The Turkish Government, as we had previously learned through other sources, had collected its strength . to make one great effort to overwhelm the Wahabees. Their tleet in the Red Sea consisted of 100 ships of various sizes, constructed with great.dis patchiand secrecy in the Egyptian. ports, and con veyed by the assistance of camels to Suez. On board were troops which had been successfully employed in operations by land and sea against the infidel cities. To crown the success of this crusade against the Wahabees, nothing was wanting-but the recap ture of the city of 11 ecca, which would - beattacked . on the-arrival of.the army of Egypt,' Do : Printed by 1 HOMAs WOOD, of No. 55, Maiden-lane, Covent-garden; and 'Published by WI I 1.1,.•,‘.1 .A RMI.C; SCR!

On Saturday were received Calcutta Gazettes to the 6th of December, from which the following are extrads: The British detachment in Bundlecund, under Captain Watson, was in September engaged with. a predatory force, commanded by Gopaul Sing. The latter, being repulsed, retired under the w.tlis of the fortress of Chargong, a fastness of most difficult ap proach, and which he , had strengthened with great skill. His troops,- however, gave way at the first charge of our infantry in front, and a squadron of the 6th Native cavalry coming round, 'pearly at the same instant by the ravines on their rear, the whole force'was destroyed or dispersed. Gopaul Sing, however, with his usual good fortune, escaped frbm the toil. _ _ _ It appears, by accounts from . Hindoostan, that the aijpoot States, alarmed by a sense of their common danger from the ambition of Amcer Khan, have been aroused length to great exertion,. The army assembled to oppose this ambitious and enter prising chieftain has been successful in several en counters, and cut off his supplies. He was,' in cork , sequence, much distressed for provisions and money, and being alarmed by the desertion of the Afghan chiefs, had abated of his demands. It was supposed that, unless inspirited by some decided, success, he would ultimately- relinquish his design against the Rajah of Jeypoore and his capital. Runjeet Sing was preparing for his expedition against Mooltam. He had organised his infantry after the European fashion, and clothed them in the English uni!orm. The • Rajah of Mooltam had made offers of tribute to Runjeet, which had been refused : and he had in consequence signified his determination to defend hii colintry. T 1 .'kingdom of Cabul was restored to perfect tran quility. The - predatory banth had retired from Herat; and INLiirriood Shah and his Vizier Futteli Khan were preparing for an expedition against Catih mere. We are sorry to learn that the troops in garrison at Batavia have suffered severely from the fever..Of the Ist battalion of the Bengal marine regiment, not a man had escaped its attach, and to many it ha 4 proved fatal. • Dird Minto has been aftli6led with a lameness in one of his legs. At the publte levees at Calcutta, in November, his Lordship was under the necssity of receiving his guests on a couch ; but in other re speas he appeared in excellent health. • , Sir .Samuel, Auchmuty, at the above time, was daily expeated at Fort St. George from the Malabar coast. The celebrated Mahratta Chieftain Jeswunt Rao Holkar,.died at Bhanpoorah, on, the 27th of WO ber. He had been long confined to his bed, and his bodily strength, as well as mental faculties, had for saken him. Lieut.-General Hewett may be expected in the next fleet from. India. He embarked at Calcutta in December. . A new ship, called the . iitercronity, was lannch , ed at Calcutta in November. Her burthen is 12283 tons. She wai built in the short period of ten Months. The keel of a new 74, to be called the Cornwallis, had been laid down in the same dock. The master builder,4einsettjce Bonionjee, is it native of India, and deemed skilful shipwright. Two Sepoys and a seaman have been recently murdered by the colonists at Port Louis, Isle tf France. Those' who have declined io take the oath of allegiance; had, been warned by proclamation to quit the respective settlements. A body of 600 Caffres have recently beeniliken into the. British service, and cliscipliued by Lieut.- Col.

ATVA'OOD called in and examined. [Continued from our Paper of Saturday. j Then how con;d you, in stating your information from that source, exclude, as you now ten the Comm4tee you did, the manufadnres of that dis tritt ?—I believe I did•not say that I excluded them; I believe I said I was not aware that by -any means so great an amount of their goods were sent as of the ,manufaaure of Birmingham. Then when you spoke of 800,0001. or 1,000,0001. as being the export from Birmingham to America, did you 'or•did Jon not mean to include the mann tadures of those distritits ?—I certainly did mean to include some part of the manufadures of those Cis tritis, but to what extent I cannot speak. By what means of distipetion . - ould you separgc any part from the rest ?—The principal means that I lave of distinguishing any part from the rest is, by observing the very great distress that has taken place in my own immediate neighbourhood, that is in the town of Birmingham : wit hitthe last twelve months I have not been in the neighbourhood so much, and therefore I can speak • of their aistresses only' from the report of others, and from what I have teen on one side of Birmingham within ten miles, where reside occasionally. Thr,tpestion does not respect the distresses, hut the aclual export haye no other means of judg ing what part of the, 800,0061. or 1,000,0001.. of produce was manufat.tured in Birmingham, than by observing the great - distress occasioned in Bir mingham since the cessation of the American in tercourse. You judge'-then of the ame;unt of the ordinary export, from the present distr - es ?-1n• a grearde. gree ; I do not mean to say; that I judge of .the amount of the "present exvort by the distress, that would be a very fallacious mode.; but I mean to say, that I calculate upon my own persOnal observation when I stare that amount, and my reason for think ing the greater, part of that •was the ntaoufa&ure of Birmingham atone was; my seeing the accumulated diStresses of my neighbours, within jilt last\weive months. - - Then you mean t 6 state, that speaking of Bir mingham .alone, the total value of the manufactures may be about 2,000,000 i. ?--1 ihink so.' Of which 800,0601. Went to America ?— , -1 'think so. One half then, or- 1,200,0001. of those: mann,. raetores having lost their former mai kets —Certain. ly J should consider I have not. • - - Yet you state, that one thilai of the present ma nufadurers must be out of 'employ, and that ;he remainder must loci reduced to halt employ, that is, that two-thirds of the manufactureS must _be out of employment,. if the intercourse with America is not opened ?—I am altogether aware of the imeropriely of judging of the distresses of the manufacturers from paper documents, or froth anV guess calcula tions of the exports or_imports of Birmingham, or tfie country at large; my own way 'of judging of their distresses is my having seen them, and I - have seen them with great regret for the last 12 months. Yoti suppose that twolthirds olthe employment will be reduced by the loss of less than one-half of the trade ?—I am not aware that I said two-thirds ; I did say that one-third might be turned off, and pro bably the remaining two-thirds would be employed at short -work,, perhaps hall ; but it is impossible for me to say to what extent. I have takeh con -sidersble pains to ascertain , the real state of the la bouring part of Birmingham, and if , it is proper I will state the measures I took, to ascertain. that : previoria to the investigation respecting the, East India Charter, being convinced . that though justice was eternally the same, and policy and light the same, yet necessity was stronger than all. I ad dressed twenty letters officially to the most respect. able manufacturers in Birmingham, men engaged in the largest manufactures of the town, and men in whose characters could place undoubted reliance, 2 and in whose word I could place the same; the object of those letters was to ascertain the. real state of employ of, the labouring meehanics of Birming . hani : two months are the answers intilv greater part of those letters solemnly assuring me they had not more than one-third a full' employ; I consider 'that the full extreme ; many others of them asured me they . had not more than one-half, and but a few.' assured me they had not aboVe two-thirds ; but I ,had no letters whit% assured me :they had More than two-thirds; the average of tho•Se letters was, that they 'hail, nut at this boar more than half a full em ploy.; they_ might exist, because ten shillings, a week is tut - Belem toexist upon, but it is a miserable existence to men used to receive thirty or. forty it raises them above parish rtlief,"and if they do• apply to the piash they willreceere no relict till they are. upon the'ver(7 * e of starvation.' • Do you escribe.any part of this distress to the presaut high price' of provisions I—Certainly the. distresses of the' tnanufactnrers are greatly embitter ed by the high price of rTo he continued.] Saturday, in the court of Common Pleas, an ac tion against Ihe • Si:6 ria was tried for the cniscun 7 ductui one of his 'officers, who having to levy an execution ,on the goodsgf a person named Gardner, whose whole furniture; in the estimation of tl)e neighbouri, was, nOt worth more than WI. laid in advertently suffered some utensils and bruches to be curled off to the house of a tteihnour.
