FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

ME unexpected events, recorded in the Paris papers
of last week, possess an exhilarating influence. The mi-
nor triumph, obtained in the cause of Abbe Vinson, ex-
cited hopes in the friends of that liberty which the con-
stitutional charter was intended to secure to Frenchmen.
It was a Ear earnest, that ulterior and essential good
might be expected in favor of the just rights of that
abused people, whose case we lately ventured to depict as
most melancholy and portentous. We did not expect,
however, that so bright a beam political joy would so
speedily break through the dark horizon as to give us a
promise of approaching day. The king's ordonnance
for the dissolution of that tamultuary Chamber, which
threatened the restoration of despotic rule in all its worst
fonns, and which, if favoured by circumstances, might
have dug a grave for the best part of the French popu-
lation, has revived the hopes of all who are friendly to
constitutional liberty in every nation of the globe. It
has given animation to all who are equally solicitous for
monarch's privileges, and the people's rights, and
conceive the best palladium of both to consist in the spi-
rit and established fia-ms of a free Constitution—in such
a compact between the gc..e:wours and the gocerned, as
may secure the wise ends of rule on the cue hand, and of
political obedience on the other. Such a compact, im-
perfect we conceive in some of its; bearings, was offered
to the exiled Louis, previous to his return to France.—
It was entisidered by the frieuls of omstibitional
.freedom,
and we believed by the greatest portion of the French po-
pulation, as the guarantee of immediate internal and ex-
ternal peace, and of future happiness to a distracted peo-
ple. The resumption of it, therefore, by Louis, under
present circumstances, is of momentous import to him-
self and the French nation ; and we hope he will possess
energy and patriotism sufficient to rally round it the wise
and the good, and calmly mutant his future fate to God
and his people.

A vire 'tame of rather a curious nature took place in the
As.iie Court of Paris, un Ft iday selinight. One Claude Lan-
elan, n conk. has stood chat ged for some mouths past with pro-
pusnig to two fellowcooks, named Leblanc and Toursaiii, to
poison the King. The trial was to take place on the 12th of
August last, but was postponed on account of the absence of
I.eblanc, who is in the service of Marshal Manumit. The trial
was again to come on ou Friday last ; but Leblanc did not make
his appearance in Court, and a letter was read from the Attor-
ney-General to the Tribunal of Chatillon, sig,taifying that the
Al:ash:lL could nut send his domestic to Paris, because he was
sick. I. Advocate-General, remarked to the Court,
t !tat the somewhat equivocal language of the letter left it still
Nt‘ilde that it was the Marshal, and not his domestic, who was
ittklespobrti. He expressed his surprise at the impertinence and
les sty of Marshal Manumit on such an occasion.—ln former
times the highest grandees would have been anxious to obey in
person the requisitions of justice; a fortiori they would have
made no ditliculty in sending their domestics assigned as wit-
nesses. It was astonishing that the Marshal should have con-
sulted only his personal accommodation in an affair of this de-
lieate and serious nature. He demanded, therethre, even in
Lehalf of the accused, the postponement of the trial till another
session, and against the witness the applicat ilia of the articles
of the C
the trial to the 23t1; and ordered that all the expellees of cita-
timn, join-ides of witnesses, and others, should be charged to the
Nvitness Leblanc, who should he compelled to appear bodily,
aad be brought before the Court by public force ; he was be-
sides condemned to lOn francs fine.

CLAIMS OF THE UNITED STATES ON THE
COURT OF NAPLES.

The following details respecting the American de-
mands upon Naples, are copied from the Paris Pa-
pers :

NAPLES, AUG. 18.—The Mission Extraordinary of
Mr. Pinckney, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United
States of America, occupies much of the public atten-
tion.—The following is the history of the confiscation
of the American vessels by Murat, the claims for
which form the object of the mission of Mr. Pinck-
ney.
The' American schooner Roti, Capt. Thompson, of Bal-
timore, entered the port of Naples in 1809, laden with
eafie. It was sequestrated, but soon afterwards released
au the representation of the American Consul, Mr. F.
Degcn. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Marquis
de Gallo, wrote on that occasion to Mr. llegen the fol-
lowing letter :
" Naples, Jaly 9, 1809.
"Sir—The King having again taken into cousideration your
ace of the 28th May, relative to the American schooner Roti,
Captain Thompson, from Baltimore, for Naples, with a cargo of
coffee, and furnished with the regular accessary papers, he
has decided that the sal.' vessel shall be rostored to Captain
Thompson, to whomshall he given the Ace use of the mercha ll•
iliac and property which it contains. At the same time, his
Majesty lass determined as a general measure, that all Ameri-
can vessels which shall arrive direct in this kintdotu. and %Oh
a positive destioation for its ports. shall be- freely admitted,
provided they are furnished with the necessary certificates of
origin amid navigation papers, and arc not in contravention to
the Royal Decrees of the loth Decenitier, Intati, and January 9,
It,oB, relative to English Columerci•, and to that of neutral
powers, which Decrees arc to he maintained in full force. I
have the pleasure of communicating to you this sovereign do-
blsio.l which I have communicated to the Minister of Finance,
and I take the opiaortunity of a:sating you of my distinguished
emisidei ation. " Martinis 1)E GALLO."
'This letter was sent to America, and profusely distri-
tuted. It was the cause in 1810 and 181 lof several
American vessels with valuable cargoes arriving succes-
sively at Naples. They were compelled to discharge at
the expence of the consignees, and to deposit their mer-
eh:maize „in the public magazines, under the pretext that
thay could not be received in quarantine without that
formality. The Customs kept one key, and delivered
mother to the consigned. When the number of Amen-
ce.n vessels had increased to thirty, they took the keys
from the consignees, -under the pretext of an order of
Bt:onaparte's having arrived from Paris, and sold the
tierchandise by auction. The Minister of Finance sold
eves the vessels, with the exception of some which were
it-pt for the service of Murat. The Roti, for instance,
f ans part at Cie present moment of the fleet of King
Ferdinand IV. Th.- sum arising from these tittles,
mounting to from 4 to 5,000,000 ducats of Naples, was
great part of it applied to pay the expences of the expe-
diion tt.,v.inst Sici!y. The consignees fret even a diffi-

COTTON 01.4NUFACTURES.

The present situation and the real interests of our cotton ma-
nufactures are subjects of much importance, and respecting
which minty well-founded complaints arc made. The system
adopted by Buimaparte, through his famous decrees at Berlin
and Milan, has certainly produced effects prejudicial to our
manufactures. Foreign countries which exclude our piece goods
readily take our cotton yarn, front which they manntacture
goods for themselves. By returns from the Custom-house at
Mill, tt appears that there have been shipped from that port,
during the last three mouths, 3,713,9100 pounds weigh t of cotton
yarns. Tlm se yarns arc chiefly purchased to supply the manu-
facturers of cotton piece goods in Germany, France, amid Swit-
zerland. Some part is also destined fur Russia. And the whole,
when manufactured, will produce I ,237,Miti pieces of mu slins
and calicoes, allowing tiree pounds to earls piece of 21 yards,
whirls is the average weight of the pieces. A wea4er finishes
in the loom one Om. of 21 yards weekly. The number of
hands, therefore, necessary to weave the quantity of yarn as
above stated, in the same period, is 9.5.225, and supposing the
quantity of cotton-yarn, shipped from all other ports of England
and Scotland to be equal, when put together, to the quantity
shipped from Hull, it will give full employment to nearly
200,000 foreign weavers, and the annual 'frothier, will he
millions of pieces of cotton goods. The additional activity
given to fOreign labour in printing, dying, bleaching, and finish-
ing these goods is almost incalculable; and as these yarns in
times Nast have fur the most part been manufactured at home,
and exported iu various kinds of piece-goods, it follows, of
course, that the activity given to foreign labour by the export of
our cotton yarns, diminishes in Me same ratio the demand tOr
the same kind of labour at home. It' our continential neigh-
bours admitted our manufactured cotton teece-goo is without
restraint into their States, it would be policy to allow them also
to import our yarns to be by themselves manufactured, this
becomes a commercial derangement which a wise state should
counteract. We think it would be, under these circumstances.
adviseable either to prohibit the exportation of cotton yarn, or
to lay a heavy duty upon it. By puttin4 greater difficulties in
the way of the foreigners obtaining our yarn, we should dimi
nigh the number of their weavers, and retard the progress of
their manufactures, while we encourage our own.

A mectino. of the wool-growers of the county of Hants, con-
vened by the Hampshire Agricultural Society, took place on
the Dith ult. at St. John's-house, Winchester, when a peti-
tion to Parliament to restrict the importation of foreign wool
was determined upon, and a subscription entered into to carry
it into effect. Sir Thomas Baring presided at this meeting,
which was attended by the Earl of Northesk, Rev. Sir Charles
Rich, Bart. If. R. Wither, Esq. Edward Woolls, Esq. with
many consideiable proprietors and occupiers of land in the
country.

MADAME RICHARD.—The Hamburgh Mail received on
iVeduesday. has brought au account of the descent of Madame
Richard, for whose satety serious fears were entertained.
" HAMBURGD, SEPT. 2.—lt is long since any person has ex-
cited so much juiciest in the piratic as Madame Richard, who
on the 29th, so resolutely ascended in her balloon at the ap-
pointed boor. No news having been received, it was feared
that the balloon might have taken a direction towards the Bal-
tic. Happily these fears are unfounded. She arrived on the
Slat at six in the evening at Sheverin, wherein she has written
to her husband, that after a dangerous but happy vi.yage, she
descended 12 German miles (6I English), from Sheserin at
Mulehin, half a league front the frontiers of Mecklenburgh and
Pomerania, and intended to be in Hamburgh on Tuesday."
ASCENT OF MR. SADLER, JON.—ME. Sadler ascended with
Ids balloon
.at Cork, on the 2d inst. from the grand square of
the new Barrack. At one o'clock the inflation of the balloon
corninenced, and was completely finished about four o'clock,
when a pilot balloon was dimissed to shew the direction n hid)
the larger one would take the ear was then attached to the
balloon, when Mr. Wysidhain Sadler placed himself in it, and
the whole svas conducted from the place of inflation to a stage
erected before the north front of the grand square. The
balloon bring liberated from every confinement, rose majesti-
cally towards the skies, whilst cheering acclamations resounded
on every aide.
- . .

The day was exceedingly propitious, and the wind being
moderate and about N.V. the movement of the balloon was
towards Kinsale, and it was kept in view nearly an hour, with
two intervals only of a few minutes each, during which it
Passed through two clouds, and was at length only lost to view
by the elevation of the distant hills.

The general anxiety for his welfare was removed by an ac-
count from the adventurous youth himself the following morn-
ing, stating that he had effected his descent within a unarter of
a mile of Robert's Cove, without the occurrence of any un-
favourable incident.

DisTnEsststo CACE.—The following distressing account ap-
pears in Cukdonian Mercury of Thursday se'nnight:—One morn•
tug last week, an unfortunate man in Edinburgh put an end to
his life. A widow and three helpless children, one of whom is
only 3 years of age, and another nut 2 months, arc the unhappy
sufferers by this event. The deceased was a confidential clerk
in a respectable house in that city, distinguished for intelligence
superior to his station in society, and his conduct through life
marked by the strictest integrity and sobriety. About six weeks
ago he fell into a state of melancholy; and, in spite of every ef-
fort to divert or sooth him, the malady gradually increased.—
While in this state he swallowed a quantity of laudanum ; but,
, by the entreaties of his afflicted wife, he was prevailed on to
take an antidote. From this period, however, his language
and his conduct bespoke a fixed determination to effect his
purpose by means more speedy and certain ; and his wile,
aware that any interfirrence on the part of others would only
have accelerated his design, concealed her distress, still hut*-
, ing the hope that she might be able to divert him from his
pur-
pose, His eldest son, an interesting youth about 13, never
failed, k r some pretence or calk r, to ace patty hint to the
place of his employment, and to be in the way to return with
him. The situation of the wife and son during this interval
may be better conceived than described. Tuesday se'nnight,
at half-past five o'clock, lie stole from his bed :and though dis.
covered by his son, and afterwards by his wife; with a pistol
in his hand, he contrived in a few minutes to elude the vigi•
lance of his homily, and finally committed the desperate act,
which laid him, who had hitherto been their-faithful and mice
tionate protector, lifelem at their feet. On the night pit:ceding
this catastrophe, he read to his wife some lines written in the
course of the day : they were found in his pocket ne‘t morning,
and denote very strikingly the horror of mind to which hp fell
, a victim.

THE HARvEsT.

KYNT.—The tenni of fair weather, after the dreary day of
Monday, has given life to the esee firms of the farmers in mast
Kent, and much wheat has in consequence since been carried
and housed.. There worn, how. ver, some very heavy shoo ers
of. rain on Wednesday, particularly at Winghain ana Bridge,
bet their duration was short, and their exit nt very confined.
The harvest in the vicinity of Maidstone, at the latter end of
last week, had partially begun, beet the letern of the wet ea-
titer on Monday stopped it. It is CNpected the mops kill, in
general, be favonrable; the wheat more so than the bark's, the
latter having been intent beaten down. Oit Wednesday there
was a violent hail storm, %%hick did much damage to the corn.
At Marden, eight miles from Maidstone, hailstones as large as
mats were picked up ut Idarrietsbain seee:al windows were
broken, and other damage door by the hail. Snow fell once or
twice in the neighbourhood delving the week, and mote thau
once ice of the thickness of Iralf-a-crown wat funnel in the
morning.

Suss;:x.—Our reports this week, upon the whole, arc I.
venerable, and the wheatdields, in all parts of this district, now
present Ito ordinary scene 14' industrious activity. In several
quarters, however, we regret to state, that the farmers, fear-
ful of the weather, haw e cut their grain in an unripe state ; and
in chi: condition touch has been already carried ; but a con-
siderable portion thereof being, in the vil, regarded as too
green for housing, it has been brought hack and spread upon
the stobble to dry, as the intervals of sunshine have allowed.
This, our correspondent tells us, has suffered much it hugs
acquit ed a dryness from the wind, but a shrunken appearance,
and notch of its original substance and quality has bVPII
This calamity, however, has not been general, our is tlit re-
verse of a fair average crop as yet anticipated.
SOMFRSET.IIII:E.--We have the great pleasure of stating,
that the wheat harvest is proceeding rapidly. Several far-
Aiers have already carried a great part of their crops; and
from the present tine weather, there is the best reason to hope,
that ia the course of the next week, the greater part of the
wheat crops in this part of Soutersetshire will be safely housed,.
Tanotnn paper.
_ _

Wrurstirttr.—it is confidently expected, should the weather
prose favourable, that the corn in Wiltshire will be housed its
the course of the next three weeks, in consequence of the un-
precedented number of persons now seeking to be employed.
It is a singular fact, that Mr. Robert Canning, a most wealthy
anti respectable farmer of Ozbottrit, tt ilts, has now sixty per-
sons employed reapingone piece of wheat.
_ .

Nonvot.a.—Within a circuit of ten miles round this cite 3,
considerable quantity of corn will have been housed or stacked.
this week. In those fields it here the wheats are much laid,
and the ears rather green, the old log ring-bone fast (as the
harvest-men call it) appears to be a judicious one. This is
merely to place each handful of reaped corn across the other,
by which means the wheatews lie upon the straw, and being
thus kept from Mr the ground, become dry in a shorter time.
The smaller too the sheaves are made up afterward, the better.
110 P INTELLIOENCE.—CANTEIMURY, Se'PT. ft —ln this
neighbourhood the hop plantations sustained very great in-
jury by the late storms. Half the poles were blown down, and
where they withstood the gale, the blossoms were blown off
and scattered upon the pound. Out planter of this city cal.
elliatPS his loss at 6,9001. ; another at 1,2001.: all of them to s
considerable amount.

Wonce.sTEn, SEPT. 13,—The average prices in our last mar-
ket were from 101. to 1 I. The plantations have since suffered
so much from the cold nights that all hopes of a favourable
torn arc vaiiishe.l, as the crops in general, from the present ap-
pearances will scarcely answer the expense of picking.

The:.e ig a double-blossomed cherry-tree in the Shrubbery or

ing fruit of a tine appearance.

'f he pier at Hyde, in the Isle of Wight, already extends up.
wards of a quarter of a mile into the sea; it is in contempla-
tion to extend it much farther, and when finished, it will form
one of the most delightful marine promenades in this country.
At a Meeting of the Magistrates in the division of Marl-
borough, the Magistrates gave the inn-keepers notice, that in
consequence of the continned complaints of the badness of
their beer, it' their brewers served them with bad, they were at
liberty to brew it themselves, or buy it wherever they pleased,
and if from so doing they were wiled out of their houses, they
would grant them next year a license at other houses, and on
no eottsidcra•ion renew that to the one, they had quitted ; •and
that, if after this notice they persevered in selling bad beer,
they would not again be Hemet'.

Among the numerous effects of the late earthquake in
the north of Scotland, the sluice-gate of a piece of water
at Parkhill, the seat of General Gordon, near Aberdeen,
weighing several tons, was raised from the fintudatiori
12 inches, and some large stones having rolled underneath
it kept it up in that situation until most of the water es-
caped before it could be replaced.

The Bath Paper says—" The interesting Mrs. Bever-
ley, well known in this city, and other watcting places,
for delivering Readings and Recitations, has lately been
displaying her rhetorical talents in a new scene of action,
vit. at the Court of Assize tint the county of Warwick,
pleading her own cause against a charge et' pilfering a
pocket-handkerchief in Birmingham !—She attracted sia.
usual, a numerous and elegant company ; and we doul.t
not that her impressive eloquence, as, usual, affected the
sensibility of a great part of her audience ; but unfortu-
nately there were tairtve iadividualv, who were so °bait-
. rate and ungallant, as not to be persuaded that the
kerchief was picked up by mistake ; and the consequen:e
' was, that poor Mrs. Beverley, /ribs Elizabeth Ricards,
was sentenced to incarceration fur the term of 12 calen-
dar months."
