Several hundred Jews who ate of the' lage which makes them liable were taken, but tor this time only a part cat them, who are the fittest for service, have been retained. It is really n great advantage for the kingdom that the Jews also become soldiers, their numbers being so great that many Regiments may be formal of them. The Vistula has for some days brought down drift ice, but is not frozen over. For these two days we have had spring weather. FunSt 'nut MAINE, DEC. 19.—The Cross which u as set up ut Probsheide, in memory of the battle of Leipzig, has been wiclieslly sawed (Aland thrown tlown. The author of this deed had put two Loi.isi!lors into the box near it, with a note, de siring that it might be published in the Leipzig Papers.

COPIINHAGEN, ligc.2l:—Dr. Plum, the Bishop of Pesbnen, has received from the London Bible Assoch,ttion e by the hands of the worthy Clergy man, Mr. Henderson, a collection of translations of thr Whie in 20 elegant volumes. A person here has made this proposal, in order . to relieve the distress of the labouring class, to establish a Colony in the Nicobar islands, and to emnltiet It thither himself: The price of corn continues to rise, and affords the farmers great profit, for it. is, long since such a favourable circumstance, took place.

After these remarks 'we lMve.only to say, that the following important communication is derived from a respectable sourve'at .Brighton • " The deliberations of the Ministers are stated to have been coofined to the financial enlbarrnss• mews' of the French Government; 'and it was de cidedly negatived to allow . any indulgence in the time of , payment, and particularly the abandon ment of any line of Communication, with the Allied Armies, The other bnsinesvralated to prepara tions for the Meeting of ParliiMent, and the usual routine Cat official ippointruente." The 'Paris.,, epers of the Ist, received this morning,. aunonoce a . ►lcstruciive fire at Smyrna. This unlucky city was visited by the new misfor tooc on the 18th November. It broke out about tj o'clock of the Marniv, near the shore. By 7 it was raised to a great pitch by the wind blowin g hard,: and spread towards 'the north, where all the Foreign Canstils reside. In a Report of , the French Captain, Count 111G‘4;ABIllti, of the Ga lane, he describes ,the exertions of a party of seamen whom be landed with pumps, &c., .and who inspired the people to exertion so much, that by noon the fury'of the flames was subdued and the place saved. A Cotimercial Treaty between Rome and the Milted States is sKid to have been negociated by PINtKNCY. • A Circular of the following tenor has been iss i ue from the Russian Consulate in London " RUSSIAN CONSULATE OFFICE, " 24, Pavetucnt,Moorfirlcis, 48 (30) Dec. 181 a.

It is rather probable that Bristol miaadventores have tooted his eollreo so much as at least to prevent his experimentiri on untried ground. An Address to the Friends of the Poor will b found in a subsequent column. For these excel", lent and useful hints we have reason to believe, tho public is indebted to that constant and zealous pro• rooter of every benevolent purpose, Lord Frock, from whom we should consider it ingia" titude to withhold the honour of this just tribute.

We learn that letters reached town yesterday from St. Thomas's, Which mention the arriva l ! there of the active Patriot, Leader GREGOR MAC. GIIEGOR. The cause, assigned for his kiithilra 'w. ing himself from the cause of independence, is a quarrel between him and the Spanish Officers relative to the plans of operation. This wooltl augur. unfavourably for the success of the Patriots but we do not hear of any reverse which they have experiencod ; nor are we prepared to vouch fat the positive fact- of MACGREGOR'S. arribal at St. Thomas's, as the letters report.

' However the English prejudice may misrepre sent, his CATHOLIC MAJESTY reigns in the hearts . of his people, and what a Morning Puper, in its review of the transactions of 1816, said in irony, may (from every authentic testimony from Spain) be asserted in truth and jrtstice, " that Futtot- NAND presented to his Bride the affections of his subjects :"—it was a heavenly gift.
