CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 25.—Though, since the
last post, the Turks have received the joyful rieel
that the Russians have abandoned their positiol.o
before Shurela, and raised the siege of Silistria,
Porte has not published any thing official ur irrofficif
on the subject. This is an evidence of the spirit °A
indifference which distinguishes the Turks in ge°;
as well as in bud fortune. Besides this, the Muse'"
.:
mans had declared in the month of August, that 1,7
Russians had failed in the campaign, so that theft
retreat seems a thing of course, and has made 1111.e
impression on them than in Pere, where, especial',
after the fall of Varna, it was thought likely til°'
the Russians would winter in Bulgaria.
The continued bad weather seems to cheek di°
operations of the Grand Vizier, and is a great
hindrance to the communications. Tartars 'that
used to came in three or roar days from Shunt'
now take ten or twelve days. The Porte is tau'.
ing active preparations for the next campaign- NOt.,
withstanding the blockade now declared. ships der'
arrive; and within these four days 200,000 kil9e
of corn have been received, by which the Or
gumption of the capital has been secured for tit°
months • the prices, however, rise, from apprehel.l",
sions of what may happen.
On the 19th and 19th inst. 27 merehanttaet

were pursued on their voyage by Greek emigre'
but vigorously defended themselves. As the Rost
blockade will obstruct, if not wholly prevent, tr
arrival of provisions for the capital, the Porte, 'la
order to get rid of useless consumers, issued an order
on the 23d instant, by which all unmarried Grew

courier with the news of the raiaiug of the siege:
The head quarters of the Grand Viaier were si

The citadel of Yarna is untouched and pro/it'd
with every thing neeessary; so that any attempt
the Turks to get possession of it would prob° r
fail, especially as part of the Russian fleet is etir

tend to remain quiet, and take advantage of re
winter to recover after the hardships they have dog
dergone. Only small marauding parties hover

It is affirmed by scouts that thirty thousand "I't j,
