WEYMOUTH, Mai. 23.

This (reservedly celebrated Waterino. Place has
lone been distinguished for the active benevolence of its in-
habitants. Institutions of every kind, whose object is to
smooth the pillow of affliction, and administer to the wants of
the suffering poor, are here in active operation. There is
scarcely a poor cottage that is not daily blessed by the hand of
charity, and in vain is it that misery endeavours to widen its
dominion, whilst sympathizing pity is opposing it on every
side. It sets an example worthy of imitation, and were it fol-
lowed by every other town in the kingdom, the cry of distress
would not be so prevalent.
We feel great pleasure in stating, that as soon as the dis-.
tresses of the poor Irish were made known to them, a spon-
taneous feeling of humanity arose in their favour, and a re-
spectable Meeting of the inhabitants took place at the Guild-
hall, in this Borough, RICHARD BOWER, Esq. (Mayor) iri
the Chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration the ne-
cessity of opening a general Subscription, and of adopting sdch
measures as may be deemed expedient, for the relief of the
Suffering Poor in our Sister Kingdom.
The Mayon having briefly stated the object of the Meeting,
as set forth in the requisition, expressed the great pleasure and
satisfaction he experienced in convening the inhabitants toge-
ther for so philanthropic a purpose.
Captain flANcocx, It. N. rose, and moved that a general
subscription be entered into for alleviating the distress that
prevailed to a most lamentable degree in the south district of
Ireland, and that books be—opened at both Banks and Li-
braries to receive the same, which was seconded by JAMES,
BOWER, Esq.
Mr. J. M. Tooxs then moved that a Committee be ap-
pointed to carry this humane and benevolent work into effect,
and to correspond with the Committee sitting in London, to
promote the same laudable object,- which was seconded by the
Rev. 0. Piers.

The Worshipful MAYOR then read the names of the Com-
mittee, which included the following Gentlemen :—Sir Henry
Onslow, Bart., Rev: 0. Piers, Capt. Hancock, R.N., John
Cossins, Esq., Capt. J. D. Markland, R. N., Capt. Andrews,
M. C., Mr. J. M. Tooks, Mr'. T. Dymond,' Mr. Flint, James
Bower, Esq., Captain Deecker, R. N., S. W. Warne, Esq,,
William Eliot, Esq., Mr. W. liryer, Mr. J. Rolls, M. Bos-
well Beddome, Capt. Tullidge, R. liberal subscription
was immediately entered into, and in the course of a few hours
nearly 1001. were paid into the Banks of Messrs. Bower and
Eliot, and Messrs. Henning, Bower, and M'Clorg.
On the MAYOR quitting the Chair, the cordial thanks of the
Meeting were voted to him for convening the same, and for his
great readiness at all times in attending to thP wishes of his
fellow-townsmen.

ST. PETERSBURGII, MAY 4,—M. de Tatischeff arrived
here from Vienna on the 30th April, at four o'clock, P. M. His
Majesty the Emperor happened to be absent at Zarskojeselo.
The dispatches brought by M. de Tatischeff were immediately
lent to the Emperor by an express. A Privy Council was held
on them, at the Palace; on the Ist instant, and we shall now
very shortly know the result of their deliberations, and the inea.
-sures which our beloved Monarch may think proper to be
taken.
The Crown has lately made large contracts for the convey-
,a.nce of military stores to Minsk and Riga.
.We have received the following accounts from the Turkish
frontiers:—
" A large army is forming near Nissar ; and, for the most
-part, troops from Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia, and Scutari,
.are ordered thither by the Divan ; the members of which are
-said to differ extremely in their opinions since the death of Ali
Paella. In case of war the whole Turkish army will unite
there, cross-the Danube at Widdin, and occupy, the upper part
of "Wallachia, extending to the Austrian territories. The army
of the Grand Vizier advances in two columns, one by way of
Sophia to Rudschuk, the other by way of Schumla to Barilow.
Ghourschid Paella, the favourite of the day; but whose motions,
=it is said, are greatly impeded by the Greeks, is likewise to have
a command. in the great Turkish army assembling 'son the

disputes with,the local authorities."
According to authentic accounts, Persia is inclined to peace
with the Porte, if the latter will accede to certain demands, to
which, however, it refuses to listen. Mr. Whitlock, the Eng-
lish Resident at Teheran, exerts all his efforts to mediate a
peace between the two powers.
Hamburgh, May 21.--Exchange on London, 36f. 10 c.,
rf.
St. Petersburgh, May 3.—Exchange on London, 9 9-16 c."
CORFU, Arian 20.—An Act of the Parliament of the
United States of the lonian Isles fixes the punishment to be
• inflicted upon the infractors of lonian neutrality. The subjects
:of the said States, taking an active. art for or against the bel-
ligerent parties. in Epirus, Poloponnesus, or the adjacent
• illands, canneries or seas, shall be exiled from the lonian
/ales, and their dependencies and their property, real and per-
Gene!, confiscated.
ZANTE, APRIL 16-2.--The system of neutrality which his
bean proclaimed in the lonian Isles goes directly to the confis-
• cation of the property of all the' lonian Nobles suspected of
being favourable to the cause of the Greeks, who are combat-
ing for their independence. Several of these Nobles, known
by their fortune and ,their principles, have been obliged to
expatriate themselves, and seek for safety in the Insurgent
lalara-so Amongst them are the Count Metaxa, a rich pro.
prietor, M. Anzulacato, known for his wealth and the honour-
aole employment of his fortune, and the venerable Arch-
heshop of Cephalonia, Typeldo, known for his piety and his
learning.
ODEssA, APRIL 28.—Up to the 22d, nothing certain was
known at St. Petersburgh as to peace or war.
• NUREMBERG, •MAX' 16.—The Supreme Aulic Chancery
cf Vienna sends couriers after couriers to Constantinople, in
order to quicken the steps of M. de Lutzow; and to induce the
Divan to consent to the evacuation of Moldavia and Wal-
laellie, which would be considered at Petersburgh as a pledge
of peace on the part of 'the Porte. Commercial letters from
Vienna, but cf suspicious authority, say, that Austria has
• obtained the consent of Russia to a further delay. It is also
said, that the Porte has promised verbally to M. de Lutzow
he evacuation of the Turkish principalities on the left bank
of the Danube, in three months. There seems, however, to
be much illusion at Vienna, and they know very little
there of the real disposition of the Porte.
AuGSBURG, MAY 17.—1 t is stated from Hamburgh that
• the Emperor of Reissia Was expected on the 29th ult. at
ff.ittau. His Imperial Majesty was to proceed to Warsaw,
and from thence to the array.
VIENNA, MAY 1 I.—( Extract of a Private Letter.)—
We do not expect the final decision of the Emperor of
Russia respecting the affairs of the East before the 20th
or 22d instant. Almost every one believes that this de-
cision will be for peace, and that the Emperor will place
his interests in the hands of the Mediating Powers. The con-
tract for our loan with AL de Rothschild has been signed, but
the terms are not yet known. It will b. for 33,0:10,000 florMs.
it is said that on the 18th April the Divan transmitted a very
pacific answer to the note which the Austrian Internuncio and
the English Ambassador presented on the Bth. The. Divan,
it is said, had announced that the evacuation of Moldavia and
Wallachia would commence on the Ist May, and that the Porte
would at the same period make known its choice of new Ms-
podars.
NAPLES, MAY 7.—Thb most severe measures have been
adopted respecting the maintenance of security and tranquil-
lity in this city. An Order of the Commissary-Creneralof Police

Another ordonnance of General 'Police directs that all fo-
reigners arriving here hall-, within 24 hours, report themselves

thcms.ives to the Police.
Fnike:XFoner, MAY 19.—The Princess Elizabeth, Land-
gravine of Hesse Homburg, and sister of the King of Great
Britain, has received accounts from London, which formally
contradict the reports concerning an intended journey' of her
brother to the Continent, the state of the King's health not
permitting such a journey.
BERLIN, MAY 18._ By a Royal Cabinet Order, all Prussian
Officers who entered, without permission, the corps of the Duke
• of Brunswick Oels, (in 1809), are pardoned.
Ens iso RE, MAY 18..---11 re expect the Crown Prince of Swe-
den on the 24ti. He will immediately go to Copenhagen and
rat:lde at the King's Palace.
