JOHN GUNNING, Esq., one of the Surgeons of

Extraordinary to his Majesty.
Rear-Admiral HARvEv's period of service as
Commander-in• Chief on the Leeward Island
Station being expired, it is said he may be shortly
expected home, although we have aloi beard of
any other gallant Officer being yet appointed to
succeed hint.

It is expected, that early in the next Sessions
of Parliament a Bill will be brought in, to giv•
the Justices of the County of Kent jurisdiction,
in certain cases, within tie Cinyie Ports, in ordec
that the Laws of the Country may be promptly
and impartially administered and executed. The
outt ages whicti• have so long disgraced the Town
of Deal and its vicinity, require the immediate
attention of the Executive Government.

The attempts now making by the inferior Master
House Builders, who are so intimately connected
with, and in a great measure dependent on, the
Norway and Prussian Importers of Wood, to
prejudice the Public against the use of Timber
froth the King's Colonies, deserve the severest re-
probation. The story of the decay of a house in
Connaught-place is one of the miserable attempts
alluded to. It might as well be represented that
the deeay which has taken place in several of the
Public Edifices, Theatres, &c. were wholly attri-
butable to the same cause. It is, however, well
known, that these erections were built with Memel
and other Baltic Timber; yet in a few yews they
chewed symptoms of dry-rot, and were obliged,
at a great expellee, to be repaired.
Great uneasiness prevails at Dartmouth, Poole,
and other places, interested in the Fisheries ea
the coasts of British North America, from the
uncertainty which prevails as to the nature of the
negociation now carrying on between Lord CAS-.
TLEREAGH and the American Government. The
assurance given by his Lordship, in the House of
Commons, to Sir J. NEWPORT, was that the Ame-
ricans would be considered 1, ith reference to these
Fisheries as all other foreigners, and under that
impression large Establishments have been formed
by British Subjects, who must he totally ruined
by British Subjects, who must be totally ruined
if the Americans are allowed to fish as formerly, ---
within the Bays, Creeks, and on the coasts of
British North America. It is pre,umed that his
Lordship is not prepared to let in Yffeigners of all
descriptions. If not, why are americans to be
so highly favoured ?
