REMARKS.
Barometrical pressure is greater on the S.W. coast of Ireland by
four-tenths of an inch than it was on Sattriay, but the change in
pressure since yesterday morning has been but slight. The highest
reading is at Valencia, exceeding that at L'Orient by 0'34 inch. Tem-
perature is nearly the same as on Saturday. The winds this morning
are generally from E. to N.B. in these islands, and are light : a fresh
breeze is reported from Weymouth, where it blew yesterday from the
eastward with a force 8. On the west coast of France winds aro
variable. Yesterday there was an easterly gale at Toulon, force 9.
Mist has prevailed during the previous twenty-four hours on the N.
and E. coasts. Thunder occurred on Saturday night at places. The
weather is now fine in the N., but cloudy or overcast in the S. Rain
is falling on the French coast.

The Belgian Government has addressed a circular note,
dated August 2, to all its diplomatic agents abroad, deny-
ing in the most positive manner the reports recently circu-
lated respecting a customs' and military union between
France and Belgium. The circular note states that no
negotiations on the subject have passed between the
Cabinets of Brussels and Paris.

Tvo meetings—one to be held at Lemberg, in
Galicia, and the other at Cracow, in the same province—
have been forbidden by the Austrian Government. The
Lemberg meeting was to have nominated a deputation to
proceed to Zurich to take part in the inauguration of the
monument to the Poles, and the Cracow meeting was to
take the place of the first in case it was prevented. The
Vienna Cabinet does not usually restrict the right of
meeting, but the fear of compromising Austria's relations
with Russia has led to this extraordinary exercise of
power.

The manifestations of the Czechs in Bohemia have
become so serious that the Governor of Prague has opened
an inquiry into the subject.

The son of Prince Karageorgewitch has addressed a
petition to the Hungarian Minister of Justice, imploring
that his father may, by reason of his illness, be transferred
to his own residence, and there guarded ; also, that he
(the son) may he permitted to communicate with his
father. The Minister has replied that the Tribunal of
Pesth must decide the question.

The Bulgarian rising has been entirely suppressed, but
it appears that the most violent measures have been
adopted by the Turkish Government. On his arrival at
Rutschuk, Midhat Pasha put to death all the insurgents
who remained after a skirmish which took place in the
neighbourhood. In addition, every person who may be
suspected by the military authorities has been arrested
and imprisoned, without any trial or examination.
Midhat Pasha endeavours to justify these extremities by
the plea that the country is still unsettled, and that
another insurrection is to be feared.
