songs offensive to Charles X. It is felt that it
would be base to abandon him,.and on the other
hand one cannot defend him without converting,
all our questions of principle into personal ques-
tions. What will astonish you is, that M. Du-
pin, our celebrated Jurisconsult, was consulted
with respect to the publication of the songs, and
he advised it. This having become known, he
found himself embroiled with Royalty, or to
speak more properly, 'with the Kin... Being
thus- mixed up in the affair by a blunder which
his 'clerk even would not have.. committed; he
made, through Beranger;,a'disavowal of having
counselled the publication, but no one in Paris
is duped by it.

MuEssit, Nov. 19.—Within these feWdaYs
favourable news from the lheatie of' war has been
• received in this town. The following statement
appears to be nearest the truth :
General Rudzewitsch was ordered to cover with
, the .third corps the movement of the Russian army
_from
.Shuinia to Silistria, where it. was to join the
6th corps, under General Roth, and.- that under
Prince Scherbatoff. In this retreat, General Rudze-
Witsch is said to have been closely pursued and at-
tacked by Hussein Paella in person. The Russians
are' said to have lost 800 men, and a..great part of
their baggage.
" in .eonsequenee of the illness of. Prince Scher-
batoff, Count Langeron had the chief command of
the troops besieging Silistria, but the dreadful
weather, the overflowing of the rivers, the rain, and'
uninterrupted stor,n of snow, obliged the Generals
to raise the siege of- Silistria. All the cattle have
perished, the greater part of the artillery is lost, mid
;he troopsbave been exposed to the greatest privations.;
. The campaign is cpnsitlered to be: finished."--

NOV.' 20.—We learn that the command of
, Varna has been cEinfined to General Roth, who has
a ,garrison of 6,0(10 men. ',The Turk's again began
to show therriseN•es in the environs of that place,
'1 he new Grand • Vizier is at Paravadi. All the
Russian troops are-in full march towards the Danube;
• their retreat is impeded by, the, inclemency of a
most rigorous season, and all, sorts of unfavourable
Accounts'are invented and published respecting them,
(Fiem the Courier Francais.) .
PARTS, DEC. 8.--The, newsTroin the seat-of war
spews that the Russians will be under the necessity
of having a 4,iipter sarqqgn, the capture of Varna
having been followed;by-such deided reverses as to
force the Russian army to retreat.' Its head-quarters
were at Jassy on . Nov. 'l9th;' that success has-he-
eotne'unimporrant, and the Sultan appears to have
gaiUed from that disaster, and his former successes,
fresh energy. He has resolved, it is ,aid, to recap--
nee 'Varna, whatever it msy cost. The. whole na-
tion is Called-6h. to take up arms; the new Vizier
seems- t 6 • inspire confidence,- and if the Sidtan can
complutticare. iiis'ardour to his people, and Make. the
:latrund; the position of .the Rua..iatis,. Who

These- circumstances appearnot to have been fere-

may contemplate, it is to tie apprehended that they
will not have -any weight against the inerpasing bold-
ness and derbands of the Tur.li,;, who, doubtless, will
not show less obstinacy in their success than in their
defeats.

(From the Constitutionnelj
PARIS, 1:1. S.-7—Wis,hing- to' satisfy our readers
of the danger they run by buying into the Spanish
Stocks, we shall place befote them an account of
the revenues of that country, according-.to Minano,
who was furnished with the documents ,by N. Bal-
lasteros, the Finance Mitaister.

Thus, as the ical is equal to five sous French, the.
Spanish Revenue amounts to 73,134,556 francs.--
The Government mti,:t pay its Army, 60,000 men;
its Navy, its Ambassadors, in short, all the Public-
Departments,. hot including the expenses of the
Royal Family. The. expenses of these may be esti-
mated at from 130 to 140 millions (francs). The
English have refused to allow the Spanisli• funds to
be quoted on their Exchange, and not alarthing is
vested in paper, which they know is not. 'fit even for
papillotes. ll Spanish Government has just
agreed to pay its debt to the English in money, and
M. Aguado is raising money on Spanish Stock at
Paris for this purpose. Thus the Parisian's are to
pay the Spanish debts. Under the Ministry of M.de Villele, the Syndic of the Stock-brokers refused
to allow the Spanish Stock to be'-quoted • but that
Minister ordered it to receive the same advantage as
other Stocks. We hope the present Finance
ter will put an end to this delusion. • .
MORE FRAUD AT THE -POST-OFFICE.—The fa-
mous Black Cabinet has left unfortunate traditions
at the Post-Office, as the following letter willshow ;
