Gait Gesriir, of this day, contains General Mich.:lson's account et the operations of the Russian army, on the Dnieper. The dispatches arrived during the absence of His Majesty with the army, but could not be published before his return. They principally relate to the military occurrences near Giurgewo and Ismael. On the sth of ►March (old stile), General Mi chelson attacked the entrenchments of the Turks and Kirschdales, near Giurgewo. with 10,000 men. in five columns, enmm.•nded under him, by Maki-Gm. ilarndowitsch, and Major-Generals Prince Dulgo runki, Bashinetiem, Sievers, Ilehbitider, Ulanius, and hake!. 'l'ne Turks had, in the whole, 18,000 men, of which 8,000 were chosen cavalry. The enemy er feuded themselves with obstinacy and desperation. The trenches, however, were carrittd by sun in. In this engagement, and rat on the following day, the Turks lost 1500 men killed, IGO.° were made prison ers, and five standards taken, which were sent with these diTatches to His Imperial Majesty. The loss of the Russians consisted in 93 killed. among whom were 4 officers ; and 180 wounded, among whom *ere 10 nflians ; Major-Gen. 1114- nius received a violent cuntusion in the right shoul der, by the bursting of a losnab. After some posts had been token, and the obje..9 of diversion attained, the cori's of Gen. Michelson returned to its former position before Giurgewo. The Turks, at Ismael, where they had a garrison of 13,000 men, behaved with the same obstinacy and resolution, as at Gitirgewn. The siege was co.n manded by General damn Meyensiorfi. The Turks made ft-event and strong sallies. one on the Srl of April, (0. S.) with thiee thousand infat,try, and two thousand cavalry. The principal attack was made on the red u'ac on tha left A ink of the de tachment under L. cotenant-General Rothhalf.-- A peat body ..f Janissaries furiously endeavoured to Cat t y the redoubt by storm, while rue cavalry made a fine, of attacking on the cne side the right Bank of Major-General Winnow, and on the other a regiment of Cossacks. Our troops. however, made a most obstinate resistance. till Lieutenant- General Rothhol arrived with two battalions, and repulsed the enemy with considerable loss. General Meyendorlf falling ill, General Michel son took the command before Ismael, and gave up that of the corps or. the Dnieper to Lieut.-General MilatoslowSt.ch. similar footing as that of Bengal. a system which been proved to by mph more advamagcoms than Chat formerly*sed of farmlng the reuenues, a mai which has been attended with muchiroble and em barrassment. *.

Two Tartar Chiefs have lately arrived at Delhi, in order to concert measures with that Government fur establishing a system of commercial intercourse with that province, by a new and less circuitous route. We understand the native traders, who have hitherto met with many interruptions and delays from duties and imposts exaded on the fron tiers. will have their grievances teslressed, and for the future enjoy peculiar privileges of which they have long been deprived; they will likewise receive every a+sistance and encouragement. in order to facilitate their progress to the.s places of desti natinn. f CONtTAIrT I NOP La.

LONDON, MONDAY, &MN SIM 28. HIS M.LIESTY. The public mind bas beca for some rims agitated by a report, announcing that the operation of couch. ing was to be immediately performed upon His Marasr e's eyes, by Mr. Putt Ps. Some prepara tory reg;rnen of diet, is, we believe prescribed in such cases; and as His Manse y continues to live according to his usual habits. this circumstance might be sufficient to invalidate the report. Is has, however, been urged and repeated with confidence and not receiving a contradiaion. has been gene rally regarded as founded in truth. The reptnt added, that couching is a simple and safe operation. and affeaed to make light of it. We believe, haw ever, that it is a very delicate one, attended with great pain and no inconsiderable peril. The Rove.. FAMILY, we uaderstand, have fAt mach anxiety from this rumour, and we are credibly informed, that several of them. particularly His Royal High ness the Duke of Crimea ar.aort, have visited Mr. Niers, and demanded an explanation upon the subject, and they have been most positively assured by that Gentleman, that nothing of the sort was in contemplation. His M*JRSY Y'll eyes are, we larnear, very defeaive, but in bodily health he is as well as most men at his age. and fortunately a glass has been discovered. which greatly assists Ms sight. But if his sight were more delealve, he possesses a firmness of mind, and goodness of temper, which, combiued with a very strung sense of religion, would enable him to bear the infirMty with a degree of cheerfulness and resignation to which very few indeed of his suleas could aspire. That the operatics bat been performed with sac. cess upon men of greater age, and who possessed neither his strength of constiuniun. nor had the ad. vantage of his temperate habits. we admit. and that if necessary and advisable, His Mitasser would submit to the operation, aad bear it with all his charafteristic fortitude, is minally certainl; but the law and the constitution have made a great distisco tinn between His MAJIITY and ordinary men. Whatever the opinion of Mr. Pas see may be, and howcier great his professional skill. be would be a bold man, indeed, who should venture to perform such as operation, without a previous com munication with the immediate relatives of His M a. J CiTY ; who, in addition to the duty which they feel in common with the rest of his subjear. possess also ail the claims of filial stallion. But not only would the immediate relatives of His Majesty be consulted. as would be the case in any private family sot blessed with one-tenth of the filial love sad affeaina which animate the breast of his loyal offspring. His Majesty's Ministers besides would not remain si lent and indifferent speEtators, and the sense of the faculty would be taken upon the subjea, under the sanction of the Privy Council. Thus much, we hope, is sufficient to chew. that the rumour is un founded, and to remove the apprehensions so uss necessarily excited in she public mind. The Leeward Island fleet, amounting to about 50 ships, arrived, on Saturday, in the Downs, no. der convoy of the Natiormlo riga, of 76 guns.— &lost of them got pilots at Dover, but very few pas. bengers landed there. Signals were flying, for a considerable time, from the signal station, near the South Foreland, apprising the feet that some French privateers were out ; the latter were unable to pick up any thing. The sa=e arrival of the fleet was announced by telegraph, at the Alhniralty, on Sa turday.
