~ awl ; induced by the imperative necessity of c o n s for the future inviolable liberty to the co. eree of the Black Sea and the navigation of the Bos horus, it will be directed to this object,which is equally dvantageous to all the European States. Whik Russia has recourse to arms, it thinks that far no having indulged in hatred to the Ottoman Power, of hiving contemplated its overthrow, according to accusation of the Divan, it has given a convincing r af that if it had designed to combat it to the utmost. or to overturn it, it would have seized all the opportu nities for war, which its relations with the Porte have ingew ntly presented. Russia, nevertheless, is very far from entertaining in aitious plans ; enough countries and nations already a l its laws ; cares enough are already united with ascent of its dominions. Lastly, Russia, though or with the Porte for reasons which are indepen of the Convention of 6th July. has not departed. .

FIELD-SPORTS FOR MAY. raoac TAN ANNALS Or SPORTINCL " She cometh cheerily; the laughing May— ' Flowers In her hand: and her soft breath is balm, That dries the tears of April into calm, And sweetens Nature's ripening bohday. All things are glad to see her. Village swains Beneath bet Influence re-assume their sports, And, thinking nought of tinsel-pomps of count, To quoits or cricket hie in merry trains; The Archer strings again his pliant bow, And at the bull's eye the winged arrowlies; The Angler hies where rippling waters So*, And the red trouts at the fall's insect rise. The Course, and Otter-hunter own her sway, And Pastime shouts ' a merry month is Mar.'“—J. F. S. Strictly speaking, the present month may be regarded as a period of considerable rest for the sportsman; though as far as re gards the Senors, It is the most important time of the year; his future prospects mainly depending upon the breeding season, and as far as relates to the (gathered game, particularly upon that part of it which is occupied In the process of incubation. Grouse, both black and red, approach each other for the business of coming ' ing the species at an earlier period than either the pheasant or the 'partridge, and, by the middle or latter end of May, are, in a great measure, secure from danger, the young birds being then tolerably strung : indeed, instances are not wanting where young grouse have been seen on the wing as early as the month of April. Partridges seldom break the shell before the latter end of \lay, and the great er general hatching takes place about the middle of June, some times perhaps a little earlier. In our rambles on the 1716 of March, in the present year, we discovered the nest of a partridge, contain. ing one egg, which, however, would have escaped our notice, but for the acute olfactory organs of a canine companion. A pointer. belonging to the writer made a very steady set, at a short utstanee from, and ultimately led him to, the nest, formed in the bottom or a rough hedge, an the property of the Earl of Sefton. During the whole of our experience (something more th in forty years), we never met with a similar circumstance; that is, of a putridge depositing her eggs at so early a period of the season. Two such breeding seasons as those of 1826 and 1827, as far as relates to abundance, dwells not in our recollection, at least in succession; it were almost too much to expect that the present would he equally propitious. Partridges are in the greatest danger from about the 20th to the end of the month of May. The eggs are then more susceptible of destruction, in ease of wet weather, because, in the first place, the period is to be regarded as the early stages of incubation ; and, in - the next, vegetati.m is seldom sufficiently advanced to afford that protection to the nest, or at least to its contents, which, in the be. ginning of June will generally be found. .Early mowing cannot be otherwise than destructive to young game, particularly to partridges sod pheasants ; and in order as far as possible to remedy the mis chievous effects of the scythe, many keepers very judiciously con trive to have a number of domestic hens prepared fur the purpose, under which they convey those eggs which the operations of the husbandman have laid bare and exposed to otherwise inevitable destruction. • There is ao old proverb among gamekeepers, that " the more game is killed the more there will be.' This observation, which • appears ridiculous enough at first glance, is worthy of consideration and the gist of it Is, that (speaking of partrtiges) when a great num ber of birds are left at the end of the shooting season, fewer will be found the following season than as if .a different system had been , adopted, and the breeding birds reduced to comparatively few in • number. When any manor is thickly stocked to the breeding seamm, the coveys, generally speaking, will be small ; that is, consist of few individuals; oa the contrary, when few birds are left from which to breed the coveys will be large, f. e. consist of numerous indivi duals. The reason is obvious; the season of love is also the season of jealousy ; and where many birds are kit, instead of pairing and proceeding quietly with the process of nestling, the males are con. stantly fighting, harmony becomes confusion, and rivalry reigns pro. • dominant. The future progeny suffer in consequence. The same observations will apply, in some degree, to the phea. sant, though the male bird is wore capricious in bis attachment • • and, like the stacwanders from one willing beauty to another, till b e becomes completely exhausted with fruitiln: the former will,it is said, destroy the calf if it comes in his way; if the cock pheasant dues nut exactly imitate the stag in this respect, he is perfectly regardless of his offspring, and leaves the care of the young and rising family en tirely to the female. It will frequently occur, in some districts, that more etch par tridges than bees are left; and when this happens. these nape:Auntie male birds associate, and will, at the beginning of the. ensuing shooting Option, be found, in what, for the watt of a b e tt er re p ree s slon, may be termed small coveys, and the individuals of which these small coveys are composed ate called old bachelors. In like manner, an extra number of male red grouse will frequently be found on the moors • which, however, ate less social than the partrid g e ; these are fou nd &knit, and are to be met with very often, sitting • spots little elevated tufts of heath ur grass akrroundud by .water. The breeding of snipes In this country is continua enough; though, beyond all question, by far the greater part of these birds quit these islands and traverse the ocean for that purpose. Snipes were not. remarkable for abundance during the season that bas just passed away. Dottrels frequently make their appearance in the fens and , oa the heaths and moms of this country during the month of April and the early part of May, and are shot as often as.an oppor.• tunity offers. Wild ducks come early together for the purpose of procreation; yet, as they occupy a considerable period in the choice of a situation, the formation of a nest, laying and incubation, the young are seldom excluded before the middle or latter end of June, and do rot get oil the wing till late in August. Hares never bred more abundantly than in the spring and sum. mer of 1827, and small le were found by the pointers in the month of September. Many were killed dialog the semony and many died in the course et the winter of a disease emphatically enough called the rot. • Rabbits merit little notice. Is this place, unless on the eau* of. constituting food for foxes, and giving an occasional days sport to shooting parties not of the Arse consequence. The amazing fecun dity of these animals is well known; in all fox hunting countries there should be rabbits, in which case even the pheasant preserver has little or nothing to fear from the mischievous propensities of the fox. The rabbit may be regarded as his naturat.food ;he cant pursue him and dig him out of his hole, if constrained by hunger, Foxes will not fail to breed well and multiply, if unmolested: the female brings forth from three to six cubs, and seldom, if ever, breed snore than once during the year. The dog fox rambles much in pursuit of his mate, and in all probability, hell no repugnance to promiscuous intercourse; though instances are not wanting where. he has manifested the utmost attention to the helpless cubs, the female having been killed. Hence it would appear that the dug and bitch fox frequently, if not always, continue together daring the breeding season ; and that the former evinces the same kind of parental solitude as is shown by the male partridge towards his tieing offspring.
