We have been favoured with Dublin pa
pers to the 25th of November their con-
tents are almost exclusively occupied in the
trial of Doctor Sheridan, gentleman of dis
tinction in Irish politics. The trial was on,
an indictment for what the crown lawyers
were pleased to call seditious meeting, of
which DIR. Sheridan was chairman. This
was meeting ofIrish Catholics. and others,
some time last summer, for petitioning the
Prince Regent for the repeal of certain pc
nal laws, and other objects, connected with
the great Catholic question. The result of
this trial is given in an extract from the
Dublin Evening Post the verdict of the
jury appears to have afforded great salts
faction, and fromth arguments, which are
given at great length, to us appears, an ho
nest, independent verdict.-Ledger.

BERMUDA, Jan. 18.
The expediency of permitting American
vessels to export British manufactured arti-
Giles, or West India produce, from tho ports
OF St. Andrews, st. Johns, New-Brunswick
and Halifax in Nova Scotia, to the United
States, and to import into those provinces
certain productions of the United States, ha-
wing been acceded to by the board of trade,
we have reason to hope similar indulgences
will be extended to this colony, by which
the evident good purposes o. the measure
In counteractmg the American scheme OF
non-intercourse may be considerably i'm
proved.

LONDON, November %. |
Paris papers have arrived to the 18th
They contain but one article of intelligence,
the return of Bonaparte on the evening of
the 10th to St. Cloud. He returned sudden
ly by the way of Liege and Namur, after
having suffered it to be believed that he
meant to extend his tour along the Rhine,
and visit Mentz and Strasburgh, where pre-.
parations had been made for his reception.
This is not an unusual practice with him
he never suffers the precise period of his
departure or return to be generally known.

A mail from Heligoland arrived this MORN

At special assembly of the Corporation
OF Liverpool, on Monday last, it was agreed
that petition should be presented to the
prince regent in council, praying his royal
hlghness to take into consideration the in
.rcased price ofgrain, and to cause the dis
tllation OF spirits from. corn to be suspended,
until the sense OF parliament can be taken
thereon, trusting that such measure would
have the effect of reducing the prices
The members of parliament for the city
have been requested to present the petition.
The following are latest particulars of the
state of His Majesty's health:
His Majesty's indsposition continues to
prevail without any material alteration
His nights are frequently restless, and de-
bility is the natural consequence. We un-
derstand that an express was sent off to the
seat of DIR. John Willis, in Lincolnshire, re-
questing the attendance of that eminent pro-
fessional gentleman upon his Majesty, in
concert with his brother, DR.. K. Willis, *

FROM CORUN.V4.
Yesterday arrived here two gentlemen
who came passengers in the Schooner Regu-
lator, which has put into Barnstdble in dis
tire IS, ~ days from Corunna. We are in
formed that 10 battle had recently occurred
between the French and combined armies
No movements had been reported, as excl
ing alarm or interest. The British army
was SAID to be about hundred miles from
Lisbon-we presume, where we last heard
from them. The French had taken pos
session OF the little SEAPORT town Gihon, in
Asturias, Spain.
