domiciliary visits to every house in the town and
neighhourhood in the hope of discovering the dis-
seminators of the treasonable placards, but on
the 3d it does not appear that any of
them were discovered. This incident is said
to have thrown a damp over the mind
of the CZAR, Rho begins to imagine that,
after all, his life, even when surrounded by the,
legions of the empire, is in the power of his ene-
mies. Of course this account will be very much
mitigated in all its sterner features when it reaches
us through the German Papers ; and we may even
expect to hear that the AUTOCRAT laughed at such
an attempt to intimidate him. But whatever at-
tempts may be made to conceal the truth, it is
certain that the EMPEROR betrayed serious alarm,
and that the whole of the Imperial family labour
under continual fears of his assassination by some
of his victims in Poland.

There is no news of any political or general inte-
rest in the French Journals of Sunday. Seven
columns of the Constitutionnel are filled with a
Report of M. TESTE and a Royal Ordinance rela-

of SPAIN'S authority by the Basque Provinces has
been followed by a suspension of the prohibitory
regulations enforced by France while the Provinces
were under the dominion of the Pretender. The
number of Carlists who have already sought shel-
ter in France is estimated at nine thousand, inelud•
ing one thoUsand officers.

PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. I.—Our market for the past week
has been flxtremely dull, and the operations limited to a
supply for immediate wants. The circumstance is no
doubt to be attributed to the scarcity of Money. United

" We regret to state that the disinclination of many
labourers to resume their work in several properties in the
parish of Trelawney, as mentioned in our last, still exists ;
they ask exorbitant wages to be paid them daily, and where
they agree to pay rent they insist on a yearly lease. This
is acting up to the advice given them on the Ist inst., in
the Baptist Chapel, by Mr. Knibb."

Accounts from Tobago state that the sugar crops are
now nearly over for the season, so far as there is labour to
take them off the ground—with a number the expectation
being, that one-half will be the standard. The smaller
estates have generally been more fortunate than the larger,
some of the former having made crops beyond the,average
of a few former years ; but the latter, from defectiveness
of manuril assistance, will be able to make but very dis-
heartening. returns.

Extract of a Private Letter from Canton :

Captain BRiott to convey
'• The ship Ariel, taken up by
Government Despatches home to the Red Sea, will there
await au answer to the deputation of merchants to our Go_
vernment on the position of affairs in Canton. How the
business will terminate entirely rests on the British Govern-
ment, and it will be impossible to conjecture what will
occur in the interim.
" The Americans have two ships of war here, and we only
one, and it is feared she was going to leave, notwithstand-
ing application had been made to her to remain fur the
protccLon of the British subjects here."

BOMBAY.--We-have been favoured with the fol-
lowing extract from a private letter, dated Candahar, June
5, 1839:--" A melancholy event occurred within a few
miles of this camp on the 28th ult. Lieutenants Inverarity
and Weimer, of the 16th Lancers, went out on a fishing
excursion a distance of about six miles from the encamp.
ment ; and, on their return, unarmed, about nine o'clock
at night, the first named officer, having preceded his friend
a few minutes, was attacked, in a mountain pass, by a party
of from fifteen to twenty armed Affghans, and barbarously
murdered. Lieutenant Weimer, who came up a few mi-
nun•s afterwards, had a miraculous escape. He had,
luckily, a stick in his hand, with which he warded off a
sword cut made at him, so as to receive only a slight cut
on his forehead. He had to fly for his life, and, the put_
'F nit of the murderers--being arrested by the plunder of the
Imgg,age, he succeeded in reaching the encampment,
where he procured a guard, and returned to the assistance
of his friend, who was found alive, but died almost iminc-
diatety afterwards."
