It has already beta established, that England was justified is 'fleeting Agents to watch deer the strict fulfilment of the obligations contracted by that Treaty. U the lawful vigilance of her Oa; eets so appointed was the real occasion of their ignominious fate, the remaining duty of this Government is broad aud manifest. If the Indians, whom we were bound by treaty as well as by justke and humanity to protect, require our prom?: and efficient protection, to save them from being dispossessed, and pursued, and cater.ainated, the duty of L'ngLand, in that case, is equally clear. We make no charge of negligence upon Ministers—we infer none. Vie trust they have not failed in that satred owes of maintaining the national honour and good faith to those on whose behalf they were pledged. But again we repeat, these eases mut be investigated; and Parliament must know, and the country must be satisfied, that British subjects and Bridals allies are not to be oppressJd in the dark, and with impunity.' ' It may be interesting to many in England to know, that it is stated, on good authority, that the three millions of re:des, which have been allotted to Great Britain out of the sum agreed to be paid by France, in name of Indemnities, will be more than sufficient by 500,000, to pat all the admitted claims of Bri tish subjects. We have frequently remarked that the Continental Powers were acting on BoNAennyeasystem of ex clusion, to the prejudice of Britis4 interests. We have done much for them, but they are not willing to do any thing for us. They will take our money,' in the shape of loans, to any extent; but they oppose the introduction of our manufactures by exacting the most oppressive duties. Nothing but an utter igno rance of the - true principles of commercial policy can ' dictate such conduct. In attempting to injure the trade of Britain, thty are, in fact, striving to destroy their own. Experience alone must teach them_ and it will only be when they find a retrogression in the productive powers of labour, that they will discover the errors pf their system. We are led on the pre sent occasicas into these remarks, by an Ukase which has just been issued by the Emperor of RUSSIA, by which English woollen cloths are charged with a tran sit duty of five hundred copecks, whi:e those of Prussia are charged no more than 120 copecks per archine. —The consequence of this Edict will be to cut up entirely the sale of Yorkshire cloths, which has been hitherto very considerable throughout the Russian Empire. Sach is its effect, that even already nume rous vessels are daily arrivirtg from Stettin and other Prussian ports, at Petersburgh, filled with cloths of Prussian manufacture. The conduct of Russia in giving this preference, is as impolitic as it is un— fair. The market of Great Britain is the :not im portant of any in the world to Russia, because , the consumption of the most valuable of her products depends upea the extent of our shipping, which far exceeds that of any other country; and it ought to be the of Russia to cultivate its esmnsereial relations with this country by every act of fair reci procity in its power.

Wednesday . night, as Mr. ELIA% a pilot, was pro ceeding along Tooley-street, he was suddenly sur rounded by a gang of five or six fellows, who hustled him, and robbed him of his pocket-book, which coa -1 tined several Bank Notes, his Pilot's Warrant, and other documents. The Duke of WZI.LINOTON has become a dis dnguished Collector of Pictures. He his lately made many valuable acquisitions on the Continent, parti. cularly in the FleoiisA School. His Gr ice has desired that a Gallery forthe reception of Pictures may form a principal featuteln the Mansion to be erected en his Parliamentary Estate. A private letter from Dresden, says—" I stated in my former communication, that the whole Saxon army, including the King's body gnarl, is limited to 10,000 men, five thousand of are u::It the Army of Occupation on the French frontiers, so that the total number of troops in the interior of Saxony is 5,000. The King of Saxony is the idol of his people, and deeply do they lament the abridgment of his power, or, I should rather say. his rights.— Other Monarchs, who violated their faith and their honour during the last war, has c been more gene rously dealt with. The Prussian at my consists of 400,000 men, and a considerable part of this army must be incessantly upon the alert to suppress and keep down the spirit of discontent which prevails in, the North of Germany—it lives, however, like the lava in the bowels of Vesuvius. The fortresses of Dresden arc all dismantled, and, except the grand fortress of Koniz,stein, perhaps the most impreg nable in Europe, she has no power of resistance left in her dominions." CAUTION TO PUBLICA::S.—The Bar of the Lion and Key public-house, Tooley-street, was last week robbed in the night time of a sum of money in Bank notes, and a silver watch, chain, and seals, which the daughter of the landlady had taken charge of for a gentleman and lady, lodgers in the house.— Information was immediately, on discovery of the ,robbery, given to the Bank, and one of the notes I was afterwards paid in, and traced to the coach-office in Basing-lane, where it had been paid for a price in the coach to Bri,tol. The person who committed the robbery is supposed to have been a man dressed in the habit of a sailor, who lodged in the house on the night of the robbery. CntotEr.—A return match of Cricket was played on Kennington Common on Wednesday last, between the Gentlemen of the Saturday's Kennington Club, and the Gentlemen of the Blackheath Club, when the latter Gentlemen won easy, having five wickets to go down, when they were declared the winners. JEMMY, AUGUST B.—The harvest in this island is now nearly over. The quantity of apples is beyond almost what has been ever known, as well in France as in these islands. Melons are abundant in the mar itet, and grapes of a large size and rich flavour were sold last week for 2s. per pound. Great quantities of plums arrive daily from France, retailed from one penny to two pence the dozen. The Southampton traders that arrive weekly from England are loaded with passengers like Gravesend boats. The passen gers make these islands their way to France. This morning a small vessel sailed for Grandville with fifty passengers, English, French, and some inhabi tants of this island, who are going to the peat fair of Gitibray, which begins on Monday week. This fair is attended by people from all parts of France, with merchandize of all descriptions, cattle, &c. and lasts fourteen days. Irousars.—An•lnquest was yesterday held on the body of Mr. J.

Le. rneoIIDINAItYDUct..—A pessenger who arrived by the Auckland packet at Harwich, on the 12:h in ;cant, gives the following account of a Joel, which was fought tivo days previous to the sailing of the packet from Cuxhaven. Two young men, sons of diopkeepers there, were rivals in a young woman's affections, and quarrelled on her account. They met on the Quay, each armed with a musket, without seconds ; they fired by a signal, given by a boy beat. ing a drum, at thirty yards distance; one of them was shot through the head, and instantly expired : the survivor immedietely absconded. RIFLE Sitoorreo.—The Achotrometerian Society fired for their Gold Medal on Monday, at Worm wood Scrubs. There was some excellent shooting. Captain FORMAN, howevet, won the Prize with a;5- parent easy in a target of 28 inches in diameter.— Oet of eighteen shots, nine froth the shoulder, and nine from the rest, he put in fifteen : at 200 yards, four cut of six ; at 250 yards, Bee out of s:x ; and ot 900 peels, all six, two of which were bull's eyes.— This may, indeed, be called sharp-shooting! M. COMTE'S PURLIC Exutatrioto—Last night COMTE, %%hose extraordinary performances I slight of hand in presence of the Pr suers REGENT were much applauded, made a public exhibition of his skill, by de sire of several of the Nobility, In the Concert•roern Of the Opera House. The first part of the perform ante consisted of an exact imitation of, and air 7ryia • • provement upon, the different tricks of the three In dian Jugglers, by one young Frenchman, wier was dressed in imitation of a Hindoo. These 111cks are so well known as to need no description. Ile lettualle passed a small-sword blade into his • stomach, and - danced about with a part of it appearing from I.ls mouth. But inelte art of causing a rapid circular. motion with three and four balls, passed alteraattlx under and over each other, and exchanged from OA hands, he was certainly unrivalled, and drew flith unbounded applause. the second and third pal:, of the evening's entertainments were pc:-f rmcd 'OMTE alone.' ite'clenomitiatecl them . " Gana Me - - dianical and Pky.ii•;al Games a nd Dercptions," though nag a very correct description, left. little to he • imagined as to the nature of tine exhibition. I/0 caused a large piece to be cut out of the . middle of a can'thrie • handkerchief, which Was apparodly the same he had obtained from:4 Lady in the boxes. He put hi: head and leg through the hole, burnt the piece cut out • on the serge, then blew on the handkerchief, .4.14 • delivered it in a peifect state back to the °weer—. a He took a piece of bleirk paper, on which he desi.ed * several of the company in the boxes and pit to wins • a few words. The last person who wrote on it he dee sired to burn it, which he did in the presence of all who had signed it. Shortly afterwards he gave a seal ed packet to one of the audience, who opened it, and •: after destroying about twenty envelopes, he arrived at the paper which contained the writing, and it was acknowledged by all who had wrote on rt. He sheer ed an empty vase, and pretended to put some seeds in it to vegetate : ,he then solicited several of the LI. dies to ask for any particular flowers, according to their fancy, all of which he produced in abtmdauce, and handed to them from the vessel. But the most extraordinary trick of all was, a compound one, which closed the evening's performance. A square mahogany box, which had previously been shev.n and contained nothing, was locked, tied over, aid the string sealed in the face of all the company.-- A large decanter was then handed round, ithica :w contained nothing, but hiving a sort of mitred se i - per capable of holding in its nip a pack cf card:. The box being placed on the table, the decanter on that, and the cards stuck in the stopper, each per-,: 15 who had thought of a card described it, to the num ber, perhaps, of a dozen, when thecards respectively rose up above the rest of the pack as they were men tioned. It is needless to say that the whole perfore mance (exited the highest applause and admiration. We have only to add, that he gave occasionally some admirable specimens of vchtrilognism, superior to any we ever witnessed. He rcerssented the voices of • several persons, supposed to be holding a conversa tion in different parts of a house, in which the effect of distance, and high and low tones, was particularly striking. M. Cohere is a middle-aged person of a very gentlemanly appearance ; but he is, unluck:le, almost entirely ignorant of our language.--A ye: y numerous audience witnessed M. Cs. performance, which they greatly applauded. The French Arra:re • sador and suite, Lord YARMOUTH, and many other individuals of distinction, v:eie present. CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, AUGUST 14.
