The effect of our withdrawing was to encourage the Peishwah's people, who plundered our canton ments without any obstruction from their own Go vernment, and also talked openly of the impending destruction of our detachment. Au officer on his road to Bombay, was ship attacked, wounded and Pndered, in open day, about two miles from na, and as far from the Residency ; and the language of the PeipliWah's Ministers was that of perfect est eat and disregard. Ilia Highness also coutin=posh his troops up towards ours, sa If in 'defiance; it was announced that lie itt tieudedlis form • camp b e tween our old cartoo ns's* and oar new position. and V.01)0, or 1,00 bone visaed down for illepOrpose. do this I sent • 6 •••••09_ hegginetlislt the motives of our move ment *reit bet be aiscoustrued, but that 'the Pasha might forbid these aggressions; at the same time eansoncing, that if any troop' attempt ed to mem ou as, as in our old position, we +mild be obliged to treat them as enemies. The Feist). web replied by a promise to restrain his troops. On hearing the first intelligence of the prepare tions ou our cantonments, and of our intended re moval to Kirby, General Setith, *holed been pre pared for a rupture on the Peishwah's part, came& hided his force on Tooltumba, recalling his detach. tarots from the °hams; he likewise ordered the light battalion, which was en its route to join him, to return to Se roor. These proceedings having at tracted the Peishwah's notice, and being likely to bring on a crisis, which indeed was rapidly ap. proaching of itself, I wtote on the day before yew' terday, to order the light battalion, and 1.000 of the auxiliary horse that were at Seroor, to march to POOlll. They had made one ordinary march of 11 miles, when the intelligence of their approach reached the Peishwah; his troops immediately got under arms, and all sorts of preparations were made in the city. This sort of agitation was by no means uncommon for the last ten dye. and I therefore merely sent it swag, to ioquire the cause, with out making any corresponding preparations. The answer brought by the Peishwith's 'lackeyl at the Residesicy was, that our line at Kirky had been under arms from day-break till Mit-rise (which I found had been the case), and that his Highness was making corresponding preparations. I sent to say. that from the distance of Kirky, I was not ac quainted with the circumstance—that the 'racked saw there were no preparations even for defence at the Residency-sod that be might assure his High ness that there should be none in camp. The mackeel then assured me t that the Peishwah would immediately discontinue all his preparations. He went into the city to deliver my menage, and we remained quiet, although a battalion of Gokla's took up ground between the Residency and the cantonment, at the distance of half a mile from each place. At length the tracker] returned with Wittojee Naiek Gykwar, an immediate servant of the Peish with's. who said that his Highness had heard of the approach of General Smith, and the near arrival of the battalion from Seroor; that this was the third time that we had assembled troops at Poona; and the last time we hod surrounded the city. His Highness, therefore. was determined to bring things to an early settlement. His Highness desired that the European regiment should be mot away, and the motive brigade /*doted to its usual strength i that our cantonments should be removed to a place to be pointed out by his Highness ; that the Rai. deuey might eetnein; and tio these terms his High- DM would maininin his frieodship with the Sri tish Government; otherwise, that his Highness was actually mounted, and would repair to some dia. tance from Poona. to which place he would Dever Worn until his terms were complied with. I re plied, that I believed Gemmel Smith was still at Tooltumba; that Use battalion was certainly corn log in ; and that the great assembly of troops by his tlightiees, .tad the positions they occupied, were sufficient reasons for my wishing to strengthen the brigade ; but that I could assure his Highness that it was brought oo with no design of attacking him, and he must do Me the justice to own that none of the former proceedin gs i against hi. High mem, of which he had comp were under taken without full notice to his Highoens ; that it was oat of my power to withdraw the troops; sad that his Highness was not entitled by any engage ment to demand it; that, oo the contrary. he had promised to send his troops to the frontier, and that he ought to fulfil his promise, which would remove every ground of disagreement. Wittojee Naiek then began to talk in a style of complaint and menace, adverted to the former dispute., in which he said the Peishwah had given way merely from friendship fbr the Companyi and asked use if I imagined that his Highness was not a match for us on the day when Poona was surrounded? Ile then repeated his message, and desired a cate gorical answer. I replied as before ; and asked him if I was to understand that when his Higbuess quitted Poona I was to consider him at war? Wit- Ittive Naick said he had no message on that head, but that his Highness would square his actions by core. He was afterwards a great deal more di*. fleet, for he repeated his demand. declariog, if did not comply with it. the friendship would not last. and warning me of the bad egrets of a rap. lure. I then renewed my asauraoces of °tar wish fur peace. and said. that if his Highness, moved to hi. rainy. I should withdraw to camp; that if he remained quiet, or receded, we should still consider lino as a friend. and should be tyrantl not to cross the river that separates our Cle6ll from the town; but that if his troops adiranced towards ours/ we should be obliged to attack them. Immediately after Wit tojee Naiek quitted me the Peishwah left the town, and withdrew to Parblitty. and within less thee au hour large bodies or troops began to move in the direction of our camp, and in such a manner as to cut off the Residency. 011 the reteipt of Wittoje e Naick'ir message, I had withdrawn a company that had been left in the old contontbstits ; and as soon rei it reached the Residency, the detatliment there marched off camp. keeping a river betvreeu them - . mud the Peishwah's troops, — who wet, nibving in the some direction. The Residency was mune. distrly plundered and burned. As the Peislissals's troops advanced. Lieutenant•Colimel Burr fell in, astitt very judiciously moved out to meet themok. He vas joined by the battalion formerly in the siv‘ali's *entice. from Dispute. As he advanced, a cannonade was openid from the Peishwah's guns, which did little execution, and soon after the line was surrounded by wept bodies iff cavalry coming so at speed. The Ist, 7th na tive infantry, which was drawn elf from the left of the line, by the eagerness of the noes► to attack a battalion of Gala's, was charted while separated, but completely beat off the attack, and the de notogentent was promptly repaired by Colonel Burr, who immediately joined the 'corps, and by his cool ness and promptitude speedily extricated it fiom its perilous situation. The horse motioned to 'hover round In dirge Millen until the end of the affair, hut were deterred, by Colonel Burr's skit- Int amingementi, from any more attempts to Atirge. After firing some rolando from the field-pieces, the line moved forwa►d. 'the Peishwale,s guns were drawn off, and soon after the whole field was Cleared of his troops. on which Colonel Burr mho tamed to his camp, it being now dark. The lass of our brigade in this affair amounts to about ninety men. That of the Peishwah's troops. is laid to be stout 500. tam sorry to leant that Moro Dickshut is among the idled. The Peishwah is now on the hill of Parbutty, immediately to the ninth of Poona, and his troops are do the side of the town opposite to this place, much dishearten ed. There are so many objections to attacking the town, and so little could now be done by pursuing the Peishwah's troops, Without attacking it, that Lieutenant-Colimel Osborne, who Orlive4 yester day evening and took the command orthe brigade, has determined to remain in his present position un til the arri►al of Genend Smith, who may be ex pected in • week or ten dap. Unfortunate as a quarrel with the Peishwali may be at this moment, I have no doubt rah 'Lordship will think it was inevitable. It was evidently meditated at the time of the Peislinali's promises of cordial aid, and had lately hems advanced too far to leave his Highness any hope of averting it by professions or explana tions. It is, therefore, a happy circumstance that his Highness should have thrown off the mask be fore he had made env progress in his intrigues With our native army.. Nothing could exceed the zeal of the sepoys in the affair of yesterday. I shall have the honour of transmitting Lieutenant-Colonel Burr's report as soon as I receive it. I beg leave to point out to your Excellency the great zeal and exertions of that officer, in removing the ammini tion, stores, and provisions, to the new ground, and in all the preparations requisite for opposing the Peishwah's army. Your Excellency will judge from his own report, of leis conduct in the action that followed, and will, I have no doubt. be of opi nion, that it was owing to his great coolness and judgment that he was enabled to give so serious • ciieck to the Peishwah, anal so great a change to public opinion in this part of India, with so little loss to our own troop.. i hove, &c. M. El. PRI NIICON B. Resident at Poooa. lii, Excellency Ilse Illartinis of Hastings, &e. COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday • Court of 'Common Council was hefd at Guildhall, for the purpose of considering the propriety of presenting Addresses of Congra tulation to the Queen, his Royal Highne►s the Prince Regent, and other brasiches of the Royal Family, on the recent Marriages of their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence and Kent. Befo►e the regular business of the day corn. aniseed, Mr. Saistsfit, Dixon alluded to the otitis aim of one part of the business transacted at the last Court, in the account which had been publish ed of their proceedings.—Mr. Dixon alluded to this omission in so low a tone of voice, and the noise was at the moment so great below the bar, that we were unable to collect with accuracy the na ture of the omission complained of. ASSIZE OF DREAD. Mr. Alderman %rood called the attention of the Court to the question of the Assize of Bread. He bad promised to bring this Stlbject before the last Parliansent—but he was, after repeated conversa tion, with Mr. Franklaud Lewis, dissuaded from submitting the subject to the Legislature in the course of last year. A Committee had been ap. pointed to inquire into the mutter, and their report entitsined much useful information. The plain question was, *holier the alteration made in the mode of affixing the assize had been woeful to the trade and the public, or whether the latter had suffered by the change ? His present object. in touching on the subject, wa, that • Committee should be again formed, to consider the matter, add report bow far the alteration affected the public.— It was highly necessary that such a Committee should investigate the subject fully before the meeting of the beet Parliament, fur the pnrpose of having the whole matter brought in the fullest manner before the Legislature, where it would re ceive the most extended and most effective consi deration. He merely threw out these hints preps:. ratory to the formation of such a Committee as that to which he bad alluded. The Loin MAYOR said, that he had often talk ed of the matter in the Court of Aldermen; but it was there said, that, as no formal complaint had been made, it would he irregular to adopt any new regulation. Whets such a Complaint! were made, then the Court would be ready to enter into a full inquiry. Mr. SAMOT.L Dixon said, that the *ctestioti was one Of tlw greatest tniportante to the community at large, and entitled to the most serious considers tion.-14 Hear, hear./—The alteration that hail beets matte was merely esperimental—l /Icor ) cod its result ought certainly to be inquired into. .ibbithtES TO THE . ROVAL PAMILY. The U:1111) MAYOR Mike, mid stated that he had convened the present Court, principally to inquire into the propriety of adopting and pretenting Ad &elites io the Chief Members of the Royal Fa roily, on the recent marriages or their Royal High nesses the Dukes .t Claresste and Kent. The recitsuistioli presented to his Lordship, in purWatice of which the Court was convened, was diet, read in the usual form. Mr. Alderman IlairbaTr. the. rose to move the Addresses. Ile said that at first he f-It great hesi tation at taking upon himself the duty he was now about to perform ; not that lie thought the occasion did lint call for these congratulat or that the Royal Personages concerned did not eminently de serve them, but that he feh his own general Un fitness to pax compliment. on almost any occasion. When, however. he reflected diet the Addressee were foe a .art of that illustrious Family which had for Imre than a century filled the Throne of this courery, nd never ceased in a sficceeision of years to OfAIIII ind maintais the principles of li berty and religious toleration, for the maintenance of which they had been called to the Throne of these Realms—when he reflected upon this, he could no longer hesitate to himself of the honour of proposing the present Addresses. On public grounds it had been often truly stated, that the best way for a Monarch to aecurellis influence river the heaths of hisiseople was by considering the itseasures most likely to promote their happiness; this was a true and good maxim—so, oil the other hand, the people ought not to omit any proper oc casion of acknowledging the feelings and exertions of their Princes when directed to the public good. The lamented death of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte left the succession to the Crown in a state of painful uncertainty, and it become a matter of public necessity, to provide for the - , so as to ex clude the - • !._ fi possibility of its devolving upon a fo reigner 'on any ,future occasion. Tins led to the late marriages, to the result of which every Eng- Winton of loyalty and good feeling looked for ward with the most confident . hope. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence and Kent were well known to the country fur their public services— fur their private services to the community no ex planation was necessary. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent in particular, had on all occasions sheens his eager desire to promote the best interests of charity and benevolence, his lime, his pone, his personal convenience were at all times sacrificed for the public good, and not only here, but on the Continent of Europe, there load never lived s man more universally respected.— (Haar, hear./—His Royal Highness the Duke or Clarence was by the recurrence of frequent indisposition prevented from being so mui7li before the public, but his liberal principles and sentiments were well known. The Illustrious Ladies to whom there august Personages were united, were of course as yet little known to the people of this country. Rumour, justly he believed, spoke of them in the highest and most amiable terms for the practice of every domestic virtue. One of them (the Duchess of Kent), was peculiarly endeared to the people of this country, as the sister of that Prince (Leopold) who had by his coliduct in this country, during the lifetime of his beloved end busented Princess, hut above all by the fortitude and equanimity which he reserved under the most trying of all human affliciions, shewn himself to he au hotrour to mankind and an (ornament to his country.—( Hear, hear, heur.)-- The Worthy Alileiman concluded by moving a dutiful and loyal Address to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. congratulating him on the Marriages of their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence and Kent, with the Princess of Saxe-Mei ningeis sod the Princess of Linsugeu. Mr. Jacas seconded the motion. Mr. FASELL rose nea►ly at the same time to per forin this office. and rand, that be was never in the habit of flattering Kings and Princes, yet he was 'always ready to pay them their just tribute, when they deserved well of their people. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent had uniformly shewn himself to be the steady friend of the best interest* of the people. In all public charities he was the foremost Man, and many of them would have fallen were it not for his fostering aid and cordial vier: tions.-4 Hear, haw. )-1V Iworver the Princes of the House of Brunswick acted upon sod appreci ated the principles of the Revolution of 1688, which placed their august family on the Throne, they were well entitled to the gratitude of the people. The Address to the Print* Regent was unani mously agreed to. Similar ones to the Queen and Duke and Du chess of Clarence were then adopted. On the propo►ition for the Address to the Doke and Duchess of Kent— Mr. JACKS rose to second the motion. He had often heard that the education of Princes tended to corrupt the heart, but the conduct of the illustrious Princes of the House of Brunswick was i complete refutation of such a doctrine. He had had repeated occasions of knowing here the humanity and active charity of the Duke of Kent, and he had also heard from foreigners of the acts of his Royal Highness in the city (we presume Brussels) to which he had for known reasons for a time retired. He had there maintained his dignity with economy, but with nothing lake parsimony, for his advice, bis services, and his purse were still open to the unfor• tuirate.—( Hear.)—He could not allow this oppori. tunity to pass without paying this tribute to the virtues of so illustrious a character.—( Hear.) The Addresses—(fas which we acitertisewelit)— were then unanimously carried, and Committers appointed to make the iitcessary arrangement* fur presenting them. A Petition from several poor fishermen, who bad been prusecosted by the proprietors of sundry oyster beds, was read, and referred to the Navigation Committee. Reports fur granting I lid otherwise film the City Lauds Committee, were read and agreed to. The Committee for Improvements delivered in a Report, with the outstanding claims, fur completing the New Prise* fur Debtors in Whitecroas street, amounting to upward', of 30,0001.; which was lend, and referred to the Gaul Expenses Cummittice f and fur them to cousider the best mode of pro viding for the same. _ _ Th; Navigation Committee delivered in a Report on hav ing directed mindry necessary repairs to tbs moorings in Galleons, whicb was read and approved. Vißreo coal market bonds were ordered to be paid off and rln.charged, mid the ithaniberlaio directed to take the IlterNlU I 1p slips accordingly. 'The Committee too the Petition of the inhabitants of the public %fleets of the City, complaining of the prostitutes firiipienting the same, presented a Krim, t i , which was order ed to be 'refuted prior to being taken into commie/mina.

His Majesty succeitively trans acted business with Count Pratlel. Director of his Household, and the Count Decakea, Minister of General Police. At four o'clock his Majesty, ac companied by the Duke de etrammont, Captain of his Body trairdr, took tin tan% in an open cha riot, towards the mountain of Bustard. The Princes are expected to quit Par:s this itiorning for ltambouillet. The Duchess of Devonshire arrived yesterday in this capital. to the details which we (the Gazette de France) have published relative to the proceedings instituted against the Sieetr Romilly and his ailiociates, it is added, that on the tit of the mouth General Cannel quitted his residence e few moments after the arrest of the Sieur Songy, who is said to have been his secretary, and that he has not appeared since. Sum moned a few days after by the Judge of Instruction, he did not obey the mandate, and his papers were immediately seited by the officers of justice. Yesterday the Police aerated a great iitiml*r of hawkers, who sold and cried about the Streets 'of Paris a printed paper reapecting this affair, in which some details are conformable to thbse we have published, but which contains others altogether different, false in themselves, and calculated to abuse the public credulity. A private letter reteived at Marseilles front Al. piers, states, that the territories of Algiers continue to be infested by the plague, and that the town is in particular a prey to a great mortality. There die from 60 to 70 persons daily, and it is fared that this destruction will not cease until the month of August, the time when the great heats correet this dreadful evil. The Dey of Tunis has, by his wisdom and We sight, hitherto preserved his States from thii ca lamity. Some ships from Algiers were infected with the contagious distemper, and it was with some reason apprehended that it would spread itself in the country ; however the rigorous and well-en. forced orders of the Dey dissipated every donee. and the country continues to enjoy a perfect health. It is assuredly a great triumph for humanity to observe wisdom exteuding itself in countries whence it wu generally thought to be excluded. Every thing that tends to the preservation of health has long been adopted and followed at Tunis, and even Wore a code of sanitary law, drawn up by a young but experienced traveller, was know there, a lazaretto was established, and some precautions were taken, so simple and universally known, as to secure the place from the contagions malady. The Uuder-Secretary of State for the department of the interior, being apprised that the Smut Gout ven-Bahan, of the Commune of Ploneaur-Trez, had perished on the I lull of March, in carrying ■►sistauce to the English ship the Eliza, which was in danger of foundering, and that he had left an aged mother whose sole support he was, sent the old woman the sum of 300 francs. THE BRITI S PRES S. LON DON, WEDNESDAY. JULY 2e. ISIS. Wh ailuded in our last number to the improve ment in our Revenue, in consequence of the in creased activity in every branch of our commercial system. We tire now happily returning to that state of comparative prop interrupted by the exhaustion turn, and by the consequent the cessation of our war forgotten that during that felt and so universally I journeymen manufacturers struggle, to the diminution degree almost inconsistent porting existence. We ever, during Hirt period any cuinploints uttered lecturers for yielding to circumstances, and for .:ucing verge of starvation labourers and their families..— Now mark the rid4rente. Commerce has revived, trade has become regenerate, the profits of stock have increased, wager have remained stationary. The workmen who, during the depression rof the times, consented to the diminution of their wages, now require that the price of their labour shall be rendered proportionate to the rise in the profits of stock) and this is authoritatively called illegal and unjust, and punishment is unfeelingly demanded against the refractory conspirators. There is no branch of our laws more hostile to the spirit of jus tice than that which arbitrarily imposes a price upon the value of labour, nor more subversive of the first principle of political economy. Labour is a marketable commodity, to be disposed of in the same Manner as any article that ran be made the object of the senses, and according to the same principles will its value be regulated. It is absurd to talk of combina►ions among the labouring classes against their masters. Generally speaking such com binations must defeat themselves ; for how could the greater part of the mess employed in any establish ment exist without employment for such time as would suffice for the Huai iiiii rid of their object ' If one set of workmen struck fur wages, how easy would it be to procure another sufficient for carry ing on the work ? But why, in debarring the *so k men from endeavouring to obtain a fair reward s,l their labours', are the master manufacturers per mitted to conspire as they please against the la bourers ? If combinations to raise wages be unfair in one, combinations to lower wages cannot be fair in the other; and yet of the tso we believe the latter is at least as usual as the former. In contests between the men sod their masters, every thing is on the side of the latter. They can much more safely " hold out" than their untagoisists—they have no starving families at home, to drive theist with their cries from a resolution adopted abroad— nor is the interruption of a week or fortnight iu their gains felt as an immediate calamity. We have been induced to utter these few observe.. lions, from perceiving that the labourers at Man cheeter and Stockport have refused to work for the prevent rate of wages, hoping by their perseverance to cutup,' their usual employees to pay them more liberally in future. The idleness of wi great a num ber of persons is much to be lamented, not only from the miseries it must cause them at the present moment, but from the thousand evils that must re sult to society from the habits these persons are, in dieir idleness, Coo likely to engender. This is till. doubtedly a consideration of very serious import ance; but it is still of much greater importance that labour should be free, and that every man not bound by his own set, or that of his legal guar dians, should be enabled to sell his work to the best advantage. On alio' principle the House of Lords acted during the lait Session of Parlia. menr ► when the case of the labouring children in the cotton manufactories was submitted for their opinion. In this case, it will be remem bered that on the part of the children was urged the necessity of saving their infancy from the gripe of avarice, and protecting their weakness front the arm of power ; that they were not free labour er!, Old were compelled, without any regard to their own feelings or wishes, to labour for a time inconsistent with even the matured strength of man hood. We shall venerate Lords LIVERPOOL and FLIRROWIIV API the part they took in this discus:. sion. The master-manufacturers, however, pre. veiled, and triumphed upon the point that no in terference was admissible between the employers and their labourers , . If ever there was a case its which Parliament wasjustitied in interfering, it was for the defence of these children, employed for fifteen hours a day in the cotton manufactories.. It was the strongest point that could be brought for ward by the labourers; and if they were not worthy, in that instance, of legislative protection, we can see no pretence for extending the favour to the masters, under circumstances of a far less s;gra. !Wed nature. We have received Paris Papers of Satite.l4 last. The alleged conspiracy is again alluded to by the Gazelle de France, but nothing further it communicated respecting the plans or means of the conspirators. The Sieur SONGY, one of those ar re►tea, is said to hase been General CANOVA pri• vale secretary. The General himself still contrives to elude the pursuit of the police. The permission granted to the public newspapers to notice this affair has, it seems, encouraged the hawkers of Paris to distribute in the streets printed papers, a l. reefing to give " a full, true, and particular at: count" of the conspiracy, which, as is usual in such cases,contained as many falsehoods as the ingenuity of the writers could conveniently heap to,:ether.
