We are no advocates for any ad ditional imposition of duties, particularly in commerce; yet, as we do not think it would be very convenient to repeal tin- existing duty on cotton, we are of opinion that, under pretext circumstances*foreign ers purchasing it from us should, in jus tice to ourselves, be subject to the tike charge.

The British government.however, was toocau- tious Uu commit itself openly! and the two diplomatists returned to France by Dun kirlt. -Upon touching their native soil they suddenly changed their characters, and addressed a letter to the Count De Gazes, then minister of the police, express ing the tenderest regard fur his excellen cy’s safety, and proposing to disclose to Inm a horrid conspiracy against the king’s govern men t. They denounced several persons by name as engaged in the plot, such as, the Counts Severede la Bourdon- naye, Bolderu de Margadel.tlie Marquis de Ja Boissiere, with several others who had been officers of high rank in the royal army (opposed to the government of Bo naparte,) and must uf thepriests uf the de partment. M. de Cazes, holvever, instead of rewarding their zeal, has had them tried for their Iivts. Upon their trial they re tracted their denunciations of individuals, anil declared that they went to England solelv to get into the confidence of the English government, anil discover wheth er it entertained designs against the go vernment, of the king of France. They persisted in crimiuating the English go vernment and declared that the plot of which they spoke, leaPy existed, but was U.featcd. They are accused of the fol lowing charges—1st, being engaged in a plot to subvert the government "id the king —2d, conspiring with the English govern ment—3d, having made criminal proposi tions loafureign power, which that pow- ~ rejected. Tlieprisoners were acquitted of the first but declared guilty of the second and third caarges. The counsel raised a point of law in tlivir favour—that they made dis coveries which brought them within the provisions of the penal code. The judges ruled the point in their favor, and pro nounced them not guilty. They are merely placed for fiveyear3 nndsrthe surveillance nl the police. The. crown counsel hav. appealed against the construction of the judges, and the question : eumes hcfuio the court of cassation,. .-This is altogether a trangeaffuir. As far as wo can judge thete twopersans are merely piufligateadventur- i-rs, who fabricated ^"tliendenuuncedaplot to obtain moneys—in fact two incendiary spies- ' r Liverpool, May 1.'; Several hundred woiltmen, chiefly out of employment, met on Monday morning week, in Park Bow, opposite the court house,’in Leeds, for the purpose, it should seem, ot exhibiting their numbers, and af ter remaining in that situation till about 11 o’clock in the forenoon, matched into iiriggate, in a kind of procession, 3 or 10 leep. The persons forming this distress- ud body were principally croppers, resi dent in Leeds, and clothiers from the neighboring villages. Their behaviour, •iiucli to their ciedit, was perfectly oidei- ly; and their meeting, though evidently bv concert, was intended merely,,as far as we cart Jcarri, to present to their more opu lent neighbors a striking manifestation ol the public distress, for the purpose oi" in ducing some efforts to put them iu a way either iqtlleir native cou, try, or in a to reign land, of supporting themselves ami their families. An alarming fever lias broken out a- tnong tlfe students in the college, near Mass, county Kildaie; such is its virul ence, that the prolessors hive written to the parents ot those not afflicted, to have them instantly removed, and, in order to prevent the contagion spreading farther, suits ot clothes are ordered to be brought tor such as shall he removed, with the view ol burning those that are already iu use. the charge ot" Bigamy." It appeared the general had contracted a marriage at Leghorn, in 1799, with Charlotte Swartz, a second in London, in May* 1813, with Miss Get.rgianna Maria Ifetihinsor,; sod a third in, France, in May 1817- The trial was put ofl"to enable the defendant, if he could, to procure evidence'of the forgery ofthe documents brought forward to prove the two first marriages. The general de clared that he did not mean to contend ter the forgery of'the certificates of ins mar riage with Miss Hutchinson, but said, that 1 as he had been capitally condemned in No vember, 1610, the marriage was dissolved by this civil death. “By your admission of fact, aud your argument in law,” said the advocate general, “you are then thrice married, without contracting matrimonial ties; and are still a baicbelor, tho’ you have three wives!’’—The further hearing was put off.

A letter from Copenhagen says,that the Danish captain Schumaker has invented » kind of rocket, far superior in force and precision to the congrieve rockets. They ascend to a prodigious height, and form themselves into a globe of fire, which casts a light sobriliant that it is Visible at the distance of 17 or 18 German miles! It is quite idle to say that minister* do aot announce their intention of a loan, since a declaration that the exchequerbiUs are to be taken in the proportion of-25 per. cent in payment of lhe instalment, is a di rect avowal ofthe fact. It would be a fraud on tho buyers, if a loan after this notice did not take place—and we may gather from tiie text of the notice the probable amount of the Joan, jies® their being about eight millions of these exchequer bills to issu'e, the amount of the loan would be 3£ millions. This mode was no doubt intended by Mr. Vansittart to raise the funds, but it l:a» fal len thenvand all the speculators are a- II- ing; and a further fal! is looked for.

The monied interest- are decidedly averse to this measure, and think it one of the moat absurd aud fallacious schemes ever resorted to, and will assuredly recoil on himself.

This young fanatic had refused to endure an operation which might have saved his life; it «as ac companied yesterday, one cannot yet judge its success. Previous to commit ting his crime, Sandt wrote a letter from 10 to 12 pages to his relations, hut it d.d not arrive until atter the consummation of his crime, lhe following are fragments ol it, which but too forcibly attest tho ex tent to which his reason and heart had been perverted by ihe doctrines ofa sect- which labours to overturn all notions of right and wrong:— “Rejoice then, you who love me so well, when j ou shall hear of the grand blow which .I Jiave struck. Long have I pon dered Oh the happiness of my country; the dat is come when we must lay aside think- tug fur acting. For the last twenty years, and particularly siuce the glorious 1813, the regeneration ofthe, Germanic life has proceeded very well.

There.is an old a'l of parliament, passed during the protectorateofCrom well, (1957) entitled “an act for the punkhment of such ergons as live at high rates, and have no isiale estate, |>rol>-*s}on nr calling, an: swerab.Ie thereunto.” The preamble re- , that “whereas divers leud and ilis- ilute persons in his commonweaitn live at very high rates ami great expances, having no visible estate, etc. to maintain them selves in their licentious, loose, and un»o<J ly practices, but make it their Bade’am vefiliood to cheat, dehoysf, cozen, and deceive the young gentry and the other good people of tins commonwealth; be it enactid,” etc. The authority given t magistrates urdei this act was curious.— Every justice of peace, mayor, or other head officer, might issue Iris warrant tobrin K such persons before him, and require hail for his appearance at the next general ses sion, or in default ol such bail, send him to prison till lie was provided. They were then to be indicted at the said session for l.ving at high rates and great cxpenccs, having no visible estate, profession or call- ing,answerable thereunto; and upon con viction they were to be sent to t!m fiou-e of correction and kept to hard labor for three months. Upon.a second conviction fur the same offence, they were to be com- milled as aforesaid, and detained till di»- •chaiged by the justices in open sessions.-— If this law was put in force now (says * cotempoi ary,) the different houses ol cor rection would be crowdid, instead of tli theaircs at hall prices, and Hydenark on a Sunday.
