We are sorry TO add confirmation to TIE
reports of the progress of the Hessian Flv
in the wheat. By Information from the
whole wheat country on this side the
mountain, from the Forest of Prince
Georges, in maryland, and, indeed, from
the whole of the circumi lac ent country, we
are Informed that the crop is injured even
more than at first surmised. We have
confident hope, however, that the evil is
confined 10 the lower parts of MARYLAND
and Virginia, 10 whose farmers it is
severe disappointment of their lust hopes
cf rcapiDg rich harvest. As to the sup
ply for domestic consumption, there can
be no doubt but any deficiency i'm that
crop will be abundantly supplied by the
promised redundance. NAT. Int.

One of the singuaritics, worth remark
ing, of the present times is this, that Mir
"a, the Persian Ambassador at the Court
o. St. Petersburgh, cannot converse with
the Emperor Alexandria, nor the Emperor
with him in any other language than the
English! The Emperor does not under
stand the Persian, nor the Ambassador,
Russian.
1t has been asserted with some conf
dence, tiIata French gentleman, who ar
rived here some months since, calling
himself Mons. Bellevue, and who was sup
posed at the time TO have been Marshal
>oult, was none other in fact than eau
Iincourt, Due de Yicenza. This suppo-
sltion cannot be true. The description
given of Caulincourt by General LaIle-
mand disagrees with the person of Mons.

ton from gentleman who was acguaint-
ed with the former when French minister
at the Court of ST. Petersburg which sets
the matter entirely at rest.
