Authorities—popularity to the Administration—
and vigour and prosperity to the Trade, Manu-
factures, and Navigation of the Empire.

We are not inclined to pursue-this subject much
further, but to content ourselves by referring ge-
nerally to the present state of things in the
Monied and Commercial World, and to the state
of our Relations abroad. The omission to guard,
at the General Peace, against the surrender of
the Fluridas by Spain to the United States, must
ever be a cause of regret to the trading interests
of the Country ; and the voluntary surrender to
the Americans, without Any equivalent, of the
Fisheries of Newfoundland, on the Coasts of the
Labrador, and on the• Shores of
,British North
America, must produce events that cannot fail to
prove injurious to the Trade and Navigation of
the Kingdom, and at the same time render
doubtful, id those Seas, the Maritime Superiority
of Old England, which was once its glory and its
pride.

EKTENSIVB DEPREDATIONS.'--Yesterday James
Johnson was charged at the Mans:on House,
with plundering the house of Mr. Munk-
house, of Aldgate, surgeon, of • propei ty
to a considerable amoun,t. The prosecutor stated,
that the prisoner had been his confidential as--
sistant for years, during which rime, how-
ever, he had missed property to an alarming
amount. The prisoner was constantly railing
against the unknown thieves, and devising pu-
nishment for them. His, own integrity of
course was not suspected, every thing being com-
mitted to his care. Servants were discharged in
consequence of the robberies. A few days since
the witness discovered a paper parcel, which in-
duced him, for the first time, to suspect the pri-
soner. Ile found the contents to be a valuable
quantity of tapioca. He in consequence set a
watch upon the prisoner, who was observed
to visit the spot where the'pareel was secreted,
and leave the house with it. He was followed by
witness and an officer to the door of his -resi-
dence, where they stopped, and searched him,
by request of the prosecutor, who said he did
it in order to give a colour to his taking the
same step with a young Gentleman in his house
with whom he had got a fee of three hundred
guineas. To the confusion of the prisoner, the
tapioca was found in his possession, together with
a quantity of other articles. Witness had nor
only been robbed of goods from the wary to.us ,
but of household linen, wearing apparel, eicc.—
, The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
