~~~ IP". 7 , , • •Ar BEA LT ORDER OF THE HONOURABLE THE comits sioNr.Rs OF EXCISE. WHEREAS on the Morning of Saturday, the trf this month, Mr. HASTIE, Mate, along with a boat's crew of the Earl Moira Revenue Cutter, when proceed ing to witch a Smuggling Lugger, then lying off Wile soy Island, on the coast of Shetland, were violently deforced and resisted by the Smugglers, who kept up upon them a heavy and desttue tive fire of musketry, by which one seaman was killed, and two severely wounded; the COMMISSIONERS of EXCISE., anxious that so daring a violation of the law should not pass un punished, hereby intimate, that any Person who shall give in formation that may lead to the discovery of one or more of the actual perpetrators of the above Outrage and Murder, shall, upon the conviction of the Offender or Offenders, receive a Re ward of ONE HUNDRED POUNDS STERLING. The Smuggling Lugger is a long low vessel, half-decked, and built on the same model with the Deal gables, which she re. sembles also in the stern. She is of a remarkably slight build, her timbers not being mach thicker than those of a common boat. She is painted of a lead-colour, waved across, so that when lying with her sails lowered down, she is so much of the colour of the sea as to be undistinguishable at a little distance. She has only one top-mast upon h r main-mast, upon which she sets a very large square top-sail flying. She pulls twelve or fourteen sweeps occasionally ; her rigging is cot rattled. She appears to be a new vessel, and her tails and rigging are also new. Iles cargo, which consisted of smuggled gin, tea, and tobacco, was covered ov,r with black tarpawliugs. The lugger ' had been hovering for eight days on the east part of the coast. Th, person supposed to he her Master is a stout middle-sized man, full-faced, with dark eyes and black whiskers. Ile' wore' a blue dunk jacket and trowsers on the day the deforcement and murder were committed. Smile of the crew wore dirty duck frocks. Such of them as were heard to speak used the English language, and with the English accent. JAM ES BRUCE, Secretary.

COCKS, the Inventor and Proprietor of the tl • CELEBRATED READING SAUCE, begs most re spectfully to caution the Nobility, Families, and the Public, against the daily frauds and impositions practised by many Lon don and Country Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders, to deceive and deprive them of the GENUINE READING SAUCE. None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed with the impression, " J. Cocks, Reading;" and also the following .lescription the Sauce, on an orange.coloured label, " Reading Sauce, for Fish, cariching Gravies, &c. Prepared and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, by J. Coots, Reading." This Sauce is generally used at table with all sorts of Fish, in preference to all other Fish Srtures, and is esteemed peculiarly delicious with Game, Wild Fowl, Hashes, Steaks, and Cold Meat. Warranted to keep good seven years in any climate. It is presumed that no Sauce ever met with such general appr.- bation and extensive sale. It is patronised and recommended ' by most of the FIRST Faatixtsx in the Kingdom, and is retailed is London by 250 of the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders; in Bath, by 30; Bristol, 20; Edinburgh, Glas gow, Perth, and Aberdeen, 50 ; and by nearly all the principal Fish Sauce Dealers in the United Kingdom, most of whom sell Coces's Genuine and Superier Essasce of AIit:NOVI% made with prir.ie Gorgon Fish, rich as possible: FOR WORMS, FITS, PAINS IN THE STOhl ACII, &c. WORMS are the cause of many internal a ffl ictions, which vary so much in their effects that they may be mis taken by the most eminent Physician, and prove equally fatal to the constitutions of adults and children ; though the latter more I extensively stiffer from their destructive ravages. Their more usual symptoms are Fits, Pains in the Stomach, Side, and Head, Loss of Appetite, and Pale, Languid, and Emaciated appearance in the Patient. The extraordinary efficacy of CHING'S PATENT WORM LOWENGES in all such complaints, as well as in ob- 1 structions in the bowels, and every disorder where opening or cleansing physic is required, is so universally known, and has been publicly acknowledged by so many persons of distinction and rank in society, that it is unnecessary here to enlarge es their peculiar virtues. They are sold in Boxes at Is. lid. and Cs. 9d. by &dere, Che mists, No. 4, Cheapside, Corner of St. Paul's; and 34, Sackville street, Dublin ; and by the principal Druggists, Bioksellers, and Dia-thskte Venda* throughout the %lotto! kingdom. { ,Pl'o l l7 !ir FOR SALE BY AUCTION, At the King's Warehouse in RAMSGATE, on Virensisn.ty, the':9th day of August, 1821, at Eleven o'Cloek in the Forenoon, THE FOLLOWING GOODS, VIZ. i 2 Gallons Brandy, tOf legal strength for 62 Gallons Geneva, S public stock.

It is in preventing this last and most dreadful result of inflammation, that VELNOS' VEGE TABLE Si RUP has been lately found, by experience, to excel all other medicines. It must, therefore, be of the greatest importance to every fa mily, early to furnish themselves with the mians of employing, in such awful diseases, the only remedy capable of giving relief. Its efficacy has been proved to be beyond a p...rallel in two recent cases of inflammation of the peritoneum, when administered as the last medical effort, after that eminent Surgeon and Anato mist Mr. Thomas, of Leicester-place, Leiceste r - fi elds, de spaired' of all hopes of recovery. Mr. CANHAM, to extin guish all possible doubt, refers to these extraordinary cures with out fear of contradiction from any man ; and full particulars of them may be seen at Berner's-street, regularly attested by pef sons, who are alive, reside in town, and may be easily, and at any time, examined by Physicians. Though in all cases of inflamma tion, with tendency to mortification, the merit of the Vegetable Syrup is very great, it is only secondary to its efficacy in diseased liver, scurvy, scrofula, and those melancholy diseases arising from impurity of the blood and juices, whether conveyed into the system by infection, impure contact, intemperance, or a delicate and peculiar construction of the secretory organs. It is a safe, though a powerful substitute for Mercury, and removes those evils which an unsuccessful use of that mineral occasions. • The Syrup is prepared and administered in Berner's.street, Oxford-street, under Mr. Canham's immediate direction, where it is sold at 13s. a bottle; it is also sold at Mr. Atkhison's, 196, Ilishopsgate-street Without ; and by Mr. Canharn's other Agents in London, and in every considerable Town in the United King dom ; and the Concentrated, fur warm climates, by Ms deputed Agents in the East Indies, viz. Messrs. Mackintosh and Co. Cal cutta; Messrs. Forbes and Co. Bombay and Messrs. PapeU and Madras. SATURDAY. ALGUST 25, Is2l. NEW VOYAGES AND TRAVELS.

TintlCE, invented by the IateJACOB HEMET, Den tist to the Royal Family, have been proved by lung experience to greatly excel, both in elegance and efficacy, every other pre paration fur the Teeth and Gums : they effectually preserve the Teeth in a sound state even to old age, render them white and beautiful, without impairing the enamel, fasten such as are loose, and keep such as are decayed feunt becoming worse. They Ilk,- wise render the breath delicately sweet, prevent the Tooth-ache, perfectly cure the Scurvy in the Gums, and make them grow lirm and close to the teeth. The Essence is particulatly recom mended to parents and persons who have the care of children as the greatest preservative of young :Ind tender teeth. Nene are genuine but what have the words, " J.

After having worn under the front of the bonnet, either shells of ribbons or a bunch of Bowen s, or half rouleauz of the shape of a turban, the P.tri.ian fasbionables seem disposed to adopt a puffed trimming, tightened with buckles at distances. Some fronts of demi-capotes are edged with a double blond, four inches wide. Gowns are still worn with a great number of nar row flounces. The disposition of the quilling on dresses partakes of much variety ; every day produces something new, either crescents, honeycombs, zig-zag vandykes, or scoUops. Bodies with crossed bands are yet wily to be found among the first milliners. Some ele;antes have appeared in the public gardens with crape dresses worn over black silk, which were generally trimmed with several rows of quilling ; short sleeves and white gloves, or tight sleeves cut bias without lining. White or co loured gauze bonnets, with flowers and trimmings to match ; or cotton tissue bonnets, with a veil and ostrich feathers, dyed pink, blue, or poppy colour; Cashmeer shawls, raspberry or gold co loured. With dress a pearl necklace is almost indispensable, a chain of steel beads, however, snay be substituted. A melancholy catastrophe has carried desolation into the family of the Marshal Prince d'Ecastunt.. His eldest daughter, who last year married M. Vt- O'ER, jun. Proprietor of the Baths on the Seine, was happily delivered of a son, eight days ago, at the Chateau de Savigny, department of the Seine and Oise. Her health was in a very favourable state, and there was every reason to hope her prompt recovery. On Sunday, the 19th instant, her young sister swal lowed a pin, which, after long and painful efforts, was extracted. In the meantime, an imprudent per son ran with a countenance betraying great terror, and informed Madame VICIER of the disaster, which caused so sudden and violent a revulsion of nature, that in two hours, notwithstanding every professional aid, she expired. She had cot attained the age of 18. Thursday morning, at eight o'clock, the Duke and Duchess DE FRIAS, after discharging, in an affec tionate manner, their English servants, set out from their residence in Portland-place, with the junior branches of their family, for Dover, where they will embark for Calais. His Excellency and family intend passing a month at Paris. The following singular circumstance took place on. Saturday last, in Charles-street, Edinburgh :—An ex cavation had been made for the foundation of a new house there, the back part of which came in contact with a house of one story, partly occupied as a dwel ling-house, and partly as a coach-house. The work men had retired but a few minutes; when the gable end of the small house detached itself from the walls, and slid down in a solid mass into the area dug for the new foundation to the depth of about six feet be low its own foundation ; but falling with a gentle in clination, the gable rested on the walls of the house from which it had just been detached without in juring in the least degree the astonished and terrified inmates, thus left exposed to public gaze. A discovery has lately been introduced which bids fair to supersede the necessity of a Dentist ; HUDSON'S BOTANIC TOOTH POWDER is a certain remedy and pre ventive for all Disorders of the Mouth. It not merely cleanses and beautifies the Teeth, but preserves them from decay to the latest period of life. It makes them white, fasten , . such as are loose, prevents those decayed crowing worse, removes the Tartar and cures the Scurvy ill the Gums, leaving them fi rm and of a healthy redness. It is an antidote for Gum 13iles,Swelled Face, and that excruciating pain the Tooth-ach ; and so certain an d un deviating are its effects , th at there never was _n. instance of any per son who regularly used it, ever having the Too:lt•ach, or a Tooth decay; and though so efficacious all autisepti:, it is to innocent that the contents of a Box may be swallowed by an infant with-' out any danger.

DISEASE One small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent case, will soon convince the patient of the certainty of his speedy recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, mere safe, or more convenient than this Remedy, for such as, are obliged to go jour nies or to sea, as it nctils no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it will effect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chronical Disorders, this Medicine has not its parallel. Upwards of 40,000 persons of both sexes have been radically cured of the above cruel disorders, within the last eight years. Prepared and sold by the sole proprietors, T.

PEDESTRIANISM. A tradesman of Chichester, con'Thursday morning, startNl to run from the Barracks to the Cross, a measured mile, in rice minutes. Want of training, and the heat of the weather, wt..- sioned his failure. SIXTY 'MILES A-D.tY FOR TENT DAYS. This undertaking was completed by Mr. Cotemax, near Ho niton, in Devonshire, on Thursday ; and, comidering the heat of the last few days, it stands equal to anything on pedestrian record. Mr. Coxestax bent his course through Huntingdon to Ferrybridge, in Yorkshire; and from thence crossed the coun try through Worcestershire, Oxfordshire, and into the Barn road at Devizes ; from thence through the lower part of Somer set and Wiltshire, till the 600 miles were completed as stated..-- It is extraordinary that he felt but little fatigue after the fourth day. He generally did from five to six nsiles an hour when travelling, which secured him rest. The wager was fur 200 n eas only. EXTRAORDINARY WAGER. James Watson, of the Swau, Upper Clapton, who is nearly 70 years of age, undertook for a wager to draw a gig (weighing 2 cwt.) 26 miles in 12 hours. He started at nine o clock on Wednesday night. and completed his task at a quarter past seven the next morning, being one hour and three-quarters within the given time. Hundreds were up all night to witness this extra ordinary feat; much praise is duo to his friends for their exer tions, as many impediments were thrown in his way. THE lIILTRIZALV, We are informed that the murrain has lately appeared among the cattle in some parts of the counties of Brecon, Radnor, Car digan, and Carmarthen, but we hope the report will prove us. founded. This diseas e highly contagious, generally fatal, and mostly occurs in dry seasons, but happily very seldom in this country. Ito symptoms are, the animals hanging down their heads, which ate swollen, palpitation of the heart, short and hot breathing, staggering, a viscid secretion from the eyef, rattling in the throat, and a very shining tongue. We believe no et rtain remedy is known for the disorder ; bleeding and purging have been recommended, with setons in the dew-lap—atter the opts. ration of purgatives, opiates and aromatics are said to be of ese and we think change of food would also be found serviceal with a portion of salt, two or three ounces, mixed in it daily.— On the first appearance of the symptoms of this quadruped Plague, the healthy cattle sbovld be immediately removed from those affected, as far as possible, to fresh shady pasture, with plenty of water, and salt g iven them daily in some food, about two or three ounces each day ; the recovery of the diseased cattits we fear will always be very uncertain, and we strongly recona. mend where animals die with the symptoms we have described, a skilful veterinary surgeon should he procured to open one of them, as then we will be enabled to judge of the best method of treating the disorder. The greatest care must be taken to pre vent the spreading of the disease, which is very infectious, anti may be disseminated throughout the country if neglected. la the inland counties the wheat harvest has com menced generally, and some of the superior agric4l - have already housed their crops, which ale of the finest quality.. - Partridges are said to be exceedingly numerous this year, and unusually strong upon the wing. The standing corn, to which, we trust, due respect will be paid ,' will Much limit the sports on the Ist of Sep tember, the natural consequence cf a watery season. At none of the places of summer resort has the influence of the season been more sensibly expel ienced than at Leamington Spa : should the arrivals con tinue to bear any proportion to those of the last few days, it will be the fullest season ever known.
