Such gains, sys tematically obtained, are neither more nor less than t he fruits of robbery.

The Storthing having signified its desire to wait upon his I%fansrz to con- gratuhte him on his arrival, a deputation was ad mitted to the Royal presence, at the head of which rat the President CHRIsTIE, who addressed his MA JESTY in the following terms : 4 The Representatives of the Kingdom of Norway enjoy at this maim, a happiness which has been' the constant object of nun wishes; that of appearing before the King of the United Kagdom, act wekoming him on his entrance into the Capita l of Nergay. " Ile Stonhing would have wished to waft upon your Ma jesty by a Deputation on the frontiers of the Kingdom, but it , felt the necessity of accelerating by uninterrupted application, tie buiinus still in arrear, and to keep all the Members together u wawa of the repast:don of the Taxes which is now before than, " The Storthing therefore, convinced that your Majesty va,:d approve its conduct under these circumstances, have beta heed to give up the fulfilment of so agreeable a duty. " When the Sovereign Kings formerly visited Norway, the fiat:: were always filled with lively joy. How much greater are tablet must their joy now be, as they see in your Majesty a Lag reigning by the law, to whom they are chiefly indebted hither liberty; and to whom they look with confidence as the matt talus defender of their Independence.

HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER. " i receive with utisfartion the assurance of the sentiments itz even: they are the reward of the love which I feel for itt Norwegian people. " I have allowed the prolongation of your deliberations far hrizd the appointed time, that you might obtain a thorough itorkdge oldie nature and course of affairs, and thus be able of the difficulties by which Governments arc often im 6ain their measures, without say tenon to doubt the purity tither intentions Distrust leads to uncertainty and uturteadi hetk Which are the more injurious, as they cannot take place kit a the expense of the people's happiness.

Exchange on London, Aug. 20th-33. 4.-33. 7. • A Dutch Mail arrived hut night, from the Papers brought by which we have, given some extracts in another part of our Paper. We have received to-day a series of Kingston (Upper Canada) Gazettes, to the 14th of July. Our Readers were some time since informed of the -pro ceedings of a Provincial Convention which met at York on the 6th of July, when they resolved, instead of their original plan of sending Commissioners di rectly to England to state their grievances, to appoint a deputation to wait on the . new Governor, General MAITLAND, immediately on his arrival, with two Addresses, one to himself, and another for him to forward to the PRINCE REGENT. A Meeting of the " Upper Branch Convention" has since been held at Ancaster, on the 20th of July, at which several mea sures were adopted in furtherance of the general design. —The following are among the Resolutions passed, and we sincerely trust, that the firm, yet temperate spirit which they manifest, will have its proper effect in inclining the Provincial Authorities, as well as the Government at home, to grant the petitioners every reasonable and necessary satisfaction : " Resolved—That this Convention assembled for the de clared specific purpose of sending home a Commission to Eng land, with an Address to his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent, on the state of public affairs in this Province ; sees good reasons for departing from the prescribed course of proceeding— or„, at least, for delaying the execution of the plan of procedure first intended—Because, the appointment of the Duke of Rich. mond to be Governor in Chief of the Caned as, has generated bars whisk could have sprung from the appointment of no other individual whatever—Because, the people of this• Province are now so effectually roused to a just sense of the bad consequences of nial-admlnistratlon„and weak legislative proceedings, that when Parliament again meets, there is every hope, that, nar rowly watched by the public eye, its every motion will be guided and determined by better principles and more manly resolutions —that, in short, the virtue of Parliament will be braced and upheld by tke virtue of the people. " Resolved—That, under all circumstances, Members of thi s Convention conceived, they will best maintain their own honour and the interest of their constituents, by appointing a Depute. tion to wait on Sir P. Maitland, as soon as he arrives in this Province, to proceed, if deemed expedient, to meet him at Que. bec, to entreat a Conference with hint, and to present him with the printed principles and proceedings of this Cezveaticn, and of :ts supporters. " Resolved—That this Deputation shall bear two Petitions— one to his Royal Highness the Prince Re;ent, expressive of the loyalty and dutiful consideration of this Convention to the Royal dignity, and calling the Royal attention to the conduct of affairs to the land-granting department of Upper Canada, as well.= to the mune which his Royal Highness possesses, of relieving in deretli4 the grievances of claimants for sufferings by war, and of dsilida men, expecting promised lands—which Petition, the De puties shill beg of Sir P. Maitland to send home, and have preheated to the Prince, at his first public Levee, by such per son agar Perqrine ahall think proper to confide in. Resolved..-That the other petition shall be addressed to Sir Peregrine Maitland himself, as Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, praying Mtn to call Parliament togeth:r as speedily as *dbl., that enquiry into the state of the Province may be instituted." Happily for the vegetable world, copious but gentle showers have prevailed all last night and this day around the metropolis. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE has left Hanover, on a tour to the Hartz. We are sorry to state that Major FITZCLARENCE had a change for the worse, and was not so well yesterday as he had been for some days past.

HISTORICAL ACCURACY.—A recent German tra veller in England has published his tour, in which he states, that the English Physicians alway:, wear black, and sometimes swords; that all the Opposition eat boiled beef; and that a Tory dinner-table is distin• guished by little rolls, while the Whigs shew their sturdiness by uncouth lunches of bread ! THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—WE have much pleasure in noticing by an Advertisement in our Pa per of this day the spirit with which that excellent miscellany the New Monthly Magazine proceeds, and it is but an act of justice towards towards the Con ductors to remark, that this Miscellany has fully justified the high claims of its projectors, who an nounced their intention of rendering it—" a Theatre for discussions on every subject that can interest the human mind ; an asylum fcr the fugitive produc tions of Genius and Fancy ; a Register of every No velty in the Arts, Sciences, and Letters ; in a word, a complete Record and Chronicle of the Times, equally acceptable to the Scholar and the Philosopher, to the Linn of leisure and. the man of business."—To friends and relations abroad we know of no publication that can prove so acceptable, and doubt not that the com mencement of a new Volume will induce many per sons to become Subscribers to a Miscellany at once so cheap and valuable. 4tiit. , 4; The Quzztes disorder, tqx,to a late hunriyesterdaY, appeared ritheettAncrease than otherwise: She suf fered much pain; gad was in an almost total incapa city of motion.

Yesterday a Danish frigate passed through the Downs from the Westward ; name not ascertained. By private letters received by the Nereide, Capt. Nut., from Trinidad, which contain accounts from Angustura to the latter end of July, we learn that the state of the Patriot cause is truly distressing in that quarter. They are totally destitute of money, clothing, or provisions; and the Officers that left this country with the prospect of great future welfare, are now without one penny, or any means of returning. The troops are very discontented at their situation, and hundreds are daily deserting and joining the flag of the Spaniards. The vessels which went from Europe with merchandize for the service of the Pa triotic Army, with strong recommendations from parties in this country, can get neither money nor produce in return.

Two heads of battle-axes have also been lately' dug up near the Roman way upon the fell, of rather peculiar construction. They are composed of copper and brass, and very entire, and in shape somewhat resembling the head of the tomahawk used by the American savages. topiAii Ojiiiiizsi iiiiiifiii; Last night this begutirul Theatre mai lighted tii . for the purpose of exhibiting its improvements Since the last season. The bold have been newly painted and gilt, and present throughout an appearance of chaste interesting splendout. There is nothing taw.; dry, while there is no want of richness. We were peculiarly_ strtia by the improved distribution of light. That upon the Stage, and especially the foot-light, -which it entirely from oil, is calculated to render the sterierY and perforinance more distinctly visible, without any degree of dazzling Or annoying the perforiners. The gas-light in front has been con= siderably improved. By the removal of the chande4 Heti on each side of the stage, and the substitution of lamps at the back of the based for the chandeliers in front, the audience as relieved from the glare of ' Halt which was sb m uc h comp l a i ne d o f duria, the last - season. The great chandelier suspended i'rera the'centre of the house now emits a mild steady light, which is wholly free from any offensive smell or dis. agreeable heat, in consequence of the improved sys tem of ventilation. That immense blaze of light, which foreigners especially objected to in the au , - thence part of our theatres, is totally removed in the new arrangement of Covent Garden. Those who go to a theatre to see the audience may comp!r.in of this arrangement, but we venture to think that those who go to enjoy the performance will be highly gratified br the.fliange. There were several new scenes exhi bated, and among'them, we particularly admired the drop scene with that of the cartoons and the garden.

PUGILISM EXTRAOILDLIAIST:—..teMeLd3T a carman, of giganti4 strength and stature, was punished with a severe drubbing, by a young gentleman in those respects greatly his inferior. The gentleman was turning out of Chaneery-isne into Fleet -street, in a gig drawn by a very spirited horse. The carman was paseiq at the time, and purposely drove the dray so as rot only to in iure the Fig, but to endanger the safety of the driver. The young gentleman remonstrated with him on his conduct, :.:•4 was replied to by the most brutal abuse, accompanied wi:h a stroke of the whip. Ile had soon, howcvei, cause to repent ef his ruffianly conduct, for the gentleman, dismcnntlnE frcrn vehiile, and giving his horse in charge to a by-stander, gave his unweildy opponent so severe a drubbing, that he was glad to cry out for quarter, having been completely deprived of his sight, and his countenance in other respects be:ring ample testimony to the punishment he had so deservedly received fcr his brutal conduct.
