post captain, N. commodore on the Eakes of Canada, We pray your Iloyal Highness to reflect, how probable it is that all endeavours tq frame provisional laws by a body of in en 4000 miles distant froaj the scenes of their attempted regulations, will fail of their desired effect, as it is impossible that the finest understanding and purest motives can supply the wantoflucal knowledge, su essentially necessary to the. important work of legislation. Wc most solemnly assure your Royal Highness of our firm conviction, that, in this colony, there never has been or ever is likely to be, an evasion of the slave trade abolition act, a measure which has always been considered by us as equally honourable to the mother country, and conducive to the prosperity of this island, abounding as it does in a huge and increasing population of Creole slaves, which will, we trust, in a short time, be amply competent to the task of cultivating the whole of its productive soil. Could any plan nevertheless be devised by the parent state, not inconsistent with the exercise of our undoubted political rights, ts, give the competent effect in that act, it would be received by vis with gratitude, and furthered with alacrity and 'zeal.

Wo challenge any the strictest scrutiny that can he made into the state and condition of the slaves of this colony, confident that the result of it would be highly creditable to the Barbadian character, and soothing to the feelings of our fellow-subjects at home, inflamed and misguided as they are by false and calumnious reports. We bag leave to deprecate, in the strongest terms, all legislative interference between master and slave, as leading to consequences directly opposite to the professed object of those deluded philanthropists, who would thus increase, instead of diminishing, the sum of human misery, by exciting ill defined expectations, that cannot be gratified, and encouraging an insubordination necessarily productive (if not of still more horrid evils) of that very slavery which they seem must anxious to restrain. We shall wait with anxious but confident minds the result of this appeal to the generosity and justice of your Hoyal High- BIRTH On 'die I Sib July, in Northumberland-street, fhc lady' of Sir-James Douglas, K.

The foreign papers continue to inform us of the damr.ge done by storms of hail and rain, by lightning and thunder, in almost every part of Europe. Whole districts have been ravavged and laid waste, houses have been blown down, the labours of the husbandman destroyed, rivers have burst their banks, and inundated vast tracts. The greatest damage seems to have been done in Germany. From various parts both of England and Scotland we have also accounts of recent alarming thunder-storms and heavy showers of rain and bail. Although the weather has been variable, and chiefly cod and wet, it has not been severe.

On Saturday night frequ'evU flashes of very bright sheet lightning, accompanied by the growling of a distant thunder, were observed at Edinburgh chiefly in a southerly direction and the same was seen on Sunday night, less vivid. In the neighbourhood the rivers are much swollen ately we speak of facts that are incontrovertible. Thousands and lens of thousands have been already but they' were unable to return from a land to' which they were led by unprincipled Baltimore papers have reached town to the 1.9lh ult.

In America also il'has proved no extraordinary. In that quarter of the globe, they experienced a fall of snow about the middle of last month. By the A raxes which' left Jamaica on the June, we learn, that -she United frigate Macedonia had arrived oil' Santa Martini wiih a Commissioner on hoard, who demanded the A-merican citizens in confinement to be delivered up. The Governor answered, tbat it would be necessary for the Commissioner to go to Cnrthagtna, to make known his demand to the Chief Authority theie but be and the American Captain reiterated their demand, adding, that if not instantly complied with, they would cruize off the coast and make reprisals.

About twenty minutes before three o'clock on Sunday, there was the heaviest full of bail and rain ever recollected in Clasu-ow, It continued from ten minutes to a quarter of an hour, accompanied with incessant and vivid flushes of lightning, and a great deal thunder. The streets leading from the higher to the lower part of the town became beds of so many rivulets, and ip some places where the water could not get readily off, ii accumulated to the height of two or three feet. The cellars in several places were completely inundated, and a number of the shops and houses on the ground floors have suffered considerably. Manv houses were likewise damaged by the ruin penetrating through the roofs, where they were anywise deficient, or where the hail had broken the windows, or where the gutters bad burst.

We continue to receive the most melancholy news JVo.jp Germany on the extraordinary weather which afflicts nearly the whole of Europe. The excessive abundance of rain has caused disasters almost every where. In Saxony, in the Grand Duchy of Wurlzburgh, and in the fertile rallies of the lihajngeber, there is no longer any hope for agriculture. The snows of winter still cover the mountains. In Switzerland thp Birs and the Bit'sig have broksn their dykes, ci.vried away their bridges, and inundated the country, Tlie Canton of Basle has sustained dreadful injury.

In the plains the corn and the potatoes are under water. The elevated grounds only afford some hope. This calamity appears almost general all travellers assert that it is experienced The pommnndcr-in-Chiel' has issued a general order, with the of ameliorating the condition of the soldiers. It directs, for the purpose of ascertaining the marriages of soldiers, and the baptism of their legitimate children, that a book of registry be kept in every regiment, iu which the marriage of everv non-commissioned ollicev'and private, and the baptism and the age of the children, shall he recorded and certified the adjutant no chaplain or officiating: clergyman shall soly.thnize marriage wjf bout the consent of the commanding officer care to he taken that the marriages are to be solemnized, Recording to the provisions of the marriage act, under the, hand of the chaplain, Thus the object of tliese regulations is to afford to the soldier ibe means of obtaining for his legitimate offspring, benefit from the royal military asylum, and from other public establishments, formed for the benefit of the wives and children of sol diers.

Mvdeah Sir, I cannot express with what real feeling of pleasure and satisfaction I had the honour of receiving the flattering testimony of the recollection of my comrades in arms, and can with perfect truth assure them, that, I shall ever gratefully remember as among the happiest periods of my life, my connection with the SSth Regiment, whose officers ever lived in the utmost harmony, and who vied only with each other in the strict perfor- .1. Wre have been favoured with a perusal of American papers of a recent date; ore 01 which contains an extract from a statistical work lately published, sp.ying a very flatteriiiir view ofthonro- mumi- ui nit, i imuiarv uuues. The Sword is most eleaaut; and should I ever draw in the 1 nuijnog, file euifpr 01 THE spots OX TUB sex.

These spots are said to be the cause of the remarkable and wet weather, vve have had this summer and the increase of them, it is added, announces a removal of heat, the end of the world, These fears are not new. In tlie seventeenth century the astronomers considered the spots on the sun as the commencement of iht- -vtineti on of that great conflagration which they bo the cause of the luminous state of tb? sun. In the 18th cen iry, an opfnion was maintained by I Hire, that those spots were large lakes which would drown the sun. But the supposition that the sun was an igneous body is now generally abandoned and an hypothesis, more to the majestv of nature, as well as all modern observations, considers the stir) only as the centre towards which gravitates from all parts the lu-inin fluid, and perhaps the caloric spread throughout space. Like the plate of glass in the electrical apparatus, the sun, by its rajiid movement round its axis, puts in vibration the two fluids W'o have just named.

Accumulated on the surface of the stir, these form a splen atmosphere which deprives us of thp sight of bis dense and ojiaqu'e nucleus, TJip movements of tliese luminous bodies, however, suller us sometimes to have an imperfect view of some parts of the sun, and these parts form what are Called spots. Such is the opinion of Herschel and others. These spots, therefore, do not prove an cxhnusfipn, pitier of light or heat. Besides, History shews that they have no constant influence ujion the temperature of our jilanet. We have seen cold ami wet years in which the sun had few spots we have seen also hot years when the sun has been covered with them.

These phenomena have never been followed by any sensible and durable revolution in our attposphere.
