Papers from the United States have reached Eng-
land, but not of a later date than others which had
been antecedently received. They confirm the reports
of the suspension of Mr. FOSTER'S diplomatic labours.
An article in the National Intelligenetr, which is con-
sidered as the Government paper, says, " The British
Orders in Council alone exclude us from an extensive
and lucrative trade with France." True, Sir, we
reply ; and the British Orders in Council exclude
Boulogne from an extensive and lucrative trade
with Bourdeaux. But it is not admitted, by any prin-
ciple of the law of nations that either you or we ever
heard of, that neutrals should have the same power
of trading during war with one of the Bellige-
rents, that their home-ports have with each other
during peace. America might certainly carry on,a
direct lucrative trade with France, avoiding England,
in conformity with BONAPARTE'S orders, as she would
a pestilential island, and submitting to be searched
whether she has touched here or not ; but we must
venture to inform her, that this is not the conduct of
a neutral, but of an hostile power. A Plena colony,
if BONAPARTE had any, in the West Indies could do

colony, if one existed, to do this, neither shall we

olsialping the patient, with a view to ascertain
ther the fall, to which the illness was attributed,
might not have produced a depression of the brain.
Accordingly, at the time appointed, the incisions
were made, the scalp drawn up, and the head exa-
mined, during all which time the young man mani-
fested no audible symptom of pain, or sensihility of
suffering whatever, until the application of an instru-
ment, with which the head was scraped in a particu-
lar part, and then, and once only, he uttered a groan.
No beneficial result appearing from this experiment,
and as his case seemed absolutely remediless,_ appli-•
cation was made to his regiment for his discharge.—
On Tuesday the 20th the discharge arrived. In the
course of a very few days afterwards he recovered,
and on Friday the 90th he was at Mr. Palmer's, a
farmer atThurlbear, two miles from Bickenhall, cut-
ting spars, carrying reed up a ladder, and assisting
his father in thatching a rick. On the next day. the,
31st, he was in the barton of Mr. Cozens, of Bicken-
hall, with a dick in his hand, killing mice ; and on
Sunday the Ist inst. Mr. Cozens met him in a neigh•
bowing copse, gathering nuts. The extraordinaty
rapidity of this young man's recovery, after obtaining
his discharge from his regiment, having excited, in
combination with other circumstances, an opinion
that imposition had been practised, some of the neigh-
bours
repo that that a press-gang was coming for
him. Thi is supposed, having reached his eats,

capacity, have had many opportunities of meeting

that. I therefore declare to you, that I trust you will
persevere in your determination to petition, until you
shall have obtained what every subject of this realm
has a right to enjoy—A, complete exemption from
temporal pains, on account of religious opinions."
Mr. Austeu's liberality and patriotism made an
impression on the Meeting that was evinced by every
possible demonstration of approbation, and he sat
down midst reiterated shouts of applause.
On the 26th ult. the following melancholy accident
took place at Middleton. Mr. T. Kidd, butcher, and
his wife, of Middleton, had not long, passed the
bridge over the Tees at that place, before the breast-
work fell. This caused them to return to the spot,'
and while below the arch, viewing a large crack there-
in, the whole came down, and buried them in the
ruins. Several persons set to work w remove the
stones, Ike. from the bodies, which, when extricateep

ROUIRY AT BecaxliteitAlli-nOUSZ..-1744nesitay it
Was discovered Ky a female servant to her Majesty.
that the presses in Buckingham-house which contain.
ed her Majesty's Court and other valuable dresset,
had been opened, and the contents, amounting to
.€9OOO in value, had been stolen therefrom. It was
usual for tl:t domestic who had the care of the pres• es
to inspect them once a-year, but from the Sovereigi.'s
illness they had not been wanted, and consequeeily
were not opened .until last Wednesday, when it e2S
found the dresses were
.gone, but the paprrs which
contained them were left, and a baize which covers
the whole carefully placed over the papers. Suspicion
bad not attached itself to any one till Thursday
afternoon, when the husband of the female who was
intrusted with the care of the presses, heard a gentle
tap at the door, and on opening it a man, who had
famerly been employed to keep the locks, &e. about
Buckingham-house in repair, presented himself with -
a key half hidden by the palm of his hand, who said
he was looking for a bell-hanger. The man was •
challenged
nwith having a key in his hand, which he
denied, and afterwards pulled one out of his pocket,
which the witness believed to be much larger in size
than the one he had is his hand. He was then se-
cured, and taken to Marlborough-street Office. It
•
appeared, that there was no injury done to the locks;
and, according to the testimony of Sir William Par-
son's, who had viewed the spot, no one could have
committed the robbery without being well acquain-
ted with the premises ; and according to the state-
ment of Mr. Hanson, Locksmith to the Royal Fa-
mily, the locks could have been opened only by a
duplicate key cr a skeleton, and a duplicate key
could not have been made without taking nil'

Mr. Hanson also stated, that the prisoner
had been about eight months in his employ, and
he discharged him as an indolent drunken man,
some time since. When in Mr. Hanson's employ,
he was constantly engaged his whole • time in
Buckinghani-house, but since he had been discharged
he had no pretence lot going there. According tn
the statement of Sir William Parsons, half a doien
men could not have carried away the stolen property
and on a future examination other evidence more
strong is expected to be brought against the prisoner
and others. He was accordingly remanded, and a
warrant issued to search his premises; a warrant was
also issued against another man soispected, who Laa
been discharged from Mr. Hanson's service about the
same tinfe as the prisoner, and who had been seen
about the house.
Bow STREET.—LITTLE Goss. To such an extent
has this system of private Lotteries arrived, that no
less than three Little Goes were suppressed in
the course of yesterday by Lavender and Vickery :
one in Bird-street, Manchester-square ; one in Carna-
', by-market • and one in Gray-street, Manchester.
square. The Agents apprehended were, George
Charles, William Dingier, and John Pitcher. In ad-
dition to the evidence of the officers, several witnesses
were produced who had insured numbers for blank:
or prize, and the thousand for the fist end last dtawn
for small sums. They were all convicted as rogues
and vagabonds till the ensuing Sessions.
MANSION-House.--Wilfidme ,:'ones, who has been
twice remanded on a charge of having stolen a bill
of exchange for £l5OO, in the house of Sir Francis
Baring and Co: was yesterday taken before the Lord
Mayor, for final examination.
Upon this occasion, however, the complainants, in
consequence of a communication they had with the
prisoner, and in consideration of his former good con-
'duct, signified their intention of foregoing a prosecu-
tion, en condition of his entering into the East India
.service as a soldier. To this proposal the prisoner
readily agreed, and be was ordered to be conducted
to the proper officer for entrance.
HATTON-Gaance.---Yesterday Thomas illexasufn
was brought before the Sitting Magistrate, charger
with stealing from Mrs. Levi a pair of breeches.
The prosecutrix was a vender of second hard
clothes, in Bell-court, Holborn ; and on Toe,d..v
last, as the prisoner passed her warehouse he taneie,l
a pair of grey kerseymere breeches, " ash good as de
sew," which were displayed at the door, and dexterous-
ly contrived to remove them without beng observed
by the prosecutrix. A neighbour's child ( them eight
years old), however, perceived him, and running
home, as he passed, cried out " Oh mother, mother,
there's the man that stole Mrs. Levi's breeches."*The
hue and cry was immediately raised, the prisoner
pursued and taken, when the breeches were found
concealed under his apron.
The parties were bound over to prosecute, and the
prisoner fully committed
.for trial at the next Old
Bailey Sessions.

THs Comer.—The elevated streets of the metropo.
Es were last night crowded with spectators, who
viewed with admiration this mysterious and sublime
object. At present it is apparently moving in a right
'line, which if continued, would pass eight degrees
north of Charles's Heart, and two degrees south of
the Star in the top of the tail of Ursa Major; and if
the observer is not mistaken, the Comet will pass the
first of these stars about the beginning of October
rest, and so continue advancing to its aphelion, or
farthest distance from the sun, gradually diminishing
its apparent size and splendour till it is lost to the
eye, which it will likely be before it recedes beyond
the distance of the or bit of the Planet Jupiter.
On Monday, about eight o'clock in the evening, a
dreadful affray occurred at the Plough. Thatcharn.
A party of volunteers from the Irish Militia, on their
way to join the 87th regiment, at Portsmouth, soar-
relied amongst themselves, and afterwards with the
persons who were in the hawse, of which they soon
took full possession, fuming the guests out. 'I he in..
habitants soon assembled, armed with guns, and broke
open the doors, desiring the soldiers to surrender,
which they refused to do, with threats, and atter/tits I
to wound those who approached them; on whiLb they I
were informed, that unless they immediately submit-
ted, they would be fired on ; they replii d " shoot and
be damn: d," on which a gun was discharged, which
killed (se of the Irishmen on the spot, tht cont nts
lodging in his heart. A coronet's inquest was held
on the body, who returned a verdict of 4, JustiGabli
Homicide." The soldiers are now at Nye bury. and
the matter will be brought beige the Magistrates 'of
Oat place in a few days.
