CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 12.—The distress and
want of provisions have greatly increased for some
time past. A new order of the Government abolishes
the monopoly of the corn trade, which has hitherto
subsisted, and it is hoped that measure will check
the spirit of usury, and that many concealed stores
will he brought to light. A few ships with corn
have also arrived lately from the Black Sea. The
festival of the Bairam has passed over with the usual
ceremonies. The news received from Teheran of
the murder of the Russian Ambassador and his
suite has convinced the Turks that war between
Russia and Persia will certainly break out again.
ODEss.s.—We have news from Asiatic Turkey,
Which says that it is reported in the Pachalics
which we have conquered that the Turks are col-
lecting a very great force at Erzerourn. It is also
said that the son of the Pacha of Egypt is coming
with a large corps of regular troops. It is evident
that the Turks are making every exertion to begin
the campaign early. Meantime they are actively
engaged in strengthening the fortifications of Erze-
roum. They are digging trenches, repairing the
walls, making palisades, and erecting batteries in
many places.
All the accounts we receive by sea as well as by
land agree that the distress at Constantinople is
daily increasing. Not only corn and rice, but every
ether kind of provision, is scarce. Meat costs five
piasters per oka, N%lrich is an extraordinary high
price for that city.
P.tßls, MAY B.—Mr. Gordon, the new English
Ambassador to the Porte, passed through Genoa on
the 27th of April, and set out the same day, in-
tending to proceed by Florence to Naples.

NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.

BERLIN, MAT 6.

The Journal of Odessa contains the following Bul-
letin :—" Hussein Pacba; who had assembled near
Bout-gas, 4,000 infantry, and about 1,500 cavalry, at-
ta,ked• on the 9th April, at day break, with his whole
force, the Mountain Redoubt, near Sigeholi, whilst
Major Lebedeff, with the two battalion of the regiment
Asoff defended with the greatest bravery the attack. The
Turks were enabled, in spite of the fire of grape shotf-om
from eight guns, supported by a well-directed fire of
musketry, and by grenades that were thrown out of the
trenches. An officer of the regular troops in the suit of
Hussein P:cha and three other Turks, succeeded in
ciimbir.g the parapet and penetrating to the interior of the
Redoubt, where they fell pierced with wounds. At the
moment of the first alarm, the troops forming the garrison
of Sigeholi, assembled with astonishing rapidity on the
Pr •
leade before the place from which Geneal Wachten
sent Chem against the enemy, viz. :—two battalions
to the right, and two to the left, he himself, at the
bead of one of these battalions, and two guns, sup-
ported by the regiment of Daieprofsk, marched against
the right flank of the enemy, which was attacking
the gate of the redoubt with great impetuosity. All the
troops advanced with drums beating and loud huizas, and
rushed on the enemy with fixed bayonets, the two guns
keeping up a brisk tire of grape shot. The Turks, at-
tacked by a most violent fire were wholly broken, and
fled in the greatest confusion. They were pursued to the
farthest heights, where they sought refuge in the wood,
and so retreated over the mountains to Bourgas. During
the attack the fire of our gun-boats, placed on our right
wing was very effectual. The loss of the enemy must
have been very great, for besides a great number of killed
and wounded that the Turkish cavalry carried off, we
counted in the ditches, and to the place where the pur-
suit eased, 251 killed. We took five prisoners. We
had 27 subalterns and privates 'killed, and one staff officer,
five superior officers, and 67 subalterns and privates,
wounded. Major Wachten received a contusion in the
foot by a /lA.—Russian State Gazette, May 6.
