A detailed ace runt of births in the clony was ordered, but no general tee rd appears to have been kept ; and in answer to the order for an ac e°. ant of fit pets-ns liable to serve on Juries in the colony of Sierra Leone, it is said that this cannot be correctly ascertained, but that the number must be very eonsid cable, for that 42 petit, and from eight to ten Grand 'farms ate usually sumns-ned every Sessions from tie col used inhabitants. The colonial authorities at Sierra Lezne say that they are unable to furnish an account (as ordered) of the number of persons subs;sting by the produce of their own l.ahour, distinguishing their several kinds of em. ploy went; for that liberated Africans, settled under superintendents in the several villages, are the only per sons under the immediate view of the colonial Govern /trent accounts. The usual rate of wages raid is to labourers 91 or 101. per day, and from half-a-crown to 7s. 1 -er day to artificers, according to their skill. It k added, however,. that these rates of payment are on the decline. In ships and fishing-boats, exclusive of a small number belonging to natives, the property of the inhabitants of the colony is small, and dr es not exceed a small tonnage. There are ebout 35 vessels, from 10 to 88 tons burden, besides fourteen boats employed by fidiermea. ,I PARLIAMENTARY I N FELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 25. FURTHER PROROGATION OF PARLIAININT.

From the whole tenototliie French Opposition Journal:, received in the course of this week, we ob. set ved an incipient feeling of envy at our commercial policy, and a strong desire to rake up a counterpoise to our nava! power. it is alley* that our present ;rank in the scale of nations is, by accidental circumstances, much beyond% bat they conceive to be our proper station; that it is founeed merely onAnartommercial grandeur; to inaintain which se are accused of deserting the cause of -legitimate Governments, and recognizing, in the ranks of SoVereign Powers (as in the case of the South American States), Governments founded on usurpa tion, merely . that we may thereby find customers to consume our manufacture': and the French Go vernment is earnestly exhorted to seek a counter.- )ralaisCe to our Naval pow er, by cultivating an intim .te 'connexion with the North Americans,. Russians, Swedes, Danes, &c. &c. so as, at some futures**, to raise up such a confederacy of maritime strength as shall at once overpower our Navies, and theteby ic.'ucc us to an inferior, but (as they are kindly pleased to permit) still a considerable lotion in the scale of nations. We have no doubt that this is, his been, and ever will be. the ruling desire, the master-jvish of every Frenchman, from the'- Prime Minister * to the Petit Maitre. But it has bten often tried before, and, for the last time, by BowaPaters, - backed' by such a tre mendous aggregation of power and ;absence as is not likely to recur for another century. And how has it succeeded?—ln the recent discussion in this Journal, on the subject of the salute at sea, it has appeated that our Government voluntarily abandoned the claim of the sovereignty of the sea dejure.not think ing it worth maintaining. Has it appeared that we have also yielded the trident of the ocean de fado?—Let the one hundred and fifty line-of-battle ships,which now peaceably slumber dismantled in our arsenals, all new, sound, and in perfect condition, be called into action in a good cause, whenever that may occur, and . they will answer the question in inch a tone as the 1 maritime States of Europe and America have not yet forgotten. And as to confederacies, they have been tried - before, with what success our Readers will judge, from a cu. rions document with which we have been favoured from l an intelligent friend, on whose industry and -accuracy we have perfect reliance, and which he has compiled simply from tie pages of the London Gazette, between the month of February, 1803, and July, T 815; an inter val during which this Nation waged war, single-handed, against all the maritime Powers of the world united.

It contains various articles of intelligence from Greece. Accounts from Syra, of the 2d July, state that ISRAINIAI PACHA has carried fire and sword in all the country round ♦rgos. An article from Tinos, of tip 7th July, states that the Governor of Missolonghi had sent an express to the Government, declaring that the place could not hold out, unless he received succours. It is also stated that the Arabs had taken Arcadia, and put all to the sword ; . this does not seem likely, as IBRAHIM would scarcely detach any part of his force on Arcadia until he had taken Napoli, unless, indeed, be had been defeated and retired to the Coast, when we think he would have preferred Modon or Navarino. The Swabian Mercury states, that on the arrival of the Captain Pacha in the gulf of Patras, with fifty-six sail, he invited the Genera:, Juasouv and RIDSCHTD• PACHA, on board his ship. The one is besieged at Pa tras, and the other is besieging Missolonghi. The ac count states, that the three Commanders, after a con ference which lasted several days, determined on a new plan of offensive operations against the Greeks. This account is silent as to the fall of Missolonghi, and states that RIUNCIIIID PACHA was about to besiege it a se. cond time. The Preach elnadron at Martinique was to leave there on the lOtit of June, to return to Brest. Womb Restos. August s!.—PIT• per Gnu. 102 f. 40e. Thre• pas Nom 731.50 e. The ebb and flow of the tide is not more certain, and scarcely more regular, than the current of good and bad news from Greece. Had the speculators in Greek Scrip agents in every town on the Continent, and every port in the Mediterranean, the rise and fall could not be better managed than it is by the private letters from Con stantinople or Smyrna, the reported assertions of Ans. trian Captains, and the gaseonadings of French Journal ists. The affairs of Greece, which .bad.been for some time at blood warmth (we mean no ptm), yesterday sunk to Zero, for there arrived, not only the long aad chilling narrative of the Austrian Observer but a private letter, which, transkrring the slang of the boxing-ring to affairs of politics, tells us the Greeks are well nigh floored. This may be the case, but the subjugation of a brave people by a barbarous horde is a bad subject for levity. The intelligence of today is by no means satisfactory. The Allgemeine Zeitung, oldie 19th inst. received this morning, has the usual number of on dits of Captains andlialmirals, and repeats the report of IsaaHIMPAClieS i wounds and defeats,in which there appears to be no truth. These papers state that ltl'ssolonghi had surrendered to the Turks on the 17th of July, but as this event was stated quite as positively three months ago, we may again venture to hope it is not true. IBRAIIIM is said to have been joined by the troops of HUSSRIN Pacha, which lately landed at Navarino. The following are extracts :0-• CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25. • The accounts from the Morea continue to be favour able for the Porte. Ibrahim PAcha, whose attempt on the Mills at Napoli di Romania, would probably basic suc ceeded, had not English and French assisted the Greeks, has indeed retired to Tripolizza, but itnmediately after joined Ilusse - n Bey, who landed with reinforcements At Navarin. : . . ir . Whatever the friends of the Creeks may say, it is most likely helms sinee resumed offensive operations ; mean. time the pas , whichi during-his attempt at Napoli d , Romania, was taken by the English Commander sta tioned there, is very remarkable and is said to have led the Porie to make bitter complaints, through the Reis Effendi, to the British Legation here. It is stated that, she abovementioned British Com mander, not only encouraged the Greeks to defend themselves on that occasi' n, but even distributed pro visions among their troops. Unauthenticated reports even make the citadel of Napoli di Romania to be for mally occupied by the English. These accounts give rise to varinus reflections, and many persons begin to think that England will at length take an active part in favour of the insurgents. A Captain who arrived also on the 6th August, in 22 days from Zante, says the Captain Pacha's fleet was at Patras, and Missolonghi still besieged. TRIESTE, AUGUST 9. According to accounts just received from Carlo, and dated the 23d of July, 'Slissolonghi, after an at t4ck, which took plate on the 16th July. surrendered to the Turks the next day._ In spite of the many reports spread from all quar ters, and which were inserted also in our J mrnal, the account of Ibrahim Pacha having been made prisoner, is by no means confirmed. It is even said, that the action on the sth July, lately mentioned, terminated in his favour. qM1o) 7 HE KING.

LOSS OP THE JESSIE BY FIKE :/; FURTHER PARTICULARS. Sunday afternoon, the fine brig Jessie,' M•Kenzie, master, belonging to Messrs. Thompson, of Dumfries,' sailed from Whitehaven for St. John's, New Brunswick, with a valuable cargo, consisting of sails, rigging, and other materials, for two large vessels now buiLling at the latter place, besides a quantity of turn, Brandy, wine, itte. The wind was but light, and the vessel was in the offing the whole afternoon ; about seven o'clock in the evening she was not more than a mile front the harbour. About two o'clock on Monday morn ing, a fire was discovered in the fore part of her hold, where a quantity of oakum was- stowed ; the people below were instantly called; and so rapidly did the flames extend, that it was with the utmost di ffi culty they all got upon deck, many o f them in their shirts, and others with only their trowsers on. •In a few mi. notes the flames issued from the fore hatch, and rage) with irresistible fury. The crew consisted of 19 per sons and two passengers, a Mr. and Mrs. MiAlliston ; and the terror and confusion which Deigned among them, may be more easily conceived than describes.—. Three sailors, James Hamilton, William Thotnpson, and Alexander Hannah, lowered the jolly-boat, and getting into her pushed off from the vessel, leaving the rest of their shipmates to the horrible fate which seemed yawning before them. The second in ate in. scantly leaped into the sea, and swam towards the boat, with the intention of inducing the men to return; but they rowed away, and with an inhumanity almost unparalleled, heeded neither his entreaties nor the shouts which were sent after them from the vessel: finding his efforts vain, he returned to the brig. Every exertion now was used to get the long-boat overboara, but the fire having reached her, this was accomplished with difficulty. - As length she was launched, but not a single oar was to be found, the fellows in the jolly. boat having taken- three away with them. By this time the fire had reached the rigging, and was blazing furiously. A long pole was found, which was taken for an oar, and the boat, with IS hands on board, pushed off from the brig. As soon as the men in the jolly-bpat saw the others in the boa', they lay-to for them ; and taking the boat in tow, the whole of the people were landed about five o'clock yesterday (Mon. day) morning. The people lost the whole of their clothes, except what they had on. 40 min.part 4pal.—The vessel has this moment gone down. Her disappearance was very sudden ; the . smoke rose in a cloud as it does from a fire when a quantity of water is thrown upon it ; in a minute or two the smoke cleared away, and not a vestige could be seen of the Jessie. The boats returned about half past six ; and the men report, that they towed her in shore about three miles, and that she went down, St. Bees' Heads bearing E. by S. and Chapel Bank, N.E. i f N. distant from the harbour four miles. . . The story of is A Wife of Two Husbands" hash . * gone the round of the newspapers : we subjoin one of a different description :—About twenty-fire years ago, during the short peace, a young man, a tradesman iis good circumstances in London. went to Brighton, and tell in love with kyoung woman who lived as servant in the house where he lodged, and after a short court. ship he married her. Business soon after called him to France, where he was detained in consequence of the recommencement of hostilities till the return of peace, during the whole of which time his wife never heard from him, every letter having by some means miscarried. As. soon as peace was restored, he with much difficulty found means to return to England, and on making en quiries for his Jane, he found the was again married, and was living with her numerous offspring near the Devil's Dike. Notwithstanding these unpleasant tidings, he resolved once more to see her, and proceeded thither : he found her surrounded by her family, but the bloom of youth was gone, and the fair and sprightly Jane was lost in the coarse features of a rude rustic, and all around her proclaimed the reign of penury. Every fond idea be had so long cherished in his imagination at once vanished before the appalling conviction that Jane could never more be his. He recur ned to Brighton forlorn and broken-hearted, and -soon fell a sictina t , s despondency. A daughter which she had soon tatter he quitted her for France, has since laid claim to his pro- perty in London, which she has recovered, and now enjoys. The house of the once beautiful J .ne may still be seen from the top of the Dike-bill. Saturday, a fine little girl, about four years old, the daughter of a respectable tradesman,, of the name of MgDowst.c, in Dumfries, fell into a tub of hot water, and was so dreadfully scalded, that she - espired nest day. Last week, a young woman in the service of the Rev. Dr. Crux's:, of Kirkpatrick-Juata, was killed by failing on the sharp ead of the broken shaft of a rake, as she was sliding down horn the top oi. a haystack, which the had been building, and against which the rake Stood. On the .sth instant, as Mr. WILLIAUMNNAT, far mer, in Kervennee, was returteng from Wigtown. in Galloway, he was thrown from his horse, and did soon afterwards. • I , S i ) I t 5 i 4 1 t S 1 1 I 1 I
