COBURG THEATRE.

Last night a new serious drama in three acts,
founded on Lord BYRON'S magnificent dramatic
Poem of the Doge of Venice, was brought out at
this theatre, under the title of the Council qf Ten.
As the story is well known to our readers, we shall
content ourselves with saying that it was well
worked out, and that the two chief characters, the
Doge and his fellow conspirator, Israel Bertuccio,
were sustained with consummate ability by Messrs.
COBHAM and H. W. WILLIAMS. The former we
are glad to perceive has got rid of his vapid
imitations of MACREADY'S voice and manner, and
now trusts wholly to his own unbiassed feelings.
The scenery of the drama is in the highest degree ef-
fective and characteristic. By way of after-piece, a
new farcical burletta, in two acts, entitled the 1llis•
terious Tailor, was produced. The leading idea of
this lively little farce is derived from a tale that
appeared some months since in the JVlonthly Ma-
gazine, under the name of the " Mysterious Tailor,
a Romance of High-Holborn." It is here, however,
considerably altered, not to say improved, by Mr.
MILNER, who has shewn considerable ingenuity in
framing a humorous burletta out of such slight
materials as the original tale afforded. It was re-
ceived with great applause by the audience, who
laughed heartily at the excellent comic acting of
Mr. E. L. LEWIS, as an ostler in love, and Mr.
MORTIMER, as the pave, melancholy, and myste-
ious tailor. The house was crowded.

This was a document purporting to be a list o
the orders issued by Mr. Robertson, at the comment
of Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, from the
middle of May to the middle of July. The box or
ders thus issued ran from four to five hundred and
forty-one per night, averaging each night of per-
formance 250. The total number of orders thus
issued during the above period amounted to 10,993, miss FOOTE, who has been playing at Derby,

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

ST. PETERSBURGH PAPERS. •

ST. PETERSBURGII.—An extraordinary Supple-
ment to the Journal de St. Petersburghi of the Bth
of August, contains the bulletin of the operations of
the army of the Caucasus to the taking of Erzeroum.
This, filling seven columns, goes into very minute
details. The following are extracts :
" Sire,—On the 27th of June (July 9), the an-
niversary of the celebrated battle of Pultawa, Er-
zeroum, the celebrated capital of Anatolia, which
contains 27,000 houses, and above 100,000 inha-
bitants, fell into the power of your Imperial Majesty,
with its lofty and strong citadel, and the vast circuit
of its fortifications.

" Offering to your Majesty my respectful congra-
ulations on the new success of the Russian arms in

the East, I have the honour to lay at your feet the
keys of the fortress and citadel of Erzeroum, and the
detailed report of this important event.
After the defeat of the Turkish army on the 19th
and 20th (Ist and 2d), 1 sent out three detachments
—the first under Major-General Prince Bekowitch
'lcherkasky, to occupy Khowssne; the second,
under Colonel Count Simonitch, to chase the
Turkish troops from the woods which they had oc-
cupied near the camp ; and the third, under General
Bourstoff, to advance 40 wersts by the Erzeroum
road, towards the village of Ardassou, in order to
increase the confusion of the enemy's troops that I
had defeated, and to excite alarm in Erzeroum itself.
Lieutenant-Colonel Bassoff, whom Major-General
Boustoff sent from the camp of Ardassow, with 80
Cossacks, to open a communication with the first de-
tachment, met in a defile 100 Turks, whose Com-
mander having consented to lay down his arms, was
immediately cut to pieces by the enraged soldiers,
who began a brisk fire on the Cossacks, on which
Lieutenant-Colonel Bassoff attacked them, killed 57,
and took four wounded prisoners : the rest fled.
Lieutenant-Colonel Bassoff occupied Khorosane,
where he found 800 chetwerts of corn, 2,000 can-
non-balls, and a great quantity of powder and war-
like stores.

" Knowing that after such a defeat it would cost
much time to rally the scattered remains of the
Turkish army, I hastened to advance towards Er-
zeroum. I set out on the 21st (3d) with the whole
army and baggage, and bivouacked the 22d (4th)
40 wersts from Hassan Kale, where I was joined by
Major-General Bourstoff and Count Simonitch, who
had successfully executed my orders. The Arme
nian inhabitants of the surrounding villages came to
make their submission, and ask for protection. I
neglected nothing to gain their confidence by the
kindest reception, and by the strict discipline ob-
served_by the troops.
" On the 23d (sth), after advancing 20 wersts,
and being rejoined by Prince Bekowitch, I learned
that the Seraskier's troops, consisting of some re-
mains of the defeated army, arid of regular infantry
which had not been engaged, and were assembled
before Hassan Kale, perceiving the rapidity of our
march, were flying; that the Seraskier had fallen
back on Erzeroum, and that the Pacha who had the
command of the troops and the defence of Hassan
Kale, was flying rapidly towards Erzeroum, after
carrying off all the carriages and beasts.of burden he
could find in the villages. I resolved, therefore, to
leave the main body where it was, and to proceed
with the vanguard to Hassan Kale, 20 wersts dis-

taut. 1 reached it at nine in the evening, and took
possession of it, the Turks having abandoned it.
This fortress, which was built in the time of the
Romans, is an extremely strong position, and highly
important to us, being the key of Erzeroum, giving
us a depot for our stores, and being also on our line
of communication with Kars and Bagdad.
" By this important acquisition, without any loss,
the necessary consequence of the victories of the
Ist and 2d July, and the rapidity of our march, I

was firmly established before Erzeroum. The next
day we saw the inhabitants of the town who had
fled into the mountains arrive, and those of the
neighbouring villages also sent deputies to ask my
protection; and I had the pleasure to see that these
villager,, convinced of the Justice and moderation of
our Government, remained in their habitations, and
pursued their rural labours as in tine of peace.
" I had been positively informed, that the route
of the Turkish army and the rapidity of my march
had produced on the people of Erzeroum an im-
pression very favourable to my plans. Having in-
spected Hassan Kale, and taken the proper mea-
sures for its defence, I, on the 24th (6th), at three
in the afternoon, sent to Erzeroum Mamisch Aga,

formerly a chief of Janissaries, whom we took pri-
soner on the 19th (Ist), and in whom the inhabi-
tants of the city placed great confidence. I gave
him a proclamation positively promising freedom of
religious worship, security to persons, and to private
property.
" Mamiseb Aga, struck with our good treatment
of Hagki Pacha, and the other prisoners, was very
willing to take my proclamation to the city, and to
endeavour to prevail on the inhabitants to submit
voluntarily, being convinced, as he said, by what he
had seen in the great battles of the 19th and 20th,
that resistance would certainly be followed by the
ruin of the city.
" Meantime the whole corps and baggage ad-

vanced towards Hassan Kale, and on the-25th of
June, your Majesty's birth-day, the army of the
Caucasus addressed solemn prayers to Heaven for
your Imperial Majesty and your august family, and
thanksgivings for the victories which it had given
them.
" At dinner I received notice from Mamisch Aga
that be found the inhabitants in great fermentation;
that before his arrival, the majority were resolved on
defending themselves, but that my proclamation
made them desist. The Mollabs and chief inha-
bitants,' he wrote, were inclined to accept the
terms offered, and the people were with them, being
informed of the good treatment of the inhabitants of
Kars and Akhalzik. The Seraskier and his turbu-
lent troops still agitate the people, but your pro-
mises will restore tranquillity.' Wishing to take
advantage of the favourable disposition of the inha-
bitants, I quitted Hassan Kale at five p. m. with my
wl,ole corps, leaving the baggage organized in the
manner of intrenchments before the fortress.
" On the 26th (Bth), in the morning, a Capidgi
Baschi, sent by the Seraskier and Mamisch Aga, de-
puted by the citizens, came to my bivouac, thiec
hours' march from Erzeroum.

assent of all the inhabitants to my proposals. The
Capidgi 13aschi assured me verbally, that the Seras-
kier agreed to surrender the place, but at the same
time he expressed, in a very equivocal manner, his
fears that the sight of the Russian army under the
walls of Erzeroum might rouse the fanaticism of the
inhabitants, and induce them to make a vigorous re-
sistance; and he therefore begged me to suspend
our march. I however thought it best to advance,
hoping to increase the apprehensions of the Seras•
kier and his troops, and give the well-disposed in-
habitants more resources to oppose the obstinate part
and insist on the surrender of the city. The corps
advanced by a defile to the summit of the mountain,
whence it descended into the valley, where the po.

(From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.)

The Constitutionel, after giving the extract from
th
e Gazette de Munich, respecting the affair of Ket-
yisa, says—" The taking of Constantinople, if
thise news be confirmed, will only be the signal for a
g‘reater political movement in Europe. England has
Ileelared that Turkey, as an independent Power, was
necessary to the equilibrium of Europe, and espe-
cially to the commercial interests of Great Britain.
Austria was alarmed at finding herself in contact
with what the English call the giant of the North.
It will then be necessary to drive this giant back to-
Wards the Pole; this will be the task of the giant of
the seas, united to Austria. But the combined
forces of the two Powers would not be sufficient to
attain the result which is desired. The assistance
of France would be necessary. It would be neces-
sary for her to display her force in order to calm the
fears of Austria, and ensure to England, in case of
*war, the possession of Malta, the lonian Islands,
and her commercial influence in the Levant.
" In truth, England and Austria, who did not
Suer us to reserve our ancient limits, who pillaged

som
we paid them, would come with good grace to
us
to draw for them the chesnuts from the fire.
This we shall see.—The secret of the formation of
the Polignac Ministry will cease soon to be a mys-
tery, and the effect will make us acquainted with the
juse, and Prussia, and the Low countries. We

up the neutrality in spite of all possible repug-
nance. Is it to be supposed that Russia has not
provided herself with Allies ? Is it to be supposed

aessrs. De Polignac, Bourmont, and De la Bour-
lulaye..,of what use are then the lessons of history ?"
