tured to insert it in yesterday's SUN.—We sin-
cerely regret that all the other Public Journals
did not pay the same respect to the intimation
of his Lordship as we have done, and we must
again declare that we should have continued to
do so, if we had not supposed that nothing re,
mained, after the comprehensive statement in the
Sunday Paper, but his Lordship's decision on the
case. We feel additional regret in learning that
the accounts hitherto given have been materially
incorrect in some important points, and particu-
larly in relation to the conduct of Mr. If AssoN.
All we have to add is,' that our Paper shall be

open to any corrections which may be sent to us
as to whatever mis-statements appear in the case
itself,,or that may tend to cast unjust reflections
upon the character or conduct of any of the in-
dividuals concerned in it.

Mr. Eic-Sheriff PARKINS presided at the dinner
given to HUNT yesterday at the the Eagle Ta-

The conviviality of the company was of
e most uproarious description. The crowd of
iberty Boys who could, not afford to purchase

vern.

heir admission to the feast, remained for several
ours around the house, vociferously demanding
leNT's appearance at one of the windows. The
hject of this clamour was discussed within doors;

and it was formally decided that Mr. HUNT
should not whew himself to the rabble without,

who, being unable to contribute to the entertain-
ment of the Orator, had no manner of right to
any share of his eloquence ! The Hero of the
.day himself,—the " Man of the People,"—con-
curred in this conclusion ;. and, ,forgetting

tat in the morning he had assured his 44 fe

low-countrymen and fellow-countrywomen "
who had assembled to greet him, that " they
might do with him what they pleased," he now de-
clared that he considered himself as the" guest"
only of those who paid for the dinner, and that

he was bound to act as they thought fit to direct!
The cries of the populace without were accord-
ingly magnaniMously disregarded by the Great
Men within ; and it was not until the land-

lord intimated that the mob were about to
pull down the house, that the bon vivants con-
descended to thrust HUNT forward upon a bal-
cony with a couple of candles, to allay the tem-
pest that had been excited by their supercilious
disregard of the will of the sovereign people ! !

CALCUTTA, APRIL 24,.—We understand. that the Report
on the state of the Crops in the Upper Province, including. k
those of Central India, are, generally. speaking, extremely
favourable : so much so, indeed, as to promise .a sale in
some places, at: one.fifth less than the present year;
Decoilr—On the night, of the 20th inst. a Havildar's party,
escorting treasure from Purnea to Titalya, was attacked near
Sowlutgunj and plundered of the whole, to the amount of near-
ly 12,000 Rupees, a part of the pay of the Rungpoor Battalion,
to which corps the party belonged. It appears that' the party
were in a hut when attacked by a body of armed Decoits : there
is no doubt but that they were surprised, as only one,sepOy
escaped unhurt of the whole, and there is no reason to suppose
that a single Decoit was either killed or wounded.
The Havildar says he was not surprised; and estimates the
number which attacked him at about half-past 10 at night, to
be about 400, corning on from four different directions. He
further says that the contest lasted half an hour, and that four
Decoits were killed. Little credit is to be attached to this
statement.

We have received Havanna!' Papers to the
28th September. The Gazette of Havannah,.of the 27th, con-
tains an Essay deprecating the piracies which are so openly
carried on and tolerated in that .island, and expressing 'a belief
that if means are net speedily aclOptedby that Government to
arrest them, their trade will be annihilated and their produce
rot rot upon _their hands.
From the same paper,' it apears that a very considerable de-
ee of excitement exists at the present moment between the
AAmerican Spaniards and the natives of Old. Spain, residents
of the island of Cuba. Several personal combats had taken I
Place between the parties, originating in these. adverse feelings,
and.more serious consequences were apprehended by many.
The Paper of 24th September states, that the infamousbusi-
ness'of piracy is now reduced to a complete system by the Cuba
pirates ; they keep a store-ship in a certain part of the coast
where their plunder is deposited until it can be 'transported to..
Havannab. The brokers in Havannah offer samples of Ja-
maica coffee for sale, of which in one instance they offered to
furnish one thousand bags, which could only have been brought
there by pirates. The new crop of coffee was beginning to
come in, the drought had extended over every part of the island,
and the provision crops were nearly, all cut off.
A private letter dated 23d September says—" No doubt you
have noticed by the Newspapers here, that there is great talk of
establishing this as a place of deposit for every kind of foreign
goods, For the enforcement of this, the Intendant has re9uired
a loan of 400,000 dollars wherewith to cover the deficit that
would necessarily be incurred in the revenue in consequence of
the deposit; and I see by the.subseription list .of to-day, that
300,000 dollars are already subscribed towards it. It is anxi-
' ously expected that the new Tariff of. Duties for this place will
come out next month, the maximum not to exceed 37,i per
cent."

When his , Majesty's ship Morgiana, which
arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday, the Gth instant, was at
Bahia, that city was cloSely besieged by the army of Bra-
zilians, amounting to 20,000 men, but they were said to he
badly armed and accoutred, and much in want of Officers.
General MADERA still held the city for the KING, and it was
the only place in the Brazils that remained to the Crown of
Portugal. The expedition sent from Rio Janeiro by the
PRINCE, consisting of a large frigate, and three or four other
ships of war; had effected nothing, as the harbour was
blockaded by a fleet of armed merchant ships, hastily fitted
out by General MADE n A on the occasion. Their appearance
was formidable enough to prevent the PRINCE'S squadron
from attempting to enter the harbour. Both squadrons had
been several days in sight of each other without exchanging a
shot; and the Rio fleet had at length retired, but are supposed
to have landed some Officers for the lnsurgeut army. The
KING'S ..garrison at Bahia were always under arms, as many
of the inhabitants are disaffected. Some reinforcements at,.
rived from Lisbon during the Illorgiana's stay. The be-
sieging army had cut off all comniuntcation with the interior,
so that the business was at a stand, and provisions could scarce-
ly he procured ; cattle were not to be obtained at any price.—

A packet has arrived from Rio de Janeiro with
letters to the 14th of September. No political
events of any. importance are mentioned. Sir
THOMAS HARDY sailed on the 14th from Bahia
for the protection of the English trade there.—

cargo of dollars,
