By a Proclamation of the Belgian Gover- nor General of India we learn that the BA- tavian Government has fotindit to its inte- rest to give up the narrow and mistaken views of commercial illiberally, which, to the present time, so particularly distinguish- ed the Dutch system of trade. His Excel- lency Baron Vander Oapelle had not taken this step one moment too soon, for ouiv es. tablishment at Syncapore was ruining the Dutch trade, chiefly in consequence of its being governed by liberal principles of com- mcree. > This proclamation appoints, besides the Entrepots of Batavia and Khio, already ex- isting, « third at Anjer, in the Presidency ■of BaAtikra, ati(I declares that thesameshaU be established at all other ports where the interests of commerce require it, and no weighty reason to the contrary c.x i, t s. The oppressive and vexatious regulations which formerly rendered thes? Entrepots of little utility, are repealed, and those substi- tuted in their place are fair and equitable. An entrepot duty of one per cent. is laid on the original invoice price of the goods, and the difference between that sum and the du- ty already paid, on goods, at present duter- ed in entrepot, is to be refunded, KUIflMfclWHIIWiJi

the faris Journals of iSiesday, arrived ttttight. Thay- km tain Ii?}l)í¥p?r Yatice. The RoyAlist Editors appear to suffer no small perplexity from the probable effect of the lte revolution in Spain. The recall of tlV6 breach troops is in some way, they seem to think, necessarily connected with that event; and assuming this opiiilon, which, however, we confess we cannot understand, they tHtt forth the most melanc holy fore- bodings as to the fate of Ferdindnd, and of tvrannv in Europe. J Upon the hypothesis that the French troops are to be forthwith withdrawn, the immediate prospects of Ferdinand it must be owned are dark enough, but as we have intimated the hypothesis is not altogether clear, however, it is only the difference of a ifew years duration of the misrule of that in- fatuated Despot, for it is certain,.—-demon- strably certain, from the history of mankind, that for more than a few years neither the arts of his Priests, nor the arms of France, can support him in the system which he has lutherto pursued. The Journal des Dabats of Munday iaikes some statements respecting the late mvociatiiMis of, the Haytian loan, which it behoves the Commissioners and Contractors in disapprove if nntmc. It states that the public buildings were, from the beginning, iutandt to be a mere nullity; that the Commissioners had previously entered into an agreement with the present Contractors to give them the contract at 25 centimes above the highest public bidding; that a treaty was negociated between these parties for that object, through the medium of a broker on the 29th of October: that the Commissioners fixed their minim'm at the otovngaut rate of 90, that they might al- ways be above the highest public offer, and thus be enabled to falfil the stipulations of their private convention that the intended bidders heard of this manoeuvre, and had resolved to defeat it by staying away: that they were only induced at last to attend and present their sealed tenders, on the po- sitive assurance that the pri vate treaty had been cancelled in favour of frank conduct and fair dealing: and that having come forward fairly and honourably, they were finally defeated by the fadeless stratagem which they had at first denounced, and which they were afterwards assured had been abandoned. So far the French journalist, whose statement is certainly entitled to all the credit due to promptitude and directness of accusation it is also supported in an im- portant degree by the fact that the Com- missioners having publicly fixed their mi- nimum at ninety, subsequently accepted of eighty from private contractors.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) Zante, Sept. 30. Redsch'd Pacha not discouraged by the fruit- less assaults which he had already made, and being also pressed by the orders he received from the Grand Signior, which were to the effect" ei- ther Missolonghi or your head," made a terrible attack on that place about eight days ago. He effected a breach and forced in his troops, who immediately got possession of two bastions. The Greeks, who fought with valour hitherto, seeing such an advantage obtained against them, flung away their guns, and sallied forth upon their as- sailants sword in hand, and attacked the Infi- dels with such impetuosity, that in half an hour they were completely overthrown and put to flight. The Pacha, after this defeat, had a fortifica- tion raised of earth, on which he placed five pieces of large cannon, which he directed against and greatly battered the interior of Missoloughi. The Greeks, who could not oppose or stop this heavy fire, conceived the project of burying the Turks beneath their own batteries. Tilev accori ingly sunk a mine, and conducted the labour orit with such expertness, that not a single escaped the explosion ortheturnae lieneithtlicir feet. This event prevented the possibility ofes, cape to RedsChid Pacha, who is now cantoned at Hvpochori, on the Evenus, Ibrahim Pacha, the Eyptian, after leaving a garrison at Tri Iw-lizza, (I i rected his course towards Mistra, where he burnt two houses and some churches. Marching from thence on Bardonits, he was stopped by the Greeks, eutrenohed behind th« drawbridge towers, of which kind of buildings the habitations of thai-ity are formed. He was preparing to besiege them, when the Hellenic annv, commanded by Colocotconi and othei cap- tains, came to attack him. The combat was vi- gorous. and the either his cavalry or trorrpo of the line, from the asperities of the woody aud moiinuHuoas country adjacent, was coinpe-iled to sound a retreat after losing 1,5200 men. He retired into a country in the neighbourhood of Monembasia, which iscalled Pente Alonia, and here too is closely pressed by the Greeks. This news is certain. Great preparations are making for the sixth campaign. Colonel Fabvier and a Neapolitan General, Rossarol. are organising troops accord- ing to European tactics. < < The Gulph of Lepanto continues to be biockatl- ed by eight Greek vessels, which sutler on other having previous to enter.

NEW BRIDGE, KI^^PUN-UPON-TIIAMES. On Monday, last the ceremony of laying the first stone for a new bridge took place at Kings- ton (to cross the Thames from Thames-street. Kingston, to the hamlet of Hampton- wick(, upon which occasion the Earl of Liverpool presided, having accepted the invitation of the corporation to lay the first stone. Though the day was over- cast, the concourse of spectators was immense: among the visiters were the Duke and Dutchess of Clarence, and Princess Augusta. A (tei- an ap- propriate prayer had been oflered np by the Re- verend G. Greaves, and the coins, &c. deposited the stone was lowered down; after which the Earl of Liverpool proceeded to spread the mor- tar with an elegant gold trowel; his lordship af- terwards levelled the stone by means of the plum- lin alld mallet, amidst the. cheers of the sur- rounding numbers. Mr. E. Lapidge (the county surveyor) is the architect: the design is chaste and elegant, consisting of fi re arches (segments of circles), the centre arch to be GO feet span, and 21 feet rise to the crown of the arch the two extreme arches 53 span each, and two intermediate ones oti feet 6 inches each, with piers about ten feet wide, besides a number of land arehes the bridge to be 2o feet wide in the clear, and the whole expense, including the approach, to be about irSo.OOO. It was the intention of the cor- poration to have had a cast-iron bridge; archi- tects were in consequence invited to send in de. signs, and a premium of IGOguineas ottered. As many as twenty were submitted, from which they the design of Mir. J. B. Watson, archi- tect, but in consequence of the great advance in the price of iron it was abandoned altogether: the bridge would have been light and elagant, consisting of three equal arches (each composed of eight ribs;, of 10S feet span, and 19 feet 4 in- chos rise to crown of arches, and 8 feet (i inches to the springing (making the bridge perfectly le- vel at the top); a number of land arches, were also provided to counteract the ill effects ol the floods, which are so great an inconvenience to the town of Kingston the bridge would have been 3Ci feet wide, and the whole expense aoout £-18,000. The present bridge, which is of wood and which has stood many centuries, will he pul- led down at the completion of the new one, and the materials (some of which are very sound) sold to defray part of the expense. The hand of the 8th Light Dragooons played repeatedly during the ceremony. HISTORICAL FACT.—It has been long a rumour that General Braddock was killed by one of his own men. This is placed beyond doubt, by the statement of one who could not be mistaken.— Braddock, during the battle in which he lost his life, ordered the provincial troops to form a co- lomn. They rather chose the Indian mode of fighting, from behind the shelter of a tree. Brad- dock, in his vexation, rode up to a man, by the adine. of Faweet, and cut him down. Thomas Fawcett, a brother of the killed, learning the manner of his death, watched the opportunity for revenge, and shot Braddock through the body, of which wound he died. Thomas Fawcett is now, or was lately, residing near Laured Hill, and is about 95 years of age.

PROPHECIES FOR O.sETHOUSAXD EIGIIT HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX. IN the course of the following year a number of ladies will catch cold forwent of clothing while others will carry their whole wardrobe on their back, and yet be starved to death. Several young ladies, of good property, will fall violently in love with oung men of no pro- perty or expectations dreadful disappointments will consequently ensue on bolls sides. A great many lectures and sermons will be preached, and unattended to. Novel reading will be all the rage, and young misses will rise early and go to bed late, to read love tales- It will be the fashion for ladies to wear no pockets, and from circumstances, some gentlemen may not require a-iy. Several duties will occur, when the parties will miss fire. it being their original intention not to nurt each other.

COMrciNvrios. —The combination mania has seized the crews of the fishing boats at Grave- send, where all the vessels are fitted out for the supply of the London market with cod, salmon, and lobsters, from Scotland. There were one hundred and sixty of these smacks at Gravesend the other day, not one of which would proceed on their voyage, until the owners consented to rawe their wages. It is a matter of surprise to most persons who are in the habit of visiting the markets, that the price of most should continue so exorbitantly high, notwithstanding the unquestionable abundance of the late season, which ought, from natural causes, to have brought the prices of articles inoi-t- level but the disproportion between the price of cattle and corn is evidently very great, and forms an anomaly for which we are at a loss to account. —Exe-iev Gazette. t A gentleman farmer of Norfolk, who had en4 gaged for a wager of twenty sovereigns to ride his boar pig from his own house toWisbecn, which Is four miles ami quattr in one hour, per- formed the same in o() minutes, When a Peer is examined before the House of Commons, a chair is provided for him '"to repose himself in bttt when a J udge is called lor the Sneaker announces to him. that there is a cha-r for him to repose himself upon."

EXPORTATION OP SUBJECTS.—*FRIDAY NMY » a curious and rather disgusting fact was disclosed in College-street Police-office, Dublin. It seems that for the last twelve months a regular trade has been carried on between that city and Lon- don in dead bodies, which are sent there for the surgeon to dissect. An order was procured on Monday from the Magistrates for the burial of two or three, bodies, which were found packed up in one box, addressed to_ an inn in London, with directions to be left untill called for. 10 The stench which proceeded from the box question was the first intimation the captain t f one of the packets received of what luggage he was about conveying to London. It is hoped that the persons concerned in this abominable traffic will be discovered. Mr. Walker, of Fermoy, ha» successfully prae- tised a new and' extraordinary mode, of cultivating potatoes. His well known to farmers that po- tatoes in pits—the general mode of keeping them in this country till they are wanted for use—throw out a »reat number of shoots in the spring. I rom some of these shoots, in the. beginning of last April, Mr. Walker cut as many knots or joint* as they afforded, and planted tueiii in dtills in his garden, as if they were cuttings of the potato itself, or skillanes, as they are provincialy termed. The stalks from these joints appeared in due time, were of uncommon size and luxu- riance, and preserved their verdure to a late pe- H riodofthe season. The crop was Ilug out a H few days since, and was very productive. This was the second experiment of the kind which Mr. Walker has tried, and he is so well satisfied with their result, that he intends to cultivate an acre in the same manner next year to the whole pro- cess of which he will invite the attention of the H neighbouring farmers as publicly as possible.

Wednesday week, Mrs. Margate Christian, wife of Mr. Thomas Christain, tailor and draper of Douglas, bdeof Man, received an account of the death of her father, who resided in Sulby- glen, about twelve miles from that town. On the afternoon of that day, she left Douglas to at- tend his funeral, which was to take place on the following day, and intended going the mountain road, as she iittd gone it CUl former occasiolls. Oil the Sunday morning following, Mr. Christain proceeded thither in a gig to fetch her home as had been agreed ypon by themselves- he being prevented accompanying her on Wednesday owing to a pressure of business. When he ar- rived at her father's house, he found to his sur- prise, that she had not been there and he inaraa- diately returned to Douglas, making eveiy in- quiry on the road, but could gain no intelligence respecting her, On Monday a number of peop:e were employed in searching the mountains, over which she had to pass, it being the genera! opi- nion that she had missed her way, and anfortiua- tely perished, the weather being uncommonly sere. Their search on that, as well as the follow- ing day, however, was fruitless. On Wednesday the search was renewed, when she was found at the bottom of the north-east siue of Sna.ield i> ing on her back, being about tnree miles from the foot of the road she should have taken. Her umbrella, which was torn to picce, lay a few vards of the body, and her leticule basket, which contained a bottle of brandy and some bis- cuits, lav by her side, but. it appeared she has not partaken of either. A Coroiur s inquest was held and the Jury returned a verdict of Died from the severity of the weather. „
