WAR AND DEBT. A calculation bis lately 'been 'Matte, from which it has been ascertained, that of the 127 years, which elapsed•between the Revo%id mi and the General Peace in 1815; 65, or rather more than one-half, have been passed in war, on which 2,024 millions have been expended; which sum is thus subdivided : Millions. War of the Revolution, from 1688 to 1697 3 6 War of the Spanish Succession, 1702 to 1713 621 Spanish War, 1789 to 1748 54 Seven Years War, 1156 to 1763 American War, 1775 to 1783 War of the French Revolution, 1 793 to 1802 464 War with Buonaparte, 1803 to 1815 Of this e xpenditure we b orrowe d , and come quently saddled posterity with the payment of principal and interest, 834.4 millions, and raised by taxes the remaining 1,189 millions. During this period it is added that the poor-rates in creased from 750,000/. per annum to 54 2 - mil lions ; and the average price of wheat from 445. to 935. per quarter. This calculation, it will be seen, only looks at the matter in a money point of view ; but if, at the same glance, the mind could embrace the sacrifice of human life, and the mass of pain, misery, and wretched ness, which those wars produced, surely both the understanding and the feelings must shrink from the contemplation of such scenes and such 'consequences, occurring in a State professing to be guided by the lights and influence of Christianity. But laying the moral influence out of the question, and appealing only to the more sordid interests of mankind, surely there must be force enough in the foregoing 'statement to induce any one to pause before he would involve the country in fresh wars without a strong- and urgent occasion, and which can only have the effect of adding to the enormous load which the folly, and something worse, of those who have gone before us, have inflicted upon the country.—Morning Paper. JOHANNA SOUTHCOTE HERSELF AGAIN. It was some time since mentioned that three of the followers of this defunct dame were on the Sunday evenings holding forth to the walkers in the King's Park. They are still sauntering about here, and on Sunday se'nnight the orator coupled the name of his prophetess with the long-expected Millenium, in a war which would have been highly amusing, from Its extravagance, had it not been shocking from its impiety. The preacher stated, in so many words, that Satan- had created much confusion in Heaven before he and his rebellious legions were expelled those blessed mansions, and the arch enemy of mankind was at present creating a great qir and disorder among the nations of the earth, previous to his final expulsion, and the commencement of the Millenium. By referring to the 12th chapter of Revelations, it would be found that, when the Woman clothed with the Sun was about to be delivered, a great dragon stood ready to devour the child, but it was caught up into heaven. In like manner, a great dragon—" the wickedness of the world"—had stood ready to devour the celestial child of Johanna Southcote ; but it was born in secret, and conveyed to a place of safety by superna tural agency, where it was living in obscurity. — The orator did not state whether this son of the Prophetess was residing in a distant pa rish or a distant kingdom—whether he was at school or at some useful trade—but he averred that, in a few years, he would be especially invested by Heaven with power to work a miraculous change on men of all, colours, castes, and creeds, and introduce the Jong-expected Millenium. A sceptical wag in the assemblage, on hearing this astounding clincher, bawled out, " 0, Sandy Campbell, that'll no do." Instead of being disconcerted by this bold interruption, in which his veracity was questioned, the preacher, like his prototype in the play, vociferated in reply, 1$ Rail on, ye scoffers, for you know not what you do," A dreadful schism ensued in the congregation, and a scene of noise and confusion ensued, which was rather unseemly on a Sunday evening. It is a mortifying reflection, that any of the people of this enlightened city should be so weak and cre dulous as to squander their money upon these strolling apostles of ignorance and impiety,— Edinburgh Paper. As a proof of the peaceable condition of Tip perary, and the disposition of the peasantry to obey the law, we nay assert on the authority of a letter from Tip perary, that seventeen men were lately escorted safely to pr;son, guarded only by the jailor and one policeman.

As the circumstance was noticed, chiefly perhaps from the Mistle without, the window was raised and the bird caught. In "a short time it recovered, and after being made a pet of for two or three days, had the honour of being conveyed in a carriage and four as a pre sent to the children at Raehills.—Duerfries Courier. MISERIES OF A STUTTERER.—A short time ago, a gentleman, in the west of . Scotland, had (yea sina to sink a well in his garden. After the well had been completed to a considerable but necessary depth, he ordered o tradesman to be sent for to perform some operation at the bottom of the well. The gentleman was afflicted, in an uneommon degree, with an impediment in his speech ; and it s o happened that the messenger brought a person who poke as unintelligibly as his master. While the trades ;llan was occupied in th e well, the gentleman unfortu nately paid him a visit , and, loo king over the parape t, roared out, " D-d-d-do yu-yn.y., thith-thith-think ‘ • ma-ma-k' ;u -yu-you wr-wr- a goo-goo-d jo jo-b o' that "?'

The gentleman, who is of a pe culiarly sensitive and irritab le disposition, no-usner heard the reply, than, without saying a word, he ran to a heap of stones that remained unused in the building of the well , and seizing the largest, was about to fling it on the head of the innocent mechanic, when his arms were seized by a bystander, who explained, and convinced the enraged er n _ ployer that his workman did not mean to insult The result was, (the gentleman being glad that he had eaeaped the commission of murder, and that there was ;Loather who was as bad a speaker as himself), that, after tn. , work was t urnpleted, the two orators sealed their am ty py a hearty drinking bout,-.-Wdineuri4 OUerrer , imeme LITERATURE. FARR ON CANCEROUS ULCERATION. LONDON, 1828. Dr. Farr has conferred a great benefit on the public by - his present' able treatise on'that most dangerous and obstinate of all disorders, the Cancer:-, He has evidently devoted considerable attention to the treatment of such ailments, and as his praetice has been widely extended, and his remarks founded on his own personal experience, we think they are entitled to respect. In almost all stages of the Cancer he deprecates the use of the knife; which, however, he says, is far less in vogue now than it was some six or seven years ago. A mild method of treatment he thinks infinitely preferable, particularly that method which tends to the production of crusts or granulating mar gins ; during the process of which all further ulcerous discharge stops. On this subject Dr. Farr observes, " I have one such case now under my care, the patient, a female upwards of seventy ; the ulcer original exceeded four inches in circum ference ; those walls (or crusts) are now formed, so that it would be difficult to introduce a quill into the centre of the ulcer, if ulcer it may now be called, and with this circumvallation her pains and suffering have ceased, and she has recovered her accustomed health and spirits." The can cerous ulcers which are least obnoxious to the production of crusts, are those situated on the face and in the breast where the operation of ex cision has been performed, arid the diseased glandular mass has been removed. "In such cases," adds the Doctor," when the wound made by the operator refuses to heal by the ordinary means now employed, you may generally succeed by incrustation." The most dangerous period for Cancers, and that at which they are the most difficult to cure, is the age of forty and under ; the ulcer is then generally both rapid and resistless in its effects. Dr. Farr describes the crusts by the terms of natural and artificial; the former, of course, is the safest mode of cure, but the latter he has found efficacious. The process of formation is as follows : " NATURAL CRUSTS. " When the symptoms are mild, and the wound is in a tranquil state, the formation of this crust may generally be effected by means of the lotion No. 1. " This lotion is to be applied twice or thrice a day by means of a sponge, and allowed to fall freely over the wound—when this is done, a piece of writing-paper, larger than the size of the wound, is to be laid over it, and covered with lint. The object of this is. to prevent the lint from coming in contact with the ulcer; by these simple means a crust will sometimes form in three or four days, generally within seven days, provided the wound be in a favourable state. "On the second day you will frequently see con cretions beginning about the edge, and minute gra nulations arising from the centre; when the effect is thus speedy, it is generally in cases where the wound made by the operation has refused to heal, but is at the same time in a very tranquil state " But should a wound of this description produce too abundant a discharge for the concretion to take place, it will be necessary in the first instance to di minish that discharge, which the practitioner may easily accomplish by taking a portion of the oxyde of zinc, and making it into a paste with a little water, with this he is to fill up the wounds by means of a soft camel-hair brush, and within forty eight hours, he will generally find the discharge considerably diminished, and probably sufficiently so to enable him to use the lotion with the advant age as before mentioned.* 14 . By such means as these, 'a lady who was operated upon nearly five years ago, continues to form crust after crust upon the wound caused by the operation, which has never healed. These sometimes remain for even three or four months, and indeed, they are generally detached by accident. When that is the 'case, she proceeds to form a new one, and with this treatment she is new satisfied, for the wound does not increase in size. Now when wounds of this kind can be easily incrusted, and tolerably healthy granulations arise, there will be no difficulty in producing cicatrization, which may be done in this way. is.scertain by small punctures in the crust the extent and state of granulation, and if favourable apply a poultice over the whole, first moistening ;he margins with some unctuous appli cation ; after the application of a few poultices, the crust will readily be detached ; then take a little of the oxyde of zinc paste, • and apply it very thinly over the granulations, which if not thrown off by the discharge, should be washed off daily, and the granu lations slightly touched with the sulphate of copper, every oecond or third day, or as they may require it. This article is preferable to the lunar caustic; but if the latter be used, it should fie with the utmost de- licacy, as with the end of a feather. In this way, or by some modification of ii, you will soon see cica trization beginning; and eventually you will suc ceed in completely cicatrizing the whale surface of the wound. "The same treatment /a applicable to this descrip tion of ulcer in the face at any period of life. But in advanced years, the incrustation is not always formed with the same facility, and this iewls me to consider the second hind of crusts. " ARTIFICIAL CRUSTS. " These, as I have said, may be formed by the ap plication of certain pastes or powders to the ulce rated parts; and first of the pastes, which may be composed of the oxyde of either zinc or bismuth, but neither of these remedies will pro duce crusts which can be preserod whole for many days, and they may rather be considered as prepara tory to the more permanent ones which are to be produced by the lotion. There may be attendant circumstances,' however, which may demand the speedy formation of a crust ; thus you may have assured asi the patie n t of th e practicability of such a measure, . I and o f t h e b ene fi t w hi c h \s ill r esu lt f r om It; she will then naturally feel anxious to have it epeedily allay her effected; and with 4 view to satisfy her doub ts , fears, and put a stop to con-' 1 stant anxiety, which is fill up the w oun d with al ways injurious, you may one pa s o te r other (the o z f i ne these if t o h x e yt ie dis charges and in a , previously m a d e i nto a have a crust, which however the natural is be abu n d ant ) , n sh : o t t h .t er ti c m o e ea y s o il l y t wil l comfortably born e a beneficial or dur a bl e . i t has h owever one; nor is it so diminiehdischar ge , ing the and prep aring the wound for the formation of a natural igaicns f o rrust, and what is at least of equal importance , who will beassured f youthe confi patient; from the facility o l f v i t t he which you hav e f ormed this nhi .e iista tion, that you can produce another o f a more per manent c h arac t e r when you pleas e . " I shall now pr oceed to describe th e other mode of incrusting can cerous ulcers, which i s b y means of the acetate of lead, an d calamine in powder, coin bined occasionally with opium. " To ulcers in the breast, the proportion o f the acetate of lead employed may be greater than to those on the face, or other parts of the body, be cause it is never absorbed when applied to cancer ous ulcers of the mammary gland, as it frequently is, if long continued to those of the face. " The proportions I generally use with the view to produce incrustation in ulcers of the minim are, one-third lead, and two-thirds calamine, and I may here remark, that you will ocraqionally m eet with oxyde of zinc, which wi'l give tle patient consider able pain when applied, and that which (has this effect has always a strong earthy smell, when opium is added, an eighth, or a tenth it; but occasionally I have used the acetate of lead, and calamina, in equal parts ; if there be too much lead, however, it will prevent; I niust observe, the rising of granulations. To ulcers situated on other parts of the body, I use from a sixth, to a third part of acetate of lead.t The powder thus made, should be sprinkled: on the ulcer, and allowed to re main, and by'- the super-addition of more powder from time to time, the desired crusts will at length be formed. ‘‘_,By ono or other of these modes, I have succeed ed in incrusting many ►►lcers unquestionably cancer ous, arid not content with incrustation only, I have proceeded in the way previously described, and given to the granulating surface a complete and healthy cuticular covering." In speaking of the effects produced by the knife on Cancers, Dr. Farr asserts that they are merely temporary, for that the most extended period for the disease - to return is about eight months, the shortest three weeks. During the existence of this most tremendous disease, it is not 'infrequently accompanied by erysipelas, thus verifying the old adage, that misfortune seldom comes alone. Under these circumstances Dr. Farr observes, that the stomach is invaria bly disordered, and that, therefore, " the first at tempt must be to quiet the irritable state of that organ," which _is best effected by occasional draughts composed of the calcined magnesia, the sulphate of magnesia, and the spirits and water of peppermint, given twice or thrice in the day ; and at night by a powder composed of the hydrargy cum cretfe, rhubarb, the common cin namon powder, and a solution of opium in water, applied warm to the part. It is a singular fea ture in Cancer, that the period of gestation in females, which puts a total stop to so many dis eases, consumption among the number, has not the slightest effect on this terrible disease. " Consumption," writes the Doctor, "is entirely suspended by pregnancy, it is quite the reverse in Cancer, when that disease has its seat in the breast ; then if pregnancy supervene, it invariably hastens the dissolution of the patient, and in no instance that I have seen, does she live to com plete the full period of gestation, she usually dies in the seventh or eighth month !" Such being the character of this most loath some and fearful malady, such its destructiveness, such its deep seated principle of production and re-production, what gratitude ought not the public—the female portion of it more espe cially—to feel for a physician who has devoted years of study, years of painful uninterrupted study, to its consideration and its cure ! For upwards of ten long years Dr. Farr has atten tively considered the subject of Cancer in every form and modification under which it could possibly lurk. He has now come forward with the re sult of his investigation—a result which goes far to strengthen hope, to quicken research, and to prove that in this, as in almost every other analagous disorder, that treatment is the best which is the mildest in character and the most consonant to nature. It will be necessary to defend the skin surrounding the ulcer from the lead ; the best mode, in such cases, is to cover it with a paste made with oxyde of bismuth. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, Oct. 14.; PARIS, OCT. 13.—The Augsburgh Gazelle states under the head of Ancona, that the Convention-con chided between Admiral Codrington and the Pacha of Egypt, had been the subject of important negocia tions between the Ambassadors of the three Powers. It is asserted that Count Guilleminot has strongly disapproved of the manner in which that Treaty was concluded. The Correspondent of the Augsburgh Gazette, at Munich, observes, that people have been in too great a hurry to announce the defeat and rapid retreat of the Russians before Shumla. " It is morally im possible that that army, which still maintained its positions on the 13th of September, should have already reached Bazardjik on the 15th, and besides this, must have been known at Varna, from which we have news up to the 17th, but which contains nothing of the kind. The same may be said of the corps which besieges Silistria. It has been reported at Vienna for above a week ; but as it has not since been confirmed, it must be considered as destitute of foundation. SEMLIN, SEPT. 18.—The last mail from Constan. tinople brings nothing important, but the military preparations are worthy of attention. All the Turkish nations appear animated with a warlike spirit.— Numbers of Asiatic troops, mostly cavalry, con tinue to arrive, arid proceed to the Danube, after halting a short time. several of the exiled Janis saries have been discovered among them, who were immediately arrested, and publicly thrown into the sea. Three frigates have been fitted out, which, accom panied by a steam-boat, carrying 24 , guns, that has lately arrived here, are going to observe the Bos phorus. The Turks seem no ways intimidated. All the young men take arms, and the old men say aloud, we know that the Russians are going to blockade the Dardanelles—that the English threaten Egypt, and the French the Mores ; but we confide in the God of Mahomet, whose onThipotence will aid our arms. The Sultan, before proceeding to business, goes to the Mosque; after prayers he reviews the troops in Constantinople, and then goes to Eglick Dschami, out of the gates, where great batteries are erecting. The Castle of the Seven Towers is to be fortified and provided with 150 pieces of cannon. From the suburbs of the Potters, three rows of batteries have been erected, which have at least 350 cannon. Of the six gates between the seven Towers, and the harbour, all are to be shut except two; the new gate, and that leading to Adrianople.—Agranz Gaz. FUNDS.---PARIS, OCT. 18.—Five per Cents. 105 f.

We have received a singular complaint from a gentleman who came passenger to town by the Exeter mail yesterday morning. This mail conies jot° London by Piccadilly, and has hitherto stopped, in common with all coaches on the Western-road, at the Gloucester Coffee house, or some contiguous tavern, for the convenience of passengers residing at the west end of the metropolis. This practice, however, it appears, is now changed in favour of a " new regulation " of the Post-office, whereby passengers, whatever their destinations, are carried on to Ludgate-bill, where one general delivery is made of the mail-bags, and other contents of the coach. Our in formant states, that not being aware of this "new regula tion," he, and two other gentlemen, all residing at the west end of th e town, w i t h t h e i r servants an d f r i en d s i n wa i t i ng at the Gl oucester C o ff ee- h ouse, were carr i e d at f ull spee d throu g h t h e streets of London, to the Belle Sauvage, Lud gate hill, in spite of all remonstrances, the coachman de claring he was obeying new orders issued within the last week.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 18211 We received this morning the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9th inst. According to an article, dated Bucharest, September 26, the affairs of the Russians were in no better condition in Little Wallachia than in Bulgaria. The troops which were destined to reinforce General GEIS MAR had received contrary orders, and marched to Silistria. General GEISMAR was in conse quence obliged to fall back from Widdin with his whole force, amounting in all to little more than 6,000 men, and take up his position at Crajova. The reason assigned for this move ment is, that he was not able to contend against the PACHA of Widdin. Really it would be marvellous, if he could. With an army of 6,000 men, the Russians expected to besiege the strong fortress of Widdin, containing an army of 30,000 men ! This is, we suppose, another specimen of the EMPEROR'S moderation, and a precious one it is ! The Russians from the outset of their campaign acted upon this absurd principle. They thought that to show their eagles before any fortress would ensure its surrender—and it was . from this presumption more than from the resistance of the Turks, that they failed in their ambitious anticipations. There can be no doubt that the Turks fought bravely—but there can be as little doubt that the Russians did not appear in sufficient force at any one place where im posing force was necessary, Brailow excepted. This at once explains the wonder at their want of success. They boasted enough about their number and resources, but they did not bring forward the one nor use the other, in proportion to the magnitude of their undertaking. Their three hundred thousand did appear, often enough upon paper, but they did not cross the Danube. Indeed, half that number would more than cover the force that passed the Pruth before the first of August—and those that followed served hardly to repair the losses sustained by their pre decessors. This will -be found the true so- lution of the mystery. That the Turks de fended their fortresses with an obstinacy worthy of all praise cannot be denied ; but then the task was rendered more easy than people are aware of, by the insufficient number of the Russians. At almost all the sieges the Turks mustered more than the enemy without the walls. It was even so at the grand point of at tack—the centre of ambition—Shumla, where HUSSEIN PACHA counted more soldiers behind his impregnable walls than the EMPEROR brought up to reduce them ! How then could the Russians hope to conquer ? They had no right to expect miracles in their behalf—and they may now thank their stars that matters are no worse. The dis parity of their force before Widdin, though less than it originally was, may serve as an illustra tion of their sieges elsewhere. If we may credit the news received by com mercial houses at Bucharest, the garrison of Varna had been asked to capitulate, which they indignantly refused. This, we apprehend, is the true version of the story, recently spread by the Russians, that the Turks had offered to sur render. The main object of the Russians seems now to be the capture of Silistria, as well as Varna, in order to obtain, by means of these two fortresses, a secure basis for their operations, in case of need, to cover the winter quarters of the main army, No news had been received at Bucharest or Semlin up to the 24th and 26th September of the surrender of Varna. But that such an event must have taken place was generally believed. Perhaps to-morrow will throw some light upon this interesting subject : BUCHAREST, SFPT. 2G. The inhabitants of Little Wallachia are still very tmeasy, l as the troops which were to :•einforee General Geismar have received counter orders, and march towards Silistria. General Geismar is therefore not able to contend with the Pacha of Widdin, and has taken up his quarters with his corps, of about 5,000 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, and 20 pieces of cannon, in CrajoVa ) in order to protect that town against a . • surprise, at has:sent a tattalion onsifalVA and two squadrons of light cavalry to occupy the Midge of Sytjan, in order to oppose the passage of the enemy over the Schyl. The corps of Prince Scherbatow is following the army of the Danube, and it is believed that it has been resolved at head-quarters, above all things, to get possession of Silistria and Varna, in order to obtain, by means of those two fortresses, a secure basis for the operations, and in case of need, to cover the winter quarters of the army. For this purpose the corps of General Roth is to be reinforced, and the subsistence of the army be sent as far as is pos sible from this place. The army is said to be par ticularly in want of forage, and hardly 4,000 men to be still mounted. A quantity of hay has indeed arrived from Odessa at Kustendje, but the whole was soon consumed ; and it is said that it has been necessary to feed the horses with wheat flour, which, together with the bad water, that contains a great quantity of calcareous particles, increases the mor tality. The men too have suffered much from sick ness; the hospitals are, however, amply provided with every requisite, and the most judicious mea sures are taken, so that most of the sick soon re cover, and are fit for service. Commercial houses have received the news that a capitulation has been offered to the garrison of Varna, but it has refused it; and that the bombard. ment of the town has recommenced, which was all in flames. Silistria is also said to be vigorously born -barded. VIENNA, OCT. 30 , Count Lebezeltern and Prince Kinoki, who were at Genoa, waiting for the arrival of her Majesty Queen Maria da Gloria, have now received orders to return hither. The inhabitants of Vienna are making various preparations to celebrate the fete of our beloved Sovereign. The theatres and the pub lic walks and gardens will be speedily illuminated. VIENNA, OCT. 4. —Aietalliques, 94i ; Bank Shares, 1,079. SEMLLN, SUPT. 24. The rebels in Bosnia are said to be still in a state of complete insurrection, and intend to make them selves wholly independent of the Porte. The new Vizier, who was.to succeed Abdul Rahnatm, and take the chief command in Bosnia, has not been able to make himself more obeyed at Bosna Serai than his predecessor, and was compelled by them to retire to Travnick. The new Vizier:was formerly Se'leder of the Pacha of Rudschuck : he has retained all the troops that Abdul Rabman Pacha had under his command, and has brought him orders to go to the army in Rumelia, for which he accordingly set out on the 31st of August. The French Papers of Monday contain no news from the East later than that already re- ceived. Doubts are thrown upon the rumoured retreat and disorganization of the Rm. siaii army before Shornla, especially as the retreat was said to be so rapid. That the Russians made a retrograde movement is allowed by themselves ; but then it was only with the sick, wounded, and baggage ; the fighting part of the army was not likely to make a precipitate retreat before the disabled portion was safe in the rear. The situation of the force besieging Varna, too, was another strong reason for pru dent conduct. But the accounts in the Ger man Papers for the last week were full of the retreat and destruction of the Russian Army. The fact is, that many of the German Papers are under the influence of speculating people who build much upon probabilities, and scruple not to take whatever advantage they can, by the disse mination of probable but false reports. At Con stantinople the note of preparation was still the order of the day. The SULTAN superintended every thing, and infused a portion of his own extraordinary energy into his admiring subjects. We direct the attention of those interested in the consumption of coals, and who will not be interested shortly, to what transpired at the Surrey Sessions yesterday. The frauds alleged to have been practiced, if suffered to con tinue, will be as dishonourable to the Magistrates as they have been disgraceful to the parties im plicated. In another column will be found an article upon the representation of Birmingham in Par liament, from a spirited little periodical publica- ion in that town. lithe spirit of intolerance be not roused in Kent it will not be for want of fitting provocatives, both Clerical and Military. In another part of our Paper will be found two Addresses to the Men of Kent, both having the same object in view—Cant and Hypocrisy---one from Lord HARRIS, who left: all his charity on the plains of Hindostan—and the other by the Clerical Magistrates of Kent—observe—the pious Magistrates who wish to see the peace able plains of Kent converted into scenes of popular commotion, with the laudable view no doubt of showing their own Magisterial alacrity in suppressing whatever tumults may arise out of their disinterested appeal to the people. But both these worthies—Lord HARRIS on the one hand, and the Clerical Magistracy on the other—have been so well handled by two of our contemporaries in another part of the Paper, that we are saved the trouble of doing more than referring the well-wishers of both, to the articles from the Times and Chronicle. No doubt the Noble Lord, and the Reverend Gentlemen are sincere in their wish to do good, but unfortunately for themselves, and still more so for the men of Kent if they follow such advice, they have taken the wrong way to benefit their fellow subjects in pocket, or enlighten them in mind — especially in that charitable virtue which would do unto others as they would be done by. But let us hope that the men of Kent will think for themselves—and so disappoint the stirrers up of Anti-Chrittiaui principles, from motives as inte rested as they are intolerant, nAf , SHIPPING INT.ELLIGENCE—(THiS.- FROM LLOYD'S. _ A fp) , • DEAL, OCT. 15.---Wi n d London, the Hope, Reynolds, for Trinidad; James Cruikshank, Young, for St. Vinseneo.4 PORTSMOUTH, OM 1.5.---Wind his Majesty's ship Rose, for the Cape and o . o i the Eleanora store ship, for the Mediterrane an; Wanderer transport, for Sierra Leone. oft MONTROSE, OCT. 13.—Arrived the Se Robertson, from Davie Straits, with 13 64/' tons. - co LYNN, OCT. 15.—Arrived the Windsor, r i nano from Quebec; Glory, B unn , an d Whim, '-fr; from St. Petersburgh; and Fortitude, Nfaoil'' Wyburg. b e rlon d HULL, OCT. 15.—Arrived the No r t u tm 4 , Brady, from St. Petersburgh ; Woodhouse , from Riga ; Don, Hall, from Wyburg; Barnard, from Memel ; and William, Bril tm " from Stockholm.
