I ions to die productions of Switzerland. The Com mittee has, however, made some modifications in the first Project. The minority have given two opinions. The one presented by M. Braun, who persists in advocating a sys:em without restrictions; and the other by M. Hirzel, who would limit the import duties in wine and corn. •' , After the Diet had again deliberated, t4irteen . votes wcre in favour of the prittciple idelited by the majo rity, most with the reserve of the ratifi4atici4 of their Constituents. The Deputies of Zurich, Bale, Geneva, .Uri, Schiweitz, Underwald, Neufchatel, and Valais, ac• cording to their instructions, took the matter ad re fereadem. It was also decided that the measures in question should be taken, not by virtue of a binding resolu tion, to which the Diet would not be competent, but by an candy free Concordat between such of the Cantons as should adopt it. In the sixteenth Sitting, on the 27th of August, the debate on the Concordat for a partial introduction of import duties, was continued, and the Tariff dis cussed. The various articles relative to produce and manufactures were adopted, some by thirteen, and some by fourteen votes, reserving the ratification of the Cantons which shall adhere to the Concordat.

In another part of our Paper will be found some i-.!eresting communications between Sir FREDERICK I:VINSON, the Governor of Tobago, and the House c: Assembly in that Island. It appears that when his Excellency first arrived in the Island it was in a' very flourishing condition, and the inhabitants raised : salary to a sum far exceeding that of any pre ceding Governor. Such, however, is now the ,rierous condition into which the finances of the Colony is reduced, that they no longer feel able to continue their liberality. The House of Assembly has therefore addressed the Governor, reminding him of the conduct of his MAJESTY in reducing the Civil List ; and that the salary of the Governor of Jamaica Iris also been reduced, and playing that he would take this subject into consideration. Sir FREDERICK ROBINSON, in imitation of the members of the Holy Alliance Junta, who assert, that all Reform ought to " emanate from the free \vill of ti-ose whom Con has rendered responsible for power," takes it in high dudgeon that the Assembly should interfere; and still more, that they should' ' remind him of the example of his Sovereign: he tells them, that next year he will let them see what he will do. Now really it does appear to us that 1:1,000 a-year is a very large sum for a Governor of Tobago to re ceive, independent of Staff appointments and their rerqui.ites—those " candle-ends and cheese-parings," Which in such offices form no mean addition. At all events, the Governor might have treated the Address more respectfully. Mr. CANNING is arrived in town, and the Minis terial arrangements will, of course, be completed without further delay. The Duke of YORK visited the KING yesterday. Yesterdhy morning, at ten o'clock, his Royal High • ness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE. accompanied by Colo nels PLATT and HUGINON, left the King's Palace at Pimlico, in his travelling carriage and four, for Brighton. Hi, NI AJESTY ente talus great respect for every thing relative to the Royal Family of the House of Sara' t. The KING has many relics of them, and to these he has now to add another, presented by a Lady of Edinburgh, upon the recent Royal visit. We are forbid to mention the Lady's name, who belongs to a highly iespectable family, and has been alluded to in woi ks connected with the events of 1745. Prince LEOPOLD was p' e•sented with a ring that belonged to MARY Queen of Scots, by the same Lady, when he visited Edinburgh. His MAJESTY wished to obtain a dirk that had belonged to Prince CHARLES, but the Chid - Lain in whose possession it was, having declined to part with it (as we have heard), the Lady alluded to declared her intention to present a kr.ife, fork, and Kith had belonged to the Prince, to his MAJESTY, if he visited Scotland. These relics were placed in the hands of Sir WALTER SCOTT, to be pre tented by him along with the gift of the Sisters of the Silver Cross. The KING received them most gra ciously, and desired his warmest thanks to be con veyed to the Lady, with the expression of his regard for every remembrance of the .4 unfortunate Che valier," as he called him. At the Drawing-room and the Ball, the KING took particular notice of the Lady, and always speaks of her present in a manner which shews his esteem for the donor, and the high value he sets on the gift. The knife, fork, and spoon, are of the finest silver; their handles are richly embossed with the thistle, and the ends of them are adorned with the rose. The letters " C.S." are shortly and conspicuously marked on them. They were manu factured in Holland, and consequently are impressed with the Dutch plate stamp. They were contained in an old case, which the Lady intended to have re placed with a modern one of Morocco leather, but his Ma.setery'a good taste preferred their ancient garb. An Officer's widow, in the neighbourhood of Edin burgh, having sent in a memorial to his MAJESTY, of certain pecuniary embarrassments which she was la bouring under, in consequence of the loss of her hus band and one of her children, after a long and expen sive illness, his MAJESTY immediately transmitted her £lOO, through Sir WILLIAM KNIGHTON. The effect produced by the sudden and almost unexpected arrival of two £5O notes, at the humble cottage of the distressed widow and her helpless orphans, may be more easily conceived than described. Advices direct from La Guayra, of the 15th July, state that Puerto Cabello remained in the same state, desertions taking place daily from the Royalist forces there, and.great misery prevailing in the town; but the Colombians were not strong enough at sea to prevent supplies being thrown in. Everything was going on well at Caraccas, and BOLIVAR expected soon to artive there from Quito. .

Extract from a letter received in Glasgow from New York, via Liverpool : 0 New Yam, Ammer 16.—Priday eight cases of yellow fever were reported to the Board of Health. Saturday only one rage was reported, Monday one, Tuesday five Wednesday two, and yesterday (Thursday) two—all these have been traced to Lumber street, the infected district; and strong precautions are now taken to have it sufficiently fenced up and all its inhabitants removed.' However successful the efforts to stop its progress may be, it has given a blow to our trade for this year, from which we shall not recover until the spring. The reports in the country are so ex travagant, that the greater part of the southern merchants would not come into the city, but have gone to Philadelphia, Boston, Etc:* Calcatta Papers to the 6th of March have arrived. According v. advises from Lucknow, a letter had been received there from Major FAlTHrues camp, stating that the fortified village of Buragong. late in the pos-ession of QUASIM ALES KHAN had been taken by the English troops, alter a short conflict, attended with some loss. It is added, that the proprietor of the village, rendered desperate by the oppression heaped on him by AGA Masa, and the appearance of a British force, had burnt no less than six or seven towns previous tohis being attacked. Lady HASTINGS had suffered from severe indisposition, but was re covered. The Governor• General was at Barrackpore. -- - Sir WILLIAM Annus is now making a two months' tour on the Continent, for the purpose of visiting the various foreign Ophthalmic Schools,;and establishing a correspondence with them for advancing the know ledge of Diseases of the Eye. The Schools of Ger many are said to be superior to those of any other country ; and there is reason to hope the happiest results from the proposed interchange of information apon the subject of that delicate organ. Miss STRPRENS, it is now said, is expected to be engaged at Drury-lane Theatre at twenty : five pounds per week. Mr. LIsToN, it is said, has. been offered the same sum. The Marchioness Dowager of HERTFORD is sup posed to be the richest Widow in the kingdom. Her Ladyship has Four Hundred Thousand Pounds in money, and One Hundred Thousand in land. Sunday last the banns of marriage or one solitary couple only were published in Maidstone Church, a circumstance quite novel at this season of the year, having often before been as many as twenty or even thirty couple asked there on a Sunday. Such are the dreadful consequences resulting from the New Marriage Act—an Act which has struck more terror into the hearts of his MAsztry's loving subjects than any Bill passed by Parliament for many years. The great difficulty of the New Marriage Act was very materially felt, a few days sirce, by a Gentle man who went from Hastings to Kingsee, in Devon shire, for a certificate of his baptism, and from thence to Ilminster, in Somersetshire, for a certificate of the Ladyc baptism, to whom he was going to be married. New difficulties still occurred, and a license was re fused at Ilminster : he was referred to Chichester, when the Registrar could not grant a license for Hastings ; from thence he went to Lewes, where it was at last obtained. He had travelled nearly sex hundred mike to accomplish it 1 WEST LONDON THEATRR—The performances at this elegant little Theatre were repeated last night to a crowded and fashionable audiencej and honoured with repeated plaudits. .~ T "~^,.` R ~x ♦ ~ J~ fAci great evening- li:following, among many other toasts, were tvliin The' _ The Royal Family; may they never forthsislllllllllloVihkh placed theme* the Tirmse. The nAtaal AN. in giving " Mr. Hume." said, that saw with great 'atisfaction, the company then as iambi's', and all mkt combining to, pay respect to a Gentleman who had distinguished himself so much,' 'and whose merits were as well known as his name. If there be any; difference in political opinion among us, yet we join unanimously in our admiration of the man, whois the prime supporter of the rights of the subject, and the watchful guardian of the public ex penditure. But, besides Mr. Hume's well-known merits, he could say, that every individual who had his cause in the hands of Mr. Hume, might be sure of kindness, dispatch, and satisfaction: He would make no unnecessary compliments, and therefore he gave,- * " air. Hume," (three times three)—drank with raptutous ap plause.—Tune, " There's nae luck• about the house when our gudeman's awa." Mt. HOME thern addressed the company at cons,. derable length. He was fully sensible of the honour conferred upon hini by such Meetings as the present, and the assistance he derived from them in his public capacity. It was one of the many important advan tages which Englishmen enjoyed under the British Constitution, to be thus enabled, at Public Meetings, to mat k their (Onion of the conduct of public men. Whilst he was well aware of, and highly valued, the advantages which the glorious Revolution of 1688 had secured to this country, he could not shut his eyes to the many abuses also,which, in lapse of time, had crept into that Constitution. It was the duty, therefore, in a peculiar manner, of every person seated in the House of Commons, to use his best exertions to remedy the existing abuses—to improve, protect, and secure those advantages which we ought to enjoy. If he had read that Constitution aright, the liberty of the People, the independence of Parliament, and the dignity of the Crown, were equally to be guarded and valued; and it behove.] every member of the community equally to protect them all— (Hear). — The Hon. Gentleman then took a retrospective view of the state of public affairs; had a sly hit at the Country Gentlemen, who, whilst their pockets were full, hallooed on the extravagant expenditure of the Pitt system ; and mentioned, as an example of the conduct of the House of Commons, that only forty six Members voted for his motion for reducing the Army from 81,000 to 71,000. He concluded, amidst loud plaudits, by assuring the Meeting, that his hum ble exertions should be continued in that course which had hitherto met with their approbation. " The Navy and Army."

In the absence of his Noble Friend, Mr. Hyatt would offer the Meeting thanks iii his name, for the manner they had received the toast. The Noble Lord would have derived much pleasure to have been pre sent on this occasion, but previous engagements pre vented him. Mr. Hume then stated the course which the inquiry before the House of Commons had taken relative to the Petitions from the Royal Burghs, and entreated the Burgesses of Aberdeen and of Scotland to persevere in their demands, and to afford every assistance in their power to those advocating their cause in Parliament, until success should crown their exertions—(Hear, hear !).

A man who keeps a shop in Ironmonger-lane, purchased a shoulder of mutton.at Mr. Pal mer's, butcher, and having paid for it, ordered it to be sent to kis house. The boy was dispatched with the mutton, and at the door of the house was accosted by a man whom he supposed to be the master, with— , . Well, butcher, you have brought the mutton ; carry it in doors, and tken run directly for two pound of beef-steaks, and bring back change for a one-pound note. The boy listened home, delivered the order, and soon returned with the meat and change. The man was still waiting at the door, and again said to the boy—" You have been g use a long time, and now have not brought the suet " The boy replied—" Yon did not order suet." But I insist 1 did order half a pound s have you brought the change?" The boy replied—" Yes." The 'man then pulled out an old pocket-book, and pretended to put in a one-pound note, and giving it to the boy, told him to be careful of it, and bring him back the book with the suet. He took the change and beef-steaks, and sent the boy back. On hie master ezamining the pocket-book, nothing but a piece of blank p p r red rwas found resembling a note. The master inintediatelpsw to the house, but to no purpose; all traces 'were lost et man, meat, and money. De.SPIRATZ AFFRAY AT CHIPPIINHAM, AND A MAN Ett.Lan.—Saturday, between ten and eleven o'clock at night, a party of young men, about thirty in num. ber, from Langley Burrel, and Kingston Langleyi entered Chippenham, armed with bludgeons and other weapons, when they assaulted and most dread fully beat all persons they met, without any distinc tion. We are sorry to state, that Mr. HALL, a re. spectable saddler, who was called out of bed by the cry of " Murder," was taken up and carried home dead. Mr. RiYaoLna, a brasier, lies without any hopes of recovery. Mr. Mom', a constable, lies also in a most deplot able state, and upwards of twenty other persons are suffering under severe contusions. Nearly twenty of the assailants, including two'ring. leaders, who are most respectable farmers, are now in custody. This shameful and desperate outrage is said to have originated at the last Kingston Langley Revel, where some offence was taken at the conduct of some young men sat Chippenham.
