Mr!

of 9y7,19S rubles, wet extortea frem Riga to

bw Jden,
. • l'he following' litter fromthe Dueley of Tersen,
dated the 20th, contains• a curious case of a man
%vh., had been friltAt aratently to death, and under
.• such circumstances as tend to convince us that no
one, in that situation, 'should be given over, however
hopeless the symptoms may appear.
a From the 7th to the 10th, we hid here so in-
tense a cold, that several persOns were frozen to
death. Among others, was a certain shoemaker, a
, citizen of Vetertoff, in the precina of Visselhovede,
who had repaired hither to buy leather, and set
out the 9th, at five o'clock in the evening ; but
he lost his way in the snow, and became so fati-
gued by traversing it, that he was obliged to lie
down to rest himself, when the cold put a ptriod
•to his further career. The 10th, in the morn:
ing, at five o'clock, he was found quite stiff, with-
out any exterior signs of life, and the skin from
his knees to the calf of his legs, was quite black.
He was, however, ordered to he taken to the•house
of a medical man in this city, who pursued the ap-
propriate means in such cases till six o'clock in the
evening with a meritorious perseverance ; when, at
length, this apparent corpse awaked as from a
dream, regained the use of his faculties and limbs,
and marched off in perfea health."

LONDON,
TUESDAY, NlArtot 15.

Paris papers 6f the 11th, received yesterday, take
no notice of out warlike preparations ; nor do they
afford the slightest reason to suppose, thr. any inti-
mation of them, which the French Government
vizi-A have received upon that day, had transpired.
—The funds had fallen to 61 fr. 25 cts. ; but the
depression hasbten gradual, and is not, by any means,
so great as might be expeded from the sudden and
seriouschange in our proceedings. The official Paper
states the arrival of General Bat' E, a: Constantino-
ple, on the '2lst of January, and the departure of Lord
ELGIN, upon the same, day, on his return to Eng-
land. The CArrAirt PAnitA is stated to have been
in daily expeetation of news or the evi.cuation of
Alexandria; but, according to letters received yes-
terday by the Dutch Mail, that event wos not ex-
pedied to take place until the convention nogociated
for the Boys should be carried into effeEt—k trans-
taion which, it was sup F.sed, would occupy three or
four months. An expedition was preparing to sail
fiom Brest, on the 2d, for the Indies.

Two Messengers arrived yesterday, at Twelve
o'Clock, from Parisi their arrival was scarcely an-
nounced in tilt: City, when the Funds fell more than
an L.df per cent. We cannot, however, suppose
that this was in consequence of the nature of the
cll,patches which they brought having trarspired.
'Easy were the subject of much speculation La
night, but all observations upon them at present
only deserve to be considered as mere conjature.

The statement male by Lord CASTLERLAGI4 last
night, in the House of Commonc, upon East India
affairs, must inspire us with confidence in the safety
f our possessions in that quarter, should a war un-
fortunately break out. It appears that tile Indian
army, including natives, &c. amount to 101,'200
men. The debts of the East India Colqpany, now
amounting to 19,(XX),0001. his I.rdship Ltated, will
be extinguished in ti•ve year.i ; and pert year the
Company will be ;ble to contribute 500,0001. to the
public service.

An interestin,-; conversati,►n took place, I.llt night,
in the House of Lorcic, upon the :e,:ort,i reading of
the Bill for settling the a:%►irs 02' his Royal High-
ness the Pult4cE of Witi.fl;.

Lord kErTII, according to repwc, is to have the
command of the Channel Fleet. His Lordship, ac.

comp aied by his Secretary, left town ycsterdey, at
eleven o'clock, for Plymouth.

An Officer arrived on Sunday with dispatches
• from Malta, at Lord Ha wirer nv 's office, Downing-
Street.
The French Ambassador had an audience yester-
day at Lord HAMELSIPAY'S Office.
We understand,. that there is no doubt but that
the Call of the House will be enforced ou Thursday,
if there should be an insufficient number of Members

present to b:dlot for tam-Committees.
Last night in the House of Commons the Loan
MAYOR deferred his motion upon the ship-owners'
petition till Wdresday fortnight, in consequence of
the present situation of affairs.
Mr. PIGOTT yesterday made his general reply be-
fore the ('othmittce appointed to try the merits of
the Nottingham elation. Having concluded, the
Committee adjourned. The t'Aammittee rent to-
morrow, for the purpose of considering the whole of
the evideuec.
