These infernal machines are formed of tin tnbes, about two feet long and' three inches thick, filled with combustibles and balls.— They cannot be approached without the greatest danger. The cold has within these few days set in with great severity, and as we can have no communica tion on the sea side, good fire-wood has risen from 100 to 130 guilders the klaften. We have therefore the prospect of x dreadful winter before us. Ncv. 26.—0 n the entrance of the French into this town, all colonial produce has been sequestrated.— It is now, along with all the English property, re moved to Venice. We are therefore now placed in the singular situation of looking to other quarters of the Continent for sugar and coffee to supply the wants of this town. Nov. 27.—The English still cruize in sight of Trieste ; they are six or eight sail strong. They have not, however, repeated their cruel attempt tq set fire to our unfortunate town by the infernal Cow i greve's rockets. It was between eight and nine on the evening of tas, 22d, when about 200 of these hellish machines seem' directed against Trieste. Most of them, however, fell in the sea, and only five or six reached the most; advanced houses of the town, where they did no ma terial damage. Some persons were slightly Wound ed, but the terror was general, as it was not at first easy to conjecture how the terrible scene would end. It was remarked, that most of the rockets appeared to be directed against the Russian ships at anchor in the inner harbour.. They, however, did not reach these vessels. The French artillery kept up a tre mendous fire of 24 and 36-pounders from the castle and the batteries on the mole, and doubtless prevented the English from approaching nearer to the town.

The plan for removing the merchantnhen in Cronstadt, loaded for neutral ports, has, on account of the difficulty of the execution, been given np. The Russian frigate Pollax has beer. wrecked in a storm off Sweaberg. The harvest in the government of St. Petersburgh has been more productive titian fur these many years past. The follow;ng military details are published in a Supplement to the Court Gatitte . .• When. the Commander in Chief was informed, on the 9th of Octol)er, by General Platow, that the Turkish troops, detached by the Grand inzier, under the command of the ?acha of Aleppo, a Pacha of three tails, were approaching our catnp, he imme clia:ely proceeded towards them, having previously o dered nine battalions of infantry to advance with all expedition in the same direction. " The enemy were posted in the villages about Tatariza, situated in a valley on the bank of , the Da nube, and defended by batteries and entrenchments The Commander in Chief resolved to attack the enemy early in the morning of the 10th. " The action commenced by a cannonade in the centre, which lasted five hours. The Commander in Chief then ordered the sharp shooters, who formed squares of infintry, accompanying the cavalry, to advance. The Turks, upon this, soon began to fall back a little; and Major-General 133chrnetew, by a hold movement, and a severe attack ,with his square, forced the enemy to betake to a real retreat. At the same time, the regiment of White Hussars, under the command of Colonel Lenskoi, and the Fletm in's regiment of the Don corps, under the command of Major General Count Stagocow, rushed forth from the centre, v:ith the greatest rapidity and courage on the enemy, and drove them from the heights of which they had possession. The infantry took the enemy's batter:es. • PARTS, DEC. On the night between the 16 , n and .17th ult. forty ships, bound to the Southward, sailed from Brest.— Next night, from forty to fifty more stood towards the coast of Brittany. On the 29th, the whole con voy, of about eighty ships strong, directed its course to the Southward. Since the 20th, the passage of the Isle of Aix has been blockaded as formerly by the enemy.

ISt. Consols for acc. 70/1 We have this morning been favoured with letters from New South Wales, of as late a date as the Ist of August last, the contents of which are interesting. The Public will recollect, that some time ago it had been found expedient by Major JolissroN, Com mandant of the New South Wales Corps, at Sydney, and others, to arrest Governor &tun, and. suspend him from his functions, as Captain-Lleneral and Go vernor-in-Chief. On the 81st of December, 1808, his Majesty's skip_ PORPOISE, Captain KENT, arrived at Port Jack son, from Van Diemen's Land, where she had been with provisions and stores for the relief of the Set dement there, and for the purpose of bringing op Colonel P.trreasoN, the Lieutenant-Governor, who arrived in her, and who immediately took upon him the government of the territory ; and, conceiving it absolutely necessary to send Governor Bumf to Eng land, he intended hiring the ship Admiral Gambier, for that service ; which ship was then at PortJackson ;l but Governor BLIGII having stated a wish to be sent " In the mean time, a considerable part of the enemy's force advanced through woods upon orr left flank, and attacked the square under the com mand of Adjutant General Prince Trubezkoi. The Commander i, Chief ordered the square under the command of Colonel Truhnikow to prgcced to this quarter ; but before it arrived, Prince Trusbezkoi's yagel s, assisted by the cavalry under the command of Major Central Pahlen, had already had the good fortune to repute tic enemy. In this manner were the Turks compelled to retreat to their entrenchments after they had lust 6(() men killed, DX) prisoners, and 16 standards. Our loss was about b 0 killed, and 20) wounded. " While this was passing near the village of Ta-1 tariza, the Turks, :o the number of 3000 men, in in fantry and cavalry, made a sortie from the village of Silistria. They made an attack un two squadrons of Olwiopolish Hussars and a battalion of the Peters-1 burgh dragoons, which were posted on the heights, and which were supported by a bairalion of the 13th gagers, and a battalion of the Fanagorish grenadiers. This detachment, which was under the command of Major General Cmint Monteftiel, drew up in order of battle, and drive back the Turks, by sending out the sharp shooters and flanking corps against them. " When the action began, the right wing of Gen. Bulatow's corps had arrived. The Turks bought forward a piece of artillery, and even becan to fire, but were driven back. lit last General litilatow or dered the y age! s to advance upon the left, and the -Uhlans upon the right flanks of the enemy. The sharp shooters and Bankers threw themselves into the gardens, and not only dislodged the enemy from the woods and the marshes, but drove them with great. loss into the town. " Thus terminated this action, which lasted eight hours, and disappointed the views of the enemy.— During tlse whole of the action there were on our aide onli twO privates killed, and one officer and 60 pri vates wmande4." . ---~- -- K7mfaci .

Thii Proclamation drew forth another from Colo nel PATTiaiON. The Proclamation of Colonel PATZ*Ww it dated February 4th, 1869. It states that whereas an Agree- ' meat had been entered into between Governor Buou and Colonel Parzasom, of the Ikdlowing tenor : 414 That Lieutenant Governor Bums will embark with his family on board the Poacursoa, on the 20th inst.. and will put to sea as soon after as the wind and weather will permit : 44 That Weill proceed to England with the utmost dispatch, and that he Al neither touch at nor return to goy part of this territory until be shall have re ceived his Manarir's instructions, or those' of his Ministers I H That - he will not, in any manner, or under auy pre tence whatever, while be remains in this Colony, in terfere in the governance 9r aifairs.sbersof ands 4 , That he will not throw anyimpedinsent in the way of the Poarcnsa being eqnippedosid proceeding with him on her voyage at the stipulated time." After stating that Governor 'Bums bad committed a breach of the above Articles, the Proclamation, which is dated the I9th March last, prohibits all cor respondence and communication with the late Go vernor or any of his family, friends. or associates, from that time. On the 17th of March, Governor BLIGH weighed anchor, and left the heads of Port Jackson, as every person on board supposed, for England ; but, to tlkeir astonishment, he kept the Pilot on board. The wind being southerly, drove the vessel to the northward. When the wind shifted, he ran up as far as Port Jack son, as he said, to land the pilot ; on his arrival there he still kept his course along the hind, and said he would run as far as Cape Howe, to ascertain the cor rectness of his time-pieces, previous to sailing for. England ; but he still kept :shaping his course to the south card, and ran into the river Derwent, where he a . ..chored. He has since that period remained about the out-ports or settlements, and when these letters came away, which was the Ist of August, the POIt• POISE was lying in Storm Bay Passage. Messrs. PALMIER and Ham have been tried before a criminal Court, for distributing Governor BLIGNI'S Proclamation, and sentenced to imprisonment. Colonel 1114Qtreatus, of the 73d regiment, the new Governor, has doubtless arrived in New South Wales and therefore Governor BLIGII may be hourly =- peered home, when a strict investigation of his ems duct will takeplace, and the result of this tee-- nary.business be fully known.
