All our mains and cities :heir ibantielves animated with. the keenest indignation ligainst the Barbarians. Subscriptions have'been en vied into to buy off all the slaves, previous to the . ComMencement of hostilities, lest they should fall ',i c tims to the barbarity of the Janissaries, at the time ' o f the bombardment of the shores of Africa. - GENOA, JULY e 9. The greatest activity reigns in our harbour; Com iserce is as active ainur present circumstances, and the kin'd of war waged by the Barbarians, will per mit. Several vessels in particular have arrived here from Cette and from Marseilles, laden with wines and brandies. Nothing bist French brandies will sell here. The English are very numerous, but they .spend little, which takes from their respectability among the people. Several English fainilies have placed their children at our schools, from economical motives. . • AUGUsr I.

Never was the grand fall of this river, at- MOTe Subliine = and strangers, of course, Wave been astonished and delighted With the view. MARSEILLES, AUGUST 4.i The affairs of the Barbary pirates occupy the atten tion of our merchants and politicians much. We wait with, impatience for the results of the combined cape jition against these Powers. And yet the French iserchants !lave wit much reason to complain : the Babary Powert have preserved with our Sovereign, the ancient relations of amity and good intelligence, *which unite the Sublime Porte and France. But now it is the causeof huinanity, and whatever may be our interests our wishei are not eqi:ivoo4l. For some days we have rtnnarked that those em. ployed at the English Consulate have worn the white cockade. This mark of harmony thews that the E• ng. lish do not all think like Wilson, Bruce, and Compa;iy. The Police, instructed that one Sir James to was enquiring tar the ionize/a of the last Govern ment, visited his residence, where, having found some trash belonging to the Usurper, they packed them up and pat their seals upon them. PARIS. AUGUST 1.. We.learn from Avignon, that the silk-worms have been very productive this year in the South of France. Advice: have reached us from Buenos A yres to the middle of May: It is now rumoured that the Portu guese Gnu:lntent, which was originally thought to have sent troops to assist in repressing the patriots, is looking forward with confidence to the union of the provinces , of Buenos Ayres with the kingdom of the Brazils. The external signs of concord, whatever may be the grounds of it, between the Buenos Ayres Goverootent and the Portuguese, is the passage of frequent deputations • from Buenos Ayres to RioJa ' nen*, while the Portuguese troops continue in great surnberson the frontiers: • . The next intelligence from Buenos Ayres may be expected to possess considerable interest. " BUENOS AYRES, MAY 11. . " As to Interesting events, I do not know of any deserving at•, nations the labours of the Congress in Tucuman cannot imme diately produce much benefit; although we stand greatly in met of a good and enernetic government.

There Is no truth whatever in the report lately dr misted of a Meeting having been called at Reading, to consider.of an Address to the Panics REGIOT wt the subject of Sinecure Places and Pensions. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the • East-India Home, when Captain I'. LARICIn was is am into the command of the Marquis Camden; deigned to Bombay and Chisia:. . . .• 0. • • c7ItE.,FUNDS: • . . - Yesterday was a very busy day at the Stock Ei change. The-Market left•Coff.—Consols, for Money; 6li ; for Account, 61H. At font; o'clock one of the fitst Jobbers was a very greitt seller for the Acco'unt: The failure of one Broker for nearly a million [i. e. for the difference on that amount of Stock] ex cited for a time considerable alarm. The faces of the Balli and Beam would have furnished some fine subjects for Caricatnrists, had any been - there in search of subjects. By . the Beare it w as remar k e d, t h at M r .' had long been the mouth-piece and cats.paW of a certain junta of the Belk : the Belle, on the con trary, praised the exertions he had been making to prevent the Funds from sinking through the effect of false fears and• alarms excited by the Bear:, and maintained that but for his spirit Consols would by this time have been at 59 tw 58. The Commissioners' for Liquidating the National Debt gave yesterday, in Me Stock .Extionge, for their lot of Reduced, 62i, while. if we are not much mis informed, there were sellers to any amount in the Public Market at the New Stock Exchange and at the Bank at 61i, even for Friday next. Does not this fact shear, that but one place of tale for the Public Funds ought to be tolerated ? When the Act was passed for empowering Ministers to purchase Stock for the public •acconnt, the Stock ExMange was an qua Mat ket, and continued so till the year 1799 when (by whom we know not) it was shut up from the Public ; and it has continued so ever since. This abuse should be instantly corrected. We believe,that the Lois MAYOR for the time being has a right to open this as well as any other Market in the City to the public in general, or to compel them to shut up shop it they refuse to comply. If so, the Worthy Magistrate who so ably fills the civic chair could not render the public a greater service than by enforcing h:s authority. At any rate Mi nisters should interfere to secure for the Commissioners the benefit of the lowest market. The difference be tween Gil and 62-1 on the amount of one day's put-. chase M these Commissioner., is a sum of considerable 1 magnitude., His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON sailed from Dover on Tuesddy night for Calais in the Lord Dun can packet.

This morning our gay visitors on the Marine Pro. menades were gratified with the sight of a most beau tiful new vessel majestically gliding through our hay. :On boarding her, she proved to be a magnificent smack, built at Bridport. far the London and Edin but-gh Shipping Company, on her MAI to Leith to be fitted up for passengers, and commanded by Captain BALLIPIpALL ) late of the Trusty, belonging to the same Company.. Those who visited this charming vessel speak in raptures of her elegant appearance : she has not, in fact, her equal,. in point of fast-sailing and r accommodation, even among the smacks of the Com pany for whom she has been-built, and who have been long and justly celebrated for the superiority of the comforts their vessels afford over all others.— ' Those, in particular, who are acquainted with this delightful mode of conveyance between London and Leith will be further gratified on learning that this additional smack is to be commanded by such an able seaman and truly respectable character, as Coptain BALLINGALL is uniformly acknowledged to be by all among whom genuine worth and integrity are esti rhable. - , A very large Rock of wild fowl was heard to pass over the Metropolis between nine and ten o'clock last night; flying very low,.and surprising the Londtimers, by a noise so unusual.

TO THE EDITOR OF TSR''S7fR: rstet T —Tlie 'feelings awakened in the Peblie toward' our suffering" manufoctiiring and labaoing poor, shew hotly closely interwoven io the British breast. The. Bobacrintiotis alleViart their distress hare• been considerable; hpt to 4ive tl.esea wa alms y in would bolY tend to dei tro y 91rit of' Eng] set independence, which, amid all cot mislertunes.. is, I hope, still entire and meson ; Mt. Entroft, place the means o f honestly' gaining subsistence within the reach of an EugP.shmau'i ammo; and he will command it. . The applicstion, therria re, of the monies subscribed demands the most serious and attentive consideration. Let us surpose, for instance. that elGO,trt) raised 'iow I would &vote k 50,000 to the relief r): the A:gticulturiats, and 5e50,000 for the relief of Tmsle. As I do not presume to be an adept .% agricul— tural policy, I leave the distribution of the sum allotted to the farming interest to abler hands s but t . am not so little versed in the depaaraent of our trade and conenterce, and therefore take leave humbly to offer my ouggestioni, leaving it to wiser heads -to expand and bring them into use. • I must remind four Readers that the grew staple actiakis of otienative produce are co a l an d i ron ; And that our .present national dist:vs.: is most inatifer among thrise ern rlayecrin these branches of trade, and from them has extended to other classes. Theligli. ing of tow ns.by carbonated hytlr ,gen gas, in which abundance of both coal and iron ore .corsumed, rapidly gains ground s . it is, in fact, the blest and most economical method of illumination hitherto ad' peed. I propose that its benefits should' lie still m-re encl• steely diffused, and that in point of economy, it may be placed within the reach of every town, however small, and of every individual; however bumble his circumstances: If £30,000 is to be allotted to our Manufacturing Interest, I would suggest that an immediate order shall be given to each of the iron districts, rush at Staffordshire, Wales, and Scotland, for the amount 'in gas pipes and welded barrels. Let the towns of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Wcrcester, be lighted m this way : in that district the cal can It had for two shillings per tan, an there could be an immediate sale for the cake : tilos tl.ere would be as much coal got there for a shilling, as there is in Londen for ten, and oil and talkw are as dear as in London; besides the making of gas and coke will consume a species of coal incapable of b...ing used almost fur any other purpose, and which would otherwise be wholly lost to Sf,c;ety. Swansea, in Wales, might be lighted up in the same war, while Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Sunderland, a;id Durham. prvstlit simtlar.facilities. From the caal-:nines near the list mentioned-places in particular, an immense quantity of small coal it brought to Bank, as it is called, and theta snffeted to waste, but all Of which would be used in the distillation of coal gat, and might be conveyed to either of the abov.: towns at three thiilinp,s per ton. The lionPl . pes can be had in country places frr two-thirds of the price raid for them in London, and Coals for one•tentb part—the Coke from which wilt yield twice the pike of the original material. la. short, 'what the London Gas Companies charge tl for may be obtained in the country for ss. and with' greater profit to the speculators. • • Thousands and tens of thousands would thus find' immediate employment, and all the Iron Furnaces of the counuy would be at work. Now let the capital subscribed be invested in the names In Trustees, to be returned to the donors at a *ivcn period : but to accommodate . the Public, and to encourage the scheme, the Iron Pipes maottfar. tured may be sold at 5 per Cent. below cost. Many, ram , convinced, would' be Share-holders in such An enterprize from the mixed feelings of humanity and interest,. because every considerable town'ihiglit form **Oat Light ounit/fly from anrolg its own inhabi. Siints,• and they would thus know where to go to the cheapest market for-the articles they require. • Government might easily effect the same beneficent purpose by an issue of £50,000 'in Eschequtr Bills 'to the Iron Matters, hypothecating the produce of their industry its return, and placing it in yards or warehouses under the eye of the Revenue Officers, who might be instructed only to give an order for the release of the goods upon reciiving payment of the amount for which they werchypothecated. I was much hurt and surprised to see a writer, in a late Birmingham Gazette, menti on th e i mpo li cy statin g boldly and openly the distress of th'e working classes : my opinion on the contrary is, Ara they will be greatly encouraged to hear their afflictions with patience when they learn that the higher classes *e turning their attention to the best means of alle viating .their distresses and are tutting every effort to serve diem. • Hoping that the above suggestions will meet the eye of some person in the State, rich and powerful enough to put than into practice, I have to subscribe myself your very obedient servant, Loudon.
