FRONTIERS OF SEavIA, MAT 29.—Accounts from the
theatre of war arrive here almost daily, and the Turks are
very active. The authorities have a very watchful eye over
strangers, and have advised the politicians in the coffee-
houses to be prudent in their expressions; accordingly
nothing is heard of there but victories gained by the Turks,
though n thing official has 16ea published by the Turkish
Government.

The battle at Pravadi is slid to have been to the advantage
of the Turks, atonal' the Grand Vizier gave up the con-
test and retired. It is affirmed that the Turkish artillery
which is really much improved since the list campaign, as
well as the regular infantry, distinguished itself on that
occasion. In general the Turks begin to appreciate
the European discipline, and in the action at Pra-
vadi, which was in the open field, the troops are
said to have @hewn great firmness and skill.—
The Grand Vizier, who hays retreated to Shumla, intends
now to march with 40,000 men to Silistria to re-
lieve the fortress,. which is reported to have sixteen
thousand inhabitants, and a gar: neon of twelve thousand
men. Hussein Paella, who now commands at Rudschuk,
has received orders to join part of his troops se-ith the gar-
rison of Tourtoukri, and also to march towards Silistria,
in order to cover the Grand Vizier's flank in the attack.
Hence it should seem that the besieging corps before Ghi-
urgevo is not considerable. The Russians are said
to have 35,000 men before Silistria. It is natural
that the Turks should exert themselves to the
utmost to preset ve that place, and it is very likely that a
great battle may take place near it, which would have
great inf3uence on the success of the campaign. The COIL
Breve rockets which hive been used with so much success in
all armies in which they have been employed have now
been introduced by an Englishman to the Turks, who
expect that they still prove very desireable against the
cavalry in the broken and uneven ground of the Ralkaw.
The Pacha of Belgrade, who is charged to watch over
Servia, takes energe'ic measures to prevent any disor-
ders. He has intimated to the Chiefs that he shall hold
them responsible for any troubles that may arise. It is
reported that some Jannissaries carry on a great correspond-
with the Russian Commanders, and give them detailed in-
formation of the state of the country.
TRIESTE, JUNE s.—Accounts from Corfu, of May fc.9,
say it was reported that Misaolonehi hail surrendered to
the Greeks. Two English ships of the line and two
-frigates are still at anchar at Corfu, and two cutters had
returned after the raising of the blockade of Prevesa.
Vessels from the coasts, which are now free, come in
great numbers to the lonian Islands, to purchase provisions,
which had caused a rise in the price of corn.

The French Papers contain more political
speculation respecting the affairs of the East
than authentic accounts of the progress of events.
The Gazette de France asserts, that Admiral
HETDEN, instead of revoking the declaration of
Admiral 11.1coRD for a blockade of the coast of
Roumelia, has fully confirmed it ; while the
Greeks having passed the Isthmus of Corinth,
are now masters of Missolonghi and Lepanto,
and are following the example of the Russians in
making every where declarations of blockade.

In this manner the Gazette continues—" we
shall soon see all the coast of the Ottoman em-
pire prohibited to the French and English mer-
chants. Russia, which had promised to wave
its rights as a belligerent power in the Mediter-
ranean, and which subsequently seemed disposed
to confine itself to the blockade of the Darda-
nelles, now extends to all the coasts of the Otto-
man empire a net which its allies cannot break
through.'
The expedition to the Morea is said to have
produced this result by encouraging the Russians
in their enterprises, and delivering up Greece to
the influence of their policy. But though there
may be some truth in this, it must be recollected
that the Gazette de France is not exactly the
channel through which anv news favourable to
the consequences of the expedition would be
first received. On the contrary we perceive a
good deal of soreness in the communications of
the late official organ of Government against all
the measures of the present Administration, for
". if war breaks out (says the Gazette) between
the great Powers, and if the revolution should
arise in France by means of the electoral colleges,
the weakness and indecision of the present
Ministry will be the cause of these two mis-
fortunes."
There can lie no doubt that the French Mi-
nistry has acted with very reprehensible indecision
in some and with hypocrisy in others ;

The Constuntionnel says that " the fate of
the first Russian campaign is by no means deci-
sive ; the losses of the Russians can hardly be
called disasters. The impossibility of re-advancing
in desolated provinces will only change the seat
of war. The field of battle may be chanpd, but
the resolutions will remain the same.

But what will the others Powers of Europe
Will they all be for the Turks, or all for

Now the blockade of the Dardanelles injures
the commerce of England, while it is more for-
