By different conveyances we have received a mass of
Colonial intelligence.--The two Houses of Legislature
of Antigua met 'on the 15th of July, when numerous
Resolutions were adopted by the A ssembly—" on the de-
pressed state of Agriculture--the apprehension of the
injury from t'.e meisure in agitation of admitting into
the British market'the sugars of the Mauritius on the
same footing with those of his Majesty's Colonies in the
West Indies, should it be carried into effect ; and that;
under the pressure of such accumulated difficulties, the
House feels itself called upon to announce its determi.
nation, as one step towards the alleviation of the pub.

currency to 'arty future CaptainiGeneral. It was also
resolved, that the SPIAIIIR do, by the first °ppm-

The Borbadoes Globe, of the '26th of July, contains
an 3tcount of the proceedings in the House of Assembly,
relative to admitting a second Moravian Establishment

The Assembly was favourable to the petition, and a
bill was introduced to carry the object prayed for.
-It appears by the last accounts from St.-Vincent's,
which .are to the 20th of July, that numerous cow.-
plaints had been made of the unfriendly conduct of
Admiral JACOB, Governor of Guadaloope, in causing
British vessels to be detained, merely for passing within
a certain limited distance from that island. Captain
DIJKSCOMBi who commanded a small vessel from .lier-
muds, bound to Antigua, was taken by a French cutter,
on the pretence that he was too near the land, though
six miles off shots,. and claimed as a lawful prize; other
weals Were in the same situation. There is no doubt;
however, but that when the Circumstances are made
known to our !Admiral on that station, -Governor JAcoa
will be taught to respect the mat itime rights of nations,

The Ktatis hounds have left the New Forest for
Windsor, quite out of order, from the hardness of the MI and the
thickness of the cover. They are to return in October. Ike stags
have shewn their amazing speed and cunning by mixing with the
herds, and avoiding being taken-by the archers which were posted
in all pointi. A nun at Lyndhurst has oared to engage to drive
titan, only on horseback, into a toil, or, as he says, through that
t )wn singly, in the sane manner they rake the forms ponies. At
it is, not one stag has been taken alive; three stags and one bind
have been killed.
