which we have made extracts. Tie latter have some
statements on the news of hostilitie. that have token
place between Persia and Turkey. They seem, how-
ever, to be of such a nature, that it is probable they
will not be 'invaded by any important consequences.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE was expected to return
to the palace of Ilerenhausen, yesterday, from Cassel.
His Royal Highness will doubtless transact the bosi.
ness of his Government, as speedily as possible, but
the States of Hanover are sitting, and it is thooaht,

A series of Birbieloes Papers, from Nov. 8 to Dec.
the c2d. have been received.. His Excellency Lord
Costastrateat had returned to Barbadoes, from his
visit to the neighbouring islands. It appears that
some of the sessels whirl, drove out to sea, during
she late hurricane, from Martinique and other islands,
had either foundered or were wrecked. The former
fate, it was feared. had happened to many of those
which left Dominica, and had not since been heard of.
CALCUTTA•—According to the Dkbars of the last
year, RUNJUT Strom had withdrawn the Seik army
from Molten. Heavy falls of hail in the wheat coun-
tries had destroyed the crop, and rendered all kinds
of grain excessively dear. Prince KADIRIIN had
marched from Candahar towards Cabot, and King
ISIAitatOOD SHAH had proceeded from Peshawar in
the same direction. ADORER KIIAWN wad Still occu-
pied with the siege of Madhooragporah, and Holman
bad promised his rebel Chieftain Gueroon'Knam,
that be, or the mutinous army, should not be attacked
by &INDIA'S troops under ANDAJEL.
We are happy to learn, by letters received from the
Mauritius, that Dr. HIGH had reported, that the Cin-
namon-tree was thriving on the island.
We have been informed that a legion, to consist of
cavalry and infantry. is to be raised at Cuttack fur
rovincial duties, and is to be under the charge of
Capt. SIMON FRASER) who lately commanded the
Javanese corps.
To make the Revenue of a country exceed the Ex-
penditure is the desideratum in Finance. The same
applies to private life; but the Minister most resod
to Taxation, to accomplish the means, whilst the
private man has only to court a smite from Fortune,
who hawing now One Hundred Capitals to disperse
Imoug her favourites, she may by the mere turn of a
%heel, on the 4th of March, confer upon him One
or Two of the Three Prizes of £30,000 in the pre-
lent Lottery, and thus establish the Ways and Means
for ever, in Sterling Money.
