MOSCOW, SEPT. 18.
Our meteorologists prognosticate a winter its severe as
that of 1812.

TIAARLEbt, OCT. 9.
The number of deaths at Groningen, in, the week end-
ing Oct. 5, was 158, which is a diminution of only four,
compared with the preceding week.
AIIiSTERDAU, OCT. 8.
According to private letters from Groningen, the state
°I the province was again less favourable, the number of
I;th.ek having much increased in proportion to the deaths, so
stat On Saturday, the 30th Sept., there were 34 added to
re list. The distress becomes daily greater ; but much
expected from the zeal of the medical men, which is
rren of in the highest terms. Professor Bakker and
.Wolthers are particularly mentioned.

ROTTERDAM, OCT. 9.
The itceounts from Groningen, to the sth of this month,
state the number of the sick to be dreadfully great, being
"timated at between 9,000 and 10,000.

Frankfort Papers of the sth instant, have likewise
been received this morning. The only article worth
hotieing is an extract of a letter, said to have been re-
Ve4e4 ii9nl the rfaticre of Moldavia, asserting that

Peace is to be preserved between Russia and Turkey.
How the writer of this letter, dated Sept. 19, can be
informed of the answer to be given by the Turkish
Plenipotentiaries on the 7th of this month, remains to
be explained; and his statement, therefore, resolves it-
self into nothing but inference, not perhaps warranted
by facts known at the time :

NUREMBIIRG, OCT. 4.

His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg,
arrived here the day before yesterday from Coburg, and
will 'remain here a few days.

BERLIN, SEPT. 30.

While the Konigsberg Journal continues to discuss the
question, whether the exportation oI corn is advantageous
or injurious, exportation continues without intermission,
and it is probable that the decision of the question will
come when it can be of no use.

lIANOVER, OCT. 4.

The expenses of the camp, at Stocken is estimated at
50,000 dollar,. It seems that in future there is to be a
camp, for the exercise of the troops once in every two
years. We have now here the Duke and Duchess of
Cumberland, and 'the Princes of Russia, Wurtemburg,
and Hesse.

The troops that are to form the camp marched last week
partly through, and partly near this city. On the Ist of
this month, his Royal Highness the Governor General
having inspected the troops, divine service was performed
in the open air, after which the whole corps defiled before
his Royal Highness.

MUNICH, SEPT. 30.
The King arrived here yesterday. . The Queen will set
out on the 4th of October.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 4.

Extract of a letter from the frontiers of Moldavia,
Sept. 7th (19th) :
The accounts just received from Constantinople, an-
nounce that the Sultan, whose firm and enterprising cha-
racter developes itself in the memorable crisis for the civi-
lisation of the Levant, considering peace as an absolutely
indispensable condition, to enable him to realise his pro-
jects, was well inclined to acquiesce in the only demand
which still delays the conclusion of a definitive peace; and
that orders are to be sent immediately to the Turkish
Commissioners at Akermann, to regulate and establish the
amicable relations between the two empires on solid foun-
dations, and to the satisfaction of both, parties.
This event has caused the greatest joy in this country,
because it secures us a continuance of peace, which is in-
di

rspensable for the prosperity of Moldaiia, which has been
ruined by the preceding troubles, and the long uncertainty
respecting its fate, and has no hops s but in peace, and the
paternal solicitude of his Highness the reigning Prince.
Thanks to Providence, and to the wise measures of the
Government, notwithstanding our interconrse with Con-
stantinople, the sanatary state of Moldavia is very satis-
factory, and there is not the smallest symptom of contagion
in any•part of the Principality.

BERLIN, SEPT. :30.
The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at Warsaw 01
he 11th instant.

Kingston Papers have been received at the Nora
and South American Coffee-house, to the '2sth Aug.
inclusive, the following are extracts :

On Friday last, about twenty minutes before one P.st.,
two smart shocks of an earthquake were distinctly felt in
this town, and we perceive by the paper, also at Montego
Bay, they were more like sudden gusts of wind than irre-
gular undulations, and shook all the dwellings, particularly
in the more elevated situations in the town. The stores of
Mr. Harris in Church-street, were damaged, but we hive
heard of no serious injury of any description. His Ma-
jesty's packet, Lord Sidmouth, is appointed to sail from
Port Royal on the sth Sept. His Majesty schooner -
was to proceed Aug. 26, with convoy to the Havannah,
his Majesty's ship Dartmouth, Captain Dundas, and his
Majesty's ship Aurora, sailed on the 20th August, for the
Havannah and Great Britain. His Majesty's ship Harle-
quin, was to sail on the 26th August, mid would give con-
voy to the trade that may be ready for St. Jugo de Cuba.
Commodore Laborde, with the Spanish squadron, con-
sisting of a 74, four frigates, and a schooner, sailed from
the Havannah on the 296 August, and were spoke on the
6th September, steering .S. E., a few hours before the
commencement of a hurricane (by the brig Merad, bound
for Gibraltar) which vessel, whilst laying-to under bare
poles, in lat. :33. long. 77. was overset, and obliged to cut
away the main rigging; that not answering the purpose, they
cut away the fore-rigging, both masts broke in the partners,
taking with them the bowsprit, and the brig righted, with
four feet water in the hold, and the loss of two seamen, who
were drowned, and every thing lost off the deck, two of
the dead lights stove in, and the upper works much injured.
She was proceeding for the first port in the United States.

13y an arrival at this port, we learn that fifty-two negroes and
one white man who had been condemned as conspirators in the
late insurrection at Porto Rico, were soon to be executed and that
the Governor of the Island, had passed through Ponce, on his way
to the place of execution.—Boston Patriot, Sept. 14.

Gibraltar Chronicles of, the 21st- September have
been received this morning ; they contain a long list of

the names of the Members of the Cortes 'and other
persons excepted in the twelfth article of the Royal
Act of Amnesty (proscription) of the Ist of May, 1824,
who are condemned to death, with confiscation of their
property and effects. The general contents of these
papers furnish a melancholy proof of the falling for-
tunes of Spain, under the contemptible guardian-
ship of her absolute, slave, and his priestly trai-
tors, who are luckily accelerating their dissolu-
tion, by being left to the freedom of their own
most infallible road to ruin which the
advisers of His MAJESTY could invent. It ap-,
pears that the eastern coast of Spain continues to
be ravaged by Algerine and Colombian cruisers, who
make capture of every vessel venturing out of, or
going into, a Spanish Port. The consequence is,
that trade and commercial enterprise are completely
destroyed, and the sight of the Spanish flag has become
a wonder along its own coast, from the consternation
inspired by the presence of these audacious piratical
adventurers. This is a hopeful realization of the
golden reign of FERDINAND and his dark advisers,—
Sn
but
- ra;.n fallen so low that even hate could not
wish her worse, although charity would smile to behold
the
People and their rulers change places.

The public
Papers.for the last month have been
unusually tragic in the number of melancholy suicides,
murders, and
other crimes of a less heinous nature ;
but as if public
sympathy was not sufficiently excited
by these real events,
it appears that several affecting
cases have been
got -n a superlative style of interest-
ing horror, for no bun prebend,
u 1) i :
. -t'ose, that we can com
but to outrage public sensibility for a paltry considera-
tion. Who the parties are that labour in this visionarY
vocation we do not know, but we think that the
Journals first imposed on, ought to bring such
scandalous Abysm of truth to justice, or at least to

denounce them to the world by well merited exposure.
If their object, be to bring the press into ridicule by such
attempts at describing the moving accidents that may
take place, they are marvellously mistaken, nor can they
acquire any honorable distinction by palming off as real
a " touching tale of woe," when by the mere alteration
of dates, names, and locality, and a due admixture of
brutal ferocity in one character, with tender sensibility
and confiding honour in the other, any case of a
year's standing, like one of Joe Miller's jests,
may be stamped with all the air of affected origi-
nality. But even this trick, like baby's play, gets
stale, and the " poisoned chalice returns to plague the
inventor." The most charitable construction which
can be put upon this last shift of some desperate genius,
seems to be that the thing is concocted to satisfy the
irresistible callsofh unger,and nothing is more natural than
that he should conjure up a fictitious tale from the mus-
ings of his moody madness, harping on a good dinner,
with the prospect ofstarvation darkening in the distance
—and so he strikes of an ideal woe from the vivid
apprehension of his own sad fate—

THE FUNDS.

CITY, Twelve e' Clock.

Consols opened at 80 i, and for November at 801 1; the only
alteration has been to 801, but they have since returned to their first
price; the continuation is scarcely a sixteenth per Cent., and very
few transactions. In the Foreign Funds the whole of the atten-
tion of speculators is directed to Colombian Bonds ; the reports
relative to this security are so various that it is impossible to give
a quotation front one minute to another, whilst numbers believe
the shipment of dollars to be a hoax—and others are equally con-
fident that every thing 'is right; they report that the party bring-
ing Iturtado the dispatches which announce the readiness of
the dollars for shipment, is now in town. In this state of the
question it would be more creditable for a gentleman holding such
an official situation, if he were to set at rest this state of uncertainty
at once, without giving such an opening for gambling. The
Bonds, which after hours yesterday were S9j- /, opened this morn-
ing at 40} /, fluctuated again to S9t, and are now at 40i- ;
Mexican do not move, 6l / being t e price. In Shares, the
Real del Monte are better, and only 30 to 40 dis. There appears
nothing doing in the other Schemes.
