I.—ln countries where the Roman Catholic Religion is still in vigour, on the morning of this day, a procession takes place at a certain dist_anee from the church, where the part of the Gospel relating to the triumphal en try of Christ into Jerusalem is read ; and, at the return of the cit.; gy and people, who are then provided with palm branches, or boughs of box or yew trees, the doors of the church are found fastened, and, utter the knocking of the officiating minister. opened to the conoega lion, as u memorial of the evangelical transaction supposed to have taken place on this day. It is curious to remark, that, although since tie Retormation, the procession with boughs does not take place, yet the custom of going, as they call it, " a palming," is still retained. In these excursions, wider the name of p timing, love geeerally takes place of religion, and young friends, stealing from the eyes of iluir watchful parents, find it a pleasing opportunity to breathe their mutual vows to each other in the verdant fields, resounding with the amorous and cheerful notes of the feathered tribes, at the break of day. --St. T.eon.

The latter describe the Prussian army as in the best state of preparation, and the zeal of the people as most enthusiastic. The inhabitants in the parts of Saxony where the Russians had penetrated, displayed a similar spirit. The occupation of Perlin, Ilamburgh, Lubeck, and Dresden. is mentioned in these dispatches, as well as the passage of the Elbe by WITTGEHSTEIN, TATTENCORN, and Don:si t:mac,. at several points.
