• THE coTufts Of .PRUirE.
The following is s concise summary of the despatches
of Sir Archibald 'Campbell to Lord Amherst, relative to
the capture of Prome :
The place was taken, as we hive already stated, on the
26th of April ; and with it, one hundred and one pieces of
ordnance fell into 'our hands. Neariv one quarter of the
town was destroyed by fire.
Prince Sacrawnddy, with the remnant of his people,
was retiring direct upon die capital. destroying the
villages, grain, boats, tee. of every description, which lay
B 4 the line of his retreet.
A reinforcement of troops, anti thirty pieces of cannon,
Were within a short distance of Protne when Sir Archibald
Campbell took possession of it. The troops had dispersed ;
and the greater part of the guns, together with the war-
boats, had fallen into the hands of the flotilla, under the
weeirmand of Captain Alexander, R N.
The position of Protne is described as extremely fermi-
dible, the bills by which it is surrounded being fortified
to their summits. The place, indeed, is by nature, so
strong, that, in the opinion of Sir A. Campbell, ten thou-
sand steady soldiers would have. defended it against any
Mese& of ten times that force. •
It gives us unmixed satisfaction to add, that the whole
of these services were performed without a single casualty.
A Supplement to Me Gazete will be published to-day,
with the official details of the above operation, and other
despatches from Sir A. Campbell.
We announced yesterday, the smount of the loss sus-
tained previously to the taking of Donabew ; but we are
enabled to lay before our readers to-day, the official
return of the killed, wounded anS missing, down to the
3d of April.

The Aiken:eine Zcitung of the 29th ii.stant, contains
the following article relative to the supposed effect of our
Proclamation, respecting the Greeks and Turks, on the
Funds of some of the Continental States:—
' FI•EIKEORT. OCT.
" The Funds of the eller, Statawfiave rison a little. this week.
Some persons on 'Change ascribe this to the English Proclamation
of the 30th of September, enjoining British subjects to observe
strict neutrality with respect to the parties at war in the East, be-
cause they consider this act as a new pledge of the continuance of
peace. Other persons differ from this opinion for carious reason*,
one of which is, that the publication of this Proclamation had no
effect on the London Exchange, which was the most interested.
Besides, nobody now thought that the affair of the East would
lead to any serious differences between the Cabinets, as the critical
moment had long since passed over, aid an entire conformity of-
views had prevailed for years respecting these affair."
Letters from the coast of Italy state that the Mediter-
ranean swarms with Greek vessels, cruising against the
property anti flags of the African dependencies of Turkey.
They have taken several valuable prizes ; and as they arc
not very particular what ships they detain, a great annoy-
ance to trade in that quarter is antieipabd.
Letters from Majorca state that an official decree by the
King of Spain bad reached that island, allowing the irn-
poi cation of 187,000 fanegas of wheat, and 31,500 of pulse
at a duty of 10 Is. vn. per fanega. The importation to be
allowed in Spanish vessels only.
We have received the Milan Gazette to the 14:h inst.
It states, under date of Messina, Sept. 21, on the authority
of letters from Genoa, that a Sardinian squadron had sailed
for Tripoli. The Bey, however, it appears, from a letter
dated Malta, Sept. 10, had made some concessions. Ile
has promised the Sardinian Consul, by the head of his
father and the beard of Mahomet, that no Sardinian
vessels shall he sequestrated till the arrival of fresh
deapatches from Turin.
Accounts from Frankfort state, that the brothers Roths-
child have just given a splendid instance of their humanity
and benevolence, in undertaking to erect an hospital fur
the Jews, at an expense of a Itundtrel thousand florins,
and providing for its endowment with three thousand
florins annually.
Jamaica Papers to the 6th of September have been re-
ceived. They contain no political intelligence of any inte-
rest. On the last week of Augint a very heavy fall of
hail took place at Burnt Ground, Hanover. A barrel full
was picked up in a short time, and applied to cool she wine
for dinner.
M. Girard, jun. professor of anatomy and physiology at
the Royal Veterinary School at Alfort, (ILA a few days
back, at 29 years of age. die fell a victim, like Bichat,
Bedard, and many other illustrious men, to an inflamma-
tion of the brain, a disease brougnon in consequence of a
prick he gave himself whilst opening the body of a young
man who halt died of a rngrene sickness. His loss will
be greatly felt by all friends to thesciences.—Paris Paper,
SHIPWRECK AT THE HELDEE.—GIIENT, OCT. 23.--
We have the following afflicting news from the Helder:—
On the 20th the brig William I. Capt. Sucko Ruig, from
Davis Straits, cast anchor off the port. The rough weather
and a north-west wind would not let the Captain attempt
to enter during the day. Towards evening it blew a storm :
at midnight the safety-boat was directed with incredible
difficulty along the. coact, and the brig was found to have
gone to pieces. The safety-boat nmeeeded, amidst the
greatest dangers, in rescuing sixteen of the crew, which
amounted to forty-seven, persona: 31 others, including the
Captain anti three of his sons, have met their death in the
moat deplorable manner in the waves.—Brussels paper.
Mr. Mulock, in connection with whcse late proceedings
at Oxford, as he truly states, " the name of Mr. Canning
has been most wantonly and unwarrantably introduced,
has published a letter, explanatory of his conduct. The
writer appears to labonr: under considerable excitement.
From a keen seine of injustice, he is less measured in his
lat.guage, in speaking of those whom he considers to have
persecuted him, than he might have been.
QUEENSBERRY CASES.—The tenants on the estate of
Neiripatb, near Peebles, having received the agreeable in-
timation from their law agent, that the damages awarded
against the executors of the late Duke of Queensberry, for
the deprivation of their lessee, would be paid to them in
the Tontine Inn of Peebles, on Thursday last, assembled
accordingly, nothing loth; and having banl.ed their lot/.
contested treasure, gave a handsome entertainment to their
"pilot who weathered the storm," and to a number of,
other gentlemen, friends of the fortunate leases.
