VAUXHALL.

The Fete which had been prepared for Monday, in
honour of his MaiesTy's Birth D 47, was given last
night with great splendour. Various additional illu-
minations wet e exhibited in devices and mottoes appro.
plirte to the occasion, and in the different performances
retry opportunity was sought for giving expres►ion to
sentiments of loyalty and affection to the Sovnitzton.
These attractions, together with the fineness of the
evening, assembled a large concourse of people, amongst
wham were many distinguished fashionables. The
entertainments were so varied, that a constant succession
of amusement attracted the company from one part of
the Gardens to another until a late hour. The grand
and interesting spectacle of The Battle of Waterloo was
conducted with peculiar spirit and effect, exciting the
universal admiration and applause of the assembled
crowd.

STATE or TRADE.—The trade of Bradford last week
so far improved, that the wages of some workmen are,
on some descriptions df labour, higher than previous to
the great turn-out; and we are happy to learn that so
much openness and goud•will exists between the masters
sod the workmen, that there is little reason to antici-
pre any differences ripening again into foolish hostility.

at Charleston, we learn, that a schooner from the coast of Africa,
with 250 negroes, came to anchor about four leagues off Trinidad
de Cuba on the 49th of June. She landed the negroes at night, and
muted on the 31st under Dutch colours. She was dispatched from
St.Jago de Cuba ; this is her third trip within a short time. She

Fztract of a Letter from an Officer of an American merchant
'awl, dated at Lintio, March 20, 1827—" On the Ist instant
nen was a battle between five boats of the Americans and Eng-
lish lying in this port, and two Chinese Mandarin boats, and
one of their men.of-war's launches, occasioned by a paw boat
coming down with orders for the ship Citizen, of New York, to
proceed up to Canton. The Mandarins took the pass boat, and
were towing her towards the Chinese vessels of war, when the
Antericaos and English manned their beats, and went in pur.
Jo about half an hour the foremost boat came up with
illem,muskets were fired, and stones thrown from the Mandarin
boats; but oar other boats coming up, they began an attack
and succeeded in retaking the pass boat and orders, and pro-
ceeded to the Citizen. I heard on the 2d, that two Mandarins
woe Wed, and two Chinese wounded. There are three or four
Chiaese vessels of war lying here now, and there are said to be SO
wore coming down front town, distant t3O miles. We now lie with
dl ear guns double.sbotted, ready fur battle. The vessels that are
hew I think more than a match for them. It will probably put a
lop to business for some time at Wampoa, where the vessels lie
tutu! bound to Canton. Then: were two men slightly wounded
lexe haws, being the only ones injured on our side in this affair."

duction of that species of grain for the next three months,
will be decided in the course of this day, and the result
be declared in the Gazette of to-morrow evening. The

From these quotations it will be seen that little doubt
is entertained that the quarterly certificate struck this
day will have the effect of opening the ports for foreign
oats and oatmeal for the next three months, at the duty
specified by the 3d Geo. IV. cap. 60-4 s. per quarter.
