It is well known that cotton is among the productions of that highly favoured soil, and was formerly the source of great riches to the inhabitants. Of late years, various cir cumstances had greatly diminished the advantages of this branch of industry, but there was a distant hope of an improvement, when news was received of the capture of six or seven vessels, laden with cotton, by an American lnsdrgent privateer. The quantity of cotton which the pirate has taken is 500 bags ; an ir reparable loss for a small population, whose resources are limited, and who have suffered so many and seri ous disasters. 'The indignation of these people is at its height on seeing a pirate insult, for three or four months, in the middle of the Mediterranean, the Spanish nation, which, though great in so many re spects, has not means to chastise a Corsair, or to pro tect its commerce. It appears, by accounts from Almeira, that this privateer is from Santa Margarita, and has only five guns and fifty men. It is certain that this privateer as taken several vessels besides the seven of which we have positive information. The merchanti are under the cruel necessity of sus pending their expeditions, because they can find no body to insure their goods, or if they do, it is at suet high premiums as to take away ail profit. It is la mentable that no protection should be afforded to such important interests when the taxes are paid with such punctuality." Two Mails have arrived from Holland, with Pa pers to the 3d inst. The following are extracts: FRANKFORT, DECEMBER si. An express received directly from Troppau,by the Austrian Embassy, has brought a final Declaration of the High Allied Powers, respecting the affairs of Naples, which is considered as the result of the late conferences at Troppau. We hear that this document is intended to be communicated to all the German Governments; and it has, in fact, been already com municated to the Senate of this City by the Austrian Resident Minister, Baron Von Handel. As this im portant document is at present considered as entirely confidential, and is only in the hands of persons be longing to the Diplomatic Body, or the Government, we must, for the present, be contented with noticing its existence. Unauthenticated reports state the fol lowing as the leading points : " The three great Powers, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, state, at the commencement of this Memo rial, that they had entertained the hope of seeing with the French Revolution its spirit also extin guished, but that, unhappily, the experience of the present year had proved the contrary, since in vari ous countries of Europe, new and violent Revolutions had taken place, which threatened to shake its social relations. That in particular the present state of Italy had excited the attention and interest of the Powers, and the Allied Sovereigns had met at Trop pau, to take it into consideration, that they might be able to adopt such measures as are most appropriate to existing circumstances. That it had been resolved to invite King Ferdinand to Laybach, in order to agree, in a personal interview, upon the means of averting the dangers with which Italy and Europe are threatened, on account of the Revolutionary state of his Kingdom. That in case the King of Naples should not accede to this invitation, and to the wishes of the Allied Pow• crs, to put an end to the Revolutionary state of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, this would be consider ed as a proof that the King was not in a situation to act according to his own free will ; that the Powers would then find themselves under the necessity of having recourse to arms: and that, in this case, Austria was chosen to act in the name of the other Powers, and to execute those measures which are thought necessary for the maintenance of the politi cal system, and the existing order of things in Etr.•ope."

The new Taxes have not pro duced their estimated value; and on the last Quarter, compared with the corresponding Quarter of the pre cedint year, there is a deficiency of £309,529. The proceedings at the Berkshire County Meeting, held yesterday at Reading, are given at great length in our columns this day, as are also those of the In habitants of Camberwell. Both will be read with great interest. At the latter Meeting, the Ultras, who had before got up a snug Loyal Address with out any Meeting, endeavoured, with shameless ef frontery, to interrupt the proceedings, but they were ultimately defeated. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 29. The last Courier from Stockholm has brought the following news Important negociations are said to be on foot between Denmark and Sweden, the ob ject of which is to ensure effectual protection to the commerce of the North. The Cabinet of St. Peters burgh is supposed to take part in these negociations, which may probably lead to a maritime league be tween the three Northern Powers." HAARLEM, DECEMBER 30. By accounts received from Nimeguen, Dordrecht, &c. it appears that the rivers of Holland are full of drift ice, and there is reason to fear they will be wholly frozen up, if the frost should continue. The Paris Papers of Friday and• Saturday arrived this forenoon. Neither of the Chambers have yet proceeded to any business of general interest. On Friday the De puties were occupied with the discussion of some proposed improvements in the form of their pro• ceedings. 'The King of NAPLES arrived at Florence, from 'Leghorn, on the 22d. His MAJESTY quitted that city on the 27th, reached Bologna the same day, Modena on the 28th, and it was expected he would arrive at Laybath by the 411.1 of January. The Duke de GALLO, the Neapolitan Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had come by the Way Of lloine, pitted his MAMMY at Florence. The celebrated Count C.Anxof is said to have written to General PEPE, offering to serve under his orders. The offer, if it has been made; will doubt less be well received. A Swiss Journal says, that France . appears called npon to play a most impo:tant part in the affairs of Europe at the present crisis, and that it has concluded, with a great maritime Power, a strict alliance which may lead to immense results. A new Ally has, in the meantime, started up in favour of Naples, which is, in one sense, playing both a great and a melancholy part, but which those who delight to trace PROVIDENCE in all things, cannot contemplate without reverence. The first' conse quence of the Austrian encampment in Italy, against the liberties of a brave People, has been a raging and destructive typhus among the troops. Letters from Milan state, that the malirly has spread so widely, that in some regiments there are from 700 to 800 men laid up in the hospitals. At the depar ture of the last courier from the army there were about 16,000 men sick. The cavalry had also suf• fered considerable loss, attributed to want of forage. Fiftten bandied horses had died within a short time. Accounts from Madrid of the 25th, state, that the number of arrests for disaffection to the Constitu tional system multiplied daily, and that the power which Government had assumed of exiling particu lar individuals from the Capital, had produced an unpleasant conflict of opinion among those most at- tached to the new order of things. A representation had been presented to his MAJESTY, signed by more than a thousand persons of the Club of the Fontaine d'Or, requesting the dismissal of the Premier. , Ills MAJESTY had referred it to the Council of State.

The crew endeavoured, by swimming, to reach the shore; but, although this imfortonate accident happened at only a few yards from the pier, yet the current was running at the time so strong, they were all driven to sea, and only two men and the boy reached the shore, and this at some distance from where the boat upset; the other two were seen by the survivors nuking exertions to save life, but from the piercing cold, anti the strength of the tide, they were unfortunately drowned. Their !Ames wens John Dawson and Philip Moss, natives of Harwich or its vici nity, and one has left a wife and family to mourn his loss. The bodies having been picked up about three-quarter of an hour after the accident, the Worshipful GEORGE DELL, the Mayor, and the Coroner, immediately held an Inquest on them, when a verdict of Accidental Death was recorded.

WILLIAtti SCOTT, the LORD CHIRP JUSTICE (t Common Pleas, the LORD CmE BARON of th e Ed chequer, and a Belch of Civilians. The Commission for holding the Sessions havis been read, the Grand Jury was called over. A gre L number were fined 100 s. for non - attendance.

It appeared in evidence that the Good t zar „.1 bound on a voyage from Cronstadt to St. Pcte-:. burgh, and thence to Lonch,n. Her crew consi:; e d of thirteen, men and boys, the Captain and the Mo.. Before the ship sailed, in consequence of the il;re ts of two of the crew, the Captain was obliged to the two prisoners, as able-bodied seamen. Beforer: l day mentioned in the indictment they had been pa y . of mutinous conduct, which subjected them to rem. hension and punishment, but in consequence of t h e i r contrition and asking forgiveness, they were permi t , ted to resume their duties. On the 20th of Octob er , . 1 however, their mutinous disposition again broke o ut , and they complained, without any just cause, e i shortness of provisions. The Captain remonstrate! with them upon their conduct, but they became std more outrageous in their language and threats. ll* conduct became so alarming, that the Captain pr o railed upon the Captains of two ships, in whose cors .,; pang he sailed, to come on board, in order to sl e i 4 l with him what was best to be done. Whil , t tity were on board, one of the prisoners began fightine with another of the crew. The Captain interpo i 4 and said he would have no fighting in the ship; upee which both the prisoners threatened to murde r a z Captain arid the other Officers of the ship, and used the most insulting and insubordinate language. TI! Captain retired to his cabin and armed himself a musket and a pistol, and on his return he feud , the prisoners had prepared themselves for a hos:1:e combat, by arming themselves ‘i ith a handspike, mallet, and a clasp knife, and they advanced r e . wards the Captain with threats of destroying him, One of them made a blow at his bea..l, which was caught by the Mate, and the other struck at hinted a bayonet, which he seized, from the' musket di c k the Captain held in hisis hand. The Captain, in h own defence, knocked Stewart down with the handle of an adze. For half an hour afterwards both pi. soners continued to abuse the Captain, and avowed their intention of murdering him, and denvar.del muskets, pistols, and citatsses, with which they al. fered to fight it out. The Captain piped all hands on deck for the purpose of securing theprisonerszni confining them, but all the sailors refused to °Ley,. Shortly afterwards .the vessel arrived at Elsinar; when the Captain complained of the prisoners' cow duct to the British Consul, who ordered them or shore, put them into irons, •and sent them home a England for trial. The prisoners put in written defences, alleging, as their excuse, drunkenness, shortness of provisionsond general ill-treatment ; but they called no witness; stating, as a reason, that their witnesses had gone toses. The Jury deliberated for a considerable time, ad returned a special verdict—That the prisoners was guilty of a revolt, but not piratically. The COURT informed them, that they must find a general verdict of Guilty, or Not Guilty. The Jury again deliberated for about half an hour, and returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. The prisoners were then ordered, on the motion of Counsel, to be detained for the assault and mii. demeanour. bite A.S Ong Sn I Age Alexaftder Wood and William Lill, two seamen, I who were convicted at the last Admiralty Sessions,ot plundering a wreck ..n the coast of Kent, were then put to the bar to receive the awful sentence of death. Sir Wzmast SCOTT addressed the prisonersin ,1 usual impressive manlier. They had, he said, bees convicted of plundering a ship in distress, on the 1 shores of this country ; and it was Much to be la mented that there were Englishmen to be found so j lost to the feelings of humanity, as to make to thaw selves a harvest upon the distresses of their fellow creatures. The magnitude of the offence was much increased, when it was considered that the prisoners. • if they had acted as men and as Christians, vita. have assisted in the preservation of the lives and pro. perty of the individuals whom th e y had thus basely I plundered. At the time that the offence was cow j mined, it was by the law a capital felony; but by subsequent Act of Parliament, it was no longer pit nishat•le with death : the Act, however, could net operate retrospectively, and the sentence of death must be passed upon them. He felt some degree pleasure in stating, that there we r e ci r cumstances Is the case of the prisoners of a favourable character, which would, in all probability, operate in mitigauos - of the punishment which the law awarded. it KJ- i peared that they were not the leaders to tl.e plunder, I but the followers of others who were more guilty. If, these had been taken, the law must have had its; 'Course; but in the case of the prisoners, the favour able circumstances he alluded to would be repro- seated in the proper quarter, and he had little doubt that their lives would be spared. As, however, they had been convicted, he must perform his duty, un pleasant as it was, of passing the sentence of the law upon them. The Learned Judge then passed the sentence of Death, in the usual form, and the priso ners were removed.—The Sessions then adjourned. rtIA rt!ces Aug' Ling kbe TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
