Excise officers, we understand, without any
regard to their districts, have received directions to visit
the houses of all Licensed Victuallers, and search their
premises, so that the publicans are constantly visited by
strangers, whom they do not know, to detect colouring,
or any mixture of a different character, if it should be in
the possession of the former. The Commissioners have
decided that the colouring used for rum, without any re-
fe•rence to beer, if found, is a fineable offence, to discover
which strange officers are now employed in every district.
Surely the Commissioners of Excise would do well to en.
deavour to discover the venders of such mixtures, who
must be well known, and fine them heavily for their illegal
conduct.—Morning Advertiser.

The commercial advices received yesterday
from St. Petersburgla are very interesting to parties
engaged in the trade with Russia, as they co nmunicate
the news that the winter had broken up, and that the na-
vigation of the Neva would soon be restored. The letters
are to the 25th ult., and mention that the ice in the Neva
broke up on
.the 21st ult., and that the bridges had been
replaced. The weather was fine. The Exchange on Lon.
don had improved to 10 13-52nds. From Cronstadt the
accounts are to the 21st April. The following is the copy
of an official report :
" CIONSTADT, Arait (8) 20.—The open water ex-
tends from the corner of the Man-of-War's Mole to beyond
the Citadel, and about half way over to Oraniembaum.
Horses have crossed this day over the ice both above awl
below the harbour, but it it concluded that after to-day no
hors, a wil be allowed to leave the town."

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 10.-Since the set-
ting in of milder weather, and the re-commencement of the
navigation, the prices of the chief necessaries of life, parti-
cularly of corn, have fallen very considerably. Meat,
however, is still scarce, in consequence .f the contagious
disorders among the cattle in several provinces. A new
frigate built in the dock-yard (Mitylene), arrived
here on the '7th. This frigate which is to convey
TAIIIa PACHA to Algiers, lies at anchor off Beschektash,
waiting for a favourable wind. The Austrian R.-lir-Ad-
miral Count DANDOLO, his successor Baron AcctraTl hav-
ing arrived at Smyrna on board the Guerrero frigate,
was preparing to return to the Littorale with the greater
part of the Austrian squadron. The great services ren-
dered by the Austrian squadron under his command, dur-
ing a most critical period, will be long remembered by
the merchants of all nations, who derived from it protec-
tion and security against the swarms of pirates that have
of late years infested the Levant seas. The Sardinian
Ambassador, %larquis GM/PALL°, has obtained from his
Court leave of absence on family affairs, meanwhile M.
Cancrco, Chief Instructor. and Counsellor of Legation, will
aetas Charge d'Affaires ; M. DE RIBEAUPIERRE has had to-
day an audience of the Caimacan Patcha, to deliver his cre-
dentials to the Turkish Ministry. The state of the
public health continues to be so satisfactory in this city,
that net the smallest trace of the plague has been disco-
vered. The last accounts from Adrianople are also very
satisfactory on this subject.
