BAMBURGH, MARCH 29.
'Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of the 15th
March say, that the American Company has re-
ceived information of the breaking out of a dread-
ful volcano which opened at the beginning of
March, last year, in'ihe Island of Umnak, one of
the Aleutian islands, and on its first irruption,
which was very violent, covered Oonalash's% and
even some more distant ',lands with sand, soot,
and ashes.
le consequence of the numerous shipwrecks which
have taken place during the late storms, above 100
dead bodies have Wet) cast on shore, on the coast
of Jutland.

TRAHRFORT, MARCH 91.
The Austrian state paper fell all at once very
cm.siderably on the 25th, without any cause being
I,uhlicly known. It was affirmed that one of the
List banking-houses of this city received a courier
tram Yoram+, who got out of his carriage before lee
uttered the city, in order not to attract notice, and
(list the chief of the above house proceeded by a
c-iicuituus way to the residence of the Austrian At..
t,s.sider (President of the Diet), and immediately
divatched couriers to Hamburgh, Paris, and Am-
sterdam, hence it was inferred that the hope of pre-
setvitig peace in the eon was greatly diminished,
it was thought no certain opinion could be
t .retied till the arrival of the post from Vicuna, the
da hefore yesterday, when we learnt the arrival of
couriera trom Constantinople with the new, of the
rejection of the Huainan Vhimatast by the Porte.

LONDON.
TUESDAY. APRIL 9, 1822.

Paris Papers of Friday, relying upon the
character of their intelligence from Vienna and
-other parts of Germany, continue to speak of a war
in the East u certain. They do not, indeed, an-
nounce the actual declaration of war, or the encoun-
ter of the hostile armies; but they notice the for-
midable state of preparation in which both parties
are to be found, and veuture even to communicate
some of the instructions which the Porte is said to
have issued to the advanced divisions of the Otto-
man army. A rabble of I.lJsnialts, Yourocks, and
Albanians, who, when assembled together, will pro- '
hably be dignified with the name of an army, have
formed a camp near Nyasa, and these have been
directed, in the crew of • wsr, to occupy Upper
Wallachia. Now we find it slated that the warlike
intentions of the Di•ao had been communicated
with all possible dispatch to every part of the
Ottoman empire, and it is to be apprehended that
when the tidings reach this assemblage of persons
in the camp at Nyasa, they will think it expedient
to *MAI the iustructious of the Porte without

delay, and Their impitoors iiitage day, wiiliont
the direct command of the Divan, expedite the.
commence:nett of hostilities. The Grand Viitir is
spoken of as having 'tads the fietd, and commenced
the march of hip principal fore* in two columns,
one by Sophia sod the ether by Semiroela. the
aumerical strength of this army is not noticed; nor
is the point stated from whence it commenced its
march. An army had been collected in the vicinity
of Adrianople, and if the Grand Vizir has actually
taken the field, it is probable that this is the army
which he commands. We are told in one account,
that there ere 160,000 Ottoman troops in Moldavia
and Wallachia, bin these troops are much more
formidable to the uoiktued inhabitants of these pre.
times than they are likely to be to the well-dis-
ciplined veteran soldiers of Russia. The Turks
are not deficient in physical courage, but their
Government has neither the skill nor the means to
form and equip a regular army capable of contend-
ing against troops disciplined according to Euro-
pean tactics; sod, generally speaking, the creation
of magasiatot mad ill the details of ■ commissariat
establishment, de 'Mg enter into their notions of
the mode of oomilleghiga campaign. The ferocious
brutality of the-ildillie ireeps iu Moldavia and
Wallachia has et ample* exhausted these pro-
vinces, that • teethes is said to prevail there, and as
famine is usually followed by pestilence, we may
expect to hear of a terrific mortality among the
troops as well as the people of those unhappy
countries. The Januisaries, who are the most
anxious for the war, refuse, say the accounts from
Petersburgh, to leave Constantinople. They wait
the declaration of wee as the signal for the plunder
and massacre of the Greek inhabitants of the capi-
tal. Should suCh motives prevail to endanger the
tranquillity of Europe, ought not the existence of
'the Turkish Government be regarded by all people
as a moral nuisance, which it would become expe-
dient instantly to abate ? It is fa► more dangerous
to the great social community of civilized Europe
than ever was the French Directors or any other of
the ephemeral governments which appeared occa-
sionally above the troubled ocean of the French
Revolution. The Jannisaries are undoubtedly at
this moment capable of controlling the conduct of
the Sultan and the Divan, and if the avarice and
cruelty of this ferocious band of soldiers should ac-
tually lead to war, we should hope that the sword
of the Christian Powers will never be sheathed un-
til the Turkish empire in Europe be effectually
destroyed.
lo opposition, however, to the warlike tone of the
French and other rootinental papers, we have to
state, that very considerable doubt continues to pre-
vail in the City respecting the authenticity of their
statements. It will be seen that in the private bar-
gains which were titiosiscted yesterday at the Stock
Exchange, Consols, which had left off on Saturday at
78i. were done at 79 and 791 for this and the May
account. Tots improvement cannot be attributed
to the favourable appearance of the revenue, for the
increase in the receipt of the revenue was known on
Saturday, and was then inadequate to sustain the
depression caused by the warlike rumours from the
Continent. These have begun to lose their in-
fluence. We have also learned, from a source
which we consider good authority, that Mr. ADAIR
has brought dispatches from Mr. GORDON, the
representative of Lord Svewaav at Vienna, which
are considered pacific. These dispatches are dated
the 30th of last mouth, and Mr. ADAIR, the bearer
of them, states that at bus departure the negociation
•as considered as h■ring approached au amicable
ad j ustment.
The French Papers contain no domestic intelli-
gence of any interest. The five per cents. left off
on Thursday at 87 1. 14 c. Bank Stock at 1,585 f.

We last night received German Papers to the
29th nit. containing intelligence from Vienna to
the 27th, in which it is stated that the Austrian
Observer, up to that date, contains no news what-
ever respecting Turkey and Russia. An article
dated Frankfort, the 26th, referring to the report
of the rejection of the Russian Vlihnottnes by
Turkey, states that there were some hopes that
peace would be maintained.

We have received the Dublin Papers of Satur-
day. They contain copious accounts of the trials in
the south under the Insurrection Act. On the 2d
in►t. Itleamor Goßigots was convicted at the Lime-
rick Sessions of serving an unlawful notice to quit
00 RUDDELL. The sentence made a great
senutiou smug the peasantry, who foolishly con-
ceived that no female could be punished under the
Act.

THE FUNDS.—Yesterday was a holiday at the
Stock Exchange, bot a good deal of business; osts
done. A great agitation prevailed. The warlike
rumours are falling into discredit. The Consols
left off on Saturday et 78i ; yesterday morning
began at 78111. and rose to 78j 79 for this account,
and 79ji for May.
The manufacture of linen goods in the east
coasts of Scotland has been for some time past, and
is, we are informed, at present unusually brisk. A
vast quantity of goods from these parts have lately
been exported from this city to the Brazils. The
quantity, in most instances, is considerably more
than double to what was previously sent to the Bra-
zil market. We observe that the increased impor-
tation of undressed flax into the port of Dundee for
last year was 96,831 cwls. (93 per cent.); Mon-
trose, 20,768 cwts. (30 per cent.) ; Aberdeen,
16,292 (93 per cent.) ; and Kirkaldy, 18,987 veil.
(34 per cent.)—(lnvernes: Carrier./
