LETTER FROM RoBERT SCHUYLER
The N. Y. Tribune contains a letter
which purports to have been written by
Robert schuy ler, the absconding railroad
defaulter. The Tribune says: " 1t came
to us in his own handwriting, having
been received in the country by the last
steamer The reader will observe that
it bears no date, nor any indication of
the writer's present residence" The
letter is defence against certain charges
preferred against him at the recent
meeting OF the stockholders of the New
Haven Railroad. Like all rogues, he
tries hard to make it appear that be is
an injured man"

The news is scanty but in the highcs,

The Allies had met with serious

On the 18th of June tho French and
English respectively attacked the Mala.

repulscd with great slaughter.
The details could not be looked for

description were agitating the public
mind.
According to one account the British
loss alone was not short of 4 900 includ.

Contradictory rumors prevailed, and
it was thought that the above was some.

Immediately negotiated,
The greatest portion of the loss was
experienced in a ravine, where power.

There is reason to fear that the loss
has been great, but Lord Palmerston

The previous advices to the 18th state
that there had been hard firing on both
sides, bu! without any result of impor-

Vienna, confirms the report that an cx-
petition has been undertaken against
Perokop.
Gen. Polissicr is exceedingly savage
against the perpetual telegraph messages
the Emperor Napoleon sends him. He
is reported to have recently replied that
when anything occurs, he will let the
Emperor know but that he has not time
to act as telegraph operator. This, ac
cording to runor, accounts for the recent
absence of news in the Montenr.

having an advantage over Ketchum's,

ceptionable and excellent as to draft. and
cut a very fair swath. The committee
believe each Of these mowers to be valu-

preciate the merits Of the others, while
expressing this preference. All should
be tested under a greater variety of con.
ditlons and circumstances, and only such

was designed to show that all connection
