the public to bear in mind; that more than 9,000 per-
sons are wholly dependent for support on the relief
Which they receive at the Church ; and, tint for that,
tauit'' perish for lack of food.. 111: small pittance
which f*i been hitherto afforded is now of necessity
reduced,•and yet the expenditure of the Committee
exceeds 5001. weekly.. Under these circumstances it
is obvious, that without an immediate addition to
their.finbis) • the distressed weavers in Spitalfields can
receive no assistance beyond the next fortnight. The
Committee have now nearly concluded the task of per-
sonally visiting the - cases ; and they can assure the
public thatin almost. every case the distress is great
beyond conception. The last appeal to the public
ha,*
.met; with very little success. The Committee
trust that this will have a better reception, and that
they shall be enabled, at least for the present, to con
time their assistance to this suffering, but quiet and
respectable class." This is s most lamentable picture
both of present and prospective distress, and we
earnestly hope that the appeal of the Committee may
obtain a large addition to his MAJESTY'S splendid
donation. But we must not shut our eyes against the
fact, that the means of nearly all classes of persons to af-
ford relief to others are now much crippled ; and that
the calls upon the charity of all, from cases of urgent dis-
tress in their immediate neighbourhood, are at this time
too frequent to justify a very sanguine expectation that
the appeal of the Committee in behalf of this class of
people will be successful to any considerable extent.
Some other means, therefore, than appeals to public
charity; must be adopted, to save the weavers of Spital-
fields from•the horrors of starvation.

Some loose reports got into circulation yesterday,
"Vecting the cause of the Meeting of the Cabinet,
which we have reason to believe were entirely without
foundation. They were probably originated by inte-
rested persons, who, taking advantage of the gloomy
aspect of things in general,-wished to add to the effect
by alarming reports respecting the Ministry, It will
be observed by our City report, that the Funds declined,
and that they remain in nearly the same state to-day.
Causes sufficient for this state of the market exist,
without having recourse to rumours of divisions in the
Cabinet. The accounts from all the manufacturing
districts continue to be of a most discouraging nature,
as regards the gate of trade, and the means of the ma-
nufacturers to employ their workmen. It is stated
that one 1)f the greatest establishments engaged in the
silk tracle in the neighbourhood of London, has found
it nweessary to communicate to his Majesty's Govern-
nitnt that they had continued to employ their people
'until their capital was absorbed, and that as no market
can be found for the accumulated stock, it had become
necessary to determine to close the manufactory, and
discharge the workmen. This we fear must be the
case with many other establishments. The sale of
Indigo closed at the East India House yesterday.
The whole quantity put up was 6,918 chests, of which
nearly $OOOO were sold. The price was low, but got
up towards the close of the sale. It was understood
that the great proportion of purchases made, were for
foreign orders.

A Hamburgh Mail has been received this morning
•• •
but its contents have been already anticipated, with
the exception of an article from Sweden, des:,:riptive
of alarming fires in some of its forests. This seems
to be a season of general conflagration. The following
are extracts:—

MASSA, JUN* 16.
The arrivals of wheat from Poland are beginning to be
daily more considerable, and as the exportation is in pro..
portion inconsiderable, the owners are obliged, by the.
litilted demand and consequently low prices, to warehouse
their corn, which has caused warehouse rent to rise 50
per cent, The permission to import a small quantity of
:host into England appears not to have the slightest in-
renee on our market; and as there is no hope that im-
portation with Spain will be permitted, and the accounts
:mm Marseilles, Leghorn, and Genoa are not such as to
Invite speculation in this article, there is a stagnation in
business, and a continued want of confidence among the
'merchants which perhaps may cease, as it is much to be
desired, through the influence of fortunate occurrences in
the commercial world.
Small parcels of Merino and improved wool of this
year are already here, and the owners of large parcels offer
their cloths for sale, but no sales have hitherto been
effected, because the buyers offer only 30 rubles for Me-
rino wool, which was sold list year at 61i rubles.

We have had very warm and pleasant weather ever since
WARSAIV, JULY b.
the 20th of May, but during the last week the heat has
been from 24 deg. to 27 deg. The crop of hay is very
fine, and we have every prospect of a good corn harvest.
The rye in our neighbourhood, in particular, is very file.
We have only to wish that the overplus may be taken off
our hands by foreigners.

ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 3.
The relations between our Viceroy and France arebecom-
ing more and more friendly. The French Consul-General
has been sent for from Cairo, and has daily conferences
with the Pacha. The commerce with Marseilles is extremely
active, the Pacha purchasing in that place raw materials
and manufactures to• a large amount. The organisation of
the troops continues, and the number of French officers
and instructors increases daily. Twenty-five ships of war
and transports are lying here ready to sail for the Mores,
with provisions and ammunition, the Greek cruisers hav-
ing captured seven out of eight of the ships that have been
sent thither since, the beginning of the year.
The sanitary state of the whole country is good. rade is at a low ebb, with the exception of what is
done by Go-
vernment.

STOCKHOLM, JULY 4,
A new and threatenin
lire in the forests (say our
Papers), has broken out in the immediate vicinity
of
our capital, near Sich la Nadia, and towards Wet-
nido. In fait, almost all our provinces have been
visited.by such fire 4. Thus there were lately, and perhaps
are still; such near Orebro Linkopink and only half a
mile from Vireateras, as well at'' in Daltearlia and Upland ;
in the ' province- of Bahkden, the parishes of Browns,
Oberterna, Lamm, Weaterhanninge, and Huddruge, have
been laid waste since Midaummer; and, on the 29th of
last month, a dreadful fire broke out in the forest of Sag-
loch, which spread in a few days to those of Trafuruge,
Pisksalra, and Eistawuk, and is now raging with more
fury than ever in the island of Sickle, only•half a mile •
from this city. The King is constantly at the
most dangerous places, and has ordered several regi-
ments of the garrison, as well as the sailors of the fleet, to
*mist in checking the progress of the flames, by digging
trenches. Lieut. Caslegren, who commanded 200 sailors
on this occasion, has been highly commended.
The entire failure of the corn and the hay not only
threatens the farmers with total ruin, but will be very
