We leave our Readers to make the applications which
this anecdote will not fail to suggest. The waspish
irritation of a little mind, descending to unworthy re-
prisals against the insects of virulence that bussed amend
him, is nowhere visible here: at all events, Jonu,',
Duke of Msnutoaouon—when his life comes to
be contrasted by the historian, with that of the
modern aspirant after similar -fame and glories—
must stand acquitted. of all arbitrary RIIIIIREgo,
when he changed the sword for the insignia
civil power, and bad at least as good an opportunity,
as that which the Duke of WZLLINGTON has used, to
trample under his feet the privileges and rights of opinion.
Such is the historical contrast of the HERO of At m, and
the 4' greatest Captain" of GronoE IV !

The Austrian. Obse►ve► of the 17th, instant just re-
ceived, gives a fearful account of the recent earthquake
which spread desolation through Transylvania, and '-
vicinity of Bucharest. It speaks thus :
WALLACHIA.

The earthquake which was fek is the eight of the tilth Nov. lq
Odessa. Jassy, Curnowits, fierntanstadt, Nroustadt, and may
other plates in Transylvania, and the Ikkkowina, did considerable
damage at Bucharest. A letter from time Mi. dated 4th Dee.
lays :—" One hundred and fifteen bows.. amens which is that

of the late earthquake. Fifteen churches are se much Injured that
they cannot be used. Happily no perms ',risked. except a young
woman, who was killed by the fail of a were. near which she slept.
The town of Klopins, on the rood to Eronstadt, has suffered in
proportion more than Duchene.
The newly .erected cherub. and a large beset were thrown down :
all the other dwelling-benne have sustained great Injury. The
habitants of Bucharest dread the return of this dreadful natural I
phenemertea. Mater now reigns here In all ha rigour; the tber-

The Allgemeine Zeitung of tbe 22d announces, on the
authority of letters from Warsaw, the arrival of the Grand
Duke Cox STANTINE and his august consort in that city;
and informs us further, that his Imperial Highness would
shortly go to St. Petersburgh, on a visit to the Emperor.
We have likewise a singular account of the proceedings
of the Persian Prince Cnosauw Manes while at MOS-
COW. It is as follows:
. Prince Chosrew Mina. oa his return to fit. Petersborgh, passed
some days at Moscow, when be appeared to be much pleased with
the numerous fetes gives in Ms honour, at which be behaved with
great politeness to the ladies. It is reported that. according to the
Oriental custom, be bad even asked the bands of three young ladies
at once/ intending to take them as his wives to Persia. However,
on its being explained to him that the accomplishment of this wish
was incompatible with European manners, he mode an apology tie
his mistake. He made numerous purchases in Moscow, espeddir
of fowling-pieces.
The accounts from the Principalities respecang the plague urn
less favourable ; bet it is hoped that the berating cold wrn wake*

In the frontier towns of Poland and Galicia, trade is engem*
dull ; as the rigorous sanitary measures subject goods to a bag
.quarantine. whidt causes great delay in forwarding them to their
flitting. 22d Dee.

Frankfort Papers of the 22d iustant, which arrived this
morning, publish the subjoined communication from the
Commercial Gazette of St. Petersburgh. The Rus-
sians, by all accounts, would really appear to be a happy
and prosperous people. The communication is dated
from Odessa :
Since the 21st of September, when the aline of the artillery an-
nounced the eeochision of peace with the Pont, this town las
become more sad more animated. There are in the port and
roadstead, above three hundred vessels, which are loaded
and unloaded with incredible activity, as if to make as
forget the last two years—during which we have hardly seen
a merchantman. Oar stock of wheat is beginning to be very
low ; bet as supplies continue to arrive from the interior of the
empire the prices do act rise. The free navigation of the She&
Sea being obtained for all nations, will tend to make ear commerce
very floorisbing : the establishment of the branch of the house of
L. &kstlis and Co. of St. Petenbuigh will sue ems abate to it •
