aud his coun,rymen receive from him all the
kindness and hospitality by which he has Al.
ways been distinguished, at home and abroad.
The summer OF Russia makes up for its short.
ness by the intensity Of its heat. For twelve
or fifteen days preceding the goth July, the
thermometer had indicated, in the middle of
the day, temperature from 81 10 90.

"Talleyrand left this capital two days since for
London, on special and important mission,
supposed to relate to the new constitution of
Portugal. You will soon hear Of trouble in
SpaIn--the "Iegitlmates'' are all alarmed at the
recent proceedings of Don Pedro and his con.
sltution."

The matter of perspiration passes off in state
of preternatural fiuidity: and It's rapid evapora.
