surprise, at has:sent a tattalion onsifalVA and two
squadrons of light cavalry to occupy the Midge of
Sytjan, in order to oppose the passage of the enemy
over the Schyl. The corps of Prince Scherbatow is
following the army of the Danube, and it is believed
that it has been resolved at head-quarters, above all
things, to get possession of Silistria and Varna, in order
to obtain, by means of those two fortresses, a secure
basis for the operations, and in case of need, to cover
the winter quarters of the army. For this purpose
the corps of General Roth is to be reinforced, and
the subsistence of the army be sent as far as is pos-
sible from this place. The army is said to be par-
ticularly in want of forage, and hardly 4,000 men
to be still mounted. A quantity of hay has indeed
arrived from Odessa at Kustendje, but the whole
was soon consumed ; and it is said that it has been
necessary to feed the horses with wheat flour, which,
together with the bad water, that contains a great
quantity of calcareous particles, increases the mor-
tality. The men too have suffered much from sick-
ness; the hospitals are, however, amply provided
with every requisite, and the most judicious mea-
sures are taken, so that most of the sick soon re-
cover, and are fit for service.
Commercial houses have received the news that a
capitulation has been offered to the garrison of
Varna, but it has refused it; and that the bombard.
ment of the town has recommenced, which was all
in flames. Silistria is also said to be vigorously born-
-barded.

VIENNA, OCT. 30,

Count Lebezeltern and Prince Kinoki, who were
at Genoa, waiting for the arrival of her Majesty
Queen Maria da Gloria, have now received orders
to return hither. The inhabitants of Vienna are
making various preparations to celebrate the fete of
our beloved Sovereign. The theatres and the pub-
lic walks and gardens will be speedily illuminated.

SEMLLN, SUPT. 24.

The rebels in Bosnia are said to be still in a state
of complete insurrection, and intend to make them-
selves wholly independent of the Porte. The new
Vizier, who was.to succeed Abdul Rahnatm, and take
the chief command in Bosnia, has not been able to
make himself more obeyed at Bosna Serai than his
predecessor, and was compelled by them to retire to
Travnick. The new Vizier:was formerly Se'leder of
the Pacha of Rudschuck : he has retained all the
troops that Abdul Rabman Pacha had under his
command, and has brought him orders to go to the
army in Rumelia, for which he accordingly set out
on the 31st of August.

The French Papers of Monday contain no
news from the East later than that already re-

ceived. Doubts are thrown upon the rumoured

retreat and disorganization of the Rm.

siaii army before Shornla, especially as the

retreat was said to be so rapid. That the

Russians made a retrograde movement is allowed

by themselves ; but then it was only with the
sick, wounded, and baggage ; the fighting part
of the army was not likely to make a precipitate
retreat before the disabled portion was safe in
the rear. The situation of the force besieging

Varna, too, was another strong reason for pru-
dent conduct. But the accounts in the Ger-
man Papers for the last week were full of the
retreat and destruction of the Russian Army.
The fact is, that many of the German Papers are
under the influence of speculating people who
build much upon probabilities, and scruple not
to take whatever advantage they can, by the disse-
mination of probable but false reports. At Con-
stantinople the note of preparation was still the
order of the day. The SULTAN superintended
every thing, and infused a portion of his own
extraordinary energy into his admiring subjects.

We direct the attention of those interested in
the consumption of coals, and who will not
be interested shortly, to what transpired
at the Surrey Sessions yesterday. The frauds
alleged to have been practiced, if suffered to con-
tinue, will be as dishonourable to the Magistrates
as they have been disgraceful to the parties im-
plicated.

In another column will be found an article
upon the representation of Birmingham in Par-
liament, from a spirited little periodical publica-

ion in that town.

lithe spirit of intolerance be not roused in Kent

it will not be for want of fitting provocatives,
both Clerical and Military. In another part of
our Paper will be found two Addresses to the
Men of Kent, both having the same object
in view—Cant and Hypocrisy---one from
Lord HARRIS, who left: all his charity on
the plains of Hindostan—and the other by the
Clerical Magistrates of Kent—observe—the
pious Magistrates who wish to see the peace-
able plains of Kent converted into scenes of
popular commotion, with the laudable view no
doubt of showing their own Magisterial alacrity
in suppressing whatever tumults may arise out
of their disinterested appeal to the people.
But both these worthies—Lord HARRIS on
the one hand, and the Clerical Magistracy on
the other—have been so well handled by two
of our contemporaries in another part of the Paper,
that we are saved the trouble of doing more than
referring the well-wishers of both, to the articles
from the Times and Chronicle. No doubt the
Noble Lord, and the Reverend Gentlemen are
sincere in their wish to do good, but unfortunately
for themselves, and still more so for the men of
Kent if they follow such advice, they have taken
the wrong way to benefit their fellow subjects in
pocket, or enlighten them in mind—especially in

that charitable virtue which would do unto
others as they would be done by. But let
us hope that the men of Kent will think for
themselves—and so disappoint the stirrers up of
Anti-Chrittiaui principles, from motives as inte-
rested as they are intolerant,
