VIENNA, DI ARCH 20.

It is confirmed that all the corps of the Austrian
army have been rendered moveable, and that orders
have been given for immediately forming an army
of reserve in the Austrian provinces of Italy. On the
other hand, the Emperor of Austria has ordered the
armies on the frontiers of Galicia to march, without
delay, by the shortest route to Italy.

Mails arrived to-day from Hamburgh and Hol-
land, with Papers to the 23d and 23th instant. The
following are the only extracts of any interest :

BERLIN, MARCH 20.
His Imperial Highness the Gtand Duke Nicholas
arrived here the day before yesterday, having made
his journey from St. Peterburgh in four days.

ST. PETERSBURGII, MARCH 7.
The following news has lately been received here
from China t—The name of the new Emperor is at
length confirmed : he, as well as his Government,
together with the whole Empire, is to be called Tau-
Ktitaa. The Emperor assumes this name at the be-
ginning of the Chinese new year (February, 1821).

CONSTANTINOPLF., FETIRUARY to.
According to the latest accounts received by the
Government, the troubles in Candia appear to be
more serious than was supposed. They are caused
!.)y a great insult offered to a Candiot by a Turk,
There had been a regular engagement, in which the
Candiots were victorious, who took a fort, and killed
the Pacha and beveral of his Chief Officers:

The VENOEUR has arrived at Portsmouth, from
Naples; and, according to a report spread on 'Change,
in eleven days ; but this is erroneous, as she left
Naples as far back as the 2‘24 February, and cannot
of course being any news.

Mr. Hvant, last night, in the House of Commons,
moved for a Return of the Expenses incurred by this
Government, in consequence of the detention of NA-
POLEON BONAPARTE, in the Island of St. Helena.—
The Honourable Member stated, that on the best in-
formation he could obtain, the annual expense en-
tailed on the country, by that measure, exceeded
£400,000, of which the Continental Powers bore no
part. Sir ROBERT WILSON and Mr. HUTCHINSON
took this opportunity of protesting against the deten-
tion of the late Emperor of France, as a measure
disgraceful to the country, and as a breach of public
faith towards the individual concerned.

The Report of the Roman Catholics Disabilities
Removal Bill was brought up, and the Amendments
made in the Committee were agreed to. Mr2CROKER
gave notice that, after the third reading of the Bill,
he should move a Clause, to make the Oath of Supre-
macy the same for both Catholic and Protestant. lle
then moved a Clause, to enable the Crown to make
a suitable provision for the Catholic Clergy. Lord
CASTLEREAGII opposed the measure, as being prema-
ture and ill-timed. Mr. CROKER then withdretv the
Clause for the present, and the Bill was ordered to
be read a third time on Monday.
The important question of the Timber Trade next
engaged the attention of the Ilouse•, which went into
a Committee on the subject of the Duties paid on the
Baltic Timber. Mr. WALLACE proposed a Resolu-
tion, which had for its object to reduce the present
Duties on Foreign Timber 10s. per load, and to im-
pose that Tax on American Colonial Timber, which,
at present is subject to no Duty whatever. A consi-
derable discussion took place upon the Resolution,
which was ultimately adopted, though with a de-
claration on the part of Mr. MARRYATT, Lord AL-
THORPE, Mr. BARING, and others, of their intention
to oppose the proposition, whenever a Bill to carry it
into effect should come before the House.

We are requested to call the attention of the Public
to a Bill Lately brought into the House of Commons
by Mr. DICKENSON, and very shortly to be read a
second time, which, if carried, will give very extra-
ordinary powers to Commissioners of Sewers. It ap-
pears intended to invest them with an arbitrary con-
troul over every navigable river in the kingdom ;
authorizing them to put down locks, and dams, and
sluices, wherever they please. If not exercised with
extraordinary discretion indeed, such a power may
be employed so as to prevent the flow of the tide up
many rivers, and, consequently, occasion a consi-
derable deposit of sand, or other matters, at and near
their points of junction with the sea, from the want
of that proper reflux which must take place when no
obstructions are offered. The subject is one which
particularly demands the attention of all ports situa-
ted at the mouths of navigable rivers.

Extensive alterations are making to the KtNo's
Cottage in Windsor Park, which are to be completed
before the approaching Ascot Races. A new suit of
apartments are building for the accommodation of
Sir B. BLOOMFIELD. A new lodge is likewise build-
ing at the entrance to the grounds.
Her MAJESTY is expected to take up her residence
at Cambridge House in the course of a day or two.
Workmen have been busily engaged since Monday in
improving the back part of the premises, and also in
the interior of the mansion.
The Duke and Duchess of CLARENcE visited Prin-1
cess SoPIIIA yesterday. _ _ _ I

The Princess AUGUSTA spent Wednesday evening
with the Princess SOPHIA, at her house in Connaught-
place.
Yesterday, the Princess AUGUSTA visited the Duke
and Duchess of CLAitexcE the Duke and Duchess of
GLOUCESTER; and the Duchess of KENT.

Yesterday, Prince LEOPOLD had a dinner party,
and also a numerous party in the evening.
It is understood that a good deal of communica-
tion and correspondence has taken place since some
of the Treasury corps have shewn symptoms of be•
coming refractory ; inquiries have been made, and
threats-held out, that if they are aot more obedient
to command, they will be scratched off the list, with-
out even the ceremony of a Court Martial.
The Lords of the Treasury have issued instructions
for discontinuing the practice of permitting wines and
other articles, belonging to private individuals, to be
sent home in transports from foreign stations.
The Poor Rates have been greatly reduced in many
parts of Sussex, in consequence of the low price of
provisions. The Brewers in the country are generally
falliqg their beer, and many Essex innkeepers have
' reduted hosting.

PARIS, MARCH 25.—We have received from Tunis the afflict-
ing intelligence that a violent hurricane from the N.E. blew,
without ceasing, from seven in the evening of the tith of February
to nine or ten in the morning, and caused the greatest disasters
in that Road. Many. .French and foreign trading vessels have
perished. The following are the details :—The squadron of the
Bey of Tunis has suffered an irreparable loss; the shore is covered
with the remains of ships, and above 1,500 dead bodies of sea-
men have been picked up on it. The country is in the greatest
consternation, and trade feels sensibly the losses occasioned by'
this hurricane. The following vessels were wrecked in the Tunis
Road :—A French brig, Captain Kieuller—a cabin-boy lost. A
ditto, Captain San Martin—Captain and cabin-boy lost. A ditto
bombardier, Captain lteuest. An English brig, Captain Cassar.
An Austrian ditto, Captain Cannelick. A Spanish brig, Capt.
Femenion—purser perished. A ditto, Captain Vinet. A Rus-
sian ditto, Captain Orland. A ditto, Captain Coplello. Two

Of the 29 ships in the Roads, the following were saved:—The

nian); Vaccatich, Viacello, (Austrian); Pozza, Cambari, and
llastauzi, (Russian). The two last, and 3d and sth, had their

coming from Naples, with wine, on the coast of Bizerte; also
two Maltese bombardiers, at Sous= ; and a Greek and a Spanl:h
vessel, laden with corn, at Monestier.

The Hastings Fishermen have laid up their boats,
in consequence of the late affray with the Preventive
Service, and the death of Stvaine. Many lives have
been lost in dreadful affrays of a like nature.
Mr. F—, the young Gentleman who was wounded
in a duel at Ascot Heath on Monday, in consequence
of a dispute at the Argyle. Rooms, as already stated,
died onWednesday night. The ball, which had lodged
in the left shoulder, was extracted, but mortification
ensued, and baffled all medical aid. The deceased
was of a mo,t respectable family in Devonshire, on
the Staff of the Army, and 22• years of age.
The typhus fever has lately made its appearance in
Dumfries. In one house the father and mother of four
children, all lying ill at the same time, have fallen
victims to this insidious malady. The children have
since been removed to the Infirmary..
Tuesday, a melancholy spectacle was witnessed in a field near
Long Govan, Glasgow :—Two boys, one apparently seven, the
other ten years of age, decently dressed in corduroy, with their
school books, were discovered lying in a field, the one senseless,
the other dead. They were carried to the house of David Dreg-
horn, vintner, where the usual means for resuscitation were
tried, without effect, on the one. On the boards of one of the
books is written " Daniel Hamilton."

The 15th instant, the body of a man was observed lying at the
bottom of " I loatson's Wed," a dark solitary eddy on the river
Ken, in Galloway, and well known to the country people as the
identical spot where a person of that name perished many years
ago. From long immersion and other causes, the body had be-
come so much swollen and disfigured, that the person by whom
'it was first discovered Pelt considerable disinclination to venture •
into the water ; but having given the alarm, he was immediately
accompanied to the spot by two Gentlemen, who succeeded in
extricating the corpse front the mass of sand and gravel in which
it bad been left by the falling of the river. In the pockets of the
deceased were found a watch, pencil,pentnife, &c. together with
four numbers of the" Percy Anecdotes ." but there were no letters
or papers that could lead to a knowledge of his name, and the
*lunge in his features had been so great in the course of a few
days, that the Gentlemen present found no small difficulty in
recogni►ing a face once familiar to them both. At length, from
a careful inspection of a seal attached to his watch, they were
led to conclude that the deceased could be no other than Mr.
Anthony M' Milian, late writer in Kirkcudbright, and atithor
of several useful works, particularly " Tke Forms of Deeds,"
and " A Treatise on the Law relative to Justices of Peace;" and
a Gentleman not more respected fur his extepsive reading,
than his kind and obliging disposition. How this acci-
dent happened, no one can positively say; but as the de-
ceased left his father's house about eight days before, it is.
supposed, that, while travelling in the direction of New Galin..
way, he had stumbled into the Ken, a good way above Hoat-
son s Wed, as his body bore evident marks of having floated a
considerable space, and of having been in repeated contact whh
the rocky channel of the river.
Mr. J. Cmelhoeste, a respectable farmer at Waplode, has been
committed to the County Jail of Lincoln, charged with the Wil-
ful Murder of his Wife.

SCHOOL FOR THE INDIGENT BLIND.—The Annual
Dinner of the above praisewot thy Institution was held
yesterday evening in the lower room of the City et
London Tavern, and was numerously attended. Sir
CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER took the Chair, sup-
ported by several persons of rank and eminence. On
the cloth being removed, and the usual standing
toasts given, the Report of the last year's proceedings
was read, and presented a most gratifying account
of the labours of the Society. In the course of tl-e
evening the healths of the Vice-President, Treasurer,
Stewards, and Secretary, were drank, which called
forth several able speeches in support of the Institu-
tion. A long list of subscriptions was read, and the
company enjoled the festivities of the evening to a
late hour. •

Monday. In Beans, Peas, and Oats, there is no alteration..
