FRUlT.—lngenuity has contrived the means of
supplying the most barren and inhospitable
„coun-
tries with, the hauries of the must exuberaut.—
Peaches, apricots, pear 4, and apples, may gratify the.
palate of the inhabitants of Kamskatka, ahttof the
dreary regions of Nova Zembla, They are thus pre-
pared for exportation,at the Cape of Good Hope.
The three former are dried wcll, after a strong pres-
sure, and are then packed tor future use. The
apples are cut in pieces, and dried in the sun,
'until they appear to have something of the
consistence of leather, and assui-pe the complexion
of a nut. In this state they may be conveyed to the
mit distant, settlements, and when steeped in water
the taste can haidly be distinguished from the fresh
fruit-of the garden.

LETTER IV.
Britannia suis stat viribus non arbitrio alieno pcndet.

SIR, _ s. .
The new French Empire, though raised aloft on
the wreck and tuid of mighty Sovereignties -on the
Continent of E:nrope .yet certainly, betrays an envi-
ous' dread of us, the maritime Sovereign of the
.World ! Hence their querulous.. and. mean abuse !
Hence their womanish hate and vengeance, and their
ridiculous clamour against " Pitts. Gold." Those
who consider the French as superiorly brave, mistake
a sudden effervescence of charaCter for determined
settled resolution ; not aware of the flashy powers of
the brandy bottle, nor of the animatings, influence of
noisy war in n crowd. I would ask, is it true and
worthy.conrage in. the French, first to bespatter,
with tongues dipped in the devil's venom, the good
natne of those with whom they chose to quarrel,
and then complete the mischief, by robbery, rape,
and slaughter ? Read the'King of Prussia's Proclama-
tion to his wretched subjects in Silesia (dated Breslau,
Dec. 5, 1806), wherein he tells, them " that the
enemy (the French), by their cruel manner of mak-
ing war, entirely exhaust the Countries through
which they pass, both by forced requisitions of every
kind, and also by large bodies of marauders,' who
swarm around the armies, and who (incapalAu of
sparing) praelice upon the- inhabitants the most
heart-rending and pernicious cruelty, -.turning culti-
vated lands and hbuses into desarts and ashes, and
every where leaving behind them the traces of the
grossest barbarity, even where the inoffensive natives,
through dread of violence, have been most coin-.
pliant and submissive."
Cowards arc cruel, but thatrave •

" Love mercy, and delight to save I"
We know well enough that if the Finch Could
succeed against this Country, they would lump into
one mass of ruin and destruCtion both friends and
foe ! But thanks be to God ! the native, sturdy, vi-
.gilanl fortitude .of the British charataer (tharcon-
sists in an undisturbed 'doing our. duty, even in the
.midst of hideous evils) will ever., overthrow Frei e
enterprise and bar their success. Our very cocist,
forming a dreadful lee-shore, Make 4 a (boa ai'their
attempts ; also our Fleets off Portsmouth, Plymouth,
and in the Downs.!
_But aJmitting that in,some few
parts of the coast, Opposite to Boulogne and Calais
(where their chief naval force is coller•ted), a •disem-
•barkation (as far as relates to-the land)-ispossible:;
yet, ere the hostile troops (say 20,00 Q men, thdir
artillery and stores) could disembark, our Ships of
war would have time to pounce upoii them, and-run
over them and sink them all. A small squadron of
frigates would run over ,and sink in detail any
'flotilla of French gun-boats, however numerous.
This overwhelming. and crashing plan of de,
small troop-ships, or.small vessels,' has aatnalty
been pra6lised ; tor' in the last war, an English
Merchant ship, of no force in guns; ran over a French
privateer and sunk her outright ;,whereaS it the pri-
vateer had been allowed her distauce, she would
have so mauled her with her guns thai'iL
vessel must have struck and been captured. But S6))=
pose the French) troop-ships should evade the vigi-
lance of our look-out vessels, and . favoured with
what our seamen call a stW breeze, approach our
shires; why then the surf, occasioned by the brisk
easterly wind (which is the only fair 'wind for them)
would be so erounaetdouc tilioireop off eveey soul on
the decks, when the gun-boats touched the ground ;
for the capacity of tkests vessels (owing tip their flat
bottoms) is very shallow below deck, and so low as
to be nut it lure than two feet from the water's edge.
Thus would the French troops meet their fate be-
fore they could reach the iand, having in-front a tre-
mendous sort and lee-shore, and an enetny afloat in
their rear--and such' iiu eneniy as they dread above
alt whers-„even British Seamen, alert and steady,
'adventurous and 401 d, who would certainly enjoy
such a smash of the FrenCh as Much as they would
a bag of biscuit in a hogshead of strong liqUor.

FORGERY ON. THE BANK.---Satarday, at Marlbo-
rangh-street,a young man of interesting:appearance,
who had undergone:2 private examinations pt this of-
fice, wits re-examined-on t lie charge offorging and pub-
lishing forged totes, purp sting to be those of the hank_
of England. Ii bad been discoverixt•by the Clerks
at the Bank, that the number of forged notes in-
creased very rapidly, and every step bad been taken
to trace out the titterers in'vain, until -the beginning
of last week, when a Woman; whose husband fell
a Vittim to the laws of his country. some time since,
fur uttering forged notes, was detthed in the same
ael, at the shop of a grocer, in Oxford-Areet, and
taken into custody, when other notes•of thesarn*i
stamp being tbund on her, she acknowledged having.
purchased a quantity of the forged notes of the male,
prisoner, at six shillings each. The Officers re- '
paired to the lodgings of the young Man, at Ken-
nington, by the information Of the woman, and on
being disturbed; he threw a bag out at the window
of his apartments, containing an immense number
of forgea notes, which were picked up pad deliver-
ed to the Officers. He, however, den4,l ever hav-
ing seen the woman prisoner; but it was proved
that this Woman passed fin his motley, at, his lodg-
ings. Other evidence came out,,, which will pro-
bably bring to justice the real makeri:of the forged
notes, and which we decline stating at present.—
Both Prisoners are remanded for another examina-
tion.•

CHILD STEALING. '
QUEBN-SsavAßE.—On Saturday Ann Beaumont
was-examined on a charge of etripping a child. The
examination went into very considerable length,'
and was to the ' following purport :—On Friday
afternoon the Prisoner came to the shop of a Pawn-
broker, in Green-street, Leicesterlields„ and pledged
a child's frock. The shopkeeper observing the wo7
man leading a child without a frock on, and seeing
her-quit her suddenly , and wish her a good day, l,e
detained her and sent for a Constable; and on her
examination, the child's mother and two oilr:rs ap-
peare:!, and proved the offence. But as the Magi-
s.rat‘i were of opinion that this was the same woman
wto Lad committed so many offences of a similar
dzscription, they remanded her till WeLlhesday
next, that. persons whose ebildred have of late been
1,.
robbed may have an opportunity to attend.

The account of the late affray between the Eng.
lisp sailors and the'. Chinese at Canton, is discredit•
,no advices of that nature having reached Ben•
gal in April last.
Accounts havebeen received from Muscar,by*hich
it appears that the imaum .is inimical. to. the Mei. ~
sures of the Persian Government. The two parties
by which the country was laiely.distraBed have cm-
lesced,!and seem determined to'resist all internal or
pression, while they offer every facility to' the. trade
and commerce of the Gulf. Arabia is now depend.,
eat -on 'lndia for &calla, and hence the coast Is in a
great measure lander our controul. This is a matter
of no small importance when we consider,the
nation of the Turks to favour the designs of the
French, who could find little or no assistance frnin
this quarter, even allowing them to succeed in cross-
ing the Deserts.
Bengal at present engrosses almost all the trade of
cotton and indigo I. even the inferior .sorts.of the ,
latter article, which had been reje6ted by the. Euro‘
pean7 traders, find a ready sale at the native markets.
The mooring chains which were lately laid dowa
for securing ships at Calcutta, promises to be of the
greatest advantage to the trade of that port.
The Retreat, which had some time since been sta-
tiozed to observe the nn.tion of the Ladratne-piratess
has been recalled, and ii about to proceed With a
)aige cargo from Canton to Europe. The vigilance)
of our Cruizers in 'those seas have at !evil nearly
'exterminated those daring freebooters, who for' a
longtime past had been the terror of the Chine Po

`The last letters from Canton, state that the long
dreaded apprehension .cif farnine in China, in collie- •
• ilbence of drought, has ida great measure subsided;
'the rains had fallen plentifully at a very critical period
to pre,erve the crops frofn destruaion. The
crc:ers the people have however suffered excevd-
fr ‘rn the rtvnrice of the dealers in grain, who
!.: quantities atrial article,
which 'they ffailed at such exorbitant priecm, that
Government was:obliged to interfere iu order to pr'
vent public disturbances. .
A macideum will be erected to the Memory of

!.From a statement lately made by the Colleetord
Prince of Wales Iland, it appears that the reverses.
since the arrival of .the• hew Governer, have in-
creased to, the amount of 88,109 Spaidull clollAss
per annum,' and there is every reason to believe 014
will stil► increase ro, the tame proportion.

PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—On Friday Lieutenant Weir

took, in consequence of a wager of five hundred
guineas, to walk from Ipswich to'Whitecharl' a
distance of sixty-nine, miles, in-twenty-four hours,
which he performed with ease in twenty-three hour'
and eighteen minutes. He. went over the first 19-
miles in four hours and a quarter, and had five bolo;
left. to walk the last eleven. He has since .under•-•
taken to ride a favourite mare the same distance:la
five hours for five hundred guineas. This bet is t°
