J ie.w of Europe.—The recent arrivals
ironi Kuionc leave us still in doubt as to
llic result of the ptMuliri;^ controversy bc-
twec’i Kussia and the I*oric. Our private
letters represent it as hardly possi'jli' that
M'ar should not ensue between these two
powers. Russia had received an evasive
reply to her uUiniatum even before the
fall of Missolonghi, and that event will
not lend to dirnini^ih the insolcnce of the
OttoYnans. No certain result of the
Duke of \V e!lini;ton’s mission to St. Pe-
lorsburgli had transpired j but it seems
to be pretty plainly indicated, thai if his
purj)oses were to interpose belwoen Rus
sia and TiN'key, he did not succeed. It
is, tiowever, thq o|)inion of some, that
such was not liis object ; but, on the con
trary, that his journey was coiniected
with a policy which would make Eng
land and Russia to be acting in concert
for the liberation of Greece. We can
rather desire, than believe, with our pres
ent information, that such is tiie fact.
In England, order was almost restored.
The large subscrij)liofis which had been
tnade and were still making for the relief
of the distressed nianufacturer.s, the cer
tain j)assage of the laws adinitting ware-
iioused and ioieign corn, (all the fornier
tiow in bond, and to the extent, il minis-
U rs think fit, of 4,000,OOU bushels more
from abroad) and above all, the gi-eat
military force cenceutrated in .uid arouml
the disturbed districts, had tended (o
itanquilize and over-ane the workii.j^
classes, ainou!; whom the bell\. and not

NATIONAL WOHK.
A National work is in progress respec
ting the North American Indians,—
“ p'I’icipally,” the lion. Albert Gallatin,
the first projector of the work says, “as
relates to their languages, with a view,
to a betlM- understanding of their afiini-
ties and their various dialect.?, their res
pective grammars, and the structure of
their language generally.” Mr. tJallatin’s
recent appointment induced him to give
up his work into the hands ofCiovernment;
and the Secretary of War, with the ap
probation of the 1^’csident, has taken
measuies to accomplish this literary en
terprise. “'I'o preserve the Indian Lan
guages,’* says Mr. Ci. “is a duty, lo pub
lish the information, is a kind of debt,
due by the United Stales to the scieniiilc
world ; anti which has long been expect
ed of them.” The Secretai-y of War says,
that this National Work will have res
pect to “the Etymology, or the vocabu
lary of the several languages or dialects,
atid their (Grammars, or structure.”
’1 he subscrilier, having been refjuested
by Mr Ciallatiu, and recently by the Sc-
cietary of War, to subserve this objeei,
as it respects the (.’atauba Indians, wouhl
not w ish to shrink from an undertaking
so laudable. Yet he would n adily trans
fer the business into other hands, if his
vacant hours will not be btiflieient to ex
ecute it well. He has not yet asc-rtaiiied,
how long a lime would be allowed him

Sheep Shearing Festival.—On Wednes
day last Henry Watson, Esq. of Kast
Witidsor, fiiiished shearing his fl.r k,
consisting of upwards of 900 sheej). On
this occasion Mr. ^Vatson invited a par
ty of about sixty gentlemen to dine vvitli
him, fifty of vvhotn attended. They con
sisted of the President and most of the
•jfTicer.s of the ILu tford County AgricuU
lural Society, respei table manufaciurers
and agriculturists from difl'erent parts
of the Slate, and from Massachusetts,
and others friendly to the cause of Inter
nal Improvements. This being the first
festival of the kind ever celebrated in
Conuixticut, it was the occasion of great
interest :unl the lughest enjoyment to the
party. Some of the guests had never beJ
fore vvrtnessed the operation of Jkccing a
sheep, and indeed, knew litth* ol the dif-
f‘rence !)etween the .SVu'oJi.v, Mvriim, Soul/6
Dou'ns, and Cross reals; hei e, sucn had

judges decided beiween the qualiiies of
(iifl' rent fleeces, and for what reasons
one Heece would be pn-ferred by the
manufacturer to another, and why it is
not fineness only which constitutes the
