s. IS L ) OF C 4.1"1,811V. Ina ()flowing-Letter from Columba, dared the 29:h of January last.- contains the' substance of the Proclamation issued by the hliin. Mr._Noa ria, on the breaking out of the dispute avithAbe sa‘;atives. Every proposition to coneiliate,has been, made to the Court of Candy, and has been, traared with dis. dais, which deafly proved the intention of that Court.ta avoid any stableor reasonalle aaraagement. Ataqati'aft O f violencewas therefore committed in the'inuia'ill'aof March and April, against inhabitants of Columbia which caused our Gov eminent to complain, and demand satisfaction. Certain Merchants of Pate. lam, who had, under the faith of ;treaties, purchased at a fair market in the Candian territories, Areka. Nut, to the quantity of two hundred and ninety-two Ammonams, were despoiled of it forcibly by a person in authority under the Canals!) Government anCalca. nacooly. Although so flagrant au outrage entitles! us to make reprisals on the property of the subjeds of the king of Candy within our Government, we abstained from any such measure, and even delayed making any teitionstaince,• till after a serious and minute inVestigatiOn of the case. We arc assured that the fad was true, and that the Putelam Merchants had not brought it on by any improper behaviour or disteapea to the laws of Candy, or the-persons in authority there. His Excellency Mr, NORTH. hereupon forwarded a remonstrance to the Candian Governmen t , stating the ease as it happened. To'this remOnstrance an answer was returned early in the . imankaitOdobt:r; aeknowledging the truth of our statement, and the justice of our complaint, land promising immediate• reparation by the resti. tution of the. Areka.Nut which had been seized, to th e persons to whom it belonged, Althoughwe had a clear and positive tight to intiat on the delivery of the said Areka.Nut to the injured parties at Putelam, a t t h e exn e nee of the ing of Cat - kV; we, for the sake of peace, waived that right, and the Pu. realm Marchants returned in consequence thereof to Cakallacooly. At that place they remained 35 days withoutia. titfaaion, Led were at last sent away With a declaaa ration, that " if the season should prove favouaniale, - and they would return in January, they would ceive a quantity of Ateka..Not,equanto that of which they had been despoiled." We received, at the same time, a letter from the Court, informing us that the ArekaaNunin question had been sold, but that an repialiquantity should be given to the 'sufferers in the cuurbitiof:one or two months. This conciliatory pro.' position has, on the 24,115 of January, been refused bY the first Adigaarc of Candy; and another attempt made to delay the necessary reparatien of the-out. rage committed on our people, until the time for valve. : operation in the field 'should' be past. In the mean time preparatiopaand assemblies of a me. racing appearance have•been'faited in various places on the Candian - Ftoiltier a and' ids of apparent hostility, which tite tylinistei of Candy has not scrupled to avow, oti prelencea wholly unfounded. Under theeircutristancess of aggravated injury and insult, we have determined to send Troops into the Candian Territories, to enforce our juts claim to full indeMnifieation for the expence to which our vermeil( has bean put by the iniquity of the Court Of Candy, ant to ex ad sufficient security against the repetition of similar outrage. In this view we ,have submitted to his Candian Majesty articles of accommodation, so mcderate-fn their aajeat, and so beneficial in tlieir principle, that it is presumed he will immediately agree to them, as well for the security of his own person and dignity, ate for the tranquillity and happiness of his Subject,. .In the mean time stria orders have been given, that the most exact discipline be observed by the . I British troops in the Candian territories ; that the temples, priests, and religion of the inhabitants be reipetted ; and that the persons and poverty' of all not employed in arms against the" Bri. tish iloole, be pr, to that all supplies which an iy be furnished be regularly paid for ; o and that ‘l!N)tder be allotted.

Mr.' Davison, accompanied by Mr. 'Stockdale, jun. came upon the groiMilsoon at ter six o'clock ; when the latter Gentleman stepping forward, addressed the Corps, as nearly as we can recoiled, in the following words : . " Gentlemen, unused as I am to speak in public', I'dO not hesitate to avow that I feel a particular pleasure in addressing you on the present occasion, when I shall have the honour of introducing as your Commonding Officer a Gentleman in every respell qualified for any situation in which he may be placed. We now meet in a very critical moment, and many consideration, make it of the • greatest importance, not only to the Corps, but also tp the Country, that the utmost prudence should mark the first ontlud of this body. It is even far from possible that your ready zeal may have its influence upon the great Continental Tiger himself, who, Sensible of his voracious devastation, may shrink at Oe• aid , ur which the generous bosoms of English. men display • in'the service of their Country, It Will at all events serve to remind him that the Bri. iish Lion, reposing from his toilsome laboorsi if he Slumber, slumbers with his eyes always open, his attention always awake to the welfare of his sub. jeds. Gentlemen, we are perhaps called upon to he more circumwed, in ,our resolutions than any other Volunteers in 010 Kingdom ; because we have very properly stepped forward to shew a great example to the rest ; because we are a L'lyal, I had almoit said a Royal Corps, for the services of this Corps were accepted at •a time when a retludion was mak. ing in the numbers of others and I can distinguish, I do repeat, with the most sincere, the most heart. •felt satisladion, that I can distinguish in every surrounding countenance, a fixed determination to give to Royalty, for such a high mark of fa- Your, correspondent suifport.---Gentlemen, we has , , e no longer to contend against probable, but against positive consequences; against principles and against powers which have been liund equally subver. sive of order, virtue, religion, morality, liberty and happiness: which have overturned States, dissolved Empires, ruined Kingdoms, and shaken the thrones •of'ings to the very foundation, hurling the sacred tenants frOm the highest pinnacles of human magni. fthence and greatness to the abjea consummation of the acaffold. And what obstacles can now stand . :in the way of such tremendous evils ? England ;and England alone. The arch Usurper, the sari• guinary despot of Europe, has discovered it. He has said, that England can only be conquered in England ; and if we look to his aft,, the delusive moments o f a tr • even during transitory Peace, they must convince t h e veriest casuist of his intentions. Commercial A gents , quiet, demure, qnaker.looking men, in plain brown coats and broad brimmed hats, were sent to gull the inhabitants by - their dress, while they got the information and took the neces. sary plans to insure our destrudion, at whatever ' hour it might be convenient to France to make the . attempt. That-hour has been most wisely accele. rated, though somewhat earlier indeed than suited the view; of our neighbour. ' 4 Gentlemen, we are now at a crisis which all human affairs are liable to attain at one time or 1. other, and we shall greatly rise, or, I hope, nobly fall. At a crisis when we must tight fur our hearths ' and for our altars, to keep inviolate our dearests interests, and more than our existence, our honour, we meet to receive an Officer in whom we can con. fide. We cannot, I admit, be too circum.peso. Woo the subjed, generaVy, of out Officer;, I shall beg to add a frw words. You are ail, all honourable men,. therefore on this head no doubts Can Mite; but, Gentleme n , y our attent i on must b e direded towards those only woo unite the will to the means, and time m eans to t h e. will ; towards those, in short, who, combining authoritative firm ness with suavity of manners, will giire up, I shall not call it sacrifice their time, to the duties of their station, and who can do it without injury td their dome!itic concerns. Such are the proper objects, - arid on such only I doubt nor that your choice will fall. , t With respect to the particular Gentleman, whose name, I doubt not, you all anticipate, whom I shall now have the pleasure to mention, ALEX ANDER DAVISON, E,q. of St. James's Square, no' eulogiinn of mine, no language in my power to •crinvey, will, I am sure, lake his charade, either hi the opinion of those I now with so much s a t istaCtionoiddress, or in that of the Public. In speaking to this point, I am indeed totally at a loss, such a cro.vd of ideas obtrude themselves 'upon my mind. As to public spirit, he possesses that of his inestimable friend the gallant NE Lso sr, on shore; and his private spirit •s that of a Prince, ntigni. ficent in his gifts, but greater and more magnifi cent in his promptitude of conferring them. Of this.l shall selett one proof which hwnediately rglers to you. On the'. Plan of this Corps being submitted to him, he instantly, with an alacrity which would do honour to any rank in life, even to that of Royalty itself, laid down the auto of Five Hundred Pounds towards forwarding its completion, at the same tune adding, that he, should beg to zip. ptopriate the same sum, annually, to promote this deaitable objed. This, Gentlemen, is the ad of a private Indiiiidual, but it is the eel of a Lovat. Barron. Led on by such a, spirit,' we may well say, This England never shall Lira at the proud Foot of a Conqueror.- - ,Come the three Corners of the World so arms And we shall shock, 'neut.—Nought shall make us rue, 11 England to itSelldo rest but true. Gentlemen, having expressed my thanks for the patient hearing which you have given my long tres pass upon your time, Ishall now move, " That ALEXANDER DAVISON be requested to accept the Colonelcy of this Corps." A burst of applause from every individual con. firmed theßesolution, and after Mr. Dm/ow:Owl' thanked the Meeting for the honour so unanimously conferred upon him, a. Committee for General Pur. rose s was appointed, anti Messrs. DAVIsoN and STocKPALK• junr. them, retired together, amidst the loud and hearty cheers of the whole Assembly, • who were also joined in it by the spectators, who lined the walls, windows, &c. &c. of the-surround— ing buildings. • EPINB:112;.;11, Ss r. 7 1 111S,forrnoon pasted throt glt the City, a r3rty of the Flying .

On Saturday last the Royal Mid-Lothian Art ilk. ry, 'commanded by 11/1..j0r BROWN, paraded in ft l uniform on the Castle HJI, whence they marched rwith eight guns to Burtltsfield Links. After going through a variety of marnatuvres, in a very correct manner, the Corps fired a Royal &duce, of zr guns, when they marched to the Castle ilill, anti were there dismissed. His Excellency Gen. Vy SE, the LORD PROVOST, and keveral other persons of dis. tinttion were present. It is, we understand, in agitation, to convert the Palaces of Linlithgow and Falkland, Craibltaillar castle, and Qteensberry.house, in Canongate, into receptacles fur Prisoners of War. 1/ To what base uses may we not return I"—It is grating to the feelings of'a Scotchman to see the ancient abodes of his Monarchs converted into 41 den of th eves.“ Linlithgow was the birth place of MARY, and Craigmillar her favourite residence.

We Onderitand the Town 'Council have agreed to grant the Ministers of this City an increase of 601. per annum to their stipends, to commence front Lammas 1802. Their whole annual stipend is now 2601. There are seventeen Clergymen upon the Establishment . of the City of Edinburgh. The amoimt of their stipends formetly was 3+ool. It will now amount ro 4+201. On Friday last, about two o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. PAXTON at Dunse, communicated by some sparks from a neigh. pouring brew-house, which unfortunately spread to four or five others before it could he stow. We are sorry to add, one person was severely hurt by a fall from a house, and others considerably scorched. On Friday 'sennight was held the 'first of the two Fairs of Dundee. The shew of black cattle and horses was not so great as is often . seen at that market. The dealers were shy and averse to pur chase. Only a few lots in prime condition went off and the prices were so 4. sterling a head lower than at one period of the season. The Tragedy of Macbeth was performed at the Liverpool Theatre, -on Saturday evening, by Ofd. cers of the Navy, Army, and Gentlemen of that town, in aid of the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's : the performance was attended by a brilliant crowd of fashion, beauty, and elegance. Whilst the Dtrmit of 'lonic was reviewing the Troops and Yeomanry in Essex, it being very wet, a lad offered His Royal Highness an umbrella, which he refused, remarking, " that Soldiers ought to stand all weathers." His Royal tlighness, howe ier, very liberally made the boy a present of a guinea.
