CIIAAII3EIt OF DEPUTIES, Drc.

The Sitting opened at half-past one o'clock.,---
The' &eeper of the SealS and the Minister of the
Interior were on the Ministerial Bench.
The Count de Bemis, the. reporter of the com-
mittee of petitions, called the attention of the
Chamber to one which -prayed for a tax of 'the
10th part of a franc on landed and personal pro-
perty, for the relief of the poor who were un-
able to gain their livelihood by labour. He
stated that the Committee had authorised him to
move the order of the day on this petition.
M. Duhamel, in seconding the motion for the
rejection of this petition, observed, that experi-
ence had already show❑ the evil of such a tax in
England ; it had led to the production of vagrancy
and crime. It ought to be rejected immediately
Be lamented the alarming increase of beggars
throughout France, and proposed that beggarS
should be registered ; and that the license (or
certificate) of begging should not be granted with
such facility as at present.—Order of.the day.
A petition from the olive-grocers of the de-
partment of the Var, amounting to 56,000, was
then noticed it prayed relief from the' tai► im-
posed on that branch of cultivation, on account of
the heavy losses sustained from the frosts of the
year 18'20.
The petition was referred to the Minister of
Finance.

The Reporter.—The Sieur Revol, merchant of
Faris, complains of the fatal consequences of the
passion for gaming, and the evils which the open
houses cause to persons addicted to that vice. He
therefore prays that those houses may be shut up,
and severe penalties inflicted on all persons at-
tending any of the kind. The Committee shares
the sentiments of the petitioner, but refraining
from assuming an initiative which does not belong
to it, has directed me to propose that this peti-
tion be referred to the Minister of Finance.

M. de Bourienne observed, that the reference
ought to be to the Minister of the Interior.
The Reporter said that the petitio❑ might be
referred to both Ministers.

The question was pit, on the reference to the
Minister of the Interior. awl
A can thou nas .ntade for also referring the
petition to the Committee on the Budget: but
the question being put on this reference, it was
negatived. _ _ _

M. Chabrol de Crouzol was elected fourth
Vice-president of the. Chamber. He had .164
votes, and the other candidate, M. Delalot, 130.

CORRECTIONAL POLICE.

The seventh Charnhcr of First instance has
pronounced judgmeht in the affair of Viscount de
Montclegier and Colonel Barbier Dufay. 'fere
follows the sentenw, with the grounds on which
it is passed : . .

" In regard to the complaint of General de Montelegier
" Seeing that it results from the instruction of the process that
towards the middle of the month of July last, Colonel- Dufay
caused to be printed and distrilited, a writing containing a letter
dated May 20, addressed by him to General Montelegier:
" That in the said letter he accuses General Montelegier of
having calumniated him in the most odious and wicked man-
ner, before the first court of the kingdom, and before all
France ; adding, that the declaratiOn of the. General, the sole
author of that fiction and of many others, is an impudent
falsehood, and that he degrades himself too much in correspond-
ing with a beElg so base and so demoralized ; that, in fine, he
therein provoked him to a combat a outrunce, in the Most gross
and most insulting terms : '
" That the said letter was written on the 20th of May, three
days after the General had given his deposition in the Court of
Peers, w ich happened on the 17th :
" That. all the journals of the 18th, one only excepted, " The
Journal des D6bats," in 'reporting this deposition, cited the
name of Colonel Fabvier, and not that of Dufay ; that Dufay
could not, and ought not to have been ignorant of this fact
before writing that letter, in which he states, that on that day
the " Journals des Dthats" of the 18th had accidentally fallen
into his hands :

" That accordingly, from that moment, he could have no
doubt that the " Journal des Debats" had committed an error,
and that Ger.. Montelegier really had not mentioned him in his
deposition before the Cumber of Piers :
" That afterwards, he could as little doubt that the answer to
the said letter, which he has also published, emanating from
General Montelegier, and dated on the same day, states that
Dufay had never Peen mentioned either to or by him :-
"' That it is, therefore,' knowingly and wickedly, and with the
d-asign-of compelling the said-General Montelegier to meet him
for a combat a out raw,; that Colonel Dufay printed andalistri-
huted the said defamatory writing :
" Seeing that on the 26th of July last Colonel Dufay caused
to be printed and circulated a second writing, in which he stat-
ed, in speaking of Gan. Montelegier, that it would not be easy
for the tribunals to pronounce the innocence of the author of
" An end of General Bon .;" and farther on, that being.present
on the 23d ofJanuary, in the house of Gen. Montelegier, the said
General presented a pair of pistols to his (Dufay's) breast, and
drew the trigger, but that tlse priming did not take fire; that
these defamatory and calumnious facts are contradicted by the
persons who were present, and by an ordinance of the Chamber
of Council, dated August 18:—That Dufay is therefore guilty
of the crimes provided against by articles 13, 14, 13, and 19 of
the law of May 17, 1819.
"With regard to the complaint of Colonel Dufay against
General Montelegier
" Seeing that General Montelegier, instead of despising the
before-mentioned insults and calumnies, or of proceeding legally
against them, caused to be printed. and distributed a letter, ad-
dressed by him to Colonel Dufay, in which he says, A wretch
covered- with infamy, who lies been condemned to the gallies,
exposed in the pillory, and implicated in the criime of Louver,
has no right to claim an affair of honour,, nor even to speak
of it :'— .
" That General Montelegier, notwithstandinulds haying
been insulted, calumniated,. and provoked in the most outrage-
cus manner, is,
.nevertheless; reprehensible for taking justice
into his own hands, by punishing the said letter.
In pursuance.' therefore, of artides 13, 14,18, and 19 of the
law of the 17th of May, 1919,
", The Tribunal coxidertm. s colonel Dufay to an imprison-
ment pc one month, 500 francs fine, and 'to the payment of five-
sixths of the expences. •
" And .General Montelegier to 25 francs of fine, and one-
sixth of the expences.
" The Tribunal also orders the suppression of the three writ-

tgs in question. With regard to the other requests and conclu-
sions of the parties, they are put out of the cause."
" Colonel Dufay has entered an appeal against this judg-
ment."
PARIS, Dec. ‘27.--(Pripate Letler.)—" Yes-
terdav, in the Chamber of Deputies, a Ministe-
rial Vice-President was elected in opposition to
M. de Lalot, an Ultra-Royalist candidate, who
was supported by the left side. M. de Cazes has
at last given in his resignation as Ambassador to
England. The following strange story is current
here as to the cause of this resignation is said
that he has taken this step, not so much in con-
sequence of the change of Ministry, as in con-
sequence of a conversation which the King of
England had with the authorities at Calais on his
way to Hanover. When dining there with the
Duke de Chartres and M. de Jumilhac, the King
asked the former who was to be Minister of
France at his Court in the room of M. de Cares'
The Duke said be did not know any thing of the
matter. Then, turning to the General, his Ma-
jesty asked if he knew who was to be M. de
Cares' successor ? The same reply followed.—
It was of course concluded that, whoever was to
be French Ambassador in London, his Majesty
did not expect to see M./de Cares return to his
former functions. M. de Blacas is spoken of as
the future Ambassador, and his place will be sup-
plied at Rome by M. Laval-Montmorency, who
was lately Ambassador at Madrid.
" A caricature is shewn about among a certain
portion of the Liberals at Paris, representing the
young Napoleon,.with the aid of Bertrand and
Montholon, rolling a snow-ball. Behind there
are seen bodies of armed men, and on the ball is
written,' Ilse grossira.'
" You will see in the Papers of to-day the
judgment passed yesterday, by the Court of
Correctional Police, on General Montelegier and
Col. Barbier Dufay, whose fatal duel with Count
St. Morys excited so much attention some years
ago. The Court condemned them both : the first
to a nominal fine for an abusive letter, and the
latter to pay a fine, and to suffer one month's im-
prisonment. The parties immediately appealed
to another Court. M. Barbier Dufay, who was
at liberty for three days to prosecute a review of
the sentence, sent Montelegier a challenge,
which the latter did not think himself warranted
in refusing. They fought this morning with
swords, and Montelegier was severely wounded
in the right shoulder. The second of M. Monte-
legier was Augustus La Rochejaquelin, Colonel
of the Royal Guards.
C‘ I have seen a copy of the Austrian Observer,
from which I have extracted the following para-
graph, containing the latest news from Constan-
tinople :

CONSTANTINOPVC, Nov. 27.

" Dely Abdullah, who has hitherto occupied the post of Cap-
tain Pacha, and who enjoyed a great consideration, has been re-
moved and nominated Pacha of Kaza-Hessar. Nevertheless, as
lie is one of the Pachas specially appointed to watch over the safety
of the capital and its suburbs, he will not immediately proceed
to his new govaiunent. Several other changes have taken place
ainong the Paellas of provinces. If the news lately received'
from Albania can be relied on, the events to which they refer
will have great influence on the fate of the Norco,. Chourchild
Pacha has assured the Port that he will soon deliver it from Ali
Pacha, the most dangerous of its enemies. He had taken by
which wsc, re.ga. rdcti as the laal. strong hold of
the power of the Pacha of Jannina ; and he had sworn by his
own head, that that of the rebel should soon be stuck on the
gates of the'Seraglio.
.4 The news from Persia is alarming to the Turks. The Per-
sians had taken, .on the upper Euphrates, the city of hlusch,
and approached Erzerum. On the side of Bagdad, they had.
advanced to Kerkuk, but they had been repulsed by .the inha-
bitants, and had thrown themselves into the villages of the
neighbourhood. The Persian Prince, who commanded the
troops, had announced that he had received orders from his
Ether to retreat. In the meantime the Pacha of Bagdad did
not trust him, but formed his defence with the greater activity.
It is generally believed here that Bagdad is in a state pot to fear
any attack. By news from Aleppo, it would appear that the
treachery of Kiaja, Chief of the Turkish troops, his secret
desire to supplant the Pacha and to succeed to his honours,
were the causes of the late irruption of the Persians on the
Ottoman territory. There have broken out several fires in this
capital within the last few weeks, but they were soon got under
by the activity of the Authorities. Government has wisely
taken precautions to prevent the crowds which usually assemble
on such occasions. Nevertheless; some soldiers arid others of
the. loWer classes lately took the opportunity of these as-
semblages to commit great excesses. The safety of persons
and property was for some days endangered. The Ambas-
sadors of Austria and England made strong representations
on the subject, and obtained from the Ministers of the Porte
the assurance that every means would be employed to stop the
disorders. The Ottoman Government did not forget to allege,
in justification of the people, the excesses committed in the
Morea by the Greeks on the Turkish inhabitants. Circum-
stances have at last determined the Porte to introduce into
Turkey the European formalities of passports. It is known
that up to the present moment foreigners, as well as natives,
enjoyed the most üblimited freedom to travel in all directions.
The Ottoman Government has at last ordered that all tra-
vellers must supply themselVes Si itli passports to continue their

routes.

'There have been, in the present and past month, violent
storms in the Black Sea, by which several' vessels have been
wrecked. Of this number was an Austrian brig, wrecked
on the coast of Romelia, in which, out of twelve men, seven
perished."

the Channel, near Malta, and the entrance of the
Adriatic Sea.

We have lately received news of the great
victory obtained by the Greeks, near Samos and
Scala Nuova, which has • thrown the Dey into
the greatest alarm.
We expect here a Prussian agent, who had
been for some time at Marseilles. This agent,
it is said, is to enter into negociations with this
Regency. The Tuscan Government is also seek-
ing to renew its negociations for peace, and has
applied for this purpose to the English Consul.
STOCKHOLM, DEC. 11.—The Government has
reduced one half of the duty on the importation
of hops, and will return the difference on those
already imported, if applied for, by the end of
the year. The brewers of this city applied so
far back as September, for permission to import
100 ship pounds of hops (a ship pound being
nearly 4001b5.) duty free. The present regula-
tion comes rather late, and we are really in dan-
ger of being without beer, which is of the
greatest importance, as the health of the people
is concerned. Our navigation is still open, and
shipments are made for Finland.
ST. PETERSBURGH, DEC. 4.—The winter has
not yet properly set in either in the capital or in
the environs. The weather is very mild, the
roads almost impassable, and all the rivers open
again. Should this weather continue for some
weeks, as it is feared, we may experience a sen-
sible decrease in the importation of provisions,
which would in such a case become very dear.
Accounts from Constantinogrod (in the Go-
vernment of, Poltowa) say, that on the 16th Oct.
there was such a fall of snow as the oldest inhabi-
tants do not remember. The narrower streets
and gates were entirely blocked up by it.
IhNovEn., DEc.l.9.—Their Royal Highnesses
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will return,
here to-day. They left Gotha yesterday, and
intended to sleep at. Gottingen. It is said that
after the holidays their Royal Highnesses will go
to Berlin, and spend there a great part of the
winter.

Two persons were brought in prisoners here
under a strong escort a few days ago ; they were
apprehended at Leipzig, on the application of
the Government of the Netherlands. They were
sent the next day from here to Osnabruck,
to be conducted to Holland. One is said to be
a Captain, the other a Subaltern i❑ the service
of the Netherlands.

lIAMBURGII, Dt.c. W.—We have received from
Vienna letters of the 12th, reporting that, ac-
cording to letters from Semlin, there had been a
great insurrection of the Janissaries at Constanti-
nople, in which the Sultan was assassinated, and
all the Christians in Pera were massacred ; and
that Pera and several other quarters of Constan-
tinople had been burned.

ander the warrant of Colonel Crosbie, for taking
and administering unlawful oaths.
On the 18th instant, the Rev. William Power,
of Atrane, received a letter requiring him to re-
duce his tithes, &c., signed " Captain Rock."
On the same night, a visit was paid to several
farmers, cautioning them against paying him on
pain of death ; and also notices were posted on
the Chapels of Aglis and Boberavohera to the
same effect.—(Wateiford Paper.)
On Sunday last George Ormsby, Esq. of
Gourtner-Abbey, committed to the county gaol
in this town, Thomas Paughney of Ballineety, in
the Baroqy of Tyrawley, charged with being a
leader of Ribbonmen, and with having admini-
stered illegal oaths.—(Maio Constitution.)
Loan OrtmosnE.—Our readers will learn with
much regret, that, in consequence of a fall on the
Castle steps, this morning, one of the small bones
of his Lordship's arm was fractured. The assist-
ance of Surgeon Pack wls immediately obtained,
and we are happy to state that the accident is
unlikely to produce any dangerous results what-
soev.r.—(Kitkenny Moderator of Monday.)

SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1821.

We have this morning received New York
Papers to the 9th November, and with them the
Message' of the PRESIDENT of the United States
to Congress, of which we subjoin the follom ing
abstract :

" The progress of our affairs since the last Ses-
sions has been such, as may be justly claimed
and expected under a Government deriving all
its powers from an enlightened people. In the
concerns which are exclusively internal, there is
good cause to be satisfied with the result; the
laws have had their due operation and effect.
In those relating to Foreign Powers, I am happy
to state that peace and amity arc preserved with
all, by a strict observance on both sides of the
rights of each, in matters touching our commer-
cial intercourse. Where a difference of opinion
has existed in any case, as to the conditions on
which it should be placed,"each party has pur-
sued its own policy, without giving just cause
of offence to the other. By an Act of the
31 s t of March, 1815, so much of the several
Acts as imposed higher duties on the tonnage of
foreign vessels, and on the manufactures and
productions of foreign nations, when imported
into the United States in foreign vessels, than
when imported in vessels of the United States,
were repealed. When the nature of commerce
between the United States and every Other cOun-
try was taken into view, it was thought that this
proposition would be considered fair, and even
liberal, by every Power. The exports of the
United States consist generally of articles of the
first necessity, and of raw materials. Many con-
siderations of great weight give us a right to ex-
pect that this commerce should be extended to
the Colonies as well as to the European Dominions
of other Powers; with the latter, especially with
countries manufacturing, the advantage was
manifestly on our side ; an indemnity for
all loss on their side was expected from a
trade with the Colonies. Such was the basis
of our system, as established by the Act of
1815, and such its true character. In the year
in which this Act was passed a treaty was con-
cluded with Great Britain, in strict conformity
with its principles, in regard to her European
Dominions. To her Colonies, in the West Indies
and on Cois Continent, it was not extended; the
British Government claimed the exclusive sup-
ply of those colonies ; to this claim the United
States could not consent, and hi consequence
each party suspended the intercourse in the

vessels of the other, by prohibitions which still
exist. The same conditions were offered to
France but not accepted; her Government has
demanded other conditions more favourable to

the Government of France has excited not less
surprise than concern, because there does not
appear to be a just foundation for it in either
instance.

The principle of the system of reciprocity,
founded on the law of the 31st March 1815,
has been since carried into effect with the
King of the Netherlands, Sweden, Prussia,
Hamburgh, Bremen, Lubeck, and Oldenburg.
The Government of Norway has by an Ordi-
nance opened the ports of that part of the domi-
nions of the King of Sweden, to vessels of the
United States, upon the payment of no other
higher duties than are paid by the Norwegian
vessels. The question concerning the construc-
tion of the first article of the Treaty of Ghent,
has been, by a joint act of the Representatives of the
United States and of Great Britain, at the Court
of St. Petersburgh, submitted to the decision of
his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia,
'the result of which has not yet been received.—
With Spain the Treaty of February 22, 1819,
has been partly carried into execution. Posses-
sion of East and West Florida has been given up
to the United States; it has been seen with much
concern that in the performr.nce of these duties
a collision arose between the Governor of the
territory, and the Judge appointed for the
Western disVict.

In compliance with an injunction of the law
of the 3d March, tliree.Commissioners have a 1,9
been appointed, and a Board organized, for car-
rying into effect the 11th article of the Treaty
above recited, making pro Visions for payment of
such of our citizens as have well-founded claims
on Spain. This Board has entered on its cluti~ s,
and made some progress.
The Government of his Most Faithful iThl-
jesty, since the termination of the last Session of
Congress, has been removed from Rio Janeiro to
Lisbon, where a revolution.had occurred s;.rollar
to that in Spain.

It is understood that the Colonies in South
America have bad great success during the pre-
sent year in the struggle for their independence.
In conducting the financial operations of the
year, it has been found necessary to carry into
effect a loan of five millions of dollars. This
sum has been raised at a premium of five dollars

59 cents per cent. upon stock bearing an interest
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum.
A considerable increase of domestic manufac-
tures, by diminishing the importations of foreign,
will probably tend to lessen the amount of the
public revenue.

It cannot be doubted that the more complete
our internal resources, and the less dependtnt
we are on foreign Powers for every national 3 s
well as domestic purpose, the greater arid mote
stable will be the public felicity by the increa'e
of domestic manufactures.

The examination of the whole coast for the
construction of permanent fortifications from St•
Croix to the Sabine, will be completed in t',e,
present year. Due progress has been made in
the construction of vessels of war, accorditl-. to
the laws provided.
Deeply impressed with the blessings we en.loY,
and of which we have seen manifold proofs, w 7
mind is irresistibly drawn to that Almighty Being,
the great source from which they proceed, and to
whom our most grateful acknowledgments are due.
" Washington, Dec. 3, 1821. JAMES MONROE."
THE SPEIKER.—The Flag from Tamm,...ny
Hall announces another Republican victory ; and
upon inquiry, we learn with pleasure, that Mr.
P. 11. BARLOW, of Virginia, • has been elected
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, DEC. 4.—On the arrival cf the
Members here, it was decided to vote for Mr.
NELSON or Mr. RonmEY. Oa a conference, it
was thought that Mr. NELSON could e. ; ve

elected ; it was therefore determined to ; .tura

Mr. ItoDNEy.

Ilamburgh Journals to the 22d inst., and the
Moniteur of Thursday, have arrived since our
last, from which we give extracts in our peced,-
ing columns. They announce fresh triumphs 03
the part of the Greeks,- and repeat the report of
an insurrection having taken place at Cootait-

tinople ; but . this intelligence appears to have
been derived from the same source as the former

accounts, and is in want of further corroboratioft
-before it can be entitled to credit) though we con'

skier it a very probable occurrence.

FOR THE SUN:

THE GREEKS.

MR. EDITOR-1 came a short time since from
Stanemore, in Westmoreland, and having been recommended
to this Coffee-house as an agreeable place to dine at, at a mo-
derate expence—l followed the advice of my country neigh-
bours, and I find them, from my experience, justified in their
recommendation of it —Little acquainted With the Town, my
evenings have been principally occupied in the perusal of the
London Newspapers, and especially of all those articles which
in any way related to the generous ,and noble efforts of the
Greeks to rescue themselves from the bondage and tyranny of
their Turkish Masters. I have, however, felt, great mortifica-
tion in observing two Papers,—one a Morning and another an
Evening Paper, which arc considered, as it were, to be con-
nected with; the Government, availing themselves of every op-
portunity to deprest..and degrade the conduct and character of
the Greeks, and endLvouring to excite an adversefeeling to
the Grecian Cause, without...openly and baldly avowing the
grounds on which THEY think 'ffie Greeks are not entitled to
the support and commiseration of • the British Government and
Nation:—There has been shewn throng-bent the whole of the
autumn, in the observations of these two Pifrirs,-Fach a little-
ness of spirit on this interesting subject—demi-oflidiel as it
is—which does not accord with the high tone and -fe'eling,
which is in other respects assumed by the advocates of The 110 l
Alliance ; but be,that as it may, it is quite inconsistent with
the former magnanimous character of Great Britain, and in
'the end will bring shame and disgrace upon the country, un-
less the Government, on the opening of Parliament, candidly
avows the principles by which it tis influenced with respect to
Turkey in the present state of affairs in Europe, and can shew
that it is the interest of this Country at this time to attempt to
perpetuate a system as injurious to z)itr trade as it is contrary
to the better feelings and affections of our nature.
• It is many years since I read the works of Mr. ETi-iN and
other writers on the political relations of England, Russia, and
Turkey ; but I believe it is now universally admitted that it
is for the benefit of European Commerce in general that the
Turkish Government should have no power 'or controul in Eu-
rope, and that the passage to the Black Sea should be free; and
therefore it is considered, by well-informed practical men,
to be the duty of this Government, if they do not choose to sup-
port the Greeks in their glorious' struggle for national indepen-
dence, to TO BE NEUTER, and not to give any assistance what- •
ever to the Turks.

• On the King's Government in the lonian Isles I will not
now venture to offer a comment ; but if HALF what 'I
heard in the coach between Cambridge and London be true,
I am not surprised at the indignant spirit which has been shewn
by His Majcsty's New Subjects in those Islands. It is really
abominable that, in any newly acquired Dependencies or Settle-
ments—principles and rules of Government should be adopted
which are UNKNOWN in the immediate Kingdom of the Ruling
Powertsj The obloquy which is attempted to be thrown on the
condu,Xof rive orave and unfortunate people is evidently with a
view to palliate and justify the harsh proceedings which have been
adopted against them, and which from the information I have
received from learned and respectable indiViduals whO have re-
ently returned from Greece, I believe to be altogether unne-
cessary and uncalled for : but to remove any doubt of the truth
of this assertion, it is the intention of a distinguished Literary
Character to publish soon, a narrative of the sufferings of this
insulted and injured people, which, from his own personal ob-
servations and experience, cannot fail to make a strong impres-
sion on the public mind. His talents and rank Tender him
indifferent to time frowns of power, and he will doubtlessly ex.
hibit in its true colours every interesting particular which has
occurred in the administration of the affairs of the lonian
Islands, since they were INTRU-STED to the special protection
of Great Britain. Many interesting anecdotes, and strange and
curious circumstances, will be shewn to have occurred in the
intercourse between the lonian Government and Am DACHA
and the Turks. Some facts will be elicited, Which will shake
the nerves and shock-the feelings of the modern Whigs, but
which will convince the world—if it were wanting—that the
most clamorous partisans for general rights are too often,
when invested with power, the most illiberal, intolerant, and
despotic. BUNCLE REDIVIVUS.

Dick's Coffee-house, Dec. 29, 1821.

As it is our main intention to support the Re-
ligion of the Country, we cannot but be highly
gratified in being the medium of the admir-.
able Letter on Atheism, which appears in
THE SUN of this day. Having the honour
to possess the patronage of the Clergy, and
of many Members of our Universities, we con-
celve that our Paper will this day receive
the particular approbation of those learned
bodies, as it not only puts the general arguments
in support of a Supreme Being with unusual
force, but offers many others which • are by no
means • familiar, and are, indeed, striking and
irrefragable.

DovEn, Dtc. 30.—The long succession of gales from the
Southward and South-West caused an accumulation of beach
at the mouth of Dover Harbour, which it has not experienced
fcir more than thirty year past. This occasions some interrup-
tion of the daily intercourse between Dover and the Continent.
The cessation of the gales, and the wind having come round to
the Northward, the mouth of the harbour has been cleared by
the force of the back-water ; and this afternoon sailed for Calais'
with the mail and passengers, his Majesty's packet Chichester'
a French packet, and the Rob Roy steam vessel.—One of our
boys, with a valuable lading of groceries, which, during the late
severe gales, ran for shelter into Ramsgate, received so much
damage whilst in that harbour, by the heavy swell of sea to which
the internal parts of it are so much exposed, and her consequent
