the Ist of September, and the remainder of Rudiger's
corps three or four days later.
" During all this time the insurgents have attempted no-
thing. The Field-Marshal on his side, however, to divert
the attention of the enemy, and to give General Rosen time
to retreat unmolested from Wawr, made on the evening of
the 20th a reconnoissance, with a strong force, causing
the troops of the van-guard, supported by the cavalry of
Count Pahlen, to advance towards Rakow, by which the
enemy's army was compelled to remain the whole night
under arms. On the 21st, in the evening, the enemy
showed a considerable force, and remained opposite the
Russian van-guard, while with one battalion and three
squadrons he occupied the village of Sluzewo, and sent a
detachment of cavalry to Willanow. The object seems to
have been to bring into the city a convoy of provisions
from the villages on the banks. At nine o'clock in the
morning the insurgents returned to Warsaw. On the
the 22d, news was received at the Russian head-quarters
that the insurgents had sent a considerable force to the
right bank of the Vistula. It is said to consist of two
divisions of infantry, with a due proportion of cavalry
and artillery—in all, ten regiments of infantry, eight of
cavalry, and eight companies of artillery, and to be de-
stined to proceed to Lithuania, leaving the defence of War-
SITV to the National Guards and the remaining troops. But

it is more probable that the object is only to obtain pro-
visions and forage, and at the same time to make an at-
tempt against General Rosen ; and, as occasion may offer,
either to defeat him, or to compel him to retreat, and then
hasten back to the defence of Warsaw. But should this
corps really intend to proceed to Lithuania, it may pro-
bably expect the same fate as Gielgud and his troops.
CRACOW, SEPT. I.—The Cracow Courier has an
article with the motto nil desperandum, in which the
present strength of the Polish army in the camp before
Warsaw is estimated at 170,000 men, including the
pospolite. The Polish army in the camp before Warsaw
consists of 80,000 regular, and 50,000 irregular troops.
ST. PETERSBURGII, Auc. 27.—Count Tolstoi, General
of Infantry, has arrived here from Wilna. The object for
which the army of reserve under that General was formed,
having been accomplished by the destruction of the insur-
gents in Lithuania, the troops were ordered to be incor-
porated with the main army in Poland.
CRAeOW, SEPT. I.—The evening before last, a Polish
citizen now residing here, received a letter in which be
was told, as a thing to be relied upon, that after Generals
Turno and Milberg had obtained information of the ap-
proach of General Tolstoi's reserve corps, they attacked
him on the other side of the Vistula, dispersed his corps,
oid took from him 40 pieces of artillery, which were im-
I mediately sent to Warsaw, by the road, on the other side
of the Vistula, which remains open. This even is likely
to exercise a very important influence on the turn of af-
fairs, for it is nearly evident that this alone has hitherto
prevented Marshal Paskewitsch from giving tattle. At-
tached to General Tolstoi's reserve corps were important
supplies of ammunition and other stores, a military chest,
and a quantity of horses.—Cracow Courier.
Rica, AUGUST 27.—Thanksgivings for the entire a's-
s ition of the cholera were celebrated here to-day in all the
churches of the city and suburbs, and also in the English
church, and by the Russian clergy in the Greek church on
the Field of Mars.

HAMBURG, SEPT. 9.—The Austrian Observer con-
tains a letter from Corfu, dated August 17, from which
it appears that the spirit of insurrection in Greece against
the Government of Capo d'lstrias has assumed a serious
character. The insurgents appear to have made themselves
masters of several ships of war belonging to the Greek
Government, and to have defeated the Russian Admiral
Ilicord, who attempted to reduce them to obedience. Sir
F. Adam was on the point of leaving Corfu to return to
England, via Ancona.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

Lettters from Constantinople of the 10th, and from
Smyrna of the 3d ult., have been received to-day. They
fully confirm the particulars of the loss occasioned by the
dreadful fire at Pera on the 2d, by which the whole of that
suburb has been destroyed. The hotel of the British em-
bassy, commonly called the " English Palace," has shared
the fate of the other buildings, although it stood isolated
in the centre of a very large garden, and at some hundred
yards from the nearest house. This building was one of
the most conspicuous, as well as the most striking in point
of architectural symmetry, in Constantinople. It stood on
the highest spot in Pera, and wes constructed in 1800,
chiefly, we believe, at the expense of the late Levant
Company, during the embassy of Lord Elgin, and on the
model of his Lordship's seat near Edinburgh. its con-
struction cost about 40,000/. The piece of ground ou
which it stood (about six acres) was made a pre-
sent by the then reigning Sultan, Selim, to the
British Government. Its late destruction is attri-
buted in all the letters to neglect in closing the
shutters on the side from which the wind
blew and the fire raged, whereby red-hot nails and sparks
had access to the furniture, and the fire had made great
progress before it was discovered. It is said that the
private loss sustained by Sir Robert Gordon by this ca-
lamity is equal to 4,0001. All the other English resi-
dents in Peru have been also sufferers to a greater or less
extent. The cholera morbus had been raging some time
in Constantinople, and cases of the plague still occurred
occasionally. The former does not appear to have been
of that fatal kind which has desolated other parts of
Europe this summer. The exchange on England was 80
to at Constantinople, and 80 at Smyrna. We subj,,in
an extract of a letter received by one of the principal
houses engaged in the Turkey trade, which gives the
fullest account we have seen of the late fire and its conse-
quences :

" Constantinople, Aug.
_lO,

" I wrote to you ou the 4th instant, by a French cou-
rier, to give you tie distressing news of the total destruc-
tion of Pera and its adjoining villages by fire on the 2d.
It commenced in the morning at least half a mile from
Pera, towards St. Demetrius ; but the wind blowing a
perfect gale, it soon reached the English Palace, and in the
course of a few hours reduced all Pera into ashes, and
from the large burial grounds outside of the town to the
corner where Mr. M'Carthy lives, a distance of one mile
and a half long, and one toile broad, not more than six
or seven houses are left standing. The confl igration was
awful in the extreme, and reilly appeared to have been sent
as a just visitation. Not a Palace, except the Austrian,
is saved ; and the large stone houses, hitherto considered
fire-proof, shared the same fate as the wooden ones; indeed,
their owners were worse, as every thing, instead of being
r,moved, were for security left in the house and destroyed.
In Mr. s.'s large stone house the property lost is immense,
and left Mr. 11. and the young K.'s without a shirt. The
house I lived in is safe, the fire having stopped a few doors
from ft. At the least 3,000 to 4,000 houses must be burnt,
and fully one half of all the Para families totally ruined.
I consider this a final blow to Pera, and do not expect to
see it rebuilt. We must now live as well as we can in the
country and give up our winter halls. We have made up
our minds to pass the winter at Therapia, where we shall
be able to warm our house pretty well. We shall have
seine comfortable rooms in our warehouse at Galata, where
we shall dine and sleep when busy, and when not, return
to Therapia, which I expect to be able to do almost every
time I go down. We have given up all idea of making
ourselves as comfortable as we were before, and we do not
intend to have again any expensive things in our house, as
we are now convinced that the uncertainty attending every
thing in this country should make every body ready for a
start at a short notice. Misfortunes never come alone,
and in this country one passes from the height of com-
fort and happiness to the greatest anxiety and distress.
We have now had the plague among us for the last
month, which has been followed by the cholera rnorbus,
and whilst every body is thinking of running to the
country, cornea this dreadful fire, and leaves upwards of
20,000 souls houseless. From rniaery, want, exposure to
the sun, and damp air, numbers of these sufferers have
been attacked with a species of cholera, which has caused
great mortality in the town, particularly in Galata, and
near the arsenal. At Therapia and the adjoining villages
there is also a similar disease,—•vie., violent spasms in the
stomach, vomiting, and cold extremities, with very great
