the barge, in which the princess sat on the left of her mother. Repeated discharges of cannon on all sides took place during her approach to the shore. Captain Owen had previously rowed ashore to receive her royal highness. All descriptions of persons were anxious to pay their respectful attention, and vied with each other in the mode of evinsing it. The princess first landed, and bowed most gracefully and courteously to the surrounding spectators. When the venerable duchess, who was led by Captain Owen, reached the platform, the mayor and town cierk advanced towards her, when the latter read the following congratulatory address:"We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the mayor, jurats, and common councillors, of the corporation of Gravesend and Milton, inost humbly beg leave to oder our congratulations upon your royal higliness's safe return to the dominions of our beloved sovereign. "Called upon, at the sudden, to express our feelings, we are little able to do justice to them, but they are not the less sincere. "We entreat your royal highness to believe, that his Majesty has not any subjects who more fervently wish a continuance of that happiness, which must, upon this ocasion, be mutually felt by your royal highness and the excellent princess your daugh ter." The Princess of Wales curtsied lowly at the concluding sentence. The duchess was, throughout, very sensibly affected; and notwithstanding her tears and agitation, replied in the following impressive terms : "You will easily believe. Sir, that my feelings also are too great, on this occasion, to express them as I could wish: 1 heartily thank you all." The duchess then proceeded to her carriage, in which the princess was ready to receive her, and drove to Blackheath.-Tuesday, the Duchess of York paid a visit to the Duchess of Brunswick; on Wednes day, the Princess Charlotte of Wales; and on Thursday, the King likewise paid a visit to his royal sister. The effect of the meeting, after a separation of 40 years, may be better conceived than described. 13. The Duchess of Brunswick and the Princess of Wales paid a visit to their Majesties and the Princesses, at Buckinghamhouse. They were received with much state and great ceremony. 21. The first stone was laid of Earl Lucan's intended residence at Hamilton-place, Piccadilly.The designs are by Leverton. 25. A fire broke out at Coombank, Lord Frederic Campbell's seat, near Tunbridge, in Kent. Lady F. Campbell, it appears, was addicted to the dangerous practice of reading in bed, and while thus engaged, on Friday night, fell asleep. The curtams of her bed soon after caught fire, and the flames acquired such force, that every effort to rescue her ladyship proved ineffectual. When the body was found, it was nearly reduced to ashes. The greater part of the elegant mansion was destroyed. Her ladyship was the daughter of Amos Meredith, Esq. and sister to Sir William Meredith, Bart. In 1752 she was married to Earl Ferrers, the unfortunate nobleman who was executed at Tyburn, in 1760, for the wilful murder of Mr. Johnson, his steward; she was, however, divorced from him by act of parliament, and in 1769 was married to Lord Frederic Campbell, brother to the Duke of Argyle. Her ladyship was in her 70th year. 25. The Sylvia cutter, arrived at Portsmouth, from Halifax, has brought despatches from Admiral Berkeley, commanding the British squadron on the American coast, announcing an action to have been fought off New York, between s Majesty's ship Leopard, of 50 guns, and the American frigate Chesapeak; in which the latter, having 15 men killed, and several wounded, was compelled to strike her colours.

WE have the pleasure to announce the arrival of a valuable fleet from China, viz. William Pitt, David Scott, Alnwick Castle, Essex, Walmer Castle, Lady M. Sinclair, Ceres, Winchelsea, and Elphinstone, from China; Euphrates and Sir William Beasley, from Bengal: their cargoes consist of the following merchandize : $5,871 lbs. Raw Silk, 390 bales Sunn, 6,293 bags Sugar, Privilege Goods, 589 bales Cotton, 1,600 bags Pepper, 1,402 chests Indigo, 139 casks Turmerick, 13 chests Cassia, 24 chests Gum Animi, 290 jars Green Ginger, 290 bags Cowries, 20+ cheats Safflower, 37 chests Munjeet, 258 chests Gum Arabic, 245 bales Cotton Wool, 299 bales Raw Silk, 20 jars Castor Oil. Besides several parcels of goods, the particulars of which are not yet known. The East India Company have declared for sale on the 7th September, 1507 (Prompt the 4th December), the following goods : Bohea Tea - Peke and Souchong 400,000 lbs. - 4,050,000 950,000 800,000 100,000 6,000,000 lbs. Tea; and on Wednesday, 2d September (prompt the 4th December), 30,000 bags Saltpetre; also 200,000 lbs. weight of Cinnamon, on Thurs day, the 1st October (prompt 8th January 1908.) West India produce is in great abundance in the market, and the public sales have been very few. 385 cask Sugar, sold per William Broadhurst, from 58s. to 64s, per cwt. 810 casks Coffee, per Kymer and Co. from 909. to 1958. per cwt. 230 bags Pimento, per Blanche and Co. from 84d. to 11d. per lb. No sales of Rum, which article has rather lowered in price, and Leeward Island Rum will scarce fetch above Ss. to Ss. id. per gallon, Cotton Wool of all de criptions very low, principally owing to our want of an export of our manufactured goods to the North of Europe. At Manchester, Preston, Bolton, &c. the cotton trade is at present rather dull, and in the West of England the manufacture of cloths and all sorts of woollen goods goes on very brisk, as well as in Yorkshire for the coarser sort of woollens. In the North of ireland, the linen trade is in the most flourishing state, and the exports thence very considerably increased. CURRENT PRICES OF MERCHANDIZE, London, 20th July, 1807.
