in the cantonments of the remaining troops. The dis-
positions agreed upon between the four great Allied

A frigate has been built at Trieste, of S 6 guns, in
order to convey Count F.z.z to the Brazils, as A mins-
sador from the Austrian Court. It is called the
Auirkhe, and will be the first Austrian ship seen on

cial announcement of a 'navy of Peace and Amity

having been concluded, en the 2.5 th of Imuary hat,
between his Government and the Dey and Regency
of Amens.

The intelligence from other parts, however. de-
scribes the Mediterranean as still grievously infested
by pirates. At Otranto, two ships of war have been
fitted out expressly for the protection of trading ves-
sels, and an expectation is expressed of an English
squadron arriving to co-operate with them in clearing
the neighbouring seas.
It appears by letters from Martinique, that three
earthquakes were felt there on the 9th, 224 and 23d
of December. No accident happened, nor was any
phenomenon observed to which these agitations of
the earth could be ascribed.
The Spanish Government has issued a new Decree,
enlarging the time allowed to holders of foreign cot-
ton goods to sell them, to the end.of the present year.
Such goods as they may export trust pay a duty of
six per cent. but all goods unsold or unexported at
the end of the year, are to be placed at the disposal
of Government.

It is reported that accounts have this day reached
town of an insurrection of a very serious nature hav-
ing taken place at Madrid. We have not been able
to learn any particulars, nor the source of the in-
telligence.
