Yesterday between s and O'Clock,
this city was visited by heavy showers of
rain from the south, accompanied with a
few flashes of lightning. They were
succeeded about O'Clock P. M. by a
cloudless atmosphere, violent northwest
wind and a considerable degree of cold
ness, which continued throughout the
night, and yet remains. Farenheit's
Thermometer, yesterday rose in the
shade at 9 o'clock to 7s0-to day it has
fallen to 450 making declension OF
thirty-one degrees in less than twenty
hours. We believe this is the greatest
change in the weather, at this season of
the year, ever Witnessed by our oldest
inhabitants. The cold increases hourly,
and if we are not mistaken we shall, to
night, be visited by black frost--.f SO,
farewell to the cotton crops.

ascertaincd that the Comet had not
changed its position, but that its. tail was
becoming more visible and its light
had acquired greater intensity. He
thence concluded, that this Comet will

such a degree as to be visible to the ma

Yesterday there was the same fer
ment, his Majesty's answer was de-
minded, aud the authorities were fore
ed to announce that none, had been re-
ceived. The Ministers have all sent in
their designations. The troops have
been three days under arms. All ra-
tional men shudder when they see that
three or four wretc hes, who take the
lead IT the Club Fontana, can thus dis
turb publick quiet, and drag us to the
precipice. The political chief, Gen.
Coussani, who thought to maintain his
place and popularity by his coward flat
terry of the populace, is now deprived
of the, Kings confidence, and despised
even by those on whom he iayished his
base serviIity. He has declared himself
i'll, and rendered his resignation. Re-
flecting minds see in this well-combin-
ed plan to involve us in. all the horrours
of civil war; the first thing in further
ance of which was TO remove General
Morillo, whose courage and fidelity they
Justly feared-this view was effected.
Thanks to, the intrigues and gold Of the
American Spaniards. Now it is wanted

known. He. has been conducted to

MEXICO.

MEXICO.
A letter from Havana Of the Goth ult.
in Relf's Gazette, gives a report that
NoveIa, deputy Viceroy of Mexico
was dead, and stated as certain that
O'Donoju has been acknowledged as
Viceroy by Noyela and the authorities !;
had called meeting of the Cortes "a
greeably TO the treaty with Iturbide,
and had ordered that treaty to be fulfill
ed in every respect. 1t was believed
at Havana that he had instructions
from the Spanish Court to confirm the in
dependence of the country. The Gov
ernour of Vera Cruz still held out
had ordered the useless families out of
the place, while the others had entered
the castle of San Juan de Ulcea, TO
which place every thing valuable had
been transported from Vera Cruz. The
Governour threatens destruction to the
city in case of invasion, and if necessa-
ry to blow up the castle.
A letter received in this city, dated
Havana, Oct. 18th, states that the new
Viceroy had arrived at Mexico with
the insurgent chief-that conference
had taken place with the Capt. General
of Mexico, and an armistice of days
concluded, which, it was believed,
would end in the settlement. of all dis
putes, and that Vera Cruz, Ike all the
rest of New Spain, would be declared
independent. The new Viceroy was
in favour of adopting the new Constitu-
ton, which the clergy, who are power
full, strenuously oppose, because the In
QUESTION, in that. CASE would be abolish

Of the government and. be sold to me ct
the publick debt. The Inquisition is
much detested, its horrours burlesqued
on the stage, and its fall said TO be look
ed for by the people with great solicit
tude.
In Relf's Gazette of last evening we
find an extract of letter from Vera
Cruz of the god of Sept. which says
"The government of this place has or
dered mines to be dug under the forts
of Santiago and Conception, for the
! purpose of blowing them up in case of
an attack by the forces of Triga.ante .
Nearly all the switch went from

he will acknowledge no other than the

From Pubela, the news at Vera Cruz
was, that Novella, deputy Viceroy,
had beaten the besiegers on two occa-
sions, and their loss in the battle of the
9th was considerable, while the Royalist;
themselves had lost the whole regiment
of Castillo. An armistice was conclud
ed on the 18th between Novella, O'Don
oju, and the Trigarante, and broken by
the former on, the 18th, he not agree

settlement OF the affairs of the empire

AUGSBURG, SEPT. II.
Extract of a private letter.

Extract oil q private leller.
The dispatches which the Austrian
government has successfully received
from St. Petersburg and Constantinople
were of very important. nature they
occasioned,. in the first day of this month,
the assembling of several Ministerial
Councils, under the Presidency of Peter
Metternich, Minister Of foreign affairs.
Nothing has TRANSFERRED of the result of
these deliberations.
1t cannot be concealed that the po-
itical events relative to the differences
which have arisen between the Otto
man government and Russia, have lately
become so complex, that it is almost
impossible to anticipate the issue
Whilst negotiations are protracted, the
insurrection daily makes progress in the
Peloponnesus and the isles of the Archip-
elago. The presence of the Russian
army on the Pruth, disables the Porte
from sending the troops in sufficient
force to reduce the provinces, which
have thrown off its dominion. On the
other hand, the ferment which reigns
in Servia and Bulgaria causes it very
serious disquietude. Its embarrassments
are augmented too by the spirit of sedi-
ton, which is manifested by the popu-
lation of Constantinople, and the nu-
merous troops which, are in that capital
and, its vicinity"

MADRID, SEPT. 6.


The first intelligence of the events
which have. TRANSFERRED at Sarragossa.
produced great ferment in this capital.
The discussions at the Club Fontana
were most outrageous-ther eyolutiona-
nv orators know no restraint On the
Sd inst. courier arrived from Sara

tia: Riego was arrested. Tine most
Incorporate demagogues exclaimed a.
gainst his disgrace az a seryile defer
enoe to the French government. Our
government, TO calm the publick uproar,
caused it be stated in the journals that
Riego was on the point of heading an
enterprise which might entail the most
deplorable disasters upon Spain, and
even lead to foreign war, and, in con-
sequence, it had been deemed expedi-
ent to deprive him of his command, and
order his retirement to Lerida.
On the 4th inst. the commotion as
sumed more violent character, in con-
sequence Of the new nomination of the
Minister of war;, Rodriguez. An i'm
mense multitude thronged the Puerta
del Sol, and demanded the instant re-
turn of the King to Madrid !. that the
French Ambassador should be sent off;
the Cortes Immediately convened, and
all suspected persons removed from the
Kings person. Orators had posted
themselves in various balconies in the
Red San Luis, who urged the people to

rangues., Even a Grandee of Spain, (it

LONDON, SEPT. 21.'
Letters were this morning received
from Odessa, dated the cath ult,. They
entirely relate to commercial affairs !;
ands little do they enteri into specula-
ton relating to hostilities, that two we
have seen make no mention of Baron,
Strogonoff, or of the. Russian armies.
We have received, this morning.. the
Paris papers of Monday and. Tuesday
last
These papers alsocontain a Turkish
document of some interest, though it is
too long to give to-day. We allude to
the Manifesto of the grand Seignior,
which was published in the Austrian
Observer of the 18th instant 1t is dat
ed the middle of last month; and ad-
dressed oaIl the Grand Viziers, Miriams,
Mollahs, Wayvodes,, and other publick
functionaries of the Ottoman, govern
ment. The puFpoFt of his Manifesto
is, to set forth the benign and paternal
protection which the Sublime Porte has
ever extended towards all its subjects,
and towards the Greeks in particular
to deplore- and condemn the rebellious
conduct of the latter Uncertain provin-
ces of the empire-and, lastly, which
is the most important part of the docu-
ment, to forbid that any violence er,in-
Jury should be offered to the persons
or property of the Greeks, except in
cases Of positive INSTRUMENTATION, Any
publick officer, or other individual. vio-
lating this injunction, is threatened with
the penal displeasure of the Grand
Seignior., What practical effect may
result from this declaration in favour of
the uncffending Greeks, it might be
hazardous to conjecture. We can only
hope that it will check those wanton
massacres and indignities, the details of
which have lately been so affecting to
humanity.
