FROM HUNGARY. J.11411.7ARy 4.

Accounts received from the Buckowina inform us
" that in the Russian frontier towns the inhabit-
ants were forbiddest to give any information abroad
of the marches of the troops. On the ether hand they
write from Transylvania, that the Turks are really
making all preparations to evacuate Moldavia."---
These accounts excite great sensation here, and some
persons expect that we shall hear, within a week,
that the Russians have passed the Pruth. Others
doubt this. Some again believe the Russians will
occupy Moldavia and Wallachia, in consequence of
a Convention with the Porte ; yet Turkish reinforce-
ments arrived at Jassy on the 27th.

The Havannah Packet, which arrived at Liverpool
yesterday se'nnight, has brought letters from Haven-
nah to the 13th December, and from Vera Crux tol
the 17th November. By these letters we learn that
the Imperial Army of Mexico, which had taken pos-
session of Vera Crux in the month of September, had
suffered so much from the yellow fever, and by de-
sertions caused by the dread of the fever, that only
100 invalids were left in the town. In consequence
of this, Governor DAVILLA, who had retired to the
Castle of San Juan, in the harbour, on the approach
of the Imperialists, wrote to the Governor of Haven-
nah that be was about to leave the fortress, and take
possession of the city of Vera Cruz. The opinion at
Havannas was, that the Imperial Army would not
again approach the coast, and the port would remain
in possession of Old Spain.

When. at the commencement of that system of
murder and outrage which has since attained such
an alarming height in Ireland; it was stated that the
Yeomanry would be called out, we declared that this
was the worst species of force which could be em-
ployed in quelling the disturbances. The Yeomanry
of Ireland are peculiarly obnoxious to the peasantry ;
is the north they are nearly all Orangemen, and in
the south there is scarcely a Catholic admitted among
them ; so that they are wholly, either by political o

religious prejudices, not only totally alienated from
the peasantry, but in hostile array against them.
—Their coming into contact was always an neat
meth to be dreaded ; and the fearful anticipations
which were entertained have been too full/ realised.
The fatal stair at Cork, of Ibhith we gave an ac-
count in the STAft of ytisterday; would scarcely have
occurred if the party had been soldiers ; the pea-
santry would have been lesi hostile, the yeomanry less
vindictive. It appears that on an attempt made by
the peasantry to rescue two men who bad been taken
for keeping an illicit distillery, one or both of the
prisoners was deliberately shot by the Yebritinry.
—The act was as useless as it was cruel; and the pea-
santry, naturally exasperated, recommenced their law-
less attack. The Yeomang then fired upon them,
and it is said that many were killed and wounded.—
If such an act'of signal vengeance was intended to in-
timidate the peasantry, we fear it will be found quite
abortive; and that, on the contrary, it will rather
ran the flame it was intended to quench, and excite a
more rancorous and more deadly revenge.

Gibraltar Papers to the 4th instant have been re-
ceived. They contain nothing of importance. It is
stated in one of them that a free intercourse is now
re-established between the Provinces of Murcia and
Grenada 014 the one hand, and that of Malaga and
the Cities or towns of Barcelona, Tortosa, Asco, and
Las Aquila:, on the other.
A private letter from Paris, dated January 21,
states, that a very serious disturbance bad broken out
at Brest, and that shots had been exchanged between
the garrison and the people, who endeavoured to
gain posseskm of the Chateau, but failed.
The following is an extract of a private letter to a
respectable merchant in the City, dated Philadelphia,
December 29:—" I have to inform you that a gene-
ral revision and correction of the duties imposed
open foreign nierchandize seems to be hinted at ;
many of the articles, which pay but 15 per cent.
ad valorem, ought in justice as well as policy, to pay
25 per cent. which is the duty paid on the principal
articles of woollen and cotton manufacture ; the
same is applicable to some of the articles 20 per cent.
ad valorem; and a correction of the existing duties,
with a view to an increase of the public revenue,
could not fail to effect that object to the extent of
nearly 1,000,000 dollars annually. It is highly i ro.
,bable that an increase of duty on some of tho,e mo-
des might eventually cause a reduction of the Reve-
nue, but this can only take place where similar arti-

clef are manufactured in the country ; in that event,
domestic manufactures will have been fostered, and
the general ability of the community to contribute to
the public exigencies will proportionably increase:"

EXTRACT Ol A LETTER IROI:IIIAVANNAD, DEC. 10.
" On the 30th of November we had a terrible de-
luge. I was in bed in a room considerably elevated
born the ground, and being awakened by the noise
of the heavy rain, found the water had entirely co-
vered the floor. For two days I could not leave my
house. It is feared much havock has been made in
the sugar plantations; and it is said the canes are so
much injuied, as to ruin the prospect of the next crop.
As to the coffee, all that had not been gathered from
the trees has been inundated, and s?read over the
ground. The steam-boat Robert Fulton arrived heic
the day the Alonzo sailed, and laid off for the pur-
pose of landing her passengers; but permission being
infused, she was compelled to go in and enter."

The daughter of Inept, BONAPARTE, mentioned
some time since as staving embarked for America,

/. Mrs. Cou vs, on Tuesday last, again enlivened the
county jail o Staffordshire, by giving the prisoners,

plum-pudding, a half-quartern loaf, and a quart of
ale to each.
The Earl and Countess BATHURST entertain a dis-
tinguished party this day, at their house in Cleat

place. In the evening his Excellency had a concert.
By the Returns of the Expense of the Poor in Eng-
land and Wales, it appears, that, for law expenses
only, in the year 1819, more money was paid than
the whole expenditure for the KING, his Court, Mi-
nisters, Judges, Ambassadors, the Princes, and all the
State Pensioners added together. The whole expenses
of the Poor amount to a sum equal to the revenue of
the Emperor of Russia, who maintains an army of a
million of soldiers, and to more than twice the ex-
penses of the Government of the United States.

Monday, a Wardmote was held at the church of
