The motion of Mr. Mtn for Papers relative to
Ceylon, Mauritius, the Cape of Good [lope, Malta,
and the lonian Isles, rennet fail to hate mad. a sen-
sible impression nn the hoes., as it meat make on
the envoi'', since it will open to es the source of
an edicts', economy, if there be an honest desire of
retrenchment in the professions of Ministry. Whether
it is that for fire years it 'lid not occur in them to en.
quire into the management of the revenues of those
Settlements, •r that they kept them in their present
state for the sake of paironsee, we cannot say; but
it is obvious, that as their former masters drew from
them a considerable surplus after defrayinft all their
internal 'Nonce, it is somewhat too such to learn
that they cost es many hundreds of thousands per
annum to defend.

Ketract of • letter dated H h, April 17,
11/119:—" We have been in daily expectation of see.
leg Sir More Pornass here in the Iphigeoia frigate,
which sailed from Jamaica ten days previous to the
brig of war Waver, arrived here • week since; welts..
learnt to-day, that be tad been four days at Bahia
lion& (a port to the westward of this), taking ob-
'mations. To-day the Fame transport, with 400
men, came in here from Jamaica ; at the sight of the
Officers on the Royal (assay, all the Spaniards swore
it wee ell ever with them. These troops, with others
on board of two more transports, are, we are told,
bound to Nassau and New Providence, and the pre-
text for coming in here, was to take • pilot ; a thing
known before, that • vessel should go through
the Gulf to Providence. Twelve officers hare been
parading the streets all day.—(Morning Chronicle.)
14 We are sorry to state, that the stews from the
Cape of Good Hope is of the most serious descrip-
tion. Letters and Papers to the end of March have
barn received. All the inhabitants, capable of bear-
ing arms, were ordered to join the military force."

The King of PRUSSIA has had an untoward acci-
dent. Diverting himself in descending • Russian
mountain (a pastime well known in Paris), his Ma-
jesty's sledge was overturned, by which he bruised
his face, and broke the lower part of the bridge of
his nose.—The broken pieces of bone, however,
were immediately eatracted. and no serious conse-
quences were anticipated from the circumstance.

Accounts from Ireland represent the stale of that
country to be in the most distressed condition. Our
informant, u commercial traveller of considerable

trict he travelled, which was very considerable, •
commercisi man wet scarcely ever to he met with ;
and that be was induced, hom all circumstances, to
give up the idea of doing any other husiness than
merely settling his accounts, although he had been in

It seems from a Correspondent In the Reeding

thing will serve that can be made to look like truth.
As we have, however, another sort of predilection
in opposition to his ,month-faced inference, we de.
dere upon numerous suthntities, besides the Report
which appeared in our columns, that Mr. Patient

he appealed to the pointed record of those principles

loathsome Wretch against an unsullied hero of the
Bri•ish navy, although the falsehood of the Petition
anal the infamy of th• Petitioner had been clearly re-
posed." As to the compliment to *As F. Bumpers.,
he must put up with it, inferior (as he mast of course

mighty Burgher of Rearling—great people will he a

Assizes, evidence was given to prove the les,stris (an
epotbecary's wife) a lunatic; and, autos pt other
things, It was deposed that she had swept a quantity
of pots, lotions, potions, kc. into the street, as

" whether sweeping physic into the street be any
proof of insanity." " Tree, my Lord," replied
the Counsel, " bat sweeping the puts away cer-
