RUSSIA.

A letter has been received at Lemberg from Odessa
which states that a Russian fleet of four vessels of the
line, seven frigates, five corvettes, four steamers, and
a great number of transports, left Sebastopol on the
13th, proceeding towards the Adriatic. There were
9,000 men on board, and 400 cannon.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1849.

Little attention has been directed within the last
week towards the position of affairs in Hungary.
Now, however, that the difficult question relating to
the selection of an Emperor over the Germanic Con-
federation has fallen into abeyance, and that the
interest of Europe is consequently diverted for a
time from the proceedings at Frankfort—now that the
newly dawning prospect of a reconciliation between
the Cabinets of Berlin and Copenhagen withdraws
our observation from thA Siamese Duchies of Schles-
wig-Holstein—now that events are assuming a very
decisive appearance to the south of the Carpathian
mountains, on the northern banks of the
Danube, and on the lower shores of Rou-
melia—we may somewhat opportunely take a
rapid glance at the changes recently effected in the
relative positions of the Hungarians and their Im-
perial assailants.

Although the Viennese journals endeavour to hood-
wink the vigilance of democracy throughout Western
Europe by systematically blinking the truth and
garbling the intelligence received from the seat of
war—it is impossible not to perceive that the reverses
occasionally encountered by the national forces have
been more than compensated by successes
still more startling, and by achievements
of a very astonishing character, when it l

.o,ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
el caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-

and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedentand that health sheuldform an item

neglect wound more sorely than poverty er misfortune. Reader, if

sach (by post, In stamps, is. 6d. each). Let n• imaginatively
refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy mieinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
tlley are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
•ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price is. each,
by post Is. 6(1.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
.ivoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, uor are they the
mere ephemeral scribbling' of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

THE HAGUE, MARCH 27.—The physicians who
attended his late MAJESTY during his last illness
have published the following respecting the course of
the malady :
" his Majesty the King quitted Tilburg on the morn-
ing of the 13th instant, accompanied by his two aides-de-
camp. As soon as he arrived at Rotterdam he visited the
dockyard, where he had the misfortune to miss his
footing, and tell from a height of eight or ten feet. His
Majesty did not appear to be hurt., but he turned very
pale.
" The King returned to Tilburg, where he arrived in
the evening. Nothing of consequence was remarked in
the course of the evening, except that ho shivered several

" At two o'clock the next morning his Majesty felt
such an oppression on the chest that he called in assist-
ance, and his aid-de-camp immediately went out for
medical assistance.

" The first who arrived, M. Van 'lces, military sur-
geon to the Ist Regiment of Lancers, found his Majesty
labouring under such an oppression, which threatened
immediate suffocation, that he instantly bled his royal
patient in the arm. A second medical man, M. Mass,
arrived soon after. The King at the same time gave
orders that his physician in ordinary, Dr. Everard,
who had remained at the Hague, should be sent for with
all speed."

By command of the KING there' will be general
mourning of thirty-two weeks—viz., twenty-five
weeks of deep mourning, six weeks half mourning,
three weeks slight mourning. The day of the inter-
ment has not yet been fixed. It is supposed that it
will take place on the 4th. All business will be sus-
pended, and the Bourse closed.

EY RE: ail Autobiography.
By CURRER BELL.

Third Edition, with Preface by the Author.

"Jane Eyre is another Pamella, who, by Vie force of her character
and the strength of her principles, is cal ried victoriously through
great trials and temptations from the man she loves. . • . . . A
noble high-souled woman, bound to us by the reality of her sorrow,
and yet raised above us by the strength of her will, stands in actual
life before us We are painfully alive to the moral, reli-
gious, and literary deflciences of the picture, and such passages of
beauty and power as we have quoted cannot redeem it, but it is im-
possible not to be spell-bound with the freedom of the touch. We say
again this is a very remarkable book."—Quarterly Review.

JENNY LIND AT WORCESTER. —WC have the
pleasure of announcing a circumstance which does in-
finite honour to this amiable and highly gifted lady, and
proves that the disappointment felt by many at her
non-appearance at our late musical festival was by no
means to be laid to her charge. The arnende has now
been rendered in the most honourable and satisfactory
manner, the worthy mayor (It. Padinore, Esq.) having
received an intimation, through the Lord Bishop of the
diocese, that Mademoiselle Lind, much regretting her
inability to sing at that festival, and " being now a free
agent," has much pleasure in tendering her services
gratuitously at a concert to be given at Worcester, in
the course of January or the beginning of February
next, on behalf of some of the local charities.— If Or-

ance—advantaged by this beneficent application of her

BELGIUM.

The Brussels Afoniteur of the 31st contains the

HAMBURGH.

HAMBIIIIGII, DEC. 29.—The Elbe is frozen over
from the Upper Elbe to the bridge of landing. At
Grasbrook it is crossed by foot passengers. At
Altona and on the Kohlbrand there is a great quan-
tity of floating ice, the steam navigation between this
place and Harbourg is consequently stopped.
The steamer Primas was icebound there, and the
Phamix here. In several parts the Elbe is already
passed in hand sledges, and should this severe tem-
perature continue (5 deg. cold), it will soon be pass-
able in sledges.
Yesterday there was a slight thaw, but it was of
slight duration, and a great deal of floating ice is now
forming.

"Jane Eyre is another Pamella, who, by the force of her character
and the strenatli of her principles, is carried victoriously through
great trials and temptations from the man she loves A
noble high-smiled woman, hound to us by the reality of her sorrow,
and yet raised above us by the strength of her will, stands in actual
life before us We are painfully alive to the moral, reli-
gious, and literary deflciences of the picture, and such passages of
beauty and power as we have quoted cannot redeem it, but it is im-
possible not to be spell-bound with the freedom of the touch. We say
again this Is a very remarkable book."—Quarterly Review.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussians are concentrating their forces at
Coblentz. This fact confirms the rumour of the in-
tention of Prussia to assemble an army in the Rhenish
provinces for the support of the reactionary cause. A
secret treaty to this effect has, it is said, been entered
into by A ustria,Russia, and Prussia.

,
The KING and Court have removed to Charlotten-
berg from Potsdam.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The King of DENMARK has issued a proclamation
from Fredricksborg, in which he protests against the
abuse of his name on the part of the collective
Government of the Duchies, seeing that the latter
does not fulfil the conditions upon which it was
established, and that notwithstanding the protest of
the Danish Commissioners and of the German Central
Power, it continues t 3 violate the essential disposi-
tions of the armistice of Malmo. "At this moment,"
says his MAJESTY, " we cannot decide, especially for
the interests of the said Duchies, to have recourse to
any other mode than that of negotiation, to hinder
this abuse of power, and re-establish the legal state of
things." The KING concludes by saying, that until
these negotiations shall be terminated he assures his
faithful Schleswig subjects, that he does not con-
sider it obligatory on their part to recognise the
present forced authority as the legal power, and
that he will not regard their refusal Ito submit to
that power as a violation either of their duty or
their oath. General Box's; is everywhere received
with marks of high respect and devotion. He was
present at a recent ball given at Altona. It is stated
that the General in command has been charged,
on this visit, by the Queen of Paussza, to present a
gold medal to Madame ORNEMANN, in acknowledg-
ment of her MAJESTY'S approval of the solicitude
evinced by that benevolent lady in taking
care of the sick and wounded Prussians who
fought in Schleswig-Holstein. The General
is likewise commissioned to present a number
of silver medals from the Queen of PRUSSIA to the
other ladies who so generously devoted themselves to
relieving the sick. The General made a similar dis.
tribution at Rendsburg.
Those of our officers who were on furlough till the
end of January have received orders to join their
respective regiments at the beginning of the month.
This is, of course, connected with the reinforcement
of the Danish troops on Alsen, where an army of
12,000 men are already concentrated.—Hamburgh

FIE NICOLL,cO REGENT. STREET and

The NICOLL.—This Is the Trade Mark and distinctive Title
given to a Patented OUTER COAT, or PALETOT, in which there
is a double use and purpose ; in other words, the same garment pan
be used as a warm Minter Outer Coat, and again converted into a
light Walking Paletot,. by,
.simply removing a warm interlining,
which is attached or,detached easily, and in a manner most novel
and ingenious.

The NICOLL, or the Two Garments (above-mentioned) incor-
porated in One, is charged at the moderate price of Three Guineas.
Indeed, if the contemplated Sale of Thousanda be not effected, the
Patentees will lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low
prices new quoted.

Messrs. NICOLL are the Originators and Sole Proprietors of the
deservedly well-knows REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and 7 Vic.
cap. 65) of Llama Cloth; and they continne to be honoured with the
patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of
Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, and all others distinguished in rank and fashion, the
Court. the Pulpit, and the Bar.
MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, LITERARY, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS will, it is presumed, readily concede
their patnnage upon this New and Patented Invention, as also
Merchants and Railway Travellerq, who are subject to colds, &c.,
arising from the fluctuations In a climate like that of Great Britain,
where, even in the most settled weather, at this season, a warm coat
is universally used during mornings and evenings, but at mid-day,
from the active habits and avocations of all classes, a light Walking
Paletot Is indispensable.

RAILWAY TRAVELLERS will find great convenience in its
Pocket Protector, which effectually preserves from loss the railway
ticket, loose cash, &c.aibesides a peculiar comfort for Night Travel-
ling, which must be seen and worn to be appreciated.
The Country Agents for the New Patents are the same hig,kly re-
spectable firms whe have of late years held the appointments direct
from the Patentees in London.

CALTTION.—The NICOLL—Any person or persons using the
same, or a similar title, or trade mark, whereby the Public may be
deceived, will be proceeded against, as by injunction of the High
Court'of Chancerk, &c.; as also by the infringement of the principle
claimed In the Royal Letters Patent, granted to the unierslgnel,
which mainly consists in the adaptation of the linings of Coats,
Paletots, &c., to a separate use and purpose, &c.

thati have experienced by taking only a few of your lozenges. I
had a cough for several weeks that defied all that had been pre-
scribed for me, and 3et I got completely rid of it by taking about half

enemy from two or three excellent positions by the su-
perior force of my six and twelve-pound batteries doing
effective service. At one o'clock I was in possession of
the heights of Budomir, and two or three rounds put the
enemy to flight. The ground was so intersected that the
cavalry could not act. It was impossible to take
the bridge over the Hernath, owing to the
peculiarities of the ground. To make sure of
the bridge, I ordered Captain Scudier, with two
squadrons of Cuirassiers and one squadron of
Chasseurs to ford the stream. A battalion of Maz-
zuchelli's regiment volunteered to join. At the village
of BACZ4, Major Concoreggio of the Chasseurs, Captain
Scudier of the Staff, and Lieutenant Begg of the Chas-
seurs, in the hope of capturing some of the enemy 's
guns, pushed forward, but were received by a round of
musketry. The major fell mortally wounded ; Lieute-
nant Begg was wounded severely, and Captain Scudier
has not since been heard of, and is presumed to be a
prisoner. The necessary steps have been taken to as-
certain his fate. After this loss the Chasseurs fell back
with their wounded officers. Our loss was otherwise
small, though the enemy numbered 25,000 strong. We
have taken a great number of prisoners, and found in
Kaschau stores of ammunition, powder, &c. I purpose
pointing out to your Excellency those of my officers who
distinguished themselves."

DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHARIST, DEC. 7.—The Russian military au-
thorities continue to make numerous arrests. The
day before yesterday an English subject was seized
in his own house and thrown into prison. On
receiving this intelligence Mr. COLQUHOUN, the
British Consul, immediately made a protest to the
Stadtholder of the Principalities against this viola-
tion of domestic privilege, and at the same time
demanded the immediate release of the person arrested,
without payment of the usual fine, as well as ample
satisfaction for the injustice committed against a
British subject. The Kaimakan replied, that it
was impossible he should be considered respon-
sible—he was ignorant of the whole affair; that
he would willingly give the required satisfaction if it
depended upon him. As Mr. CoraaunouN could not
gain anything from the Kaimakan, he applied to
the Turkish commissioner, who could do nothing
except make a protest against the conduct of the
Russian military authorities. The case has, there-
fore, been referred to the British Ambassador, Sir
STRATFORD CANNING, who has taken it up ener-
getically.
Winter is now at hand, and it is pretty certain the
Russians intend to keep their quarters here. It is
true that Count NESSELROD; in his circular of the
"More than once, in former times,
31st of July, said,
we have occupied either wholly or in part,
the Danubian provinces, but, faithful to our
word previously pledged, we have each time
quitted them, BO 50011 as the conditions
were fulfilled, which were dependent upon
our evacuation. This will again be the case now ;
as soon as legal order shall be established in
Wallachia, and the Porte considers that it has re-
ceived a sufficient guarantee for the future tranquillity
of the two provinces, our troops will be withdrawn
from them, and immediately resume their strong de-
fensive position on the frontiers. This tranquillity
has, surely been re-established, for the Turkish
commissioners themselves assert that this is the case,
and further that the'presence of the Ottoman troops is
a sufficient check to any further breach of the peace.
But the truth of the matter is, that Turkey is fully
aware of the advantages she derives from her present
occupation, and is glad to avail herself of any pre-
text, however untenable, which may permit her to
retain paramount authority here.—German Papers,
Dec. 29.
