The well-directed fire of our artillery, which was ad vantageoudy posted—the movement of the 36th and 87th Yagen, which, supported by the whole of the infantry of the 18th division, under the command of Major-General PrinceGortshakolf, marched from one side upon the town, sad from the other on the enemy's right wing, in order to tarn him; and, finally, the movement of the cavalry, by which the enemy was in danger of baying his retreat upon Karnabat cut off, began to produce confusion in the Turkish columns, on which a general attack was at this mo ment directed. The town was taken, and the enemy, after an obstinate contest of three hours, completely defeated and driven into the mountains along the Karnabat and Shumla roads, whereby be lost 1,000 men in killed and wounded. A number of dead bodies which were found in the town, and on the ground where our new camp Is pitched, were on the same day buried. We took from the enemy seven officers, MID privates, timepieces of cannon, and four standards, which last I have the bawler to lay at the feet of your Imperial Majesty. Our loss alooonto to about 100 men. " In Aides we have fond amailwalis supplies of every kind, and, in particular, 6004este, ddebeesels of powder, 236 carioca boxes, 10 gen.carrispe, and about MOO balk and other artillery projectiles, caress ansimaing mole, a great stock of hay, and a magazine oontifinisen Wendt. and abaft 3,600 new military cloaks for the troops. I have also the pleasure of informing your jesty that we have Wand in Aidos the cannon belonging to our 19th artillery brigade, which was lost in the battle of Kurtepe, on the 111th (30th) of September, last year, but which has not been used by the enemy. " On the 14th (26th), Major General Shiroff's Cossacks occupied Karnabat, where they took 40 prisoners, and on the 16th (26th) General Rudiger's corps entered that town. " A division, consisting of the sth Regiment of the Black Sea Cossacks, and the Archduke Ferdinand's Hussars, under the com mand of Major Gen. Montresor, occupied the small village of Russo Kastro, thus obtaining a strong position near Karabunar, and establishing communications on the right with Gen. liudiger, and on the left with the Cossacks of the Baklannif regiments, who be longed to the garrison of Bourgas, and who have posts on the Bourgas road towards Paki. Several troops of blajor•General Shindr's Cossacks are reconnoitring the Yambol and Slivno roads, along which the enemy fled. " It is with much pain I feel myself bound to inform your Ma jesty of the oppression which the unfortunate inhabitants of the country have had to endure from the flying enemy. All the Chris tian churches in Aidos are destroyed, while we have carefully spared the mosques. The Turks plunder all the inhabitants who are un able to escape, while we are their defenders and protectors. In deed, on the day after our arrival, the people of the town were seen returning on all sides from the woods and the mountains with their loaded carts to their houses. Were it possible always to pursue the enemy, this cruelty might be partially prevented.— That, however, circumstances do not on all occasions permit. Kar nabat is also ruined ; and when our Cossacks approached the town 300 of the inhabitants came out to meet them, and hailed them as their deliverers. At all events, it is to be hoped that such of the inhabitants am are still dispersed will return to their homes, and that the harvest, which has been begun, will be completely got in by them. and a sufficient supply for our winter quarters thereby pro vided. my ; and always cultivating the arta, went to reiinvigorate himself in Italy. when languor seized upon his soul and melancholy intelli gence overwhelmed it with despair.

A severe From the Singdpore Chronicle of the Ist of January. The Reaper, Capt. Rind, arrived six days ago, from Manilla the 12th of December. The most interesting article of intelligence by her is that of rather a violent earthquake, which happened there on the 9th of last month. It occurred at half-past six in the evening. The motion seemed to come from the south, and was undulating, causing a rolling and creaking in the houses like that experienced in a ship at sea; though less in degree, it is to be presumed. The hanging lamps moved like pendulums, swing ing about four feet at each vibration. Our informant mentions that he was lighting a cigar at a lamp, which suddenly moved away from him ; be thought its motion caused by his having touched it with the brim of his hat, but was undeceived at the next undula• don. when the chairon which he stood was, with himself, overset upon the floor; upon which he rushed into the street, where be found the inhabitants (according to their custom on such occa sions) upon their knees. A gentleman, passing through the town in a buggy, observed the water in the gutters first running one way and then the other, and not feeling the earthquake, owing to the motion of the vehicle, was at a low to account for so strange a phenomenon, until he observed the people falling on their knees, and had himself alighted. The motion caused the massive gates of the Puenta Grande, one of the entrances of the city, to swing upon their binges, so that a gentleman passing at the time thought that there were men pushing them from behind. The earthquake lasted three minutes, according to some, whilst others say only two. It caused the bells in the steeples to ring as if they had been tolled by the hands of men. After the earthquake, the river rose to as great a height as in the rainy season, and over flowed the low ground in its vicinity, and the next morning it fell below Its usual level in the same proportion as the previous even ing it had risen above it. The ships felt the shock severely, as if it were something knocking on their bottoms. With all this, how ever, we are happy to learn, that not much damage was done to the buildings, and that no lives were lost. Arches of two of the churches were broken down, and some of the buttresses of another thrown down : the prison for debtors received some injury, and a number of houses were cracked in different places. economy, and unexpected reforms. were substituted for the im provident luxury of the excellent Maximilian, -Ms father.

King Louis has created in the South a rival so Berlin ; and in the midst of the learned world to which he gives life and animation, has submitted himself, as an author, wiliour pretensions, to the criticism of the public. He offers to it. with confidence. his " Annuli sj Good novilds." It is thus that his book is called ; and as such it should be received. They are the fruits of the studies of a good King. In our announcing them to-day we do not intend either to pass a judgment on them, nor to enter into the curious details which belong to them, and which a very natural curiosity leads us to de sire. We intend only to pay a first homage to the Royal poet. — Hereafter shall be given a judgment as free and as severe as we should pass upon the most obscure writer. German criticism bas not wounded a modest feeling which was before sufficiently humble. Foreign criticism, we must hope, will not be more unfortunate.— If, however, the recollection of our defeats should excite in our minds any pique against the indignation of the German patriot, and against the anathemas which he launches against our arms, we can easily forgive it. The same dislike to foreign domination lives in the heart of every Frtnchnian. The same curses escape from them again.t traitors; and at the present moment more than ever, when nor wounds have been intentionally re-opened, when a single name ha. revived all our resentments. Let our readers then pardon us, if, in a choice made at random, some of these pieces should fall iato our bands. We wish to render them acquainted with the poet, and it is patriotism (which is often inspired) which is the best poetry.—(Theft follow. ti translation). From the Courtier des Chambres.

The black immediately took two pieces of bark with sharp points, which he lighted, and rubbed, or rather drilled, into the wound,until be made a consider able cavity. He then plucked some of the soft wool of an op possum, and stuffed into it, singeing the projecting fur smooth off with the skin, which process he declared was sufficient to prevent any evil consequence.

SUPPLEMENTARY RUSSIAN BULLETIN. " The Commander-in-Chief of the second army, Count Die bitsch, has transmitted to his Majesty the Emperor, from Aldo', where the head quarters were on the 18th (50th) of July, the fol lowing details, as a supplement to the Count's report, dated July 12 (24), which has not been received by his Majesty, and in which was given an account of the taking of the fortresserof Messembria, Achiolas, and I3ourgas, situated on the Gulf of Bourgas. " After the fortresses on the Gulf of Bumps had, one after the other, submitted to your Majesty's victorious troops, and the com mander of those fortresses, Abdurrahman Pacha of three horse tails, Pad sought his safety by flying towards Adrianople, as I had the honour to state to your Majesty in my report of the 12th (24th) of this month, I ordered, on the same day, General Rafter, with his corps, which formed the van-guard, and which was supported by the 6th corps, to direct his march by the way of Rumilikioi upon Aidos, and to take possession of the latter town. - - - - - " On the 13th (25th) a dispatch was received from Lieutenant- General Ponca. announcing that, after leaving Sisipolis with the Kanuschatka and Dnieper regiments, a company of pioneers, two pieces of cannon, and 50 Cossacks, he directed his march towards the Turkish intrenchments in Asia, and, ending them unoccupied, he ;twitted the enemy. At the bay of Chingankale be came up with the enemy's rear-guard, and took four pieces of cannon, which the Turks were compelled to leave behind them. " 1 On the 15th (25th), about five in the afternoon, General Re diger fell in with the Turkish outposts about four versts from Aidos. Some of the prisoners taken by the Cossacks stated, that after we had raised our camp before Shumla, the Grand Vizier re mained long ignorant of the direction our army had taken, and that it did not become known to him until all the passages over the Kamptshik were in our possession. On the Bth (20th) be de tached a corps of between 10,000 and 12,000 men to drive us out of Kirprikiui and Dervish-Yovan. However, as his troops, in order to accomplish their march over the Balkan, were under the necessity of making a oide circuit through the village of Chenga, where the road was altogether impracticable for heavy artillery, this movement upon Chenga could not be effected until the 11th (23d), when the van-guard, consisting entirely of cavalry, arrived at Beloff and Sutyuluff. As is already known to your Majesty, the fortresses on the Gulf of liourgas were in our power on the 11th and 12th (23d and 24th), and the Cossacks sent out from General Rudiger's corps were already patrolling the road to Aidos. The rapid and unexpected appearance of our troops obliged the Grand Vizier to abandon his first plan, and to order the corps to march In all haste towards Aidos, which be in tended himself to defend to the last extremity. The corps com manded by Ibrahim Pacha of three talk, with two other Pathos under him, was stated to consist of nine regiments of regular in fantry, 1,500 regular cavalry, and 1,500 delis or irregular cavalry, with three pieces of cannon. This intormation of the prisoners was confirmed by our spies, with the addition that the enemy expected considerable reinforcements, which the Grand Vizier was in per son to bring from Shumla. " In order to avail himself of these favourable circumstances before the arri►al of she Grand Vizier.. General Rudiger continued his movement upon Aida). He, however. found himself suddenly attacked by a mass of cavalry with such impetuosity that his Cos sacks were obliged to give way. The General immediately ordered the ttd brigade of the 4th Hulan division, and four pieces of horse artillery, under the command of Major-General Sheremetleff, to support the Cossacks, and after a severe action, the enemy, net. withstanding the superiority of his force, was driven from the field of batik, and pursued towards Aidos. " The enemy's infantry occupied the town in strong columns bad taken positions on the other side of it, between the Karnaba g , and Shumla roads, and had prepared themselves for a vigorous re. FRENCH PAPERS. From Me Gazette de France, Aug. 26. OFFICIAL NEWS FROM CONSTANTINOPLE. " The French Government has received intelligence from Con. stantinople np to the slit August. In the accounts 'reeved not one word Is said of the great victory reported to have been gamed by th. Russians at the distance of twenty leagues from Constantinople, yet the news of this victory is said to have reached Vienna on the 12th instant ; the battle must then have taken place, and the result must have been known In Constan tinople, previously to be 7th instant, the date of the dispatches received. The news of the battle of Kirk- Ulna was conveyed to Munich by a Russian Minister, the Count Potemkin, who says that he got it froMTatisch eff, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna. There can be little doubt now of its being an invention. However, the ac. counts from Constantinople speak of the uneasiness that reigns in that capital, and of the dread of the arrival of the Russians at Adria nople. The accounts hkewite state that the old Janissaries,who were at Erzeroum, revoked on the approach of the Russians, and that without doubt the revolt greatly facilitated the taking of the fortress. It is added, that this is the worst feature in the late events ; and the truth of this observation may be very dell conceived, for should the ex..lanissaries in the other parts of the empire follow the ex ample of their brethren at Erzeroum, it may lead to the most fatal consequences. The Prussian agent, Muffling, had arrived at Con stantinople. Gen. GuiUeminot was unwell. " The negotiations with the Porte had taken a favourable turn, and the Ambassadors had hopes of succeeding in their mission; but this, of comae, could have no effect upon the war with Rus sia, that being quite a distinct question from that of the settlement of Greece. " Much has been said here within the last few days of the en trance of Admiral Malcolm into the Black Sea, hut the accounts received by the Government here state that the English Admir al was at Ipsara on the 9th inst. it is added that he was then Mil.. ing to keep the crews of his vessels in good health. " It is nut true that the Ministry of Police is to be re-establish ed and confided to M. de Villele." Toutaix, Aug. 16.—The frigate Clurinde, and the brigs Adonis and Alerte, had scarcely anchored in the roads of Toulon on their return from Algiers,wheu what had taken place respecting the ship Provence, was communicated to the Ministry by telegraph. Seve ral dispatches were tratismiued by :he same channel to Paris, and from Paris to Toulon, and the order was at length given for the sailing of the bomb ketches, but the weather did not allow of their going out. The ship of the line Scipio, the frigate Syrene, and some other vessels, will follow the bomb ketches without delay; they are to go first to Mahon to join the flotilla which Is in that direction. If the bombardment does not dispose the lky to come to an arrangement, it appears that there is a determination to send ageitut him an expedition of 25 or 30,000 men next spring. Our roads are at the present moment full of life and movement ; the arrivals have been numerous during this month—more than twenty men of war are at anchor either at the Lazaretto or io the Little Roads: amongst these vessels are the Russian frigate Con stantine, the Russian corvette Lionne, and the Russian transport Soucounibe-Caled. From eight to ten vessels are repairing or getting ready for sea. From the Globe. Among the Monarchs of Europe, who are in general old and unfriendly to new ideas, there is a King in the flower of youth, who places confidence in the intelligence and philosophy of his age. His education has nut partaken of the education of Courts. He has lived, like a student in the Universities, amidst men of science and learning—be has traversed the Continent with the eye of a curious observer and of a poet—he has sought every where for experience and generous ideas ; in a word, he has studied how to act the King, as if he were going to exercise an art. or to profess a science; or, to speak more properly, as if be were going to fulfil a priesthood. His religious and tender soul has risen day by day to a higher notion of its duties, and he has prepared himself by deep meditation for the proper discharge of them. Thus he has cast a new lustre upon Bavaria almost be fore he has taken his seat upon the throne. Germany has re cognised hi him a real German Prince ; fur .be saw him formerly sharing in her misfottunes. indignant at her slavery, and dis graced on that very account by the Emperor Napoleon. When the heroic, youth of the Universities followed the example which France had already set to the world, and relinquished their studies to repel the foreigner, philosophising end Urging verses by the fire of the blvou.c, and is the midst of batteries, Louis, Prince of Bavaria, thougb it a distance, and almost a prisoner, participated in their devotion, and envied Korner his death ou the field of battle. Afterwards. in more tranquil rinses, hoping for the establishment of liberty, as if he had been the humblest subjeet of the Kings of wlicioi be was soon to be the equal, he sighed (or the establishment of reforli and tconos There have been published, within the last few days, certain in accurate details of what passed in the Chamber of Peers in 1815, immediately after the second restoration. A Journal attributes i t . the Duke of Orleans an answer to the famous categories delivered by M. de Bourdoonaye in the Chamber of Deputies. If we can trust our memory—and we have reason to think it is very faithful —a most violent debate sprung up In the Chamber of Peers at the epoch of which we are speaking; and the Duke of Orleans, who sat there with the other *bees of the blood, distinguished him • self by an opposition worthy of every Frenchman. It was forbidden in the French Journals to speak of that memo rable sitting ; and new it would be almost as a thing that bad not passed before the public, if the hatred which is borne to the new Ministry had not constrained the press to dive into the past, to en lighten France upon the future which is preparing for it. Reiser taking his seat in the Chamber of Peers, the Duke of Orleans, it is said, acquainted the King's Government, in the per son of the Duke of Richelieu, that there were three points on which he would always give his vote in the negative : first, political ven geance and re-action; second, the exclusion of those Peers •f France who were declared stunted by a Royal Ordinance; and third, the division of the French territory by the Allies. The Prince added, that upon these points he would make the most energetic declarations. The Duke de Richelieu replied, that upon the fist and third points the Ministry perfectly agreed with his Serene Highness, and would vote with him in case it were necessary. The Duke of Orleans took his seat. Soon afterwards there was a debate upon the Address. A phrase supported in the bureau by influential personages, and in which a re-action was demanded, was proposed as an Amendment. The Duke of Orleans opposed it with great energy in an extempore speech, which produced an extraordinary and unparalleled agita tion In the Chamber. A violent discussion took place between Count Ferrand and Count Lanjuinais, not to name other speakers. The Duke ?datthieu de Mostmorenci found means to terminate the debate by a maneuvre quite Parliamentary, for which the Prince complimented him. When they came to vote on the Amendment, by holding up the hand, hi de Richelieu, and the Ministers generally, kept their word. The Amendment was not, however, the less adopted. The Ministerial influence, when joined to the minority, only consisted of thirty-four votes. But when the votes were taken upon the whole Addreu by the secret scrutiny of " ayes," or " noes," the `34 votes which had rejected the demand of vengeance, were reduced to eight. I: was thought that of the eight noes, two were the Duke of Orleans and the old Prince of Conde ; Count Lanjuluals probably was a third; and the question was, who were the ether See? The Journals were advised not to mention this incident. The Address being once voted, the responsibility of it might then fall upon the Prince who had spoken and voted against it. The Duke of Orleans. went, his said, to Louis XVIII. and respectfully de clued to him that he did not think it proper that be, a Prince of the Blood, should vote in the Chamber of Peen in a minority with the Ministry ; that in the eyes of the public be would seem to be a dupe, or else to be serving to dupe others, since the Minis try had allowed so easily m to be imposed upon it by the majority, against which it had publicly voted some moments be fore. She Duke concluded by demanding of the King pernsissid:s to return to England, since that was the only means left him, lit consequence of the fetters of the press, of protesting against mea sures of which he disapproved. The English newspapers were the only journals which gave any details of these transactions at the time. RUSSIAN EMPIRE.—The Russian Empire extends over 568,000 square geographical miles of 15 to a degree (being upwards of four times as long as an English statute mile, 69 of which go to a degree), 100,000 miles in Europe. more than 243,000 miles in Asia, and the residue in Amities.
