And drag them back to earth.

Where even language owns the sway
That tramples on the soups decay,
And cannot End a word to tell
That sound which freemen love so well.

1000 tons, was the ship with which this interesting
and important experiment was TO be tried. Though
light wind prevailed the ship was introduced with

lasses worked by 40 or so men each, was applie

pie received from the Refs Efendi, announcing that
the Russian ultimatum was rejected, was received
on the 2lst, and communicated to the Russian Min
listers, who Immediately despatched ii to their Court
AK LA CHAPELLE, March 81.
The rejection Of the ultimatum has given a de-
cislve blow to the Austrian paper currency. From
the 22d to the 25th, the great banking and COM
mercial houses at Vienna sent numerous expresses
to their correspondents in the commercial cities in
the west of Europe.
FRANKFoRT, March So
1t appears the note of the Refs Efendi is, unfor.
tunately OF such nature as to render useless the
mediation of the three Powers, and that notwh-
standing all their efforts 10 preserve peace the OBJ
stinacy and the infatuation of the Sublime Porte,
will render war inevitable. But in case it should
take place, it will be carried on, like that of Naples,
in full concert with the Allied Powers; and even be-
fore it is undertaken, they will previously arrange
together the results of the different chances which
the war may have.

serious litigation. Breaches Of the dam, as well as
breaches ofe heace, have already occurred. A very
large body Of raft and ark have engagedin this
business. Some hghtings have taken place
between the different parties; and the RATS and arks
went though by forced passages.
