HORRID MURDER. FRANKLIN (rENNLss), AUG. 6.---We have been informed or a most shocking occur rence which took place in Giles county, in this State, a, few days since. The circumstances, as det?...iied to us on the authority of a gentleman of Unquestionable veracity, who had them from a very respectable person from,the neighbourhood of the s h oc ki ng sc e n e , are as follow man (whose name our informant has forg6tten) who keeps a public-house somewhere inGilescoinity, left home with his Wife, with the' intention of staying all night. He left the house in care of his two daughters, with directions to receive no travellers in his absence.. Late in the evening an old The called an d d es i re d to stay all night. The g i r l s re f use d to entertain him, al l:3,111g their father's commands as the excuse. He Insisted, and they finally agreed to let him stay. Some short time after a young man called, whom they also refused to entertain ; but, upon his insisting, backed by the request of the old gentleman, who pledged himself for his good be haviour, they consented that he should stay also. Some time after they had retired to rest the two travellers were awakened by a loud and un usual noise in the chamber of the two sisters, who slept above them. They instantly arose and went up stairs, the younger taking his pistols with him. At the door of the girl's room they encountered a man passing out. He was'hailed by the younger traveller, who demanded his name and errand, and the cause of the noise which had awakened them, and who threatened to shoot him if he remained silent, or persisted in his attempt to escape. He made no answer, and, on endeavouring to pass, the traveller shot him dead on the spot. They then went into the room, where a most bloody and appalling spec tacle met their view—the two sisters were found in bed- with their throats cut, and weltering in their blood. They now sallied forth for the purpose of alarming the neighbours. The first house they came to, and the one nearest this scene of blood, they informed the landlady what had happened, who exclaimed " it is my husband you have shot !" She proved to be correct ; it was indeed their nearest neighbour who perpetrated the crime. It seems the murderer and the father of the ill-fated girls were engaged in a lawsuit-- they were the most material witnesses in the case, and the monster, to get rid of their testimony, foramd in the absence of their father the diaboli cal resolution, in which he succeeded but too well, of depriving them (2f life.—American Paper. --- EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF A COW. On Wednesday se'nnight an action was brought in the county court, at Preston, before the Under Sheriff, by Mr. Joseph Pacy against Mr. John Ramage, the keeper of the Vauxhall road watch-house, in this town, to recover da mages for alleged negligence of the defendant in omitting to take proper care of a cow, impound ed in a pinfold kept by him. The circumstances of the case are of the most extraordinary nature—their equal we never re member meeting with—and, indeed, we ques tion whether any similar case is on record. The veracity of the account may be questioned, but the dubious may be convinced of the fact by,in quiring at the watch-house. It appeared, from the evidence which was adduced, that about six o'clock in the evening of the Bth of July last, a cow was found wandering in Tithebarn-street in a very disorderly manner, much to the terror of certain of his Majesty's liege subjects, several of whom had been laid prostrate by its vagaries, and for thisconduct, so contrary to the established rules of decorum was seized upon and dragged to the pound, alias pinfold kept by the defendant. Here the relative animal was left to her own co gitations: but probably, not being aware of, or not regarding the pains and penalties awarded. against prison-breakers, in a short time determined On making her escape from the yard, and accord ingly ascended a flight of six stone steps, she proceeded along a passage, and breaking open a door, found herself in a room where Mrs. Ramage and family were regaling themselves with tea. Thy appearance of the uninvited guest quickly caused a movement among the drinkers of the inspiring beverage who ran screaming from the room, leaving their vaccine friend to the un interrupted enjoyment of the decoction of bohea, and the buttered toast. The cow, finding her self so agreeably situated, immediately com menced operations upon the good things before her, but from the natural awkwardness of her species, soon overthrew table, tea-service, and all together and, after doing some other mischief, bolted right through a door opposite the one at which she entered the room, and down five steps into a yard, where egress was stopped, and before she could retrace her steps, Mr. Ram age and assistants took her into their custody and b con _ veyed her to her original P l ace of durance. Mr. Ramage vi s iti n a The next morning, on the yard, he found his p r i soner had a g a inescaped, and immediately commenced a search search for her. She was found to have climb e d a heap of stones, lying in one corner of the yard, to a wall about twelve feet from the ground, along which she had walked (though the wall was but one brick anti a half thick) a distance of 16 feet, and climbed somewhat higher to the top of a shed ; this she had walked over, and again elevated herself by gaining the top of a building used as a file-cutter's shop. Not being suffi ciently acqu a i n t e d w i t h t h e navigation of that part, she at once pushed one of her feet through w-the sky-light, to the inexpressible horror of Mr. Rocket, the file -cutter, who was at work below, and to whom the sudden appearance of a cloven foot manifested, as he thought, a visit from his satanic Majesty. V‘ithout waiting to parley the occasion of the, honour done him by so dreadful a personage, with an appalling noise the Rocket went off; spreading the direful in telligence of the arrival of his cloven-footed visitant. Our perambulator easily extricated her foot, and again ascended, and walked along th e roof of a warehouse, the height o f an ordinary three story house, formerly used as a brewery, but now as a cotton store; this roof proved to be too weak to-support th e weight of the animal, and she fell through upon a pile of bags of cott on , an d ro ll e d to the fl oor, w h ere her journeyings en d e d, f or in .this room lyin g on her side, was she found, very materially injured. Sh e was kept a fortnight after this freak and then sub mitted to the butcher's knife. The own er o f the cow had to pay 21. 2s. t o the proprietor of the warehouse m compensa tion for the injury sustained, and now sought to recover damages from the pinfold keeper, for al. lowing the beast to wander. After some delibera tion the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff; damages 21. 25., subject to a point reserved for decision as to the jurisdiction of the Court to try the cause. POREIGN INTELLIGENCE , FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France of Oct. 12.) PARIS, OCT. 11.-- We have received letters from Odessa of,the 26th of September. No doubt was entertained-- of the taking of Varna; but it was known that the Russian army was in a distressed cOndition, and that the Emperor desires peace. 'i•S' The news received to-day from the theatre of War continue to speak of the great advantages ob tained by Hussein Bey awl by the garrison of Silis tria. These accounts have hitherto nothing of an official character, and seem to us still to need con firmation. Thus, if we may believe the letters from Bucharest, the Turks have assumed the offensive. The corps of General Roth has been almost entirely destroyed, the siege of Shumla raised, and the Rus sians, abandoning 30 pieces of cannon, have retreated towards Bazardjik, pursued by Hussein at the head of 70,000 men, who flattered himself that he should destroy them, fall on the rear of the army besieging Varna, relieve that town, and terminate the cam paign by compelling the whole of the enemy's army to a general attack. We find it difficult to believe such an undertaking. A plan so inconceivably daring seems to us a piece of the most egregious rashness, and in mani fest opposition to the prudence and calmness which have hitherto guided all the operations of the Generals of Mahmouel. If the Turks suffer themselves to be drawn away to a distance from their ramparts in pur suit of a large army, which retreats in good order, and only for want of provisions, —if success mould so intoxicate Hussein as to make him hope that he will surprise the Emperor Nicholas at Varna, then this presumption, which, after all, is usual enough with 'the Ottoman pride, might very likely change the whole aspect of the campaign, and restore victory to the Russian a r my, w hi c h at t hi s moment our ac , counts agree in representing a prey to distress, dis ease, and in almost complete discouragement."

" Sir,—ln spite of the repeated declarations which have been made on the subject of the blockade of the western side of the Moren, and in spite of the pre sence of the cruisers belonging to the squadrons of the three high Powers, vessels carrying neutral flags, take in cargoes of wheat, beans, and other provisions at Syra and the lonian Isles, and repair to the Gulf of Coron under pretext,of selling their cargoes to the Greeks of Maina.

" Every vessel carrying a neutral flag, which shall endeavour to violate this blockade, will have its cargo confiscated; and if it shall present itself a second time on the same coast, it shall be sunk, according to the laws universally admitted among nations, and which Russia, in its capacity of a power waging war with Turkey, is bound to exercise for the more strict maintenance of the above-mentioned blockade. " You are called upon, Sir, to give the requisite publicity to this repeated declaration, and more par ticularly to make it known to the captains of vessels or barks who are thinking of carrying cargoes to the interior of the Gulf of Coron.

BERLIN, OCT. 6.—On the 26th Sept. a Manifesto was issued at St. Petersburgh, ordering a levy of four men out of every 500 of the poptllation. This levy is to extend to the whole Empire, with the exception of Bessarabia and Georgia. The pre amble to this Manifesto is in the following terms : " Notwithstanding the success of our arms in the present war against the Ottoman Porte, and our sincere wish to put an end to hostilities, the enemy, by his refusal to listen to our proposals for peace, and by his obstinacy, obliges us to take new measures for prosecuting this war, and we consider it neces sary to make our army complete."—[Estimatin g the population liable to the levy now ordered at thirty millions, the number of recruits will be 240,000 men.*l HAMBURGH, OCT. 7.—Letters from Stockholm of the 26th September, say—" The report that the Russian Government has greatly increased the force stationed in the Aland Islands, raising it to 6,000 men, and that several gun-boats had arrived there, has caused some sensation here. " So much snow has already fallen, near Fahluo, that the communications are interrupted by it." Accounts from Vienna state that in the beginning of the month of September a Russian courier passed through that city, who was the bearer of despatches to Admiral Count Heyden, giving him orders to blockade the Dardanelles with the Russian fleet.— Dutch Papers, Oct. 11. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 17.—We learn from Silistria that General Roth has taken from the Turks the last intrenchments out of the walls of the fortress, the possession of which must be of great importance to both parties. A few days ago the . Turks made a desperate sally, in order to recover them. After an obstinate engagement of several hours, the Turks were driven back into the fortress, without having attained th e i r o bj ect. T hey r e treated in such -dis order, that the gates were closed before all the troops had entered the town, so that more than 2,000 were excluded. However, as they we by the b atter i es of the fortress,,they could ro not reet b ed e re p attacked, an d were let in after the l a p se o f some hours, wh en t h e alarm had in some degree s u b s id e d. For two days togethe r ad : eat h-like still ness pre vailed in th e fortress.. The loss en both sides was considerable, but the er) orts are very dif ferent. The most probable start em o ent l's that whi c h makes the loss of the T u r ks abovel,o Omen, and th a t of the Russians above 5OO. It is said also, t h at t h ere is ft great mortality in Silistria, which is the more pro bable, as their sick and wounded are without any attendance, and to which th e h ot weather which we have hitherto had must have contributed. I t is likely that a regular siege of Silistria w ill be undreiort taken, because the nece s s ar y artillery is not at hand, and it appears that hopes are entertained of com pelling the fortress to surrender by a bombardment.

All this is possible but not probable, and we think that HUSSEIN possesses more sagacity than to risk his well earned reputa- tion, and hazard the safety of his army, by any rash attempt, for though the Russians are dis tressed, they are not yet so reduced as to be braved with impunity. The fortune of war has turned this campaign in favour of the Turks. If them be another campaign there will be not only more combatants in the field, but more serious work for all parties. The Russians richly merit their present fate—not so much for want of bravery, as for the unaccountable negligence ma, nifested by the Government in providing an army adequate to the pretensions of the cam- paign. If the Russians have possession of Varna they surely can manage to keep the wolf from the door till more favourable circumstances turn up. It is said that the EMPEROR is resolved upon taking his position on the right bank of the Danube, provided there be sufficient secu- rity to warrant his doing so ; and that lie will re- sume the campaign early in the spriNg, in such a manner as " to make short work of it." That may be, but many things will turn up on the cards be fore that period arrive, so that we may leave ;he . fitture great doings of the EMPEROR where we find them. He has deceived himself in the result of this campaign, and can only deceive others in the next by accomplishing what he has Failed to perform in this. Dutch and German Papers have been re- ceived this morning to late dates, but their con tents do not furnish matter of much interest or importance. The Government of Sweden seems to take a liberal view of the manner in which commercial enterprises are most likelyi - o — pio — siiir —and has therefore made, or is about to make, some arrangements with respect to the custom duties, which may promote an increase of trade, by holding out temptations to foreigners. With respect to that mighty quarrel, or mis understanding, between his Highness of BRUNS WICK and the King of HANOVER, we are now informed that the most puissant Duke has taken it into his mercifUl consideration to abate part of his hauteur, and to come to some amicable terms. This is mighty condescending after his late flourishes about what he would do—wisely for getting what he could not do—and, now that his bravoty has had time to cool, he finds it conve nient to cry off: We trust, as his Mightiness is thus brought to his level by his own confession, that h e will save his friends any future annoyance by a r epet i tion of bombast, which only shows the absurdi ty of his of his m eans to pretensions, an d the impoten ce enforce them.

BERLIN, OCT. 5. The Courier de Smyrne of the 30th August, con tains a pretty long article on the intentions of the three Powers, parties to the Treaties of London, of 6th July, 1827. The journalist considers the French expedition to the Mores, which was resolved upon in London, the King's speech on proroguing the Bri tish Parliament, the full powers given to the Ambas sadors in the Archipelago to riegociate with the Forte, and various other circumstances, as proofs that the Powers are firmly resolved that the Treaty shall be carried into effect. Their only object is to restore peace to a country desolated by seven years' war ; to compel the Greeks as well as the Turks to pre- 1 serve that tranquillity necessary for all parties, and to introduce an organization which will be a pledge of security for the Porte itself. The expedition is therefore not hostile. The convention concluded at Alexandria removes most of the difficulties. Ibrahim's army returns borne, the contest hi the Morca is ended, the deliverance of Greece is accomplished, and the main object of the treaty of London attained. The writer proceeds to show that the dignity of the Porte is perfectly compatible with the recogni tion of the freedom of Greece; that all the Powers, including Austria, are of one opinion on this subject, and that the acceptance of the treaty of 6th July is, at this moment, one necessary condition towards the preservation and civilization of Turkey : " May the Sultan," so the writer concludes, "not deceive himself —concessions on his side will rather increase than weaken his power, and he will thereby satisfy public opinion, which is now the greatest Power." The St. Petersburgh Joarnals to the 27th ult. do not contain any news from the army so late as that already received by other channels. The report in a Morning Paper that the Duke of WELLINGTON has underbid all other con- tractors in the supply of gunpowder is perfectly correct. His Grace has lately attended to political economy, both at home and abroad in such a manner as to astonish the natives. But in selling the old gunpowder to the Rus sians he has acted more knowingly than our contemporary is aware of, for he thought it admirable policy to sell to the Russians what would be useless to ourselves, and has thereby completely outgeneralled them. Besides his Grace thought it much better to make money of the powder than waste it in smoke at another " untoward" Navarin. Gibraltar Chronicles and letters of the 25th ultimo, three days later than our former advices from thence, received yesterday, have come to hand, and we are sorry to add, they furnish unhappily additional proofs of the progressive increase of the fever in that unfortunate town. The wind still continued to the eastward, the weather cloudy, with fogs and calms. On the 23d, the numbers sick were 276; of which 141 were serious, and 11 deaths ; on the 24th, 312 sick, 157 serious, and 10 deaths ; anal on the 25th, 328 sick, 153 serious, and 14 deaths. In all 128 deaths from the commencement of the fever had taken place. No cases had occur red among the inhabitants on the Neutral ground or in the Bay. The thermometer was 73i, and the fever had been confined to the town.

In addition to these particulars, it is with much concern we state, that there are rumours of the disease his country will take. The Court treats him with the same distinction as before. SEPT. 26.—1 n order to encourage the commerce of Sweden with distant countries, we understand that the Government intends shortly to issue a decree for the diminution of the duties of customs on goods coming direct from such countries. Mean ! time the Government has, on special application, partly declared that produce and manufactures brought direct from the Cape of Good Hope in Swedish ships, or which shall be exported to that country, shall enjoy a reduction in the duties of cus toms and convoy of 25 per cent.; and has partly al lowed a reduction of 13 per cent, on the duties of customs and convoy on the consignment of Swedish produce and manufactures to the West India islands. The news that the Russian Government Inis in creased the garrison of the Aland islands to 6,000 men was received here yesterday and caused general surprise. Some farmers have as many as twelve men quartered in one house. The boatmen who have come here speak of the alarm and distress of the inhabitants. HANOVER, OCT. 4.
