There have been very erroneous statements in
some the Journals respecting reported negociations
between the Duke of Wellington and some of the Ex-
Ministels. We believe there was a meeting a few days
ago atilt house of Lord Melbourne in Whitehall, of the
friends of Mr. ituskisson, at which Lords Dudley and
Melbourne, Mr. Chas. Grant, and ti.e Hon. Mr. Lambe
were present ; but it not true that they off'ered•their services
to the Prime Minister, nor bas any negotiation been yet
the result of their consultation. A few days after their
deliberation Mr. Grant left town for Paris.—Morning
Adertieer. _ _ _

We are enalaled to assure our readers that the
Duke of Wellington is carrying systematic retrenchment
with a vigorous and unsparing band through every depart-
ment of the State.—Stur of Brunswick.
AN ANECDOTE WORT!' HEARING.-•••••
ODESSA, OCT. 2.—There is now at Odessa a man whose
eery appearance is enough to damp the ardour of the re-
cruits that are continually pouring into the town ; this
man's history is worth ,elating as one of the most extraor-
dinary instances of presence of mind on 'word. This man
fell senseless from a severe wound he received in a skir-
mish, iu which the Turks remained masters of the field.—
At night a Turk came to oat off the ears of the slain, rolled
over the body of our hero, and, conceiving that life was
extinct, commenced his operations. The pain and 100 of
blood brought the pour fellow to his senses, who well knew
his fate had he shown the least signs of lite ; he, therefore,
remained utotionleas ; the Turk cut off the other ear, but
both into his pocket, and walked off! The mutilated Rus-
sian is now recovering, and continuo to be an object of
great curiosity to the whole neighbourhood.
