God Save the King ! let 10 Itotwitalthstanding the general appearance, sub & 4) opinion, and tranquillity, which we announced in _leeriest Paper, and which we are assured continues In the country surrounding Walla and the provinces i.Wellasse, Bintenne, end great part of W institute, .1 I the flame of rebellion has, within the last week, - broken out in the provinces of Hewahette and Doombera ; in the former, as far as nor information goes, in consequence of no irruption into it from the West of Wallapana, on the night of the 12th ear sent, of a body of rebels, who carried of forcibly the Rata Mahatmego of the province. As soon as the report of this outrage reached mead. quarters on the 13th, a force was detached to Elangrankette (a central position in Ilewaketty), under Capt. Glen 'mime, of the 73,1 regiment, who, the first night be established himself there, was attacked by a large nibble, and fired on from ill sides, but succeeded in driving them off, with the loss of a man killed and three wounded on she side of the rebels, and no ca. batty on ours; Copt. Glenholme nest day sent • 'patrol towards Itinerate, which fell in with a Las toreen and a Cooly, who had escaped from the In surgents ; by whom they had been stopped while bringing the post from Battelle, which they had taken from them : a Caffee who woo with them was knocked down with bludgeons and afterwards kilted. This event is the more to be regretted, as the detail of Major M'Doneld's proceedings in Ouse, which has been ascertained to have been in the packet, is for the present out of oar reach : all that is known is, that (as we have before stated) every thing was quiet about Walla, and that the native armed force of Saffregam was actively employed in Lower Olive. Captain Glenholme was not molested the nest might, and moved on the 15th to open a communication with Gonegamme; that last bad been reinforced by a party sent from Gandy, commanded by esptain Ket. tlewell, Royal Artillery, who from thence proceeded to Kimbulgantotto, a ferry on the Mahavillagunga, leading from Doombera into Ilewahetty ; from that place, on the 16th instant, an escort was sent with ammunition and provisions to Panetta, under the command of Lieutenant Hingston, 834 regiment, which was attacked by a numerous assemblage of re bels near Appaheware, and the firing kept up for near an hour on both sides ; the loss of the rebels is not known, as they were hid in jungles • on our side three European privates were woun ded. Captain Glenholme hes, at the date of our last accounts, re turned to Hangrankette without meeting any oppo. sition on his road. The same horde of insurgents at Appahemare had. on the 14th instant, made an attack on a party escorting provisions into Panells, on -which occasion we regret to state, that Lieutenant Sloper, 24 Ceylon regiment, was severely wounded by a musket.ball, which is lodged in his elbow; and a setjeant of 2d Ceylon else, w h o is since dead. There having been several reports of an attack threatened on Doombera, a reinforcement had been lent some time back there, and on the first account of the likelihood of insurrection in that province, Captain Since was seat forwaid with to additionid . 1 THE STATESMAN force. No accounts have been received of pis form ,or soy °tiler military.force, -hoeing met whit opposi tion ;,'bet 'convoy of bollocks; without escort, was plundered near' Hanwelle.

Atm 3.—The fair of Beaucaire has this year pteututed the moat adrantageoos regatta to many branches of commerce; but principally to the pro• ductiong of our own manufactures.—Printed linens and white cloths sold well. There was a great de. mind for those of the manufacturatf Nismes. Linen pieces,: especially of the coarser sorts, were easily got rid of. Fine Cottons did not go off well ; spun Cottons were in great demand there was a third more sold this year than the preceding one, and at very ad. sentageous prices. Groceries and drugs did not meet with heavy purchasers. Brandies were much asked for at the opening of the fair : the demands, however, were slack towards the close. All articles for tanning met with escellent sale, so as generally to exceed the hopes of the sellers: the quantity was less than at thetas' fair.—lron and other metals sold rapidly, and at good prices. Cash was abundant ; payments were effected with facility ; and there were very few protests. This fair was remarkable for the irangaillity that reigned throughout; ao riots or thefts were committed, sod the commercial me* who resorted thithereojoyed the utmost tranquillity. ,• 1 ' r^ PRICE OF STOCKS Till' Rank Stock 3 per Cent.

The British settlements end territories in the Island of Ceylon appear to be in a dreadful state. — We insert some further Intelligence of interest from that Colony. Governer BROWNRIGG has issued or• ders for proceeding against all persons acting or 'as sisting in the rebellion according to Martial Law.— , This Proclamation speaks sufficiently as to the state of the miserable country which he administers, and the anti-legitimate policy adopted towards the native possessors of the Candian Throne.—From the ac counts in the other articles, the rebellion seems to be more diffused and consolidated, the inhabitants more fierce, and the combats more frequent, than they were represented to be by any former advice.. The intelligence from Bombay, of theist of April, asserts, on the authority of letters from General SMITH'S camp, dated March 24, that the war with the PEISHWA bade fair to be speedily finished. — Bum Row was moving to Nagpore, with a force computed at 25,000 men, not knowing that General Dovrrox waited his approach. General Smut' pur sued him closely ; a battle was looked for, but no apprehension was felt as to the issue. Epidemic dis ease, we are sorry to learn, raged amongst the Bfi-,, fish troops in Witt, and had proved fatal in many instances. We have videos and very contradictory accounts respecting the state of the manufacturing communi ties of Manchester, &c. It is asserted, on the one hand, that many of the refractory workmen had come into the terms proposed by the Master Spin ners, and had resumed work.—On the other hand, we have received accounts which state, that the com bination remained unbroken, and tl:e workmen were unanimous i s n adhering to their demands of an in crease of wages, but that the proprietor of one cot ton factory, who all along kept aloof from the As sociation into which the other proprietors hod formed themselves, had at length acceded to the demands which It was the object of the Association to resist. This latter account is probably the true one. The tenswatien held out by the slate of the yarn-market, and the orders ,aid to have been received from abroad, may have induced this individual to grant his labour ers their request. But, unless in the way of exam ple, this instance of acceding is of no importance.— We are rather more disposed to consider in this light the strictures made on the conduct to be par sued towards the starving offenders, and the principles laid down in regard to the measure of their maintenance, which some of our cotem poraries are anxious to enforce, by other means than the convincing poser of their arguinents. A cryer out for strong measures and military interference (which, much as we condemn all combinations, we cannot approve until there is some actual breech 4 the law and the peace of the community), is gristly alarmed least our goods should be undersold in every market in Europe, end maintains that reiiing the workmen's wages most inevitably begettendepwith this effect. lie asks, without much apesaitt*of feeling for 14 ajtisetion of these is hose ',elflike% tq l kil restricted by' this aufvftvoite nnessity • twenty crQek, or is it not, su ffi cient for th e esste tessonce of o spinner and his family during the pre sent prices of bread, meal, 4c.?" Now, without attempting to justify any part of the conduct of the parties thus combining,we will ask in return, if, amidst thnbiessings of peace, a revived trade, and an in creasing public revenue, whether a man and his fa mily, who 'labour sixteen hours in the day, should •be ender the necessity of working a week at this ,rte for twenty shillings; and whether this sum is ac tually sufficient at the present prices of bread, meat, and, ell the other highirtanial necessaries of life, to • Maintain a man and his family, supposingthat family to be a very small one? It is but too troethat the goods by which many in this country live, cannot bear much addition to the eapence of their production; hot it is wonderful that no methods of preventing our manufactures from being undersold in foreigo mar kets should ever occur to these specolatiie except starving the labouring artisan, and shortening the hoors which industry requires for a renewal of its strength. A !emeltl of some part of the weight of taxation, which presses so heavily upon the. commerce of the country and the comforts of the People,woald be the most eligible means of avoiding the censeqeences of being undersold abroad ; and if every thing internally is in the rapid course of improvement which we are daily informed of, it is most grievous and unaccountable that no relief of this kind should be afforded. Is the system of taxation never to be reined ? Is no amelioration ever to be allowed to take place in the condition of the People, though the coffers of the Government are declared to be full ? Peace is here without its fruits. Men must labour on for ever in went and in fear, without even the solace of hope ; nay, it may be soon, in actual deo !mess and accumulated disease, for not even the Window Tax con be partially repealed, notwithstanding all the advantages which peace and the seasons, and the wisdom of our Government, are said to have con. (erred *pop es,. r notwithvanding improving trade, a reventits rising quartedy at a rate beyond the most sanguine espectations, sod foreign relations are so tiled, secure, and cheering. that nothing can possibly arise to disturb the peace of the world! ! We baste Maws further advice, to-day respecting the success of the whale ships. The Davis's Straits fishing seems to have been very productive. Letters received at Hull, nn the 200, mention the suCCOIIII of the following Davies S•raits ships of that pat, viz.: Eggleston, 10 fish ; tiiero, 8 fish ; and Tree. love, 4 fish. —dm— • Mails from Holland, with Papers' and letters to the 19th, have arrived. The arrival of a vest number of half•pay Officers in the capital, seems to have ex cited such alarm as to cause Government to adopt precautionary measures against the reduced and impu. dent intruders. An official order is said to have been transmitted by the Minister of the War Department to the Generals commanding military divisions, not to permit Officers of this description to visit the capital unless in very urgent cases. The worthy of their disobedience is to be the forfeiture of their half•pay. The Duke of WELLINGTON was expected et Cambray on the 14th. The review of the British troops is fixed for the begint)ing of September, after which his Grace will'proceed to Aix.la-Chapelle. We complete today the Hit of the New Parlia ment, by giving the names of the Members for Scot land. . TUE QuEtx.—Thursday afternoon her MAJESTY rode nut in Kew-gardens, in her small chaise, drawn by her potty, accompanied by the Duchess of GLOU CESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA. The QUEEN rode ont agaiartsterday, soon alter one o'clock, for a considerable time in Kew-gardens. The account of her MAJESTY yesterday was, " TheQuEEN has passed • good night, and continues better." • The Palace'ReateT has presented his beautiful Shetland pony, with a superb garden phaeton, to the Marchioness of HERTFORD. His Royal High ness's state coachman left Carlton-house yesterday . afternoon, to take it to Ragfey.liall, in War wickshire. Panes LEoeoLo was detained nearly an hour on his way to Dover, by a spoke of one of the wheels of his carriage breaking as he was going down the hill leading into Rochester, which nearly caused the car% rialto to break down. THE PAVILION AT BRIGIITON.—The model for the new pile is taken from the Kremlin, at. Moscow. There will be about nine domes, each resembling that of St. Paul's Cathedral. The music ruoin is in a state of great forwardness : it will be a magnificent apartment. About 180 workmen are now employed on the structure. When finished, the PRINCE RE GENT will reside there whilit the new improvements are going on at Carlton.house. The diamonds which the King of FRANCE presented, to the Count de Cuss on the occasion of his mar riage, are valued at two hundred thousand litres. • Lor4 YARMOUTH and Mr. WALPOLE, who have resigned es Members of the Sob-Committee of Drury. lane Theatre,• are espected to resume when matters are in a better train. Private letters of the sth inst. are said to have ar rived yesterday from Madrid,. which allege that Ike differences between Spain and Portugal are on the treiritcof being amicably adjusted, under the media lien of, this country, Russia, end Austria. The Croon of Madrid has, it seems, at last consented to p. resttorUhe city and territory of ()hyena, with the , Oder C - antons, as they are termed, which hurl beet, %greeted from Portugal by the Treaty of thdajas; ' ancyh t n 'the other hard, !h.q.:putt ot4tin Janeiro has , i ra l feetaigive up Nionte Video. as soon es a *Mak ' ' garrison shall arrive to take passion. ---~ "77 1 Por''"• . 11 . .

BOULOGNE, AUG. 17.—LordCoemtanzembuted, on Saturday morning, on board a fine new frigate, which arrived the preceding slay from England. He certainly goes to South America—they say Lima. LORD Cocuumm —The Courier has thought pro. per, like " the ass who had a kick at the dead lion," to spit a little of its venom at Lord COCHRANE, since his Lordship's departure from the kingdom. — Notwithstanding the virulent and unjust aspeisiee which the Ministerial writer has, injudiciously, cast upon the gallant " Admiral," we are confidendf assured that the political patrons and allies of thgl writer were anxious to induce his Lordship to draw his sword and exercise his talents in their catue ; and that overtures were actually made for that puts pose to that Noblemin's near relatives. It is a most remarkable fact, theta the Spaniards of Old Spain cannot gain a single British Officer loser?. their cause, and actually have not one em ployed with their armies in South America. Who, indeed, solid trust himself among seem unsupported by a British force ? The want of fries:cis in Ibis country to assist Old Spain, drives them to the necessity of teasing Government out of their liver, to exert the Soverigrei authority to prevent our gallant couotrymen frost serving the Patriots. Ministers are reluctant!, Obliged to act contrary to their own, and the :fishes of the nation. There-are letters in town from Bourdeaux, *hick mention the failure of several houses there ; some of thein for so large an amount as 60,0001. sterling.-- miefortane is owing to the firms in question having speculated largely in brandies.
