The trials of the tra- verse cases, and others out or. bail, wvill commence to.day.

[Advertisement. r-The late contrary winds, which have continued now several days, have reduced the vendible stock of coals-ihiia prime article of necessity-to tctrivial quantitv of seven or eigbt cargoes. It is unnecessary to say, that the mnerchants have turned this scarcity to their profit, while it will be proper to add, that the public in general, manufacturers, and private families in particular, who lay in their coals about this time, feel seriously inconvenienced. But thses disasters in the coal-trade must be expected constantly to recur, till some public depot be established where the article can be stored In the summer-season, and where ie colliers wiU only hate te arrive, unload, and proceed for fresh cargoes, as dose at several ports in this kingdom. W1'e therefore look to the proposed Ber- mondsey Dock for colliers and for a depot for coals with treat satis- faction, conceiring it to be the onlymeans that can secre this neces- sary of life from those casualties and incoonveniesces whic rsave been so loug and so grievously felt by the public.

" We are much gratified in being able to congratulate the coun- try on the intelligence which has been just received from the inte. rior, tlyough a respectable gentleman of this parish, wholeft Argyle about an hour since, and states that there are at present, only six or eight of the Argyle, one or two of the Knockalva, and four of the Golden Grove negroes out, the latter of which are expected to sur. render themselves to.night. Colonel Campbell, of theW'estern In- terior, proposes to discharge the detachment of the St. James's Ali- litia, now stationed at Alontpclier, to-night or to-morrow morning, unless any thing not now contemplated occurs; and thinks it is likely that the day after, the greater part of the militia in that district m.iy be allowed to return to their homes, the arrival of the Matroones being expected to.night. WVe are happy also to itate, there is not the snmallest foundation for attacbing any thing like suspicion to the ne- groes belonging to Mr. C. RI Ellis, in that quarter; on the contrary, their conduct has been meritorious, and a fewv of them have been employed in pursuit of the runaways. We have every hope, therefore, that an insurrection which has, from its commencement and duration, borne so formidable an appearance, is about to be crushed without the loss of maay of the negroas' lives, and none of the whate population; but wve look with4sorror and commiseration on what is to follow in the trial and consequent punishment of the unhsppy victims of the hypocrisy, cant, and cupidity of these self- serving moralists, Wilberforce, Buxton, Cropper, &c. i' It gives us great pleasure to mention, that 203 men, of the 92d regiment, under the command of Captain Donaldson, and a small hody of artillery, who were stationed ;n the b,arracl;s of this city, were embarkcl yesterday on b.trtl the lIsar, 46, Captain G.

Political Speculation.
The Times, 1824-04-17T00:00:00

WVe copy the following curious paragraph from a French evenirng paper of WVdtnesday, in which it appears in the form ot a communicatioA from Vienna. It will be evident, oii the slightest inspection, that it assumes as true, facts of which we have no proof, and ascribes to our Ministers magnificent designs and projects, of which it is most pro- bable they are entirely innocent. WPe have yet to learn that Egyp! lies between Russia and Hindostan,and that the Enmperor Alexander, if once in possession of Constanti- nople, would have to ask permission of a western Pacha to advance to the Ganges:- iEngrland, present in aU[ the Cabinets ef Europe, had prepared a long time ago the revolution of which Egypt is now the theatre. This great power, which scatters gold with unsparing hand, had made, it is said, a secret treaty two years ago, with the Viceroy of Egypt. It is even pretended, that one of the articles of this treaty purports that the Prince who governs that country should take the title of King, and, supported by the subsidies of England, should makc Egypt an insurmountable bar- rier agaisiat the ambitious projects of the Russian Cabinet on the Eonglish ossessions in Hindostan; for it migbt happen that the fonnidable power of Russia, if put in possession of the capital of the Crescent, might direct its forces towards the Ganges, and attack the British Empire in the centre of its power. We might men- tion, in support of these assertions, the fitting-out of Turkish frigates in the Thames two years ago, and the providing of them with all the munitions of war. AHi the Englisb journais at that time stated that these arimaments were making for the use of the Vicro of E vt. I" Theo proc!amation of Independence of that country, which has arrived on the eve of commenctng a fourth campaign against tht Greeks, is the most complete triumph of English policy in Dasope; forat asingle stroke it levels with the dust Ottomanpride,counter- acts the plans of Russia, and gives a victory tooppressed humanity. Never did the Cabinet of St. James's conceive a greater plan, or one which at the same time conciliates so many interests." POLITICAL SPECULATION.
