FOREIGN MTELLiGENCE. SEMLIN, MAY r 4. Authentic advices from Set Via have brought the foll , swing particulars of the further operations of the army commanded by the General in Chid, Czerni Ge rtes : While Czerni Georges purfued, on the road to Sophia, the advanced l'urkifli guard, which he de fated on the 2d, the column of soca men which he left behind him at Niffa, and which was reinfroced by 2000 more, invetted the place, and eoriftrueed redoubt , , in tl:e erettion of which the inhabitant of the neighbouri: s villages were empliyed. When the works were completed, Mill je-Petrowioh, com manding this Sercian corps, placed nineteen pieces of cannon and forne mortars on them. On the 3d, in the morning, the Servians begar to fire upon the town : the Turks anfwered it vignronfly. At two o'clock the garrifon made a fortie at feveral points, and attacked the redoubts. The Serviarts (offered the Turks to approach within zoo paces of the bat jerks: they then began fo vigorous a difcharge o artillery and mufketry on them, that they were obli ged to retreat. On the 4th, about fix in the evenirg, boo Turks made a filth fortie, but the Servian ca. ',airy coming up immediately, charged them fo vi gotoufly, that they were again obliged to retreat The cannonade was kept up, in the mean time, with great vivacity on both fides. The General in Chid Czerni Georges having ad vanced, as we before raid, towards Sophia, in purfuit of the enemy's advanced guard, arrived, on the mor. ring of the 6th of April, near Dragoman He di sided his army into three columns, with the inten tion of taking Sophia by main force; to march after wards to Lowack, come upon the rear of the Turk ifh army, and effe& a junction with the Ruffians, who had already taken poll at Rudfchuk. On the evening of the 6th, he learned that the Ottoman ar my of ieretve, under the command of Ifmail Pacha, march: el on the ad from Philippoli ; that it had ad vanced towards Sophia, and was joined by the ad vanced guard. On the 7th, in the morning, Czerni Georges reconnoitred hi perfon, for the purpofe of afcertaining the force and pofition of the enemy. Convinced of their ftiperi2rity, he determined to re treat, and made preparations for that purpofe. At eleven at night he was informed by his (pies that the Turkifh army, mow Ruing, was to march next morning, at day-break, in feven columns, to attack him. Three columns were to advance towards So phia, two others towards Iklitza, and two towards Saribrad, for the purpofe of turning theServian army. Czerni Georges alto received intelligence from Me lenko Stoik, apprising him that he could not advance towards Widdin to luppnrt him. The General in Chief, therefore, began his march, with all his troops, divided into five columns. On the Bth, he arrived at Xerta, and after halting for Come time, he continued his route by kiifforatz towards Bagno. In the mean time, the Turklik General advanced, at day break ca the 7th, with his whole army, towards the patina of the Servians; but what was his fur- when he 'dircovetcd that the latter had aban doned their camp. He ;pliantly difpatchcd all his cavalry in purfuit of them, and followed with the remainder of the army. Notivithfianding all the ex • ertions of the Turks. they were not able to come up with the Servians. On the tub, in the evening, Czerni . Georges arrived at Bagno. He canted his troops to take an gdvantageous poqtion, between Alexinza and Nita, upon a line of pretty good ex tent. Ifmail Pacha, with his slaty, arrived on the 13th, in the afternriiin. near Manna. In the even ing, there were revere, (mart ficirmithes bytween-the Servian corps whieh attacked NW - a, and the Tarki& cavalry. May General in Chief, Czerni Georg es, having bcgtm his r f tfisaucon the yth 'of April, ordired Petrowick, commanding the corps xlftai • felted Mira, to Ord* the plice doter, mid to make Abe grealett exertions to obtain pafre Most - of it. • He s 3 i t er e inge, eanipd fosne heavy artillery to be brought trnro Kurtrinfrad,a4 on the 10, ia the morning, Ile titian n rile*** C*Toridf rid bombardment al4► cite vnti,?* 1 % 4 §rf flag PP until the • ' evening of the t 3th, and a great finisher of hoafd were deßroyed and damaged. The approach of the Terkifh army, however, under Ifmail Pacha, com pelled Czerni to change his plan. He ordered Mil lote Petrowich inftantly to raile the fiege, deftroy all the redoubts which he had thrown up about it, and to fall back towarks Barkul, Thefe orders were carried into execution on the night of the 13th, and Milloje Petrowich effected a jundion on the lON with the divifion of the Commander Obradowick, who was encamped on the left of the Niew. Czerni Georges then applied himfelf to prevent the junaion of the army of Ifmail Pacha with the corps of Ku fanzi Ali. By the advice of the commander of the infantry, he did not allow the Ertl time to take a po fition ; and on the 14th, at day break, he attacked it at three points between Schinova and Mitroviza.— After a battle, which lafted till one in the afternoon, the Ottoman troops were obliged to retreat. A column of 6eoo men was cut off, and almoß entirely deftroyed. The lofs on both fides in killed, woun ded, and prifoners, was about 7000 men. The Ser. vians took feveral pieces of cannon, two Rand of colours, and thirty ammunition waggons. They owe their fuccefs on this day principally to the rapid and Ready movements of their army. Further advices from Semendria fay, that Ifmail Pacha withdrew towards Belgraica, and that he has taken a pofition extending from Widdin towards Niffa. •Czerni Georges had been joined by the corps of Melenko Stoik, which was near Gladowa. Milloje Petrowich alfo joined him with the corps under his orders. From the 25th to the 3oth of April, the armies made different movements, and every thing announced that an engagement would loon take place. Kufanai Ali was Hill behind Gladowa with 10,000 men, without being able to effed a juoaion with Ifmail TRIESTE, MAY is Lettersfrom Smyrna announce, that the Ruffians, after taking the ifland of Tenedos, took poffeffinn alfo of Stalimene, or Lemnos. It was feared that they would alfo occupy the ifland of Metelino, which commands the harbour of Smyrna. Some Ruffian men of war had already been to reconnoitre it. All the Britifh properly at Smyrna was cortfifcated. ST. PETERSI3URGH, MAY 9. The Gazette of this city contains a lilt of 128 offs cers who were killed at the battle of Eylan.

When the Counfel for the profecution had gone through their cafe, Mr. Workman left it to the Jury, without adducing any evidence, or offering any obferva,ions in his defence. The Jury immediately found a verdin of Not Guilty. A multitude of malicious publications appeared againfl Mr. Workman, after his acquittal, but they have returned to plague the inventors—:rod ferved to illullratc and to d 3 honour to Mr. Wu: kman's charaSer. _ _ - .

L'AIP, of his Britannic Majefly's !hip the Driver, is on many accounts worthy of the ferious confideration of the American people:—Firft, as a proof, if any were wanting, of the determination of the prefent Britifh Cabinet with raped to America ; next, as a comment upon the conduit of the Executive of this country; thirdly, as it opens a profpeilive view to a feries of future affirBing events; and, hilly, as a fymptom of the unqualified contempt into which the patty now in power have brought this once great and refpedled, becaufe refpeitable, nation. What appears molt extraordinary is, that Mr. Jef. ferfon fhould not all this time have caught a momen tary glimmering of the end, which, as certainly as effeit follows caufe, mutt have refulted from his and his party's conduit to Great Britain. While he very prifoundly lot all his hopes, and what is worfe, his fears reft upon Bonaparte, and fat comfortably down with Monfieur TURA/Au, as GAxAOANTUA fat with 1 his dog, (be lied the dog': tail, and the dog !crotched bit I elbow, lays R•asLats), he never refleited upon the poffibility that honett John Bull, good natured as he is, might be made angry; but indulged in every pe tulance to him, to pleafe his high and mighty friend, the Whiikert.

In a preceding colume we have given Come eztraas from the Courier du Bar RUA to the toth infiant, re• lative to the movements of the Servian and Turkifit armies. It will be fern from it, that the war has put on quite a different afpea there from what the French Official Paper would have us fuppofe. The affairs of the Servians are not quite fo defperate as they are reprefented in the lifouiteur. The fituation of Mott L IMN, and the Ruffians, we are in hopes, will prove not to be worfe than that of their Allies. The re treat from the Danube was abfolutely neceCary on his part. The principal Turkiffi army, inilead cf proceeding to attack him, marched towards Ifmail, which was far in the rear of. one of his wings. Had they reached that point, the (afar of the whole of Mtcnsison's corps would have been endangeted.— We believe it will be proved, that it was not from fear or weaknefs that he retired, but for the porpofe of giving battle to the enemy, when he could do fo with advantage. BUENOS AYRES. The George, arrived in the Clyde in 59 days, has brought a New York Paper of Co late a date as the 25th of May, which contains the following intelli gence :.°•• New Yotx, MAY 2g.—The fchooner Charlotte, CALDWELL, arrived here from Jamaica, fpoke on the 12th May, off Matanzas, the brig 1 roy, tiezutY,of New York, from the River Plate for Havanna, with a cargo of junk beef; informed him, that Buenos Ayres had been recaptured by the Briar, and that they had alfo taken Monte Video." Matanzas is on the North fide of Cuba, on the freight of Florida. A velTel from the River Plate, fpoken w•itb i■ that latitude, on the tath of May, might have brooght much later news than any which we have received dire& from the River Plate. We have received a feries of New York pipers to the 23d lall, inclutive. The affair of the DRIVER, at Char, leaon, has toured all the partpfpi,it in America, Inn we are happy to find, that fome of the New York Ediicni have, with great candour, acknowledged, that the irritating tone of Captain Lovs's anfwer is palliated, if not jullificd, by the inhofpitable treat ment which he had received. The DRIVtI was Hill in Chatleficin Roads, on the 6th May. Captain Evsas-rr, whole gallant condo& at the homing of Monte Viieo has been fo juilly the fuhjed of admiration, has, we underhand, been appointed Aid de Camp to his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND.

A letter has been received from a Captain of the zoth Dragoons, dated Barcelona, in Sicily, the 14th of April lafi, at which time the defeat of our troops in Egypt was not known there. He mentions that General FRASIR had written to General Fox for a reinforcement, for the purpofe of advancing to Cairo, and that three regiments were appointed to fail im• mediately, and that the zoth Dragoons were in ex peaation of going alfo. We are lorry to fay that he hates the Opthalmia to be a very prevalent com plaint there, and that the zoth foot had nearly half their men grated with it, and that that fine regiment the szd, was alfo very unhealthy, and that it was apprehended - they would find the Plague in Egypt, as the feafon was juts at hand when it makes its appearance there. On Thurfday a Cabinet Council was held at the Duke of PORTLAND'S haute.
