We received this morning the Journal de St. Peters.
bourg to the 4th inst. It contains news from the army
in Georgia to the Sd ult. detailing some trivial opera-
tions, against one of those numerous and savage hordes,
which render rather a nominal than a real homage
to the SCHAIg; and nothing in the course of this war
has surprised us so much, as its want of lively interest
and animated bustle. No action of any consequence had
yet taken place, and only, one siege has been under-
taken, which likewise seems to participate of the general
languor, the place, notwithstanding its rude construc-
tion, still holding out against the Russians. Yet two
or three bulletins are published every month, for the
gratification of his Imperial MAJESTY'S vassals, with as
much ostentation, as if each of them reoorded the
conquest of a province, or the defeat of a formida-
ble army. The difficult nature of the country, and the
poverty of its resources, may be pleaded, perhaps, as an
excuse for the comparative inaction hitherto displayed,
in the finest season too of the year, by the invading army;
but what are the difficulties which the latter have to en-
counter, compared with those which the English had met
with in the Burmese war, and so gallantly overcome? Let
us hear therefore no more of danger, to our Indian em-
pire from the arms of a people, who, in a wa►, waged
upon their own frontiers, have been hitherto unable to
bring into the field a body of 20,000 men at most, of
hom only one•balf is actively employed. Even this effort
is a great one for the Russian Treasury, and would pro-
bably drain it altogether in the course of a few cam-
paigns: It is idle therefore to speak of the invasion of
India by a Russian army ; for the Sovereign of Russia
might as well think of joining the Caspian with the
Gulf of Persia, or the Wulga with the Indus, by means
of navigable canals, as to march a large force to the
nearest point of our Indian Possessions; and when it
had got so far,what could it effect against our numerous,
admirably organised, and well disciplined army ?
The news from the Russian army, as we said before,
is extremely meagre, merely giving an account -of an
expedition, undertaken by four companies of the 4th
Regiment of Cossacks, against some Tart rs, who had
advanced from Daralaghez towards the villages situ-
ated along the little river Kirk Paula. There they met
with I'3 of the enemy, who had 20 oxen under their care,
when the whole, including men and beasts, were va•.
lorously captured. In their next movement, which ex-
tended as far as the village of Tchadran, the Cossack,

were still more fortunate, as they made 116 men pi.
inners, and took 241 oxen, and SI horses, besides 11$
bales, containing wheat and other articles. Here the
expedition terminated; but the men who had been
taken prisoners, were set at liberty by General Bur,

ILtUDORFF, in order that on their return, they might
apprise their tribe of the generosity of the invaders.
The plan succeeded ; for we are teld that ASLAN, Sula
tan of this horde (the Schadlines) applied to the Ruir
sian General in writing, for permission to place himself
under the protection of Russia, and moreover persuaded
some Agalares of the Khanal of Erivan to follow his
example. Their request aas complied with, and letters
of protection were given to all of them.

The St. Petersburgk Aunts: also contains intelligence
from OJessa to the 17th ult. but it is exclusively mere
cantile. At that time trade was very brisk ; the streets
were crowded with waggons, and the toads, as
well as the post, full of shipping. Within a few
days eighty vessels had arrived, most of them to take
in cargoes of wheat. The consequence was, that good
wheat had begun to become scarce, notwithstanding the
great supplies which daily arrived from the Interior.
Wheat of the first quality sold at fourteen rubles
sixty-five copecks per chetwert ; and it was expected
that this price would be maintained for some time,
as further arrivals from Constantinople were expected
by the first favourable wind. To judge from this great
activity, no apprehensions were entertained at Odessa
of an immediate rupture between Russia and Turkey,
and it must be allowed that the opinions entertained
there on this subject are entitled to some respect.—The
following is an extract :

" ST. PETERSBURGH, JuLY S.

" The flock of Merinos, the property of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Win temberg as well as that of
M. Peitet, has yielded about 3560 pooch (1243,000144
of fine wool, which have been sold for exportation. The
wool of the Merinos was sold at 35 to 354 rubles; that
of the third generation at SO, and that of the fir►t and
second at 20 rubles."

Honduras Papers to the 19th May, were received
this morning at the North and South American Coffee
House. The following is the only article worth er•
tracting
" We have the following news from Central America, dated
Guatemala, the 15th ultimo:—The last accounts received hen
from the President Arce states that he is in Santa Ana collecting

quiet, and well guarded by its inhabitants, who are formed ins
corps, and patrol every night. It is expected that the President
will succeed in restoring order throughout the Republic : ditto
einem is at a stand still at present."

There was also an arrival this morning from New
South Wales, bringing Papers to the 7th March, which
are extremely barren. The following is an extract:
" We have spin to record an instance of hostility and agerectim
on the part of the Blacks to the district of Newcastle. They hoc
recently paid a visit to Mr. Cay's farm, and given him ample
reason to remember them. They have burnt his sacks of wheat,
and consumed for him fifteen hundred bushels. We are happy
to hear that Sir Thomas Brisbane is about to receive a large grant
of land in this Colony. The order to allow his agent to select to
thousand acres has been here for some weeks."

Accounts from Cadiz, dated June 30, state, they
have received advice: from Git*altar, stating that the
Pinchincha Colombian privateer, wanted to enter the
above port, but was prevented by the Governor, and
was obliged to set sail again, when she burnt her only re•
mining prize, after taking the cargo on board.
