DUTCH PAPERS.

ST. PF.TERSBURGII, OCT. 31.—11 S Majesty,
after reviewing the Cth and 7th corps of the 2d Army, left
Tulezyn on the 17th. It has been officially notified to the fo.
reign illinisters, that the Emperors of Russia and Austria had
had their intended interview at Czernowitz.
Lieut. James Hellman, in the British service, who has been
blind ever since the Ilth year of his age, arrived on the 16th at
Irkutzk, on his tour through Siberia. He has one servant with
him, and hardly understands any thing but English ; but the
journal of his travels is said to be extremely interesting.
The French Ambassador, Count de la Perronays, intends to
have Tt Dom reformed in the Catholic church, for the deli-
verance of the King of Spain.
BEttnar, Nov. 11.—Several couriers have lately passed
through here, viz. the French courier, Itomain, from Paris to
St. Petersburgh ; the English messenger, Walsh, from St.
Petersburgh to London ; and the Russian courier, Hubner,
from here to Petersburgh.
:D. Schreiber, agent for the holders of Westphalian do-
mains, who has 'been here for sonic months on that and other
business, has returned to Frankfort, for the time when the ques-
tion comes before the Diet (the 4th of December) is approach-
ing. Convinced that these negotiations, which have now con-
tinued ten years, are drawing to a close, he addressed, befor2
he left this city, another petition to the members of the Diet.
raortTicus ov 'TATA', Nov. 7:—The Barbar
have received orders from the Divan to equip without
delay new ships of war, and to have them ready to be
employed as the Porte shall require. This order excites
surprise, as the season is come when naval expeditions are ge-
nerally considered as ended. 'rite divisions of Algerine and
other Barbary vessels, which have been long with the Turkish
fleet, are. till under the command of the Capitan Pacha, who
his been obliged, by an order from the Porte, not to proceed
'on his return to the Dardanelles, but to sail again to the
Archipelago. It is certain that he has had two actions with
the Greek fleet„ but the result is no certainly known—some ac-
counts giving the advantage to the Greeks, others to the Turks,
and others, again, saying that both actions had no decisive re-
'lull. A privtee letter froth an Italian merchant at Cephalonia
`says, that the Capitan Pach has again sailed for the Dardanelles.
!Jamul:, Nov. 10..;;-This being the anniversary of the
Qeen's birth-day, and of the recovery of our independence, was
observed with the usual demonstrations of public rejoicing.

.PltAtatz Wor.r.-4he following account o
this animal is extracted from Jame's Ex pedi-
tifm to the Kerby Mountains. Their bark is
rt:tsch more distinctly like that of the domestic
It. than 'of any other animal ; in fact, the first
t tvo or three notes could not be distinguished from
be bark of a small terrier, but these notes are
succeeded by a lengthened scream :
" The wonderful intelligence of this animal is well worthy
of note, and a few anecdotes respecting it may not he amiss.
Mr. Peale constiueted and tried several kinds of traps to take
them, one of which was of the description called " a live
trap," a shallow box reversed, andpor
supted at one end by
the well known kind of trap sticks, usually called the " figere
four," which elevated the front of the trap upwards of three
feet above its slab flooring; the trap was about six feet long,
and nearly the same in hreadth,—and was plentifully baited
with offal. Notwithstentling this arrangement, a wolf actually
burrowed under the flooring, and pulled down the buil through
the_ crevices of the floor ; trades of different nixes were, observed
about the trap. This procedure would seem to be the result
of a faculty beyond instinct,—This trap proving mins; an.
other was constructed in a different parr, of the muntr? formed
rm
like a large co but with a small entrance on the top, through
which the animals might, enter, but not return ; this was
equally unsuccessful ; the wolves attempted in vain to get at the
bait, as they would not enter by the route prepared for them.
A large double " steel . • trap" was next tried;. this was
eraft.thely baited, and the whole, with the exception of the bait,
was;carefully concealed beneath the fallen leaves. This ryas
also unsuccessful. Trecks of tho antielpated victims were next
day obeoved to lie impna4ed in numbers on the earth heat the
spot, but still the trap, with its seductive charge; remained Ur.
uructtt {I. Tho bait WAS then removed from the,trop, and sus.
Trended ow it from the branch of a tree; several pieces of
meat Were also auspended in a similar manner from trees in the
vieinity ; _the foliewing. morning the bait over the trap alone re.
mained, iiupposing that their exqeisite AO tie of • smell.warned
them of the position of the trap, it was removed and again ce-
vereil with leaves, and the baits being disposed as before, the
lvtv4s to a Considerable distance around were burnt, and the
trip remained perfectly concealed by the ashes; still the bait
. •G‘er the trap w.v nvoile4. • Only once this trap W. hiaunpr,
and had fastened for a siOrt time, noon the foot of a species,
which was allot the following day at no great distance;
it proved to b a epecies distinct from the Prairie Wolf.,
In no rcepect ditheartenta by these futile attempts many.
limes 'repeated, and varied iii every obviani manner, another
scheme WA% eXCented which was attended, with complete :iticeess,.
This was the lag trap, in ybieh 'l3 log elevated atiove an-
other at one iend'hy wrestle of an upright stick, which Testa
liven a rounded horizontal triggetAick, on the inferior log."

Mr. Nour,, the solicitor, 1010 was engaged in
the itivestigatjens at Watford, and whose prorei.
$lOll4l SO' VICPS ha V4I suit been dispensed ;with,
has publisin a long vindicati,n of hii conduct
and character in a Snday paper. Air. NoEt,
positively denies thatu he was connected with
Thu?*ll, Bunt, and others, iw certain gambling
transactions which hare been mentioned, and
adds—" The statement in the Brighton taper,
and copied into the London prints, asserting that
Bunt and I were copartners in a gftl»itIg•114111S0 at
Brighton, is rt complete fabrication ; as I never
beheld "hunt in my life until I examined him fur
`the murder at Watford."
