the Austrian Court, has arrived at Vienna.
The Austrian Government has given notice to the city of Salz-
burg, that it is raised to the rank of a fortress of the first class, and
that the necessary sums are already assigned for the purpose of
erecting,the fortifications that will be required.

FROM 171 E LOWER ELBE.
According to commercial reports from Odessa. of the 4th of Au-
gust, the importation of corn front the interior of the country begins
to decrease, and the trade in that article was very slack, but it was
expected that several foreign ships would soon arrive, which would
give a little more animation to the market. betters from that place
say that both the town and neighbourhood had been visited by
swarms of locuits, which had devoured every tiling green in the
gardens and fields in a few hours.
Letters from Akkermann, of the 10th of August, say that the
Russian and Turkish Plenipotentiaries were then in that town :
the former had arrived on the 4th of August, the latter on the fol-
lowing day ; that the Turkish Commissioners were received with
all the honours doe to their rank, and that the magnificence of their
oriental costume had attracted universal attention. On the Eth of
August the first conference was herd ; on the 7th, the second ; and
on the llth, the third. The Turkish Commissioners always go to
the place of meeting in two coaches, drawn by 6 horses,,with 2 open
carriages for the Interpreters, and with a great train of domestics.
lIAMISURGH. SEPT. 5.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh, to 23d August, contain the fol
lowing particulars :
Our Journals contain an official letter from General Diebitach,
Chief of the General Staff, to the Military Governor of this capital,
dated Moscow, 16. h August, stating that their Imperial Majes-
ties are in very good health, and that on the 14th and 16th August
the Emperor had inspected the troops in and near the capital, and
exposed his entire satisfaction with their good appearance. With
respect to the day when the coronation of their Majesties will take
place nothing is yet determined, or at least nothing is positively
known in this capital. After considering the report of the Com-
mittee charged with the investigation of the late conspiracy, the
Emperor has dismissed Mr. Paul Kotosc'tin, Member of the Go-
remittent at Moscow, with the resolution never to empiny hint
tigain in the public service. We bear that several persons have
lately been arrested at Moscow.
Ills Majesty the King of Prussia arrived at Konigsberg on the
28th of August.

HAGUE, SEPT. 7.
We are sorry to say that the disorder at Groningen has not dimi-
nished. Not long ago there were 700 patients in the Military as-
nital, of whom, however, only one has died. It is supposed that
in the neighbouring elites, which arc in similar tireumstances, the
number of sick and of deaths wit in less in prorirtion. We learn
from Stettin that the Magistrates had put off the fair this year,
" on account (says the notice) of the extraordinary mortality now
prcvai'ing."

Accounts from Smyrna to the 4th of August state fur-
ther excesses committed by the Greek pirates.
Letters from St. Petersburgh state, that several persons
have been arrested in Moscow, upon a charge of being hn-
plieated in the late conspiracy.
Commercial letters from I)dessa, of the 4th of August,
state that the importation of corn from the interior of the
country began to decrease, and the trade in that article was
very slack, but it was expected that several foreign ships
would soon arrive, which would give a little more anima-
tion to the maaket. The town and neighbourhood of
Odessa had been visited by swarms of locusts, which had
devoured every thing green in the gardens and fields in a
few hours.

The accounts from Rio Janeiro are to the Bth July.
They furnish no intelligence from the seat of war in the
Banda Oriental. A little Court scandal is making a great
noise at Rio Janeiro. It is stated the Empress is highly,
dissatisfied with her Royal Consort respecting some family
arrangements, and also at the Royal decree lately issued
proclaiming the illegitimate daughter of the Emperor, by
the Viscountess s—, Duchess of Goyaz. The Empress
bad solicited permission to return to Europe, on a visit to
her family ; the request was peremptorily refuectl.—E ten-
ing Paper.
Letters from Carthagena, of the 7th of July, mention
that all was quiet at that date, and that no serious appre-
hensions were entertained for the safety of Colombia from
the intrigues of l'acz and his partisans. One cf tbe letters,
in describing Paez, says, " He is a weak man, and has
been urged on to what he has done through the intrigue
and disaffection of Da. Pens, who is a proscribed indivi-
dual, and a dangerous character. One of the principal
errors into which Pacz has fallen is in rating too highly
the abilities and powers of Dr. Pena and his party, in con-
sequence of which he has been made completely their tool,
and instigated by them to the acts that he has committed.
From Varinas, Cumana, and Maracaibo, not having joined
in the insurrection, and from the character of Dr. Pena,
he being known as an intriguant, and Pacz as a patriot, it
is not feared that any evils of consequence will happen to
Colombia. That Paez svi;l be punished by the order of
Bolivar there is no doubt ; but how far his waiting his
de-
cision as lie has cone, and not going to greater extremes,
may operate in his favour, is not known."
Although the account of the dispersion of the caravan
with which Major Laing was travelling through the Afri-
can desert was obtained through a high channel, still we
are not without hopes that that traveller has reached rim-
huctoo without injury. We have seen a letter, dated
Tripoli, June 18, which states that the Bashaw's Minister
of Foreign Affairs had communicated to the writer of the
letter the fact that Major Laing bad reached Titnbuctoo
" safe." No further particulars are given ; but letters
were expected at Tripoli from the traveller about the Sib
July.—Glacrow Courier.
So much is the want of fodder felt in the East Riding,
that a farmer, last week, in the neighbourhood of Beverley,
sold ninety sheep for nineteen shillings a head, which cost
him last year, at this time, twenty-nine shillings each, and
which ought to have fetched him from fifty shillings to three
pounds.—llun Advertiser.
