The Amendment made by the Commons on the Wear Suspension Bill, limiting its duration to the 'No: March, was agreed to List night by the Peers, an 'he Bill received the Itoy.dAssent by Commission. Last night a Mail attived•from Flanders, and this zoning one from Id°lland. We are happy to find that every where there is the r'ir.cct of an abundant harvest, but in the mean tele the sufferings of the people have urged them in rufous places to outrageous proceedings. On the there was a riot at Sierre ; the populace pillaged t corn warehouses of Mr. VARLUDEN, who thought i!frudent to withdraw from their fury by going with 1..; family to Antwerp—the Authorities succeeded in vztoring tranquillity,, At Lockeren the people broke AFC windows of a corn merchant. At Mons they were t. r a momentapprehensive of still serious disturb Ances. —The populace, after plundering the butter market, vPnt to two corn magazines to break them open, but i‘e activity of the police prevented this: mean time a:ree or 4,000 labourers, employed on the fortigca. ,i;..rs of the city, attempted to get into it; then the rtes were shut, and the cannon pointed at these de. hded people, and firm measures put an end to these ,Hrciers. TrAnquillity seems wholly re-established Mons. Every where there is a general cry of • Bread.! Bet these public distresses happily ap.• p.rch their end. The Brunele Oracle of the 27th ult. contains long devils of similar disorders at Cambray, Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, and Namur. At Antwerp; 18 seise's, laden with corn, arrived on the 221 and 23d, EA 21 vessels on the 25th. The KING has granted -,OOU hectolitres of corn to the Grand Duchy of kremburg, and similar assistance to other Pro vinces s.nd Districts. From the following' extracts, it appears that the Dutch hate met wirli some opposition in the occupa• t:oa of the Islands in the East Indies, recently deli saed up to them by this country; u HAARLEM, JUNE 27. '• Private letters from /Wily dp to the 6th of Jel• tity, say, that in the beginning of December the 1::!and of Banca was delivered up-by the English to t!.e Dutch. The Iris (cot vette) has sailed to Borneo o take possession o f Banjarmassing, fur it seems that natives made at first some opposition, and that a rl.mker of exiles and malefactors who were there, rade use of the opportunity to go on board and to return to Java. " Afterwards the occupation of Banjarmassing r,ally took place, but the exiles who had ianded in bra, being supported by several pirates, could not b , kept in check by the troops ; and news was k•osght that a corps of several hundred men had across the mountains, in order first to attack 4 , ntam, and thee to venture towards Batavia. Be- Icrt the military force from Batavia, Samarang, &c. c::11,1 be drawn together, the exiles appeared before e post of Indromaye, some miles from Buitenzorg, and compelled it to retire ; but, on the same night, the troops of the Regency of Preauger, some cavalry, and Netherland artillerymen, with two pieces of can non, were cellecred, and the Rebels were attacked I? surprise. They endeavoured at first to resist, b u t Log terrified by the cannon, they were completely rftted-100 killed, and the rest, both wounded and lode:ays, taken prisoners, and will be shortly sent to t:,e Moluccas, when our troops go to take pus snsion of them. . - On our side we lost ten European soldiers, seve ral wounded, and some belonging to the native corps. " The pirates above mentioned are extremely bold, theY even ventured into the Straits of Sunda, and :soy took a small vessel, and cruelly murdered all the Whites that were on board." The Dutch Papers received this morning, quote a , Atter from Leghorn, which states, that a repdrt is in ' c.:rulAtion there of.troubles having broken out at 14 . 1 1 a, and that it Is to this circumstance, the late dtpArtutc of General MAITLAND, along with Admiral Pukest, from Corfu, for that Island, is to be attri• . L Wed. I.Pgborn has been rather remarkable for it's roomers of ltte, and we make no doubt dim this may be Early considered as of a piece with the Algerine massacre in other atrocities, for which we have been indebted to vie sportive malice of otti French anJ Italian neighbours. The Paris Paper: ot F, Way and Saturday last have arrived: 'The Minister of Fin.ince has officially announced, that of the sum of 44,6.15.464 fr. or £1,860,640, beans the entire amount of the interest of the French national debt, due on the 24(1 of March last, these has been already paid 39,76.5,230 fr. or £1,656,884; and that the remainder is ready to be paid, without re serve, on application at the Bureau de la Dette The Directors of the Bank of France have, at the same time, declared a dividend of 41 fr. 50 c. per share, with an addition of capital to each shareholder, in the form of reserved interest, of 5 fr. 75 c. The Funds, partly influenced by these announce ments, are regaining their former elevation. The .5 per cents. were, by the last quotation, at 6.5 fr. 20c. The change which has taken place in the Ministry by the appointment of Marshal Gouvion Sr. CYR to the Naval Department, gives general satisfaction; less, however, on account of the removal of M. de Boucuaoe, himself a man of trifling influence in the Cabinet, than on account of hope the it affords of the dismissal of the Duke de FELTRE, as a consequence of this measure. It is understood that Marshal Gou srioN's appointment to the Marine Department is only a step to his reinstatement in the War Department, which he may be remembered to have held before it was accepted by the present Minister. There exists between these two Ministers, Sr. CYR and de FELTHE, an irreconcilable enmity, which renders it impossible for them to sit for any length of time in the same Ca binet. The appointment of Marshal Sr. CYR may be considered as a great point gained by MM. LAINE and De Cams, who will now bend all their efforts tol effect the removal of the War Minister ; in which case Marshal Sr. CYR. as above stated, would re sume the War Department, and resign his present office to M. PASQUIER, who would himself give up ,the seals to M. itavez, already his co-adjutor as Un der Secretary of State for that Department. By thesa arrangements, which are confidently expected, some degree of unity will be restored to the Ministry, and some degree of consistency to its operations. The dissolution of the Diet of Wirtemberg has been followed by Addresses to the KING from a great many parts of the country, disclaiming the conduct of the Diet, and desiring to be admitted to the bene fits of the plan of Constitution which they had re jected. These Addresses are almost wholly from the new Provinces ; the old States preset ving the most obstinate silence on the subffict. Yesterday, the answer to inquiries after the state of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, was, “ The Duke is a great deal better to-day." About twelve o'clock last night, in the House of Commons, when the CHANCELLOR Of the BECHE• QUER moved that the House should go into a Com. mittee on the Eitents in Aid Bill, Mr. PONSONBY was suddenly taken alarmingly ill. His situation ex cited great interest, and of course occupied the whole attention of the Members. 'The propriety of an im mediate adjournment was suggested, and a motion that the Honse should adjourn, was instantly made and agreed to. The Right Honourable Gentleman was conveyed• behind the Simmons% Chair, were he remained for some time in a tainting fit ; 'and was afterwards (borne on the arms of seven or eight mem bers) carried in an horizontal position, apparently in a lifeless state. from the House, across the lobby to the office of the SPEAKER'S Blcretary. Medical as sistance having been promptly procured, the Right Hon. Gentleman was let blood; symptoms cf reco. very manifested themselves, and he was soon after able to leave the House in the carriage of Earl GREY, who came in great baste upon the first intelligence of his friend's danger, and :hewed a degree of interest amounting to agitation. All the Members, indeed, evinced great anxiety. The CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUIR did not go till he heard that Mr. PoksoN ay had been declared out of danger. The Sreastett re. mained in the House notwithstanding the adjourn. rent. It was impossible for respect- to have been more fully &hewn than it was on this occasion. It was about half past twelve when Mr. POSSONBY was taken to his house in Curzon street. The system of iron paving seems to be coming into use in the Metropolis, and promises to be highly be neficial. Already the stone paviours are alarmed for the eafety of this great City, and with much solicitude wish to call upon Parliament to prevent :tie laying down of such an immense area of an electric conductor as will bring all the thunder to London '.—How comes it that Parliament have so long suffered the Thames to'pass so near this great Metropolis From the present temporary stagnation of the mer cantile part of this kingdom, it is computed that there is at this time upwards of three millions of capital no. employed by the Bankers and Traders. The PIUNCE REGENT has granted a pardon to John Robertson, who was condemned at last Circuit Court, Aberdeen, on condition that he be transported be yond seas for life.—The sentence of death passed against Pringle and Sniki, at the last Glasgow Cir cuit, has also been commuted into transportation for life. It has come out on the examinations of the priso ners now in custody, in Nottingham county gaol, ow l charges of being concerned in the late outrages, that several of them were in situations far above want, being persons of small property, and that others were in the habit of earning from 15s. to 245. weekly. COVENT-GARDBY TIMM. Last night, Miss O'Nett.t. performed her favourite part of Juliet, in SIMICSUAIRE'S Tragedy of Romeo and Alio; she never appeared to more advantage, or displayed more delicacy, soreethess, and discrimination, in this very interesting character.—More splendid boxes we have not witnessed, or a more crowded house. Mr. C. KV.1131.E, as Howse., and Mr. Jowls, as Mercurio, were very tifectiv., and received' their • tribute of approbation. • - - Aktili6A. Nee► York P.:pers tn the WI ar..l Dost.-n P.Ters tc the 9th of June, r.sched us at the mnrr.ent when this Paper was putting to Press. The Boocrt Zdverther 01 the 7th stated As follows " Our acc ,, tlrts km South cti meriza arc very fi tt• tering. It will be . seen by r.kises v.::ich we rt.'.;;:d: this day, that the Patriots' cause is continually in creasing in - strength. The Province of Caroni, in Venezuela, which hitherto had taken nn pie in the contest, has declared for the liberty of the Country." • FROM THE MERCANTILE abveltll:•:Elt, JCSE 3. " The Patriot General Mina is sa'd to have sailed from Gahiest. n with a considerable l:::pedition, and arrived off Tempico, which plate he intended to attack. He was well provided with cannon and am munition, and effetted a landing in th vicinity of the town without opposition. He had succeeded in forti lying his position, which would afford a safe harooor and protection to his shipping, to cover his retreat and re-embarkation, if he should be ur;luccessful, of which, however, there was no apprehension, as his means were considered fully adequate to the reduc tion and occupancy of the place. " The Royalists under Morillo have met' with a severe defeat. Still more auspicious are the circum stances attending the Brazilian Revolution. If our infortnation be correct, the whole country has fol lowed the glorious example of the Province of Per nambuco, with such unanimity, that the Patriots have little to tear from the assaults of the Royalists. We cannot but contemplate with feelings of admira tion the wisdom, moderation, and firmness, which have characterized the proceedings of the Provincial Government of Pernambuco, in every step of the Revolution." ATRICAN LIPEDITION. SIERRA LEONE, MAY 12. Accounts of rather an unpleasant nature have just reached us from Captain CAMPBELL, commanding the Expedition in tke interior : he had been stopped some time past, about 200 miles up the river Rio Noonez, by the natives, in consequence of the country he cashed to pass through being at war with those he is now with ; he has lost nearly all 'his cattle, and a great number of men, and is afraid they will be obliged to return, as it is now almost impossible they will be able to reach any place of shelter before the rainy season sets in. lam afraid, also, that all com munication between Captain Cararaem. and Sierra Leone is cut off, by the following circumstance : Colonel MaCARTHY, Governor of Sierra Leone, hay ing received intelligence of two vessels, supposed Americans, under Spanish colours, taking in slaves, up the river Rio Noonez, at the town, whose Chief has always been considered as a staunch friend of the English and the Abolition, and the very man by whose' means all correspondence between us and the Expedition has hitherto been kept up : he is a power fnl Chief, and a well-informed man, having been educated in England, and, I may say, always been in the English pay ; that is, receiving valuable pre. sents from time to time from the Governor. The Colonial brig was sent to ascertain whether it was so." Ou her arrival, finding it was the case, a message was sent to this Chief, requesting his assis tance, if necessary, in capturing these vessels (a brig and schooner, well mannedisnd armed), who apps. rently seemed determined to make a desperate resis tance: he not ouly refused, but sent word to say, that if attacked, he would protect them to the utmost of his power. Notwithstanding, they were attacked the same evening, and carried in the most gallant man ner. On gaining possession, the vessels lying neatly alongside the bank of the River. the Commander of the Colonial brig, finding himself cornpletely exposed to the natives, who assailed him on all sides with mus ketry, arrows, &c. was obliged, in his own defence, to turn the gun: of the vessels upon them. ' T he eon st.quence was, that in the morning the banks of the River were covered with dead. The vessels have since arrived at Sierra Leone. This unfortunate oc currence taking place before the Expedition are cut of his twitonet, he no doubt will avenge himself by annoying them—we are all afraid so. The Colony of Sierra Leone is improving wonder fully ; buildings are seen rising in all directions (thanks to the indelatigable.exertious of the present Governor), but I am sorry to add, the Slave Trade is still carried on all around us as bad as ever—even worse. We are informed that the French carry it on openly, both at Senegal and Goree. Our harbour is crowded with prizes taken,.carrying on this horrible traffic; a large ship arrived a few days back, prize to his Majesty's ship CHERUB, Captain FISHER, wit' 500 slaves on board. The Cumuli had also talscn French schooner, after a sharp contest, in which she lost several Officers and men. The schooner was, I am sorry to state, wrecked on the Island of Anna bona, on her passage to Sierra Leone, and the whole of the crew, consisting of two °liners and several seamen and marines of the Camas (besides some prisoners'that remained on board), were poisoned by the natives. Three transports arrived at Sierra Leone on the 9th of May, and sailed on the 13:h, with de tachments of the African corps on board, for the Cape. under the agency of Lieut. PRITCHARD, R.N. We have received Gazettes and Private Letters from Jamaica to the lath of May. They speak in indignant terms of the. constant interruption of nnvi gatten by the outrages of the Spanish independ• n privateers, which plunder without distinction all the merchant-vessels which fall within their power. The British flag has not been spared by these pirates, whose depredations have been of site most atrocious kind. General SAVARY, who was- lately spoken of as having arrived at Smyrna, under a borrowed name, with tne intention of proceeding overland to Persia, we have been assured (having subsequently altered his -plans), landed at Trieste, where be was seized by the Austrian local authorities, and from thence seat as State prisoner to one of the castles in Hun gary. It is also said that 11, number of BONAPalite's Officers have found their way to the Persian Court, sod having entered theurvicepf FULTZ MAY SHAW, King of Persia Tahevan, are now employed under the orders of the Shah 'hada of *llona.
