HANNURGH, JANUARY 18.

Accounts from St. Petersburg!) of the let Jams-
sty say, that from want of ►now the communication
with .the interior is for the most pert impeded, and
that this circumstance is a great hinderatice.to com-
merce, which is already in PO unfavourable a situa-
tion. In many of the provinces of Russia a want
off grain begins to be felt, so that several persons high
in office are gone thither in order to adopt such mew-
. surer as may be found necessary ; other accounts
from St. Pete►sbu►gh of the same day say, " A
tort of gloom still prevails here respecting the ques-
tion of peace or war. The inhabitants of this city,
as well as of the other cities of the empire, gene-
rally participate in ardent zeal for the cause of the
Greeks.
The accounts from Sweden likewise state that
from want of snow the bringing of Iron, ✓ltc. to
the sea ports is for the most part stopped.

BRUSSELS, JANUARY O.
Private letters froon Pails say that the Order of
Malta has the project to make itself master of an
island in the Archipelago, and there fix the seat of
its sovereignty ; but that its endeavours to obtain the
consent or the great Powers ale counteracted by
England.

ST. JOHN'S, JANUARY 3.

On entering upon a new year, and tendering
our friends Ind the public the compliments of the
season, we feel truly surly that we cannot do so un-
der better auspices than the present state of the trade
and our future prospects will warrant. When we
look back but to a few short years, and compare our
then flourishing commerce with the present, how are
we struck with the contrast ! at that period most peo-
pie appeared with a cheerful countenance, and none
but determined defaulters had reason to appre-
hend being brought into Court for debt ; but, at pre-
sent, how is the scene reversed ! poverty stares most
people in the face, many who felt themselves above
the range of want, are, at this time, reduced to a
state of indiger.ce and bankruptcy, and their families
to the utmost distress. To account for this change,
it is only necessary to recollect, that, during the
late war, we had the advantage of supplying, ex-
clusively, the foreign markets with fish. The French
and Americans could not then participate in the
catch of fish on our coasts, wh the subjects
of those countries are now supplied with provision.
at half the price it can be obtained for in New.
fouudland, independent of the bounties given by

both France and America to their fisheries =flare.
fore, it moot be impossible to compete with theta
et • foreign market. Something, as our content.
porairies have very justly remarked, must speeddy
be done to prevent the total unuihilation of our
fisheries in this island.

I

We feel, however, full assurance in the justice
and liberality of the British Government to 'Nile
the remedy, and we venture to suggest, that if our
ports were open for the importation of foreign
visions, and the inhabitants encouraged by liberal
grants of laud, to cultivate barley, oats, potatoes,
&c. in aid of their more immediate pursuits in the
fishery, and added to this, if the duties on runs WPC
laid out in the country, in useful impro►ernenGisid
charitable institutions, so as to give employment ia
some and relief to dthers, Newfoundland in
recover the shock she now feels so sensibly..

optioa offered him of either being sent on board the
Hind or giving up the money ; he acted upon the
latter, the amount being in bill.. On the follow-
ing day to that on which the money was restored,
the American Judges .nid, that if they had been
consulted, they would have contended against the
right of exacting the money from him in that couu-

to be given up. The Iliad is come into Ports-
mouth harbour.

The anniversary of Mr. Fox's birth-day was ce-
lebrated at Norfolk on Thursday last by a public
dinner. The assembly of Whigs on this interesting
occasion presented • most gratifying display of
rank, integrity, and talent ; it is therefore with
sinceie pleasure that we refer our readers to the ac-
count of the proceedings, which will be found in un.
other part of this Paper. Many of the topics which
have so much occupied the attention of ull the pub-
lic meetings recently held in various parts of the
country were again discussed at the Norfolk din-
Ter. The distress of the agriculturisia was la-
mented as a 'natter upon which no difference of opi-
nion could be entertained, and it was as unani-
muu►ly admitted that nothing but retrenchment in
tile public expenditure, and an immediate reduction
in the taxes, could save the lauded interests from
ruin. The assembly was honoured by the presence
of the Duke of Susasi, to whose admirable and
constitutional speech we refer our readies with a
mixture of pride and gratitude. The illustrious
nuke warmly exhorted the meeting to resist every
'/tempt that might be made to impose an Income
Tax upon the country.

rived at Stirling on Thursday. They ore on their

THEATRES.

OPERA-HOUSE.
This house was, extremely brilliant on Sauurday
night. The boxes were tilled with beauty ; the
ladies never appeared more elegantly dressed. In
the pit, which was crowded to inconvenience, were
many Noblemen end Gentlemen of distinction ;
Lord Easaims was amongst the number, and
seemed to be iu good health and spirits. The new
opera was repeated, and went off -very well.
DRURT-LA NE.
The tragedy of Othello was represented at this
theatre on Saturday night, Mr. KEAN playing /ago,

according to the announcement in the'bills, for the
last time. This determination must excite the last-
big-regret of every.aimirer of true dramatic genius.
who has tier witnessed the inimitable portraiture of
the cool, calculating. intriguing, deliberate villain,
by his masterly hand. He seemed to be in parti-
cular good spirits on Saturday, and the air of care-
less gaiety and jovial companionship with which lie
covered his real nature in his scenes with Roderigo ;
the smooth and plausible weruing of honesty,
with which he masked his wily schemes when work-
ing upon the noble and open.hesrted Moor ; and
the tremendoui occasional bursting forth of the de-
moniac prisious that raged within his bottom iti sums
of his soliloquies, were given in his best and hap-
piest style, sod elicited continued peals of an.
plaose from a highly-gratified and numerous au-
dience. Mr: COOPER was the Othello, and gained
considerable approbation. Mrs. W. Wsre• Des-
desiona was an enchantingly chaste and interesting
performance; sod Mrs. EGERTON displayed her
wonted energy and dtscrininistion in marking- the
distinctive traits of the character of t me/ia.
The interesting opera of Paul and Virginia was
revived for the afterpiece, aud seemed to afford
more gratification than any piece of is kind which
has for a long time been brought forward. It was
strongly and moat effectively cast, and the exertions
of all the performers were fairly and happily put
forward. The beautiful music of the piece was
charmingly sung ; the choruses and concerted pieces
in particular were delightfully executed ; and the
sweet duet, " See, from ocean rising," was perhaps
never heard to greater advsistege. It was rap-
turously encored, as were several of the songs.
