Tuesday mornirg his Imperial Highness the Grand
Duke Michael took his departure from London for
Russia. His Imperial Highness, with a truly princely
ninnilicencc, presented two superb snuff-boxes to Sir B.
Bloomfield and Sir William Congreve, previous to his
departure The boxes were inanlztiL:va, .41 by Messrs.
Rundell, Bridge and Mundell, and are said to be valued
at 1,000 guineas each. Mr. Roberts, State Coachman
to the Prince Regent also received a vary elegant
snuff box. Massive silver tankards, valuable watches,
&e. have been presented to others of the Royal house-
hold, who had been appointed to the temporary esta-
blishment of his Imperial Highness ; and it is said, the
lowest la !per, in the Mews at Stratford House, has re-
ceived a present of =II guineas.
The Liaper Alexander has taken up his temporary
residence at Aix-la-Chapelle in what was formerly the
Hotel of the Prefecture, and sleeps in the same chain-
her which Napoleon occupied the last time he was at
Aix-la-Chapel:o., in 1808.
The King of France has permitted an individual at
Dunkirk, M. Dab-meau, to give his name to a vessel
which he is now fitting out in the harbour of Dunkirk,
for the whale fishery, and has also given bim private
encouragement, this being the first equipment of that
nature. It is to this fishery that the town of Dunkirk
owes in a great degree its former splendour. In 1790,
thirty.tbur vessels of every description sailed from this
harbour for the whale fishery.
It seems akretty generally reported, that a bar-
gain for the t sfer of the Floridas to America, has
been struck between the Governments of Madrid an&
Washington. The amount of purchase-money is said
to be five millions of dollars, one third only of what
France received for the cession of Louisiana. It will
be recollected that it was stated in the American Papers
that the Treaty was actually concluded, and only
waited " the ratification of the heads of the two Go-
vernments."

Extract cf a. private letter from St. Helena, dated
Aug. 17.—" The Governor and Council, in a meeting
with the inhabitants last Thursday, proposed the
gratinal abolition of the Slave trade, and for the ho-
nour of St. Helena it has been warmly followed tip ; a
Committee was instantly furned, whose resolutions have
gone to Council, and go bane in the General Harris to
the Court of Directors. The most important feature
of their proceedings is, that none ere to be born slaves
after Christmas-day next ; that the proprietors of such
female slaves who may beer children after that 'late
shall be at the expense of retiring then in their child-
hood, and to be Teimbursol by their being bound or
considered apprentices to them until the lige of ;8 for
boys, and t 6 fin. girls This is striking the axe at the
root of the evil, and I am heartily glad that it has been
i,toixe 1. Vroposils have also been made this d.v ter
letters t.f eendolenee to the Prime Regent and l'rinve
Leopold, and unanimously earned, anti a subscr.rtion
fur the intouled chorus entered into."
