GLEANINGS REPORT OF THE LIVERPOOL, COMMITTEE. —The select committee of the House ot Commons ap- pointed to inquire into the matters complained of in the petition of certain electors of Liverpool have made their report. It recites the proceedings at elections, as well for members as magistrates, for that borough from 1832 to 1833, and concludes —" Your committee, therefore, having duly weighed and considered the evidence laid before them in support of that petition, as well as on the part of the defence, feel themselves in duty called upon to recommend to your hon. house to introduce a bill to re- strict the franchises, and to alter the whole system of elections in that borough, as well for members to sit in Parliament as for the municipal officers; and that you will adopt such measures as, under the circumstances, may appear to your hon. house best suited to obtain the desired purity of elections. Your committee cannot con- clude this report without directing the attention of your hon. house to the conduct of freemen in a better class of life and in good circumstances, who have shown fully as much readiness to take bribei as the poorest and most des- titute of their fellow burgesses." THE POST OFFICE.—Saturday a meeting was held at the North and South American Coffee-house, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament on the subject of certain (alleged) abuses in the General Post Office. Mr. Wallace, M.P. for Glasgow, attended, and several mercantile and professional gentlemen were present. This being intended only as preliminary to a more public meeting, the discussion was ra-lier of a desultory cha- racter. The principal grievance complained of is the authority which the Post Office has lately assumed of opening parcels sent by mail, in order to ascertain whether letters be contained therein; and it was stated that, in some instances, even letters had been opened. It was also stated that the Post Office had recently violated an en- gagement with the public relative to the transmission of foreign letters. Formerly the charge (exclusive of inland postage) was sixpence on each letter forwarded to foreign countries. By a compact with the Post Office this charge was increased to cightpence, on an express understanding that the merchants in this country should enjoy certain advantages on home deliveries. This continued without interruption foreighteen years, but was lately discontinued though there was no reduction made in respect to the charge for out-delivery of foreign letters. Letters were received from Glasgow and other places, complaining of various annoyances, and objecting to the powers enjoyed by the clerks of the roads in the enforcement of fees. The practice of opening solicitors' parcels formed another ground of complaint, and was very warmly deprecated. The draught of a petition to parliament, embodying the various objections, was reaJ, and will he submi tfed to the approval of a public meeting to beholden this week. BARNABA ORIANI.—A monument is about to be erected to the memory of Barnaba Oriani, the most cele- brated of the Italian mathematicians and astronomers. It was he who first determined the orbit of Uranus, and the variations of the new planets. He also improved the theory of astronomical refractions, and published a very learned tieatise on spherical trigonometry. His scientific works gained him the esteem of all learned men in Europe he was a member of many academies. By him the Alilan Observatory has acquired so much celebrity. Oriani was also eminent for his moral qualities and closad his illustrious career by bequeathing all his pro. perty to the promotion of science* and to the relief of indigence.-Pai,is Paper. AN ANIMATED PitFACHEit.-A short time ago, as the Curate of A Fromanches, near Bayeux, in Normandy, who is of remarkable rotundity, was preach. iug at Asnelles, he became so animated with his zeal, and urged his doctrine with such force of action, that he first shook the pulpit from its base, and then overbalancing it wiih his weight, fell prone amongst his auditors, doing their bodies as much evil as he was anxious to do good to iheir souls. A WATEU-SPOUT. Extract of a letter from Naples, dated the 10th ult. On the 81h, abouteight o'clock in the morning, a waterspout was formed off the Point of Pausilippo, which kept running along the coast in an irregular line, but appr<,8C'n8 8radually in- creasing rapidity towards the la"^ °.n which't finally burst. During its course upon the sea it assumed various forms; at first it was in the shape of an inverted cone, it next divided into two eqllsl portions, and afterwards took a cylindrical form. All round it, the sea was as if it were boiling, the foam rising several palms. It da- maged several boats, and carried away the roof of a new building at the Point of the Mole; at carried away all the furniture which was in the fooms, and the Persian shutters of the surrounding houses, which were huiled to an immense distance. A mason was killed, and two of his men were severely injured by the fall of the roof; but we have not heard of any other accident. It however, afforded a remarkable instance of the frequently occurring union between the serious and the lu.ticrous. Some dealers in oranges, who were selling their mer- chandise in the market, were suddenly amazed by seeing two large basketfuls carried up into the clouds, but their astonishment could not exceed that of a young lady, who being upon the terrace of a house, standing at a great elevation, found herself enveloped in a shower of golden fruit, giving her reason, it' romantically disposed, to imagine that Jove had mistaken her for his beloved Dan as." ANTIQUITIES.—In addition to what was stated in our paper of the 12tli instant, respecting the dis- covery of an ancient cemetery or burial place on the southern part of the promontory of Hartlepool, we are now enabled to give the following particulars.—The mo- numental or head stones discovered with the skeletons, which were all found lying from north to south, are principally cut out of the hard compact lime stone of the place, and have different shaped crosses neatly carved upon them, some of which are accompanied by inscrip- tions in the pare Runic characters others in the Dano- Runic, or Runic vt a later date. The circumstance of the Danes having, about the year 800 ravaged se- vcral places of note in the north of England, as well as Hartlepool, in which place there was then a religoui es- tablishment, founded about the year 610, has led to the belief that the above has been either the burial-place of such monastery, or that of the Danish chieftains who fell in war which latter aupposition is strongly cor- roborated by the appearance of the stones, two of which have a short Runic inscription in well defined characters, bearing no resemblance to any Latin inscription in^Runic characters, which are of a very rare occurrence besides, the conversion of the Saxons to Christianity in the 7th century banished in a great degree the common use of these characteis, which were esteemed, according to the superstitious notions of the time, necromantic and unhal- lowed. In our next week's paper we intend to present to the learned world fac-similes of, two of these monumentrl stone3, engraved on wood, with some accompanying re- marks. In the mean time we must be permitted to observe, that from the circumstance of these stones having been much scattered and got into different hands, the opportu- nity of comparing them together has been lost to the public and we should strongly recommend that in the further progress of excavation at Hartlepool, any monu- ments tending to throw a light on the ancient history of that interesting and now daily improving place, should be carefully preserved and kept together.-Durham Adver- tiser.

RIUVA IE CORRESPONDENCE. WARSAW, JULY 6. It is not easy to conceive anything more deplorable than the penalty wlich this country has paid for lending !tseif to ihe ambition of a few needy adventurers, and the intrigues of the French Cabinet. I do not hazard the assertion inconsiderately, or from a mere glance at the out. ward face of things; but will at once place you in a situation to form a judgment for yourself, by stating succinctly what I have collected, in a detailed shape, from one of the most intelligent individuals in this town. The late attempt to revolutionize Poland has not been attended with the sacrifice of less than 360,000 souls, and, with them, of the yearly produce of their industry, which cannot be estimated at a sum short of 3,000,0001. Do. mestic consumption has naturally suffered in the same proportion and the state itself is a loser of certainly not less than nearly 600,0001. per annum of income: nor can the loss occasioned by the depreciation of state paper be taken at less than 1,400,0001. The deterioration in the value of house property is equal to four millions sterling at least; and it may be safely inferred, that the owners of landed property must have suffered in a far more dreadful proportion. The manufac ure of woollen cloths alone has fallen off nearly one million in yearly production; the wretched being3, who but lately derived a comfortable subsistence from this branch of industry, have been stripped of their earnings to the extent of nearly three hundred thousand pounds, whilst a deficiency in the sale of wools, equal to four hundred thousand pounds annually, has consequently- ensued. The farmer and grazier have experienced a loss in cattle, which may reasonably be estimhted at seven hundred thousand pounds, independently of a loss in their product of wool, little short of a hundred and fifty thousand pounds a year- Here you have, indeed, but a very partial view of the tremendous forfeit Poland has had to pay for leaguing herself with the scum of the Corsican's worshippers and I will only add to it, that another of its fruits has been to rob the bank here of yearly profits exceeding sixty thousand pounds, which, comparing the value of money with that in England, are tantamount to 200,0001. at least with yourselves. P. I have preferred setting down all values in pounds sterling, as the Polish florin is a coin scarcely known amongst my fellow countrymen.

TIIE IIlON TRADE IN FRANCE. In 1814 a protecting duty of 150 francs the 1 000 kilo- grammes, or about 61. per ton, and the war duty of 101 pur cent, was levied on foreign iron in the hope that it would be sufficient to prevent the introduction of English iron but this being found insufficient, antl that English iron, even after paying freight and duty, could still be sold at a lower price than French iron, the tariff wa, changed, and the duty fixed at 150 francs, and 10 per cent. on charcoal iron only, and that no other iron should lie introduced. As charcoal iron, it was necessary to prove that the vessel in which it was imported had passed the Sound. On all other bar iron a duty of 250 francs and 10 per cent. war duty per ton was levied, which duty is still continued—even the war duty, after 19 years of peace. This heavy duty was intended as a prohibition, in order to encourage iron works in France. Thus, to serve a few, the whole country is sub- jected to a heavy tax the price of French bar iron is never lower than 181. per ton, and varies from thu price to 301. hence English bar iron can still be introduced with advantage. Mr. Wilson, notwith- standing this, publicly declared in 1828, that in ten years France would produce iron so cheap as only to require a very small duty to protect it against foreign competition, but at that moment Mr. Wilson was seeking to get share- holders for the works at Creusot. He was believed, and half the court took sktres in the works at Creusot; 400,0001. Wit. subscribed. In five yearsCreusot was in a state of bank- ruptcy the causes of which we developed in a preceding articlc. Nearly all the other iron works in France are in the same condition. Before the tariff was augmented in 1822, the importa- tion was 13.800 tons of bar iron, and after the high duty only 4,500 tons per annum. English bar iron can be delivered in France at 177 francs per ton, and the lowest price ot French iron is 400 francs per ton. Now the annual consumption of iron in France is 150,000 tons, and as ihe public pays upwards of 200 francs per ton more than it can obtain foreign iron at, it is a loss to the public of 30 millions ot francs per annum, or, 1,200,0001. sterling, and that to support a few iron works that cannot prosper even with such a protecting duty. A commission was appointed by Government to take the subject into consideration, and it was proposed to reduce the duty 21. per ton, when M. Boigues, onp. of the first iron masters in France, candidly staled" this re- duction would kill us. I prefer the fear of death to death itself. I had rather live a little longer than be killed at once." Besides, the iron masters are a little consoled by the idea that the reduction of th* duty cannot take place as long as the general interests of the countiy are consi- dered. Now," says M. Blanquy, from whom this article is principally taken, the general interest of the country demands a much greater reduction and were it made. he would exert himself more, he would gsin perhaps a little less, and the stimulus of competition would make him no doubt discover new means of obtaining softer cast iron, and less brittle bar iron." The reduction pioposed is to the old tariff of 150 francs per ton on all bar iron, whether charcoal or coal iron, and it is supposed that it will be carried the next session.

CIRCULATION OF FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES IN PARIS. The investigation of the case relative to the forged Bank of England notes lately circulated in Paris has brought to light several curious facts. A number of fifty pound notes had been taken by Paris money changers and sent by them to England. These notei were re- turned to them, cut in two, and marked with the word Forged." Some days ago an individual called at a changer' and asked for gold for 20 fifty pound notes. The changer made some objections, and found time to send for a Commissary of Police. The individual was arrested, his lodgings searched, and a number of forged notes found there. Athough he asserted that he had re- ceived them in the ordinary course of payment he was sent to prison. A few daYb after, a man decorated with the riband of the Legion of Honour, and styling himself a Viscount, came to the Prefecture, and declared himself to be the author of the forgery, but not of the emission of the notes. He accused the person who attempted to exchange the notes as having fraudulently obtained possession of them and added that his intention was not to make any present use of the forged notes, but to keep them to ruin the Bank of England, in case war should break out between France and Great Britain. The police on searching the apartment of the individual, found an immense number of forged notes, all the instru- ments necessary for making paper, copper plates, a press for engravings, and one for lithography, by means of which were added on the paper already engraved, the numbers which, on the real bank notes, are written in a different ink. There was also a printing press, to imitate by means of another ink, the signatures placed at the bottom of the notes. Several of the first Parisian printers have been sent for by the examining Judge, in whose presence they made a note with the instruments seized. This note was found so well executed, that it was almost impossible to detect the forgery. The preliminary inves- tigation will probably last some months, so that the trial will not come on until January. It is said that the Bank of England intends to claim damages a partie civile, and has sent one of its legal advisers to Paris to watch the proceedings.- Gatigizatti's Mestenger.

OILING A WKATHERCOCK.—It is necessary to oil the vane on the top of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral once a year, and which can only be accom- plished by a person climbing to the top of the giddy. eminence. Last week a man named Samuel Aplin performed this venturous exploit for the fiftieth time. HUMAN RP.-Lics.-A letter from Sezanne, in the Marne, states that within these few days, at about 410 yards from Narbonne, and 30flom Chemin de Vaches, to the southeast, on the slope ofla small hill, and only four feet below the surface of the earth, were discovered twelve skeletons, separated from each other by a line of stone rude and unwrought. The head of each was covere with a flat stone. Each skeleton had a brass collar round the neck, and in the place of the arms by the side of the hip bones a strong ring of the same metal, opening like the aniique bracelets. The first of the line had by his side a straight two edged sword, but neither of the others had any arms. Unfortunately no coins nor any article bearing an inscription have been found to throw any light upon the epoch of these human re)ic<.—Ft-eK<A Paper. EXECUTION OF THOMAS KNAPTON, aged 17, at fincoln.-On the 26th ult. this unfortunate young man suffered the extreme penalty of the law for a rape. This unfortunate young man behaved himself in a truly Christian like manner, and died truly penitent. Ilii* father and brother took their leave of him on the Wed- nesday before his execution. On the morning of his execution he received the sacrament, and a few minute, before 12 o'clock was conducted to the fatal tower, where, after a short time had been spent in prayer, he ascended the scaffold and was launched into eternity in the presence of a large concourse of spectators, the greatest portion of whom were females. After hanging the usual time his body was cut down and delivered to his friends, who caused it to be interred in St. Paul's churchyard at fiv, o'clock on the same day. 1 he unfortunate young man wished it to be made known that sabbaih breaking and frequentiug beer nhops b;uI ben Jtis ruin.

THE LATEST LONDON INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Guardian of yesterday, Friday.) We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday; they are almost entirely taken up with obser- vations on occasion of the anniversary of the three days. Every thing it is certain passed off as well as the juste milieu could expect, and as Louis Philippe escaped without any attempt being made on his life, he must be particularly satisfied. The National Guards mustered about 50,000 men at the review, double the number ex. pected to be present. On the part of the inhabitants of Paris not under arms there was no show of enthusiasm. The attempt, how. ever, to get up the cry of No Bastiles was a failure, very few joining in it. FRENCH FUNDS, JULY 30.

It will be observed that the supplies since last market have been moderate, but never. theless there is but little inclination to purchase, and great quantities remain unsold.

The rade has been heavy during the week, and purchases almost every article might have been made on rather lower terms, but the dealers bought very sparingly, and the inquiries 011 speculation have been very confined. There have been some further arrivals of Wheat and Flour from Canada, hut the trade in these articles has partaken of the general dulness. In the Bonded Market we. have heard of no- thing passing. Our market this morning was slenderly attended, and the dealers evinced very little d sposition to purchase, although wheat was offering at 2d to 3d per buijhil, oats d to I d per bushel, Hour at Is 6d per sack, and oat- meal at Gd to Is per load below the prices of this day week. Barley was '2d per bushel lower, and at this decline some patcels were taken by the distillers. LIVERPOOL CoTTON MARKET, July 30 Wc have had a very fair demand for cotton today the sales are about 3,000 bales, at very full prices. COLONIAL MARKETS, JULY 31. There is but little disposition on the part of the sellers to realize, while OR the other hand there is a disposition to speculate, which is rather on the increase in the great tnarts of colonial merchandise. Wool-The supplies are but scanty, and last prices fully preserve themselves. The lale arrivals from Sydney and Van Diemen's Land will not be brought to public sale until further parcels arrive, and these are hourly expected. Pepper—This article is steady at 4jd to 5d for sifted, and 4d to 4!d for unsifted. Ashes-A limited demand continues for Montreal pots prices are rather lower. Old pots, 24s new pots, 25s 6,1. Montreal pearls go off regularly at 26s 6d to 27s. The States' ashes are much in demand, and very scarce. (Liverpool report.) Tallow—A parcel oilrio Grande, of low quality, has been sold at 42s per cwt. P. Y.C. fully preserves its rates; and it is expected so to do (Liverpool report.) No alteration in the London Market. p. Y.C. 45s 9d to 46s for future delivery. Pimento—Much inquiry after this article and we advance our quotations Ad to td per lb. 220 bags by auction brought 42d to 4Jd. Refined Sugar-A few parcels hive been sold for ex- portation. Prices are fully supported, and the market has become firmer in consequence of the scarcity. Tea—The deliveries last week were as follow Quar- ter chests. 1,010; half, 94; large, 254. No alteration in price. It was reported at the close of yesterday's market that raw sugar had advanced 311 per cwt. OATS.—Several fine fields of oats were cut last week in the fens round Boston. Generally speaking, the crop of oats will be sbort. The wheat harvest commenced yester. day in several places in the neighbourhood of this town. We regret to observe, however, that in many fields the ears look thin and sickly. Rye seems strong and healthy, and promises a v^ry fair crop. Most of the hay in this part of the country is now got in. A considerable quan. tity of rain fell in this neighbourhood on Friday night and on Saturday, but the work had proceeded so far that not much injury was done by it.— Advertiser. LINCOLN ConN MARKET, July 26,- The supply of wheat was very fair, as to the near approach of harvest but the market was dull, and what business was done was at a decrease from last week's prices.

MERTHYR TYDVIL, SATURDAY, Aug. 3, 1833. The late week has been one of extraordinary po- litical bustle both at ho:ne and abroad. In the House of Lords the church spoliation bill has passed. In the Commons the East India and West India' Bills have sealed the doom of our empire in the east and west, and last, though not leasr, in the estimation of the interested parties, is "the puddle in a slorm," the quarrel between Mr.O'CoNNELL and the reporters of the Timet. We have so often deprecated the iniquitous bill called the Church Temporalities Bill for Ireland, that we have now only to deplore the severe wound that religion has received by such a measure be- coming the law of the land. In legislation the passions of own should have no share; the subject should be considered not only with reference to the end, but to the dura. ton of time. To adopt a measure that may be nght today and wrong tomorrow, is unworthy the name of legislation; it is but the short-sighted burst of passion and ignorance. That the new law will not work well seems very certain even its authors are not sanguine on this head, while its enemies regard it as a ministerial abortion. I he Conservatives were resolved to throw it out, when the Ministers, whose retreat must have followed its rejection, got up wliat the French call a coup d etat Seeing their danger, they applied to the KINO to use bis influence with the Peers, and engage them to withdraw their opposition. His Majesty's en- treaty was a command to the loyal Peers; they bowed obedience to the KINO'S expressed wishes, and while" eontent" passed their lips, II not con- tent" murmured in their hearts. It was a sacrifice ot feeling and principle, which in other days would have led to an impeachment of its authors. Where is the independence of Parliament, if one branch of the legislature is to control the free exercise of the judgment of another ? The East India Bill has passed the House of Commons, and been carried up to the Lords. It is a piece of rank deformity in all its parts, which will necessitate an entire revision or abrogation. The part relative to the China trade will lead to tlw ruin of our shipping interests, and to the introduction of deleterious articles in the shape of felJ. There will now be no check at Canton on the tea-growers; they will now furnish to inexperienced super- cargoes rubbish, which the East India Company would not receive, and when teas are damaged in the voyages stiall we find any individual shipowner or merchant make the sacrifice which the East India Company does every year, of throwing the whole into the river ? lio the damaged articles will be sold to poison the poor who live on tea, for there is no provision in the bill to prevent the sale of damaged teas; this being the case, the poor had better make their own tea of sloe leaves. The London consumers take them as tea without knowing the difference, paying five shillings a pound for what does not cost five pence. We hope, therefore, in time to find every poor family making its own tea, and to aid them in it, we pro- pose to give in a future Number the method of drying the leaves, and preparing them for their humble meal in the best manner. The other parts of the bill throw an immense patronage into the hands of government, and aialie such changes in the internal administration ol India, as lead us to apprehend the most serious conse- quences to our Eastern empire. But like all the measures of the present ministry, there is a defect in it which it will be found necessary the very next session to rectify; an oversight which could alone have been committed by persons ignorant of the sub.. ject, and the parties interested are too prudent to point out to them their blunder. The West India Bill is progressing to its close, twenty millions arc to be given to the planters to indemnify them for the loss of their slaves, who are now to be apprentices for so many years, and work out their freedom they are to work a certain number of days in the week for the master, and the test of the time is their own: there is now no Compulsory labour, it is to be all free labour. The Parliament does not, or will not see that free labour in the tropical climates is a thing" not to be obtained. Look at St. Domingo, and see there the result of free liboiir-one of the first fruits of it in our colonies will be that the slave-we beg Pardon, the free negro, will be sick on the days he should work for his master, and if he cannot, or will not work on these days. what is to compel him ? The bill is silent on the subject. We have just escaped a great and terrible revo- lution from a political earthquake and voicanij et-u p. tion, caused by the mortal conflict between the great Mr. O'CONNELL and the greater limes news- paper. Mr. O'CONNELL brought his artillery from St. Giles's, and the Time.thrir's from Billings- gate— When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war The Times threatened destruction on Mr. O'VON- NELL, and its myrmidons refused to let the good people of England know what Mr. O'CONN PLL said for their good, but it found it had gone too far, it confessed it was wrong, and promised to return to \ls (jut\ i.H.&J, Lllu" lIh: uVci t,iv s.u.ui threatened destruction on us all. Both parties claim the victory, and chal t their Te Denm, to which wehave no objection, if they will only keep their brawls to themselves.

The contents of the French papers have been chiefly taken up with details of the celebration of I he anniversary of the « glorious three days." The government had taken every precaution to prevent the slightest appearance of an emeute. Spectacles "ere got up in various parts of Paris to divide the tttention of Louis Philippe's loving subjects, whilst L an overwhelming military force, with the National boards under arms, was concentrated in all parts of the capital. It will, therefore, excite no surprUe when it is mentioned that every tiling passed uff tran- quilly, although the jealous watchfulness of the French police caused several a. rests. At the re- view of the National Guards by the King, there was no enthusiasm displayed, and at the inauguration of the statue of Napoleon at the top of the column in the Place Vendome the cries of "Vive Na- poleon" were alone heard; as for poor Louis Philippe, none cried "God bless him!" The un- popularity of the government is further proved by the continued acquittal of pai ties tried for political offences. The question of the detached forts con- tinues to agitate the fears of the Parisian inha- bitants. The Citizen King appears anxious to con- vince the people that the design is abandoned, but the works are certainly proceeding with great activity. Intelligence has been received from Brussels an- nouncing the birth of an heir to the throne of Bel- giutn, which took place at haIf.pat four on Wed- nesday morning, the 24th of July, to the great joy of King Leopold, and to the perfect illdilfaence of his subjects, and every nation except France. It is very questionable if the juvenile Duke of Brabant, for that is to be his cognomen, will ever inherit the crown of his sire, since it is anticipated that the "independent sovereignty" of Belgium will cease to exist before he attains his majority. The Q <een of the French was in Brussels at the time of the accouchement of her daughter, but returned to Paris to be present at the anniversary of the revolution of the barricades, from whence her Majesty took her departure again for the Belgian capital on Monday- last, to oftiaiate at the baptism of her grandson. The Conference in London has had several meet- ings to take into consideration the settlement of the Dutch and Belgian dispute. From the slow and methodical manner in which every point at issue is weighed, the deliberations are likely to be prolonged f'Jr a considerable period, notwithstanding the asser- tions of the ministerial organs that the negotiations would be brought to a speedy and satisfactory ad- justment of this long pending question. From Portugal we have received accounts froat Lisbon to the 22J ultimo, and Oporto to the 26 It, Hie Lisbon Casette of the 21st contains an official account of the landing of Villa-Flor, alias ijie Dul,e of Terceira, with the Pedroite expedition in the Algarves. The reception given to the invaders differs materially from the version of Don Pedro's agents. The respectable inhabitants fled to the province of Alentejo, together with all persons of distinction. A por.ion of the Pedroite troops, after committing every devastation retreated, pursued by the Miguelite forces into Spain, where they were dis- armed. The fifth division of Don Miguel's army assembled in the city of Beja was upon the point of taking offensive measures against the remainder. The state of affairs in the north adds little to con- sole the ex-Emperor of Brazil for the disasters in the south of Portugal. A general attack was made on Oporto on the 25th ultimo by Marshal Bour- mont. The accounts vary as to the degree of suc- cess which characterized the attempt; but as the Pedroites expected another attack the ensuing day, it is fair to presume that General Bourmont, like a prudent General, having made his reconno is fiance of the nature: of the defences, retired, in order more effectually to attain his object at a futme assault upon the city. It is therefore clear from these details that the general feeling of the country is against the pretensions of Don Pedro, and ifanything- should be eventually achieved by his crusade, it must be at- tributed to the assistance afforded by foreign me.re- naries and mere adventurers. The underhanded assistance afforded to Pedro's cause in the neutrality displayed during the contest by the Eng lish govern- ment, has hitherto been of no avail to induce the great majority of the Portuguese people to desert the standard of Don Miguel; and with the exception of the capture of the Miguelite fleet, no advances have been made to authorize an expedition in which the commercial interests of Great Britain have suffered SJ deeply. Upon the litter part of the stiliject, we beg to refer our readers to the report of the debate in the House of Lords on the paper blockade of the ports of Portugal. We learn from Italy that political intrigues and conspiracies abound in the various states. The Sardinian continental provinces, the Neapolitan and Roma^States, Austrian Lombardy, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the States ot Parma and Modena, all display signs of revolutionary dis- orders. Austria is upon the alert, and has large bodies of troops in the neighbourhood of Venice and Milan to act in case of any emergency. 'r- Advices from Jamaica to the 17th ulr. mention, that the general outline of the first ministerial plan of emancipation had reached the island. The colo- nists refused to listen for a moment to the pro- position of a loan of 15 millions for 12 years o the planter, to be repaid by a fund to be created out of wages to be allowed to the slaves by their owners. They asserted that England had no au- thority to deprive them of their property by legis- lative enactments, without in the first instance pro- viding an adequate compensation fund to repay them the valtit-of that of which they shall be dispossessed, and they expressed their fixed determination to resist to the utmost of their power any attempt at the exercise of such an at liitriti-y control as was as- sumed in the first measure propounded by govern- ment. The greatest excitement prevailed, ai d the next intelligence is looked for with much anxiety. From the St. Christopher Gazettes to the 7th ofJ lllle we find, that the slave population of St. Vincent have displayed symptoms of insubordination Irom the anticipations which they entertained of eman- cipation on the arrival of the Lieutenant-Governor of Grenada. His Excellency had, however, issued a proclamation, undeceiving those industriously spread expectations.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 24th inst. contains pri- vate intelligence from Jassy, stating that a dreadful fire had taken pluee in th*t town, and had con.-um^d the major pait of that section of the town thai had escaped the previous fire, notwithstanding the almost superhuman xenions of the Russian garrison the fire nged till th; ext day.
