The surrender of the fortresses to the Hellenians will be the end of our expedition.

The following Declaration was adopted on Friday, at a highly respectable Meeting of the Clergy in the neighbourhood of Maidstone: se We, the undersigned, being Clergymen of *it Established Church, resident of the Deanery of Sutton, , in the Diocese of Canterbury, and County of Kent, firmly attached to our old and invaluable Constitution, view, with extreme anxiety, tie efforts that are making to its prejudice, and, we fear, ultimate destruction.— Considering the proceedings of the Roman Catholics in behind to be highly , dangerous to the Protestant in• stitutions of the United Kingdom, to be manifestly tend• ing to the subversion of Christian truth, and conse• quently of the pure and apostolic doctrines of the United Church of England and Ireland, we deem it right to publish a brief declaration of our sentiments upon the subject. We have received letters from Odessa of the 26th September. No doubt was entertained of the taking of Varna, but it was known that the Russian army was in a distressed condition, and that the Emperor desires peace. The letters received to-day from the theatre of war continue to speak of the great advantages obtained by Hussein Bey and by the garrison of Silistria. These accounts have hitherto nothing of an official character, and seem to us still to need confirmation. - Five Thousand DUCK.

Among other lo,ers were several English fami *liei residing here ; of course they couldobtain no redress, as,.although it could be proved that the letters had been .put. dant the London post-office, it could not be proved .tbat they had not been stolen before they reached the Continent. One of the letter-sorters here has been for some time suspected, in consequence of the style in •which he was losing, and which would require more •means than he could obtain by his regular salary. The .plan devised to detect him was as follows:--The di rector of the post wrote to the inspector of the office at one of the outposts to direct a letter, with a certain . address, to a house in Paris, and to enclose a 500 franc bank bill, taking care to mark on the envelope of the letter that it contained money. This letter, on its ar rival, was purposely put in the way of the suspected indivisrial. who, not knowing that he was observed, conveyed it into his pocket; and upon being searched, seven other letters cot.tiining money were found upon his person. We are informed that he made a confession tt•e presence of the Commissary of the Police to this effect—that all the Liters xvhich have disappeared from the Paris post-ckffice liaise been stolen by him, but i that he had no accomplice. It appears, also, that the greater part of the sums stolen made its way to the gambling houses in the Palais Royal. • • At the Assizes of the Department of the Seine, a woman, 44 years old, was indicted for an assault on . a young woman of 25, whom she susreted to be intrigu tpg v.ith bet husband, an old man of 60. to whom she had been married 28 years. The woman assaulted swore that she was knocked down by the jealous vixen, who beat her very savagely with a stick, crying at every blow, "• Where is my husbaed, hussy ?" The, jealous vixen replied, that .she had, never knocked down her yAing rival—the lady had fallen. " (addressed her," continued she, " in the most polite terms. I said to her, Ma'am, you disturb my domestic arrangements. I should be glad to exchange a few words c f explanation with you—will you enter my house, and take ogles. of wine or brandy?' She refused my hospitality, and re pelled me with her parasol. Then I defended myself with a stick,which I had with me, not to sttske her, but to support my own totteringisteps, for I was very ill -1 had left the hospital very recently. We neither of us fell in the struggle." The President told the elderly lady that her story was contradicted, not only by the] deposition of all the parties. who had witnessed the iransattion, but also by the severe blows which her rival -had received : and then, to satisfy her jealousy, interro gated the younger lady as to her intimacy with the gallant gay Lothario of 60, which she positively denied. The woman was then acquitted and set at liberty. • • • - . • -t -kik ki /4;., "11 991.:11;40 ` 1 C;" ' 1 7), • -‘ 44; • • n ctO ar. .. • • b C ."4 • *-1111 Arv-. • , .

Paws Savaisrmws. t Thus, if we may believe the letters from Bucharest, the Turks have assumed the offensive, the corps of Ge• neral Roth has been almost entirely destroyed. the siege of Schumla raked, and the Russians (abandoning SO pieces cf cannon) have retreated towards Bazardjik, pursued by Hussein, at the head of 70,000 men, who flattered himself that be should destroy them, fall on the rear of the army besieging Varna, relieve that town, and terminate the campaign by compelling the whole of the enemy's army to a gen Oral retreat. We find it difficult to believe such an undertaking. A plan so inconceivably daring seems to us a piece of the most egregious rashness, and in manifest opposition to the prudence and calmness which have hitherto guided all the operations of the Generals of Mahmuud. If the Turks suffer themselves to be drawn away to a distance from their ramparts in pursuit of a large army which retreats in good order, and only for want of pro. visions—if success should so intoxicate Hussein as to make him hope that he will surprise the Emperor Ni. cholas at Varna, then this presumption, which, after all, is consistent enough with the Ottoman pride, might very likely change the whole aspect of the campaign, and restore victory to the Russian army, which, at this moment, our accounts agree in representing as a prey to distress, disease, and in almost complete discourage. ment.—(This article. is extracted from the Journal des Debate.) YROM THE JOURNAL DES DEDATS. PARIS, OcT.-11. The division off Algiers destroyed on the Ist October, at Torrette Cities, four leagues to the west of Algiers, four pirates, which had taken refuge under the forts. The fort, mounting 15 guns, was also much.damaged. FROM THR COURIER FRANCAIS.' PARIS, Om tr. The campaign in the East draws towards a close, and appears likely to be more disastrous to the Russians than the last bulletins led us to expect. The news in the German Journals shows the position of the Russians to be alarming, and presages disasters. The army which was before Schumla is retreating precipitately towards , Bazardjik, leaving the roads covered with sick and dead, horses and carriages. Hussein' Bey pinnies 'heti with 70,000 men, excited by fanaticism and victory.—. In the principalities it ii expected that the Roseians will 're-piss the Danube. On reaching that river they will encounter the garrisons* of the fortresses; which their blockading force could not restrain. The garrison of Silistria has diSpersed the army of General Roth, which could only be again collected at Hirsova. The Germin Journals say, that the troops are demoralized by the climate,' and the failure and this will multiply their distresses. The first consequence of the retreat to Ba aardjik will be, to leave the army before Varna exposed, and if the place is not already taken, the siege must be instantly raised ; for General Woronsow cannot alloW a corps of 70,000 men'to establish themselves in his rear, and on his right, while another corps, from Adriainiple, hu arrived by the Bourgas road. If Varna is taken, can their conquest be preserved by"the Russians? Can they establish themselves in a place, of which the de fences are ruined, in the face' of two armies ? If the retreat of the principal army is as ascribed, the army before Varna must, in all probability, follow it. Turkey will be in this case cleared of the enemy, and the powerful army which entered it, will have left no other trace, but of disasters as unexpected as diffi cult to repair. Even if the Russians should repass the Danube witilont much loss, can they, fatigued and dis couraged, maintain themselves in an exhausted coun try ? Will the Turks, masters of Widdin and five or six bridges over the Danube, allow them to pass the winter in security? Letters from Vienna, however, announce that mote troops are on their March ; that Count Pahlen is to receive an important command ; and that the Russians mean to make a winter campaign. This news, however, does nr.t agree with what is said in the A►rgr6urg Gazette, and snakes us not plate im plicit reliance in the correspondence of the German Journals. For six months they said that the Turks had ten thousand men on the Danube, and thirty thousand at Adrianople, and no more; and the Russians have found 100,000 men at Schumla. 20,000 at Varna, and as many at Silistria, as many at Widdin, strong garri sons at Giurgevo, Rudschuk, &c. and a numerous army at Adrianople. It is extraordinary that the Ca binets, and even Russia itself, seemed to share the errors of the journalists. Every body was mistaken. How are we to explain, consistently with the apathy and weakness of the Turks, these numerous armies at all points of defence, this artillery, that the Russians admit to have been well served, and these regular troops or ganised and ready for war? How are these troops maintained? It is evident that We do not know Turkey, a. AZOW, is THE SAY or COllOll, JULY 1. "Sett—ln spite of the repeated declaration/ which have been made on the subject of the blockade of the western side of the Morea, and in Spite of the presence of the cruisers belonging to the squadrons of the three high Powers, vessels carrying neutral flags take in cargoes of wheat, beans, and other provisions at Syra and the lonian Isles, and repair to the Gulf of Coron, under pretest of selling their cargoes to the Greeks at Maine. The proximity of these places, and of the port of Kitties to Coron, favouring the private transportation of provi sions to that fortress on board of small barks, we de clare once more, that it is forbidden to every vessel, bark, and boat, to carry provisions or munitions of any sort to any port, bay, or anchorage, occupied either by the Turks or by the Greeks, from Cape Matapan to the Gulf of Lepanto. "Every vessel carrying a neutral flag, which shall endeavour to violate this blockade, will have its cargo confiscated; and if it shall present itself a second time' on the same coast, it shall be sunk, according to the laws universally admitted among nations, and which Russia, in its capacity of a Power waging war with Turkey, is bound to exercise for the more strict main tenance of the above-nsentioned blikkade.

"We cannot fail to notice the encouragement which infidelity, scepticism, and latitudinarianism, are giving to the encroachments of Popery. The infidel, hostile to all revealed religion, and anxious to disgrace Chris timthy with a view to what he hopes, its approaching downfall, advocates , the cause of Popery as one of its most absurd modifications. The latitudinarian, diffe• rent to all systems of religion, would place Protestants and Roman Catholics on a level, and, fearing to be called a bigot, with a strange inconsistency, supports and promotes the very principle he protesses to oppose; while the Papist, aware of this, encourages the idle dread of the name, and insidiously persuades the latite• dinarian to espouse a cause, which, if successful, must end in his own discomfiture. With these dangers before us, we feel bound, by our consciences and ourr,,profee• sion, not to remain silent spectators of them. We'there. fore entreat our fellow-subjects of the Laity to be watch• ful of their Protestant privileges, to maintain in their full ♦igour and pre-eminence the principles of theßefor• elation, and thereby to uphold the great and holy cause of religious truth. We implore them to beware of the encroachments of the Roman Catholics, seconded as they are by those who pretend not to be aware of them —we mean infidels, sceptics, latitudinarians, and the professors of a specials, but false liberality. And we pray that the blessing of GOD may attend the ezertioes of all who tuppcirt our Protestant Constitution in Mut& and State, and that our country may continue trabeNa she long has been, the bulwark of Protestantism, and' a secure depository of the Protestant faith." • (Hire fellows the signatures of the Mini and have not appreciated its resources, the means it has of supplying the want of our administrative organisa tion, and the aptitude of the Turks for war.

We must now be aware that this contest againit slaves was not thought worthy of serious atten tion, and that they reserved their energies for a more powerful enemy. If we had known better, Russia pro. bably would not have undertaken the war with insuffi cient preparation, and would not have taken dangerous resolutions, of which prudence now tries to diminish the consequences.

BUCHAREST, Sm. IT. We learn froM &hurls that General Roth has taken, from the Turks the last intrenehmeots out of the wall% F s • of the forties*, the possession of which must be o great importance to both palms. A few days ago the Turks made a desperate sally, in order to recover them. After an obstinate engagement of several hours, the Turks were driven back into the fortress, without having at tained their object. They retreated in such disorder, that the gates were closed before all the troops bad ens tered the town, so that.motesban 2,000 were excluded. However, as they were protected by the batteries of the fortress, they could not be attacked, ;Ad were let is biter the lapse of some hours, when the alarm had in some degree subsided. Fdr two days together a death like stillness prevailed in the fortress. ,The Lou on both sides was considerable, but the reports are very diffe rent. Themost probable statement is that which makes the loss of the Turks above 1.000 ssen, and that of the Russians above 500. It is said also, that there is a great mortality in &Ruda which is the more probable, as their sick and wounded are, without any attendance, and to which the hot weather which we have hitherto bad must have contributed. It is not likely that a re gular siege of Silistria will be undertaken, because the necessary artillery is not at hand, and it appears that hopes are entertained of compelling the fortress to sur render by a bombardment.
