BuFHA REs;T, Jutx 14.—The plague appears to
.
relax in ravages. In the last three days, only 10
persons have died of it. The contagion has mani-
festo, :t itself in 21 villages of the districts of Ilsow,
riumbowitza, Wlaska, and Teliomany, most of them
towards the frontiers of Austria. It has also appear-
in the Russian camp at Junteni. The .Russian
authorities have taken energetic measures. The
churches, and all the bazaars, with the exception of
the shops of the butchers, liakers, and apothecaries,
and some wine-houses, have been shut for a fort-
night, during which no trade is to be carried on.
Some boyards of the first chits have been sent with
military surgeons to the infected places, to have them
purified.

EGINA, JUNE 19.—George Mauromichali, son
of the Prince of the Mainotes, A. Nako, and George
IVlilaiti, who were all three formerly at the head of the
Provisional Government, have been, to the general
astonishment, arrested, as well as several Spezziots,
by order of the President, and conveyed to Albani-
tika. The people are lost in conjectures on this
subject, and the more so, as the individuals arrested
belong to the party called English of .the Isles,'
which, shice the arrival of Count Capo d'lstria,
and especially since the Russian declaration of war,
has never ceased to excite distrust against him.
In the list of the pecuniary assistance granted
to Greece by august persionages, we find a sum of
206,000 rubles in silver (800,000 francs), sent as a
donation by her Majesty the Empress Dowager of
Russia for the peor of Greece. The Emperor Ni-
cholas has advanced to the National Bank of Greece
two millions of francs, at five per cent. interest.
VIENNA, JULY 25. The Emperor and Empress
of Austria will leave Baden in a few days to visit
their domains in Upper Austria. Preparations for
forming a camp at Traiskerchen have been com-
menced, and several divisions of the regiments which
are to compose part of it are already arriving.—

PARIS, AuG. 27—Several journals have publi;,hed
particulars relative to the expedition which is lire-
paring at Toulon. The troops, the artillery, subsis-
tence, the persons composing the boards of manage-
ment, the means of conveyance, number of ships of
war,--nothing is forgotten, not even the place where
it is to Find, which, however, cannot be determined
till after information to be received. They hav€
even gone so far 'as to give a command to an officer
who has long ceased to hold a rank in the French
a-my. Every one has made his own calculations,
and it might be feared that the enemy, duly informed
o f the time of the departure, and of the strength of
the expedition, would modify at his leisure all his
plans for the campaign, if, in consequence of their
very'number, these conjectures had not the advan-
tage of causing uncertainty.
These various reports, spread for the purpose of
gratifying an insatiable curiosity, do not appear to us
to be proper for publicity, such as is justly claimed
Ili a guarantee in a constitutional government.
We know a neighbouring; government, where
the public journals, whatever be the spirit that ani-
mates them, impose it on themselves at a law, to
preserve strict silence with respect to foreign pro-
jects. It does not escape their sagacity that the
most vague information may serve to give the alarm,
and sometimes occasion obstacles. This prudent
reserve is commanded by, a sincere loxe for the coun-
try. Let us hope that our journals will comprehend
that there may be patriotism even in silence.*

" The Gazelle de France, dated Tuesday, quoting the
above article, adds the following note to it:—
" Why did not the Ministry foresee these inconveniences
when it brought forward its 144 respecting`the-joninale?
Besides, what does all this prove? That the Govetn-
ment cannot keep its secrets. The journals avis-Anadts to
tell all that is passing, and to publish their cogjecturekgn,
what they know. .
" tithe Ministry had been discreet respecting its plans,
it would not have exposed itself to the necessity of nniv
begging the journals whom it has nude its confidants 4401i2
serve silence.

" There has already been occasion to remark, that the
silence which was so strictly observed respecting all the
ministerial projects and acts since 1824, is no longer the
order of the day, and that every thing which paskr.in the
council of the Ministers is now known, as it weakin 1816
and 182:3."

All the salmon fishings in our vicinity, both
on the coast and in the rivers, have been for some time
past, and still are, very successful. A vast number of very
fine large fish have been caught of late; even the tacksmcn
are nearlysatisfied.-211ontrose Telegraph.

On Wednesday the canal new steam-boat Enter-
prize made her first passage from Northwich to Weston
Point. The novelty of a steamer on a canal, with chimney
to hoist and lower excited much curiosity as she carne
along. The lowering of the chimney was effected with no
other inconvenience than pouring columns of smoke on the
helmsman. The cattle seemed surprised at seeing a steam-
boat in their pastures, as they ran in droves to the edge of
the canal as she was passing.—Lirerpool Albion.
NORFOLK: AGRICULTURAL REPORT roll
,y,j,y.—Most earnestly do 7 participate with our agri-
cultural friends, in the anxieties and alarm which are na-
turally excited by this long continuation of wet weather.—
'i he summer season has been so forcing to vegetation, that
the crops of corn on the rich soils became so heavy as to
yield to the late tempestuous storms, and are sn beaten down
by the torrents, that the binds and other weeds are grow-
ing through them, HO as to preclude their receiving any be-
nefit.
Irons the very short intervals which we
.have had of
dry weather and sunshine. These circumstances have.
greatly increased their liability to injury from mildew,
which has in many cases fallen so heavily on the wheat
crops as to prevent their receiving any further support from
tke root, and it is now become necessary fur the farmers to
avail themselves of every opportunity of reaping them
whenever a sheaf can he got sufficiently dry to bind it, or
the grain will become of but little value. Notwithstand-
ing the perishable state of the above crop, we cannot
admit that the crops generally in this county ate injured to
the extent reported. Those on the greater breadth of
the light soils have been muchbenefitted in hulk by the
moisture of this summer, and, with the exception of peas,
are still promising good productions, sl:ould the rain sub-
side. wee 40 not remember ever to have seen a more gene-
r.d plant of turnips than in the present season, or of their
costing more regularly to the proper SIZE for hoeing ; but
the weather has been most unfavourable for that businees,
as well as for getting up tho latter mown hay, much of
which is of no value but tinemanure ; hut there is already
as n i
otch stacked as is usually grown n ,
this county, and
the second crops of clover are very luxuriant. 'f he suck-
ling seed is beaten down to the earth, and much of it is
sprouting. Grass is in very great abundance; and lean
Scots and lambs are selling at very high prices—the. former
at full Is. per stone, and the latter at from lbs. to gas.
each. From the slackened trade of the manufacturers,
and the unsuitable weather for field business, many of the
labouring classes are destitute of employment, and the ap-
plications for parochial relief are unusually great for this
season of the year:.
