thee conjectured), their sealed orders, on being opened, dirveted
Orin to proceed, for the purpose of exterminating the pirates
harbouring in the Island of Cuba. Owing tu the bad Jailing of
the GRECIAN, they did not arrive off Cape At,lnuio until the
41st of November, when they fell in with the Ile Rtoe frigate,
Captain I.n.zremar, proceeding to Jamaica with 82,000 dollars
OR board, and about thirty prisoners, who had been taken out
of a vessA suspected of acts of piracy. The ships anchored at
Ilavannah on the 24th of November, and found the Ili sorer,

via New Turk, after remaining there thro. weeks. On the 229th
the SERINO A EATA M, REDWING, and GRECIAN, sailed in company,
to carry into effect the object of their orders. Anchoring be-
tween the Mora and Idonillo Keys, on the sth of December,
they sent away their boats,which returned, unsuccessful, the I I th.

Captain WIDITON, arrived, having on board eleven EngRA and
eight Frenchmen, taken out of a pirate schooner, which she run
on shore in the bay of Honduras. On the 24th of December,
after having spent one mouth in unavailing efforts to discover
and intercept these miserable but troublesome marauders, the
antxo PATA M and liteseiso sailed fur England, and the'CILECTAN
for Port Royal, she not being •sulleiently seaworthy. to hazard
a return voyage across the Atlantic at this season of the yeat.
The Scour W 33 left to cruise outd: coast of Cuba, pieviously to

sions expended. On the 26th the ships nude Scilly, on the 27th

It appears that much more has been made of the subject of 1
r!:.icy in the West Indies than the circumstances justified;',
and that both Rear-Admiral Sc Ctiast.es Rowney, our tom-
wander-in-Chief on the station, and the Spanish Authorities
in the Island or ( hard done all that it was possible to ef-
fect to protect the trade, and also iti order to destroy the pirates.
—The Ann-rit ins have suffered more in their trade than we
have. The vessels generally, in which these daring marauders
put to-sea, and commit their depredations, are clipper-boats,
tikt•ti.hle schooners, and others not larger than fishing-vessels,.
which are not k. pt in an organized state for this mode of war-
Lire, hut are made so by these daring fellows (of mixed nations),
at the moment whenever a merchant vessel appears off their har-

make a prig. The boats of the TvBa, 2t, Captain Connery,

rived out left Plymouth on the 24th of December. The
reason tor reinfeteing our squadron in the West. Indies, is to
prevent, should it becolne necessary, the isle of Cuba' nd Porto
Rico from being token possession of by any hostile force. It
may not be waillterestiug to describe the force that is, or soon

Dining the last fortnight, it has been our painful
duty to record several additional instances of children
having been burnt to death, by reason of their clothes
catching fire. Surely, it is most unthinking and ha-
zardous in parents to leave little children by them-
selves near a fire, especially at this season, When the
cold naturally causes the poor unsuspecting innocents
to draw close to the treacherous element, clothed, as
they usually -m-e, in the most inflammable habili-
ments,• namely, cotton and muslin diesses. In ad-
dition to the various precautions we have from time,
to time suggested, we would farther recommend,
where there is a grate, that a high fireguard should
be wed, fitted upon the grate ; or, what would prove
a still greater security, the entire aperture of the fire-
place should be fitted up with a wire gauze screen,
which has been found to answer the purpose effectually.
Thursday se'nnight, a young man, about fit years
of age, only son of Mr. Cooper, of Barton, went out
for the purpose of shooting wild ducks, and not re-
turning home on that day, immediate search was
made after him, but without effect, until the follow.
ing Sunday, tvhen his body was discovered under the
ice in the River Trent.
DvaLit-r, JaN.2B.—lnformation having been re-
ceived of a duel to be fought in the Pliceniz Park,
between eight and nine o'clock this morning, peacer
oilicers Stephens, Campaigne, and flawthoine, pto-
ceeded to the Park ; when at the Ptrceniz they ob-
served a number of persons; they took into 'custody
one of the principals in this contemplated duel, Mr.
S. of James-street, and his two friends, Mr. C. and
Mr. S. The other principal, who intended to take a
leading part in this affair of honour, was on horse-
back, and on the approach of the Police galloped off.
The Gentlemen taken into custody were bound over
to keep the peace.
At the Special Sessions at Cork, on Saturday sen- ,
night, Wit. iam Fenton, and William and Thomas
117:tua, father and two sons, were tried for having
arms in their possession, when Thomas Fenton was
found Guilty, and ordered to be transported for seven
yems, and the Magistrates, though they considered
them all equally guilty, out of mercy to the old man,
acquitted him and the other son; these two prisoners'
were accordingly disc barged.
THU ROYAL LIBRARY.-it is at length .settled by
the communication from his tila:tszY to the Earl of
LIvF.RPoDL, that the Royal Library a gift to the
British Nation. It is said, that with this sift *was-'
coupled a recommendation, thatiii the long-contetn-
plated line of public buildings, in which a Palace and
all the Government Offices would be concentrated,
an additional National Library, and Muscutn should
alst.r be. included.—Liicrary (ioza4c. .

The Duke of YonK is going on well towards re-
covery from his indisposition, which has been a vio-
lent inflammation on th! chest, occasioned by con-
tinued and increased cold.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was
held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the
LARD CHANCELLOR, Earl of HARROWBY, the Earl of
LIVERPOOL, the Eail of WESTMORELAND, Mr. l'Eet.,
Mr. CANNING, Earl 13aTuuit,r, the Duke of WEL-
LpNGTON, Viscount MELVILLE, Mr. %%rims, Mr. Ho-
lIINSoV, Lord MARYDOROUGH, and Viscount Stu-
mourit, v..ho all remained in close deliberation till
about lialf.past five o'clock.

Mr. Yaws:lrant- continues confined by indisposi-
tion, which was the cause of his not being present at
the Cabinet Council yesterday.
Lord ERSKINE, in a new edition of his Letter to
Lord LIVERPOOL, speaking of the threats of the
despots of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, thiis ex-
presses himself—" With all theforce they can collect,
there is one empire which they can never hope to
subdue—the empire of opinion, whose throne is the
liberty of Me press!
Notwithstanding all that has been said to the con-
trary, we have strong reason to believe that Minis-
ters have in contemplation to repeal part of the Duty
on Windows, and take off all-the restrictions now in-
force .as to their size, &c. An equalization of the
House Tax is also meditated, and with this •iew,
Cicculars have been sent to all the District SurveyOti;
to make such returns as may enable Ministers- tsi-
• know the effect of these Taxes, on a comparisos at
the years 1818 and 1822. • •

Fine AaTs.—The Picture of the CoS•onation tit
NA ptii Ram, painted by -DAVI% if -DOW one; of the,
objects which excites the public curiosity; eveiy one
is ginger to judge the talent of this)celebiatitd
aed to 'see the record of a veryfttraordioary histbrieet
event, and the Portraits otititany remarkable- men
who have acted a part on the stageof life-in these last
twenty years. Though the Fainter has been bound by
the Emperor NaPor.coN's orders, and the pretensions
of those who were ambitious of the most conspicuous
places, and consequently he has been unable to treat,
after the inspiration of his own genius, a subject
which, by its nature, precludes the beau ideal that is
so justly admired in his other productions, we may
be allowed to say thktt it is a master-piece in its kind.
The boldness of the enterprise, the conception of this
great Flctbie.. 'the distribution of the groups, the
striking likeness of the portraits, the exact expression
of each, 'accqrding to the known character of each
actor, detect a great master in his art. We think this
production, though not destitute of minor blemishes,
worthy of the classical pencil of DAVID, and that
alone it would stamp its author in the first rank of
the French painters. -
We ate now
glad
to notice, that Mr. CaasTarns's
New Systems of Writing are becoming much in vogue.
Several respectable Schools have adopted them, as
well as many private families. A number of Clergy-
men, and Gentlemen of rank and fortune, have began
to instruct their own children in this useful Art, as
recommended by Mr. CARSTAIRS in his valuable
Book of Lectures (the Fifth Edition of which is just
pnblished). By thus employing their vacant hours
satisfactorily and usefully, is highly commendable,
and considered a. plerPing recreation ; while their'
young pupils are obtaining a beautiful, easy, and fa-
shionable style of Writing, in
,the short space of a
few Weeks.

Various contrivances have been proposed for ton-.
eeyir.g the mail-hags with swiftness and safety to their several
destinations, none, however, seem to come so near the purpo,e'
as that of employing t4e newly imported animals, the Wapeti,
.whose elegance, agility, fleetness, and strength, surpasses all
known animals of its size. Bounding over hill and daly at the
surprising rate of twenty miles *hill!' the hour, his docility and.
sagacity exceeds that of the horse, and is so gentle that a child
may guide him. There is something extremely interesting. in,
these animals; -they entertain groat affection for one another,
and, when taen front their companions, pine and mourn most
sadly. In the gloomy and towering woods of North West Ame.
rics, they rove in family groups, rigidly, as it were, keeping
within their respective precincts, never trespassing upon their
neighb4ours. These animals are great ornaments so the sylvan
and romantic steals of their. resorf, passing-like an arrow from"
out of the umbrageous .foliage; then sporting'in fanciful cir-
cumvolutions .over the green and floteety et vantiees'in all"the
buoyancy of hilarity and: uncesquerabk strength; then again
seeking, from a summer's-sun, the jetreshing coolness and quies-
cent shade of the majestic forest, which- has not, as. yet, otl
eeheed with the woodman's mercilesease. The swiftness. isd
strength of these animals have hitherto baffled iffealls bt man
to enslave them ; the Indians-hive of law years, hreenae tuns;
dere, obtained. this end; by,catelaiet some, when moil: sucklislis
and training them to carry burtheni, &c. Ills ascertained that
~they are applicable to all the purposes of a horse, except rbit:sif
iratrtigia rider, and can, by kindness, bejuide as domestic as
the canine species. Those who have been the means of intro-
ducing these beautiful and interesting ereatuires into Europe will
add much to the *usury end convenience of man, and an impor- .
taut page to natural hislory. Indeed, we miy conclude-that ,

LAW INTELLM.ENCE.

. COURT OF KING'S DENCH, FEBRUAILI 1;
TII9MTSON V. AUSTEN.

This. was an action for goods sold ,and delivered,
tried .before Mr. Justice 13arrbugli, at the Spring As-
sizes. for Cornwall, when the plaintiff recovered a
verdict for 630/.
slirrast Laster Term a Rule was obtained to shew
cause why a new rand should not he had, on the
ground that evidence was received of part of a con-
veritiois; held between a witness named Mahony
and the defendant, to fix the latter with the debt,
but that the Learned Jude refused to hear the re-
maiitiler'qf the Conversation, which might have ex-.
plaided Ate meaning of the beginning. The debt was
alleged to arisefiotn expenses incurred in reference
td the ekctiotnof Mr..Attsten for a Cornish Borough.
TheUtliti OttiseJvsnet threw 'out a strong re-
' commendatiohto the parties to refer the whole mat-
ter; setae it amicahly out of Court. .
The iatittigion, however, was not acted on, and
The Cotiat, after hearing Mr. Wimit against the
Rule; trtaJelf abiolUte, finless in ten Jays the parties
should- settle .the difference, which was by far their
ssisesiLcoterse. •
rioittrx-iiii DENISE OF WILKINSON AND ANOTHER,
O. IRO E.

This was an action of ejectment, tried at the last
Spring Assizes for the county of 13er ks, before Mr.
Battii tarr6W.
an the trial three questions were left to the Jury;
two Of fact, and•the thii-d on the construction of the

Annuitt'Act., The Jury found a general verdict for
the defendant. The Learned Judge reported, that
he requested the Jury, -in his charge, in case they
should find for the defendant, to inform him on
whieh• 'groikrid their verdict proceeded and that,
when theydelivered their verdict, he asked the goes-
tiolt,:ltit- that they refused to give any answer. Upon
this. Rule was obtained by Mr. Jervis, in last Easter
Term, tritit new trial. The report having been read,
414 TAutivon assured the Court that his recollec-
tion of the circumstances differed essentially from the
statement of the Learned Judge, and that the Jury
fouild•tin all points' for the defendant.
Mr. It. k. COistiN, on the same side, stated that he
conceived the mistake to save arisen thus: that the
Learned Judge, in his charge, requested the Jury to
infoterohim. if their verdict proceeded on the third
and• *that their giving a general verdict
after this, proved that on the evidence they thought
the ilerelice-satitfactory and 'complete.
.Tllo•Leati °nee Josrice said that the greatest
inceiVzetiiietlee'wovild arise from receiving any other
account of the proceedings at a trial to contravene
theittpert-of-thealtidger and therefore they must take
the easennhie impreajort-ofitv bearings.
