" This morning we perceived the signals that the boats from Calais were out; and all the foul craft got under way for the porpore of interiamll4l and preventing their junetion with the reef& at Boulogne.- After a great deal of firing, both *M. the (bore and our gnu-reffels, the French anchored w here I taw the flat boats laft evening.

Yefterday the Purfers belonging toalte Honou rable Company's Chips the Lady Jane bundas and Belga], arrived at the India-Honfe nth their dif patches from the Governor-General of Bengal. The above chips with the Lady Burges Earl-India. man, at prefent in the Cove of Cork, will fail for the Downs as foon as they get a convoy. Yefterday a Court of Diredors of the EaR India Company was held at the India Houk; when the following Commanders attended, and took their leave of the Court, prcvious to theirbeingdifpatch ed, according to their refpedive col l / 4 9gnments, viz.

SINCLAIR, of the Caleddhian, General Stuart, Monarch, and Ann, for Madras; Captains MITCHELL and BAUER, of the Sovereign and Northampton, for Bombay ; and Captain ANDRIW GRIEVE, of the Princefs Mary, for St. Helena and Bengal. Before the Revolution there were in Paris 34 Printers ; their prefent number amounts to 3 8 5• Lail week a private in the Oxford Militia, quar tered at Briftol,fucked fuch a quantity of rum out of a puncheon, landed on the Quay, by means of a (haw, as to occafion his death next day. Yeflerday and-the day before a great number of fhips arrived at moorings in the nver from Den-' mark, Sweden and Ruffia. The crews of feve ral of the fhips detained in confequence of the em• bargo in the latter country, Rate that they were marched a confiderable way into the country, where the cold was fo extremely intenfe as, with the effel of bad provifions, to occafion the death of many of the prifoners. During their long march, they add, that they were wholly deprived of the benefit of any fire, and feveral of them had IoR their toes and fingers by the feverity of the i frog. Since their liberation they experienced, however, every degree of humanity and kindnefs from the Government, and their treatment on their return to their Rations was highly honour able to the Ruffian nation. We hear from Bengal, that the Barracks and military Bungaloos on the banks of the Jurgah Nullak, about a quarter of a cols from the Ganges, in the vicinity of Chunar, and which had been but jult repaired at an enormous expcnce, have been nearly deltroyed by an unexpated overflow of the rivers. A letter from Bombay lays, tome of the moil powerful Chieftains of the banditti in the PoHams have made their fubmillion to the Company's Col ledors of the adj a cent diftriets, and the Ryotts arc are again returning to their deferted villages. A quantity of very valuable land has been ob tained in the Soubah of that Prefidency, in confe quence of a clearance of the Sunderbunds, or the woods. Its extent is laid to be equal to the Prin cipality of Wales. This place affords an inexhauf tible (tore of timber proper for boat-building. All political difquifition, we underftand, is &idly forbidden at Manilla. The Chinefe mer chants have been driven away through the jealou fy of the Spanifh Government. The reftridions throughout the neighbouring Wands have caufed moR of the neeeffaries of life to rife to an enor mous price. The people are raid to have become ferioufly difaffeded to the Government, which is Rated to uphold itfelf by very prompt meafures. At the celebration of the annual Mahornmedan feftival, called "hyistra, on the sgth January, in the neighbourhood of Myfore, fome very ferious difturbances took place between the mob of Fa quirs and the inhabitants, in confequence of which meeting with fome obftrudion in one of the prin cipal ftreets, the devotees concluded that a plot had been laid to interrupt them in their religious du ties; and with all the zeal of mifguided enthufi. arm, drew their fwords on the populace ; mall'acre, riot, and confufion enfued, till the miltary were called in, when order was happily reftored. Go vernment has confulted fome of the principal Ma hommedana with refpeet to the abolition of this feftival ; but received for anfwer, that nothing fhould ever induce them to forego a cuftom en joined by the founder of their faith, the negled of which muft &Ned them to infamy in this world, and perdition in that which is to come. It was eftirnated in 1792, that the paper circu lation of this country was about thirty millions.— If fo, it mull be much greater at prefent, as the means are fo much increafed, and as the circula tion of Englifh Bank-notes, that ufed to extend all over England, is now principally confined to Lon , don. The neceffity of finding out an employment for this increafed quantity of imaginary capital, mull naturally produce the etre& that the affignats produced in France, and paper money in Americas and thole Who pollefs them will board up real value of any fort, in older to gain by railing the price. In the years 1791 and 1792, every ware. houfe in France was leaded with corn, coffee, (ti ger, and fuck articles as are of a certain elite and ready Pale. The prices role in the mida of abundance • and it was not till the fyfiem of the Maximum man, that mirth was obtained. The French had recourfe to the Maximum to totteteroa the yfea of a Pater, the quantity of which hatreofed every day, toe I which a was oat of their power to knit or efitetiteift ; but in this country we have another, an tidier, and a mote equitable meafure, which is, to prevent that enormops quantity of fiCtitious money from continuing to circulate, to the advantage of a few, and the ruin of the many. Were individuals not affeeed by the high prices which this inundation of paper creates, the Govern ment itfelf is a lofer of leveret millions a year, by additional* expence in viaualling the Navy, and buying every fort of fibres. Add to this, that as every thing keeps pace with expence of living, the expenditure In every department is increafed. In every view, then, that can be takcri of the matter, it is become neceiTary for the Legiflature to interfere, and limit the iffues of paper by pri vate Banks, and to take fuch precautions as will keep it within bounds, at the fame time rendering it folid and fah to the Public. 'CORN-MARi ETS. At Kendal market, laf Saturday, the average price of oats by the load (.7- Wincheller Whets) was 48s.—Beft American and other wheat flour, Gs. 4d. per (lone of 161b—Oatmeal 4.5. 4d.—ln dian meal as. 64.

Fine ft Wheat was about 58s. per coomb, (or r rs. per quarter) none fold above 60'. Very fine Rye and Oats, of this year's growth.— The former 33s the latter 125.10 15S. per coomb. On Tuefday lad there were entered inwards, at the cultom-houfe, 28,960 quarters of wheat, and 6,490 quarters of oats. That fpeculation generally comas itfelf, is proved by the late fall in Hops. Many dealers, who refufed 161. have lately fold them at 51. The profecutors of Mr. WADDINGTON have probably done him fome fervice : had he not been irnprifon ed, he would have encreafed his fpeculative pur chafes. A meeting is to be held of the county of Mon mouth, to take into confideration the propriety pf petitioning Parliament for an at to oblige the fell ing of wheat and all other grain, as well as pots. toes and turnips, by eveight inflead of meafure. The Committee at Cambridge, for the relief bf the poor of that neighbourhood, has diaributed amongft them 13,000 bufhels of potatoes, 39,4bt red herrings, aft,too faked ditto, ao,soolbs. of cod-fifli, 3.Bsalbs. of Scotch barley, 7oco lbs. of rice, tog buffiels of pear!, and 37 chaldrons of cbals.

The following is a fingular inflame of prejudice fubmitted to by the Emperor of China: The mul. titude under the dominion of this Sovereign have, from the earlieft ages, confidered a Solar tapfe as inisioosu of tome general adawsitl ; and as reat pains are taken to inf)ire them with a belief that their profperity is owing to the wifdom and virtue of their Sovereign, to they are tempted to attribute to tome deficiency on his part whatever they think portentous. To this inconvenient error the Em peror himfelf finds it prudent to accommodate his conduit. He never ventures on any undertaking of importance at the approach of Inch an eclipfe, but affeCts to withdraw bimfelf from the pretence of his courtiers, to examine ftrialy intohis late ad miniftration of the Empirc, in order to corrett any error, for the commiffion of which the eclipfe may have been an admonition ; and he invites his qubjeas to offer him freely their advice.
