JREPOR FED C 111 VINE OF SIR GREGOR WGRE-

0011 AND DI, 1114410P5.

. Damon, .Jane •the Bristol, Har-
vey, from Jamaica. -She spoke off Cape Nicholas an
.American schooner •from Porto Bello, bound to
•,Bultimore, who .stated that aficr•Sir G. NPGregor
had been in possession of that place fourteen days, a
severe battle took place, in which J(0 privates and
70 ()Writ officers were killer:l, and himself and the
test of his force wounded and taken prisoners.
On Saturday policies were opened at lloycrs, to
receive five guineas, for which ten are to be returned,
if a de.:lar.tten of War takes place between this
e inn ry and America, on or before aat day twelve-
month.

by a recent arrival of iltnerican Tapers, .we arc
informed that Comur,dore Perry is going to sea in
command of a squad-eon whose destination is un-
known, but presumed to be for the. western coast of
South A nitrica .The squadron consists of the
Jahn Attainl, the Ontario sloop of war, and the En-
terprise brig. Large emigrations are taking place
from the maritime districts of the United States to
• t'.e western territory, more especially the Illinois.
This emigrating spirit is of a difrerent character
throughout the republic of North Atueriea, front
what it appears to be in other countries: with most
Europeans it is the result of hunger and necessity,
which long struggle with local afiectiuns before they
can move the unhappy emigrant from the scenes of
his childhood anti soil of his fathers. The citizen
01. the United States has no loves to restrain him,
no griefs to drive him : he emigrates, as he amokes,
(rpm pure indifference ; and cures no more for the
spat in which he was born than fiir that which he
,has never seen. It is remarked, that the people of
the United States seem to be, above all .others, di-
vested of local attachments. But to those who
einisidtr such a national characteristic as mcrely..cu-
. riot's, and Kim 'aorta interest, it may not be ansiss.
to remark, that a vagrant people can have few of
those motives to virtue which arise from a sense of
.the value of reputation, or from a duccrence for.tbe
opinion of their neighbours. Like gipsies, the back
woodsmen become outcasts from all that is enlight-
ened and improved among mankind : but worse in
oue respect than gipsies, the back woodsmen of
America live separated from each other; they arc
amenable to no compact .with
.any living society,
even the least esteemed ; .they sympathise ,with
.nothing human ; selfishness, supreme and
.unbound-
ed, is the hitter print, the terrible. law •of their
condition ; nor can we imagine a more fearful
4prcgpect fur arty state, than what must sprint,from
the growing predominancy of such habits ismong its
members; from a class of.scarcely
men, rapidly increasing in magnitude but declining
„tn, nature, midst:ea:ding further every day from the
discharge of thoge moral obligatimis waich bind
tavether the whole fabria-cf sue4ty.

-Zhe
.Duke and
.Duchess of Bedford, th:, Duke
and Duchess of Wellington, the Duchess of Rich-
nuniel, the Marquis and 'Marchioness of Tavistock,
the Earl and Countess Grey, and a large party,
took an aquatic excursion in the Admiralty barge,
/receded bra hand of music in anothe► barge, to
Greenwich, to diuner, on Friday. Synod other
diuingnished personages went in their carriages,
a. .d joined them at the Ship-tavern.
The purchases of Stock male by the Commission-
er; of the Sinking Fund will be on a scale greatly
ilithiniihed after the present week, on account of its
appropriation, in great part, to the service of,the
year. For this event, generally, the public have
been long prepared, although the real effact of the
measure on the value of the Government securities
remains still to be determined. The amount of,
these purchases has been, for the quarters ending
the sth of January and the sth of July, about
4,300,0001. each, And .fur the quarters ending the
sth of April and the 10th of October, about

3,400,0001. each, making on the whole year, on
aggregate sum of 13,500,0001. The daily pur-
chas:.s in the January and July quarters, were
96,000/. sterling ; unl in the April and October
quarters 76,000/. Since the pew taxes about to be
raised, and the produce of which is to be applied
hereafter to the :sinking Fund, will not be imme-
diatel3 productive, the daily purchases after the sth
of July will be extreme:y iusigmficant. It is cal-
culated that, on an average, the Commissioners will
nottave at their disposal,. on each day of purchasing, 11
a larger.sum then 17,000/. sterling. As the funds
declined last week nearly one per cent., and scarcely
a day passed in which the nt'rket fin• stock was not
a heavy one, one of the reasons given for this uni-
form state of depression was the approaching period,
of diminished 'purchases ; but, independently of.this •
' cause, whether real or imaginary, there ware others
which governed the operations of the -Stook -Ex-
change. The party who have been .so long endea-
vouring to run down the prices,. received last week
an accession of strength. On some occasions so
many sales•wcre offered, that it was difficult to find
purchasers without making a sacrifice. With this
combination .of.unfitvourable circumstances, it is
not surprising that.the funds have fallen, but that
they have maintained the present prices, and have
not &di:lei/still lower. Opinions in the city vary
mreatly as to the turn the funds are likely to take;
.
tl:c majority appear to expect a still further depres-
sion, but many of the must experienced speculators
are sanguine in anticipating a material change for
the better. Omnium varied little in the course of
Saturday; it left off at 21 discount, Consols, for
opening, concluded at 68. which, deducting the
dividend, leaves the price of that stock at 69.

It is gated in the American papers .that Messrs
Perkins and Toppan, of Newburyport, Massachu-
setts, lately passed through -New London Connecti-
cut, on their way to London. Mr, Fairman,
Engraver, of Philadelphia, goes out wi!li thse gen-
tlemen. They are to be employed in .Cngraving fo r
the Bank of England. From the specimens of their
abilities which have been exhibited in London, Mr.
l3agot, it is stated, has advanced them 5,000 i. ster-
ling, and it they succeed in their Lusines, they are
to rew:ive in addition 100,0001.
