GREENLAND FISHERY.—(HULL, Atc. 4.)

A letter received here yesterday from Captain.
ALLAN, of the North Briton, of this port, com-
municates rather unfavourable intelligence re-
specting the Greenland Whale Fishery. Captain
ALLAN'S letter is addressed to Messrs. SPY YE
and CooPER, dated July 25th, and comes by
the way of Hauiburgh : it confirms the loss of
the tour vessels mentioned in the Hatnburgh let-
ter given in our last, which are stated to be the
Dauntless and -Fortitude, of London; the Lion,
of Liverpool; and the Leviathan, of Newcastle.

very interesting Report of the Trinity-House, as

ritable Funds of that Corporation.

CORN-EXCHANGE, AUG. 6.—Owing to the fine
state of the weather we had very little-business
doing this morning ; and the prices are nominally
the same as on Monday; except where the sales
arc forced, they are rather lower.

As the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will
pass part of the su-►nn►er recess in Ireland, we
flatter ourselves fie will give his attention to the
present state of the commercial intercourse be-
tween Irel►►nd and Great Britain, with a view to
lessen the existing embarrassments, and to put
the Irish trade with this country on a better foot-

itl4. It is the concurrent opinion of men of ex-
tensive business and knowledge, that much may
be done for the benefit of both countries, and we
do trust, that no►w we are in a state of peace, that
this subject will receive ac serious and an early
attention.

Yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, the
PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by the Right Lion.
Sir BENJAMIN lkoomrtvin, GeneFal, Sir WM.
KFT;PELL, and Colonel SEYMoUR, lift Carlton-
house for Vtrindsor.

The unceasing attempts of these People to pro.
pagate their doctrines, demand the unceasing at.
tention of all friends to the Established Religion
of this country. Yesterday we find that the
foundation-stone of a new ROMAN. CATHOLIC
CHAPEL was laid in Moor-fields, with as much of
that pomp and ceremony as could be properly in-
troduced, of a religion which spreads its snares
by the specious delusions of Pow? and CERE-
MONY. The Morning Chronicle, which of late
seems to have observed a cautious silence
on the subject of the CATHOLIC QUESTION, in re-
porting the fact of the commencement of this new
TEMPLE Of POPERY, says this day, " we yesterday
witnesed, with gratifying emotions, the ceremony
of laying the foundation-stone of the new Roman
Catholic Chapel in Moor-fields." What reason
a Journalist, who professes an attachment to the

Constitution of this cottony, can have for feeling
" gratifying en►otions,'' tLtt a new edifice is to be
erected for the promnlgation of a Rd g on, the pro-
lessors of which detest that Constitution, inasmuch
as it is hostile to their own faith, and who would
doubtless attempt to make converts by FIRE an►d
swou I), if they could obtain the Ascendancy in them
Realms, or annihilate the whole race of Protestants,
as Hereticks, we cannot conceive. For our own

part, though we wish to give full toleration t©
those who are of the Roman Catholic Faith, yet
we should not have witnessed, with " gratifying
emotions," the commencement of this new
SANCTUARY of SUPERSTITION, but rather with
emotions of regret that a Religion so absurd in
itself, and the votaries of which are so anxious to
procure Proselytes per fas et nefas, should not
have kept /lace 'with the progress of knowledge,
but that in this comparatively enlightened age
they should still be involved in the same darkness
and bigotry as in those times when their chief
means of persuasion were Emu, ToßTuas, and
MASSACRE.

The Deputy Master and several Members of the
Corporati,m of the Trinity House of London have
been at Deal these two days, by order of -the Privy
Council, to make enquiry into the differences ex-
isting het %vett) the boatmen of that place ; and we
I/mien:land that a great number of the well-dis-
posed boatmen have given in their names as wil-
ling to he tailly regulated and employed by the
o:vnet, and these same persons have declar-
ed, that they are totally unconnected with those
themcelves "The Deal Boatmen's Society."
—which Society, it has been most satisfactorily prov-
cd, consists of only -part of the Boatmen. It is ex-
pected that ninny others will detach themselves
trom the Society, who are now with-held through
intimidation, and that they wilt no longer be so
blind to their non interests, as to rejec' that em-
ployment, and lose those advantages which most
certainly will be given to the men who have already
tome forward. The Ship Owners and Merchants
Lave an undoubted right, and they certainly will
dispose of their employment to whoever they please,
tor can it be endured in a civilized awl gr-at
coMmerei al country, the t efolllmanders of Ships
shall he compelled to employ any persons who may
first offer their services, whether the terms are rea-
sonable or not, or that they shall be prevented by
brutal violeoce from employing others who may
be differently disposed.---(Maidstone Journal,
.dugust 5.)

ST: ANDREW'S, N EW BR UNSWICK,JuNE3O.

" On the 28th ult. the Commissioners of Boun-
daries, under, the fourth Article of the Treaty of
Ghent, commenced their Sittings. .at Boston,
whilst those under theffth Article of that Treaty
began their Sittings on the 4th instant. The
place of meeting was open to the better class of
tire inhabitants of Boston who were disposed to
attend. The claims of the two Governments are
said to have been preferred in a manner highly
creditable to the respective Agents. The state-
ment of the American Agent, Mr. AUSTEN, con-
sisted of nearly eight hundred pages ; from the
general tone of ..rhich a strong, if not an olstinate,
disposition was evinced to maintain the claims of
tis Government to the whole of the Islands in
Passamaquoddy Bay and Grand Manan, founding
Lis chief reliance on the Charter of Massachu-
setts, granted by King William and Queen Mary
in 101, the confederacy of the New England
Provinces, and the contiguity of these Islands to
the American Coast situated West of the main
Channel up the Saint Croix.
Ills Britannic Majesty's Agent, the Hon.
WARD CHIPMAN, began and ended his statement
in one day, producing a series of documents,
which proved a clear and incontrovertible right
in the Crown of Great Britain to the whole of the
Islands in question—the Patent from the Crown
to Sir WILLIAM ALEXANDER, in 1621, completely
destroying the claims of the United States, not-
'with►tanrliut; their Agent endeavoured to main-
tain a plea ►►f nonuser, and consequent forfeiture,
And that this grant bad been annulled by the
Treaty of l 7 3.
The claims of the American Government, un-
do- the fifth Article, will, it is feared, create much
tontroversy ; yet the Briti4 Agent seems confi-
dent of the integrity and justice of the claims of
his Government, and that he shall be able to es-
tablish the propriety and equity of the lines he has
to contend for,

".The American Party were daily expected at
St. John's, to proceed froin thence up the river
Sr. J►►hn's to the source of the St. Croix, on an
exploring survey, &c."
