BUCHAREST. MAY S.

We are in daily expectation of the Russians. The
Hospodar is preparing to go to Constantinople with his
whole family. The Austrian Consul goes to Herman-
stadt, and has already ceased his functions. The last
travellers that have arrived here from Constantinople
say, that it is idle to talk of a large Turkish army on
the Danube, and that the whole may perhaps amount
to 40,000 men.— Algerneine Zeitung, May 21.

The Archbishop of this city has received orders from
the Pali larch at Constantinople, to make all the Greeks

who are nailer the protection of the foreign Consuls
lay reside the European dress, and wear the peculiar
cobturne of their own nation. In case of need he is to
have recourse to Hus,ein Pada. who has hinsselt re.
ceived the necessary orders for the execution of this
measure.

The Greek Festival of Easter has ht en celebrated
with unusual splendour. The procession, which war
followed by an immense crowd, came out of one of the
side doors of the Church, and went through the street
to re-enter at the great door. This circumstance has
been the more observed, as up to this time the several
Christian communities have been obliged to confine
their religious ceremonies to the interior of their
Churches. The Greeks consider this innovation as a
signal favour, and a new pledge of the special prctee.
tion which is given to their religion.--Frankiart
Papers, May 21.

The snbjoined extract from a Lyons Journal is Inte4
resting, as showing the comparative prosperity of she
silk manufactures of France and of Poland. That ihe
demand for French Silks has been on the decrease is
well known ; but that they should be undersold in the
market by the fabrics of Poland, is certainly a novelty.
The latter country already exports woollen cloths, did
has considerable manufactures cf linen, .cotton, and
hardware. How long it will be a market for Great
111k:tin becomes daily a matter of greater anxiety, with
reference to the laws which still keep up the plices of
our ,goods. With regard to the silk trade, this fact is
an additional argument for the policy of ?educing our
import duties on the raw material. The following is
the paragraph:
At the last Leipsic fair, a silk manufacturer from the neigh,
bourhood of Leipaic has rivalled those of Lyons. Arrived at the
fair with a stock of the value of 100,000 thalers (16 2500, he
posed ofthe whole to the last piece ; his prices being found lower
than those of the French merchants, and his goods being nothing
inferior to those of France in regard to real beauty, bat only in point
of external brilliancy."
