Ceographical Dietionaries ,being very clefi-
ciopt in their 'accounts of a place which has so
11;!Icli engaged the attention of all Europe, we have
ex t rac.-ci the 'following, from a French Pablica-

"• " The town and garrison of Cataro is situated
,at the e-:;trernity of the Gulf of that name, Which
formerly called Lizzonico. Cataro, at the
tinie of the Romans, was known by the .awe of
ASeriviuni. The destiny of thiS people was conti..
nually changing until the close of the 14th century,
1- when their independence was recognizedby the Kings
.
of Boheinia. Cataio afterwards supported many
bloody wars against the Baizass, Princess of Lents,
and Montenegro, as well as some of less conse-
quence against the Ragusans. In the year WI
Cataro. formed an intimate alliance with the last,' as
; well as wish the jnhahabitants of Antivari and Dui,.
;Phis small State having terminated all
wars, acid having liberated itself from any depen-
deuce on the Kings of Bosnia, was governed by'
Pits- jaws, until the year 1410; when alarmed
Iby the colossal power-of the Turks,: Who had con-'
quered the neighbouring%Provinces, the inhabitants
of Cataro, from a sense. of their -dariger, thought
Vproper to submit themselves to the Republic of
enice.

• The principal conditions of the Treaty were,
, that. Cataro -should retain its form .:.)f 'Government ;
that the 'Venetians should defray all the expences
of administration out of the duties received at the
Custom-houses ; and latly, thatif the Republic of
Venice should find itself unable to give proteaion'•
to its new subjetts,• it should not transfer the
vereignty of it to atis' other Power, but restor..;
Cataro to its former independence. It vas in con-
sequence of this Convention that the Venetian
Republic having been dissolved, the 12th of May,
1797, the inhabitants of: Cataro exercised the right
of disposition,, and accordingly. transferred thetur,,
selVes to Austria on' the 4th of July in the sane
year. - Castelnuovo .foilow.ed their example: Tigi?''
town, built in 1373, by GUAII-LO, King of BoherrifkP
belonged to the Venetians since .1(187.
another town -of Albania, was under their pro-
tection since the 15th century. It was
,occupied in ,
1797 by the Austrians., at the very moment that-
PETnoi,viLut, the Montenegrin Bishop, was
about. to seize it at the .hcad of a band of: 5 or
6009 Men. .

" -The inhabitants grow a great deal of corn in
the plains next •to the sea, but not sufficient'for-their
*consumption, as they have, -a strong repugnance Wl'
hard labour. They have excellent wine, andAl,,

irROM THE DUBLIN EVENINC;POST.]
From, a Gentleman Who was an eye-Witness to
1- the 'unfortunate arair at Tuilaghtnore, we have the
following. part i ethers :
. --`-`_-The quarrel originated in one of the Hanove-
rian soldiers attempting to take by force from a'
small drum-boy of the Monaghan Militia, a switch,
on which the- boy seemed to a:I-ix rrnieh value ;
1 he proceeded to strike him, and was resisted by a
Corporal of the Regiment, when the. Hanoverian
drew his sword, and was immediately jolnf?d by
three of his. comrades, against whom the corporal
defended himself with singular bravery for a con-
siderable time, until overpowered by nuinbers; he
was literally cut• to pieces. The alarm then be-
came general, and the Hanoverians, amounting
to nine. hundred men, and moaly mounted, iinme.;.
diately turned out, threatening destfuetiOn to all
who opposed 'them. The militia-Men,
~amounting
_to-tzn, -who bad all been at their several„billets
through the town, assembled in small groupes in
the
.best manner they could, and betaking them-
selves to the narrow pas.seS, continued to main-
tain the unequal contest with ex'traordinary intrenidi-
ty,,cutting-down several of the Hanoverians. 'One.
man, of the Sligo Regiment, havingseceived a ball
in the 'thigh; fell to the groimd, but perceiving his
adversary approach to finish what he had thus begun;-
rising on his-side, and preSenting his piece atthe Ha-
noyerian, then about fifteen feet distance, shot him
through' the heart. The soldier has been carried to
the hospital,' and is in a fair way of recovery.
" The Adjutant of- the Hanoverians, -in riding
through the town,, endeavouring to quell rhe riot,
and his language not being undcFstood, be was sup-
posed to be urging on the affray, and received a ball
by which he instantly expired. This unfortunate
fl:airlasted for about an lour, when, by the ex-
ertions of the. Officers, order was at length happily
'restored; and tlie•troops returned to their barracks.
Azi inhabitant of the town, of the .name of Moly-
ateuxiendeavourino- to rescue one of the militia from
a ;lumber of the Fanoverians, received seyeral-frac-
'Wire§ in his skull, and died shortly after. •
Thus ended an affray which, in the onset, threat- -
enett the worst conseqtfen,ces. Four of the Militia
and twenty-two of the Hanoverians are said to
have_ fallen on this occasion. By the judicious
conduct of General DUNN, the route of the• re-
maining part of the Light Companies, then on
thkiE. way to the town, was changed, by which
means further Mischief was prevented'. None of
the Militia Officers, we understand, were present--
'The-feW of them attached to the party having that
aday :dined with a friend at some distance from the
town."

EDINBURpH, AUG. 1 .—Lprd Viscount MEL-.
VILLE :,•este.-day waited on the Loyd Provost and
Magistrates
,met in 'Council. 'His Lordship, in an
impressive'speech, addressed them on the subject of
his late proseeution 5, and warmly thanked them for
the kindness and attachMent they had shown on the
occasion. He harstiffered",much; but the strong
expressions of regard evinced by-his countrymen in
general Was a sufficient compensation for-all he had
endured.
SINGULAR DESCENT.—Au.incident which exeiled
much curiosity occurred" last week at Weymouth.
Mrs, BENNET,' of Cadbury, in Som2rsetshire, acCom-
panied NIr.BRATHWAYTE in his diving machine;aad
:remained -under water with him forty minutes.—
Previous to her trip she. evinced great courage, and
was greeted on her ascent by the clreerintr plaudits
of-a very numerous concourse of 'people. Mrs.
L NNI.ET is now generally known by the name of
the Diving Belle.
On the 7th of July Mr. TURNER, Butcher in the
Grove, Bath, bought four huil-calves, which he put
WO-his slaughter-house, in Boatstall-laue ; but on
the next Morning two were misaing. As it.was sup-
posed that they had been stolen from. the premises,
a reward of fiftc-en guineas was Offered for them, on
conviCtion of the thieves ; but no intelligence re-
- speQing them could be obtained until. last Monday,
- twenty-One days after, when a- Man saw one of
them struggling in the • water near Monk's Mill,
where the warm baths empty themselves into the
On searching further, -the. -other was 'dis-
,„cover-gd- about three hundred yards up the sewer,
in the same weak condition. They .Were both
r_ta4-,n- to a neighbouring mill, •where 'they were
!iFipurished with -small quantities of milk ; but the
one being impriidently.-bkri. in tile mouth, died
during ,the operation ; the.other is rapidly recov.er-
ing. It is.curiotts hoW these animals could subsist
.three weeks without sustenance, about which, from
its confined tituation, no vegetable- matter could
exist. ,
