Letters have been received at Glafgow•, from Duf- feldorf, dated the 7th infant. by which it appears, that the French are determined to feize Britifh ma nufatures through every part oflavaria. A French euftorn-houfe officer, with a number of affiftants, had reached Duffeldorf on the sth. and immediately in filled on examining and taking away books and let ters belonging to the merchants, and wifhed to feize Britifh goods, although no prohibition againft them had then been made in that country. It is farther Anted, that a large waggon was feized by the French officers, on the road near Balk, upon the territory of the Eleaor of Baden. The officers opened the packages, and took with them all Britilb manuf•e cured goods. His plans are not, however, conned to fuch modes of attack as we have jut fated.

Mutual app. logics took place, and the affair terminated to aiet honour of both parties. On the nth infl. a meeting took place near R:in. nell Houle, between two Gentlemen, owing-no es mifunderflanding which had taken place the c.reced. log evening; but, owing to the friendly interference lit the leconds, and fame other gentlemen, the mat. was made up without blondlbed. • The Law Affociation have come to a refolution to addrefs their late Colonel, Lord Easaise, on the attention fo uniformly difplayed by his Lordfhip due. ing the whole of the time he commanded that re. fpalable corps. No focceffor to his Lqrdfhip will be appointed until the nutlet of Mr. Wiromaat's plan, in refpeft to the Volunteer Ellabblhrnent, (hall be ro, golarly made known. On Monday lift the Stafford Volunteers, toms manded by Colonel FinilToll, were infpated by the General of the Diftrid. The regiment was drawn up in a large common field, near the town, and mut tered about Soo. The men went through their evo lutions with wonderful precifion ; and the General etpreffed great fatisfalion at their foldier-like and Ready conduct, and paid the Colonel a high compli ment on the difeipline of his regiment. An elegant entertainment was provided for the cork:4 of Officers, and principal inhabitants of the town. The 4th dragoon guards, at Edinburgh, have get their route for Mancheller and Liverpool. They are to be replaced at Edinburgh by the id dragoons. On Tuefday, a divilion of the 111 regiment of Drop goons (or Royals) marched into Bury St. Edmund's. and will be followed by the others in rotation, on their route for Scotland. The Ealllndia Recruits in the depot at Parkhurft, as well as nearly rsob for the King's Regiments. embarked on board the fleet for India on fuefdal morning. Shocking as the account may appear, but true it is, that no lefs. than feven foldiers have. dtittn,yed themfelves in the ! fie of With.t; within theft tea days, by drinking spirits—.one, lamentable to fay, was an officer. At the Commitlion in Dublin on Tkurfday four men received !entente of death for ear inns lob. belies. At two o'clock on Sunday morning a quantity o f fmoke was perceived diming from the lower part of the houfe of the Rev. Dr. Carr, No. 19, Upper Berkeley.flreet, and on alarming the family it was difeovered that the premifes were on fire. The flames at firlt fpread rapidly, confiderable fears were enter tained fur the &fey of the perfons in the bottle, who, h-wever, happily cleaned. Soon after till. fortunate circunidance the whole of the hutile was in flames, and it was in a [hurt time totally demolithed. The (tables of Sir John Lade were rimmed near the back of Dr. C;rr's houfe, but a pkntiful fupply of water and the exertions of the firemen, prevented the flames Pons communicating thither. The attempt that has been made by fome indif creet individuals in the American Congrefs to carry throng% a violent law refpeeing the protection of American feamen, will probably be (touted by the (ober and conliderate. Such new ideis in Legitlation can hardly receive any countenance fr6m thole who know the real Rite of the quellion c and if there be any individuals on earth who cannot plead igno. ranee as an teak for Intemperanee. it Is the Ame cleans thetnfelves. -It may be true - that tome in, dividuals, who Were born in America, have been im .prcired.into• our fereice ; but, where does the blame lye ? Is there a fingle American alive who doe. pot know that every artifice is employed to naturalize, as ~bey call it, all the Britifh feamen whom they can per. (wade Co to difgrace themfelves : as if an American certificate could convert a born Briton into any thing site than a Briton. If no aft of a Britifh failor, in ti, Britifh bottom, can give him an exemption from ' being called upon to fight the battles of his country; will it ever be conceded to America, to rufpend or interdict the poiier.which Britain has over her own native born children ?—No, no. If there be any real cattle of coniptiinis n it is on,our fide. Let America abandon the nefarious fytlem bhich has led to the impreffing of feameh from American bottoms. At Icianinety.nine nut of every hundred feamen fo im preffed have been Britifh-born feamen, and againß the Otie Ilia hundred that may have been taken by mil. take, It would be eafy to prove that a much greater number has been difhonourably fkreened and pro tefted by falfe and forged certificates of American citizenfhip. The American Gcvernment is well am quainted with thole falts, and therefore we cannot believe will encourage or countenance violent ' and hall) , proceedings The whole of this import ant queßion, however, will probably. loon come into difcuffinn officially between the two countries ; arid we have nu doubt that, while on the one hand, prompt redrefs will be given for real injuries, not a jot will be relied of tilde rights which this counts y has always aliened and ezercifed as jun to wards others, and of ential to its own prefervation. Friday Lord It/DesnaLa intimated in the Irifli Court of Chancery, that he wr , uld henceforth nnly hear Inch cattle. as have been in part dirt:oiled before him, and loch motions as were of a peremptory na ture,as his continuance in office c.arld pot be of long duration.
