Captain J. STUART is appointed to the SALDANUA
frigate ; Captain SPEAR, to the ROYAL SOVEREIGN,
the flag-ship of Admiral Ptoutons.
Sir A. COCIIRANE has employed the CYGNET sloop
of war, Captain Doc, to collect plants at Cayenne,
Trinidad, &c. for the Botanic Garden at Dominica :
and amongst various valuable articlesobtained through
the zeal of that officer, and of Mr. LOCKIIEAD of Tri-
nidad, are five nutmeg-trees, which, at the date of the
last accounts, were thriving amazingly.
We stated, on Saturday, a report that three islands,
on the coast of Sicily, with Syracuse itself, were de-
stroyed in February, by an Earthquake. The islands
are Giagenti, Alacata, and Terra Nuevo.
The master of a vessel arrived at Genoa, from Cy-
prus, reports, that the town of Canea, the capital of
Candia, has een almost totally destroyed by an earth-
quake.
An article from Marseilles mentions, on the autho-
rity of a letter from Algiers, that the Regency of
that kingdom had declared war against the Bey of
Texts, and had forbidden, under pain of death, the
1 subjects or vessels of the latter Power entering their

ports, Bcc.
The last accounts from the Supercargoes at Can-
ton state, that a change has taken place among the
Mandarins who conducted the intercourse between
them and the interior, in consequence of which har-
mony has been restored. The pirates up those seas
lately made a descent on the coast, to the eastward
of Macao, and plundered- the village •of Kranshu,
putting 3000 of the inhabitants to the sword. The
Chinese Government have, in consequence, applied
to the British for the loan of some armed vessels, two
of which have been granted, and were, at the date of
i the last advices, fitting out at Prince of Wales Island.
