EFPECTS of the LATE STORM on SHORE. The devastations of the gale of Sunday on shore, have been very extensive. Scarcely a house in the three towns has altogether escaped injury. The streets on Sunday morning were found to be thickly strewed with slates blown from the roofs of the sur rounding dwellings, and almost every mason in the town was in requisition, to repair gaps which might have been increased to a serious degree, had the gale returned with the ensuing night. In this town the storm raged in all its fury. A piece of sheet lead, measuring 10 feet square, and weighing 1001bs., was carried horizontally from the top of a house at the back of Tavistock-street, into the court of Mr. Morris, of Fore-street, a distance of 60 feet, where it knocked some bricks out of a chimney, and fell to the ground. Part of the roof of the Town-Hall was carried away. The slating of Go vernment House also suffered. In Chapel-street a chimney fell with a tremendous crash into a room where two young men were asleep, but though they were for some time buried in the ruins, they provi dentially escaped with a few slight bruises. A large chimney . was thrown down in Coxworthy's court, Chapel-street. In the Dock-yard con siderable injury has been done to the roofs and chimneys. On one of the buildings a large quan tity of sheet lead was rolled up by the wind, with as much ease as if it had been paper. In the Gun-wharf a piece of lead, weighing 36 cwt., was ripped off the roo' of the No,.th Store, and thrown into the Canal. The Devonport Column, although seated so high, received no damage, but the persons residing near it, describe the roaring of the wind through the iron balustrades at the top to have been truly terrific—resembling a loud continued shriek, which might at all times be perfectly distinguished above the howling of the gale through the streets. — A number of chimneys and roofs were damaged at stoke and Morice Town. At Torpoint a chimney of the King's Arms Inn, fell foto a room where a man and his wife were in bed, bat they fortunately escaped uninjured. In Storehouse, a pinnacle of the tower fell through the roof into the body of the edifice, and effected so ranch damage, that no divine service was performed in it on Sunday. In Plymouth, one of the chimneys of the Work house fell through the roof into a room, in which . were nx poor women, only one of wham was injured, and that but slightly in the knee, though the bricks, 2zc., fell upon three of the bedsteads, and broke one of them. The chimney of a house in Bedford -street, belonging to Mr. Huxhaw, was blown down and injured the whole of the premises very considerably. The roofs of the barracks in the Garrison were much injured. - - • The damage at:Kingsland and Cawsand is very serious. One house was entirely blown down, and some of the inmates bruised. At Mount Edge cumbe, upwards of one hundred trees were laid level with the ground ; at Tothill, near Plymouth, about forty ; and the woods at Saltram, Radford, Hooe, and many other places, present undeniable proofs of the ravages of this calamitous storm.—Dr? , onport Telegraph. The menagerie of his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD, Woburn Abbey, was entered in the night of Thursday week, and several gold and silver pheasants and a large black swan (which was highly valued by the Duke, and was a general favourite on recount of its remarkable tameness) were stolen therefrom. —B. ucks Chronicle. Bowness, the supposed Rival of Allonby.— On Friday last,. 2501„ per acre ;vas offered and refused for one acre of land situate near Bowness, to build upon. Other lands and houses have risen in proportion (hiring the last three years.— Carlisle Journal. Qn Sunday afternoon, ALEX. EDGELY, a blacksmith in Dunse, was found dead on the moor be tween Longfoi ruacus and Danskin. It is supposed he had perished from the extreme cold.—Berwick Advertiser. A letter from Newcastle, dated yesterday (Thursday) evening says,—" We have experienced, fm' the greater part of the last 24 hours, very stormy weather; the wind blowing rather hard from the eastward up to 12 P.m., and a heavy fall of snow taking place at the same time. It is much to be apprehended that the marine in telligence on the eastern coast will prove of a disastrous complexion in consequence of this storm.—Durham Advertiser. FE V Ex.--`fie regret tile having to state, upon ;nforrnation from Athy, that contagious fever prevails in that town. The effects of this severe visitation of distem per ere already felt in the death of several respectable inha bitants. —D üblin Patriot. IRON TRADE.—We are glad to hear that the workmen in the Staffordshire iron-works are well employed, and are obtaining good wages. The demand for iron is good, though at low prices.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. . SILK TRADE.—We regret to inform our readers that there are now, in the township of ilfaccks field, the following unoccupied property:— Empty Houses 920 Ditto Factories lb 9 ,. Ditto Rooms in do 644 We have not y g t been able to obtain a return► from the ad joining townships of Sutton and Hurdsfield, which com prise the remainder of the town of Macclesfield. We believe we may safely add that, during the last two years, there have not been more than twenty new houses built in Macclesfield. These observations we are compelled to make in reply to the various and erroneous reports which are afloat, relative to the state of trade in this neighbourhood, and in confirmation of the position which we have uniformly sustained, that the " Free Trade" system, however eulo gized by a party, has proved ruinous to this town, and unless .some corrective he administered will ultimately banish the ,Silk Trade from the c ountry.-11facelesfield Courier. We regret to state that the Hawk, MUNRO, which .sailed from Greenock, on Wednesday, for Demerara, was lost no the following night, during the snow storm, on the south-east point of the Isle of Bute. The crew got ashore alive, but so benumbed with cold that two of them have since died.— Glasgow Courier. RESURRECTIONISTS.—SeveraI of these gen try have been lately prowling about in this neighbourhood; and last week they stole the body of an elderly female, which hail been interred on Sunday se'nnight, from Wal sall burial ground.—LicMeld Mercury. At the Westmoreland Quarter Sessions, a man was accused of incest with his own daughter, a girl about nineteen years of age.

Total DYSART, JAN. 7, 1828.—The inhabitants of Dysart have of late been somewhat amused by the novel occurrence of a man with a beard of most patriarchal length "holding forth" to them in an old barn. He at first called himself a "converted Jew," although it has since been , ascertained that he is a Highlander from Argyleshire, and not a Nazarite from Judea. A hearer a this Apostle (for h e pretends to have received a commission directly from God) --a knight of the order of the needl e and thimble , star tled at hearing some of his ueighbours saying that the man with the beard did not preach sound doctrine, ex- , claimed, ,c If yon bi nna soon d d oc trine, I dinria k en w h a t you ca' world- doctrine, for -I lookit up every passage 0' Scrip ture that he cited, an' they were a right except ane that l didna mind."—Fife Herald. A PRODIGY.—Those who believe in 'well_ authenticated stories, may place implicit reliancorin the following :—There is now in Warrington a boy ten years of age, who is thus particularly signalized ; on the white of one eye is to be seen in legible characters, .‘ T. SMITII," and the year of his birth is marked on the other. He has been taken about as a show, accompanied with a cer tificate, vouching these things to be preternatural, signed by several medical men. We may add that this astonish ing youth is a natural child, and that the father, before birth, said he would not Own him as his, if his name were not written on his forehead: Though we may claim the privilege of scepticism, we caution our readers from enter -tabling any doubt of this statement offucts,—/lfacelesfiekl Courier. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. - ----.--- - (From the Moniteur.) New Ministers have been' called to the Govern ment by the confidence of the King. A general disposition is shown to believe in their purity of intentions, their devotedness to the Prince, and their respect for the Charter. People without diffi culty acknowledge in them some capacity for affairs; but it is asked if, taken as a whole, they correspond with the state of the country ? and in looking on one side at their names, and on the other at the lists of the Legislative Chambers, some doubts are raised regarding an agreement, without which all the rest is no - ling. The opinions which have reached its respecting the composition of the elective chamber, are too incomplete to admit a possibility of forming, with re gard to it, a definitive judgment. Nevertheless we must acknowledge that this Chamber is divided into several fractions which differ among themselves both in number and opinions. .In such a state of things, the formation of the Council must have created serious embarrassments. It was necessary to inquire what body of men could offer the certainty of a parliamentary majority, the first necessity of a Const►tutional Government. Some persons had conceived the idea of a mixed Ministry the members of which should be chosen /lot only in parties of different opinions, but even in parties of contrary opinions. This project, examined with attention, offered no reasonable hope of success ; other plans were successively produced, but all were surrounded with difficulties of different natures. What was to be done in such a case ? To set aside both names and figures and all calculators of this kind, and to look for success in things them selves. It became necessary to ask from the majority of the country, the majority in the Chambers. The desire of the majority of the country does not attach itself to combinations of proper names more or less dexterously conceived. What it asks before all things, and above all things, is a firm and mode rate Ministry, prudent in its plans of conduct, and sincere in their execution. What is of importance to it is, that the Ministry should know how on the one hand to secure respect for the dignity of the Crown and the Royal authority, without which there is neither protection nor safety; and, on the other, to maintain the loyal and frank execution of the charter. A Ministry which shall.march in this path with a firm step,—which will acknowledge no power but legal power—which shall busy itself with our institutions only for the common interest of the throne and the citizens,—which shall seek salutary advice and repel nothing but dangerous principles and pretensions, unjust or exaggerated,—such a Ministry need not trouble itself ill making calcula tions to obtain a Parliamentary majority. That ma jority will come to it. The Administration newly formed will address itself to honest men—to the sincere friends of the King and the Charter. It will show them with frankness and freedom the road in which it desires to march, and will propose to them to follow it, at the same time enlightening it. It will ask no favour for itself—it will demand justice for its acts; and in the two French Chambers, whose meeting ap proaches, it will be sure to find it. There is no doubt it will still have adversaries, and even enemies. The second day after its forma tion it was subjected to a tax at least premature. It must not be alarmed at them. In Prance we are clear sighted, and the country cannot long be abused. Oppositions which should have other mo tives than the general interest would soon be judged and condemned. (From the Gazette de France, dated Saturday, Jan. 19.) BERLIN, JAN. 10.—The State Gaut& of this date contains the following article :-- •t' In order to remove all doubts that may arise respecting the manner in which Prussia has acted in the negotiations which have taken placq at Con stantinople in consequence of the Treaty of London of July 6, we are authorized to publish the following translation of the instructions given on the 17th of August to the first interpreter of the Prussian lega tion for the declaration which he was ordered to make to the Reis Effendi, adding, for the informa- tion of our readers, that the Prussian Minister at Constantinople has not ceased, up to the end of the negociations, to act in the spirit of those instructions, and with the same zeal. TRA.NSLA'TION OF TIIE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN TO ONE OF THE DRAGOMANS OF THE. PRUSSIAN LEGATION, DATED AUGUST 17. " You will go to-morrow to the Reis Effendi, and mill nialse to him from me the following communi cation : _ _ " In a memorial delivered to the Sublime Porte on the 12th of March, this year, at the moment when the representatives of France, England, and Russia, had just communicated to the Protocol of April 4th, 1826, I developed with frankness, and. without the least reserve, the considerations which ought to determine the Sultan to accept the means offered to him for the pacifiecition of Greece. I have represented these means as the only possible source for preventing the crisis which its friends endea voured to spare it, and the consequences of which might be incalculable. Lastly, having exhausted all the arguments which were in favour of the adoption of the proposals of the Allied Courts, I have not dissembled to his Excellency the Reis Effendi my sincere conviction that even an absolute refusel on the part of the Divan would make no change what ever in the Protocol signed by the Powers; and that in the end, imperious neceas,ity would impose upon Europe, the obligation to cut the knot which friend ship and good-will had endeavoured to unloose. " Insead of profiting by these salutary proposals, which the Porte received at the same time from its real friends, the Divan, exaggerating to itself its own resources, has thought fit to reject the counsels of friendship. it has riot considered either the desires, the alarms, nor even the real wants, which have been laid before it; and by opposing to a lung series of actions, dictated by kindness and regard, a series of refusals, they have forced three great Powers to seek for means to provide, in another manner, for the tranquillity of Europe. " Thus the Protocol of the 4th of April last year has been followed by the Treaty of the 6th of July i this year. Thus new refusals and new events will lead to new combinations, new dispositions, and new measures, till the Porte shall acquire the con viction and the pacification of Greece, which is ab solutely neeessary to Europe, is so in a still higher degree to the Ottoman Empire in particular. Thus ' the Porte, by persisting in rejecting the just and conciliatory propositions which have hitherto been made to it by the three Courts, will force the latter to consult only their interest, their power, and their Then the affair will take another turn; condi- ' digni ty. tions will succeed to offers,necessity will put an end to regard, and force will triumph over a resistance which reason and friendship have in vain endeavoured to sub doe. This future turn is as near and inevitable as it is gloomy and alarming, if the Porte persists in disdaining the counsels which its friends give to it for the last time. It is still time to avert the imminent dangers which have been drawn upon the Ottoman empire, by reiterated refusals to yield to the neces sity which every day becomes more urgent. Yet time presses, events proceed, and it would not be the first time that the rapidity with which they suc ceed would have led to combinations which the most upright policy of the Cabinets could neither for e see nor prevent. May the Divan then accept the proposals which the representatives of the Courts of France, England, and Russia made to it in their joint note w hi c h they yesterday p resen ted to it ! May it t a k e th e helping band whi c h i ts f r i en d s h o ld out to it, meet their overtures with confidence, and be at length convinced that the only means of se curing its rights, its interests, and its dignity, from every violation, would be to receive with good will and cordiality proposals which have no other object than to put an' end to a state of things which be. 7 comes absolutely incompatible with the true inte- rests of the Porte, the security of commerce, and the perfect tranquillity of Europe. " His Excellency the Reis Effendi is not ignorant that Prussia has not signed the treaty concluded at London on the Gth of July this year. This circum stance ought to be an additional guarantee to it of the impartiality and disinterestedness which cha racterize the advice that, by the express orders of the King our august Sovereign, I lay before him on this important occasion. Prussia has not changed in any respect its disposition towards the Divan, nor will it change them ; but it desires what its allies desire,—it desires the object which France, Great Britain, and Russia have proposed, by seeking to secure peace both within and without the Otto man empire, that of stopping a deplorable effusion of blood, of preserving Christian people from de struction, and of removing the elements of disorder and division, which have already too long threatened the reposeof Europe. I therefore, for the last time, beg the Turkish Ministry no longer to deceive itself're specting the position of the parties. It must now know the desires of the three Powers who have signed the treaty. It cannot be ignorant that these Powers possess all the means necessary to realize them; but it ought to understand at the same time what fate the Porte prepares for itself, if it obstinately persists in rejecting the warnings, the counsels, and even the entreaties of its friends. _ " You will deliver to his Excellency the Reis Effendi an authentic copy of these instructions."

BRUSSELS, JAN. 16.—1 n a preceding number we have spoken of the proclamation of his Excellency the Commissioner-General to the inhabitants of Java. The following is a translation of this docu ment, just published in the Batavian Gazette of the 6th of October " In the name of the King, the Viscount Leonard, Dubus tie Gisignies, Commissary-General of the possessions of the Netherlands in the East Indies : " To the People of Java,—Two years have passed since the deplorable war broke out, in consequence of which so many fine parts of the residences of the Sultans have been ravaged, and of which so many of your countrymen have been the victims. " It is with grief and compassion that we see this war continue, because we love the Javanese people, and we desire nothing more than to live as in the times of our ancestors in tranquillity and peace. A great part of you, listening to the voice of a mutinous priest, have taken arms against their lawful prince and governor. They cherished the chimerical idea that religious worship was in question. See what has become of most of those unhappy people ! They have been obliged to quit their homes and their domestic relations; driven from place to place, they wander as fugitives in foreign lands, where they must procure the necessaries of life by rapine and pillage, and for the most part die a cruel and miserable death : their houses are destroyed; their fields laid waste. Look, on the other band, at your countrymen who, submissive to the legitimate authority, have re mained quiet. They have not ceased to enjoy do mestic happiness ; they have the protection of the chiefs and of our warriors; they preserve the entire _ _ ..... liberty of their religious worship; their plantations of rice are cultivated at the regular periods ; they are in prosperity, and have abundance. It would not have been difficult for us, by means of our own force, and it would have been still less so, supported by the efficacious assistance of the Great Emperor of Socracarta as of our faithful Allies the Sultans of Madura and Sumanah, to reduce the insurgents and to punish their rebellion ; but we have spared them, because we love the Javanese people, and because most of them had been misled by their insti gators. It is for that reason, and solely out of love to the nation, and attachment to the country which it inhabits, that very recently, when a considerable force was ready to crush the party of the insurgent, we gave to Krai Modjo, who ap peared to have placed himself at their head, are op portunity to .make peace, and' to return to obedienee, • and to spare the lives of so many unfortunate people; but it is now notorious, and all the people of Java ought to know it, that the priest Krai Modjo has desired to act, not for the cause of religion, but for his own sake,—not for the interest of the Javanese, but of himself,—by making demands which we never could have granted without humiliating all the Sul tans, the great men, and the priests of Java, and violating the precepts of your religion. And as it is far from us to do or to suffer any thing which may in jure the faith of your ancestors, as well as the honour and dignity of your Princes, the great men, and the priests, we are therefore obliged to recommence the war, and to punish that rebel. But it is against him alone and his adherents that the attacks of our troops will be directed. You, too, who have remained under the legitimate authority, and you, also, who return to it, as well as so many others of your coun trymen who have acknowleged their errors, and come back to their Prince and Sovereign,—you will all be considered and treated as friends and allies, by our troops; and all those who shall come to submit to their Prince, and place themselves under our stan dards, may depend upon faithful and continued protection. c' Thus, then, all you who have at heart the pro sperity of your country, the fate of your wives and children, and the maintenance of your religion, are called upon to join the banners under which we fight for your country, your relations, your interests, and the peaceful maintenance of your religion. And the God Qf us all,—the God of armies,—the God of peace, will second our efforts. (Signed) " Viscount DUBUS de GISIGNIES. " Salatiga, Sept. 26, 1827." FRANKFORT, JAN. 14.—The convocation of the States-General of Prussia is spoken of more • than ever. The Provincial Assembly of Posen having terminated their first session, all the Diets of the Prussian provinces have now met. Private letters from Berlin affirm that this subject has been again brought before the Council of. State.—Brussels Papers, Jan. 19. Thursday night the entire City was enveloped in darkness—the prospect rendered, if possible, more dreary by the inclemency of the atmosphere. This unexpected occurrence was attributable to the derangement of part of the machinery in the Gasometer, the purifier having be come corroded.—Limerick Paper. CITY—SATURDAY EVENING.—A List of the Ministry has been published this afternoon as the au thentic one, which gives the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer to Mr. GOULBURN, that of Home Secretary to Mr, pEr 1., the Board of Controul to LordMELvtu.r, and the Mint to Mr. Irlxanins. In other respects the arrangements do not materially differ from the list which we gave yes terday. So far as we Lave been able to collect public opi nion in the City, we must say, without pretending to give an opinion of our own on the subject, that the preceding Ministerial arrangement is by no means popular. It is true that some of the great capitalists appear to be satisfied with it, but even they say, that several of the arrange ments will be only temporary. No one, whether Whig or Tory, appears to like the idea of the Duke nfWzr.r.nraTox being Premier and Commander-in-Chief. Th e Whi gs , in particular, are highly indignant at these two Most import ant offices in the State being held by, one individual. They designate the Duke as Civil and Military Commander in-Chief--and say, with the Army at his beck, his Grace's Government will indeed be. a "strong" ODD- But there is one appointment which leads people to doubt the authenticity of the list. No one can believe that Mr. GocLutr itN is gie Chancellor of the Exchequero3r th a t Mr. HERRIES would have given way to make room for an indi-' vidual w h o nine be infinitely less quali fied to fill the office than him se lf. Then, again, the alleged appointment of Lord MELVILLE, though not considered improbable, s ee ms to meet with the approbation of scarcely any body. -It is said, that though the Dukeof WELLINGTON Will be Premier, yet he will not trouble himself with 'any but the ma r e itnport ant duties of the office; the details of business b e in trusted to Mr. PEEL. '1 he patronage, however, it is added,' will be entirely at the disposal of his Grace. If this be true, the Duke of WELLimu'row,as Commander4n-Chi e f a nd Premier, will be the most powerful man in the nation with respect to patronage,. the King himself not excepted. It is reported that Lord LONDONDERRY will be Lord Lieute nant of-Ireland.—Morniny Herald: YEICKSOF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock ' !10 01‘ Swutli Sea Stock 3 per Cent.

Having constantly and steadily supported the principles of Mr. CANNING, it was witl► un feigned regret that we witnessed the disso- lution of a Cabinet which comprehended so many of his friends, and we were filled with gloomy anticipations of the future, when it was announced that a complete and radical charge of men and measures was about to take place. But luckily our fears have prove 4 visionary, and we sincerely hope that a spirit of liberality will continue to pervade the Councils of this nation. If it be asked, oh what grounds these expectations are formed, we would say that it is on conviction of the utter impossibility of any other principles being acted on in the present age. The days of jobbing must be over for ever, and we do believe that no men among their political opponents are more free from such a charge, than, the two most influen tial members of the Tory Party, we mean the Duke Of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL ;--and' in the character of Mr. HUSKIS- ; sON and his Friends we have a farther gua 7 rantee, that no departure horn those principles will take place whilst they continue in Ad ministration. Indeed, as to Free Trade, we suspect that Mr. PEEL goes as far in his views as even 'Mr. liusicissoN himself. But whilst we profess our intention of sup porting the measures of the present Administra tion, on the grounds which we have shortly stated, let not the Catholics for a moment suppose that we shall ever desert their cause, or cease to advocate it by every means in our power. Theirs is no Cabinet Question, but it is a consolation to think that they can still reckon half of the Cabinet as their friends, and that half would be deficient in :be sincerity and principle for which we give :hem credit, if they permitted foul play or any thing but the strictest impartiality towards a .cause in which . are involved the deepest interests of the Empire. We cannot, however, conclude without ex pressing our unqualified contempt for the con duct of a Cotemporary, who, in announcing the new Cabinet, has thought fit to vilify Members of that Administration, to which but a few days since it offered the most extravagant adulation. But even the " Vicar of Bray" died at length, and without pretending to the spirit of prophecy, we perceive i❑ our Cotemporary every symptom of approaching dissolution. The French Papers of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are more important than usual. The Moniteur of Thursday contains an article marked by sound sense and manly feeling, being an appeal to the French nation in favour- of. the new Ministry. The tone of this article is at once moderate and firm, relying upon the good sense of the people for an impartial opinion on the conduct of the Government, - who wish to be judged by their acts rather than their professtons. . But as professions ma y serve as an index to their future acts, the Government manfully avow themselves loyal to the. KING and friendly to the Charter, whose spirit they intend to enforce in all their measures. , The very modesty of this appeal be speaks confidence in their favour. Men" who intend to depart from the strict line of duty, would be loud in their protestations of o n t t e ex elusive loyalty and unrivalled- patriotism. But to meet it here the very reverse, we trust, is the fact. The t e u r s s t are enc opposition they opposition withhecoming fortitude. The Charteris their lead ing star—in its light they are determined to march with a firm step--whicli will acknowledge no t iVi he i y ni m s power but legal power—which shall busy itself with our institutions only for the common inte rest of the throne and the citizens,--whi c h shall seek salutary advice and repel nothing but dan rgerous principles and pretensions, unjust or ex aggerated,--such -it Ministry need not trouble itself in making 'calculations to obtain a Parlia , inentiry Majority. That majority will come to it. It i in'this strain that the new Administration will 'address itself to the honest men—to the sincere friends of the KING and the Charter; and so far as modesty and pretensions go, we think —indeed, we hope—it will not appeal in vain. On Thursday M. COUCHOIS LEMAIR E was sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment, and a fine of 2,000 francs, for the libel on the tjUlce Of ORLEANS. The publisher was sentenced to three _mouths' imprisciment, and a fine of 500 francs. It appears by instructions given to one of the Dragomans of the Prussian Legation at Constan tinople, dated the 17th August, that the Court of Prussia, though it was no party to the Conven- tion of the 6th July, yet acted up to the true spirit of that important document. Had Austria been equally generous, we might even add just, the question. of Greek Independence would have been long ere this settled to the satisfaction of all parties. Extracts will be found in another column. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 14th inst. has been received. It tends to confirm the re ports of a new levy of recruits in Poland, and other matters of a warlike nature ; but these may be only precautionary measures. On the. 16th Dec. the harbour of Odessa appears to have been covered with ice : AUGSBURGH, JAN. 13. A Journal contains the following article from the Polish rontiers, dated Jan. 2 : " A new levy of recruits throughout the whole kingdom has been ordered, in conformity with the Constitution, for the purpose of augmenting the reserve battalions and squa-I drons to their full complement. The frontier fortress of Zamorze, which, after the enlargement and completion of its works, may be compared with Mantua, is being sup-' plied with all necessary stores. Large magazines are form ing, whence the prices of corn continued to rise in conse quence of the purchases made both by Government and speculators.

VIENNA, JAN. 9, M. de Degrange, first interpreter of the French Lega tion at Constantinople, has arrived here ; he left that city on the 14th December, and travelled by the way of Bu charest, and was every where treated on his journey with the greatest respect.

News having been received from Odessa, that the har bour was covered with floating ice, and that a ship had even been lost in consequence, M. Ribeaupierre, tired of long delay, resolved to go to the Sea of Alarmora; after his two colleagues, who intended to stop a fortnight at Vourla, and carried his purpose into effect without any obstacl e . _ _ M. Franchini, his chief interpreter, and the persons at tached to the Legation, wait for a favourable wind to go to Odessa. After M. Ribeaupierre's departure, M. Franchini caused the Russian► Arms to be taken down from the hotels in Pera and Bujukdere, which appeared the more extraordi nary, as the English and French Ambassadors had left the Arms at their Hotels. The most complete tranquillity prevails here, notwithstanding the great armaments, which however , seem to be in some degree paralysed by the pacific party of the great men of the empire and iu the Divan. The Sultan himself exerts all his efforts to conimunieate to every body his own energy. The following extracts, from the Nuremberg Correspondent of the 17th inst., are of a corn- mercial nature : UREMBURG, JAW. 12. We received the following commercial intelligence from Rhenish Prussia. According to an authentic list of the goods which passed Cologne up and down in the course. •f last year to the end of November, the total amounts to above a million cwt. During that time there were brought from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dort, and Antwerp, 500,737 cwt. ; and from the Upper Rhine, the Maine, the Neckar, Moselle, and the Lahn, 558,658 cwt. Tak ing the goods brought up the rivers as imports for the con sumption of Germany, and those coming down as exports, there is an excess of 58,000 cwt. in favour of the latter. With respect to the value, the balance would probably not be so favourable. For among the imports there ars 168,784 cwts., of sugar, including 4,796 cwt. raw sugars. Coffee was 103,634 cwt. ; then tobacco 45,743 cwt. ; cotton-19,397 cwt. ; spices are the smallest amount, viz. 73 cwt. Among the exports, corn and wine are the most im portant articles, viz. rye 118,536 cwt. ; barley 68,356 ; wheat 42,257 ; and wine 170,131 cwt. ; glass and glass goods 16,730 cwt. ; iron goods only '775 cwt. ; and ma nufactures of cotton, &c. 1,083 cwt. The exports of wool by this channel were 6,361 cwt. ; and of oil 979 cwt. If we consider Cologne as the chief staple for the Ger man import and export trade by the Rhine, this view of the result, in the course of last year, may be considered as important in a political and commercial view. Lisbon Papers to the 13th inst. have been re ceived, but they do not contain one paragraph worth extracting. American Papers to a late date have been re ceived, but their contents possess no interest in a political point of view. A Bill is said to have p c a a s r s o e l c i l na te , h by Hous av e ote of o Ass f 71einbly of South against 42, prohibiting the instruction of persons of colour in reading and writing. If this be really so, we must lament the little progress which learning has made among the members of the Assembly,—certainly it has taught them no charity.
