HAMBURGH MAIL.

ST. PETER SBURGII, JULY 16.—The birthday of the
Empress, whose health for some weeks past has been
again indifferent, was kept the day before yesterdays at
Peterhof, by the Imperial family alone, and the great
fete usual on that day was omitted. The expense of
this fete, which may amount to Jialf a million of silver
roubles, is said to be assigned by the Emperor to the in-
habitants of the western Governments, who are suffering
in consequence of the failure of the crops last year.
The review and evolutions of the troops in the camps at
Krasnojesels and Reporha are continued under the in-
spection of the Emperor, and the Grand Dukes Alex-
ander and Michael. The three days' sifze and capture
of the town of Naiva is to take place on the 28th, 29th,
and 30th of this month.

WARSAW, JULY B.—The police publishes a notice
stating that only one-third of the Jewish recruits -for
the levies this year have presented themselves. Taro-
thirds have fled. Severe penalties are denounced
against persons who harbour deserters. The Gazette
contains also a long list of the names of Christian and
Jewish recruits, who have fled to avoid serving in the
army. How is this circumstance to be reconciled with
the words of the Emperor, which he spoke some weeks
ago in the Jewish hospital, in praise of the military zeal
of the Jewish youth. Either his officers, bribed by the
Jews, have made false representations to him, or be
wished by the magic of his imperial word (and we know
how powerfully it influences even the most independent
minds) to inspire the Jews with a military spirit and
zeal in the service, which he does not now find in them•'
STOCKHOLM, JULY 15.—The London Society for the
Relief of Foreigner. in Distress has applied to our King
to become one of its protectors ; to which His Majesty
has sent a gracious answer, with a donation of 1201. ster-
ling.

KONIGSBURG, JULY 17.—The accounts of the appear-
ance of the crops in these parts are in general veri
unfavourable. On the banks of the Vistula, the beat
has had such an effect that the summer corn seed in some
places has not come up, and the cattle find but scanty
food. In many parts both the winter and summer COrn
are by no means promising ; the latter, it is feared, will
wholly fail. The potato crop is very poor. The ravages
of the dreadful storm of the 9th of July contribute to
make the prospect still more gloomy.—Hamburgh Papers,
July 23.

out
lodged at the house of Mr. Colson, in the High-street. lie srl he
walking with his wife and daughter on Monday eveniegsanoff•
