DEVONPORT, FEB. 28.—0 n Monday, the inhabitants of this
,place assembled at the Guildhall, (N. Lockyer, Esq. Mayor,
in the Chair,) and agreed to petition Parliament to ameliorate
the condition of the Negroes inour Colonieti, that they may
progressively be endowed with the rights and privileges of
the other classes of his Majesty's subjects. The Active
sailed on Tuesday, with sealed orders. The 6.lst Regiment,
in this garrison, are 'under orders to embark for Ireland ; to
be relieved by the 72d, from Jersey. The 2d Veteran Bat-
talion goes to Jersey. The Tamar, for foreign service, is gone
into the Sound. The Essex convict ship, going from this port
to Dublin, under the orders of Mr. Raven, Assistant-Master
Attendant, and a party of ordinary men, captured a smuggler,
from Flushing, valua& at 20,0001. The smuggler mounted 10'
guns and 30 men, whilst the Essex had . not a single gun on
board, nor an ounce of powder; but her formidable appearance
suddenly coming upon them, frightened the smugglers. The
Royal William, 120 guns, is ordered to be built at Pembroke
dock-yard.

A letter from Warsaw snys—" On repairing the
roads at Lesnowala, a stone statue of colossal siee was dug up,
representing Kasirnir, the great King of Poland."- -
A Continental Paper observeS, that the corinec.
tion between school youths and soldiers, as banditti, would not
seem to be confined to Upper Bavaria alone, for on the 31st
January the Court of Assizes at Strasburg pronounced judg-
ment on four young persons who were implicated in seven con-
siderable robberies. In Italy, too, according to a late account
from Rothe, several youths had been apprehended who had run
away from their parents, and who had been guilty of various
delinqUincies.
