NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.

BERMS, JULY 26.—(CAMP AT BAZARDJIK, JULY
11.)—The Emperor left Karassu on the 6th July,
and, after a march of three days, arrived with the
head-quarters at Bazardjik; this town was already
occupied by our advanced posts. The inhabitants
had abandoned it, and the enemy made no at-
tempt to defend himself there, though he had pre-
viously seemed to have had• an intention of con-
centrating his force there. The advanced posts had
scarcely passed Bazardjik, when they met with a de-
tachment of the enemy's cavalry, 4,000 in number,
which had been sent from Schumla to reconnoitre,
under the command of Hassan Pacha, the same who
was opposed to us OR the passing of the Danube..
The enemy was immediately repulsed, and took -
flight. Since then they have no where stood their
ground, but constantly retreat on the approach of
our troops. General Keidiger, in pursuing them,
has arrived in the neighbourhood of Kosloudji, or
Couslidich.

On the left wing our troops have occupied Ko-
varna ; this place is very important, on account of
its port. A division has marched towards Varna, in
order to invest that fortress. On the right wing
General Roth has passed the Danube at Hirchova,
in order to commence the siege of Silistria. He has
been succeeded in the principalities of Moldavia and
Wallachia by the corps of cavalry under the com-
mand of General Borodzia. On this point, as well
as every other, the enemy's patrole retreat as soon
as they see our troops.
The Imperial Army has been reinforced by the
corps of Gen. Woinow, and by the divisions that took
Matchin, Hirchova, and Toultcha. We shortly ex-
pect the fleet under Admiral Greig, and the brigade
under General Prince Menzikow, which was em-
ployed in the siege of Anapa. Hussein Paella, who
commands the enemy's troops on this side of the
Balkan, remains at the head of the army of Schumla,
respecting the strength of which the accounts are
uncertain. The enemy does not appear to intend to
advance to meet us.—Prussian State Gazette,
July 27.
BISTULZ (TRANSYLVANIA), JULY 13.—A regi-
ment of cavalry, and two of infantry, have marched
past Bucharest towards Little Wallachia, where
the Turks are beginning to be very numerous at the
tete de pont of Kalafat. On this account the corps
of General Witt, amounting to 60,000 men, will
enter the Principalities ; at the same time Ghiur-
gevo is seriously attacked. Kutshuk Achmed Pa-
ella, the Governor, is said frequently to harass, by
sallies, the besieging corps under Baron Geismar.
A Russian courier, who passed through this place
on the 3d instant, on his way to Vienna, affirms that
the epidemic at Buchares% is certainly not the
plague. ,o7'•
On the Ist of July, Prince Meschtchasky, in
company of Lieutenant-Colonel O'Donnel (in the
British service), passed through Hermanstadt, on the
way to Bucharest.
In Wallachia the Russians have required 180,000
loads of hay, at 650 oka per load, and 16,000 men
are ordered to the Danube, to make hay. On the
declaration of the Boyards that they cannot possibly
raise the military contribution of ten millions, the
Russian Government will advance the money, on an
engagement for the repayment in sixteen years,
with the interest-; 20,000 Dutch ducats have arrived
at Bucharest from head-quarters. Moldavia is to
furnish 16,000 fat oxen, and Wallachia 3,400.
Count Pablen has promised to pay for the half in
ready money. The Consul-General Minziacky is to
go as Governor to Jassy.
The Turks in Silistria have made a sally, with a
con,"iderable force, towards Kalarach and Slobodzie.
At Bucharest they are in daily expectation of the
news of th taking of Varna, where the Emperor
will fix his head-quarters, and while the centre at-
tacks Schumla, will prosecute his operations against

ANTWERP, JULY 29.—Yesterday afternoon, at
half-past four o'clock, arrived here the William 1.,
Captain Langhetee. The Journals (and, among
others, the Lloyd's List of the Bth instant) an-
nounced the capture of this ship by the Buenos
Avres privateer the Libertador Bolivar, off Cabo
Frio, on 2d April last. The passengers were put
on board the Falcon, an English vessel. The pri-
vateer took away all Captain Langlietee's crew, ex-
cept his son and the cook, and put on board a crew
of ten men and a prize-master, The latter ordered
the vessel to the bay of Ail Saints, on the coast of
Patagonia, in lat. 40. south.
After sailing three days along the Patagonian
coast, and experiencing a violent storm, Captain
Langhetee persuaded the crew to give up the trade
of privateering and assist him to return to Europe.
The prize-master alone was inexorable, and it was
necessary to reduce him to obedience by threatening
to throw him into the sea. To avoid meeting with
any privateer, Captain Langhetee sailed to 43. south
latitude, and then steered his course for Europe,
and arrived yesterday afternoon at Flushing, after a
voyage of sixty-three days, in want of provisions,
and after having been forced to put under confine-
ment the prize-master and some of the crew, whose
conduct excited suspicion.
VIENNA, JULY 22.—Yesterday we had a dread-
ful hurricane, which continued for some hours, and
has done much damage.

BRUSSELS, JULY 31.—His Royal Highness the
Plince of Orange set out for the Hague yesterday

evening.
LEIPSIC, JULY 12.—A Sardinian vessel arrived
here on the 10th, in seven days, from Algiers. It
sailed from that port in open day because the wind
kept the French squadron at a distance. The Cap-
tain affirms that the inhabitants of Algiers care but
little for the blockade.

THE FORGE its.—lt will be seen that the bang
of forgers, whose conviction we mentioned last week, has
escaped the extreme penalty of the law. The lives of all
the members of it are to be spared, although they are to
spend the remainder of those lives in exile. We under-.
stanel that the reason why these men have been allowed to
escape that punishment, which has been so often inflicted
for offences irnilar in kind, but far less aggravated in their
circumstances, is, that they have engaged to communicate
all the information wSicli they possess as to those who are
" behind," that is as to t;:ose by whom they were instigated,
and by whom they were sup,,ilied with the instruments of
forgery. No one who saw the prisoners standing at the
bar at York, and observed their appearance, could believe
that they were what is called " the topmen," that is, that
they were the men who manufactured the
whichtime
sions were made. Their circutnatances and education were
evidently not above those of COLDII4OII labourers, and they
certainly did not possess the intelligence and skill
which
f whior-
ch
are necessary to manufacture even a very
.indiffere
gery. What has happened on this oc,caston must have
shown the real forgers--those who are behind--that
traffic in which they have been concerned is as dangerous
to themselves as it is injurious to their country, and have
convinced them, that their associates will always be per-
fectly ready to make their own peace by delivering them
np to justice. They may assure themselves, that if they
a.;e once discovered, their career will be short enough.—

NATURAL HISTORY OP L
°MISTS.— It is
highly interesting to witness the habits of these insects on
their leaving the holes or crevices in the earth. after
breaking their prison-house, they crawl up the twigs of the
shrubs during the night, and remain until the heat of the
sun the next morning h driedthereiorf burstinga

when the insect acquires the power
and taking flight. There seems to be no regularity what-
every in the time of appearance of these destructivex
g insects.
and
In the southern parts of the United States, ,E p
the eastern parts of Turkey, they sometimes make their
appearance in countless myriads, committing the moat ter-
rible devastation on vegetation, and, again disappearing
in
a few weeks, do not repeat their visits for several years._
The sources from whence these destructive insects proceed
to their periodical though irregular migrations remain in a
great measure unknown, though they are prouuled to be as
follows :—The insects deposit an immense number of eggs
in the crevices, of the soil, but the great majority do Not
form lame except under peculiar circumstances of humi-
dity and high temperature combined. The eggs in some
eases are known to retnaiu several years in the crevices
of the earth before the larva make their appearance,—
