Eaton, the Pedertrian.—lt has been often asserted in
the sporting world, that Eaton never performed those
great watches attributed to him, and no person has been
more inflexible in his opinion, it appears, than Captain
litrelay. However, the truth of the matter is now like-
ly to be put to the tent. A wager of 5001. has becu
proposed by a Mr. Jarmin, and accepted by the friends
of Eaton, •hat the pedesstrian does not perform two
thousand half miles in two thousand half hours in suc-
cession, begining at the first of every half hour. A C.Oll.
iq It:rabic deposit has been made on both sides, and the
oemainder of the money is to be made good on Monday,
Cetober 14, at Belcher's. Eaton is confident of success,
1/7 d feels highly elated with this opportunity of convinc-
ing the doubtful, beyond all dispute whatever. The
und.rtaking is to be completed befOre Christmas.

LONDON :
MONDJY, OCTOBER 7.

THE Leander arrived at Portsmouth, on Saturday.
By this ship we learn, that Lord Exmouth arrived at
Gibraltar on the 19th of September. He was re-
ceived there by a personal salute of 19 guns, then by
three salutes of 21 guns each ; and lastly, by three sal-
voes of 60 guns each, which, it is supposed, must have
been heard at Cadiz. By this ship we learn several in-
teresting particulars relative to the conduct of the Dey
and the Algerines. When Capt. Brisbane was treat-
ing with respect to the two Spaniards, the Dey is re-
ported to have said to his Divan---“ Von see, his fiwt
is upon my neck, what can I do?" And in his letter
to Lord Exmouth he observed, that he had engaged
with many nations, but never knew any like the Eng-
lish ; " if you call those your Peace Ettahlishment
ships," said he, " what must those be you use in War."
The French were pleased to assure us, with their
wonted accuracy and politeness, that the Dey had be-
headed his prime Minister, the morning after the
action, because he suspected him of having been bribed
by Lord Exmouth ; whereas it turns out, that he was
beheaded, because the Dey considered him, as the prin-
cipal of the French party, whose influence had prevailed
upon hint to refuse the overtures if Lord Exmouth.—
Some of our officers assert, that the French ship, allud-
ed to in our last, had landed a number of French En-
gineer Officers at Algiers, preparatory to Lord Ex-
mouth's arrival. But this involves a treachery, so
decidedly base and horrible, that it never can be true.
At least, it requires the most ample confirmation.
The following is part of a letter from an Officer on
board the Leander, dated off the Motherbank, Sep-
tember 28.

" His Highness the Dey, it would seem, was deluded by false
confidence in his means of defence, and ignorance of our naval cha-
racter. He permitted us to take up our position without molestation,
intending (it is since confessed) to boatel us from his flotilla, whilst
we were furling sails 3 37 boats were all fully manned and prepared
for the service ; but, to their utter confusion, means had been pre-
pared to clue them up, instead of furling them, so that we began their
dreadful havoc and destruction, before they could apply the few strokes
of the oar, which would have brought Maui alongside our ships. 'Die
tremendous broadsides of the Queen Charlotte and Leander, pouring
upon them, instantly sent them to the deep ; leaving scarcely a wreck
behind,
behind, but the harbour covered with people swimming from destruc-
tion. The Mole was tilled with spectators on our entrance, where
the terrific broadsides of the Queen Charlotte iiistsntly spreaddesola-
tion; and as crowds rushed to the great gate for succour and safety,
the Leander's guns, which commanded the principal street, there car-
ried death and destruction. Three times were the batteries on the
Mole cleared, and thrice were they manned again. The Dey was
every where, offering pecuniary rewards to those, who would stand
against us; eight zequins were to be given to every man, who would
endeavour to extinguish the fire. At length a horde of Arabs were
driven into the batteries, under the inspection of the most devoted of
the Janissaries, and the gates closed upon them."

There is one point in the event of this battle, whivh
can never be sufficiently admired ; and it furnishes an
example of proud molenition, which we would recom-
mend to the imitation of the French, should they ever
win a battle again and that is—never to add a single
condition to the treaty, (flier the conclusion of an action,
►ohich had not been included in the one, proposed, befiffe
its commencement.

The arrival of Lord Exmouth's squadron may be
hourly-expected.

AMERICA.

Trade of almost • every description is said to be in a
most wretched state at Philadelphia. The warehouses
are filled with goods ; a considerable number of citizens
have closed their doors fear want of retail business ; and
many vessels are lying, and have laid for sonic time, on
the quays without a freight. The difficulties, arising
from the suspension of cash payments by the hanks of
the various States, arc not likely soon to terminate.
Mr. Maddison► is stated to have wished, that the new
banks should be in operation by the first of next year,
and the resumption of cash payments to take place by
the 20th February ; but the delegates from the New
York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia banks have agreed
to postpone paying in specie until the Ist of July.—
We believe it possible, that the Americans may, with
address, pay in specie when the Bank of England does,
but it will much surprize us, if they do before.
The British Consul has interfered in consequence of
a higher rate Gl duties being imposed on British vessels,
than on those of the United States; which he, of course,
considered cintrary to the commercial Treaties between
the two countries. The reply of Mr. Dallas stated,

OCTOBER 7.

the: tuc ~-,nerat tpayrnment of the United States would
keep strictly within the line of the treaty ; but, that
each separate B!att• might impose local duties, over which
the general Government had no eantroul. If this be really
the case, it is of very little use to make commercial
*treaties with the general Government ut all. That
Governmcnt,however,appeared not unwillintotlicilitate
arninge.aents, which might supersede the levying the
duty, complained of.
The •S'park sloop of war was about to sail from New
York, when our advices left that city, with a view, as
is supposed, of negociating with the Algerines. When
Captain Nicholson arrives off Algiers, he will find a
powerful auxiliary to his negociations in our late most
glorious and decisive victory.
An article from Naples seem, co imply, that, if we
started no objection, the Court of Naples would be dis-
posed to cede the island of Lampedosa to the Americans,
England would inevitably object to this. For though
the island is, as Frederick Fulguso assured Ariosto, so
rough and mountainous, that six Knights could not
light on horseback upon it; vet, rough and mountain-
ous as it is, it is by flu' too smooth for us to let it be
converted into storehouses tbr American merchandize.
Lettersreceivedfon,Friday, however, seem to imply that
the three American vessels, now in possession ofthe Nee-
'widens, will be the only result of the demands which
the Americans have demanded of that Government.

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.

Letters from New York give most afflicting accounts
of the extreme wretchedness of the emigrants in the
United States from England, Scotland, and Ireland.
A letter from James Buchanan, Esq. who, we be-
lieve, is British Consul at that port, gives the follow.
ins melancholy state of the emigrants in that district.

You will be surprised that I expect orders daily to take up ves-
sels to send back thousands of emigrants from lure to England,
Ireland, and Scotland. The applications at this office, this week, to
be sent back amount to 10 for England. 8 to Scotland, and 76 to
Ireland; indeed, so great is the distress litre, that thousands must
starve iif some money is not crtended to them bg our Government,
which they have oeeu induccsl to abandon. I have granted passports
to great numbers to go to Upper Canada; hundreds, wm have been
settled here for years, have applied to me to be pennitusl to go
to Canada; but a proper degree of delicacy is observed by our Go-
vernment, lest it shoed be alledged, we wished to draw any of the
citizens from the States to our Colonies. however it is a degree of
satisfaction, that those parts of the Continent which, have remained
under the British Government are preferred to the United States,
who boast so much of their superior privileges. I have no objection
that this extract should, be published in England; on the contrary.
I would deem it important, that these things were fully known that
such emigrants should, in the first instoner, go direct to Canada, who
arc obliged to abandon their native suiL"

In spite of all the accounts, which, in so many shapes,
have reached this country, of the disappointments and
disasters of persons, emigrating to America, which, in
the poetry of their imagination, they expect to find a
land flowing with milk and honey, it is lamentable to
observe the eagerness, with which other persons quit a
soil, the agreeable memory of which is to embitter every
moment of their future existence. From the statement
above quoted, it may be anticipated, what a multitude
of evils await those, wko quit their native shores with.

out an adequate consideration. In America, it is true,
there is abundance of land, particularly in the Back
Settlements ;—but it is covered with wood ; a thousand
miles from a market ; servants not to be procured ; no
society ; few magistrates, and those of the most igno-
rant cast ; long winters ; suflbcating summers ; savages
for their neighbours, and a capital required more than
adequate to keep the wanderer in his own country. tie
goes from that country in expectation ; journics in lan-
guor ; sleeps, or rather watches, in disappointment ; and
finishes in repentance ; but " rep enti,nce comes too
late, when the city.of Basra lies in ashes."

A curious indication of Swiss freedom has lately pre-
sented itself, in the circumstance of the nntgistrutes of
one of the Swiss towns having sentenced a descendant
of William Tell tojefin blows of a cudgel, to public ex-
posure, and to several yenrs' labour in 11w galltwl—and
fin. what? For the dreadful and most dete.dable crime
of having collected signatures to a petition for the libe-
ration of his father, who was confined in prison!

The Emperor of Austria is about to reduce his army
to I*mM° intimtry, and 30,000 cavalry. The con-
tingent in France, and the garrison at Vienna, arc net
included in this reduction. Suici.les in that city are
reported to have multiplic,l to a fri6litful extent. This
is attributed to an ill-regulated love of pleasure, and to
an unblidled luxury, which have brought on a general
corruption of manners.
