13UON.11 1 AIITE. The Favourite of :11 guns, has arr►ved at Ports mouth from the East Indi.ts ; left St. ILlena, the th March ; Ilaoaaparte w. 14 in gool health, but would not see strangers. It is agiin reportel, that there is a very deep laid and widely extended plot to effect to escape of Putona parte. There arc sail to be enbrmous deposits in the banks of every Uovernmsmt in Europe, belonging to llitonaparte himself, his brothers, sisters, relatives, sod adherents, of various descriptions and under differ ent names, which, it is added, are to be employed in cvcry possible way to deliver him from his present situ ation, and to embroil all Europe in the attempt to re store him to all his limner power. The manusvript from St. Helena has been translated . by Professor Krug, of Leipic, with notes, and a short • appendix. In a note upon the passage which speaks of the battle of Leipsic, and attributes the victory of the Allies to the defection of the Saxons, he says, " As this event (the defection of the Saxons), which was more • the result of instinct than reflection, took place, the French had been long in full retreat : this 1 saw with my eyes, and heard with my ears, for it was broad day light, and there was a great noise. One must not at . Prinpt to disfigure history." MR. ADOI.PHUS AND MR. ANDREWS. An unpleasant persmaal reneontre took place at the Clerkenwell S2ssions on Monday evening, between the above two Le.u•ned Counsel, not much dissimilar in its origin at least, from that which led to the duel between I\lr. Adolphus and Mr. Alley. It appears, that on the • day alxive-mentioned Mr. Andrews and Mr. Adolphus svere opposed to each other in a parish or pauper set tlement cause. In the mime of the pleadings Mr. Adolphus displayed n hat Mr. Andrews thought was an undue warmth, and used some coarse expressions not applicable to the complexion of the case. Mr. Andrews accordingly interrupted Mr. kdolplius, and intimated llLif he Thought un apology was due flir such language. Mr. Adolphus theaobserved, that if the Court consider ed itself insulted, he was bound to apologize, and he did thereby apologize accordingly. Mr. Andrews replied, that there was a party, in addition to tho. Court, to whom an apology was also due. Hereupon Mr. Adol phus retorted, with quickness and warmth, that he should make no apology to a person who hal received his education in a cobler's stall. Mr. Andrews made no farther remark, but sat down. Whea•the business of the Court was over, and when 'Mr. Adolphus was going down stairs, on his way home, --after =robing, he received a violent blow front an um brella held by Mr. Andrews. Mr. Adolphus, king siwiluriy armed, tried to return the compliment, and a .kind of fencing match or cudgel play took place between them. ':Mr. Adolphus being the more expert of the two ist a few minutes disarmed his opponent, and assumed the attitude of a regular bruiser, and as demo Fortune or Bellona (we know not which) still continued to smile upon hint, be gave Mr. Andrews a black eye at the first onset. Mr. Andrews was preparing to return the compliment with interest, when his uplifted arm was arrested by Mr. Cirdler, the Magistrate.—We need scarcely add, that both parties were immediately bound over to keep the peace. The Hull Pa&et says,—" We understand that this port is open for the importation of all kinds of grain (except beans), duty free, for the ensuing three months." The Hull Advertiser says—" It is with great plea sure we have to announce the laying on of a vessel at this port for the East Indies, to return hither with a car go. This is the commencement of trade with that country of which we trust to have many instances to relate in future. Indeed arrangements are, we understand, under consideration, which will probably lead to an extensive itercourse with that quarter of the Oahe. The situa tion of Hull, and its inland communication, render it a favourable situation for a.depot of East India produce ; and we see no reason why our fellow townsmen should :not participate in those commercial advanta!res, which Liverpool and other towns have alre uly derived, from engaging in what has been found hitherto a lucrative trade. A Letter _from Arundel, in Sussex, dated May 26, says :—" We are happy to announce the very Battering .agricultural report of the crops in the western division of this county, which is confirmed by the greatest ob servations of the fitrmers residing along the coast, the -South Downs, and in the fiTtile Weald of Snssex. The genial showers of rain, which have copiously fell for the last week, have miracuously improved the Lammas *own Wheats beyond all Iranian anticipation, and upon all soils they bear a most luxuriant and fruitful growth. 'The Lent sown Wheats have sprung up with the most healthy verdure. Owing to the long drought, the Oats do not promise well, and the crop appears thin and Atraggling in many places. I'h3 Barley sowing is not completed, but the late rains having nowpenetrited the ,ground plough depth, the business will be finished this week. The early sown seeds have rooted well, and already show the most gr:ltifying hopes of a plentiful. N.\TIONAb pro:luce.• The Clover Lands never looked let .rf, and the Grua Meadows will boar a rich swath, if ch.?. wea ther should continue warm. We feel a pleasure in stating, that throughout this district a greater breadth of Wheat has heel% s.►wu this year than was ever re nuinbered. The ample blossoms in the cyder countries are under stood to have sustained very little injury by the late frosty nights and tall winds ; but as yet it is impossible to judge of the probability of their produce, although appearances are generally fitvourable. 'flie refreshing rain experienced within these few days has had the most beneficial effects on vegetation. Puisorams IN TilF.
