We have subscribed Lory 750,000€, Bordeunx alone, for wounded and prisoners; and, by the by, how generous Holand has been for the same object- £25,000 It appears from the reports that it, háu bern' most useful, and that the distress is no great that the demand for relief great as is the supply, will be greater if the war last any longer.

Then the vines and olive trees lind been greatly injured by kail-stormą, so that they were all prepared nguinet bad weather. Not po this year.
