Capt. TUCHer, of the Royal Navy, who is sew
ciated in the new mission to Africa, for the purprisi
of discovery and improvement, is, it is 5,41, sp.
pointed to the spacial charge of examining the
rior of the river Congo ; this investigation is to be
executed by means of steam-boats, which are Mt
specially in course of outfit, to be sent out in Sir J.
YEWS squadron.
It is expected that Sir J. YKO will sail for the coast
of Mica, about the close of October, having' his
broad pendent on bawd the inconstant trTO, with
a considerable number of small cruiters to ehlee the
trespassers in the Slave Trade into the small creeks
and inlets. •

barkation. After having incl►ected the Belferprito,
he expressed a wish to visit the Superb; and on hit
approach to that vessel, Admiral glomAat paid bit
imperial honours, and ordered the yards to be
manned. On his retorn to the Bellerophon, he re.
ceived the same distinctions, by order of the Ad.
mire! ; and in consequence Captain Maintse
treated him as an Emperor, until t:-.e arrival of Lord
KEITH with the final orders of Government.

Advices were received yesterdrty from Newcastle,
which state that the refractory seamen in that gustier
still cont:nue their tumultuous proceedings. Different
meetings had been held upon the sands, but nothin;
of a definitive nature had been arranged with them:
an offer had been made to allow 41. per voptge, but
this they rejected, and persisted in their former de•
mends, of which they would abate nothing. Whether
their pretensions will be listened to remains to bs
seen, b a at present all is uproar and confusion.
A strong body of British troops has marched into
Calais, 6000 more are expected:
We have n private letter from asver, which stela
that from one of three vessels just arrived from
France, and bringing no particular news, Mr. J. A.
Pnirrir had landed and set off for London. This
Gentleman, it will be recollected, was one of the
companions of the duellists from the Sister Country,
and it is stated tl.at the result of his mission to
France isas been the complete arrangement of :ht
differences between Mr. PEEL and Sir CRAP LFS
TON on the bite side, and Messrs. O'CoNNELL ant
LIDW►LL on the other.
