ARAU, MAY 3 . —Lieutenant General Rognial, of the Engineers, has lately made a tour through the Eastern Departments, of France, by order of the Government. It is affirmed that the chief object of his mission was to cc•nfer with the chief military and civil authorities, respecting the political disposition s of the i n h a bit a nts, There is no doubt that be has received perfectly satisfied accounts. 'The other calumniated inha bitants of the Eastern Department are indeed de cidedly in favour of the Constitutional system and liberal institutions, but at the same time sincerely devoted to the King and his august House. It is affirmed that in the beginning of the summer Mon sieur, the King's brother, and the Duke of An gouleme, may be expected to pay a visit to the Eastern Departments. NUREMBERG, MAY 5.- 7 Another commercial report Irons Leipsig, of the 24th April, says, per haps there never were such immense quantities at English manufactures and goods here as at this presets: fair. There is no room for them in the warehouses, and the Hamburgh and Dessau Jews are obliged to throw the bales of calicoes into the street, that the purchasers may have room to move in the magazines. The house of BEKRENSHoRS, at Hamburgh, has sent 1400 bales, and that of Levi GUMPEL 1200 hales to this fair. It we add what is sent by mallyEnglish houses, &c. we may be convinced that the ruin of the German manufactures is at hand. The Saxon manufac turers are in despair, for even their cheapest goods cannot maintain the competition with the English. All the ready money goes to England. The Prussian Tariff has every fair a more injurious influence. The fair is wretched - = nothing is done but in Eng lish goods, which are sold in abundance, though indeed at miserable prices. AVG9BURG, MAY 4 —Commercial reports front Frank tot t, of 25th April, say, our fair is over, and I►as not been so bad as was expected, and as'soine Journals represent it. However true these represen ations may be on the main, it is worthy of ►emark that the German manufacturers, the Saxons, the Swiss, and the .Alsacians, have had a very good fair, and cleared all their stock. A great deal was done in the leather trade too, and in general the fair was much more brisk in the last week than there had been reason to expect. Th Cattle Fair at Haverfordwest, on Fliday, the 12th inst., was abundantly supplied with all kinds oc Cattle; the trade in general was very brisk—in sowe . bargains rather an advanced price; for prime beasts there was a good rice, good lruiset► said high, Colonel Sir ALex. BRICE, of the Engineer and Ordnance Department, ha's just now completed a Survefot the Lands adjacetit to the new .Dock yard at Pembroke, for the purpose of fixing upon the best. situation for the erection of Military Barracks, and the inspection of other public works now going on in that establishment. PLYMOUTH, MAY 14.—Arrived off this port air ! Marquess Camden and Princess Charlotte of Wales, from Bombay and China. DEAL, MAY 15.—Arrived, and sailed for the River, the Inglis, Burradale ; Vausittart, Cowan (late Dalrymple) ; Marquess Camden, Larkins ; and Princess Charlotte of Wales, Grible, from Bombay and China. HARWICH, MAY 15.—Arrived the Earl of Lei cester packet from Cuxhaven, and Prince of Orange ditto from Holland, each with a mail. FALMOUTH, MAY 13.—Sailed the Peke of Marlborough packet for Lisbon; Marlborough packet for the Brazils ; and Princess Elizabeth packet for America, all with mails. MILFORD HAVEN, MAY 13 —Arrived this morning the Guwer packet, with the mail and passengers, from Waterford. Arrived the Hope, Mason, with timber for the Dock-yard, and the Dispatch transport and Tortoise lighter from Plymouth, with stores, and a gang of riggers, to fit out a new cutter about to be launched at Pem broke Yard.

Sailed this moi . niig,' the Chance, from St. John's for Whitehaven, and the Diligence Revenue cutter on a cruise. BETTING-RC DEI II to 4 agst Pindarree sto 1 agst the Scum filly 5 to 1 agst 4 10 1 apt Antigallicatt 6 to l agst Abjer 7 to 4 agst Emmeline to I agst Prudence 6 to 1 agst Bride VILLAGE JUSTICE.—A beggar having been un snceesstul at a farmhouse, at Parthinghoe, in Northamptonshire, in his request of relief, stuck his stick into a pound of butter as be passed the daily, but being detected by the owner, Mr. George, a respectable farmer, he was told that HS he had had the butter, he should share the butter milk, and was, accordingly, by the aid of friends, soused into the hog tub, almost to suffo cation ; and after a little castigation from a horse-whip, he was suffered to quit the village, amid the hissings and hooting, of thr mob as-. ie in bled. Secondly, I shall consider it as suggested by duty, and vindicated by self-preservation. In order to illustrate this point, let us suppose that. Ministers were to be accidentally informed that a dreadful and diabolical conspiracy, fatal to their own lives, the security of time Throne, and the tranquillity of the Nation, was ripe fQr execution, what would duty suggest ? That they ougbt to suppress it. What would prudence, as it regarded themselves and common justice to the pet sons im plicated, dictate ? That they ought to employ Spies to ascertain the fact, the extent of the danger, and the guilt of the Conspirators, in order to se• cure themselves against the imputation of supine. ness, rashness, or injustice. But, on the other hand, that they were not to do this, what would be the result ? Certainly, that they would be liable to be arraigned for a dereliction of duty, and a supposed participation in the machinations of the Conspirators. Or, suppose that a General, instead of sending his Spies to reconnoitre the enemy's camp, tl►e number of his forces, the nature and extent of his fortifications, and the advantages of his position, etc. were at once to lead his men to the charge, and thus expose them as an easy prey to superior numbers, a destructive artillery, &c. what would be the consequences ? Why, that be would lose all reputation for Generalship, wantonly sac' ifiee the lives committed to his trust, and prove a traitor to his country ; and, lastly, he would be tried by a Court-martial for a wilful neglect of duty, in not availing himself of necessary information through the medium of Spies, &c., and, perhaps, ultimately be condemned to a disgraceful death. Thirdly, I shall consider it with respect to the reductio ad absurdu►n. Let us then, for the sake of argument, allow the position, viz, that it is unjust to employ Spies. What then is the ob vious inference deducible front such reasoning 2 Why, that notwithstanding the most positive in formation as to the certainty and extent of a Con• spiracy fatal to themselves, the Throne, and the Country, Ministers ate to sit supinely still and not trouble themselves about it. Is, I would ask, such a position consonant with common sense, just reasoning, or sound policy ? or with the duty and responsittility which Ministers owe to their Country and their KIND, their Conscience and their Geo ? The palpable absurdity of such a po— sition is too apparent to need further remark. I shall, therefore, subscribe myself May 12, 1820. A BRITON. WESTMINSTER ELECTIODI.—The following it he substance of Mr. BOYCE COMBE'S Petition :—That "at the late Westminster Election, a majority of persons baring a right to vote at such Election, voted, and tendered their votes, in favour of the Hon. Geonac LAMB, over and above the number of legal votes in favour of the said JOHN CAM HonnousE, but that ARTHUR Moatsis, Esq. the High Bailiff, adthitted the rotes of many persons upon the poll in favour of Mr. HoeunusE, who had no right to vote at the said Election, and rejected the votes of divefs persons who bad a right to vote at such Election, and who would have voted, and who tendered their rotes, for the said GRORGE LAMB." The second allegation refers to alleged practices of bribery and corruption, in the fol'owing manner .—" That the said JOHN CAM HonitousE, before, and at, and during the said Election, was, by himself, his agents, friends and managers, and others, on his behalf, guilty of bribery and corruption, in order to procure his return to Parliament, and did by gifts, loans, and rewards, and by promises and agecments, for gitts, loans, offices, employments and rewards, and by other cor rupt and illegal practices, procure a great many persons to vote for, and to promise to vote fur, the saidJOHN CAM Hoe House." The petitioner then prays, as usual, to be heard by himself, his counsel and agents, touching the matters con tained in the Petition. A living animal. of the Antelope spcies, called a Nhn, having the bead of a cow, the mane of a horse, and the hind part resembling that of a mule, was brought to England in the Barossa, from the Cape of Good Hope. These animals are inbabi. rants of Southern Africa, but very rarely to be met with. The one now brought, home belongs to Lord CHARLEX SOMBRSEL HOME MISSIONARY SOCJETY. The Second General Meeting of the above laudable Society, which has for.its object the dis setnination of the Scriptures and Religious In struction among the poorer classes in this country, was held yesterday evening, at the City of London Tavern, and was most numerously and respecta bly attended. At six o'clock, Sir Thos. BELL took the Chair, supported by J. BUTTE RWORTH, Esq. M.P., W. MARTIN, Esq. and several eminent persons. The First Report of the Society was then read ; it commenced by stating, that since the establishment of the Society, only a few months, they had received the encouraging sum of 7161. 6s. Id. The Report next proceeded to state the great want of religious instruction in many villages in England, particularly in Nor t hutuberlaml, Durham, and part of Lancashire. The Report concluded by commeming on the great utility of sending Missionaries among the poorer classes in dis►ant Counties,' where the re- ligious instruction they would receive might greatly ,tend to make them bear their depressed circumstances with resignation, and save them from listening to infidel and turbulent men. Sir'THostAs BELL, Mr.,MAETIN, and Mr. BUT TEftwoRTEI, together with several Reverend Gen- tletnen, ably advocated the claims of the Society, and severAl of them bore testimony to the great vvant•of religious instruction in many villages in e country. The Committee were then appointed for the en suing year, and the usual votes of thanks having passed, the meeting, which completely fined the Great Room, adjourned.
