LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1829.

The KING will arrive in town to-morrow for
the purpose of holding a Council at St. James's
Palace, at Nshich the Recorder of London will
make his report. The Council will be held at
three o clock.

The Messager des Chambres contains an
article, dated Berlin, which gives a still more
favourable account of the progress of the Rus-
sians than their own bulletins. The valour and
determined resistance of the Turks, in the battle
near Shuntla, obtain due praise, but nothing
could avail. The Russian army is said to be
well supplied with provisions, and the soldiers
are animated with the most warlike enthusiasm.
The fall of Silistria is considered not only cer-
tain, but immediate. Indeed we apprehend
that the Russian Eagles wave on its battlements
at this moment.

The capture of Silistria will not only decide
the late of the campaign, but that of the other
fortresses on the Danube—Rudshuck, Gieur-
gevo, and Widdin, must open their gates or be
carried by storm.

But it is firmly believed that negociations are
now going on for peace, and if so, the Turks
will escape much loss, humiliation, and shame.
The result of the last campaign redounded to
their credit, and the present might have added to
their laurels, had they wisely persevered in a
defensive system of warfare ; but their impru-
dence in the battle of Kuloutscha has for-
feited all their former advantages, and has ac-
celerated the fate of their strong-holds on the
Danube, if it has not even endangered the safety
of Sliumla itself. Negotiation, at this juncture,
is, we think, the wisest course for both parties—
the Turks as well as the Russians. The Rus-
sians will not be allowed to take Constantinople,
even supposing they could do so,—they are,
therefore, only
throwing away human life, and
