WAR IN THE PERSIAN GULF.
From the various accounts which we find
under different dates in Calcutta papers, we
have made the following narrative OF the
British expedition against the Arabian pi.
rates in the Persian Gulf. A British and
East India Company's squadron sailed from
Bombay under command Of Maj. Gen, Sir
VIM, Grant keir, having on board two regi-
ments of foot, one native regiment. and
small attachments of other troops. They
arrived at Kishma, their place of rendez.
yous in the Persian Gulf, about the middle
of November last. On The Cd of Decem.
Der, the expedition proceeded against Ros
ul Khymah were about 2ooo OF the pirates
were assembled. They carried on an active
sege against the place for six days. The
Arab princes made stout and gala ut resis-
lance, buthnding themselves hard pressed,
they on the night OF the 9Th evacuated the
place, and retired to the interior. having
lost during the seige $50 killed and GOO
wounded. l8 OF 20 men were taken by the
British and Is large Bows and loo smaller
vessels were found inShe harbor. On the
llth one OF the most powerful of the Arab
chiefs. came in and surrendered himself.

DAYS, in which the Arabs suffered great loss,
the town surrendered men with Hes

show that the war was brought to close.

Ibelieve it is in my power to throw ray
Of cheerfuness through the deep gloom and
dependency which surround and afilict our
people. OF this dreadful. discriminating
fever, new cases are diminishing and the
unconquerable malignancy it at first assum-
ed, IS beginning, (if am correctly inform
ed) to yield to the skills of our intrepid and
experienced physicians. Upon the whole,
the prospect before US, is more consolatory
than it was four days past, and let us then
flatter ourselves with the hope, that it may
please God this day, or this hour, to soften a
chas,isement which requires the full strength
OF our resignation and tortitude to support.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The ship Hercules, Captain Cobb, arrived
Yesterday forenoon from Liverpool, having
left there on Sunday the 18th August. BY
this arrival we have received from our cor
respondents London papers to the 10th, Ii
verpool TO the 18th, and file of London
shipping lists to the 9th OF August, all inclu-
siYe.
The intelligence from Germany, Naples,
Sicily and Spain, is Of an interesting charac-
ter, and will be found in following extracts.
In England. the affairs OF the queen CONT
nued to excite the greatest interest, which
increased with the approaching 9TH OF Au-
gust, the day fixed upon by parliament tor
commencing its proceedings against her.
Two documents, says London paper OF
the 10th Of August, of considerable interest
at the present moment, have just appeared
from the pen Of the patriotic and able senator,
Lord John Russell. The former is in the
form of letter to Mr. Wilberforce, calling
Tor his interference 10 obtain resolution OF
the assembly OF which he is member Of
great influence, to petition the king to di-
rect his ministers to withdraw the bill fpains
and penalties against the queen from the con-
sideration of parliament; and the other is a
form of petition to the king, showing the
hardship of the queens situation-the dan
ger TO the stability of his throne, and the
mischie that must result to his people from
persistlng in this bill. 'By single word,
your majesty" says this enlightened noble
man. "may dispel the impending storm. We
therefore humbly pray your majesty, that
you will be pleased TO issue orders to pro-
rogue the parliament, and thus put an end to
all proceedings at present pending against
the queen"
On Thursday week court of Common
Council was held at the GuldLall, London,
Tor the special purpose OF taking into cons-
deraton the refusal of the House of Lords 10
receive the petition of the last court, against
the bill of pains and penalties, now pending
against the Queen, at which it was unani-
mousy resolved that some immediate pro-
ceedings should be adopted in reference to
it; and it was afterwards resolved by large
majority, that petition should be presented
to the House of Lords, reiterating the prayer
O: the former petition, and demonstrating "a
gainst its rejection.
An address has been received by her Ma
jesty from private regiment ofmllitia.
The Queen has taken Grafton House, in
Piccadily The arrangement has been
made with the concurrence of ministers, as
an accommodation during the proceedings in
Parliament.
The houses in Cotton Garden, al the rear
of the western angle of the House of Lords,
have been emptied OF their tenants to make
room for the Italian witnesses, The differ
emf avenues are to be fenced up, and guard
stationed there.

On Sunday last, the 18th inst. about O.
clock in the morning, several of my work
men were on the banks Of the Hudson, and
near my house, when they observed man
haul up boat in cove, a little to the west
OF them. He ran towards them, appeared
wild, and passed with great strength of bo-
dy. From what they say, he was certainly
in state of mental arrangement. He was
dressed in sailors habit, and appeared to
be about feet inches high. On going TO
the cove, they found an elegant pleasure
boat, with $ Resale painted in the stern,
having sails. rudder and oars, as also small
bundle Of clothes, some Of which were mark
ed s. Meanough,' a jug in which there had
been rum, and small bundle of bread and
pork. From his being so well provided, one
would suppose that he was not mad but
may have been guilty of some crime, and
then running from justice. He must have
come from New York, as the wind was
strong from the south for the three preceding
days and the boat has also the appearance
oil one from that quarter. One of my people
has her in safe keeping till the owner comes
to make his claim. Your giving publicity to

that a man and woman came alongside OF his

FROM THE NATIONAL ADVOCATE.
THE CRITICAL OBSERVER.

He that hath a mouth of his own
should never bid others blow" said my
uncle Bartholomew to me one day, as
be observed me directing another to do
that which | should have done myself.
Now, ray uncle was pretty shrewd old
chap, and possessed good fund of such
old sayings as the above, which he never
failed repeating to me when they were
necessary; and as often had cause to
regret my not following them, they made
very deep impression upon my mind,
end were of immense benefit to me in
the long run-afording me fine critic
rion by which to mark the proceedings
of my acquaintance.
There was of my companions young
fellow called JEREMY MEAsuREwELL.
Now, Jerry was fine jovial young man,
Of whom | was extremely fond; he was,
when l left my native village, sober,
industrious upright youth, and had, by
his perseverance and frugality, gathered
together considerable sum of money,
which he invested in merchandise, and
was doing very handsomely--he like
wise married plain, tidy young dam
sci, by whom lie had three fine chill
tren. Such was Jerry whenl went away !;
but, alas on my return ten years after,
the scene was changed. Jerry had fallen
into the practice of bidding others
blow" AS lis business increased
instead of doubling his attention, he
employed a clerk. In short time
he entrusted his affairs entirely to his
management and as idleness begets
bad practices, he indulged himself ra-
Their often with .jTieadty glass, and
gave himself up completely to .Ji'OAck
ing And what was the consequence !?
Why, his business was neglected---debts
Observation-Disclosures became clamor-
ons--he became bankrupt--died ayaga-
bond---lcaving his wife and children de-
pendent upon public charity for subsist-
cnce? All this arose simply from his
. bidding others blosv willie he had a
mouth ofAs o7va."
Notso was twith TIMOTHY TuRNwELL
Tim was about the same age with Jerry +;
they were pley-mates in their youth, and
as they grew older they cherished the
friendship ofthoiryounger days. limo
thy was wheelright--was careful and
thrifty, though not niggardly; he would
take an occasional glass with an &C
quaintance, but would not neglect his
business in order to have .G'oHc! he
was generous to the poor, and punctual
to his engagements with the rich--but,
above all, he " never bid others blow !"
And what was the result of this prudent
conduct? 1t was this: On my return, |
found him in easy circumstances he
was made justice Of the peace--was
married, and had family of thriving
happy children---and was beloved and
respected by the whole village. Such
was the good effect arising from merely
following the dictates of the old proverb
&c nevcrbid others blow, when you have
mouth ofyour own!'
Merchants and Mechanics remem-
Der the saying Of old Bartholomew ! and
never entrust the management of your
affairs to an agent, when you can attend
to them more carefully yourself!
