BORDER SKIRMISH BETWEEN THE

SCOTS AND ENGLISH.

Maxwell's army had assembled, and advanced
as far as the western border, when it was drawn
up in order, and Oliver Sinclair was raised on
a buckler for the purpose of reading the com-
mission intrusting Lord Maxwell with the com-
mand of the army. The ill-timed introduction
of this unpopular minion in a situation and duty
so ostensible, occasioned a belief that the com-
mission which he read was in his own favour ;
and as this rumour gained ground a general con-
fusion prevailed, and many who did not chose to
fight under the command of so unpopular a
General, began to leave their ranks and return
homeward. Dacre and Musgrave, two chiefs of
the English borderers, who had come to watch
the motions of the Scottish army, were wit-
nesses of the strange and apparently causeless
scene of confusion which it exhibited. With-
out knowing the cause, they took advantage of
the effect, and charged with a degree of courage
and determination which changed the confusion
of the enemy into .flight, and in many cases into
surrender ; for a great number of the chiefs and
nobles chose rather to become the prisoners of
the English leaders than to escape to their own
country and meet the displeasure of their
offended Monarch. TO whole Scottish force
dispersed without stroke of sword, and the vic-
tors made many prisoners.
King James had advanced to the border that
he might earlier receive intelligence from the
army ; but when he learned the news of a rout so
dishonourable as that of Solway, the honour of
his kingdom and the reputation of his arms
were, he thought, utterly and irredeemably lest,
and his proud spirit refused to survive the humi-
liation. He removed from the border to Edin-
burgh, and from thence to Falkland, his deep
melancholy still increasing, and mixing itself
with the secret springs of life. At length his
powers of digestion totally failed. It was in
this disconsolate condition that a messenger,
who came to acquaint James V. that his Queen,
then at Linlithgow, was delivered of a daughter
found him to whom he brought the news.
it so ?" said the expiring Monarch, reflecting of
the alliance which had placed the Stuart family
on the throne ; " then God's wily be done. It

came with a lass, and will go with a lass."—
With these words, presaging the extinction of
his house, he made a signal of adieu to his fol-
lowers and courtiers, and expired.—Dr. Lard-
ner's Cabinet Cgclopcedia, Vol. IV.; being.

At the last audit of JOHN PAINE TUDWAY,
Esq., M.P. for the city of Wells, held on Tuesday, the
4th inst., that gentleman, with a liberality proportioned
to his invariable indulgence towards his tenants (and with-
out solicitation), very generously remitted to them 20 per
cent. In looking to the state of the times, and the con-
tinued depreciation of price in the article of cheese,
especially at the last Wells great market, it must be ob-
vious to every one that a reduction of rents, by the great
landed proprietors, is most essentially necessary to protect
the interest and sinking credit of their honest and in-
dustrious tenantry, and we do hope that such laudable
examples as the above will become more general through-
out the country, from the great pleasure it will afford the
public and ourselves by recording them.--Bath Journal.

GERMAN AND HAMBURG PAPERS.

NAPLES, APRIL. 18.—Our Court has now re-
ceived an official communication from the Turkish

Government, relative to the expedition against Al.

giers. We undcrstand that in this note the conduct
of the Dey towards all the Christian Powers is de-
railed at length, and the necessity shown in whicl,
the King is placed to obtain ample satisfaction from
the Chief of that piratical State. At the same time
Os is also reported) the French Cabinet is stated

.o have announced the co-operation of the Viceroy

of Egypt in this enterprise, who, at the moment
that the French expedition appears before Algiers,
will send a considerable body of troops against Tri-
poli and Tunis, to conquer these States, and in this
manner to second the operations against Algiers.
A mere naval expedition, adds the French note, has
hitherto led to nothing more than illusory satisfac-
tion, as the conventions most solemnly agreed to by
the Dey have always been infringed soon after they
were concluded, by new excesses and acts of vio-
lence; that the King of trance has therefore taken
the resolution to destroy for ever the focus of piracy
in Algiers itself, and that he was just deliberating on
the means of carrying it into effect when the Vice-
roy of Egypt had made proposals which too nearly
coincided with the views of the French Government

not to be accepted, that Mehemet Ali had proposed to
the King to co-operate in the overthrow of the Bar-
bary Government, and to introduce into the country a
regular system, to take upon him the administration of
the New State,which will be under the supreme autho.

rity of the Porte, and to restore the fine countries
of the North African coast to the benefits of civili-
z Ilion. This idea, it is added, could not but meet

with the greatest approbation, as the Dey of Tripoli
had, by the most shameful calumnies and unworthy
conduct, compelled the French Consul to quit his
post, and the French Government had, therefore,
judged it advisable to undertake alone the chastise-
ment of Algiers, and to leave to the Egy ntians the
more easy conquest of Tripoli. The French Go.
vernment had been induced to promise to Mehemet
Ali ail the assistance by sea that he might want
against Tripoli; and the King having accepted the
proposals of the Viceroy, had ordered his Consul at
Cairo to come to an arrangement about the kind of

assistance that the latter wished for. If the contents
of the abovementioned official communication are

really of the tenor here stated, it should seem that
the Barbary Powers are to be for ever abolished, and
in the room of them new Governments to be intro-

duced, which will be nominally more subject to the
Porte that' now, but in reality belong to France
and Egypt. It would then remain to be seen, whe-
ther the other maritime Powers would behold with
indifference the execution of this plan.—d4llgemeine
