ERECitVED THIS 1409.NibiG.)

VIZI'MA, DRG. 1 few days ago thirteen
persons arrived bete tinder a guard, whom the
Russian •goveentuent delivered up at the frontiers.
They made false paper currency of Vienna, and
arc said to have carried on a very profitable rout-
uterce with it front Russian Poland to Odessa, and
thence to Moldavia. Since the day before yester-
day' , most foolish reporti were spread here
au approaching war between Russia and the
Porte, of a Treaty binding Austria to assist, of
the ward' of troops to the Bukowitie, of
the establishment of . magazines, and contracts
for horses for the army. The journey of Ge-
neral Count Walmodea to Berlin (which he
really made, but merely' on family business)
furnished the ground for those absurdities, of
which tiot a syllable 18 true ; but which, however,
so affected- 'our Exchange, that it fell in one day
taar. .t.) Yrer cent. I r was down yesterday at 364,
bat rose to-day to 355. A few days ago a courier
was dispatched to St. Petershutgb, whose dis-
patches are said to relate to the emnpromive of saute
differences between Portugal Said' Spain. The
. winter has ttOssi set in here pretty severely, but
unluckily without snow, so that the fields being
quite exposed, it is to be feared that the summer
tatrit, which has been brought very forward by
the warm autumnal Weather, wilt again suffer.
torn, now that the sowing season ap-
proaches, becomes rather dearer than cheaper ;
and even balky, which has yielded such an
aboatlant crup this year, is rising, because the
bakers use it in baking bread. Potatoes, too,
which are usually live Ones as cheap as Rye, are
now out of all proportion dear. ,
Ettom Paossta, Dec. 11.—ft is confirmed tbai
it is really intended tit introduce the Liberty of the
Press into the whole Prussian Monarchy, by a w-
ticolar law. Already, in 1814, at Vienna, the
Prime Chancellor of State caused the Noject.of
this Law to be conmenckd, suet evert duri,,g the
pressure of business at Paris in 1815, the promotion
of this object was seriously attooted to. Unfore•
seen obstacles caused the matter to be dropped for
a while, but it is now taken up again. To those
who fear various disturbances front the introdue.
tiou 4 a flatten Annnam Act, who even think

that the pttate and unanimity aniong the Members
of the German Confederation might suffer by it,
ace recommend a passage the last number of the
Swiss Unworn, which, speaking of Switzerland
tin this point of view, says--" One may conceive
a unanimity among the 'Cantons which would be
were thin discord,.a sweet charming Peace, to
which a War between all the tWenty.twoC,lntnn%
would he preferable. Whodpes not know that there
are depravities, in which all thepowers.of the soul
set in unison The dcvil Is in himself a highly
uniform and consistent personage ; Christ was in
b 4 time truly a disturber of repose;" front which,
however, the salvation of all is derived. The de-
fence of the nerturc Suri;eiliant, a translation of
which will shortly appear at Berlin, from the pen
of 9 learned lawyer, slims with much ability the
advantages of the Liberty of the Ness ; but we
!twee round nothing more to the purpose than is
in the above Paper, in the Journal we bore

'goofed.
DeC, l4.—Since our Government has
so posit i ely contradicted the abblird reports
which the Jobbers have spread, our' Exchange
has,cous7ikrably risen. Exchange in Augsburg—
Übanee, 3-14, Convention money 345 ((i
310.)
VIENNA, DEC. 16.—They tall, of a new finan-
cial operation, by which the rate of Exchange of
our Paper Currency is to be provisionally fixeil
from tilt new year at 300, and the notes to be
taken antt issued at all the Bureaux at this rate.
filleUgh nothing farther is !mown, thii news has
had a fivourableinfluence in the Exchange, which
wai on the llth ot 360, and is now 3-la.
MosfssoNGF. a, Doc. 10.—On the 3d some Corn.
jobbers, with tile assistance of the mob, caused
a tumult in ti,is town, which threatened to be at.
terilte4 it h hloodibed. Some corn purchased with
his Majesty's permission, for Switzerland, and
which, had been lying here some days, was to be
sent on that market-day to Landau. The people
opposed this, the gates were shut, some Officers
were greatly abuse,i and threatened, and it was
difficult to care the corn from pillage. The Ma-
gistrates remained neuter, anti the Police had no
militafy at Its disposal-. An account of the affair
leas sent to ,the Couinthsioner•Generel of the
Circle at Ketnpten, whither also those who op-
posed the exportation sent a remonstrance, signed
by 71 }tenons. Among the Deputies were some
'A/embers of the Municipal Council, who had also
the paper. The Commissioner expressed
I:is displeasore
,to the Deputies, made them
rzsponsible for what bad happened, and sent

them home, saying, Le 0100111 tethi
for orders. These soon came and ordaioed, that
a Special Commission should be sent to examine
the affair, the' guilty brought to punishment, a
Military Commandant go to Mentmenger with
three companies to take the command, the
ruonstrance, with the many bi gnator es given hack
as illegal, with the addition, that in Ctiire of fat-

thstr discordance in the corn-mat ker, it should be
wholly abolished. All is now quite igitiet, and
the corn-market to-day- passed over without,dis-

turbsnce. There is no want of supplies, for there
always remains corn unsold in the ►narket.
Rut the distress at the people is great, and in-
creased by the dearness of the corn. It is a fact
that 36 horses have been killed in this Circle, and
sold at five kreuter a pound. The very poorest
people even eat dog's flesh. Yet every where a
great deal is clone for the relief of the indigent.
Similar scenes have taken slice at Augsburg and
Ratisbon, and the interior officers are every where
in danger at being led to well-meant but injudi-
cious meltsures, and thus to Colninit mistakes
which the Government severely punishes.

NEW YORK, DEC. 4.—Every one here takes a deep
nterest in the affairs of our Southern neighbours.

The following are the latest accounts that have
reachei us respecting the Revolutionary war in

America

(Frum the Nrw York Gazette of the id init.]

ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S, Nov. 11 —Accounts were
received a few days since, via St. Thomas, stet-
ing, dint a severe engagement was fought on the
28th of October, on the plains of 'Barcelona, six
miles distant from the town, bet ween the Royal
and Patriot Armies. Sir Gregor Al'Gregor com-
manded on the part of the Patriots, and General
Morales for the Royalists. Toe forces were about
equal, 7000 strong. 111'Gregor succeeded in tak-
ing 2.500 prisoners, and killing 8 or 900, and got
possession of the town, General Morales had es-
caped into the mountains, leaving behind him his
horse, baggage, &e.
The Patriots were in possession of several other
ports of the main. Their fleet was said to be
at Margaretta. The Patriot privateers are-cruis-
ing in great numbers between St. Thomas and
Porto-Rico. Several American and English ves-
sels have been boarded by then►, and treated with
the greatest politeness. They have recently cap-
tured several Spanish vessels with valuable cargoes.
Baurtmoutt, Nov. 28.—8 y the Fair American,
arrived this mproing tram Sr. Thomas, we have
received the following important hews :—" Late
accounts front the Spanish Main, received at St.
Thomas, represent the operations of the Patriot
_forces as successful in every reucontre : they had
captured the . city of Caraccas acid Ltigtllra, .►ntl
carried their arms as tar to leeward as Pot to Ca-
vallo, of which they are in possession from Orir-
noko down."
