We received this morning the Austrian Observer to
the 16th, Berlin Papers to the 17th, Piedirtontese Gazettes
to the 18th, and the Algenseine Zenon: to the 21st. We
cannot glean, however, from the whole mass a single
article of political intelligence of the slightest import
ante. The Arabian Observer merely states that the
Most melancholy accounts continue to be received from
Styria, Carinthia, the Tyrol, and some places in Upper
Austria, of the devastations occasioned by inundations.
After the long rains had ceased, another affliction suc-
ceeded in consequence of the melting of the snow on the
*Oolitic' of the mountains, which formed impetuous
invests. and swept away in the plains beneath whatever
the farmer inundations had spared.
The Berlin Papers, which are also entireltdestitute
of news of general interest, mention an instance of the .
great tare which the present Emperor of Russia. exhi-
bits to gain popularity abroad, and of his punctuality
in Milling engagements even when they have devolved
upds him only as the successor of former Monarchs. It
appears that the Empress CATHILRINS 11. who was a
native of Stettin, had. in the plenitude of her joy upon
being -affianced to PETIT' of unhappy memory, pro-
mised, amongst other good things, to send to the place
of her bitch a specimen of every medal that should be
struck in the land of her adoption, and in which she
was destined to play afterwards so conspicuous a part.
The Emperor Islrcuot.as, being rendered aware of this
- engagement, lately transmitted to that city two gold
medals, one on the death of the Emperor ALEXANDIIII,
and the other commemorating his own accession to
the throne. In this proceeding. trivial as it may
appear, we see the character of the man, and
though it is less shewy than that of his immediate
predecessor, it is composed of more solid qualities, and
such as, in the long run, will enable him to exercise
a greater influence over the minds of men both at
home and abroad. In confirmation of our opinion of
the two Sovereigns, we find that the present, though his
reign has been of very short duration, and its current
r smooth as to be scarcely perceptible at a distance,
bas already all but accomplished an object, which defied
all the resources of the late Emperor, and which had,
in fact, embarrassed, if not embittered, his latter years.
Aozzaatiatt knew that his subjects to a man expected
from him an arrangement favourable to Greece, and
that to disappoint them would be to detract from their
respect for his person and authority ; yet it is well known,
that not only he could not gratify them on this favourite
topic, but that he was obliged, in order to avoid a
greater evil, to shock their wishes by pursuing a quite
different course of policy. The Treaty, which we lately
published, and the powerful armament which has sail-d
from a Russian port to enforce its provisions, fully il-
lustrate our argument with respect to the characters of
the two Monarchs, whilst they convey a pretty correct
ides of the unostentatious activity by which the pre-
sent reign is likely to be distinguished.
The Pied montese Gazettes, which are as deficient in
matter of political interest as the former, contain an
account of a furious hurricane, accompanied by showers'
of hail of an extraordinary six., which visited Turin
and its vicinity on Sunday the 15th inst. The !corm fell
particularly on the beautiful hills round that city, but its
greatest rage was vented at 810, c..liere, where it de.troy-
ed nearly every hope of the vintage, beat down all the
fruit from the trees, and tore up a great number of the
vary largest trees in the city. Very few of the windows "-
wed, whilst the injury done in the neighbourhood was
only imperfectly ascerzained. How grateful we ought
to be in this country, as we said some time since, in
