the flake of Montrose packet and ourselves would
have been in a very bad way. The direction In
which the gale blew from N. N. W. veering to N. W.,
West, W. S. W., S. W., SOeth, and ending at S. E.
mutt, in my opinion, have been much more severe with
the Jamaica convoy, which sailed some days previous,
*and should they have encountered it in the Gulph,
which I make no doubt of, the consequence from a
barrow navigation must be great."
The Earl of MARCH has embarked for the Nether-
lands, having been appointed Aid-de-Camp to the
Prince Of °RAMA:.
. Mr. CANNING had an able co-adjutor in Lord La-
.itsoti GOWZR,.in his negotiation with the Princess
of WALE,S. It is known that these two distinguished
persons atone had her ear on this subject, and that
her determination was not communicated either to
Princess CHARLOTTE or any other person, till after
the letter was delivered to the Earl of LIVERPOOL.

t was reported yesterday in the higher circles,
that the mission of the Dakede BERRI to this country
was occasioned by a strong remonstrance made by the
Marshals of' France, against thee cession of the Ne-
therlands to the House of Orange, which they are
stated to denounce as an unwarrantable degradation
of France.
. It is said that no further reduction of the military
establishments will be permitted to take place, until
the Congress is finally closed. This is melancholy
news to the Stockholder, as well as to the country at
large.

IV LORD CASTLEREAGH.
MY Loan,—Whilst the nation, from the throne
to the cottage, with one simultaneous voice, is ex-
pressing its full tide of joy, and every altar is offer-
ing up prayers of gratitude to the Almighty Disposer
of Events, at this happy termination of a sanguinary
and destructive war, it cannot escape the observation,
11
nor fail of exciting the regret, of every 'reflecting
mind, that a large portion of our fellow...objects,
the Catholics of England -and Ireland, arepsecessa-
My precluded from partaking of this cup:it play-
sure to that full extent which their loolty 'and see!
entitle them to ; and this alloy to their happiness will
proceed from a consciousness that elute to them
will not be followed by that entire participation in
the blessings of the British Constitution, for which
they, in common with other British subjects, have
fought and bled to maintain.
To repeat those cogent and irresistible arguments,
embracing the measure of Catholic Emandipation,
that have so often been adduced by the ablest
writers, and sustained by the wisest statesmen the
Empire bath produced, would be superfluous; and
all that every well-wisher to his country can best do,
in reference to this subject, is to endeavour to keep
alive that sacred flame which would allow of liberty
of consicence, without abridgment of civil rights—
privileges which are dear to all men, and that all are
alike desirous of enjoying.
i And now that Addresses are coming forth from
almost every city and village in the empire in favour
of humanity and African independence, another its.
cidental reflection naturally presents itself, creative
of a rational hope, that our enlightened country-
men will, ere long, be prepared to make similar
appeals in the cause of Catholic liberty—and that
1 those who are so justly adverse to the enslaving the
bodies of Africans, will, by a parity of conduct,
and consistently with the spirit of Christianity, no
longer remain the advocates of laws which would
enslave the consciences of Britons.
I would also fain holm my Lord, that those gen-
tlemen who annually meet to commemorate that

By an official note from the Swedish Consul at
Algiers, dated 4th of July, it appears, that the Dey
had liberated all the detained Swedish ships, and de-
clared that he has no wish to go to war with Swe.
din ; his only object being to have security for the
&nivel of the present ships, which, according to
certain information' had reached Malaga on the 7th
of July, and sailed on the 9th for their destination.

ports employed during the late war, the following

It was naturally inferred on reading this notice,
that the ships were wanted to convey troops to be
employed against America. Some professing to have
private information, say, hover improbable the
thing may appear, that these transports are likely to

At Magdalen Hill Fair, Winchester, on Tuesday
last, there was a numerous show of French cows,
which fetched from 81. to 121. and many of them
remained unsold. There was a fair show of horses,l
Which had a dull sale, and a very declining price.
Cheese was full 14s. per cwt. cheaper than at last
year's fair. The fair was infested more than usual
by pickpockets; a French dealer in cows had his 1
ppcket-book stolen, containing notes to the amount
of 541. and many other robberies were committed.
The Gentlemen of the Grand Jury of the Coenty
of Bedford, in consequence of the backwardness of
the crops this season, have come to a determination
to suspend shooting until the 14th of September.
