DIEEITSCH would return to Odessa after the
oayment, :either in money or territory, of the
second instalment.

The frigate L' Armide, which left Navarin on
the 19th of May, had arrived at Toulon after a
Passage of sixteen days. The resignation of the
Prince of SAXE COBURG was said not to
be then known at that place, on the contrary his
arrival was anxiously expected.
The express also furnishes us with intelligence
from Port-au-Prince, from which it appears,
under date 22d April, that a llaytian Com•
missioner had been recently appointed to proceed
to France. Another account states that the
PRESIDENT would make another attempt to
conclude the negotiation by sending two Com-
missioners, Messrs. ROUENNEZ and VILLEVA..

LERIA, tO Paris.

A letter from Parir speaking of the approach-
' or Prince of SWEDEN to
t ..4‘ the Prussian States
Gazette affirms that his Royal Highness had
repeatedly expressed a wish to visit the Russian
capital, with a view to a personal acquaintance
with the EMPEROR. Circumstances had hither-
to prevented the execution of this design ; but
the present moment, when the EMPEROR had
just given peace to his empire after such glorious
campaigns, was deemed particularly favourable
for informing his MAJESTY of the wish of his
Royal Highness. The Swedish Ambassador at
the Russian Court was accordingly instructed to
inquire confidentially at what time the visit of
the Crown Prince of SWEDEN would be most
agreeable
to his MAJESTY. The answer re-
turned through Count NESSELRODE was, that
the visit of the Crown Prince would at all

Inc

times be received with the greatest pleasure, at
the same time a more particular invitation was
given for the 13th July, the EMPRESS'S birth-
day.

We have been favoured with the perusal of a
file of the Hobart Town Gazette, received by
the last arrival. The dividend of the Bank of
Van Dieman's Land, would be something more
than 16 per cent. per annum ; and Derwent
Bank would divide to the same amount. An
attempt was making to open a new market for
that valuable article of colonial produce, wool ;
twenty bales had been packed up for the Chins
market. The price of wheat at Hobart Town
continued to average about 7s. per bushel. The
weather had been very hot, and a large extent
of corn had ripened so fast, that it was feared it
would be lost for want ofsufficient time to get it in.
These Papers contain a very interesting account
of the present state of St. Paul's Island, in
the Northern Ocean, discovered by VLAM-
'NG, a Dutch navigator, in 1697. It is a
small island situated in lat. 38. 44. S.
long. 77. 53 E. of Greenwich, about 12
miles long and five broad. It is covered with
long luxuriant grass, and the soil is a rich loam,
but with neither tree nor shrub upon it. There
were abundance of pigs on the island, and a few
mice, but no other known quadruped. All the
birds of temperate regions resorted there for in-
cubation : the albatross, peaho, molly hawk, all
the procallarea, tropic birds, the penguin, &c.
In December, and the three following months,
whales generally abound round the island.
There are hot springs of salt water at 210 de-
grees. Convict ships, having had a long:passage,
would find it recompense them for the loss of
time, to touch here for fish. There was no
recent appearance of volcanic eruption—no lava ;
but on the causeway forming the barrier are
lumps of spongy stone, evidently the result of
fire in the olden times Smoke is sometimes
observed to issue from a hill forming the bison,
but no fire.

The Northern Whig states that a circular is now
distributing through the county of Armagh, with
the view of getting up Orange processions on
the ensuing 12th of July. We hope the good
sense of the Protestants in the North of Ireland
will induce them to discountenance this very
absurd attempt on the part of a few factious, and,
no doubt, interested individuals, at reluming the
more than half-extinguished embers of civil and
religious discord. Catholics and Protestants
are now subjects of the same liberal Con-
stitution, possessing equal privileges, and
bound together by the same common ties of
fellowship ; why, then, should they break each
other's heads ? Why commemorate with riot,
drunkenness, and insult, the most disastrous
epoch of their mutual dissensions ? Surely if
there be any commemoration. it should be of the
glorious day of their reconciliation—of that day
whose memorable close heard an overwhelming
majority of British Peers proclaim that the
Catholic should be free, and cease to be a foe to
the Protestant !
