Several corsairs from Tripoli have appeared off.
the coast of Tuscany.
It is currently reported in Italy, that the Ame-
ricans have taken measures for obtaining an island
in the Mediterranean, for the purpose of forming
an entrepor for their commerce. This report,
which has already been circulated by the English
papers) is probably occasioned by the prolonged
stay of the American squadron in the Mediter-
ranean.

Letters from Malta announce, that the English
Government has given orders for coatiniting the
basin already commenced in that island, notwith
standing ti►e obstacles which oppose the progress
of the ‘vork.

Private lettets front Rome announce, that the
Consistot y xvhich was to h Av.: been hell, hi his
Holiness at the end of Septetnber, for the pro-
motion of Bi-hops in France and other countries;
had been postponed to sth instant. The Abbe de
Riencourt, appointed Bishop of Boulogne, and
who, it was said, had refused that See, has defi-
nitively accepted it. 'the Abbe de Chieze has le-
fused the See of Montpelier, and the Abbe Dubois

It is said that the Court of Assizes at lionen

individual (the pretended Dauphin) who has the
audacity to call himself Charles of Navarre.

The i'revotal Court of Lyons will commence
on the 13th the trial of certain individuals ac-
cused of conspiring in that city against thelegiti-

The engineer Chevalier, in a letter on tl►e sub-
ject of tl►e too eatly cold evhich is now experienced,
states conjectures as to tl►e probability of a very
sevare winter—conjectures which, wt! hope, the
event will contradict. Ile Says, Whether we

adopt the period of the Lunar Nodes of about 19
years, or admit that memorable winters corre-
' spoud in different ages, according to the periods of
100 years, and 101 years, or their multimes, ac-
cording to the observation of M. LA Sall6 in either
case a rigorous winter is to he anticipated. In
Net, the period of 19 years will to,ke the present
year correspondent with the winter of 193; and
if we refer to the pet iods of 100 or 101 years, then
the whiter of tltis year tv.ill correspond with those
of 1615 and 1716.
MINISTRY or THE INTERIOR.-officiat advices
having notified, that the yellow fever has re-ap-
peared at Guadaloupe and the liavannah, and that
its ravages ate also experienced in Charleston,
the Minister for the Home Department has has-
tened to recommend fresh precautions against all
tstrivals from America and he has fixed the du-
ration of the quarantines to which vessels front
that quarter of the world ought to be subject ac-
cording to the particular circumstances of each
vessel. Some doubts having arisen respecting the
contagious character of the yellow lever, the Mi-
nister has thought proper, in order to settle these
doubtS, to consult- the Faculty of Physicians of
Paris on the subject. The report presented by
the Faculty (which is inserted in the Moniteur)
demonstrates the necessity of the measures of pre-
caution which have been ordered.

MADRID, SEPT. 30.-- The movement of the
troops which are marching from Andalusia to Es-
tremadura continues to furnish Matter for conjec-
tures among our drawing-room pcpliticiatts. It is
now reported that the militia is to he called out,
which will add to the army an effective force of
35,000 men ; for the militia corps are always com,-
,plete. They are raised by a cot t of conscription ; the
regiments being filled up as soon as the order is given.
The militia is an army of reserve which Spain has
always ready. Still, however, we doubt the truth.

of this report. Our discussions ‘•rith Portugal
cannot require a measure so serious, and which
would at once derange all our financial plans ;
and in the present 'state of Europe, just escaped
from tire evils of an unexampled war, what Power
would wish to fire the first gun ? That painful.
precedency, we trust, is not.reserved for us.
—The report relative to the
BERLIN, SETT. 30
ditty of 30 per cent. to be imposed upon English
chandise and manufactures imported into the
Prussian States, still prevails but we know from
good authority, that there is, as yet, nothing de-
termined on that subject. The report is founded
on the proposition of, the Finance Committee of
the Council of State, which is to undergo a more
complete deliberation on the next meeting of that
assembly.
The reduction of our army of the line is more
than ever spoken of ; its maintenance consumes a
great part of our revenue. We are assured that a
plan for the reduction has been presented to his
Majesty.

ligence that the t tvo Portuguese ships of the line

LONDON,
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 18I;7.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Sunday last. Those of Monday, which were clue
this morning, have not come to hand.
These Journals put an end to the speculations
respecting the absence of the Duke de RICH ELLIEU,
by announcing his return to Paris, and his trans-
acting business as usual with the King.
The Court of Assizes, at Rouen, is said (but
neon what ground is not mentioned) to have de-
clared itself incompetent with respect ta the case
of the pretended Dauphin.
- Respecting another affair width has excited
considerable interest in France, the assassination
FUALDES, the new trial of the persons
charged with the mimic, is appointed t. be had
before the Comm of Assizes at Mby.
The report is revived in these Journals, that
the Government of the United States of America
ii endeavouring to obtain a naval station in the
Mediterranean, and it may be tine that some pro-
positions to that effect have been made, but if so
there is every reason to believe they have been
entirely unsuccessful.

In the Madrid articles rumours of a war bet ween
Spain and Portugal are again brought forward,
but they seem chiefly; if not entirely, to have arisen
from the remov,l of
,the Spanish troops which
were stationed in Andalusia, and destined for an
expedition to South America, into Estramadura.
This measure, it has been already explained, arose
from the necessity of relieving Andalusia from the
burden of their subsistence. Another report is
now added, that a considerable body of Spanish
Militia are to be called out into actual service.
This, however, is merely a rumour, but if true, it
may probably be capable of as eusy:an explanation
as the march of a corps of regular troops towards
the frontiers of Portugal.

From these Madrid accounts we learn that
whilst the produce of the harvest is so abundant
in Castile, that, there being no means of
export, the price of grain is ruinously low.
There has been a very indiiietetif harreit'
in Catalonia, where the pike has risen con-
side' ably. The people of Castile want a mar-
ket for their Grain, which the people of Ca-
talooia would be glad to buy, but there is no means
of conveying it from one to the other. It seems,
however, that at length, in conseque»ce of the
urgent demands of the people of Castile, the King
has ordered the Counci) of Castile to take the
subject into consideration and report upon it.
The fortnguese squadron, with the Princess
Royal of PORTUGAL on board, passed the Straits
of Gibraltar on the Ist ult.

New precautions with regard to quarantine
have been ordered by the French Minister of the
Interior, "in constquenCe of official intelligence
having been received of the prevaleticg of the
yellow fever at Guadaloope, the Havant/011i and
Charlestown.

Valida, mother of the Grand Seignior, is dead,

It is a proof of tl►e nourishing state of the
Country that the applications for Mediterranean
Plisses have been greater at ti►e Admiralry than
ever was known'. Fifty pounds per day have been
the average receipts for the last month : previons
to that time, 50/. for the same purpose had ►►ot
been received in time course of a ►uo►tth.

'rl►e Resolution urianitiiiiitaly adopted by the
Papists at one of tl►e recent Aggregate Mectino
in Dublin, to impoSe a TEST on the Catvlidate3

at tl►e ensuing General Election, viz. " that if they
would trot give a pledie to support the Claims of
the Roman Catholics for Admission to Seats in
the Legislature, &c., that they would be opposed
b'y all the Papists Iheonghout the United King-
dam," has given great offence to the Protestant
Community, and created a general dcterinination
uniongstthern to use every means in their power
to put this vexations question et rest in the sExt
Parliament. To achieve witich it is expected,
that, in Many places, at present repte§euted by the
►►dvocates of the Catholic Cfaims, persons of op.;
polite sentiments will be proposedi and there i 3
little doubt, from the good understanding which
prevails on this subject, between the

of the Establishment and the great Body of Pro-
testant Dissenters, that they will succeed,
secure in the NEw Parliament that commundiug
influence to %Thiel), from their numbers, property;
and principles, they are so pre-eminently enti
tled. It appears, that in the late contest for
Norfolk Mr. Pharr wrote to the Rev. Mr. 11--,
nd to other Dissenting Ministers in that County,
that he would, on all occasions, oppose the Ca-
tholic Claims, and WC Lace 110 doubt hut others
of his Party will, at the next Election, fol-
low his example, if they cannot otl,erwise se-
cure their return to Parliament. The people must
therefore act wisely, and be on their plaid, AA
