PEAL, MARCH II.,•

I-its. Majesty's Ship Edgar, Savage Sloop, and
rentve Gun-brig, arrived this morning from the
Westward: the. latter sailed through the Downs
to the Northward, and the two former remain.

ADMIRALTY COURT, MARC!! 10.

ATI Appeal came on to be heard before Sir Wr
LtAM SCOTT, against the condemnation of a
vessel bound from Saffee, on the coast of Africa,
to Hamburgh, which had been captured of the
'Texel, during the blockade of that city, and
condemned as good prize.

His Majesty's Advocate was heard 'on behalf
of the captors. He submitted, that the vessel's
'real destination was to Amsterdam. This had
been proved by the papers found on hoard, and
that her destination being stated to be for Ham-
burgh, was only a colourable pretext, as she was
taken in a contrary diration from that place.
On these grounds he contended, that judgment
ought to go for the captors. ,
On the other. side, Dr. LAWRENCE was heard
for the owners of the ship and cargo. He stated
they were Mauritians, and of course could not be
supposed to know of any blockade having taken
place at Hamburgh, living at so great a distance,
andbeing ignoiant of the language. of this country.
besides, the Emperor of Morocco being at peace
a‘vith England, they were not bound to obey any
restriEtion a Power with whom they were at peace
chose to set up. The letters were all written in
Arabic ; and it appeared that a number of ar-
ticles on board the ship were sent as presents to
his brother by the shipper, who requested him to
send some religious books in return. He contend-
ed there was not the least intention of c%irling
the laws prescribed by this nation, as th2y were
not apprised of any blockade being intended ;
and it was a faa, that several of our own ships
knew nothing of the circumstance until some time
after it had taken place. He contended, that under
these circumstances, the ship and cargo ought to
be restored.
The Learned Judge deferred giving judgment
till a ftiture day.

A requisition has been made to the Trinity
House at Hull, for twelve Pilots to serve on
board the Fleet destined for the Baltic.
As our Readers may be anxious to know the
strength and disposition of the British Fleet
under the command of Lord K.Elni, we believe

we ran give them an Murat ateount of 140--
The whole force under his Lordship's command
consists of Thirteen Ships of the Line) Seven of
which are under his ithrnediate tither's., and are
supposed to be cruizing off Alexandria, or some
of the Mouths of the Nile.—Four were with Sir
JOHN WARREN at Cadiz, which it is thought
highly probable may. have followed. Admiral
GANTFIEAUME into the Mediterranean. The Two
others were supposed to be either at Malta or
Minorca. There is also a chance that Sir R.
CAttAtt may have received intelligence, which
may have determined him to steer tbr the
Mediterranean. At all events Lord Kr I 1 H will
be much more than a match for the French Ad-
miral, even if his Ships were fresh, whereas they
were, by his own account, very much damaged
by the tempest which they encountered near
Brest. It is possible that we may hear of GAN-
THEAUME'S taking a few Merchant' Ships, which
may probably be the whole extent of the success
of the Expedition.
The West India Convoy sailed from the Cove
of Cork on Saturday last.
Orders are received at Plymouth for all armed
Prizes, which may be thought fit to be examined
previous to being taken into His Majesty's ser-
vice, to be surveyed, with their masts and rig-
ging, and not stripped as heretofore, till reported.

THE ORATORIOS.

Covent _Garden.

THE beautiful Serenata of Acis and Galatea,
and a Miscellaneous Seleaion from HANDEL,
constituted the attraction of last night at this
place, the whole of which was very ably sustain-
ed, particularly by DENMAN, 'NCIEDON, Mrs.
SECOND, and Master SMITH. Miss TYREIt also
conspicuously distinguished her abilities.
DENMAN sung, " Oh ruddier than a Cherry,"
with great energy and correctness. INCLEDON
was most successful in "Love sounds the Alarm."

A young Lady, Whose name we did not hear,
played a Concerto on the Pianc-Forrf with extra-
ordinary ability, considering that she is totally
blind.

The Serious Entertainments at this place, are
well diversified with Instrumental Pieces. There
was a numerous, though, by no means, a crowded
Audience.

Hay-Market.

The recent success of, MOZART'S celebrated
Requiem has induced Signior RAVZZINJ, so well
known in the Musical World, and so deservedly
esteemed for genius and the merits of his private
character, to come forward with a Work of the
same kind, which was performed last night at
this place. RAUZZINI himself presided at the
Harpsichord. The Piece was highly impressive
and beautiful, with as much .variety► as could be
admitted in a Composition of such a nature. It
received admirable support from Madame MARA,
Mrs. MOUNTAIN, NIELD, WP.I.SH, and KNY-
VETT, and was much applauded by a numerous
Audience. The passages most admired were a
Quintetto and Chorus, and a very charming Air
by Madame MARA. This Composition is not a
Work of mere Science, but is enriched by the
powers of strong sensibility and a pregnant ima-
gination. The Author received a marked tri-
bute of applause for the high merits of his pro-
dutlion.

The first aft consisted of this excellent Re-
flt;em. The second' and third were seleaions
from HANDEL, which received a powerful sup.
port from MARA and the rest of the Performers.
Her " What though I trace each herb and your,"
was a delicious specimen of vocal excellence. re-
gulated by exad judgment, and heightened by
taste and expression.

A Committee of Trade was held yesterday
at Lord Liverpool's Office, Whitehall, consisting
of the following Members : —.Earls SPENCER
and CLARE; Lords lIAWKESBURY, AtiCKLAND,

Mr. RYDER, SZC. &C.

Lord Sr. VINCENT'S house at the' Admiralty

It seems to be the wish of the Herm;t of St.
Anne's 11, whatever differences he may formerly
have had with ',a certain Reverend Politician, to
be his colleague in some way or,other, for else he
would hardly have taken so aetive a part relative
to the' senatori4 digg.qity of the latter. The
effea of the Hermit's retirement seems very
evident, for lie did not appear on the occasion
alluded to, to, be capable of .disarming -a very
plain distinßio.v, Perhaps time, indeed, nay have
co-operated with indolence, for it is u
suspett the Gentleman of an intention to fruzxle
and confuse. But whether he is to be. considered
as a dotard or a dissembler, it' is manifest that he
is no longer fit for the office to which his blind and
desperate adherents are so anxious to see him re-
stored,

SPo:ivrtNO.Wednesday se'nnight a hag fox,
saved by the Brighton Hunt, and reserved for a,
future day's sport, was again turned our and killed,
after a chace of about fifty minutes. The PR t Rio E's'
harriers, on'the same day, hunnfd a hare so gal-
lantly to the edge of Lewes river, near Land_
port, that poor puss, to escape them, found her_
self compelled to cross the water ; but being
followed by the huntsman and some others of the.
field, she fell a vielim to her keen pursuers.—The
sane day the Brookside hounds killed a leash of
hares, and ran a fourth so hard, that she was taken
up alive, and is now in keeping for the diver-
siun of Pedestrian Hunters, before whom she is
to be turned out. on the Downs.

On Monday last at noon, as Mr. Neale, of the
East India House was on his return home, he was
met by a man near the Gun, in the road leading
to Lambeth, who took from him a gold watch,

with which he ran &Aland escaped, though Mr.

EXPENDITURE, DEBTS, DiANUF ACTURES, AND
COMMERCE IA GREAT BRITAIN;

WH tt. F the Croakers of Opposition; and while
even thany well disposed meta are abandoning
themselves to despondent views of otir Financial
situation, the Author of the Work now before us
has undertaken to thew that there is little
foundation for their fears, and that the situation
of England in tBOO, compared with what the
gloomy class to whom we allude, admit to have
been its situation in Fioo; is relatively improv.
ed : that the weight of Taxes is compensated by
the increased means of the People to support
them : and that if the pressure appears enormous,
it must appear so only to those who are ignorant
of the progress of our Commerce and Manufac-
tures. The labours of the Writer on Financial
Subjefts, like those of the Historian, cannot,
from the nature of the subjeß, be original, and it
is no inconsiderable praise to the Author of Fi-
nancial Far: r, that the Fads which he advances
rest on the authority either of Official Papers, or
the most approved works on Political Economy.
The combination and arrangement of his ma-
terials have however such original merit, that
most readers will give him credit for having fur-
nished them with new ideas upon the subjed.—
We do not remember to have seen the following

The Proprietors of East India Stock will be
gratified at geeing the increase of .:Commerce
which a century has produced in their individual
concerns. . • • .

--rc These faEts are obvious, since-we—fittd—that
our Exports now, compared with those in the
beginning of the eighteenth century, have, from
the most accurate .compntation, inc eased , nearly
in a twelvefold proportion : that the. aggregate
amount of Exports and Imports has increased in
a tenfold proportion ; and that the apparent ba-
lance of Trade in our faour at this period,.com -
, it v
pared with a century ago,, is augmentaih the
incredible proportion of one hundred and forty
fold..
.It is to be obierved; than the annual pub-
lic sales of Teas by the East India Company,
did not in'the beginning of the eighteenth cen-
tury, much exceed go,ooo pounds weight :
the Company's annual sales now approach to
twenty. millions of pounds weight, being an in-
crease of four hundred fold in one hundred years.
It is also worthy of remark) that the-late Tax on
Imports and Exports alone, is estimated to pro-
duce for 'Soo no less a sum than r,iso,ocsol.
which is nearly one half the amount of public re-
venue in the year 1700." .

We, A nIrI not Art jnctir t. either to ate Author
or to our Readerh did we not extra& a passage
which, though our limits compel us to make it
shim, .is sufficient to shew that the Credit and
Resources of England have no weak advocate in
the Gentleman who has here ,taken up their cause :
" From every consideration of all these pro-
pitious circumstanoes, have we •not, therefore,
cause for exultation rather than despondency ?
In thus having the sources developed whence'
such immense revenue "is drawn, it must convey
conyiaion to th'e most sceptical mind, of the in-
creasing wealth and prosperity of the Country :
at the same time it will exhibit to our Enemies
the increased energy excited in the Nation from
a continuance of the Content in which we are
now, from dire necessity, engaged ; and will
tend to impress our accumulated Foes with a pro.
per idea of our extensive power, resulting from
the wonderful resources of the Kingdom, fairly
brought into aftion.
Another criterion of the wealth and pro_
sperity 'of a Nation is, the lowness of interest
and augmented value of land. Jn France, at the
yresent moment (iSot), money produces from
It to It per cent, and landed property is only
valued from fourteen to fifteen years purchase.—
In this Country, about an hundred years ao.o, in-
terest was from S.; to ner cent. and landed urn.-

pOty from fiften to eighteen years purchase.--....
But tier:; 'exemplified by the Loan of last
'year, Government may raise money under s per
tent, and landed property is increased from
tWenty-eight to thirty years purchase. Lowness
of interest, as Mr: HUMS obtetves, proceds
from three circumstances) viz. the small demand
for borroWing, great riches to supply that deg
mind, and small profits arising from Comaierce_
And these circumstances‘ are all connected
gether, and proceed from the increase of Indus.
try and Trade, not of gold and silver. Low_
ness of interest) therefore, we find raises the
value of lands and the contrary in an inverse
rade:

The Value of land has progressively
creased in consequence of improvements in Agri—
culture,' as Well as lowness of interest, and the
increased consumption of the prodlice .of the
land. Before England became a trading Nation,
we find the general price of land to have been
twelve years purchase ; and we sec it is little
More at- the present day in Franee„ since their
trade has been almost annihilated,' 'ln the begin-,
ping of the seventeenth century, land sold in
England from fourteen to sixteen ',ears purchase,
and at the comnitneement of the eighteenth century
it had advaneed to about eighteen year Spur..
chase ; k half a century more it rose to about
twenty-four years purchase ; and at fl.-sent, as
we have already observed, it is gen,:r.diy valued
from twenty-eight to thirty years purchase.

" This:increase of the number of .years pur-
chase of land, is the best and most obvious proof
of its augmented value, and is the effat of low..
ness of interest and the increased consumption of
its produce, combined with the general trade of
the Nation.

g‘ The progressive influx of wealth into Great
Britain, bears a proportion still much greater
than the most sanguine Calculator could 'expeeil
since, according to Sir WM. PETTY'S computa.
tion in the year 1664, the total wealth of the
Nation, consisting of lands, houses, shipping,
gold and silver coin, wares; merchandise,' plate,
furniture, &c. amounted only to two inindred and
fifty milliont„ and the whole annual profit he
computed at fifteen millions : Mr. Hobx com-
puted the whole value of real and personal pro.
perty about fifty years ago, at two thousand one
hundred millions sterling. Sir Wm. Po LTENEY,
in about thirty years after, valued the landed and
personal property at tewo thousand millions-. The
total amount of the wealth of Great Britain, con:-
sisting of the value of articles above enumerated,
is at present computed (and we have reason to
believe with sufficient correclnest;) to be no less
than the enormous sum of two thousand seven
hundred millions ; and its whole annual produce
may be fairly estimated at four hundred and five
millions sterling, since the annual, interest
of this accumulated wealth will amount to one
hundred and thirty-five millions. Hence it ap-
pears, that in less than iso .years the national
wealth of Great Britain has increased in the im..
mense sum of t'w Thousand five hundred and ffty
millions; and the annual interest of the said in,.
crease of wealth amounts to upwards of one bun..
dyed and tetoenty-seven millions five hundred Thou-
sand 'sterling. If, therefore, we allow ss per
cent: for the annual profits or produce of such
increase of wealth, it will amount to upwards
of-three hundred- and eigh{y-two millions five
hundred thousand sterling, additional income, in
less than i se) years, being an increase at the rate
csf two millions five hundred and fifty pounds
sterling per annum of general income."

LITERARY lAIPOSTEARE.

A discovery has lately been -mtde of @n,,,cx-
tremely complicated. literary imposture, .oCsvhich
.Germany, France,:and Fnglitnd, have been An:acle
the dupes.'
_ _ _ _

Last year there appeared, at Leipsick, a, Jour-
ney to the East Indies,: and ins:Egypt, performed
by. a Saxon Artificer,oamed Jos,EiH Siantos.DEß.
This traveller relates,.,atnong.other wonders, that
after having .embarked at Pondicherry, ,on ..the
28th of April; 1797, and having assisted .at
naval engagement, year the Coast. of Africa, be.
tween the French and English, he w 4.5 ,taken by
the latter, and landed On, the t6iTt of June, the
wine year, at
,Alexandria, where. the following
year, he was witness' to. the Conquesof that
Country by, the French, &c. Notwithstanding
a heap-of lies, as gross as his rapid passage from
Pondicherry to AleXandria, SCIMOIDER. found
readers, and even encomiasts. .
M. Pmmus, the celebrated professor of Jena,
and 'author of an excellent Supplement to Voi..
viY's Travels, did justice to this cheat, in the
Literary Gazette of Jena. He exposed the ;In;
posture in" the clearest manner, and no person de-
fended

About. the same time appeared .another work,
entitled Travels in AfriCa, .4sia, and America,
by ZACHARIAS TAI.TRINIUS, who was born at
Cairo, in 1758, was.the son of a Cophr, named
STIRISH, and who went by Constantinople to
Riga, and from .thence to Nuremberg, where he
changed his name and religion. He then went
to Wittemberg, in Saxony,. and became a jour-
reyman Printer. M. EBENT, a professor in that
town, and a man
.of merit besides, enriched his
Travels with a Preface, .which served -as A"certi-
feate to ZACHARIAS TAURINIUS. But though
there was nothing absolutely impossible in the
circumstance, that a native of, Cairo should' ,be.
come a printer at
.Wittemberg, the work itself
presenting nothing but ill . selet.led; and ill ar-
ranged extiroas from DaMpiere, Legenlil, Dap-
per, which afforded the clearest proof that this au-
thor had never tarhvelled, except ip his closet.
Scarcely had. the second volume o'f TAu a INIUS
appeared, when a proposal was made to MAR.
!TtNI, a bookseller of Leipsick, to publish an.ac-
count of a Journey made in Africa, by a Car.
penter's Appreraite in Suabia, named DAMBEkt,
ER' • and who also was _residing at Wittemberg,
M. MARTINI, wishing to take his precautions,
went to Witteniberg,- there funned a personal
acquaintance with 'DAMBERCER, and saw the
papers and certificates of every kind, which he
exhibited, after which he 'thought he could no
.longer doubt that this new AnacharsisThad, in
reality, pushed his travels much farther than
any of those who had attempted to penetrate into
Africa. • ..

M. MARTINI made him come to Leipsick,
where he had several interviews and conversa.
tioiis with a geographer employed to make a
chatt bf his journey, and with a roan. of letters,
who was to draw up his rournal. Neither had
any doubt of the truth of his assertions.
All the Journals announced before-hand, the
Travois of DAMEARGER, as one of the most re-
rarkable produelions- of the, age... The book.
sellers of Paris and* of London, had the sheets
sent to them, at a great expence, as they were
printed.
An English bookseller, wilhing.to be before-
hand with two of his brethren, who were enter-
ing into an agreement wirh biro for the .transla_
tion of DAM,DERGER, .disitibuted these. sheets
among six Translators. 'lle` French and gang_

Travels of DAMBERGER. In France, • great
pains Were taken to justify' LE VATLLANT,

with than of his DAMBERGER, and he recog-
nised the-same writing in the three manuscripts.
Be found means to prevail on the person whom
he had,known by the name of bAlvta E RGER, to
return to Leipsick. The latter bciilg warmly:
pressed, at last aCknowledged, that, in-reality,.
