SIII-14 am commanded by the Lords Com-
missioners of his Majesty's Treasury to inform
you, that from the inquiries.their Lordships -have
made in consequence of your representation, it
appears that the Officertrof the Custom has, in no
idsrance, made any allowance iii Foreign Hops,
other than what is directed by the orders of this
Board of the Ilth of December, 1817, and 28th
of January, 1818, viz. 121bs. per hundred weight
on such hops as had not been kiln-dried previous
to importation, apt, that the allowance has in all
cases Wien made, in conjunction with the Officers
of Excise, agreeable to their Lordships' direction;
that the only further allowance that has been
madeby. the Qfficers of the Revenue, in favour Of
the goods in qo,Stion, has been on account'of
dpimage stistained -by then' during their voyage,
and which has in no instance been granted with-
out the oath of-the importer, as a proof of its
having been shipped on board in a sonnd condi,

don, and this allowance it appears to them the bops
are entitled to tinder the proof required 4 law,
conceiving that the same is not superseded by their
Lordships' order, which relates to the allowance

of 12Ibs. per hundred weight for wastage in re-dry.

The visitors at Claremont will have the melan-
choly gratifi'catiou of beholding all thoselittle
domesti: remembrances of our lamented Princess,'
in the contemplation of which her afflicted Con-
sort has hitherto indulged, " with all the luxury
of woe." The hat and shawl which her Royal
Highness took off, on returning from her last
walk, are still hanging on the
,sereen in the Li-
brary untouched, since she herself placed them
there. Her watch laid on the mantle-piece, and
even her walking shoes, left by.her, near the fire-
glace, still remain exactly as she left them ; and
his Royal Ilighoess has desired, that the most
scrupulous attention may
.he paid to preserve
them from any other touch. Doubtless such a
wish will he strictly complied with.
The Princess ELIZABETH, on the day of
.her
marriage, presented the PRINCit REGENT with a
piece of plate forhis private table, such as is not
in common use. It Ikabout the height of a•tea-
caddy, anti nearer to one in shape than to any
othei table utensil. One of its 'compartments is
for mustard ; two others foi' pepper and salt. lo
the inside of the lid is ad inscription, with the
name of the giver and the occasion of the-,gift. -
There are letters in town from Boordeaux,
Which mention the failure of several house's there ;
some of them for so large an amount as 60,0001.
sterling. .This misfortune -is owing to the firms
in question having speculated' largely in brandies.
The wines, it appears, will not turn out newly so
plentiful as was expected, the great drought
having very materially injured the oape. Some
little rain had lately fallen, which might. do partial
good; but the greatest p irt of the evil was past
,remerly. The letters from other parts of the
South of France also complain of the great dryness
of the season.—(iforning Chronicle)
At the commencement of the herring fishing,
in Caithness, this season, twelve barrels were
sent from Thurso to Leith, from whence -they
were exported to Hamhorgh, where they were sold
for Otte Hundred and Forty-fonr Guineas: A single
he'rting sold at the extraordinary price of 2s, Bd.
The herring fishing at Wick, which, in its early
stage promised sod) unfavourable results, assumed
a favourable turn on Tuesday sennight, when the
boats brought in eight trans on an average. On
the Wednesday they averaged fourteen trans; and
on the Thursday about twenty crams per boat, be-
ing one of the largest fishiags that bas been-made
for these several years.
It appears front the Dublin Papers, that the ma-
nufacture of poisonous' tea has been for some
time Common in Ireland. Tb e Board of Excise
has very properly sent officers- throughout the
country, for the purpose of hunting out the
dealers in this nefarious trade. ' •

The Sligo Jouinul asserts that a man, of the name
of Sheridan, had his skull beaten almost to pieces
by some villains, who afterwards flung him into a
bog-hole, from whiph he was' taken out lifeless,

tell by whom he was, murdered.
Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, a child,

little hopes of its recovery.

morning, on his way to Dublin, wyls.surpriscd- to
see a number of men on the roadormed with sticks

him to inquire the cause of their meeting at-such
an extraordinary hour, when he was told they
were assembled for the purpose of intercepting
number of hands com►ng from the North to
Dublin, designing to work as task-men. This
information was gi►en to the Magistrates of the

FRANCE:

LETTER FROM PARIS, AUG. 17.

-•-
• " The ensuing elections for Paris offer the most
interesting snhject at present. The popular party
divided- its suffrages between MM. Manuel, Ben-
jamin de Constant, anii Gilbert des Voisins. The
chiefs of this party, in order to concentrate the
votes, agreed that each of the three Candidates
should name five individuals, who, united,
should. be ' charged to choose the Candidate
whom the Independents were to support. ' The
fifteen individuals in question met on Friday last,
when M. de Jolty., one of the persons named by
M. de Consiant, proposed to begin their operations
by excluding one, of the three Candidates,without
hich nothing could be tetmillated, as it was -
evident that each Candidate would have an equal°
noniber in his favor. The exclusion Jell on M.
Manuel, certainly to the great ditsatisfaction of •
the Independents. C;reet misundetstandings have
arisen in consequence„ and notwithstanding -the
written engagement to submit to the majority, the
friends of M. Mamie] on Friday next purpose en-
deavonritg to revise and annul the proceedings
which have already taken place. -Mr."Gilhert des
Voisins is certain of being elected, being the least
obnoxious to the Ministry.
" Letters received this morning-announce that
the opening of the Congress will be retarded fif-
teen days, on account of the indisposition of one
of the Grandes Duchesses, sister to his Majesty the
Emperor of Russia."—(Morning Post.)
