COTTON ifrEAVE,M.

The Cotton Spinning, which a good many months
has been• comparatively flat, has acquired an uncom-
mon activity within these few weeks at Glasgow.
About six month's stock of yarn, formerly on hand,
is now bought up, principally by English Merchants.
This celerity of demand in the Glasgow market, is
attributed to the general strike" in Manchester,
amongst the Cotton-spinners. In Glasgow, Cotton-
spinners who are steady and active are making from
£3 10s. to £4 10s. a fortnight, but they have to pay
a small sum for their piecers wages.

Etnrnmt Neuman or TRADI:.—The value of Ex-
ports from the Port of Liverpool, between the sth of
April and sth of July, 1818, exceeds that of the cor-
responding quarter of 1817, by more than five hun-1
dyed and fifty thousand Pounds 1
A method of illegal expo. tatipn was discovered last
week-at Liverpool, which deserves the notice of all
ship-owners and others concerned in the management
of vessels—a person engaged by the James, CoweLt.,
for Pernambuco, a quantity of crates of earthenware
as well as some hams in tierces. Some of the crates
were shipped and also the tierces of hams. The hams
being undervalued in the entry, the searchers pro-1
ceeded to examine them, when they found barrels of
gunpowder concealed amongst them, they then pro-
ceeded to examine the crates, and found a very large
quantity packed in barrels amongst the ware.
In the Insolvents' Court, on Friday, William Hall
was remanded back to prison, for squandering upon
attornies the money with which he should have paid
a just delft (he had expended £l9 in resisting the
payment of £l3. 1014 and for fraudulent transfer of
his property.
Camber :nil Fair, the best regulated of any near
the metropolis, commenced this day, with its usual
frolic and fun. Parson's Green Fair began yesterday.
The following is an extract of a letter from the
North of Spain, dated July 30:
" The ship liascongada alias Los Tres llermanos, was cont-
pletely ready at Santarder to sail for Lirna, but in the night of
the 2'kl inst. was surplizeed. by a boat with 25 men, from an is.
surgent privateer of 18 guns, at anchor in the entrance of the
port; they obtained possession• of the erip, although she was
lying within pistol-shot of the Mole, and were not perceised by
any one except a passenger; they threatened him with instant
death if he should make the least noise, diet the cables, and
towed the ship out. At midnight, howeverelhey accidentally
fell foul of a brig, at anchor towards the entrance of the port
and the rigging of both vessels getting entangled, they attempted
to cut the brig's rigging. The Master came air deck, and gave
the alarm, calling out, ' The Insurgents !' The troops on shore
were turned out, the bells were rung, and the boat's crew not
being able to clear their prize from the brig, thought it neces-
sary to abandon her, and returned to the privateer, taking with
thew the ship:. beat."
The l'arts Papers furnish us with a report of the
Trial of the Countess de Sr. Moats and Madame
GAUDECHARD, her daughter, for libelling
_Colonel
BARBIgR DUFAY, which trial came on before the
Tribunal of Correctional Police on Thursday last.—
Mops. ~assume, the Colonel's Advocate, took a review of his
client's life; said that the duel, In which he unfortunately killed
M. de Sr. MOSYS. arose out of M. Duran having purchased half
his lands while the former was an emigrant; and justified the
mode of the duel, whisk was by taking two pistols, one loaded,
and the other not, and choosing them by Ict‘whiela gave the Count,
be said, a great advantage over his client, who Val extromcly
expert at his weapon), had they fought with swords. •He ridi-
culed the idea, that his client could have ever proposed that
they should strap theft loos togetl.er, and then fight with pistols
as they best could. He was here remir.ded by Madame de Se.
Atones' Counsel, that that fact was admitted in Cal. Derav's in-
terrogatory ; on whieh he said his client must have admitted it by
way of a pleasantry, The ca:anuties pub'ished by the Countess
against the Colonel, he said, aimed at his life.. M. de COUTURE
did not insist on his right to reply on behalf of the Ladies, but gave
way to M. 'elasceasme, the public prosecutor, who contended,
although the Countess and her daughter most be convicted of
calumny, yet there was something se sacred in their grief at the
loss of both their husburds through the Colonel's means (M. de
GAUD/MUM, died cf sorrow for the loss dills father.in-law, the
Count de Sr. Moats), as ought to have imposed -silence on Co-
lonel Derav from a spec!es t.f delicacy of social propriety; and
of shame. If she hest calh.tl ;lira a monster' an assassin, a man of
ferocity, a murderer, and a tiger thirsting for blood, they were
but epithets bestowed on duellists by hundreds of celebrated
Writers ; but the duellists never thought of bringing actions for
libels against the Philosophers and Moralists. The Court found
the Ladles guilty; but, in consequence of extenuating circum-
stances, only sentenced them to pay a fine of 50 francs and all
expenses ; and ordered, that the libellous publications should be
suppressed. .
The following is another Letter from Count BER-
TRAND to Sir ilvosox Lowe, on the removal of Dr.
O'MeanA. It will be read with a lively interest by
all who cherish in their bosoms the spirit of that ge-
nerosity to the fallen which used to be the charac•
teristic of Englishmen :

M LONCIrOOO, ARIL 24, 121 S.

" &a,—When, on the 12th April, I wasinformed by Doctor.
O'Meara that he should discontinue the exercise of his functions
u Physician to the Emperor Napoleon I hastened to send a
message to Major Gorrequer, h,:ii,ging him to favour me with a
call, having some communications to make to him of the very
highe.t. importance.
" I told this (Nicer, that I had intended to apprize him of
our great regret at lialcombe's house being deprived of supply-
ing the provisions ; that the journey of the principal of that house
to London, could not be a reason for depriving him of his busi-
ness, since the service had been always performed by his part-
uers, Messrs. Fowler and Cole, and Mr. Balcombc had never
directly interfered therewith ; but that the communication I had
just received from Doctor O'Meara was vastly more important,
and that the Emperor could not rest a single day without the aid
of Doctor O'Meara.

• The next day, the 13th, I had the honour to write to you
to the same effect : I had hoped to have an answer in the course
even of that day, but this is the 24th, and I am still without any
reply. Thus for twelve days has the Emperor Napoleon been
deprived of all medical assistance.
" In the month of October he was fifteen days without see-
ing Doctor O'Meara, at the time you assumed the astonishing
right of imposing upon him the obligation to issue his Bulletins
only under your dictation, without their being first submitted to
the Emperor, or the original left in his hands. Then, however,
his disorder was in its infancy—now it has made some consider-
able progress.
" Count Montholon' who lodges in the same part of the build-
ing as the Emperor, informs me, that on the 18th, and to-day,
the 24th, he was awakened at two o'clock in the morning by the
Emperor's valet de chambre, and remained at that Prince's bed-
side from two o'clock in the morning till five, witnessing the
sufferings he endured, and utterly unable to alleviate them. Your
restrictions upon Longwood of the 10th April have thus already
kad the saddest effect.
" I beg, therefore, to repeat my request, that you would re-
store Dr. O'Meara to the exercise of his functions, and discon-
tinue to annoy him and make him feel the effects of such ill-
trectment, by removing the restrictions you, so- contrary to what
Lave been in fcrce for three years, have imposed upon him by
your letter of the 10th April, to which he neither will nor can
s-hr.it, without dishononrin3 himself.
" In short, Sir, whatever reasons you may be able to allege,
reflect upon the consequences of contlnuiug things in their pre-
sent state, and of d.:privieg the Emperor of the Physician of his
choice, without having substituted another, conformable to any
letter of the 13th April. If you still persist in this line of con-
due:, this arbitrary net will be duly appreciated by Europe, by
yogi own country, and even by your Ministers.
" have t:te honour to he, &c.
(s.scei)
" lo Lieut. Cm. Sr Hudson Lowe."
