The head quarters of the Emperor were still at Kr rassu on the 3d. However, at that time a part of the troops, under General Rudiger, was on its march to Varna, which is in a bad condition, and cannot make any serious resistance wizen a squadron of ships of war shall appear before it. Several pulks of Cossacks scour the country between Sebumla and Silistria, and do much injury to the Turks, *base communications they intercept. It it said that a Tartar, dispatched by Hussein Pa cha, who commands in Sebumla, with dispatches for the Pacha of Widdin, has been stopped by some Cossacks and. brought to the head-quarters, and that his dis patches must be of great importance, because Count Diebitsch, the Quartermaster-General, had been en gaged several hours with the Emperor, and -that" after wards many couriers bad been sent to the different corps of the army. It was supposed that Hussein Pa cha had sent to the Pacha of Widdin instructions for' . his conduct, and • communications respecting Servia; for the division of infantry, under the command of Ge neral Kortschakoff; which was appointed to observe, in Little Wallachia, the Turkish camp at Calafar, have re ceived -considerable reinforcements, and was to ad vance immediately into Servia, where the Turks sum moned the troops front Bosnia to join them, and in.; tended to collect a great force upon the Morava. The Servians are said to have protested against the entrance of the troops from Bosnia, and threaten to re volt in a mass if the treaties were to be violated. It seem', however, that the Turks pay little attention to the remonAtrances of the Servians, and that the latter I will be obliged to have iecourse to arms for the defence of - their rights. ' It is probable that the Russians have orders to march to the assistance of the Servians.— itugshurg Gazette. PARIS. Jinx 27. The expedition to the Morea is decided in principle, but part of the details which have been given are pie 's ~ natuie. The 'following are the particulars that we have' collected, and which we believe may be depended upon as Correct : The expedition will be cbmmansled, as has been stated, by Lietitenant-General Maison, but there will be no other General Officer of the same rank. Major General Higontiet and Tiburce Sebastiani will be employed ; the names of the other Major- Generals are not known. The expedition is composed of eighteen battalions of infantry., of the regiment. of Chasseurs on horseback, commatidesl by Colonel San dons, which was at Barcelona, and of a detachment of artillery. It is believed that part of the Fren:h garri son of Cadiz willjoin the expedition. The military and civil officers have orders to be at Tonian on the sth of August.- M. Volland, the Intendant, who is charged with the chief direction of the administration of - the corps of the army composing the expedition, is still at Paris. FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNEL. PARIS, JULY 27. TO 711 aOllll4. The expedition to the Morea must have excited the attention of the public, and given rise to man' conjec tures. It is plain that Ibis expedition is founded on the Treaty of July 6th, for every thing now doing in Eu rope is founded on that Treaty. The march of the Russians to Constantinople, our proceedings as to the Morea, and the inactivity of England, are all founded on that Treaty. ALL' that we desire to know is, who understands it best, and who will extract from it most advantage? Will it be the Russians marching on Con -I:tantinop:e,the French, in sailing to the Morea—or the English, in waiting the course of events? The Rus sians, it is clear, place themselves in a favourable situa tion for executing this Treaty. If the European Powers were to unite, and throw themselves in the rear of the Russians after they had passed the Balkan, they might experience a Moscow campaign. But for this Met ternich and Wellington must agree. Ptussia must be passive, and France must decide, for without' her notb ng can now be done. The Russians, therefore, by carrying' the Treaty into execution in their own manner, do net ran a great risk. There is much to be said pro and con against the French proceeding to the Morea, as there.has been on all great events, and therefore it would be hazardous to pronounce beforehand what will be the results. - If, however, the demon of temptation should seizethe Powers—if the young descendant of Catherine, on arriving at the Bosphorus, should be troubled by that demon, in showing him the fine places, with the words that formerly troubled the mind of a GOD-will France then have acted prudently in repairing to the Mores? To ns it appears she would. When Poland was partitioned, all the Powers were afraid of each other, and they obtained confidence at the expense of the weakest. They'divided the object in dispute. It would now be better, perhaps, for the Powers, instead of fighting against Turkey, to take Bosnia, Servia, Albania, the Morea, and the Islands of the Archipelago, leaving Russia, Moldavia, 'Wallachia, Bulgaria, Thrace, and Constantinople; and if the Treaty of July should be executed in this manner, it will not be bad for France to be in the Morea. She wilt, at least, secure to herself', a part of the Turkisli.Empile. It would be better, no doubt, for us to be in Egypt than in Greece. We might, as Leibnitz and Napoleon thought, do something very advactageous there. It would be difficult, however, to do this in conformity with the Treaty of the6tb ofJuly;, and till some Power sets us a bad example, it would be-dangerous for us to' set one. Russia, it is true, is marching on Constantinople; but it is not the time far' us to proceed straight to Egypt, as we did when we , ruled over the Con t i nent , an d w h en a hero led 40,000 troops, embarked on board a fleet of 400 sail. We must, there fore , go to th e Mo res , in order to observe vases and circumstances, and remain faithful to the ' Treaty of July 6. DANUBE TO CONSTANTINOPLE. THE DIFFERENT ROADS FROM THE LOWER Von Sturmer, in his "Journey to the Turkish Capital:* relates that there ate five different ways of travelling from Bucharest to Constantinople. The first is to go in company with the Janizaries attached to the em bassies, who generally make the journey every month ; the Second is to go with one of the couriers of the Princes of Moldavia and Wallachia; the third, in one's own carriage; the fourth, in a hired carriage, which may frequently be bad in Rustschuck; and the fifth, with a caravan. Formerly, at least, the first of these was the best and safest way, and seldom occupied more than six or seven days. The second was somewhat less safe, as the messengers of the Princes never command the same respect as the Jantzaries. In one's own c4r riage it was unsafe to travel, unless accompanied by a Janizary, who acted, at the same time, as courier and escort, and geneially took the management of every thing connected with the journey into his own hands. With a hired carriage, the journey seldom took up less than fourteen days. These conveyances, or, as they are called in the dialect of the country, Araba, resemble in some measure the wicker basket 'waggons in use in the North of Germany, with a cover of linen to protect the traveller from the sun. They have no seats—instead of which they are furnished with cushions, upon which you msy sit cre,s-legged in the true oriental fashion. They are painted in general, aft drawn by bullocks, and as many As eight persons can sit in them. The caravans also reqiire about a fottnight to go from Rtistschuck to Constantinople. A Caravan-baschi determines the length of eacbday's journey, as well as the places where they are to halt. - They lodge in the different khans, or caravanseries—a kind of spacious stable, calculated to accommodate upwards of 100 horses and their riders, the former occupying the centre, while the latter spread out thtir mats on a'kind of elevation that runs round the whstle.building,' . with here and there a fire-place. There.is a kind, of posting ip Turkey, with stations for changing horses. but these ate only for the saddle. The usual mid, kfter crossing the Danube -at Rusts chuck, is to proceed to'flisgrad or Hesargrad (27 miles), to Shumla (18 miles), to Parawadi (18 . miles). This 'town contains 8,000 inhabitants, and•is situated in a valley among rocks, on the river Suntanlar, in a pic tuiesque country, and it is here that the mountains may be said to begin. The road tlsetice is very, much over grown with under wood, and continues during foui. hours through a forest, and through the pass .Kadir Derbend, to Aidos (31 milts), 'and thence 27' mile; fur ther again throrigh a fOrest to Fakih; where the traveller dray be said to have left the mountains in the rear.—, Aidos is situated on the southern declivity of Mount Mangelle, which is separated from Mount Httuus by a deep valley. At all these' pikes telip of horses may be had, until you arrive at Kirkilisse, from whence you are obliged to go-the last 90 miles to Constantinople with the same horses. This last stage generally re quires three, aometimes four days. The places you stop at for the night ire either Karisteran and 13ivadus, or Busgas r Tschorlu, and Bivados. From Silivri the road runs along the shore, through Bivados, Bujuk-Tschek rnedsche, or Great Bridge (so called on account of a bridge built over the KorAt, begun by Solyman and finished by Selirn II.) and KutschukTschekmedsche, or Little Bridge,.all the way to the capital. The last nine or ten miles of the road is paved. The %%hole of • theroad fromltustschuck to Constantinople is somewhat about to 230 miles ; from Parawadi, where the Balkan Mountains may be said to commence, 176 miles.; and from Fakih, where the Balkan Mountains may be said to have been passed, 120 miles. - In a military point of view, there are two principal roads, 'leading almost parallel to each other, from the Danube below Rustschuck to Constantinople. Of these the one further to the east is the better and the more frequented, which is probably the reason why the Rus sians have, in the present war, made choice of it for their line of operations, The roads from Hirsowa, Bral. low, Isaczi, and Ismail fun into it; after which it passes by Trajan's Wall, and through Basardschick to Par a wadi, where it joins the main road from Rustschuck, described above. There are two other roads still fur ther eastward; one cf them so bad as scarcely to be passable, runs almost the whole of the way to Constan tinople, along the sea shore; the other runvin the mid dle, as it were, of the other two, and terminates at Varna. It would be likely to prove useful to an in vading army, for the march of light columns. From Kirkilisse a bye road leads to Constantinople, over the Strandschea Mountains, a branch of the Balkan, and firming, together with the latter, the skeleton of the 'fbracian pe ninsula . Basardschick is situated on the banks of the Taban, a tributary of the Danube, in a marshy plain, 96 miles from the Black Sea ; it contains about 6,000 inhabitants:- Kirkilisse contains between 7,000 and 8,000, and is situated in a highly cultivated country. The second main road consists of three branches, leading from Rustschuck, Turtnkay, and Silistria ; the two first unite at Rasgard, and that from Silistria joins the others at Shumla. This place is situated on the de clivity of a rocky Mountain, at the foot of the Balkan. During the wars between Russia and the Porte, Shumla was usually the place of rendezvous of the Turkish army, i pnd consequently often the scene of sanguinary encounters. From Sharpie the road passes over the mountains, through Smedova, Tschalikavak, Dobrol, Karnabat, Aftan, j'apaskju,'Bujukderbensl, A kbunar, and Adria nople, or 'Edrene. There is another bye-road from Rustschuck, through Osman Bazar uud Kasim to Kai.- oabat. In Araba-Burgas, the mien road descending from Kirkilisse unites with the one just mentioned, the, distance between Edrene and Aruba-Burgas being about forty-five miles. But it must be remembered, that the distances here given may frequently not•be exactly cor rect, for it can scarcely be probable, as it would ap pear from the above statement, that there can be a dif ference of sitiy-eight miles in the length of the two main roads. It is however certain, that the road by Adrianople which, after crossing the mountains, runs along the valley of the Maritza. is not oaly longer, but decidedly worse than that through Kirkilisse. The Austrian road, which passes through Nissa and Sophia, joins that from Rustschuck at Adrianople, but is also so very bad that the Austrian couriers usually prefer going round by Rustichuck and Bucharest. Adrianople, Andrinople, or Edrene, is, next to Con stantinople, the largest city in European Turkey. It contains about 100,000 inhabitants, his a wall and a ditch round if, 'Aimed to a fdrtile Plain s sarrocided by' [PRICE SEVENPiNCE. meadows, at the confluence of the Tund s cha and Arda, with the Maritza. The city is commanded 6n the wes tern side by a square fort; it contains many very eaten sive gardens, two bridges over the Maritza, and many interesting specimens of architecture, among which the Bazar of Ali Pacha deserves particular mention. The trade carried on here is considerable, serving as a kind of intermediate point between the east and the west. The above-mentioned main roads are again united by many cross roads, of which the principal is one leading to Varna ; of less importance ate those from Karnabat to Aidos and Fakih, from Mill to Adrianople, from Adrianople to Kirkilisse. The northern districts of European Turkey, inhabited more by Bulgarians than by Turks, are much better cultivated, contain a greater number of villages, and are, consequently, more fertile than those nearer Con stantinople, where the Turkish part of the population is more numerous, but where the soil consists generally either of sand or clay, and where siz pair of horses are frequ'ently required for one plough. In addition to this, the Turks are indolent, and averse toigriculture. From Araba-Burgas till within a short distance of the capital, there is mot% land tying waste than in cultivation, so that the eye ur hurt by an absence of vegetation, pecan Flatly striking to one accustomed to the highly cultivated landscapes of civilized Europe. STATE PAPER. TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES Or AIIIRICA AND THE HANS TOWNS.
