The coldest day was the 13th of January, and the hottest the 18th of August —The general bill of mortality, from the 15th of Decem ber, 1801, to the 11th of December 1802, makes the burials 1iK379, which is 3 more than last year. GHEZZA R AcHA has for a long time disclaimed all dependence on the SIMI AN, and has far some years withheld from him the stipulated revenues. On the return, however, of the GRAND VtZIER to CCOStantirorie, he entered into a convention with the Paella of ACRE, by which G:,tzzAß rendered to the Porte a part of these arre.srs; but he has again thrown of all semblance of subjection, and has cap tured a French vessel trading to Tripoli, in Syria, under faith of the treaty between France and Tur. key ; and, asserting that he had not treated with Pow A? a ail., confiscated the vessel, and threw the crew into prison. The weak state of the Turk ren. ders him unable to ;.fford the redress which will doubtless be demanded, and this event, we fear, may be made a , pretext for the introducion of a French force into Syria. The riot at Glasgow on the 23d ult. arose frcm a report that a dead body was concealed in the Col lege. All the rooms were immediately opened and searched by the Magistrates, and the most perfect assurances given that the body was not in the Col. lege • nevertheless the mob proceeded to acts of violence, bre .king most of the front windows, and threatening to break into the buildings. On the following day the people again assembled, and, after the most daring attacks of outrage, were dis persed by the Magistrates. No person has been materially hart. The University has since been protected by a military force. Several persons have been apprehended and committed to prison in conse quence of this outrage. Early on Tuesday se'nnight in the morning, three highwaymen, two on horseback, and one on foot, robbed a post-boy belonging to Mr. Bulmer, of. North:Wei-ton, of 11. 2s. as he was returning with an empty chaise from Thirsk. One of them (G.unble, a sailor, the person who was on foot) has been since taken up for stealing a saddle; he has confessed that it was their intention to have robbed the North Mail at Martin's Folly, on its way North, on the morning of Tuesday, but were deterred by the guard being on the alert and blowing his horn, and also some waggons with the drivers being near. On Monday se'nnight the Judges formed them selves into a Court of Error in Dublin, and, after hearing some arguments, adjourned over until the 14th February next, on account of the indisposition of Lord KILWAIMEIS. A gentleman in a respectable mercantile house, not long since married to a very amiable woman, , had of lac inhibited symptoms of mental derange ment, and particularly by writing an incoherent letter to his partner, with whom he was in the closest habits of intimacy, tequesting him to take care of his-wife after he was gone ; the substance of this letter was communicated to the lady, who judged it right to watch narrowly the conduct of her Intsband, fearing he had some design on his cam ; notwithstanting the precautions used, the unf.ntiniate gentleman found means to slip out ins Tiseiday last, 'sent to a (*emist',, and purelva4d crnyn's worth of laudamfes in a phial, with which he wandered towards Redford-square, and there drank the contents; anon after be went into a public-house I and sat down; the landlord supposing him intosicat ed, took little notice of him, nil appealing very ill, he was questioned, when the unfortunate person asked for brandy; they gave hinstanne, 'which fortunately bad theinntiediate effect of bringing a good deal nr 4* laudanum off his at/mach, or he mast shortly knee tiled; his pockets were pow searched, when no g e--as found about him but the direction to a f rie nd'shou se, which probably he had put in his poc ket purpose;on through thi. friend intelligence was con veyed to the lady, who, on her arrival, found her husband in the niost deplorable state, with one side of his face and body completely paralyzed, in which state, notwithstanding the hest medical assistance, he Still rtIDADS, and but small hopes are entertained of Lis recovery icons the dreadful effects of his roll which canna, be accounted for but by iusaaity, SS the Gentleman vas in no pecuniary or ' Other CM b,anafainemb FOREIGN INTELLIGENCt• The Leyden antite of the 96th January contains the following CONVENTION, Concluded at Paris during the coarse of last month, respecting the amount of the Indemnities to be granted to the Mollie of Austria, in the Empire, The following is the substance of the Articles : Aar. I. Towards the encrease of the indemnity stipulated in favour of the Duke of Modena, and his heirs, his Imperial Majesty cedes the Bailiwick of Ortenau, in Swabia, with all its appurtenances, in order that it may be united to the Brisgau, and that these two provinces may be possessed, without any limitation whatsoever, by his said Highness the Duke of Modena, and his heirs, confo rmab ly to the fourth article of the treaty of Luneville. Ile In order to indemnify his Imperial Majesty for the loss of Ortenau, the bishoprics _of Trente and Brixen are to be seculirized ; and his Imperial Majesty shall enter into the possession thereof with out any exception whatever, and with the condition only ot providing an annuity for the present bishops. 111. The Grand Duke is to have the bishopric of Eithstadt, in addition to what has already been ad judged to him by the general Conclusum of the 2.1 d November, and all the rights and prerogatives at tached to it, with the exception only of the bailli wicks of Scnjsca, Wernfels, Spelt, Oherberg, Hernberg, and Wa rbourg, and of the dependencies of the above bishopric, which are connected with the territory of Anspach and Bayreuth ; in lieu of which the Grand Duke is to receive an equivalent in money, to be taken from the domains of his Elec toral Highness Bavaro-Palatine, in Bohemia. IV. With the reserve of the above-mentioned stipulations, his Imperial Majesty hinds himself to exert his influence to get the general plan of the in demnities, as settled by the Deputation Of the Em pire, with the exception of the modifiCations con tained in . the present, ratified by the empire and sanctioned by his Imperial Majesty himself, as soon as may he. V. His Imperial Majesty expressly understands, that after the exchange of the present, the countries mentioned in the preceding article may be occupied by the civil and military administrations belonging to the Princes to whom they have been adjudged, cn condition, however, that the city of Passau and en-. virons are not to be fortified, nor any new fortifica tions be erected in the territory of the Bishopric of Eichstadt. _ _ VI. The First Consul of the French Republic will co-operate with his Imperial Majesty of the Rnssias in procuring for his Royal Highness the Arch- Duke Ferdinand, and for his heirs, the Electoral Dignity. VII. The high contracting parties mutually gua rantee the execution of every thing contained in the abOve articles ; and the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty of all the Russias, as a prin cipal contracting party, rill be invited to accede to the present Convention. V LII. The present Convention shell be ratified in twenty days, reckoning from this day, and sooner if possible. Done at Paris, 26th December 1802. (Signed) PHIL. Co n Exzet, JOSEPH &MAP A RTE, Count MA n or r, In the Name of his Imperial Majesty of all the liussias. VIENNA, DEC. 20. Several jrnrrnals hare published, under the head of Vienna, that his Majesty the Emperor had just set at liberty, in pursuance to the treaty of Luneville, the Jacobins of Vienna, who were confir.;:d in the fortress of Mungatsch. It is true that the greater number of those State criminals who had been tried together and separately, by the Judicial Authorities, and according to the existing laws, have recovered their liberty ; bait for this favour they are solely in debted to the clemency and compassion of the Monarch, who no longer considered them as for midable enemies to the State. RATISBON, JAN. 18. An Austrian courier, coming from Vic-..u, on his way to Paris, passed by here this morning ; he is supposed to be the bearer of instructions to the Imperial Plenipotentiary and the Bohemian Minis ter, ordering them to adhere to the general Conclu sum of the Deputation. JANUARY 19. The Ministers of the mediating powers transmit ted yesterday two notes to Baron Albini, to be com municated immediately to the Extraordinary Depu tation. The first referred to the regulation of the number of new votes to be given to the Electors ; and the second to the provisioh to be made for the Elector of Treves, and the Prince-Bishop of Liege. STUTGARD, JAN. 19. Great preparations are already made here for the proclamation of his Sereae Highness the Duke of 'Wurtemberg, in his new capacity of Elector. ceremony will moat probably take place in be month of march next. His state carriage is already built. CrIBLENTZ, JAN. 20. The Tribunal of Appeal, for the four new lk partments of :lie left Bank of the Rhine, was in stilled on the 13th at Treves :--the ceremony was preceded by t high mass, celebrated by the bisbqp, and concluded by a. hall and splendid illumination. Letters from Naples, of the 29th of Dec. state fiat the Neapolitan troops are in pos,session of the • town, and tfie English of the fortress. The iollowing is the oath of fidelity to the Dutch Governor-General, to he taken by the inhabitants of Demerara and Essequibo : " I promice and CWeilf, tout I will be faithful to the Direc tory of the Bitaviim Republic, is the supreme authority to which I am vublect ; to the Council of the A111..6 , 73/1 colonies an posstision*, 'bud to the Governor-General of these colonies ; that I will fernier them all due obedience ; that I will awe no kart in any conspita‘us, cabbis, or actions ; but. on tlic con trary, support the general tranquillity, irately, and wettare, tt till all my power, and raaivt every 'thing that nay tend to di:tur balite or injury, and un altoceasions vonductrilyself asbecomes a good and peaceable cititen and inhabitant, without cutfering either favour or affection, hope of reward, fear of the loss a of probity or life, or any othei nituive to . iuce me to swerve from my duty."

Letters received here from his Majesty's stoop of war Racoon, Capt. Rathbone, mention that she has arrived at Barhadoet, after having, in the early part of her voyage, experienced very bad weather in crossing the Bay of Biscay ; and, in consequence of some heavy gales she afterwards sustained, has got into port very leaky, with some other damages, which, it is expected, will be soon repaired. DOVER, j) , k7R. 91. Upwards of 30 vessels have just put into this port for shelter; the greater part consists of colliers and other coasting vessels. Two 6f them have foundered at the entrance of the harbour, and ano ther is very much damaged by running against the South Pier head. . _ The passage-vessels cannot get out of either Bon logne or Calais, whilst the wind continues North.

A gentleman rocently returned from India, in forms us that the cause of the unfortunate conflict, in which the Persian Ambassador lost his life, was the jealousy of the Hindoo Sepoys, who composed the guard appointed to receive the Ambassador and his suite. These soldiers were selected on purpose, by order of the Governor-General, for the Guard of Honour to receive the Ambassador, being the tallest and best looking soldiers of the garrison. They were, however, of a religious cast, extremely rigid, and peculiarly jealous of the chastity of their women, to some of whom the officers of the Ambassador's suite had, attempted some gallantries. And this, on the very first meeting with the Hindoo soldiers, produced the conflict which terminated so unfortw tiately. - • _,, ~.. EGr Pr. The mission of Citizen Sebastian; to the shores of the Levant, the open, noble, and prompt man ner, with which he has terminated the differences that existed between his Government and the Bar bary States, the dignity which he has spread round his character, and the respect, which he has conci liated for the French name, and for the person of him who presides over his native country, his voyage to Suez, other objects equally glorious and useful, as is supposed, to the Chief who has sent him; all there considerations, it must be confessed, form a very striking contrast with the conduct of the English in the same countries, and present a just idea of the difference existing between two rival nations, one of which owes its strength and power to that spirit of commerce and calculation, remar! able even in its lofty political notions ; the other, to that spirit of heroism and bravery, which even in its commercial negotiations and speculations, recals the idea of its victories and military superi ority. Whilst the Minister Plenipotentiary of France to the Levant was visiting, like an able and un daunted negotiator, those countries, already filled with the French name, the English, never abandon-. ing their favourite system of deriving, from every event, from all circumstances, a pecuniary advan tage, a commercial resource, were positively charged with abetting the revolt of the • Heys, to enable themselves, with More facility, to dictate terms to the Sublime Porte. The frequent conferences of the En t , , lish Ambassador at Constantinople with the Reis Effendi (Minister fur Foreign Affairs), confirm this suspicion. Every circumstance leads to a belief, that England demands a very large sum fc,r the evacuation of Egypt ; it demands this sum as an indemnification of the expence of recovering this province, as if it bad been for the Sublime Porte that England had made the conquest of it. France ; therefore, pursues invariably its own sys tem, of negotiating with the powers of the Conti nent for the interests .of the Continent : The Calsi nets of St. Petersburgh, Vienna, Berlin Munich, maintain a very alive correspondence with that of the 'ffluilleries; the Court of London is not ob served to intermeddle in these relations, and this commencement of a new order of things in diplo macy, forms an epoch no less remarkable, per haps, than the Treaty of Westphalia. It is manifest that, in the present circumstances, the Porte neither can or ought to satisfy the Eng lish. The exhausted state of its finances obliges to sue for time ; and the situation of Egypt, a prey to vi6torious rebels, imperiously compels it to pre vent an evacuation that might be so fatal to this pro vince; for, it cannot be denied, that the Divan at this moment both fears and desires the presence of the English in Egypt. The latter, they say, cnndial themselves very well ; they observe a most rigid neutrality, and do not intermeddle with the affairs of Government; but they must abandon this neutra lity ; so far as the course of events is altogether fa vourable to them, it aids their policy admirably, and contributes moreover, to justify them in the eyes of other nations. This policy, however, which cannot remain at ways unknown ; these negotiations at Constanti nople—this neutrality adopted in Egypt, cannot satisfy France, which ought to regard t`.-cm only by their comevences. England yet occupies Malta and Egypt ; this is the fact, which in politics parti cularly ought to be more clear and more certain than arguments drawn from circumstances, or in tendons ill-understood, and sometimes suspected.— Citoyen Francois.)
