CAMPAIGN IN ASIA.

(From the St. Petersburgh Gazette of the 16th tilt.)
TEFL'S, Nov. 26.--lisjor-Gen. Prince Tschant
schawad.e hay sent the following report to Coun
Paskewitsch-Erivanski.

On the 3d inst., in presence of the enemy's
pickets, two companies of the infantry IT riment of
Hoslove, and a part of the half battalion of the Ser-
bases of Erivan, formed a junction with the division
of Bajazed, commanded by Major-General Prince
'fschantschawadse, who immediately commenced the
attack. The Turks advanced to meet him with
:5,000 men and two pieceS of cannon. They, how-
ever, fought with little spirit, and did not even fire
their eaunon, but left the field of battle after losing
about 40 men in killed and wounded. They, how-
ever, only moved their camp five wersts beyond the
village of Hisikai, where they had been posted be-
fore the action. On the 6th instant they withdrew
altogether.

- In order to hasten the retreat of ale enemy,
Prince TschantsclEtwildse made a forward movement
in the direction of Melusgerd ; but not falling in
with them, he returned to his camp at Pathos. The
retreat of the enemy will make it pfy,sible for the
troops of the corps of Baj:►zed to go into winter-
quarters.

The principal cause of this retreat turns out to
have been the movement made by the division from
Kars, at the foot of the mountains of Sagantag,
which separate the Pachaliks of Kars and Er-
gerotim. Major-General Bergmann, commanding
division, received orders to march towards
Erzeroum, in order to disengage the eorps of
Prince Tschantschawadse. The Turkish troops
stationed at Toprak-kale, seeing themselves nearly
surrounded by this movement, and dreading the
combined operations of the two corps, endeavoured
to prevent the advance of liajor-General Berg-
mann, and on the 12th instant prepared to dispute
with him the passage of the Ames. The Major-
General finding great difficulty in passing that river,
and considering that the abject of freeing Prince
Tschantschawadse from the enemy had been ob-
tained, did not think it necessary to carry his move-
ment further, but retired in good order. Several
hostile parties which crossed the river in his pursuit
were driven off with a loss of 30 killed and wounded.
On the 14th the whole corps of Majo.-General
Bergmann re-occupied its original positions.

" Oh, my uncle! my dear tipple!" took him in his arms,
and prayed some one to call a coach. The mob were
loon on the alert, rejoiced at the succour, end effected by
the apxious conduct of the young man. Both were soon
placed in the coach, the worthy old gentleman's pockets
were speedily emptied by his soi-disant nephew ; and in
the course of a short time, while the pious nephew was
considering how he should manage to escape, he expired.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1829,

ROWLAND STEPHENSON.

Up to the present moment STEPHENROW has

not been found. The following particulars,

however, fully corroborate what we have alrea4

stated with regaFd to his course to Bristol. They

are also of the latest date, being up to lasi

night .

(Extract of a private letter from Bristol, Jan. 6.)
" The particulars in The Sun, of Monday, re-
specting Rowland Stephenson, are correct. He
was here on last Saturday night week, and was.seen
at the Commercial Rooms. He appeared in great
agitation and asked the Master if there were
any vessels sailing to America. It has been
since ascertained to a certainty—at least no
reasonable doubt can attach to the circumstance—
that he stopped at the Lamplighters' Hall, at Pill, a
public-home, which, you may remember, is situated
at the juncticn of the Avon with the Bristol Chan-
nel. On Tuesday morning be engaged a skiff of a
matt named , a pilot, and having been armed
with two brace of pistols, they set sail. The pilot
returued on Sunday evening last, alone, but his
mouth has been effectually stopped by gold—as it
is supposed, for not a single word ran be got from
him. Two of our City Officers, it is reported, set
off tin• the Devon coast, immediately it was ascer-
tained that the fugitive had sailed from Pill, with
the idea of taking boats and meeting him in the
Channel. The result of their cruise is not yet
known, but it is supposed they must have failed iu
apprehending him, as the wind was fair for America
when he set sail. The general opinion here is—and
I must confess I think it a rational one—that he en-
gaged an American vessel to 'wait for him in the
Channel. This might be easily concerted before
hand with the mates of some of the American ves-
sels about to sail from Liverpool or from this pert."
" P.S. Since I wrote the above, the follewing
particulars respecting Stephenson have transpired at
the Council-house :—One of the pilots has this after-
noon been examined. He states that on Tuesday
last the fugitive, accompanieti, it is sa d,by hie clerk,
hired a bout at Pill and sailed into the Charnel ;
they were tossed about for some time in a gale,
but eventually fell in with a colliery smack,
bound for a port situated at the extremity of
Co nwall, the name of which I forget. This
%meek, it is '.aid•—l sereak now of the alleged evi-
dence at he Council House—was al.o driven about
in the Channel for several days, strong gales pre-
vailing ad the time she was out, but eUrceeded at
length in getting into the port in question. I ought
to tell ►on that th, se facts were stated by another
pilot, who accompanied the former one, but who
had not been •o effectually bribed. Neither of them
however would tell the name of the collier or the
master. But the general opinion here at present is,
that both Stephenson and the clerk will be appre-
hended. Of course the effeir furnishes the er'grosa-
ing topic of conversation here."

Since writing the above we have received the
following :—" At length some clue has been
found to the retreat of STEPHENSON, the
fraudulent banker, and his clerk LLOYD. By
letters received this morning from Bristol, two
persons, answering :heir description, were put on
board the Minerva, Capt. WALLACE, a fine
sharp American built vessel, on the 27th of
December, when she sailed for New York, and
in consequence of this information his Majesty's
ship Nimrod, of 20 guns, Capt. RADFORD,
and the Ranger, of 28 guns, Capt. W. WAL-
POLE, sailed in pursuit on Sunday last from
Portsmouth ; it is understood one of these vessels
would make the best of her way direct to New
York, whilst the other would keep the most
probable track in order to overtake the Mi-
nerva. From the circumstance of her not hay-

ing left King's Road until Friday last, there is
every hope that one or the other vessel will he
fortunate enough to apprehend the fugitives. It
is reported that two pilots are in custody, and
will be examined at the Mansion-house.

Accounts have been received via America,
rrom St. Domingo, of a late date, which mention

lat considerable sensatio❑ had been created

there by the rumoured blockade of the port of
Auz Cayes, by a Spanish squadron, from the
Havannah, and that General BOYER bad marched.
for the same destination with all his disposable
force. It is further said that this intelligence
had created great fermentation in the Island, and
was to lead to very serious conseq►►ences.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 31st Dec.
says, upon the authority of an article from
Bucharest, that tl►e Eold in that quarter Was ex.
cessive—so much so, that instead of checking the
malignity of the contagious disease, it only served
to increase it. 'I he Turks occasionally passed the
Danube in small parties, more for the purpose;
of piuntLi than military enterprise. If we
may credit the same a4hority, three regiments
stationed in Bucharest had received order§ to

proceed to reinforoe the garrison of Varna.
Now if that be true, it shows pretty cl?arly that
the Turks are not in such disposable force as
to oppose their progress. It shows also that
the Russians hare not all quitted Bulgaria;

but gives reason to suppose that they maintain
their position at 134zardjik, communicating with
Varna, and their stations on the Danube towards
IsmaeL The public have been of late so much
imposed upon by sinister accounts, that even the
truth is received with reasonable doubt
A.NCONA, DEC. 23.

lAccording to letters from Otranto the three Am-
bassadors have declared to Count Capo d'lstria that
the Morea and the Cyclades have been taken under
the protection of the three Powers, and that the
latter will not allow of any attack by the Porte on
those countries, but will consider it as directed agaiest
themselves; and that on the other hand they re-
quired from the Greek Government to avoid every-
thing that may give ground to the Porte to make
complaints and reprisals for attacks on the Turkish
territory. Whether this declaration definitively
limits the future state of Greece to the blorea and
the Cyclades,
,it is not stated in the note, but it
seems to be a preliminary measure which, on the formal
recognition of the new State, allows the enlargement
of its boundaries, and may even render it necessary,
if the Porte does not give the proper guarantees
for its security. It appears, therefore, to be
undecided what is to be comprehended in future
under the name of Greece. For hi this too
the Porte may concur, and on its yielding, or
further resisting the intervention of the Powers,
will depend the influence that it will have in fixing
the internal relations of Greece. The Greek Go-
vernment, which is wholly directed by the Councils
of the three Ambassadors, will suit its conduct to
the declarations it has received, and is taking steps
to prevent all hostilities beyond the above bounda-
ries. It is said that Count Capo d'lstria has sent
_Commissioners to Candia to invite the Greeks there
to live at reace, and to offer to the discontented an
asylum in the Morea. Orders are said to have been
sent also to Gen. Church to suspend hostilities as
far as possible. These letters also state that a com-
mission, composed of Greeks and Philhellenes, is to
be formed at Napoli, which is to take measures for
the public tranquillity and safety, and to organize the
army : it was believed that Col. Fabvier, who is
shortly expected back from France, will be President
of this Commission.

FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, DE-C. 8.

A few days ago the cold at Bucharest was 19
deg. Reaumur (42 deg. Fahrenheit below freezing,
or 10i des. Fahrenheit below Zero). The con-
tagious diseases there also AS3UInI! a very malignant
diameter; the number of sick and dying iu the
hospitals is increasing, and there are from 40 to 50
deaths daily in the hospitals within the town. It
has therefore been found necessary to have a new
military lazzaretto in a monastery near the town,
and all the carpenters in the town are put in
requisition to fit it up with all expedition.
Small parties of Turks venture from time to
time .to the left bank of the Danube to
plunder, barn some lonely houses, and then hasten
back over the river. Thirteen of them were lately
taken prisoners, and brought to the Ruaaias head
quarters. It is said there are now 500 Russian
officers in Bucharest, who received orders a few days
ago to repair to their regiments in the country.
Three regiments of the troops stationed in the town
and neighbourhood have received orders to set out
immediately for Varna, as Omer Vrione seems tc
be disposed to attempt recover that place. It is
also affirmed that the. Turks have passed the Danube,
at Silistria, and burnt three villages- According to
letters from Fockschiny, a great deal of snow fell
last week, and many persons perished. '

We direct attention to the confession ex-
torted from the murderer BURKE, in another
part of our Paper. If we may credit a person
guilty of such unparalleled enormities, the mea-
sure of his inquity, conjointly with HARE, the
master-demon, did not amount to thirty murders.
BURKE professes to be penitent, and inculpates
HARE as being the greater scoundrel of the two
—a charge which no one will be inclined to
doubt who has read the tragic history of their
abominations. We are at a loss to discover
upon what principle of decency, of conmon
sense, or public safety, such a miscreant as HARE
can be screened from justice. The blood of nearly
thirty—it may be a hundred--calls out for ven-
geance upon the monster. But -what shall be
done with the accessories to this damnable trade
in innocent blood ? If there were not receivers
there would, possibly, be no murderers in this
instance ;—receivers, too, be it remembered,
who instigated the wretches to procure as many
bodies as possible. Really the thing is too hor-
rible for comment.

Yesterday a meeting of the Royal College of
Physicians took place in Edinburgh, for the
purpose of taking into consideration mea-
sures which it may be expedient for the
College to adopt, with a view to tranquil-
lize the public mind on the subject of the late
atrocities committed by BURKE and his asso-
ciates,—to prevent their repetition, and to relieve
the Medical Profession, generally, from the odium
justly excited by thew.
