AtiicnoTa.,—lnthe year 1807, a frigate was
built at Bourdemix. It was related at the time,
and confidently believed, that some English Naval'
Officers had Come,in disguise to Bourdeanz, to re-
connoitre this vessel without being discovered, and
that they left behind them a letter directed to the
master-shipwright under whose directiln it was
built, saying that the frigate was a very fine one,-
anti desiring him to get it ready for sea as soon as
possible; because the English were in want of it. It
was in fact taken three years afterwards at- the
mouth of the river.'

We mentioned a few days agn, that a system of
smuggling carried on by the British ships had
been detected at Archangel, Btc.• We are .now
sorry to add that similar proceedings have been
discovered at Cronstadt, Revel, and St. Peters-
burgb,.which are likely to be attended with serious
losses.-toltheltitrt jet concerned. The Russian Go.
vern went, by their acts, sanctioned the admission
into their port& of plain cottons, excluding those
which were printed; but in 'consequence of. an in).-
proper un&rstancling bet weep the British captains
and the Custom-louse ()Veers, 'printed cotton
were generally substituted for plain. 'The praclice..
was first discovered by a change having taken
place in the Russian officers on duty at the didt-
tent Custom-houses. - -

The preparations for, building the new Post-.
Office begin to corm a conspicuous object in:the
City. Many houses have already been pulled
dawn, and others' kire about to disappear, Ns- bich
at present occupy the: intended site of the-new
Establishnient.

The original book upon which all our KINGS
front HENRY the First to EDwAtID the Sixth -took
the Comuation Oath is now in the library, of 'a
Gentleman in ,Norfolk. It is a manuscript of the
Four Evangelists, written on vellum; the fortis
and beauty of the letters nearly approaching to
Roman eapi.!als. It appears to have been -written,
and fitted up for the coronation of Henry the
First. The original binding, which is still in a
perfect -state, consists of two ,oaken boards, nearly
an inch thick„_ fastened together with stout
thongs cif leather, ant the corners defended by-
large bosses of brass. On thq right hand side.
(as he book opened). of the Onter cover is a
crucifix of brass, doable gilt, which was kiSsed by
the Kings upon their inaugeration, and the whole
is fpstencd tagether by a strong clasp of brass
fixed to.'a— broad piece of leather, nailed on with
two large brass pins.
Major FERREas, of the ,9th Regiment of Poor,
was accidentally killed on the 17th inst. by falling
from the naMpa.rts at.Cambray, whilst going 'his
nightly round.

MURDERS AT. PENDLETON.—WC have .heard
from the best authority, that a transport of the
name. of Win. Salmon, on his way with others to
the hulks, last week-, informed Sutcliffe, (the per.'
son who had the care of them) that the 'Ash-.
crofts wanted him to assist them.in the robbery.
'‘at Pendleton- but: when he understood that it
was also necessary .to -commit murder, he woulA
have' nothing to do witla them. if any thing more.:
were wanting to•confirm their guilt, and to soothe
the minds of the public, this coulession must,
surely be most ellectual,—(La'ncaster Paper.)
FRAUD.—Amongst other tricks played upon. the
Public is the following ;—A fellow, dressed in a
linen jacket,. calls at the houses of 'respectable
persons (having first watched the master going
abroad), and in a basket produces to the servant
some articles, generally vegetables,
.which he says
the master has purchased; demanding payment for
them, and which, when examined, turn out to be
of little or no. Value. A quantity of cucumbers
were lately left in Carey-street, mid the sum paid
for them by an incautious housekeeper was lOs.;
a bushel of cauliflowers was tendered in the same
way -in Prince's-street, Bedford-row, but there the
servant was too wary to be cheated. :
CAR-ROLL. the Coniractor, begs leave to call
