severe attack of the govt. The cele-
brated ex-Sheriff Parkins had his trial
Dec. %, on charge Of perjury. After
a trial which lasted nine hours, the ju-
ry gave verdict of acquittal.
Mr.. Stratord Canning had arrived
at Frankfort, on his way to Vienna and
St. Petersburgh. 1t is affirmed by the
.AAgemeine Zeitung, that no apprehen-
sion is now entertained of the friend
ship Of the Great Powers being dis
turbed. On the questions relative to
the claims set up by Russia to a line OF
coast in North America, the United
States are made to appear the aggriey-
ed party, and England is described to
act as mediator between the American
and Russian governments. All the
Great Powers, it is added, are resolv-
ed, by" powerful Intervention" to put
an end to the sanguinary contest be-
tween the Turks and Greeks, but what
way, or in whose favor the "powerful
intervention" will take place, is not
specified.
The Brussels Oracle speaks Of the
friendly disposition of England towards
the Greeks, and mentions that con-
siderable supply of ammunition and
stores, shipped from England, had ar
rived at Malta, on its way to Greece.

Further intelligence from the ship Dia-
nond.-The following very interesting
letter, written the morning the Dia-
mond was stranded, and addressed to
the consignees of the ship at Liverpool
was forwarded to the owner in this
city, by the Amethyst, arrived at Bos-
ton. From this it appears that only
seven of the passengers, and part OF
the crew were lost.
81 am concerned to inform you, that
the ship Diamond, bound from New
York to Liverpool, has stranded about
So'clock this morning on St. Patrick's
Causeway, in the Bay of Cardigan, be-
tween yarmouth and Harleck, and that
the masts and rigging are only to be
seen. Three ofthe cre,0 are lost and a.
bout Ssuen passengers. Part of the car
go Of cotton and, pot ashes begin to
come on shore. The officers of Bar
mouth and some special constables,
whom have sworn to protect the pro-
perty, are diligent and active in their
trust. The capt and first mate are lost,
so that the second mate, of the name
of Russell, is the only person who can
give any information on this unfortu-
nate business: The sooner the better
you will send some person to superin-
tend the damaged cargo, which in all
probability will daily come on shore"

London, Dec. 2e.--The Russian FL
nance Minister has published an official
statement, tending to tranquilize the
mercantile world in general on the re-
suits Of the inundation. The injury
to goods in the private warehouses Of
merchants and others has certainly been
considerable, but yet much less than
report had stated. The greatest loss
fell on sugar, salt, hemp, and potash
BY an approximative estimate the de-
struction of sugar amounts to 100000
puds: but there are still large stocks
of that article on hand, and as the da-
mage has occurred chiefly to CONNER.
cial houses of great solidity, there is
no probability that want of supply
will be felt by the consumers. The
quantity Of salt destroyed is nearly the
same, and gives occasion to no serious
disquiet, inasmuch as the price of the
article (deducting import duties) is We
ry low; and as to the general consump-
ton, that is fully provided for by the
quantity stored in the depots of the
Crown. There were in store about
100000 puds of hemp, great part of
whichis damaged but measures have
been adopted to relieve, in some degree,
this loss. The quantity of potash spoil
ed, comparatively with the articles a.
bove mentioned, is but small. The in
jury to the houses, quays, sc. is not
very great, with the exception of some
wooden houses and bridges, which
have been carried away. The brewe.
ries and sugar-re6neries have resumed
their work. The injury to the govern
ment stores has chiefly fallen upon the
articles of brandy, frewood, and few
others of less consequence. That of
brandy amounts to not more than half
million of rubles, small sum COM
pared with the quantities which the
government still has in store. The
chief defalcation of revenue will be on
account Of the duties which would
otherwise have been payable on sugar
