ThejCouucil of State tf Geneva
have decided against allowing a mon
ument to be erected to Rousseau.
They say no statutes have beetl e
reeled tu great men to whom Geneva
it indebted for its existence and pre
servation, but that the citizens have
raised monuments to them iu their
hearts; that these were more durable
and more suitable to a state like
theirs, where every thing ought to
call to mind the simplicity and mod

Every thing indicates that hostili
ties are on the point of commencing
between Russia and the Forte. A
private letter from Augsburg of the
8th of May. says, that at the date of
the. last news from Constantinople,
the Porte had not officially answered
M. de. Miuziaczky, but the first ver
val answer of the Ilcis EQVndi was
tWr known; and its tenor shows that
the Ottoman Ministry is not destitute
of address.
