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.

DISPATCHES FROM lA)RD (AMC IRT.

Lord WALPot,c, who arrived last Friday • in town from
Vienna through Berlin, has brought dispatches from Land
CATHCART, dated link,ch, _March (him and e6th, ' they
abound with the most pleasing intelligence, although
they bring little with which we were not previously
acquainted. The former state the conclusion of
a treaty of peace between Russia and Prussia, awl the mea-
sures taken to carry On combined olicnsire operations on the
largest scale. 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. Spandau is besieged, but Dant-
zick is only blockaded both by sea and land, and a conta-
gious disorder carries off great numbers of its garrison and
inhabitants.

Paris Papers to the sth inst. have brought us more lin-
portant intelligence than any received for many months.
from that quarter. The. French willies arc once more in
motion, and on the advance. The VICEROY of ITALY
has marched with, it is said, 100,000 men, from Leipsic to
Magdeburg, and sent several strong divisions to the right
bank of the Elbe, which he had lately entirely evacuated.
Several skirmishes have already taken place with the Cos-
sacks, in which the enemy, as usual, claim the advantage.
Another army of great force is represented as alreay,
assembled ou the' Uei and in the first fifteen days of
