A letter from an Officer on board his Majely's
fhip ORPHEUS, at fea, March aB, lays, " We are
on the point of witnelllng the commencement of
the Hongey, which means an annual vifit to the
different ports of the Moluccas, where the Britifh
flat is now flying, and in like manner as heretofore
praaifed by the Dutch. The visit is made by the
c..mmercial refident, attended by a party of troops,
Orambeos, Coora-Cooras, and Prows, to the num-
ber of about too, armed with two, three, and four-
pounder-guns. In this vifitation caufes are heard,
orders are iffued, And Juilice Is adrninl tiered *rough-
out the ifiands."

A private letter from Canton Pays, " The new
EMPEROR IS particularly partial to the Englilh, a
circumilance which the Mandarins readily allow
to have originated with the Emboli.), of Lord MA-
CARTNEY; indeed, the favourable impreffions left
by that great Statefman on the minds of the Chi-
lade are every day more apparent. China goods
are at leafi 20 per cent. cheaper than they have
been before, and money is reprefented to be ingreat
abundance."

A private letter lately received from Bombay,
fa)s, " A very considerable trade is now carried
on with the king& mof Siam. The cotton pro-
duced at this place is found to be of an excellent
q lality. It is very remarkable, that the women
are the only merchants in buying goods, the men
being generally maintained by the indullry of their
wives. _ _

The harbour of Trincomale, feated on the Eat
fide of the iflind of Ceylon, is reckoned the bet
and fincli in the Eaft Indies, and is now a general
refort for our thipping in thole teas.
We underfland that a 4reat quantity of fine
hemp has been colleaed at Ceylon ; it grows prin-
cipally in Candy, and much attention is paid to
the growth of this article, which will form a new
fubjetl of exportation.
It has been recently afcertained, that in the Chit-
tagong difirietsthere are plantations of remarkably
large opuntias, trees on which the cochineal ink&
is fed and propagated ; and it is imagined, that
st cr.; tilde trees carefully fupplied with this inlet,
cochineal of excellent quality might be produced.
The fubjea is, however, referred- to the Board of
Trade. _ _ _ _

A letter kat received from Bengal lays, " MIA
of the We.ivers, who conttituted the wealth and
fopport of the great trading town of Mouneabund,
have fled into the litinkeah country, and claimed
the protalion of the R spit, who from motives of
policy, entertains them in his capital, and allows
them extenfive privileges. This place promifes to
become one of the moft floarithing diftritis in the
Eaft The !titian hfoonAILI, whore country ex-
tends 550 miles from Eaft to Weft, has alto given
them great encouragement in their manufactures
of cotton."

In confequence of the number of whales which
have lately made their appearance in the Bay at
the Ifland of St. ilelcna, font: flout boats have
been purchafed fur the puzpoic of taking them.
It is imagined that they have been difitirbed in
their ueual-refort to the Southward, and got far
out of (Mir Lititudz.

And Grief's (oft tribute pay!

Smite cc and BRAHAM are arrived in Town from
France, previous to performing at the Winter

Every one has a peculiar Addrefi. The adlreft
of Young Men confifts in deceiving Women ; the
addrili of Old Men in beirg deceived by them.
With a Courtier, addrefi is the art of convenient
fubmifiGon. With a Woman, diflimulation ; with
a Coquet—being now compl)ing, now repulfive.
With a Man of Intrigue it is cunning,and with an
Ambitious Man, policy. The cuklreff of a Parafite
is (hewn in accidentally dropping in at the hour of
dinner ; and the addrefe of moll Debtors is to can-
ceal theiraddnyi from their Creditors!
On Monday evening next we find, in addition

BLACKHEATH SWINDLER.—The celebrated Mils
Robertfon, in imitation of many former great per-
fonages, has lately publifhed an otology for her con-
duCt, including fume revere Rrietures on the cha-
rafter of thole individuals who, .unfortunately for
themfelves, had the audacity to accufe the fair
authorefs of what is vulgarly termed dilhonefly or
fwindling. The °Nat of the publication is two-
fold, to do away any unfavourable impreffions re
fpeCting her which the late aelion againt Creafy
might have produced, and to mile money for
the fupport of the affeEtionate and friendly Mifs
Sharpe, who, as the was the companion of her fplen-
dour, has generoufly been a partaker of her humi
liation and (offerings. The work is not exaftly of
the highefl literary merit, nor do we think the au-
thorefs will make as much noife in the world as a
writer as (he did in the charaeter of a rich heirefs.
It bears very palpable marks of being the produc-
tion of a mind confiderably diftempered, and it is
not eafy to determine whether it abounds moll in
methodiftical cant, affelted myflery, unmeaning,
though moll lcurrifous abufe ; or in the ufe of
figures, unparalleled for extravagance or abfur-
day'. The whole pamphlet is little better than
one continued (train of this wild fpecies of in-
veCtive againft all thole perfons who unfortu-
nately had dealings with hcr, all who have fincc
had any accefs to the place of her confinement,
the jailor who has her under his care, and, in
a word, a val.& number of people in the neigh-
bourhood of her imprifonment. It feems that
Mr. Oakley, by removing the furniture from her
houfe, firft difclofed her real chary hcr, and against
him the principal torrent of her abide is direileJ.
She is very indignant at the jailor, who (flue lays)
has been in the -habit of getting large firms of mo-
ney by (hewing her to a number of people from the
neighbouring places; and threatens him, as well as
a number of other perfons who have treated her with
incivility, with the direful effects of her difpleafure
at a future period. She talks indeed throughout
the work very big of the redreli (he expects to 00.
tarn againfl her prefent perfecutors. The newfpa-
pens the devotes to the moll exemplary punifh-
ment, and in her peculiarly elegant phrafeology,
(he obferves, " Let their tongues beware, or they
may be blown down their throat by the foul air."
Doll thou apprehend, gentle leader, whence this
foul air is to proceed? If not, we would have thee
to know that it is to iffue from a canna" which this
intrepid heroine is now preparing for their dame-
tion! We hear a good deal of the people who are to
aid her in this great work of vengeance,and among
thefe a Mr. Robinfon, who lives near Edinburgh,
and a Mr. Cunningham, now in Egypt, arc par-
ticularly t tdiltinguilh thcinfelve. Her charstaer
is to he freed from the finallett implitation of dirt
honefty. She is to appear in the amiable form of
persecuted virtue, and her fame, inffead of being
diminifhed by this temporary cloud which obfcures
its Ware, is, (to ufe one of her own beautiful limi-
lies) " like the fnow bail to gather b) rolling." Nor
does the confine herfelf wholly to what relates
to her own concerns, but with that warnifil of
friendihip which is rrer found in
,rod hearts, ti,.
accufes her cred•tors sri,h skit auding Mifs Sharpe ,
of property to a large amount, anti leas ing

The ToWn Pl.ite of 501. afforded yetterdNy nioß
excellent diverfion. High Odds werebetted before
Ranting againft Sir Sidney. Dotterel! and Egham
were the two favourites; the latter Horfe was
deeply backed by his Grace the Duke of QEEs S.
BERRY, though he did nothing. Sir Sidney won the
firtt Heat eafy; Dotterel! the fecond. Dotterel! seas
admirably rode by young CHIFFNR Y. All the
Horfes paired the Diftance Pod the fecond Heat
clofe together.—Dotterel! then 1:11 the whip, which
he anfwered fa readily, that he won by a length,
and appeared fo frefh that three to one were betted
he won the Plate. At Ranting for the Third Heat
Fgham made the Play, and kept the /part for a mile.
He was then patted by Sir Sidney and Dotterel!,
who run neck and neck till within two hundred
yards of the winning Polt, when DENNY, who rode
Sir Sidney, made a putt, and came in winner by
ball a length. In fpite of the (bowery appearance
of the weather the Courfe was numeroufly and
fafhionably attended. Lady Howe fported an
elegant coach and four, his Grace of Qy EtNs-
BERRY a landau and fix, and curricles were almoft
innumerable. A defcendant of Fi'ch was appre-
hended in the ad of attempting a quick transfer of
A gold watch, and received the cetemony ab-
lution, which he bore with becoming refignatiun.
Mr.Dußasincluring the week has won three Plates;
one by John o'Groat, fince.purchafed by his Royal
Highnefs the PRINCE of WALES, and two by Sir
Sidney.
SPORTING ARV:OOI'I.-I'u POR, who was mlny
years game keeper to Sir H. Mit DM AY, in Hamp-
(hire, adually broke in a fpayed black tow to find
game, back and Rand, as haunch as any pointer,
which he called Slat, and (hot a confiderable quan-
tity of same to her. Slut Was otherwife very laga.
eious ; for, one day, by way of trial, the was de-
tired to find Tupor in the mid(t of a crowd, and
(he inftantly made her way betwixt the legs of a
number of perfons, until the reached her matter,
after whole deceafe (he was fold by audion for a
confiderable fum. Tupor had as fine an eye as
his pig had a nofe, for he was an extraordinary
trot; he would hit a cricket ball Stith a bullet
from a fowling-piece, when bowled with the great-
eft velocity, and at a confiderable didance.

During the fhort vitit the Duke of BEDFORD re-
cently paid to the PRINCE, at Baightoti, he one
evening paffed the outfide of the Promenade, at ai
time one of the performers WAS tinging; and (lop-
ping for a moment to linen to the tong, a man
hallily made up to him, and atrured him, that if
hc pleafed, he would put him over the !saline: for
Hulling if he thought proper, as hc had A lais'er
hard by, obferving, that it would be afay."og of
•s. 6d. for if he went in at the door, it would coil
him 35. 6d. which in theft herr bard Fine., was more
than every perfon could afford. His Grace kindly
thanked him for his civility, obferving that he
would prefently fend a few friends who might be
inclined to profit by his pat: kirk offer ; hut the
tallow fearing the ottcers of juflice might be feat
to the fpot, thought proper to decamp. It ap-
peared he had carried on this prs'lice with con-
fiderahle fuccefs for a long time.
Barnet Fair began on Thu. fday ; these was a
great thew of excallent hurfcs, and tiL fair was ex-
tremely well attended.
ORIGIN OF BARTHOLONIFW FAIR.—On the call-
fide of Smithfield formerly Rood the Priory of St.
Bartholomew, founded in the year z 102, by RA.
Mr RF, a Gentleman of contidcrahle fortune, and
who was held in great ettimation by the Kitir; for
his pleafantry and wit ; he became the f d Prior,
and continued in that fituation till his d:ath.
