A Correspondent at Dumfries infoimS uS, that
the subscription for the Mansrileum to be erected
over the. remains of BURNS, continues to increase,
and that hand Some sums have been remitted to
the Treasurer from,several towns in England.
A Meeting of the Scotch in London, who feel ah
admiration for the greatest Bani that ever their
native land prod iccd, would, we are assured, be
so beneficial in its results, as to ensure this plan
being carried into execution in a manner becom;•
ing the hononr of Scotland. Any measure of the
kind shall have the wartue,t support of this Jour-
nal.—Sun-Of/ire.

The Tallow-chandlerS in about London, in c0n....
sequence, wetrust, of what appeared in this Paper
last week, have dropped the price of Candles one
peany in- the pound. This is so far good, anti we
rejoice more an the notion of. being even of such
bumble use to the Community at large than in
any other part of. our labours. But a penny a
pound is not enough.; and their Customers should
ioniml them continually that the Whale Fisheties
have this year been unusualy successful ; th)it all
kinds of Russian produce tas been imported in
uncommon abundance, and at reduced rates ;, and
that, in a neighbouring county, this Commodity
is sold at I
Od. and not I 4d.per lb. ! !

It appears that in the destruction of the Gene-

'Roads, our loss was very
.considerable.—About
the 28th ult. the Plantagenet,' 74, Capt. LLOYD,
Rota; Capt. SOMERVILLE; and Carnation, Capt.
BENTHAM, arriving off Fayal, a neutral port be-
longing to the Portuguese,, and one of the Azores,
perceived a large schooner lying in the Roads
A.boat with a Lieutenant was immediately'dis-
patched to the shore to asCertain her force, and
to what nation she belonged ; but the tide
fling strong, the boat drifted near the schOoner,
which was then getting under weigh ; after hail-
ing.bA., and desiring the boat to keep off, which
was impractiCable, from the schoOner having Si)
much stern way, she fired into the boat, and
killed seven men. The remainder returned with
the boat to the 'squadron, and .the Commodore
considering the neutrality broken by this. outrage,
innnediately ordered the Carnation in to destroy
the privateer, but the wind being light and varia-
ble, the Carnation made a signal for boats to tow ;
nine boats were accordingly dispatched, with three
. Lieutenants and about two hundred men, but nut
being able. to get the Carnation near .enough, it
being rocky, ,the boats proceeded to destroy the
vessel, and finally set her on tire, but,not till we
had 'suffered a most severe loss in men and oil-
cers... Oa the approach of the bottts a most' de-
structive fire was opened from a :.32-pounder amid-
ships on board the privateer, tilled with langrige,
nails, knives, buttons, and other destructive mat-
ter. Lie crew of the privateer then escaped ott
shore, and fired on our men, who were ultimately
de.er.o) the Atuerica(L Lieutenants iii.lTrEa

FACE anti NORMAN', Of the Rota, were killed ; and
Lieut. BowEasmix, of the Plantagenet, reccivcki
a shot through his lungs ; altogether we suffered
