Oct. 9.7.—Sir C. Stuart, the English ambassador,
received yesterday (Friday) eta:tinr'''e, a courier. des-
patched by the Marquis of Londondeme,lo-annOunce
to him that the King of England will not visit
Paris.
One of the most deplorable and desolating conse-
quences of the contagion fever at Barcelona is the
death of 1,500 men, who.were enrolld.iastlie
National Guard which fin-mud the health cordon. '
A private letter from Nladrid, datad the i sth
inst., written at the ntoment of the courier's depar-
ture, stases—"-We have just received official
liaence that the itifections malady has broken out at
Murciari and Alicant ; and that ut Valencia the town
gates (with the exception of one) are closal, as a
precautionary measure. The greatest desolation
reigns in that province. In general, all the udvices
thence are or the moat calamitous character. The
approach of winter is the only ground of hope that
the progress of the scourge will be stayed. Our
troops begin to fall sick from the cliects of their
severe ditties."
Ott the Russian ukase relative to the trade of the
Aleutian islands, and the north-west coast of Ame-
rica, the Journal des Dtbals makes the following
remarks
" We must observe that this is the first act of
sovereignty by which the Emperor of Russia deter-
mines in a fiscal manner the marratime limits of the
innneuse territory hitherto deseribtal under the vague
name of Russian America. The ukase comprehends
within its limits a great part of the discoveries of
Cook, Vancouver, and Quadra ; but it appears to
limit considerably the extent of the Russian establish-
ments, which, according to the latest voyagers,
already touched npon California. There remains
still to he determined the inland boundary where
Russian Atamica approaches the territmies held to
belong to the English United Company of Canada
and I ludson's Bay. It is a great phenomenon thus
to see two European powers having made the tour
of the globe each from his own side, meet and come
in contact iu regions yet scarcely known.
" The provisions oh this ukase are interesting, nut
only to the English and the Americans, but alto to
French navig itors, who, following the truces of
Marchant or Balgueric, may undertake expeditious
fur commerce or fishing in these distant coasts.
FRANkb ou r. Ocr. 22.--Advicct, from Vienna
state that the Divan has already sent to St. Peters-
burgh a reply to the answer given by Russia. This
note is, it is asserted, drawn up in very moderate
terms, and such tis accord with the position of the
Porte, and its desire to avoid war.
It is not doubted that M. de Entiow, the Aus-
trian Internuncio, has had much influence in its
drawing up. The general persuasion is, that the
principal object of the journey of M. the Prince
Metternich to I lanover is to engage the English
Cabinet to e:itablish a perfect concert between the
plenipoteutiarics of Austria and England, in their
proceedings with the Porte. As the two P..wers
have the same view—the maintenance of peace—it
is natural that they should employ the same means.
It may also be expected that there will no longer be
fund in the ministerial. jou' nal (the Courier) any
more of these impolitic articles which, far flow being
of a conciliatory character, on the contrary, fan the
flame of war.

lIANOVI.It, OCT. 24.—0 n Thursday there Were
splendid tiro-works, in honour of his Istijcsty, and
the devices were le•culiarly ingenious. Exhibitions
of flame were followed by brilliant pyramids, and
these were suddenly transliirmed into temples of
concord, exhibiting the letters G. It. in promincat
display. There was also a rocket, which assumed
the api earance of an eagle soaring in the air, and the
Oilskin was much admired.

THE GRAND BOAR 1 luNT.—Friday was the day
appointed for this boasted fete, and never was there
a scene of inure disgusting butchery than it pre-
sented. As early as five o'clock iu the morning all
the wide of Hanover were in motion, and eviry
house and vehicle that could be procured at any
price were put into requi.,ition. The ground where
the slaughter was to tale place lay at the distance of
twenty English miles from town, and thither did this
ivhole population of the country repair with impa-
tient curiosity. The scenery along the way was
wild and romantic. Segregated hills covered with
trees of a stunted growth rose on all sides, and at
length we came '4u a thick forest of vast extent,
where poles with dark green flags affixed to them
served as so many guides through a region of mud,
over which 11011 e but Germans would have the te-
merity to venture a carriage. At occasional inter-
vals booths and sheds *etc constructed as places of
entertainment, and the cm tched cheer they supplied
was eagerly purchased. YHti might seta dashing
