The enti- - seutitans to till parts of America appear to be currying on to an immense and ruinous extent ; notwithstanding that in the Lulled States hun dreds are actually .starving, and have no employ ment, and Bri ish.vessels carrying away numbers of their delnded countrymen back to Great Brit at this moment there has actually been a British hi rate in one of the American ports entering mento complete her crew. Numbers of letters have of late been received in America from deserters of the, army and navy, imploring permission to , be allow ed to return upon Any terms p and the English seamen who have entered into the United States' navy complain most bitterly of their treatment and the extreme severity of their,diseipline ; and say, lbw although their wages are seemingly greater, they are badly fed, and have to purchase every ar ticle at an VXOI bit4nt rate. Seamen consequently toter for the Amorican ships of war with great re luctance, and only when distress compels them. About the first week in September, three hun dred and sixty-eight settlers or emigrants arrived St Quebec from Great Britain, and six other ves sels were then reported going up the river St. Lawrence vvisth passengers It in in contemplation to send & steam-vessel front the United States to Russia, where it is said the Kmperor has proinised an exclusive privilege for tine term of 20 years. STI:A 110.1 rs. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SLTti. fluiditi, Nov. 5, I IG. much has been said for' and against Steam-boats, that it may perhaps be acceptable to your Readers to have some authentic in formation respecting them. It is I believe ge nerally „ known, that some of the vessels ply be tween Holyhead and Howth, and that the object is to supersede the regular Post Office Paeliets, A Gentleman high in the Department here, in Wiich is the dispatch of the Mails, is the avowed champion of Steam, and, doubtless upon public grounds, has become one of the Directors of the Steam-boat Company. On the 19th tilt. I reached Holyhead on my route to this place, and it was my intention to have taken my passage in one of the regular packers; which I know from experience to be an admirable class of vessels, commanded by gentle men of acknowledged profes'sionul skill, and the greatest part of whom have served in the navy. I learnt, however, casually, that this Official Di rector was about to take his passage for Howth in one of the Steam-ho,ns, and as I conclud ed that, whatever might ii..ppen to the Public at large, they could lie% (1. tl►.nk of exploding one of their own Directors, aint that we could not fail to make a passage with extraordinary rapidity and certainty, under such auspicious circumstances, abandoned my original Intention, and resolutely faced the dangers of being hlown up, anti afterwards drowned, and embaiked in the Steam boat. To sea we went, and proceeded prosperouly— the weather was as favoorable as it generally i 4 al this season of the year, and I congratulates niysclf on my choice, and, on the good emu , pany I had fallen into. Now, Mr. Editor mark • how a plain tale shall put down all cavillers against Steam-boats. We reached nowt!' in safety, and in the unprecedented short time of thirty-nine hours. It is ►rue that the average passage of the Post Office Packets may be about one-fourth of that time, bHt it nutit be recollect- ed that they are niere vulgar common shipsoioved by means. of masts and, sails, and • navigated by men utterly ignorant of . the very first rudiments of meehanics. Whercai every individual on board the Steam- boat „from the aforesaid Director to the Man, who stokes die tire, ib it Mall of science (in his respective degree), and discourses most elo gitentiy on the ductr;oes of propulsion, &e.&e. &c. Who then, let me ask, howevet mgent ;night be his buskess, would not prefer a scientific pas slge Of 39 limos to a vulgar wie of 9 ? It one there be, I do not envy either his teeliugs or his Capacity. I have now, Mr. Editor, disc(►arged my duty to my Country, and to the Steam.!boats, by this tribute to their superior facilities; and I am happy to add, that it was whispered to me by no less a personage than my Teat ned friend the Stoker, that our fellow-traveller, the Director, has it in con templation to establitdi a Steam Mail Coach of 4- horse power between Holyhead and London, to travel with equal certainty and expedition with the Steam-boat, and that, upon a principle of economy, my triend is to fill the double capacity 'of Guard and 'Stoker (or Coachman). I am, Sir, your faithful Servant, PHILO-FUMUS. The palpable depravation of the public taste evidenced by the revival of Mr. LEurts's grand eques trian speciacie is, we think, well rebuked by *Via- GIL Degcneres animas Timor arguit." Mr. KINNAIRD, it is now tf tated, did not leave Town for Bath after the explosion of the Drury bane Committee. Mr. K. is in Town now, having returned on Sunday last . from Brighton, and it' whit upon his return that he found, unexpectedly, that his !mine and that of-Lord BYRON were su perseded in the Committee. Yesterday evening, at Covent-Garden Theatre, FARLEY, in the l'ageot of Timour the Tartar,' having exCliimed with his usual effect, Is Do you know who I ant ?" a frail fair one in the slips called out, it You are FARLEY, and you shall know who I am." The circumstance occasioned con siderable laughter. We are sorry to find Sir W. CURTIS, Bart. is confined to his house, at Ramsgate, with St. An thony's fire in one of his legs, which is lunch swollen. The worthy Baronet's general health in other respects is good. The 3it and 7th . battalions of the 60th Regi ment, and detachments of the 15th, 62d, and 98th Regiments,. are at present quartered at Halifax. , .- tour companies 01 each of the latter two ,corp being at Bermuda anti Newfoundland. The 100th Regiment is quartered in New Brunswick. • LIMERICK, Nov. 9.—Yesterday there was a very heavy tall of snow in the county of Since last night a smart.storm, accompanied with heavy rain,' visited this city In the gale this morning, the brig Hawk, in coming up to one -of the quills, sustained some considerable damage. At, nine o'clock on Friday night, as Dr. DROSI. dooLa was, returning home, be was stopped at Westland-row by tour armed men, who knocked him down, and robbed him -of about five tenpen nies' in change, with which they effected their es- cape.- - - (Dublin Paper.) COBBEtT EXPOSCD. (From "THE TIMES.") " We believe it is now snme five or six years ar.To iinee The Tilnes. journal put down the work en titled Cohbett's Weekly Register, and sunk its author inTo obscurity and contempt. The occa sion of this event we shall briefly retire :—Mr. Cos- BETT bad been sentenced to two years' iiiprison ment for a libel : and • (luring the time that he vas in Newgate, it was..discovered that he had secretly been in treaty with Government to avoid the sentence passed upon him ; and that he had proposed to certain of the agents of Ministers, that if they would let him off, they might make what future use they pleased of him : he would entirely betray the cause of the people ; be would either write or not write, or write against them, as be bad once done before, just as Ministers thought proper. To this, however, it was re plied, that et COBBETT had written on too many sides alrewly to be worth a groat for the service of Government ;" and he accordingly suffered his confinement. By the time when be came out of prison, The Times was ready to publish the whole of . this base transaction, on unquestionable evi dence, and did so publish it, in the form of two letters ; the consequence of which was, that Mr. COBBBTT was all but hooted, and in fact was hootedt from a party of his own friends met to celebrate his liberation. Since that time we had thought that his journal bad wholly dropped to the ground ; some other writers, such as those of the Independent Whig and Examiner, who were more virulent and impudent than himself, having sprung up. We learned, however, lately, that Cabot's Register was still in existence, having crept on in obscurity for a series of years ; till Oat, recently, as public distress thickened, it had seemed to revive a little, and might, probably, by his arts, if he were not again exposed, be foisted into some degree of circulation among 'the thoughtless. We have accordingly found, that in order to puff it into notice, he has lately re published one of -its articles in a cheap form, for trv(vetice, athlresied to the journeymen and la 7 hoorers of the kingdom,.earefolly , telling them hat he will deal oat some " further intormation to them in a future number;" we do not know whether at the same price of twopence, or at the more 'exorbitant °He of twelvepence halfpenny, which his register costs.. • As Mr. CIMEHTT appears to be a great friend of the labouring poor ,the Lord have mercy, by the way, 'you :hose poor that labour 'for him), mid or the people of England in general, we shall —not examine ourselves, but—let him prove his Own claim to that title, in his own wordy gene rally. In his twopenny address he calls the jour neymen and labourers " Friends and Fellow " countrymen ;" tells then) (as is true) '' that " the real strength and all the resources of a " country ever sprung and ever must spring front " the labour of its people : elegant dresses, su " perh furniture, stately buildings, fine roads, nay, " even fleet horses,' " he says, " all spring from labour." " With this correct idea (lie says to the " journeymen and labourers) of. your own worth " in your minds, with what indignation must you hear yourselves called, the populace, the. " rabble, the mob, &c. ?" So reasons Mr. Cobbett of yest er d a y. B u t we ask him, and you, the peo ple at England, it it is infamous, as it certainly is, to give you opprobrious names now, whether it was not equally so 14 . years ago? And yet you - will find by the tolloning extracts from Cotthett's Register, that he was the very first and bitterest to. apply these terms of reproach 'to you, which he now so reprobates. In his summary of politics for July, 1802, when he is abusing peace with BuffilarArle, he says, " If we were ready to lend the Americans aid, then indeed the cession of " Louisiana would" have been a happy eircum " solace ; but we want peace (note—this is spoken in derision) ; peace and a large loaf', " as the base rabble of Norwich replied to the ar. " guments of Mr. ‘Vindham."—(Pot. Reg, vol. 2, p. 50.) But more of this hereafter, when we come•to his no-notions about Parliamentary Re form. Yet you may some of you be surprised to find hint, as above, vilifying both you arid peace with his friend Buonaparte. So it was, however, at the time when the above extract was written : be was constantly engaged In calling both pia and him, and your friends and his friends, all the .villains, and brutes, and wretches he 'could lay his pen and hiS toogue to, And we will tell you further,—what his heart we knoW tells hint,- that in half a moment he would turn round and begin calling you ail wretches apt! rabble again, if he could get any thing by it. We know that he now pretends to have been ignorant of many things when ire wrote against the cause of re, form; but , surely, if he was either brim or L'ued an Englishman, he could at no time be norant that the people of his country Were not, as he defines those of Norwich, " A BASE RAU !mg ;" or if they were so, why is it more scan (talons in other people so to call them than it was in him ? " But A-propos of Buonaparte and peach with him. He now tells you that that person is the kindest-hearted Gentleman possible : that he ne ver 'meant any ill to England, only to tickle us a little or so ; and, thatlit is a great pity we ever conquered him ; we have thereby rivetted the chains of Europe. Gentlemen, bear what he said of the Corsican a few years ago, when we had Jperhaps foolishly) endeavoured to patch up a peace with birn : • " The French official paper of the 14th inst.

Reg, vol. 1, 765, (June, 1802,) This was Mr. Cobbett's view, at the commence ment of what may be culled the consular war, of the tyrannic power and inundating barbarism which we; conformity with his recommendation, undertook to combat : ,he told us, that if we did not destroy Buonaparie, he would destroy us ; and now when we have succeeded, and have actually hasten bim.down, the same Mr. Cobbett turns and tells us, that we are all wrong, and have done a great deal of Mischief; and that we should have done much better to let him stay in France, and so, as he calls it, " exterminate, us." Why, what can 'such a man mean, or has he any meaning at all, hot to make money of a parcel of dupes and fools 3 " We cannot however, present Mr. Cobbett's quondam opinions of Buoniparte, without adding those avowed by him also respecting the Iltiur bons, and the lawful 'Government of France " In March, 1802, Mr. Cobbett, in a critical notice of a Work, entitled A Word to the Alarm• ists on the Peace, by a Graduate of the sity of Cambridge,' says, " When the fountain is " impregnated with poison, who ran hope to " drink living waters from the stream 3 We do " not ascribe to the whole Unisersity of Cam " bridge a concurrence in they'. iiri ; des promul e, gated from the press of wer " Hunt's and our old friend Benjamin), whenee . .
