persons who passed by, seeing her stand with her arms extended, concluded it was something placed there for the purpose of scaring birds. She was at length discovered,, but was quite insensible of pain, and expired almost immediately. Verdict, " accidental death." , At the late sale of the Denton stud, near Darlington, Sir Harry Dimsdale was purchased by. Mr. Baker, for the. Prince Recent. The Marmion colt was bought by Mr. Denbam, who tias since sold it ta Lord Ltnvther.

LONDON, December 26.— Tlie market has lately been so heavy, and the supply of Cotton, more especially at the out ports, so considerable, that a depression of Id. a 2d. peril), has been submitted to; the sales, since our last, amount to about 990 bags, viz. 150 Pernams, at 2s. 3d. a 2s. 4d.

IT has been our pleasing duty at the commencement cf many preceding years, as on this occasion, to express our grateful feelings for the friendly support we have received. To justify that support, and to give it strength and consistence, it has been our endeavour at this most important crisis to devote a sufficient portion of our columns to the great political events transacted on the broad stage of life, of which all mankind have been the anxious spectators, and which after a scene of action the most rapid and extraordinary, have fortunately terminated in the re- establishment of happiness and repose. By what expedients this glorious consummation has been attained, it has been our former purpose to enquire; it may therefore be enough here to say, that the magnificent atchievement at Waterloo has been succeeded by pacific arrangements, that what was cut asunder by the sword, has been more beneficially connected by treaty, and that we scarcely know which should excite most our gratitude and admiration, the talent and courage by which victory was obtained, or the prudence and moderation by which its advantages were preserved. While these grand operations have had the fit space allotted them in this Journal, partly as due to their relative consequence in human affairs, and partly to enrich our pages with an authentic record of the most brilliant period of British history, wc trust we have not neglected to furnish that variety of information which would render this paper a useful miscellany, acceptable to those who look in such a work for profit, entertainment, or instruction. On this subject it may be fit to apprise our readers, that the Treaty of Paris of November last, with the Subsidiary Conventions, having settled by the common consent of all the great powers of Europe the foreign concerns of this quarter of the globe, it is not milprobable, that in the succeeding year, should peace, by the Divine blessing, be maintained, we may be enabled to devote a larger portion of our room to domestic business, or to the more immediate interest of the Sister I lands and their colonial dependencies; and indeed such a subject is sufficiently comprehensive without seeking elsewhere for improvement or novelty. It is observed ol Rome, from her entrance into the first Punic war to the close of the reign of Theodosius, that her annals involve those of all social institution in every part of the known world. So may it be said of Britain at the commencement of the 19th century: such is the station she has acquired among the communities of the earth— such the interest they all possess in her friendship— and such the apprehension they all feel of her enmity, that there can be no great public transaction, either in the East or in the West, in the North or in the South, in which she will not be concerned, and in which her aid will not be courted, and her resistance dreaded. Our domestic pursuits will also be attended to under a more limited construction. The proceedings of the three departments of Government, Executive, Legislative and Judicial, will not be neglected; and we shall especially attend to the local circumstances of our own town and neighbourhood, and to the provincial affairs of this nd the surrounding counties. We are aware of the new, situation in which we are placed, of the new sources of industry which are to be developed, and of the numerous changes, incident to commerce under the transition from a state of war to a state of peace, and we shall endeavour to accommodate ourselves to these vicissitudes, so that no means of information may be unemployed, and no source of trade and prosperity be disregarded. It will have been seen from the preceding rcmnrka, that our personal exertions must be insufficient to accomplish all these purposes^ Human labour has its bounds, even under the greatest amplitude of mortal energy, and we are too sensible of our own weakness and infirmities, to have the boldness to undertake, deprived of the generous assistance of our friends, what, with their cooperation, we contemplate without difficulty to perform. It is found by the art of the chemist, that many latent qualities are inherent in the materials with which he is conversant, that would remain eternally Concealed, as long as the attraction of cohesion exercises its sovereign power. Break down this wall of seclusion, and their properties readily combine with the surrounding atmosphere, or the substances presented for their election. We would imitate this art, render the intercourse of mind as easy and familiar as that of natural objects, invite into action the latent talent of our liberal and numerous friends, and present such subjects to their experience and observation as will induce them intimately to connect themselves with us, that all their valuable qualities may be rendered useful, so that what originally was a mere mercenary engagement, may partake largely of the character of a patriotic duty. By a distinguished wit of Ireland, Newspapers have been metaphorically described as the insensible perspiration of intellect. We have no objection to this account of them, because it implies, and most truly implies, that • without the freedom of the press, there can be no health and vigour in the body politic. But we want, with the favour of our friends, to raise them to a higher rank, to do away this apparent vacuity, to make what is insensible, sensible and obvious, and to shew to worth where it will find security, and to demerit, where it must encounter danger. Feyjoo was a Spanish Benedictine with more wisdom than wages, and less priestcraft than piety. He published a comprehensive work which he called El Theatro Critico, and which was intended to remove the prejudices of his time on every subject of popular error and absurdity. The fifth discourse is on the falsehoods of Newspapers, and he divides news into two parts, positive and negative: matters of state, and matters not of state. He wrote in a country where the freedom of the press is unknown, and under the ignorance of its ever being set loose from these charms, he says of his affirmative division, that " Political insincerity is a great evil, but it is unavoidable. As long as there are disputes and wars between States, the respective countries converting the press into an instrument of deception, will aggrandise their own successes, and diminish their own misfortunes;" and he shews the irresistible temptation that Governments have to employ this expedient of delusion 111 a sentiment of Catherine Medicis, which we have before quoted, " One article of false intelligence believed for three days, is capable of preserving from ruin an enlire kingdom." Countrymen, we consider ruin as the consequence, not of accuracy but of error, not of truth but of falsehood. Such is the nature of our British rule, and such the character of our British institutions, that we shall, in perfect sincerity, treat matters both of state and not of state, and we can, at least, shew, that as far as this publication is concerned, there is more of error and falsehood in the proposition of the virtuous monk, than in the subject to which that proposition is applied. Of our brethren in the like pursuit we might advert to a thousand instances of impartiality that do honour to the liberty they enjoy, but we will select only one example. The same English press which disclosed our own official account of the battle of Waterloo, gave notoriety to that of Gneisenau, of Ney, and of the Court of France, and even to the detraction and misrepresentation of the German Editors oil this theme of British triumph and glory. We have now only to thank our advertising connections for their attention, to assure them that they may continue to afford us the same preference, with increased advantage to themselves, and that, by the liberal plan on which this publication is conducted, every expedient is resorted to, to give that extensive publicity to their no tices, that is most conducive to their interests and designs.

Several accidents happened to foot passengers on Christmas day, owing to the severe frost, and the slippery state of . the pavement:— A female fell clown near the new chapel, in George Street, and broke both her legs; another female fell and broke one of her arms, at the corner of a new building, adjoining Mr. Stoties's coach repository, in consequence of the very reprehensible practice of boys making slides on the foot path,; and a man slipped down and brokeone. of his. arms, near the Leen Bridge, oil the London road. About ten o'clock on Saturday night last, as Thomas Cox was returning home from this town to his residence on the Forest Side, lie was. overtaken by three men, on the road leading to Bowling Alley Field, who entered into conversation with him, and ou his crossing into the lane, he invited the men to follow, on account of its being a better road. One of them took his advice, jumped into the . lane, and to his utter astonishment- instantly required him to deliver up his money. Mr. Cox hesitating to comply with so unexpected a demand,, the villain immediately struck him a violent- blow, and the other two coming up at the instant, joined in the attack, and beat him unmercifully. They, then rummaged his pockets, from which they took a pair of. spectacles and the key of a club box, but fortunately missed. 14 shillings ( the only money he had about him) concealed in another part of his dress ; after which they made off. Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the dwelling house of Mr. Morley, publican, of Snenton, was burglariously entered by some villain or villains, who carried off three great coats, a bottle. of gin, some coffee, and 14 shillings in halfpence. In the night of the 13th instant, three armed poachers were discovered in Swinow wood, near Bawtry, Yorkshire, and one of them, named Wm. Fletcher, of Louth, was secured, havitig in his possession three pheasants, several snares, and a loaded pistol.' On the following morning, he was taken before C.

In the evening ofThnrsday se'iinight, the new Leicester and Nottingham cOach was overturned near Melton Mowbray, and in consequence the coachman's arm was broken, and a voting woman, a passenger, was injtired severely. How the accident happened, remains to be accounted for. On Saturday morning, early, the 16th inst. vYas experienced at Gainsburgh, such a storm of thunder and lightning, as never was known at this season of the year. So lciid ' w'as the thunder; and so vivid the flashes of lightning, that ir is believed the whole town was struck with a dread 6f its supposed eft'eefs; but, upon a- strict enquiry, there were neither houses unroofed, stacks overthrown, chimniet blown'down, nor any personal injury done!

Quebec papers to the 20th ult. have been received from which we extract the following:— QUEBEC, NOV. 16— War it seems'is again about to recommence in our own vicinity. Hostilities have certainly re- commenced between the Americans and Creek Indians, and it is also said that the former ara " paring for an Indian war in the spring with thenatit' habiting the country on the upper part of the Mlssi" M O N T R E A L , N o v . 1 1 . — " MSLANCIIOLY ACCIDE' By a Gentleman who arrived in town last evening1 New York, it is reported, that a vessel was lost in*!. Ontario in sight of Niagara, on the 9th tilt, and that neat 50 persons on board ( principally merchants of Upper C a^ nada) perished. Our informant learnt the foregoing front a Gentleman direct from Niagara, who intended to have taken passage in the unfortunate vessel for Kingston, but arrived at the place of her embarkation a few minutes too late for a passage but in sufficient time to see her overtaken by a squall and lost in the waves. " The merchants being on their way for this place for the purpose of purchasing goods and making remittance to the merchants here, the conjecture that manv thousands of pounds property have been lost - will be Readily conceived as correct." Letters from Rio Janeiro, bv the last packet from thence, mention Marshal Beresford's arrival there from Lisbon about a fortnight before the packet sailed; that he. had had several interviews with the Prince Recent and had succeeded to the fullest extent in his missjpn'. So little delay was necessary in tbe object he had in view with the Regent, that it was expected he would be invested with full powers with respect to the disposal" of tne- Portuguese troops in cases of emergency; and that by the 15th November he would be ready to return to Portugal in the Tama, on board of which vessel he proceeded trom Lisbon t o the Brazils. Accounts from Warsaw of the 7th December, niention the departure of the Emperor Alexander for.

He is. an officer who has seen much service and. was in. all the Polish and French campaigns eVen that of Egypt. • , I0 the last Russian campaign he lost a leg.

WANTED, as an APPRENTICE to a PLUMBER and GLAZIER, astout healthy YOUTH, of respectable Parents. Nottingham, December 29th, 1815. ( One Concern. J The performances at our Theatre, « n Wednesday evening, for the benefit of the Lunatic Asylum, were supported with a spirit and propriety which received the warmest applause from a crowded audience. The receipts, we are informed, amounted to ^ 77. Viscount Galway has appointed the Rev. It. C. Wilson, B. A. son of W. C. Wilson, Esq. of Casterton Hall, Westmoreland, his Lordship's domestic Chaplain. Sir Robert Clifton, of Clifton, Bart, has paid to tbe Treasurers of the General Hospital, near this town, the sum of £ 5% 10s. being a donation to that Charity ; and a like Sum to the Treasurers of the Lunatic Asvlum. The Gentlemen and Ladies of Nottingham, who exerted their theatrical talents on Wednesday evening, for the benefit of the Lunatic Asylum, near this town, have paid twenty pounds into the hands of W. Coldham, Esq. the Vice President of tlut Institution, for which he desires to express his acknowledgements in the name of the Committee. We hear that the Right Honourable Lord Middleton had two fat oxen slaughtered last week to feast the cottagers and poor householders of Wollaton, Trowell, and Cossall, on ' Christmas day. We believe this to be a bounty of his Lordship's annually, that the poor and their families may partake comfortably of the festivities of the day and of the season. Last week, Israel Chamberlin, Esq. of Red Hill, caused a fat cow to be killed ; and on Christmas day the same was given away to the poor of Ratcliffe upon Soar, agreeably to the annual custom of his late father. Admiral Frank Frank, M. P. at his rent day, atKirklington, generously ordered a reduction of 15 per cent, to be made from Ms rents, which became dueat Michaelmas last. We have great pleasure ill noticing an Institution, established by tbe ladies of Mansfield, for clothing the poor, at this inclement season of tbe year. It appears by their printed Report, that they have already been enabled, from only a thirty- six weeks' subscription of ti e trifling sum of one petmy per week, to relieve 68 persons; 24 men having received a hat, shirt, and a pair of stockings each— as many women a bed gown, flannel petticoat, chemise, and a pair of stockingsand 20 poor people a blanket each. The clothes were all made up by the ladies.— It might be productive of much good, if other towns would adopt the same mode of relief. It is scarcely necessary to observe, how greatly such a plan would contribute to tbe comfort of the poorer class of people, who, in the severest season, are often destitute of both fire and clothing. On Tuesday last, at the Guild Hall, in this town, before Edward Swann, Esq. Deputy Mayor, and Mr. Alderman Coldham, Mary Bates was convicted of having, for more than eight days successively, neglected to run some lace net, which she was employed to perform, and for having clone other work in the same manufactory after she was so employed, and before the completion of the work first taken, and she was ordered to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction of the said town for two months. A victualler, of this town, was also convicted before the same Magistrates, at the same time and place, for having suffered tippling in his house last Sunday, and he paid the penalty of ten shillings, and costs of conviction. On Tuesday last, Hannah Mason and Benjamin Wright were committed to the gaol of this town, by 10. Swann, Esq. Deputy Mayor, and Wright Coldham, Gent. Alderman, for trial at the next assizes, on a charge of privately stealing, from the shop of Mr. Thomas Marshall, on Friday last, upwards of nine yards of a waistcoat piece. The prisoners in the town gaol desire to express their sincere thanks to C. L. Morley, Esq. Mayor, for his liberal gift of coals; and to John Elliott, Esq. for his annual present of beef, bread, and ale, on Christinas day. On the 27th instant, Joseph Rylev was committed to the county gaol, for trial at the next assizes, charged with wilfully and maliciously shooting at, and wounding George Roberts, at Selston, in this county. The prisoners in tlie county gaol desire to return thanks to J. S. Wright, Esq. ( the High Sheriff) for his liberal present of bread, beef, ale, and coals, on Christmas day. p i I O M A S - SHAKESPEARE, DYER, St. Peter's Gate, X Nottingham, respectfully informs his Friends and the Public, he has entered upon the whole of the Concern lately carried o n u n d e r t h e F i r m of B A G G N A L L a n d S t i A K E s r E A R E . a n d h u m - bly solicits their future Favours, which will be carefully attended to.

THE MISSLETOE. Thou yellow bunch with berries white, By juice of neighbour nourish'd, ' Tis said in Druids' holy rite Thy brittle branches nourish'd; Found on the mossy arms of oak With golden blade they cut thee ; And as the mystic words they spoke, On sacred pile they put thee. But Druid ritea are over now, Yet never be thou missing; I'll sacred hold thy hallow'd bough, Because it sanctions kissing; Thy branches o'er my couch I'll twine, And round mytirows I'll wreathe them, And rites, than Druids' more divine, I'll celebrate beneath them. Ah ! what's the luscious lip to me, Tho' dews of nectar tip it ? Unless I'm privileg'd by thee, Alas I I dare not sip it. Then while the Gorse, with golden blow, Shall kissing keep in fashion, Be thou at hand, O Missletoe, And help the harmless passion. But so it haps, if one is near, The other's out of season ; Or if the other should be there, To touch it would be treason. Ye pretty plants! admir'd of me; .

Extract of a letter relative to the manuscripts of Ilercula- • oim and the antiquities of Pompeii. ( We copy from a German Journal the following note, which contains some facts not perfectly known hitherto, though not of a very recent date): " On the 26th of November, 1813, a letter was read in the Royal Society of Copenhagen, from Mr. Schuburt, containing several literary notices from Italy. He relates, among other things, that about 300 manuscripts have been enrolled at Herculaneum. Among them are the following important works :— " 1. Philomedcs ( should this be Philodemus ?) on the Influence of Music ou the Human Constitution.— 2. Epicurus tipon Nature, two volumes.— 3. Pliilomedes on Rhetoric, twfo parts.— 4. Phiiomedes on the Affinities between the Virtues and the Vices.— 5. Philomedes on the Vices.— 6. Philomedes on the Poets.— 7. Philooiedes' Philosophical Fragments.— 8. Democritus's Geometrical Fragments.— 9. Philostratus on Unreasonable Contempt.-*— 10. Carnisirus on Friendship.— 1.1. Cotothes on Plato's Dialogue of Isis.— 12. Philoniedes on Religion.— 13. Chrysippus on Providence. " Only the two first of these 13 manuscripts have yet been printed. " The excavations at Pompeii are prosecuted after a certain plan, so as to go round the whole IOWD, which, when cleared from the ashes that cover it, will probably become one day the most remarkable monument of antiquity."— La Vigilant, Due. 9. Letters from 1- Jeidelberg ( Grand Duchy of Baden) of the 1st December, state:—" Our city has just received a letter from Prince Hardenberg, in which he informs it, in very flattering terms, that his Holiness, at the intercession of Prussia, has consented to give up to our University the 38 valuable JlISS. of tbe ancient library of Heidelberg. These MSS. were carried to Ronle in lt> 23, as a present to the Pope, by Maximilian, Duke of Bavaria, who, at that period of the thirty years war, had taken Heidelberg by storm. Buonaparte, during his reign in Italy, took them from the Library of the Vatican. Our University hod sent Professor Wilken to Paris three months ago, to ncgociate for tha restoration of these MSS. mostly German historians and poets of the middle age.; and he succeeded in this business through the intervention of Prince Ilardenberg. In the mean time, till the Pope's answer arrived, the MSS. remained under the care of M. de Muffling, Governor of Paris." Omova, the venerable artist from Rome, who recently visited this country, on inspecting the Elgin Marbles, said they were superior in style, to every thing else on earth; that at Rome they had no idea of such things, and would be astonished were they to see them; that there would be a great change iu the whole . system of both painting and sculpture in consequence. Before leaving London, he wrote letters to both Haydon and Wilkic, expressive of the highest estimation, ai^ d most affectionate regard ; to the former lie paid the compliment of accepting a magnificent edition of Milton, which Haydon begged to present in remembrance of his admiration and respect for him. A Society at Home has offered a prize for the best Essay, " Upon the means of conciliating the opinions nf men,"— the religious opinions we presume. The prize is to be a gold medal, with the head of his holiness, and upon the reverse the words feticitas. It will be allowed, that the science of music has taken a strong hold of the English nation, when the little drum hoys are required to possess a knowledge of chromatics: it is sail), a General Order has directed the drum to be beaten by note, and not to be learned by the ear, according to the old practice. Gaspard Barlxus, who was both a poet and a physician, deranged his brain so much by excessive study,. that he imagined his body was converted into butter, and always, on this account, shunned the fire. Being at length worn out with the continual dread of melting, he put an end to his misery by throwing himself into a well! The Waterloo Subscription for the relief of • the nobly maimed, — — The widow of all joy, bereft, And helpless young, that kiss no father's hand, now amounts to nearly four hundred thousand pounds ; yet this large sum appears trifling, to that raised for the sufferers during the plague of London, in 1665, when a subscription was set on foot hy the then benevolent Lord Mayor, Kir J. Laurence, to which the King contributed weekly .£ 1000. which enabled the Committee to distribute i£ 100,000. to the wretched every six days for some months. WATERLOO ANECDOTE.— The Rector of Framlingham, in Suffolk, soon after the battle, wrote to the Duke of Wellington, atating, that in his opinion, the Non- commissioned Officers of the British army had, hy their valorous conduct on that day . entitled themselves to some distinct marks of their country's approbation, and therefore he felt disposed, for one, to offer his humble tribute to their merit. In order that this might be properly applied, he requested the favour of his Grace to point out to him the Noil- commissioned Officer whose heroic conduct, from the representations which his Grace had received, appeared the most prominent, to whom he, the Rector, meant to convcy, in perpetuity, a freehold farm, value lol. per annum. The Duke set the enquiry immediately on foot, through all the Commanding Officers of tlie Line, and, in consequence, learnt, that a Serjeant of the Coldstream, and a Corporal of the 1st regiment of Guards, had so distinguished themselves, that it was felt difficult to point out the most meritorious ; but that there had been displayed by the Serjeant an exploit arising out of fraternal affection, which he felt it a duty on this occasion to represent, viz.— That near the close oftlie dreadful conflict on the 18th, this distinguished Serjeant impatiently solicited the Officer commanding his company, for permission to retire from the ranks for a few mi- - liutes; the latter expressing some surprise at this request, the ether said, " Your Honour need not dcubt of my immediate return." Permission being given him, he flew to an adjoining barn, to which the enemy in their retreat had set fire, and from tbence'bore on his shoulders his wounded brother, who he knew lay helpless iu the midst of the flames. Having deposited him safely for the moment, under a hedge, he returned to his post in time to share in the victorious pursuit of the routed enemy. We need scarcely add, that the superior merit of this gallant Non- commissioned Officer was thus established, and that there is no doubt but that ere this he has received the patriotic reward ! DTTEANRT'L F I R E AT BERWICK.— A most dreadful fire broke out on Wednesday evening last, in the extensive granaries of Messrs. Johnson and C'o. John Waugh, John Forster, and George Sligh. The fire originated from tlia kiln used for drying grain being overheated, and it was discovered at six o'clock, and raged with such fury, that in a short time the granaries ( 200 feet in length) were reduced to ashes. The damage is estimated at upwards of 15,0001. Forgeries of law stamps, to the amount of .£ 300,000 have been discovered iu Dublin. A son of the late Alderman Emerson, and a Mr. Frogarty, have both pleaded guilty to the crime of uttering such, and were sentenced to be transported for seven years. Extract of a letter from Dublin, dated December 16.— * We have had no less than seven Attornies, and eight other persons, respectable in public credit till now, sentenced to transportation, being convicted before a special commission at wauufacturing and vending forged stamps," ULTIMATE FATE OF THE MUTINEERS OF THE BOUNTY. It is well known that, in the year 1789, his Majesty's armed vessel the Bounty, while employed in conveying the bread fruit tree from Otaheite to the British colonies in the West Indies, was taken from her commander, Lieut. Wm. Bligh, by a part of the crew, who, headed by Fletcher Christian, a master's mate, mutinied off the island of Tofoa, putting the Lieutenant, with the rest of the crew, consisting of eighteen persons, into the launch, which, after a passage of 1200 leagues, providentially arrived at a Dutch settlement on the island of Timor. The mutineers, twenty- five in number, were supposed, from some expressions which escaped theni, when the launch was turned adrift, to have made sail towards Otaheite. As soon as this circumstance was known to the Admiralty, Capt. Edwards was ordered to proceed in the Pandora to that island, and endeavour to discover and bring to England the Bounty, with such of the crew as he might be able to secure. On his arrival, in March 1791, at Matavai. bay, in Otaheite, four of the mutineers came voluntarily on board the Pandora to surrender themselves, and from information given by them,. ten others ( the whole number alive upon the island) were, in the course of a few days, taken and subsequently brought to England. No information respecting Christian or his companions reached England for twenty years; when, about the beginning of the year 1809, Sir Sidney Smith, then commanderin- chief on the Brazil station, transmitted to the Admiralty a paper which he had received from Lieut, Fitzmaurice, purporting to be an ' Extract from the log- book of Capt. Folger of the American ship Topaz,' and dated ' Valparaiso, Oct. 10, 1808,' communicating the discovery of an island in the Pacific, peopled by the descendants of the crew of the Bounty. About the commencement of the present year, a further account of these interesting people was received from Vice- Adniiral Dixon, in a letter addressed to him by Sir Thomas Staines, of his Majesty's ship Briton ; and we doubt not, the particulars will interest our readers as much as they have ourselves.— As the real position of Pifcairn's island was ascertained to be so far distant from that in which it is usually laid down in the charts, and as the Captains of the Briton and Tagus seemed to have still considered it as uninhabited, they were not a little surprised tin approaching its shores, to behold plantations regularly laid out, and huts - or houses more neatly constructed than those on the Marquesas islands. When about two miles from the shore, some natives were, observed bringing down their canoes on their shoulders, dashing through a heavy surf, and paddling off to the ships; but their astonishment was unbounded on hearing one of them, on approaching the ship, call out in the English language, " won't you heave us a rope, now?" The first man who got on board the Briton soon proved who they were. Ilis name, be said, was Thursday October Christian, the first born on the island. He was then about fiveand twenty years of age, and is described as a fine yowng man, about six feet high; his hair deep black ; bis countenance open and Interesting: of a brownish cast, but free from that mixture of a reddish tint which prevails among the Pacific islands : his only dress was a piece of cloth round his loins, and a straw hat ornamented with the black feathers of the domestic fowl. ' With a great share of good humour,' says Capt. Pipon,' we were glad to trace in his benevolent countenance all the features of an honest English face.' If the astonishment of the Captains was great on their hearing their first salutation in English, their surprise aud interest were not a little increased on Sir Thomas Staines taking the youths below, and setting before them something to eat, when one of them rose up, and placing his hands together in a posture of devotion, distinctly repeated, and in a pleasing tone and. manner, ' For what we are going to receive, the Lord make us truly thankful.' They expressed great surprise on seeing a cow on board the Briton, and were in doubt whether she was a great goat, or a horned sow. The two Captains of " his Majesty's ship accompanied these young men on shore. With some difficulty and a good wetting, and with the assistance of their conductors, they accomplished a landing through the surf, and were soon after met by John Adams,* a man between fifty and sixty years of age, who conducted them to his house. His wife accompanied him, a very old lady, blind with age. He was at first alarmed lest the visit was to apprehend him; but on being told they were perfectly ignorant . of his existence, he was relieved from his anxiety.— Being once assured that this visit was of a peaceable nature, it is impossible to describe the joy these poor people manifested on seeing those whom they were pleased to consider as their countrymen. Yams, cocoa nuts, and other fruits, with fine fresh eggs, were laid before them; and the old man would have killed and dressed a hog for his visitors, but time would not allow them to partake of his intended feast. This interesting new colony, it seemed, now consisted of about 46 persons, mostly grown- up young people, besides a number of infiqps. The young men, all born on the isjand were very athletic and of the finest forms, their countenances open and pleasing, indicating much benevolence and goodness of heart: but the young women were objects of particular admiration, tall, robust, and beautifully formed, their faces beaming with smiles and unruffled good humour, but wearing a degree of modesty and bashfulness that would do honour to the most virtuous nation on earth: their teeth, like ivory, were regular and beautiful, without a single exception : and all of them, both male and female, had the most marked English features. The clothing of the young females consisted of a piece of linen reaching from the waist to the knees, and generally of a sort of mantle thrown loosely over the shoulders, and hanging as low as the ankles ; but this covering appeared to be intended chiefly as a protection against the sun and the weather, as it was frequently laid aside— and then the upper part of the body was entirely exposed; and It is not possible to conceive more beautiful forms than they exhibited. They sometimes wreath caps or bonnets for the head in the most tasty manner, to protect the face from the rays of the sun : and though, as Captain l'ipon observes, t. liey have only had the instructions of their Ot. aheitan mothers, • our dress- makers in London would be delighted with the simplicity, and yet elegant taste of these untaught females." Their native modesty, assisted by a proper sense of religion and morality, instilled into their youthful minds by John Adams, has hitherto preserved these interesting people perfectly chaste, and free from all kinds of debauchery. Adams assured the visitors, that since Christian's death there bad not been a single instance of any young woman proving unchaste; nor any attempt at seduction oil the part of the men. They all labour while young in the cultivation of the ground; and when possessed of a sufficient quantity of cleared land and of stock to maintain a family, they are allowed to marry, but always with the consent of Adams, who unites them by a sort of marriage ceremony of his own. The greatest harmony prevailed in this little society; their only quarrels, and these rarely happened, being, according to their own expression, quarrels of the mouth; they are honest iu their dealings, which consist of bartering different articles for mutual accommodation. Their habitations are extremely neat. The little village of Pitcairn forms a pretty square, the houses at the upper end of which are occupied by the patriarch John Adams, and his family, consisting of his old blind wife and three daughters from fifteen to eighteen years of age, and a boy of eleven; a daughter of his wife by a former husband, and a son- inlaw. On the opposite side is the dwelling of Thursday October Christian; and in the centre is a smooth verdant lawn on which the poultry are let loose, fenced ill so as to prevent the intrusion of the domestic quadrupeds. All that was done was obviously undertaken oil a settled plan, unlike to any thing to be met with on the other islands. In their houses too they had a good deal of decent furniture, consisting of beds laid upon bedsteads, with neat covering; they had also tables, and large chests to contain their valuables and clothing, wlii'rti is made from the bark of a certain tree, prepared chiefly by the elder Otaheitau females. Adams's house consisted of two rooms, and the windows had shutters to pull to at night. The younger part of the sex are, as before stated, employed with their brothers, under the direction of their common father Adams, iu the culture bf the ground, which produces cocoa nuts, bananas, the bread- fruit tree, yams, sweet potatoes, and turnips. They have also plenty of hogs and goats; the woods abound with a species of wild hog, and the coasts of the island with several kinds of good fish. Their agricultural implements are made by themselves from the iron supplied by the Bounty, which with great labour they beat out into spades, hatchets, crows, & c. This was not all.— The good old man kept a regular journal, iii which was entered the nature and quantity of work performed by each family, what each had received, and what was due on account. There W3s, it seems, besides private property, a sort of general stock, out of which articles were issued on account to the several members of the community ; and for mutual accommodation exchanges of one kind of previsions for another were very frequent, ae salt for fresh provisions, vegetables and fruit for poultry, fish, & c.; also when the stores of one family were low, or wholly expended, a fresh supply was raised from another, or out of the general stock, to be re- paid when circumstances were more favourable : all of which was noted down in John Adams's journal. But what was most gratifying of all to the visitors was the simple and unaffected manner in which they returned thanks to tbe Almighty for the many blessings they enjoyed. They never failed to say grace before and after meals, to pray every morning at sun- rise, and thev frequently repeated the Lord's Prayer and the Creed. ' It was truly pleasing'says Captain Pipon ' to see these poor people so well disposed to listen so attentively to moral instruction, to believe in the attributes of God, and to place their reliance on divine goodness.' Tilt good old man was anxious to know what was going on in the old world, and they had the means of gratifying his curiosity by supplying liirn with some magazines and modern publications. His library consisted of the books that belonged to Admiral Bligh, hut the visitors had not time to inspect them. They enquired particularly after Fletcher Christian. This ill- fated young man, it seems, was never happy after the rash and inconsiderate step which he had taken ; he became sullen and morose, and practised the very same conduct towards his companions in guilt, which heand they so loudly complained against in their late commander. Disappointed in his expectations at Otaheite, and the Friendly Islands, and most probably dreading a discovery, this deluded youth committed himself and his remaining confederates to the mere chance of being cast upon some desert island, and chance threw them on that of Pitcairn. Finding . no anchorage near it, he ran the ship upon the rocks, cleared her of the live stock and other articles which they had been supplied with at Otaheite, when beset her on fire, that no trace of inhabitants might be visible, and all hope of escape cut off from himself aud his wretched followers. lie soon however disgusted both his own countrymen and the Otaheitans, by his oppressive and tyrannical conduct; they divided into parties, and disputes and affrays and murders were the consequence. His Otaheitau wife died within a twelvepionth fi; o, m their landing; after which he carried off one that belonged to an Otaheitau mail, who watched for an opportunity of taking his revenge, and shot" liiin dead while digging in his own field. Thus terminated the existence of this miserable, deluded young man, who was neither deficient in talent nor energy, nor in connexions, and who might have risen in the scrvice, and become an ornament to his profession. This island is about six miles long, by three broad, covered with wood, and the soil very rich : situated under the parallel of 25 S. latitude, and ill the midst of such a wide expanse of oceau. tbe climatemust be fine, and admirably adapted for the reception, of all the vegetable productions of every part of tbe habitable globe. The visitors supplied the inhabitants with some tools, kettles, and other articles, such as the high surf would permit them to land. His real name was Alexander Wilson. There is not an English reader that will not read with the greatest pain the following statement, which appeared in a Paper of Monday: Extract of a I. etter from Paris, dated Sec. 18.— The 95th British regiment, marching from Cambray, on account of the roads being too much encumbered by troops, baited at Taverny, a village 15 miles from Paris, on Saturday and Sunday week : on the Monday evening, between iiine and ten o'clock, two of the soldiers of the names of Walker and Neale, attempted to steal a pig from a cottage situated 200 yards from the village, occupied by a poor man named Laurence Quedot, his wife and ( laughter ; they were in bed, and hearing a noise, the man got up, and, on opening his door, received a severe sabre wound on his head; he ran back into the house, followed by the men, v.' homet the wife, gave her a severe" cul on the side of the head, and the sword gliding down cut off the right ear; the daughter was in bed, aud the, villains thought to dispatch her where. she lay, but only wounded her slightly, being in the dark. The old man's business being garde champetre ofthe Commune, he possessed a gun, which he fired, and shot one of- the villains through, the breast; the other attacked him, and laid his head open in two places, and cut his arm severely, which he had raised to ward . off the blows. The poor people were followed out of the house by the savages, and tile woman had inevitably been killed if she had not evaded a blow, which missing her, cut a stake nearly in two. The report of - the gun fortunately brought one of the Officers to the spot, who arrested the two men.; alii} the one is now in irons,. and the other is not expected to recover from his wound. The poor people are by no means considered out of danger. The Officers of tbe § 5th have behaved very kindly to them, given theiii money, and seen they have surgical " aid; and it is hoped, while a severe example is made of the ruffians, fiiai the poor creatures will receive some permanent relief, ordered by the Duke of Wellington. The shirts of the man and woman are covered with blood, as if they had been steeped in a pail pf it, and both the house and yard testify the savage ferocity of the soldiers. At a General Court Martial held lately in France, private Wm. Foster, of the 6th foot, was sentenced to be shot, ' fo'r baviug deserted to the enemy when before liayonnc, in the year 1814 : and private ——•. M'Eyoy, of tbe 1st battalion, 71st- regiment, for having ill used and robbed a Frenchman, near Versailles, was sentenced to be hanged; which sentences were put into execution. Lieut. Cooper, of the- 84th regt. has been tried by a Court Martial, and dismissed the service, on a charge o f " introducing a woman into the regiment as his wife, she not being so." PROTESTANT PERSECUTION.— For the purpose of putting a stop to the exertions made in this country for the relief of the persecuted Protestants of the South of France, a statement has been published, the object of which is to ' shew that those Protestants have, ever since the year 1790, been hostile to the Bourbons, to whom the Catholics of Nismes, and the adjacent country, have been always particularly attached. To these principles the writer of the article in question attributes the excesses committed at Nismes, alleging that the Protestants were, in many instances, the perpetrators, and the Catholics the sufferers.— The whole statement, however, appears matter of unsubstantial assertion; aud of argument unsupported by fact. The remains of the late Duke of Norfolk were removed on Saturday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, from St. James's Square,, to be interred ill the family vault at Dorking. The late Duke of Norfolk is said to have bequeathed, by his will, all his disposable property, amounting to nearly 40,0001. a year, to the eldest son of Mr. Howard Molyneux, the Member for Gloucester,- with the exception of small legacies to his natural children, Sudan annuity of 2001. to a young gentleman who resided with him, and to whom he appeared much attached. The settled estates, which devolve upon the present Duke, amount to 50. OOOI. a yeaf. His Grace, who is of a Roman Catholic family, we believe, has not conformed to the religion of the Established Church. Earl Percy is mentioned as the probable successor of the Duke of Norfol:;, as President ofthe Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, & c. The Duke of Richmond is to succced to the Lord Lieutenancy oftlie county of Sussex, vacant by the death of the Duke of Norfolk. We understand the Earl of Shrewsbury lately requested the attendance of his tenantry at his seat, the Abbey, near Alton, Staffordshire, when they received the gratifying information of tiieir rents being lowered 20 per cent, and were regaled with an elegant dinner and plenty of liquor of various kinds. At the meeting convened by those exalted and benevolent character's, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl Carysfort, and the Bishop of Peterborough, and held at the Town Hall in the city of Peterborough on the 13th instant, which was numerously and respectably attended, the establishment of a Dispensary for tbe purpose of affording medical advice and medicines gratis to the poor of the city of Peterborough, and its neighbourhood, to a considerable extent, was unanimously agreed upon. The institution, We are happy to say, has commenced under the most favourable auspices, and promises to be very liberally supported. A serious and distressing accident took place on Saturday se'nnight, as tbe detachment of the North York Militia were . leaving Stafford for Lichfield. As one of the baggage waggons was passing by the Hough, with several of the soldiers* wives sitting on the gearing, the frame of the gearing broke, and several women fell. Among them was the wife of Serjeant Watson, with an infant child at her breast. She was incumbered with a soldier's cloak, and fell with her head between the fore and hind wheels, when one of the latter passing over her bead, caused her immediate death. She had held the child so firm to her breast in the fall, that it was taken up without having sustained any injury.— A coroner's inquest sat on the body, and returned a verdict of accidental death. On Friday week, the following serious accident took place at Nesbain Main Colliery. Four of the workmen were employed on a stage 70 fathoms down the shaft, and one of them came to the bank to get something he wanted; while talking to the banksman, and' incautiously passing along a plank he fell down upon the stage he had a few minutes before left, and so great was the force he had acquired, that 3 beams 6 inches by 4, which supported the stage, were broken by the shock, and the poor fellow, with his three companions, were precipitated to the bottom ( 5 » fathoms farther) and all dashed to pieces. Elizabeth Thody, a poor woman, of Downham Market, lately threw a quantity of sulphur on the fire, by which means she was immediately suffocated. Three children iu the room narrowly escaped with life. During the night of Friday week, there was a tremendous storm of rain, thuudcr, aud forked lightning;, at Leeds. PEDESTRIAN MATCH OF 1 , 2 0 0 MILES— MAIIISTONF., Dec. 2 4 . | — On Saturday morning, at twelve o'clock, a. m. Tnffee started, and, with the assistance of his son, completed, at half- past six o'clock, 23 miles ; at twelve o'clock, 42 miles; and finished their task of 1,200 miles 10 minutes after four o'clock, being allowed till yesterday morning at half past 10 o'clock to accomplish it. Of this performance, young Tuffee, a boy 12 years of age, went, without the least impediment, 502 niiles; the father 698. CHEAP AND SPEEDY WAY TO TEED GEESE.— Take turnips and cut them in pieces similar to dice, but smaller ; put them into a trough of water; six geese were lately put to feed at Oniburj', near Ludlow, each weighing 9lbs. lean; and in the course of three weeks feeding as above, they weighed 20lbs. each. One being dressed, produced 4lbs. of oil. ' The turkey, which, makes, so distinguished a dish on the festive board at this season ofthe year, is a native of America, and was first introduced into Europe from Mexico, in the year 1524. This fine bird still abounds in the uncultivated country behind Virginia, and unfrequented spots at the back of the . Southern provinces ; here they commonly weigh about 30 pounds each, and have been met with in ( locks of more than 5000. The Indians make clothing of the feathers, twisting the inner webs into a strong double thread ofthe inner bark of the mulberry tree, which appears like matting, rich and glossy, and as fine as silk shag.

" Health is the vital Principle of Bliss." THOMPSON. IET those who are afflicted in the following manner l reflect on the cause that produced such havoc upon " the wholesome appetites and powers of life"— disordered stomach,, dry cough, weakness in the voice, hoarseness, shortness of breath upon the least exercise, and relaxation of the whole system. Those afflicted with paleness, languor of the eyes, weakness of sight or memory, should take care to consider Linnxus's advice, that " youth is the important period for framing a robust constitution," and that " nothing is to be dreaded so much as premature excess." The foundation of a happy old age is a good constitution in youth: temperance and moderation at that age are passports to happy grey hairs. The Cordial Balm of Gilead, prepared by Dr. Solomon, Gilead House, near Liverpool, is universally acknowledged to bo peculiarly efficacious ill all inward wasnngs, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate coughs, shortness of breath, and consumptive habits.
