LONDON: SATURDAY ETEKING, ItZPTIMIIER 23, 102411. Extract of a letter received this morning from Bom bs v, dsted May : We are sorry to state that the Cholera Mcrbus has mane its appearance in this island, and is carrying off from 6 to 7 hundred per day ; and its dreadful Lis ages are not confined to the natives, but that Europeans were also falling victims to this dreadful malady. His :Majesty's 47th and 56th regiments, which had returned from the expedition up the Persian (ittlph, has but slightly felt it at the date of this let ter. The greatest precaution bad been taken by the authorities. All Europeans not belonging to the Wand were ordered to quit, in consequence of which the mercantile interest bears a very gloomy appear ore. Trade is at a complete stand, scarcely any cotton to be had ; and the Company's ships that bad arrived, were about leaving Bombay, half loaded with other cargoes. Merchandise had experienced a great rise. Oar news from the interior, states, some skir mishing hart taken place at Itotalkundirtb, with the notorious Hiu *u SLNO. The expedition to Palem bang has greatly embarrassed the authorities in Jaya. The government has determined to make another attempt, but it is supposed that the state of their Treasury word not admit of a fresh arma ment. The heavy duties levied on the produce of the country has completely annihilated foreign commerce; and American vessels that had arriv ed at Batavia with specie, for the purpose of traling, had departed without any cargo. The Malay population of Java are greatly discontented with their present master, and are ready to join in any way that may effect a change. The general opinion in B .mbay respecting the late expedition up the Persian Oulph, was very unfavourable. it having east the go vernment an immense sum, and the inhabitants a great deal of anxiety. The company's ships, Bari of BM cora', Thames, Warren Hastings, Thomas Coutts, as.; Free lediaman, hare arrived safe. 4.

Extract of a Letter from St. Helena, ?.d August.— Bonaparte still continues as malty as ever, bat he is in gu.,.1 health, seldom walks abroad, and receives but little rompany. The accounts received from the Continent for some days put, respecting the important interests which are at issue there, though not se clear. matiatisfactory in all respect, as might be wished, are calculated to relieve in a considerable degree, the anxiety of the friends of peace and liberty. To .appose that all at once the extraordinary impetus which had been given to the newly-mnancipated nations, would stop and t linly settle, and that the tietablisbroents, the interests, and the prejudices against which it had been directed. would sot re-act and endeavour to recover the petition* from which they bad been so suddenly and reluctantly displaced, world be to expect occurrences incona p itible with the course of nature. in the political, as well as natural world, great convulsions are loc. rented by those slighter agitations which continuo for a while, but gradually subside. The raging wares are, ea the cessation of the storm, followed by a heavy swell ; and the thaw that dissolves the lee of the polar regions, may occcasion for a season obstructions that embarrass the navigation of the u eau. To such phenomena may the great convulsion* that have recently occurred in tie political weld abroad be not inaptly compared.

Sa►t. 22.—His Majesty landed at Cowes on Wednesday morning, and took up his re sidence at the Royal Cottage at that place. As the weather yesterday was very fine, it is probable that his Majesty again embarked in order to cruise about the island. We understand that the King may be expected to disembark here about Thursday or Friday next, and that on Saturday or Sunday his Majesty will proceed to town, in order to be present at a Council on the following Monday. Whether his Majesty, after leaving town, will go to Windsor or return hither, we are unable to say ; but we under stand, from good authority, that his Majesty's ab sence from us will not be a long one: and that it is his intention to reside among us during the greater part, if not the whole, of the ensuing winter. The Duke of York who arrived here on Sunday, is daily to be seen riding or walking about the town. Sir B. Bloomfield, left us on Wednesday, for the Stud House, at Hampton Court. Indisposition prevented Sir Benjamin from accompanying his Majesty in his aquatic excursion. The Duke of Devonshire arrived yesteiday, and, after paying his respects to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, proceeded on to Hastings. The Marchioness of Worcester also ar rived yesterday, and will be joined by the Marquis on Monday. Cowes, SEPT. 21.—The Royal squadron, consist ing of the Royal George Yacht, with his Majesty and mate on board, commanded by the lion. Sir C. Paget ; the Cameleon, Capt. Mingay ; the Wye, Capt. Fisher ; Brisk, Capt. Montague Hinde, Sir C. Burrard, &c. anchored in our roads yesterday, it blowing fresh from the westward. Some Noblemen and Gentlemen resi dent here, went on board the yacht to pay their du tiful respects to his Majesty, but it speedily came on to blow a gale of wind, with rain, which checked all further communication between the squadron and the shore, and prevented an illumination taking place, and which was of necessity deferred until this even ing; and which, according to appearance from the preparations making, promises to be very splendid. His Majesty's presence diffused a general joy through out the town. This morning his Majesty appeared ou deck between 10 and 11, In excellent health, and re ceived, in his usual gracious manner, the presentation of respects of a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, who went on board. The weather was fine, and nu merous boats with ladies on board, rowed around the yacht during the morning, to gain a sight of his Ma jesty. The yacht remained at her moorings during the day ; and it is said that his Majesty has invited some of the Noblemen and Gentlemen to dine with him on board. HATMARSZT TntsTnit. —The proprietors have to con tend against *owe difficulties in making up their Operas, in consequence of the embargo which the Covent Garden Munger has laid on all the performers engaged at this 'theatre, on the nights they play. The New Musical there tianounced for this evening, (after Guy Manlier int) is written by the author of a Piyeess and Crowe," and "Ezrhange No Robbery," and is said to be of tnte Haymarket materials. Nonwicr, Sir?. 22.—0 n Monday, Mr. Robert Lase, printer, of this city, was summoned before Wm. Bert, Esq. Mayor, and other 3lagistrates, for printing and publishing certain papers, without entering into recognisance*, with sureties, and for nut delivering a copy of such papers to the distributor of stamps, as required by the Act of 60 (leo. 111. cap. 9, sec. 8 and 13. Bat on Mr. Lane's pleading ignorance of such an Act, and promising to discontinue printing snth papers in future, the Magistrates did not proceed to coaviction. The following are extracts from the clauses of the above Act " The Bth section of the 60th of Geo. 111. enacts, that no person shall print or publish newspapers or pamphlets without giving a bond, with sureties in the see of two hundred pounds, for securing 6nes upon conviction for libels. 'lhe 13th section of the same Act makes it Imperative upon du.. printer or publisher to send a copy of the paper or pamphlet, sigaed by himself, with his place of abode, and for every ne glect he is liable to a penalty of IOW." Captain Holtman and his brother, the Rev. C. Mahal's, Lad a narrow escape last week for their lives. They were sailing in a small pleasure-boat, on the River Ouse, near York, when the latter sccide,utally fell into the ri ver; and the Captain le endeavouring to save him *m eet the boat, and the RAM.

On the sitting of the Court, Charles Smith, and William Roberts, were indicted for feloniously stealing several doges bottles of lladeira Wine, the property of Messrs. Jonas and Walters, of Cloak-lane, in the Lity of London.—Ouiltv. .ti,hn Lox: w•asindicted for maliciously stabbing and rutting George North, pith intent of doing him some bodily harm. George North the prosecutor had absented himself a fortnight since. It appeared from the evidence Out was adduced, that the wife of the prisoner had gone to live with, George North, and that the prisoner inflicted these wounds for the purpose of getting satisfaction, but no direct evidence was adduced to swear to the fact. The Learned Judge, litcnasooore, did not think there was sii.hcient evidence in support of the charge, and be said that North having acted so ill, both to this Court and the country, in absconding, that lie would admit an attachment to be issued against him. The prisoner was acquitted. &mit Crawford was indicted for stealing a silver watch, the property of °svelte Curry. Thomas S''clod was Indicted for breaking into the dwelling•house of Margaret Tipper. and stealing there from a silver watch and souse other property. Margaret Tipper, the prosecutriz, while she was giving her evi dence was so agitated, that she fainted, sad was obliged to leave the Court. Several witnesses were called, but nothing sufficiently conclusive bring sworn to, the Jnry without enterin i into any defence, returned a verdict of Not Utility. METRROLOGY. Since Sunday last, the weather Las undergone very considerable changes. On Monday a heavy fall of rain introduced the usual equinoctial gales. which were succeeded by sharp airs from the north, and outer indi cations of approm hing winter. From the samellay we find a similar alteration had taken place threogbent the country ; and to the northward with muck serf:sty. Even in the neighbourhood of London, some mornings in the middle of the week, hoar frost appeared; and at Cam berwell, the ice on peddles, was as thick ass shilling. Such appearances are not surprising at this season of the year ; for It rarely happens that September passes off without a frost in the third week of the month. On the 20th it will be observed, as in the table helon , a thermometer in the Strand at p o'clock in the morning was so low as 43 degrees. &pee yesterday morning, however, the temperature has rapidly risen. At IS o'clock this morning, the mercury in the sane thermometer was 10 degrees higher than it had been the morning before. As a means of promoting a knowledge of the compare tire temperature of variants parts of the kingdom, we bare continued to collect the results of the obserratitms titt were made on the variations of the thermometer in different districts during the late great Eclipse of the Sun. At Oxford, the eclipse begun at 12 h. 20 rs. 49 see. and ended at 3 b. 12 m. 19 sec. At 24 as. past I, the thermometer in the shade steed at 65 degrees, at 54 m. past I, it sunk to 624. At 24 m. past 2 it ruse to 631. and at the end of the eclipse stood. as it had at 12 o'clock, at 66 degrees. At Cambridge. at 22 min. past 12, the thermometer was at 64 de grees ; and et the greatest observation, a few min. before 2, at 61. At Cheltenham, the mercury in the thermometer fell between two and three degrees doting the continuance of the Eclipse, which it nearly regained shortly after it was over. At Sheillie4d, it snub we degrees in a thermometer, with aa ordinary bulb ; and in another, with a blackened bath, it fell four deg. wore. At Hull, it fell from four to 5 degrees. In that place the Eclipse appeared to bogie at 12 h. 17 min. 40 sec., and to ead, at 3 b. 6 min. 14 sec. At Northampton, a thermometer, in the eau. at 40 min. peg 12, stood at 90 degrees; at 53 aria, past one, sank to 71; and at 17 mils. past three. rose to 86. At Ips wich, it was remarked, that a greater depression of tem perature took place, thus had been observed in former Eclipses. At the commencement of the Relive, the thermometer stood at 68 degrees, sad gradually sub sided, till 13 mks. after two, (about a quarter of as hour after the greatest obscsteation) when it stood at 11. It then begun to rise, and at the end of the Eclipse, was at 634; and at 18 wile. past four, rose to 64. Just be fore the Eclipse. a small quantity of gunpowder was fired instantly by a murex lens ; but iu the middle of the Eclipse, pre minutes' application was requisite he produce the explosion.

THE STATESMAN, Measures appear, indeed, to have been taken for main taining a very formidable defensive attitude ; and some fresh armament was said to be about to sail from Naples to strengthen the garrisons of those places in Sicily which still maintain the Neapolitan connec tion. But, after all, the inhabitants of Sicily may be quickly led to see that the enemy from whom they have most to fear is not at Naples; and the precau tionary measures they are led to take to assert their local independence, may find more proper employment in making common cause with Naples against a com mon enemy. The hostile movements with which they had been menaced, have, indeed, of late presented a less threatening aspect. The Austrian force, which seemed about to overwhelm the Neapolitans, have assumed the character of an armed neutrality ; and much industry is employed, according to the last accounts from the continent, to have it believed that the presence of these troops upon the frontiers, where, by the way, they appear to have entered into cantonments, has no other object, at present, than to maintain tranquillity i■ the Austrian Provinces. The truth is that the Em peror finds the spirit of freedom and reform must, form the progress of knowledge and the nature of things, con tinue, like the dawning light, to spread ; and where he to exhaust his force in a struggle out of bis proper bounds, he would only invite a more formidable enemy to start up in the heart of his dominions. Happily fur Spain the interests of that country are governed with a sagacity and firmness that now place her security be yond a doubt ; and though the Revolution in Portugal proceeds not with the rapidity which has distinguished those of the other struggling nations on the continent, we hare good reason to expect that it will be sure, though %low. Mr. Dishrowe, the English Charge &Affairs, who had lately gone into Lombardy, is already on his re turn to Switzerland. It is understood that all his time was passed at Como, and it is presumed that he was commissioned by his thsvernnient to take infor mation upon several facts relative to the stay which the Queen of England made at the Villa d'Este.— (Paris Pupa.) There are three Addresses to be presented to the Qaeea on Wednesday, •is , St. Like's, Edmonton, and the Lightermen and Watermen of the port of Lon don : the procession of the latter is expected to be very interesting ; they will proceed in boats and barges to Brandenburgh•hoase; some thousands are expected to attend. The parish of St. Pancras, situate partly in Chi chester and partly in its suburbs, has caned a Vestry of the parishioners, to consult on the propriety of voting an Address to her Majesty, which was carried in the sarmative pasaisessly.—Tbsie wlw emild attend, have since subscribed their frames, which at present amount to t!3, out of ?3O inhabitants. It is determined that a deputation of sin shall wait on her Majesty with the address. (From a Correspoadegot.)—.The King has been pleased to appoint Mt. Flanagan Chief Clerk in the Treasury•, in the roots of P. Cipriani, Esq. deceased, A Meeting of the Freemen of the city of Hereford, resident in London and Its vicinity, will take place in a few days for the purpose of addressing her Majesty. A requisition numerously and respectably signed by the Inhabitant householders of the parish of St. James's, Westminster, has been presented to the Church wardens, for the purpose of calling a Meeting to Ad dress her Majesty. The Parish Officemhaving de clined to call such Meeting, the requisit*sts have appointed a Meeting for the above purpoee, to be held in a commodious reuni within the Parish on Wednesday nest. The procession from St. Saviour's Parish, is, we understand, w go by water from Queenhithe to Bras denburgh-house. The embarkation 91 the company to be announced by a discharge from *1 pieces of can non, which are also to be discharged at intorvals until the party shall have been supposed to reach its desti nation.
