The lateft accounts from the Ifles of the Levant are extremely atiliaing. They have become a prey to internal difturbances of the molt ferious kind. The peafants make war on the inhabitants of the towns,. and fpread defolation wherever their irruptions are fuccefsful. The principal feat of tumult and misery Is Corfu ; there the peafants have fequeftered the revenues of the landholders, taken pofefflon of the moll important Potts, and entirely blocked up the palfitges to the city. The arrival of a corps of Ruffians, who are on their palfage to there Ifles, is expected with the utmoft anxiety. Their prefence will tend to reltore tran quillity and order. Letters from Stockholm, dated the 9th inftant, Rate that PAUL I. bas difmifted Count PAININ from his fituation of Minifter for Foreign Affairs. The eaufe of this difmifild is fuppofed to have been his conftant attachment to the interclis of England and Auftria,and his averfion to all political alli ances with Praia. M. KaLLICHOFF, who is ap pointed his fn . cceifor, has always profeffed princi ples of an oppofite nature. He is high in favour with the Ruffian Emperor, and has fucceffively been Ambafrador at Berlin, the Hague, and Vienna. The Government of Denmark have publifhed a curious Proclamation : they requeft their fubjetts to omit their atelflowed mode of celebrating son Centuries by illuminations and other deftivities. Thole who have been in the habit of keeping a sew Cent-set:7 in this way, will no doubt be hurt at the privation. NEW CENTURY.We entered into a new cen tury yefterday—an important epoch, which cannot be contemplated without ferious emotions ! We look back to the pall, we revert to the great events that have occurred in the century that is gone.— We take an expanfive view of the fituation of /ran during that period, of the revolutions in Rates and kingdoms—we trace the progrefs of literature and fcience—we follow the career of all thole arts that conduce to tae comfort, the happin , :fs, or the im provement of the human race. What an impor tant century ! What changes have taken place in the fate and fortunes of every country in the globe ! Two nations have rifen to the molt for , midable importance—another has undergone a revolution, which, like an earthquake, has fhaken the whole univerfe—a third nation, great and powerful at the end of the feventeenth century, has been difinembered, and exifts no longer as an ind,pendent Power, Rulta and Pruffia have ac quired fuch an importance as almoß to commaiid the defliny of every nation upon the Continent; France, in the progrefs of a revolution, has increaf ed her power to a gigantic fize. But it is of the molt importance to Englithment to contemplate the changes which Great Britain has experienced during the sSth century. She has 101 l an eaten live dominion in the Weft ; the has gained an em pire in the Eati—the has added to her naval fame, and carried the fpirit of commercial enterprife to a height unexampled in the Ittlio-y of the world ; We enter upon a new centuirWith profpetts not immediately flattering. No hopes are held out to us of a fpeedy termination of the war with France, and new enemies and a new conflia are expelled. We enter upon the new century however with an important change. An Union has taken place with Ireland, and one Parliament is in fu ture to legillate for the two Iflands--Fdixfauj YAP. I re it a friend to his country cannot be without feelings of anxiety. His hopes will not be unmixed with fears. That the former may be realized, and the latter be proved to have been unfounded is our fencer and ardent with ! Like the Fran- Coast's, the deceafecl Century has recently been expofed to aftianation. An evil minded fet of philofophers determined to kill him (like poor Partridge the almanack maker) before hie time • and for this purpofe they prepared an in fernal machine filled with quibbles, bad logic, and Zero years, with which they tormented the poor old gentleman. He, however, defied their attacks, and lived a year longer than they expefted. He had completed his hundredth ear when he ex pired on Wednefday night. His fon, fingular to fay, was born the moment his father died, and promifes to reach as good an old age. The ant fins; who endeavoured to deltroy tht father, con tend that the fon is already a year old • but from an examinatioi d various pittures of the family in their infancy, we are convinced that the child has not yet completed the fecond day of his tziftence. The progrefs of knowledge during the IA cen tury is admitted to have been very great; but it will be heard with Armament by thole who are ignorant of the fait, and by the majority of the Livery of London, that fuels barbarians were our ancellors, as at the end of the t 7th century to have been ignorant of the virtues of Callipaila and Callipee. WIN Ivan sit Y, who wrote at that period, has thought it neccftsry to inform his readers, that the tortoise is of fuch largenefs, that one of them will make a dozen meffes, appointing fix to every mefs ; that it is Inch a kind of food as a man can neither abfolntely call fifh nor Refit ; that it is big. ger than a great round target ; and that it is/ea/ins. abk, teothfomr, and wholefisne meat.

Whether from the v:cakners of m 7 nerves or in. telleEt I cannot fay (perhaps both), t I mule confers I have a belief in etas, or apparitions. This, is confirmed by circumilanecs that have of late occurred in this place, of which I fend vod the following particulars For tome time pea 'Abe family of Dr. APTHORPF, a molt refpeetable bene ficed Clergyman refident in the houfe formerly occupied by and belonging to the Bithop of Lan daff, has been much alarmed by the beU in th different rooms ringing without being pulled by any viftble being; every enquiry into the caufe that Reafon and Philofophy could fuggell has been made, but to no purpole. On Thurfday evening kit Dr. CORY, Matter of Emanuel, and Mr. Di- NEASTOR, Fellow of Chrift's College, were at the Dodoes when the fame merry inclination feiaed them again ; thefe gentlemen cam:finest with pc. culiar attention the wires, cranks, and all the ap pendages to theft moving inftruments,but could not difcover by what means they had been fet to work. A particular friend of mine called lately on tome bufinefs, when one folitary bell began its ufual fro lic, without any refponfe from the ret, for in ge neral they (bike in concert. The wire of one was cut to prevent its joining the others; but that could not prevent its adding to the general chorus; another had neither pully or wire, yet that alto refuted to remain ftlent. Only.laft night the whole were very bufy; but one, more noify than the reit, rang with uncommon violence. I dare fay Tome of your Readers will be fe fceptical as to laugh at, and dilbelieve this account; bat it can be s creed by the mei taut i tabfr evidence. CANTAIBRIOIENSIS. BOUG HEY WILLIAM DOLLING, B.A. of Exeter College,_ is elected Fellow of that Society. Sir HYDE PARKER'S leave ofabfence is only for three weeks, after which he enters upon alluit/ ftrvice. The pleafant villa, called the Priory, near South well, in Nottingham, has lately been purchafed by Sir CHARLES KENT.

Mr. SHERIDAN is laid to be at prefent aftnally writing a Comedy, which will be ready for repro. fentation in the courfe of the prefent feafon. Mr. COLMAN'S new Comedy is accepted by Mr. HARRIS, and will thortly be brought forward at Covent-garden Theatre. Mr. FITZGERALD writes the Prologue to the fQrth-coming Tragedy- of Mr. Sourest., at Drury. 1 tr.e. The Comedy of Every Mai hi his Amour, which has been revived with fo much fucccfs at Covent- Garden Theatre, was originally aded by the Lord Chamberlain's Servants in 150. A late ingenious Author Rates, that as originally written, the fcene was at Florence, the perfons reprefented were Italians, and the manners in a great rneafure con formable to the genius of the place; but in this Play the humours of the under-characters are local, expreffing not the manners of a Florentine, but the Gulls and Bullies of the times and country in which the Poet lived ; and as it was thus repre rented on the Stage, it was publifhed in the fame manner, in 4to. m 16ot. When it was printed again in the Colleftion of the Author's Works, it had a more becoming• and contiftent afpea. '1 he fcene was transferred to London, the names of the perfons were changed to Englifh ones, and the dialogue, incidents, and manners were fuited to he plan of aftion, and thus we now have it in the folio Editions of 160, and in the the feveral Editions which have been printed fince. Two Foreigners, Captains of veffels, have been arrefted by order of the Duke of PORTLAND, on fufpicion of carrying money out of this kingdom to France.

Saturday fe'nnight, thq Jrligh Court of Juni ciary at Edinburgh, Jsriieseded to the trial of ifakew Toisorg, late collier at Hunter's-hall, par:fh of Libberton, county of Edinburgh, accufed, at the inliance of hit Majefty's Advocate, of hav ing, along with tome other perfons, flolen large quantities of potatoes in the night time, in the month of September Taft, from different fields in the parifhes of Duddingllon, Libberton, Newton, and Inverefk. He was alfo accufed of having, with feveral other colliers, violently affaulted and ob ftruCted the Sheriff's officers who attempted to ap prehend him and others. The Counfel for the Crown reftrided the libel to an arbitrary punifhment.
