gannet of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Corunnt, dated
July 19:— •
" Two Colombian pt ivateers, a brig and schooner, who cruise front
:ape Finisterre to Cape Ortegal, make daily captures, and we have
free the crews of several Brattish vessels robbed by them. A bar.
di.jsa relvioner, which sailed last week Item Gibraltar, was met in
tire waters of Camara:iris by the Colombian schooner, and, without
ropeeiing her flag. starched her all over, robbed the property of a
*pettish pineenger, whom they snipped of everything, and took
4,000 &Ilan from the master. An English schooner and a French
brig, last Monday, were obliged to aubmit to their being dspt
cally and forcibly searched and visited. Near Vigo and Ka-
rides many w. is hays boss also visited aid stripped of their
cargoes."

We understand that the ladies of Camberwell, Dulwich,
sud Herne-hill, are forming themselves into committees,
fur the supply of clothing to the distressed manufacturers
in Isanembire.
All Itrasoners on Political Science agree that the leant
ob;ectional Taxes are those thai bear more upon luxuries
than necessaries, and which are in the nature rather of vo-
luntary than compulsory taxation. Our Excise Duties,
although very productive, base more to do with articles of
/usury than of necessity; and, however, some persons,'
who reason hut superficially on subjects,may murmur against
Mjnisters for this or that duty, it is wisdom in Govern-
uirot to repeal taxes of compulsion before they meddle
with those of a voluntary nature; and this brings us to
question the policy of Ministers in abolishing Lotteries,
which wear., infmln.(l have afforded to the Revenue up-
wards of Four Hundred Thousand Pounds a year, and
Cott quite voluntarily on the part of the Public. In the
iiresetit state of the country, surely some equivalent but
compulsory Tax must be substituted for what will be
Ist to the Rttverrue on the Inth October, when it is re-
romptsrily ordered that all Lotteries must end for ever.
