NEWS FROM THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

At length we have news from the Russian
Head Quarters, to the 6th of August, which
completely set at rest the rumoured defeat
of the Russian Army before Shumla. Instead
of being defeated, the Russians have succeeded
in completely investing the strong hold of the
enemy, and cutting off all communication
with Constantinople, as well as with any
other place. . The Turks resisted .this investi-
ture with great spirit, but they were repulsed
in every attempt. The EMPEROR proceeded
to Varna with reinforcements, and after opening
the communication with the fleet of Admiral
GrtEla, he proceeded to Odessa, where he ar-
rived on the Bth, as already stated. Soon after his
IMPERIAL MAJESTY'S arrival a report was
spread that the Turkish Gen. HUSSEIN PACHA,
co►pmanding in Shumla, had sent a negociator to
the Russian quarters, proposing an armistice for
three weeks, until he should hear from the
SULTAN, in answer to despatches announcing
the real state of affairs at Shumla. This may
be true, but we have our doubts. In the mean-

:ime, the Russian Imperial Guards have passed
:he DaMube, and reinforcements continue to

push on with great ardour to the scene of action.
In another column we have given ample details,
and cannot afford room for comment.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 25th August
has been received. The King of PRUSSIA is
preparing for the storm, and has ordered several
fortresses to be repaired and provisioned. Quite
right. Foresight is the first qualification of
a good General—and promptitude in carrying
his decision into effect the seccuid. Rumours of
the defeat of the Russians prevailed at Vienna
on the 18th, but they were only the echo of
those which had been got up by the Stock-job-
bers. An Austrian Courier has been sent from
Vienna to Constantinople, for the purpose, it
is said, of again advising the PORTE to yield,
and to persuade it to send Plenipotentiaries
to the Russian head quarters. Madame de
TA TISCH F.FP, wife of the Russian Ambassador,
has set out to-day for Odessa:—

VIENNA, AUG. IS.

Her Majoty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, who, with
her son, is now in Upper Austria, with the Emperor and
Emprees, will retain to Vienna, and owe the camp, and
about the 20th September set out on Ler return to Parma.
We hear that his Royal !Remota the Duke of Reichstadt
will study another year in the military academy, and then
enter the army.

CORFU, JULY 23.

An Albanian Chief, Viii Roy, at the head of 11,000
men, has made himself mastitr of the fortresses of Arta
and Prevesa, and demands of Retlechid Pa.cha a million of
Turkish piasters to pay his troops ; threatening, in case of
non-compliance, to sell the two fortresses to the Greeks.
VIENNA, AUG. 25.

The Austrian Observer of the 18th, 19th, and 20th
August, contains no news from the suit of war beyond the
simple mention of the arrival of the Emperor Nicholas at
Odessa, on the 9th.

Accounts from COlombia, state that BOLIVAR
has been invested with supreme authority—as
unlimited as that of the Roman Dictatorship.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 26th of
August contains some accounts from the Russian
army, but not so late as those furnished by the
Hantburgh Reporter, which we have given in
another column. The price of corn rose full 30
per cent. at Dantzic, in consequence of the bad
accounts from England as to the ruinous state
of the harvest. However, we have no doubt
that when the good farmers of Dantzic find they
have been hoaxed by English speculators, they
will abate their natural predilection for high
prices, and return to sober reality. The harvest
throughout England is excellent.

We direct the attention of those who affect
to despise or make light of the situa-
tion of Ireland to Mr. SUEICS speech in
another part of our Paper. We have not space
to " point the moral." Let Orangemen pause
and consider.

A second edition of Colonel EVANS'S
spi-
rited work upon " the Designs of Russia," is
called for by the public before we have had
leisure to discuss the merits of the first.—
But we have the less cause for regret on
that account, as we find the public doing justice
to the very patriotic views of the author, who
really seems to feel the interest of his country
in a marked degree. Upon glancing over his
Pages, we see that his views of the ambitious
designs of Russia accord in a singular manner
with our own. His book is particularly inte-
resting at the present highly important crisis—
containing much of what is speculative, but much
more ofwhat is fearfully correct as to the future pre-
ponderance of Russia in matters affecting not only
the commerce of this country, but the commerce
of the maritime States of Europe. Want of
space forbids our doing more to-day, than

simply calling the attention of those who may not
have heard of the work, but who seek for ittfor-
'nation upon whatever affects the question at issue
between Russia anti Turkey, to peruse Colonel
EvANs's instructive book, and they will not be
disappointed.

As good husbands arc at present at a discount,
we recommend any lady who has come safely out of
the lottery of wedlock, and who may have a desire
to try her luck again, to look at an Advertise-
ment in another page, which, if it do not happen
to. " suit her," will well repay her trouble from
its rare originality. should any " Maid possest
of property " have too much idle time on her
hands, she " may hear of something to her ad-
vantage," by paying a vi►it " to the house in
Berwick-street," where we have no doubt she
will enjoy a good laugh for her pains, if nothing
else. The advertiser is not very particular about
beauty, which ma) perhaps be a private recom-
mendation ; and the happy " wife," if fond of
ale, will find her husband a man of excellent
cheer, for he " understands brewing famously."
We recommend an early application, for the
advertiser has two strings to his bow, and
is looking out for " a situation," should he
not be so lucky as to get him a wife. He can
be well recommended for honesty, sobriety, and
good temper—and what more can a good wife
want Let the ladies look to it—such an op-
portunity may not occur again. We wish our
advertising friend much joy, for his prospects are
very fair.

Extract of a letter, dated St. Ives, Aug. SO :—" Last
night put into our harbour, with contrary winds, the
Russian Finlaud ship Enterprise, R. W. Berkman, Master,
with 332 Portuguese refugee% on board, faithful is their
allegiance to his Majesty Don Pedro IV. The greatest
number are Officers of Cavalry and Infantry, belonging to
the Portuguese troops that retreated from Oporto into
Spain, and ordered by the Spanish Government to quit
that country ; but the privates were not permitted to de-
p•irt. It is the intention of these gentlemen and others to
quit this place to-morrow or next day, on their way to
Fahnuuth, to wait orders from London. The refugees
state that the greatest confusion prevails in Spain."
The Crisis, Pyntt, from Dantzie to London, having
sprung a leak, was abandoned about the 25th ult., near
Trotnp Sound---crew saved.
The Edgar, from Liverpool to Wick, was totally lost
on the 25th ult , near Lough Garloch---crew saved.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TwxLrit o'aocr.

The vintisined absence from business of many of the
principal members of the Stock Exchange gives reason to
conclude that this is likely to be another idle unimportant
day as to any extensive transactions in the English Funds.
Consols opened this morning at 87i j for account, and the
only variation that has taken place is their being 87i,
buyers and sellers alternately, the former is the present quo-
tation. The premium on India Bonds continues ia►prov.
ing, they are now 108 110 ; Exchequer Bills seem to be
stationary at 75 6.
The Foreign Funds are without any business of the least
importance; a trifling rise has take❑ place in Portuguese
Bonds to 53k, buyers ; Colombian are also a shade better,
being 24 ; Russian, on the contrary, are rather lower,
being 934 ex. div. ; Danish, 634
The chief novelty of the morning Lae been iu Shares,
Bolanos having been quite the rage, and having risen to
180 pm. ; nothing can spew more strongly the uncertainty
of these speculations than the fact, that ten or eleven days
ago these shares were quoted at par ; and about three
weeks since they were at 20 dis. ; the other speculations
have no alteration. .

Three per Cent. Consols, 87#, buyers ; Ditto, fur Ac-
count, 87#, buyers ; Four per Cent., 102 f i; Four per
