Sebsatiate, Vittoria, Bitbw, Vich, and Barcelona,

The accounts from Vienna of the 10th May, re-
ceived by express, say, that M. de Tatiacheff ar-
rived at St. Pettraborgh on the 29th April. No.
thing had transpired respecting the result of his
mission, but at the same time nothing indicated
that war was about to be declared. The Emperor
was at Zurskajeselo, and there was no talk of his
departure for the army, thought the newspapers have
so long since announced it as certain.

HAMBURG% MAY 18.
It is remarkable that though a report has bceo
spread in Germany that M. De Tatischeff arrived
at St. Petersburgh on the 29th April, the accounts
from St. Petersburg!' as late as the Ist May do nut
say a syllable of his arrival there, nor of the depar-
ture or the Emperor.—[This account ahew•a that
there is no truth in the statement of the Paris
Papers, that a Russian courier had brought the news
that the Emperor had left St. Petersburg!' ea the
30th April ]

We have the satisfaction to hear that the di..
turbances in Monmouthshire are happily terminated,
and that the misguided men ure quietly end peeve.
ably returned to their work. Much praise seriat
due to the employers and the Magistrate for :IL%
precautions which they had adopted to pro', st
outrage, as well as for their temperate
judicious conduct siuce the arrival of a inikav,.
force. Although there is a reduction which ti 'e
times justly tequire, yet there are few person, sos.
are better paid for their labour than the collie,.
and miners, whose wages are a third more, sod is
some instances double those of agricultural la.
bourers, and perhaps justly so, as the miner is sub-
ject to many serious accidents, and his labour is
always severe, and often dangerous.—(Hereford
Journal.)
