" Ere we remark another's sin,

Sill—Wen knowing the liberality and respectability of your
Paper, I am induced to notice a pant:Mph inserted in it ou the 3d
January inst. headed " Marin Foote."
During the time between obtaining a rule foe a new trial, in the
cause of Hiss Foote and Mr. Ilayne, and the actual time of getting
one, it is the height of injustice to attempt to bias .the mind of tle
public on either aide. That ouch wat.tlle case by your extract from
the Examiner must be allowed by every unprejudiced reader ; but
the glaring attack could be equalled by nothing but the folly of it,
in holding forth Miss Foote's family to the contempt of the world.
I am totally unacquainted with Miss Foote and the whole of her
family, but I know, alas ! too well. that let Mrs. and Mr. Foote.
the mother and father of this unfortunate lady, be as representof
(which I much doubt), it cannot surpass in that respect the well.
known character of Mr. ('—r (sen.)
The writer is not fearful of his name appearing, should am
menilmr of the C—.r family take upon themselves a refutation
this.

re have the satisfaction to announce the safe return to this port,

to discover some eligible spot for the formation of a new set-
sent ; and, although we are not at present acquainted with the
dealers of Mr. Hobbs' remarks on the advantages attachable to
portion of the hitherto-unknown coast, which he so laudably
traversed ; yet, even now new, we may congratulate the public
a discovery of very considerable import, viz. that of a superior
I strata at the South Cape. This excursion was, sa well as
tht be expected, attended with much danger, privation, and
ficulty. It is Mr. Hobbs' intention to proceed immediately for
rie specimens of the war ; and we certainly think his discovery
I be found of very extensive value, as not only is fire-wood be-
lling scarce in town, but coal would realise a decided preference,
lush employment to our numerous sma'l craft (a large proportion
which is at present inactive,) and rove an article of beneficial

more of the 14 bush-rangers, who, it may be remembered, mai eel
ne weeks ago from Macquarie harbour ; and with inereated
awe we are enables' to state, that one of the two is James Craw.
d, their no.trious leader. The following particulars of this im-
am occurrence we derive from unquestionable authority :

W. and loading three of lwr servants with their booty, Pert7P-
ily ordered diem to walk before on the road to Mr. Taylor s re-
ace, at the Penny-royal Creek. lln their way there, they fell
with one of Mr. Taylor's sons, who was grazing sheep, and
not, after loading him with their baggage, they compelled to
vetic them to his father's. In the interim, their movements
ring been observed by that gentleman, he very prudently armed
family and domestics, to act on the defensive. When his son

in Mr. Taylor's anxiety to avoid injuring his son, the ruffians
re allowed to go close to the house, when one of the domestics
id. the son disengaged himself, and joined his father's party ;
ier firing took place, and a general Conflict followed. Soon after
I. one of the villains levelled his piece at Mr. Taylor's head, but
a prevented from effecting his murderous design by the son. who
ippled him by the throat, and threw him; alien one of the set-
shot him in the breast, but without inflicting a dangerous
4lrd, as his clothing was remarkably thick. This fallen bri-
ad was :hr Imiler, to whose assistance another of the gang 'm-

tt may be proper for me to state, Oats , whilst Mr. Canning, in
the interview I had with him on thetas of Auguat...was assigning
the reasons of thin Government, ai they will now be seen in his
ante, for not acceding to the treaty. took occasion to remark, that
Great Britain would be willing to gire to the omitted words a mean-
ing that would restrict their operation to the southern portion of
North America, as proximate to the British West Indies. exclud-
ing the range of coast which comprehended the middle and northern
states, if I thought that such a plan would be acceprahle to my Go-

such a proposition. u objectionable 'soder every view. He replied,
that, having no other object in making the intimation than that of
preventing the treaty from falling through, and not knowhig him-
self in what light it might be received, he had of course nothing
:non to say, after learning from me that it would be objectionable.
I avail myself of this opportunity to forward to you a cdpy of

your communication of the 29th of May.

RICHARD RUSH.
The Hon. John Quincy Adams; Secretary of State.

GWOMOZ C•WZIAG TO MR. MUSA.
Foreign ()dke, Aug. 27, 11)24.
Six—ln pursuance of what I stated to you in our late confer-
ence, I have now the honour to address you on the subject of the
qualified ratification, on the part of your Government, of the
treaty foe the more effectual suppression of the slave trade, which
was concluded and signed in the month of March bat, by you and
his Mejesty's Plenipotentiaries.
His filajestv's Government have given tht most enxidus and de-
liberate consideration to this subject, and if the result tff that con.
sideration has been to decide that they cannot advise h!fi Majesty
to accept the American ratification (notwithstanding the argil.
!toots alleged by you, in the name of your (iovernthent, in favour
of such acceptance). I entreat you to believe it is riot from any
' diminished sense of the importance of the matter to which that
treaty relates.
Nor do thiy underrate the desire which, as you have
assured me, and as thermally believe, wait felt by the President of
the United Stun, to adopt the provisiona of the treaty, such as it
was transmitted to America. But the result is not the less incon-
venient. '• " •...
A treaty, of which the base watt laid in propositions framed by
the American Government, was considered here as so little likely
to be made a subject of renewed discussion In America, that not
• moment was lent in ratifying it, on the past of his Majesty ; and
his Majesty's ratification was ready to be exchanged against that
of the United States when the treaty came back ; not as it had
been sent to America ; but with material variations—variations
not confined to those stipulations, or parts of stipulations, which
had been engrafted upon the original project, but extending to
that part of the original projeet itself which had passed unchanged
through the negotiation.
The knowledge that the Constitution of the United States ren-
ders all their diplomatic compacts liable to this sort of revision,
undoubtedly precludes the possibility of taking exceptions at any
particular instance in which that revision is nernsed ; but the
repetition of such instances does not serve to reconcile to the practice
the feelings of the other contracting party, whose solemn ratification
Is thus rendered of no avail, and whose conceisions in negotiation
having been made (as all such concessions must be understood to
be made) conditionally, are thus accepted as positive and absolute,
while what may have been the stipulated price of those concessions
is withdrawn.
In the instance before us, the
equestion is not merely of
form. A substantial change is made in the Treaty ; and, as I have
said, on a point originally proposed by yourself, tiir, as the Ameri-
can Plenipotentiary, and understood td be proposed by the special
direction of your Government.
The right of visiting vessels suspected of slave trading: when ex-
tended alike to the M eat Indies and to the coast of America, im-
plied an equality of tigilance, and did dot necessarily imply the
existence of grounds of suspicion on either side.
The removal of this right, as to the coast of America, and its
continuance to the West Indies, cannot but appear to imply the
existence, on one side, and not on the other, of a just ground
either of suspicion of misconduct, or for apprehension of an abuse
of authority.
To such an equality, leading to such an inference, his Majesty's
Government can never advise his Majesty to consent. It would
have been rejected, if proposed in the course of negotiation. It
can still less be admitted as a new demand, after the conclusion of
the treaty.
With the exception of this proposed omission, there is nothing
in the alterations made by the Senate of the United States, in the
treaty (better satisfied as his Majesty's Government undoubtedly
would have been if they had not been made) which his Majesty's
Government would not rather agree to adopt, than ruffet the hopes
of good, to which this arrangement had given rise, to be dia.,
appointed.
Upon this omission, they most the Senate of the United States
will, on another consideration of the subject, see that it is not
equitable to insist.
A full power will therefore be sent to Mr. Addington, his Ma-
jesty's Charge d'Affaires, at Washington, to conclude and sign,
with any Plenipotentiary to be appointed by the American Go-
vernment, a treaty, verbatim the same its the rett tried treaty
would be, with all the alterations introduced into it by the Senate,
excepting only the proposed omission of the words " and Ame-
rica," in the first article; which treaty, if transmitted to England,
lt the ratification of the Government of the United States, his
riat Majesty 'will be ready- to reeky. ' -
Rut 1 am to apprise you, Sly, that his Majesty will not be ad-
seed to appoint Plenipotentiaries to conclude and sign the like
Unity here, to be, as before, ratified by his Majesty, and to be
again subjected, after ratification by his Majesty, to alterations by
the Senate of the United States.
I am confident that you will sec in this distinction, nothing
more than a reasonable safeguard for his Majesty's dignity, and a
just desire to ascertain, before his Majesty again ratifies a diplo-
matic instrument, to what conditions that ratification is affixed.
I have the honour to be, with the highest consideration, Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
To Richard Rash, Esq. ec. GEORGE CANNING.

above, promises the conclusion of the correspondence in its next

The finances of Turkey are in the most exhausted state; and
after the extraordinary expenses caused by the war, the vexatious
measures which the Divan has ordered, to meet the new ex-
penses of the war, seem to prepare a complete disorganization
of the Mussulman dominion in all its European provinces,
which, from Vardare to the Danube, are oppressed by excw.
bitant contributions. A great many inhabitants of 31acedonia
have in consequence abandoned their homes, and gone to .fount
Agrapha, to emigrate to Lived& and the Mores. Travellers who
have just passed through the provinces beyond the Danube,
say that most of the inhabitants have fled to the mountains.
From Adrianople to Rodschuk there are only deserted villages.
As they passed through Bulgaria, whole troops of men,
women, and children tvictimi to famine and the inclemency
of the season), came out of the forests to ask alms. Disap-
pointed in their hopes of aid from Russia, the Scla►onian popu-
lation turn their eyes to Greece.
These financial embarrassments have led the Divan to impose
a contribution of thirteen millions of piastm on 'Wallachia
and ,Molclavis, which being contrary to the Treaties with Russia,
the Authorities of IVallachia have refused payment, hoping they
shall be supported by Russia. Another measure, which may
have serious consequences, is, that the Grand Vizier has cow-
derably augmented the tribute of Servia. The inhabitants are
highly incensed at this, and symptoms of insurrection have ap-
peared in some parts.

We have positive irformation that all the Officers of the S;iss

—The Spanish Government is going to propose to the Swiss
Cantons to conclude new military capitulations. There is every
reason to suppose that those proposals will be rejected. Fo-
reign service becomes more and more unpopular here, and the
Swiss, besides, dislike serving in Spain. A Spanish Minister
Plenipotentiary is expected shortly in Switzerland, who will reside
at Lucerne or Soleure.

SIERRA LEO.VE PAPERS.
ROYAL OA7.F.TTE.
inEZTOWN, Nov. 13, 18!4.
By the pocket that arrived here on the bth instant from Cape
Coast, which place she left on the 6th of October, we have advices
stating the arrival of the A shantee army at Coomassie, having suc-
ceeded in escaping the vengeance of the Ackimo, who, from want of
ammunition, were incapable of impeding their pmgress. It is to
be hoped that the knowledge of this circumstance will show us the
necessity of taking each measures to present our enemies from
supplying themselves at d'iiimins, or elsewhere. with the means
of carrying on an internal war, to the great injury of our trade.
and to the liberties of the other native powers in amity with us, as
will, at least, place them on equal terms with their neighbours.
If the Ihttch Colonial Government (for themselves, and u agents
for American traders.) for the sake of gain, do not scruple to entail
misery and ruin on the unfortunate natives of this Continent, by
supplying one Power with the means of destroying another, still
we feel that it is Britain'a duty, anti, as far as it lies in our power,
we ought to prevent it. We will also add. tbat, from the reispccta-,
bility of our force upon the coast. and the present rood feeling of
the whole of the Fantees towards us (the d'Elmusas alone ex-
cepted), added to the efficiency of our naval squadron, there can be
no obstacles in the wsy of doing so.
Cape Coast has been very gay. in consequence of a visit from
Colonel Last, the Governor of d'Elmina, and suite. We hope this
may lead thesis authorities to entertain „hisser views toward. UP, and
induce them no longer to disgrace the flag of their country, by al.
fording its protection ar.d suipoTt to a race of savages in an attempt
to destroy the very men whose hospitality they have so very lately
been sharing.
Provisions of all kinds were in abundance at the Cape ; so much
so. that we understand frets beef and perk would not fetch London
prices, and rice was whim; for half • dollar a bushel.
We regret to observe, iv these papers, evidence that the Slave
Trade is still carried on to a considerable extent, under the
Portu-
Gutse and Graailian flags.

TO Tlfe EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

SI R—Sin ce the puhlicatiou of the pamphlet, entitled
" The Bank of England Cue," the partners of the house
in Berners-street have concluded, that it no longer can
serve the interest of their creditors to withhold their
avowal, that they have participated both in the proceeds of
the forgeries, and of the other frauds of their partner
Fauntleroy.
They assert, however (and it is but justice to them to
admit that this was their original ground of defence), that
they had no knowledge of such participation, nor even of
the receipt of such monies into the house, until after it had
stopped payment; when a more careful examination of the
books convinced them that their designing partner had
made the- -^masciously on their parts—not only par-

takers in the produce of his frauds, bid parties even to the
process by which these frauds were effected.
Under this new view of the case, the following " balance
sheet" has been privately submitted to consideration ; but
it is not yet determined whether it will be expedient to
produce it to the creditors at large at the final meeting:—

Against this deficiency of 41,210/. Si. Od. the creditors
will have the advantage arising awn the sale of the pri-
vate assets of Fauntleroy, amounting by estimate to about
30,0001.
It will be seen from this statement that the available
assets of the house amount to one half of the claims upon
it, even including the very doubtful one of the Bank of
England, and that consequently, under the most unfa-
vourable view, the creditors may fairly expect •a dividend
of ten shillings in the pound.
The author of the pamphlet which has produced this
statement, very justly observes, that the unfottunate
gentlemen in this finn became, in perfect ignorance and
linnocence, the dupes of their partner ; such, indeed, was
the consummate art with which he conducted his frauds,
that in order to evade all suspicion, he made them the in-
struments of uttering his forged powers—directed them to
employ in those negotiations the very broker of the house
to pay the proceeds of the forgeries into the house of
Martin and Stone—to withdraw them from thence into the
treasury in Berner's-street, and even to record the receipt
of these sums with their own hands in the " Book of
Knowledge."
It will probably appear to superficial readers, that these
ulterior proceedings are somewhat incompatible with that
entire igndrance and innocence of the partners, so forcibly
insisted upon by the author of the pamphlet; nor is this ob-
scurity entirely removed by the hypothesis, that they might
not be able to read, because he has just proved, and with
great success, that they were perfectly able to try ite.
It is obvious, however, that the author had in his
mind's eye the apothegm of the profound Dogberry, that
" to write and read comes by nature ;" and as he may have
observed, in common life, that nature has frequently be-
stowed the faculty of reading on an individual from whom
she has withheld that of penmanqiip, he concludes, very
reasonably, that she may occasionally have acted con-
versely, and for reasons hest known to herself, have be-
stowed the faculty of writing, where she has altogether
denied that of reading.
The exhortation of honest Dogberry is, indeed, an
authority for this ground of defence so directly in point,
that it leads to a suspicion that he must have intended to
convey an oblique insinuation against some banker at Mes-
sina, of whom he had not a good opinion ; and this con-
jecture is further strengthened by the subsequent part of
the charge, where his regard for the interests of his com-
rades so entirely supersedes his usual caution, that he ex-
horts them without any equivocation " to hare is care that
their SILLS be not stolen. -I am Sir,
Your most humble Servant,

LOSS OF THE DUTCH SCIIOO2VE CALYPSO.
We have received some particulars of the loss of his
Majesty's colonial schooner Calypso, which sailed for
Amboyna on the ltith of April with despatches for Java.
After struggling for several days ivith contrary winds, it
struck on the slnth, at midnight, on a reef, called by the
natives Passeleurang, about five miles S.W. by W. from
the island of Ilosagalet. The ship filling rapidly with
-stater, it was resolved to abandou.it ; part of the crew got
on board, and part in a raft which they put together, but
the latter not being able to keep the raft afloat, returned to
the ship; and those on board the long-boat (which was too
crowded to receive any more) promised to send it back and
feels them off. This, however, they were nnablc to do.
After driving about for four liars, withotit food and very
little water, and asasiled by the inhabitants of several
small islands with shot and darts, the long-boat was sur-
rounded near the island Lusuratlie by Ave vessels of the
natives, and the crew, being without arms and completely
exhausted, taken prisoners by a hundred of the natives.
After having remaii e I 12 days in slavery in the island,
they were set at liberty by the intercession of the Rejait
of onerate, except three Europeans and six Javanese.
Those released, to the number of ten or twelve Europeans
and three Javanese, arrived at Macassar the 21st of June.
We have no account of those who remained on the wreck,
but Vessels and agents have been sent to endeavour to save
them. It is said the numerous and important despatches
which were saved from the wreck were burnt by the
natives.—Humburgh Pepin

We are informed, by a letter received from en officer of
his Majesty's ship Tamar, 28, Captain Gordon Bremer,
C. 8., that the sudden sailing of that ship from England.
with sealed orders, in February last, was occasioned by its
being determined by Government to colonize Melville
Island. The Tamar arrived at the ('ape of Good Hope
on the Sth of June, but it being necessary to rtfit her, she
did not leave that place until the 18th of July. She ar-
rived at Sydney (New South Wales) after an excellent
passage of forty-seven days from the Cape, where Captain
Bremer hired two transports, and they took on beard 801
rank and file of soldiers, and a number of the most riotous
of the convicts, and sailed for Port Essington, in Melville
Island, which is in the Gulph of Carpentaria, at the earth,
end of New Holland. The Tamar will leave the detach-
ment of Royal Alarincs, which she embarked at Plymouth,
as a garrison at Port Essington. The Tamar afterwards
proceeds to England, calling at the Presidencies at Calcutta
and Madras for despatches and mails. Melville Island is
wcil situate for the encouraging of trade and communica-
tion with the Malays.
It is proposed to erect Import and Export Docks and
IVarehomes at Southampton, in order to prevent the deten-
tion, lasses, and shipwrecks occurring every winter bc; weer
the Thames and the Isle of Wight, particularly ;n the
Dawns, where the most lamentable effects are lan Ty been
felt by the Underwriters at Lloyd's. Tits verge from
London to Southamptoqvis as dangerous as a part of the
coast, and from requiring both easterly and westerly win:l,,
frequently occasions delays of menthe, which, it is on-
sidered, would be removed by rail-roads to Southatr.pton.
Some injurious reports having been circulated calculated
to affect the stability of the bask of Messrs. Garrett and
Son, of this city, the inhabitants in general have thought
proper to sign a declaration, that they will take the notes
of the above firm, in the ordinary coin'se of busin..io ; and
consequently confidence has been completely re-established.

During one of those tresigndous storms that visited Edin-
burgh in the course of laslikeek, some sailors were passing
through James's-square, when a can from a chimney-top
fell among them, but fortunately did no. injury. One of
them exclaimed, in a truly characteristic moaner, " illy
eye, Jack, here's a pretty rig—a sejvlee of danger. It will
go hard before Fru found ashore again in a gale of
wind."
