one of artillery. I ordered General Durgin to cl,rect this expedition, and to blow open the gates of the town, the walls of which are in good condition, and do not offer, like those of Navarin, a point that can be scaled. At noon the troops had arrived within half cannon shot of the citadel, covered by a ravine which masked them. His Majesty's ship of the line the Breslau, Capt. Maillard, and the English ship the Wellesley, Captain Maitland, had placed themselves ready to fire upon the tosvn at the first signal. General Durrieu embarked a company of voltigeurs in the boats of the ships, for the purpose of forcing the gate next the sea, with assistance of the seamen. Another company was placed as sharp shooters opposite the embrasures, with orders to fire upon the gunners, if they began to fire. Lastly, two ether chosen companies were placed before the bridge which leads to the citadel, with Colonel Bulliere at their head; four companies of the centre were placed tin the rear, to support them in case of need. " Every thing being prepared at the same signal, the boats advanced towards the sea gate, and the sappers advanced along the bridge to the land gate, which they were beginning to force open in presence of the garrison, which did not dare to make any offensive movement, when a parley was again demanded. At that moment I myself arrived at the gate. A violent storm had re tarded my march. I advanced to keep off Hassan Pacha and Achmet Bey, who were descending into an out work near the gate. , The Pacha again declared to me that he could not surrender the fortre.s, but that if I took him prisoner, in spite of himself, he hoped I should give him as good terms as the garrison of Navarin. I promised, and without waiting for any tarther explana tion, caused the gate to be forced open, that which the sailors and voltigeurs were ordered to carry having made less resistance. Captsins Maitland and Maillard, who had entered at their head, appeared at this moment on the ramparts, and thus we were masters of Motion as well as Navarin. " I shall send to your Excellency, as soon as they are completed, the lists of the artillery and ammunition found in the several fortresses. " I cannot conclude without stating to your Excel lency with what frankness and zeal Admiral Malcolm has seconded us. His ships were by the side of oars, ready to fight with us, if it had been necessary, at Na •arin, Modon, and Coron, and in the Golf of Lepanto. Captain Maitland, of the Wellesley, was one of the first who entered Modon .with our Voltigeurs, and ardently desired to take part in an action. " I have the honour to be, Sec. Ike. " MARQUESS MAISON." The Paris rapers of Saturday, which had been received previous to the arrival cf the preceding, together with the Dutch Papers of the same date, contain no political intelligence of the least interest. The Empress of RUSSIA arrived at St. Petersburgh on the 15th ult. in perfect health from Odessa, accompanied by her sister in-law, the Grand Duchess Ma ata. The Russian Go vernment has adopted the plan of Sir ROBERT SCPPINOS in building ships of war with round sterns; A ship of the line constructed upon this principle has just been launched from the Royal Dock-yard at Ochia. Great preparations are otherwise nuking for the increase of the Russian navy. Frankfort Papers, and the Algemeine Zeitung, each to the 29th, have been received this morning. Their con• tents, as will be seen from the subjoined extracts, are without the least intere.t : ST. PETERSBURG% OCT. 14. " Modon is a vet:) , strong place, which has, what is not common in the E ist, a covered way, pallisadoed, an enormous ditch, a double inclosure, and walls of considerable height. It was provided with provisions for more than six months—with ammunition for two sieges —one hundred pieces of cannon—a garrison of 1078 men, of whom 508 are Turks, and 570 Arabs of the 4th battalion. • " Coron was surrendered the same day as the two preceding fortresses; but the garrison was much less disposed to surrender, the means which so happily suc ceeded at Modon and Navajo, and which I had or dered General Sebastiani to employ, had not the same success at Coron. That General appeared on the 7th before the gate of that town, announcing that liatarin and Ilodon were in our hands; nevertheless the Turkish Governor persisted in his resistance. Seeing that par leying was to no purpose, General Sebastiani was, ac cording to my orders, resolved to attempt an escalade the next day, t:ie Bth. Stones thrown from the tops. of the walls wounded some sappers and Captain Bon tank!, of the Engineers. I had forbidden our troops to fire first, without espies: orders from me. General Sebastiani, though indignant at the insult offered to his troops, seeing them ready to transgress his orders, had so much command over himself as to order them to retire out of gun-shot. Thus he avoided a useless en gagement. I am the more obliged to him for having taken this prudent step, as his batteries were ready. as the Amphitrite was moored within half-caution shot, and he was certain of destroying in a short time all the defences of the Turks, but war would then have begun between them and us. In the evening the Breslau and the Wellesley arrived off Coron, and joined the Am phitrite, to awe the 'larks. The Captains immediately landed, and it was agreed that the Governor should be desired to send a Turkish officer to convince himself of the taking of Modon, and that in a quarter of an hour after the return of that officer, the plase should be delivered up to the Bench troops, or that it should be attacked by sea and land, and destroyed with the gar rison. These measures produced their effect, and on the 9th Coron opened its gates. This place, as far as concerns the fortifications, is not in so bad a condition as Navarin ; but, like the two others, it presents only a heap of buildings in ruins. " I intend to deliver up Coron to the Greek Govern ment, as soon as it shall send regular troops to occupy it. We have found in it, as well as in the other two places, provisions, ammunition, and ample means of defence. It has eighty pieces r•f cannon and mntar!. An Ukase has been addressed by his Majesty the Emperor to the Director of the Ecclesiastical Affairs of Foreign Religious Confession, which is to the following effect : " Having examined with particular attention the Petition pre sented to me by Bishop Cyancus and the Rev. Melva. Reinbott and Volborth. as well as the details of the state of the Lutheran Church in Russia, I find that it is absolutely necessary, for the better organization of that Church, to make the regulations at present subsisting in it more conformable to the original principles, and to determine with more precision and unifor mity, as well the Constitution of the Consistories, and other spiritual Protestant authorities and corporations which take part in the affairs of the Church." His Majesty has therefore ordered, that the Protestant Consistories of Livonia, Enke nia, and Courland, and that at St. Petersburgh, shall collect and send to the above department of Ecclesiastical Affairs, the most ac curate and detailed accounts of all the deviations from the ordi nances of the Lutheran Church, which have been introduced in the course of time, or permitted by custom. After these accounts have been received, a Special Commission is to be appointed at St. Pecersburgh, of which the Privy Councillor and Senator Count Tiesenhausen is to be President, and which Is to draw up a plan of a general ordinance fur the Protestant Evangelic Church in Rank. On the let October the inauguration of the University, which has been removed from Also to Helsingfors, was celebrated with great solenmity. The number of itutients is already 285, and more are daily arriving. SWITZERLAND, OCT. 18. The new Zurigla Gazette, and from it some French and German Journals, reported that, on account of the extravagant fees which. ware demanded by the Court of Rome of the newly-appointed' Canons of the diocese of Basle, which they had neither the will nor ability to pay, their installation bad been deferred. The Wald stadier Bote is authorised efficiently to contradict this falsehood. 1. The fees for the Bulls of nomination have been whoUy re mitted by his Holiness to the new Canons. The usual office fees which they had to pay were so trilling, that no one thought of ob jecting to them. Y. The installation was deferred because the Hortatory brief is shortly expected from Rome, which the Pope always addresses to the Chapter on the appointment of a Bishop, and to spare them the trouble of two jorrnies to Soleure, they will not go there to be in stalled till the arrival of the brief from Rome, when the installation will be Ferformed in one day, and the choice of the Bishop take place the day following. The whole article in the Zurich Gazette is therefere a complete and highly offensive fabrication.—Frankfort Papers. Os . sa. AUGSBURG. Ocr. 27. The 411 genuine Zeiistng of 93th Oct. has the following postscript : " We have just received by express the following Bulletin, which puts an end to the unfavourable reports spread from Bucharest, Semlin," &c. L Here follows the Bulletin of Octal, relating to the fall of Vatna.l CI CY O TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at 861, with little or nothing doing; and at present tbey may be quoted at 86i to i. The Hamburgb steam-boat has not yet arrived. The Foreign mike is very inactive, and prices are nominal at present. It noveappeart that the Russian campaign has terminated, and the Emperor of Russia haa returned to St. Petersburgh. "Your Excellency has seen by my last dispatches, that after having organised the third brigade, I sent it by sea to the Gulf of Lepanto, with orders to drive the Turks from Patras and the Castle of the Mores. This brigade was landed on the 4th. On the same day General Schneider began to negotiate with Hadji Ab• d,slha, Pacha ref Patras and of the Castle of Morea. After much parleying, which led tl nothing, the term of twenty-four hours, which was granted for a defini tive answer, having expired, General Schneider imme• diately formed his three regiments in three columns, the artillery being drawn between the columns, and marched directly towards the place, before which he drew them up within cannon shot, and completely sur rounded it. The following is from a Frensh Paper received by the Mall this mornin&: " The Emperor of Russia has left Varna, and the Russian army are preparing to go into winter quarters." Accounts from Frankfort, of the 27th October, state, that private letters from Berlin mention that from the 7th to thr 9th Oct. the Russians lost 5,000 men in the assaults on Varna; also, that Jussurr PAeNa was bribed, for instead of following the orders of his superior Officer, be nude a sortie, went over to the enemy, and laid down his arms; but the Carimu Pacus did not sur. render until after an obstinate resistance. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. . 6 This bold movement, in which we succeeded here, produced its effect, and a capitulation was the result of it. General Sch neider highly commends the ardour and discipline of his troops. " On the whole, since the departure of Ibrahim has left us at liberty to act, our operations have been suc ces.ful. Undoubtedly we have not acquired any mili tary glory by them, but the object for which we have come—th e Ilber ation of Greece—has been more happily and promptly effected ; the More.* has been cleared of its enemies. Ibrahim embarked 21,000 men; .he left, in the fortresses of Messenia more than 2,500 men, Turks and Egyptians. General Schneider found about 3,000 men in the forts of Patras And MOM.

Private letters have been received this morning from one of the first houses at Vienna to the 23th ult. stating that the official ac counts of the capitulation of Varna bad been received there—ns fighting had taken place previous to its surrender.

Mr. WARING, the King's messenger, arrived at tle Foreign Office last night with dispatches from Lord HEYTESBURY, at Odessa; and Lnrd COWL IT at Vienna. Lord HITTIISIBURY'S dispatches are dated .the 17th ult. and Lord Cowutv's, the 25th. We understand they contain merely the official account of the fall of VArna, on the 11th, the particulars of which have been already fully detailed. These dis patches make no mention of the statement made by the French Journals, of the Emperor NrcnotArt having left the army for the purpose of returning to his capital, or of the preparations said to be making for the Russian army going into. winter quarters. This statement, therefore, still requires confirmation. GIBRALTAR. The private letters received yesterday from Gibraltar. of the 13th ult. confirm in most parts the accounts pub lished in the French papers. None of them, however, mention the circumstance of the infection having reached Europa• Point ; and as such an occurrence would havr been considered important. it could not fail to h.sve been stated had it really taken place. The Rev: Mr. Hackman, who, we believe, was Chaplain to the garri son, is among the number who have fallen victims to the virulence of the disorder. We take the following official statement of the progress of the fever from the Gibraltar Chronicle: Admitted. Died. Remained.

We are sorry to state now, that the Lady has again absconded ; she has given up the protection of the maternal roof for the society of her paramour, and has thus set at nought the anxious care and solicitude of a fond but heart-broken mother. The second elopement took place on Tuesday last, from Hereford. It appears that immediately after the guilty pair were separated at Leamington, Mr. Birkett dis patched a servant to Cheltenham, to watch the move ments of the parties.; and having discovered that Lady B. and her daughter had proceeded to Hereford, he contrived to renew his communication with Mrs. Wallis, and their plans being completed, it is supposed that he met the Lady at dusk on Tuesday evening, in the neighbourhood of the.turnpike oa the road leading to Bromyard, from which place he had brought a vehicle to bear them out of the reach of purauit.--61•Ncesiet Journal.

Death of Lord Sligo's Cant.—The attendance was numerous yesterday, and the Newmarket accounts of last week were settled.

I think it my duty to make it known to the public as early as possible, that there may be no advantage taken of it ; as lam sure it would be much against Lord Sligo's wish that there should be any, his Lordship being now abroad.

I.bout a fortnight ago, she London Papers cohtsined an accoost of 4 young Lady having eloped from her home, with a person in the situation of a menial servant of a performer at the Opera. The parties were subsequently traced-to this town, and on Thursday a Gentleman came down in pursuit. and with the assistance of Owen, first traced them to a lodging •house in Butcher-row, and from thence to another on the Castle-hill, where they were, on Friday morning, discovered. The young Lady, who is ander age, was taken from her soi algid husband, and conveyed to London, by the Times coach, leaving the s e ll ik r u au , who is a Spaniard, to bear his bereave mem as well as he could. Friday last. the stonemasons employed in repairing the Holy Trinity Church, Hull. when cutting down one of the jambs of the stone work, belonging to an old wits. dow, found a bee within au aperture, in the ceistre of a stone, where it is supposed to have been confined for at least 500 years. The insect was quite lively ; indeed, attention was attracted to the stone by its humming, on a chissel being withdrawn. which had been driven into the jamb; and it would have taken flight had not one of the workmen enclosed it in a glass. Alter t .at pi rind it gradually became more and mute torpid, until S day eveaibg, when apparently it ceased to exist. The bee, writhe fragment of the stone in which it was dis covered, ire inihe possession of the workmen, by shoal they have been exhibited to a great number of persons. The wank in size and shape, would cuntain a small pear, and there was not the least seam or outlet in the stone by which air could be admitted.--Hill Advertiser.
