mathematical distinctions Of different ma.

WASHINGTON, MAY 90.

The following extract we find in the
New-York American, Of Monday. 1t
seems 10 corroborate the opinions con-
tanned in the article We on Wednesday
published from the London Traveller,
OF the probability of an INN ediate com.
mencement Of hostili,ies on the par, Of
Russia. The new reign in Russia com.
mences under circumstances Of very
portentuus aspect:
Ersraes oFa letter from London, dated
.d;trii l3th.
Matters are going on smoothly here.
Even the monicd affairs are returning to
their accustomed regularity. Ministers
are strong and popular; and not lit
tie elated at the success of their new
principles Of free trade. The return of
the Duke Of Wellington is anxiously ex-
pected. IL is supposed he left St. Pc
tersburg Immediately after the funeral Of
Alexander: if so, he is now on his way.
His experience and sagaci,y will have
enabled him 10 judge OF the condition Of
Russia, which is hero thought to be one
Of great difficulty. heard, from the
best authority, that more than fourteen
thousand persons were under arrest
some Of them of the noblest and best IA
miles in Russia. No executions have
yet taken place: fact that evinces
most strongly the difficulty of the con.
juncture. This hesitation proves, though
it is attempted to be concealed, the ex.
tent Of the detection; and the alarm
caused by the high character Of the per-
sons connected with il. To pardon or
to punish might, under the circumstan.
ces, be alike fatal. Notwithstanding the
pacific disposition OF Nicholas, /. war
seems to DO the only remedy for the fire
tina, surrounds him. When the Preto-
rian bands are masters, the law they
prescribe must be obeyed with Tur-
key, therefore, must war, in all probabi.
l,ty, be made. Coostantinople may be
pillaged, and Greece relieved from the
Ouoman power. This will give ven, to
the rebellious spirit which seems to
have infected all cusses; extend the
limits Of the empire; and preserve FOR
the present. tho imperial throne. The
Holy Alliance, and, above all, England,
will not see this, without apprehension
and jealousy; but in wha, way they can
avert, or successfully oppose tho war, it
is not easy 10 perceive. The king has
been lately severely attacked with fever
and some inAanmatory symptoms, but
is again convalescent. He has kept
himself much in retiremen, at Windsor,

Lord Say, Gibbons ancestor, was be-

Not much unlike this speech Of Jack
Cade, is the language held BY certain
class Of people in this state, in relation
to the law providing for the establish

be found too bi,er-no denuncialions too

The Harvest commenced in this
neighborhood lasl week and our farm
ers are now busily engaged in securing
the abundant crops OF wheat with which
they are favored by Divine Providence.
The weather, thus far, has been particu-
larly favorable. The army worms, which
threatened the wheat at one time with
entire destruction, suddenly beat re-
trea,-and left it but little injured.-The
weavel, however, may yet come.-Sup-
pose our friends try the simple expert
ment Of the elder leaves, as recommend
ed in an article from an Ohio paper,
which we publish to-day. 1t is easily
done, and can do no harm.
A friend writes US " MR. Cook arriv-
ed at Shawncetown, on the 18Th inst"
The Illinois Reporter has passed into
the hands Of SYDNEY BREEsE, Esq. who
will in future conduct the editorial de-
partment. Mr.. Breese is known as a
gentleman Of respectable talents, and if
he do not make the paper an interesting
and useful one, il must be his own fault.
Not knowing from himself wha, course
Mr.. B. intends 10 pursue, we can only
say that, if with US, we hail him-if
against US, we will do as well as we may.
We had intended 10 say little more
on the subject OF Mr.. Randolph's speech
es, of which the Reporter charges US
with having published spurious Tor &C.
nuine specimens but as Mr.. Orr has
retired from the editorial chair, we think
it unnecessary to disturb his etium cum
dignitate, even in our own justification.
1t Is little remarkable, that while the
Rehorter is making these charges a.
galnst us, the opposition papers at and
near Washington-who ought to know
do not seem to question the correctness
OF these specimens Of Roanoke oratory.
Perhaps we may hereafter give Mr..
N lies account Of half hours spoutiug.
His testimony is decisive.

Athalf pas, seven this morning, we re-
ceived an extra Shipping Report, an
nouncing the arrival OF the Enterprise,
steam vessel, Capt. Johns,one, from
Rangoop, 18th inst. She brings the sa,
lisiactory intelligence of Peace zoith the
Burmese.
The John Bull having received the
intelligence Of her arrival a, o'clock,
has issued an extra, from which we ex-
tract The following:-
After the battles of the ID, Sd and
5'h, Sir Archibald Campbell moved on
TO Iatnsgoo, 100 miles in advance Of
Prone, through country fortified with
the strongest stockades, bu, which had
been deserted; the enemy had suffered
severe loss from the cholera, and the
ground was strewed with dead in groupes
OF 90 and 40. Immediately on the ar.
rival Of Sir Archibald at Ia'nagoo, he
was met by the Minister Of Z ,oloo, sent
expressly from Ava, to sue for peace,
and after several conferences this bonn
was granted TO him on the following
terms, Wig THE cession Of Msrgni,
Jauoy, Yea and Arracan to the Brush ;
Ava to receive a Resident, and al Ran
COON Consul-together with the pay
men, Of ono Crore Of Rupees (ten mil.
Iions.) The preliminary treaty was
granted the 50, and Is days were allow
ed for The ratification to arrive from
Ava.
"When the army advanced from
Prone, Sir James Brisbane, in the Diana,
moved up with the flotilla, and passed
several batteries, mounting Is or 90
guns, Of heavy calibre, without moIes,a-
ton, SO great was the dread of provoking
further vengeance.
Ellis Majesty's ship Champion left
Rangoon on The 10th inst. having on
board Capt. Snodgrass, with The des.
patches, but was no. seen by the Enter.
prize"

from the north are said 10 be Of war
like aspect. Admiral Greigh, the com
msnder in.chief OF the Russian naval for
ces, had been recalled to ST. Petersburg,
to report the actual condition OF the tor
ces under him, and to make the necessa'
ny preparations for putting TO sea. The
movements OF the two grand Russian ar
mics were said to be of remarkable ma
ture, having for their ultimate object
the concentration of the troops, for the
purpose of approaching with advantage
the provinces OF Bessarabia. Different
corps of cavalry had been reinforced,
and were to be joined BY the Hetmsn OF
the Cossacks, and be ready to commence
the campaign at the first intimation,
The Duke of Wellington and The Aus
trian Minister had urged every possible
argument to avert the storm. The Duke
had concluded his mission; and II had
been announced in Paris tina. he had left
ST. Petersburg, and was every moment
expected at Calais. The ST. Peters
burgh Gazette, of March IS. gives an
account of the closing funeral ceremo-
MES Of Alexander, in that city. The
crowd in the streets, as we'll as in the ca
thedral, was immense. The balconies
and windows of most of the houses were
hung with black, and even the roofs oil
some were covered in like manner. The
Emperor followed the hearse on foot, at
tended by the Grand Duke Michael,
the Prince of Orange, Prince William
of Prussia, sc. The inhabitants heard,
(says the Gazette,) with sensation
which it is impossible to describe, the
discharge of the artillery, and The three
volleys fred by the troops, announcing
that The earth had received into her boz
som the remains of him, who, when liv-
ing, was the noblest of her sons"
