• Bit Majesty's store-ship Hymns, commanded by
R. L. flicks, Master, R. N. was to sail from St.
Helena for the Cape of Good Rope, about Galt July.

Several new frigates on a large scale, are now build.
ing at the several dock-jards . The Americens have
led the way in constructing ships of war of that class,
Which have been found to be more useful, and nearly
as formidable as some ships of the line.
The Independence and Fortitude Increased, fro%
St. Thomas's and St. Kitt's, with cargoes of West
India produce, have passed by Portsmouth for the
Riser, having landed several passengers. They re-
port that Colonel MACDONALD, who had shortly
joined the Independent forces from England, had
been massacred, with many other British Officers,
through mistake, by a body of Indians: they hap-
pened to fall in with the British Officers whilst they
were at dinner, end supposing them to be Spaniards,
they attacked them with such savage ferocity, that
they were all either killed instantly, or died of their
wounds. The Independent naval force, under Ad-
miral BRIoN, is of so formidable a description, that
the Spanish ships of war (though often in eight of each
other) dare not attempt a meeting. The Independent
fleet consists of 20 were-rigged vessels, and es-
pected a.further reinforcement, when, it was under-
stood, they would instantly commence offensive
operations.
Bitted of a letter from the Agent to LLOYD% at
the Cape of Good lope, dated June 18 :—" The
Dick, HARRISON, -from Mathis, arrived here The

Majesty's ship Minden arrived at Madras from Cey-
lon, for troops, for the relief of Gen. BROWNRIGG
end his Staff, who were surrounded in a mud fort in
the interior, and secluded from all communication by
the Candians. A detachment of the 88.1 Regiment
bad been cut to pieces. Captain TALROT, of the
Loril Cathcart, arrived on the sth inst., reports that
his Majesty's ship Minden had passed Point de Galls
for Colombo. *ith troops for the relief of General

Baron STURMER, who was appointed Austrian
Commissioner as St Helena only for two years, being
recalled in order to proceed in a diplomatic situation
to the United States of America, left the island on
the Ilth of July, and arrived hero with the Baroness
STURMER on the 29th inst. on board of lb. Bon. Zest
India Company's ship Northuasberleod. The oasis*
being now advanced, be will, in all pribabnivy, s`s•
main in Englind till the spring. The Freesia Cod-
missoner at St. Helena now acts in the double cape•
city of French and Austrian, which, it is said, is net
at all pleasing to the Ea-Emperot, as he thwobir aes.
siders himself neglected and forgotten by tho Esprit°,
of A VSTRIA.
Rear-Admiral Sir T. F. FnantAwit.i, 1.C.8. (was
had been some time residing in the neighbourhood of
Rome), has hoisted his flag in the Mediterreliese,
and succeeded Rear-Admiral Sir C. Panama, K.C.B.
'who is on his passage home, in the Albion, 74, Capt.
COODE.
The Leveret, 18, Capt. R. SLUMMY, will sail on
Wednesday from Portsmouth, for St. Helena. The
Carron, 20, Capt. FURNEAUX, will sail shortly for
the East India station. Major-General Darturto,
who has been appointed to succeed General HAM., at
Governor of the Mauritius, will take his passer in
the Carron.
America appears to bare soffered from intense heat
equally as Europe. A New York Paper, of the 14th
of July, says, “Thethermometer, during the last two
days, has indicated a greater degree of heat than has
been experienced, we believe, for the lut eight or
ten years. At three o'clock on Saturday, the mer-
cury' stood in the shade at 93, sod at the same hour
on Sunday at 96."
According to letters from Benconlen to the 23d
of March, that place has been visited by an earth-
quake. The shock was felt on the 18th of March,
not only on shore, but to a considerable distance at
les • but we do not learn that any considerable mis-
chief was occasioned by this sadden and awful vi-
citation.
In Russia, military promotion commences with the
birth of any son of the Imperial Family. The pre-
sent Emperor had the good fortune to be born a
Field.blarshai, and the younger son of the Grand
Duke Nicticit.s., who is about three months old, has
already been appointed Colonel of a regiment of
hussars. In the Petersburgh Gazette of that year,
the birth of the Grand Doke ALEXANDER, now the
Emperor, is thus announced, This morning, her
Majesty the Empress, was safely delivered of a
Field.Marshat!'
The prominent forth-coming novelty in the early
part of the season at Drury-lane Theatre, will be a
now Tragedy, front the pea of Mr. WALTER SCOTT.

The fever maintains Its ground here among the
poorer classes ; the dysentery among all. The fa.
talky of fever is not increased unless when com-
bined with dysentery. We believe that,' within this
week, dysentery has not proved fatal in any one in.
vteactomong the more comfortable portions of so-
ciety, although even there its visit has been attended
with striking severity. Among the poor the march of
dysentery has la several instances been, marked with
death. It may be worth while to pause upon this
' circumstance, sod to attempt an explanation. We
prettied to no medical skill, and have to thank Pro.
, videuco for want of experience.--Still, we could no-
tice two obvious causes of difference between the
rich and the poor ; choice of food, and choice of ad-
vice. In few complaints is the quality of rood so
material u in dysentery; butt alesl the pour, ever
circumscribed, have here but little range of sa.
lection. With regard to advice, we strongly
incline to think that the poor are chiefly gold-
ed by the recommendations, or, .as they are
called, too often and too fatally in error, the
cures of volunteer practitioners, benevolent in truth,
but in fact utterly uninformed about the natoreeither
11
of the complaint or of the proposed remedies. Mis-
guided benevolence! How much more rational to
provide the poor with medical advice and 'suitable
diet !.--Wo shall not amplify, although the samsas,
and the objects are almost at our doors. We cannot,
however, dismiss the subject without beseeching
those unlicensed prescribers, of whoa, philanthropy,
we do pot dumb!, And *bon. by' that very philan-
thropy we goktyra, to ponder well upon the ••• of
astringents, especially in the early stages of the
