From London Papers.
The departure of Mr. Hubbard from New-
York for Amelia, is noticed in the London
Courier of the first September.
The same paper adds :—“ There is much
talk, and some speculation, in the American
papers, about the increasing efforts which are
making to augment the Navy of the United
States. Commodores Rogers and Decatur have
arrived at New-York—and are“ understood to
have gone there upon public business.” The
| ships of war which were ordered to be bnilt by
Congress, ate forwarding with every possible
exertion ; and, in the midst of peace, there
seems to be all the vigilance of war—Why
this activity ? Is there, to use the language of
j the American journalists themselves, “ some
j thing brewing,” of which these preparations
are only the precursors ? Will the United States
declare themselves in favor of the Insurgents,
and assist them in their projects of indepen
dence, or have any difficulties arisen respect
ing the boundary line between their possessions
1 and ours, of a nature which diplomatic interfer*
j ence cannot adjust ? These are questions
which we put, simply as the result of the intel
ligence which we have received—When we
see a country in a state of profound peace, us
f ing extraordinary diligence to refit and extend
1 its naval force, it is a natural supposition that
j emergencies are contemplated, or schemes
, maturing, which may require the application
j of that force.”
I Much of the attention of the London editors j
iis taken up with South-American affairs.—A |
' number of applications had been made to the j
! commander in chief by British officers for leave
of absence. Many of those on half-pay, it seems,
j obtained leave of absence for three years, for
1 the purpose, it was supposed, of joining the
I South-American army—lt also appears, that a
Captain of Engineers made a direct application
for leave to join the South-American army.—
The commander in chief expressed hisextreme
! surprise and displeasure that any British offi
j cer should have made such a proposal; and an
! intimation, that should such a request be re-
I peatcd, the individual would do it at his peril.
The Glasgow Chronicle says, “ It is a flatte
i ring circumstance for our manufacturers, that
the former exportation of muslin for India,
liom the Clyde, sold at such prices as to en
courage a great extention of the trade ; and
considerable sales of fancy muslins have re
ctntlv been made for that market.
Extract nj a letter from St. Helena , dated in
June last.
“ Madame Bertrand continues the same gay
creature a i - ever—She was brought to bed a
few days ago—Bonaparte paid her a lying-in
visit—She took her child in her arms and pre
sented it to the Ex-Emperor, saying, “ Sir, I
khave the pleasure of showing you a great cu-
Imdsii)—in a word, an unique—the first stran
ger that ever was allowed to approach your
Majesty in this Island, without permission
from the Governor, or an order from the Se
cretary of State.” Boney was quite pleased at
the bon mot, and laughed heartily.
LONDON, Aug. 19.
Five English soldiers being on guard at one
of the gates of Valenciennes, on the 18th of
June last, committed a theft—They were con
demned to be hung—According to the orders
of the Duke of Wellington, the whole five
were, upon the 3d instant, brought outside the
city in order to undergo their sentence—The
people followed these guilty men, imploring
the pitty of their Commander, and crying out
“ Grace, grace 1” Two were executed; but
the other three received their pardon at the
moment they were to be turned off—At this
intelligence the delight of the numerous spec
tators was extreme ; and the thanks which
they expressed to the English General were,
doubtless, less eloquent than their exclamations
of joy—Another scene equally interesting now
followed : a man, named Dubuison, an inhab
itant of Valenciennes, who, influenced by a vile
interest, had executed the two unfortunate men,
became at once the object of execration, the
populace following and pelting him with stones.
With great difficulty he reached his home ; a
rope was then affixed to the door of his house ;
and the multitude, always in extremes, wanted
to avenge their national honour, by putting to
death the individual who had consented to be
come a hangman for the sake of money—
Dubuison, justly alarmed, requested to be tak
en to the guard-house, in order that he might
escape in safety from the city at the shutting
of the gates —The miserable wretch was pro
tected by two police officers, who secured him
from every thing except the hisses and hoot
ings of the populace.
Liverpool, September 8,
The account from all parts of the country,
contain the most cheering intelligence of the
state of the crops, and the propitious weather
which the country has generally enjoyed, du
ring the last week, for ripening and seeming
the harvest—We are also glad to observe from
the same account, that the Iron, the Woollen,
the Cotton, the Leather, the Soap and the Can
dle Manufactures, are all rapidly increasing—
Every loom, every factory almost in the king- I
dom, employs’more men, or gives them high j
er pay than it did six months ago—Commerce
equally increases throughout our ports.
The harvest in this neighbourhood, has par- 1
tially commenced; and from the very fine j
warm weather we had during the last week, :
we suppose that it wili become geDeral in this j
neighbourhood and Cheshirf, in the course of !
the presort week.
We are happy to observe, the demand for
cotton in our market still continues very brisk;
—the sales during the last fox might, amount
to about 30 000 bags,
NAPLES.
The bands of robbers have become so formi
dable in (he kingdom of Naples, that the gov
ernment has had recourse to the most severe
’ and arbitrary means for their suppression—
A list of their names is published and a re
, ward is offered for taking or slaying them.
An evening paper says the Russian govern
ment has recently given oiders for British
j manufactures to «n amount little short of two
, millions sterling. —The blanket trade, at Win
' tey, is now uncommonly brisk, and all the
. manufacturers there are fully employed,
' The loss sustained at Lloyd’s, by insurances
, on Spanish and Portuguese vessels captured by
, the independents, does not exceed 100 000—
' They have been exaggerated in an evening
C paper to the extent of between 2 and 3,000,000/.
On the 4th of last July, a woman, called
Annoniciade Neri, was delivered, at Rome, of
, a monstrous infant, which died on the same
day—lt had the head of a sea fish, called by the
| Italians arzilla—The rest of the body was well
formed.
American Mission at Bombay.
i !
! Extract of a letter from the Rev. Horatio Hard
well, dated Bombay, Feb. 8, 1817, to the
Rev. William Fisher, of Stamford, ( Con .)
“ Whether we shall ever see the fruit of
our labors or not, God only knows ; and we
J are willing to leave it in his hands—ls any
good is done among this people, surely the ex
cellency of the power must be acknowledged
to be of God ; for the strength of superstition
| and idolatry is beyond description—Within a
| mile of our bouse there are probably thirty
temples consecrated to idols—Almost every
hour in ihe day may be heard the prayers and
supplications of the multitude to these gods of
wood and stone.
A few weeks ago I witnessed the swinging
of two persons, as it is called, suspended by
hooks thrust through the fleshy part of the
I back—The machine consists of a perpendicu
lar post about twelve feet high—At the top of
this was a pivot that sustained a horizontal pole;
at one end of this the hooks were fastened, at
the other end ropes were fixed to raise the
hooks—The whole machine were placed upon
wheels—Jusr before the first person was sus
pended, an old man, girded with a belt strung
with little bells, and deformed wiih numerous
badges of horrid superstition, seized a youDg
kid that was presented him, tore open the jugu
lar veins with his teeth, and like a monster
sucked the blood while the little animal was
struggling in death—This sacrifice being made,
a procession then formed and marched a num
ber of times round the car—They at length
stopped, and a man, about 30 years of age, was
quickly suspended on the hooks and the car was
then drawn by the people a number of times
round the yard, attended by tomtoms and
shoutings of the multitude—After being drawn
around about ten minutes, he „„ \ c * dwil
! and a w «man suspended in the same manner—
] Neither of these pci sons discovered the least
signs of pain but seemed wholly at ease
When they are let down, the multitude passed
around to touch them, as through some pecu
l.ar blessing or virtue was common,icated
ilns painful ceremony was performed before
a small temple, in consequence, and as the per
formance ol certain vows voluntarily made by
the persons who were thus tormented—The
next day two other persons were suspended in
the s am e way—Truly Satan is a hard master-
Who that has one spark of humanity cr religion
can be indifferent to such horrid scenes of blood
and wickedness 1 Beholding this exhibition,
my mind was forcibly impressed with the con
trast between Satan’s kingdom and the king
dom of Christ—Unable to bear ora) testimony
against such wicledness, I could only p ra y that
God would open their eyes to see their folly
O my dear brother, do tell your people what
a precious blessing they enjoy by having Christ
j preached among ther Are there not some
I among the young convert*, who are willing to
lorsake all to preach Christ to the heathen ?
Do encourage them for the harvest is great—
bmee I have been in India, my health has been
perfectly good.
Dear brother, I rejoice that the Lord has per
muted me to engage in the glorious work—O
that I may be active and dilligent to the end of
my life, for the salvation of these poor heathen.
