The Staats Courant says, that on the 25th
of this month Prince GUSTAVUS of SWEDEN
was betrothed to the Princess MARIANNE of
the Netherlands, in the presence of the Royal
Family. We should not be at all surprised -if
-this alliance prove the cause of some ulterior
proceedings which may not be at all agreeable to
the King of SWEDEN, or rather to the heir ap-
parent to the Crown.
According to accounts from Copenhagen, there
passed the Sound in the month of May, 1670
ships of various nations, among. which were 557
English and Hanoverian, being one-third of the
whole—a pretty convincing proof to the enemies
of free trade how well the system works. There
were only four French ships.
It appears that another Russian 3quadron is
fitting out at Cronstadt for the purpose .of re-
inforcing the fleet in the Mediterranean. If
enis be true, we think our Government must
look to our strength in those seas, for it. would
be the height of imprudence to suffer any other
nation, and that nation at war too, to maintain a
superiority of fi,rce on a station of. such varied
importance. Great damage has been done by
inundations in the" province of No" rrland, and
several persons lost their lives..

The engagements for that day are to a very large amount,

On the 21st inst. the city of Hanover was visited by a
most tremendous hailstorm. The stones were as large as
duck-eggs, and every pane of glass in the direction of the
wind, and almost every roof, were broken in- The fields
and gardens present a melancholy appearance of destruction,
and it was six kours after the storm had subsided before
the masses of ice which had fallen were incited.

On the 16th instant, a destructive fire broke out at
llernstadt in Upper Lusatia, and in a few hours the
whole town, together with a considerable part of the
neighbouring village of Knnnersdorf, were reduced to
ashes. The number of dwellings destroye3 is calculated
at nearly 200, and upwards of a thousand individuals have
been redttc Kilo beggary in consequence. This calamity
is supposed to have been the work of some malicious-in-
cendiaries, 54 severul fires have lately broken out in diffe-
rent parts of the town, but which, by the timely care of the
public Authorities, were prevented from extending. It is
only two years ago that a similar calamity' befell the un-
fortunate inhabitants of Bernatadt, since when a consider-
able portion of the town had continued in ruins.
The report that the Emperor. of Morocco had sent two
brigs on a cruize against the llamado trade, in come.;
quenee of the non-payment of tribute, appears to become
more and more confirmed.

In consequence of a want of provisioni the:garrison of
Belgrade are said to work as labourers in the service of the
inhabitants of the city ; many are even said to have sold
their arms in order to purchase the means of subsistence.
Desertions are said to be of frequent occurrence, which is
hardly to be wondered at if the ti►regoing be true.

We have no further .news from Lisbon or
Oporto, but we. may expect to have by to-
morrow, unless the prevalence of the Easterly
winds 'prevents it. The prisons were filled with
victims to DON MIGUEL'S rapacity.

Brussels Papers have been received, but they
contain no news of English interest. Nobody
cares for the squabbles in Batavia, between the
native rebels and their High Mightinesses.
The Kortenaar, ship of the line, with 652

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the .23d inst.
states, that symptoms of a pestilential disorder
had broken out at Bucharest, and that the Rus-
sian Authorities took every precaution to prevent
the disorder spreading. Considerable alarm was
naturally excited by this circumstance, which may
prove more fatal to the Russians than the sword
of the Turks.

An article from Poland repeats the rumour
that ABBAS MIRZA was going. to attack the
Turks in order to indemnify Persia for the late
loss of territory to Russia at the expence of the
PORTE. If _this be- true it must annoy the
PORTE considerably, but we doubt the fact.

The new American► Tariff, which will exclude
British manufactures of a certain description from
the United States, has now received the signature
of the President, and passed into a law, and we
cannot sufficiently express our astonishment that
the American Legislature should have been so
ready to take up the cast-off prejudices of
Europe. In the enlightened philosophy of
modern times, restrictions on trade are universally
reprobated as the offspring of narrow views and
selfish prejudices, and the great States of Europe

are reforming their policy according to these im•
proved maxims—they arc retracing their steps—
they are throwing off those trammels by which
their course is impeded—they are breaking down
that Chinese wall of restrictions by which their
trade has been hemmed in, and they are giving

a free course to every man's industry. How
singular, then, that at this moment those auto-
crat errors of the dark ages, banished from
Europe by the progress of reason, should find
a sanctuary in America, the choSen seat of free-
dom, and, as was supposed, of political improve-
ment of every sort. We learn that the new
Tariff imposes duties on many articles of British
manufacture, on coarse woollen goods more
especially, which will amount to a prohibition,
being equal in many eases to 200 pet cent.
We can easily understand how the American
manufacturer of these goods, who cannot make
them either so good 'or so cheap as the British
manufacturer, should wish to rid himself of this
inconvenient competition, and should for this
purpose lay the whole community under contri-
bution, by forcing them to buy his inferior and
dear articles. His motive for exclUding rivals
in his own trade is quite plain ; but by what spell
the American Legislators should have suddenly
become enamoured of this injustice and folly—
how they could have been persuaded to lay a
tax on the whole community for the benefit of a
feW—to abridge the natural rights of their free-
born subjects, by rendering it penal to buy their
goods at the cheapest market,,this is the mystery
of which, not being acquainted with all,the
various springs of that popular Government,, we
want a solution ; and it is rendered the more in-
explicable that those deluded Legislators had
before their eyes the great American community,
which, from a few scattered adventurers thrown
upon the Atlantic shore, has, by its own
unassisted energies, risen and. is still ad-
vancing with 'an irresistible pace to wealth and
greatness. Their own condition is the most
splendid illustration which the world can furnish
of the principles and advantages of freedom in
trade as in every thing else ; and yet they willingly
shut their eyes to this great practical lesson, and
found their policy on the grasping spirit of ,their
own monopolising traders. The more, indeed,
we consider the measure, the more do we feelits
injurious tendency. It not Only mars the fair
course of American policy, but it is an omen of
future mischief.

There are some not very deep reasoners,, we
think, who would draw from this evil example of
America an argument against the measures of
commercial freedom that have been adopted in
this country. To them we would answer, even
on their own principles, that the policy of
America, in laying on restrictions, proves the
inutility of any such measures in Britain ; for
is it not, we may ask, a plin confession .of
American inferiority? Is it not because the
British are superior to the Americans, when
equally matched, that the latter seek the protec-
tion of monopoly, the resource of weakness—

and is it not clear, when we beat the Americans
out of their own markets that we have no need
of duties to protect us. against their competition
in our markets ? The stream of British produce
flows from the higher level of Britain down, to
the lower leVel of America. The Americans
raise a barrier against its progress downwards;
but why should we seek any barrier, unless we
suppose that the stream will flow upwards ? If
we command the. American markets by the
superior 'cheapness of our manufactures, do we
dread the competition Of AMeriaa in our markets,
or do we require any otherprotection against thiS
or any other *commercial rival, except our own
industry and skill ?

LAW INTELLIGENCE.7-(TIllS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCII.

DOE ON THE DEMISE OF DAVIS AND ANOTHER. V. ELSANI..

This was an action of ejectment. • The plaintiff is a
pork butcher, residing in Oxford-street, and the action was
brought for the forfeiture of the lease of A. house in Oxford-
street. It appeared that souse years ago a person named
Summers established a rival pork-shop -in Oxford-street,
near to the plaintiff's, and it is reasonable to suppose drew
away some of his custom, for .Summers hewn-tin' ,* .a bank-
rupt the plaintiff purchased the house in which he- lived,
and let it to a person. named May, on lease ; the lease
containing a clause that the shop should not be converted
into a pork-shop; and that if it was, the lease should
be forfeited. May underlet the house to the defendant,
through whose instrumentality the house came-_again into
the possession of Summers, who recommenced his old trade
of a pork-seller in it, and thereby it was contended, caused.
a forfeiture of the lease.
The defence was that the shop .had been converted into
a butter and cheese shop; but the person to whom it vas
let having failed, Summers was put into the shop to sell off
the stock, which occupied only three weeks.
Upon the suggestion of the Learned Judge, the record
was withdrawn.
Lord TYNTEM.DEN said; that no doubt the lease was for-
feited ; but yet, as the breach of covenant was so trifling,
he did not think the action should be pressed.

BAIL COURT.

SWAN V. LOAD FALMOUTH.

This was an action against the defendant for an execs-,
sive distress; the case was tried at the last Assizes for.
Comical; and a verdict found for the plaintiff with 401.
damages. . .
The case came before the Court to-day upon an applica-
tion to set aside the verdict, on the grounds that there had.
been an abandonment of the distress immediiitely after the,
seizure, as it appeared that Lord Falmouth's agent left the
premises at once, and merely caused a notice of the distress
to be served en the tenant. The verdict was also sought
to be pct aside'on the ground of excessive damages..
The Coaxer was of opinion that, as between the land-
lord and. tenant, there had been a contipttalKe of the dis-
'tress, it not being necessary that the landlord should leave
a person on the premises in charge of the property which
had been s&zed.

•
It was agreed between the Counsel on both sides tha
the damages should be reduced to 2.0/.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

CHARGE OF MURDER.-BOW-STREET.

Timothy Cochrane, James Berry, Cornelius
Mara, James Sheer, Jereiniah Murray, James
Hays, .Dennis Burke, Jonathan Casey, Tint Con-
nor, and Catharine Casey,' were charged with
having murdered a man known •as " Long John,"
and one of their companions, last night, at Wimbley,
near Harrow. It appeared that the prisoners and deceased
were drinking in a party at the Green Man .publie-bouse,
at Wimbley. They were all haymakers end had their,forks.
A quarrel arose among them and they left 'the house.
About a furlong from the Green Man '" Long 'Jelin" was
stated to bate been murdered by John Casey, "who had
stabbed 'him in the breast with a pitch-fork. The
evidence adduced against them was • that of several
labourers, who were present, and accused all the :ribove
prisoners as having ill-used the deceased. Mary, the wife
of John Casey, had jumped on the body after " Long
Min" had been dead some time.
Sir R. Burin.-considered that she had acted under the
influence of her husband, and discharged her, but ie-;
manded till the others till Thursday. • •
In the course of the morning Sir R. flittrilt alluded to
the report circulated yesterday morning; that a man named
Jacobs, a brothel keeper, in the parish of St. Martin, had
been murdered by his wife. The Magistrate inquired if
she was in custody, and en • being answered that she was
not in any of the watch-houses, he sent Ford down to the
house in question. Ford said on his return that Mrs.
Jacobs was not in custody that two parish constables had
been there, and were then summoning a Coroner's Jury.
Sir R. Brame remarked, that the constables had acted
in an extraordinary manner, in smothering a case within
a few yards of the office.
• A short time afterwards the surgeon attended, and stated
that he'had examined the body, which exhibited no marks
of ill usage. He considered that Jacobs had died of .apo-
plexy. It had. been 'rumoured that the deceased and' his
wife had had a violent quarrel previous to his death, but
that was contradicted.

THE RECORDER'S REPORT.
FOUR MEN ORDERED FOR. EXECU'TION.,
