„ The Hussion Campaign.—Tim N. York
Uouimercial Advertiser contains svum- nb
servaiioi sby a Russian oHirer on the late
campaign, o l lgi 11 aiiv published in a supple
‘neut to the St. Peleisburgii Gazette;.’ it
: til a y he guessed jioni their appearance in
I dial journal that these remaik* have the
sanction of the court; and as they are cun*
form.'title in several particulars to the opi
nions we have heretofore ventured on die
s;,mt ‘ sul \R , <* r * “t 1 *y briefly notice some
of the conclusions of the writer, which
would fid some three or lour columns of
our paper.
Aware that it would be useless to preci
pitate her armies on a country where cvcrv
man is a soluier, and where the means of
subsistence were out of the question, Rus
sia took measures first ta occupy the Prin
cipalities. and then to capture two fortresses
(Varna and Sdistiia) which were indispen
sable to maintaining winter quarters. An
arniv oi 115,000 men, forming, after de-,
ciucting tbe useless bands, a mass of only
85,000 fighting men, was the force which
she brought to the ohtainment of these ob
jects. After calculating die number of
fortresses to be taken or masked, she could
arrive at the foot oi the Balkan with not
more than 40 000 men at most, with which
force Varna was to he taken, and an in
trenched camp of 40,000 Turks to be ob
served at Shunda. It is true, that leaving
50,000 men in observation between the
Balkan and Silistria. she might have col
leeted 50,000 in the direction of Pravadi,
and penetrated on Aldos, leaving Varna
and Shunda behind her; but the usefulness
of such a march has already been mention
ed besides the impossibility with the corps
left as a reserve of occupying six conquered
towns, guarding Moldavia and Wallachia,
carrying on hostilities with the numerous
garrisons on the right bank of the Danube,
i and finally, making head against the whole
I army of Hussein, entrenched up to the
teeth at Shunda.
A different plan was therefore adopted.
After the passage of the Danube, and when
tbe detached corps, being set at liberty by
j the fall of the places they had invested
; were re united, the army advanced to
Shunda. it was impossible from the posi
tion of this place, and from the condition of
the artillery, either to blockade or besiege
if. It was determined therefore, to observe
if, and thus paralyze the army of Hussein,
and meanwhile to reduce Vai na, and form
! the siege of Silistria, thus securing winter
! quarters between the Danube and tbe sea.
j The siege of the latter fortress is the only
put of the plan of the campaign j which,
from fortuitous circumstances, the emperor
lias been disappointed. Varna, however,
was taken, notwithstanding lire difficulties of
its situation and tlie excessive heats of the
| season; Vania, which the Turks consider
! ed, wkh reason, ns the bulwark of Rumtlia
and Constantinople, and which has never
been in foreign hands before. From this
place Russia may push forward on Bourgas,
besides securing a source of provision for
her army, which hitherto has depended
wholly on Odessa. It will be seen, there
fore, that we did not exaggerate the impor
tance of this fortress, when we said that its
value might he estimated by the obstinacy
of its attack and defence; and it appears,
100, ih it it opens a road on Constantinople.
Flms, ’ says the writer, ‘in less than
four months, this army, which reached us
at so unfavorable a season has invaded
throe bilge provinces; taken two places,
which hold the fust rank among the Tur
kish toinessess; and has planted the eagle
upon the ramparts of Brailoff Matchin,
Issakischi, Hirsova, Kustendji, Tonltcha;
and, lastly, of that famous Varna, which so
many writers had prophesied would prove
the tomb of its glory/ 7
“Nothing is wanting tr Russia but another
campaign, equally unfortunate, and her
Warners,, then masters of Silistria, Ruds
cbuck, and perhaps also of Shunda, will

Climate of the United Slates . —Amongst
a variety of other interesting matter, we find
in the article in the American Quarterly, on
Darby s View of the United States, some
remarks on their climate, and the circum
stances which cause ifs peculiaiities. The
climate of all North America has been a 1
subject of much speculation; and amidst
the many assertions and conjectures we
bear daily hazarded concerning its meliora
tion, it may be interesting to bear what one
who has expended much research on the
point (<s Mr. Du hy has evidently done,)
lias to say respecting it.
Thepi evidence of westerly winds in these
latitudis lias been mentioned by Humboldt
and others. This circumstance is the basis
of ail calculation as to climate in them, mo
dified, however, by certain others, such as
the vicinage of a sea, a mountain, or an
ocean current, or the peculiar exposure of a
country. The west side of Europe is moist
and nuld, because it is f Mined by these winds,
which come to it damped by the vapours of
the Atlantic, and tempered by the lower
and more uniform temperature of the ocean.
Bui as we travel east, the cold increases
fiwrn the winds blowing over a greater ex
tent of land, until w e encoprter, m the same
parallel of latitude, a temperature ten de
grees colder On this continent the same
effect is obser/able, the climate bring moist
and mild on the Pacific coast, from the
temperature of that ocean; becoming at
least ten degrees colder ns we recede from
it into the Mississippi vadey; and finally,
moderating a little on the Atlantic slope,
from the vicinity of the ocean and the gulf
stream. Tlrp climate being the joint result
of these fixed laws of the winds, and these
equally fixed exceptions, must he always
the same on an average of years*
or changes at least, have
been anticipated, however, from the felling
of the forests of the country. Mr. Darby
things that this circpmstfirice instead of
meliorating the climate, only subjects it to
greuter extremes of the beat'and cold,
f rests being a naltuuf fence fiuin the coU,
and serving to remain moisture. It may be
questioned, however, whether they do not
increase cold by keeping die surface cov
et ed with now v , which, fiom its colour,
absorbs less of the heat than the na
ked earth. The moisture of the climate
is still more likely to be lessened bv their
disappearance; for, as there will be no ac
cumulated ice nor spongy woods to afford a
gradual supply of water, the rains will run
off more rapidly as they fall. VVe may add
tint this will be more likely to occur in the
United Slates, where tall mountains do not,
as in Switzerland, retain their snows during
the greater part of the year. In that coun
try the streams are higher in summer than
in winter, because tbe mountain snows inch
in the former season. This state of things
may be remedied in part by the winds hav
ing a freer eexurse, and bringing tbe vapours
from a greater distance, A* present the
distribution of moisture is very equable
through the United Suites. Forty inches
a year fall in Pennsylvania, which is one
third more than falls in Europe; at New j
Orleans there falls nearly fifty inches. The
same spell of rain lias been known to ex
tend over eight hundred miles of our terri
tory. The distribution of beat is singular
ly uniform, being the same in August, or
midsummer, throughout the entire country.
The difference between a southern and
northern summer consists in the duration 7
not in the intensity. In point of salubrity,
we shaji gain by the gradual draining of
swamps a;jd marshes.
The picture of our climate given in the
succeeding extract from the review, how
ever, it may relieve us from the apprehen
sion of starving, will seep) to be somewhat
couleur dp rose to such as swoHt or shivtr
under the recollection of our extremes of
temperature. Tjje heal which is very ge
nial to cucumbers and melons, roasts the
body and dries the brain; and for our part,
however, glad we might be to possess an
estate winch grow (lie precious productions
of the tropics, we should choose to have
for our special residence sorpe corner in a
cool and moist climate, where t)m turf
does not turn brown and crisp, under the
fiery sun, and where a man may look out
of the window at noon without getting a
fever.
‘‘Thu heat often oppresses us by its in
tensity; but insures to us the richest variety
of fruits, vegetables, aud agricultural pro
ductions; and enables us to cultivate nearly
the same grain, garden aiid orchard plants,
throughout the whole extent. This beat
does more; it seems absolutely to preclude
all idea of suffering by famine, or scarcity
from the failure of our provision crops;
because it enables us to vary our culture
through all the varieties of the grains, roots,
huits, and vegetables; aud what is still
more our long and genial summer enables
us to have two distinct crops of grain in the
same season;—our winter, or spring crops,
of wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet; and our
fall crops of maize, Bo distinct in time and
season are they, that if excessive rains, or
drought, injure our spring crops, we know
it in time to count upon mid enlarge our fall
crop, to meet the approaching event, and
vice versa, for we have ascertained by long
experience, that a drought, or an excess of
rain, does not affect both the spring and fall
of the same year; if one season be had, the
other is almost sure to be good. In the
north of Europe the case is different; they
have but one, which is a spring crop; an
access of moisnro often injures it, and
scarcity and suffering is the consequence.
This often happened before their active
commerce and great facility of intercom
munication enabled them to bring the sur
plus of one district to relieve the wants of
another; and before they cultivated to
much extent the Irish potutoe, which they
now’ depend on, and through it often re
lieve fho shortness of a grain crop. It is
very important for a country to be exempt
from dearths; not onlv can it then redouble
. . , *
Us population and have its enjoyment nil
insured; but the population will be more
orderly and more moral. Most of those
political disorders and those immoral acts
which affect a whole people, result from
the desperation into which they are plunged
by faruiner and scarcities.'*

Cotton. —ln Long Staple Cotton, the transac
tions of the week were very limited; the little done
was mostly in Maines and Santees, at about old
rates, which we continue, viz. Sea Islands, 20 a
25; Stained do. 10 a 13; and Maines and Santees,
17 al9 cts. The Upland Market was also rather
inactive; the sales, though at old rates, were diffi
cult to be effected. The difficulty in money nego
tiations, scarcity of vessels here, and probably
heavy losses on previous shipments, make purcha
sers cautious in their operations. We continue
the old range of 8 a 9 3-4, for inferior to common
prime, and 10 a 10 1-2 for very choice, favourite
marks, and in square bales; principal sales have
been made at 8 1-2 for middling, to 8 34, and 9
cents for good to very good lots; prime and very
choice is scarce and in fair demand, while inferior
is dull. The Liverpool accounts to 3d February,
per Sarah Caroline, had no other effect on this
market, than perhaps preventing a further decline
in prices.
Rice. —During the week, the middle qualities of
Rice acre in better demand, and a fair business in
all qualities was done at old rates; prime continues
scarce. We quote, prime, Js>3 a 3 J-4; iuferior to

in three cargoes, all from North Carolina, which
sold at 43 a4l cents There have been no sales
lately of prime white Maryland, therefore our
highest quotations is only conjectured We quote
43 a46 cents. A cargo of GOO bundles Portsmouth
May was sold on Friday at 87 12, the quality was
very prime; we therefore advance our quotations
12 1-2 cents the 100 lb*.

two lots of New Orleans Sugar was offereefat

the trade; prices remiin th<? same as at our last.
A lot of 60 hhds. Sf. Salvador Molasses, of good
