" Ai present .ve have not one ship. of the, line
in there seas. Sir Alex. Cochrane has .his flag
flying On board the Statira frigate; he is anxiously
looking 'tor hiS Commission as Governor of Guada-
loupe. Our troops are very sialcly indeed in that
,Island ; and one regiment .(the.3d bait. 60th) has
lost nunibers:— The'rest 'of the command is reported
to be as healthy as it ever can be expected at this
season.

This'island is Visited by -great numbers of
'American vessels ;,they are so numerous that only a
small proportion can find a market. 'Those that do
sell carry off all our cash. Colonial produce js high,
as you will perceive by our inclosed prices current,
and this Island is over-stocked by every kind 'of
'British manufacture."

" The Prince ifelolphus packet arrived on Wed-
nesday, in 32 days, from Isct 'mouth; with the Mail
due for June. The Opossum sloop of war has ar,

Halifax, as have the following men of war
Glvire, Peruvian, and Swaggerer, for Tobago ;

and Frolic for M.iitinique,
" A very •severe squall and tempestuous sea
threatened the vessels at this anchorage the greater
part of Sunday, and throughout the most of the
night forrunalely, however, the injury done has
been co►►fined to a single vessel (the Arnettcan.
schooner Laura), which patted soon after eight.
o'clock at night, and was driven on the south side of
tie Pier, near the old Fort, where the surge very
soou made. a complete wreck of her; happily the

which (about

'BUONAPARTE has ordered -the Clergy *of the ci-
devan't Pontifical StateS, to be treated as rebels to the
Temporal Authority, if they do not, by a certain
time, take the oaths he has prescribed. Will the
Romish Clergy of-the PatriMony of Saint Peter, who
lived with and formed the Court and Government,
of the Church, act with the same spirit; and devote
them Selves to the same hard proofs of their honesty
and their faith,. which were exhibited by the suffer-
ing Clergy of France,'who, fled 'frost: their 'native
country, .and some of whom are yet lingering out
their existence here in conscientious povetty ? Or
will they, with !Ife s.Abb6 MAURY and others, 'find
prudential reasons for yielding to the foe of .their
Church 'and the suhVerter of.their Pontificate ?

Wednesday civening, between the hours of 7-and

Gentleman, in the LOwer Road, Islington, were,

UNioN,i-tALi.—A man named John Kohl/le, Was
brought, bplore the• Sitting Magistrate, charged by
one of the Constables of 'St. John's; on suspicion of
having stolen a I.lrge Westphalia ham. It appeared
that the prisoner .was stopped by the Constable near
the river on ThurOay night, between ten and, eleven
o'clock, with a sack across, his shoulder,- containing,
the ham in question. When asked What the sack
contained, he said chips. The constable's sense of
feelingi-however, Convincing him this was tibt a true
statement, he insisted on tearching the sack, upon
which the prisoner threw it down, and endeavoured
to make 'his. escape, but was secured. Upon the.
ham being produced, the prisonertold the Magistrate
that it, was given to him .by a friend hJonging to
the good ship 'Antelope; who knew he was ton'd of
a relish:
,On being desired by the Magistrate to send
for the friend who gave him the ham,., he said that
was out of his poxer, as the ship sailed for New-
foundl4nd immediately after he lett her.
The Magistrate fined him 40s. and costs; under,
the Hovering Act, which not being prepared to pay,
he was committed to the House of Correction for a
month. •

Gut LD H A 13..!—Yesterday Mt..sars. Pellatt and
Green,. Patentees of the Glass Illut*nators, charged
before the. worthy Alderman a glassman of the
name of Hart, a Jew, residing in Petticoat-lane, and
his wile, in whose possession had been tou'oC a
number of the patent glass illuminators in an unpo-
lihed state.

The wife of Mr. Hart stated, that she was in the
habit of going round among all the old,glass shops,
and purchasing broken crystal to a great amount,
and that her ltu,band had nothing to do with this
branch of the business. She yurchased to the
amount, of -many hundred weight weekly, and
among a quantity of broken glass, purchased some
time ago, she had picked, out the articles in Tres-
tioit. She could not, however, tell (the glass hav-
ing been' all colic-Cie,' into one heap) of Whoni she
had 'purchased them.
Mr. fellatt swore to three large and eight small
illuminators, as being his property, and produced,
the casts from whence they had been taken. He
was convinced too, that the,others, to a still greater
number, were also his property; but he would not
swear to tnem. 'He was certain that they ccluld not
have been sold out of his shop, as he never. sold'any
of, t hem. in an 'unpolished state.
The worthy Aldermin (DoMvILLE) ordered the
illuminators sworn to b) Mr. Pellati, to beidelivered
over to him. They were undoubtedly his property,
and he therefore liad'a right to them. One half of.
the articles purchased by these old icon and old
glass,shops were stolen; and 'such a disposal as he'
now made of these illuminators would only tend to
render such general receivers as Hart ancients wife'
more on their guard as to what they purchased.
MA,NSIO.N-L.LOUS.—Yesterday a woman, named'
Elizabeth Bur:,ess, Was charged by a Mri..l3erijamin,
of, No. 20, .131;k-es-place, with robbing her of .her
'pockets, containing 2001, in Bank dotes.
th-prisoner lived as servant with the prosecuttii,
Th4.pocketi were locked up in' a box iniler re)etn,.
and' hearing a fOotstep from the room where she
sat, .she went upstairs , to, see who was there,' and
met the. prisoner coming out. On .goitieg into 'the
roots she found her box had been oiene.d, and the
property stolen ; she *immediately fdllowed the
prisoner down stairs to the kiicheb„: where she had'
poked something into the fire, «Mitch was completely
consumed before it could bd extricated, and was slap-
posed to be the pockets: She. did not immediately,
search the prisoner, and therefore she could not tell
whether tb-,!,notes were also barnt. But on raking'
amongst the ashes, a key was found, which precisely.
fitted the lock of the box from which the property
wes taken. •
The prisoner was fully committed for trial. ,

CURiOI.74 ROBBERY.—An uninhabited hebse, -the

Vents the flames from conamutiicating to the adja-
cent buildings, in which • were deposited 'all the
