THE DIPLOMATIC TURTLE. The delay which took place in Mr. Bssit.teo's de parture for Paris, it it said, damped very much the spirits of his travelling companion, the Diplomatic Tattle. If, as a grave London Alderman would s ay, " I am ready to eat you, I am ready to devour you with joy," what must not the diplo matic Turtle have expelled from the gay and hungry beaus of Paris, who never heard the green fat of a Turtle mentioned, without changing to all the colour, of the rain-bow ? The travellers, however, had not teached Sittingheume, when Mr. Basit.oco be gan to seeped the fidelity and soundness of his companion. When he provided himself, in Lon don city, with this supplemental negotiator, in aid of Lord Lavarana t. a, he felt chat he was compe. tent to negotiate upon the basis of the statue ante, or the its poositietie s but as to the status ante. by the time they should reach Paris, Mr. SASILICO'S °lora/tory nerves infetased him, M. TALLEYILAND would turn up his nose at it ; and as to the ea powder/a, no Pal lamina, or other fishmonger in that city, would give sixpence for the purchase. Fearing, therefore, that his companion, instead of being palatable. might prove erosive to Lord LAUDEILDALeII antagonists ; and, instead of suiting their taste, might turn their stomach, • Mr. Bass ico de nternsi ed. at Sittiogbourne, to send his companion t " that bourne from whence no traveller returns." It is feared, however, that as the Diplomatic Turtle has been rejaed by Mr. SAsii.ICO, as ninety, stale, and unprofitable, that Lord Lau 'wows will be content with the new order of pings, and not in.iat that France shall erge all the film meals which she has devoured in 'kr revolutionary stone, an effect, which the curds might, with the assistmee of the prtsent sultry sea r, be very competent to prodnee. manismoarzie BATH, SEPT. 10. . last eight.

DANIELS. _ Fnd!! at ten o'clock yesterday morning, the LORD M• von. according to appointment, took his seat in the Office, for the put pose of entering into the examination of Mr. Daniels. The Court was crowded to an excess, and all were anxious to hear the investigation of this most singular business. The City Marshal, who had been previously dispatched to bring up the Prisoner, at length arrived, and informed his-Lordship private. ly, that Mr. Daniels was so much indisposed he could not attend, and then delivered in the certifi. cate of Mr. Hodgson, the Physician of Newgate, to that effeel. Some private conversation here took place between the LORD MAY OR, Mr. Marryat, who attended as Counsel for the Prisoner, and some of the Gentlemen on the part of the prosecution, and it was finally settled that the examination should be postponed until Saturday morning next, at ten o'clock. The Court was then cleared ; but in a very short time was again crowded, and con tinued so the entire day, by Gentlemen who were not aware that the examination had been post poned. Mr. Daniels's indisposition, we bear, is fever, occasioned by the excessive fatigue he has lately undergone, and also by uneasiness of mind.— At times he is delirious We understand his friends, whom ha wished very much to see, have positively refused to go to him. Mr. Gurney is also retained on the part of the Prisoner. A poor woman was, yesterday, brought before the LORD MAYOR, by one of the officers of t night ; who stated, that he found her the night be fore. endeavouring to climb over the battlements of Bleckfriars-bri.:ge, for the purpose of throwing her self into the Thames. She seemed in very great distress, and he thought it his duty to prevent her ,committing any rash ail, by taking her to the Compter. Ihe poor woman was particularly interrogated tby the Loan Mairos ; but she merely stated, that she tam. from Maidstone, and was in ver y great distress. The LORD MAYOR ordered her some assistance, and desired that she should be passed to her parish. The American seaman, whose case we have be fore mentioned, again applied to the Loire M vott, to know how he should proceed against Eaton's, the man who had detained his trunk. The Lo o Mellott desired, that Edwards shoeld lee called to answer to the complaint ; but he did not appear. His Lordship then said, that he did expeft to have done justice to the complainant, in a sum mary way ; but as he was prevented, by the non appearance of Edwards, he would order, that a prosecution should he commenced against him, at the expence of the City. The 'deposition 'of the sailor who paid the car riage of the tru :k to London, was then taken. He stated, that he came in the boat with the trunk. from the Bombay Castle East TOdialliall. at OtalVeS• end, and had them deposited at the Green Man in DarkhOuseelane, first having paid the carriage. He then went to look for a lodging, and on coming back in the course of an hcur or two, he was told the trunks bad been taken aivey by Mr. Edwards, who said he had direElions front the owners. The woman, who keeps the public-house, then stated, that shortly after the former 'witness left her house, Mr. Edwards came there siith tires porters, and going into the parlour where the trunks ley, he pointed them out to the porters, and seta, "T..ke them away." She asked him, " Had he orders ?" Ire said, .6 Yes, I know the men ;" and she there fore permitted him to take them away, after he had paid her tw pence for warehouse room. The American then deposed, that he never knew Edwards, and never had given him orders to take away his trunk. 'Fire parties were then bound over to appears, and give evetence, and instruitrons were issued for the prosecution. f b H AYT' , N-0 A ROM Yesterday, Malan. Let, a yetieg sailor, about twenty years a age, VIAL brotigh: bec.ae the M At:lS seat es at this Office, charged with pi ivetely stealing from the person of his messrnate, lames Kirk, the sum of 41. in Bank Notes. It appeared, that the Prosecutor and the Prisoner had been messmates for fourteen months on board the Admiral Gardner Indiaman, during a voyage to and from China, to London, all of which time a close intimacy subsisted, and many reciprocal ails of hiendship and kindness passed between them ; and when the purse or grog of the one became slack, the other was at all times reedy with a treth store. On Monday last, these parties being together. as usual, in the City, the Prosecutor, who was an out door Chelsea Pensioner, asked his comrade to go with him to his agents, M . Cox at Green wood, Charing cross, to receive his pension. The latter consented to accompany him, and, in their way thither, they stopped at two or three public houses, where they had beer and grog, which the Pruccuter paid for. Having received his 41. pen sion, the Prosecutor put it into the right-hand pocket of his waistcoat, having half-a-guinea and some small change in his left. They teen proceeded to tear-street, Fuller's-rents, where they met an old messmate, and all three went into a put:le-house. where they had more refreshment ; and lastly, the Prosecutor and Prisoner stewed at the Coach and Horses, public-house, Holeorn, where they again drank near three pints of gin ; the Prosecutor found himself a little overcome, but they sat there for same time together. The Prosecutor (sailor-like) then propos:id a side in a coach to the city ; the coach was brought, and in he got. leavi...; the Pri soner behind. On driving down Holborn-hill, he missed his money, and immediately turned back to the Coach and Horses, end demanded it of the Pri soner, who then denied any knowledge of it. Very fortunately, however, Trntt, the Oticer, with one of his companions. were in the neighbourhood.— When they first attempted to take the Prisoner into custode. tie seemed inclined to resist, arid persisted in decaying any knowledge ad the matter ; but when the handcuffs were put on, andim use be was com pletely secured, he admitted he had got some money belengi tg to the Prosecutor. I: Junius. ap- peered, 4/111412 kad aimless one _ the landlady of the Coach and Horses. When the Prisoner was called on for his defence, he said, that the Prosecutor gave him the money as a voluntary gift, in token of friend:hip ; that he aßnally forced it nn him, and in his great huma nity, he endeavoured to force the Prinecutor to take a guinea of it hack, but he retitsea. it anus merely a transadion of friendship bets-i . e.:l them, and he did not think am harm in it. He was vet y willing to ga to sea again, if their Worships would permit him. These assertions being denied by the Prosecutor, he was fully committed to Newgste for trial, at the ensuing 01 , 1 Bailey Sessions. 70 THE EDITOR. Si a—Through the medium of your Taper, I beg leave, with all due reined, to ask the Magistrates, particularly those Gentlemen who preside at Row , street, a otsv serious tpitslion. Is there not an An which empowers them to commit to prison, or send to sea, known and reputed thieves, tee. ? If lam right inqnpposing that the Legislature has vested such important authority in their hands for the public security, Why are we disgusted with daily reading that notorious. pickpockets. dignified by the name of Captains of Gangs, parade the streets, in defiance of the Police? A QCZILIVr. Middle Vassals. 4f al, 9- . - --- GALLANT EXPLOIT. By an extra& of a letter from an Officer in the Jaisa frigate, commanded by Capt Cochrane, son of Sir Alexander Cochrane, we are informed, that the boats of that ship, and of 0 , - 3laria schooner, under the command of Lieut. C. Kerr, of the Jason, were sent on the Ist of July to silence a small fort on the Porto Itiko, which had annoyed the Maria very much the day before. On landing elm: un der the fort, the boats grotanded at suck a distance, that the men were up to their middle in the wa ter. by winch all their ammunition was spoiled, and they consequently could not fire a single musket against the 'enemy. The Spaniards kept up a ' smart and well directed fire, which killed and wounded a number of our people, and among others, the second in command, master of the Maria, was struck at once by four bullets, and almost instantly expired. In this situation, Gent. Kerr, considering that hesitation or retreat were equally certain de strudion to the whole party, instantly stormed the fort, and carried it without farther resistance ; the Spaniards all running off the moment our brave tars began to art ranee. In the fort, instead of a single cannon, which they only supposed it to possess, were found Eve; an iron 24 pounder, three brass twelves, and an iron 8 pounder. 'I he first four were immedi ately spiked, and the last turned against the Spani ards, sett() still lurked in the bushes near the fort. When just about to leave the !Mt, by some unfor tunate mistake, a cartridge, much too large, was brought from the magasine of the fort ; the people cut it, and left the overplus powder on the ground under the gun. On firing, iota. sparks set this Ininse restrain- on dim wAeon boTeassaieatesd to the martin., and blew it ep, by which twO of our men were killed, and three badly wounded. best. Kerr was wounded in the leg by a splinter, and bad his face so much burnt, as to be in great danger of losing his sight. Of forty men who landed from the boats, twenty two were killed or wounded ; all before storming, excepting those killed and wounded, by the extant sine. We have the pleasure to add, that when the accouot was written, about a month after the affair, Lieut. Kerr was very moth recovered, and almost fit to resume his duty. ent_s__eerseevrrenesses Yesterday the prisoners were removed from the several prisons in the city of London and county of Middlesex to Newgatr, previous to the ensuing Ses sii ins, which commence on Wednesday nest, the 17th ins. at Justice-hall, in the Oid Bailey. The account in most of the Papers, of two of the unfortunate men under sentence of death in Lan caster Caitle, being intended to be removed for exe cution to Warrington, is erroneous.—The whole of them (ten) remain for execution on Saturday next, on the drop, behind the Castle, at Lancaster. Wednesday night, Mr. I-Warm the Messenger, was dispatched to Lancaster, with a reprieve for two of the persons under sentence of death for unnatural cs imes. A child, at North Shields, on Wednesday last had its hand nearly bit off by a veracious hungry sow, which made a snatch at a piece of bread the infant was eating. On Tuesday last, owing to the carelessness of some of the workmen making too free with the steamenill, in Percy-main Put, Newcastle, she un fortunately fired, when five men were severely borne i, and six sligiuily. In the midst of the scene of horror, an instance of courage And humanity oc curred, which has been seldom equalled. A Mr. Goaoow, with two others, endeavoured to fly from the threatened danger to a place of safety. Mr. Gonuoa effeded his escape; but his com panions were struck to the ground on the way.— Mr. GORDON, judging the cause of their staying behind, heroically returned, in order it possible to save their lives, seemingly regardless of his own He reached the spot, arid by carrying them out of the course of the fire, saved both their lives. We ' are sorry to add, that while employed in this bene volent Aaron lie was most severely burned ; but neither his constancy nor phiianthropy were shook by his misfortune, fur though much more hurt than any of the rest, he obstinately refused assistance fi osn the surgeons till they had dressed all the others. We are happy to state, hopes are now entertained of his life, and that the rest are in a fair way of re covery. There are at present a number of counteefeit seven shillings pieces in circulation, against which we wish to caution the Public. It has been contrived to circul tie a great proportion of this sort of base coin in the nsarkets, and the pieces base, of course, found their way into the hands of most of she deal ers in the principal necessaries of lite. They are pretty well executed, and bear the date, 1803. Urn examination. however, it will be found that they are winch lighter than the mint pieces. It may also be observed, that the border at the trirlue is very unequal. being considerably broader on one part of the circumference, ttan on the rest. . , FO 11E1.01 P(.A.NTATIG NS.

By the information which the Commits received from these and other respeaable autho ties, as well as by the accounts laid before them. was clearly proved to the Committee, that the w vince of Canada is able to export great quantities wheat and dour for the cnnsump'ion of the Brit West-India Islands. In the years 1771, 1772, a 1773. there were imported, annually, from all pa of America, into the British West-India Islands. an average, 182,750 barrels of flour ; during nes the same period. that is, from 1771 to 1775. ins sive, there were exported front Canada annually an average, 261.000 bushels of wheat, and thee. men price of the grain, before the war, did not teed Ss. per bushel. It is true, that soon atter year 1775, the expatiation wholly ceased, in co quence of the war, when great numbers of the it bitants of the province were employed in the pt service, either as batteaur man, to transport pi sioaa in their boats, or as waggoners, to cot them by land, or as seamen , emnlnye d: upon lakes.
