4,- since they were bound down to au assize which
fair trader a profit so small as to be unexampled in any
calling in the kingdom; and at the same time they
d by the ChielMagistrate to have their assize settled
wheat, an article in which they did not deal, and
of which they had no control. They rearsented
dship that considerable danger was to be appre-1
fended to the peace of the metropolis, it' the assize of bread shuidd
be actually set by the price of wheat, because they could not cone
tiune to supply their customers if a measure so oppressive should
be :,ttempted. Lord Sidmouth said, it was impossible for Govern-
ment to interfere with the Magistrate whose duty it was to set the
assize; but recommended them to represent the real circumstances
of their situation to the Lord Mayor. He thanked them for the
communication they had made, and assured them that he should
take rare to provide for the peace of the metropolis. In the even-
ing of the same day there was a meeting of master bakers at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, which was attended by between 600
and 700 of that body ; when a resolution was entered into, that if
the assize of bread was set from the price of wheat, the baker
Conk! not continue to supply the public.
Tuesday, the Master and Warden of the Bakers, with the Com-
mittee of Bakers, of the Company, attended the Lord Mayor, with
their Solicitor, as his Lordship, finding the price of flour was still
lept up, notwithstanding the decline of that of wheat, persisted
in fixing the assize from the latter ; the Solicitor for the Company
argued the case at some length, and a discussion took place, the
result of which was, his Lordship adjourned the business until four
u'clock,when, after consulting the City Law Officers, the price of
bread was ordered to be continnzal the same us last week.

A Court of Common Council is summoned to he held at
Guildhall, to-morrow, " in consequence of a requisition
received by the Lord Mayor, to take into consideration the
present high price of bread, which has been kept up in an
alarming degree unprecedented after so abundant au harvest,
which Providence hal been pleased to bestow upon us."
A general volunteering from the Militia will, it is said, be
-ordered to take place, previous to the ensuing meeting of
Parliament, and which, it is believed, will be the last under
the regulations at present existing.
General Vandatnme has been sent prisoner to the interior
of Russia ; he met, on his journey, the execration of the
people for his cruelties at Bremen, Hamburgh, &c. and his
escort was scarcely able to protect him from their rage and
resentment.

Mr. Francis Seymour Larpent, Deputy-Judge Advocate
in the Peninsula, was lately surprised and taken prisoner by
a French piquet while riding with some young officers on the
Pyrennees, admiring the grandeur of the SCCPC. The rest
of the party escaped. Mr. Larpent is now at Bayonne.
HUMANITY AND BRAVERY..--TIIC following act of bra-
vv.y and humanity, which has but few paralleli, is recorded
of a French Officer who was taken prisoner at the surrcnder
of St. Sebastian.—During the heat of the first attempt to
storm the town, while the contest was raging in the most
furious and deadly form, a French Officer saw an
one (belonging to the Royals) fall wounded to the ground,
exposed to the fiercest fire of the artillery. The Fiench
Officer's sympathy was excited, and, rushing to the spot,
through all intervening obstacles, be placed the unfortunate
gantleman on his back, and conveyed him safely to the hos-
pital. Lord Wellington, with his accustomed regard for
desert, has recommended him to the notice of Government.
A circumstance, no less interesting, occurred about the same
period. A Newfoundland do 4 was found by the side of his
deceased master, (another Officer of the Bova's) tliPee•clays
after the engagement. On the approach of the French
party, employed to bury I:,c &ad, the f.tithful animal spewed
considerable ferocity; but, being pacified at length, he per-
mitted the corpse to be 'moved, and followed it to the
pave. The impressive fa.ct was convonei,ated to General
ey, who iastautly adopted the uoble animal, and brough t
to Engliusti.

SIIADWICILL.—An investigation at the above office in'o the late
dangerous riots among the Chinese Lascars, io which three men vi ere..
killed, and about 17 wounded, terminated ou Tuesday, w ith the cilia-
mitment of six of the ringleaders The followinz is an abstract of
the most material evidence :
, A. Gola, Superintending of natives of India atated, that in a place
called Kingl)avid's Fort, there were :About L-00 Chi! e e in the bar-
racks belonging to the East India Company. Of these there we
two sects, one called the Clienies, the ether the Chin-Chao. On
visiting their barracks about eight o'clock on the nmrning Of the
18th ult. he found them in a state of entire hostility ; onc sect fight-
ing the other with knives and implements of every description.
He immediately directed the gates to be slog to pi event the of-
fenders from escaping. He then sent for and procured the as, ist-
ance of several of the police officeim, on seeing whom approach,
the contest in a great measure subsided. The officers immediately
proceeded to disarm them of their weapons, which, by this time.
they attempted to couccal. On searching their chests and ham—
mocks, all their knives, 4:c. were taken away. One man was
-foond dead, with his bowels ripped open. Sever were cart led to
the London Hospital, severely wounded, two of whom are ,ince
dead. The Chenies overcame the Chin-Chou by superiority of
numbers. The winless was informed that a cutler, on Towur
was employed to make instruments fur the Oicilies. He found his
name was Ciamer : he acknowleged that be had recently sold two
sets of large knives to them, and had been commissioned to snake,
them a farther supply, which his workmen were then eXcectiura
These the witness saw : they were large knives, with wooden han-
dles, the blade about the size of a common cutlass. Cramer being. •
apprised of their intended use, promised they should not he'de-
livered. Several of the Lunen; were afterwards stonpeil at the
Barrack-gate, in the act of bringing such instruments with them,
which they delivered up, nut without some struggle, and an at-,
tempt to use them against the officers for making the seizure.
The origin of this affair appears to be thus, by the evidence of
the parties :—A Chines being at play with a Chin-Choo, they guar.
relied about Is. 6d. which one had lost and refused to pay : they
came to blows, and on a sub-sennent day tilty rene.wed the combat
with knives. Too Sugar, a Chin-Chop, now in the hospital, is
alleffed to have begun the contest, by calling to liii sect to Mum
and fight the Chenies. Hence it appears each sect can4lit the con-
tagion of quarrel from these two, when the reneonuter became.
general.
Of thaw in custody, three have been discharged for want of evi-
dence. The toriAiving are to take their trial)viz. ,4ipni, Appong,
Ch ong, and Pen.
