NEWS FROM THE RUSSIAN ARMY. BERLIN, SEPT. 19.—The Journal of Odessa of September 3d contains the following news in an Ex traordinary Supplement : opFaATioNs BEFORE SHILMLA, THE 27TH, 28TH, AND 29TH or AUGUST. From the 22d to the 25th no remarlable event took place before Shumla. In the night of the 25th the enemy made at the same time an attack on both our wings, and on the position occupied by General Rautiger, near Eski- Stamboul. . On our right wing, the enemy, _favoured by an impetuous hurricane, succeeded in coneealing his approach towards one of our redoubts,, and-Wok it almost without' drawing a sword.' Immediately after this, the Turkish cavalry, covere d by eight 'pieces of cannon, and several columns of regular infantry, attacked the next redoubt, while another corps of cavalry attempted to turn our right wing. This attack, however, was repulsed by our Cos sacks, supported by the division of Chasseurs on horseback. The repeated attacks of the enemy on our second redoubt met with the same fate. He was driven back by the fire directed against him as well by the neighbouring redoubts as by the 15th and 16th regiments of Chasseurs on - fimt, and a battalion of the regiment of Tambow. A battery of horse-artillery, which came up, de cided the retreat, and soon after the defeat of the Turks, who took flight, abandoned the redoubt of which they had made themselves masters, and sought protection behind the walls of Shumla. They had, however, succeeded in carrying into the town the six pieces of cannon which they found in the re doubt. Our loss at this point amounted to 163 killed and 424 wounded ; among the former is Ma jor-General Baron Von Wrede, commander of the 3d brigade of the Bth division. He fell in the re doubt taken by the Turks, a victim to the negli gence with which he had defended the post in trusted to his care. We have also to lament the loss of the brave Colonel Efemiew, who led the 15th regiment of Chasseurs en foot, and fell at the moment when he was putting himself at the head of his soldiers to recover the redoubt already occupied by the enemy. On our left. wing the Turks attacked with the same violence the extreme left of the 7th corps. Their object appeared to be to make themselves masters of the village of Marasch, and of the bag gage-waggons, as well as the hospital which is at that place; but all their attempts were baffled by the bravery of two battalions -of the regiment of iJpha. The first battalion, which was repeatedly attacked by, the very superior force of the enemy, lost 300 men in killed and wounded. Here, too, one cannon having been dismounted, fell into the hands of the Turks. Lastly, at Eski Stamboul, Lieutenant-General Rudiger repulsed the enemy, who attacked him with a corps of infantry and ca valry, the latter of which sustained great loss. In consequence of these engagements, Field-Marshal Count Wittgenstein judged it necessary to concen trate the troops; and accordingly Lieutenant-General Rudiger left the position of Eski-Stamboul, and ap proached the two corps blockading Shumla. The enemy did not delay to take advantage of the retreat of General Rudiger, and on the 28th threw some re inforcements and some provisions into the fortress by the road of Tschalikavak. On the 29th of August nothing at all occurred. OPFRATIONS BEFORE. VARNA. After the engagement on . the 21st, in which Prince Menzikoff was unfortunately wounded, the works were carried on with the greatest activity, under the direction of Major-Gen. Pirowski, Chief of the Staff of his Majesty's suite. On the 23d, 24th, 25th, and 26th of August, the sappers, in spite of the uninterrupted fire of the be sieged, continued their works to. within 80 toises of the fortress itself (corps de la place), and a new battery of five mortars was erected and mounted. This work produced such an effect, and surprised the garrison to such a degree, that in the evening of the 26th, when the new battery opened its fire, the 13th and 14th Regiments of Chasseurs took, at the point of the bayonet, the counter approach of the enemy. Above 100 Turks were killed in their trenches. On the 276 and 28th nothing particular happened. The sappers proceeded in their works, and we for. tified all the points of our line which needed it. On the 29th Count Woronzow arrived, who was appointed by the Emperor to take the command of the siege instead of Prince Menzikoff. In the night of the 31st of August the enemy made a sally against the redoubt that covers the right wing of our line, but was repulSed with loss by two companies of the Duke of Wellington's regi ment. However, when Count Woronzow, in view ing the works, came to this redoubt, the enemy made another sally in greater force, but with as. little success. The Turks lost many men, and were ob liged to take flight even before our reserve came up. One of the enemy's detachments, however, took ad vantage of the nature of the ground, and occupied a strong position before our right. The enemy plant ed five standards on this place. Count Woronzow having invited volunteers to take this position, a company of the regiment of Mohilew, commanded by the brave Captain Paulon, offered to perform this service. At nightfall they advanced in pro found silence, attacked the enemy unawares, took the five standards, and bayonetted the greatest part of the enemy who defended it. The Emperor has conferred on Captain Paulon the well-merited corps of St. George.. On the 30th of August Admiral Greig, who had learned that . the T ur k s had formed an arsenal at Neada, on the oth er side of Bourgas, and had col lected there a considerable quantity of stores of all kinds, sent two frigates,a sloop, andcutter,under the command of Captain Kria a y, to take and nd de stroy the magazine. The efforts o f t h e off i cers were crowned with success. In spite o f a vigorous oppo sition, he took all the Turkish batteries, and razed them, took away 1 2 guns of the largest calibre spiked the remainder, or broke their carriages, and blew up the magazine and all the ammunition an d other stores. This exploit, which gives new g l ory to the fleet of the :lack Sea, was performed in t h e short time of ten hours, and cost us only one m an killed and eight wounded. The Emperor left Odessa for Varna on the 2d instant, where the corps of the Guards will have ar rived, under t he command of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael. (Extramtlinary Supplement to the St. Petersburgh _ • -Journal.) NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN TURKEY. OPERATIONS BFFORE SHUDILA I , IIOM THE 7TH TO THE 21 ST OF A ITC UST. ST. PETERSBURCII, SEPT. 6.—On the 7th of August Lieut.-General Rudiger, continuing the ope rations intrusted.to him, the object of which was to reconnoitre the enemy's rear, advanced. from Eski- Stamboul towards the village of Kosteje, from which he dove a Turkish detachment that occupied it, and where he took a piece of cannon and same prisoners. ; _Nfeantime the•enemy, who had received consider able reinforcements, and had rallied to the number o f 5,000 or 6,000 men, fell upon our Square on the left, which consisted of two companies of Chasseurs, but they were repulsed with loss, and ; obliged to take flight. After his return to the camp, Lieut.-G enera l Ru diger was sent to occ upy the roads which tend to the Balkan by Eski-Stamboul. Having again ad yawed towards Kosteje, he ranted the enemy, who occupied the village and the surrounding defiles, a little before day-break, on the 15th of August, t oo k one cannon, two standards, and 16.5 prisoners. Ll falling back on Eski-Stamboul, our detachment was attacked by a corps of Turkish cavalry and infantry,' consisting of 5,000 or 10,000 men, which had came out of Shumla. Though the enemy had the advan tage of numbers, our detachment succeeded in regain ing its first position, retaining the glorious trophies which it had just-acquired, but 'after having been obliged to abandon Qne piece of cannon, which tell into a ravine, and all the horses belonging to which were killed. Lieut.-General Ivanoff, commander of the 19th division, was wounded by a musket-shot in the shoulder in this affair. The works before Shumla are continned with suc cess. Notwithstanding all the efforts of the enemy and the fire of his batteries, the construction of three new redoubts has been finished._ According to the accounts given by prisoners, the enemy's cavalry has sustained considerable loss in the various engage ments which it has had with us, and it is in great want of forage. On the Bth of August, a detachment of about 1,000 Turkish horsemen hastened from the moun tains near Yenibazar, and attacked our convoys in all directions; but they were repulsed and put to flight, after having succeeded, however, in carrying off some horses and oxen. After this attack, a de tachment was sent to erect redoubts and block houses,• and fell the woods between Yenihazar and Kozloutlji ;but it did not any where find the enemy, though his traces were every where visible. OPERATIONS BEFORE VARNA FROM THE 15TH TO THE 21ST OF AUGUST. The works of the besiegers are continued on the north side of the fortress. The battery of mortars and that of heavy cannon, erected on the sea-coast, keep up an effective fire against the place, and will soon he brought nearer and placed on the parallel which was opened on the 18th of August. In order to invest Varna as closely as possible on the south side, Prince Menzikoff had sent some cavalry, with two pieces of cannon, beyond the Liman; but hav ing met with the enemy in very superior force, this detachment could not get near the place, and must maintain itself on the other side of the Liman. Since the sally on the 9th of August, the Turks no longer appear in force without the town, but continue to throw up intrenchments to defend their outposts. In order to harass the enemy on the south bank of the Liman, and to protect the fort which is at the place, an armed sloop and boat have been placed there, which were conveyed over the mountains. On the 19th of August our fleet, taking advan tage of a good wind, sailed twice before the fortress at the distance of 400 fathoms from its walls, keep ing up an uninterrupted fire as it passed. This manoeuvre succeeded perfectly, and the fortifications of the town suffered very much from the continued fire to which they were exposed for nearly three hours. Our ships, OR the contrary, suffered but little injury, and.did not lose a man. Admiral Greig re ports besides, that the Popeschui frigate, which had been sent on a cruise, has captured two Turkish ships, one a merchantman, the other a ship of war, and sunk a third near Midia. On the 21st, the Turks made a vigorous sally against our left wing, but they were received at the point of the bayonet, and repulsed at all points by the brigade of Chassenrs which was stationed there. They lost in this affair two standards, and - above 500 men. On our side the number of killed and Wounded is very inconsiderable, but unhappily the brave and able chief of the naval staff, General Prince Menzi koff, who, by his presence at all points where the danger was the greatest, had animated the courage of our soldiers, was struck by a spent ball, which wounded him in both his legs, but did not carry them off. OPERATIONS BErORT. SILISTRIA, FROM JI'LY 23 TO AUGUST 10. During all this time nothing important passed at the blockade of Silistria. The works which had commenced all along our line are completed. A great number of works, which we found there, have been converted into redoubts, and connected together by intrenchments. Flying detachments have been sent on the roads of Shumla,Bazardjik, and Hirsova, and have cleared them as far as possible from the Turks, who infested the vicinity of the blockading corps. Rear Admiral Zavadovsky, in a report of the Bth of August, states that he has arrived before Silistria with the second and third squadrons of the flotilla of the Don under command. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 24.) CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 26.—Since the depar ture of the Grand Vizier to the Army, an unusual degree of activity prevails in all the branches of the Administration ; and the efforts of the indefatigable Sultan are seconded by the people with great en thusiasm. The Turkish soldiers, who at the be ginning of the war did not display much zeal, are now very much inclined to tvar. The march of the Grand Vizier from the capital to Daud Pacha re sembled a religious procession. The Mufti, with a sword in his right hand and the Koran in his left, preceded the troops, and seemed to point out to them the road to glory. To judge by appearances, one would have supposed that all these must con quer or die. The marine, which was almost destroyed in the battle of Navarin, has in some measure repaired its losses. Seven frigates and three brigs are prepar ing to enter the. Black Sea, and to raise the blockade of the ports invested by the Russians, or at least to introduce provisions and troops into them. It is natural that, under these circumstances, the Divan will not bear of an intervention, and that the efforts of the pacific party, and of the Foreign Mi nisters, cannot prevail upon the Porte to send a Plenipotentiary to Corfu, or to accede in any manner to the Treaty of London. People's minds are so elevated that it is impossible, as it seems, to effect any change in them. The Reis Effendi has formally expressed himself to this effect. It may be judged in what a light the French expedition to the Morea is looked upon here, and the extraordinary astonish ment caused by the news that the same Admiral who destroyed the Turkish and Egyptian fleet at Navarin, had concluded an agreement with Mehemet Ali for the evacuation of the Morea, with the excep tion of the fortresses, which are to remain in the hands of the Turks, cannot surprise those who know the pride of the Turks, arid the blind obedience of the servants of the Porte. It cannot be denied, however, that it might derive considerable advant age from the evacuation of Greece, by directing all its force against its principal enemy ; but no resolu tion of this kind must be expected for the present.

PARIS, SEPT. 23.—The. events which are pass ing between the Balkan and the Danube, are na turally the subject of all conjectures. For some time prognostics have been no longer favourable to the Russians. For the Turks, on the contrary; and effective and glorious resistance is augured. The reasoning was very different two months ago. What has happened in the Turkish campaign against the Russians so unforeseen, that it should in spire such confidence in the safety of a barbarous Empire? The Russians have not gone full gallop. towards Constantinople. On their way, be it re membered, roads are wanting—vast solitudes are in their stead. War likes to go the road of peace : it willingly follolfs the rOads of commerce and civiliza tion, becau - se.if only exists by their suite. There is nothing very astonishing in the fact that the Russians, having to pass the Danube, the vast and marshy places which .surround its mouth, cast amid almost uncultivated provinces, without beaten tracks, should have experienced great delays. `Then it is neces sary to move men and supplies in their train, that is alone a great task. Empires are not so easily de stroyed, and very fortunately so for the world. The Turks have found fortresses : it WilS well known that the Turks behind walls are obstinate and brave; individual courage is weak and requires the support of walls. For an open battle, a moral courage, a discipline, a military organization, which civilization alone gives to men. When we besieged St. Jean d'Acre, they resisted us ; but they had a French engineer, and English artillery-men ; th e y had at the end of the siege 20,000 men in the place. We had 13,000 besiegers, and entered several times the wall. If General Bonaparte had not been re called into Egypt by important considerations, St. Jean d'Acre would have been taken. All the efforts of the Russians and Turks have been concentrated between Varna and Shumla. Varna has communication with the sea, and insures the supplies of the Russian army. Shumla opens the road to the Balkan. Masses of 30 and 50,000 Men are heaped up behind the entrenchments of these two places. The Russians were likely to hesitate before they entered into any decisive contest. Ex perience in war has taught them what it has taught all nations, that every battle ought to be decisive, or otherwise it produces an exposure to useless losses. They had to recruit their reinforcements. L► the interval they have skirmished, and detachments may have been cut in pieces here and there. They have fallen on each other, and without effect. But to call surprises of detachments or sorties checks, is to misunderstand this species of war. Beyond these accidents, to believe that the Russians can be beaten by the Turks is not reasonable. The last news from Odessa explain the events in a very natural manner. The Russians concentrate them selves in order to act in a body. While they were thus concentrating, they approached Bazardjik to be near their supplies, but when once the concen tration is effected, they will attack Varna and Shitmla, or neglecting these points, they will march on Constantinople. The case is very different from that of Napoleon in marching to Moscow. By advancing on one of the Russian capitals, he passed into the midst of cold and famine; whereas Nicholas, by passing the Balkan, will come into a fine climate and fertile country. Instead of placing himself in the midst of difficulties, he is about to place himself in the midst of facilities. He will, it is true, have the Turks hanging on his rear, but troops who cannot make a head, and who can always be broken, will cause him but little uneasiness. If the supplies can follow them, it is probable• the project announced from Odessa will be tried. The Austrians might render the project dangerous, but are they prepared for it ? Other suppositions are, that they will consoli date themselves on the Danube, and defer their march till the next season : this plan there is, per haps, more reason to presume than the preceding one. But, whatever they do, if Europe does not interfere, their victory cannot be doubtful. They may receive checks, but the Turks can never win one of those battles from them which decide a cam paign. If they wish to proceed slowly, and defer their march to Constantinople till the next year, they will, no doubt, act wisely. We ought, as men, to wish them success, for their cause is that of civilization; as Frenchmen, we have less to fear from that success than any other power; but, as Europeans, we ought not to be sorry to see that they have some difficulty in destroying the Turks, and that they could not, like a Colossus, merely show themselves in order to make every thing yield to them. (From the Journal des Debuts.) SEMLIN, SEPT. 7.--All the private information from Transylvania announces that the Turkish gar• risons of Widdin, Rudschuck, Giurdzevo, and Silis tr;a, the communication with which with the pro vinces in their rear, is not yet cut off, re ceive considerable reinforcements every day; so that if the Russians themselves do not speedily receive reinforcements, they cannot think of besieging those places, but must act on the defensive in their intrenched camps. The large convoy of provisions which fell into the hands of tke Turks near Kalafat, takes away from the Russians all hopes of capturing Widdin by famine. That fortress is situated in the centre of an extensive valley, and can only be can nonaded from the right bank of the Danube. But the Russians have no flotilla to bombard it from the river itself, as was done by the Austrians in 1791. Thus Widdin can only be taken by a numerous corps d'arinee, which must pass the Danube. The inhabitants of Wallachia, and even those of Bucha rest, are afraid of an incursion by the Turks, espe cially since they have learned that the Russian rein forcements are marching on a different point. There is a general expectation of a decisive attack being made on Ehumla, as, in consequence of the attempt of the Russians on Varna having failed, they can no longer turn the front of the Balkan to march upon Adrianople. It is a a very remarkable fact, that the Austrian 'unds rose whenever the Russians met any check.

LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1828. ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL. By the Plymouth Journal, received this morning, we learn the gratifying intelligence that the young Queen of PORTUGAL has arrived in England. The Imperatriz frigate, conveying her MAJESTY, arrived at Falmouth on Wednes day, after a passage of 19 days, from Gibraltar. This news must perplex AltovEL amazingly— he must be still more perplexed by the gracious manner in which her MAJESTY will be received in England. He may vaunt and flourish for a short time in his usurpation—but the day of re tribution is at hand. The following is from the Plymouth Journal:— The Bristol steamer brought here last evening intelli gence of the arrival of her Majesty, Denna Maria 11., the young Queen of Portugal, at Falmouth. The Brazilian frigate Imperatriz, having her Majesty on beard, arrived at Falmouth yesterday, about nine o'clock in the morning, just as the Bristol was getting under weigh. The steamer went round the frigate, to ascertain if the Queen was on hoard, and on nearing her, the latter manned her yards, and the Queen appeared at the cabin window. She was dressed in white, and seemed a pretty interesting girl. The Francesa corvette, which accompanied the Imperatriz to Gibraltar, had been sent hack with despatches to Rio de Janeiro. The Isabella frigate was expected to follow the Imperatriz. Her Majesty will come to Plymouth in a few clays, when she has recovered the fatigues of her voyage. The news of her arrival in England diffused last evening great joy amongst her faithful subjects here. NEWS FROM THE RUSSIAN ARMY. At length we have news from the Russian army up to the beginning of this month. An Extraordinary Supplement of the Journal y St. Petersburgh brings news from the array be- fore Shumla down to the 21st of August, but the Journal of Odessa brings it down to the 30th. The operations before Silistria are de tailed from the 23d July to the 10th of August, and those before Varna to the Ist of September. The result of all these operations is decidedly unfavourable to the Russians, notwithstanding they claim the victory in almost every instance. With respect to the details, we refer our readers to the bulletins in another part of our Paper. The Russians palliate their reverses before Shinnla on the 25th of August, by saying that they were taken unawares—the usual lame excuse of those who have either neglected their duty, or been defeated in the execution of it. On this occasion, the Russians say, that, " In the night of the 25th, the enemy made, at the same time, an attack on both our wings, and on the position occupied by General RUDIGER, near Eski Stamboul. " On our right wing the enemy, favoured by an impetuous hurricane, succeeded in concealing its approach towards one of our redoubts, and took it almost without drawing a sword. Imme diately after this the Turkish cavalry, covered by eight pieces of cannon, and several columns of regular infantry, attacked the next redoubt, while another corps of cavalry attempted to turn our right wing. " This attack, however, was repulsed by our Cossacks, supported by the division of Chasseurs on horseback. The repeated attacks of the enemy on our second redoubt met with the same fate." The enemy were driven back, but succeeded i n carrying with them six pieces of cartoon. The loss of the Russians was rather severe, b e i n g 163 killed, and 424 wounded—among the killed was General WREDE, and Colonel EFFIMIEW among the wounded. The Turks also attacked the l e f t w i ng w i t h the same inpe tuosity as th e right, and though they were repulsed, they t oo k one cannon . At Eski Stamboul, Lieutenant-General R DIGER repulsed the enemy, but was eventually under the necessity of retreating to the camp at Shumla, of which the Turks took advantage by throwing provisions and reinforcements into the fortress of Tschalikavak. The operation s before Varna were carried on w ith vigour, and several affairsi took place With various fortune. -In alldiowever, the Russians claim the advantage. The arrival of the EM PEROR will no doubt 'decide the affair one way or other. Admiral GREIG has been very active at the siege, and detached a small force to destroy an arsenal at Neada, on the other side of Bourgas, which was effected in a very gallant manner with trifling loss. Twelve guns were carried away, and all the rest spiked. As the Imperial Guards were to have arrived at Varna before the EMPEROR, we may expect by Monday or Tuesday next to hear of some thing decisive from that quarter. The Austrian Observer of the 14th inst. contains the following : VIENNA, SEPT. 13. The Diario di Roma has the following article : We are authorised to give the subjoined extract from a letter of the Papal Vice-Consul at Oporto to the Consul- General at Lisbon. It will contribute to correct the state ments of some foreign Journals respecting the part taken by our Vice-• Consul in the events in that city " OPORTO, JULY 15. " I consider it as my duty to communicate to you the fol lowing particulars relative to my conduct during the late events here. My house is situated in a suburb of Oporto, on the road to Lisbon, and precisely at the spot where the army of the Junta, on its retreat from Coimbra and Vouga, took up its last position. "As the house is the largest in that neighbourhood, I was obliged to receive in it Generals Saldanhi and Villa Flor, and their staff. I sent away my family, and was in great trouble for three days, as I had reason to fear that my house would be pulled down if the plan of the Generals had been adopted. However, the troops left this position in the night of the 2d of this month. I immediately sent to Ge neral Povoas, who was advancing, to request him, as an old friend, to afford protection to my family. I obtained it, and was thereby obliged to offer my house to the General." The French Papers contain no fresh news from the East, but the observations of the Con stitzttionnel respecting the progress of the war, the difficulties which the Russians have had to contend against from the nature of the country, and the want of roads, will he acquiesced in by every reflecting mind. T he views of the Con ditutionnel are in perfect accordance with our own. We have all along maintained that if the Russians were bent in earnest upon proceed ing to Constantinople, they have sufficient re sources tp accomplish their purpose. But whe ther they will do it in one campaign or more is of no consequence. Their capability is un questionable. As we stated yesterday, the Rus sians seem either to have underrated the forces of the Turks, or to have miscalculated the num ber of their own, necessary for the extended plan of the campaign, upon which they have hitherto acted. If the main body of the Russians could once meet the Turkish army in the field, the result could hardly be doubtful, but if they suffer their troops to separate into detachments, they throw away their superiority in discipline, which always tells more in proportion to the forces collected, but is of little avail in individual rencontres, where native courage generally pre vails. The Turks are acknowledged to be as brave as the Russians, and they wisely resort to a desultory warfare, the better to harass the in vaders of their country and the sworn foes of their religion. If they ventured to meet the Russians on a large scale in the open field, they would lose that advantage which the strong-holds of the country afford to their undisciplined sol diers, who acquire experience and confidence in a Guerilla warfare—and man to man, have no hesitation in meeting time Russians, and even heating them in detail. But in the embattled plain, where blind courage is second to discipline, it would be far otherwise with the Turks—and this they seem to have all along foreseen, by their evident shyness in coming to close quarters with their veteran foe. Dutch Papers of the 24th contain the follow ng movements of their Majesties of RUSSIA : ODESSA, SEPT. 3. _ His Imperial Majesty the Emperor spent the time from the 25th to the 28th August in visiting a town which daily increases in prosperity and importance, and in viewing the establishments which have been founded and completed within these few years by the exertions of Admiral Greig. On the 25th their Majesties embarked on board the Utecha yacht for Nicolajew, where they intended to stay two days. They viewed in that town the admiralty, th e extensive dock-yards attached to it, belonging partly to the Crown, partly to private persons ; the lately erected observatory, which is well furnished with the finest instruments, and under the care of an able astronomer ; the depot of charts, the school for pilots, and the school of the artillery, which possesses a building equally striking by ite vast extent and its archi tectural beauty. The Emperor was highly gratified with the perfect order in which he found all these establishments, and with the introduction ofall the snort recent inventions. Their Majesties saw two ships of 64 guns building in the Admiralty Dock-yards, and one of 84 guns, lately launched from the yard of M. Perowsky, where another ship of the Same force will soon be put on the stocks. In another podocr•kts-yard The number a ft v of ig s a b t i e p , s a b co ui r l v t et i t n e, a ti n ie d p s t o iv m a e te t y r n a r n d s- s does great credit to the activity of the owners and the skill of the builders. His Majesty was extremely pleased with the great improvement of Nicolajew, by the erection of new buildings and enlargement of the town. Notwithstanding the prohibition to export corn from the ports of the Black Sea, buyers of corn continue to come to Odessa. The cause is the rise is the prices in other countries. Winter corn was sold last week at 10 rubles 25 copecs per chetwert , maize nine rubles 25 copecs. The sellers demand higher prices. On the tat two ships arrived bare under Austrian colours, both in ballAst from Constantinople. The Furioso brig had been three weeks on the voyage, and the coats Portia six days. Yesterday the Sardinian brig Ii Fenomeno, with a cargo of various kinds of corn, sailed for Constantinople. The Sardinian brig Maria Louisa will shortly sail for Constantinople with merchandise.
