The consequence l as been, that their exertions have frequently borne go proportion to their resources, and that in con• eliding separate and disadvantageous Treaties of P u ce, they have not perceived. how far they aban doned the rest of Europe, while they were sateicing thenselves. Government yesterday received diapatehes from C iteral CaaVEURo and Admiral MURRAY, dated at the Cape of Good Hope, March 26 —Admiral 1411/1 AY arrived there early in March, and was very shortly after joined by General Clall/UaLl and Captain STOPPOttI, with the transports and troops. These Dispatches were brought by the Pauline, and wlsee she left the Cape, the whole expedition was preparing to sail. The troops, we are happy to state, were all in high health and spirits. When this ex- 1, peclition sailed from Falmouth, conjefture, with m oped to its destination, was divided between the Mauritius and South America. Ttie former now appears to be the more probable of the two. About a month befote the Pauline sailed, the Harrier had arrives s i at the Cape from India. She bad parted from the Bl4n4eing, bearing Sir TKossas Tammetasit's flag, and the Jana frigate, in a burricatv, to the Eastward of the Island of Mada pscar. It was supposed that these vessels had run tot that Island, as neither of them had reached the Cape when the Paulina came away. A Mail from Tonningea arrived yesterday, with letters and papers from Hamburgh and Al tana to the 21st. They contain intelligence from Berlin to the 14th, which states, that Rona. item ass at Kitting on the oh, viewing the esitions of his troops in that quarter.—The Emperor of RUSSIA, the King of Bautista, and Lord llexcursisow, were on the 4th at Bartens:ein. The siege of Dantzic will in all probabiliry bring on a general a4ion, but we have here eositive in telligence that it had not taken place up to the 9th. Tne Turkish fleet had sailed to attack the Russian, and an account of an engagement was expefted at Constantinople on the 11th of April. The coraluet of the King of Sweatm, if truly stated, strengthens the suspicion of an eeistusg negoeiati a for a General Peace. So far from Missing to ratify the armistice, he is said to have honoured General VON Esse'', who concluded it, with the most dis. tinguished marks pf approhation. We have also received Dutch Papers to the 24th instant. which farther shew that there was no foundation for the report of a general battle in Po land, in the beginning of the month. Ihe pacific rumours, which we noticed last week, continue to prevail upon the Continent. An article in one of the Dutch Papers, expressly states. o that no doubt is entertained of the mediation of Austria having peen accepted." . s-A The Prism of Water racket,. with Mails from Lisbon, is arrived at Falmouth ; she sailed on :he 12th inst.

The Plaintiffs are well-known ant retpett able booksellers in London. On the lit of OCto ben 1832, Mr. Constable commenced printing Tee Edieirsieek Reran', a work which was to be publish , ed quarterly ; the first !slumber was published in Dloher, 1:102, by Mr. Constable, in Edinburgh, ' And by Me. Mawmen, a beokselleo, in London.— ' About that time Messrs. Longman and Co. receiv ed a letter from Mr. Constable, stating, that he had been desired by the Editors of The Ediniatret Review to offer them that work, provided they agreed to pay half o: the paper, printing, Ste. arc. and to sop- ' ply all new 'publications which 'the'Editors might ' have occasiou for, in calming on said work. It stated alsn, that the first Number had been com pletely published, and 1260 copies of the setoed I Number, of the expense of which, they (Longman 1 and Co.) most needs bear a *pare. ' The Learned , r Counsel observed, that the Defendants meant to allege that 'he Plaintiffs were not proprietors, but whet he was to show %els, that they were joint pro prier:ors Aro g with Mr. Constable ; the Reviewers and Editors being to be paid certain stated sums, wattle all the emoluments of it were, by the Agreement which had t.keu place. in cense qeence of the offer 'made - by Mr. C.lnrtaiil2, to belong to Mr. Constable, ar.d also to 'Messrs.

In answer to the above letter, Messrs Longmen and Co. wrote to Mrs Constable, expressing themselves flattered with the communie cation he Mid made, and string that they had On fei red -.with Mr. l' roman up n the inbjell, but had not y.e finally determined upon it. Mr. Constable Again wrote in reply, strine, that the Plaintiffs were stiff at liberty to take. te...fetre i.s the wart, if they pleased ; referred them again to Mr. Mewm in, and wished them to inforni him as soon as they had made up their minds. On this the Plaintiff: applied to .4r. Maieman, who agreed to ere inp 'All his in terest in the writ k, upon their paying all the expenses he had incurred. In conseceience of this, Messrs Ldngman and Co: informed Mr. Constable that they had 'n3 oieetion to take a share in the work as a stock borik, that is, to share eau illy with the pro prietors, whether the sale MIS' grecer in London than in Edinburghl• Mr. Constable 'accot'dingly agreed to thii proposal' of making it it stock book, wished them to advertise it, and when they publish- ' ed a new won k, to send a copy of• it to him ler the use df the proprietors and editor,. Undel such agreemere, the work has since been published rep lady, and the Plaintiffs have regularly borne half the eapenses of the work, and furnished knots to the Reviewers, down to the preseut time.

It has since been printed by Mr. Constable, in Edinburgh, and sent to Mr. Murray, in . Londm. By the agree ment they had entered into, it was understood that Mr. Jeffreys was to receive 2001 as Editor, and the RevieWers were to be paid so much a sheet fir what they supplied, so that the work belonged to the • publishers, and to no other person. This work has' . turned out extremely profitAhle, elthorgh at the 1 time Messrs l e eng . men ens ged in it , it was very . I doubtful whetter it would ° be successful or not.

On Monday night, softie villains, who infest St. Giles's, attempted to :oh a waggon as it was passing through fitoad.street, and in endeavouring to sips Prebend them, a watchman and two respeetabo young men were wounded, so that their liver are despaired of. Mr. Flint, one of the Churchwardens of St. Giles's, attended yesterday marling at Bow ,-street (Ace, and gave information to Mr. RIAD of the circumstance. who sent a Clerk to take the 'wounded men's testimony, in case of their death. Tire following are the particulars : John Watkinson, of i 7 o. 164, Heborn, said, that on Monday night, about' halt past elevela o'clock. as he was returning home, he saw a waggon standing in Holborn, and• found the waggoner near it, iteM his face bleeding eery much, and a great effusion of blOod from his month. He asked eh waggoner what was the matter with him ? He said a man had been behind his waggon, and attempted to rob it, in preventing which, smile person had struck him ; while he spike, two men were standing by, aad the waggoner said he could swear that one of silena was the man that knocked him down. Mr. ketile, who was standsag by, advised the waggoner to chaise Use eratch with him ; when tboavatchman came up. and was about to take the man the waggoner charged with knocking him down, the man's com panton pushed him iound, and he made off. Mr. Watkinson followed him, and overtook him a short distance off. and had go: him against the nutters of a clothet.shop in Holborn, when the man's com panion came up, and without saying any thing. stabbed Mr. Watkinson near the backbone, just above his kidneys. Edward Watkins. of No. 183, Holborn: said he was standing a few dome from the house where he lodges, about halt past eleven o'clock on Di/onday night, in con veiration with a friend, and learning that Mr. Watkinson was securing a man, who had attempted to rob a waggon, he went to assist, when a man came behind him and cut him in the lower part of his belly, near four niches in length ; the conse queoce was, his bowels came out. He was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where every care was taken of his wound by the surgeons. We are sorry to say, his bowels came out twice in the course et y esterday morning. Michael Coleman, a watchman, belonging to St. Giles's, was en 'duty, at the time, near the spot, whin he heard the any of " st . Oo thief !" and ob seived a man running towards him ; he stopped bim, but the man soon liberated himself from him. by rutting him with a sharp instrument, in the lower part of his belly. The watchman, liowever, very cotiragemttly knoc,jced him down with his waif, as he was naming off; the villain got up again. stabbed him in hit lett cheek near 116 ear, in Mean% and gave him a severe cut on his breast, and then ran off. The watchrmiti, although having received so many wouhds, pursued him to the corner of Bow -street, Bloomsbury, when his bowels coming out, lie was obliged to give up th• pursuit. and he fell. He was conveyed to the Middatses Ho<oitel. where he aad Mr. Watkinson lie, WitilNit 0 42 T hopes of recovery. ~ f~ r ' !
