FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS, the farmer to the

18th, the latter to the ntl, have been received this
morning, Extracts from which will bo found in a
subsequcut column.

The following Article appeared in the Morning
Papers this day, and we need only refer to the
Statesman of the 2lst instant, fur the opinion wo
then expressed on the subject ; for we did conceive
the report of the speech to be the act of some
officious friend of Mr. %MUFF Wool), as we
believe no such speech was magi: before the break-
ing up of the Meeting. ,
"Mr. Sheriff WOOD havingstated at the dinner,
at the City of London Tavern, on Thursday last,
(according to the report in several of the Morning
Papers) that the two Civil Magistrates, whom
be met in Piccadilly, on .Sunday, the Bth
slant, thought proper to say, 64 that if the
people did not disperse, they would order the
troops to charge; but that threat was not
executed, on account of his promptly telling
those Magistrates, that if they attempted to
hue such an order, and any death ensued, he
would indict them for murder," we think it in.
cumbent on us, as the two Magistrates alluded
to, positively to assert, that no such conversation
passed between the Sheriff and ourselves; that
we never did entertain or express an intention of
ordering the troops to charge ; and that Mr.
'Sheriff Wools never did use to us, or in our hear.
lug, the threatening language stated to have been
promptly used by him in reply ; and further, that
his interference did not in any respect prevent any
measure which the Magistrates, assembled at the
Gloucester Coffee.house, thought proper to adopt,
from being enforced and carried into complete ex.
ecutiott.

the Admiralty by Mr. YGltli
The principal part of the Dutch territory,
which has just been united to France,• is to form
a department, under the name of the Department
del douches de Rhin, of which Bois le Due will
be • the capital. The remainder, which consists
chiefly of the isles of Zeal ind, will be united to
the departments of the :.)eats Nethes.
The East India ship Windham was in com-
pany with the Charlton and United Kingdom
when they were raptured ; there is good reason
now to suppose, that the Windham was also cap_
tared, but re.taken by the British blockading
squadron.
• Yesterday the di.patches for China, by the Su.
~at Castle, illnwick Castle, Canton, Bombay,
and Royal George, were finally closed at the
East India Rouse, and delivered to their respective
Pursers.

public funeral.
The Morning Papers have been imposed upon,
hi stating that William Maddox had been re-
prieved, as he was executed this morning agreeable
to his sentence.
SLAVE TaADE.—It appears by the Papers laid
before Parliament, relative to the abolition of the
Slave Trade, that there were strong objections on
the part of the Portuguese Government, in 1807
and 1808, to the abolition of the Trade ; but in
a memorandum from the Foreign Offieo, dated
March 26) 1510, it is stated, that " An article
upon the subject of the Slave Trade has been in.
serted in the Brazil Treaty, now under considera-
tion, stipulating for the adoption, on the part of
the Prince Regent, of measures for effecting a
gradual abolition of that Trade throughout his
dominions."—No step relative to this subject ap-
pears to have been taken by the Spanish or Swedish
Governments; to the latter there ducs not appear
to have been any communication.

out fear of being accused of exaggeration, that
since the year 1792 the public never enjoyed so

Westphalia) wisliing to conform to the views of

do not voluntarily retire from Croatia.
VIENNA, Aram 1.-rlntelligence has been re.
ceived, that the Turks4having made en inroad into
Illyrian Croatia, from Bosnia, attacked the army
of Marshal Marinoitt, on the frontiers. They
plundered all the plac'es into which'-they were able
to penetrate, and curled their cruelty to the
length of murileling even the sick in the French
hospitals. This 'intelligence immediately caused,:
the price of cottons to rise as high as 90 fforinso•

which are likely to be adopted, in order to obviate'
similar hostilities for the future, should .intercept•l
all communication, and obstruct the importation ,I
of cotton. ((Royal Amsterdam Courant of
