HERMANSTADT, OCT. 6.—Little Wallachia has
become the theatre of a war of partisans between
the two armies, in which the Pacloa of IA ulthn and
General Geismar display all their skill. To-day the
Turks fall on the Russians, and endeavour to cut cif
tioir communications with Bucharest; to-morrow the
..:{:ssians have the advantage, and compel the Turks
to return to their intrenchments. The arena is the
t..rt between Kalafat and Crajova, which place re-
un-jns in the possession of Cle. Russians. Last week
General Geismar beat 10,000 Turks, and took con-
siderable booty : encouraged by this victory, and not
regarding the inferior number of his troops, he re-
solved to advance towards Kalafat. We hear to-day
that he has been compelled to retreat. It may be
imagined what is the condition of Little 'Wallachia,
lately so floo:ishing. Friends and enemies pity the
unfortunate inhabitants of this district, and traits of
the most affect;ng beneficence are frequently seen.
SEMLLS, OCT. 9.--Letters from Orso., a, written
to Jewish houses here, say that the army of the
Grand Vizier is near 'Varna, and that his vanguard
has fallen' in with a detachment of the Imperial
Russian Guards. At the beginning, the Turks, who
were greatly superior in numbers, had the advantage;
but the Russian detachment hiving been reinforced,
the enemy was put to flight, and suffered great loss.
These letters add, that both armies are in the
most deplorable condition, worn out with feigue,
and suffering extremely from the season and from
want of subsistence. Several executions, say tile
the letters, have taken place in the Turkish army.
It seems, as they state, that the Russian army before
Varna is no means sufficiently numerous to invest
the vast extent of that place, and that, order to
effect this object, part of the army has been with-
drawn from krore Shumla.

These letters give very interesting notes respect-
ing the present state of the two Principalities and
of the southern provinces of Russia. They eindea-
v-our to prove that corn will rise to an excessive
height, and that it is advisable to provide against
this event, by making large purchases immediately.
In fact, large orders are given at Semlin for wheat
and nats, but the stock of the latter is small. Many
great landowners in Hungary intend to send large
quantities of liquors, particularly brandy, to Dal-
matia, in order to embark them for the Morea.
All is quiet in Servia, but Prince Milosch remains
under arms against the Paella of Nissa.—Agsburgh

PARIS, Our. 26.—A person worthy of entire con-
n,ience, who left Vienna on the 17th instant, and
who has just arrived at Paris, brings the following
news, as reports that Were in circulation at Vienna :
" I did not depart till after the arrival of the mail
from Constantinople, and I have it from a very
high quarter, that it brought the news that the
Turks have succeeded in throwing 25,000 men into
Yarns, with 30 pieces of cannon, and a great quan-
tity of ammunition and provisions ; that the ad-
vanced position on the right bank of the Danube,
which they occupy in the back of the Russian army,
places the rear of that army in a very dangerous
po-ition, and that it is no longer in the power of the
Russians to go into winter quarters."
