SUPERIOR FOOD FOR CHILDREN, INVALIDS, AND OTHERS. By the Ring's Royal Letters Patent. OF all new Introductions i n D omes ti c Economy, none have ever met with mor e un i versa l appmbation than ROBINSON'S Patent BARLEY and Patent GROATS : they completely supersede the use of the common Pearl Barley or Emb den (boats, a superior beverage being produced in ten minutes, and at one-half the expense. These nutritioue preparations have been submitted to the medi cal profession throughout the United Kingdom, and have met with the most derided approval and recommendation ; in fact, many physicians of the greatest celebrity have declared, that the Patent Preparations of Barley and Groats excel] all other articles in use as a fond for child:" &c. The Patent Barley makes superior barley water In ten minutes, and is infinitely better titan the common bar ley for thickening veal, mutton, and other b rot h s ; it is also in the highest repute for making a most delicious pudding or custard.

THE ENTEREEISE STEAM-WESSEL.—The following letter from a passenger in the Enterprise steam-vessel ex plains the causes of the delay in its arrival at the Cape : Cape of Good Hope. Oct. 13. " After to me a pleasant passage, though so much longer than was expected, we safely disembarked here to-day, having arrived at eleven o'clock. M'e have had in general beautiful weather, but we have not had above six days fair wind the whole time ; this obliged us to steam it so much that our coals run short. I think we had the steam going for forty days, but not consecutively, of eourse. Our general track has been along the mast of Africa, keeping it about 150 miles distant. The only place we touched st was the island of St. Thomas (a Portuguese settlement on the line otT the Guinea coast), to take in water ; stopping there three days, we took a frr,sh departure on the 20th September. AlThen oar coals began to fail us we stretched away to the S.W. under sail, to find a wind. The vessel sails most beautifully, seven knout on a wind. and hardly any lee-way. I ant confident the thing will succeed with some other modified arrangeents. There must be two or three depots for coals between this and England, and as many between this and Madras. Captain Johnstone is an excellent officer, very steady, and remarkably even in temper. Our pas. sengera were all pleasant, and all in great harmony with each other." The oath administered to the Russian soldiery is " to be faithful to the Emperor, and to him whom the Emperor shall appoint to be successor to the throne." ORIGIN OF THE TERM PANIC.—It sometimes happened with the ancient Greeks, well disciplined, and commonly brave as their armies are, that a body of troops, without any attack being made or threatened, would take upon them to disperse and fly for their lives, leaving their camps and baggage, throwing away their arms, running over hill and dale for days and nights together, till their legs and their fright wore out together. As they were philosophers enough to know that there could be no act without a mo tive, they excused themselves an these occasions by saying that the god Pan, a shaggy and venerable person, with goats' feet, had appeared to them, and that it consequently became them, as pious persons, to do their utmost to break their necks in a fright. Hence the phrase Panic terror. Whether the god Pan has appeared in the City of London during the last fortnight we do not know, but it would be extremely difficult for many who were affected by terror to find a better cause ; they must be very much obliged to us for furnishing them with this. COMMERCIAL TREATY' WITH THE HAS' TOWNS. (TranslateErrll the French.) Convention of Commerce and Navigation between Its Majepty the King of Great Britain and the Hanseatic Cities. (The ratifications of this convention Were ea. changed in London, on the Std inst.) His Majesty The King of the Unites] Kingdom of Greet Britain on the one part, and the Senates of the free and Hanseatic cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh,(each of these states treating in particular for itself,) on the other part, equally animated with the desire of procuring all possible facilities and encouragement for those of their subjects and citizens connected with commerce, and per. auaded that nothing can contribute more advantageously to the attainment of this desirable end, than the recipro. cal suppression of all difference in the duties payable by the vessels and cargoes of the contracting states, in each other's ports, have appointed Plenipotentiaries to conclude a convention to that end. [The Treaty goes on to state that the Right Hon. George Canning and the Right Han. William Hue. kisson were appointed Plenipotentiaries on the part of Great Britain, and James Colquhoun, the Agent and Consul-General in England for the Haus Towns, acted as their Plenipotentiary.l These Gentlemen having exchanged their full !mews. &c., agreed upon the following articles :- 1. Reckoning from this day, the vessels of Lubeck, Bremen. and Hamburgh, which shall arrive in the ports of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, or which shall sail from them, es well as the Eng lish vessels arriving in the ports of the free cities of Lubeck. Bre men, Ind Haniburgh, or sailing therefrom, shall not be subjected to any other duty, or any other impost, mote heavy than those which are paid by national vessels arriving tx balling from those 2. All merchandise, whether the produce of the territory of the free cities or that of any other country, which may be imported from one of the ports of the said free States in English vessels into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, may be intro duced in the same manner on board of Lubeck, Bremen, and Ham burg!' vessels, and all merchandise, the produce of the states of his Britannic Majesty or of any Warr country, which may be exported front the ports of the United Kingdom in English vessels, maylbe. in like manner, exported on board of those of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh : in short, all merchandise, which may be imported on ' board of National vessels into tile ports of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh, or which may be exported from them, shall enjoy the same advantage when on board of English vessels. 3. All merchandise which may be imported directly from the ports of Lubeck, Bremen. and Hamburgh, or one of them, into those of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, shall be introduced for the same duties, whether on board of English vessels or those of the said free States ; all merchandise which is permitted to be ea. ported from the United Kingdom shall enjoy the same bounties, drawbacks, and advantages, whether exported in English or Han seatic vessels. The same reciprocities shall teke place in the ports of the said free States for all merchandise which may be imported into or exported from their ports in English vessels. 4. There shall not be granted directly or indirectly, either by one of the contracting parties, or by corporations, societies, or agents, trading in its name or under its authority, any preference to the purchase of the produce, of the manufacture, or otherwise, of their respective states which are introduced into ti a other through the nationality of the vessels in which the importation takes place, the intention of the high contracting parties being tbat there should be absolutely no difference in this respect. 6. Considering the small extent of the territories of the Repub lics of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh, and the narrow relations of commerce and navigation which exist among them, it is pro vided by the present convention, that every vessel which has been built in one of the ports of these states, or which is the exclusive property of one or more of their burgesses, and has tor master a burgess of one or tile other ; in short, whose crew is composed of three.fourths of subjects or burgesses of the said republics, of of states forming a part of this Germanic confederation, according to the table and the description contained in articles S 3 and 66 of the general act of the Congress of Vienna, in 1816 ; that every vessel so built, manned, commanded, and being the property above described, shall be considered in what concerns all the objects of the present convention, as a vessel belonging to Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh. 6. Every vessel, with her cargo, belonging to one of the throe Hanseatic Republics, and which shall arrive from one of their ports in the United Kingdom, shall be considered, wish relatioo ro all the objects of this convention, as coming from the country to which she belongs ; and every vessel trading directly, or in sue.- cession with the ports of Lubeck. Bremen. and Hamburg's, shalt be, as well es her cargo, treated, for the objects above-mentioned. upon the same footing as a Hanseatic vessel making the same voyage. 7. It is besides agreed between the two parties that in each of their States there shall not be raised upon any individual property of their subjects and burgesses, when it shall be transported out of the territory or possessions of these States, either in the way of rue chase or otherwise, any other duties or taxes heavier than those so which, in each of those States, the same articles of property are liable when transported by their own subjects or burgesses. 13. The high contracting powers reazrve to themselves the right, in order to facilitate and extend the commercial relations of their subjects and possessions, burgesses and territories, beyond what is stipulated by this convention, of affixing additional articles, founded uprei reciprocal or equivalent advantages, as the nature of the case may be: should the high contracting powers agree on one or more articles to annul these dispositions, it is provided that the article or articles which may thus be concluded in future shall be considered as forming part of the present convention. 3. The present convention is concluded for the space of ten years.' reckoning from this day and for a space of twelve months more. after the King of Great Britain and Ireland on the one part, or the governments of Lubeck, Bremen. and Hamburgh, or one of them. on the other, shall have notified their intention of putting an end. to it. Each of the high contracting parties reserves to himself the right of making to the other that notification at the end of the said term of ten years. It is agreed between them, that this convention and all its stipulations, in case one of the parties shall make to theother a declaration of this kind, shall cease entirely as regards the State which shall have made, and that which shall have re-, ceived this declaration ; it is nevertheless understood and agreed, that if one or more of the said republics shall make or receive the above declaration, this convention shall not remain the less its force and vigour against the other Hanseatic republics which shall have neither made or received such a declarai tn.

This al o n e , it may be assumed, is sufficient to secure a continuance of the very . extensive circulation which the Work is known so long-to have enjoyed ; but, in addition to this claim, the •New Monthly Magazine will commence the New Year with an accession to its force of new contributors, of first-rate genius and information, some of whom have, in other Publications, been often greeted with the undivided applause of the Town, but who I now intend to devote themselves exclusively to this Periodical. The contents of the volumes for the present year, whether in litides of permanent and historical value, or in the lighter effu delis of imagination and wit, have been considered as among the MOS- original and valuable that ever came within the pages of any 'OW teal Publication ; is addition to which the New Monthly Nagsaine -includes the advantages of a Review and an Annual Register, by its account of all interesting New Publications, Foreign as well as English—Biographical Notices of Distingoished Cho racters—Essays on the Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama—Lite rary and Scientific Varieties, New Inventions, Discoveries, and Improvements—Rural Economy—Meteorological, Agricultural, and Commercial Reports, Political Events, and Important Oc currences, throughout Great Britain, arranged under the several Counties, all of which will be found of high value for present or future reference. The First Number for 1826 will be published on the Ist of January, and those who desire to avail themselves of that favour. able opportunity for commencing are requested to send their orders to any Bookseller or News.vender in their neighbourhood, by whom it will be regularly supplied. It may also be exported to friends abroad, by application to the General Post-office, or to any Local. POIIt.II23MCF.
