More boats have likewfe been loft but
that is chiefly owing TO Whiiky, as have

attention to the currents of the river, and
carefully to avoid fafening to high banks.
Where willows grow, OH young cotton

On the fubjea of the Convention lately
concluded between the Courts of Ruflia
and Great Britain, the Editor of the Morn
ing Poit makes the following ingenius OBJ
iervations -
sc The Convention appears to have
been officially publiihed in the MoNIrEuR,
as iet off againf the Convention, for
furrendering Cairo. The French have, I'M
doubtediy, more caufe of JOY in the one,
than of regret at the other. The Con-
venrion OF St. Petersburg more, much
more, than repays them for the lois of
Egypt.
" This Convention divides itfelf into
two parts the one afcertains wha, arti-
cles are contrband of war; the other de-
termines the right of iearch.
