LONDON,
TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1817.

The following Letter, received this morning,
from a quarter of the highest respectability, gives
some important details from the Netherlands :

`,` Ostend, June 49•

" The disturbances in different parts of this
country appear to have proceeded principally from
the extreme distress which prevails, owing to the
exorbitant prices of the necessaries of life, and
the idea that they were kept up by speculators.
The fermentation appears to have extended to the
whole of the Southern Provinces, and has beets
most serious at Namur, Mons, Ghent, and emir'
tray. but has now in great measure subsidcti•—'
Considerable quantities of Rye, bought up by the
Government, have been conveyed to the pikes
where the greatest distress prevailed, and sold at
15 florins the hectolitre (about 63 shillings the
English quarter), being a reduction of more
than one half. In the last market at Forties,
Rye sold at 25 florins the hectolitre, or 5 guineas
the English quarter. .!1) Ghent and some other
places it was as high as 28 florins, or about Si. 10s.
the quarter. The prices are, however, now ra-
pidly falling."

' THE SUSPENSION BILL, which, maugre all the
virulent clamours of Opposition, is not, as they
alledge, to abridge the Liberties of. the People,
but to secure them, and preserve the Empire front
revolutionary horrors, anti consequent subversion,
was at length, as mantled by the House of Com-
mons, passed into a law last night in the House
of Lords, receiving the Royal Assent. No divi-
sion took place, because the necessity of the mea-
sure is so apparent, and the general opinion so
strongly in its favour, that further opposition
would not only have been nugatory, but really
ridiculous, Its duration extends .to the first of
March, and even the opponents of Government
were obliged to admit, that this definite limita-
tion reflects credit on Government, since it spews
that Ministers would not expose themselves to
any suspicion that they might render the continu-
ance of the measure dependent on their own dis-
cretion, by the assembling of Parliament sooner
or later, •n account of tbeAct in (potion. Thus,

large to harbour any hopes of future success.

An interesting point of the Debate in the House
of Lords, last night, related to the case of the
VANISES, ho, according to the account which
Lord DONOUGHMORS had received, had been
treated with great rigour. This account was
cotnrletely r..futed by Lord SIDMOUTH, who
stated that they had received all the indulgence
'which their situation adMitted ;—a statement
which afforded satisfaction to the House, but

xvhich indeed was no more than could be expect-
ed,
_wherever the vigilance and humanity of the
:Noble Viscount can be exercised consistently with
tie ends of justice and the safety of the State.—
ti,ionilar reports were in circulation respecting the
treatment which WATSON experienced in the
'lower, where he received all possible indulgence,
for which he expressed his gratitude in a letter to
the Noble Lord on his liberation. We know,
besides, that. WATSON received private acts of
kindness in the Tower, in the loan of books, re—
freshments, &c , for which be testifier) warm ac-
knowledgments, before and after his discharge.

We received last ni^ht the Paris Papers of Fri-
day last, and this morning those of Saturday.—
'hey mention another fall in the price of grain.
At Strasburg!) it had fallen from 106 to 54 francs,
and was expected to he at 30 ; Bordeaux it had
declined to 30 francs ; at Marseilles and other

towns in the Sot h the price was 29 ; in some
other (wavers 27 francs the hectolitre.—The
vines, it is also stated, present the fiiiest appear-

&nce.

An article 1-,m Rome speaks of an intendt-d
meeting between the King of Naples and the Ex-
King of Spain, Charles IV., in the Roman States.
From Rat ishon, the 17th instant, it is men-
tioned, (hat on the 14th two bodies of Wirtemberg
.E►nigrants, consisting of 4 or 500 - persons each,
passe►t through that city on their way to the bor-
ders ►if the Black Sea.

COMMODORE TIIOMAS TAYLOR TO HIS EXCELLENCY

THE PRESIDENT OF HAYTI,

Sin,-111 consequence of the seizure, deten-
tion, and condemnation of some of the Buenos

Ayres Government cruisers and their prizes,
(tvl,,lich have entered your ports in conformity to
the faith placed in the Government of Hayti as
a sister republic, sanctioned by a positive ar-
rangement made with yourself .as President
thereof) I have thought proper, as the Repre-
sentative of the Buenos Ayres Governnient, to
detain and sent bark to Port-au-Prince the Hay.
-tiara ship St. Joseph, W. PIERHET master, bound
for New York. This act will sufficiently indicate
to the Government of Hayti my determination to
Wye and insist on satisfactory redress for the out,
rage committed on the Republican flag of Buenos
Ayres, in the seizures named in the first part of
this communication. The Spanish sailors found
on board the St. Joseph I have detained as pri-
-toners of war. Unless immediate and complete
satisfaction be given for the outrage, all vessels
~tvlratever, bearing, the Haytian flug, as also any

pit thin.,r,rtpo!ye concirlo?tri as gn,,fr

Government vessel;, and they will have my in-
tructions accordingly. I ,hall imtnediatelv dis-
patch a vessel off the 'Art of Aux Cayes, th'cre to
await your answer until the 28th inst. In the
mean time, the squadron will detain all Ilaytlan
vesse!s they may fall in with. They will, how-
ever, be given up on receiving from you a satis-
factory answer.

" I have the honour to be, Sir, your Excel-
lency's most obedient servant.

(Signed) " THOMAS TAYLOR,
" Commodore of the• Flying Squadron
of Buenos Ayres.
" Dated on hoard the Buenos Ayres Go-
vernment brig of war El Pat tiota. off

Cape Nit:huh-Mole, Ap:-11 23, 1817."

(From the Commercial ,Idrert iser of June 3.)

" The Patriotic General MINA is said to have
sailed from Galveston, with a considerable expe-
dition, and arrived off Tempien, which place he
intended to attack. He was well provided with
cannon and ammunition, and effected a landing in
the vicinity of the town without opposition. We
had succeeded in fortifying his position, which
would afford a safe harbour and protection of his
shipping, or cover his retreat and re-embarkation,
it he should he unsuccessful, of which, however,
there was no apprehension, as his means were
considered to be fully adequate to the reduction
and occupancy of the place."

By the arrival from America this morning, we
have received a letter from-Boston, dated Monday,
June 2, at Noon, which contains the following me-
lancholy intelligence:--The Canton packet, lying
in our harbour, has had her stern bl►►wn off with
powder; she is now ()H&c, and should it not be ex,
tinguished before it reaches her magazine she will be
blown to atoms. She was repairing to sail for
Canton, and had on board 300,000 dollars in
specie.

We feel great pleasure in drawing the attention
of our Readers to the SIXTH REPORT of the Select
Committee of Finance, as it is calculated to raise
the spirits of those who wish well to the Country
and its gallant Defenders. This Report wholly
relates to the Naval Service, and the Public will
be happy in learning that " the Hospital and
Chest of Greenwich, notwithstanding the immense
claims that have been made on them, have been
able to accumulate a capital of not less than
3,760,0001. in the 3 per Cents. : and, by the way,
this leads us to a remark on the nature of our
public Funds which we have seldom seen adverted
4to. It is, that no inconsiderable
.proportion ,of
what is called the National Debt is the property
of charitable foundations like the one in question,
and instead of going to support the Rich at the
expence of the Poor, which is falsely represented
by the seditious writers to be the exclusive desti-
nation of the interest of the Public Debt, those
Dividends in the present case go to support a most
meritorious class of the Poor, and are supported
by Taxes of which the greatest proportion is con-
tributed by the Rich."—ln addition to the above
gratifying statement we have the pleasure to find
that, by the REGISTRY OF SEAMEN, a measure
adopted in the year 1814, the efficacy of which
will of course render it a permanent system, the
Greenwich Books spew that there are nearly
15,000 men always ready for effective service, and
a considerable number besides who might be ren-
dered highly useful in the defence of our shores
or other public duties.

OtAIT The Leeds Mercury, (a Reforming
Journal of the modern school), continues its ,mis-
representations against OLIVER, though they were
so entirely refuted by Mr. ADDINGTON in the
House of Commons, and now attempts to prop
those misrepresentations, alledging that a letter
was written by OLIVER while he was in London,
addressed to one of his -dupes at Leeds, which
would fully have developed his villainy ; hut, alas!
this letter has been " unfortunately destroyed."--.
Mr. MEncnty, of Leeds, must suppose that the
people in general are greater dupes than those at
Leeds whom be mentions, if he conceives that
they will he imposed upon by so shallow an arti-
fice, and will recollect the adage, " dead men tell
no,tales."

We are sorry to state, that the Right Hon.
G. PONSONBY was suddenly attacked by an apo-
plectic fit while in the House of Commons about
twelve o'clock last iiight. The Right Hon. Gen-
tletan bad shortly before spoken on the Irish
Election Bill. The attack was for the time such
as to deprive him of speech and motion. The
HonSe having immediately adjourned, medical aid
was sent fot, and Mr. P. was carried by several
of the Members present into the SPEAKER'S Se-
cretary'S room. A medical Gentleman, Mr.
WHITE, who arrived, took a considerable quantity
of blood and used other restorative means, with
success. In a short time Mr. PONSONBY Was able
to speak, and he was removed in the SPEAI:ER's
chariot to his house in Curzon-street. Earl
GREY, who had been sent for, accompanied him
The Right Hon. Gentletiran, Vve understand, is
out of clanger.

'l•Keet: blew the sleety gaits, the scene was dr-ear;
One sheet of .;slsitf.s this hills and plains orpear,
Vast blacks of ice obstruct the rapid floods,
;tad hills of Stow comical the sable woods.
Nor bird, nor beast, nor living thing, was seen,
for flower, nor frnit, nor blade of herbage greets :
All Nature kniw the appointed time of rest,
And shelter'd slept on Earth's maternal breast.
Man's heart alone no change of season knowa;
And proud Anibition stoops not to repose.
The Tyrant's troops, regardless of the blast,
Blacken with countless honks the Silvery waste.
High on his Tartar steed the Conqueror rude,
And led his myriads o'er the frozen flood.
When lo ! amid A realist of subject snows,
In awful pride, gigantic Winter rose.
His hand, with arrows filled, was lifted high;
A ghastly gleam Was in his frozen eye ;
Like some vast mountain his stupendous form;
His toice the howling of the Alpine storm,
It lack'd the melody of living breath,
And chill'd the spirit, as the voice of death,

6' Behold the mighty Conqueror, who defies,
" Not man alone, but these inclement skies,
" But through the air my dreadful warriors ride,
." Nor fawn the elements,. to soothe thy pride
" Round thy warm limbs my icy robe I cast, .
" Igive thee to the snow, the hail, the blast.
" Yon hill—the Spirit of the Storm is there,
" And bids thee, Tyrant ! stop thy rash career !
" No longer shalt tlicnt wrap the world in flame !,
" Art thou a Spirit of I,7engeance ? I, the same!
" Slaves to subdue, we use our power alike—
" When baneful stars In dire conjunction strike,
" How terrible their force ! But on ! Be bold !
" Make Earth's best regions desolate and cold
"'Then, in the impotence of fury, pine
• ,
"To find at length thy blasts less keen than mine
" If thou canst glory in unnumber'd bands,
•' That waste, destroy, o'erwhelat the fairest lands;
With heavenly aid my storms as widely sweep,
i"Fhy lance is keen, my arrow strikes as deep !
" And on thy head, by Him that governs all,
" The deadliest venom of my wrath shall ;
66 Not all thy fires, thyself, thine bust, shall safe
" FrOM the cold sleep, the tempest's icy grave."

to draw the atteution•of out Readcrs.

t The ahore Poem was suggested by the following historical
fact.—Tistouit, or "I'AmtnmANE, the Conqueror of Russia,
Hindustan, Persia, Egypt, Syria, and. Turkey, unsated with
conquest, at the age of seventy-one assembled an immense
army for the purpose of invading China. This Empire bad
formerly been subject to CaiLSGUIs, from whom Tbtoutt
loved to trace his descent ; and he declared that he telt it to be
his duty to re establish the Tartar power, and expel Idolatry
from a country which had formed part of the dominions of his
great ancestor. He commenced his march in the depth of
winter, and passed the Jaxartes on the ice, but illness stopped
him at Otrar, and his forces were soon deprived of their
Leader. Timm.; it's INstrroTcs, composed under his own di-
rection, give a nattering picture of his achievements ; but his
Life was written With all the virulence of hatred by an Ara-
bian Author, Aum cn-BEN-A RARSHAII ; and the above Poem is
partly a versification of a passage touted in Sir JoIIN MAL-
coLm's History of Persia, which strikingly applies to a mo-
dern memorable invasion, and its result.
The iwitation commences here.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, WESTMINSTER-lIRIDGE.

On INfonday evening a new Piece, called Lowina
of 1'0)0$/col ; or, The Fatal Snow Storm, was
brought out at this place, which for novelty of
incident, picturesque views, and splendour of
dresses, exceeded every former productiln. This
piece is particularly interesting, ond the plot keeps
the audience in continual anxiety for the fate of the
hero and heroine.—The acting of GomEnsar. as
the former, and. Miss ADAMS in the latter, gave an
interest to the whole, and they repeatedly and
deservedly received the marked approbation of the
company.—The assemblage of nobility and gentry,
with the juvenile parts of their family, gave the
house a most splendid and brilliant appearance,
which was crowded to excess. When the piece
was announced for a second representation, three
distinct cheers signified tl►e approbation of the
audience.
