An interesting point of the Debate in the House of Lords, last night, related to the case of the VANISES, ho, according to the account which Lord DONOUGHMORS had received, had been treated with great rigour. This account was cotnrletely r..futed by Lord SIDMOUTH, who stated that they had received all the indulgence 'which their situation adMitted ;—a statement which afforded satisfaction to the House, but xvhich indeed was no more than could be expect ed, _wherever the vigilance and humanity of the :Noble Viscount can be exercised consistently with ti e ends of justice and the safety of the State.— ti,ionilar reports were in circulation respecting the treatment which WATSON experienced in the 'lower, where he received all possible indulgence, for which he expressed his gratitude in a letter to the Noble Lord on his liberation. We know, besides, that . WATSON received private acts of kindness in the Tower, in the loan of books, re— freshments, &c , for which be testifier) warm ac knowledgments, before and after his discharge. We received last ni^ht the Paris Papers of Fri day last, and this morning those of Saturday.— 'hey mention another fall in the price of grain. At Strasburg!) it had fallen from 106 to 54 francs, and was expected to he at 30 ; Bordeaux it had declined to 30 francs ; at Marseilles and other towns in the Sot h the price was 29 ; in some other (wavers 27 francs the hectolitre.—The vines, it is also stated, present the fiiiest appear- &nce.

" WURTEMBERG, JUNE 19.—The reclamations avzains! the d,-ision of the majority of the lei e Stares, become every day more frequent. The, new Provinces insist upon the introduction of the institutions granted to them by the benevolence of bis Majesty in his projet of Constitution. The old Provinces, on the contrary, have hitherto maintained on this subject a profound silence.

" NEW YORK, JUNE 4.—The Mayor of Sa vannah has issued a Proclamation, directing that all vessels coming from Havannah, or the Islands of larbadocs and St. Thomas, be brought to at Fort Jackson, there to be examined by the Health Officer. This measure is adopted in consequence Of the unusual sickness prevailing in those places' COMMODORE TIIOMAS TAYLOR TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF HAYTI, Sin,-111 consequence of the seizure, deten tion, and condemnation of some of the Buenos Ayres Government cruisers and their prizes, (tvl,, l i c h have entered your ports in conformity to the faith placed in the Government of Hayti as a sister republic, sanctioned by a positive ar rangement made with yourself .as President thereof) I have thought proper, as the Repre sentative of the Buenos Ayres Governnient, to detain and sent bark to Port-au-Prince the Hay. -tiara ship St. Joseph, W. PIERHET master, bound for New York. This act will sufficiently indicate to the Government of Hayti my determination to Wye and insist on satisfactory redress for the out , rage committed on the Republican flag of Buenos Ayres, in the seizures named in the first part of this communication. The Spanish sailors found on board the St. Joseph I have detained as pri -toners of war. Unless immediate and complete satisfaction be given for the outrage, all vessels ~tvlratever, bearing, the Haytian flug, as also any pit thin.,r,rtpo!y e concirlo?tri as gn , ,fr ,nrl lawful vn:•.es ty gny of the linentA Aytrai.

In the mean time, the squadron will detain all Ilaytlan vesse!s they may fall in with. They will, how ever, be given up on receiving from you a satis factory answer. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your Excel lency's most obedient servant. (Signed) " THOMAS TAYLOR, " Commodore of the• Flying Squadron of Buenos Ayres. " Dated on hoard the Buenos Ayres Go vernment brig of war El Pat tiota. off Cape Nit:huh - Mole, Ap: - 11 23, 1817." (From the Commercial ,Idrert iser of June 3.) " The Patriotic General MINA is said to have sailed from Galveston, with a considerable expe dition, and arrived off Tempien, which place he intended to attack. He was well provided with cannon and ammunition, and effected a landing in the vicinity of the town without opposition. We had succeeded in fortifying his position, which would afford a safe harbour and protection of his shipping, or cover his retreat and re-embarkation, it he should he unsuccessful, of which, however, there was no apprehension, as his means were considered to be fully adequate to the reduction and occupancy of the place." By the arrival from America this morning, we have received a letter from - Boston, dated Monday, June 2, at Noon, which contains the following me lancholy intelligence:--The Canton packet, lying in our harbour, has had her stern bl►►wn off with powder; she is now ()H&c, and should it not be ex , tinguished before it reaches her magazine she will be blown to atoms. She was repairing to sail for Canton, and had on board 300,000 dollars in specie. We feel great pleasure in drawing the attention of our Readers to the SIXTH REPORT of the Select Committee of Finance, as it is calculated to raise the spirits of those who wish well to the Country and its gallant Defenders. This Report wholly relates to the Naval Service, and the Public will be happy in learning that " the Hospital and Chest of Greenwich, notwithstanding the immense claims that have been made on them, have been able to accumulate a capital of not less than 3,760,0001. in the 3 per Cents. : and, by the way, this leads us to a remark on the nature of our public Funds which we have seldom seen adverted 4 to. It is, that no inconsiderable .proportion , of what is called the National Debt is the property of charitable foundations like the one in question, and instead of going to support the Rich at the expence of the Poor, which is falsely represented by the seditious writers to be the exclusive desti nation of the interest of the Public Debt, those Dividends in the present case go to support a most meritorious class of the Poor, and are supported by Taxes of which the greatest proportion is con tributed by the Rich."—ln addition to the above gratifying statement we have the pleasure to find that, by the REGISTRY OF SEAMEN, a measure adopted in the year 1814, the efficacy of which will of course render it a permanent system, the Greenwich Books spew that there are nearly 15,000 men always ready for effective service, and a considerable number besides who might be ren dered highly useful in the defence of our shores or other public duties. OtAIT The Leeds Mercury, (a Reforming Journal of the modern school), continues its ,mis representations against OLIVER, though they were so entirely refuted by Mr. ADDINGTON in the House of Commons, and now attempts to prop those misrepresentations, alledging that a letter was written by OLIVER while he was in London, addressed to one of his -dupes at Leeds, which would fully have developed his villainy ; hut, alas! this letter has been " unfortunately destroyed."--. Mr. MEncnty, of Leeds, must suppose that the people in general are greater dupes than those at Leeds whom be mentions, if he conceives that they will he imposed upon by so shallow an arti fice, and will recollect the adage, " dead men tell no,tales." We are sorry to state, that the Right Hon. G. PONSONBY was suddenly attacked by an apo plectic fit while in the House of Commons about twelve o'clock last iiight. The Right Hon. Gen tletan bad shortly before spoken on the Irish Election Bill. The attack was for the time such as to deprive him of speech and motion. The HonSe having immediately adjourned, medical aid was sent fot, and Mr. P. was carried by several of the Members present into the SPEAKER'S Se cretary'S room. A medical Gentleman, Mr. WHITE, who arrived, took a considerable quantity of blood and used other restorative means, with success. In a short time Mr. PONSONBY Was able to speak, and he was removed in the SPEAI:ER's chariot to his house in Curzon-street. Earl GREY, who had been sent for, accompanied him The Right Hon. Gentletiran, Vve understand, is out of clanger. i i ti Y. f;r:‘llS PORDEN., 'l•Keet: blew the sleety gaits, the scene was dr - ear; One sheet of . ;slsitf.s this hills and plains orpear, Vast blacks of ice obstruct the rapid floods, ;tad hills of Stow comical the sable woods. Nor bird, nor beast, nor living thing, was seen, for flower, nor frnit, nor blade of herbage greets : All Nature kniw the appointed time of rest, And shelter'd slept on Earth's maternal breast. Man's heart alone no change of season knowa; And proud Anibition stoops not to repose. The Tyrant's troops, regardless of the blast, Blacken with countless honks the Silvery waste. High on his Tartar steed the Conqueror rude, And led his myriads o'er the frozen flood. When lo ! amid A realist of subject snows, In awful pride, gigantic Winter rose. His hand, with arrows filled, was lifted high; A ghastly gleam Was in his frozen eye ; Like some vast mountain his stupendous form; His toice the howling of the Alpine storm, It lack'd the melody of living breath, And chill'd the spirit, as the voice of death, 6' Behold the mighty Conqueror, who defies, " Not man alone, but these inclement skies, " But through the air my dreadful warriors ride, ." Nor fawn the elements,. to soothe thy pride " Round thy warm limbs my icy robe I cast, . " Igive thee to the snow, the hail, the blast. " Yon hill—the Spirit of the Storm is there, " And bids thee, Tyrant ! stop thy rash career ! " No longer shalt tlicnt wrap the world in flame !, " Art thou a Spirit of I, 7 engeance ? I, the same! " Slaves to subdue, we use our power alike— " When baneful stars In dire conjunction strike, " How terrible their force ! But on ! Be bold ! " Make Earth's best regions desolate and cold "'Then, in the impotence of fury, pine • , "To find at length thy blasts less keen than mine " If thou canst glory in unnumber'd bands, •' That waste, destroy, o'erwhelat the fairest lands; With heavenly aid my storms as widely sweep, i"Fhy lance is keen, my arrow strikes as deep ! " And on thy head, by Him that governs all, " The deadliest venom of my wrath shall ; 6 6 Not all thy fires, thyself, thine bust, shall safe " FrOM the cold sleep, the tempest's icy grave." Author of 'lnv VEILS, a Work remarkably distinguished by the union of Science and Poetry, to which we mean shortly to draw the atteution•of out Readcrs. t The ahore Poem was suggested by the following historical fact.—Tistouit, or "I'AmtnmANE, the Conqueror of Russia, Hindustan, Persia, Egypt, Syria, and. Turkey, unsated with conquest, at the age of seventy-one assembled an immense army for the purpose of invading China. This Empire bad formerly been subject to CaiLSGUIs, from whom Tbtoutt loved to trace his descent ; and he declared that he telt it to be his duty to re establish the Tartar power, and expel Idolatry from a country which had formed part of the dominions of his great ancestor. He commenced his march in the depth of winter, and passed the Jaxartes on the ice, but illness stopped him at Otrar, and his forces were soon deprived of their Leader. Timm.; it's INstrroTcs, composed under his own di rection, give a nattering picture of his achievements ; but his Life was written With all the virulence of hatred by an Ara bian Author, Aum cn-BEN-A RARSHAII ; and the above Poem is partly a versification of a passage touted in Sir JoIIN MAL coLm's History of Persia, which strikingly applies to a mo dern memorable invasion, and its result. The iwitation commences here. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, WESTMINSTER-lIRIDGE. On INfonday evening a new Piece, called Lowina of 1'0)0$/col ; or, The Fatal Snow Storm, was brought out at this place, which for novelty of incident, picturesque views, and splendour of dresses, exceeded every former productiln. This piece is particularly interesting, ond the plot keeps the audience in continual anxiety for the fate of the hero and heroine.—The acting of GomEnsar. as the former, and . Miss ADAMS in the latter, gave an interest to the whole, and they repeatedly and deservedly received the marked approbation of the company.—The assemblage of nobility and gentry, with the juvenile parts of their family, gave the house a most splendid and brilliant appearance, which was crowded to excess. When the piece was announced for a second representation, three distinct cheers signified tl►e approbation of the audience. BOXING. ROBINSON THB BLACK, AND FANGIL.—A Se vere battle was fought on Wednesday last, near She Dock, in Ayrshire, between Robirison and a Highlander of the name of Fangil, a brave young. man, who had served in the late campaigns in one of the Scots regiments. Our Correspondent states, that the Highlander challenged the Black at a whiskey-house, and they fought for 2/. and a subscription amongst about 200 persons. He describes, the battle as follows :—The Highlander was hit about smartly in the first round, and Ro binson, though the.- heaviest man, broke his ground ; but he was. rushed upon, and hit down. The 2d, 3d, and 4th rounds were much in favour of the Black, but he nevertheless received some hard bloWs. In the Bth round the Black received a blow under the ear, as awkward as it 'vas forci ble; and he fought four other rounds very disad vantageously before he recovered himself sutti ciently to measure his length. lie led again in the 14th round, which was manfully maintained for three minutes, when Faugil was knocked down, and his lights queer. Robinson went to work, avoiding closing, and fiaished his adver sary in the . 18th round, after fighting 42 mi nutes. A boy of one of the public schools had, fOr some n►isdemeantour, been sentenced to write an impromptu upon Queen Elilaheth's motto, Nihil Desperandum. Upon a slight consid&ration, lie drew up the following : Nccsr despair, my father said, • Who once was bald upon his I►ead : • But upon that barren soil, By use of Rowlatas Macassar Tie rairi'd a mighty crop of Hair : Nil Desperandum—Neer despair. LADY DEIWY'S JEWELLS.—It is somewhat curi ous that there is no truth in the stol7 of the loss of these jewels, which seems to have been h senseless Hoax. KEAN is now in Dublin, where he is engaged to perform twelve nights, for which it is under stood he is to receive one thousand pounds add a dear btuefit.—(Morning Paper) 'AC' We are desired by a Gentleman well known to the Public, to State the following circtanstitwe which Occurred on Saturday evening in St.Jatnes's Park Gentleman allucled to was examin ing the IVaterioo Gtin recently plAced there, and while he was thus engaged; two men app him, and entered into conversation, asking what . good could result front placing such things in such a situation. He observed, that they Were tro phies of national valour, and commemorated all atchievenient whiCh had delivered all Europe from oppression, and conferred immortal honour on Gieat Britain, whose perseverance alone had led to so important and glorious a teStilt. The men imniediately began to thin ail he said into ridicule, to complain of all wars, to revile Go vernment, arid to hint that nothing but a Revdltt= lion could render the Natinn happy. All seditious jargon was, however, delivered with such cautious terms, and rather allusively thati direct; that after giVitig.. them a suitable and warm ad monition, he left thew. Struck, however, with what they said, and With their manner, he thought proper to remain near the Spot, and to Observe their condttpt. He saw them proceed co the Egyptian Gun, and enter into conversation %vita the Centinel; whO in a few moments directed his bayonet to them, and t'vey thought proper to move off.—The Gentleman went to the centinel , and found that they were beginning to endeavoui: to n►ake him discontented with his station,' but he put an end at once to their insidious incitewents, by the powerful arginnent of his weapon.—We have no doubt that these Apostles of Anarchy, are in various places acting in the same man ner, and are only to be checked by the Act which was last bight so happily renewed irt the House of LordS. circumstance hap.;. pened about seven in the evening of Satur day last, rind we mention the time, because we conceive that the Centinel on duty deserves some notice for his prompt and loyal opposition to the artifices of Sedition and Rebellion. The Gen:. tleman Who communicated this fact to us is too wise to be deceived by appearances, and too re;* spectable to state any matter, coining within hii own observation and knowledge, in which the Public may not place implicit confidence.
