The Russians are now placed in a situation of great difficulty in Turkey ; for after so many re ♦erses and losses, they are not capable of meeting, with any effect, the determined spirit which they will shortly hive to bncounter in. the unsubdued Turks, who are determined to push the campaign, which the Russians, for prudential reasons, are anxious to close. The letters from Vienna, received in Paris on Tuesday, express a confident hope that the invaders will be obliged to pass the Pruth, whilst it is deemed impossible that ;Ora can hold oat against the efforts about to be made by the GRAiID VIZIIIR for its re-capture. To judge from the (rulers and counter-orders trans• mined to Toulon, it would appear as if a great deal of indecision prevailed in the French Cabinet respecting the affairs of Greece, and a •ariety of reports respecting the sepedition is prevalent in the Paris Journals. In one place we find it stated that the object of the arma• ment having been accomplished, the troops are about to•retutn; while in another we read of the embarka tion of reinf •rcements to render it more efficient.— At one time we are told th.t it is not to pass the Isth mus of Corinth; at another, that it will proceed to liberate Athens and the surrrounding districts from tho l Turkish yoke. The whole territory within the limits understood B r Greece in the treaty of the 6th of Joiy s is said by one party to be already modeled indepese, dent ; while another declares that the Morea is only a small part of the •new Stile to which the Allies meant their mediation or protection to extend.— From these contradic ory statements, coopled pith the orders and counter orders, it may be teasonably inferred tbat the French Government has not come to any fixed determination on the subject. ,The accounts from Constantinople by the Germs 4, Mail, received this morning, are of the same date as those pieviortsly received. The SULTAN and his Ministers •te"represen.ed as employing all their energies in pro. seeming the military armaments, and the most extensive preparations are making for carrying on the war,— Use following are extracts: . CONSTANTINOPLIZ, Nov. 12. - Profound silence is observed respecting the military events, and only the rneasur's taken by the Porte shows that it intends to pro. Matte the campaign with the greatest activity, and to recover the Would that has been occupied by the enemy. The march a; Astatic.tretops to the Balkan—the orders given to aUtbe Pachas of tie empire to supply the army with the necessary military stores :...the exertions of the Kisje Bey to insure the subsistence of the troops be- contracts—and the continual removal and perse. melon of those persons in office turbo are inclined to peace, lot too Clearly indicate the inclination of the Sultan, and banish ' oar hopes of the end of a contest. which, however success. Must prove very injurious to this empire, and exhaust all ifs llSlMlfeelle Every body is suspected, and is sure to incur the dsgrace of his Sovereign, who does not Satter his warlike spirit, or Who ventures to depart hum the ordinances, which breathe soitgainary revenge for the aggression of the Russians. The Mufti and the Ulernas are obliged to appear wearing their swords. This order has caused grew discontent among that powerful class, and ft an additional proof of the 'firmness of the Sultan's character— /Wet at a moment when be is threatened by the enemy from without, he allows no remonstemce of his subjects, and knows Ibits , to essintaln his authesity by energetic measures: Os these grounds several Mollabs, and others, were banished frumthe.capital last week, and the Finance Department entirely rergarized The sentiments of the new Grand Vizier appear wholly to coincide with those sat his Master, and the confidence he enjoys enables him to act with more vigour than his predecessor could do. Dela supposed to intend to relieve Silistria, and toe the rear of the Russian army. 'though this is not a very promising prospect for the peace of Europe, hopes ese still entertained at Pera that the Porte may be induced to such concessions as may lead to peace s The arrival of M. Bois k Comte at the hotel of the Nether. lands Ambassador, eluted general curiosity to learn the object of bis mission. Some said he brought m ultimatum of the French Government, requiring the immediate acceptance of the Treaty of London'; and -'bids probable, that the French Governmer vrl is more , wished, by, the intervention of eglton Von Zuylen, to prevent oily isisundentanding that might ari.. front the blockade of the Dar. disnelks by the Russians, sod as the English Ministry did before without presenting a declaration. In fact, Baron Von Zuyten sent his Dragoman with instructions, to acquaint the Reis Effendi with tile views of the French Government, which thinks to remain metre) in this matter, without contesting the right of tinsels to do what it proposes. The Reis Effendi is said,to base replied, that It was indifferent to the Porte *hat measures were adopted "ain't it, for it would defend its rights and preserve itself from atsbosour." What credit is to be given to this assertion we do not inow ; but it is certain that the squadron its the Bosphorus is or eared to the Dardanelles, and 8,000 chosen troops are seat by land tpatrengtben the garrisons of she forts. Baron Von Zuykn has art as express to Polo', with dispatches for Count Guillerninut.— Anordase Zeiring, Aix. S. TUACT OF A LZTTER 16011 401/. 18. g. The news from gn g land hat of latabeen of a con.

However this may ism, mu bawds' are kept iQ efficient nide, a prq ininent object of speculation is, that an Austrian frigate,' having under convoy several shies laden with grain from 4gyjst, has forced the bloseltade of the Dardanelles ; and, it is even said. that the Russian Consmand. r, finding ,that the Commander of the frigate was determined to protect his convoy from watch, permitted them to pass unmolested ; hence the alarmists consider that war between Russia and Austria is inevitable. We have now in Malta a large number of ships of all nations; our provisions are consequently greatly enhanced in pi ice The Russians have three ships of the line lying here, and three frigates. The English ships are, of the line, the Ocean, the Windsor Castle, and the Spartiate; with the Dartmouth frigate, and several smaller ships. We have news in siz days from the Morea r the French are suffering greatly from disease—but as you get particulars earlier than we do, the , subject is scarcely worth mentioning. "A report having reached us that out King uas dangerously ill, an adventurous tailor bought up all the black cloth he could, as a speculation ; but later 'sc. counts having happily brought another version of this story. the poor tailor finds he has burnt his fingers.

Thetharacter of Charles, the mad hero of the Nock has been so often dissected and dramatised, that think li tle left in the shape of novelty. We have had his t Bender, at Pultawa in the Ukrane, and last night es found him playing his famous tricks at Stralmid. In 1715. Charles remained in that city. which e ll menaced by the Kings of Denmark and Prossi4. Danes and Salons, tot mine an *ray of 56.000 mtp, laid siege to Stralsund•, and it became famous iu Ear" by the noble defence which Charles made. The city of Stt alsund is built between the Baltic 311 and the Lake of Pranken, and was considered imps,. stable. Charles, by a rash attempt to keep the Prir, slam out of the Isle of Rugen, was beaten, and cost• pelted to abandon Stralsund in a small vessel. Ile ha the good fortune to reach Carlscrona, but the city Wm taken. The Monarch is in the hie of Rugen when the dram begins. Major ranberK, an old Swedish Officer, ha been unjustly atcused of treason, and has sought ref" with his daughter Carla:, in the house of Adam B a loyal farmer, strongly-attached to the King. AR. wa►d hating been offered for Iris apprehension, all 0' parties are is a state of alarm. .• • ' The King, who is only known as an officer, goon Brock, to repay him some money which he had SIM to him when he left Stockholm. The scene is cask The blunt observations of Brock (Gummi), respee the' King are laughable, and excite interest. 'l' is a love affair between Colonel Michel and - . rico, Major Iranberg's daughter, which forms an teresting feature in the piece.. The supposed tr 4 Vanberg, ultimately fights by. the side ti the King, Nese:yes his life. The King . eives him his pistol, at mark by which he may discover him alter V e hi and finally it leads to the pardon of i'ireberg, and. riage of his daughter to Colonel fteichel. The latter' Secretary to the King ; and whilst he is writing hoe Charles's dictation, a bomb is thtown is to the room; pen drops from the hand_ of the Secretary ; and the King, following VOLTA ales version of the matter, claims," What is the reason you do not writer—v. t • Sire, the bomb!' "What has the bomb to do will the letter I *as dictating ? Gu on !" This incident is not well managed. A sort of sq is thrown on the stage, which is too feeble to eacite sat thing but mirth. All the parties are pardoned by di King, *lto is preparing to quit Stralsund, but befouls goes he calls upon his friend Brock to claim lot him tia indulgence of the audience. LISTON then came forward, and addressing the house said—v , Ladies and Gentleman allow me tar ssy—. Long life to Clarks the Tweltie, Loud applause instantly folio% ed, and, the curtail dropped amidst a general ex i ne i sion of se isfaction. Fannin looked the character of Charletthe Twelfif• and played it admirably. LISTON also sustained his pats with peat comic effect. Miss Lott', as the daugh. ter of Brock, and Miss E. Tan, as .the ; daughter of rankrg, were loudly applauded in their respective parts. A scene in the secocd act, showing the ram. parts of Stralsunkby moonlight, with the snare !mar tops of the houses, produced a beAutiful effect. ,Tla drama, in short, was well received throughout, . The dialogue is spirited, but the incidents rather tediuun It was siven QUt for repetition. ,an . SAturday evening. It may. be noticed as a singularity, that.the name id the piece was not announced until it appeared in she bills of the day ; the reason is obvious, via..ithat the minor theatres might not anticipate this house ; for tic consequence cf the pteseist translating system is, Ira only the notice of two or three days is required fur de writing and getting up 'of a new piece, and the 3010 is common to all.
