VIENNA. ()UMBER S.

Yesterday, at two o'clock in the morning, we ex-
perienced here two considerable shocks of an earth-
quake. They appeared to proceed from the south
and in a north-western direction. 'No accident occur-
red of consequence in this city ; at least we have not
yet heard of any. We know not what has taken place
in the country. Copious details and observations
will, no doubt, be published on an event so very rare
in our regions.
lihe resolutions of the Diet at Presburgh, which
have transpired t'o the Public, have a very beneficial
effect upon the course of Exchange. All the Levant
Merchants at Vienna would not for a considerable
time past receive in their dealings bank bills bet ac-
cording to their value, as computed by the rate of
exchange upon Augsburgh. At present they have
more confidence, and, by the last post, have disposed
of considerable sums according to their value at
Vienna.
According to the most recent accounts from Bu-
charest, the Turks had not advanced farther than
eight miles from that city; A great portion of its
inhabitants had already taken to flight. We wait for
official intelligence with some impatience.
NAPLES, OCTOBER S.
The appearance of a considerable force in the
Waters of Ponza, and the sound of a brisk cannonade
on the coast of that Island, gave rise to apprehensions
that it may have fallen into the hands of the enemy :
bat it has not yet been the object of any positive at.
uck. Many frigates, indeed, several other vessels of
different sizes, and even a ship of the line, continue
to cruize on that station.
The convoy which had been perceived, and which
every account represented as very considerable, con.
sisted only of some Neapolitan vessels returning from
the coral fishery on the coasts of Barbary. Although:1
the enemy attacked it unexpectedly, we have yet a
certainty that ;he far greater part of cur vessels have

found roam to ester the port of Penis .04.11 or
small parts.

CORENHAcIEN. OCTOBER t.
The following Royal Resolution, which was intim
on the 14th of April lsst, has been publis!:ed in the
Bishopric of Christiania :
We permit by these presents all sailors of Fos
reign Nations, who eiJ'er arrive or sojourn in this
district, whether they be braaglit hither, or the yes-
:eh in which they may be serving be taken and con•
demned, to proceed to sea if they choose, in our pri-
vateers, without enrolling themselves for that purpose,
on condition, however, that if the privateer in which

they embark shall snake any caprure, they shall ply
a certain rate of duty upon their share of its proceeds.
We therefore, by these presents, authorise ourCullege
of Marine to determine the amount per Ora. of this
duty, and it is our pleasure that the sums arising from
it shall be applied to the equipment of the my', it
the same manner as was directed by our Resel.:o%
of the 17th of March list : the Prop:le:ors of the prt.
•ateer shall be responsible for the punctual paymea:
of these duties."

The College of the Admiralty has fixed the duty
at twenty-fire per cent.

They set out in a barge, as the weather was extremely
fine ; but were obliged to embark in a yacht on their
return, and to beat about to windward. His Maje4t7

so justly celebrated for its beauty, and for the industry
of its inhabitants. His M :jesty condescended to COO'
verse a considerable time with the Mayor, a man of
great sense and merit, the eouji d'silof their MAjesties4
return was charming : fifty-tour yachts accomp.thicd
that in which the Emperor was, decorated with Cs
lags of all colours, going through different ev, le.

in order to pay court to their Majesties, conceived and
contrived this little fele, and embarked each in theft
own yachts for the purpose. Theft* appeared to
afford much amusement to their Majesties.
In the evening their Majesties went to the theatre,
where they were received with the most lively trans-
ports. The audience were not satisfied with applaud-
