James's Voluntier Regiment, commanded by.i Major Dowws, arrived from their parade, preceded by the Duke of CCMDEMLAND'S Sharp Shooters and two brass field-pieces,. in Portland-place, and forntad., iallne, near the New-read. Soon after the Mary-la, bonne Volunteers entered near the south end of the street, aid formed on the left of the St. James's. Im mediately alter. the Saint Pancras and Saint Clement Dines Volunteers came on . the parade, and formed nn the.Jeft of the Mary-la-bonne Regiment, flanked by two pieces of cannon. As SOOll as tl-e whole were formed, the St. James's Corps and the Sharp Shooters were formed into one Brigade, and the Mary-la : bonne, the St. Pancras, and St. Clement Danes Volunteers into another ; the for mer commanded by Major Rotas, the hitter by-Lord Duaeasxox. At halt past ten the St. James's and the Sharp Shooters formed into subalivi,:ions, accom- Palsied by their field-pieces, and proceeded to-Pond street, Hampstead, where they took up a strong po sition, as being the retreating party, with their out posts in the front. - About half an hour after the advancing Brigade, commanded ay Lord DVNCANNON, made their ap. pearance, and drove in the wit-posts of the retreating Brigade, which commenced. the fight. The day was so exceedingly wet that the men were completely. drenched before they quitted Portland-place, and the infantry could do but little with their firelocks, which repeatedly missed fire. The artillery, however, was exceedingly well served, and kept up a constant fire, which obliged the retreating party to fall hack on the Vale of Health, where they took up another position, covered by the Sharp Shooters, who were attacked by the flank companies of the advancing party. The battalions of both parties having . discharged vollies at each other, supported by their artillery, Major Dowas's brigade found it neceteary to retreat across the heath to Jack Straw's Castle, where it again made stand,, and some' „eice'llent manoeuvring waS.dis. played; the result`Was, the capture of the anntiuni: eon waggon of the Mary-la-bonne by the St. Janies's, who also took.some prisoners. The parties continued Sighting, the one repeating, and the other advancing, until they reached' the Telegraph, where Major ports sent ont - allag of niece, and a parley ensued !a consequence of the heavy rain and the unfitness of the day for military-mancettvtes. A spacious tent having been erected for the use•ofl the St. James's Corps, on the firing Of a gull the men piled their arms for the purpose of taking refresh :vents, and the Sta ff of Lord DUNCANNON were in vited to the marquee, where they dined. In about *vo hours after another gun was fired, and the men instantly appeared under arms, and returned to town to their respective parades, where they were dismissed. The heavy rain that fell the whole of the forenoon greatly impeded their manceueres, and detracted from the grandeur of the spectaele, which would otherwise have been very brilliant. The troops, however, bore ill the hardships to which they were exposed without repining, and though wet to the skin, performed their several evolutions with a steady cheerfulness much to their csedit. The following extraordinary incident is stated in a country paper :—"• On the I Oth instant, as a Gentle man of Scarborough aild'a party of friends were fish ing for pike, they booked, and succeeded in securing, a pike of the enormous weight of Stlbs. in.which were foilnd four full grown wild ducks, all of which were, with the pike, dressed for the table."

" That the present Deficiency Law being passed for three }'ears, contrary to former customs, is par. - ticularli injurious to the resident Proprietors, as it. deprives them so long from the power of the relief • granted by former laws, while the progressive tax cannot affect absentees, because no property can be well conducted with fewer white men than this law ... , requires.

According to accounts from Zara, a very severe conflict took place °tribe 2Oth tilt. off the Isle of Pantadura, between an Italian flotilla and two Eng ' lisn frigates of 44 guns. The flotilla made a very vi gorous resistance, but were at length obliged, after having sunk fOur of the enemy's launches, consider ably damaged the frigates, and spent all their ammu nition, to run ashore, where all the vessels were burnt by the seamen, in order to prevent their falling into the hands of the English.

Varna has made proposals of capitulation. The Grand Vizier-has solicited an armistice fi:r two days. • BUCHAREST, JUNE 1.2. • The Russian army draws its means of subsistence from the Black Sea. There are GO vessels on the Da nube hien with a supply of provisions for 70 days, reckoning from the 16 , 11 tilt. Before the expiration of that term Varna will have fallen, and there will then be less difficulty in victualling the army, which now amounts to 100,000 men. The Turkish army suffers greatly from want of provisions. We hear that Aidin Pacha, the Commandant ofl Giurgewo, who is at variance with Bekniak Pacha, the Commandant of Rndschuk, has sheen a di.posi. fion to join the Russians, and hopes are entertained of the fall of both these fortresses, the communica tions of which have been cut off by General Sass.— , There will then only remain the fortress of Widdin, the Governor of which, Molla Paella, has no great reputation for intrepidity. 1 The garrison of Silistria has been allowed to with draw unmolested, with their amts and baggat,e. The 1 kussian,advanced guard, immediately after the eva icuation, marched against Schumla, and was to be followed by the rest of the army. General SASS has received orders to march against Rudschuk, few the purpose oiredueing that fortress, and of apaoying the Grand Vizier's right flank. 4 It has been ill ihvariahle rule with ns for 'nifty m k years to arlc our abloorooe eritnes coin oitte against the laws of otture, hi withholsl;titl• tro .1k view (with t.w., or two excepteons) the dis oft:44 qt.:mils usually arehtiant on Oleo' : the 6110WoAsti sciae, lsidrever; like thit of Sellis, lenr:n:r oce.irred.iik tote establishment - of one'of the Sr.tuches of th..

He statt 41, that he had been up all night in the footman's room, and it little before six o'clock oit Tuesday morn . irg, Tranter, who bad been about eight years in the Princesserviee, came in reeling against the chairs and asked witness the hour ; and ou being told, he opened the shutters of the hall, and asked witnessif he could get the Prince's clnaths to be brushed, andsaid some thing about a review that morning. Witness informed rrantcr it was too soon tnget thecloatlis, as the Prince's page in waiting was not up, and they then both went. out at the hall-door. Witness went to the p.,rter's lodge, and on his return, in Arun ten minutes, he sawTranter sitting in one corner of the footman's room weltering in his blood; he enquired' the cause of it, but the former did not answer him. Witness gave an alarm to a cook, ard to Serjeant Wright, a night porter at the lodge; before ight and witness got back to Lie deceased they heard the report of a pistol, and on entering the room, Trantcr had moved, and was then sitting in, the middle of the room—his coat, waistcoat, and cravat were off, and his shirt was on fire, as was also his waistcoat, which was lying nn an adjoining ta. ble, and there was a pistol smnaklng under the cravat. Wright asked Tranter what was the twt• ter, and who had hurt him ? The former replied that he had d 'se it himself, and he should be off is a few minutes.— He lift a paper in the window, addressed to his .ister, which witness understood to be a sort of will, which stated that she shorild have what property he possess. ed, after giving £4O to ;e natural child of his.

Witness conceived him to be a good fellow. servant, and never heard of his havin4 been given to gaming, or any other propensity that might rack the The deceased, to use the witness's owe words, was rather Int y, (meaning tipsey) when he came in, but he was accustomed at times to get ins briated. Witness never conceived him to be in any I way deranged, nor could he account for the cause of suicide. - • • _ _ J.

He talked with him some time, and he appeared rather wild, and went off in a great hurry. He was accustomed to drink very freely, and. witness could not account in any other way for his rash conduct. Two pistols were found in the room. 14r. Phillips, a Surgeon, proved that the deceased bad met his death .by two pistol-balls, one of which had entered the breast, and he conceived must have lodged in the back bone, and the other, which had entered on the left side, must have lodged in the lungs. To prove a kind of derangement, three witnesses appeared, one of whom, the Prince's Chairman, G. , Bowring, stated, that the deceased had been much altered for some time, and that about ten days ago he expressed much anxiety at being obliged to drop the acquaintance of a Jewess in the City, in conse quence of religion preventing their union. Witness, who was in great confidence with him, jocosely asked hien how he would get rid of three other lasses, and he ex pressed great uneasiness. Two or three days ago the deceased informed the witness that he bad quarrelled with himself, and lie had agreed to make it up with himself by a treat of a glass of ale ; and, after running on wildly, he observed, that the best way to rid himself of his troubles would be to clap a pistol to his head, as one thing and another distracted him. Mr. Rymer,. and another witness, also spoke of a material alteration in the deceased for S monthspast. The Conoseit left it entirely to the Jury to weigh the evidence ; and they returned a verdict of Lunacy. The deceased was 40 years of age: Another Inquest was held, by the same Coroner, at the Griffin 040 e-house, in Villiers -street, Adelphi, on the body of a young woman, eighteen.years of age, panted Leah Wall, who was drowned by falling into a «•.+t ^r. tub, at a house, No. 16, llnke.street, Adelphi. The Jury were a long time in examining the pre mises. The tub in which she fell was sunk in the back yard, and the deceased was in she }titbit of filling it. On Tuesday night she was.missed for above half an hour on search being made, she was discovered in the tub, •ihich is may three feet deep. Her head was downwards. On being taken out, there was not any sign of life. Medical assistance was immediately procured, but it was too late. The Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. • ST. PFTERSBritcli, JUNE 25. The following reports have been teceived from the General of Infantry, Count Kaminsky, Commander its Chief of our army in Moldavia : 6 , After taking Mangala an attempt was made on Kowarna. The enemy was driven into the town, and a Bairacter and '22 privates made prisoners The Se raskier Peglnwan attempted to retake Mangalas but was repulsed ; he then retreated in the utmost haste to Bazardoktik.

The Turks, water cover of a violent fire from the fortress, attempted to retake it, but were repulsed by our chasseurs. This island is still occupied by one of our detachments. On the 19th May Lieutenant General Sass passed the Danube in boats, and occu pied Startukay. On this occasion five tannons of metal, and two of iron were taken from the enemy.— Our loss consisted of ten men only. " The Commander in Chief of the army is before, Silistria, and intends to invest this fortress from All sides on the 2:id of Mry. We then obtain a safe communication with the corps of Isieutenant.General Jass, and a considerable corps takes its direction to Schitizala. Lieutenant-General Markow joined Lien-', tenant-General Kaminsky in the neighbourhood of Itazardshik, in consequence of which the Seraskierl Pegliwan will be attacked without delay.
