- MR. Entl-nit-4 shall leave it to some riblr
per) to give doe praiie to H. R. the PRINCR RE•
G NT, for his patriotic benevolence, in his appio•
piloting Dartmoor to the reii. t of existing Pan-
peri‘m. I not, par icularly at this moment,

to appear as A fia!terer.
, I may he allowed, however, to offrr a hint for
the !note beneficial adoration of !loyal generosity
to its int ell Get purpose, !►y reminding probable
ipeculators, that however apparently ungettial
that Moor may be, in regard to tie usual modes
of cultivation, there are other modes that may
be adopted in the first instance, with f,ir hopes
cot success.

Though, in its present state, the Moor ?Illy be
unfavourable for the cultivation of Wheat, Bar.
ley, Rye, or Oa. s, still, it is not so for Duck liqzeat,
whether it is merely sown to be eatefl as preen
food, and ploughed in as 11),Mtlt e, or allowed to
ripen and harvested like any other grain for the
feeding of oxen, swine, and poultry.
Whoever ►akes a ride towards Uxbridge in the
summer may see large fivlds of it cultivated for
various purposes ; indeed, I undtrstand that it
is pound and used in the Metropolis fur several
species of bread, especially crumpets. Beer has
been brewed from it ; and on some parts of the
Ostutineut, its seeds are dressed in various ways
for human food.

1 fiml too, from botanical writers, which is, in-

fir e(i my reason for now recommending ir, that
land, which is scarcely fit for any other species of
cultivation, will produce absindant harvests of ir,

and at au expellee much kos than the cultivation
of any other species of grain ; and it is evremely
probable that a crop of Buck Wheat may be found
a good preparati►•e for the cultivation of Hemp
and Flax, so judiciously begun there by Sir T.
TY W YTT.

One hint, I shall offer, Mr. Editor, on the
subject of Emigration. The overflow of Adven-
turers to take advantage of the Government offers
of Colonization in Africi, spews clearly that a
spirit of enterpri2e, as well as of necessity would
yet operate powerfully, if any other feasible
scheme of Emigration were to be presented to
public noti( e. In this view of the subject then,
I venture to propose an immediate Colonization
of New ZEALAND; by free settlers, on it. North
Eistern Coast, either on the banks of the river
Thames, or at Mercury 13 iy; between 36. and
37. South Latitude.

The description given by COOK, in HAWKS•
WORTII'S Collection, of this district, presents
greater facilities to the Settler, and also greater
security front the Natives, than the Cape at pre-
sent affords is in its Eastern farms. 1 shall not
occupy your columns with extracts, however, for
reference is eAsy. The present venerable Presi-
dent of the Royal Soeiety, has himself visited the
spot ; and could, no doubt, afford considerable
information to Government on the subject.
Should our manufactures improve, the same op-
port•rnity of obtaining Free Settlers may not again
n tie r.

PenesTaraNtsm.—Yesterday morning Richard
Stanton, a young man, %elm, it may he remem-
bered, a short time ago, attempted to run 21
miles in three hours, in which he /Ailed by five
I inutes of the given time, again attempted a si-
milar task, according to agreement, on the same
spot of ground in the Regent'4 Park, having re-
covered front a slight strain which he received in
the prior attempt ; 50 guineas was the stake.—
On starting, he went with great speed, and con-
'tinned so to do for the first seven miles (occa-
sionally lessening his pace), which he performed
in one hour and 50 seconds; the second he per-
fumed in one hour and two minutes ; and ;he
11st seven miles in one CHI r j and lost by tsvo
miontes and 50 seconds : his failure was attri-
buted to a heavy fall, in consequence of slipping
in the last hour.

GENERAL D'EVEREUX:S EXPEDITION,

Mr. ROBERT MACNALLiv -soli of Counsellor
MAcNaLLY, a cornet CO Gen D'Evr,ttEo%'s regi-
ment of Lancers, commanded by Colonel AYL-
MER, and kvieo sailed from Liverpool in July lasi,
on hoard the William, Capt. Peaasos, returned to
. his family on Tuesday last, . from Liverpool.
This young gentleman, with several other offi-
cers of the same regiment, arrived at the island
tit Margaritta (on the South American coast)
in August last, under the command of a Major
L'Estrange. They found some armed skips under
the command of Admiral ion tiding in the har-
bour, and three or four privateers. General Eng-
lish, with a few troops, the fragments of his
force, which were defeated at Cumana, was on
the kland ; and a number of %voun:led officers
were periiti,ng 0t severe wounds, lying on the
gr,und. Theft. %s ere 2 teti.s awf2 torts. L'Esirange
entered into a conspiracy with Brno) and Eng.
lid', and was cleared a Colonel. The officers
Of the Lancers were called upon to English.
They refused w ith proper spit it. Thes presented
► Memorial to Brion to have libeity to tit part,
in miler to proceed op the Oionoko, alit! it pos-
sible, to
.brio Bolivar. They w ere refuted, and
asked what brought them to Margainta—they
were infotmed, that their commissions. %vele nut
rived from Bolivar, and iii it they must give
up their arms and all military equipments:—
Au armed schooner cam, alongsnte the %Vit.
Ilan), military fotce hoarded the vessel, and the
office's were stripped of t heir property ot every
kind. L'Estranee sold to a pit aiical vessel in
the harbour, two months provisions from on board
the Capt. Pierson kupi-on boat(' as
neatly of the young Gentlemen as he could possibly
provide for ; amongst those was Cornet MacNaily,
who sailed with Pierson for St. Andrews, stripped
to a shirt and pair of trowsers, but the benevolent
Captain procured him a jacket, and he and the other
Gentlemen walked their passage to St. Andrews,
in Nottli America. Several of t'iose unfor-
tunate youths have returned to Ireland in
different ships—NacNally lemainerd with Cap-
tgin Pierson at St. Andrews till fie took in a cargo
of pine, and then worked his way with a gentle-
man named Delany, to Liverpool ; Gen-. D'Eve-
reux. being there he went on hoard the vessel,
brought MacNally to his hotel, cloathed
and paid his passage from America to Liver-
pool, and from thence to and sheaved
him every at I cot ion. This young gem kincin is
in good health aud high spit its, now enjoying
the comforts of a domestic life with his lather,
mother, brothers, sisters, and friends, and we
understand has kept an accurate Journal of all in-
cidents that occurred on his voyages, in which it
appears, that the conduct of Brion, English, and
L'Estrange deserves the severest reprobation for
their deception, cruelty, and treachery to the great
cause of the oppressed people of South America.
Mr. Gibbon's, of Great George's street, another
jimeuile and unfortunate adventurer in the cause
of liberty, has also arrived from Halifax, Nova
Scotia. He went out to Margaritta with Colonel
Aylmer ; was at the funeral of English, who
died of a two days' fever. His accounts coincide
with those given by Messrs. M‘Nally sod Delany.
Ile says, that Col. Aylmer was preparing to have
L'Estrange tried by Court Martial on a capital
charge ; of course, it this mat) be. convicted, two
of tt.e triumvirate will be disposed of according
to their merits.

Messrs. Jones, brothers, who went out to Mar-
14,irirta, are stunned, alter experiencing the must
severe sufferings.
Col. ll..rtey has returned to London, and Co-
lonels Aylmer and Mead are hourly expected home.

THE NEW SETTLEM ENT OE SINCAPORE.

MADRAS, Auo. 24.—A letter from an Officer on
board one of the Hon. Company's et uizers in the
Eastern Seas, says
—n onr way op we called
at the new Settlement of Sincapore ; we found
them doing %yell, and have no doubt of its being
a flourishing place before long. The harbour or
road is sate, easy of access at all times, and cow-
!wands the passage through the Straits close to St.
John's Island. Tt.e landing is good, plenty of fresh
water, and a fine plain to build on. When I first
visited it with Sir S. Ravrt.cs, there were not above
30 Malay houses; others are rising in all parts
just now ; and the Malays from various States
came to express their satisfaction at again seeing
the English amongst them. Batteries were built,
and the best arrangements made to give our Java
friend; a warm re( option, should they feel inclined
to visit them, which the Malaya confidently ex-
pected, but without doubt of the issue, having
the greatest reliance on Major PARQVDAR, whom
they know by no other name than the Rajah of
Malacca, to this day. IVe were falling much in
'he opinion of the Malays, until the new Settle-
ment was made ; whereas, now there is nothing
like the English iu their estimation.
The natives of Sincapoora say, that the
mate is very salubrious ; that there is no sickness
peculiar to the island ; and that they do not know
what sickness is ; but they say, indeed, that even
in this healthy and beautiful spot, people do
sometimes die when they-got olel

PENANG, Jusie 18.—The Indiana, Cornwallis,
Mary Anne, and Alarchioneas of Wellesley, are
now at Sincapore, where every person was en-
gaged in landing and mounting the heavy oi:d.
nance, sent from Penang, for its garrison, consist-
ing of three 24-pounders and twelve 18.ponnders,
Kith abundance of ammunition and warlike stores.
After this duty had been performed, the ships
named were expected to return to Penang with the
remlinder of the Ist Battalion at the 20th, Chet
had been at Bencoolen.

SOL K QUI3 DICER& FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, LIAUARY G, 1820.

We received yestertlay afternoon and thi•
morning three days Paris Papers, to Monday last
inclusive ; they are rernaikildy barren of inteili-
-gence. There bad been no meeting of either of
the Chambers,. nor is there any notice or their
intended Course" of proceediug. Friday anti
outlay were chiefly occupied at Palk congra-
(tit:l6ollS OW the new year. Deputations from the
IWO Chambers, and from different public bodies,
as well as the Corps Diplomatique, paid their
respects to the KING and the Royal. Family.
The only circumstance amidst this detail of
compliments worthy of particular notice, is the
short anti pithy answer given by the KING to the
congratulation of the Chamber of Deputies. His
MAJusTv said—" We are at peace with. all 'Eu-
rope, but we ,leave an enemy to combat, namely,
'Anarchy; our situation, however, is unaccom-
panied by danger whilst I can rely upon you as yol
may rely upon me." The Deputation of the Cham-
ber of Peers,and more peculiarly Marshal DavousT,
the Prince D'EcKmuut,, met with a distinguished
reception from MoNstEun, in consevence of
tech manner of disposing of a Petition (as we have
already stated), complaining of the unronstitn.
tionality of banishing regicides. The Marshal,
who pointed out the mode of extiognishing such
Petitions in future, received the must flattering.
compliments from MoNstsort.
Ihe Duchess of OaLwaNa was on Saturday
night delivered of a Prince, who takes the title
of Duke of PENTEIIEVRE.'

The Conslitutionnel s aces` every day the signa-
ture or transmission to the Chamber of Deputies
of new Petitions, ft Um different quartets, against
any alteration in the Election Law.
The Journal de Gand is quoted in The illoniteur,
for the purpose of announcing that Gen. VAN-
DAMME, one of the exiles allowed to return, left
Ghent on the 29th nit. to proretil to Paris.
An article. from Berlin intimates an intended
marriage between the hereditary Grand Doke of
MECKLENBURG SCHWERIN and the Plineess
ALEXANDRINE Of PIOSSitI.

The fortifications of Cbarlerol have been much

A Munich article states, that the Report of the
Committee of Congress at Vienna on the 131 ar-
ticle of the Federal Act respecting Representative
Governments, had been made, and it was he-
lived that it recognized Constitutions already ex-
isting, the new interpretations given to the ar-
ticle being only applicable to States not vet pro-
vided with Constitutions. The natnre of these
new interpretations is not explained, and opinions
are said to be much divided upon the question,
whether the Feudal Constitutions Still existing
are to be considered as Representative Constitu-
tions ? Several Bankers from the principal Cries
of Germany
were assembled at Vienna, anti'there
was a report of a loan.
The following are Extracts from the Journals
of Monday :
