Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East-India House, when Captain J. lumina was
swot n into the command of the ship Earl of Balcarras,
consigned to Bombay and China.
Monday last eight puncheons of contraband brandy
were seized at Watreetree, near Liverpool.
The public character at Liverpool, who is impli-
cated in the late nefarious transactions at that port, and
who is stated to have planned and curried into execu-
tion tie extensive frauds in question, has absconded.
A letter from Liverpool, received this morning,
states, that accounts had been received there of the
sailiug of several vessels tr Barbadnes, with sup-
plies for the 'Patriots, who were c .ntiotting their
career or success in every department. Motutho had
beets cOmplettly defeat-d; and, from his sanguinary
conduct, he oas despise,' Lid execrated through the.
Main. The kite' cc: :Attie' by stating, that it will
take tuote men th.n add Spain can ever send out, to
make any thing I.ke an impression on the Patriots.
The accalints wfach continue to arrive from vari-
ous parts of the country, sire still very cheering.
The Manchester manufacturers have advanced the
wages of their workmen sixpence on the piece. The
trade in Yorkshire is viry brisk in woollens and com-
mon cloth,
.particularly the latter. All hands are
now employed, and we understand that the cloth is
principally for the Russian army.
There'will be a new moon at a quartet past four
to-nsorrow afternoon, and in consequence of this or.-
coniog so near to the equinox, an extraordinary high,
tide may be expected oa the following day, which,
according to the calculations of the French astranch
mars, will be as 1:13 to 0:73. the height of the lowest
spring tide of the present year. Its operation on the
coasts will of course be more or lest influenced by the
power and direction of the winds, but in all low situa-
tions it sill be prudent to guard against its effects.
Another extraordinary tide of nearly equal height
may be expected on the 9th of November.
An interest is . naturally felt is this country in all
that concerns the Protestants of France. According
to decision of the Court of Cessation, to which
LOIJISS MADIJUIIIe Pumas AMT. and Jt&x Cu eaaot„
bad appealed against the sentence of the Tribunal of
Lavaux, pronounced on the 2sd of July, it appears
that, notwithstanding the Third Secret and Private
Article of the Edict of Nantes, which is in these
words t-66A150 they shall not be constrained to hang
or adorn the fronts of their houses on the days of
Fetes ; but cativo suffer that it be covered or adorned
by the authority of the Local Officers, raving that
those of the said religion shall not contribute any
thing for this purpose :" and that, notwithstanding
the Charter, French Protestants are liable to penalties
'for not decorating the fronts of their residences in ho-.
nour of the festivals of .the Catholic Church. Three
of that persuasion have actually been fined in the-
'mount of one hundred and fifty francs, for not act-
ing In opposition to their religious opinions during the
recent Frie de Dire. el Considering." declares the
Court of Cessation on the 29th of last August, ',that
the regulations of the Mayor of Puy Laurent throw
no obstacles in the way of that tricots coorrhifi which
the appellants profess—considering that the procedure
is quite regular—the Court rejects the appeal of the
aforesaid three, and condemns them to pay a fine of
150 francs to the public Treasurer."

insrprim.has.been expressed at the silence in
which the circumstioces of the late disturbance in
Lyons and its vicinity have been passed Over, and
their suppression is generally attributed to the enslaved
state of the public press. From private accounts we
learn that there was no actual disturbance. but the
public 'mind was agitated with a violent appre-
t bension .of an explosion, and the Government. par-
tecoOating in the fears of the people, took the alarm,
.and made the necessary' preparations to meet the
threatened danger. Whether it was entirely a false
alarm, or that the precanttons averted the evil, hat
not been ascertained. Only one act of violence is
said to have been committed dating this interval. A
gensdarine, addressing himself to a stranger in the
street. desired him to repeat liw k Bei, threatening,
in case of refusal, to shoot him. The latter did re-
fuse. and the gensdatme discharged his piece at him.
but without effect, on which the stranger drew a pistol
from Isis bosom, and killed the geusdarme on the
spot. The stranger was immediately arrested,
Pied, found gushy of murder, and executed. This I
act of severity and injustice cannot be justified by
the fears of a secret conspiracy. however founded in
tact. The stranger who refused to exclaim rive lei
itsi, may have been a man of an obstinate or inde
prudent spirit; but his refusal did not justify the at-
tempt on his lue 4y the Bens-alarnse. nor the sentence
of the Judge, who ptromannead ago'ittt dose
4dence a murder.
