This forenoon we received the Austrian Observer to
the 17th in,t. The following is an extract:

VIENNA, OCTOBER 15.

Among the crimes of a time which now belongs to
history, is the blowing up of some parts of the fortifica-
lions which surround the capital of the Austrian Mo-
narchy, after peace was concluded. From the ruins of
the destroyed works there has arisen, by the care of the
Emperor, new works, which comprehend in their vast
extent large squares and a public garden, appropriated
to the recreation of the inhabitants of thii capital. Ac-
cording with the intentions of the Emperor, tao
great usilinnments adorn the theatre of preceding,
devastation—one a Memorial of the triumphant
snuggle with unpatalNled difficulties, the other con-
secrated to the Arts. A portal, the architectrite of
which is in the purest style, closes the square befote the
Imperial Palace. A temple, built on the model of the

temple of Theseus, at Athens, contains Canova'sl
greatest work.
The whole has been executed by the soldiers, and
thus the same hands which, dining a more than twenty
years war, combated the enemies of the country, have
contributed, after the re•e,tablishment of tranquillity, to
the noblest works of peke.

The public garden has been finished above a year,
and the Palace gate, with the adjoining works, have
been completed for some weeks past. His Imperial
Majesty, however, wished particularly to indicate the
historical design of this gate by.the time when it should
be opened, and has therefore ordered that this shall take
place on the eleventh anniversary of the battle of
Leipsig, which was so importaut to all Europe, and
especially to Germany.

Frankfort Papers to the 23d inst. reached us this fore-
noon. One of them contains a letter from Smyrna,'
dated the 17th Sept. which states that " an engagement
took place from the 9th to the 11th of this month, be-
tween the Greeks and a division of the Turkish and
Egyptian squadrons. The Greeks succeeded in setting
fire to a Turkish corvette, but they lost five or six fire-
ships and one or two brigs. 'rne Turks were preparing
to return to Samos, to attack that island. Troops are
still assembled at Scala Nuova, and in the environs."

Brussels Papers to the 26th of October, reached us
this forenoon. One of them states that " the number of
persons arrested in the kingdom of Wirtemberg, for
political transgressions, is 17. They ere most strictly
guarded in the fortress of Holten Asperg. It is affirmed•
however, that M. Leisching is not accused of revolu•
tionary intrigues, but of dangerous connection with the
French Liberals."

Accoents from Brussel* of the 25th inst. state, that
news had been received from St. Petersbuigh, of the
9th of this month, by which we learn that the Empress
Dowager was to set out on the 10th. for Jamburga, a
little town about twenty leagues from the Capital, to
meet the Prince and Princess of Orange, who were ex-
pected at Gatschina on the 12th.

Dutch Papers to the 27th inst. and Hamburgh Paper;
to the 22d, reached us this forenoon. The following are
extracts:

ST. PETERSBURGBI, OCTOBER 9.

In almost all the cities of the empire, convenient and
roomy prisons are now building, by order of the Em-
peror.—The fair at Neschney Newopod has turned out
very favourably. The wine-merchants, in particular,
have done a great deal of business. The Government,
had lowered the rent of the magazines 30 per cent.
During the whole of this summer the drought in the
Crimea has been excessive : almost all the wells were
dried up by the burning heat of the sun.
The exports fiorn Riga in July, were nearly four
and a half millionsof rubles; the imports, 890,000 rubles.
