LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1817.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were
due this morning, have not come to band.

The honourable triumph of the Loyal Citizens
of London over revolutionary rancour and hack-
neyed declamation, proceeds with the most grati-
fying success. Mr. Alderman CHRISTOPHER SMITH,
so unjustly passed over last year, owing to the
arts of Faction, and who, by the solid worth of
his character, as well as by the useful precedent of
experience, is fully entitled to the support of his
fellox-citizens, is now apparently ce►tain of ob-
taining that honour which he ought to have enjoyed
last year. We shall, therefore, spare ourselves
the labour of attending to the virulent trash of
the intruding Demagogues, one of whom is chit-

racteriscd by deplorable ignorance and vulgsr;ti:
and the other by the same rancorous spirit wh'ci
•
appears in those productions of his polluted pre's/
that have already exposed him to the clang
that punishment from which he escaped by 10:
dent, but which, unless he changes his colunic
may hereafter teach him better, or, at 1615 i
'
safer principles of action. We must, bl;
ever, for a moment pause to notice the fa;
of those virtuous Jacobinical Gemini; MCISI
HITCHENS and Woo Lea, in adverting to the les e
1';93 as the mra of British Folly, which, on no
contrary, was the sera of Ga turpitude sr)
atrocity, when such men as the above I'ar
fratrum were exalted to the power of overturaih
• their lawful Government, murdering their amiol';:
eir Sovereign, and spreading dismay, consternat'
and horror, all over the world.

„, We find that The British Press seems determill'-
_
to have the last word upon the subject of the pr'
posed Commutation of . the Window fax in De,
land, and demands arguments from us rather WI/
paradoxes. What our paradoxes were, we tnes
leave the sagacity of ThesPress to discover. fit
for arguments; they w!rcso,satisfactorily giver il.
Mr. HAWTHORNE'S Lett,er, which we yesterM
submitted to our Readers, as well as in our es°
tracts from The Correspondent, one of the bit
public journals of Ireland and this Country, tart
wg conceived we should not only be guilty of pre
sumption, but ” burn day-light," in obtruding an:
remarks on the, subject. But if The Press wishe'
to contend with arguments, let it answer Mr. Milt
THORNE'S Letter, which was inserted in its owl
Paper, and the passing over whicb in total silent'
seems to indicate a conviction of its truth and
justice, which it wants the grace to acknowledge.

The following is an extract of a letter frorr
Croe (Coast of Sumatra), dated March 21,181 7
" About two days ago, three people arrived here
from the southward, who proved to be Lascarsi
belonging to the ship Union, Captain BARKER.
• .

This vessel sailed from Calcutta' about 15 months
ago, and has been missing ever since. She had
a cargo of Cotton, bound to Java first, and then
to Canton ; but, unfortunately, on passing ate
Island of Engarto, she struck on a reef of rocks,'
about eight o'clock in the morning, and about
four o'clock P. m. she stink. Two boats got on.
shore, %vitt, the Captain, Ist Officer, and about
50 men, but as soon as they reached the shores
the natives seized them, and plundered them of
every thing, even tl►e very clothes they 144 on
their backs. The two boats they broke up.
" The remaining crew, nearly 50 in number,
were seen on a raft, attempting to make the shor6
which they could not effect, and have never been
heard of since. The Captain and chief Officers,.
with about 40 Lascars, are still on the Island, at
work at the °Ghee or Yam Plantations, no rice
growing there. These people declare, that when.
ever any of them proved to be incapable of work-
ing, their hands anti• feet are tied together, and
large stones hung to them, after which they were
thrown into the sea.

" Pooloo Bartallanjong is the Malay name for
Engano (or Island of Descent), which lies a little
to the Southward of Bencoolen. It is the usual
and fall in the North West Monsoon, when bound
to the Straits of Sunda."

CORN-EXCHAN.GE, OCT. 3.—We have had but
few fresh Arrivals since Monday, and as buyers
appear to be waiting for supplies, there was very
little business doing this morning ; a few sales,
made in Fine Wheat and Oats were at Monday's
prices, but Ordinary was very dull ; in Pease,
Beans, and other Grain, the prices are nearly no-
minally the same.

Then. Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
Of GLOUCESTER and suite arrived at Plymouth on
Tuesday, in his Majesty's.ship Tigris, from their
excursion to Jersey, &c. They landed at Mount
Edgecumbe; under a loyal salute. Their Royal
Highnesses were accompanied by Colonel DALTON,
Mr. CURREY, Lady ISABELLA THY NNE, Btc. who
were received on a covered platform at the landing
place, by Lady Eruct MOUNT EDGECUMBE.
Letters received yesterday from Philadelphia
state, that young WATSON is there. He came out
in the ship Venus, Capt. SCOVILL.
SIR JOHN M`MAHON.---This.Gentleman. early
in life obtained a commission, and was promoted
in life by a certain Nob.. man. On his return to
England, he met his Commanding Officer,.who
informed the young soldier he was distressed for
money; bearing which, Sir JOHN requested a
time to procure it ; the day being mentioned, Sir
JOHN raised the money by means of his commis.
sion, and when he waited on that Nobleman, he
observed, that being indebted to him for his
rank, the best use he could make of it was to
assist his benefactor; the Nobleman accepted the
money upon the terms of securing an annuity to
his young friend. Shortly alter, the Nobleman
mentioned the subject to the PRINCE, who be-
came so much taken with such liberality, that be
required to have Sir JOHN illtl'OdOCCa to birli
upon that event occurring, he was received into
that friendship which increased even to the hour
of his lamented death.
