RUSSIAN BULLETIN.

(From the Prussian Slate Gazette.)
ST. PIETERSBURCH, APRIL 20.—8 y means of a report
dated March 15, Adjutant General Count Paskewitsch of
Erivan has forwarded to his Majesty, the following details
of another victory gained over the Turks :
Major-General Hesse, who had received orders to eon-
eentrate his division in Guriel, received information that
the Turks had shown themselves in considerable force on
the boundary of Kabulet, so as to keep the neighbouring
villages of Guriel in a constant state of alarm. It had
been ascertained that Kaya- Oglu, the Paella of Trebi-
zund, had advanced at the head of three thousand men,
and had received further reinforcements, to the extent of
five thousand men from Batum, Kabulet, Tshanetes,
and Tshakroy ; that be had formed an entrenched camp
on the banks of the lake situated between Kintriahi and
the fortress of St. Nicolas ; had erected other works upon
the narrow pass between the fortress and the lake, and
had it in contemplation to attack our division, and make
himself master of Guriel, as soon as he should be joined by
a reinforcement of 10,000 men, which was daily expected
from Trebizund. Major-General Hesse immediately re-
solved upon anticipating the enemy.
On the sth of March, the General proceeded with a
battalion of the Mingrelia regiment of infantry, three
companies of the 44th rifle regiment, in all 1,216 men,
with four light field-pieces and two howitzers, together
with 1,315 of the Guriel militia, emu the river Na-
tonebi, and advanced along the sea-shore, directing
the militia to take the upper road through the forest.
Three versts from the passage of the river, the Turks in
possession of the first work opened their fire ; but being
outflanked and attacked in the rear by the militia, they
were seized with such a panic, that they abandoned that
as well as two other works, and retired in confusion to
the camp situated between the sea and a marsh covered
with wood.

This camp, which occupied a space of SOO fathoms,
was defended by a deep ditch, and a wooden rampart filled
with earth ; the road leading to it being intersected by
similar ditches.

The enemy received our detachment with a dread-
ful fire, and maintained a sanguinary combat for the
space of four hours. As soon as Major-General Hesse
had erected a battery, the grenades and canister-shot
of which carried confusion into the ranks of the enemy,
he gave orders for a general assault, which was exe-
cuted in the most brilliant manner, as well by the
regular infantry as by the militia. Driven from the
trenches, the enemy dispersed themselves in the forest,
leaving 163 killed, a number of arms, and the whole of
their baggage, upon the spot. Their whole loss in the
battle amounts to 1,000 men killed and wounded.
Our loss consists of 3 Princes, 1 Officer, and 33 non-
commissioned officers and privates, killed ; and
Eight officers, 142 non-commissioned officers and pri-
vates, and nine militia-men, wounded.

The booty taken in the camp was abandoned to the
militia, whose zeal and bravery on this occasion were the
more to be commended, as the greater part, in imitation
of the example of the Princess on whom they depended,
bad repeatedly fought against us in the course of the last
year.

The Marquis of ANGLESEA last night brought
forward his promised motion respecting his Admi-
nistration of the Government of Ireland, the full
particulars of which will be found in our Paper of
this day. Happily the Catholic Question is now at
rest, and we are spared the necessity of making any
further remark upon the motion of the late Lore
Lieutenant of Ireland.

The Hamburg's 4eportfr, and German Papers
pf the 28th April, have been received this morning.
The news from Constantinople is only of the 26th
March, 4 date which we lid several days ago. The
news from the Turkish frpntiers is of the Bth April,
at which time preparations continued with unabated
vigour to resume the war. The situation of the Chris,
tians at Constantinople was extremely critical :

TURKISH FRONTIERS, APRIL 8.-All the accounts
from Constantinople speak of the dreadful state of alarm of
the p 1.434 a 4 inhabitants of the capital. Day and night
they fear some ebplli:ion of Mahometan fanaticism. When
a courier arrives the fears of the Christians are general, for
should any disasters befal the Turkish army the lives and
property of the Christians would be in the greatest danger,
notwithstanding the protection of the Government. The

fine country houses on the banks of the Bosphorus are all
deserted; the rich foreigners and even the Jewish mer-
chants have for the most part returned to Smyrna. It is
very seldom that a Christian ventures to go from l'era and
the other suburbs to Constantinople properly so called)
where the Mollahs, Cudis, and Dervises, have so inflamed
the fanaticism of the Mussulmen, that a trifling circum-
stance would be sufficient to lead to the murder of a Chris-
tian, no matter of what nation, and the increasing want
of provisions naturally increases the exasperation of
the Mussulmen. Endeavours are made to encou-
rage them with the hope of the caravans from Smyrna,
and a large supply of corn and rice from Egypt.
The latter, it is said, will be brought here in part
by English ships, but it will hardly escape the
vigilance of the Russian blockading squadron. The Bai-
ram is looked for with impatience. To prevent any dis-
turbances, the Sultan, as we hear, will not have it cele-
brated with the usual pomp, but only by extraordinary
prayers. Four days afterwards (I Ith April) he will go,
it is farther reported, with the chief members of the Divan
to Adrianople, where Redschid already is encamped with
50,000 men. It seems that Shumla will be again the
point of the union of the main force, and the most vigorous
resistance may be expected.
HANOVER, Aram 24.—We hear that her Royal High-
ness the Dowager Landgravine of Hesse Homburg will pay
a long visit, during the summer, to his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge.

ODESSA, APRIL B.—On the 4th the Russian brig Posi—
donia arrived in this harbour from Varna with the Harem
of Jussuf Pacha, which consists of fifteen persons, includ-
ing servants of both sexes.
VIENNA, APRIL 28.—Metalliques, 98* ; Bank Shares,
1107.

Mauritius Papers to the 11th January have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-
house. The Gazette of the 10th contains a Go-
vernment Order, intimating that his Excellency Sir
C. COLVILLE would in a few days publish an ordi-
nnce for ameliorating the condition of the Slave
Population of the Island of Mauritius and its De-
pendencies.

We copy the following paragraph from the Mor-
ning Chronicle of this day. It will be seen that its
contents are in harmony with information on the
same subject which we were the first to publish some
ten days ago :
" A foi mal appeal has been made by the Emperor of Bra-
zil to the several Courts of England, France, and St. Pe-
tersburgh respecting the usurpation of the Throne of Por-
tugal by Don Miguel, to the exclusion of the young Queen.
Answers have been received from the Three High Powers,
and they are favourable to the Emperor's views. The
Marquis Palmella left town en Friday last for Paris, in
accordance with instructions received, relative to ulterior
measures being adopted for an immediate arrangement of
the affairs of Poi tugal."

We direct the attention of the sharitable and
humane to an Advertisement in another part of our
Paper, respecting the " Society for Suppressing the
Necessity of Climbing Boys in Sweeping Chimaies,"
and which Society held its Annual Meeting, at the
City of London Tavern, on the Ist of May. Since
the first institution of this very laudable Society, the
degrading practice of employing boys for climbing
chimnies has been in a great measure superseded by
the use of machinery, and we have great pleasure
in learning that Government have recommended the
machinery in all the Public Offices. We feel per-
suaded that the humane object of this Society re-
quires only to be more known, in order to make the
application of machinery, which is in fact superior
to the employment of boys, more generally adopted.
The Society deserves universal support.

The animation and bustle that attended the Stock mar-
ket yesterday, when the Four per Cent., 1826, closed at
1021 1, and the Three per Cent. Console at 874 4, has
ceased, and business has this morning been of rather a con-
fined character than otherwise ; still a certain degree of
fever is likely to be exhibited on the part of the speculators
till Friday next, when the contents of the Budget will be-
come known, many still being of opinion that the funding
so small a comparative amount of the floating debt will be
attended by other measures which may be important to
the fundholder's future prospects. Both the abovemen-
tioned Stocks opened this morning at the above quotations,
but the latter declined shortly after to 874, the price, and
may at present be stated buyers at that rate. Exchequer
