There ii a report in the City, stating that disputes
had arisen between the English and American Com-
missioners in running the boundary line in Upper
Canada. On inquiry, we find the report is brought
by private letters from Quebec to the 22d ult. The
Commissioners are stated to have sent dispatches on
the subject to their respective Governments.

A variety of letters have been received from Cadiz,
of a date as recent as the 2d. of December, and it
would appear, by the subsequent extract, that the
new expedition preparing for South America from
thence, is to be on a very extended scale. Besides
the native vcs.els and the Russian fleet, many foreign
ships have been freighted for that purpose. One
Swedish transport libd been engaged at the expense of
15,000 dollars. The time of the departure of this ar-
mament is stated as the 25th of this month, but from
the situation of the Russian fleet, it is utterly impos-
, sible that any such intentica, if entertained, can be
fulfilled—and nothing seems yet to have been posi-
tively determined as to the destination of the whole
or any pan of this force.

" CADIZ; DECEMBER I.

'a The expedition preparing in this port, and which
is destined *our SoodiAmerte.ut Colonies, is mush
larger dia. was at list mentioned, and numerous
foreign ships have been purchased, which are to form
a past of it. The Russian squadron is every moment
expected, and. will escort them. The number of
troope'that see to embark is double that previously
fixed open, and several battalions from the frontiers
will be employed in this service.—A vessel has reached
this place from Limi, and two others from the Ha.
_ mule& The first has brought no news of import.
‘tence from Peen, but the others convey intelligence
that she corps of Mina, surrounded by the Royalists,
had been almost entirely destroyed, so that scarcely
fifty men escaped. We are uncertain whether Mina
be himself taken. but we are sure he was wounded in
the action."

The advises which we have teen by the Hambusgh

Mails, state", that in consequence of a request made
by the Court of Spain, the Danish Government has
net only renewed the prohibition of the export of
arnis and other means of war, from her colony, the

island ut St. Thomas, but the more effectually to
preveift disobedmoce to her mandate. has prohibited
likewise the importation.

&JIM OP MR. CIIRRief.

It is with extreme regret we hare to announce that
this celebrated orator closed his mortal career on
Tuesday night, at his house, Amelia-place, Bromp'on.
His last moments were so tranquil, that th•ise around
him could scarcely mark the moment of expir.itinn.
It will be some consolation to the friends of Mr.
CURRAN, to hear, that though surprised by sick Less,
at a distance from his home, he was net condemned
to receive the last offices from strangers, three of his
children, Captain CURRANp of the Navy, his son, at
the Irish Bar, and his daughter, Mrs. TAYLOR, were
fortunately in London, and had the mournful grati-,
fication of paying the last duties to their illustrious
father. Mr. Curran was nearly 70 years of age, and
had been for some, years declining rapidly in health
and spirits. With the exception of a short excursion
to Ireland, he had spent the last twelve months at
his house in Amelia-place. The forenoon was gene-
rally occupied in a solitary ramble through the neigh-
bouring fields and gardens, and the society of a few
friends in the evening ; and though the brilliancy of
'his wit shone to the last moment, he seemed-like one
that had outlived every thin.g in life that is worth en-
joying. On Thursday last he dined abroad with a
party of friends. Next morning lie felt himself very-
ill, and he kept his bed until his death. Mr. Curran
was a native of the county of Cork. His parents
had nothing to bestow on bins but the rudiments of
A cla►sical education, which he completed in Trinity'
College, Dublin. Shortly after he was called to the
Bar, he mart ied Miss O'Dr.u., a lady of respectable
family, but slender fortune, with wh .m he became
acquainted on circuit. His splendid talents soon
brought him into notice in his pr .fession, in which he
obtained a silk gown in the administration of the
Duke of PORTLAND —During the Vice-R..yalty of
the Duke of BILDF • RD, au arrangement was made
with the late Sit MfaIARL SMITH, then Master of the'
Rolls, by which Mr. Cumin was appointed in his
place. Mr. Connate enjoyed a pension of 473000
a-year, settled upon him upon his resigning his office'
in favour of Sir Wm. M‘Mation, the present Master
of the Rolls in Ireland.

BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 27.

About one o'clock in the night of the 23d instant,
another fray took place in toe street of the Dead,
between the Grenadier Guards of the Regiment
Emperor Francis on the one part, and men belong-
ing to the Landwelti and citizens on the ••ther part,
in which one citizen had his head cleft, and another
his shoulder hewn off, and several were besides se-
verely wounded. •
It were vet y much to be wished that our regiments
-ot Guards would give up altogether their custom of
treating the Lainiwelir with contempt, and that, as
they even display it by resurtiog to abusive languao,
they might be s-verely punished. They h 'ye nut the
smallest ground for this conduct, fur the deeds of
the Landwehr can never be forgotten by us; and.
they have been handed down to pnsterty with the
pr.tise they nttrited Ly our King, .unong others its
the monuments of Grousbeeren and ll,nneAita. One
might almost suppose,. that there was something like
jealousy at the bottom of this unpatriotic behaviour
of the Guards, becaUse in the lan campaigns they
iuund fewer opportunities of distinguishing them-
selves than the Landwehr.. •

published by a M. Von der Leyen, frequently a
Member of the Jury at Coblentz, a tract in Jury
Trials, in which he, from his own extensive expe-
rience, and by a series of roses, cites a number of
real judicial murders committed by Juries, and proves
the great disadvantages of the Institution so couvine,
ingly, that no judicious, nay even no man of a hn.

We proceed gradually here also with theintrodue.

noranceof our constitution and relations, the greatest •
blunders are perpetually made. N.) intelligent per.
son can doubt th it we owe great and important advan-

of grain last year was of uncommon advantage is the
country ; wider Swedish rale exportation would have
been prohibited and confined to Sweden—only the
numberless annoyances. with which we are unneces.

general discontent; we cannot be made to compie.

are better than our old- and simpie Institutions.

BERLIN, SEPTEMBER so.
The report relative to the duty of 30 per cent. to
be imposed on English merchandize and manufac-
tures imported into the Prussian States, still prevails;
but we know from good authority, that there is, as
yet, nothing determined on that subjoct. The report
is founded on the proposition of the Finance Commit.
tee of the Council of State, which is to undergo a
more complete deliberation on the next meeting of
that assembly.
The reduction of our army of the Basis more than
ever spoken of; i:s maintenance consumes a great
part of our revenoe. We are assured that a plan for

1.4.13141 P, SEPTEMBER SO.

The moveint.iit of the troops which are marching
from Andalusia t.) Estrernadura continues to furnish
matter for conjectures among our drawing-room pn.
liticians. It is now reported that the walla is to be
CAlleck nut, which will add to the army an effective
force of 3.5,000 men, for the militia corps are always
complete. They are raised by a sort of conscription,the
regiments being tilled up as soon as the order is gives..
The militia is an army of reserve, which Sp..in hat
always ready. Still, however, we doubt the truth of
this report. Our discussions with Portugal cannot
require a measure so serious, and • which would at
once derange all our financial plans ; and io the pres
sent state of Eurdpe, just escaped from the evils of
an unexampled war, what Power would wish to fire
the first gun ? The painful precedency, we trust, is
not reserved for its.

The demands of the people of Castile for permit.
sion to export their corn are continual. They repro.
sent that the harvests of the last years hate been ex•
treatiely abundant; that corn is almost the only ar,
ticle of commerce which the province supplies; and
that the sale there is reduced to the small consump.
tiun of the inhabitants, at prices extremely 10w....
Specie is wanting for trade, and the cultivators• say
that they are unable to make the necessary advances
requisite for the culture of their fields, the produce
of which does not recompense their labouts. His
Majesty is moved by these entreaties, but. as there
may be political considerations which o; pose them,
he has ordered the Council of Castile to mike a re-
port io him upon the subject, ai speedily as possible.
While this great abundance is complained ut .n Cas•
tile, cons is at. a high price in Catalonia, where the
harvest was bad.

The means of transport are wanted in Spain ; the
provinces on the coast always find it more advanta-
geous to provision themselves Irons abroad. than to
seek for corn in the interior of Castile. The raea•
sures of precaution against the plague. used at Bar.
celona, where vessels undergo quarantine, cuntribute
to keep up the prices in Catalonia.

almost self-evident, that, where this trade is per-
mitted, no other can be carried on. We have no,

accomplishing its, complete annihilation; and in-

It is certain that at Amsterdam the influence of

COURT OP KING'S BENICH. MIX S.
BAUTLh'TT 4. DOLIUB: AND WIFE.

' This was an Action of Slanier. The declaration
!alleging that the defendant's wife had said of and
!concerning the plaintiff, " that she was chi Mathew
Windsor—that sbe was an old bawd, and had stood
some time since in the pillory—that she ought to
have been shot twenty years ago—that she was capa-
ble of seducing all the young gitls in the parish—and
that she kept two lionses of ill lame on the Terrace
in Palace-yard, Nos- 7 and 9."
Tlie same cause of action was tried in the Sittings
after last Tom, but the plaintiff was nonsuited for
want of an initendo, that Maher of notorious
memory, in King's-place, was a petson of bad and
immoral character. The declaration was now intended
iu that respect. It appeared that the plaintiff had
formedy been married to a person named Windsor;
and that she had a residence at Lewisham, in Kent,
and also occupied a house in Palace-yard. The de-
fendants, who kept a public house adjoining the
plaintiff, had rented a piece of land of her, from
which she was desirous of ejecting them, and this oc-
casioned disputes, which grtee rise to the present cause
of action. The words were ;noire,' by a person named
Richard Alexander, who represented himself to he
the brother of Sir Joseph Alexander, of Epsom, in
Surrey, anti described himself as a Gentleman living
on his means, but that he had been, in the course ot
his life, a farmer, an appraiser, and a butcher ; that
Ire had sold the house at Lewisham to the plaintiff,
and, to oblige her, had superintended the repairs of
her residence for et month or six weeks at the time the
words were spoken, and slept there during Oat time.
Upon being asked in what part of the house he slept,
he s ,id a bed was made up for him isi one of the par.
lotus. The words were spoken of the plaintiff over
a hedge by the defendant's w ife.
Mrs. Mills, the daughter of the plaintiff, also proved'
the wards.

Mr. SCAIMETT addressed the Jnry OR the part of
the defendant. with suitable observations in reduction
of damages.

FLANVERS MAIL.

The accounts by the Mail of this; day announce 1,
tat the disturbances which had atisen in various
parts of the Nethrriands, on account of the dearneu
of provisions, seem for the most part to be appeased.
At Ghent tranquillity is restored, and the Corn pro
raised by the Government begins to arrive. Some
persons concerned in the late disturbances have been
arrested. A: Antwerp there has been no lather dis•
turbance, and Corn is falling.
There were some sylvptcuris of disorder at Leyden
on the :16th June, but they were happily checked by
the prudence of the Magistrates. 4 Proclamation
was published, forbidding more than three or tour
persons to assemble together in tlic streets.
At Brossels, tranquiliity bring perfectly restored,
the Companies of the City Guard, which had distin.
Rnished themselves by their activity and zeal, were
dismissed with thanks on the 28th.

There have born disturbances at Courtray, where
tbere being no garrison, the chief inhabitants tool:
arms and restored order. At Dinant and in the
neighbouring villages there was great confusion for
two clays. The populace threatened to pillage the
ve..sels laden with corn, but they were prevented by
the Magistrates. Similar scenes have taken piece at
the Hague.
