Colonel Latta:wrote'. father was the fon of the
brother of the great Law, of Laurifton, the Fi•
nancier, of whom all the world has heard. The
l'family is originally from Scotland. The father
lof Colonel LAVIUSTON married a native of the.
Ilk of France, by whom he had fix font and four
daughters, one of them the prefent Officer. Moil
of them were born at Pondicherry, of which the
father was, Governor. He realized great riches
there, but was very unfortunate in afterwards
lofing them. By the robbery of one caravan he
loft the bulk of his fortuae. He was, however, C 111•
bled to fettle in France withsa fmall, but comforta-
ble indepenciance;. and his family were provid-
ed for by,the Court in the manner of the fons of the
Nobleffe Two of the fix Cons were educated for
the army; of thefe Colonel Lauatsrow was one k
and two for the Royal Navy ; a fifth was educat,
ed to the Church. The eldeft, of the Navy, died'
in the Expedition of .D'Em re Beasts A x round'
the world in fearch of LA Psaouss.—.The
fecond, the prefent Colonel, emigrated with his
four younger brothers in 1792. The Colonel
was a twin brother to the third, who was an Offi..
cer in the Navy, entered the regiment of Het:tor
in the pay of England, went or. the Qlriberon Ex-
pedition, was taken and (hot by order of
or one of his deputies. The fourth, educated for
i
the army, went n the Englilh fervice to St. Do.
mingo, and is now fettled at Jamaica. The fifth
lives at Liverpool; and the firth, who was a Cler.,
gymau, is now a partner in the boat of JOHNSTON
Law (he takes this name) and Co. in the City of
London.

The fbrtune of Colonel LAURI mom' has been re-11
markable ; he owes it to the circumftance of his
having been educated in the Military School at
Paris with BowAPAars. There they were both
boys, ftudents together, and they are now nearly
of an age. LAUILISTON had obtained the rank of
Lieutenant of Artillery in the French fervice, when
he emigrated, and entered the Auftrian fervice. In
1796 he was taken prifoner in Italy by Bowa-
►Aara's army, at the commencement of that great,
General's glorious career. Lava's-row, afraid of
being put to death as a traitor, obtained an intery iew
with Bow/aura, who in a moment recolleded
him with emotions of affedion and alarm. He
advifed him to enter as a private in the French
fervice, faying, there was no other way of Paving
his life. LAURISTOII did fo, and Bowirmurs of
courfe did not forget bim. He took the earlieft-1
opportunities of promoting him, and made him a
bofom friend. La v a isrow was with him in Egypt,l
and has been his conflant companion in all his
perils; he was even with him when he was over
Pet in his carriage
.laft returning from Italy ; and
be was alto with him in his carnage going to. the
Opera in December laft, when the Infernal Ma-
chine was blown up with the deign of murdering
the Cum/. ComsuL.

Mr. Kvoz is the firft Gentleman who has obtained
that permifilon fince the Peace: as his return to
this country is expeeted in a few days, it is imagined
he is charged with bulinefs of importance from
the Government.

There are a confiderable number. of merchants
from Amllerdam and Rotterdam now in town,
hot their orders are given but fparingly, compared
with thofe of former times. They complain, in
hitter terms, of the hardthips they base ruffered
from the Revolution.- Twenty-live per cent. on
the capital property, and five per cent on the in-
come of every individual, above a certain clafs, in
the States, was aetually levied in the courfe of
one year! They rejoice very greatly on the ap-
proach of a General Peace, but they apprehend,
at the fame time, that the wounds which have
been inflieted are fo deep, that the Republic will
Icarcely ever recover from the deprellion which
it has fultained under its compulfory change of
Government.

Wool of all qualities has rifen rapidly in conic.
quence of the peace, but particularly the long forts,
which, within thofe ten days, have encreafed nearly
one-fourth in value.

up at the moment and put a flop to the bulinefs.
The panics were immediately taken into cullody,
and carried before B. %OUTMAN, Efq. Sitting Ma-
giftrate, who gave them a proper adanonition for
t it mikondua. The parties were all boned
over with proper funnies to keep the public peace,
