and have annulled all military promotions, all

The attack and defence were particularly lively on the left,
where the enemy was protected by the fort of the Prince,
but he was driven to the glatis by the regiment of the In-

far as the valley of the rivulet of Alontresl. The Preach
General Jainio then had the enemy's right flank attacked
by a battalion of the 3d Light Keeisteut, and obliged them
to make a precipitate retreat, in which our cavalry sabred
a great number of them. In this engagement, which lasted

By the arrival of me iftutTat and Flanders Mails this
morning, we have received Ilatnhtvg and Flanders papers,
from which we select the following extracts:—

ODESSA, di:LT 9.—The four Russian ships which have been
released at Constantinople, and were to return to this port,
have not yet arrived. It is alleged as a reason, that the
Captains have formally protested ngshist their having been
twit to the arsenal, and ordered to return hither, and have con-
segivently made no use of the firman of the Porte, but demand-
ed to be allowed to continue their voyage to the Mediterra-
nean. The European Ministers support their well founded
application, fur the loss is great to tnem and to the owners
of the cargoes ; but it is singular that, after the experience
they have had, they should expect the Porte to alter its course.
Under present circumstances, they may be happy they are set
at liberty.
Srocititotst, Juts 2g.—One of our journals has the follow-
ing from London :—" The Act of Reciprocity, which is so ad-
vantageous to the commerce of Sweden and Norway,ps already
in the Press, and will be soon officially communicated." The
enjoyment of these advantages, as far as Sweden Is concerned,
will, of course, not be carried into effect till after therepeal or
modiacation of our law, resembling the English Navigation

Tus FORTUNATE YOUTH IN Onneus.—The young gen-
tient m Nbo P4sne time since wade so great a noise under
the above designation, has, it seems, entered the Church,
much to the annoyance of the Right Rev. Prelate, who or-
dained him, while utterly unconscious of his identity, and
quite satisfied with the ►estiwonials he was leek, enough
to obtain. Ile has since, however, we understand, sue•

Tata Se 4son.—The severity of the lest winter raised eppre-
hensions In the minds of experienced observers, that an untow-
ard spring, and a backward harvest, would follow. In the first.
four months of this year vegetation made but little progre-s ;
and seldom was the May-day garland so scantily furnished as
the last, with the decorations of Flora. At the beginaing
of the month of May, we took OCC/111011, as soca of the
readers of the eiravasstax who feel an interest in the en-
quiry will remember, to compare the register of the thermo-
meter during the preceding part of the present year, with that
of the corresponding period of the firmer ; and found the tem-
perature of thnt part of the present year to be lower than the
corresponding partof the last. by the number of degrees that
follow: At 8 o'clock, a.m.
' January, 8 degrees ; February, 9 degrees; March, 3 deg. ;
April. 2 deg. At 1 o'clock, p. m.
January, 10 deg. ; February. ti deg.; March, 8 deg. ; April,
2 deg.
The fullowiog were the averages of the several months :

The quantity of rain and melted snow, as measured is the
rain-guage, was also meet greeter in toe beginning of this
than of the preceding year; the difference anvountiug at the
end of April to 3 inches and 11 liontiredths of an inch. Tie
respective quantities that fell in the ses eral months were as
follow :

1822.
Feb. 1823. • . April, 1b25......1,32
1822 ,90 le2t• •....2,37
It will be r...larkevi that though the spring and summer
, months of this year have been much colder than th-so of the
last, the quantity-et rain *Melt fell in March and April, and
as will he seen by and by, In the subsequent months, was not
only much less then that which fell in the covespondlng
mouths of the preceding year, but considerably loss than the
average quantity that falls at that time of the year. The num-
ber of cit.udy days. however, in which we were deprived of
the genial influence of the solar rays. was much greater than
is the former season ; and the evaporation, which carried off
the warmth of the earth. was also more considerable. Thu
fallowing were the quantities of rain that fell in the under-
mentioned months :
May 1893.... ,tlO June 1891 .1.37 Ju'y 1893—.2.73
1829—.1,43 1822....2,30 1822—.3 83
The following is a comparative view of the average degrees
of the thermometer, during the last three months of the pre-
sent,
and the corresponding period of the last year. :
