The parts of this city laid waste by the bombard-
ment in 1807, and which have not yet been re-
built. present on many sides a dreary prospect ;
but the great expense of building, and the scarcity
of money, deter those who would be otherwise in.

ber, it appears that we have had here during that

here iu an Arcadia. When the sun shines we see
whole swarms of gnats; the sparrows begin to build
their nests again."
A Royal Ordinance has changed the regulations
of the University of Copenhagen, respecting the
examination of teachers who have heels educated

mination is rendered much more rigorous in most
particulars.—( floarbargh Purr!, Dec. 8.)

State, and to the departments concerned, ordains
that the mw system of taxes shall be put in force
in all his Majesty's dominions, beginning with the
Ist of January, 1819.

LEIPSIG. DVCENSEII 4.

Some disturbances have broken out among the
students of this university also, which was otherwise
so orderly. For some time past parties have been
formed. They got into a dispute about an actor
who took part in their differences, and trifling ex-
cesses ensued, which at the beginning were checked
without noise. Soon after, however, they broke
out into open hostility, which brat 'hewed itself in
the fencing-rooms, and acts of violence were coot.,
milted, which rendered it necessary to call in the
police. The guilty are now under examination,
and the ringleaders will probab!y be punished by
relegation.

BAMBURGH. DECEMBER 4.
Yesterday evening a Russian courier arrived here
from Aix-la-Chapelle, with dispatches to the Rus-
sian Charge d'Affaires, M. Struve, and immediately
proceeded to Copenhagen.
The Senate has re-published and enforced the
'Ordinances which have been already frequently
issued against secret and unlawful rtcruitiog for
foreign military service.
Our city has sustained to-day a great loss by the
&nth of Senator Sountog, in the 7411 i year of his
age. He was particularly well ver.eil in commer-
cial affairs, to which he devoted binivelf with the
greatest activity, probity, and patriotism.

burgh, of which above 700 were for Magdeburg,
and above 300 for Berlin.

Since the 3d we hive again south-east wind and a
little frost, which, however, in the night before last
was severe enough to fill the Elbe, as far as Blanks-
nese, with flouting ice, by which the navigation is
nearly interrupted, and many vessels from the sea have
been obliged to bring to close to the shore to escape
imminent danger. However, the vessels which sailed
from here yesterday have happily got down the
Elbe, and the ice does not yet hinder the ships
here in the harbour from loading and J 'deeding.
FRANKFORT, DECEMBER b.

On the same day that the Emperor of Rossi* op-
io.ioted the Mike of ‘Vellingtoti Field-Marshal of

VIENNA. DECEMBER I.

The Gazette of Venice of the 20t1) of November
contains a notice respecting the plague, which
bri.ke out in the Lazareite of that city, and of
which, at the publication of tl►c first account, five
passengers had divd. All went on well till the 13th
of November, when one of the guards owl too cf

the servants of the Lazirette were affixed, and in
'spite of every assistance died on the 14th, 15th,
and 16th. They caught the infection fredipbeir
wont of precaution. Happily the passenger, from
the vessel which brought the infection enjoy perfect
health jn the separate building in which they were
at first placed, and the infection has not passed the
hounds within which the Board of Health had con-
fined it. New military posts are placed, and every
precaution taken to prevent communication between

the infected and not infected part of the Lavaretio.
Several guard-ships are stationed without. The
danger is now more for the very few who are in the
division of the very suspicious patients; but we msy
hope, with the aid of heaven, that the various pre-
cautions which have been adopted, and are strictly
enforced, will not be ineffectual even for dime.—
