No Private Letters from the North furnish us with interesting intelligence relative to the proceedings, of the Norwegian Diet. We ob*et•ve with much surprize that there is to be another General Meeting.,in regard to Bonding Goods. 'The attempt thus made by the Merchants to obtain an extended indulgence from his Ma jesty's Ministers, spews with what avidity they . seek for prat, and, how necessary it is for the Governuttnt t'o interfere and protect the Public against their machinations. A referenCe to the Warehousing Act will spew that the.sole penalty incurred by non-payment of the,cluties is to bring the goods to sale; and it_.is this that we have so many meetitrgs... We doubt not, however, that the discussion this subject, has undergone, and to which we may flatter ourselves with travitig in some degree con tributed, will prevent any further concession, and the Public will by that means be enabled to pur chase these commodities at a-reasonable rate, and, as the Treasury Minute expresses • it, ,t‘ in future the System of Warehousing Goods will be carried on with regularity and order." We have inserted a part of a Letter on this sub ject, sent under an appeal to our candour, of which we think we could scarcely offer a stronger proof than we have done by printing so fallacious .and inconclusive a Document. • Mr. CANNING leaves his residence at Gloucester Lodge to-morrow, to proceed On : his voyage to Lisbon. .

The BistwE of LONDON yesterday_at Ke - nsing-- ton confirmed 1025 person s . - The ravages of the plague this year-at : Smyrna have been unusually dreadful. It is stated, that in June frequently upwards of alhousand have been buried in one day; one-third of the inhabi , tants had left their dwellings and the town.. Some compute the number of deaths this year at 50,000; the least computation is 30,000. Smyrna is said to contain from 150 to 180,000 inhabitants. All Asia Minor, Syria, the Islands, &c. experienced this year a similar loss of about one-quarter or one-fifth of the Whole population. The crops of corn, &c. remain ungathered in the fields in many places in the interior, for want of hands ; and se veral towns and villages have been entirely aban cloned. In Smyrna_ the keys of 800 houses have been delivered to the Governor, as many families have been altogether, extirpated, and he Govern ment is heir where there is no very near relation. . It is said, that in consequence of the trader of the conveyance of letter s b e t ween E ur Ope an d In dia to the Post-Office, from the East.lndia-house, a regular establishment of packets has been de termined-on, to sail monthly, with mails and pas sengers, for the three Presidencies, and the inter mediate settlements. • The price of all sorts of fish is intolerably high, except at Billingsgate. A' regulation should be adopted by the Corporation of London to have the price of fish published, according to .the ave rage prices at Billingsgate, in the same inanne: that the prices of butchers' meat, flour, and grain are published. Housekeepers, by suc h m eans , could guard against the extortion practised in dif ferent parts of the town, and would find it their interest to purchase at the original market, which would soon cure the evil. •• - Mrs. JORDAN performed four nights last week at the Leicester Theat re to crowded and fas.hion able houses.

"'That was the vow - which the flames express ed upon the mountains, and with that meek elo quence which surpasses speech, filled the hearts of both old and young with' enthusiasm. Such was the night upon the mountains. It formed a general : Sanctuary, a great Temple of the Nation, in which Nature was the Altar of the Most Holy God, on which a thousand torches flamed to the glory of the Eternal, and to seal the new Alliance . " In the towns and villages the loudness of the joy was contrasted with the solemn silence on the mountains. There was not -a hamlet in all the country that did ".not join in the general joy.— (Frankfol t Post Gazette, Oct. 21.)" NAVAL NEWS.

AMERICAN PRIVATEERS. The Neptune, ARTHOL, - of - this port, was cap .e by the American privatcerAmertia, on the 4tl September, after two hours of a running fit , _ -6- and a close contest of 55 minutes, in wlribh her sails and jigging were literally cut to pieces. The Neptune, with only eight siic-pOunderi, and 18 men, fought desperately, though the privateer had fire nine-pounders and one long twelve on a pivot, and was manned by soventy-five men.— After plundering. the Neptune, she was sent to America. The privateer had previously taken the Ann, of Poole; which was sent to - America, and the Elizabeth, of Biddeford, which she burnt. The Swiftsure, LißsTo.R i thp cI•T the rAnutation ; nnil the Sir Join Sherbroke, from' Newfoundland to Portugal, are taken by American privateers - Crews landed at Viana. - It will be recollected that the Harmony, of this port., was taken on the 20th August, by ,the Prince of Neufchatel American privateer, and. continued in her posseasiOn for four days, when ,she was retaken by the Brisk sldop of %var. The passengers were all allowed to remain on board the Harmony, and represented the conduct of the Americans to have been very handsome to them. —The following instance, however, of .wanton cruelty, which we have seen from one of the pas sengers, entirely does away the favourable opinion which we had previotisly formed of their conduct : The next morning - after the Harmony was cap tured, when the priVateer and her prize were - bearing out of the Irish .Channel, both of them having, the British flag flying, they were met by smother.-brig, into which the privateer, without any previous hailing, poured a broadside, and then left her to her fate,, though obviously in, a most dangerous state. Some of the 'privateer's men who came on hoard the . Harmony in the evening, said, that from their mast head they had seen the vessel go down—which we think ex ,tremely.probable, as we know of no vess e l h av i ng -arrived in a British port .that was fired into in this manner.- 7 ( Greenock Advertiser, Oct. 25.) • PUONAPAgTE.-NAYOLEON sees the EngHA less frequently than he used, he is likewise more in accessible• than formerly. .For some time past he bas 'caused considerable works to be executed in the iron mines of Rio; . and has' ordered a great road to be constructed between Porto-Ferrajo and Porto Longone, •at which 3000 workmen are employed this fine road will speedily be finished and will form a communication between the two principal ports of this island. He constantly su perintends these works himself.. He -is frequently observed to wander thoughtfully along the shore, and sometimes for more than half an hour amuses himself by throwing little stones, so as to make ducks and drakes along the surface of the water ; at- other times he shuts himself up for whole days in his cabinet, and assumes a severe atpect to wards every one. Two Polish Lancers, who wished to, return to their .native country on fami ly affairs, obtained an audience of leave from him, besides being presented with a military badge and three francs per day for. travelling expences.— Lieut. TAL—, one of our Admirals, has married a beautiful and wealthy young, Lady of Porto Lon gone ; but most of those who remain at Porto Ferrajo are getting tired of their master.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SYDNEY COVE, DATED MAY 28, 1814. • " We have met' with ; very great losses lately, inconsequence of the very bad seasons last year. There was not. for nearly ten months, two honr6i hill'. A vast number of cattle were starved ro death, and if rain had not 'at last come, in two months there would not have been one nnimal alive of any kind in the country. Besides this mortality among the cattle, there' were not three bushels of wheat t 6 the acre all over the settl&- ment. But the cattle did not merely die for want of food arising from the season, but from the practice of the Natives/ .who set fire to the grass, which soon spread the flame, Its ir-cVas so dry for want of rain, and th fire run Over tlie country in all directions with great rapidity. NAtives catch their Mangories, upon which they chiefly subsist,.. by setting tire 'to the grass round the bushes, and the Mangories, seeing the fire around them, run from 'their holes, and are eusily caught. You will hear with pleasure, "on the other hand, that the ridge of Mountains, called the-Blue Mountains, which formed the bounda . 'The ries on the West'aud North, which none had pass ed to observe the Country beyond them have been lately passed by three Gentleme!l; a Mr: •WENTWORTI-1, Mr, BLAXLAN°D, and Mr.LASON, who have found the country to be the in beau . tiful and fertile that can well be conceived. The Governor, in consequence of this discovery, in •tends, to have a road made over these mountains, in order to form a settlement there without delay. A - Surveyor has- been sent for that purpose, and many persons accompanied the mission, exploring the country upwards of one hundred and . fifty miles, who all concur in bestowing the highest praises upon its beautiful appearance, and the fe.: cundity oi the soiL The open country appears to, be very well, watered. They saw a •fine river which seemed to extend through the.whole, as far as the 'eye - could reach. It ;s deemed a discos-cry of the utmost imptirtatice, ftir when it is properly cultivated - :we may hope then for •abundance.--- , The Governori has allotted a thousand acres to each of the Gentlemen who first ventured to pass the mountains, which they welt deserve for their zeal; intrepidity, .and. perseverance. °flier adven turers are also to be rewarded in proportion to their efforts. • • " . .What renders this discovery and territorial acquisition of ,such great importance, is the con sideration that all the eland on this side of the mountains -would soon .have been in cultivation, but which would by no tnearis•have been su►ficieirt for the Wants of a COlony, almost daily augment ing in population."

ANTI - ATTRITION.--T wo Hundred and Fifty Pounds worth of the Royal Patent Anti-Attrition, which is sold at No. 40, Charing=cross, is, on a Ship's Bottom More than equal to Seventeen Hundred Pounds worth of Copper, as - it most etleetually preserves the Planks from the worm, and neither barnacles or weeds will adhere to wood when primed with the Anti-Attrition, which also gives a Ship a better sailing-bottom than copper. The Public may easily satisfy themselve.3 of the fact by making the first trial on one plank only. • '
