tYtINEVUOIII, JAVVARY 21.

The weather still continues very luckiness*, but we have
had no further fall of snow. Hy account• from different
parts of the country, it appears that the present storm is felt
with the greatest ily tot the east coast, where vomitus-
oication between some of the towns wa• completely suspend-
ed fur two or three days. We nuderoatill that the London
madof Thursday was detained so far beyond its usual time
by the depth of the snow between Rerwick and I)nabar.—
Yeste►day 'morning 11 was brought in On borsebilck, about
Mite o'clock, and ibis morning the roach arrived will it Cl
four. The utlw r mails come in at their regular time.
. .

On Sunday ev ' g a man sod vrorhau hhd, during the
iilreadful snow dorm, nearly perished on their 'Way to Oita-
lingstosi, owing to missiing the road. Fortunately their
cries wire heard by • vain, whose timely asausivirr, in ■II
proltahility, saved their lives.
In Fif. the ground is c. Ily covered to the depth of
foot feel, and to ensue platy., where the snow has bee's.
drifted by the wind, it is piled up into immense wreaths.
0.1 Tuesday, the boy that rides the post between laver-
ke.thinc and Kioglture, was throws. from his horse, and
mast inevitably have perished, had not the arrival of the
animal at the stahle of its master given intimation that
some disaster had befallen the rider.
NEW.CIISII,t, JANUARY 21.

The weather still continues extremely severe. On Tues-
day night a very heavy fall of snow look place, and conti-
nued through the whole of IYedisesday, accompanied with a
high whit'. Very serious, injury was sustained by the ship-
ping in entering Shields harbour on that slay. An immense
quantity of ice is now accumulated in our river in the neigh.
bourlsoisl of this town; at the bridge it is lying near 17
feet thick, and in whiny othrr places completely Glis up the
heel of the river. Very great fears are entertained fur the
safety of the shipping and bridge, should the ice and snow
dissolve in any sudden manner.
KELSO, JANUARY 21.
One of the heaviest falls of snow which we have had for
massy years commenced between eleven and twelve o'clock
on Tuesday evening, and on the Wednesday morning the
snow was drifted in many places severed feet deep. The
Kelso coach for Eslieshisrgh was obliged to return after
getting as far as Dod Mill; and no coach from Edinburgh
has arrived here since Tuesday. The Coalition coach,
which set OW from Newcastle for !Edinburgh on Wed-
siestlay, +could proceed no farther than Woukr, and only ar-
rival herr last might about seven o'clock ; about which lime
the post from Berwick, which should have been Isere before
the • same time in the morning, only came in. The post
from Berwick arrived this forenoon at 11 o'clock.
GLASGOW, JANUARY 21.

The London mail continues to arrive here pretty regular-
ly, the snow on Ike west road, and in this part of the country
generally, not having fallen so deep nor drifted so much as
on the ea►t coast.

" 'Morino, the Spanish General, it expected here daily,
and 1 may add, hourly. 111 is the general belief among us,
that he has been defeated by Bolivar, and that the latter is
now in possession of the whole of the province of Cameras.

taken a million of dollars when lie got possession of Santa

than have been before received.

FOREIGN IN7 ELLIGENCE.

BATAVIA, AUGUST 22.

By account* from Semarang, we learn that his
Excellency the Governor-General and the Baroness
Vander Capellen arrived there on the 29th July,
and set out on the 15th of this month on a journey
to the Courts of Sourakatta and Djuyocarla.
The crops hitherto have been very productive,
and the corn still in the field promises very well.
These favourable circumstances lead the native
!,opulation justly to appreciate the advantages
* hid, the measures of the Government procure
them, since the direct sale of most of the fruits of
their industry, arid the circulation of money thereby
occasioned, stforded them indeed a degree of pros-
perity which they probably never before enjoyed.
After conferences held at Semarang with Mr.
Commissioner for Palembang and
Banco, Nlajor.General de Kock, and Admiral Wol-
te.hrck, the measures have been arranged which are
to be etnpluyeaf against the Sultan of Palembang,
Mai:humid Badrorden. Admiral Wolierbeck has
the. command of the expedition destined for that
place.
