the quicksilver is found in five different
parts of it, at a fmall dAlance from each
other, in fraia of earth nearly two feet
thick eight or nine pounds weight have,
been collected: il appears in fmall globes.
Ne further learn, that orders were ifned
at Columbo, prohibiting the cutting OF
timberin the comPany's ioreifs, without
authority for that purpoie.
A eriyate letter from Bombay informs
US, thar upwards of 100000 ID. weight
of cannamon were TO be fhipred from
: CoIumbo this year, the produce of the
Canadian territories, and that a greater
quantity was expected next iesfon, in
choiequenee of the pronings, which at

A further proof Of the extreme caution
ufed by the French Government in admit
ting any direct commercial intercouife
with this country, is afforded by the fol-
lowing fact. The American veilel So
phis, cap, Smith, is arrived at Whitby.

TIE Monigeur denies that there exits

who would expect that il hould be avow-

.naparte's egyptian expedition fhews lis
fentiments as ftrengly at leaR as the para
graph in the Moniteur can be fuppofed to
do. If, however, France wilhes to protect
the independence of Turkey, it is natural

French influence will quickly be recalled

dereood TO renounce all conquefs and all
fchemes OF foreign encroachmsnts, Bona
parte has received a new light. 1t is NOT
for the happinefs or for the liberty of
F;ance to have extended her territory as
fhe has done by the revolutionary wars.
She has made an empire not a republic /;
and bartered internal freedom Cor an emp
ty name. Theie bad politics, the end OF
which is mitchell, are not yet out of ia
fhion in France. Bonaparte, before he.
went to Egypt, had fixed his eyes on
Turkey as a fubje6t for revolutionary
experiment. We have now under our
eye Beck of Travels, written by a
countryman of Bonapafte, a Corfcan,
named Stephanopoli, who declares thai
he was fent on purpofe to the Morea by
Bonaparte, to reconnoitre and prepare
the elements of revolution in that quarter.
The book is a foolilh one, to be lure,
and the fpies fent, egregrious idiots; but
the man expressly declares that he was
icnt from the army of Italy by Bonaparte
on an Apofolic milton of this kind, and
ifhe tells faliehood, his book deierves
paragraph as much as any thing that
has hitherto excited the refentment of the
Moniteur. IF Bonaparte, however, has
changed his opinion, and really wifhes
to keep peace in Europe, we are very
glad to hear it. Sure we are that the
French nation can have nos.juf motive in
going to war, whatever inifer views Its
Rulers may have.
