NAPOLE0N's GUNBeAr FLEET ON

indications OF activity on well - on land.
The Baltic ports are directly mensced, and
Prussia has adopted the precaution OF remov-
ing all the lights, beacous, and buoys along the
coast. Her entire naval force consists OF three
frigates and two small vessels, all iroR-clad,

OF 10 sailing vessels, 32 sloops, and 2 gunbOats.
These would be q very small meal for the French

Cows STILL DYING.-Saturday night, San
day, and yesterday, some twelve or fifteen moro
cows died near the city, from a disease believed
TO have been contracted from Texas cattle,
recently here. SO far the disease appears TO be
confined TO the locality Of Daniels Hill aud
the Amherst side OF the river, near the Bridge.
Up 10 this about twenty cows have died within
the past three days, and we hear that nambers
OF others show symptoms OF having been at
tackled by the fatal epidemic. Remedies OF all
kinds have been tried by various persons, but
none has yet succeeded in arresting the rapid
course OF the disease The symptoms are
described as follows: The COW when attacked
ceases to give milk; the kidneys and stomach
stop their functions; spasmotic jerking of the
head is almost constant; the animal appears as
though choked, and IL wholly unable 70 swallow
either food or water. These symptoms coatiaue
