British vessels, from the ports of the Mauritius, on the same terms, and a payment of the same iliititi as American vessels.' if this be the true construction of the order, .American vessels are not admissible into the 'Arts of the Mauritius under that order, as the l onvention between the two states does not e%tend to the 31.uritins.

CaLeensytox AT WAIIRINGTON.—In consequence' of the 4th of December being appointed for the friends of her Majesty to express their thanks to the " King of Kings," two of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, acting for the division of Warrington, were alarmed by the is:formation on oath of five householders of Warrington, who, it is stated, had made it appear to the said Justices, that tumult was likely to take place, and might be reasonably apprehended, in the said township on that day. They, the said 31aristrates, on the Ist of December, issued their precept, calling upon, nominating, and appointing 3110 householders to act as special constables. The awful day, big with the fate of the town, at length arrived, when from 5,000 to 10,000 people assembled, and paraded the streets of the town; and although uncommon means were resorted to, in order to prorcke tumult, riot, or felony, yet all was in vain ; this vast assemblage could not he incited to rebellion : and it is impossible to conerive any thing wore peaceable, orderly, and gratifying, than the "tort cosecant."

SINGULAR comPu.vgivr TO ROrALrr. A prosecution was lately commenced, by the proper officer of the government of Sweden ? against the Editor of a Swedish paper, for a libel contained in that paper on the Emperor of Russia. The law of Sweden (unlike some laws,) gives the defendant a fair chance in the se lection of his Jury; and, on this occasion, the defen dant voluntarily chose the Crown Prince of Swe den. the King's own son, as one 'of the Jurors. The King, on being informed of the circumstance, expressed his high sense of the compliment paid to his family ; and his hope that they would always administer the laws with justice; but he wished the choice In question to he given np; lest, on some future occasion, a prosecutor, who, likewise has an influence in the nomination of ju rors, should avail himself of this precedent ; select a bad Crown Prince as a Juryman ; and exercise his power as an engine of oppression. We do not recollect ever to have heard of such an instance of confidence on one side, and magnanimity on the oilier. The King of Sweden is the only sovereign of Europe who was not torn a Prince. Ile was formerly a common soldier t and his son, the Crown Prince is considered the most accom plished gentleman of the age.—(l9biseritatioa Smaday Paper.)

Many interesting. let ters were read, (tom persons of high respectability. who were prevented by various causes from attending the Meeting, and a Provisional Committee and Secre. tary were elected to manage the affairs of this patriotic undertaking, until the celebration of :he next Anniver sary in the City of Dublin, when it is expected that the site of the monument, and all matters relative to its erection, will be finally settled. KITS or TUC CHI ItCll l .—A cause of great inapt • once to every Clergyman in the kingdom was brought on on Saturday the 2d inst., before the Spiritual t7outt of Blandford. The Hector of Wyke Regis, and Wey mouth, in the county of Dorset, was, to his great a Ito nishmeitt, one day informed that the Churl Ito et dtit had taken the key of the Church from bins, declaring at the saute time, that the Rector had no r ght to the possession of it; that, as Churchwarden, it on ht to be in his custody, and that wheucver the Rector had say occasion for it he might have it; but that he should first acquaint him with the particular purposes ft.r hick it was *anted, and with the nature of the ditty. The defendant, however, when the business came be fore the Court, put an end to the suit, by admitting the Rector's exclusive right to the Ilse of the key. GREAT PERFORMANCE.—Mr. Mills undertook his great match to trot Isis favourite Arabian mare fifteen miles is harness on the Black-water-road, yesterday, far 200 guineas, and to carry fourteen stone, in a gig.. The mare went off at score, and did the first mile under four minutes. Immense sums were pending upon the match, and bet'ing, which at starting was two to one on time, was five to four on the mare after she had stone the first mile. She did the next three miles its eleten minutes and font- seconds, with plenty of work in her. Half the distance was performed in 29 minutes 10 seconds, and the whole was completed in a quarter of a minute within the hour. The mare did not seem fatigued ; she performed the distance without making a single break out of the trot. FATAL BOXINO MATCII.—A desperate battle woe fought in Canon's Marsh, near the Wass-house, Bristol, on Tuesday last, between John Dogherty, sod White, both Irishmen, in consequence of a quarrel which took place on the Sunday night, whilst drsititio9 at the Ship and Castle pnblic-house, Marsh-street. The men set-to about one o'clock, and continued away at each other till ten minutes past two, during which time they fought 41 ronnds. It was in truth 4 sleateria:,v ff. ri r , for White was taken from the ground in a state of cutnplete stupor, anti, we regret to add, has since expired. Doghertv, who, it appears, was the challenger, was also terribly wanted. 1 hey were bulls extremely powerful men. White has left a wife and two young children destitnte of support. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Wednesday, when a verdict of Mea slesegAter was returned against Dogherty. Di‘Ts tCTIVIL Dee. morning, about half-past seven o'clock, the low pre- mises of Nu. 3, Albany -street, possessed by Mr. Mitchell, baker, and the apartments immediately above, occu pied as the Adjutant-lieneral's office, were discovered to be on tire. The doors of the offu-e being forced, the hooks and p tpers were happily sated, although the dames were then making rapid destruction. By the. time the tire-engines arrived (a little past eight o'clock), the floor of the office bad fallen down, which afforded ample scope for their playing 'nixes:4oly, and roon extinguishing the flames, without havingcommunicateti to the fiats above, which are occupied by the Misses White, and other families, who were for &time in int mineut danger. As yet it is not satisfactorily aster-, tained whether the fire originated in the luster or upper apartments. Mr. Mitchell's loss, it is believed, Will be considerable, as only a small part of his fur aiture was saved. A guard of military is appointed 'to protect the premises.
