The regulations ren dered necessary by this exception are under the super intandance of a special commission. Of the prohibi ted articles, no retail dealer is allowed more than a six months' stock ; but private families are allowed double that quantity.

Of the male population in the Turkish provinces, there Are no longer any to be seen in the villagestnt old men and boys. All that were able to carry inns have been obliged to join the army. The Turks are assembling an army of reserve in the vicinity of Adrianople. Several English officers have offered their services to the Grand Vizier, but have met with a refusal. The Turks, perhaps wisely, persist in making no alteration in their ancient system of tactics. It appears to be their resolution, to pay no attention for the present to the Servians, but tadi. ; rect their whole force against the enemy from whom they have most to dread. The Pacha of Rudschuck ; continues to render himself formidable to the Russians, who lose a great number of men even in those actions where they remain masters of the field of battle.. I They have lost a number of distinguished officers. There are no English vessels in the Black Sea, but,: the Turks have a considerable squadron there, which the Russians, it should seem, dare not venture to attack. ". VIENNA, AUGUST 117. We have at length received advices from Turkey that may be relied on. The left wing of the Russian army, under the com mand of Lieutenant-General Von Sass, is still en trusted with the blockade and bombardment of Ruds chuck ; for the Russians have not yet thought proper to besiege the place in form. The General in Chief, Kamenskoy, wishing to get possession of the fortress `to secure his positions on the banks of the Danube, reinforced the blockading corps with from 8 to 10,000 men from his main army, and proceeded in person to storm the place, which the Turkish Commandant refused to surrender. In repeated assaults, all of which proved unsuccessful, the Russians have lost from 5 to 6000 men ; the loss of the Turks was less considerable. The Russians, nevertheless, have not sustained such a defeat as to compel them to raise the blockade ; on the contrary, they have invested Rudschuck more closely than before. The General in Chief was still in front of the place, which had not surrendered on the 15th, but was in great want of provisions and mi litary stores. The principal or center army of the Russians, which is actually commanded by Lieutenant-General Kamenskoy, brother to the General in Chief, still oc cupies its positions in front of, and on the two flanks of the entrenched camp of Schumla, having two di visions posted in the rear of the Ottoman army, but without being able, however, to cut off their commu nication with Adrianople. The Grand Vizier, Jussuf Pacha, hat made every effort in his power to pene trate the line Of the Russian army, and compel them to retreat, but he has been repulsed in every attack. The right wing of the Russian army, commanded by General Sistreff, continues to blockade the fortress of Warne, but the Russians have been forced to aban don the plan of starving it into a surrender. The Grand Seignior had not once moved from IConstantinople. The troops that had marched * Adrianople were not so numerous as had been ported. It is confidently reported, that - Galen' Voss Sass took possession of Rudschuek on the Bth instant.

A strong British force, together with a large supply of arms and munition, were expected at Corunna with great anticty when the DRYAD sailed : and on their arrival, opera. tions would be commenced on a larger scale ; for Spaniards, animated by the success they had obtained over the enemy in several small affairs, were consi• derably emboldened, and seemed inclined to act greater energy than heretofore. But kis highl; sirable, in many respects, that they should act British troops—not altogether is it regards discipline, but to restrain them from unnecessary acts of cruelty to their prisoners, which must mately do much mischief to what is termed Spanish cause ;" for we cannot suppose the enemy of so passive a nature as not to retaliate whenever the chances of war pit it in his power to do so.
