Some provision linnet be made for these wretebed beings, though it is hard that the burden should come upon this city (Albany), as it seems to be at present, for it has lately become their chosen thorough fare, as they are pouring upon us from the North as well as from the South. Hundreds are drifted down the Northern Canal to meet hundreds more floating up the Hudson, and all of them are found - in the same des titute condition.”. Your Committee do not doubt that the House will be of opinion that if many thousands of emigrants were to be added to the numbers here complained of,*the n uisance would be so intolerable in the United States, as to induce them to increase the severity o f their aws against the introduction 'pf pauper emigrants.; and if in consequence of their being driven from the United States, all those wretched beings are to be poured into the Canadas, the same circumstances of distress and misery must ensue, and the burden will be intolerable to the Colonies. _ • On the subject of an Emigration solely intended to supply the demands of labour, your Committee would particularly call the attention of the House, and of his Majesty's Government, to the .evidence has been given with respect to the d . emiu .:al for labour in the Colonies of New South ‘,T,, t a u, v ith Diemen's Land, and the Cape of ,G oo d n opo more especially to that proposition N,vilich has been suggested, of the Colonists 'ant4. l ertaking to repay, in a prescribed manner, atv Pnycore which may be in curred in the tran: d p ort o f, Emigrants, for wh6se labour there is . a special demand in those Colonies. The? do tr o t entertain any doubt that if the subject be duly examined, if the evidence be transmitted to the Colonies, and information be invited respecting tht practical execution of the measure, a principle of supply may be adjusted, at an early period, under which the Colonists of the Cape, and of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land may receive ,lisely that proportion of labour which is suited to their wants ; while at the same time the ixdePend ence which an indefinite supply of fertil land pre vides for the labourer after a few years of exertion, will tend progressively to transmute all such labourers into Colonists, and to create fresh de mands for labour from the population of the mother country. The advantages that may be expected to accrue to those Colonies from the supply of a com modity, that is, labour, for which the most intense demand exists, dill, your Committee doubt not, be fully apprecifited by the House: An examination 'of the valuable evidence taken 'before -your Coramittie upon this subject, will show that; there is no catike which so much retards the progiess and improve tatnt of those Colonies as the want of labour to 'bring their resources into full developement, and will also establish the fact, tbat if a supply of labour be afforded to them, carefully adjusted to the real demand, the claims which their necessities now enforce upon the Mother Country will be progres sively diminished ; and that in the satisfactory appli cation of th,at simple principle will be involved ,a degree of "improvement in We Colonial system of this country, which can scarcely be anticipated by the most sanguine person. VIIL_CQNCLUDING OBSERVATIbNS 1.71 . 017 THE ADVAI.7.- 'EAGES OF A REGULATED EMIGRATION, BOTH .TO THE COLONIES AND TO THE MOTHER COUNTRY. Your Committee would shortly call the attention of the House to those natural and artificial checks which, if emigration be expedient as a national mea• sure, will prevent its ever being carried on to a di gree prejudicial in any sense to the interest of the Mother. Country. First, as the emigration is to be strictly voluntary, very teW labourers will be dis- posed to leave their own country, who find that their labour can produce a return sufficient to maintain themselves and their fa;alilies at home. Secondly, as the expences of t'ae passage of the emigrants to the Colonies, if the suggestion of your Committee be adopted, fall exclusively upon the district, parish, of individual, who may consider such call- wants redundant, either as tenantry, or as labourers, no contribution will ever take place to aid emigra tion, except in cases where such conviction dis tinctly exists, as to its necessity. Thirdly, if any at tempts should be made by districts, parishes, or in dividuals to get rid :of parties, being infirm persons or of bad character,.it will be the duty of the Erni . gration gnt, provided that a Beard be formed on the principles recommended by your Committee, to reject all such applications as inadmissible under the proposal offered by the Government : the assistance of Government being strictly extended to such dais of emigrants only U 3 are specified in the tANo first pro positions. The.carrying on of any regulated system of emi gration.upon an extended scale can only be justified by the blended consideration of two main and prin cipal points : first, the real saving effected at home by the removal of pauper labourers, executing no real functions as labourers, and not contributing to the annual production ; secondly, the probability of direct though progressive repayment from those la bourers, when placed as emigrants in the Colonies, and the indirect consequence of theincreased de mands for British manufactures, involved in the cir cumstance of an increasing Co;onial population. It will be seen, by rekrence to the evidence of Mr. Malthus, that he admits, that if there are la bourers in the cour:ay for whose labour there is no real demand, art who have no means of subsistence, those - labourers are of no advantage, as far as the wealth c,fr the country is concerned; and conse quently, that if they were to die, or to be removed, the wealth of the country would in no degree • be diminished by their decease or removal. He con siders labourers in this state of redundancy, as ope rating as a tax upon the community. Your Com mittee have referred to this opinion, because there is much prejudice in the country upon this particular part of the subject, among persons who imagine that any abstraction of the population must be attended with prejudicial consequences to the general wealth and prosperity of the country ; a proposition pre cisely the converse of what your Committee belie've to be true in the case of labourers, for whose labour no reel demand exists. Mr. Malthus admits that if it can be shown that the expence of removing such labourers by emigration is less than that of main taining them at home, no doubt can exist of the ex pediency of so removing them; and this, indepen dent of any question of repayment. A question was put to him, " You have referred more than once to the expence supposed to be sustained by the Govern ment for emigration ; would you continue to use that phrase, if it could be demonstrated that the ex pence would be repaid bythe production of the emi grant in the new country to which he is taken ?" He answered, " That if it could be, he should not continue it." He was of opinion that the general wealth of the empire would be increased by an ac cession of population in the Colonies, independently of the advantageous consequences resulting to this country from the abstraction of that population which is here in redundancy; and that the introduction of English population into those colonies would tend to furnish a very valuable market for the labourers of this country, even if they were not to continue to belong to the British empire. William Penn, in his " Benefit of Plantations or Colonies," after adverting to the various emigrations recorded in history, says : " I deny the vulgar opinion against plantations, that they weaken England - ; they have manifestly enriched, and so strengthened her, which I briefly evidence thus: those that go into a foreign planta tion, their industry there is worth more than if they 'staid at home." Again : " They are not lost to England, since England furnishes them with much clothes, household stuff, tools, and the like neces saries, and that in greater quantities than here their ,e7dition Could have needed, or they could have here, being there well to pass that were but low . ' not poor, and now masters of families too, when here • th e y had none, and could hardly keep themselve s; and very often it happens that some of them, a f ter their industry and sticcess have made them wealthy, return England, one this capacity empty their riches into twenty of wh a t he _ w ac . ity - being able to buy out inpttiry into whieh, rear as whenh? we nt out." The Committee . have entered, votablishes a ptopo 't* 5 . 1 ion precisely similar, and `fur nishes the principal justification of suggestinc , an appropriation of the public funds, by way of loan, for the purposes of emigration. It is advanced, as an argument against emigration, that if redundancy. of population arises from an excess of labour as compared with demand, that is, with capital=if both labour and capital be nbstract- , ed in proportionate quantities, the ratio of redun dancy will still exist precisely the. same, that is, supposing that the capital withdrawn bears the same proportion to the capital remaining, which the popula tion withdrawn bears to the poptilatien remaining; and consequently, that although - the nurnberiof the popu lation may be actually diminished by emigration, the ratio of their_ redundancy to the capital of the country may still remain the same. Undoubtedly. if the 95,000 persons proposed to be remov-„; now sustained at home by a p ro d- c•-•• tive capita wereo f. leave the real con _ the amount of 1,140,000/ •- cpe . removal of both would t• ton of Inc country very much d; the same. t the capital that May be supposed to . t ypoit those labonrirs borne, is strictly an 1 , - ,sproeuctive capital, In other words, it 'is mortga ged to the compulsory maintenance of parties wh• are themselves allowed to be unproductive labourers. If, therefore, which your Committee would not be . in any degree prepared to admit, the capital neces sary for the locating of them as emigrants were pre cisely of an equal amount to the capital now em ployed in the maintaining of them' at home, still the transfer of the same amount of capital froM the one appropriation to the other, would be a transfer from an employment both compulsory and unpro ductive, to one strictly prodective, if the evidence taken before your Committee can be relied upon. Your Committee are fully aware that if it could be demonstrated, 'or even ; shown to be. probable, that 1,140,0001. or any greater or less sum, could be employed in any part of the mother country, with the presumption of an equal amount of wealth being produced, and consequently with equal security of return, as in the case of emigration; and, above all, if the comfort and independence of the 95,000 persons proposed to be removed as emigrants, could be equally secured by employment at home, a very strong argument might Ise raised against the expe 7 diency of emigration. But the opinions to be'de rived from the very extensive evidence taken before your Committee, in which the subject of cultivating the waste lands of the mother country has been fully considered, are conclusively in favour of the profit to be. derived from the employment of capital in the cultivation of the fertile lands of the Colonies, asj compared with the unproductive appropriation of capital At home in the employment of these paupers; and the House will understand that it is upon these opinions that the recommendation of your Commit tee is formed. Even if the consideration of the double returns for the' capital advanced for emigra tion were put wholly out of sight, namely, the direct return by the repayment of the' loan advanced to the emigrant, and the indirect return arising from the additional 'markets furnished for the commodi ties of the mother country, as well as by the gene ral increase of the wealth of the empire, your Com mittee are nevertheless satisfied . that itit could be . proved that the 95,000 persons were strictly redun- Aant (in the sense employed by 'your Conamittee), and 'that the vacuum would not be filled up, the ex • penditure of 1,140,0001. for their removal would, in a national point ofview, be an advantageous and judicious outlay. But as the precise extent of the redundancy of those persons could never be abso lutely proved; and as no conclusive seeurity could be obtained for entire•prevention of the filling up of such vacuum, they are prepared to allow that a na tional outlay for the purpose of emigration, unless attended with return, direct or indirect, 'could not be justified. In illustration of this opinion, if the two results considered in 'the two preceding paragraphs could lie warranted, namely, that the vacuum could be pre -vented from being filled up, and that the labourers are strictly redundant, the proposition would stand thus :—The 95,000 persons, being destitute of all prOperty, and not receiving wages, must necessarily subsist on pecuniary relief in some shape or other. The evidence before your Conmittee shows that 31. per annum is the estimated minimum of the average cost of sustenance of each of those 95,000 persons taken collectively. The lowest annual charge, therefore, for the maintenance of those 95,000 per sons amounts to 285,000/., and a charge to that ex tent is a tax upon the prbductive industry of the community. The difference, therefore, between the interest upon the loan proposed to be advanced for a regulated system of emigration, 'namely, 57,0091. a year, and the computed annual charge of 285,0001. being 228,0004 must be'considered 'as clear and entire gain to the community. In other words, the ratio of capital to population at home would be aug mented, instead of being lessened, or even remaining the same, after the emigration of those 95,000 persons. ' ; _ The House will not fail to observe, that if emigra tion could be carried on as a national system, the colonies would increase rapidly in wealth, and have the means furnished them of taking upon themselves the various expenses, military as well as civil, now incurred for them by the mother country; and this without any addition to their burdens, but on the contrary accompanied with an increase of wealth more than proportionate to the expense which they would have to take upon themselves. With a rapidly increasing and thriving population, and under a liberal system of colonial policy, the North American - colonies cannot fail to attain, at a comparatively early period, the means of relieving the mother country from the annual expence incur red in their maintenance ; whibit by the general establishment of our colonial relations upon the prin ciple of, reciprocity of benefits arising from commer cial intercourse and the operation of common inte rests, the question will be solved, of the advantages which a parent State is capable of deriving from a well-organized colonial system. The population being thereby materially increased in our colonies, perpetually increasing demand would exist for the manufactures of the mother country ; and this not in the slightest degree arising from the relation be tween colonies and a mother country, but on the mutual interests of the two countries, as it would be more to the interest of the British colonies to pur chase manufactures from the mother country, than to become manufacturers themselves. On the other hand, it, would be mere to the interest of the mother country to employ her capital in the fabrication of manufactures so wanted, than to employ it in the cultivation of her own waste lands of inferior fertility. Wherever there is an indefinite quantity of unoc cupied fertile land, wages will of necessity be high, and manufacturing capital will not naturally establish itself under the circumstances of population incident to such a country. Manufactures can only be ex tensively produced in a country where a great num ber of hands are withdrawn from the cultivation of the ground, in consequence of the la;►d producing no adequate return of profit from increased cultivation. Your Committee beg to refer the House to a paper given in by Mr. Buchanan, in page 455 of the evidence, which shews that the ordinary tonnage in the trade between the mother cou►►try and the colo nies furnishes, as far as stowage is involved, the means of emigration to the extent of 400,000 per sons per annum. Your Committee cannot omit to call the particular attention of the House to this eh , : cumstance, as furnishing an extraordinary means of carrying any system of extended emigration into effect; and a collateral advantage arising from this circumstance is the increased 'cheapness of the re turned freight in timber, supposing the shipowner to have part of his profit realized by the payment of the passage of the emigrants, as contrasted with the necessity of effecting, as hitherto, his voyage out in ballast. Your Committee finally beg, in the strongest manner to confirm the opinion expressed in their Second Report, at the earlier part of the present Session, which states " their deep conviction, that whatever m►►y be the immediate and urgent demands from other quarters, it is in vain► to hope for any permanent and extensive advantage from any system of emigration which does not primarily apply to Ire land, whose population, unless some other outlet be opened to' them, must shOrtly fill up every vacuum created in England, or, in Scotland, and reduce the labouring classes to a uniform state of degradation and misery."

PARIS, OCT. 2.—The Constitutiqnnel seeks' in vain in its sepp'ositiont the success which it has been able to obtain by its arguments. We have alleged, and article of the tr- we allege, tte r 4 or intervention in the affairs of the Last as a proof of the disinterestedness of Ritssi• For is it not as clear as the day, that an ambitiou Power would not have entered into a lea& pr 7 eisely eontrary to all ambition ? It is pretended that his engagement to refrain i a snare laid fer Russia by its allies._ _ _ _ . What a snare! A clear, precise, and absolutp condition, which does not admit in any language either of double meaning or of subterfuge. Why not rather consider the 'declarations of the three Powers as an assurance of peace given to tI4 world, especially to the enemies of the Greeks, anti a generous means of accelerating the pacification ? We have conceded to our adversaries, that the text of the treaty was not so precise, with respect to the arrangements to be adopted on the supposition of an armed resistance to the forces of.the mediating Powers,;' and is not this very want .or precision proof of the little probability of the hypothesis ? For it is not natural to abandon the object to the chance of events, after having regulated the means; or to show so much 'prudence in the accessories, neglecting the principal part. But in making this concession, we have not failed to add, that it was impossible that additional measures', if circumstances should call or them, should not be in harmony with the principle. We have affirmed that " the future conduct of the Powers would be conformable to the spirit.of the treaty, for the reason that the mode cannot be in contradiction to the principle,. and that the inter vening Powers have declared that ambition was en tirely foreign to the motives of their intervention, nothing that can favour the, common ambition, or particular ambition, can cuter into the chances of the intervention:" Now see how the Constitzttionnel translates this reasoning :—" We shall take nothing, if there is no opportunity to take; but if an opportunity, offers itself, we shall see.' It is for the reader to com pare the text of our reasoning with its commentary. (From the Gazette de 'France, Oct. 4.) ' LEGHORN, SEPT. 21.—The Prosper English brig arrived yesterday, in.3l days, from Alexandri a . It had been taken by a Greek pirate, which put six men on board to carry it to Napoli di Romania, but hiving perceived the Egyptian fleet, it took flight, leaving on board the Prosper the six men, who were afterwards landed at Malta. • The fleet of the Viceroy of Egypt sailed from Alexandria in the beginning of August. On the 6th, an English brig of war arrived in that port from London, with orders to hinder, if possible, the sail ing of the fleet. (Fr in the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.) PARIS, OCT. 3.—The Moniteur of) esterday con tained a truth. Its official publicist proclaimed the definitive union of all the people of Europe in the same ideas and interests. The result of all the labours of enlightened men is henceforward obtained. The constancy of philosophical writers could not be more worthily honoured—civilization could not gain a more glorious triumph. It will he • complete, when the maternal and intellectual alliance of the Europeans shall extend to other parts of the world. We do not tkspair even of this. The result we have men tioned could not have been obtained but by the uni versal tolerance of opinions, and the uninterrupted exchange of the products both of commerce and the mind. The present civilization; whichlas shortened distances—the taste for travelling and instruction, which preserves a connection between all the distinguished men of all parts of Europe; the political and literary Journals, by means "of which generous ideas awake in a thousand -places generous sympathies—these are the causes which, after having created the' alliance of the people of Europe, will guarantee its dura tion. We know that e small number of narrow minds and short-sighted reasoners have endeavoured to stigmatize as cosinopolitism, the love.of humanity. It is apprehended that a man's country will lose some share of the affection . due to it, and those ge nerous sentiments which might release men from the sweet bondage of home, are sometimes dreaded. Such a dread is honourable; but let the upright ensole themselves. The affections may extend themselves without becoming weaker, and men may love their home without ceasing to love their coun try; and the latter attachment is quite_ consistent with an attachment to men of all races and colours. The first fruits of this alliance of different people will be to put an end to war, to respect treaties, to mu!. tiply. and receive commercial relations, and to in crease the prosperity of every country. The love of country ceasing to be exclusive, will co-exist with a reasonable respect for the people of all countries; and these two sentiments, far from opposing, will sup. port one another. But if the union of the people of Europe is a fact worthy of the attention of philosophy, it acquires additional importance from the influence it ought to have on the policy of Governments. The time no longer exists when people can be governed by means of a national hatred, persecuting neighbours as ene mies, who must at any price be got rid of. To the maxims of imperfect civilization and a narrow policy more liberal maxims have succeeded. It is no longer supposed that the extinction of one society is the only condition on which another can exist. The union among men will have considerable effect also on the liberty of each nation. The different people will acquire the same tastes, the same habits, and the Governments of all will resemble each other in many respects. Absolutism must lose in the change, but will humanity regret it ? The absolute Sove' reigns themselves will soon come to comprehend the fact, that an unlimited power is not so secure as the limited power of Constitutional Kings, and that the moat secure throne is that founded on the laws. The Public Prosecutor has appealed' against the acquittal of M. M. Mignet, Sauteler, and Gautier Laguionie. The new Penal Laws of the Canton of Lucerne 1 1 have been acted on since July Ist. Among the crimes punishable by the Code, the corruption of public functionaries is included, and the same penalty applies both to the seducer and the functionary who allows himself to be seduced. This double penalty offers a reciprocal guarantee to the two guilty per sons to'preserve their common secret. For some days the summits of the Jura and the Alps have been covered with snow. CORFU, SEPT. 16.—(Extract of a Private Let ter.) —The Egyptian fleet, consisting of SO sail, h as arrived at Navarino. The disembarkation took place without interruption. We do not know when this fleet arrived, but the news is, unhappily, too true, for our Government has received official ad vice of the circumstance. The trifling advantages gained by the Greeks will, therefore, be of no avail. Ibrahim Pacha will continue his excursions into the interior, and will devastate the yet uncle restated parts of the Peloponnesus, 'and shed the blood of a Christian people, who having been fed for three years on herbs and roots, have hardly strength enough to lift up their hands to implore the assistance of the Most High. lam afraid I shall yet have to describe the cruelties which the barba rians will exercise on those people, whom a savage tyranny has forced to take up arms to relieve them selves from a most burdensome yoke. This expedi tion, it is true, and many others like it, will not suc ceed in exterminating a whole nation; but, it is vexatious to see the European Powers treating with the Grand Seignior, while he, as if playing with them, puts in motion the resources of the three con tinents to attain his object.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 18Q7. The French Papers of Wednesday; — and the Gazette de France dated Thursday, have been received. The chief bearing of their contents relates to Greece. It now appears beyond doubt, that the Egyptian fleet has landed about 6,000 troops at Navarino, to which port they have been conveyed principally in Austrian vessels. This simple fact speaks enough of the cold-blooded policy of Austria, whose Cabinet, has all along been secretly or openly opposed to the indepen dence of the Greeks. But Austria may, after ail, have gone a little too far, in her scheming insin cerity, and we should not be sorry, if the course of events must necessarily involi'e the great Powers in active measures to complete their humane ♦iews, that Austria should feel. their effects in a manner not hitherto contemplated. Austria has once been a formidable Power, but the secret of her might has been unfolded, and she will do well to look to the future, before she play the game of double-dealing with such powers as England, France, and Russia. Her conduct throughout the Grecian struggle for independence, has been truly characteristic of her deep-rooted aversion to every thing li beral or enlightened, and this last act of her maritime agents makes neutrality a mockery. We have no doubt that the sailing of the Egyptian fleet has been accelerated by the instigation of Austria ; and that when the PACHA of EGYPT declared his inability to expedite its departure on account of the want of vessels, that, the tender of Austrian transports had been made, in order the more effectually to destroy the remainder of the unhappy Greeks who survived the massacres in the Mores. Now that the 6,000 troops have arrived safely t o re inforce IBRA HIM PACHA, he will be in It con dition to devastate what yet remains uncon taminated by his ruffian hordes ; while the unfortunate Greeks are in a manner incapa citated from acting by their acceptance of the in tervention of the Allies. The calamity is still further aggravated by the knowledge that two days' earlier information would have prevented the land ing of the reinforcement. But in this, as in other matters, good may spring out of evil, and the brutality or insolent conduct of the Turks may precipitate theta into difficulties from which they cannot extricate themselves. They have landed in the Mores, but the chances are ten to one that they never return. We have no doubt, if they so far commit themselves, as to provoke the vengeance of the Allied Fleets, that the SULTAN wilt soon see the ne cessity of giving up the struggle, and withdrawing himself from the . sinister alli ance of Austria, thrOugh whose councils he has been placed in his present extraordinary dilemma. To counterbalance the landing of the rein foreement to the Turks, it appears that the Greeks have obtained several a dvantages over the 'troops of ACHMET PACHA, whom they drove out of the convent of Tabiachi, and cap tured all the provisions and ammunition which had been collected in that place after it had been converted into a fort. But this is not all ; General CHURCH, at the head of the Rumeliot troops, repaired to the Province of Sicyonia to prevent the advance of the enemy, while Cow coTnoNt the elder descended from the moun tains of Calavrita, with three thousand men . to invest Petra& A still more -important circum stance to the Greeks was their capture .of great quantity of provisions destined fo - r the . garrison of Tripolizza, which the younger : CoLoco ITiON r, who occupied the passes': of Dervenakia, aftcr having united with the- Maniots in the town of Calamata, made him-: self master Qf. The convoy was under the 1,6 chief part of whom escort of 1,200 Arabs, were either killed or taken prisoners. Extracts will.be found is anotiiet tolumn. We received this morning the Austrian Ob server of the 24th ult., but it contains no politi calnews. It appears that the Austrian Commander in Chief, Count DANDOLO, has been busy in his vocation of annoying, the Greeks, whe ther pirate's or not. He has succeeded in recovering possession of four Austrian mer chant vessels which had been captured by some pirates of Spezzia MUNICH. SEPT. 23. Their Majesties the King and Queen of Wurtemberg arrived here this afternoon. swlTzsittA stn.. e 6. The Government of Zurich has commenced its delibera tions on the erection of a suitable church for the Catholic worship. Twenty years ago, when it was granted, the chapel which they had was probably large enough, but at present the number of CatholieS in Zurich is out of all proportion to the accommodation which this chapel affords. It seems that the Ambassadors of the Catholic Cantons to the Diet have applied to the Government on this subject, and no doubt is entertained of a concession which will be suitable to the spirit of toleration which now prevails in Switzerland. FRANKFORT, SIIPT. 28. M. de Nagler; the Prussian Poetmaster-General and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Diet, returned a few days ago from his tour in the Prussian provinces on the Rhine, and is now gone back to Berlin. It appears from this that there was no foundation for the repoit that he was going to negociate with the Government of the Netherlands re specting the navigation of the Rhine. vingrfA, sKrr. 24 The Austrian Observer has a very long account, in 'a letter from Spezzia of the 2d of August, of the reeaptere of four Austrian merchantmen, which had been taken in the Adriatic by pirates of Spezzia j and carried to that island. Count Dandelo, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian squadron in the Levant, having in vain tried amicable re presentations, was obliged to employ force. Count Dan dolo having examined the Captain of one of the ships who came to ask his assistance, and having convinced himself that there were no contraband articles on board, sent two officers to Spezzia to demand that this ship should be given up, as well as three others which he uh l ta y .t a fli s ttitt i ihle n e : c o hap r or m pgr ieo e z d e t fco h us ey linil lrad iaken. The two officers, after a warm debate, could obtain nothing except that the d B ea e u l :oenaitwei consisted d papers e f deal amicable eena oms, oan t h b o a t lt s s h , p a n , d w I p t e a n p e h r e . affair, Count Dandolo put an o ffi cer on s t h la i lmg e e: n t o o oadnt d iop e b E e r or that btthhele-e unless an order from the Government to give up the prises was sent to him he should consider himself authorised to .mploy all the measures which the honour of his flag and the interest of the Austrian commerce plight require. The officers having returned on board the e ilona with out effecting any thing, that vessel, accompanied by th. Vineto brig, sailed the 30th of July, early in the n..`tnirg , from Napoli, and at eight o'clock east anchor off Count Dandolo having convinced himself that all eie reg gels were in the port, he sent three officers on share to de mand that they should be given up, which was refused. Desirous of carrying his forbearance as fer,as passible, Count Dandolo again rent one of his officers on shore to declare that if the ships were not given up within one hour, he should be obliged to employ force. Upon this the pirates sent a messenger to say, they would give up the ships, if the Austrian Commander would give them up a written declaration, that he had demanded the delivery of these vessels, which might serve to excuse them to the Go vernment of Napoli di Romania. This, however, was only an evasion to gain time ; for when the officer brought the declaration, they encouraged the Greek sailors to oppose the delivery of the prizes. The wind having changed, so that the .13enotto could not act without altering its position, the Commander resolved to weigh anchor and return the following day. He wished also to give the Speaziots time for reflection, and to afford a new proof that be was not inclined to use force except at the last extremity. On the following day, the 31st of. July, the Bellona re turned and cast anchor at the entrance of the harbour of Spezzia. After a last fruitless attempt at negotiation, six shots were fired from the Bellona, and eight from the Veneto, and fourteen roc7;ets thrown. In order, however, not to make the innocent suffer with the guilty, the shots were not fired upon the town, but only upon the Greek ships in the harbour ; and in order to do as little damage as possible, the shots' were fired rather high at the intervals of seven seconds. While the Bellow turned, in order if, contrary to expectation, the Spez ziots, should persist in their refusal, to fire a broad side, the people ran in crowds to the port ; a boat was pushed off, and brought the declaration of the pirates, that the ships should he given up, which was immediately done. Count Dandolo then required that part of the cargo which had been landed, should be restored. This too was granted. On the following day (Aug. 1,) every thing was brought on hoard, except a few articles which could not be found, and at four in the afternoon the four Austrian merchantmen put to sea, under convoy of the Veneto. According to accounts from Smyrna, the Vineto had arrived there with the four merchantmen on the 7th of August. The Bellona arrived there the day before. A private Express has arrived, from Paris, bringing Thursday's prices. The 5 per Cents. left off 101 f. 65c. ; 3 per Cents. 71f. 85c. for the end of the month. New Brunswick Papers have been received four days later than our last accounts, and are from St. John's to Aug. 23. A report had been in circulation of some violation of territory committed lately by Americans at Madawaska ; nam e of BAKER, meddling fell o w, i a t n all m ea e r r s ic t an hat aoffinicaenr,ofa t b h u e sy and some others w ho formerl y resided at Fredericktown, had created some cliflicuity with the port, and hav e p erha p s hind ered him in his ,d u ty ; if ,this is the case it must be a per sonal affair, and perhaps on the 4th of July, this BAKER, or some others, may have exhibited s omething in the shape of th e A mer i can fl ag ; but, we are inclined to consider whatever may have taken place as proceeding from im prudent individuals, and not as authorised by either the General Government of the United States, or by the Government of the State of Maine. The state of the question, and the nego ciations pending between the two Governments, forbid the idea that the United States could so far compromise their dignity and good faith as even to connive at such proceedings. The sale of Crpwn lands took place on the 14th Aug., at the market house, Fredricktown, and although this was one of the minor sales, upwards of three thousand acres were disposed of. It is understood the commissioner of Crown lands, will proceed shortly to St. John's and to St. Andrew's, for the pthipose of ascertaining the expediency of selling Crown lands in that quarter. It is ,in contemplation to erect a new church in Fre dericktown, on a superior scale, as it is very ev id e nt the present church affords very little accommodation for the majority of the respectable tradesmen and -their families, and for the poorer classes, to the use of which of 1 the latter a considerable part of the 'few building will ice* appropriated.
