FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, JUNE 29.—The re-
port which we stated on the 14th, of the appear-
ance of a malignant fever in the harbour of Odessa,
symptoms of which are said to have been no-
ticed on the 29th ult., seems, unhappily, to be
confirmed by letters from Odessa, of the 25th
instant, which (written it is true on the first
alarm) speak of symptoms of dig Oriental plague.
On the 22d the Government had ordered all
the effects in the harbour to be burnt, and a ship
to be destroyed. The Lazaretto is cleared, and a
separate place allotted for the sick. All communi-
cations between the harbour, which is closed, and
the town, have ceased. It is said that for some
days the number of persons who died in the harbour
was from 10 to 15 daily. All ships from the ports
of Bulgaria are put under the most rigorous qua-
rantine.

We have late advices from Havannah this
morning, which state that no new act of piracy
had been committed on that coast since the pre-
ceding accounts. The American ships of war
were keeping an active look out, and were cruizing
in all directions, and giving convoy to the mer-
chantmen whenever any danger was apprehended.

It is not generally known that the Russian
General Count DIEBITSCII is under fifty years
of age, a German by birth, a soldier of fortune,
and son-in-law of the famous BARCLAY DE
TOLLY.

We have received Demerara Papers this
morning to the 25th May. The Act for the
establishment of a Savings' Bank for the Slaves
of the United Colony of Demerara and Esse-
quibo, having received his MAJESTY'S assent,
would be put in force immediately.

A Proclamation of Sir BENJAMIN DURBAN
appears in the Paper of the 20th, for the better
regulation of the rebuilding of the New Town,
which was destroyed by the dreadful fire there,
and offering the advantage to such houses as
were built entirely of stone, of being only liable
to pay town taxes for a period of ten years, on

the one half of the amount of the assessed value
of such buildings. No cooperages nor grog-
shops were to be allowed in this district.

Advices from Paris affirm that the Directors
of the Bank of France had postponed the dis-
cussion of the expediency or inexpediency of re-
ducing the rate of interest, which had been fixed
for Saturday last, to an indefinite period.

Extracts from French, Hamburg, and German
Papers will be found in another column. The
speech of General LAMARQUE, touching the
power of the English navy, and the future
victories of that of France, as well as the de-
struction of English commerce by the means of
steam boats, is well worthy the serious attention
of Englishmen. The General says, and per-
haps truly, that steam seems destined to restore
the equality y'the seas, as gunpowder has done
on land. It will certainly affect a great revolu-
tion—but England is there before hand with
France, having already 338 steam vessels, while
France has only nine.- The Minister of Marine
is empowered to apply two millions of francs for
the construction of steam vessels.

In another column will be found an article
from the Caledonian Mercury, which is well
worthy of attention. The writer—whose re-
marks by the way seem to carry an air of autho-
rity about them—states, " the Duke of CUM-
BERLAND has declared that he will not leave
England until he has effected the dismissal of
the Duke of WELLINGTON." That the Orange
Duke has really made this declaration, we have
no more doubt, than that it will be attended with
utter disappointment. What else could keep
him in a country where he is so universally un-
popular, and where it is quite sufficient for him
to decide one way, to induce Englishmen to de-
cide the other ? Had his Royal Highness never
meddled with the Catholic Emancipation Bill,
we are convinced, notwithstanding what we have
heard of his prodigious influence, that it would
riot have been carried so triumphantly as it has
been. But it was his unpopular interference
with a great national question, fully as much as
the justice of the question itself, that decided the
day against him. The public felt convinced that
whatever side his Royal Highness should take,
it could not fail to be a dangerous and unna-
tural one.

RUSSIAN FLEET IN THE BLACK SEA.

A Berlin Paper of the 4th instant, gives the
following, under•date of Odessa, 17th June, as
the number of the Russian fleet in the Black
Sea—amounting to 14 ships of the line, several
frigates, and sloops of war, and carrying 1,496
guns. With such a fleet, we think, the Rus-
sians ought to be ashamed of themselves for not
accomplished a vast deal more,—indeed,
having
they have done nothing worthy of notice, unless
it be the surrender of a frigate, without even
firing a shot for the honour of Russia! In the
hands of an active Power, what might not such a
fleet achieve ? The army of PASKEWITSCH
might have been transported from the confines of
Persia, and landed at or in the vicinity of
Scutari, while the armies of the Danube might
have rushed on towards Constantinople. But
these are things apparently beyond the compre-
hension—or the possibility of the Russian
Commanders, who carry on a petty war of
detail infinitely more destructive to their
forces than a bold plan of campaign, the
character of which would at least save their
military genius from reproach, if its result
might not altogether prove so successful and
glorious as they would have good reason to
expect. They would have the satisfaction to
think that they had made a proper demonstra-
tion of their power, and that, next to victory,
is
all that a General has a right to be proud of.
But this demonstration She Russians have not

is understood that advances were made, on the
part of the Ministry, to the leading members of
the Ultra Tory party, and these gentlemen ex-
pressed their readiness to join the Duke's Ad-
ministration, provided PEEL were sacrificed to
their resentment," we think it far from impro-
bable, that if such advances were really made on
the part of the Duke, such would be the stipula-
tion of the Ultra Tories. Mr. PEEL, we know,
is a marked man among them. He has lost his
caste, and is looked on as a Paria by the
fraternity. But inasmuch as he has suf-
fered in their estimation, he has gained in
that of the community. If, like the serpent,
he has cast his skin, it has only been to put on
the new one of promise, and renewed vitality.
Besides, let it never be forgotten—let it be ire-

corded on his cenotaph, and inscribed in the

annals of the Constitution—that to his timely
conversion, the success of the Catholic Question
was mainly owing. He it was whose conduct
decided that of the country (for he is and
always has been an eminently popular Home
Minister) which felt that while his temperate
