ST. PETHIJIBURGH, JUX2 16.

The Kirghis, in the Province of Ormsk, before they were
subject to Russia, led a Nomads life, and their sole (mew
pation was the breeding of settle. The continual war*
which they carried on with each other reduced theca to ths
greatest misery, which compelled them to submit to Russia,
and to settle about thirty years ago in the Russian territoryi
where lands were assigned to them. Their number not!

amounts to 3,900 individuals. At the outset they pined
a livelihood by hiring themselves as labourers to the Reo,

Some Yirghis tribe* living on the Steppe, beyond the

and implements of agriculture, as well as person* to in-

The ancient palace of the 'Chins of Little Tartary, at
Baktschiserai, the capital of the Crimea is now being re-
stored in its original form by the Emperor's orders.

We received this morning the Allgetneine
Zeitung of the sth instant. It appears that the
Russian squadron was to have sailed about the
end of June, and may, therefore, be shortly ex-
pected in the Downs. Its destination was not
known in St. Petersburgh, but there can be no
doubt that it is the Archipelago :

DIUXICS, JULY S.
The Royal Bavaria* Gazette of this day contains hi*
Majesty's proclamation, convoking the Assembly of the
States of the Kingdom for the 10th November this port
on which day the Deputies to the Second Chamber are re-
(paired to be present at Munich. His Majesty will in doe
time give notice of the day on which be will open the Ses-
sion in persoi. Field Marshal Prince Charles Von Wreds
is appoiwted by his Majesty President of the First Cham-
ber in the Fourth Assembly of the states, to meet ip
November.

rITERBEUNAIII, JUNE 20.
The newspapers have made you acquainted with the
Emperor's visit to the fleet at Cronstadt on the 4th, 9th, and
10th of this month. The equipment of this fleet in the
space of a few weeks, is a proof of what good may be
effected by determined resolution and judicious exertions ie
a branch of the public service, which it is well knows
had fallen into decay from having been neglected by the
Government for a long series of years. This squadron will
put to sea at the end of this month, but its real destiny
tion is in fact still a secret. If part of the public affirmed
that it is going to the Archipelago, to enforce,, if it should
be necessary, the proposals made to the Porte for the py
cification of Greece, these conjectures have not any offic►al
confirmation ; and many persons' are of opinion that the
fleet is merely to go on a cruise in the Baltic and the
North Sea, for the exercise of the crews._

Jamaica Papers of the 22d May have been
received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. The Colonial Legislature seen'
to have determined to discontinue the allowances
heretofore made to the troops employed in the
Island. The following are extracts :

PORT ANTONIO, MAY 15..--We are quite barren o f
nays ; the planters complain sadly of want of rain, so
every thing is burnt up. It is with sincere regret we oho
serve by these papers, that the conduct of the Bishop of
Jamaica is still the subject of an angry feeling. It would
seem that the Rector of St. Ann's has incurred his dis-
pleasure, in consequence of giving directions to his con-
gregatioa to sing certain parts of the anvice In hie church,
and the Bishop has commanded him to desist. It is ob-
served that the Bishop turned Mr. Bridges, the Rectors
out of his pulpit, to peke room for a Mr. Alves, and
prohibited the former from using a Chiral Service
he bad prepared, in conformity with the Rubric. His
parishioners have been in consequence extremely indignant
at his Eminence, and at a vestry of the chief inhabitants of
the parish, have addressed a letter to the Rector, express-
ing their regret at the discontinuance of the choral service.
The reply of the Rector, together with this letter, has been
respectfully submitted to the Bishop, and the circumstance
i
seem' to have excited considerable sensation n the Island.
We are, indeed, sorry to see such observations as theee.---
" Though Mr. Lipscomb, has become Lord Christopher, and
has exchanged the innocence of the kitten for the rapacity
of the cat, yet he must not think he can mouse upon Mr.
Bridges."
The Commissioners of Accounts held d a meeting op
the 18th of May, to confider the expediency of obey *

resolution di the Howe of Assembly passed in tha
last Session, to stop the allowances to the troops after
the let of June, unless the grievances complained
of by the imposition of duties without the Legis-
lature of the Islands' consent was fully redressed pre..
'ions to that day; this, which is considered a subject of
vital importance, was fully discussed by the Members of
the Board, and on the question being put by the Chair-
man, it was agreed that they could come to no resolution,
whereby it was conceived the whole effect of the resolu-
tion of the House on the 30th November, would be in full
operation, and the allowances of the troops be discontinued.

Accounts from Madrid, of the 28th June, mention that
letters have been received from Andalusia, stating that a re-
volt had taken place amongst the military stationed at Al-
geciras, and at the camp of St. Roch. Twelve officers
have been arrested, and the revolt put down. It appears
that the Regiment of Lealtad was the most conspicuous in
the above affair.

Accounts from Pampeluna, of the 20th June, state that
the commotion, in Catalonia and Arragon cause the
greatest alarm to the Spanish Government, and a Procla-
mation had been published, inviting the Spaniards to rise
en maim The French are repairing the fortifications of
Parnpeluna, and provisioning the citadel for a year.
Letters from La Guayra, of the 26th May, have been
received via St. Thomas's. Their contents are chiefly of a
commercial nature. Trade is described as improving.
Bolivar was still at the Caraccas, and employing himself in
making alterations in the Custom-house regulations. The
country was tranquil ; and, upon the whole, the informa-
tion may be considered rather of &favourable character.
Intelligence from Peru, via Colombia, has this morning
been received. It is mentioned that the opposition to the
Bolivian Constitution, is more and more strengthened, and
many of the individuals which were most in favour of the
Constitution, are now its most inveterate opponents.
—There was some expectation that the Peruvians
would make overtures to the Colombians, for the purpose
of aiding them in overthrowing the Bolivian Constitution,
and a body of 1600 men were proceeding to the frontiers for
the avowed purpose of inducing the Colombians to join
them in this measure. The news from Peru is considered
gvaerally as extremely unfavourable.

Gibralttir. Chronicles of the 20th June have been re-
ceived. On the.morning of the 19th, when the Colombian
cruiser Pinelamella was becalmed in a fog, off Ceuta, two
small Spanish revenue-boats boarded and took possession of
the brig-ecbooner, her price, laying off the Eastern Coast,
and carried her in the direction of Estepona, where she an-
shored, under the protection of the first tower in Terra
Neuva ; upon which, the next day, the Pinehincha fired
several broadsides. The prize has since been carried into
Algeciras.
His Majesty's packet brig Frolic has arrived with a
Leeward Island Mail. She sailed from Barbadoes on the
19th May, and from St. Thomas's on the 7th June.
The Marquis of Queensbury packet, from Falmouth,
arrived at Gibraltar on the 19th ult. and sailed from thence
for Malta on the 21st.
