THE HELDER, MAY 9.—His Excellency Rear-Admiral
T. 0. Ryk, with his family, arriveit Ler, toiciay,
in order to emb rk for Surinam ion board his .N 1
frigate Amphitrite. To-mot row is the day fixed for put
tug to sea, and the wind is favourable ; it is however be-
lieved here that the departure will be delayed for a kw
days, as some think because the equipment of the frigate,
a.hich is expected from Amsterdam, is not yet complete,
while others affirm that the delay is to be ascrib in to a
more in:portant cause; namely that his Excellency the
Governor. General is in ex,,ectation of imp(); taut des
patches from Amsterdam, which are closely ctninected
with matters relative to the welfare of the Colony of St.t
rinam. - It is certain at alhevents-that the Admiral has
neglected and will neglect nothing to priimote to the ut-
most of his power the welfare of the Colonies entrusted
to him.

PETER-BURGH, APRIL 24.—The winter continues, the
sky is Ob.cured ;• we have snow every day, and often in the
evening frost, with the thermometer at 16 and 12 (Roan.
mur) below freezing point. This long continuance of cold
has had a very unt:vourable effect:in several provinces. In
the Baltic: provinces there is an extreme scarcity of forage,
and in some districts the farmers have been obliged to take
the thatch off their habitations to keep their cattle from
starving. •

Jassy, As-au. 24. On the 19th of April our city was
on the point of becoming the theatre of , frightful scenes.
A band of ruffians had formed a plan to set fire to the town
in several places at once, and to murder the Ilospodar, the
Bishop, and several Boyars. The Aga being inforined of
the plot by some of the accomplices, has already arrested
above sixty of this banditti, ,onie of whom have confessed.
Some time ago the dead body of a rich Jew was found in
the street, who, it is said, was invited by a Boyar to his
house to settlo some pecuniary affairs With hire, .ind there
murdered. I refrain from comment on this lawless
State of things.
A letter from Athens of the above date, which give some
'account of excessss committed by a body of 200 armed
banditti, who. had *taken, and plundered the towns of Ma-
rathonissi,• , has the following:—•' We have just re
ceived ❑ews -that the band of Klephts, which surprized
Marathonissi on•the•2oth of this month, had dispersed itself,
and that the disorders in that town are at an end. The
'Primate and principal inhabitants of 4erniea gave the rob-
hers notice that if they did not immediately quit the town,
they would- march.against them •at the head of the-people.
Hereup•-n the tet rifled plunderers left the town on the 24th,
and dispersed without any resistance. Captain Kapetana
kis, with'the King's troops, entered Marothonissi immedi-
ately afterwards. When this account came away tran-
quillity was perfectly restored in the town.-Allgemeine
