THE PECTORAL ELIXIR. Experience has proved this Medicine to be the most salutary and efficacious remedy for Colds, Coughs, Catarrhs, and Asthmatic Affections. By promoting gentle expectoration, it almost instantly removes slight anil recent cotds; and a very few doses are generally sufficient to overcome those which from neglect have agsuo td a more serious character, and arte also accompanied with cough. Being peculia- ly adapted to give freedom to respiration, it is the most effectual medicine in Asthmatic Complaints, shortness of breath, hoarseness, wheezings, soreness and obstructions of the breast and Iung6, and all the usual symptoms which attend the beginning of consumptions; and if taken in time will prevent this fatal disease! Many different Cough Medicines being soi l under nearly similar names, purchasers of this Pectoral Elixir, tot prevent being disappointed of the genuine medicine, are requested to be particular in observing that each bottle bis affixed to it the Government Stamp, wiih the name of " BUTLER, No. 4.

This language has offended and embatrassed the Court of Madrid, although we do not believe it will influence its determination; indeed, we feel confident that that determination is made, and is now in the United States. We come to this conclusion, from a knowledge of the fact, that the Spanish Minister, Don Onis, has at this moment in his possession sealed dispatches from his Court, which dispatches he is directed not to open until the meeting of Congress!

On their re- exportation they must pay 8 per cent, on an estimated value of 80 milreas per pipe. All this together is tantamount to a prohibition. The Consular dues, to which all commodities not tbe produce of this soil are subjected, to be raised to eight per cent, on shipments made on board foreign vessels, but remain at four per cent, on Portuguese vessels. The chief object of the Government in all these regulations is to give encouragement to the Portuguese flag. The plot which has lately been discovered in Lisbon seems to have made a great impression on our Cabinet, which is struck with the necessity of doing something to attach his Majesty's subjects in Europe to the present monarchy. An order has already been issued, that the sale of Brazil wood and elephant's teeth, which used to be made in London for account of the Portuguese Crown, should be transferred to Lisbon from the 1st of January next. Besides which, the Court and army is to consume no other but Portuguese manufactured goods for the future. The next step expected is a prohibitory duty upon all foreign wines, and the strongest measure which is talked of is laying a duty upon all Brazil produce exported for any other country but Portugal. Such a step might be talked of by the ignorant; but we cannot imagine it could be thought seriously of by an enlightened and liberal Ministry, and we are. tempted to give those epithets to the present- one, after their advising his Majesty not to follow the example of the Governors of Portugal in prohibiting in the Brazils the Portuguese print, viz.: journals and magazines published in London. Considering the nature of this Government, and what room it leaves for Jthe reflections of the renegadoes, who are writing under the protection of your press, it certainly required more sense and fervour of mind than is commonly found in the councils of arbitrary Princess, not to attempt the ineffectual measure of prohibition. interesting.

These two purposes, apparently opponent and incompatible with each other, \ yere, however, conjointly the object., of his efforts, and in pursuing this difficult task of balancing impartially different interests, he had . the rare happiness of giving satisfaction tybothparties: the Tenant felt that his con,- forts were well provided for, the Landlord that his interest were fully considered :.- of the success in hoth these points the universal lamentation of the Tenantry, and the deep regret of the Landlord for bis death, afford lrrefraeablo proof. ° He had long acted as a Magistrate in the county of Wicklow to the great advantage of a district where jarring interests naturally give rise to petty feuds, and to frequent aopealsto Magisterial influence; on such occasions it was his'practice to lay aside the authority of the Magistrate, and to resort to the influence of the Man, the common Friend, the unprejudiced, impartial Arbiter, the just and equitable Composer of differences: under his conciliating management thh method seldom proved- unsuccessful! and thus he attained the great object of his life, that of promoting the happiness' of all those under bis immediate care, bv inspiring them with sentiments of good will towards each o t h e r . h. diffusing a spirit of generaLha'rmonjr.

The Beggars' Opera was the principal entertainment announced for Monday evening, but, much to the credit of the New York audience, not even the popularity of Mr Incledon, nor his excellent songs, were found sufficient to stifle the marks of disapprobation which were loudly heard from all parts of the house at the dropping of the curtain. Those especially who did not know the history of the piece, so absurdly misnamed, but came with expectations of seeing something entirely different, were quite offended and disgusted ; which they were at no pains to conceal. After sentence had thus been passed on the play, the manager asked Mr Incledon, since so respectable a house had been disappointed in the play, whether it would not be in his power to give them their favourite " Black ey'd Susan ?'' Mr Incledon expressed the greatest wish to do so, but assured him that he was so exhausted by the efforts lie had gone through, that he felt it to be entirely out of his power to do it with justice either to the audience or himself. It was therefore given up, and Mr Incledon soon left the house. Then commenced a scene of noise and uproar, calling for the same song, although not announced in the bills ; which continued without interruption during the afterpiece, not a syllable of which was heard. Mr Simpson, the acting manager, came for ward after the farce began, and told the audi ence, as a reason why their demands could not be complied with, that Mr Incledon had left the house ( as was the f a c t ) ; and if he had not, that lie was rendered incapable of giving the song they wished to hear. This was, however, disregarded. After the clamour had continued long, and when it appeared to threaten a serious riot, and apprehensions were entertained of the consequences, application was made to the civil authority for assistance, in case it should be found necessary. In consequence some watchmen were soon introduced into the house, but Mr Price met them at the head of the first stairs, and enjoined them strictly not to meddle with any one without orders. On being assured directly aftertenvards from Justice Hopson that their presence was not necessary, and being requested to depart, they descended, and were leaving the house, when some of them seeing Mr Justice Hopson go up stairs, they followed him, and then some acts of personal violence took place, in consequence of an attempt of certain persons who undertook to hustle him, although he declared himself a police magistrate. The house Vvas then cleared. Wales, Warsaw, November 17. On the 14th, in the church of the Cross, a funeral service was celebrated for General Kosciusko.

PETITION OF THE REGICIDES. Several individual! detained in the fortress of Pierre- Chatel, in the department of the Ain, solicited from the justice of the Chamber the execution of the sentences that condemned them to banishment, finding their imprisonment more frightful than exile. The Committee had received some proofs, convincing them that the neighbouring Governments would drive from their territories the persons affected by those sentences, and proposed to have the petition referred to the Minister of the Interior, to devise the means of carrying the sentences into execution. M. D'Argenson—" I desire to draw your attention for a moment to this petition. I would first wish to have it read, and then that the Committee should render a detailed account of the proofs they have. obtained. To enable the Chamber to judge of the situation of those condemned persons, who ask as a favour the execution of their sentence, I shall read a passage from a letter written by one of them to one of his friends; " * I have no words to thank you for your pains ; I await the result of them with as mudi impatience as apprehension; for I am not as yet familiarised with the idea of a happiness so great as that which would follow a complete success.'" M. Laine, Minister of the Interior—" It may excite surprise that men condemned to banishment cannot undergo their sentence. I shall furnish some explanations on this subject. " It was in 1816 that a power the nearest to France made some difficulties about receiving the exiles who were sent to its territory. The agents, charged immediately with the execution of the decrees, not being able to ascertain the causes of this refusal, a number of the banished continued to be sent out of France. Pushed back on one frontier, the condemned were sent to another point, but soon the refusal became general, and in awaiting the issue of the negociations, which will undoubtedly terminate this difficulty, the expatriation of these men has been suspended. To separate them from other prisoners, choice had been made of an old chartreuse, changed into a fortress, containing a garrison. The prisoners enjoy there every comfort consistent with their situation. " This modification of the penalty was naturally indicated by the penal code. It changes into simple detention, banishment incurred by young men under 16 years of age; thus the olde condemned are treated with the same indulgence." The conclusions of the Committee are adopted without hesitation. The Chamber passed to the order of the day on the petitions of three individuals who required to marry their sisters- in- law— and also an alteration in the law on this subject— on the authority, as they say, of the Fathers of the Church, Deuteronomy, and Cornelius Nepos ! alight at the Mansion- house. The Royal party were also received by an escort of the 15th hussars. At their entrance into the city, the Mayor, Sheriffs, and Town Clerk, were introduced to her Majesty, and afterwards conducted the Royal visitors to the Mansion- house, where they arrived at half- past ten o'clock. The illustrious personages alighted, and were conducted into the banqueting- room by the worthy Mayor, where an elegant dejeune was served. The Mayor then welcomed her Majesty to the city, and expressed the gratitude of the citizens for being honoured with her presence. The Mayor, Sheriffs, the Town Clerk, the ladies of the Mayor, Sheriffs, and Aldermen Amis and Vaughan, were formally presented to the Queen, and had the honour of kissing her Majesty's hand. The Royal visitors and suite, on returning to their respective carriages, proceeded round the quays; viewed Redcliff Church, and passed over the bridge in Prince's Street, along the course o f t h e river, to the hot wells and Cliftdn. „ Post, alluding to the above- mentioned splendid monument, adds " It will be gratifying to the surviving friends of that worthy and upright man, lo learn, that the inscription which records his merits, of the most affectionate gratitude, is the production of the Noble Earl himself," EXECUTION OF FART IE, PEARSON, AND DEALTRY. Yesterday being the day appointed for the execution of the above- mentioned unhappy delinquents, a great concourse of persons assembled in the Old Bailey, to witness the last sad ceremonies. Vartie, whose fate has excited the liveliest commiseration, and for whom much interest has been exercised, was a young man of much promising talent. He was educated in Scotland, and had, by his own industry and application, made very considerable advancement in the dead languages. Vartie forged upon Messrs Williams and Co. of Birchin- lane, for L, 400, which sum he obtained, and proceeded to France, and had with the money entered himself at a college there to study the Hebrew language. He wrote upon the wall o f h i s cell the following lines :— Thou hapless wretch, whom justice calk T o breathe within these dreary walls; Know, guilty man, this very cell May be to thee the porch of hell. Thy'guilt confessed, by God forgiven, Mysterious change I it lead3 to heaven. Early in the morning the Reverend Ordinary attended them again, and administered to them religious consolation. Vartie and Pearson slept until five in the morning, but Dealtry was restless. Shortly after eight o'clock they were ushered to the fatal scaffold, and the awful preparations for their final exit being complete, they continued a few minutes in prayer and devotion, and at a quarter past eight o'clock, the Rev. Mr Cotton gave the fatal signal, and they were launched into eternity. Vartie died perfectly easy; but Dealtry and Pearson struggled for several moments after they were turned oft On Monday last the Emerald, Capt. Wheatley, sailed from the Nore with Colonel Herries and a complete establishment of officers and noncommissioned officers and men, to form a band for a regiment of cavalry, destined to join the insurgents in South America. The Emerald, among other articles, which probably consisted of warlike stores, had on board a considerable number of cases, containing rifle arms and pistols, and 200 barrels of gunpowder.

Letters from Leipsic complain that trade is very dull; coffee alone has risen in price, the ordinary sort now costing nine groschen a pound. We are not without apprehensions here, because several merchants leave us: some go to Magdeburg, some to Dresden; some establish houses at Magdeburg, others at Berlin or Hamburgh. The last accounts from Howick gave rather an unfavourable account of the state of Earl Grey's health. His Lordship has lately had some severe spasmodic attacks, particularly in the stomach and chest. The Earl of Lauderdale has been confined to his bed for several days with a bilious fever. His Lordship is at Warren's hotel. Lord Gage, a few days ago, sent as a present to the Prince Regent, a pike, which weighed twenty- eight pounds. This fresh water shark was taken in Maresfield mill pond, on his Lordship's Sussexiestate. Sir Francis. Burdett has been summoned to England. His last visits were to Malahide and Tinnehinch, to Mr Grattan and Mr Talbot. We regret to hear, thathissudden departure has been occasioned by the illness of Lady Burdett, at Bath. Sir Francis sailed on Saturday evening, in the packet for Holyhead; we hear that upwards of three hundred names had been subscribed for the public dinner which was to have been given him. The Chairman of the Meeting, we understand, was to have been Lord CI011- curry, the Vice- Chairman Lord Lismore. circumstances admit of it, the worthy Baronet has pledged himself to return.— Dublin paper.

The Palladium left Bengal on the 6th of July, and had on board a Government Gazette, announcing the gratifying tidings of a peace withi all the Mahratta powers. . It is said that a territory, producing a revenue of one million and a half, has been ceded to the Company, as an indemnity for the expences of the war, and that, the Marquis of Hastings had left Calcutta, to see the treaty executed.

They contain a petition to the Chamber of Deputies from several persons condemned to ba- I f | nishment in 1816, and since that period detained in prison, in consequence of the neighbouring powers declining to receive them into their territories. The purport of the petition ofthose prisoners is to crave the execution of their sentence, which, owing to particular circumstances, has beea converted from banishment into perpetual imprisonment. There can belittle difficulty, we- should • imagine, in arranging this matter. If the neighbouring powers are under any apprehensions as to their residence in their territories, America is. open to receive them. There is no law in that country debarring the entrance of any foreigner* and those, therefore, who, by a tacit compact of the European powers, are banished from the old, must of course take refuge in the new continent, where there are no obstacles to their residence. The Committee appointed to devise a proper law for continuing the restrictions on the press, made its report to the Chamber. In the law formerly proposed the author alone was mada responsible for the publication. It is now pro posed to omit the word alone, and thus to bring j two Governments must reciprocally suffer fori PA* THEON.-- The new burletta spectacle,' .. , , - L- 1-. c I Tn to founded on the well known story of Wallace, the printer and publisher under responsibility for ^ their inattention to the subject In answer t 0 | w a s p e r f o r m e d f o r t h e first t i m e * t h i s t h e a t r ( l an observation of Captain Felix the works which they publish, a9 well as the s, he admitted, Qn S a t u r d a y evening, and was received throughauthor. The most important alteration, however, suggested by the Committee is, that the censorship over the daily journals shall only be continued to 1818, in place of 1821. that in the merchant service deserters could be : out with most clamorous applause. The piece summarily arrested and delivered to the authori- j presented a variety of interesting incidents; the ty of their officers; but this case was expressly provided for by the statutary laws of both countries, from which the just inference was, that it Havannah papers liave been received to the c q u 1 ( } n o t e x e c u t e d i n t h e o t h e r c a s e wi t i 1 0 ut 21st October, which contain a long dispatch from D. Pascual de Linan, giving an account of the siege and capture of the fort of Sombrero, in which Mina had thrown himself with his corps. It appears, however, that this active leader, with most of his followers, had escaped previous to the assault which took place on the 19th, and which was successful, apparently from the inconsiderable force which remained in the fort.— All who were found in the fortress were butchered in cold blood, the women and children excepted ; and the Spanish General states this fact in his dispatch to the Viceroy, without any disguise or palliation. Mina seems to have retreated for the purpose of rallying and collecting his force; but of the amount of this force, or ofhis means for prosecuting farther operations, we are not sufficiently informed. Lately a boy was detected in a cotton mill in the suburbs of Glasgow, in which he was employed, carrying off a number of copes, which he had concealed in his clothes. He confessed that his mother had promised him a penny for each dozen of copes he should so carry hbine ; scenery is romantic, and the dresses and music but that she had not paid him punctually.

M. The following is an extract of a letter from St Mary's, dated November 1, and containing the latest intelligence respecting the state of affairs at Amelia Island: « ' Amelia i » still quiet, hut much is wanted to get things as they ought to be.— I Wenty- eight English officers ot the 18th regiment ( disbanded) have arrived from St Thomas's. Colonels, Captains, Cadets, icc. & c. are shewing themselves, but not a man to command. It is supposed the greatest part of General Aurey's cavalcade will go away southwardly. Annexed you'have what has just been sent from Amelia.— All the privateirs are fitting out, and most of the good, gone. No late arrivals." The article alluded to in the above, as having been sent from Amelia, is a copy of several resolutions of the Government of that island previous to the death of Governor Hubbard, according to which all persons volunteering their services for the conquest of St Augustine were to have a bounty in land, upon a scale increasing according to rank and time of service:— A private, for six months service, to haVe 320 acres; for cine months, 42e ; for 12 months, 800. Non- commissioned officers, for six months service, 430. Ensigns, for ditto, 1600. 2d Lieutenants, for ditto, 2000. 1st Lieutenants, for ditto, 2508. Captains, for ditto, 3X0. Majors,' for ditto, 4480. Lieutenant- Colontls, for ditto, 5760, Colonels for ditto, 7300. Brigadier- Generals, for ditto, 10,000. It appears, however, that Governor Hubbard's party continued to be so much dissatisfied with Aury and his followers, that there was no prospect of any attempt being made for the conquest of East Florida. An epidemic disorder had broken out at Amelia, and the deaths were five or six daily. We have received a New Orleans paper of the 30th September, which gives a more particular account than any which has yet reached this country, of the dispute between Captain Felix of the Beaver and the civil power at New Orleans. It appears that towards the end of August a person had gone on board the Beaver to sell tobacco to the crew ; he was detained as a deserter from the British navy. The collector of the port demanded his liberation, but without success. A writ of Habeas Corpus was granted by the Judge, the Honourable Joshua Lewis, addressed to Captain Felix, directing him to bring the man to be brought before him to be dealt with according to law. Captain Felix, instead of obeying the writ, wrote a letter to Judge Lewis; accompanied by a deposition of the individual in question. The letter called the anention of the Judge to the acknowledgment that \ he man was a British subject, and a deserter from his Majesty's sloop Bermuda; that he had never gone by the name of Lamb ( the name mentioned in the writ), but had been called Capel and Hamilton at New Orleans. Under these circumstances, he did not conceive that the man was illegally detained. If, however, a writ' describing the individual, and accompanied by such legal formalities, were executed, he would submit himself to the civil authority under some legislative provision. A letter from Boston ofthe 15th ult. states, that the Board of Commissioners for carrying into execution the 6th and- 7tll articles of I the treaty of Ghent, had held ttieir la^ t sitting at St Regis on the 29th of October, and then adjourned to meet at Hamilton on the 15th day of May next. It was understood, that so far as the survey of tbe boundaries had proceeded, no difference whatever had arisen between the Commissioners of the two countries. The gale at New Orleans appears to have done more damage than was at first suspected. We have before us an account of eight or ten vessels" who have suffered more or less by it. The ship General Knox foundered at sea, but the dollars on board ( about 30,000) were saved in her three boats. A letter is posted at Lloyd's this afternoon, which is dated Rio Janeiro, the 1st October, stating, that the blockading squadron at Valparaiso had set sail for Lima. The General Paraguay, from Havannah, was taken, on the 9th October, off Cape Spartel, by the privateer General San Martin, which had previously captured the Belize from Havannah, and the I- Iermoza Maria, from Laguira. We have seen recent advices from Barbadoes, by which we are sorry to learn, that intelligence had reached that colony that the island of Trinidad was extremely unhealthy. The colonial Parliament of Barbadoes having expired before the Committee appointed to inquire into the origin ofthe late insurrection had completed the investigation, a new Committee had therefore been nominated, who met on the 9th September last, in order that a correct and full account may be transmitted to this Government, and to solicit compensation for the unfortunate sufferers by that event. We have this day obtained the following from the Caraccas: — crowded^ .,, . . On Thursday last, the Senate of the University of Glasgow conferred the degree of D. D. on ihe Rev.

In viewing the joy manifested by the people at his marriage, and that of bis Serene Highness the Infant Don " Carlos, his august brother, he could not help casting: an eye around bis throne, beholding his beloved vassals, and consecrating some cares to the relief of every one, and to the happiness ef all. He has reflected on your misfortunes, and he forthwith adopted the resolution to make them cease, and to bind his American children, by new ties of love, to their Country, to the great Spanish monarch. " An indulto, which comprehends within its circle all those concerned in the present insurrection, either prosecuted or not prosecuted, absent or present, a general oblivion; a period of the evils which have banished the tranquillity from your soil, is what is published this day in the name of the most beloved and most merciful of monarchs." ( t h e General proceeds to state his duty in announcing this promise of the King, as a proof of the King's desire to promote the happiness of the people of South An-. erica. He adverts to the numerous proclamations of pardon issued by him, which would prevent the effusi in of blood. Tbe present proclamation, he says, appears at a time when fresh warriors bave arrived from the mother country, which finds no obstacle in its way, and be calls upon the people not to be led away by chimerical ideas of liberty held out to them, but to look to their families.) " Inhabitants of every part of this Continent!— Rest assured that I will contribute to promote a general reconciliation, and that I will nor lose sight of this important end, that every one may enjoy the blessings to_ which the mercy of the King gives them access; [ shall support the civil authorities; 1 shall cause the system of the laws to be respect ed; in a word, I shall do all in my power to achieve a general pacification.

" Head- quarters, Caraccas, Sept. 21. 1817." Mr Kostoff, a Russian Consul at Philadelphia, has given notice, that the Emperor Alexander had enjoined such measures to be adopted as were calculated to preserve the coasts and ports of the Baltic and the White Sea from the introduction of epidemic diseases prevalent in the United States and other situations. The preservation of the Baltic ports, the Consul states, ii consigned to the quarantines established in Den mark and Sweden.

The man having come voluntarily on board, and having acknowledged himself a British deserter, he should have acted contrary to his express and posicive instructions if he did not detain him. Upon the receipt of this letter the Judge issued a writ of attachment, the execution of which, by the deputy Sheriff, was resisted by Captain Felix, who threatened he would order his crew to fire if the Sheriff persisted in his efforts. The Beaver then got under weigh to proceed to sea, but before she fell down so far as fort St Philip, the commandant, Major Humphry, had received by express the process against Captain Felix, aod he therefore informed the British officer he must submit to the civil authority, or he would be compelled to do so; Capt. Felix then surrendered himself, and was conveyed back a prisoner to New Orleans, where it was intimated to him, that he should be detained in custody until the supposed deserter was made forthcoming. The seaman was accordingly sent for, brought back, and after mature deliberation discharged. Captain Felix having pleaded his ignorance of legal proceedings, and the orders of his commanding officer, and having also manifested much regret for what had occurred, was likewise discharged. The Judge intimated to Captain Felix that there was no law nor treaty between the two Governments applicable to the case that had occurred ; and that, under these circumstances, the Norway, are principally designed for the ship; bound to the ports of the White Sea* On the authority of private letters from Paris it has been asserted, that the two French Mini sters, Laine and Caze, have been withdrawn from their offices. This statement is not only contradicted by the Paris papers, but also by the private letters, among which is one from the first mentioned of these persons, by the tenor of which, as far at least as it respects him, the story ; s totally unfounded. The Hamburgh mail which arrived this morning brings intelligence from Petersburg!!, that the bridge there had been carried away by the ice.

Mackenzie of Gairloch, Lord Lieutenaut of Ross- shire, in the Chair, sentenced several persons, convicted of illicit distillation, to pay a fine of L. 20, or imprisonment for three months, in the event of their' inability to pay; the Justices having resolved to exercise the utmost rigour in every case of this nefarious traffic, which shall hereafter come under their cognizance. Colonel J. Chisholm, lately returned from his government of Goree, has given ten guineas to the Infirmary, and a like sum to the Fortrose Academy. We are concerned to state, that a merchant in Cromarty, Mr B , committed suicide on Saturday ( night. What led him to this unhappy step we have not learned. We are sorry to state, that tn a casual dispute between some gentlemen, in the house of Cameron, vintner at Rothiemurchus, on the 20th of October last, the landlord interfered, and by some unlucky stroke, inflicted a wound, which we regret to learn, terminated in the death of Ensign Robertson, one o f t h e party. On the 2d instant Cameron was committed for trial at the ensuing Circuit. In consequence of some expressions used by Mr O'Connell at the late Catholic meeting in Dublin, Mr Leslie Foster, being refused any explanation, demanded a meeting. Mr O'Connell was willing to comply with the demand ; but as he had given recognizances, to the amount of L. 10,000, on account of the dispute with Mr Peele, he wished these to be removed before giving the satisfaction required. As Mr Leslie Foster, however, would not interfere with the Attorney- General on this subject, it was subsequently fixed that the parties should, within a fortnight, proceed for the Continent. But in the end the voyage was obviated by Mr O'Connell's saying that his remarks merely applied to the public conduct of Mr Leslie Fosier. Owing to the thick fog of Thursday, the luggage steam boat Industry tan on shore on the Long Dyke between Dumbarton and Dunglass Part of the cargo, consisting of rum, sugar, ashes, See. is damaged or lost. Another accident, among the many which are occasioned by machinery, occurred at Arbroath on Saturday se'ennight. A girl employed at one of the spinning- mills there, was caught hold of by one ofthe shafts; and, before she could be extricated, her body was very severely mangled. She is still alive; but little hopes are entertained of her recovery. ' On Thursday week, a melancholy accident took place at Cardross, Dumbartonshire. Mr John Killoch, with a horse and cart, in which was his wife, had come from the farm of Townhead to the carding mill at Cardross, and on his arrival went into the mill, leaving Mrs Killoch in the cart, at a short distance. During his absence the horse furiously broke loose, and rushing forward, plunged directly on the mill wheel, and was, with the cart, literally dashed to pieces. The woman was saved by the greatest exertions, after having several of her ibs broken. AYR, Dec. 11.— At an overflowing meeting of the Burgesses and Guild Brethren of the burgh, held in the Court- house last evening, the answer of the Magistrates and Council to the petition of ihe Burgesses was taken under consideration, and, after considerable discussion, declared unsatisfactory, and as having a tendency to draw tbe minds of the Burgesses from pursuing the object of reform. Resolutions were then formed by the Burgesse?, to persevere with moderation, but without deviation, in their efforts " to obtain an alteration of the set, or constitution of the Burgh, and particularly, an alteration ofthe manner of electing the Magistrates and Town Council, so as to confer on each of tbe Burges ses and Guild Brethren a vote in each election," and a Committee of fifteen was appointed and authorised to use every lawful measure to obtain this alteration. These proceedings were adopt ed by the meeting, witii the exception of only two voices. A counter resolution, which had for its object delay, until the Magistrates had an opportunity of communicating with other burghs on the subject, was moved and seconded, but, en the vote being put, it was espoused , by no other member of the meeting.

Mrs Salmon made her a'pp Jrauce here on this occasion ; in the course of the evening she sung, " Angels ever bright and fair," " In sweetest harmony they lived," and ( t Holy, holy," as alio in the funeral anthem, performed in memory of hef- late Royal Hig mess, and in the duet " Hear my prayer," with Mr Swift. In this lady's singing, it is not merely the extraordinary flexibility of voice in which, she has no equal, it is the expression, the soul, she breathes into the melody, making it speak to the feelings and the fancy, which delights. The enthusiastic plaudits with which she was greeted gave ample testimony, of the feeling which she h id excited.

Mr Newbery, by his affidavit, and by regular deeds and assignments, has proved incontestibly his property fn these Medicines, and his possession of the original recipes for compounding them, under Dr James's hand, of which hewas the sole depository. ' The evideiice too of Dr - lar/ ies himself, in an affidavit, published in 1777,- has snewii, that he admitted Mr Newbury to be present with him- at the process of making his Fever Pmv< er ic— the only person now living who can claim' that advantage. ' The i- l- nt- rv of the Powder p- repared by Mr Newbery, and that by Dr James,, is also- ascertained by the chi trnc d analysis of Mr Professor Brtinde, and Mr. Accum, and confirflied by the marked sanction given to Mr Newbery'S preparation by the most re- pectable public bodies. who. e members are eminently qualified to judge of its authenticity, antl whose extensive orders' he continues- to supply. From these facts, which cannot be perverted by sophistry,, the public will be ct* iiviticed, that the asstihion of Mf R. G. G.

S7tli Nov, 1817, MISS M'AVOT. Mr Sanders's pamphlet on the subject of this celebrated personage has just appeared, and will probably be thought the last, which this singular controversy can ever require. It is written in a style of frankness, spirit, and intelligence, which is likely to command the attention of its readers in an eminent degree. The object of the author is to establish three principal points; first, that Miss M'Avoy is not blind ; secondly, that deceptive arts have been used in the exhibitions of her wonderful powers; and thirdly, that other persons, blinded by the same proccss used in her case, have been in that state able to perform the same experiments. If these propositions are demonstrated, and we apprehend that in the opinion of most persons tliev will be thought at 1 a- t very probable, the whole mystery of the miracle is at once unfolded. We could present a number of extracts from the pamphlet, which would serve to confirm this position, and would | " Genera! Post Office, Nov. 26.1817.

Tbe Society afterwards proceeded to the choice of a council and officers for the year ensuing, when, on examining the lists, it appeared that the following gentlemen were elected of the old council:— The Right Honourable Sir Joseph Banks, Bart.

D.— Sir Everard Home, Bart.— Samuel Lysons, colours by rubbing her fingers upon the objects presented. Approaching close, I knelt at the side of her chair, and watched with great attention the pupil of her eye, which could not be accurately observed by a person ttanding. I saw her several times depress it, till she caught a glimpse of the objects; soon after this, goldbeater's skin was applied. I remained at her side, and looking in at the corner of her eye, to which pirt the covering had not closely adhered, I dis- ; E « q George Earl of Morton— John Pond, Esq.

In the course of the performance, it ] sometimes increased, and » ometimes diminished; laid in had been exhausted some weeks previous to their arrival at Gaspee, when the master then commenced to make his fortune upon tlieir miseries, by charging them at the most extravagant rate for every pound of bread, and the fresh fish that could be occasionally caught in like manner, not permitting them to catch any themselves.— A Mr O'Hara, at Gaspee, was a true and generous friend to these poor creatures, by compelling the master to procure a vessel t ® take 40 of them to Quebec; 20 of them, who, from their reduced state, were landed and left in the woods at Gaspee, and the remaining passengers on board between 50 and 60,| were furnished by Mr O'Hara with three days provisions, allowing them 48 hours to get to this island ; and in a measure to end their sufferings, they were driven ashore at New London where they were ceived by the inhabitants with the greatest humanity, who lodged and fed them, and gave them every comfort within their power. One instance ought to be mentioned, viz One of the families on board consisted of husband and wife, with 10 children; the father was unable to pay for two of his children ( boys), but in consideration of the father having paid for all the rest, the The following is an account of a successful defence performed by Captain M'Glasban, of the brig Margaret, of Greenock, against a pirate, on the 13th October, the day after leaving St Thomas's:— " At niue P. M. a cutter rigged vessel came bearing down from windward, antl hailed us, ordering us to heave to, at same time crossing our stern; on our demanding who he was, he immediately fired on board of us, carrying away part of our running rigging, again bailing and ordering us instantly to send our boat on board. Being rather unprepared to make resistance so unexpectedly, the boat was lowered down, and the master proceeded alongside with his papers, and was questioned concerning his cargo, and if he bad not a quantity of dollars on board ; and was extremely anxious for information regarding American vessels, apparently wishing to fall in with them. Wishing to know what he was, Captain M'G. inquired if he was not an Independent privateer; he bluntly, and with much hesitation answered, Yes; ordering him on board again, and to lay till morning, when he would board him.

NAVAL STORES— There is little variation in Rough Turpentine; tbe purchases of Spirits are very limited.— Ill Tar, Pitch, and Rosin, there is no variation. OIL— The prices of Wbale Oil advanced last week a shade higher, but a heavy market. Seed Oils are a shade lower, and from the present, limited demand, a further decline is at - ticlpated. HEMP, FLAX, and TALI. OW.— There have beer, e r e s VF purchases of Tallow, chiefly, we believe, taken on' ape. u „ tion; the prices have advanced rapidly. Wben the reviv demand appeared on Saturday and yesterday, it was reported that private accounts had been received, sta- ing that the Baltic had been closed by the ice, and that no farrher importations could be expected this season; this, however is not confirmed by the letters through Holland received this morning; we believe the report is without any foundation — One great reason of the advance on Tallow is, that nia- iv Houses who contracted to deliver large parcels at cer tain prices are unable to fulfil the contract without purcliasT ing extensive parcels in this market; and as the holders are • ware of this, and many ot them being themselves t'le persons to whom tbe Tallow was contracted to he delivered rctused to sell except at very high prices; 75,. is to- d., y realised for Yellow Candle fallow.

In i hat state of confusion he wandered in search of some known object from which lie might direct his future steps. Chance at last brought the lost shepherd within sight of what i e supposed to be a very large mansion, which he did not remember ever to have seen before; but, on his entering this visionary castle, to inquire bis way home, lie found it inhabited by bis own family. It was nothing more than his own cottage. But bis organ of sight had so far misled his mental faculties, that some little time elapsed before he could be convinced that he saw real objects. Instances of the same kind of illusion, though not to the same degree, are not unfrequentin those mountainous regions. From these effects of vision it is evident that the pupil and the picture of an object within the eye increase at the same time.

To this I assented, observing, at the same time, that I was sure she could see, and that the goggles were not satisfactory blinds In consequence of Dr Jardine's differing in opinion, I requested they might be fixed upon myself; they were sent for, brought into the kitchen, antl applied by Dr Jardine, Mr Byivater, and Mr Thurmenu, with as much care as possible; the moment a watch was presented, I told the hour. The goggles were then taken off, and put on a second time, with still greater care. A small watch was then produced, and I observed, " This winds up on the face, but I cannot tell you immediately what the hour is;" however, in a short time, I succeeded. Finding I could still see, tbe experiment was again tried, the goggles were then fixed in a very tight and oppressive manner, so much so, that I could not breathe through my nostrils, a thing indispensable to Miss M'Avoy. I then declared the power was gone, or in other words, that I was completely blindfolded." " At ihe close Of the experiments, another person present expressed an opinion that Miss M'Avoy could see; upon which Dr Renwick proposed that the gold- beater's skin and the adhesive plaster should be applied to that person's eyes, which was assented to, and uncommon pains were taken by Dr R. in placing them, so as to prevent all possibility of seeing. When fixing them, Dr R. said, " Now close your eyelids," to which an answer was returned by some one, " You were not so particular with Miss M'Avoy." However the request was complied with, and when thebandages were properly placed, a watch was presented, and the hoar mas immediately pronounced ; a glove was given, and the colour u- ri't Id; a letter was produced, which teas read with great facility, although tlie writing was very small." NEWSPAPERS. The following documents respecting tbe circulation of newspapers, are extracted from the Dublin Evening Post. TO ALL SURVEYORS A N D DEPUTY P 0 S T - M A S T E R S. " The Postmasters- General find, with great concern, notwithstanding the repeated orders which have been issued to tbeir deputies, respecting newspapers, and the arrangements which they have from time to time made to secure their punctual dispatch from hencc, that the editors of public prints have reason to comjilain of the irregular delivery and suppression of them. Wiietln r such failure is attributable to the persons intrusted by the editors to bring their papers to this office, whether it can be justly brought in charge against Depu y Postmastcrs. orascribcd toany persons connected with them, who, from unjustifisblejciiriosity, open and mislay public prints, or Whether with or without permission from their owners, they suffer persons to have access to their offices, and to open, read, or take thtm away, either for tlieir own u « e, or for the alleged purpose of delivering the prints to the subscribers, to whom they may be addressed, the Postmasters General cannot with certainty determine ; hut they consider it to be tbeir imperative duty to establish the strictest regulations to guard agiinst the r . petition of an evil which, from numerous complaints, it is evident must exist to a great de gree. A newspaper once confided to the Post Office, is as sacred, in the eyes of the Postmasters General, as | a letter, and it cannot be purloined, tampered with, or abused, without violatiog the solemn obligation which every person, intrusted with the public correspondence, is bound by. Although newspapers do not yield postage, ilie^ r uninterrupted circulation is immediately connected with the privilege of Parliament, and, while they contribute largely to the finances of the country, through another branch of the revenue, the Stamp Office, the Postmasters- General are not unmindful that the property thus contributing to the state belongs to individuals, whose interest cannot be infringed upon, without les selling the public revenue. The Postmisters- Gcneral, therefore, desire, from henceforth, « 1st, That where a postmaster, on opening hi9 mail, « hal! find that any paper which he thinks should have reached his offi-: e has not arrived, he will, by l- tter, acquaint the Secretary with the circumstance, and the name of the subscriber whose piper may appear to be missing. " 2d, No paper is to be delivered but to the subscriber, or to his mcHsenger and servant, known to be such. <> 3d, That under no pretence, either with or without the consent of a subscriber, shall a deputy open and read a newspaper, previous to its being delivered to the owner, and, of course, from under his official care. If subscribers art wil ling that pbstmasters should have the benefit of reading their papers, it must be atter, not while they have official custody of them. " 4th, That no deputy will, under any authority, either w. Tten or verbal, permit any paper to be opened and read by any person but the subscriber to whom it is addressed. If subscribers are willing to permit persons to read their paper, it must be after tbe Post Office has discharged its duty in delivering it to themselves or their messenger, known to be such. Post Offices must not be converted into reading- rooms. Such a practice, while it must add to, if not create, the very evil complained of, affords tbe same advantages with subscribers to persons who thereby contribute nothing either to the Post office, the Stamp Office, or the editor. Deputy- Postmasters must not be agents in acts which have a direct tendency to injure one branch of the public revenue, and by curtailing tbe circulation of newspipers, interfere with the interest of the press. " By command, EDWARD S. LEES. Sec. « General Post OiSce, Nov, 24, 1817, in question). After sailing from Dublin, they bad occasion to call at a distant port, where the master met with two persons who wished to take their passage at L. 5 each; to accommodate these men, the Captain landed the two boys, contrary to the most solemn intreaties of their parents, and sailed, leaving the boys on the wide world. The mother died shortly after on the passage with grief and distraction, and one of the children. Several affidavits have been made respecting the Captain's conduct, and sent to his Excellency the Lieutenant- Governor at Quebec, who I have no doubt, will take proper means to bring the Captain to justice." A COMET— On the 1st ult. about seven o'clock in the evening, Dr Olbers, at Bremen, discovered a comet in the western shoulder of the Ser pent, between the star K. and that of No. 104, according to the Astronomer Bode. The comet is small but brilliant, particularly towards the centre. It can only be discovered by means of a telescope ; at 14 minutes past seven mean time its ascension was 253 deg. min.; its rotatory motion was in the direction of east and west. sengers, we resolved to defend the vessel with our lives, being convinced that they were determined pirates. Got our guns in order, when she came up alongside of us in the morning, under Ffench colours, and again fired into us, hauling down his French, and hoisting a red flag ( the signal we supposed for boarding, when we gave him snch a reception as he little expected, from a welldirected fire from our two 9- pounders, which were loaded close up to their muzzles with round antl grape and coopers rivet*; soon after which nearly cleared his deck of all the men. On our cheering him in the smoke, he instantly dropped the peak ofhis mainsail, wore round, and made the best of his way towards the land. We made sail after him, still firing into him, but from his superior sailing, he soon distanced us, or we should have captured him, as only three men appeared on deck, the remainder killed or wounded. She was a square- sterned cutter rigged vessel, bad a long gun mounted on her forecastle, manned with at least 25 men, Spaniards, Dutch, and Blacks, all well armed; painted black with a white moulding, white bottom, and a trunk upon deck similar to what American s. d. i. d.

INVERNESS— DEC. 12. EPITAPH ON A NEWFOUNDLAND Doo.— The following inscription was copied from a tablet, pilot- boats" usually bad, and about 40 tons." erected by Lord Byron, in the gardens at Newstead Abbey, and preceded his well- known " Lines to the Memory of a Newfoundland d o g . /— " Near this spot Are deposited the remains of one Who possessed beauty without vanity, Strength without insolence, Courage without ferocity, And all the virtues of man without his vices : This praise, which would be unmeaning Battery, If inscribed over human ashes, Is but a just tribute to tbe memory of Boatswain, a dog, Who was horn in Newfoundland, May 1808, And died at New » tead, Nov. 18. 1813." =£ 240,360 The amount for the three years, to end on the 31st January 1818, was . . . . 239,480 STATISTICS. The aggregate population of the world, according to a recent calculation, is— in millions, 175 Christians, nine Jews, 160 Mahometans, and 656 Heathens 1— Total one thousand millions. The population and extent of Great Britain and Ireland ( so far as it can be ascertained) is as follows, viz.— The population of England is— nine millions nine hundred thousand ; Wales, six hundred and thirty thousand ; Scotland, one million eight hundred and fifty thousand; Ireland, four millions— Total, sixteen millions three hundred and eighty thousand. In its extent, England comprehends— in acres ; thirty- four millions; Wales, five millions; Scotland, twenty one millions; and Ireland, twenty one millions.— Total eighty- one millions. In England, there are 186 persons to every square mile— in Wales, 80; in Scotland, 56; in Ireland, 122. The Chinese empire comprehends nearly eight hundred and thirty- one millions of acres; the inhabitants amount to three hundred and thirtythree millions, which gives 256 persons to every square mile: full one half more, in proportion, than the population of England. ANTIQUITIES.— As some workmen were forming a small quay, a few days ago, at Carnarvon, they discovered the remains of an immense wooden bridge, formed of oak, buried several feet in the sand, and extending over the river Seient. One beam, which was got up, measured upwards of fifty feet in length. This bridge appears to have formed originally a communication between Segontium and Coed- Helen summer- house, in all COMMERCE, AGRICULTURE, MARKETS, Vc It is not without reason that the Ministerial papers congratulate the country on the revival of trade. A very considerable improvement has already been experienced; and the advance of spring promises greatly to accelerate the demand. The free trade with India is likely to be very advantageous to our manufactures. Not only arc cxportations made to the Company's possession of sewed muslins, hut richly embroidered silk shawls are sent out to rival those of Cashmere ; and the excellence of our machinery bids fair to enable us to outdo the natives in every branch of the cotton manufacture.. It is worth noticing, that considerable quantities of pullicates and other goods are now exported to the black states in St Domingo.— Glasgow Chronicle. Tbe following remarkable instance of vegetable fecundity was last week ascertained by Mr Relph, Scotch Street, Carlisle :— On a dunghill, at his farm at Etterby, a potatoe bad taken root, and on clearing away the soil from about the stem, not fewer than 57 fine potatoes were taken up, the produce of one parent potatoe, which, contrary to the usual ord r of nature, did not appear to be decayed, notwithstanding its having given birth and nutriment to so numerous a progeny. Of these potatoes 12 weighed Slbs.; tbe weight of the whole was 20| lbs; and so close was their growth, that the superficies of the whole might have been covered by a Car lisle peck measure. It may be fit to notice, that these potatoes were the London Duns, a species nowi9C remarkable for being prolific Good saddle and harness horses are now much wanted throughout Great Britain, and are found to be a scarce animal. There are dealers, at present, searching every part in the north of England for these animals, who are giving from 1 ,. 50 to I.. 150 each, very currently; few of them can obtain the number wanted. At Darlington market, on Monday last, there was a fair E D I N B U R G H N E W S C O N T I N U E D . The case of the poor man found hanged opposite tbe Broonielaw appears to be very distressing in every circumstance. The body lay in the Gorbals police office till Saturday, when it was interred in the burying ground in the vicinity. About an hour before the burial, a decent looking young woman, with a child in her arms, who had come from Paisley, came forward, in consequence of the paragraph formerly inserted, and recognized the body for that of her husband. The feelings of the poor unfortunate young woman were extremely overcome, as „ „ . . •>„ , „„, i:.„, i ci,„ .. r. j maritet, ivionoay lait, may easily be credited.

We understand that the Burgher congregation dred yards. been in a very low state of mind ever since, Wednesday morning he left his own house in John Street, Paisley, without any money in his pocket, saying to his wife that he intended to go to Glasgow to meet his late employer, that he might obtain payment from him of several p o u n d s ; and that if Ilis m a s t e r did not a t t e n d purchases for the week exceed 2200 pac'kages- 1200 Surats at Glasgow, that he would go in search of him,: ™ " resr, ld at 1 3*'' t o I6J; = .40° Be, n K gals '° i d ' t o , 1 2 d - b o th , .

It is understood that the poor man called at a house in High Street, but lie did not find his master, and the disappointment seems to have been the occasion of his death. When it was suggested to the poor woman to take the corpse to Paisley, she said, " I cannot pay for it. I have no money. I am unable to defray even the expence of carrying it to Paisley." By some humane individuals a small sum of money was collected and given to the afflicted widow. The anniversary of Scotland's tutelary saint was celebrated on Monday by the Scots Greys quartered in Carlisle, in a very jovial manner.— The saint was personified by a man on horseback, with venerable locks and beard, and clothed in primitive attire. Attended by a band of music, and a number of true chicls of Caledonia, he paraded the streets at intervals throughout the day, nar did the boisterous mirth ofhis light hearted companions seem at all to discompose his venerable countenance. On the contrary, he suffered himself to be led wherever they chose ; and the frequent libations that were made to Bacchus must have ruffled the nerves of saint as well as sinner. It is but justice to say, that the soldiers conducted themselves in the most proper manner; they were both " merry and wise." D U M F U I E S , Dec. 9 Last Thursday was observed throughout the bounds of the Synod of Dumfries, as a day of public thanksgiving for the harvest, which has, we believe, been quite as abundant in this county as in any other districts of Scotland.

The wholesale grocers were considerable purchasers for the home trade, and showed a disposition to purchase; the refiners were also attracted by the great depression in the prices, and the anticipation of a revival in the demand aj the spring shipping season approaches. In Refimdl goods Jthe business done was not so extensive as preceding weeks, and one or two parcels were purchased at prices a shade lower, but there was no general depression ; double Loaves and crushed Sugars were inquired after for spring shipments, and the refiners continue confident that prices will not materially declinc, as there is a request for the Mediterranean, and in a few weeks the purchases in anticipation of the usual spring exports will commence. Molasses continue heavy and declining. For Foreign Sugars there were no inquiries last week. COFFEE.— There was much interest excited by the public sale of Thursday being considerable as to quantity, and being brought forward at a dull season ot the year, when all export has nearly ceased; it was anticipated that the whole would be withdrasvn, or sold at very reduced rates; the holders, however, still continue so sanguine that prices will r ite high in the spring, that th y are indifferent as to effecting sales at present; the purchasers at tile public sale came forward freely ; it con- • isted of 441 casks and 418 bags of Coffee, the whole were sold; the Jamaica descriptions at the late prices; the Dutch 2s. to 3s. higher, being in great demand for the home trade; the St Domingo sold 2s. lower— ordinary Jamaica 87s.; good ordinary K9s. 6d to 91*.; tine ordinary 91s fid. to 92s.; middling 96s.; good middling 10ns. 6d ; good ordinary Dutch 92s.; fine ordinary 94s. fid.; middling 97s- 6d.; good middling 99s. 6d. to 102s; 77 casks good ordinary St Domingo sold at 92s. IRISH PROVISIONS, & c.— Prime Pork continues in good demand; the importations of prime Beef have been very extensive ; the prices however continued to rate high. Bacon is still very heavy, and the consumption, as usual at this season, very trivial. The supplies of Butter continue inadequate to the demand; the market has in conscquence been rather brisk.
