News was received at Constantinople on the 27th
that the Turks had had new successes in Asia as well
as in Europe. It appears that the inhabitants of the
almadjak of Paskhoff-Tchai and those of the Sanijak I
Tchaldijr, on whom the Russians thought they
could entirely depend, have jest publicly declared for
the Sultan.
Letters from Bucharest of the 4th state that the
Romaine have placed a park of artillery, consisting
of 100 guns of the largest calibre, at Giurgevo, and
a similar one of 120 guns at Galatz. The entrench-

north and south of the city. A noossebsence hes

General Prim, Count de Reuss, who has left Con-
stantinople, went on the 19th ult., accompanied by
his suite, andi by Captain Rhodes, of the English
army, to the Sultan, to take his leave. He, on that
occasion, addressed the Sultan as follows :
Sir—About to leave for Spain, in order to give an ac-
count to my gracious Sovereign of the minion which she
deigned to confer on me, my first duty is to take leave of
your Imperial Majesty, and to receive your sovereign
orders. Permit ms at the units time, sire, to ad-
dress to your Imperial Majesty my most sincere thanks
for having permitted me, as well as the officers under my
orders, to be present at the operations of your valiant army
of Roumelia—whereby I have been able to appreciate all
the brilliant qualities of the Ottoman soldier. In all the
marches and in all the labours of a campaign, I have ens
him indefatigable ; in privations and suffenags of all kinds
I have men him resigned ; and I have seen him brave and
enthusiastic when, fa theme& name of your Imperial Ma-
jesty, he light mains the enemies of his country. The
illustrious captain to when year Majesty ham deigned to
confide your army of the Dasabs,by, his iateligeoce,his sett-
vity, and his sang Avid is ate meessat of dallier is worthy,
sire, in my humblejadaisest, to coasmai sash soldiers as
yours. I leave with Use bops of reasstsisa is the spring.
Then your imperial Majesty will be at tbe head of your
brave armies, sad we skill have the h to witness
the glorious triumphs of your imps , for Oat
alone knows, sire, all that your soldiers wr be espies et
doing on the day of battle, when they slug be eissaasiel
by your imperial Majesty.
Reschid Pacha, in the name of the Sultan, said
that his Majesty had heard with satisfaction the
judgment of General Prim as to the good qualities
of his soldiers of the army of Roumelia, and his fa-
vourable opinion of his General-in-Chief, Omer
Pacha. His Imperial Majesty, he added, was much
pleased with the conduct of the general and his
officers whilst they were • ith the army—of which
he had been informed by official reports by his
aide-de-camp, Moustapha:Bey. Finally, his Majesty
charged the general to express to Queen Isabella
his sentiments of friendship for her, and to tell her
that he was most grateful for, and would never for-
get, the kindness she had shown him in sending
him a mission composed of such distinguish 4
officers.
The Constantinople correspondent of the Vienna
Lloyd, represents the Sultan and Reschid Paths as
equally apprehensive of the unpopularity which was
to be expected upon the adoption of a concessive
policy. The picture, which is perhaps soemeihst
overcharged, is thus rawn :
" The Sultan did not venture, se was said *NM
be the elite on the 22nd ult., to repair on the law-
ing day to the Divan, in order to anemias, emerge*
resolunons; there, in fact, he did not even dare—on
that day, which was Friday, the Sabbath of Mussel-
men—to rowed as usual, amidst the thunder of
cannon and the hurrahs of foreign war crews, to the
mosque of Tophana, but performed his prayers in
profound quiet at the mosque of Beshiktash,
close to his own residence. It was not the
t3eraskier, as was expected, that tendered his resig-
nation, but Reschid Pasha. It was not accepted
however. The last named Pacha is still residing in
the palace contiguous to the residence of the Sultan,
and to which he had fled for refuge from his own
in Stamboul, taking with him all his family.
he Sultan's residence—the Pekoe of Teheragan—la
not in Stamboul itself, but in the opposite and most
remote quarter of Constantinople, called Beshiktash.
The Isaacs that Reschid is now inhabiting belongs to
the Sultan, who when he was heir apparent used to
hold his court there. Reschid is a relation of the
Sultan's, for his eon is betrothed to a princess."
We'extract the following from a letter written in
Wallachia on the 27th ult. the contents of which
were communicated to the Medical Weekly Gaulle
of Vienna by. a surgeon attached to the Russian army
in the Principalities.
"Out of the 124,000 men that complete our effect-
ive strength, there are more than 11,000 freebooters,
sick, and stragglers. If any of the soldiers fall ill,
they are most of them soon despatched by typhus,
dysentery, cholera, inflammation of the lungs, scurvy,
or mortification. It is a fact, that illnesses which else-
where assume generally a benignant form, take a
malignant form here; thus, persons who are not at
all dangerously. wounded, as soon as they enter the
hospital soon sink and die. Our greatest calamities
and our most grievous sufferings are to be ascribed
not merely to the influence of this climate, but to
the horrid dwellings, the destructive bisouacks near
the Danube, and the rapid decay of the soldiers' shoes
on this ground.. Notwithstanding all these adverse
I casualties, the spirit of our troops is excellent. The con-
centration of picked troops, of artillery and cavalry
corps, of hospital stores, the depots of arms, harms,
and baggage, the implements of pioneers and pon-
toneers, collected at six different poets along the
Danube between Oalatz and Giurgin, lastly the strict
I watch and ward maintained at all these posts, as
likewise the constant presence of superior officers at
ithe principal stations--all this leads to the convic-
tion that we are destined to march the moment the
Danube is frozen hard enough to permit the crossing.
A reinforcement of 44,000 men for thisdistrict has been
promised, and they axe to arrive in January next,
without redaction of number. At our last occupa-
tion of Bulgaria and Roumelia the line to Shumla
was the main road : we kept along the river Timok
on the Servian frontier, relying on rapport from
Varna. The same plan appears to be now adopted."

SPAIN.—AII extraordinary Gazette was published
at Madrid on the sth, announcing the birth, at hal6pest ten
o'clock that morning, of a Princess to the Queen, and that
her Majesty and the child were going on well. A decree,
dated the 3rd, calls the 25,000 men forming the sontingent of
the present year into active service. The Goatee Meths
that the negotiation of Treunry Bills is the month of De-
oembyr last, took pleas at 8 per cent. with private persons,
sad at 8 per cent. with the Bank of San Fernando. The
Espana remarks that at present three Spanish embeesiee
were vacant, those of Washington, Mezleo, and Berlin.
