Amber in particular was carried from the Baltic to the Aegean. say much more about them than any others do. They say that offerings wrapped in straw are brought from the Hyperboreans to Scythia; when these have passed Scythia, each nation in turn receives them from its neighbors until they are carried to the Adriatic sea, which is the most westerly limit of their journey; from there, they are brought on to the south, the people of Dodona being the first Greeks to receive them. From Dodona they come down to the Melian gulf, and are carried across to Euboea, and one city sends them on to another until they come to Carystus; after this, Andros is left out of their journey, for Carystians carry them to Tenos, and Tenians to Delos. Thus (they say) these offerings come to Delos. But on the first journey, the Hyp

f the square would be found merely a little more retired, to the frontiers of a great power or to a sea. To be assured of the correctness of these ideas, it is sufficient to cast an eye over the theatre of the campaign of 1806 and 1807. The Baltic Sea, and the frontiers of Austrian Gallicia, formed the two faces Ab and Cd of the square. I think that it was very important to both the parties, not to allow themselves, to be thrown upon either of those obstacles. The configuration of the fr sort of temporary base; the front of operations was parallel to the Narew, from whence Napoleon departed, supporting himself on Sierock, Pultusk and Ostrolenka, to the end of manoeuvreing by his right, to throw the Russians upon Elbing and the Baltic Sea. In such cases the front of operations, if it should find the least point of support in its new direction, would produce the same advantage that we have pointed out in Article 18 for bases of operations perpendicular to those of the enemy.

Should the enemy, however, keep such a position that neither the manoeures against his center nor against his communications are possible, then it is necessary to resort to stratagems which shall induce him to make wrong movements, divide his troops, extend his line, etc. For instance, we may give our whole army such a position, or we may, before the commencement of the operations, place our army corps in such a manner, that they can act with the same facility against very distant points.

Neutrality. A movement in Europe, known as the Armed neutrality, threatened to seriously cripple the power of Great Britain and incidentally aid the Americans in their struggle for independence. It was a league of the leading nations of Europe against the pretensions of Great Britain as Mistress of the seas. It was conceived in the summer of 1778, when British cruisers seized American vessels in the Baltic Sea engaged in commerce with Russia. The latter nation was then assuming colossal proportions, and all the others courted the friendship of its empress, Catharine II., who was able and powerful. Great Britain tried to induce her to become an ally against France. Catharine coquetted a long time with King George, while her sympathies were with Sweden, Denmark, and Holland. Their neutral ships were continually interfered with by British sea-rovers, whose acts were justified by the British government. France had gained the good — will of the Northern powers by a proclamatio

The fine weather last week has again favored the farmers in completing their field work; but not withstanding this, and the caution observed by buyers, the French corn markets remain firm. The price of flour is well maintained in the Paris market. A deficiency of corn exists in Italy, and supplies from the Baltic Sea are impatiently awaiting at Leghorn.
