Committee Room, Qty of London Tavern, April Z. HIM AT a MEETING of the COMMITTEE held this day, pursuant to Notice, and in conformity with a Resolution of tie General Meeting of the gist instant. Nauseam Goma, Esq. in the Chair. The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to : 1. That the prosperity and preservation of the West India Colo• fl ies, from the extensive, uniform, and certain market for manufac tures and employment for shipping, which they afford, are essential to the maintenance of the general interests and the naval power of the Empire. S. That to legislate beneficially for those Colonies, and for the real ,nd permanent welfare of all classes of the population, requires an in •ltnate local knowledge of the state of society, and of the habits and feelings of the people; and a careful reference to the history of the Establishment of the Colonies, and to the laws under which the British Capital has been embarked in them, and their cultivation stimulated '.I the long-cherished policy of the Mother Country. a. That, when, for these reasons, local legislatures have been esta blished, to coerce those legislatures in matters of internal regulation involving their own private property and personal safety, is, in prin ciple, dangerous to all the Colonies, and calculated to destroy their at tachment to the Mother Country, which, during the last war, so sig nally contributed to her successes, and which even now, in a period of extreme adversity, has not been extinguished. t That to effect such a coercion of the Colonies by means of penal restrictions or lambent on their intercourse with this country, appears to this Committee to be, not only oppressive towards she non-resident proprietors, annuitants, mortgagees and others, who, though possessing much property in those islands, yet have no influence in their legisla tures, but also exceedingly injurious to the merchants, manufacturers, and ship-owners of the United Kingdom, who are directly interested in this intercourse, and who must be injured by its interruption to the extent of many millions of capital and many thousands of persons. 5. That the threat, as recently announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to propose the adoption of such means for coercing the Colonies, is contrary to the uniform usage of Parliament since the American revolution, and consistent only with those precedent. which led to that disastrous event ; and a revival of similar measures, for whatever object, appears to this Committee the most dangerous and deplorable policy, as the exercise of this odious power of coercion was, after repeated discussion, virtually abandoned during the American revolution ;—an abandonment strenuously advocated by the greatest statesmen this country has produced, and which the calm concurring voice of all reasonable men has since pronounced to be in conformity with those principles of sound policy by which all parts of the empire should be connected and governed. 6. That a perseverance in this unwise and perilous course of policy cannot fail to provoke measures of resistance, endanger the peace of the Colonies, and thus put to hazard not only the property but the lives of all clines of the inhabitants, entirely destroy our in- tercourse with the Colonies, and ultimately lead to their separation from the mother coutitiy. . 7. That Petitions be prepared and presented to our most gracious Sovereign, atul, upon the assembling of Parliament, to both Houses of the imperial Legislatute, expressive of the sentiments contained in these Resolutions, and deprecating, in the strongest but most respectful terms, the anti-colonial policy of this snd other late measures of the Administration ; beseeching them not to adopt any resolutions which mast compromise both the commercial intercourse and the political connection betweeu ibe British Colonies and the mother country, and earnestly emreating protection for the general Colonial and Shipping Interests of the Empire. •. That a Copy of the foregoing Resolutions be transmitted to the Right Honourable the Earl Grey, Lord Viscount Aithorp, and Lord Viscount Goderich, and the Chairman be requested to ask for an in. terriew with their Lordships on the subject ;—and that W.

CHI LOREN'S COMFORT.—They will not buffer from the 1100 P ING COUGH, and their TEETH will come through easy, nor will they be afflicted with the Wind, Convulsions, or pain in the Stomach, by using Dr. MYERS'S DENTITION SYRUP, which acts like a charm when the child is in pain with cutting its Teeth ; and the Syrup, rubbed a few minutes on the Gums, immediately relieves the pain, and if often used the Teeth come through easy. Children are in general afflicted, while Teething, with pain and wind in the stomach, convulsions, &c. In short, it is a fact that Mothers and Nurses are often mistaken ; for when a child is cross or uneasy, they imagine it proceeds from pain of the Teeth ; but by rubbing a Rule of the Syrup on the Gums, and giving it half a tea-spoonful to drink, it will be found of great benefit if it proceeds from any other cause, and has proved of greater benefit than from any other remedy; and, by mixing often a tea-spoonful of it in the tlild's food, it will be found of great benefit. In short, nobody ought to be without it where children are ; for if a child wakes in the night in pain, either with its teeth or wind, or pain In the stomach, by rubbing a little on Its gums, or by giving it a little, will immediately tied relief. It is also the best and most simple remedy for all coughs of children. from the tooth cough to the !looping cougn. Even grown persons will find ft the best remedy for colds, coughs, and astlimathic consumption ; also persons who have short breath will 6ud great relief by taking half a table-spoonful now and then. It is actually the only remedy for tender and bad nipples, as the Syrup is so healsome, innocent, and pleasant, that if a little be put on the nipple before the child is put to the breast, it will immediately suck it, and will prevent the nipple from breaking, and If broken it will soon heal it. CAUTION TO Peamers.—There are other Syrups selling for the use of children while teething, which are generally prepared with Syrup of Poppies. or Opium, or sonic other slow poison. These make chg. Iron, it h tine, qJiet for a little while, and drowsy. and as if it did them good (though they are inwardly convolsed); but mothers and curses should not be deceived by any of them. Snch is not the case with the Dentition Syrup, which Is prepared from a prescription of the Lite celebrated Dr. J. H Myers, who particularly recommended It for children. Indeed, several parents have declared, since they have used the Dentition Syt up for their children while teething, that their teeth cane through so easy, that neither the mother nor nurse knew it; while, before they had recourse to i., not a tooth came through without con vulsive fits. In fact, mothers will not do their duty, or have proper feelings towards their dear babies, if they do not purchase a bottle of the D,ntLion Syrup for a trial, as it also prevents the agony that in tuna suffer while legating. It is warranted of so innocent a nature, that it may with safety be given to oil infants ; and is so pleasant that no child will reject it ; and the proprietor will not only be obliged, but will thank all who have the care of children, to show a bottle to their physician or medical atten dant, that parents may be convinced of its efficacy and Its innocency, :ad that it is the most valuabk medicine ever discovered for babies teething.

(rtrwruita PARTICULARS.) The folio viug is a return of the flotilla defeated and de stroyed in the memorable engagement with the Borough montrers in St. Stephen's Bay, on Friday last, April 22: THE HERO OF WATERLOO.—An excellent troop ship, was formerly employed in the war against Bonaparte.— Just before the action she sustained great injury by running her bead against the rock of Reform, and remaining im moveable. THE COT'FON SPIN N ER.Lsunc.bed from the Univer sity Dock, and towed into Tamworth. Veen about like a • dog-cane in a shift of wind, and cannot keep a straight course. Timbers rotten. It is expected the rats will leave her, as those vermin know by inbtiuct when a ship is not trustworthy. THE HON EST CHA a total wreck. In her attempt to escape from Reform Roads she fired ninny ran dom shots, but was left a log upon the water. Being crank she reels much upon her keel, and sometimes pitches in a remarkable manner. She will never again get into Borough bridge or Rotten Harbour. THE SOUTHWARK FLY BOAT.—This vessel hes seen much service, and was famous for hoisting signals to deceive the frieads of Bnonaparte. She carried off Lavalette ; an noyed the government during the funeral of Queen Caroline ; carried off the people's subscription money ; and finally car ried herself off with a flowing sheet from St. Stephen's Bay at the moment when the reformers required her assistance. THE PRESTON WHEELING COCK.—It is difficult to de seribe the mould and trim of this craft. She is painted with false ports, to deceive both friends and enemies. She has not been closely examined, and it is uncertain at present whe ther she belongs to the boroughmongers or the reformers. She steers without compass, and has no ballast to keep her steady. She hoists a matchless black flag. THE BANKS OF DORSET.—This is a heavy sailing lug boat. Its owners belong to Corfe Castle. During many years she has made part of the Rotten-borough Flotilla. In the late action she succeeded in cutting off the supplies re quired by the Royal William. THE WIIARNCLIFFE.—A vessel of the first class, built in the reign of George the Fourth. She is only remarkable for her late attack upon the friends and supporters of the constitution. She is formed after the model of the Charles Stewart. THE DERRY-DOWN.—This fire-ship appeared in the fight of the 22d like a volcano, vomiting terrible combustibles. Even the vessels of the boroughmongers were compelled to sheer off from the flames. She would have grappled the Richmond, had not the Tabella rock, which rises in the middle of St. Stephen's Bay, separated them. The Derry down is a crazy, ungovernable vessel, and it will be long be fore she is in a condition to resume offensive operations. She is in the Newcastle trade, and brings coals to London. She may meet a Tempest in the North ; but must avoid battles with Reformers on the banks of the Thames. THE MATHIPIELD.—Tbis packet carried advice to the Royal William, and struck upon the shoal of Presumption. She tried to back off with a revolutionary wind ; but could not stir. She sunk in the mud and there must re ma i n . _ _ . In addition to the above the following gun-boats were sunk and destroyed :—The Shelley of Gatton, the George Bankes, of Corfe Castle, the Baring of Callington, the Cal craft of Wareham, the Croker of Aldeburg, the Hope of Gatton, the Peel of Yarmouth, the Sir J. York of Reigate, the Gordon of Seaford, with many others now considered lion de combat. This brilliant victory over the Boroughmongers is of the highest advantage to Old England. Like the piratical Cor sairs of Algiers, they not only robbed the people of their property, but their liberty and constitutional rights. The good ship Britannia has long been kept upon the wrong tack ; but with Reform for a pilot she will put about, steer for free and fair Representation, and sail with a fair breeze into the harbour of Public Prosperity. Our present helms men, doubtless, know how to keep her steady by avoiding the rocks and quicksands of Corruption, which obstruct the channel through which the Reformers must navigate. Riding at last in smooth water, and clear of the dangers spread by her enemies, she may again protect commerce, and excite the admiration of the world. ALGIERS. A letter from a medical officer attached to the French army of Algiers, contains the following particulars : The population amounts to between 60,000 and 70,000 souls. It con sists of Turkish families. of Couloglis, being the olfkpriag of Turks by Moorish women, of Arabs, Moors, Jews (to the number of about 15000) and of black slaves. The Cnuloglis are a tall race, and but for eenstant inactivity, would be robust. Seated with their legs crowed, they pass their time in , cooking , and in drinking coat. Their figure is handsome slid imposing : they are fair, without any tine of the Arab blood, and arc not dicing', hatable fmen the Turks. The Jews, living in overcrowded habitations, and a vitiated atmo .pbere, are almost all of them seropholons The Moor*. Arabs, and Degrees, are meagre, tall, active, and laborious, and rarely a prey to the iohrmities which abet the rest of the inhabitants. The maladies— which appear to be endemic, are opthalmla, and a swelling of the lower extremities, or the elephantiasis of the Greeks—a hideous die s:Le:ma hich, with the one exception just mentioned, attacks all Algiers has only two paltry manufactories, of matte white woollens, and one of silk Pa %bes. All other articles of clothing ere procured from Europe. They dye woollens, silks, and enitons, hut the colours are neither beautiful nor lasting. There is no a warehouse in the whole city, all its trade being carried on it pal ry vhops t.f seven or eight feet long, by four or fi ve i n br ea dth, whe re t h e shopkeeper, seated on a lost, without discomposing himself, hands the customer what ever articles he may want. The ointment of most travellers, as to the manufacture of Otto of Roses, of the best quality. at Algiers, is Ratly contradicted, and the writer asserts that there is no Otto of Roses on sale there, but what comes from Smyrna, Constantinople, or Jlar seines. Algiers has twenty three mosques, of which seven are very haul some structures, and kept extremely clean. The Jews hare thirteen synagogma, most of them very large, but in the interior disgustingly filthy. The costume of all sects is nearly the same, differing only as .o co lour, which for the :tlabotuctans is white, and for the Jews black, or o f other (lurk tints. The Jew e ss es ti nge their hair, eve-brows, nails, the palms of their hands, their heels, and the soles of their feet whit room. Their head-dress consists of a truncated cone, from 18 to 20 inches long, of iron or silver wire, often decorated withribanels, and over which is thrown a large eel, failing duwu behind. The Turkish females never venture out without a bandeau on the forehead, whilst another piece of stuff leaves no part of the countenarm visible but the eyes. The costume of the Bedouin is that of the ancient patriarchs. They go with the legs and feet bare, and the body partially covered with a white garment attached to the head by a cord. and confined at the waist by a cord, or laniard, of untanned leather. Their stature is tall, their aspect severe, their skin herd, and their complexion a deep brown ish red. The Algerinem have no iilea of the ornamental arta, and with them all ,be useful uw .ire übly yet in a state of infancy. Among their animals, The harbour of Algiers is good and safe, but so anal) that tlso French frigates cannot inter it, and that it can afford shelter only to from fifteen to twenty TOW, of inferior tonnage. The roadsted is had, and its anchorage dangerous at all seasons of the year; so that Algiers can never become a naval station. With regard to the climate, the writer says--" During the wroth. of June and July, the thermometer rose in marquees to flour twenty - eigh• to • Itirty degrees of Reaumur, and in the ordinary tents to from thirty-two to thirty-four. The latter were every night penetrated with the dews. Since the la of October, we have always bad a temperature of from eighteen to twenty degrees in the day, and of not less thaw fourteen during the night. With the ezeepLion of two or three storms, the sky has been constantly serene since our arrival. On the 9th July, about eight o'clock in the evening, the wind blew from the Southward with such violence, that it tore away parts of the tents, and made the sand fly in clouds, so thick as to renda it impossible to see any object at the distances of a few paces. The sir acquired a suffocating heat, like that issuing from the mouth of s burning furnace. Until three o'clock in the morning, the atmosphere seemed to be on fire. At that hour the wind chopped round to the North Bast, the sex-breeze sprang up. and we began to breathe again. All of us, however, were cacao ill from the effects of this dreadful night, which, besides, carried off many of our wounded men, who had suffered amputation, and who were going on well at the previous evening visit. They died, as if seized with tetanus, but their agony did not exceed a quarter of an hoar in duration. Since the month of July, we have again been twice slightly incommoded by the wind of the desert." M. Marshal De Serres, professor of mineralogy end geo logy at Montpellier, has published a work upon " the tertiary marine soils of the South of France," which abounds in cu rious and interesting details, from which he draws the ge neral conclusion, that the actual condition of the external crust of the globe has not been the result of violent revolu tions, or grand cataclysms ; but that the phenomena which it now exhibits may all be attributed to causes analogous to those which are still in operation ; and that every thing seems to be formed without general convulsions, and in a regular manner. The tertiary marine beds were, he says, formed at a period when the ocean was already separated from the Me diterranean seas, or, in other terms, at an epoch nearly ap proximating to the historic times. The alternation of ma rine deposits with those of fresh water, in the most recent formations, is, he contends, merely the effect of the trans portation of different materials into the seas by rivers. One of the proofs which he gives of this assertion, is the presence of fresh-water calcareous pebbles pierced by marine litho phagous mollescae in the midst of solid strata formed by the waters of the sea, of which he says the shores of the Medi terranean offer several specimens. He conceives that the comparative contiguity of certain alluvial deposits may be estimated by the preater or less quantity of animal matter, found in the fomil bones of quadrupeds contained in these strata. From a detail of facts as , the presence of human bones, and the remains of artic uman fabrication in the solid or alluvial strata in both h mispheres, be makes the following deductions: I. That since the appearance ofman upon the earth, certain species of terrestrial tnammiferous animals have been com pletely destroyed, or, at least, have ceased to exist in the different parts of the globe, which have been hitherto explored. 2. That the remains of our species are incontestably inter mingled with, and found in the same geological circum stances as certain species of terrestrial manainifera hitherto considered as antediluvian—such as the bears of the caverns of Miremont and Bize, and the rhinoceroses and byreuas of the caverns of Pundraz and Souvignargues ; and thus, it appears, that, since the existence of man, rhinoceroses, hyaenas, bears, and stags of an unknown species, have lived in our regions, and that their races were sufferers in the last great inundation which caused the destruction of individuals of our species, and dispersed the diluvium over a great part of the surface of the globe. With regard to the insects kind in a foasile state in the south of France, the author states that this sa of Montpellier are analogous to, and probably identical with those which still exist in the environs of that city ; and that the same re semblance occult; as to those of the environs of Aix, the greater number of which belong to those living in dry and arid situations. In the south of France, foesile vegetables are found in the same strata which contain (mile fish ; and those strata which are destitute of the one. are alike desti tute of the other. For this fact the author accounts by observing, that these bodies must have been chiefly pre served in slimy depots, formed in sheltered places, entirely favourable to the preservation of plants and fishes. The principal of the destroyed species of vertebral and invertebral animals found in the tertiary strata of the south of France, have a resemblance to those of the torrid zones, whilst the greater number of the species, identical with races actually existing in France, seem to have come from the temperate zones—a circumstance affording a presumption that the de struction of the former was occasioned by a diminution of the temperature of the earth. From his examination as to the fos sile insects and aracbnides of the basin of Aix he makes the fol lowing inference : " Insects belonging to invertebral auimals, being more simple in respect of their organisation than the vertebral, were also the first that appeared on the stage of the ancient world, where in consequence of the condition of their existence, less imperious than those to which animals of a more elevated order had been subjected, they have con stantly perpetuated tbeinselves without experiencing other modifications than those of species. The formative types ou which they have established their families and their genera appear to have sustained no change. vxectweemzess f e NAVAL I , NTE.LLIGINCE. FALAIOUTH, APme. 27.

Besides the windows of the Morni ng Post, and of the houses in Piccadilly, mentioned yesterday, we learn that the ste-t side of St. James's • guars, including the houses of the Bishops of London and Winchester, experienced a similar fate. Crock ford's magnificent plate glass windows are destroyed, and those in the extensive frontage of the Duke of tiortbumberland. The Marquess of Londonderry in Park Lane, Mr. Peel in Spring Gardens, the Pulteney hotel, the Guards club house, the Alfred, the Literegy Union, and some others, suffered severely. Fraser the magazine publisher, the John Bull office, Halesand Under wood, booksellers, Corhyn and Bell, druggists, and some other scrupulous, or " right-conceited' persons, were marked by popular resentment. The Duke of Wellington lost eleven Tunes before the assailants were arrested b ymore respect for the dead, than they evinced for the living. On the whole, in spite of these irregularities, always to be regretted when they occur, but sot unusual on such occa sions, the people were highly good-humoured, and we have not yet heard of a single serious accident. • ;
