The following extract of a letter, under date the 4th of March, front a most respectable Of& cer on the Staff of the Marines, will put our Readers in possession of the melancholy result of a recent settlement, established in the end of the last year, by orders of Governor FAactukfAß, in the North-west part of the Island of Madagascar : " The pilot boat returned from Madagascar last night with the melancholy news of all our establishment at the new set tlement on that Island having been murdered by the natives, and poor old‘BurCh Is amongst the sulTerers.L-What I has e learnt of tlie particulars are ns follows:—It seems one of the Chiefs was displeased s►t not having a present made him, and , demanded apiece of blue cloth, which Mr. U. refused hi e ► ; the coniequence was, words ensued, and Mr. B. struck the Chief, upon which a Mr. Butler, one of the Europeans, was Eliot upon the spot ; howuver, it was settled for that night by some of the other Chiefs interfering, and the next morn• ,lag the English were sent for to attend a Committee of - • Chiefs, that the business might he amicably settled ; in►nte diately upon their er,tering the place in which, they were as sembled, unarmed, they shot Mr. Blemnan. The, others of • cours e ran for it; however, they all fell, excepting the gar dener, Nv . ho es c aped into the water; and the boat picked him 11 1), hut the poor fellow died four ttlys before the arrival of the vessel here.',' To-day we insert a Police Report, giving an account of the misdeeds and apprehension of ano ther of the Blood-Traders, whose practices will, We trust; be all brought to light. The following remarks front the 89th Number of GOLD3MITH'S :Citizen t he World, seem very applicable to the boyvkil circumstances of these Conspiracies:— " Soine nights ago (says my friend), sitting alone by my are, I happened to look into an account of the detection of a sort of men called the thief-takers.. I read over the many iideous cruelties of those haters of . , mankind, of their pre tended friendship to wretches they meant to betray, of their sending men out to rob, and then hanging them. I could riot avoid sometimes interrupting the .narrative, by crying :eat, Y e t these are men !

The ships will all rendezvous at Gibraltar. A company of royal sappers and tniers, ander Major GOSSIST and Captain Rain, is embanked ou board the Queen Charlotte and Minden. , . BARBARY STATES. Letters of the 3d July lave been received from Tangiers, which make no mention of the affair at I.arache, announced in the Paris Papers, awl from the lateness of the date, truly be regarded as a contradiction. 7n fact, there were no resident Christians at Laroche to destroy, nor ships to burn. This miserable place is (hually vi•ited about this time of year by a few SpAnish and Por tegUese fishing-boats, and they possibly have heem sacrificed by the Emperor of Morocco Of the people in a fit of ill humour ; but even an utansge to this extent is utit very probable, as it does not enter into his policy to .quarrel.wit h these nations. Eirache' is the only n.tval arsenal be longing to his Iniperial Majesty, whose whole fleet consists of but one or two corvettes, and a small vessel presented to bins a few year's ago by the Prince Regent of Bug) Ind. This grand fleet is in . the habit of cruising of the coast for a month or two iti the soinnter, and as hiS MAjeSiy recognises as friends only such Power's as are represented by. a Consul at his Court, they generally bring in such vessels as are mot thus protected, and detain tl:eir crews, with a view to extort this homage front 'their respective Sovereigns, 'Russia, Acts tria, and Prussia, never having ctindescended to'pay this respect to Morocco . , their flags are, of course, exposed to this jovillt in the pre sent as well as in former' years. The fitting out two or three vessels lit Laroche, to cruke agitiost those POwers, as announced in the Note of the Prussian. Minister at Paris, is therefore nothing. It is merely the Continuance of the olti practice, anti is not necessarily-there suit of a datermination to co-operate with Algiers 'and the two other Barbary States. • Among the Persons of Distinction who dined yesterday with Mr. A fiIIUTIINpT were the toll*. ing :—Duke of WELLINGTON, .1 . 40 rd JAvtaroot., Lord CASTLEREACM, Lord BATiturtsT, Hon.
