'By circler of the Hunotirahle the Governor in Council, F. WARDEN, Chief Setrftary. -A more serious disturbance has arisen, which the exertions of • the Most Noble the Governor 'General, and the Governor of Bombay, to settle amicably, have •failed to accomplish. Some time its the Month of June last, a Vakeel (or .Ambas dor), from the Sindians, a nation situated on the Indua, was, proceeding to treat with the Go vernnient of Bombay, on some point, and whohad a body of armed men with him ; they were taken to be= marauders, so common in that part of our territories (as a body of men called Cossacs and uSts had just plundered in' the district), and a scuffle - took place, in which the Vakeel. was um -fortunately killed: It was entirely a mistake, as he had 'sent no account of his advance. The llOnourable Mr. Elphinstene lost no time in ex plaining the matter, and the Sindiaos appeared 'to be satisfied ; but with the ; treachery that is their - cliaracteristic . , they invaded Kutch, plun dered a village, _and wrote a most impudent dis patch to the -Government of Bombay. In con sequence of this, a force of 4,000 troops was as= senthled in Kutch, under the command of the 1-16nourable Colonel Lincoln Stanhope. Mr. phinstone, then sent an agent to the Vakeels of the: Emirs of the Sindians, in the hope of an mi .. cable termination, and stated to them the force with' which he was resolved to prevent their further ; but they thought lightly-of our pre parations,- defied our power, and called in the aid 'of 'their neighbouring 'allies, and they stopped all commercial intercourse with the British Go verrunent. • The affair now assumed a serious com plexion. - The SindianS can muster a force of between thirty and forty 'thousand .men, Chiefly - horse, and they threaten us with an invasion by the Baloohies, whose country lies to the West of the Indus, and Who are a ter ror to their neighbours. Lord lfastings ii most anxious to preserve peace. The whole or-the British. territory under his command' had. assum ed the most tranquil and flourishing appearance. Tbe sense of security which the natives enjoy bad' every where given a spur to industry, and cliltiVition was making rapid strides. The Com ptiny's paper was at a premium, and every thing prornised a continuance of prosperity and happi ness before unknown in the Peninsula. Mr. Elphinstone cordially concurred with :the Go viutriOr.-General in the desire of conciliating all ianks of the new countries of which we had gained possession, and it was gratifying. to see the l'indarees 'and retired soldiers eatpioying them selves in cultivating the fields. But it became int pdSaible tamelyto submit to thiswanton aggression, and accordingly an iirmyof 14,000 men is forthwith to he vserribled, and by the " month of October is, ea;pected to be in kutelf..: -The. Commander in Chief is to be - Sir Charles Colville ; G. C. B. and ; the second in command Major-General Lionel. Smith, two • most • gallant Officers, who' possess the entire confidence of the' Bombay army. Such are the particulars which we derived yesterday from different letters received by . oe.ntlernen frotn:Bombay,.

For our own parts, we know not which class of Ad-, dresses is .most disgraceful to . 7.qinisters—that which bravely reprobates, or that which darkly, strives to .excuse them. But, leaving them out of.l.he question, we may ask the motives .And -cause of those Addresses .which-simply express, at this time, that which it is-every one's duty to 1 . 4:0 at all times—loyalty to the King ? Are those ‘4l'se counsels and_prudent measures by which his Majesty. has been reduced to a situation in Which, it becomes necessary, even for those of his .sub pets who :live by- his - Government, to Ohl) se cretly, and thrust out obscurely, declarations of, attachment to his person ?

Surely a system of government which- had rendered• such. declama , tions needless would have been a more strong dication of 'public satisfaction. In the mean time, if a good administration can gain no strength, or has no right to claitn confidence from addresses of that nature of which we have been speaking, a had one may, as it often has done, prolong its existence.by the misconduct of its opponents. Yesterday there was a meeting at Hackney, where Mr. Wooler appeared. To us it is most as tonishing, after the deeided conviction which such men must feel of the disservice done by their very names to the cause of liberty and truth, that they will still obtrude upon public meet !.ings. Nay, indeed, the fact is lieymid all con - tradiction. ." The children of darkness are in -their generation said to. be wiser, than the chil dren of light." -Ministers, who are unable-to do good to the state, know_full well what will hurt themselves : and why, we ask, did they refuse .to purchase the support• or silence of Cobbett, by remitting his -sentence of 'imprisonment, but .that they knew he would be more useful to them as an ,enemv than _as an apparent friend or as a neuter? Most. useful., indeed , ,he .bas' since been to them ; for never has he since risen, by any occasional paper or publication, out of that com parative obscurity into which we tirst_sunk him, but his appearance has immediately and substan tially told to their advantage; If, .such men va lued. liberty at all, they would forego - precarious gains and the indulgence of silly-vanity, to the solid advantage of their country. Most strongly do we deprecate their appearance at public meet ings. -They. on the one side, and - Alinisters . on the other, are really running a race against the honour, happiness, and liberties of the country.; porn ing Post.] There was yesterday. a Meeting at Hackney to consider of the propriety of petitioning for a Parliamentary Reform. It will be remembered -that Mr.. Sheriff. Waithman and his Colleague, some time since, refused to call this - Meeting ; but the Duke of Portland, as Lord Lieutenant of the County, on a Requisition being made to him, thought it right to comply. On this oc casion, Mx. Waithman did not condescend to at tend, even as a freeholder, but Wooler, Mills, and Cartwright were- there as usual. Mr. Peter Moore was in the Chair, and it rta:,t have been a treat to him, as well as to his friends, ;LNl*.,srs. Byng and Whitbread, to hear the sarcasms with which the. 'Whigs were treated 'by Weuler and the rest of their Radical allies. This is amusing enough. The:Whigs have long been tryieg to curry favour with the mob, by pretending to be friendly to Reform, in the confident belief that the Reform called for by the latter would never be obtained. The abuse heaped on Minis ters- by the Thistlewood - or House-breaking Pa triots was very agreeable to the high-minded Whigs, who fancied their game was being very nicely played for them by,these their dirty tools. The-Radicals; however, have ,used the - Whigs for their own purposes, and seem now disposed to tun! them off. Lord G rey was accused of de luding the people with respect to the measure of Parliamentary Reform, and the Whigs were quarrelled with, "not for theie'prineipies, but for having no principle at all."—This was roundly stated—the old Whig, Mr. P. Moore, in the Chair. lie, Of 'cousse, approved' of these senti ments, or doubtless he would have left the room; Mr. Byng was trimming, 'as usual, between his coescience and his timidity. The former inclined him to- express disgust, the latter counselled him to hold Ills tongue. Thus'pulled 'different ways, he could hardly wriggle himself suthciently into favour to get a model ete share of applause. IL told the crowd that Annual: Par liaments and Universal Suffrage were universally objected to, and he J'eininded them, that a motion in their favour on a division had only the two tellers hi its favour. From this some of his au ditory were led to infer that he (l r. Byng) had no objection to such a project of Reform, if it could but be carried. Why did he not . hohestly tdl them that lie had opposed it? Had he given a vote in its favour;the tellers would not have been left alone !

They state that all was tranquil" there, and that the suppression of - the unlicensed - Political Clubs had been approVed of by all the respectable part of the community. A. copy of the Constitution had been placed in the vault of the great gate of Toledo, in Madrid, with much pageantry and ceremony.

Th e prisoner Want addressed the Jury in a long speech, in which he undertook to disprove by . evidence the most important facts that had been sworn on the part of the . prosecutrix.

COLONIAL TIMBER trts.Dt. (Na. III.) The author's observations on this important question, in our second article, linished..by de precating the iniPolicy of withdrawing from the British Shipping Interest the encouragement afforded to it• by ,our - Colonial Timber Trade,. and thus giving the Northern nations of Europe a monopoly of_ the s.lpply of timber, which would he the certain consequence of any .alteration the existing system of this branch of our corn nierce. - We resume our•extracts " I now proceed to showt he interest that we have in pro moting the welfare and prosperity of the North American, Colonies. It has been justly remarked by the Select (om mittee, that ‘ it was not till abort the year 1809, when the country waslikely to lie deprived of a supply of timber front the North of Europe, that the importation of timber-from British North America was actopted,,•as desirable, or as a part of our colonial polio•.' Whether a consideration of the reciprocal interests of the mother country and the Colo nies should have led the British Government to have adopted it. beftire, it may. be tceedless now to discuss ; it is but too true, that all the nations of Europe, and this nation among the. rest, in their co , oniat regulations, have taken too con fined and narrow a vice of their own inlet - 00s, as connected - with their colonies,. and a more striking example of this hind could hardly be produced. than the manner in. which this subject has lately been brought under the notice of Parlia ment : on that subject, lorwever. I shall not enlarge, but en ter on the wore - agreeable task of showing how closely our interests arc blended With theirs; and as they advance in wealth and population, in the sante deer e -must their demand upon One . -- manutaetures and., produce be increased, and our mutual welfare be promoted.
