tetriforiat, or the Wire* taxes. WO do not attach'
much intereß to there reprefentations, as they have
been made at every period of the revolution t and
we have uniformli feen that the moil gigantic efforts
have followed the rumours of their being in the gulph
of bankruptcy. But the Mtmjgtar itfeif .pounces
thefe deputations. They have had accefs to his Impe-
rial Majelly—and it is evenfaid that Fouclis hashed
the botdoefs to lay before the Emperor, a faithful
piaure of the country. Be that as it may, it is cer-
tain that fuch paragraphs could not be inferred in any
Journal of Paris, without the fantlion of the Govern
ment, and they are, no doubt, intended to raire the
hopes' of peace in the public mind, and to give exhi•
!titration to the triumphal fete now going on, of which
our Readers will find fume account among the Ex-
trade in the preceding columns.

GENERAL MIRANDA.
By the Lifbon Mail, which arrived this morning,
we have the following intelligence, refpetting Me.
ILANDA
" VIGO, AUGUST 44.
" A brig has juR arrived, difpatched by the Go-
vernor of the Carraccas, with the intelligence df
MIRANDA having effeded a landing in the Bay of
Trifle, with a fore* of near 4,000 men. A Courier
was immediately difpatched toMadrid with the news."
Difpatches have been received fine our laR, liw
Lord Lenneamme at Paris. They were brought'
by Mr. Straw, who arrived at Deal from Boulogne
on Saturday night, and reached town yetterday
morning.
Mr. SMARR, after reaching the Foreign' Office, pro-
ceeded immediately to Sir FIANCRS Vieeser's honfe
in Arlington-Ricer, whence, the dif)patches were put
in a box, and feat off with another Meffenger (Mr.
Roanisor) to Lord Geateirt.s.e, at Dropmore.—
About fix o'clock in the afeerweon, the Meffenger re-
turned from Lord Gessivii.r.e„ with orders to rum.
mon a Council this day at two o'clock, to deliberate
on the contents of the difpatebes. Letters were,
therefor*, igued to all the Members accordingly, re-
quiring their attendance at the Foreign Office this
day. The Council had not broken up when our paper
was put to prefi.
This Council alfo sakes into deliberation the Dif- ,

patchy received from Penn:burgh Ina Saturday.
The Official Coustusaicatiou from the Court of

Peteriburgh, at this particular period; is certainly
of the very fire importanos-ssinore efpecially filmes it
is known, that the Emperor Aeszawnsa has refafed
to rat?) the Treaty imiseiest rpm D'OuBRIL is Pitth.
The bee informed circles affirm, that the difpatches
contain the baits of another powerful Coalition againft
France ; and that Aeax aortae pledges himfelf to
Puffer any extremity rather than yield to the incrdi.
nate and intuiting ambition of BONAPARTE. 8o far
as we can judge from the prefent afped of affairs, we
think the allegations may be well foundect.
A letter from St. Peterlburgh, of one day later date
than the difpatches traufmitted to Goverdinent. Rates
that news had jull reached that capital of a complete
vitory gained by the Ruffian Army over the Pestians,
in which the latter were alma all killed or taken

In our Paper of Therfday we Rated, on the *mho
rity of feveral of the Morning Papers, that Lord
Howlett had ordered the recommendation of the
Commiffioners for reviling the civil affairs of the Navy,
to be carried into immediate execution. An Officer
in one of the Dock Yards allures us, that the Rate-
ment is incorrect, and that the Lords Commiffinners
of the Admi.oalty have nn intention at prefent to
adopt a meafure, which would be attended with the
expence of an increafe of falaries to feve-al Officers
and Clerks.

On Sunday morning, the aft of September, a duel
was fought at Yarmouth, between two Officers of the
Rol:flure Miiitia. when Lieutenant M. received the

however, firth extrafted by the Surgeon of the regi
mint, and Mr. M. is likely to recover.
