',kb Alain. Ile was a man of great eminence
among the Patriots.

(From the Calcutta Gazette of Aug. 28.)

The Pindaries are still ranging the• country,
and committing the most horrid excesses among
the peasants, by the indiscriminate butchery of
men, women, _and children, and bearing the lat-
ter in triumph on their spikes.

There has been an Hindoo College opened at
Calcutta, which promises -immense advantages to
science and humanity : it has English, Native,
and Persian teachers.

Advices of a very late date have been received
at this Office, which states, that the Patriots were
i❑ possession of the whole of Chili.
An Officer of Buenos Ayres has contradicted
the Report, that his Government had solicited a
Foreign prince to reign over them, and .that the
Republic of Silver River is sufficiently competent
to protect its independence, without assistance
from any quarter.

Letters 'received from. New Orleans of the
26th of November, at Boston, state, that the
fever had considerably abated ; but at Natchez it
still continued, and from 20 to 25 persons were
dying daily.
The crops of Cotton at New Orleans are much
as they were last year, probably 10,000 bales
more than last crop ; Sugar crops look extremely
well, but the season has, been so wet, that pro-
bably not so much sugar will be made as last year.
A letter from Bermuda, Nov. 26, in The Na-
tional Advocate of Dec. 2., gives the following
prices of the Markets at St. George's :--Flonr,
15 to 14 dollars ; Tobacco, 10 ; Rum,. 65 to 70
cents per gallon ; Molasses, 48 to 50 ; Sugar, 9
to 10 dollars per cwt. ;
.Coffee, 18 dollari, and
very scarce.

The Charge upon the Consolidated Fund for the
Quarter ending the sth instant, is 13,200,000/.

There is a peculiar and a melancholy interest in
the present day. It is the Anniversary of the
Birth of our late departed .Princess-CHARLOTTE.
Twenty-two years ago, the commencement of her
existence diffused joy all over the Empire, as it
gave StippOrr to that August_Roule rto.whom we
are in a great degree indebted for the preservation.
of our happy Establishment in Church and State.
The progress of her life, and.the gradual expan-
sion of her virtues and her talents, increased
the hopes of the People, and, proMised'a future
Sovereign, who was likely to confirm their
rights, improve their happiness, and aug-
ment the lustre of the. British Crown. Alas
these hopes are at an end, and the only consola-
tion arising from the melancholy loss, is the con-
sideration, that her, virtues are gone to receive
their reward in a better world, and. that they will
for ever be recorded in the annals of our country.

We perceive
.that the Admirers of BLASPIIENIN,
and the Promoters Of SEDITION, are actively em-
ployed in, circulating the Subscription for Mr.
HONE over the country. We are glad that they
have adopted this course, as it will develope their
characters to the people at large. Hence, such
of Mr. HoNE's suppOrters as may be of rank suf-
ficient to be candidates for Parliamentary dis-
tinction will afford a good teat of their principles,
and enable the Constituent Body to judge whe-
ther it will be proper to commit the interests of
THE CHURCH and STARE to those who patronize
PROFANENESS and abet the views of FACTION.

The dreadful Iprioi of the Act for SUSPENDING
. ,
THE tIABE4SC6EPUE, about which there has been
so much declamation, are now confined to three
'individuals ;.-inif these three are, yaw/tory Pri-
soners, so great are the' terrors of imprison-
ment !—Yes, voluntary Prisoners, merely because
they refuse to enter into their own undertaking,
no sureties being required for their future appear-
ance. These three Patriots are the two men who
made such a elarriour towards the end of the last
Session about their not being allowed .to disturb
the Surrey Prison with their flutes, and a fellow
of the name of Benbow from Lancashire.

THE PITT CLos.—A General Meeting of The
Committee of This Club was held on Monday
last, when the Monthly Dinners for this Spring
were fixed for thelast Thursday in February, and
the last Thursday in April, at the Albion Tavern.

The friends of Mr. (;RACKENTHORPS, the New
Candidate for Westmoreland, have not been so
successful in their canvass as they expected, from
the doubts which are entertained-of that Gentle-
man's sentiments on The Popery Question ; the
great body of the Freeholders in that County be-
ing steady and warm Supporters of " The Pro-
testant Ascendancy."

Great perplexity prevails at Rochester as to the
future Representation of that City. It has been
said that the present Members will not be re-
turned again—we, however, think that one of
them is certain of it.

Mr. WETHERELL, the King's Counsel, is the
new Candidate for the City of Hereford.
The present canvass for Hythe is the keenest
the Electors have known for many years. The
four Candidates have at different intervals beat
the ground—and they all seem confident of suc-
cess.
