Now, dates are troublesome things. The French
uohttem OF the 4th of June last announced that the
Empresss Eugenia had attained her thirty-second
year on the preceding day, and had received the
congratulations of her friends on the occasion. Ac
cordIng to the official Monitepr, therefore the En-
press Eugenla was born on the Sd of June, 1926,
ana according to the undispued testimony of regist
ers and other documentary evidence her father died
on october 30, 1923, from the effects of a fall from
his horse. These things doubtless admit of expIa-
nation, but none has yet been given. Indeed, the
french Gazette de TriJUndur of September 81 1881,
winch contains the rerJam report of this cele
ore, has been torcibly abstracted by Imperial ukase
from the files of that journal which are kept for
reference in the reading rooms.
AFFAIRS IN RUSSIA.
THE EMANCIPATION MOvEMENT-ARMY REFORM.
The st. Petersburg Gazette contains two ukases
one relating to the peasants belonging to the apan-
ages assigned to the princes of the reignng family
the management of which is conided in Russia to a
special ministry, by which the peasants receive
several prerogatives that render them almost free
men, They can now purchase and sell landed pro-
perty on their own account, while hitherto they
nave only been able to buy and sell in the name
and thr@gh the agency of the administration of
apanages. These peasants can, moreover, hence
forth carry on civil prosecutions without the assis-
tance of the procureur of the apanages, whose
interference will for the future be at the will of the
plaintiffs. Lastly, the peasants have the power of
dlsposing of their property by WILL and have the
power OF entering into the classes of traders and
6urgesses in consequence of the suppression of the
dues hitherto paid to the administration of the
apanages, which amounted to from 600 to 1900
roubles, but which now replaced by payment
OF from fifteen to forty roubles to the fund for dis
chaSeu sotulers belonging to the class OF peasants
Imperial rcscripts have been sent to the mobiles of
the governments of Orenburg and Kaouga, grant
ting them permission to form emancipation com
mittees in those provinces.
By another ukase the Emperor suppresses the
committee of military censorship and transfers its
functions to the civil There is henceforth to
be person appointed by the Minister of War, to
whom the civil censors will communicate the manu-
scripts of military works. A report will be made
on the merit of each and the final decision on them
will come from the Minister of Public Instruction.
LATER FROM PORTO RICO.
Wehave accounts from Mayaguez Porto Rico, to
the 3lst ut. The island was remarkably healthy
for the season. A company had been formed at St.
Johns to run the French steamer Monte Crsto as
a packet round the island, and her arrival on her
first trip daily looked for at Mayaguez. There
was little or nothing doing in the sugar market for
want of produce to operate in, there remaining but
100 hogsheads to conclude the crop. The prices
paid for parcels had been at advance last
quotations, and as high So had been reached for
sugar of only second quality, which, however, was
the best in market The same was the case at the
other ports of the island and at Ponce under date
of 30th ut, high S. 25 had been paid for prime
lots. The reports from the island now reach about
81, 900 hhdS, and it is thought the crop will not
ceed $4,000 hhds. Molasses remained without alte
ration, say from Sl4 to SIS Last freights paid for
