This vessel had sailed from the Helder, in company with two others, for RIO Janeiro, and had on hoard 119 colonists, who were to form the settlement, in the Brazils, of New Fribourg. The ship struck on a bank, and would probably have perished, with all an board, were it not. for the prompt assistance they derived from the, people of Itamsgale. me gratitude of M.

Tne foreign exchanges and the prices of bullion begin to attract much attention, on accniint of the ocir approsv is of the time when the Bunk must re sume bullion payments in bars of gold, at the rule of V. Is. per oz. standard fineness. For several months Portugal gold in coin, and standard gold. have remaintd at the Mint price of 31. 17s. 10311. Yesterday a considerable advance took place in bother).

There has been • general fall in the foreign exchanges, and little probability of their becoming more favourable. These circumstances, it is reported, have acre. stoned a great sensation amongst the Bank Di rectors. Letters have been received from Mogedore, dated the 28th of September, which mention, that the pl a gue which had been for some time in the vici nity, had at length broken out in that town. We ere happy to odd, however, that the deaths at that period were only three or four each day, and that it was then confined to the Moors, none of the Chris tians or Jews having f.illen victims to the pesti lence. The weather being extremely cold, greet hopes were entertained that the further progress of the disease would speedily be put a atop to, when trade, which was then at a stand, would renew its wonted activity. The whole population of Nloge dore is between 10 and 12,000 persons, by far the greeter part of whom consider it contrary to their religious tenets to use any precaution to prevent their taking the infection, and in the event of their having it, would not for the some reason have re course to any means to counteract it. CALCLTTA, MAY 12..—Although the tranquil lity of Ceylon still continues undisturbed by ally open acts of rebellion, the accounts from that quarter are of such a nature as can scarcely autho rise an entire confidence in the present state of the country. A n inclination appears to have been ma nifested by the noodhist priests to afford shelter to the late Pretender, who is represented as a wan derer, at the date of the last accounts, in Wellesse and Lower ()urea. The conduct of some other in dividuals had likewise aplivared suspicious it, the eyes of the Government, which had succeeded in securing the ‘tersons of some, and taken measures for the apprehension of others. Among the former were the Waonia, or Mudianse, of Numere, another rebel of the name of KATLIAEL, and some others of interior note. In a late excursion to Kurrukpoor hills, in the neighbourhood of Mongeer, Colonel FRANKLIN. who has already thrown considerable light on Oriental antiquities, by his indefatigable labours in tracing the situation of the imeient city of Pshbothra, is said to have discovered a Colossal Jeyn statue in the immediate neighbourhood of the modem city Jeynnagbur, situated at the distance of about nine miles to the south-west of Souvujgurgb, a place well known to those who have frequented that part of the Ganges flowing between the towns of Bat and Mongeer. The remains of this vener able city, we believe, were first noticed by an officer belongiug to the Invalid Establishment of Mongeer.

The Dutch Authorities in " 5 ";'• in con , eluence of advice@ from Europe, had 4ktelmintd to exclude all foreigners from the va rious ports of the island, excepting Batavia, and their hostility seemed particularly directed against the English. Whether it were inientled as a matter of favour to certain individualsi or with a view to soften, in some degree, the severity of this inter diction, the accounts do not state. but it is a fact, that the Government of *lava Iced granted special licenses, allowing entail) vessels to load at Sours bars. or Samatang. It is also mentioned, that the Dutch traders are exceeding jealous of the ad vantages derived by the English from their settle ment at Singapore.

He was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause in his principal scenes. That in which he seeks to " catch the conscience of the King," by the performance of a play, founded on circumstances similar to those that had befallen his murdered father, he was uncommonly successful. The closet-scene with his mother, particularly the latter part of it, where he beholds the spirit of his father, was also excellently acted. The whole was an effort of first-rate merit—and was received with the approbation which it so well deserved. Miss M. TREE appeared, for the first time, in the character of Opheha. We cannot say any thing in praise of her recitation of the blank verse, which she uttered with a rapidity—with a total want of due emphasis—which completely destroyed its her. many. Her singing was beautiful. She executed the wild airs of Ophelia with melody, expression, and feeling. The parts of Laertes ■nd Horatio were performed, very sensibly, by Messrs. ABBOTT and CON NOR.

THE PERSIAN AMBASSADOR. EDINBURGH, NOVEMBER 1. On Saturday his Excellency Mirze Ahul Hassan khan, the Persian Ambassador Extraordinary to Great Britain, and one of his suite, left the Royal Hotel a little before three o'clock, accompanied by the Lord Provost and Bailie Manners, and visited the Parliament House. After walking through the different Courts he went into the Hall of the Writers to the Signet, with which he seemed much pleased. Between three and four o'clock he pro ceeded, in his own carriage, to the Palace of Holyrood-house, and passed through ull the public ■partmetits, after which he returned to the Royal Hotel. Yesterday. about one o'clock, his Excellency visited the Castle. He went into the Crown-room and saw the regalia of Scotland, and afterwards inspected the different parts of the garrison. His Excellency appeared highly plessed with the dress and appearance of a small !Indy of Highlanders now in the Castle. The Lord Provost, several of the Ma gistrates, Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C.B. with his. Staff, accompanied his Excellency. The day was rather thick, which greatly obscured the fine view to he seen from that elevated spot. From the Castle his Excellency went to Leith, and viewed the new docks, pier, &c. and before returning to the Royal Hotel, his carriage drove through all the principal streets of the New Town. This day his Excellency will visit the General Register House, the University, Htriot's Hospital, &c.; and, we understand, he will dine with the Lord Provost to-morrow, after which he will visit the Pantheon. - . His Excellency is a stout man, rather above the middle size, as sallow complexion. piercing black ayes, black hair, and a long black beard. He was dressed in his national costume, in rich crimson satin, and a hoe large sash of the same colour, with • highly-finished dirk. with a large diamond in the centre of the hilt. His coach is very neat, painted • blight yellow, and the door-panels are adorned with the insignia of the Royal Persian Order of the Sun and Lion. encircled with a large star.

IVOLFE AND It would appear to he rather a matter of consi deration and surprise with several. that the illus trious 11'olfe. who fell so gloriously in the arm* of victors. on the plains within view of the ramparts of Quebec, in 1759. was brought home to England for interment, while the remains of the gracious nod lamented Richmond, who was unhappily taken off hr ti fatal malady, and in a period of tranquillity, repose in the vaults of the St. Louis Castle, the citadel of that fortress. One very material differ ence, however, which exists between the two cases. should be taken into consideration ; namely. that at t h e t i me o f the capture of Quebec, consequent, upon the victories of ‘Volfe, it was very uncertain whether Canada would remain in the possession or Great Britain, as a permanent cession from France; and though there was no danger that any French Military Governor, tinder the legitimate r eginte of a Bourbon, would order the exhumation of the re mains of a fri►ish General (redid the fer'ocinus still sang ' ry Jacobin, V.ctor !fugues, thoie of Ge neral Francis pundits at Gutidaloope), yet it was seemingly felt by the relatives of the youthful Bri tish hero, as a point of doubtful propriety, under such circumstances, to consign his remains to the vaults of a French fortress, and a domestic imer. ment was determined upon. Accordingly, the mortal part of the gallant Officer in question was brought to England, and deposited iu the family vault. in the parish church of Westerham, its heist, • town within twenty irides of the metropolis, where a rather plain monument bears the following neat and appropriate inscripiton JAMES.

The case of the noble and pliant Richmond was, as we have observed. one of a tuatetislly dif ferent nature. His Grace died supreme in the mili tary command, as well as the head of the government, and was the representative of Majesty in an important, though distant member of the British empire, to which it has long been perma nently attached. The case of his Grace forms an exact counterpart of that of the illustrious Corn wallis, who paid the great debt of nature while supreme in the government of British India. Ilia Lordship's honoured remains repose in a splendid mausoleum in the Chapel of Fort William, on the shore of the Ganges. while a splendid cenotaph in the Metropolitan Cathedral of St. Paul further illustrates his revered memory ; and there exists no doubt but that a similar posthumous illustration will he decreed to the cherished memory of the gracious Richmond. • Allusive to the splendid cenotaph erector, by Parliament to the memory of General Wolfe, in the euciosed pad of Westminster Abbey. .47TEMPTIW SUICIDE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. GumaitALL, TRVIIIIDAY, NOVEMBER 4. Before Chief Justiee DALLAS and a Special Jury. LOPEZ V. DE TASTET. The Defendant's case was closed this (the third) day, shout two o'clock, after which Serjeant LENS replied at very great length, and with g►eat abiltt,,. The CHIEF JUSTICE then read over,tlse whole of the ord evnlence on both aides with great minute ness, leaving that contented in the documents, which were remarkably voluminous, to the examination of the Jun• themselves. His Lordship observed that the questions, generally speaking, arising nut of the peseta rare, were questions peculiarly calculated for their consideration. He said, generally speaking, for he did not affect to disguise that a very material point of law was involved in it—namely, whether the first of the contracts on which the declaration was groncded, was or was not illegal, as having been entered into in a time of war, not only to insure the premerty of en enemy, but to expedite it to an snem's coquetry. How far it became Mr. De Tastet to set np such a defence, a defence which left the real merits of the case altogether un touched, it was not for him to judge. Bet he thought it the more convenient course to the decision of this question for the Court a b o v e , and that in considering of their verdict they should put it wholly out of view. For the present, therefore, taking it that there was no illegality iu that transaction, the first question that presented itself for their deliberation was, whether the De fendant, in becoming the egoist of the Plaintiff for certain purposes, in the year 1811, which he with out any doubt bad. had also accepted a retainer to become his agent, for insuring and expediting the brig Mercurio Felix, with her cargo, to St. Petersburgh, with the first of the two convoys which were to sail the following year, and which did sail from the Dowos, in April 1812—should they be of opinion. which opinion was to he collected from the evidence, that the Defendant had become the Plaintiff's agent, for tit! particular purpose he had specified, it would he their duty to give a verdict for the latter; it' which case they would state the amount of damages to which they judged him fairly entitled, on account of the loss notarised, by the cargo not having arrived at the time when the market was favourable. at the low rate of duties, adding thereto 5601. the loss sustained on the resale of the inieutled cargo. which had been pur chased at St. Petersburg'', preparatory to the arrival of the vessel; as also the value of the use of the vessel for one year and eleven months, respecting which they had heard very contradictory evidence; hut at least it appeared to him that not more than two voy ages from St. Prtersburgh to the Brazils and back, could have been made in the time. They would besides include certain other expenses which the Plaintiff had been obliged to incur. The next pad of the transaction to which their attention was 10 be directed, was the subsequent agreement in September, 1812, between Mr. De Tastet and Mr. Lloyd, the authorised agent of Mr. Lopez, with full powers, if they should think that Mr. De Tastet had been hound by that compact, to insure and di-pinch the ship to Russia in the spring of Dili, which it was clear he had not done, she on the contrary having been taken into the London Docks. her cargo taken out and sold, it would be their duty to find for the Plaintiff tinder this head also, specifying here again the esti mated extent of Isis losses, and taking into she cal culation the intermediate fall in the market abroad. His Lordship concluded his charge, of which the above is a mere sketch, by entreatiog the Jury to bestow that serious attention and consideration on the whole of the case and the evidence. which its magnitude and importassce so strongly demanded. Mr. Serjeasit VAUGHAN then stated that lie in tended to deliver in a bill of exceptions it heu the verdict should have been given. The Jury retired and shortly after sent in a note requesting the manifest of the cargo of the brig. Having received this, they continued in delibera tion about an hour, and then returned into Court, when their names having been called over by the officer, they returned a verdict for the Plaintiff— damages on the first case 34.780/. ; ou the second, 2893201. Being then interrogated by his Lordship, whether they had made a saluation of the cargo, amid use of the brig, they returned the value of the former at 11,000/. and of the latter at 4,0001., making up a gross sum of 15,000/, as the da inages on two counts of trover. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN then tendered his bill of exception*, grounded on the following, among oilier causes : that his Lordship, in his charge, had not given his opinion On the validity of the first contract, nor laid it down to be illegal, which io fact it was—and that he had not described the Ukase to have been obtained by false and fraudu lent 10.111111. His Lordship said, with warmth, that the resort ing to such aids as the supposed fraudulency of the Ukase, after so many years spent in the investiga hose of the cause. was sit untighteous, he had almost soul a dishonourable proceeding. He after wards pronounced (as he said he was compelled to do, much wishing that the questiou had been re served for the consideration of the Court above,) that the first contract concluded in time of war was illegal. Defendant's Counsel then observed, that this de cision precluded PI 'lf's Counsel from availing themselves of the verdict on the first case, and de aired to know which of the other verdicts they would have recorded.
