10th Sept. of which the following is an extract:—

adherents of the Janissaries, and all persons who had been noticed
on preceding occasions for their participation in rebellion and acts
of violence, a rigour which showed itself in numerous executions,

morning. The following are extracts:—

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 5.
On the 31st August tl'e Senate published a law, reducing the
Depot Duty (Niederlagsgehulir), hails. rio levied on various goods,
especially manufactures, from t I to 22 kreuzers per package, to
two kreuzers per cwt., and the toll on goods coming by water to be
transferred t other boats. wi.h.ott passing the port, from four
and six kreusers, to two kreuzert per cwt. on all goods without
distinction.
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Wurtemhurg has set out
to-day on a visit to Hamburgh. His Majesty the King of Bavaria
passed through this city yesterday morning, on hir way to Biehe-
rich, to pay • visit to the Duke of Nassau. It is said his Majesty
was to go to-day to Johannisberg.

The Atlgenkine Z.;lnv,' to the 7th inst. arrived yester-
day morning. Under dare of Augsburgh, Sept. 5, we find
an article from the Oriental Spectator, which, as u'ual,
represents the affairs of the Greeks to be in a most desperate
situation. From Frankfort, Stpt. 1, we find it f,tatttl that
the coming fair is likely to pass off much better than the
Easter fair did.

FRANKFORT. SEPT. I.
We cannot yet say any thing positive with respect to the lair.
We hear that several large sales of English tnattufsctures, espe-
cially woollens, have been made ; and it is added, and, under the
circumstances, is probable, upon reasonable terms. With respect
to wool, which in so many respects is one of the most impertant
articles at our fair, the result of the lute fair at Brunswick en-
courages the hope that the present fair will prove more favourable
than the lust Easter fair; and, notwithstanding the large supplies,
better prices are confidently expected. In general every thing in-
dicates that there is an improvement in the state of the money 11111 t.
ket, and in the commercial world, as it daily becomes clearer that
many apprehensions hitherto conceived had their source in a
troubled imagination. Nay, it seems as if the general despondency
which prevailed a few months ago, as well on the Continent as in
England, had been taken advantage of by many persons to gratify
their low passions of envy and ill will, and enjoy a malicious satis-
faction at the expense of others.

Extract of a letter from Tacna, near Arica, in Peru, by
a gentleman, a native of Dumfries, to his brother, dated
14th April last
Arica, I think, is the most miserable place on the face of the
earth ; upon my lite, I never saw human miry in perfection till I
saw Arica. I can scarcely describe it—l alsall attempt it. The
few bonus that are in it are built of mud, and some of them of
canes only ; the foundation in a dry sand ; the inhabitants a breed
between the Indians and negroes, called Satnbos. The town itself
retains the marks of Lord Cochrane's operations upon it. There
is an old church-yard in it, where several people who were killed by
Lord Cochrane, and others who hare died natural deaths, have
been thrown in ; but such is the nature of the ground, that the bodies
become quite parched up, and never decay, at least into dust ; and
kundreths of these bodies lie there quite exposed in this state.
Legs, arms, skulls, &c. with the skin on, quite burnt brown ! The
sight is horrible; anti if I mistake not, woli'd even astonish some
of the Edinburgh duetors. None of the merchants reside there,
but all in this place, which is about 14 leagues to the north-east of
Arica, in a stony valley, in which there are few cultivated spots.
The town is pretty decent, con,idering ; but the rum' between it
and Arica is a second edition of the great desert of Sahara—not
quite so extensive."

We have repeatedly called the public attention to the
necessity of having a hatbour of refuge for shipping on our
south-east coast, and pointed out Hawthorn f ive, near
Easington, as the most eligible site for that purpose. The
disastrous consequences which have followed the dreadful
gale of Wednesday and Thuraday last, strikingly show
the benefit that might acrrue from such a haven, and the
loss of lives and property that must be deplored without it.
The Esk, a fine large ship belonging to Whitby, employed
in the Greenland trade, and returning homewards well-
fished, has been totally lost near !Wear, and, we under-
stand, all hands have perished. La Sablaise, a small
French vessel, which had been at this port with oil-cake, and
was on her way back to Havre-tie-Grace with coals, was
lost on Wednesday night at the mouth of the Tees,
though the crew were fortunately saved. o:her shipwrecks,
we hear, have occurred on the same coast, of which we
have not yet been able to ascertain the particulars. We
would ask any practical man, any man of common under-
standing, if many of these melancholy catastrophes might
not have been spared, if the vessels had had any place of
refuge? We would appeal to any man possessing ordinary
feelings of humanity, whether knowing, this fact, every
exertion should not be made to procure such a harbour,
were it only to rescue our seamen from destruction. If we
are so early edicd on to record the loss of lives and pro-
perty from shipwreck, we may dread what is to follow be-
fore the end of the year.—Tyre Merury.
