fear of exposing them to dis:asel. A small detachment was
left as a Guard of Honour to the King of Sidenring, who with
his people continued tie siege.

In this critical situation of the Government of Macassar, it is
to be hoped that the reinforcements will arrive in time to clear
our territory t.f these bands, whose object is plunder, and v, ho
if they can be kept within their own territory, will be suffi-
cient:y punished by tile famine that prevails there.
Letters from Uheribon state, that a few days before a terrible
fire had destroyed,66 houses, and many stables, &c. at Kcebang.
Another destructive fire had taken place in the district of
Pamansekan.

On the Gth of last month 3luntok, the capital of Baxica wa ,
almost entirely destroyed by a dreadful tire. A very high east
wind baffled every effort to stop the progress of the flaw s;
only the Government engines and a very few houses were saved
by the exertions of the garrison. The native and Chinese po-
pulation are reduced to the greatest misery by this event. The
generosity of the Europeans is exerted to the utmost, and the
resident has taken every measure that the circumstances allow.
Letters received from Malacca say, that in August last two
French ships of war arrived there, viz. the Thetii frigate,
Capt. Bougainville, and the Esperance corvette, Captain Du
Camper : they stopped to repair some damage sustained by the
corvette or; the voyage.—These two vessels, which sailed from
Brest in March last year, were bound on a special mission to
Manilla, and put to sea again after a wort stay.

Peter, which sailed in March to the Persian Gulf, arrived here
the 9th, after a voyage of BO days. It sailed with a cargo of
sugar, tin, lion, and some presents, under the direction of a Go-
vernment Agent, for Persia, and has brought in return various
persian goods and 50 fine horses. We hear that the consign-
ment was extremely well received in Persia, and that much in-
clination
,was shewn to renew. our ancient commercial inter..
course. We learn also thatsthe Government has received very
friendly letters and presents from the Imam of Muscat ar d
Sheik of Bushir.

The liamburgh Papers of the 29th ult. have
also been received. A Stockholm Paper says,
that a new Tariff is under consideration, and

(From the Etoik, doted Wednesday, 4th of May.
ROME, Arum 21.
The King and Queen of the two Sicilies having expressed an
ardent desire to participate in the indulgence of the jubilee, ha
Holiness has dispensed with their going through all the usual
stages, provided their Alajesties will first perform the duties
prescribed such on confessien and coma ulii n.
At the request of their Majesties, the same favour has been
granted to all the individuals in their suite. On the 15th, the
august travellers received the sacrament from the hands of the
Pope himself.
This pious ceremony was followed by a splendid breakfast,
served in the library of the Vatican.
Their Majesties continued to visit, not only all the monu-
ments of the arts, but likewise the ateliers of all the artists who
enjoy some reputation.
CIIAMBEIL OF DEPUTIES, MAT 2.

•M. Ugarte, while in favour, had suppressed the ancient cus-
tom by which the Council of State met once in a week, and
supplied it by a Council of Ministers, which being composed
of a smaller number of persons, offered less opposition 10 his
will; but immediately after his departure, the King ordered
the meetings of the Council of State to be resumed, the absent
Councillors to be recalled, and a purification to be made of
those who exercised their functions during the Constitutional
Government, in order that those who succeed in purifying them-
selves may resume their seats in council.
M. Calomarde has now acquired such ascendancy over the
King's mind as to alarm M. Zea, who does not venture to leave
the King for 24 hours together, apprehending that in this space
the King might consent to dismiss him, which would have hap.
pened at Toledo but for the too great exultation of the people
of that city. "

The Ilioniteur of Tuesday, May 3, contains, in
.he official part, an ordinance of the King, de-
termining the manner of executing the law rela-

tive to the Dente assigned as an indemnity to the
emigrants.

Brussels Papers to the sth inst. also reached
us last night. They state that an immense number of couriers
from all nations daily passed through that city, which showed
that, notwithstanding the settled look of Continental affairs, the
present was a period of prodigious diplomatic activity. Letters
from Constantinople of a recent date affirm that the Egyptian
troops, after obtaining a few successes in the illorea, had been
surrounded, and overpowered by a general rising of the Greeks.
Letters from Breslau say that the demand for linen for exporta-
tion had greatly increased in consequence of the reduction of the
duties in England.

The LORD CHANCELLOR last night complained
in the House of Lords that whenever a petition
against the Catholic Claims was brought up, it
was sure to be stigmatized as not being the pe-
tition of the persons it purported to come from.

" Some Noble Lord every night repeated an
account he had received of the manner in
which the petition had been got up, but it gene-
rally proved, as he believed was the case in
the present instance that the information was in-
correct." There is a very great deal of truth in
this observation, which serves to shew how little

pa Lion have as
