Lnltst from Europe. — The packet ship Canada, »r-

 ust 30th The reports of the capture of the Turkish 

 garrison at Ipsara, of the destruction of the Turkish 

 fleet, and of the Egyptians at Cassas are probably much 

 exaggerated, but it seems probable that the Greeks 

 must have gained some advantage. — Dai,lj/Advtrtiser.

 most destructive freshets known in it for the lastthir- 

 ty years.

SINGULAR CASK OF SUSPENDED ANIMATIO.N' 

 A Kuropean Medical .lournal relates the IVdlowina; 

 case, CLitnmunicated by M. Bourquet, luad surgi'on 

 to the ho.spilals of lii ziers ; " I w"is called" says he, 

 " lo vi-iit a boy nearly eigbtyears old, 'Aho exliibitetl 

 the following svmptonis. As soim as the sun appears 

 npon the horizon, I was lold he die^ and at sunset he 

 resiiscilales. I wished lo st e this myself, and in coii- 

 sequ«nce, I remained with him mitil d oVlock in the 

 moaning. Ke slejtt very lr;inquilly. 1 wak( d him, 

 mad»- him speak, and amused him until the sun begnn 

 to rise. It wa« in wint( r. The y^ung invalid, who 

 ^\as up to that moment, verv gay. then said to me — 

 Now, Sir, the sickness sieze- me ; and he lay down 

 upon the bed, when I saw hiin wearin» all the ap- 

 pearance of death. Ifi- bad no sensible respiration, 

 no pulse, no motion of the heart, no ft eling even 

 though Ihe child was pricked. The body remained 

 tx'^eal^■lv cold 'nr nt least two hours, ai'ti r which Uit: 

 cold diminished. witho?it, hc^wever ceasing entirely, 

 and the onlv apparent sign of life was a convulsive 

 movement of the right eye-'id. 1 forcibly raised one 

 of the arms, and it remained in the upright position ; 

 one of the legs, also ; the members were like soft 

 wax that takes every imr'ressir.n. He remained thus 

 without swallowing, till the sun had disappeared 

 from the horizon, when he recovered his senses by 

 degrees, and rose without any sympton that could 

 indicate his having been ill. This singular patient 

 had already had ten similar paroxysms. His cure 

 was offtcted by portions of kina and sublimate zinc."

MADRID, AUG. 11.— The Madrid Gazette publish- 

 ed yesterday the royal Ordonuance suppressing, in all 

 his dominions in Europe and .America., the societies 

 of freemasons, communeros,.and all other secret soci- 

 eties of whatever denomination. — These secret socie- 

 ties, says the preamble, have been ascertained to be 

 the principal agents in the revolutions which have 

 broken out in so deplor.able a manner in Spain and A- 

 mcrica.— All who shall continue to meet secretly un- 

 der whatever pretext, shall be prosecuted conforma- 

 bly to the laws of the kingdom, SiSguilli/ of treason, 

 human aiid divine. 



It has been computed that there are now in Ger- 

 many nearly or quite 5,000,000 dilTerent kinds of 

 books. In America the number is estimated lo be 

 halfa million. 



GIBRALTER, AUG. 13. — There is every reason to be- 

 lieve that a simultaneous struggle has been planned 

 throughout Spain, and if in ether quarters they have 

 been as successful as at Tariffa, " God lake goorf I.'ing 

 Edward lo his mercy.'''' The constitutionalists have 

 been completely successful there— a strong body of 

 French marched from Cadis to attack tha.n — they 

 suffered them to advance to the second g.Ue vhca 

 they opened a destructive fire upon them and routed 

 them in every direction: the French commander is 

 fimong the killed — Algesiras is crowded with the 

 wounded French of that expedition. Even the wo- 

 ««e.i» took au active part agaiust the FreucJi, 



The reign of (he Kn)peror Alexander has been re- 

 markable among other things for the progress of lite- 

 rature among the Russians. Prior to 1817, there had 

 been only 1000 works printed in Russia, about 

 equal to the number which appears every year at 

 the Leipsic fair. In 18211, there were in the Library 

 of the Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg 3000 

 national works, among which were 150 romances. 

 At present the number of these national productions 

 amounts to 8000. At Moscow there are nine reading 

 societies, and ten printing-houses. At Petersburg 

 there are seven of ihe former and five of the latter. 

 In Dorpal, Revel, and Charkow, there is in each a 

 reading society and a printing press, and there are 

 nine -type fonnderies in the Empire. Alexander is 

 the enlightened protector of literary men, and reads 

 with attention every thing relative to the politics, re- 

 ligion, history, statistics, and geography. His own 

 room has the appearance of belonging to a savant by 

 profession. He is very often there by six in the 

 morning ; he writes several languages with precision 

 and elegance ; and writes on important topics. He 

 is well acquainted with the nahtral history of his vast 

 F.jipire. If a Russian Journal should speak of" the 

 useless class of men of letters," public contempt would 

 immediately revenge them ; and if M. SchisckntT, 

 Minister of the public Instruction, knew, that his 

 subaltern dared lo insult literary and scientific men 

 he would request him immediately to return for some 

 months to College. Journal de.': Debals.
