LONDON, SEPTEMBER 16, ISoz.

WE this morning received the lifon;teur of the
I tth inst. We have extracted the only article
of intelligence it contains, viz. a Letter from
Citizen BERTIN, the Colonial Prefer} of Marti-
,
n;que. He says the Colony is in a state of tran-
quillity, and that he daily experts the arrival of
the Armament destined to take possession of that
island.
The Price of the French Funds is not mentioned.

A Hamburgh Mail arrived this morning, but as
we received Papers of the same date which it brings,
by the Dutch Mail yesterday, we have nothing
to communicate from it that is new to our Readers.

Yesterday a Court of ' Dire6lors was held at the
India-House, when Captain j.' F. Timmtrts was
sworn into the command -of the new ship, building
by ROBERT ANDERSOINT, Esq. for St. Helena, Ben-
coolen, and -China. The Court adjourned at six
o'clock till Wednesday next.
The Court of Direflors of the East India Com-
pany have been pleased to present to Captain Wm.
IVlorrArx, of their ship the Phanix, the sum of
Five Hundred Guineas ; also Two Thousand
Pounds to he divided among the Officers and. CreW
of the above ship, for their gallant conduct in en-
gaging and capturing the ship,Genera/ Malartic,
French Privateer, in the Bay of Bengal, last season.

The Court of D•ireftors have permitted the ship
the burehess of Portland to proceed to the East-
ward of the Cape of Good Hope this season', on the
Southern Whale Fishery.
Sixteen vessels, fitted out from Holland for the
Greenland Whale Fishery, are all returned, hav-
ing caught in the whole 6z Fish.
The Earl of Ross died in Ireland last week. By
his death the Colonelcy of the 32d Regiment be-

arrivals at Brighton.
Mr. EIUKIIIIE has gone to France by the way of
Brighton and Dieppe. He will probably reach
Paris before Mr. Fox leaves it.
Lord TruntLow is completely reconciled to his
(laughter, Mrs. BROWN, who now lives domesti-
rated with him at Brighton. She was always sup_
Posed to be his favourite. her husband is, we be-
lieve, gone to America. The PRINCE of WALES
is more in Lord Turßi.ow's company than in that
of any other family at Brighton.
Besides the Public Dinner given at the Thuil-
Pries on the day of the last Review, we find that
Mr. FOX, Lord R. SPENCER, General FITZ-
FATRICK, Mr. ST. JOHN, Mr. ADAIR, Mr.HARE,
&c. dined in private with BONAPARTE two days
after.

Madame LASNES, it seems, does not appear in
this Country the very beautiful woman she was re.:
presented. This is a strong test of the pre-eminent
beauty of English women.
Mr. WEST has exhibited one of his Pi4ures at
Faris, in the Saloon appropriated to the perform_
paces of Modern Artists in the Louvre, a circurn.
stance which has given great satisfaaion there.
The number of &ig iah in Paris is already dimi-
nished one half. By the last returns of the Police
.they amounted to Eight Thousand, and that number
will probably much diminish before the approach of
Winter, which in Paris is no very comfortable sea.

We are desired to say, that the Hon. Mr.
EARDLEY is at Paris, and consequently was not
present at Sir FaAtsicts BußQErr's dinner on Mon-
day last ar Blackwall. The Hon. Mr. EARDLEY, as
well as his Noble Father, is too much attached to
the Constitution of this Country to have any con-
cern in celebrations. His younger brother,
Colontl EARDLEY, was, indeed, present on the occa-
sion alluded to, not however induced by any motives
Of a political kind, but merely as an acquaintance
of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and from the natural
curiosity of youth to view a scene 9f such an.ex-
.t:aoritraty description.
Sir FRANC'S BURDETT' and his Friends mean to
stake merry while they can. A Dinner is ordered
`at Stanmore next week for. the Rabble of that part
of the Country.—it is surely fair to ask, who de-
frays all this enormous expense, and what is the ob-
jeki of it ?

Things in Norfolk seem perfectly harmonized
since the c10,,e of the Scrutiny. Mr..COE and Sir
3 Acos A'.7LEY are appointed Stewards of the Mu-
Sicnl Festirual at Ncevnek.

An attempt it seems is made to raise the Funds,
by anonymous Letters, threatening the lives of cer-
tain eminent Monied Men. Mr. Anotfymous, we
qprehervi, will find very little credit in the City,
iind will Make small impression on the Funds.
