pondence, so honourable to all the parties mentioned. his
Royal Highness the Duke of YORK is entitled to high praise
for the prompt manner in which he renders the thanks of the
country for the preservation of so many valuable lives. Cap-
tain Cook, for the active humanity displayed in the rescue,
his instant resolution of proceeding to England with the suf-
ferers (taking all responsibility of deviating from a valuable
voyage) and the manner in which he carried his wise and ener-
getic measures into effect, is beyond all commendation.

cumstances attending the destruction by fire on the let instant,
of the lion. East India Company's ship Kent, I am directed
by his Royal highness to assure you of the high sense which
his Royal Highness will not cease to entertain for the merito-

indebted for the preservation of so many valuable lives.

CAu•rrox.—Saturday, a lad was sent will) a
draught to a bank at the west end of tlve town for 1001. Soon
alter he received the money, a well-dressed fellow, who followed
him, accosted him by his name, and said there was a mistake in
the money, which he peremtorily insisted on the lad giving him,
olf,ring him at the same time a spurious check for 220/. to be
cashed at the bank. The lad, however, declined, as he per-
ceived the object of the swindler, who left him disappointed.
It is supposed the fellow obtruded himself info the tr.nk and
saw the check, the name of the drawer, and the amount of the
money. It is probable, that this is the same fellow who swin-
dled a lad by similar means about a fortnight ago in the city.

The last Carlisle Paper says, that much da-
mage has been done at Appleby by mad dogs several have
been pursued and shot. Unfortunately, too, it adds, the scarlet
fever is very prevalent in that town.
The n.a..kerel boats helonv,ing to Mount's-bay
have been tolerably successful. On Monday night they took
froth 400 to 500 each boat, amounting in the whole to 7,0003
which were bought at 50s. a hundred, for the London market.
Four boats only went to sea on Tuesday night, and took about
2,000,
which were purcbased for the same market, and at the
same rates. If the weather should prove moderate, a favourable
' season is.expected. A French vessel has been in the bay to buy
tislt., but the price is as yet too high for tlicm.—( West Briton.)

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MARCIIIS, 105.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived hitt
night. The following are the only extracts

worth giving :

( From the Etoile. )
PARIS, MAncn 12.

It is announced that the troops, who at the desire of King
Ferdinand remained in Spain after the time fixed for the evacu-
ation, will depart on the Ist of April. Two French squadron*
will be stationed on the coasts of Galicia and in the Bay' of
Biscay.

(From the Coustitutionnel.)
PARIS, MARCH 12.

It is positively asserted that the Court of Rome demands at)
indemnity for the comtat of Avignon. What will the Minizarf
do, bowed down under the yoke of the congregations on the
other side of the Alps ? If it satisfies them, it again load,
the country with those enormous burthens, the voting which is
matter of such regret to M. Breton, but which seem light to hi•
Villele, seeing that France has already paid many others, and
that the more money that is drawn from her the richer she be-
comes. If by any chance the Ministry should make any diffi-
culty in sufficiently making up for this spoliation of the church
property, it might risk them loss of place. There is no doubt
that this consideration will determine their acquiescence.
The treaty of Tolentino ought to be sufficient to rebut the
pretensions of the Court of Rome ; but it would, perhaps, he
said that that was not more binding on her than the civil ode
on the emigrants.

Dutch Papers to the 13th instant also arrived
last night. They contain an Ukase from the Emperor ALE%-
AIiDER, permitting the importation, by the ports of Tbe°'
dosia and Kertsh, of several artieles.of Turkish produce 101°
had been hitherto prohibited, on payment of certain duties
This is said to be for the use of the Russian subjeCts professing
the 31ahometan religion ; but it is evidently a Measure of con'
ciliation towards the Porte. Advices from Frankfort state that
an arrangement is in progress between the Courts of Bavaria'
Wurtemburgh, Baden, Nassau, and Hesse Darmstadt, the ob'
ject of which is to reduce the Import and Export Duties for `1.,11
those States to one system, and to allow entire liberty of tra'le
within their respective dominions.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung of the Bth of Marcil
contains the following extract from the Orient-
Spectator respecting the affairs of Greece
which, according to the custom of the Turto
Advocate, are represented in no favourable C°'
lours. We have reason to believe that the ac'
count is highly exaggerated as regards the 111°;
lady prevailing at Napoli di Romania, and that
is quite false with respect to COT,OCOTRONT,
