GERMAN PAPERS.

HA A RLE,M, ArRIL 23.—The Anti-Revolutionary Jour-
nals in Wlgiutn assert, that M. Thorn, Belgian Governor
of Luxemburg, who was lately brought as a prisoner into
the fintress of that name, had got himself put into confine-
ment of his own free will and desire, in order to follow
the example of M. Feuchiere, who has lately been par-
doned by the King. The revolutionary papers however
say, be was taken by some of Tornacos' followers near his
country seat, situated on the territory, which by the 24
articles is to be separated from Belgium. The Belgian
Ministers speak of the violation of the rights of nations,
(though the Government of his Majesty the King of the
Netherlands has never yet recognised a separate Govern-
ment in Belgium, and could not do so) and talk of mea-
sures to obtain satisfaction.—Haarlem Courant.

(The Haarlem Paper gives also the accounts of the affair
inserted in the Brussels Papers.)

BREDA, Aram 22.—An Erglish courier, with de-
spatches, who came from London by way of Calais, was
obliged yesterday, because both those places are infected
with the cholera, to wait at the gates of this town until
instructions could be received from the Hague whether he
might ride through. It seems that an answer was received
by the telegraph, that the English Ambassador wid send
somebody hither to receive the papers. It is reported that
this courier brings the news of the ratification by all the
Powers.

VIENNA, APRIL 15.—A division of the King of Wir-
temburg's regiment of Hussars arrived in this city yester-
day. It takes the place of the regiment of Light Horse,
the three last divisions of which will fellow, the first in
three days. Three battalions of Lanewehr, have marched
through the city to Inner Austria, where they will wait
for further orders, and whither several batteries of
field artillery are said to be ordered from Hungary.
Tie debates in the Chambers of several German States,
and still more the language of many German Journals at-
tract the attention of the public, especially of the commer-
cial world, in which they excite apprehensions which it is
to be hoped will he speedily dispelled by the various pre-
cautions of the Getman Government. Scarcely any
doubt now remains of the speedy departure of the French
from Ancona, and the amicable arrangement of that affair.
People talk of a note from Don Miguel to the English
Government, from which a peaceabie settlement of the
affairs of Portugal may be expected. Desirable as such an
issue would be on all accounts, the existence of such a note
seems to be very improbable, when we consider Dun Mi-
guel's character. The riots in Paris on the breaking out.
of the cholera afford a new proof of the irritable imagina-
tions of the French, of the ignorance and credulity of the
lower classes, and unhappily, perhaps, also of the influence
of anarchy on these too easily excited people. Here at
Vienna,
when the cholera broke out with great violence,
the whole of the inhabitants were eager to assist each
each, and the frightful disease passed over without the
slightest confusion. Thanks to the paternal care of our
Government, by which the sick were properly attended to,
theindigent poor are provided with work, and those who
ate unable to work, liberally supported. There is a report
in circulation that the Emperor will make a journey next
month to the Littorale and Venice.—dilgemeine Zeitung,
April 21.

A TYPE.—.An ingenious author, whose con-
stitution had suffered tnuch from the use of medicine,
wrote a treatise condemning drugs and purgatives, in
which he contended, that the woes consequent on the pour-
ing out of the vials in the Revelation are typical of the
ills which arise from taking physic.
NEW EDITION OF THE COOK'S DIC-
TioNAttr.—We are requested to state that a new edition of
this work, comprehending a considerable body of new
receipts, a series of modern bills of fare, and numerous en-
graved designs of the most fashionable modes of laying
out the tat,le, will he published next week by Messrs. Col,
Buns and BENTLEY. The volume contains upwards of
5,000 of the most approved and modern receipts in
cookery, confectionary, brewing, baking, and every other
branch of domestic economy. The alphabetical arrange-
ment, now first adopted, will enable the houaeketper to
find any receipt in an instant.
IMPORTANCE OF A NOSE.—M. SACHOT
was pleading for a bt.ker, whose nose, or part of it, had
been pulled off by a neigh our in a quarrel in the street.
The alvocate on the other side, who scarcdy possessed a
nose at all, in the course of his speech attempted to turn
the whole matter into ridicule. "My brother," said
SACIIOT, in his reply, "seems to treat the matter lightly--
vet), probably he thinks a note is of no consequence."
COCKLE'S PILLS.—" We understand that
many eminent physicians and surgeons in this quarter of
the globe, as well as in the East and West Indies,
have of late recommended the Compound Antibilious
Pills, prepared by Mr. COCKLE, apothecary, 18, New,
Ormond-street, Queen-square, London, incases of deceased
liver, painful obstructions of the bowels, distressing head-
ache, and obstinate bilious affections, as have hitherto re-
sisted the usual means of cure. There can be no doubt,
therefore, that this medicine possesses virtues far supe-
rior to any ever offered to the public notice ; and as it
exerts a peculiarly specific action on the liver, the stomach,
and the bowels, it removes at once every predisposition to
disease. We hear this respectable medicine is in very ge-
neral use, and is attaining the highest popularity., —Sun-
day Times, April 1, 1832.

By order of the Commissioners,
C. A. SCOVELL, Secretary.
Custom-house, London, April 24, 1832.

A private letter from Canton of the 23(1 of
December, received this morning, explains the manner in
which the communication to the Viceroy, brought by
Captain FREEMANTLE from Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK,
was to be received, in which means appear to have been
ingeniously devised to inflict a new insult on the English.
It had been intimated that a mandarin of rank would be
sent to receive the said letter in a large hall outside the
city wall, near the river, and close to the place where the
last sentence of the law is generally carried into effect,
known by the name of " Execution-dock." The hall is
used for the reception of foreign Ambassadors, or " tribute
bearers," as the Coinese style them. The Viceroy had re-
fused to admit Captain FRKEMANTLE into the city, or to
send a mandarin to the Company's hall. The Challenger
and Clive ships of war were still at Canton ; but could do
nothing without further instructions from the Admiral,
Sir EDWARD OWEN, of whose coming on to Canton,how-
ever, some doubt had begun to be entertained. h is
understood from the best information current in the city,
that the reference by the factory of the question regarding
the conduct of the Ct.inese to the Governor-General of
India is wholly disapproved of by the board of Directors,
and that they are dissatisfied also with the proceeding of
the Select Committee in suspending the trade at all, which
they do not conceive to have been warranted under the
circumstances of the case.— Times.

Mr. GA LT'S new tale, entitled " Stanley
Buxton," has been pronounced to be equal, in its humorous
illustration of Scotch characrer, to his " Annals of the
Parish" and " Ayrshire Legatees." The incidents, how-
ever, which characterize " Stsnley Buxton" take a wider
range than the former works of the author, and develop
the history of a young man, educated as a Peer of Eng-
land, but thrown by a singular train of circumstances on
his wits for subsistence. London is the chief scene of
the story, and the reader is 'nide acquainted with the
trials and sufferings through which a person must go who,
without friends, has to seek his fortune in the metropolis.
The peculiar genius of Mr. C.tLT harmonizes admirably
with the stern reality of the subject.

EXETER.—Among the fairs at Broadclist,
about five miles from this city, on the Bath road, is one
held annually in the month of April, and was so this year
on the 2d instant. The day after is devoted by the peo-
ple of the place to holyday, and among the games
and pastimes set on foot it is usual for one to
be placed in the situation of a Judge, before whom
all such as can be laid hold of are brought, and real or
imaginary peccadilloes being urged against them by a
sham prosecutor, they are of course convicted and amerced
in penalties for liquor, in proportion to their supposed
means ; in default of payment of which, they are made to
"ride the pole." This is being placed astride a rather
slender pole, which is borne on the shoulders of the
bystanders, and may be conceived to be anything rather
than a comfortable position. The situation of Judge, it
is said, has been filled for 21 years by Prirt.te BUSTARD„
a small farmer ; and on the day in question, with all
the consequences, if not the dignity of office, he was
seated in a chair of large dimensions, and mounted on a
table. As usual, all was fun and frolic, and boisterous
jollity prevailed, until a labouring man of the name of W.
TUCKER, 51 years of age, was brought before him. The
charge was regularly made, and the offence being declared,
proved, he was mulcted in a small sum for ale. This,
from want of means or otherwise, he resisted, and a loud
cry was raised of "to the pole." This also he manfully
resisted, when, finding they bad a troublesome customer,
the Judge quitted his seat, and JOHN CHING, a labouring
nun, seized the unfortunate TUCKER, with a view
to fore
hip and reduce him to obedience. He was afflicted with
hernia, and the struggle was fatal, such injury being in-
flicted that, after languishing until that day week, he died.
The inquest was. taken before one of the Coroners for
Devon, when the Jary returned a verdict of " Manslaughter
against PHILIP BUSTARD and JOAN CHING," and On
Wednesday last they were, on the Coroner's warrant, I,idge
in tire county gaol, in order to take their trial, for the
offnce.....Excier Flying post,

Yesterday the eight men who have been for some
time past in custody on a charge of smuggling, and
who had previously undergone several examinations
in private, were brought before Mr. HALLS, for the
purpose of being publicly examined.
Mr. WALFORD, the Solicitor for the Customs, ap-
peared in support of the prosecution, and Mr. Lang-
ham attended as solicitor for the prisoners.
Mr. WALFOOD observed that the prisoners were
charged with having violated the Act of the 6th of
George IV., cap. 108, sec. 66; which provided
that if any three or more persons should assemble in
arms for the purpose of running uncustomed goodi,
or assist in the illegal landing of the same, that every
such person so convicted should be deemed guilty of
felony without benefit of clergy.
Henry Best belonged to the Coast Guard, and on
the night between the Ist and 2d of February ob-
served a smuggling boat come on shore at Camber,
where he was stationed on duty. At the time the
boat reached the shore there were about fity men on
the beach, and they were proceeding to land the
cargo, when four of the Coast Guard, who had been
concealed close by, rushed from their biding-places,
and they and witness drove the smugglers back, and
endeavoured to prevent the landing. An armed
party belonging to the smugglers then came down
to the beach, and fired at a body of the Coast
Guard, who were advancing to aid witness and the
other four men of his party. Witness heard three
or four reports. Three of the Coast Guard were
wounded by the smugglers. The men so wounded
were named Edmund White, Charles Poulton, and
Howard L. Parry. " The tub men" of the strug-
glers, on this, flocked towards the boat, and three or
four of ther companions attacked witness—one with
a musket, and the other with bats. Witness was
knocked down, and was unable to speak to the iden-
tity of either of the prisoners.
Edmund White, also belonging to the Coast
Guard, remembered the occurrence alluded to
by the previous witness. This witness also failed
to identify'either of the prisoners.
James Christian Piles, an approver, was a la-
bourer, and lived at Rye. He was out on the night
of the Ist of February. He was hired to go by
James Standing. At seven o'clock that night he
set off with 30 or 40 more for Camber station, and
concluded that they were going for smuggled goods
for Sanding. They met at Boon's-bill-bridge, and
acrossstatio nt,h ewfiheelrdes
tandhey throughatrithearrived
about marshesh half-
past to
pplosCre:reeadelbe,edr About twenty men fell in with them on
their way, and the party, on their arrival, consisted
of from 60 to 70 men. A shot was fired, and a
man named Booth told them to go forward. They
went towards the beach, and as they approached
there was a good deal of firing. Four or five men
were armed with bats. They retreated in conse-
quence of the firing . They retreated by order of
the men with the bats. The prisoner, William
Noakes, was one of the " bat men." They then
went on the beach to get the goods. Witness
carried away three tubs. They smelt .'ell.—(A
laugh ) Other men also carried away "goods" from
the beach. Ten or 12 of the party were armed
with guns. He delivered his three tubs to James
Standing, near Mr. Morris's farm, at Thornhill, and
Charles Reynolds paid him for his trouble in Stand-
ing's presence, about a fortnight afterwards. At
the same time Reynolds gave him 15/. Bs. to pay
the other people. Witness, and as he verily be-
lieved, the other " tub men," were ignorant that
arms were to have been used. Had they been aware
of it they would not have gone.

Thomas Bashford, also an approver, had likewise
been of the party. He was now obliged to use
crutches, having been wounded in the knee with a
He was a labourer, and lived at Brookland,
in Kent. He knew both the prisoners. Witness
and about a dozen others went out to carry some
tub=. Witness was hired for the purpose by Tho-
mas Highland. They met the " blue sheep" (i. e.
the preventive men) about two miles from the beach.
By Mr. LA:Nut-um—Witness engaged Coleman to
go out to carry the tubs. Neither witness nor Cole-
man hid the least idea that there was to be an
armed party. Near the pound Noakes and another
man- told witness to go no farther.

Mr. HALLS said that to constitute the charge of
felony it would be necessary to prove that the ac-
cused wire either armed themselves, or assisting
those who were armed. As far as regarded the pri-
soner Noakes, there was a clear case ; but he (Mr.
Halls) did not think that enough had been proved
against Coleman.
Mr. Walford expressed his willingness to bow to
the Magistrate's decision.
Mr. HALLS according discharged the prisoner Coleman, and asked Noakes if he wished to say
anything in his defence.
Noakes declined to make any observation, and
was removed by the gaoler.
William Baker, Charles Adams, Thomas Cloake,
and Benjamin Stritton, were next brought in, and
p!aced at the bar for examination on distinct charges.
Thomas Strong resided at Hythe, and was em-
ployed in January last in the Preventive Service as
an extra man. At the latter end of January, or the
beginning of February, he was stationed at Fort
Twiss, near Hythe, and recollected that about half-
past three in the morning, a boat came ashore. Wit-
ness, who was alone, fired a signal, and then several
smugglers came over the beach to the boat, as wit-
ness supposed, for " goods." When they saw wit-
ness they said" Keep back," and went to the boat.
Daws, the chief boatman of the Coast Guard, and
another blockade man, named Biyan, came up, when
the smugglers insisted on landing what was in the
boat, and repeated to the Coast Guard," Keep back
bat men among them. The " tub men" .carried
you ---, keep back l" There were five or sixd
away the tubs inland, towards Hythe. The tubs
smelt of spirits. Lieutenant Ross joined witness's
party on the beach, and they followed the smug-
glers as far as the market-place of Hythe,
and there
came up with them. Lieutenant Ross was knocked
down, but witness could not tell by whom. Wit.

ness was himself also knocked down, but was not
much hurt. They pursued the smugglers isle
hilt above Hythe, and through a narrow lane.
Mr. HALLS asked whether the witness could iden-
tify any of the prisoners ?
The witness replied in the negative. He, how-
ever, knew Adams and Baker. They lived at
Hythe.
By Mr. LANGHAM—Mr. Thomas Ross was a
Lieutenant in the Navy, and was stationed at Fort
Twiss on the 29th of January last. In the dead of
that night he was called up by an alarm of a " run."
The battery was immediately on the beach. Wit-
ness went along the beach in the direction
of the parties firing, and fund DEWS, the chief
boatman, wounded. Witness asked which way the
smugglers went, and having been told " towards
Hythe," witness ordered Strong to follow him
,in
that direction. They came up with the smugglers
in the market-place of Hythe, where witness saw
four or five bat-men, who stopped as witness ap-
proached. Witness was about to seize one of them,
when another of the party instantly struck him a
severe blow on the head; the blow stunned him
considerably, but he did not fall; he then endeae
roused to cloie with the man he had attempted to
seize, and raised a pistol with his right hand as high
as his strength would allow; be fired, and believed
the bullet must have struck the smuggler in the
thigh; seeing that he did not fall, witness struck
him on the head with the pistol, and he and wit-
ness fell at the same moment; when witness got
up, he fell heavily against a garden-wall, and lost
his pistols • subsequently hearing that Strong had
been knocked down, witness proceeded towards
the beach to procure assistance, and on his way met
four or five of his own men; he got a pistol from
one of them, and recommenced the pursuit, and
again came up with the smugglers about a quarter
of a mile beyond Hythe; one of them turned round
and told us to keep off, at the same time discharg-
ing a piece, which he carried, at witness's parry;
one of witness's men was wounded by the shot;
witness's men fired in return, and the smugglers
t etreated.
, By Mr. LANGHAM---Witness could not undertake
to identify any of the prisoners engaged in this
transaction. Neither did he see the goods run.
George Pitcher was a labourer, and lived at
Hythe. He heard of the run of goods at Fort
Twiss. It occurred about two months ago, but he
knew nothing about the transaction. He recol-
lected what he had said about a fortnight ago at
this office, but what he then stated was not true. He
knew nothing about the affair himself, and Mr. Ross
told him to say all that he had said. A book was put
into witness's hand in the front room at this office, but
he could not recollect that he was required to speak
the truth. What he then said was read over to
him, but he did not know now, if lie was asked,
whether or not it was true. He did not know
whether what he said on that occasion was true or
false.
Mr. WALFORD observed that the witness bad
been guilty of gross prevarication, and offered to
produce his former deposition.
Mr. LANGHAM asked if the statement referred to
had been made in the presence of the prisoners?
Mr. WALFORD admitted that it had not.
Mr.LANGIIA3I then objected against its production.
Mr. HALLS said that the objection was good :
the witness's former statement could not now be
received in evidence.
The witness was then re-sworn, and Mr. Watford
told him that if he were found to deviate from the
truth be should apply to the Magistrate for his
committal.
The witness then proceeded-s-lie was out on the
night of the 29th of January, and knew Fort
Twiss; had been there to " run" goods on the
night in question. He carried two tubs away, and
thought it was the prisoner Stritton who paid him
75., as he supposed, for the job. Srritten told wit-
ness he was to go to a field or ox pastures Witness
went there, and from thence proceeded to West
Hythe, where he found it company of people. They
then went to Twiss Fort at about six in the even-
ing, and got there after dark. Witness took two
tubs out of the boat, and carried them into the
country and left them in a field. He heard the re-
port of fire-arms, and saw flashes, but did not see
any fighting; neither did he see any men with bats
or fire-arms. He thought he sax Stritton at West
Hythe, but was not certain if it was Stritton whom
he saw. He had a stick in his hand ; and another
man, whom witness took for the prisoner C:oake,
had also a stick in his hand. Witness, at the time,
believed these men to be the prisoners Stritton and
Cloake, and he saw no reason to doubt it now. As
they were going towards Ilythe witness saw a man
whom he took to be the prisoner Baker, and who
had a bat. Witness did not see Stritton, Cloake,
or Baker, acting as leaders. A man dressed like a
gentleman was their leader. He was a stranger to
witness. Witness also saw a person named Eldridge
with a bat in his hand.
Mr. WALFORD said that the evidence of this wit-
ness closed his case.
Mr. LANGHAM observed that there was no evi-
dence whatever against the prisoners, except that of
the last witness, who had so grossly prevaricated
as to be undeserving of credence even upon his
oath.
Mr. HALLS replied that, although he did not
mean to commit the prisoners for trial upon the
very suspicious evidence of the witness Pitcher, he
was still of opinion that there was sufficient proved
to warrant their further detention. The magistrate
then ordered the prisoners to be remanded for fur-
ther examination until the 10th of May next..
Spencer Gutsall and Robert Gutsall (brothers)
were next put to the bar; but there being no case
proved against them, they were discharged.
Q UEEN- SQUARE.
Two Westminster youths were charged on suspi-
cion of stealing fifteen sovereigns from a cow-boy,
named John Archdeacon, in the service of Mr.
Thomas, a milkman, in William-street.
The unlucky cow-boy had, by great economy.
saved fifteen sovereigns. He was, however, much
addicted to spouting and giving recitations ; his de-
livery and reading were not much approved of by
his friends; he determined, therefore, to take a few
lessons in elocution, and the prisoners engaged to
attend him at his lodgings. A few nights ago, one
was showing him how a speech should be spoken,
when he dropped asleep,wearied by his milk duties,
and on his awaking he found the young gentlemen
gone. He, however, did not miss his money from
his room till two days after.
As there was no other evidence, the magistrates
thought the charges were unsustained, and the de-
fendants were discharged.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday a servant girl from the sister isle was
charged with robbing her mistress, Airs. Maria Ben-
jamin, of Montague-street, Spitalfields, of a quantity
of jewellery and wearing apparel.
The prosecutrix commenced her charge against
the prisoner by first stating that she had only been
in her service seven weeks.

The prosecutrix, in continuation, stated that, on
Saturday last, in consequence of missing, on a former
day, several articles of apparel, and on that day the
bottoms of a pair of diamond ear-drops, she charged
the prisoner with being the thief, but which she de-
nied.
Mr. BENNETT—What were the diamonds set in ?

In the file of papers last received from Wash-
ington, we find a discussion of same interest, at least
to commercial men, relative to a treaty lately entered
into between Turkey and the United States, by
which the latter is admitted to the privilege of
trading in the ports of the Black Sea,—an object
which has been steadily pursued for more than 25
success.tTheheUttlieigted otiatSitoantehs; adl,rnuetarihyitflateilretdo

first through the spirit of economy, end next by the
high tone of independence assumed with all foreign
states,—one of these principles inducing resistance
to those customary fees and presents, without which
no treaty with Turkey can ever be executed, arid the
other creating, objections to the pract ice on a separate
ground--viz., the possibility of its being construed
into a payment' of tribute or admission of supe-
riority. The negotiation was conducted, up to the
time of its disclosure, in perfect secrecy, under the
management of a Committee of the Senate on foreign
affairs,- communicating only at intervals with the Go-
vernment. It had been represented to this Corn-
naittee that it was essential to the success of their
object to confide their negotiation to a diplomatist
of the first rank. An estimate of the expenses
attending such an appointment was accordingly
furnished, amounting to 75,000 dollars, which
the Government was disposed to sanct'on, but the
consent of the Committee could not be obtained,
who accordingly appointed only a Charge d'Affaires,
at a reduction to one-hulf of the estimate, i. e. to
37,500 dollars. The Committee had previously
been compelled, as a sine qua non to the treaty,
to admit the principle of making the presents
usual on such occasions ; but a question then
arose, the expenses of the mission having been
reduced to one-half, in what proportion the pre-
sents ought to be reduced, and they came arbitrarily
and absurdly enough to the conclusion that the cus-
tomary presents should also be reduced one-half.
Commodore Porter, however, to whom the half-
mission was confided, found an utter indisposition
on the part of the Turks to give way on Phis point.
So great were the difficulties thence created, that it
was at first doubtful whether he would be received
at all in his official capacity, and, after his reception
had been effected, it was not without the most
strenuous efforts, and incurring great personal respray .
sibility, that he finally obtained the assent of ti e
Turkish Government to the treaty. It was given at
length, but on the express condition that presents
should be made. Porter told them franky, that Le
had but- 2.5,000 dollars to distribute in that ways
and that they must apportion it among themselves
in the best way they could, on which a list of
presents was sent him exceeding by 6,000
dollars the amount at his disposal. Being a
man of much energy, and perfectly aware of
the extent of advantage to be derived to his
country from this treaty, Commodore Porter, whose
private funds were exhausted, actually borrowed
the money on his- own liability to make up the sum
required by the Turkish Government, lie wrote
home to his own Government an account of what
had been done, and the discussion, from which
the above facts have been elicited, took place on the
expenses of the Turkish mission, and involved, of
course, the consideration whether Porter should be
indemnified for the step he had taken. The whole
of the money asked was ultimately voted by the
House of Representatives in their sitting of the
16th ult.: but so much time had been consumed in
the necessary forms connected with this transaction,
that the last despatches from Commodore Porter, re-
ceived only a few days previously, announced that
he was not only entirely destitute of all pul,lic funds,
but even of money for his personal subsistence. Such
an extraordinary negotiation, and brought to a con-
clusion in such an extraordinary way, could scarcely
have occurred to any other country on earth but the
United States.

Much of the discussion above referred to turned
on the advantages to be acquired to the union by
this extension of its commerce, the principal of which
is, its opening to American subjects the whole corn,
merce with RiSsia, before only to be approached by
the ports of Archangel and S:. Peter,burgh, which
are inaccessible during six months of the year.
Mr. Adams, who took part in the debate, stated
that it had been a most anxious obj,ct with the pre-
ceding administration to bring this negotiation to a
close, and that he had caused to be applied to it the
whole of the funds at his disposal for the contin-
gencies of foreign intercourse, but without success,
because those funds were insufficient, and the per-
sons employed were unwilling to take the risk, as
Commodore Porter had done, of augmenting them
on their own personal respon,ibilAy.—Tintes.

At the battle of Vittoria, an Irish soldier, who

PHILLIPS KAY, of this town, under the title which we.
have placed at the brad of this article. The facts re-
corded by this gentleman, we are spiry to say, present the
state of a large mass of the labouring elapses in this town
tinder a much more unfavourable aspect, both socially and
morally, than most persons, even comparatively well in-
formed as to the circumstances of our pool, would have
considered to be warranted by truth. "The rapid growth
of the cotton manufacture," says Dr. KAY, "has attracted
hither operatives from every part of the kingdom, and 11,.
land has poured forth the most destitute of her hordes to
supply the constantly increasing demand for labour. This
