On the 10th there was a great tumult at London The Houfeof Lord Caftlereagh was attacked by the populace, crying bread! bread! They were finally dispersed by the military, but not before Several houses were greatly damaged, a mong other thole of Mr. Quin rin, Dick, Mr Port for, by and Mr. John Morris, in Jkaker street.: The house of a person whom the French paper names Joseph Banks (sup posed fir Joseph Banks ) was also attacked and in part gutted. Im portant papers it is said, were a mongst other things, into the streets and deflroyed. Baltimore, April ‘29. From Canada. —lt is (fated, on the authority of letters from Buffa lo, that the parliament of Upper Canada has passed a law for the seizure of all the American proper ty that has been or may be receiv ed into the province, which is to remain in a (late of sequestration until the will of the Britiffi cabinet is known. The pretence is, that there is no treaty of commerce between the United States and Great Britain. These people ought to re(le£f, that within three months, we may have British property in our ports to the value of many millions. From the Boston Patriot of March 25. Latest from Halifax. —On Thurs day last arived at Salem, two cartel brigs, fix days from Halifax , bring ing about 260 of our counnfimv’n, 0.01)2 have been prisoners at that place. a ■ Ail the prisoners that tfe have seen, agree that their treatment in the Halifax prisons was brutal and barbarous in the extreme. They speak particularly of capt. Nelson , of Philadelphia, who had formerly been a warm friend of the Engiifh. There can be no doubt but Ills death was Droiueed. and intended I to be produced, by the malignant savages who fuperinten led and di rected the affairs of the prison. Ellis, however, was but one in (lanee among many others, The British had evidently adopted an inhuman system, by which to break down the spirits , the health and the constitutions of our unfortunate countrymen. A proof'd this was the great number of deaths which took place. From the ist of Jan uary to the 12th of March there were fifty deaths ! A lea man, who was taken in tire Dele ware, and who had been in prison at Halifax for twenty months, informed the editors of the Salem Gazette, that in that time as many as three hun dred prisoners had died. V'/hile British prisoners have uniformly been well treated in American pin ions, and while on Chnibnas and thanksgiving days they have, in many itiffances, been flaked with roasted turkies and other delicacies, the bread given to our brave, but unfortunate countrymen, was not only frequently foully, but fome times contained fubfiances of the mod noxious quality, bach asghfs, pins, nails, tobacco, chips, dirt &c. A certain Scotchman, by the name of VP Donald, who .acts un der the British government as phy fician to the American prisoners at Melville IfLmd, dNerves to be in troduced to the inhabitants of the United Stares. He is a person oi low datura and florid complexion, with a countenance highly indica tive of ignorance and dogmatifin. He is in manners a clown, 6c in phy sic a quack. He is an inveterate enemy to all that bear the name of American, though the lives of our countrymen have been placed in his care While acting in his offi cial capacity, he employs himfejf m dealing out bolules and curses, as may be mbit agieeable to his hu mor. The latter however, have been found to be much the more harnlefs of the two—for leaden bullets, dilcharged from British tnufkets, were never so fatal as the poisonous remedies of this con temptible empiric. Should this picture ever attract the notice of the original, he may rest affined that it was drawn by one who knows him well. A his tory of his conduct would be a hif tcry of the darkest malevolence, matured and brought into a-ftion by the low cunningof a Scotchman. It is to be hoped that the case of the unfortunate Nelson will yet be un folded to the world. The disclo sure of fome well authenticated fadts would (how who were accom plices in the murder of an American citizen 1 This is but one among the numerous infiances of villany. Boston , April 1 8. We learn that on the arrival of the Argus at Halifax (whither she went to endeavor, to procure the release of the recaptured brig Le gal Tender, and which it is uncer tain whether she will be able to do, and she mult firft go through an expensive trial) she was immediate ly seized, on the plea that there was nothing in the treaty which admit ted American vefTds into the pro | vince.

THE late revolution in France although not the mod mo mentous, is perhaps the most strik ingly remarkable in modern His tory. The apparent inadequacy of the means employed, the grandeur of the object - , the celerity of its ac coniplifiiment, give it more the ap pearance of romance than reality ; while the political consequences likely to ensue to Europe and the world at large make it one of the mod im portant events the world ever wit nessed. Bonaparte in his add refs to the Army* and the People and in his de crees has sketched the outlines of his future political course. It may be summed up in a very few words —He renounces foreign conquefi and domination, and confines hi-, views to France. A boundless field of curiouty and conjeclure instantly opens iifelf to the politicians of Europe, in which all fpeeulaiion must for the present be hypothetical and conse quently vague. What are his views upon Spain, upon Holland , upon Italy, and the Rhinifh powers —what are his relations with the Emperor—whether he would Rand a quiet fpeefiator of the difmemher ment of Turkey , or the incorpora tion of Saxony and the remainder of Poland with Prussia and Russia— whether he will follow up the measures of the late King for the reduction of Sr. Domingo—are fome of the enquiries which present themselves. Thus after more than twenty years struggle at an expense of fob J ar.d treads re profufe beyond example; the nations o Europe, wasted, bleeding, panting from the conflict are fullered but cue year to repose from thrfo toils. They have jnfi trod round the circle and find them so Ives where they began. Ail Europe *s in motion. We learn (how true we know net) that 4 or 500,000 men are in motion, and nearly as many more in reserve to act again It the Emperor of France. Ihe Belgic provinces (between Holland and France) are to be the fi iieatre of the firft ope ratious, and the reluk of these will or comic dev elope or lhape the further views of trie contending parties.
