5,000 men, with only four guns, under General Mon-
tresor, dislodged on the 14th of August one Soliman
Pacha from Kasan, the possession of which place conso-
lidated the insurrection of the Bulgarians of the Balkan,
who had risen in favour of the Russians. Marshal
Diebitsch then advanced safely on Adrianople, where he
arrived on the 20th of August, and concluded there the
celebrated peace of the 11th of September.
After the conclusion of the paper, Mr. HoGG compli-
mented the writer on the additions he had made to our
geographical knowledge of this important district.
Some excellent views of South African scenery by Mr.
Bain, attached to the staff of Governor-General Lord
Cathcart, which were hung round the room, were then
examined by the visitors.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

QUARANTINE NOTICE.

TAGANROG, Nov. 12.
The Russian Mission,' and all the public functionaries
having left Turkey, the certificates of health required by
the quarantine authorities can no longer be furnished, and
consequently ships that arrive from Constantinople will
have to perform 14 days' observation before they can ob-
tain free pratique, in lieu of four days. This will prevent
any more vessels proceeding into the Azoff at this advanced
period of the year.
