GERMAN PAPERS.

(Extraordinary Supplement to the Journertilt St. Peters-

burgh of the 24th May.)

ST. rETERSBURGII, MAY 24.--His Majesty the
Emperor received, on the 18th, at Tiraspol, a report
from Count Wittgenstein, dated the 16th of May,
which contains the following details :
The city of Bucharest was occupied on the 12th
by the vanguard of the 6th corps of infantry, com,
inanded by Major-General Baron Geismar. The
movement, executed with so much rapidity, has
prevented all hostile attacks, and saved the capital
of Moldavia from the ruin with which it was threat-
ened by the Turks.

The inhabitants received our troops with the
most lively marks of sincere joy. The Metropoli-
tan of Wallachid accompanied by all his clergy, came
out to rec.dive them, and afterwards performed in the
eathefir:iti a solemn Tc hewn, to return thanks for
this event.

The fortress of Brailow was invested on the Ilth
of May, arid the preparations for the siege are pro-
ceeding with great activity; the heavy artillery ar-
rived on the 16th of May, and the siege of that for-
tress, the direction of which his Imperial Majesty
has confided to the Grand Duke Michael, will pro-
bably commence immediately after the arrival of his
Imperial Highness, who is also expected ©n the 17th.
before that place. According to all the information
that has been obtained on this subject, it seems that
the garrison is very weak, not exceeding 3,000 men,
including the armed inhabitants.

Since— ou►r troops have approached Brailew, the
Enemy hab attempted several inconsiderable sallies,
in which he has always been repulsed with much
toss; there has not, however, been any action of
importa►aee.

BERLIN, MAY 3.—News was received yesteEday
from Odessa, dated May 28, according to which their
Majesties the Emperor and Empress had arrived there
the day before from Bender.

Ilia Majesty had already been three days at the
siege of Brailow, and intended to return on the 29th
to the army, whose passage over the Danube had
been considerably delayed, because the river was
unusually high.—Prussian State Gazette, June 6.
The Prussian State Gazelle, after giving the Ex-
traordinary Supplement to the St. Petcrsburgh
.journal of May 24, adds:—
According to subsequent accounts, the suburbs
of Brailow have bees taken, and the commander of
the place was expected in a few days. The passage
over the Danube will, it is said, .be shortly effected
by the column stationed at Ismail. All the troops
that can be spared from the Principalities will also
pass the river, and the two corps united, will them
march towards Schumla."

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAy 19.—The Russian de-
claration of wur wwi brought here on the 12th, by
a courier, despatched by the Pacha of Brailow. On
the follow;ng day the Divan assembled to deliberate.
Since tnen, every thing has assumed a warlike ap-
pearance. An order of the Sultan, which has been
read in the mosques, calls on all the Mussulmans,
front the age of 12 to that of 60, to hold themselves
in readiness to take up arms, at the first notice, in
defence of their country and religion. The same
order forbids any one to molest the Rajas and
strangers. The Standard of the Prophet is not yet
hoisted, We hear nothing of the departure of the
Sultan or the Grand Vizier. The Ministers have to-
day paid their farewell visits to Hussein Pacha, who
sets out to-morrow for Bulgaria, to take the chief
command of the irregular troops in that province. The
regular troops will be commanded by Itabil Pacha.
They have partly left this city to march to the Danube.
Their number is estimated at above 30,000 men.
The old Seraskier Chosrew Mehemed Pacha is
.;harped with the defence of the capital and the
training of the recruits. It is said that the militia
of Rumelia will be employed to defend the passes
of Mount Balkan. The old men of war are fitting
out to be employed in defending the approaches to
the capital, under the command of Tahir

highness the hereditary Grand Duchess of Weimar,
kind the Princess, her daughter, arrived ex the 26th
at Pawlowvk, where his Royal ;Highness the Prince
of Orange intended to rctnain till the 3d of June,

Courant, June 11.

A MAN DRowNED•-011 Monday forenoon
a tine young man, of the name of Arina.Ely MILLAR,
w,a drowned at Fisherrow. He and his companions were
proceeding to sea, and, when about a mile from the shore,
lie was blown overboard by a sudden gust of wind, while
engaged in shifting the sail. Although diligent search
has been made, the body was not recovered yesterday after-
noon. Scotsman.

It is related of a certain illustrious personage,
tl at ou his visit to Scotland he was presented with a bottle
of mountain dew that had never been profaned by the stick
of the gauger. He ordered it to be produced one day after
dinner, and without saying any thing of its origin, 'poured
out a glass to Sir WALTER Scorr, who was sitting at the
table. The Baronet made some wry months after tasting
the Glenlivat, which was as hot and strong as the pulpit
eloquence of EDWARD lanNo, upon which the good-
humwured monarch smiled and bid--" Take off your glass,
Sir WALTER ; that is none of your Parliament whisky !"

Mr. JOHN OSBORN, a. fisherman of Cice-
thorpe, well known as one of the civilest of the frequenters
of Lincoln fish-market, met with most brutal treatment on
Thursday evening the sth, while keeping his stall os the
High-bridge. Two fellows, named JOHN and Wit.i.rAm
NELsow, navigators of vessels between Lincoln and Don-
caster, issued from an alehouse completely drunk in quest
of 't fun," and could think of no better joke than that of
.:racking a large crab upon the poor fisherman's head ; this
feat they accomplished ; but, as may be soppoged, not
without severely wounding him in the process. Osimax's
brother, coming to his assistance, was also knocked down,
and treated most barbarously. On being apprehended, the
offenders were compelled to remunerate the OSBORNS for
the loss of their market, and to give two guineas to the
Dispensary, amounting with fees, &c., to 41. in the whole,
as the price of their frolic.--Stamford Mercury.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, isab

The Frtuch Papers of Wednesday have been
received by Express ; they state, on the author
city of letters from Constantinople, that the
REIS EFFENDI had made, in the name of the
SULTAN, declarations to the Minister of the
Netherlands, and another to the effect that all
the Treaties with the European PoWers are, in
the eyes of the Poatv, teit Is Bred as Islamism,
and that therefore the Treaty of Akerman must
be executed. But as France, England, and
Russia, have concluded a Treaty respecting
Greece, which is contrary to Islamism, the
PouTE cannot) in consistency, agree to it;
however, as Islamism is immutable, and the
TORTE feels disposed to negociate, it will be he-
cessary to modify that Treaty. this is, in other
words, according to the peculiar adage of the
Turks—a-" if the mountain will not come to
Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain."


An Extraordinary Suppleinent to the Journal
de St. Petersturgh of the 24th May has been
rectived, which contains a sort of bulletin by
Count WITTGENSTEIN, relative to the operations
of the army. Bucharest, A 8 we already knew, was
occupied on the 12th May by Major General
GttsNt A n.,the rapidity of whose movements saved
the capital of Moldavia from ruin. The fortress of
Braila was invested on the 11th, under the
direction of the Archduke MICHAEL. The
fortress had no chance to hold out.

The Emperor NICHOLAS and the Empress
arriked at Odessa on the 27th.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 19th,
say that the Russian declaration of war had been
received there on the 12th. The circumstance
naturally produced a deep impression on the
Di\ an, who met next day to deliberate on the
effects of their presumptuous Counsels in re-
commending the SULTAN to tempt his destiny
by provoking a war with Russia. Extracts will
be found in another column.

Lord STRANGFORD made some remarks last

night in presenting petitions from Merchants and
Ship-owners of London, touching the preva-
lence of piracy on the coasts of South America,
which well deserve attention. His Lordship's
sentiments are happily of that class which carry
their own condemnation along with them—and
richly do they deserve it. We have not time to-
day to enter into a detailed exposure of the
Noble Lord's hallucinations, and we regret it the
less, as our cotemporary, the Morning Chronicle,
heaps
,coals of living fire upon that thing which
the SULTAN in contemptuous mercy did not think
worthy to place on the gates of the Seraglio.—
' The Pirates i❑ the West Indies 'nay be
bad, but the Buccaneers at home are surely
worse—if we may judge of their acts by the
amenity of their speeches. Where was his
Lordship when the Colonies were in abeyance ?
None like himself could play the Turk so well.

Lord BERESFORD last night made a delicate
allusion to the late Correspondence entered into
by the rebellious faction in Portugal and a certain
Noble party in this country, in which his
Lordship made assurance doubly sure, as far
as public opinion was concerned, in his own
gallant behalf. We understand that his Lord-
ship indites love-letters with all the, mystery of
a telegraphic despatch—
The sword or pen to him is all the same,
If love inspire—or glory be his aim.

The Allgerneine Zeitung of the sth, and
Frankfort Papers of the 6th, have duly arrived,
but their contents are mere speculation as to the
probable turn which affairs may take in the East.
Thev all agree, however, that the independence
of Greece is secured :

BERLIN, MAY 29.

We are here of course very anxious for news from the
theatre of war, and take the greatest interest in the pro-
gress of the Russian army. General Count Nostitz is
going to the bead-quarters of the Russian Emperor, and
we may therefore expect to- receive regularly official in-
formation of all that passes in Turkey. We hear that a
French General also will go to the Russian head-quarters,
and Prince Philip of Hesse Homburgh on the part of
Austria : in this manner, as General Dornberg may be con-
sidered as an English General, all the Great Powers would
have an officer of high rank in the suite of the Russian
Emperor. This etiquette, which has been usual on other
occasions, and particularly in the last campaigns; is remark-
able in the present case, where several Courts still have
their representatives at Constantinople, and may give the
Porte the strongest proof of the unaaimity of all the
Christian Powers, and serve as a warning not to expose
itself to farther and greater danger by its impolitic conduct.
The Courier de Snayrne, of the 3d May, contains a
long article which may be considered as a piece of advice
to the Turkish Government. It shows the necessity of
recognising the Greek revolution. " The results which
have hitherto proceeded from the resistance of tke Divan to
the intervention in favour of the Greeks, are the fleet burnt,
the Greek flag flying on the coasts of Messinia, Ibrahim
reduced to the greatest distress, and the Russians ready to
attack Turkey with their armies assembled on the Pruth;
and in the interior of the Empire, commerce ruined, the
taxes increased, the new institutions checked in their pro-
gress, and a general discontent which is the more felt, as
neither motive nor object can be seen for these long and
severe sacrifices.

,4 The great Statesman who
od
i conceived the Treaty of
London, and whose loss England
deplores, did not wish to
weaken Turkey : he would certainly not have committed
this error, which none but supertielal mindscould impute
to him. He saw how much the war w
the Porte in the opinions of the public,
politicians ; it was evident to him that Greece would, ine
time or other, invoke foreign aid, which would he less
disin-
terested than his own. His 'Treaty, checking by a friendly
the
intervention another rival intervention, though it boretl
appearance of an abuse of power, was, in fact, nothitg
more than a powerful means to deliver the Porte from the
Greek war, and from impending dangers.
" The public opinion of Europe has given to the Greek
revolution a sanction which is equal to the duration of
many years. The Treaty of London, which was itself a
consequence of that opinion, has given it the stamp of le-
gality; combined, they have irrevocably destroyed
the preceding state of things, and opened the way to
new combinations. These combinations are all in favour
of the Porte, if instead of fruitlessly opposing the impulse
which hurries the Greeks to a new order of things, it knows
low to command and direct it. This is offered to it.
iPerhaps, hut a short time is left it to signify its acceptance.
Events of the most serious importance are at band, and
may baffle at once all the calculatious of human wisdom.
Can the Porte flatter itself that its calculations alone are
infallible? The Porte has hitherto discussed the question

of right ; abstractedly coasideied the right is on its side ;
but the fact is on the aide of the intervention ; and ih p01i-

tical questions when they come to a certain point, the fact
prevails over the right, and becomes itself right." After
some further observatithis, tending to show that the in-
dependence of Greece is iibw So far established;
fact, and in public opinion, that it caliniit depend ott
the ziptice of politics, and that even differences arising
among the intervening Powers can have no influence
on it, the Courier concludes thin this. state
'of thing's the noblest patt ofrere itself to the
haihiely, that of protecting the revolution which influenced
by prejudices to which he is now superior he hitherto
thought it advisable to subdue. As soon as he consents to
this, all difficulties vanish ; peace and tranquillity are re-
stored to the empire, commerce revives, the new system
developer itself without obstacle, and the Greek revolu-
tion loses at once the character of confusion and disorder;
°t is only an improvement prosecuted under the eye of a
Sovereign, who is elevated enough to pardon offences, and
generous enough to avenge himself by a benefit. All the
friends of the Porte will give it the same advice that the
Persian poet Sadi gave td Kings in the following verse:—
" Re merciful; learn to conquer without armies;
reign over the hearts of mortals, and then you will have
subdued the world."
