Tho Mo..iicar of IVelneslay contains a telegra-
phic despatch from M.trscilles, of the preceding day,
to the following effect:—

" The yellow fewer has maple its appearance in the 'principal
street of Barcelona, at the house of un individual whose ►hip
arrived last year from the Havannah. This person and his ►im
were immediltely taken to the Lazaretto, and the Junta of
Health, was summoned to assemble within 21 hours."

During the worst titnes of the Revolution, France
was exempt from this severe visitation ; and if un-
happily the Yellow Fever slioald again break out
in Spain, the troops composing the army of the
Cordon Sanitaire, may hesitate 'ere they encounter
a foe more formidable than either bayonet or can-
non. Of other foreign news the French papers
contain not a single paragraph.

ST. PETERSBURGII, JUNE 28.—The circular note
to the Allied Courts, issued by the Russian cabinet
in the month of May, befbre the second mission of
M. de Tatiseheff, as founded partly on the official
Turkish note of the iiith of April, and partly on
subsequent verbal promises made to Lord Strang-
tiara by the Reis Effendi. It did not seem that the
Emperor could be satisfied with the assurance given
in the note, that the Porte would fulfil its obliga-
tions when tranquillity would be restored. Some
days later, however, the Turkish minister informed
the British ambassador that all preparations were
made, and orders given to fulfil as soon as possible
the two main points in dispute, viz. the evacuation
of the principalities by the troops stationed in diem,
and the arointment of Christian llcspodars. In
such circumstances, the only question can be, whe-
ther the Porte witl really keep his promises? The
Russian circular says expressly that the Emperor has
nothing more at heart than the maintenance of peace
with the Porte, and no one will be more disposed
titan himself to contribute his efforts to restore the
ancic.tt relations with that power. But ut the same
time it is signified in the note, that Russia depends
on the further good Afices of the Allied Powers, that
the Emperor may not be compelled in the contrary
case to take measures for the maintenance of solemn
treaties, which the dignity of his crown would re-
quite. It appears, then:l4e, that, notwithstanding
the personal inclination of the Emperor to peace, the
question of the future relation of Russia and the
l'orte is not yet decided a ith cet!ainty, hut that this
decision will depend on the farther negociations at
Constantinople, or the conduct of the Turkish Go-
vernment. The Imperial Gua: ds, it is true, return
to St. Petersburgh, but the corps remain ready to
take the field, though orders have been given (since
the immediVe breaking out of the war is in no case
to be apprehended) to withdraw it to greater dis-
tance from the Turkish frontiers, and place it in
more extended cantonments. It is to be observed,
besides, that the Guards have never taken the field
in a Turkish war; and, on this occasion. also, if
hostilities had cc:miaowed with the Turks, would
have remained in the ptovinces, as a reserve
;rid corps of observation.
