thermometer never reached 50 degrees, and from
the loth to the 16th it was below the freezing point.

March. Pleasant ; but some colder mornings than in
the preceding month.—April. Pleasant ; with little
rain at titnes.—May. For the mostpart cold and un-
seasonable, with snow on the 1 eta and 17th. The
thermometer on the IPth was at 371, on the 21st it

The most remarkable distinction of this year is a
fail of snow in the middle cf May ; and the next is
the small quantity of rain, one third of which fell in
shine and July. The coldest day was the 13th of
January, and the hottest the 18th of August —The
general bill of mortality, from the 15th of Decem-
ber, 1801, to the 11th of December 1802, makes the

GHEZZA R AcHA has for a long time disclaimed
all dependence on the SIMI AN, and has far some
years withheld from him the stipulated revenues.
On the return, however, of the GRAND VtZIER to
CCOStantirorie, he entered into a convention with
the Paella of ACRE, by which G:,tzzAß rendered to
the Porte a part of these arre.srs; but he has again
thrown of all semblance of subjection, and has cap-
tured a French vessel trading to Tripoli, in Syria,
under faith of the treaty between France and Tur.
key ; and, asserting that he had not treated with
Pow A? a ail., confiscated the vessel, and threw the
crew into prison. The weak state of the Turk ren.
ders him unable to ;.fford the redress which will
doubtless be demanded, and this event, we fear, may
be made a ,pretext for the introducion of a French
force into Syria.
The riot at Glasgow on the 23d ult. arose frcm a
report that a dead body was concealed in the Col-
lege. All the rooms were immediately opened and
searched by the Magistrates, and the most perfect
assurances given that the body was not in the Col.
lege • nevertheless the mob proceeded to acts of
violence, bre .king most of the front windows, and
threatening to break into the buildings. On the
following day the people again assembled, and,
after the most daring attacks of outrage, were dis-
persed by the Magistrates. No person has been
materially hart. The University has since been
protected by a military force. Several persons have
been apprehended and committed to prison in conse-
quence of this outrage.
Early on Tuesday se'nnight in the morning, three
highwaymen, two on horseback, and one on foot,
robbed a post-boy belonging to Mr. Bulmer, of.
North:Wei-ton, of 11. 2s. as he was returning with
an empty chaise from Thirsk. One of them
(G.unble, a sailor, the person who was on foot) has
been since taken up for stealing a saddle; he has
confessed that it was their intention to have robbed
the North Mail at Martin's Folly, on its way North,
on the morning of Tuesday, but were deterred by
the guard being on the alert and blowing his horn,
and also some waggons with the drivers being
near.

On Monday se'nnight the Judges formed them-
selves into a Court of Error in Dublin, and, after
hearing some arguments, adjourned over until the
14th February next, on account of the indisposition
of Lord KILWAIMEIS.

A gentleman in a respectable mercantile house,
not long since married to a very amiable woman, ,
had of lac inhibited symptoms of mental derange-
ment, and particularly by writing an incoherent
letter to his partner, with whom he was in the
closest habits of intimacy, tequesting him to take
care of his-wife after he was gone ; the substance
of this letter was communicated to the lady, who
judged it right to watch narrowly the conduct of
her Intsband, fearing he had some design on his

VIENNA, DEC. 20.

Several jrnrrnals hare published, under the head
of Vienna, that his Majesty the Emperor had just
set at liberty, in pursuance to the treaty of Luneville,
the Jacobins of Vienna, who were confir.;:d in the
fortress of Mungatsch. It is true that the greater
number of those State criminals who had been tried
together and separately, by the Judicial Authorities,
and according to the existing laws, have recovered
their liberty ; bait for this favour they are solely in-
debted to the clemency and compassion of the
Monarch, who no longer considered them as for-
midable enemies to the State.

RATISBON, JAN. 18.

An Austrian courier, coming from Vic-..u, on
his way to Paris, passed by here this morning ; he
is supposed to be the bearer of instructions to the
Imperial Plenipotentiary and the Bohemian Minis-
ter, ordering them to adhere to the general Conclu-
sum of the Deputation.

The Ministers of the mediating powers transmit-
ted yesterday two notes to Baron Albini, to be com-

Elector of Treves, and the Prince-Bishop of Liege.

STUTGARD, JAN. 19.
