been ushered in with renewed symptoms
Of riot. About an hour ago the Iaborers
assembled, as usual, for hire, at Broad st.
the great cross passage OF the city, seized
aud pDundered several baskets Of bread
goiug from bakers to retailers. Horrible
EXPLANATIONS we're used. The city is
now much more quiet, but still very un-
easy. Tan O'Clock, A. M.-Some visits
have been paid TO principal bread shops.
A riugleader has been arrested, and all is
again tolerably quiet"
Extract from letter dated Gibraltar,
June lo:--" The Emperor Of Morocco is
about to take the field with an immense
army, against large tribe Of Arabs, who
lately defeated and wounded one of his
sous, and succeeded in making one OF his
wives a prisoner. Trade at Gibraltar
continues in most distressed stale, and no
demand whatever for any kind OF pro-
duce."
Observation-Disclosures has been received
in England as late as May from Trivoli,
which announce that the most public
roads had become no longer safe one mile
from the gates of Rome. Seven hundred
villains had escaped from the gallies, and
had spread themselves over the Ape
mines. This horde of assassins had com
mitted the most horrid crimes, and con-
Itinuc their outrages with immunity. The
accounts state that they had lately put
out the eyes Of an opulent old gentleman
at Vcllatri, and afterwards hung him, in
consequence Of their not having received
ransom Of 5 or 5000 crowns with the
|punctuality they expected. A child in,
Rome had his tongue taken out to prevent
his telling tales.
We received this morning the Paris
papers Of Sunday last.
A disturbance of so serious descrip-
ton has broken out 10 the School OF
Laws, at Paris, that the commission of
public Instruction have ordered it to be
shut up for the present. 1t originated 10
the lectures of professor Bavaux, or
civil aud criminal procedure, whose lib
eralism of sentiment, on certain points,
appears to have divided his pupils into
two such furious parties, that they pro-
ceeded to blows in the lecture room, and
afterwards to such excuses, that there
was no other remedy for the disorder, but
ali immediate termination of the Lectures.

led away by the srossest superstition.

Riga, jane IA An event, not unpar-
allelled indeed, but very rare, has lately
occurred here During strong north
west wind, an immense quantity of young
catterpillars fell upon the great meadows
on the south bank Of the Duna, and de-
voured the grass, with the roots, upon a
very extensive tract. AS soon as this was
perceived, the people employed all means
they could think Of to destroy them-they
dug bitches, swept the insects together 10
heaps, and crushed them, &c. but without
much diminishing their numbers. On
the fourth day they crept into the earth,
and changed into chrysalisses, SO that we
have the bad prospect of seeing them re-
turn as butterflies, and propagate their
species amongus.
