A copy of the Repots-, made by the prsons apr
pointed to ascertain, the colonial produce-in Holland,
at the period of its incorporation with the French
Empire, has reached town. It states'tlie following
as the quantities at the'undermentioned depots

• The account is taken in French weights of Killo-
grammes. A duty of fifty per cent. Upon these
.quantities, i t was supposed, would produCe little
more than one-fifth of the revenue, which the.
French Government calculated on deriving from
this atrocious nreasure. It the .account be a fair
one, it is a strongproof of the efficacy of the mea-
sures adopted for preventin&the introduction of Co-
lonial produce. One
,would have supposed, from
the charges formerly preferred by Bonaparte against
the Dutch (and which .were his chief arguments to
justisly the annexation), that the floors of every
warehouse in Holland were groaning under the
weight of colonial articles imported from England !
We should have expected that the quantity found
would have been More considerable. The account,
we understand, inchides all the coffee, sugar, indi-
go, and Cotton fonnd in Holland. •
CORONER'S INQUEST.—An Inquest was held on
Friday at, Putney, on the body of G. Payne, Esq.
who was killed in a duel with Captain' Clarke, on
Wimbledon Common. It appeared from Ilse testi-
mony of the waiters at the lied Lion Inn, at Put-
ney, that the deceased was brought, there aboUt
half-past six on Thursday morning; extremely ill,
and wounded. Mr.'W. Payne 'stated;-that he had
no knowledge of the .partiei,whO caused his bro-
ther's death ; nor had he, from extreme. agitation
~of mind when he saw him in_ bed, inquired how he
came by the wound. He had beard on Thursday
morning of the intended .duel, and had brought
Mr. Heaviside from town with •him.---Mr.
the Surgeon who attended the deceased, ;eposed,
that he found a wnend in the left groin, which
passed through the intestines, .and having lacerated
several arteries, caused a hemorrhage in the abdomen,
which Witness believed to be the cause of his death.
However, he had found no.ball. Witness had not
asked, whether Mr. Payne had fought a duel, but
overheard him, say to a Gentleman who was in his
room, " Well, I hope I have-not disgraced myself;"
to which the. Gentleman answered,. " Quite the
contrary,"_r.L'he Jury returned a verdict of IPilful
Murder against some person or persons unknown,
supposed to be by a pistol shot.
The landlord of the Shakespeare tavern,. at Ha-
lifax, was killed on Sunday morning last, by jump-
ing out of his chaiuber window during Ilia aleep,
