left Poet Louis on the 2d of June last, when the Andromache and

undergoing a thorough refit at the Isle of France, and the Barns-
coma continuing the survey of the Eastern Coast of Africa and the
Madagascar shores, which, it was thought would occupy them at
least six months longer.
The following is an extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's
at the Cape of Good Hope, respecting the loss or the Mary Ardlie,
from Bengal, and the King George IV., Prissick, from the Alan.
Sties, dated July 30:—
" Yesterday's post brought us letters from Captain Annie to the
251 ult., and from Captain Prissick to the :Ate. Captain Arnim
states that at the date above mentioned he warehoused about UN
tons of goods, about half of which was indigo, sad was in hopes of
getting out of the vessel 200 tons more of sundries. Ile adds that
the hold is full of water, and that the tide ebbs and flows en
the gun-deck four feet, and that he was therefore obliged to
scuttle the deck fore and aft to get out the cargo. Captain Aralie
has expressed • desire that one of the members of our firm should
be present with him upon the spot, to act with him in examining and
selecting the cargo to be canted to England, and decide upon what
is best to he done generally for the interest of those concerned. Mr.
Dixon left town accordingly this morning for that purpose, and
will reach Morel Bay in five days hence. Of the cargo of the
George IV. little or nothing it is expertixt will be saved; only one
cask of cloves had washed up. Sugar bags are continually drlfting
on shore, but the sugar is gone. The wreck still holds together.—
Captain Priesirk thinks that a schooner might prove useful in
saving some of the property, and the Flamingo is gone into St.
Sebastian's Ray for that purpose. Communication with the wreck
from the shore is both difficult and dangerous."

A weekly paper, alluding to the stories in circulation re-
specting Mr. Fuuntleroy, observes—" No one has the in-
genuity, or the charity, to mention what we have goal rea-
son to believe will turn out to be the fact, namely, that
•Lt. THE MOULT has been brought to his own and his
partners banking account."
On Friday night a numerous and respectable party met

evening was spent in the greatest harmony.—Glasgow

Highness. His request was sous• years ago addressed to
Louis XVIII., who, though he had never refused the
favour, would never grant it.
