The visit is made by the c..mmercial refident, attended by a party of troops, Orambeos, Coora-Cooras, and Prows, to the num ber of about too, armed with two, three, and four pounder-guns. In this vifitation caufes are heard, orders are iffued, And Juilice Is adrninl tiered *rough out the ifiands." A private letter from Canton Pays, " The new EMPEROR IS particularly partial to the Englilh, a circumilance which the Mandarins readily allow to have originated with the Emboli . ) , of Lord MA CARTNEY; indeed, the favourable impreffions left by that great Statefman on the minds of the Chi lade are every day more apparent. China goods are at leafi 20 per cent. cheaper than they have been before, and money is reprefented to be ingreat abundance." A private letter lately received from Bombay, fa)s, " A very considerable trade is now carried on with the king& mof Siam. The cotton pro duced at this place is found to be of an excellent q lality. It is very remarkable, that the women are the only merchants in buying goods, the men being generally maintained by the indullry of their wives. _ _ The harbour of Trincomale, feated on the Eat fide of the iflind of Ceylon, is reckoned the bet and fincli in the Eaft Indies, and is now a general refort for our thipping in thole teas. We underfland that a 4reat quantity of fine hemp has been colleaed at Ceylon ; it grows prin cipally in Candy, and much attention is paid to the growth of this article, which will form a new fubjetl of exportation. It has been recently afcertained, that in the Chit tagong difirietsthere are plantations of remarkably large opuntias, trees on which the cochineal ink& is fed and propagated ; and it is imagined, that st cr.; tilde trees carefully fupplied with this inlet, cochineal of excellent quality might be produced. The fubjea is, however, referred - to the Board of Trade. _ _ _ _ A letter kat received from Bengal lays, " MIA of the We.ivers, who conttituted the wealth and fopport of the great trading town of Mouneabund, have fled into the litinkeah country, and claimed the protalion of the R spit, who from motives of policy, entertains them in his capital, and allows them extenfive privileges.

The adlreft of Young Men confifts in deceiving Women ; the addr i li of Old Men in beirg deceived by them. With a Courtier, addrefi is the art of convenient fubmifiGon. With a Woman, diflimulation ; with a Coquet—being now compl)ing, now repulfive. With a Man of Intrigue it is cunning,and with an Ambitious Man, policy. The cuklreff of a Parafite is (hewn in accidentally dropping in at the hour of dinner ; and the addrefe of moll Debtors is to can ceal theiraddnyi from their Creditors! On Monday evening next we find, in addition to that excellent Pantomime The Eclipfe, or Harle quin in China, at the ROYAL CIRCUS, St. George's.

BLACKHEATH SWINDLER.—The celebrated Mils Robertfon, in imitation of many former great per fonages, has lately publifhed an otology for her con duCt, including fume revere Rrietures on the cha rafter of thole individuals who, .unfortunately for themfelves, had the audacity to accufe the fair authorefs of what is vulgarly termed dilhonefly or fwindling. The °Nat of the publication is two fold, to do away any unfavourable impreffions re fpeCting her which the late aelion againt Creafy might have produced, and to mile money for the fupport of the affeEtionate and friendly Mifs Sharpe, who, as the was the companion of her fplen dour, has generoufly been a partaker of her humi liation and (offerings. The work is not exaftly of the highefl literary merit, nor do we think the au thorefs will make as much noife in the world as a writer as (he did in the charaeter of a rich heirefs. It bears very palpable marks of being the produc tion of a mind confiderably diftempered, and it is not eafy to determine whether it abounds moll in methodiftical cant, affelted myflery, unmeaning, though moll lcurrifous abufe ; or in the ufe of figures, unparalleled for extravagance or abfur day'. The whole pamphlet is little better than one continued (train of this wild fpecies of in veCtive againft all thole perfons who unfortu nately had dealings with hcr, all who have fincc had any accefs to the place of her confinement, the jailor who has her under his care, and, in a word, a val . & number of people in the neigh bourhood of her imprifonment. It feems that Mr. Oakley, by removing the furniture from her houfe, firft difclofed her real chary hcr, and against him the principal torrent of her abide is direileJ. She is very indignant at the jailor, who (flue lays) has been in the - habit of getting large firms of mo ney by (hewing her to a number of people from the neighbouring places; and threatens him, as well as a number of other perfons who have treated her with incivility, with the direful effects of her difpleafure at a future period. She talks indeed throughout the work very big of the redreli (he expects to 00. tarn againfl her prefent perfecutors. The newfpa pens the devotes to the moll exemplary punifh ment, and in her peculiarly elegant phrafeology, (he obferves, " Let their tongues beware, or they may be blown down their throat by the foul air." Doll thou apprehend, gentle leader, whence this foul air is to proceed? If not, we would have thee to know that it is to iffue from a canna" which this intrepid heroine is now preparing for their dame- tion! We hear a good deal of the people who are to aid her in this great work of vengeance,and among thefe a Mr. Robinfon, who lives near Edinburgh, and a Mr. Cunningham, now in Egypt, arc par ticularly t tdiltinguilh thcinfelve. Her charstaer is to he freed from the finallett implitation of dirt honefty. She is to appear in the amiable form of persecuted virtue, and her fame, inffead of being diminifhed by this temporary cloud which obfcures its Ware, is, (to ufe one of her own beautiful limi lies) " like the fnow bail to gather b) rolling." Nor does the confine herfelf wholly to what relates to her own concerns, but with that warnifil of friendihip which is rrer found in ,rod hearts, ti,. accufes her cred•tors sri , h skit auding Mifs Sharpe , of property to a large amount, anti leas ing this " hon!uir and ornon:ent of i;scier y" zo la ognith in indicent... and tattnrity. :I"cr exhautlisic her dock of wildnefs and emir, Pie couclud••s by "lea% ing her caul is the hands of that Goo j;•ig eth .„,h.eouily, And who will avcot- !- :.- hcr mak! .

The ToWn Pl.ite of 501. afforded yetterdNy nioß excellent diverfion. High Odds werebetted before Ranting againft Sir Sidney. Dotterel! and Egham were the two favourites; the latter Horfe was deeply backed by his Grace the Duke of QEEs S. BERRY, though he did nothing. Sir Sidney won the firtt Heat eafy; Dotterel! the fecond. Dotterel! se as admirably rode by young CHIFFNR Y. All the Horfes paired the Diftance Pod the fecond Heat clofe together.—Dotterel! then 1:11 the whip, which he anfwered fa readily, that he won by a length, and appeared fo frefh that three to one were betted he won the Plate. At Ranting for the Third Heat Fgham made the Play, and kept the /part for a mile. He was then patted by Sir Sidney and Dotterel!, who run neck and neck till within two hundred yards of the winning Polt, when DENNY, who rode Sir Sidney, made a putt, and came in winner by ball a length. In fpite of the (bowery appearance of the weather the Courfe was numeroufly and fafhionably attended. Lady Howe fported an elegant coach and four, his Grace of Qy EtNs- BERRY a landau and fix, and curricles were almoft innumerable. A defcendant of Fi'ch was appre hended in the ad of attempting a quick transfer of A gold watch, and received the cetemony ab lution, which he bore with becoming refignatiun. Mr.Dußasincluring the week has won three Plates; one by John o'Groat, fince . purchafed by his Royal Highnefs the PRINCE of WALES, and two by Sir Sidney. SPORTING ARV:OOI'I.-I'u POR, who was mlny years game keeper to Sir H. Mit DM AY, in Hamp (hire, adually broke in a fpayed black tow to find game, back and Rand, as haunch as any pointer, which he called Slat, and (hot a confiderable quan tity of same to her. Slut Was otherwife very laga. eious ; for, one day, by way of trial, the was de- tired to find Tupor in the mid(t of a crowd, and (he inftantly made her way betwixt the legs of a number of perfons, until the reached her matter, after whole deceafe (he was fold by audion for a confiderable fum. Tupor had as fine an eye as his pig had a nofe, for he was an extraordinary trot; he would hit a cricket ball Stith a bullet from a fowling-piece, when bowled with the great eft velocity, and at a confiderable didance. During the fhort vitit the Duke of BEDFORD re cently paid to the PRINCE, at Baightoti, he one evening paffed the outfide of the Promenade, at ai time one of the performers WAS tinging; and (lop ping for a moment to linen to the tong, a man hallily made up to him, and atrured him, that if hc pleafed, he would put him over the !salin e : for Hulling if he thought proper, as hc had A lais'er hard by, obferving, that it would be afay."og of •s. 6d. for if he went in at the door, it would coil him 35. 6d. which in theft herr bard Fine., was more than every perfon could afford. His Grace kindly thanked him for his civility, obferving that he would prefently fend a few friends who might be inclined to profit by his pat: kirk offer ; hut the tallow fearing the ottcers of juflice might be feat to the fpot, thought proper to decamp. It ap peared he had carried on this prs'lice with con fiderahle fuccefs for a long time.
