CHRONICLE. 



ant of the Depot of Slaves, who 

 had temporarily received a young 

 man since attacked by the plague, 

 has fled from the house. After the 

 death of the younger son of the 

 Austrian Internuncio, who fell a 

 victim to this contagion, the whole 

 legation has retired to Belgrade, 

 a place situate a league to the north 

 of Bujukdera. 



25. The Government vaults in 

 Liverpool, containing a consider- 

 able quantity of bonded brandy, 

 were discovered to have been en- 

 tered, by some means which still 

 remain a mystery ; and seven 

 pieces of brandy had their ori- 

 ginal contents drawn off and re- 

 filled with water. A small hole 

 had been made in the brick roof of 

 the vault from Ihe building above, 

 through which the liquor had 

 been conveyed by means of a pump, 

 but not large enough to admit any 

 person. Some additional casks had 

 been taken in on Saturday, and the 

 presumption is that the principal 

 agent in this extensive theft must 

 have then obtained admission; and, 

 when the vaults were re-opened on 

 Monday, have effected his escape. 

 The doors were, as is customary in 

 these cases, secured by three locks, 

 on which no force appeared to 

 have been used. 



26. Breslau. — A part of the in- 

 habitants of this city, belonging to 

 the first requisition of the land- 

 wehr, and who were about to be 

 incorporated therein, had, from a 

 mistaken view of the legally pj-e- 

 scribed form of the oath, refused 

 to take it within the limited term, 

 and thereby occasioned a delay in 

 the administration of the oath to 

 others who were willing to take it. 

 'I'lie opportunity afforded by this 

 delay was taken an advantage of 



by some of the evil disposed among 

 those who objected to the oatli, to 

 gain over a great number of those 

 who had been previously willing 

 to take it. 



A second limited term being 

 fixed, tiie oath was taken by a few 

 of those who had been summoned, 

 but refused by far the greater part ; 

 and some who had taken the oath 

 were ill treated by those who ob- 

 jected to it. The maintenance of 

 the laws, civil order and tran- 

 quillity, as well as the security of 

 the well-disposed, rendered it ne- 

 cessary to remove promptly some 

 of the malcontents, who had 

 openly declared tliemselves, and 

 thereby avert their further mis- 

 chievous influence. 



This circumstance was made s. 

 pretext by some hundreds of disor- 

 derly persons, for proceeding to acts 

 of violence eaily on the '23d. Though 

 this tumult was socm suppressed 

 by the vigorous measures which 

 the superior military authorities 

 adopted, and the judicious co-ope- 

 ration of the Magistrates, still the 

 rioters had sufficient time to com- 

 mit several excesses, and to attack 

 some public buildings, which they 

 entered. Several of the rioters 

 are already arrested, and delivered 

 over to the due course of law. 

 These transactions excited the 

 horror and indignation of all the 

 inhabitants of the town ; and the 

 burghers, through the Magistrates 

 as their lepresentatives, expressed 

 their sentiments to the following 

 effect, viz. " To expel from their 

 body, with re-payment of their 

 entrance-money, all those who 

 jjcrsisted further in refusing to 

 comply with the laws respecting 

 tlie landwehi."
