ROWLAND STEPHENSON.

The accounts received yesterday from America
relative to Stephenson, are singular. lie was greatly
afraid to meet with Parkins, and when that unlucky
creditor saw him, the following strange dialogue
took place :
" What the made you steal my Exchequer
Bills ?" said Mr. Parkins.—" I never stole them,
upon my honour;" said Stephenson, " it was Lloyd
that purloined them."
" Oh, it was Lloyd, was it ? What a lie ! What,
you want to fib it off upon him, do you ?" cried Mr.
Parkins.—" I do assure you, I never took them;
Lloyd completely deceived me."
"What the did you go to rob me for ?"
said Parkins, " Why didn't you rob somebody else ?"
Stephenson said he hoped all would be well yet,
and he expressed a most anxious wish that Parkins
would not take measures to compel his return to
England."

" Why," said Mr. Parkins, " tell me, have you
attempted to make away with your life ?"—" Yes,
indeed have 1," answered Stephenson.
44 Then," cried Mr. Parkins, " I shall not try to
send you back ; stay where you are."
Stephenson's eldest son, Mr. M'Donald Stephen-
son, has arrived in New York, and has a large packet
for his father. The measures pursued against him
have made him numerous friends, and as for Lloyd,
he is quite a favourite in America.—Morn. Paper.

By accounts from Tarbes (Upper Pyrenees),

it appears that a young convict, named SAititArr, who,
with six of his companions, was condemned at the last
assizes for forgery, has poisoned himself and one of his as-
sociates, in order to escape the disgrace of being branded.
SARRAT, who is respectably connected, died soon after he
had swallowed the soup in which he had contrived to in-
fuse a quantity of arsenic, but his friend DUPUY, having
partaken of it in a less degree, is expected to recover.
The latter asserts his entire ignorance of SARRAT'S inten-
tion.--French Paper.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1829.

The fall of Silistria was announced at Paris
by telegraphic despatch from Strasbourg, to
which place it was brought by express. This
event is so important, that expresses, conveying
the news, were despatched to several'quarters.
A letter from Vienna says, two Pachas with
three tails, 10,000 men, 250 pieces of cannon,
and 204 standards, fell into the hands of the

conquerors.
The Emperor NICHOLAS is said to have ad-
dressed notes of a very amicable character, to
all the Labinets of Europe, to satisfy them with
respect to his intentions, and protesting that his
whole wish is to conclude peace with Turkey.
This was after receiving the news of the battle of
the 11th of June. His tone may change with
the fall of Silistria.
The SULTAN begins to feel very uneasy at
the occupation of Sizeboli by the Russians—a
post which will become tenfold more important
to them if General DIEBITSCH resolve upon
marching to the plains of Adrianople, which we
think highly probable.
Silistria once secured, of what consequence is
Shumla to the Russians, seeing that they have
Varna and all the intermediate strong holds be-
tween that .ind the Danube ? Shumla is too
strong for investment with any reasonable hope
of success for four months at least, a period
too long to waste upon a fortress, which, if cap-
tured, could he of no use till next campaign,
and then only by facilitating the march of the
conquerors upon Adrianople. Now it is clear
that the Russians can cross the Balkan without
approaching Shumla. They can do more. They can
cut ofF all communication with Adrianople, and
all places on that side of the Balkan—and on the
other side, from where do the Turks expect
assistance after the fail of Silistria and the in-
vestment of Rudsliuck ? The game is now entirely.
in the hands of the Russians who, if they seri-
ously wish for peace ought to march at once
upon Adrianople, and, striking terror into the
SULTAN, put an end to the war. The opportu-
nity is doubly favourable, from the presence of
the English and French Ambassadors at Con-
stantinople.
General GEISMAR might concert with DIE-
BITSCII—march upon Sophia, and join him in
the plains of Adrianople. The Turks have no
force in the field at all able to prevent this bold
demonstration, and they dare not hazard another
battle. If they do, their certain defeat would
open the road to Constantinople.

The following are extracts from Hamburg and
German Papers. The Porte, it is said, will
not negotiate on the basis of the Protocol sign-
ed at London, so that the Ambassadors expect
a great deal of trovlble from the obstinacy of

the SULTAN. Meantime the Russian reserve
of 30,000 men has received orders to join the
army on the Danube, and General DIEBITSCII
is preparing to cross the Balkan. That may
bring the SULTAN to his senses :

CONSTANTINOPLIZ, JUNE 22.—The Ambassadors of
England and France have notyct had any formal conferences
with the ileis Effendi, but have endeavoured, through a
confidential channel, to come to an understanding with him
respecting the objects of their mission. They are said to
have learned by this means t'Aat the Porte will not nego-
ciate on the basis of the Protocol signed at London, and
especially the article which requires the extension of the
boundaries of Greece to the Gait* of N 010 and Arta : they
accordingly expect to meet with great difficulties on their
mission. The Sultan persists in the system which he
has adopted. No recent accounts have bean received
from Shumla. The Grand Vizier is collecting there
as many troops as he can, and hopes to get 40,000
men together without weakening the garrisons. All men
capable of bearing arms are now to march from the interior
to the Balkan. The loss of the Turks in the battle on the
11th June was, according to their own account, very
great. Ali Pacha is said to have fillen on that day.
Meantime many persons flatter themselves that peace will
soon be restored, and speak of deputies that were to be
sent to the head-quarters. This report, however, is gene•
rally looked upon as improbable. The Capitan Pacha has
not yet returned from his expedition into the Black Sea.
BUCHAREST, JUNE 26.—The reerve, under General
Tolstoy. has received orders to join the army on the
Danube. It consists of 30,000 men of all arms Gene-
ral Diebitsch is said to be prapring to pass the Balkan.

BRANDENBURG, JULY 11.—A commigaioo of the

highest importance is reported to Lave been sntrusteti to
General Baron Muffling, who is gone to Gastein, but whose
ultimate destination is supposed to be Vienna, and Con-
stantinople. As fir as we ran harp, Prussia will inter-
vene with great energy, but at first only as mediator. The
Cabinet Minister, Count Bernstoi ff, is also gone to Gastein.
Couriers arrive daily from the theatre of war, but
nothing positive transpires respecting these despatches.
It is reported in general that the garrison Shumla has
been very consderably reinforced since the battle of
Kulawtscha.

It is said that the Emperor of Russia, before he set out
for Tulezyn, invited General Ruder, commander of the
Ist Regiment of the Guards, to accompany him.

St. Petersburg!) Gazettes to the 9th instant
have been received, but their contents do not
possess any articles of importance. A supple-
ment to the Paper of the Bth was published,
containing a long official account of the capture
of Rachova, by General GEISMAR, who makes
hOnourable mention of the bravery of the Turks
on that occasion. The horse, amounting to
500, alone escaped. The possession of Ra-
chova enables the Russians to cut off all com-
munication between Widdin and Rudschuck,
and must facilitate the capture of that fortress
and Giurgevo, should the troops from Silistria
lay siege to them, which appears very probable.
Indeed, we think that the capture of Rachova,
coupled with the panic produced by the defeat
of the GRAND VIZIER, considerably accelerated
the fall of Silistria. Troops without provisions
cannot hold out beyond a certain period ; and
the forlorn certainty that they cannot receive any
relief, only serves to impair the little resources
within their power—the bitter knowledge that
they struggle in vain, paralyses the stoutest
hearts.

We have accounts from Siberia, the American
Colony on the African Coast, which state that

the settlers were suffering severely from the fever
of the coast, and considerable mortality existed.
Among those who had fallen victims to the
climate was Dr. RA NDA r, L, the Governor. The
Colony otherwise was prosperous, and the traffic
with the natives, of importance. The town con-
tained near one hundred houses, and others were
daily erecting. It was well defended by a fort,
mounting five pieces of cannon of large calibre,
and was garrisoned by two companies of volun-
teers of thirty men each.

Letters from Nice state that the olive crop
wore a very unfavourable appearance. The ve-
getation has been very, active, hut the abundance
of rain which has fallen in the Spring has caused
much injury, and it was feared few of the olives
would reach maturity.

WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND MOROCCO.
The following is an extract of a letter received
this morning, from the Agent to Lloyd's at
Gibraltar, .dated July 4

" Yesterday the Austrian Consul sent to the different
Consuls here circular copies of a despatch to him, signed
by the commander of the Austt ian squadron here and the
Envoy, Baron Mogen, notirying the cortmencement of
hostilities against Morocco; reserving a right of blockad-
ing one or more ports in Barbary, claiming a right of
search, and of seizing, and confiscating articles which are
contraband of war, destined for the Army or the Navy of
the enemy, but will not molest the regular trAde, and ac-
knowledges that the flag protects the goods."
