GERMAN PAPERS.

CAMP BEFORE STLISTRIA, JUNE 6.—On the 4th
June, at ten in the evening, the Turks, with un-
exampled boldness, attacked our centre, and passed
the second parallel, as well as the battery No. 33,
on our left wing. Under favour of the night they
approached to our first entrenchments, when they
suddenly commenced a brisk fire, and attempted to
advance towards the centre of our batteries, but
would have been surrounded by our troops under
General Goteschkow, had they not been repulsed
by a battalion of the 37th Regiment, Their attack
upon our left wing was equally unsuccessful ; the
second Turkish column fled precipitately, and
escaped into the fortress before it could be over-
taken. Our loss consists of 20 killed, and 86
wounded. The Turks left 40 dead behind. De-
serters state their loss at 9,000 men.
The inhabitants and the garrison of Sili‘tria la-
ment their fate, as they are no where safe from our
balls; they have lost all courage since we have
ruined their entrenchments.
FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JUNE 12.—1 n the
night of the .sth the Turks made another sally from

Silistria, in which they surprised the Russian en-
trenchments in the dark, and caused great injury to
the besiegers, but were at last repulsed by them,
and compelled to retreat into the fortress. The loss
of the Russians is said to be 150 killed, and 300
wounded; that of the Turks is not known.
The wounded are now conveyed by water from
Calarash to Odessa, on account of the fevers pre-
vailing in the hospitals of Wallachia. In Bucharest
no change has lately taken place, but it is unfortu-
nately confirmed that the disease has broken out at
Gallacz. The military hospitals at Brailow are said
ro have been almost cleared by the contagion. The
merchants at Bucharest are called upon to pay
225,000 piastres, which sum is required by the
Divan to establish new hospitals. The Boyards
are to pay for their part two millions of piastres, in
order to maintain for five months 2,000 waggons for
the army. However, they will not agree to this,
and say that they will furnish the waggons them-
selves, which, at least, will not cost them any ready
money.—Hamburgh Papers, July 7.
UTRECIIT, JULY 7.—We have received the
following accounts from Belize, in the Bay of Hon-
duras, dated July 1 :—Last Sunday, the Dutch
frigate, P alas, arrived here from Omoa, having on
board Major-General Verveer, his Majesty's Ambas-
sador to the States of Central America. We under-
stand that his Excellency intends to exert himself
to put an end to the civil war which desolates that
unhappy country, though we greatly fear that his
endeavours will be in vain.—Dutch Papers, July 11.

KRAJOVA, JUNE 18.—Since the taking 'of Ra-
chova, the Russians have advanced as far as Lami,
and have there intercepted a courier who was to
carry a sum of nearly 400,900 piastres to Widdin.
The Russians are fortifying Rachova with great
diligence.
FRONTIERS OF WALLACIIIA, JUNE 16.-21 he
great victory obtained by Count Diebitsch over the
Grand Vizier was made public at Bucharest on the
14th. On the 13th, according to official reports,
there were sixteen new cases of disease in the city,
of these eight are since dead. A physician, sent by
the President, to make inquiries at Brailow, Gal-
lacz, Hobay...a, and other places where there are
Russian hospitals, reports that the same disorder
prevails there as at Bucharest. A remittance of
72,000 ducats and 2,000,000 of piastres, in silver,
was lately received at Bucharest for the army.
Silistrid is bombarded with great vigour, and one
of the suburbs is reduced to ashes; but Achmet
Pacha will not hear of a surrender.
The sally on the 4th of June caused the Russians
great loss, as it was made in the night, and unex-
pected by the army. Thus the brave young Gen.
Suchlen and Lieut.-Colonel Baron Rzensy were said
to have been killed.* Gen. Kipelew sent to the
Governor of Ghiurgevo a written summons to sur-
render, to which the Pacha returned no answer.
The General at length asked for one, when be let
him know that the contents of his letter needed no
reply.

VThe official account, which we have given in the
Allgerneine Zeitung, does not mention the deaths of
these officers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 11. - Since the las

post such large supplies of provisions of all
kinds have been brought in under the protec-
tion of the fleet, that no want is felt. The
Pachas of Natolia send heavily laden coasting ves-

sels, which get as near as possible to the Bos-
phorus, and take advantage of the time when the
fleet is at sea to run into the channel. The Rus-

sian frigate, the Raphael, of 48 guns and 380 men,
arrived here on the 29th ult. It is a very fine fri-
gate, and surrendered without resistance, but the
Captain was a Greek. On the other hand, a most
valiant resistance was made by a Russian brig
which escaped, and by a corvette which suffered
severely, and afterwards sunk near Iniada.
On the 7th, when the Capitan Pacha put to sea,
a cannonade was heard the whole day from Kara-
bavnu, and there is no doubt that a naval battle
took place; we are impatient to hear the events :
the capture of a Russian steam-boat is reported.
VIENNA, JULY I.—Metalliques, 98/; Bank
Shares, I,lo64.—Allgemeine Zeitung, July 6.

BERLIN, JULY 6.—The Journal of St. Peters-
burgh of the 28th of June, gives an account of an
attack made by the Turks to make themselves mas-
ters of a position occupied by the Russians opposite
the entrenched camp of Wargerob, which the enemy
occupied in the inaccessible defiles on the bank of
the Danube in Little Wallachia. The Turks, 2,000
strong, were repulsed in their attacks, and then
charged with the bayonet; they lost 200. men. The
same Journal says, "At the same time with this
report, his Majesty received the news of the dis-
graceful surrender of the Raphael frigate, com-
manded by Capt. Stroinekoff, which struck .to the
enemy without any resistance whatever."—Prussian
State Gazette, July 6.
ODESSA, JUNE 25.—The news that General
Diebitsch has sent M. Fonton to the Grand Vizier
is confirmed. Some think he is commissioned to
propose terms of peace, Count Diebitsch having
full powers from the Emperor to negotiate. Others,
however, say that he is only sent to summon Shumla
to surrender.
MAESTRICIIT, JULY 9.—We are happy to say
M. de Broukere is re-elected Member of the Cham-
ber of Deputies.—Brussels Papers July 11.

DEATH OF THOMAS SHELTON, ESQ. On
Friday night, THOMAS SHELTON, Esq., Coroner for the
city of London and borough of Southwark, and upwards
of forty years Clerk of Arraigns at the Old Bailey, expired
at his residence in the city. Mr. SHELTON had been in a
declining state of health for some time past ; and until
the last few days was unremitting in attention to the
duties of Coroner, and only ten days since presided at an
inquest in the city. We understand he was in his 82d
year. The situations Mr. SHELTON held were both very
lucrative; and we have heard he has died possessed of
considerable property. The vacant places are in the gift
of the Corporation of London. Mr. SHELTON was univer-
sally respected by a large circle of friends.
NORTH MAIL.—At the Ross-shire Meet-
ing on Friday last, it was resolved to send a copy of Sir
GEORGE MACKENZIE'S letter to the Convener, on the sub-
ject of the conveyance of the North Mail by the Highland
Road, to the Poet-office Department in London, with an
earnest request that the plan contained in it should be
adopted with such modification as might seem to be neces-
sary in practice. It was at the same time recommended
that the Burghs should send separate memorials. The
county of Inverness has also stirred in the matter, and we
think it is highly probable that the plan will be adopted.
It has been sufficiently proved that communication by the
Highland road is as little likely to be impeded by snow as
the coast road, by which the mail is now transmitted.—
Inverness Courier.
THE WEATHER.—We have had a good
deal of rain since our last, more perhaps than has fallen
during the whole of the summer, which will prove highly
advantageous to the farmer, excepting were engaged in
sheep-shearing, an operation which is now in full progress.
On Friday week, the village of Grantown was visited by a
tremendous thunder storm, in consequence of which seve-
ral panes if glass were broken throughout the village.
Hail-stones also fell of an extraordinary size. The storm
was very local in its operation, for at Dava, only six miles
distance, there was no rain.--Inverness Courier.
GROUSE.—The reports from the moors this
season are favourable for the sportsman. The grouse
having met with no interruption during the period of in-
cubation, piornise to be in fine condition by the 12th of
August, and to have fewer cheepers amongst them than
has has been the case for many years p d
t.
