NAPLES, DECEMBER 26.
On the morning of the 22d inst. about half-past
two o'clock, we had a slight shock of an earthquake,
which continued about eighteen seconds. The motion
was in the direction from east to west. The sky was
charged with clouds, and the atmosphere perfectly
calm.
NUREMBERG, DECEMBER 4.
An article from the frontiers of Italy, dated the
29th ult. says, the fort of Arm is still in the power of
the. Turks, although it is narrowly blockaded by the
Soliots. Prevesa and Parga have also Turkish gar-
risons; the attacks made on the two latter places have
been repulsed.
The Central Government of the Greeks and Alba-
nians has at length been formed at Suli. The su-
perior authority rests with the Senate. Maurocordato
has been named President, with power not only inthe
civil government, but also for the direction of mili-
tary affairs.
Churschid Pacha has received some reinforcements
which, it is reported, will enable him to act on the
offensive. Ali Pacha has not quitted the citadel of
Joannina. He equally defies both Turks and Greeks.

ST. PETERSBURGH,.NOVEMBER 21.
By an Ukase addressed to the Senate, his Majesty
the Emperor has commanded the establishment of a
Russian General Consulate in Persia. The annual
expenditure for the establishment is fixed at 2300
Dutch ducats. The Councillor of &ate, Wazenko,
front the Foreign Department, is appointed Consul-
General, with a salary of 1250 ducats per annum.—
All the Officers of the Consulate receive a year's sa-
lary to defray the expenses of their journey.
HAMBURoII, DECEMBER 7.

We communicate the following particulars from let-
ten that have been received here from Constantinople:
OCTOBER 26.—The Russian ships continue to pass
freely. The Greeks living in this country are better
treated by the Authorities ; and the of the
pulace towards them has rather abated. There lras
been no public execution for this fortnight. The in-
vasion of the Persians is confirmed. It is thought
they have taken Bagdad, as well as Tvan and To-
pralkali, in Armenia ; and besiege Kars and Erze-
rum, the only defences of the Empire on that side.
OCTOBER 29.—The force of the Persians is esti-
mated at 150,000 men. It is not supposed that Er-
zerum can hold out long. This war has been made
known to the people by a Firman of the Sultan.
OCTOBER 30.—important intelligence is said to
have been received from St. Petersburgh, which may
lead to an amicable arrangement between the two
Powers. The Porte continues to behave with the
same arrogance towards the Christian Powers. It
pretends not to attach much importance to the Per-
sian war.

NOVIMBER 2.—lt is certain that dispatches have
been received by the Porte direct from St. Peters-
burgh, and others express from Vienna, by the Im-
perial Internuncio. The day before yesterday a Ge-
neral Council was held of all the great Officers of ,
the Empire. The Reis Effendi was dismissed yes-
terday and sent into exile to Asia. Some believe that
this is only a covert manner of sending a negotiator
to treat with the Persians. The Maronites have made
an alliance with the Druses; the Wichabites have
recommenced their incursions; the greater part of
Syria and Arabia is in an unsettled state. Ali Pacha
still holds out in Joannina—the Pacha of Scutari,
with his Albanians, undertakes nothing against him.
Serbia is reported to be in insurrection. It is af-
firmed, that after the perfidious execution of some of
their Chiefs, the Pacha sent from hence has been cut
telpiecei by them, together with his attendants. An
army of 60,000 men, distinct from the army of the
Danube, which was to march to Livadia, will be de-
tained by this insurrection. Great uneasiness is en-
tertained respecting the answer which the Sultan
will give to the ultimatum of Russia. The situation
of the Turks is extremely critical. The Ministers of
the Porte have no power : all the reports are made
to the chief favourite, Haleb Effendi, who receives
the commands of the Sovereign, and he is, unhappily
arrogant, obstinate, fanatical, cruel, and covetous.
The Ambassadors of all the European Powers,
without exception, have for some time past signified
to the Porte that it must hasten to accede to the terms
of Russia, otherwise it cannot expect any support
from their Sovereigns.
M. Zea had demanded au audience of the Grand

Vizier, and commenced negotiations toot tem alda
an audience of the Sultan, without being obliged to
give the usual presents. This has been c a crazted
by an intrigue, and the audience has not taken glace.
People have a most formidable idea of the force of lim;
sia, and this opinion having established itself among
the people, may greatly diminish their courage be
resist, in case of war. Armenia will be the theatres/
greatevents. More prudent, and more submissive this
the Greeks, the Armenians are, however, eqUally. Gila.
tic. Christians, living in the midst of NI ussulmem th„
will not immediately expose themselves to daater'.
but would certainly have less to object to the pee.
sians than to the Turks ; and if the illterVeatinn of
Russia should insure their political existence as a tn.
tion, they would probably embrace with eagerness
the opportunity to shake off the yoke. They are
rich, very industrious, numerous, and robust, end,
therefore, might be very troublesome to this Govern,
ment. According as the Persians conduct them,
selves in Armenia, they might secure themselves a
very fine position in that country. The curdisi
tribes are always on the side of the conqueror, tot ti,,
sake of plunder. This Empire is so ill-directe,4, to
embarrassed within and without, that one milt
most doubt whether a war with Russia is necessary
to lead it to ruin.

From the preceding statements, received from pod
authority, it appears that the great assembh of Li.t
Divan, on the 31st of October, was for debating
the Russian's proposals ; whence we may judge skx
credit is dAe to the accounts of the 27th, received br
way of Augsburg, stating them to have been iejecta

COPENHAGEN, DECEMBER t.

been stranded and sunk on our different coasa.-
Among them k a ship belonging to the house‘ci

board perished.
Accounts from diffetent parts of the country state,

able to dispose of their corn, unless at a low price.

BOSTON, NOVEMBER IL

The high price of the Exchange on England
considered as an evidence that the balance oftrade
with that country is against this, but it causesacbcf
our produce as is commonly shipped to Grexiiirtaa
to sell here for a higher price than it otherwise voold;
an\ extra price nearly equal, perhaps, to thediffenw
of the Exchange.

The utility of this excellent institution is day Vr
coming more important, and the decision whichv
publish below puts an end to a vast deal di

" Whereas much inconvenience has heretofore bees op
rienced by persons engaged in foreign trade and shippluir

Resolved, That from and after this date, all bills di*
for goods or freights, shall be considered fully compled st
