WARSAW, MAT 1. IT WARM. The following bulletin has just been received, dated from the Camp before Silistria, 10th (22d) May. The preparations for the siege continue to be made with the utmost activity ; the enemy remains quiet, and seldom disturbs even our out posts, a hick are stationed at only 300 fathoms from the counterscarp of the place. Dispatches have just been recelied frearGeneral Roth, informing us of important advantages gained over the Turks led on by the Grand Vizier in person. The later had left Schumla with the intention of attacking 'Pre wadi. General Roth had given orders for the concen tration of the various corps, at the head of which he in tended to march into the field ; but the battalions did not all arrive in time at the place of rendezvous on the road to E•ki-Arnautlar, five vents from Pravadi. Only era battalions, with 12 field pieces. and 100 Cossacks, were assembled, yet the Gland Vizier, not venturing to leave this feeble force on his flank, determined upon attacking them. On the sth (17th) of May, at half past three a. m. he advanced towards Eski-Arnautlar, at the head of 15,000 men, infantry and cavalry. The handful of brave fellows stationed there were in a him ment surrounded and attacked by an enemy loUt times their own number. The It giments Selenguin.k, Uchotsk. and Yskoutsk, bafftd, during five hours, every attempt by the Turks to break through their lines. Towards 9 o'clock Major Gen. Wachten arrived to their assistance from Devito, with four nattalions, four pieces of artillery, and two regiments of Cossacks. Their appearance dispersed the enemy's cavalry, and the Grand Vizier seemed disposed to abandon his enter. prise, falling back two versts into the valley or Nevtsha. The affair appeared at an end, when the Turks receiv ing a reinfoicement of 10,000 men, Redschid Pacha resolved once more to attempt the fortune of battle. About three p.m. 4,000 Turkish cavalry advanced to. wards the heights, situated between our corps and the city of Pravadi. it being evidently their intention to pass round the left fl ink of General Roth. The•latter thought it his duty to oppose this movement, and ad. vaned against the Turkish cavalry, at the head of the Ochotsk regiment. the 31st Chasseurs, and 6 pieces of artillery, supported by a battalion of the Yakoutsk re giment, another of the 32d Chasseurs, and 4 field pieces. In an instant the Ochoisk regiment and the 31st were surrounded by the enemy's horse. whose numbers ap peared to increase, and the whole of the Turkish in fantry advanced, supported by the fire of 10 pieces of artillery. The enemy, encouraged by their immense superiority in numbers, furiously attacked. our square, and might easily have destroyed the Ochoisk regiment, if Colonel Lischin, hastening to its assistance, at the head of the 32d re4iment. had not rushed up..st the enemy's ma•ses, which were at the same time taken in flank by the Yakoutsk Regiment. The combat was kept up for some time longer with unexampled fury; but. notwlhstanding the disproportion of force, our troops did not yield a foot of ground. At length, at about eight in the evening, the Grand Vizier abandoned his plan, and retired into the valley of Nortsha. The loss of the enemy was immense; 2,000 remained upon the field of battle. We have also to lament the loss of Major-General Rinden ; and our loss in killed and wounded amounts to nearly 1,000 men. During the night our little corps was reinforced by two battalions and four field-pieces from Devno, and six battalions and 12 &id• pieces from Bazardjik; and on the follow ing day the Grand Vizier abandoned his plan altoge ther, and retired to Schumla. Thus ended. to the enemy's discomfiture, an enterprise, the success of which they seemed to consider as certain. P.S. A courier has just arrived from Admiral Greig. with news that the Turkish fleet which had en tered the Black Sea had hastened back to the Bosphorus. on learning that our fleet was going to meet it. im mediately after the hasty retreat of the enemy, the Com mander of the Russian fleet reinforced the squadrati stationed off the Channel of Constantinople, and ordered some ships to cruise on the coasi of Natoli*. About 20 Turkish transports fell into our hands, and a new frigate was set on fire by our squadron near Schilli, not fa frum the Bosphorus. After this, Admiral Greig re. tired to Sizeboli, from which place this report is dated. ALIXANDRIA, AWL t 5.

The Corrrier contains the following article from Constantinople, of the 26th of April : " Preparations are making in the palaces of the French and English Ambassadors, which satisfy the public that they will soon return. This will be a real blessing for the whole population of Constantinople, for the Turks, the Rayas, and the Franks will consider it a• a security for the future, and hope that a state of things will then cease which threatens gradually to ruin all the public and private interests which have taken root in the East. Peace, which is so much desired, would be welcomed here with enthusiaam. As the time ap proaches which is to put an end to so many storms public gratitude carefully inquires, after the names of those prudent and enlightened men to whom tiie result may be justly ascribed. It • particularly distinguishes M. Jaubert, the diplomatiC agent 01 France, whose mo deration and dignity in the esecution of his missi. , n have caused tranquillity and forbearance to take the place of irrita , ion and dissension. M. Jaubei t goes from time to time to the Porte, and it is generally be lieved that he has already negotiated with the Reis Ef tench several subordinate questions which are likely to, occur in discussing the concessions to be made to the, Greeks."

He then proceeds to an intete.ting dot il, the substance of which can be gathered Ir. m the following detached extracts: s. 644 The fate of Ibis celebrated French navigator, which fdF sp. ward. of forty years has remained enveloped in mystery, has at "length been satklacturily tained, a result that is owing to the active and spitited exertions of our gallant mid enterprising countryman, Captain Dillon. The success that has attended the efforts or Captain Dillon has excited, as may readily be (ma. gilled, a great sensation in France, and attempts have been made by a Captain LE erville. after Captain Dillon kit it, to wrest from hint the merit of the di.covery. It appears that the latter Gentleman, furnished with authentic particulars and every infornt.t.on by Captain Dillon visited six months the Wend on which the French ships, the Buus sole and L'Astrulabe, were liiir, and etected,a munu ment to the ntemdry of his unfortunate countrymen So far we areiriclined to-accord to him every degree of praise; y et we cannot but censure any attempt made by an individual to arrogate to him. self that merit, which 'We are convinced so dimly and deservedly belongs to another. We can adduce no better proof in itlustrstion of our assertions, than. the . results of a late visit which Captain Dillon made to the Court of France, where he was most graciously received by his Majesty Charles the Tenth, who has been pleased to confer on him the Order of the Legion of Honour, to grant him a sum of 40,4100 francs, and an annual pension'of 4,000. In evi dence of the success of his researches, Captain Dillon took with him many articles obtained from the island of Manicolo; among which were five brats cannon, a ship's bell, wish the letter., 'Banos Mole Colson il C Bozon Marbrone," a bras. mortar, some ship's iron. knees, a frigate's rudder, braces, pencils, tiller, five hand or table bells, plate, and various other article., all of French manufacture, many of which were stamped with fieur-de-lls, and evidently be longing to the ships of La Fermate. His Majesty interrogated hint 1 as to the navigation of the South Seas, and inquired i' it were pos 'Male that any persons belonging to that expedition were yet sur viving in any of the islinds, as he entertained an idea en fitting nut a new expedition to ascertain that fact. Captain Dillon expressed his opinion that it was very probable some of the crew might be residing on the Stillman Island. We are enabled to add that a Gentleman is ac present resident at Paris, namely. the Vicomte Lesser, who was landed troth the Boussole, in 1787, and pro. creded overland, by way of Kanstsehatka and Siberia, with dis patches from La Pawnee to else French Government. This Gen. tkman inspected the articles brought hoine' by Captain Dillon, many or which he appeared to recognize, pal ticularly a small mill. stone, used in grinding corn.' .
