did; but it is far from being extirpated. Many
persons die. Some thousand Russian infantry, and
two companies of artillery from the corps be-
sieging Silistria, have arrived in this city; the
remainder of the corps proceeded partly to Hirehova,
where it
,passed the Danube, and partly towards
Varna. Almost the whole of the heavy artillery has
been brought over to the left bank of the Danube.
The Turks had attempted to pursue the army of Si•
listria in its retreat, hilt they were kept in check by
the able manceuvres of Gen. Roth, who had taken
the command of the divisions on the left bank of the
Danube, and had 'gone to Varna. Gen. Langeron
is to fix his head-quarters at Bucharest for the
winter, and to employ himself in the organization
of the army. It is said that Gen. Geismar will come
to this city, and concert measures with him.
We learn from Belgrade that letters have been re-
ceived from Constantinople to the 15th Nov. They
mention the retreat of. the Russian troopi from
Shumla ; but say nothing of the operations of the
new Grand Vizier.—Augsburgh Gazette.
(From the Gazette de France, Dec. 16.)

ANCONA, Nov. 24.--It is positively affirmed that
a copy of the protocol of the last conferences at
London, fixing the extent of the Greek territory, and
limiting it to the Mores and some islands in the
Archipelago, has been sent to the three Ambassa-
dors. It. is also thought probable that the French
expedition will be recalled as soon as the delivery of
the fortresses to the Greek troops shall have, been
completed. This will be accelerated by the.ap-,
proaChing arrival of Colonel Fabvier, who, it is said,
is commissioned by the French Government to orga
nize the land forces of the Greeks.

Within these few days several Russian couriers,
have passed through this city,- going to the fleet in
the. Archipelago- or coming from it.

Mir DEAR Sia—l have just bad. the pleasure to receive

(with all convenient speed,) the Catholic Mission now
about to proceed to England, in answer to which I beg to
state, that it is impossible for me to leave home at presait.
Believe me to remain, your very faithful servant,

obliging communication : I sincerely regret it will not be
in my power to have the honour of attending on the Mis-
sion to England. I remain, with much respect,

5in...4 have to acknowledge the receipt, by this morn.
in;;'. post. of your letter of the 7th. and beg to acquaint
,ou iu reply, that it nil not he in my power to attend the
Mission, which, it appears, is about to proceed to England.
I am, sir, your most obedient servant,

Mr. O'Connell, after the reading of the above,
declared the Mission at an end.

It is understood in well-informed quarters,
that Lord Anglesea is getting sick of his situa-
tion, and Lord Melville, of all men (but it is
impossible, for how can Scotland spare him ?
or how can he do justice to the Thanes in such
a case ?), is spoken of as his successor. How-
ever that may be, it is, we believe, far from
improbable that Mr. Croker will quit office. He
is by no means a favourite, being disposed to
labour as little as possible ; and he is rich
enough to be indifferent to office, having secured
a good pension, with survivorship, for Mrs:
Croker. It is supposed the Duke will try to
• get on with one Secretary, as he is anxious for
retrenchment ; so much so, indeed, that the
hangers-on begin to be alarmed at some of his
demonstrations. Should there be only one Se-
cretary, Mr. Barrow will be Mr. Croker's suc-
cessor rather than Mr. Hay. Iteis believed that
the outline of the Catholic Bill given by Mr.
O'Connell is not far from the truth. The no-
mination of Catholic Bishops is a subject re-
specting which little positive is known ; but the
plan of Mr. Wihnot Horton for securing the
Church against the Popish Representatives is
deemed the very ne plus ultra of political
wisdom. We have heard other rumours with
respect to a very High Office in the Cabinet,
but as a change in that quarter, whatever the
pretext, involves something like reproach—we
dare not even allude to it.—Morning Chron.

The quantity of apples landed from Guernsey
and Jersey at Dartmouth, up to the present time, is about
68,000 bushels, which, allowing 16 bushels to the hogs_
head, freuld make 4250 hogsheads of cider. A large
quantity of eider in casks has aiso been landed.—Exaer
Alfred. • •

A good deal of snow has fallen oti the High-
land road, particularly in tie districts Of Baderiach and
Dratnottchrur. Travelling, however, has not bee❑ aw
way interrupted.—Edinburgh Observer.

A more than usual number of this year's City
Parliament are expected, titi St. Thomas's Day,'lo " bid
a long farewell to all their greatness,"

BUCHAREST, Nov. 27.--We hear that Hussein
Pacha has taken up his position between Silistria
and Bazardjik, and that his vanguard has even ad-
vanced as far as Hirchova. The Russian army has,
for the most part, 'returned to the left bank of the
Danube.

Thirty thousand Russians will ;mart) Wallachia;
which will secure it from any invasion of the Turks.
Considerable reinforcements are also expected from
the interior of Russia.
The prices of all kinds of necessaries of life have
risen considerably.
