Within these few days unfavourable news from the theatre of war has been received in this town. The fol lowing statement appears to be nearest the truth : General Rudtewitsch was ordered to cover with the 3d corps the movements of the Russian army from Schumla to Silistria, where it was to cover the 6th corps, under General Roth, and that under Prince Scherhatoff. In this retreat General Rudzewitsch is said to have been closely pqrsued aPd at'acked by Hussein Pacha in per son. The Russians are said to have lost say men, and a great part of their baggage. In consequence of the illness of Prince ScherbatPff, C ,, unt Langeron had the chief command of the troops besieging Silistria; but the dreadful weather, the over- Bowing of the rivers, the rain, and uninterrupted storms of snow, obliged the Generals to raise the siege of Silistria. All the cattle has perished, the greater part of the artillery is lost, and the troops have been ez • oseJ t r the greatest privationg. The campaign is consiJered to be finished.—Austrian ,Observer. _ _ _ JASSY. Nov. 20. We learn that the command of Varna has been con fided to General "Roth, who has a garrison of 6,000 men. The Turks again begin to show themselves in the environs of that place. The new Grand Vizier is at Pravadi. All the Russian troops are in full march towards the Danube; their retreat is impeded by the incleme:lcy of a most rigorous seaton, and all sorts of unfavourable accounts are invented and published re specting them.

We have great pleasure in laying before our readers the following Addrese, presented to the Right Hon. l Lord William Cavendish B:niinck,G.C.B. and G.C.H. on 04 occasion of his Lordship's arrival at this Presi dency, on his voyage to assume the Supreme Govern ment of India, by the Native Inhabitants, and the kind and condescending Reply which twat benevolent and esteemed Nobleman returned— to rim mom um LOOM WILLIAM C. summit, GOVIIIIIOII.OIIIBRAL or Tilt LAST MILL " Dlr Loan—When the inhabitants of Madras had the good fortune and honour of being protected and patronised by your Lordship, when Governor of this Presidency, they experienced the gond effects of your liberal policy, and your pious and clutritabk disposition towards the poor and every class of the community, particularly during the dearth of 1803 and 1804; as, by the exer tions of those exalted qualities, the di.tressed villagers had been all provided with the means' qf support, and bad been thus rescued from an untimely dissolution, resulting from starvation and despair, to fhe utter disappointment of the uncharitable and ambitious hopes of the grain-dealers, when rice was ordered to be supplied from Calcutta, by your Lordship's command, which was gratui_ tously distributed to the poor, and sold to others at a moderate rate ; thereby effectually providing a remedy against the inseparable consequences of such an awful uisitation as the one adverted to. "This act of your Lordship's benevolence bad not only thus saved many thousands of lives, but had contributed to the security of the public revenues—the result of a wise policy ; for 'Jading your Lordship then pitied the miserable state of the country, and - pro. witted the dying population with the means of support, the environs of )Isalras and the countries dependent thereon would have been totally deserted, and thereby the resources of Government must have suffered most materially. " These considerations excited our admiration and gratitude in no small degree, and have impressed us with no less attachment for your Lordship's amiable virtues and good win towards us; and, in again exyressing our sentiments of unfeigned respect for your Lord ship, we exult in the happy occasion of your nomination to the high station, in the choice of the Authorities at home, to rule the des tinies of India, alike to the benefit and interests of its subjects, and to the advantage and satisfaction of a grateful Sovereign. That Goo may be with you wherever you are, protecting your Lordship against all dangers, preserving your health, and prolonging your life with happiness, is the most sincere and fervent wish of Your Lordship's most grateful and obedient servants, (Here follow the signatures of above 240 persons). " Madras, June 27.18210 111 S LORDSHIP'S REPLY. "TO THE NATIVI INHABITANTS or MADRAS.

Be assured that in me you shall always find the same age*. tionate friend, ready and determined, if calamity shall assail you, to come down with all the power of the empire to your relief, and most anxious to promote, by every possible means, the happiness and welfare of the whole Indian population.

S3IYRNA, Nov. 3.

" GEORGE DON, General and Lieut. Governor. " Gibraltar, Nov. 24." By the Algemeine Zeitung we have accounts this mailing from C .nstantinople to the 14th ult. The non arrival of the corn vessels from Alexandria had ocea sioned some anxiety in the capital for their safety. The admiration of all classes has been excited by the noble defence the GRAND VIZIER made at Yarns, and every exertion, as far as the season will permit, is to be made by that brave Officer for its re capture. The exertions making for the prosecution of the war during winter, is continued without inter mission, and quantities of troops are arriving from Asia Minor, who immediately proceed to the theatre of w.t. The following are extracts: VIENNA, No•. 2S. The mail from Constantinople of the lOth Inst. is arrived. In the capital there were reports of victories said to have been gained by the Tanks in the environs of Schumla, and by which the Rua elan troops were stated to have been compelled to retreat towards Silistria. The Turks now flatter themselves that they shall recover Varna, and the Grand Vizier is said to have sent fresh troops to Pravadi, to operate against Varna. It is said, however, that the snow is four feet even about Adrianople, so that it is not probable that any thing serious can be undertaken against Varna. Though scarcity of provisions begins already to be felt in Con stantinople, and great anxiety is felt for the arrival of the convoy (said to be 120 ships) expected from Alexandria with corn, which l i is very likely to be stopped by the Russians at the Dardanelles, the Sultan seems more bent on war than ever, and not in Ihe least dis posed to give way. The fate of the convoy may therefore be of great importance. Great confidence was felt in the ability and en. terprising spirit of the new Grand Vialer,and it was hoped he would relieve Minds. ( We know here at Vienna, by letters from Odessa of the 21st. that the siege of Silistria has really been raised in con. sequence of rains and inundations, followed by severe frosts). A French courier had arrived at Constantinople. We daily expect tbc return of Baron Labezeltern from Paris. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 13. The consternation which the certainty of the fall of Varna bad at first spread among all classes of people has passed away, and is sue.' ceeded by admiration for the brave defender of that place, and fresh hopes, which are excited by his elevation to the rank of Grand' Vizier. The calmness and energy of the Government, the firmnes s of the Sultan, whp is said to be resolved to continue the war during the winter, when the Turkish armies usually disperse, and the zeal of the nation, remains unchanged. The military armaments are prosecuted with increased activity; troops daily arrive from Asia Minor, and those of Tchapan Oglou, one of the most powerful of the hereditary tributary Princes of Asia Minor, which passed through a few days ago, were remarked fur their fine appearance and arms, and the beauty of their horses. This corps, of about twelve thousand, immediately continued its march to the a iheatre of war, notwithstanding the bad weather. It is wholirowing to the bad weather that we have heard no more of military operations since the fall of Varna, and the unsuccessful attempts of the Russians against the positions on the Kamtschik. The setting lu of the winter. during which the Black Sea is generally agitated by violent tempests, having dispelled all apprehensions of attempts at landing troops by the Russian fleet, the Sultan has ordered the ships of war, hitherto stationed before the Bosphorus, to rt. turn to Constantinople. Part .f them. it is said, will go to the Hellespont. Not only the Grand Visier, but Omer Vrione and Hunan Paella, are disgraced and banished. The Sultan is still in Ramis Tcheflik.—Algetasina Zeitmwg, Dec. 4. A Flanders Mail has brought us the Brussels Papers of yesterday's close.

It is a memoir on the pacification of Greece, presented by the Russian Cabinet to the Powers 4 emposing the Holy Akiliance in the winter of 1823. (aka this document ia extremely lungs sod not even yet concluded, we extract only a few passages): " As there are in the Ottoman Empire separate principalities, whkh if not created, have at least been voluntarily retained by the Turkish Sovereigns, and as by taking due precautions against the abuses which ruin Moldavia and Wallachia, it would be possible, with the privileges originally guaranteed to those provinces, to secure to them all she prosperity and tranquillity which they eau enjoy—the Cabinet of his Imperial Majesty would propose to form in Continental Greece principalities like those upon the Danube. ‘• These principalities might be three in number, as the groin. phical position of Greece would seem to indicate. " The brat would comprehend Tbessaly, Lelia, Attica, and Eastern Greece. " The second would include that part of the coast formerly be longing to Venice which has not been given up to Austria, of Epirus, Acarnania, or Western Greece. " The third would be composed of the hforea,or Southern Greece, to which the island of Candia might be annez.:4l. " As for the islands of the Archipelago, they would be subjected to a municipal Government, which would, in fact, be only the re newal and regulation of the privileges which they have possessed for two centuries. These arrangements, the motives and advan tages of which the Russian Cabinet will develops in the sequel, would be accompanied by some other general stipulations. The Porte would retain the sovereignty over all these countries —it would not send Pachas or Governors, but would receive an nual tribute, which should be now fixed, according to the resources of each island and principality. All public offices should be filled by natives; and, in general, the Porte should maintain with Greece' and the Archipelago the same relations as with Moldavia and Wal lachia. The Principalities and d reek Glands should enjoy entire !then? of ebmnserce, and receive from the Porte the right to have 1 their own Rag. " The Principalities and the Wands would be, u it were, re. l presented at the Court of the &titan by the Patriarch of Constan tinople, who would reside in that capital, and enjoy the protection of the law of nation, in the same manner as the Agents of the Princes of Wallachia. The Porte would keep a garrison in a certain number of fortresses, round which a tract of country should be allotted. whence the Turkish troops should draw their supplies, but not be allowed to make incursions into the surrounding country. " Lastly., the results of this negotiation should be placed under the guarantee of all the Allied Courts a or of such of them as should be willing to contract this engagement."—Brsiswis Pbpers, Dec. 10.

This part of the prologue was received with loud applause. The play is not the most moral chit could be put into the hands of young Gent!erne% We have tao old men of repulsive or worthless charac• tors—the one a sort of miserly, irtitable, and unsocial being—the other gay and social, but the abettor or some of the strongest passions that beset youth ; two females of loose morals ;•it servant that would minister to the licentious passions of his young master ; and another character, of a still more revolting description, one who wculd minister to the passions of any one that paid him. There is a great excuse, however, for producing the piece, as there are so few ancient plays that are not equally blameable, and the conclusion of the Addp/ii maser some amends for the licentious cbarac ter s int,uduce,l is o it. On the whole it was very well perforated. Syr us (t servant) pe• formed his part admirably. The expression his countenance—his familiarity with his superiors— the facility with which he performed his patt—aod the proper emphasis which he gave to the words—sliorteil that he had formed a correct idea of the atwitter. The other servant ( Gek ) was not much behind him The scene beta iat him and Sostrata, in the Sd act. de servedly excited great applause. He telt a natural ia• dignation for the insult which had been offereJ to lilt mistress, and expressed it with much feeling and effect. His great object seemed to be, t s vent on the whole family his rage before it evapor •ted.
