OMER PACHA'S BULLETIN.

Subjoined is a translation of the official bulletins
published at Constantinople, the 9th Ramazan
(June 4), on the assaults made by the Russians
against the fortress of Silistria from the 25th to the
28th of May, and repulsed with great energy by
the Ottoman garrison under the orders of Mussa
Pacha

" PRECIS OF A DESPATCH PROM HIS EXCELLENCY OMER

PACHA, DATED SFIUMLA, THE 28TH CHABAN.
" During the night the Russians place sentries round
the fortress of Silistria and remove them at daybreak.
Nevertheless the road to Turtukai is open, and a cap-
tain of the Ottoman army, who has arrived from that
town, declares most positively that since the commence-
ment of the siege the Russians have suffered enormous
losses, amounting to no less than 10,000 men slain. We
also should state that our losses have been very sen-ible.
"On Sunday, May 21, the Russians, attacking only
the redoubt of Arab Tabiasi, stormed it three times : at
the first assault they arrived within musket shot, and
were obliged to retire with considerable loss ; at the
second they could only approach within cannon shot,
and the correctness of our aim compelled them again to
retire with considerable loss ; the third time, the cavalry
was posted behind the inftntry to force them on, but in
spite of every effort to make the latter advance, the for-
mer could not succeed, and the enemy was again forced
to retire with loss.

" On Monday, the 28th of May, the Russians, in five
lines, again renewed the attack, which they directed
against the redoubt of ',Arent. The first line arrived
within cannon range, could advance no further, and it
opened fire at this distance, without producing any effect.
Having experienced a heavy loss, the enemy was com-
pelled to retreat.

- "In fine, all the attacks of the Russians having failed
of success, they have always been compelled to beat a
retreat with considerable losses, and I have the satisfac-
tion of hoping that this fortress will be still able to resist
a long time."
London, England, 1854-06-20

MR. STRUTT.

Mr. STRUPT entered into an explanation of the circum-
stances which had led to his resignation of the office of
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancastr. In the first forma-
tion of the present Government he was unexpectedly
requested by the . noble lord the President of the
Council to accept that office. He was at the time
unacquainted with the duties of the office, but he knew
they were light, and he accepted the office upon the under-
standing that the whole of his time should be at the dis-
posal of the Government. Ho afterwards discovered, how-
ever, that the office imposed no Parliamentary duties
whatever upon him, and he more than once requested to be
ralieved from its responsibility long before he had an
opportunity of resigning it. Shorly after the Whitsuntide
recess he received a communication which induced him to
wait upon the Lord President of the Council, from whom
he learned that arrangements had been made for re-orga-
nizing the Government, which only waitedhis concurrence.
In point of fact he was told that the completion of these ar-
rangements would require him to resign his office, and he at
once in reply to their appeal tendered to the Crown the
resignation which he bad held since the first formation of
the present Government. Reports had gone abroad that
he had either been a party to these, arrangements,
which ho disapproved of, or that he had attached
a condition to his resignation, but he could assure the
house that there was no foundation for such reports. He
had been no party to the arrangements which his noble
friend' referred to, nor was he driven into the resignation
of his office ; but after hearing the statement of his noble
friend he immediately, without consulting any one, ten-
dered the resignation of his office. This was a simple state-
ment of the facts of the change which had taken place in
the Government with regard to himself. (Cheers.)

POLICE BILL.
Mr. P. MILES wished to know if it was intended to
bring in the second reading of the Police Bill to-night.
Lord J. RUSSELL said certainly not to-night, nor on
any day this week. Probably it would be taken next
woek, and he would give due notice of the day.
London, England, 1854-06-20

DESPATCH FROM MIISSA PACHA.

"I have already had the honour of informino-you that
on the 25th the Russians vigorously attacked the re-
doubts of Bilanli and Arab Tabiasi, and that they were
obliged to retire with loss from the fire of these redoubts.
A few hours later, about 9 in the evening of the same
day, they again made a most vigorous assault on these
redoubts ; but they were received with so much intrepi-
dity and bravery, and the combined fire of the other re-
doubts coming to the help of the attacked points was so
well directed that the enemy could not resist it, and,
thanks be to the Almighty, he was forced to retreat after
suffering great loss.
. .

"About one in the morning of May 29, the Ru,sians,
in consilerable force, attempted an assault with much
vigour on the redoubts of Bilanli and Arab Tabiasi.
They were received by the troops forming the garrisons
of them with rare intrepidity. The fortress and the other
redoubts, aiding the redoubts attacked, opened so terrible
a fire of grape and shell, that if the enemy had been
made of iron, it would in truth have been impossible to
stand against it ; he was therefore obliged to fall back
and retreat. But almost immediately, without inter-
rupting the fire, he deployed all his forces, and brought
back his columns to the assault with so much vigour,
that the Russian troops reached the embrasures of the
redoubts, through which they tried to enter. But by
the Divine assistance, after three hours' fighting in the
most desperate manner, during which the moat was
literally piled and the plain covered with the enemy's
corpses, the remainder was compelled to retire and fly
in disorder.

" In this attack the imperial troops had 50 men killed,
and nearly the same number wounded ; but the Russians
lost at least 1,500 men killed, and doubtless a far greater
number of wounded. We made six prisoners, and we
gathered a considerale quantity of arms and military
equipments. A. great number of these objects remained
still on the field of battle, too far off from our batteries
to enable us to collect them."

LAW INTELLIGENUF.4-(TBLS DAY).

•
QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Campbell and a common jury.)
THE ST. JAMES'S CLUB-PINK V. SVirETENHAM.
This was an action, part of which was heard yesterday,
to recover the balance of 8331., due by the defendant for
work done. The defendant pleaded the general issue.
Mr. Thompson and Mr. Hugh Hill were for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Watson, Q.C., for the defendant. The defendant
was, or had been a member of the St. James's Club,
and the present action had been brought to recover
the balance of an account for decorations to the club. It
appeared that in 1851, the chib being in great difficulties,
there was a meeting of some of the members, and some
arrangement was made that the members should put down
601., or pay 101. each year for six years, and which would
free the club from debt, and defendant, as it appeared,
not acquiescing in the arrangement, the present action was
brought.
The proceedings, which were somewhat confused, ended
in a verdict for the defendant.

MARCH OF BRITISH TROOPS TO ASSIST

THE BESIEGED.

A despatch from Varna of June 4 says :—" The
advanced guard of the British has marched on in
the direction of Silistria, and is to be followed by
another body in thirty-six hours. It is fearfully
hot here, and we are sadly in want of fresh pro-
visions."

DEATH OF MUSSA PACHA CONFIRMED,
The following despatch has reached Paris :

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 10.—The death of Mussa
Pacha, Governor of Silistria, has been confirmed.
He was killed on the 31st May by a granade, after
an assault valiantly repulsed. Mussa Pacha has
died poor ; ho had refused two millions which Pas-
kiewitsch had offered him to give up the place.
Omer Pacha, on the news of his death, sent Seiram
Pacha with 30,000 men, who, having feigned to
give battle to the Russian army, brought about a
movement in that army which permitted him to
introduce 2,000 men into Silistria.

OMER PACHA'S BULLETIN.

Subjoined is a translation of the official bulletins
published at Constantinople, the 9th Ramazan
(June 4), on the assaults made by the Russians
against the fortress of Silistria from the 25th to the
28th of May, and repulsed with great energy by
the Ottoman garrison under the orders of Mussa
Pacha :

" PRECIS OF A DESPATCH FROM HIS EXCELLENCY OMER

_
PACHA. DATED SMALL*, THE 28TH CHABAN.
" During the night the Russians place sentries round
the fortress of Silistria and remove them at daybreak.
Nevertheless the road to Turtukai is open, and a cap-
tain of the Ottoman army, who has arrived from that
town, declares most positively that since the commence-
ment of the siege the Russians have suffered enormous
losses, amounting to no less than 10,000 men slain. We
also should state that our losses have been very sen,ible.
"On Sunday, May 21, the Russians, attacking only
the redoubt of Arab Tabiasi, stormed it three times : at
the first assault they arrived within musket shot, and
were obliged to retire with considerable loss ; at the
second they could only approach within cannon shot,
and the correctness of our aim compelled them again to
retire with considerable loss ; the third time, the cavalry
was posted behind the infantry to force them on, but in
spite of every effort to make the latter advance, the for-
mer could not succeed, and the enemy was again forced
to retire with loss.

"On Monday, the 28th of May, the Russians, in five
lines, again renewed the attack, which they directed
against the redoubt of Ldvent. The first line arrived
within cannon range, could advance no further, and it
opened fire at this distance, without producing any effect.
Having experienced a heavy loss, the enemy was com-
pelled to retreat.

- "In fine, all the attacks of the Russians having failed
of success, they have always been compelled to beat a
retreat with considerable losses, and I have the satisfac-
tion of hoping that this fortress will be still able to resist
a long time."

DESPATCH FROM IVIIISSA PACHA.

"I have already had the honour of informing you that
on the 25th the Russians vigorously attacked the re-
doubts of Bilanli and Arab Tabiasi, and that they were
obliged to retire with loss from the fire of these redoubts.
A few hours later, about 9 in the evening of the same
day, they again made a most vigorous assault on these
redoubts ; but they were received with so much intrepi-
dity and bravery, and the combined fire of the other re-
doubts coming to the help of the attacked points was so
well directed that the enemy could not resist it, and,
thanks be to the Almighty, he was forced to retreat after
suffering great loss.

"About one in the morning of May 29, the Russians,
in considerable force, attempted an assault with much
vigour on the redoubts of Bilanli and Arab Tabiasi.
They were received by the troops forming the garrisons
of them with rare intrepidity. The fortress and the other
redoubts, aiding the redoubts attacked, opened so terrible
a fire of grape and shell, that if the enemy had been
made of iron, it would in truth have been impossible to
stand against it ; he was therefore obliged to fall back
and retreat. But almost immediately, without inter-
rupting the fire, he deployed all his forces, and brought
back his columns to the assault with so much vigour,
that the Russian troops reached the embrasures of the
redoubts, through which they tried to enter. But by
the Divine assistance, after three hours' fighting in the
most desperate manner, during which the moat was
literally piled and the plain covered with the enemy's
corpses, the remainder was compelled to retire and fly
in disorder.

" In this attack the imperial troops had 50 men killed,
and nearly the same number wounded ; but the Russians
lost at least 1,500 men killed, and doubtless a far greater
number of wounded. We made six prisoners, and we
gathered a considerale quantity of arms and military
equipments. A. great number of these objects remained
still on the field of battle, too far off from our batteries
to enable us to collect them."
London, England, 1854-06-20

sant, did not cease to fall till about 5 o'clock. At
that hour the sky cleared a little, and about 6 the
sun showed himself for a short time. The sky,
however, became again lowering. Prayers were •
offered up on Sunday in the churches for fine
weather. The recent letters from several of the
departments, and particularly from the south, do
not justify the alarm that was felt about the crops,
nor does the rain which has been deluging Paris
seem to be general. Letters from the Pyrenees speak
of the " magnificent weather" enjoyed there, and
accounts from other places speak of the fine appear-
ance of the crops. While the rain was pouring
down on Saturday evening in Paris not a drop fell
in places at a short distance from it. On the whole
it is hoped that no serious mischief has yet occurred.
The sooner the moisture passes off, however, the
better. It is gratifying to learn that there has
since been a sudden change. Yesterday Paris
enjoyed superb summer weather, which will prove
of immense benefit to the crops.
It is curious that while officially the Austrian
and Prussian alliance is a fait accompli, such re-
marks as the following in the Siecle of Sunday
should be permitted to be published in the present
state of the French press :
" We have no desire to excite uneasiness with respect
to the policy of Austria and Prussia, but there are cer-
tain known notorious facts which it can servo no good
purpose to suppress :-Ist, that beyond the expression
of their disapprobation of Russian policy on the score of
right, the great German powers have done no act to
commit themselves materially to the war in which France
and England are engaged ; 2d, that between Austria
and Prussia, and several secondary states of the Ger-
manic Confederation, there does nut exist any cordial
and unreserved understanding ; and 3d, that the influ-
ence of M. de Mettei nich is again, though not avowedly
so, all powerful at Vienna."
At the Paris Bourse, yesterday, the extreme
fineness of the weather, the sun being hot, with a
good drying breeze, joined to the report that the
siege of Silistria was raised, led to much higher
prices. The Four-and-a-Half per. Cents. are lf.
50c. higher, and the Three per Cents. 45c. higher,
at 98f. and 73f. 35c. Bank of France Shares are
20f. higher, and those of the Societe Mobiliere 25f.
higher. Foreign Securities in general present an
improvement. Railway Shares have risen from
10f. to 15f. each. Exchange on London (short),
25f., money ; ditto (90 days), 24f. 70c., money.

THE FRENCH FLEET.
At a quarter one yesterday afternoon a French fleet
bound for the BAltic, consisting of seven line-of-battle
ships and one paddle-wheel steamer, hove in sight about
nine miles off Plymouth. When first 'seen they were
standing towards the land with an an adverse wind at
N.E. by E., under topsail and courses. At a quarter
after two they wore round, and stood about,E.S.E., and
were out of sight at a quarter after four.
The Sylph, Admiral oamanney's cutter, with the flag
lieutenant, Sir James Dunbar, was sent out to commu-
I nicate, but was not successful. The excitement caused
by the appearance of a French fleet off Plymouth on this
occasion was very different to: the one in 1784,

STEAM GUN-BOATS.--Two more steamer guu-boats
have been commissioned, namely, the Jas.perand Pigmy,
the former at Dev mport by Lieutenant C. G. Crawley
(1838), and the latter at Portsmouth ,by Lieutenant
Jaines Runt (1841) ; they wal have a crew of 35 each,
