W., SOeth, and ending at S. E. mutt, in my opinion, have been much more severe with the Jamaica convoy, which sailed some days previous, *and should they have encountered it in the Gulph, which I make no doubt of, the consequence from a barrow navigation must be great." The Earl of MARCH has embarked for the Nether lands, having been appointed Aid-de-Camp to the P r i n ce Of °RAMA:. . Mr. CANNING had an able co-adjutor in Lord La .itsoti GOWZR,.in his negotiation with the Princess of WALE,S. It is known that these two distinguished persons atone had her ear on this subject, and that her determination was not communicated either to Princess CHARLOTTE or any other person, till after the letter was delivered to the Earl of LIVERPOOL. Her Royal •Ilighness will have a greater revenue to spend than any individual in Germany, compare : 'vel }wak ing , es she will not, like the Sore . . ~ have the formalities of a Court to Certainly, as Mr. TIERNEY stated, It was not i isegiemplation of Parliament that the sum Ar ic r in h g e is , hliihme should he spent abroad.

It is said that no further reduction of the military establishments will be permitted to take place, until the Congress is finally closed. This is melancholy news to the Stockholder, as well as to the country at large. It is mentioned that the Duke of WELLINGTON, on his arrival at Brussels, is to invest the Palace So- Netherlands that cit .- ith the In- VEREION of the . in y w.

MY Loan,—Whilst the nation, from the throne to the cottage, with one simultaneous voice, is ex pressing its full tide of joy, and every altar is offer ing up prayers of gratitude to the Almighty Disposer of Events, at this happy termination of a sanguinary and destructive war, it cannot escape the observation, 1 1 nor fail of exciting the regret, of every 'reflecting mind, that a large portion of our fellow...objects, the Catholics of England -and Ireland, arepsecessa- My precluded from partaking of this cup:it play sure to that full extent which their loolty 'and see! entitle them to ; and this alloy to their happiness will proceed from a consciousness that elute to them will not be followed by that entire participation in the blessings of the British Constitution, for which they, in common with other British subjects, have fought and bled to maintain. To repeat those cogent and irresistible arguments, embracing the measure of Catholic Emandipation, that have so often been adduced by the ablest writers, and sustained by the wisest statesmen the Empire bath produced, would be superfluous; and all that every well-wisher to his country can best do, in reference to this subject, is to endeavour to keep alive that sacred flame which would allow of liberty of consicence, without abridgment of civil rights— privileges which are dear to all men, and that all are alike desirous of enjoying. i And now that Addresses are coming forth from almost every city and village in the empire in favour of humanity and African independence, another its. cidental reflection naturally presents itself, creative of a rational hope, that our enlightened country men will, ere long, be prepared to make similar appeals in the cause of Catholic liberty—and that 1 those who are so justly adverse to the enslaving the bodies of Africans, will, by a parity of conduct, and consistently with the spirit of Christianity, no longer remain the advocates of laws which would enslave the consciences of Britons. I would also fain ho l m my Lord, that those gen tlemen who annually meet to commemorate that I pedal! of the PRINCE Rueter. By an official note from the Swedish Consul at Algiers, dated 4th of July, it appears, that the Dey had liberated all the detained Swedish ships, and de clared that he has no wish to go to war with Swe. din ; his only ob j ect being to have security for the &nivel of the present ships, which, according to certain information ' had reached Malaga on the 7th of July, and sailed on the 9th for their destination.

Some professing to have private information, say, hover improbable the thing may appear, that these transports are likely to he required for the use of the French Government, to carry out French troops to St. Domingo. At Magdalen Hill Fair, Winchester, on Tuesday last, there was a numerous show of French cows, which fetched from 81. to 121. and many of them remained unsold. There was a fair show of horses,l Which had a dull sale, and a very declining price. Cheese was full 14s. per cwt. cheaper than at last year's fair. The fair was infested more than usual by pickpockets ; a French dealer in cows had his 1 ppcket-book stolen, containing notes to the amount of 541. and many other robberies were committed. The Gentlemen of the Grand Jury of the Coenty of Bedford, in consequence of the backwardness of the crops this season, have come to a determination to suspend shooting until the 14th of September. .
