Several important regulations have lately been issued to pro-
mote the agriculture and population of Siberia, many parts of
which vast country are highly capable of cultivation. An Ukase
of the 15th August, addressed to the Senate, says—" To pro-
mote the cultivation of Siberia, and to increase the means of
doing so, as the_building of houses, the introduction of agri-
culture, and the cultivation of the land or districts where the
Nomade tribes live, require great expences, and the care of the
Government ; it is decreed, that Ole Russians living in the
circles of lrkutzk, Ochozk, Kamtschatka, Kirensk, Turu-
chansk, Naryne, and Beresow, shall henceforth be exempt from
the obligation of furnishing recruits."
The celebrated Englishman Capt. Cochrane, who is famous
both in and out of Europe for his long excursions on foot, and
who has been for two years engaged in such a tour in Siberia,
to discover whether in the high northern latitudes there is any
connection between the Continents of Asia and America, has
married at Kamtschatka a native of that country, and is now
on his return. He has not found any junctions of the two Con.
tinents.
Baron Rothschild, who is already quite recovered, sets out in
a few weeks for Moscow, and thence proceeds to Vienna.
Dr. Richter, actual Councillor of State, Physician to the Im-
perial Court, and Professor of Physic to the University of Mos-
cow, died on the 7th of this month.
Accounts from Osenburg say that trade is in a very precarious
state on account of the intestine troubles and the disagreement
of Bucharia with Chicoa and the Kiegese. There were no goods
whatever for transit.
STOCKIIPLM, SEPT. 24.—The Commercial Gazette com-
municates to-day the official intelligence that the Russian Go-
vernment has given foreign vessels the liberty of carrying on the
coasting trade in Russia on payment of no higher duties than
those paid by Russian ships.
An official account of the earthquake at Carlo-stadt says,—
"On the 10th, at half-past eleven P. as. a dreadful noise like
an explosion of gun-powder was heard in the town. The sky
was very clear,. but at sun-set a cloud of singular appearance
rose in the horizon with lightning without thunder, and meteors
(called vulgarly falling stars) of extraordinary size and bright-
ness The shock of the earthquake seemed to be in the direc-
tion from east to west, and was felt in the remotest part of the
province. The first frost this autumn was on this night ; it has
continued to freeze, but not very hard : meteoric stones have
been found in severall places.

MADRID, OCT. s.—The nomination of the Members of the
Committee of the Extraordinary Cortes may enable us to form
a _correct idea of the spirit which animates this Assembly.
Every thing tends to make us belie-e that a considerable ma-
jority will second the exertions of a Ministry which justifies
mere and more every day the confidence of the friendi of the
country.
The Ministry has fulfilled its threat against such Intendants
as did not display the greatest zeal and firmness in collecting
tie contribution. iThe Intendants of the provinces of Toledo,
Gremula, Guadalatzra, Citalad Real, and Cuenca, aro dia.,

missed for having neglected their duty in this important part
of the public administration.
Madrid was never more tranquil than at present. The King
and the Royal Family take them accustomed airing.
News limn the provinces is satisfactory. The Constitutional
troops have obtained several advantages in the three frontier
provinces. General Mina's head-quarters were at Culaf, near
3lanresa, on Sept. 24, and he was going towards Castel Oli.
General Zarco dcl Valle was near Barbatto on the 29th. Gen.
Espinosa defeated the factious on the 34th near Sanguesa. The
official reports from these two Generals are given in the Uni-
versal. They say that the force of Quesada amounts to 1,500
Navarrois, and between 400 and 500 Arragonese, but desertions
are very common.
