Capitan Paths, who bad collected about 20,000 men for the defence of Varna ? liv e military man of common sense will reply tint the thing was impossible. Them tore it would have been necessary to reinforce the army of observation.; the march nn Adrianople, executed by 20000 men, would have been nothing tu a dangerous . coup de maim. even when considered only in a m litary • J ! 'pais t of view; but such an incursion will appear much •stsnre hazardous if one takes into consideration the diffi culty of subsisting all the troops employed in Romania and Bulgaria, until the capture of Varna secured a source of provisioning for the army, which hitherto re lied upon Odessa for every thing. " Every person, without being a professor of sta tistics, must know that Bulgaria and Romania are perfect deserts, and when the steak population of these arid- countries Lies with all it possesses, an army cannot exist there for 24 hours without carrying every • • necessary along with it. It becomes really an ambit later: y calory, which must carry with it every necessary ankle, even down tl the coal which is requited for shoeing a horse, air forging the daily repairs which an immense materiel requires. " An exact knowledge of the difficulties of obtaining provisions would induce the Emperor Nicholas to trust n thing to chance so long as he was not master of Varna ; and a just appreciation of the importance of S lis rO, for the safety of his winter qua;ters, must make it imper.tive on him to reduce that place before pro ceeding to Aidos. A fine park of besieging artillery, prepared at Kieff, had arrived for Ibis purpose about the Middle of Sep ember. Some misunderstandings, en tirely administrative, retarded the siege, and a prema ture winter, cpite uncommon in these southerly coun tries, compelled its postponement to the spring. "This incident is the only one in the course of the campaign which' was not entirely conformable to the views el the. Emperor of Russia, either manifested in his public act-, or in his confidential communications; and the cause can be attributed only to fortuitous cir cumstances. " Bat we will cease to anticipate events, and hasten t'a describe in a few words this campaign, which is re• pre-ented as so fatal to Russia. An army, coming partly from Podolia and partly from St. Petersburgh or Moscow, marches on the Pluth and the Da uhe. Composed, at first, of three cor,is of infarars, and Isar divisions of cavalry. the naht c ps, u:rdeiGeneral Roth, was naturally destined to the inopm taut occupation of the Principalities, to the uh,riva:ion ot GlUf tize wo, lludschrik, and Silistria. The centre corps, under the Grand Duke Michael,was besiege Bra.loti; and, finally, the left corps, under General flu..!ze wit ch, stronger than the two others,was to c , cns the Danube with frur divi:ions toward. I.sik ct.i. " Every thing succeeded to our is ish. The over fl wiiig of the Dinube, which had been frozen up to the month of Match, and the late melting of the snow rn Ger n.ant, retarded, it is true, the passage of the river lot stni.e days, In order to get even to the bed of t e river, it was nece sary to raise a mound, which would have Ow( honour the R man legion , . This delay, .we , er, had nut any real influ.nce on the events ut the campaign. Alter the glo ions passage effected at Satounowo, and followed by the taking of I.s..ktchi, the Emperor, compelled to catty nut corps of obs rvation before nitchin, Ilirsnva, Tou:ts ha, and Kuitendji, cold not without lin t . u fence vas% Itaj cis rampart with oily t. e tour bi,ga,!es which se ma tied with hum.

This place was known f r the high importance which its local and stratagic situation gave it. It was the refuge of the Tut kish army in all firmer w 41s. Hu.sein had assembled upwards c f 40,000 men I cue. Was it possible not to march against him and s• ek to draw him to a decided e •gagement? To sup ,me that our prcceeci. g fic..n. Pravadi, straight on Aidos, would have determined the Se.aAt er to quit his camp at Schumla to succour Adrianople, is an error a hich nu milk:sly man who knows of e situation of this camp and the Turkish character will part.c l pate in. " We th.rehne, as we ought to have done. proceeded SLhumla, and the battle of the Bth of July cot, med the sulrli rity of our infaatry over the tumul• Lucius masses of she enemy's cattail y. " Hayti g arrived before S.ficmia, it was nece,s•iry either to attack os observe it, fur to blockade it was impost:hie, I CCAUSe of the vast CXICIst of t e group rnnuotains amongst which it is placed.

" Had the Emperor Nicholasfailed io such an attack, he must have repassed the Danube, and compromises his best troops, and would havolong retarded the peace which it is wished to conquer. Could the avowed object of the war admit of inetkting such risks? We leave' t our antagonists themselves to answer this questions 4 ' The question being resolved negatively, the course to be adopted was no longer doubtful. To observe &formic in order to paralyze the array of Hussein, and, to reduce Varna, while waiting for the crops of therha tiff and the Goardi, which arrived about the Ist Sip ternber—to lorm at the sane period the siege of Sill trim, in order to secure wittier quarters between the Danube and the sea, and then to take advantage of the reinforcements which might anise to reduce Schunda, ar t r push forvraid on B urgas—such its as the plan which reason dictated, and such was that which the Eroper.r a.loirted, who, at•er giving the 'recess:it y orders before Varna, motet ded to Odessa to wait pistil tie arrival of . 7 ••• f uresnents should enable him to snide , take to tie enterprise worthy to be distinguished by his presence at the army. " Here we must caufeas,Vammbad been made rather too light of, on the most incorrect reports. The means which had at first been destined for the siege became insufficient. In vain did the fleet latterly bring some reinforcements, and the indispensable material. These were nut enough to invest and besiege the fortress. "From this first fink resulted, fur Prince Menzikoff— now surrounded with difficulties which his :silents alone could not overcome—the indispensable necessity of di- recting his attack on the sea side, wbrre all the resources and the powers of the squadro.i lay, but which hap pened likewise to be the strongest point of the fortifica tion. This circumstance prolonged the defence beyond the term on which we had calculated. Instead of being in possession ti Varna on the 30th of Aug. and of their form ing a union of the corps of Sherbatoff and of the Guard, with those of Rudzewitch and Pi ince Eugene of Wur temberg, to push the war beyond the Balkan, or to surround Schumla, and to reduce by famine the army by which it was garrisoned, it became nece-sary to em ploy all the month of September and all our disposable means against Varna, which the Tut ks considered, with some appearance of reason, as the bulwark of Itomelia and Constantinople. The importance which they at tached to its fate was so great, that the Capitan Puha came to command there in person, with all the troops he could collect, while the Grand Vizier advanced a nth the last reserves of the empire to Aidos to second and to succour him. _ _ _ " Such was the situation of affairs when the Emperor rejoined his army before Varna. His Majesty conceived that he ought to concentrate all his attention and all his efforts to accelerate its surrender. Tae excessive heals of to.e month of August, when the thermometer rose to 46 degrees of Reaumur in the sun, had caused, along with the bad water, diseases in the army. The corps cf Sher batuff answered, therefore, for no other purpose than to fill up the .moment try voids which wire thus occasioned in the ranks. Thus the army was only reinforced by the Guard, which it was necessary to place in line in order to protect the siege of Varna. " The sight of this 1. rtress, between the Lake f t Dwina and the sea, rendered its investment very difficult; in order to accomplish that operation, it is necessary to throw into the south a corps which was thus entirely isola , ed from that of the siege, and exposed to all the Ottoman force. The operations before Varna, much as they have been shackled and imped:d by this complication, and by the great difficulties which the !name of the coun try opposed to us, have, nc twithstanding. been glo• rious to our aims; and all the allots made by the troops of Omer VI io,:e and the Grand Vizier have been b. OW by the firm stand f seven battalions of the Guard, who repulsed the enemy ou tars occatiiins, ith immense loss. The battle t f the 18th cfS•ptent. ber may also be reckoned as a successful event, it it be proper to judge an operation by its final resslt. Un Jounteelly Pt ince Eugene of Wurtemberg did not effect the di sn uction of a corps three times super res• to his own, and strongly intrenched, but at least he has succeeded in dividing the forces of the Turks. and in obliging Omer V ' eto remain sat sfied with acting on the defensive. Ilia( the Pi ince did not succeed mote completely, is to be in.pu.ed to the excessive bravery of a bligaee, which thie% lite!' n the midst of the enemy's redoubts. with out 0 aliens for the co-oper ition of the other troops, or of a body of artillery at that time engaged in roads and %fettles ainrost impracticable. " At 1.1. Var n.r yields to the perseverance and firmness of o ui troops, and some hundreds of those soldiers called degeliet ate.iiave carded tenor and slaughter to the very c-ndie of the town; and the enemy, who has distinguished bluest of by as noble a defence, begins to perceive that no odic, toad to seri) , is o k en bet.. through the c emericy of the conqueror. The fortress of Itomelia surrenders f at dri•cretion tit he sight of the small army which h id d ten inined to deliver it, and that town, which has never ceased to be under the Ott law yoke since the destruc tion of the Lower Empire, salutes, for the first time, the banners of the victorious ltus-i ens. " Thus, in less than tour months, this army, which leached us at so unfairinnable a seascu , has invaded three Inge province.; taken trso places, which hold the first sank among the Tot kisli foe tresses ; and has planted the eagle upon th• ramparts of &Arai, M la sak chi. Hirsova, Ku tenths, Toulicha; and, lastly. of that tam. us VA, na, which so many writers had pro; pliesied would prove the tomb of its glory. " A :ions to finish this sketch, we were on the (suit of passing in *ced the battles fraught under Silistria by General B. .th, and in Little Wallachia by Baron de Geismar. These battles are glorious to our AMIN especially the latter ; for on one occasion 4,000 ot our soldiers boldly attacked and put to flight more th in 20,c00 Turks, who, under the protection of fort tre,ses, such as Wichlin, G urdzevo, ltut!scl uck, and their numerrus garrisons, expected nothing less than to expel us from t .e Principalities, but who, to their great surprise, found themselves obliged to fly, a. .d in so intn.li disorder, that they abandoned the iniporiant post irf K al far, to seek a refuge beyond the Danube. " Whilst the principal army was obtaining these suc cesses in Europe. a small division under Prince Meozi koff repelled a hole armies of the enemy while engaged in coiling on the works ot a difficult siege, and re duced in Asia the imporant fortress of Anapa. A few days after the 1. mess of Poti opened its gates to Gen. Hesse, and secured to us the mouths of the Mask, and the entute occu e ation of the shore of Aingrelia and I ni. :864. e• Lss ly, another baneful of brave men have immor• (aimed ti.ents- Ives by attacking the Pachaliks, near the cradle oi the Ottoman Eiipite, sad considered the centre of the Turkish power in Asia. " Count Pa-kewitsch, loaded with the laurels which he gathered in Pei sia, burst with impatience the limits which sepat ate Turkish Armenia f out Persia, and pro ceeded th on Kars, a fortress not less impottant by its own situation as by its stragetic position, being placed in the mi st of the enemy's front er. He caviled it by ASSAllit on the 25th of June, as sell as the ci:adel, Indira° yepiped impregnable. The garrison, nearly equal in t umber to his army, opposed him with a vain iesistance. In a few hours they were all either slain or taken prisoners, and he has thus destroyed. in the set y begriming of his career, the defensive system of the enemy, who, always slow and cautious operations, counted upon having time enough, by the prolonged defence of this fortress, to collect a sufficient force to arrest our prostebi. Count Pa,kewi.sch was intimated that the Pacha of Et zeieum had selected the lortress i f Akhaltsykit as a point of union for *ramer ns body. He was scisible of all the importance of this fortress, as opening a direct route to the Russian plOvitices in Georgia. As his force was not sufficiently strong to allow him to lease a detachment behind him, lie directed his course with the greate,t ra, idity twn& that spot. He surmountrd the difficulties which the rugged chains t f the moon , tarns of TsLlialdurs dieted, aid appeared before Akbal • kalaki, which he took, in consequence of the confusion and twor which his sudden appearance caused. " Having reached Konia on the 4th of August, he perceived himself with 7.000 or 8.000 men, in the pre seam of 30,000 of the enemy, collec.ed for the defence of Akhalts) kh. After two or three days had been spent in partial engagements, he determined un making a de cisive attack on the 9th of August. To attack the town. to rush upon and tout an enemy four times their num ber, was, to our small battalions. the work of a few hours; and without giving time to the (Molnar. , to re. cover from their stupor, they proceeded on the 13. h to the assault of the fortress; upon which occasion fifteen thousand soldiers or armed inhabitants who wee: within the fortress were slain or captured by less than 5,000 men, after a combat which will be placed in the rank of the most celebrated deeds ( f Arms in the present titre. The fortresses of Bajazct. Atskhour. and Ardagan, es • perienced the same fare at the end of August. and tom. pleted the success of this little army, and scattered terror even to the gates of E zereum and Treb z ode, countries where for ages past the 6 Ice Mustulman has not conceived the bare possibility of beholding the stan dards of the Christians. " These numerous trophies, to which may. ha added, 1,280 pieces of artillery, 400 stands,' d s. and 20,0(X) pri soners, have cost Russia no more than 18,000 or 20,000 men slain, or so badly wounded as to be incapable of again serving. " What, then, are the grand exploits which our ene mies will oppose to those which * e have just eitume rated, and what ate the victories for which f deign journals have succeeded in gaining credit by distorting facts? The defeat of two of our battalions, which in cautiously ventured. too la• in a reconniiitie, and tie luss of one redoubt w ith sis cannons, surprised in the night time, tfitough the blind confide ice of its guar dians. These are trifling event•, common enough in war, but which newer have .coy influence on its te,u' te. " Behold, in a few words, wh It some w ritees, jeal , us of success, have not blushed to call acs tinfo.tnnate cam paign. fatal to the glory of the conquerors! I Nothing is wanting to Russia but another campaign equally sr lostunate, and her warriors, these master. (.1 Ssiest r ia. Rudschuck, and perhaps :also of Bcliu Ma, w i 1 descend viciorinusly upon the plains of Ades simple. "It is -ease nable to suppose ti at he 'links will not oblige them to pi °teed these, and that the Sakai), ap ptectating better than the Eui op-in jiii.rer slim the re wits of the war, will perceive the snips udence o' new dase,:,er-, instead of aJlie ring to die moder ate con ditions traced out by Russia in the J. clasations which. peeceded the war. " Indeed, if Russia be again fitted to have recur, te to arms, the next campaign will prove, !settee than argun.e..t of ours, the advatitiges which have been gained in the last. " The bate enumeration of the advaittagrs which have been gained, and of the trophies cosique.ed, we old prove a refutation to t h e tied:meatier ,s we as e con.- bating, by showing that the Its .siaii as my has of fected more in Tu key during these four moods- than ever before for Vie space of missy canipeigii.. We cannot, however, avoid :Ickes° .ledging, that notwith standing the LUCCCv-e. w which have beeii gained, s• me faults have been committed. Too is ai,k to hesitate. to AVOW them, we will en feavour to avoid them for the haute. But it is a f ,ct, which n•. one will deny, tha notwithstanding these successes at once gluri• us and important. the Emperor Nicholas leas never vatted for an instant in his desire to conclude peace on the cor di tions announced before the war. 46 Let us !tote that Su►t.n \fah nand, giving way to more moJi rate sen►iments, will nano...ledge t •ese truths, and that a soli treaty wi I restore for a 1o•tg time a goo.' under•tading between the two states, which have im longer the same subje.ts of rivalry as beton., when Ru.tiv bad not secured, by the acquisition of the 'hose of the Black Sea. an cq ening essetotial to the ex istence of her southern pi (minces. 41 If 'his wish be not completed, all that we desires is a campaign as unsuccessful as the preceding one, which has gained us four fortresses and four proviiic. s. Then we may cotogratuLte ourselves tin the result of 4 War, undei iaktn ten the most sicced o cau•es, and leave our enemies to fabricate pregeociu,l .►ef:ats. o AN OFFICER OF THE RUSSIAN STAFF. " P.S. At the moment of fioa-hing these lines, we read the accounts which certain Gazelles take the liberty of publishing relative to die raising of the siege of Silistiia. " It is afhinsesl in them that 12,000 Russians, having laid down their arms, surtend. red at diectetion, with out striking a blow, and that the w hole of our arid. lery was shamelessly abandoned. These assertions have as much of falsehood as of calumny. " With respect to this subject, ue need only say, .h et not one soldier has been taken peisonei, nut a cannon lost, nor even an action ea& n place. " the only loss which the ltusvars al my his suffe ed is that 4 one halt of their hors. s, w hi. h pee is'sed in great numbers in consequence of the want of f lape, clayey water, an unusual heat, and then a sullen cold , ness. This loss is, however, already repaired. " The army occupies ueaceably all the sautonments it was thougl.t tit 1.4 it to take possession of on the eight bank 01 the Danube— st Vacua l'tavadi, K Is. t. tedji, Bazardjek, liirsova, and at the rampart of Tra jan. Lastly, decries ks,who a' e represented as formidable to simple at d credulous people.have not as yet attempted the winter campaign, with the news of w hich the public has been amused—a campaign, the idea of sh.ch, to say the least, is ridicuious to those who are acquainted with the manners of the Tut ks, and the difficult es w hide the Balkan presents to any alms which might attempt to bivonack dining thee inclement season. We will now terminate a refutation. aheady to. , long and estrensely I painful. The teal authors of the falsehoods, to whirls • e have been forced to reply, are n..t unknown, and the odium which always attaches to the impotent efforts of calumny will reach them." We are info, med that a Meeting to address his MA.

A letter from Dublin says, " We are certainly in a high state of excitement. and the countenance and private inter views given to the principal Agitators have raised the audacity of the Association to the highest pitch."

In the Sraa rd ‘VeJnetday and yesterday, se offered some observations to the con,idt ratit , n f the Public, and to those who have the poser, and, se believe, the. will to rectify what is misch.evous. We observed lately that, however excelhnt the alterations intended to be introduced by Mr. Pm., they would be irbprat ecable in operation, unless the Police of the metr"p Its, itsierti of the natinr, kept pace with those improvements. V To e.ncidate the strengt'l of our position, we she' suppose the laws respecting the coiners, dealers in and uncle's of base money, were as perfect as human foe. 'ight and vigilant wish m could make them. It is within t re daily observation of all our tenders, that it is difficult to distini uish the spurious snai.u. I icture of coin from the n. but s,leer of the mint. This perfection in villany has arisen from long practice. So systematic has this traffic 'become, that the great dealers regularly emote orders for the town and coun t, y, as other manufacturers or traders. We venture to assert, that scarcely a aaggon leaves town that does riot I,e .r parcels of base c rn t distant parts o' the tourney. In London, it is Mel. k there vre regu ar m4l ket, held by the principal dealers. Ti.ese people also eirploy hawkers, rdl• is, swindling horse derlers, gamblers t lairs, itinerant Jews, and many others, to dispose cf their base cri . We shall just pause to reflect and to call rublic tention to the 1. flection, what must be the propagation f immorality in consequence I f this wide circulation of adulterated mom y ? For, incl.l ei.dent of those se a ally engaged in the practice, many unawares receive this coin as uncorrupted. Their wants mar compel Vie's' to negotiate ir, and having done so, their success may induce them to !rain more of so felicitous a method ol I rocuring an easy livelihood. But to exhibit the plenitude of the depravi y of this id. mat trade, we shall mention the secrets of this Pan. Jemonium. Will the generality of our mire! Readers credit the fact, that in Birminghsin, and in London too, L•uis dors, half Johannes, French half-crowns, and sl Wings, as well as several coins of Flanders and Ger many, ar.d dollars of excellent workmanship, in exact imitation of the Spanish dollars i.sued from the Bank in 1797, have been counterfeited? But the ingenuity of wickedness did no! terminate hem. Even the coins of li.dia have been admirably imit sled. A coinage of the Stara Pagoda of Arcot was established in London lot years by one person. Trie,e counterfeits being made wholly of blanched copper, tempered in such a manner as to exhibit, when stamped, the conks of the edges, which are always to be found on the real pagoda, were introduced by a variety of channels into India, and passed for eight si•olli, gs, though they cost the minuf reinter but three ha fpence each. The sego ns of Turkey, a g..ld coin. sets also manufactured in London. Thus, by these means, the disgrace of the British name was spread in Asia and the most distant regions of India. Now, if our laws were as perfect as they could be. what good can they effect, unless they can be put into operation? And into execution they cannot be put without an efficient police. For at present, thrinigh the fault of the law and of the police, the h irdened villain is often Acquitted, while the novice in crime escapes justice Therefore we say to Mr. Fem., according as sour iris. pros ements advance in the Criminal Code, let the im provements of the police system bear an equal propor tion of amendment. By doing this, he will add to the honour and praise he is preparing far himself ; and if he will not thus act, his present labours. will but per petuate his inefficient legislation. The chief topic of discussion in the P..ris Papers re ceived last night is the retina of Prince POLIGNAC frvro' London. Most of the Papers state that the Prii,ce had been sent for in order to be consulted aho it some negociations which are going on respect ing a Foreign State—probably Greece—and that in 411 probability, after a few days stay, he would re unie his official situation in London; whist others positively ass, rt that a change in the French Nliiiir try is about to take place, and that the Prince is to be brought into office. " All the great supporters of Absolutism (says the Conslitulionnei) are in expectation of his arrival, and in a day or two, no dcubr, he will enter upon the great work of forming his Mini•try. His friends are numerous; all he wants is the Fiend' nation ; that excel). ed, every other interest will be with him." This is not the first time that an attempt has been made, in vain, to excite alarm at the sudden departure of Prince POLIGNAC from this country ; and it is ex tremely probable that the voyage of his Excellent) , on this occasion will be as harmless, and end as felicitously for both kingdoms, as any which he has made across the Channel. It is stated in tbese papers, upon the Rothe:krt( a Attie! from COIIII, :that Mr. CARTIC SMUT, F&&Mh an in 111 GT th
