THE CZAR DISHEARTENED.

A correspondent of the Vienna Wanderer, writ-
ing from Bucharest, the 27th July, says :
" On the 24th General Adlerberg brought the
order to evacuate Wallachia by the sth of
August;' nothing, however, was said of Mol-
davia. The Czar was so disheartened by the in-
telligence from the prince that he left St. Peters
burg, it is said, for three days, and admitted no
one to his presence. It is reported that on re-
ceiving the intelligence, he sorrowfully exclaimed
I can understand the defeat at Silistria, but
to be forced, with so great a loss, by a horde of
wild, half-naked Turks, from positions which have
been occupied and fortified for a year—that these
Turks should first sustain an engagement, then
storm the islands fortified by us, au I, lastly, have
paid in blood fur every inch of ground gained on
the left bank of the Dahubo—all this I cannot
understand.' Four or five days later, the Emperor
sent by General Adlerberg the order for the evacua-
tion of Wallachia,."

The Moniteur Algerien, of the sth, publishes an
order of the day from G%meral Randon, announcing
that the Emperor had decided on making up from
his privy purse the pension of every soldier who
had lost a limb in the expedition of Djurjura to
the extent of 400 f. a year.

ARREST OF PIRATES IN THE MEDI-
TERRANEAN.

A letter from Samos, of the in the Impur-
eniaegti
iroefSculYrna'says :-4, In consequence of the
measures adopted by the local authorities
and by the French and English vessels of war, eight
pirates have been arrested in the island, and
amongst them the three brothers Condouri,
whose bad renown iu these latitudes dates
from some years back. After that capture,
a certain Yauni Macri came forward of his
own accord to surrender to the local authorities,
confessing that he had been the head of the band
who had assassinated the crew of the English
schooner the Harriett. This individual was put
on board the English frigate the Leander, and
taken to Syra to be there confronted with other
pirates who had been arrested there. On the 15th,
the Chaptal, French screw-steamer, coming from
Syra, brought back the said Macri, proved to have
committed 19 murders, and who still imagines that
he will obtain his pardon in consequence of his
confession and forced submission. The Chaptal
again put out
to sea on the 21st to seek for the
famous Moro, who, with a band of 28 pirates, was
infesthrgthe waters between Amorgos and Stanchio,
whilst another pirate named Nicociara went to join
him in another vessel with 22, well•-
Other letters
from Samoa of the same date announce that the
Chaptal returned on the evening of the 24th, after
having captured 27 persons, who were forwarded
to Constantinople by an Ottoman steamer.

THE BRITISH EXPEDITION.
MONASTIR, July 26.—The change made by the
Light Division from Devno to this place has been
attended by some benefit, but the cholera still con-
tinues to prevail. They started on Tuesday, and,
after a hot march, arrived in the neighbourhood
of this village. Several of the men were taken ill
on the way. The disease seems to have lost some
of its original virulence, and to be less fatal in its
attacks than when it first broke out. This, I be-
lieve,
rival of scientific or at least good bakers, every
is a general rule. We are expecting an ar-
day, to improveour bread, and the Army and
Navy" will take up 30 of them from Constanti-
nople. This is not before they were wanted, and
badly wanted, too. The remoter causes of the
epidemic which rages at Varna and in the
camps may be beyond our ken, but assuredly
there is no difficulty in discovering the fin_
merliate physical predisposing conditions of its
existence, if medical authority is of any value. In
the first place, the men were left too long in the
same encampments. It is the practice of the French
as a general rule to change their ground once
every ten days, even in healthier climates. They
seem to have paid the penalty on this occasion of
their breach of a rule recommended by experiewe
and founded on common sense. Our men, in spite
of all orders to the contrary, persisted in throwing
offal, heads and entrails of fowls, bones, and skins
into the bush and brkisliwood around the camps.
In the broiling sun all these various animal mat-
ters speedily become putrescent, and myriads of
flies hover around them, and buzz about into the
Win wit 4 cargoes of corruption. Alth
