Ilse, the vivacity and excellent effect wit►► which
they played against the place.
The requisite materials being ready, the breach-
ing battery for three IS-pounders was marked
out itt a distance of about two hundred and fifty
yards, and elected during the ensuing night. At

A breach was effected at five o'clock in the af-
ternoon of the 19th instant, but the:immense ex-
tent of Chanda, and the assurance's of Major
Goreham, that he should he able during the night
to prevent the enemy from throwing up any work
inside, induced me to defer, the at tack till the fol-
lowing morning, with the view that I might have
the ,Whole day before me.

Extract from .a Report from Captain- Swanston,.Commanding
the Second Division of the Pouna Auxiliary Horst., to the
Political Azetit in Kandeiiii, dated Camp, at Chandure,
9th .June ;4ia, inclosed in a Letter from Mr. Elphinstune
to Mr. Warden, dated 4th July 1818.

I have the honour to inform you 'hot imme-
diately on the receipt of your letter of yesterday's
date, I marched from Malliganm upon Cliandore,
leaving my baggage to follow me to that town.
At Chandore I arrived at seven o'clock P. M.
halted there an )lour and a halt to refresh my
horses, and again moved forward to the village of
Aheirpomt, which place I reached at day light
this morning.
A•, I had moved on when within six. miles of
the village at a very ()nick pace, to prevent all
intelligence of my approach arriving hefore my-
self, I was enabled to surround the village, force
open the gates, and take,possession of the house
of Trimhuckjee'Dainglia, before lie or any person
in the place was aware of my approach.
Trimbuckjee was at this moment lying on his
cot, and had but time to fly to the upper part of
the- houie, ;where he concealed hinistelf among
some straw. He was, however, soon ,discovered,
and seized without the smallest resistio,ce.

These' Orders and Returns have not been received.

TO COIMESPONDENTS.

We have received several Letters, apparently from a Lady,
in a distant County, in the last of wilicb,„*.nitaining what
she styles " A ray of the Millennium come down from
Heaven," addressed to the Editor of tfr;s Paper, she says,
" You and I are to be made the instruments of divine
wisdom in manifesting, &c. &c. &c. to the Gentiles." As
we do nut presume that we are reserved to share in such an
honour, we beg to decline the future favours of our in-
spired Correspondent.

tNew Times.]

The accounts from Holland are still inauspi-
cious ; another 'failure had taken place, and up to
the 24th instant very little business had been
done k but of that little the tendency was rather
to improve the prices than othvrwire. None of
these circumstances appear to
_affect our own
Funds much. Considerable losses indeed have
occasioned this account, owing to the fluctua-
tions, which have consisted first in a rise of two
per cent, then in a fall of the same 'extent, and
finally of a rise of two more ; so that the
parties who may have happened to be on the
wrong side throughout must have lost Six per
cent. Hence it is not astonishing that two more
defaulters were yesterday declared ; it is perhaps
rather more a matter of surprise that all the de-
ficiencies have been of so small importance. In
the meanwhile the great speculators appear to he
decidedly actuated by a
,favourable impression of
the state of Public Credit. Some large purchases
were made yesterday, and the tends at -the close
were looking very well, Consols left, off at 78k,
and for the Account.

UPROAR at the DOMINION of FANCY.

On Monday night,. b.mween ten and eleven
o'clock, the neighbourhood of the Strand was
thrown into a state of alarm and confusion, in
consequence of a crowd coming out ,of the little
Theatre, called The Dominion of Fancy, and be-
having in a riotous and disorderly manner. It ap-
peared on that night Mr. STEBBING was to have
a benefit at this house, due notice of which hail
been posted round the town by placards, and among
the novelties advertised were hydraulics, imita-
tions of several well-k nowt, pi t fot tilers, namely,
Messrs. Kemble, Young, Kean, Mathews, Faw-
celt, Mundy'', and the late Mr. Cooke, by Mr.
Stebbins, singing, recitations, &c. The 'perfor-
mances commenced with Mr. Bologna's hydraulics;
in the course of the experimeni, he proved to the
audience the combining of the two opposite ele-
ments of fire and water, in a manner highly sa-
tisfactory. The singing and imitations were
well received, and went off with eclat. Mr. James
was announced to support an anvil on his breast,
whilst tour smiths struck it with real sledge ham-
mers in full swing, and afterwards to dance on
the tight-rope without the assistance of a pole,
When the curtain rose for the rope, it was as-
certained to be a board on springs, which was
exhibited behind a hansparency, anti unfortu-
nately discovered its breadth to the audience, who
instantly called -out for the Manager. A loud
uproar immediately began, • which continued,
without intermission, during the evening. A
new pantomime was produced on this °ceasing!,
called, The Eclipse of the Moon ; or, Harlequin
ranging the Planets. It was represented on the
same scale as the exquisite dancing was, behind a
screen, which caused sin much dissatisfaction; but
the noise increasing, the curtain dropped in a few
minutes, amidst hisses and groans. A number
of persons instantly, got on the stage requesting
to have their money returned. However, they
were prevailed upon to return to the pit, and
Jr. Stebbing then came forward. On his
making his appearance, the• uproar became so
incessant, that it was impossible he could he
heard. He left the stage, and retired from
the Theatre. Several persons in tie pit then
began to testify their displeasure by acts of vio-
lence, by destroying many of the lamps. The
lights were then put out, and they were left in
total darkness, in hopes they would depart ; but
they remained fur sonic time trying to demolish
the Seats, lamps, glasses, &c. At length the
crowd left the hotly of the Theatre, and mustered
in the entrance adjoining, where they again re-
sumed their work of destruction, by breaking the
illuminated lamps in the passage, and shortly after
departed, without doing any further mischief.

Birmingham Theatre this week, at which her per-
►ormances have proved highly attractive, notwith-
standing the unfavourable state of the weather.

There is nut, however, it single embellishment of that classic

beinferred from the recapitulation in the 4th and sth stanzas
of the above. If ' ealLug names' could constitute a satirist,
Horace and Pope would be drivellers to 'l'. 13.
Whoever T. B. is, there is but little probability that such
a moralist can be sensiole to the grace of any remorse fur

liant genius—though always an opponent to him in public
life!

MR. CANNING.

The daily attacks upon this Gentleman in The
Morning Chronicle have been so vulgar, foul, and
disgusting, as well as unjust, that they deserved no
other notice than contempt. They were unjust,
as the despicable Defamer well knew, because it
is notorious that Mr. CANNING did not ► idlClde
disease, but the factious use which had been made
of it by scurrilous Scribblers. If, however, those
miserable effusions of a Billingsgate Muse deserve
any notice, it is that of ridicule, and therefore we
have extracted the following humorous lines from
The Morning Post of Monday last, and we cannot
pay a better compliment to the loyal and respect-
able Character of that Paper, than to say that it is
totally the reverse of The Morning Chronicle The
author of these lines has correctly summed up
the full amount of all The Chronicle's abusive
ribaldry :

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

cis interesting Expeiiition leas sailed, followed
by the ardent wishes of the whole Empire. There
can be no doubt that Many discoveries interesting.
to science will result from the expedition ; It
Captain Ross should be able to ascend Davie!
Straits., he will at least determine a much disputed
question in geography, as to the existence 47:
Baffin's Bay. Nor will it be an uninteresting to
en
plc of research to ascertain what may have " f
the fate of the Colony settled along the coast °
East Greenland, from which. all access has been
cut off for so many hundred years. On the other
hand, by a nesrer approximation to the Pole'
some curious phenomena may be determined
with
respect to the magnetic needle, which may even",
tually lead to important results in navigation. in
a commercial point of view, we are disposed tc
admit that the probability of any permanent ad-
vantage is very slender, as we are afraid the
difficulty and danger of navigating the Arctic Seas
will always be sufficient to deter the spirit of mer-
cantile enterprise. Yet it is impossible to say
how far the resources of human ingenuity may
overcome those impediments, if once the practi-
cability of passing through l3ehring's Straits into
the Pacific, under any circumstances, should be •
established. Admitting, however, that no decid-
ed commercial benefit should arise from exploring
the Polar regions, it surely will not be said, that
a great nation, like England, great in her marl-
time ascendancy, great in her career of know-
ledge, of philosophy, of arts, should hesitate to
employ some portion of her skill and capital, in
prosecuting discoveries which Must ra! e the pacific
history of a country as much as victories do her
warlike annals. Besides, it peculiarly belongs to
England, trom her fmsnion, to a• tempt such dis-
coveries as ate the object of the pres,ot expedi-
tion, for if any pernlaion! be,teti,s shonin ensue,

Peas that were timely drilled, or dibbled, plant

mising,. 'fine general plains of Wit( at continue
good, and begin to tiller «ell ; but some parts of
Kent have been injured by the sing and wire-
worm. The Rape-seed plants bid fair for a fair
crop. Turnip-teed is still so abundant, that in
Norfolk and Suffolk it is found difficult to bor-
row sufficient stock to feed it off in time for Bar-
ley sowing. Rye Grass atad Clovers are likely to
be abundant. Early sown Winter Tares will
afford but a slight produce. The Fen counties
are freer from water than has generally been
known at this season ; their young Wheats look
kindly, and their Oat lands are in _good order for
sowing. The Hock-masters of the Northern
countries complain of their great loss of Ewes as
well as Lambs ; and through Lincolnshire they
have lost more sheep of all sorts by ire rot than
was ever remembered. Lean Stock of all kith's has
had a further rise, particularly %Vedder Sheep and
Floggets, which were never higher. Ttte'Alent

made higher, and their, unequal wear, as co.sspar7,
ed with the binder,..considerahly obviated. In the
perch-bolt great additional security is connived,
and in the simplest and most effectual manner.
There is no division of parts acting in contrary
directions, as in the old plan, and by the opera-
tion of their contending friction accelerating that
wear and tear which Ometimes„leads to imme-
diate accidents, and always to an. increasing -pence ; bur on the contrary, the Perch-bolt in ti a
improved plan acts in the trust compact and me-
chanical manner ; 'its .stress is divided upon six
points, the main action being that of a simple
pivot, which guides the pole and wheels. In ad-
dition to this simplification,and _grei-ter. securi. y,
as compated with the old less iron and \rood

Ma. Ent-roa,—You have, in the course of the
last six months, brought before the Public several
interesting Papers on the present state of the
Practice of the Law—and several Petitions have
been presented to the Legislature to remedy the
inconveniences which the Profession have so
justly -and so generally complained of, yet no
measure has been introduced into Parliament to
remedy these evils. Great disappointment is felt

•the Slave TiAde, lately laid before the ilouSe,
ohs, rye(' that two or three slight alterations bad
;been made in it since the subject was mentioned,
-and which he deemed it his duty to specify. The
Joie tone in which the Noble Ltord spoke, and the
confusion Ilion the crowd ref urbiog to the
!try, prevented from being beard the precise na-
ture id the alterations ; they were understood,
however, to telate to a more accurate Htermina-
tion of the latitudes in which the right of search
should be made, and that the Mediterranean and
.the Channel writ to be excepted. The obj,ct of
(.;overnment in these alterations had been to meet

TO THE HUN. to YI"I.I.ETON, M. P.
FOR THF: COUNTY OF WORCESTER.

SIR,—You have availed yourself of your privi-
lege, as a Member of Parliament, to vilify a cha-
racter which, as a private iudividual, you would
not venture to assail : you have, in your heated
oppo,ition to the measures of Government, or in
the prosecution of some other motive, orniecessa-
rily calumniated the reputation of men as ho•
pourable, though not as noise, as yourself; and,
clothing yourself in the mawkish morality of the
times, have singled our THE LOTTERY as the
mounting block to reputation and popularity.
I trust, Sir, that toy name and character are
too well known to the Public to be affected by
your liitemnerance, for I ant Well assured your
power of injuring is far short of what your vanity
may suppose.
I haVe for near fifty years conducted myself in
the management of Lotteries, and on the Stock Ea-
change, in a way that has ensured me the esteem of
my numerous friends and gained teethe confidence
of the Public, and if you, or any one, are able to
produce any instance of fraud or dishonesty in
my dealings, or any anecdote disreputable to my
character (or those connected with me), I call
on you to do so, or else to offer the only satis-
faction in your power for the injury you have at-
tempted to do me (as well as others), and publicly
recant your unqualified assertions.
I purposely decline saying any thing of the na-
tore or tendency of 'SHE LoTreint itself ; the
Public are not to be blinded by the -clamours of
interested Oppositionists, nor are his Majesty's
Ministers, who are at least as respectable and vir-
tuous as yourself, to be influenced in their
arrangements of Finance by the cant of sectarian
hypocrisy, or cajoled into a reduction of the Ike-
venue by the pitiful pretences of religious and
moral quackery.
I conclude, Sir, with professing myself (being
thus cruelly forced to speak in my-own justifica-
tion) as sincere a Christian and as honest a man
as yourself, and with advising you to correct your
own impetuosity and talent for censtire before
you attack the reputations and morality of others.
I am yours, Sir, as you may notice this appeal,

The continuation of the Letter from our Cor-

highest degree interesting in every Country, we
received this day, but must poStporis it till to-

The Regency Bill was last night read a second

the in the House of Commons, and committed

for this day. Mr. TIERNEY, following the ex-
ample of Earl GREY and Lord HoLLAND, recom-
mended a reduction of the Windsor Establish-
mein. OV what materials must the hearts_ of such
met► be composed ! They behold one of the most
amiable Monarchs, perhaps the most amiable, that
ever sat upon the BRITISH THRONE, bowed down
under the infliction of Lleal,en, and so far advanc-
ed in years that, in the ordinary course of nature,
any expence attendant on his state cannot be of
long duration, yet they propose to lessen what in
general estimation contributes towards the digni-
ty of his elevated station, though the money
which it requires is circulated among ourselves ! !
The common feelings of mankind must be against

DON DIEGO CORREIA.

Loid Moepr,Tir presented a 'Petition from. a
:Spanish Gentlemin, named Correia, who was
given up by the Governor of Gibraltar to the
Spanish Governmeot, and sentenced by the latter
to 10 wears' impiisonment in Ceuta. This case,
as well as that of severed other Spaniards, deli-
♦ered up at the same time, came under discussion
in Parliament in 1815. %Ir. Correia was reclaim-
ed by the British Government, and was given op
by the Spanish. . lie came to this country, where
lie has since re§iidt!d; hnt his health being b.,d,
he bad fppliefl to the Spanish Ambassador for
„passports to return to his own country, but was
refused, on the ground that he hail been claimed
by the British Government.
Lord CASTLERPAGH did not object to the bring-
Ing up the Petition ; but it would be necessary
to make inquiry, before any steps could he taken
-on it: Mr. Correia had been informed, that if
'he cAine to this country, no provision could be
made for him here, because his political conduct
bad been advetse to what was cialfed in Spain Bri-

interes's.
T.Sir J. MActNTosti did not consider that the
previous political conduct of Mr. Correia was suf-
ficient to warrant the House in refusing the Prayer
of his Petition, Mr. C. had been deprived of his
Tinitts as a Spaniard on account of an unjust pro-
ceeding of one of our Officers, and the interfer-
ence of our Government to correct that injustice.
'What was an indit.!uity done by Spain to us, a
friendly and indemndenr state, and the House
ought to address the Regent to use his good
offices with the Spanish Government to cancel
this act of oppression of its Agent here.
• Lord CASTLEREAGH considered it as an ad in-
tage to Correia to have been brought to•this coun-
try. The refusal of a Spanish passport to him
was nut on account of his loss of light as a Spa-
s►iard.

. Mr. BROUGHAM wished to ask if the Noble
_ Lord had'used the influence he-promised two years
ago, in favour of those unhappy men, who, after
.6glrting the battles of Ferdinand, have been re-
gnited loathsome dungeons in Ceuta ?
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, he had made repre-
sentations repeatedly, but he was afraid that the
language used, respecting the Spanish Govern-
: merit, had retarded the release of these men.
The SreAKER snit,. that alt bough the. Petition
did not pray for pecuniary relief, yet iC amounted
to the same thin:;, as he prayed for assistance,
and ought, therefore, to have come first 'recom-
mended by Government.
The Petition was then brotuht up, and read.
The CHANcgr.r.oa of the EXCHEQUER could not
-give the assent 'of the Crown to the relief prayed
by the Petitioner.
Lord CoCHRANE said, the Ministers, would ne-
ver relieve any person who was favourable to li-
berty.
• The Petition was then withdrawn.

LAND TAX ASSESSMENT.

tampering with the Assessment of the Land-tax
in IVestmoreland had now been made ; and from
it, it appeared that all his statements were per-
fectly true. This paper sheaved th;tt the assess-
ment could not he made till June, and, therefore,
could not be amended in time for election, if a
dissolution should soon take place. The order
to delay the Assessment was signed by two per-
sous, one of whom was Chairman of the princi-
pal Eleetioneeritlg Committee in Westmoreland.
fie trusted tl►e proceedings would the effect

conduct. -

Lord Lovvrnett said, several persons lattly in

‘Vestmoreland came forward voluntarily, and de-
sired to be taxed for the Land-tax, certainly a
novel proceeding. Information was rcquited.by
the Tax-office in London as to it, and that caused
the delay in the assessment. Thc lion. Gentle-
man (Mr. Brougham) had, made a most unilsti-
fiable use of Lord Lonsdale's nanse, in a matter
%lilt!) which he was unconnected.
Mr. Bcouotutm said, it was an itylecent thing
to see an Election Agent corresponding as such
with the Commissioners of the Tax-office.
Mr. W WYNNE said, that if any interference
with Elections,should take place by Commission-
ers of Taxes, they would be liable to severe pu-
nishment by the House.
