The second is rntitlt J, •' Summary of the agree able news lait , reecis 'from the Imperial Camp, re. specti.oc the events whic!► have taken place at Rods ehillt." It is as follows : " The ene:ny having finished his great prepara tions for the attack of anischuk, not only invest. ed that fortress on the land side, but also attempted to shut up all. its communications with the Upper Danube ;- they ascended that river with 19 gun_ boats. to shut up the navigation to audsoisuk. On the 11th of the moon Geinazitil-achyr (16th July), the etonbst began with, a sharp catinonaile both un Ow hank of the river, near Giurgova, and on that iiimiset.uk. At that place troops were em barked eti board different transports, and advanced against the enemy. " The result of this combat has been-s.two gun. boats stink, sir others taken with their crews, to pieces of cannon with ammunition, more than 100 enemy's heads, u bile 11 other. gun-buats sought sefelyin flight. " Two days after this action, the enemy began at break of day to fill up with fascines . the . ditches which are between the ramparts of Rudschuk and the covered way, and made a general assault upon that place. The combat laited, without intermis sion, nearly 15 hours and a half ; at last the ze phyr of vietniy breathed on the side of the true Believers. The Infidels were repulsed, beaten, amid put to flight. Twenty Olficees and one General were taken during the fight ; another General re =inlet dead on the field of battle, not including the number of priSoners amid heals cut or." The third Bulletin, entitled; " Summary of the good news from Nyssa,'?, is akfollows The Servian General, czerni George, had Oc iopied with all his disposable force, the fortress of JciPerlik - Bastitssi. The Ottoman troops began the abmbet by -attacking,' with all their bravery, the intreuchments Which these perjured men raised at that place. With. the aid, of rho, Most High,, and polder the. influence of the happy star of his High. ness, our 'snbiithe Monarch, the NussuliliAfis ob tained a cemidete victory: The traitors 'were un. alelet6 mt'sist ;' they were beaten and Put t 6 flight.

As Czegrrii,George and his partisans could not, after this shaihrul defeat, maintain themselves in the intrenehmante* w.bere they had taken refuge, they quitted thaw, in the hope that their. retreat would be coveted with the 043 of night ; is con, sequence several .curps were able to make their es. .cape, in the greatest disorder, qn the side of You rakin and AleOutzt. Thanks to the Lord, these traitors were also chased trots .Bana and. dispersed, and, could, ADO 'O9 safety fur , thdr,souls but in .1 ,alsameful ausl, priecipitate flight."

'het object of this contribution is t wefold —the cvinetion of the paper money, and *lie payment Of such of the debts of the State as bear interest. But, iii order to relieve the most pressing wants, the govertimeut promises to employ the produce of the tax thirit;g the first five "care onl i y in the es.. titiction of the paper.money ; during the last ten years, nine-tenths shall be destined to the same object, and the remaining tenth only 'shall be' em. ployed in diminishing the mass of the debts of the &ate. The tax upon moveable property is to be paid in the space of live years, commencing with ,the Ist of November, 1810. Wholesale merchants; and other merchants not belonging to corporations, are ex (roe(' ; they shall pay their contingent within two years. The produce of the tax-on moveable pro perty is exclusively reserved for the extinction of the paper-money. •.

We have this day received perthan . and Dutch Papers to the 30th of September. From these we have given two articles of some irnpertance. The ne.w•geographical division of liollaud is a measure of considerable consequence; . bet'le have not, at present, lime to comment on it. :There seems to be additional reason to suspect Abet' ';the late CROWN PRINCE of SWEDEN died by 1/06011.

The last of these events..must have an important influence on the future operations or the Russian General, who expected much from a diver sion on the part of the Servians. . The failure. of this part of the plan, .in ad.tition to the war with Persia, in which the Russians are stated to have ex. perienced considerable reverses, it' is not improba. hie may induce •the•Timperor ALEX N D ER . twee nounce, for the present, his ambitious projects against the Porte, and repass the Danube. The iffoniieur or the 29th is nearly filled with the text of two Edicts relating to the Austrian Fi. nances. Whatever may the . merit. or ultimate success of these plans, they do nut appear to have created-much confidence in the class of persons who manage the orditiary moeied transactions of that 'country. • • The Nary of France is at length obtaining some portion of that favour which BONAPART€ has hi. iberto •aintost Vaclusively bestowed on the army.

All along the , Baltic the French armies are extending themselies to annihilate commerce. It is supposed, that before this time they are at Icpaingsburgh.7, _ , • Letter! have been received from Gibraltar, to the 16th ult. which mention-that the French General, SemArrs.o4l ha.l concentrated all his forces, leaving only 1200 men in Malaga, for the , purpose of at. ticking' the Spanish army under BtAitt, who had posted himself at Lorca. There can no longer be any doubt of the depar. lure of the America Minister from Paris. An American national brig, of 18 guns, has put into• Falmouth, with General ARMSTRONG and suite on board. The same vessel also has on board the late American Consul-General in France. They em. barked at Cherbourg, and are on their way for New York. Contrary winds are assigned as the cause of General ARMSTRONG'S visit to this country, al. though it is not improbable that some important cottunaulcations will take place between bins 'and Mr. PINENEY. Nothing can exceed the impatience of thermetro.. polis, to receive news of , my Lord WELLINO/011'S army. Thohazardous situation in which it is placed, is an object of unfeigned terror to every man who. reflects upon the state of the country. It is net Overlooked, nor can it be, that this is the only army we, in fact, have. A few scattered troops we have, and a few garriSons, which may be collected, and,' tiny make another, If this should be lost. But in this army, is the flower of our ..troops, and nearly the whole of their strength. And this is placed in a sltiration of unprecedenterr flinger. We do not: mean to argue, that an army is not to be placed in .circumstances of even extreme ; clinger, in some , CIVICS. There may be, a forlorn hope, which a' whole army, as well as a select division, may Very properly be pot to enclenter. But this' hazard will never be embraced, by the , orders of 4 Government or the choice of a General, without necessity—. that is to say, without some adequate and tie. : cessary object to be obtained by victory, or by • the sacrifice of a &feat. Now, will ,any one tell. tis., what adequate, what • necessary object, Lord, WELLINGTON'S victory will Pier. chase, if he really does gain a victory,? Can he hold. PorttegAl, when he has' won it ? Can England re cruit his force's, when they are wasted by victory, again to meet the armies France will pour into Per. tugs! ? Why BotrApAirre himself could not devise any means more sure to destroy • England, than that 'of finding a spot for which she Would fight, till. her military s t rength was gone! Ile might well (that is, well for'lamiein give yowa 'victory twice or thrice in a campaign ; for, at length, he would have The remnant of your military force to fight, and, if he lest that *battle might sit still to .see you re-embark the • shreds of that remnant. This is 'inevitable when two nations, populated as England and. France respectively arc, come to contend fur a.spot or'ground. The weaker nation must retreat *at length ; and the, stronger has nothingto do but.fight, and lose a battle every day. All Politicians in this country see this very plainly ; and all military men laugh at Ministers', exertions in Portugal, except . when they recollect the • wasted bleed 'of their fellow.soldiers,-and weep at the crime and folly of wantonly iltedding it I—As to the issue 'of this present campaign, we hive so . often cx. pressed our fears, since we' saw the developing .of or,y Lord WELLINGTON'S plan, that wi will not pursue that topic further no*. But we must observe, that The Timis * and Morning Post, that have offered us some reasons for hope . and courage, have •administired neither. rho very reasons The -Times offers,, throw us into. neW gloom.
