Vienna has already precurcd a prohibition on the part '
of Austria against the sending of any ammunition to
South America for the it:En-gents. The steps taken
for the sare-i object at London have not yet
eeeded. Ceett of Rutpia is also endeavouring
to induce all the European Powers to conclude a
treaty, binding themselves to adopt common and ri-
gotous meisures against pirates wherever they may
exercise their hostile profession. These pirates are
now dividei into five different classes, vie..—The
armed vessels of the South Ametican losurgents,
which hsve already appeared on the coasts of the'
north of Europe. 2. Ihe Italian and Turkish cor-
stirs in the Achipelago, and the eastern parts of the
Mediterranean, which are for the most part fitted out
by individuals. 3. The Barbary corsairs, who have!
lately dared to insult the Russia' Rag. We are as-,
►ured that a Russian squadron is about to repair to
Tunis, to demand satisfaction, and to employ force
if satisfaction be refused. 4. The corsairs in the East
Indies, and the. Chinese sea, which are so powerful in
the latter quarter that the Chinese main: force can-
not oppose them. 5. The Arabian pirates in the Per-
sian Gulf and the neighbouring seas, whose force is
very considerable. They are extremely dangerous to
all European vessels sailing to India. The English
are equipping a squadron to reduce then,. We are
assured that the Cabinets of London and Petershiergh
have concurred in addressing Sety-Aly-Schach, to
induce him to prohibit the fitting out of these corsairs
in his ports."
News from Berlin mention a fray, attended with
bloodshed, which took place the 7th of this month,
between some men of the Landwehr, troops of the
line, and Burgesses of the city ; many of the n have
been very severely wounded.

PEFERSBURGH, AUGUST 29.
Since the greatest part at Poland has formed a
distinct kingdom under the role of the Emperor, we
cannot overlook the favourable changes which have
been operated in that State There have been ebta
blaed ant only bawls for sciences, but also a great
number of elementaly ones and seminaries, which
are already on a very good footing. The method of
Pestalozzi is followed in some parts of Polatid ; but
that of Lancaster berms better suited to the country,
and the Emperor has already sett for, in order to
establish him at Warsaw, one of the young Russians,
who have been studying this method in England at
the expense of the Government.

A great banking-house at Vienna lately received
from one of its correspondents at Boston a letter,
which has been obligingly communicated to us for
the purpose of publishing the following extract from
it in our paper

America has no need of artistes and mechanic-, fur all manufac-

with EngL,ii pods, which are sold at any prise. Provisions are
