NEWS PROM -THE AR-MY •TN TURKEY,

OF JANUARY 23, 24, AND 25.

ST. PETERSBURG FEB. 25.—Field Marshal
Count Wittgenstein gives an account from the re-
ports of General Roth, who commands the troops
in Bulgaria, of the entire success of the reconnois-
sances made on the 23d and 24th January, in the
environs of Bazardajik and Paravady. Lieutenant-
General Rudiger had sent two detachments to drive
the enemy from the villages near our advanced
posts, towards Shumla and Silistria. Lieutenant-
Colonel Patton set out on the 23d January from
Auschenti, with the Ist battalion of the 35th Regi-
ment of Chasseurs, and fifty cossacks, and took the
road to Enikoi ; at the distance of seven wersts
from that village, near Omourkloi, he was surround-
ed by fifteen hundred cavalry. He immediately
formed his battalion in a square, repulsed the Turks,
after an obstinate combat of three hours, and pur-
sued them with- the bayonet. The loss of the enemy,
who was superior in number, was very considerable.
We had only 13 killed, and 49 wounded. Lieut.-
Colonel Patton, after having dispersed the Turks,
returned the next day to Onschonti.
On the 23d January, Colonel Bykoff, with a bat-
talion of the 36th Regiment of Chasseurs, and 50
Cossacks, occupied, without suffering the least loss,
the village of Konioustchauk; the inhabitants made
but a slight resistance; he took some prisoners, and
100 oxen. Having learned that there was a strong
detachment of the enemy at Eskistche, Colonel By 7
koff returned the next day through the villages of
Tehelibikioi, Karapamet, and Denikler.
Another reconnoissance was made in the environs
of Paravady, Major-General Kuprianoff left that
town on the 24th, with the 20th and 32d Regiment
of Chasseurs and 75 Cossacks, with two cannon,
after passing through Kerovo and Rovno he arrived
at Nino, where he took :eight prisoners and 180
oxen. The deep mud which covered the roads, and
the continuance of bad weather, hindered Major-
General Kuprianoff from pushing his reconnoissance
any further; he returned to Paravady the following
day, without having experienced any loss, the rigour
of the season, sickness, and the increasing want of
provisions of all kinds, greatly weaken the enemy's
army.—Journal de St. Peter:burgh, Feb. 26.
The same Journal and a Supplement contain the
official accounts of the taking of the fortress of Kale,
and of Tournoul. The occupation of this fortress,
says the Bulletin, gives a point d'appui on the Da-
nube, and completely insures the safety of Western
Wallachia. In the two fortresses 13, pair of colours
and 87 cannon were taken.

ST. PETERSBURGB, FEB. 28.—0 n the 2Gth Te
Deum was performed in the Chapel of the Winter
Palace, in the presence of their Imperial Majesties
and the Court, for the capture of Tournoul. A salute
of 101 guns was fired, and the city was illuminated.
Letters from Tiflis announce that several of the
native tribes in the neighbourhood of Anapa have
solemnly engaged not to commit any hostilities during
the Turkish war, and have given six hostages as se-
curity.—Prussian State Gazette, March 10.
BORSEN HALLE, FOUR O'CLOCK.—Funds are firm.
The low courses of the 3d instant, received from
London this morning, via Holland, prevented the
rise which would otherwise have been occasioned by
the improvement in French Rentes, which stood on
the 4th instant at 77f. 90c. Bills on London in
demand, discount 1i per cent.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

The betting, without being very heavy, was interesting
and important. The Camel colt, whose ;unexpected ap-
pearance in the market we noticed last week, continues
advancing, and is now very firm at 11 to I. The Dec-
tress kept abreast of him till just at the close, when 12
to 1 was offered and not taken. Canvas, Morris Dancer,
and Will-o'-the-Wisp, were all backed, and seemed in
better favour. The LUPB filly retrograded in all three
Stakes, owing to her h;tving recently changed hands (at
the price, it is said, of 2000 guineas.) The betting
closed thus :—.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.—When the sun of
" Waverley" became lord of the ascendant, he swallowed
up all the minor luminaries in his beams. He united all
excellencies. " Each change of many-coloured life he
drew." All countries, all classes became tributary to
him ; he was at home in the peasant's cot aad the gipsy's
teat, nor less at his ease in the hall of state. When he spoke
in the character of a monarch or of a gaberlunzie, he seemed
equally to be speaking in his mother- tonge. He paint-
ed the secluded landscape with the same felicity as
the turmoil of battle. Not only the old materials
of love and war were at his command, but wit and learn-
ing, law and antiquarianism, history and legind, the mys-
teries of all arts and trades. In scenes of broad comedy
he was a Hogarth or a Teniers; in lofty tragedy, he had
the dignity of Raphael, and the energy of Salvator Rosa.
And throughout all his works there is the free, manly,
and unaffected style, which shows a great mind conver-
sant alike with books and with the world.—Liverpool
Times.

ENGLISHMAN'S RECEPTION OF A POPE.--
In the year 1815, during the hundred days, when Pope
Pius VII. was obliged to quit his capital and fly far pro-
tection to Genoa, which was then in possession of the Eng-.
lish, the senior of of the garrison happened to, be a
Colonel (afterwards General) Lemoine, of the Royal Ar-
tillery. The troops were of course ordered out to receive
his Holiness with due honours; and as the Pope's carriage
approached, the Colonel rode up to the carriage bat in
hand, to congratulate the Sovereign Pontiff on his safe ar-
rival. The Pope, in return for his attention, stopped his
coach and put his hand out of the window to be kissed,
thus paying the Colonel a compliment which Pop Pius
offered exclusively to Englishmen, but which the Gallant
Officer did not sufficiently understand to appreciate, and
hastily putting his hat on his head, he grasped the Po e's
hand, and, shaking it with a hearty English welcome, i x..
claimed, " I'm very glad to see you, old gentleman." he
Pope, who was an exceedingly kind man, laughed heart"ys
and seemed highly pleased with his receriKt•
