AUGSBURG, APRIL 15.

Count Golowkin and M. de Tatischeff, it is af-
firmed, have completed the negotiations with which
they were charged. It seems, that the Treaty of 1788
is renewed, by which Austria and Bassi.' engaged to
act in concert against the Porte. This Treaty fixed
also the number of auxiliary troops which the first of
these Powers was to bring into the field.
In Turkey all is in motion ; Tartars, with dis-
patches, depart successively from Constantinople, to
repair to the different Pachalicks of the Empire. The
Pacha of Belgrade, in particular, has received im-
portant orders relative to the arrival of numerous
corps in Servia, where a considerable army is to be
formed as a check on tlke cordon of Austrian troops
posted towards the extreme frontier of the Bannat of
Temeswar. The Ottomans are likewise reinforcing
them elves in Bosnia and Turkish Croatia, a report
ig been spread that the Austrian army (which
to come from Italy through the Venetian terri-
was going to take up a positipn in Illyria, and

that the head-quarters of this army would be at. Ga-
r the Capital of Austrian Croatia.

=TRACT FROM A PRIVATS COMMUNICATION.
Several mercantile letters have given rise to a red
port, which has been in circulation in some parts of
the south of Germany, that an English fleet would
be immediately sent to cruise in the Baltic. It was
even said that this news had excited some sensation
at Rigd, where there is a Russian squadron.
It is a ffiimed, that the last dispatches which the
Cabinet of Berlin has received from the Court of
Vienna, relate to a Convention agreed upon between
Prince Metternich and M. de Tatischeff, to regulate
the future fate of the Greek nation, and determine
its political existence. A similar communication is
said to have been made to the Court of the Tuilleries,
and to the English Government.
We shall soon know what to think of the part
which Prussia will take in approaching events.
Everything leads to the presumption that it cannot
remain neuter in the present state of political
affairs. This important question will be decided as
soon as it is officially known that Austria has finally
made an alliance with Russia.

A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, by which
we have received Jamaica Papers to the 12th March.
The following are extracts :

TOBAGO, JANUARY it.

The melancholy task devolves upon us this day of
recording a most unfortunate catastrophe, we mean
the destruction of a great portion of the town of
Scarborough, by a fire which broke out in the upper
story of the house formerly occupied by Mr. Sawyer.
So rapid was the conflagration that, in a short space
of time, a large building, with the adjoining one,
belonging to Samuel Hall, Esq. were totally con-
sumed, with several other buildings. His Excellency,
the Governor, after providing for the safety of his
family at Government House, rode into the town.
and, by prompt and energetic orders, soon placed the
town in safety.

FROM THE JAMAICA COURANT OF THE 9TII MARCH•
Sierra Leone Gazette: to the 15th December ar-
rived on Thursday, which contain a letter dated Free-
town, 24th November, on board the Sapper, stating,
" that &ling their last cruize they fell in with nine
slave ships, seven of which were boarded, and found
to be trench, completely fitted for the slave trade.
Most of the French vessels are fitted out at Nantes.
One of the schooners was a mere boat, although she
had on board 153 slaves, all packed together: these
poor creatures were in a pitiable state. A large French
brig from Nantes is now lying at the mouth of the
Sheba. Wehave at length the gratification to announce
the arrival of our excellent Governor, Gen. M'Carthy,
in the Ceres: the Civil and Military Authorities, with
the inhobitants, received his Excellency on the wharf,
and accompanied him to the Government-house."

Advices have been received from Vienna, by Ex-
press, of the 13th of this month, which is three days
later than the advices received by the Mail, some-
what favourable to peace. The metallic Stock had im-
proved, it is said, three-quarters per Cent. and all
Foreign Securities had improved in proportion. Let-
ters from Holland state the Foreign Securities to be
on the rise.

We regret to learn from the Brazils that there are
numerous importations of. slaves. We understand
that, in one week previous to our last dates from Per-
nambuco, 3,000 slaves arrived there, of whom one
ship, of about 300 tons, brought 1,000!
The Spanish Minister at Washington has protested
officially against the proposed recognition of the In-
dependence of the South American Republic.

There were two elections on Monday at the So-
ciety of Arts and Sciences. The first was for a Vice
President of the Society, in the room of the late Sir
NATHANIEL CONANT: Mr. HOPE was elected. The
second was the annual election for the Presidency of
the Department of Polite Arts: Mr. WARREN, the
engraver, was returned.
Some of our cotemporaries in the West have got
up a story of an " Opposition leader" in Edinburgh,
and a " Bard who tells the tales of ether times,"
being bound over to keep the peace. There is not
the least foundation for the statement.

The town of Haddington has been thrown into con-
siderable confusion, in consequence of an exten-
sive robbery committed on the East Lothian Bank.—
William Borthwick, the Cashier, who had been long
in the employ, and in whom the most implicit confi-
dence had been placed by the firm, was not at his
post on Tuesday morning, the 9th inst. At first no
suspicion was entertained ; but on inquiry, it was
found he had left his residence. An investigation into
the cause of his absence took place, when it was soon
discovered that he had absconded with bills and
Bank-notes to a very great amount.
In the western part of the county of Monmouth,
we regret to state that the refractory workmen have
been increased in number by some thousands from
the Rock, Tredegar, Sirhowey, and Pont-y-pool
works. The Scotch Greys have remained at Aberga-
venny ; and the knowledge that the County Cavalry
are on the alert, and that application has been made
for some infantry, deters from actual violence; but
this state of things, it is feared, cannot last. In the
day-time, the men spread themselves through the
county, and solicit charity, with which they support
their families ; in the evening the) blacken their faces,
assemble on the bills, and use the most horrible threats
to deter those who think half a loaf better than no
bread, from working under the regular prices.
A Lady some tune back on a visit to the Britibh Museum,
asked the person in attendance, if they bad ajkull of Oliver Croix-
twit? Being answered in the negative " Dear me," said she,
that's very strange--they hair one at negative,
