lar and interesting fact (says the Scotsman
has been asccrtained respecting the leveltt

the waters OF this sea were gradually sink.
ing; but a memoir, published in the Swedish
Transactions for 1928, has put the change
beyond doubt. M. Bnncrono, assisted bv
some officers Of the Swedish plotting estab
lshmcnt, has examined the Swedish coasf
with great care, from lat, Sc to 62. and Mr.
Halstorm has examined those of the gulf of
Bothnia. The results Of both inquiries are
given in the form OF table, and though as
might have been expected, they are not
completely uniform, they correspond suffi
ciently to place the subsistence of the wat.
crs beyond dispute. The Baltic, it is obsery.
ed has no tides, and IS therefore favourable
situated for making observations on its level
but with regard to the periods within which
the changes have taken place, it was Of
course necessary to rely on records or oral
testimony. At the latitude of IS, where the
Baltic unitss with the German Ocean
through the Categat, no change seems to be
perceptiblc. But from lat Sc to 63, the
observations show a mean fall Of one foot and
a half in forty years, or four tenths of an
inch annually, or three feet ten inches in a
century. In the gulf of Bothnia, the results
are more uniform, and indicate a mean fall
Of four feet four iuchcsin a century, or rather
more than half an inch annually. The Bal
tic is very shallow at present, and if the
waters continue to sink as they have done,
Rcvel, Abo, Narva, and hundred other
ports, will by and by be inland towns; the

The fourth Campaign of the Turks against

to the accounts heretofore published, we learn
that another naval action was ftusht on the
9TH October off Mytilene, after which the
captain Pacha, with only about thirty yes
sells IN shattered condition, out of his superb
fleet OF 100 sail, returned to the Helespont,
He was followed by the Greeks, who. at the
last dates were at the Dardaneles, and had

son of the Viceroy of Egypt, are both prison.
ers to the Greeks, and they will probably get
large sum for their ransom.
The action of Oct. 7 was against the COM
bined Turkish and Egyptian fleets. The fol-
lowing particulars relative to it are contained
in a letter from Smyrna.
"The Egyptian and the Constantine
pie fleet, together consisting of $50 YES
sells, attacked the Greek fleet, which
consisted of only 70. They met be-
tween Cape Carrabourno and Mitylene.
"Ihe Constantinople fleet came
down from the north of Mytilene, and
the Egyptian fleet came round Schio. SO
that the Greeks were completely sur
rounded. These brave men, however,
firmly maintained their, ground as they
approached, and, having prepared their
tre-ships, went to work heart and hand ;
for no sooner had Admiral Mioulis made
the signal of attack, than the fre-ships
were launched into the very midst OF
the Turkish fleet, and blew up 9 frig-
ates and corvette. But what is more
astonishing, the Greek vessels came into
regular fire with the Turkish frigates,
and 9 corvettes and Q briggs were board
ed and taken, and another brig was sunk.
They also took the Capt. Pacha's ten.
der. Admiral Mioulis, accompanied by
a 6rig, gave chase to Seventy-four, be-
longing to the Egyptian Pacha, and con-
tanning his son, being determined to
board her with 200 men! The IA was
remarkable for her sailing, and by a
great press of convass escaped to the is
land of MytiIene. She was towing a
small galliot when the chase begans but
was obliged to cut her adrift and let her
fall into the hands of Miouis. The
whole barbarian fleet was put to rout

TAX on ,LNTELLLGENCE

A bill is before Congress, providing that no
printer shall be allowed to exchange with
more than fifty papers, free of Postage. We
are at a loss to know what can be the object
OF such proposition. One of similar nature
was made during the latter part Of the 6 Re-
turn Jonathan'' administration of the Post
Office department, and, although the postage,
at that time, did not pay the expenses of the
establishment, it was secuted out ofthe House.
What excuse, then, can be offered for it now,
when it not only pays the expenses, but yields
a revenue to government. BY the passage of
such law, the very object of allowing any
exchanges free would be defeated, because,
those who can best afford to pay the expense,
viz. the large city papers, will want to ex-
change more than the allowed number with
each other, and the poor country printers will
be under the necessity of paying-not postage
barely-but ofpaying for the papers on which
