OGLVIE'S ORATIONS.

The arrival of Mr.. OGILvIE in this CITY
is announced by his advertisement in our,
columns of this day. This gentleman has
acquired hga deg ee ofceieDrity in seve
raj OF our sister states as an ORATOR, deep
ly versed in the art or rather in the arts OF
elocution. In the capital OF Virginia, where
he long resided, aud in the neighborhood of
one OF the first classical seminaries in the
Union, his orations were GENERALLY admired
as correct models both OF composition and
delivery. His reputation in that vicinity,
was such as Gould not fail to CRAFTY the
most ardent love of fame, of which 1t would
be no compliment either to his he ad or heart,
to suppose him destitute. IL his peregrina.-
tons, since he left that capital, in Ba!ti..
more, Philadelphia, Gew-York and Boston,
we have uniformly observed that his efforts,
in one of the most difficult as well as most
useful and agreeable OF the polite arts. have
been crowned with general and unequivocal
applause. These iacts are the best evidence
OF the superior merit of Mr. OGILyIE, in
the profession to which he has devoted him
seif-aDd we state them only in satisfaction
OF that claim which real merit shall ever
possess to our exertIons to promote its ad
Vancement and prosperity.-RegiSfer.

Nothing transpires from Russia which APP

Prussia. that in Europe reports have been
circulated respecting the intended annihila

can be pronounced from the present state of
Berlin. The condition Of these countries

at the time otthe repeated partitions of that
country, which Europe behed without emo
