They were incapable of comprehending what a peo-
ple could-do who `are all soldiers, who -are'all'armed.
and who are actuated by the combined feeling of
desire of preservation, fanaticism, and national hatred.
They were not willing tO perceive that the indolence
of the Turks in respect to the Greeks proceeded as
much from contempt as from any other cause; and
that these. barbarians well knew how to employ mo-
dern arts in case of need, at the same time preserving
the advantages of ancient times, and the military in-
stitutions of feudal ages.
The Russian army is at present without a line of
operations; its right is exposed; and if Varna is not
taken, if powerful reinforcements do not arrive, a
retreat may .he difficult for -troops that are dis-
couraged, oppressed with sick and wounded, and
pent-up between the Danube and the Black Sea till
they reach Brailow, Galatz, and Ismael.
The reinforcements arriving from Wallachia will
furnish garrisons for the forts of the Danube, which
are so many little armies; and they will scarcely dat e
to pass this river, when,. towards the west, 12,009
Bosnians have advanced on Resipiz, when the
Spahis of Silistria have driven a part of the troops
which besieged it as far as Ilirsova, and when the
Servians may be obliged every moment to abandon
a neutrality which has been so beneficial to Russia.
Should Varna hold out, the imperial forces will iii,a
little time be oblige 4 to raise the siege. The naval
force, since the equinox, cannot have been of great
assistance, and the besieging troopS may be attacked
in turn by clouds of cavalry. According to the late:-:t
advices, the army of Shumla was advancing; that of

or the Russian cavalry, which are in want of forage,
cannot stop these troops a single march ; and very
little

horses, to reach the walls of Varna. A winter cam-
paign-has been talked of; to discuss the chances of
which, - it Would be necessary, fii-st, to know whe-
ther the capture of Varna would afford a support to
the left of the Russians, if they repass the Danube;
and in this case, whether the Turkish Generals would
be willing to hold themselves in battle array on
the plains upon the left bank. With respect to
the present theatre of the war, it offers no advate.
taxes to the troops of the Emperor Nicholas. The
winter will not afford there, as in Russia, means of
communication ; the villages will become swamps,
the defiles torrents, and it is almost impossible to
convey through them artillery, which constitutes, in
a great measure, the superiority of regular troops over
the Turks.
Nevertheless, the sultan fortifies his capital, and
bristles with cannon those passes which a vain
blockade would not opeir;
• However little terrified by the the calening aspect
of the French troops in the Mom, he is greatly
irritated at-this diversion in favour of the Russians,
and our commerce will suffer thereby : in the mean
time, he has ordered his Pachas to march on Live-
din, and it becomes necessary either to withdraw
our small force or to send out reinforcements. •We
earnestly hope that its glory
.and safety may run no
r isks in this expedition; but we calculate more upon
our brave fleet than upon our Ministers, including
M. Hyde de Neuville.
The publication in the Journals of Toulolise, of
the 9th and 10th of 'this month, of the letter of the
Cardinal M. Clermont Tonnerre, of the.Bth, to the
Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs, having given
much cause of displeasure to the King, his Majesty
has' commanded the first gentleman of his bed-
chamWr to communicate to the Cardinal that he is
prohibited from appearing in the Loyal presence till
further orders.
The 211oniteur of to-day has published an account
of the amount of indirect taxes for the last nine
Months of the year 1828, compared with that of
182.5, which served as the basis of the budget,
and also compared with the produce of the same
period in 1827.
The comparison of the produce of 1828 with that
of 182.5, shows an increase of 22,191,000 francs on
the current year, which arises chiefly from the stamp
duties, and the tax on timber, the customs, and the
duties on liquors.
The last nine months of 1828, as compared with
those of the year 1827, show an increase of
21,233,000 francs, from sources which we shall
point out. There is only a slight falling off in the
duties on salts and powders.
We shall give the official tables to-morrow; that
which we now give is sufficient to show that the
deficiency mentioned by M. Roy in the early part of
last session is already more thin covered.
The delay experienced for some days past in the
arrival of any direct
,intelligence from the theatre of
war, has increased the anxiety created by the rumours
in the German papers respecting the fate of the
Russian army. Thirty-three days have now elapsed
since the last bulletin from Shumla, and 9 since
that from Varna.

PARIS, OCT. 16.—Authentic information proves
to us the entire falsehood of the newsfrom Stockholm,
published in several journals, according to which
6,000 Russians `had made themselves masters of the
island of Aland, where some .Russian gun-boats are
said also to have arrived. This news is said to be
contained in letters from Stockholm, dated the 26th

WAKEFIELD, Oct. 17.

There is again a short arrival of Wheat up the river to
this day's market, and the supply from the farmers is not
so large as it was last week. The very dull accounts from
both the London and Liverpool markets have caused the
niillers to be extremely shy in buying Wheat to-day,, and
New Wheat has met very dull sale at a decline of Ss. per
quarter ; most of the millers have small stocks of Old
Wheat, and very little business has been done in it. at a
similar reduction. Oats partake of the general dulness,
and arc very heavy sale at 4.d. per stone lower. - Good
.n
heavy Barley obtains bra Friday's prices, but the thi
light saMples meet very dull sale. Fine Beans are ratherd
dearer, but there is no improvement in the inidddling
