A letter, dated Fort Royal, the 21st June, says:—
" A new Collector has arrived at St. Pierre's, from
France, with instructions, and as soon as any vessel
comes to anchor in this place, a gliard of soldiers are
sent on board—and after the Captain has made entry
of his cargo, nn Officer takes an account, as it is
landed, and if it is not according to the Captain's
manifest, the vessel and cargo are forfeited, or a
heavy fine imposed. This has never been done in the
French Islands before. hey have seized two vessels
since n;y arrival ; one will be lost ; the other will
cost the master 5000 francs to get her clear."
Extract of a letter from a British Officer, dated
Banks of the Ganges; Jan. 21, 1818 The army
is expected in immediately ; every thing is settled,
'and all our possessions in India are rendered more
*tame, as the war has given us an opportunity of
clipping the wings of Scindiah and his Chiefs, and
of burdening them with the subsistence of an addi-
tional number of troops. Great prai,e is due to the
Noble Marquis (Hastings) for his exertions in bringing
.so peat a body of troops into the field, and regu-
'sung them so as at a Certain time they all moved
upon one spot, and completely hemmed in the Insur•
gents. Our army- was computed at 95,000 men, a
;maser number of troops than had ever been in the
field together in'lndia before. The whole Continent
of Ilindostan is now iponr possession. There are six
additional Sepoy regiments to be raised immediately,
and also each regiment of cavalry is to have two ad-
ditional troops, that we may with facility retain our
extensive and important possessions in this quarter
of the globe."
It is mentioned in a French Journal, that a Com-

sion of the Barbarians.

different Emperors, and other devices : the jar is ca-
pable, of holding nearly half a gallon, and the whole

' in that neighbourhood.
MINES IN NORWAY.—A letter from Christiania,
dated the .''4th of July, says, « most of the great iron
works have consumed the woods in their neighbour-
hocd, and ought to be removed nearer to the remain-
ing woods, if they are to be carried on to advantage;
but this is attended with great difficulties, because
they would thereby be removed from the advanta-
geous situations for disposing of and shipping their
produce, which they have hitherto had. Their silver
works at Konigsberg !rive received since the last
Storthin- a considerable annual sum, to assist in
I protecuting experimental works, which have hitherto
succeeded pretty well. The great copper works, at
Roeraas, whicil a few years ago, brought in a large
dividend to the proprietors, have now greatly de-
-1 clined ; and the King has, therefore, made proposals
to the Storthing, for new regulations and new privi.
[lege, for these works."
