The following is an extract of a letter, dated
Senegal, Sept Y 7 :—" The camp of Altair, the
Moorish Chief in the British interest, has been sur-
prised during the night. The lass of tents, cattle,
and nearly toe whole of his patty, his two sons
buying been killed. and t 74 rousi:ets tuken, is the
result of this enterprise." Another part of the let-
ter refers to dissensions which appear main to have
brol:en out between the natives and tine Europeuhs.
Extracts of letters from Gibreltar :—" Oct. 12,
There has been a considerable stir in trade here
lately. The export to Spain of British ranuufacture
is very great. Several officers of tile defeated Spa-
nish Guards and carubineers are occasionally drop- .

where it is reported they are provided with funds to
take them to the Army of the Faith."-,•Oct. 8 :
" The Sardinian squadron has ut length taken its
departure—some say for Genoa, but that is not be-
lieved tip be its destination. Officers of Fel.-

Letters from Naples stale, that the Princess Par-
tuna, wife.lo the 'King of Naples, bad nearly loth
tier life from an ucrileat which occurred soon nfier
his Majesty's departure on the 2'.1.1 ult. Mr Verona.
The Princess had ascended to her beautiful villa, the
Ploridiana (once the country house ut the sangui-
nary and treacherous Saiicetti), which is situate on
the hill of the Vomeru, neat Naples; and she was
returning by the steep paved rood to tee city, in a
carriage and four, when the hems took fright, and
set off ut Cidl gallop down the The coachman
was thrown from his seat and sewn:L.6y hurt ; but
after running, some distance, one of the le:rses
fell and the carriage was stopped. The danger in-
deed was very great, fur, besides the road being
extremely steep, it is in several places over consider-
aisle hollows. The Princess had suthcientiv reco-
vered from her alarm to set off on the 24,th for
Verona. Ms de Serra, the French ambassador ut
Naples, left the capital for Verona on the eeil of
October.

We have been informed chat Mr, Svymour (who
charged Townsend with extorting money front him,
who has since been tried and sentenced to death)
has, in consequence of certain atfilavits sent from
Ireland by a King's messenger to the Secretary of
State, which will probably be the means of ss,ving
Townsend's life, obtained a passport, and left this
country under a feigned name.
An epidemic disorder has, for some time, very
generally atikted horses in Ireland. The mail-
coach establishment, on the road front Dublin to
Cork, and to Limerick, have particularly suffered.
At Nenagh,. upon the latter line, upwards of forty•
horses were laid up at the same time. The horses
are suddenly attacked wit!' the most violent inflam-
mation about the eyes, swelling of the legs, great
debility, and loss of appetite, Work in this state
is fatal, but rest, copious bleeding, physic., and
warm mashes arc, in most.icases, found to be eta-
cacious.

A Brasil packet has just arrive 3, with letters from
Rio Janeiro to the 1411► September, but they men-
tion no news. The Prince was daily expected back
from the Province of St. Paul's, where all the dif-,
ferences with the Junta had been settled. Trade is
represented as being in a very dull state, owing to
the circumstance almost of the shopkeepers being on
militia duty, and, meicantile letters add, they buy
little beyond their actual wants, in cortscquence of
the unsett?ed state of the country. The Conway
had arrived at Rio, from San Blas on the coast of
Mexico, with specie on board, and without touching
in any port of Porn. No later advices had been re-
ceived torn Lima at Rio than thc 12th of June,
which date is not nearly so recent as that of the
ac-
counts we have previously received front the sumo
quarter, by the way of Panama and New York.

now eloped since the keelmen deserted their employment, and
there is 'it no prospect of their 'chiming to their engagements.
Of their vol ii,ary riubinissiou there appears not the moat dis-
tent prolethility ; and oe can ;tercel% e no meens of regaining
their services, except by their being reduced to actual necessity
or by the adoption of prompt and vigorous meusurea on the
part of the civil authorities. The unautinity they have evinced,
and the secrecy and cunning. which have distinguished ad their
proceeding+, are truly remaikahle. In the ditferent meetings
they have held, especial eye hay been obserwed to have 'slew

thus preveotiog their recognition by presenting only ate ngers

New Moos OV Ititstao Tile WdarD.—A well-dressed
man arrived, a *holt time wince, at the Talbot Inn, Bristol, by
one of the London coaches. Ile made some ingiiiries respect-
ing the Exeter coach, by which he said, he intended going the
follorvlng day. lie ordered slipper and his brandy and water,
and weld to bed. After breakhist next morning, the waiter
gave him his hill, when, to the waiter's surprise, he declared
he bad no money. The landlord wits called, who was not to
be done easily, and he was about rending for an officer when
the gentleman begged he would not, and offered to leave some
part of his dress. lie actually took off his pantaloons and left
',them for his hill, which was about seven Shillings, promisin•• on
his return from Exeter to redeem them, as he had no friend it
•Bristul to whom he could refer. Plc bad a frock coat, and •
good pair of drawers, and did not appear to feel the loss
pantaloons. He went directly from the Talbot to the Bash •
and there inad• the name inquiry respecting the western coach*
—ordered Ins dinner, aid said he would remain there until the
`lent day, in order to go by the Exeter coach. I. the meal
time, it may be supposed, he lived well. Oit thel following •
morning, he rang his bedroom bell in a groat hurry. When
the servant can.w, lie desired him to send big muster, and ex..
claimed tb it he had been robbed of his pantaloons, with lee
pounds ten shilling+ in the pocket. When the master arrived,
the gentleman put bineself is a great passion, and his story was
believed. Thu landlord of the Bush become alarmed
for the respectability of his house, and returned him his money,
sent for a tailor in tile neighbourhood to brio,: some pantaloons,
slid begged the story might not he made public. It was con-
cluded same of the passee;ers who had gone by the morning
coat:hes bad corusiti!ted the robbery. It is needless to sly, the
gantieinao,. on receis mg the money, took himself off. The
day following, the servants of the two inns meeting in the mar•
ket, the trick was discovered. The man has nut since bees
heard of.
