, Tile intelligence which we before our Reader!
y.:sterday, and which we sh.til repeat, resFcting the
True-blooded Yankee ilmeric.44 Rivateer, requires
the most severe and pr,:mpt investigation, and wst
look to Ministers for a,vindic-ttion.of the national ho-
nour. They may co;,fidently rely upon the ze.tl and
co-operatiJn, even to the moat of what is most volu-
able, of try man in the country, in reselavig this
flagrant' outrage, if the fallat satisfaction le not granted.
The equipment of privateers. at Brest, a RityJ
yard, aggravates the offence :
" Path, Septeraba 25.

has been completely refitted for sea, manned with a
crew of 200 men, and sailed from Brest the 21st

British Channel : his orders are to sink, burn, and
destroy,. and not to capture with the intention of car-
rying into port."

Tuesday afternoon, one of the passage vessels from
Dover to France. having sailed from Calais early
in the morning with six passengers on board, when,
on account of there not • being sufficient water
to admit of the vessel entering Dover Harbour,
the master was obliged to come to anchor in the
bay ; during which a hovelling boat's crew from the
shore went along side, and on being asked by the
passengers their demand for landing them at Dover ?
they replied ss. each ; —this being refused, and the
hovellers perceiving another boat making towards
them, declared. that if they took them far less, they
would immediately sink her ; the crew of the other
boat shortly went aloug-side, and agreed to take
the passengers for 3s. each ; the passengers bad no
sooner got into the boat, than the hovellers struck
the boat with the boathook with such violence, as
to cause her to fill very rapidly with water. Happily
the boat had not quitted tlittrolool. wimp ropes were
thrown out, and the passengets °were lately rescued
•
from the deep.

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL R_POIIT FOIL Omega.
—Harvest is generally finished, with little exception,
but in the Northern extremities of, the country. .and
no man has witnessed a finer season. Both the Wheat
and Barley are an irregular crop ; there will be par.
tially good quantities, and fine samPles, but the blight
has been universal. Of Beans a similar report is made.
Oats, Peas, and Rye, arc the most successful crop.
The perfeet gOodness of the weather ..ibrouglout lb,
harvest, has added immensely to Ate value. of Lilo
wheat crop;and a consid:rahle portionof the.croP4
the previous years rt mains still in the country. Frcine
the want 6f ritin, grass has been so short that many
have.fouottit necessary to reeiuce their stocks of cattle.
The Turnip crop is greatly injured alitieeacefuing
upon some-lavoured
considerably below an- average crop. Clover atbi
other seeds not productive. Hops lull as good s.s
could be expected.
The Cattle markets, for both -fat and lean stock,
lower. much cows excepted, which command high
prices. Considerable importations from France of
cattle and provisions, upon the Souther n and Western
coasts, had greatly reduced prices there, but the
newal of the duties on prowler rte, under an Order of
Council, will impede-or prevent the concha:mace of
this provision trade. ,
