viously received. We shall not follow the example of
one at least of our cotemporaries, the New Times and
Representative, by giving a well leaded column of
extracts from these papers, (the Proclamations of
Generals BERMUDEZ and PAEZ), every word of
which appeared in our Paper two days ago.

We received last night Dutch Papers of the 29th
instant, by which we learn from St. Peteriburgh, that

some further mitigation of the sentences of part (lithe
persons implicated in the late conspiracy, has taken
place. The news from Moscow comes down to. the
7th, being two days later than that in the French
Papers, and announces the public entry of their Im-
perial MAJESTIES into that City on the preceding

day. It is said, however, that a further postpone-
ment of the Coronation has taken place. The intel-
ligence from Constantinople is an echo of the accounts
which we have received from the French Papers. The
following are extracts from the Amsterdam Courant
of the 29th instant :

PETERSBURGH, AUG. 12.—The accomplices in the late
conspiracy, who hive been condemned to work in the
mines or to banishment to Siberia, have lately set out for
the place of their destination in several divisions, under a
strong escort. Several of them are accompanied by their
wives. The lot of many staff and superior officers who
Were implicated in the criminal investigation, by partici-
pation in the treasonable societies, which are now entirely
broken up, has been graciously determined by an imperial
order of the day, just published. The Emperor, says this
document, after previous enquiry into the bad conduct of
those officers, some of whom belonged to the forbidden socie-
ties, and others who have been found guilty of having been
partakers in or privy to their designs, considering the cir-
cumstances which have misled them, and lastly considering
that all of them took no part in the wicked plans; that
some lied left the societies; and, besides, that all have ex-
pressed sincere repentance for their conduct; has graciously
ordered that these officers shall not undergo any sentence
from the criminal courts, and shall be liable only to cor-
rectional punishments. Among them is said to be
Colonel Glinka, aid-de-camp to the late General Milani-
dowitsch, who was assassinated, and a number of the offi-
cers, both of the guard and the line, most of whom are to
be under arrest for a few months, and placed in other re-
giments.
Moscow, AUG. 7.--,Their Imperial Majesties yester-
day made their solemn entry into this city. Though a
gentle south-east wind blew, the heat was 26 deg. In
order to prevent accidents, the police ordered, the (lay
before, that every one might proceed, before two o'clock,
to the place whence lie intended to see the procession ;
but that after that hour he would be hindered by
,the troops
stationed in the streets. For this reason the people
thronged the streets before that hour, in order to reach in
time the stages prepared, when the places were paid for
at a ruble up to two ducats per head. The roofs were
full of people. The first stories of the houses from Sas-
tawa to the Kremlin were hung with draperies of various
colours. The great palaces were adorned with cloth of
gold, velvet silk, and cashmere, with gold fringes, borders,
and tassels, and rich tapestry, hung over the balconies.
At three o'clock nine cannon-shot gave
.a signal to the
troops to enter the city, where they were drawn up in
their lines.
At five a salute of 71 guns announced the arrival of
their Majesties at Sastawa, and the ringing 'of bells was
beard on every side. His itjesty the Emperor was on
horseback, with the Grand Duke Michael on his right, and
Prince Charles of Prussia on his left hand, accompanied
by a numerous suite of Russian and foreign Generals and
Aides-de-Cainp. The Empress Alexandria, with the
Grand Duke Alexander at her side,' was in a splendid
coach, and the joyful acclamations of the multitude every
where saluted the Imperial pair.
The procession was just two English miles in length, for
when the third division of the horse guards, which opened
the procession, reached Sastawa; the 'postilions who closed
it were at the gate of the Petrowsky Palace. The cere-
mony was not over till seven o'clock. The whole city was
illuminated. On the boulevard of Twer, which was splen-
didly illuminated by order of the Governor-General, nu-
merous persons of high rank were walking till eleven in
the evening, seeking their carriages, and it was midnight
before they all got away.
The Coronation is deferred on account of the fast, which
does not end till the 15th (probably the 27th N.S.), and
lo day is yet fixed for it.

We received this morning Frankfort papers of the
24th instant, but they are chiefly filled with accounts
of the baneful effects of the long-continued dry weather,
which destroyed the provender for the cattle. It ap-
pears that storms have been very frequent in the
Austrian Provinces, where serious damage has been
sustained in consequence. A tremendous thunder-
storm took place on the afternoon of the 6th instant,
at Admont, in Upper Styria, where the lightning
struck the steeple, passed through the clock into the
chancel, and killed two priests who were officiating at
the time. The storm rose on three sides of the
valley, and congregating at the centre, burst in murky
darkness, with overwhelming torrents, which carried
every thing before them. _ _

HAMBURGII, AUG. 18.

We receive from Mecklenburgh and Holstein the most
melancholy accounts of the effects of the drought; the
meadows, as in England, are so bare that the cows are
without fodder. The crop of oats can hardly be called
half a crop, but the state of the potato, plantation is re-
potted to be. still more alarming, so that in some places it
is feared the crop will totally fail. Several districts which
used to export large quantities will be obliged to import
for their own consumption.

VIENNA, AUG. 17.

Our journals contain accounts of great damage done by
storms in some of our provinces. Thus, on the 6th
August, says a letter from Admont, in Upper Styria, be-
tween three and four in the afternoon, dark thunder-
stoma rose on three different sides, and at length joined
the centre of the valley. It became as dark as night, and
a torrent of rain gave reason to imagine that the tempest
itself in the form '
s cehxaprlgoesdi o n Ii k
would soon pass over, when all at once the lightning,
struck the steeple, passed through the clock into the chan-
cel, and killed two priests who were doing duty there.
They were killed on the spot : every means to recut ani-
mation was employed for hours, but without the smallest
enft;ecat.
