FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

WAR IN THE EAST.

OFFICAL RUSSIAN ACCOUNT

WARSAW, JUNE 10 (22).—The rout of the
Ottoman army has been so complete, and the pursuit
confided to General Ccunt Pahlen executed with so
much vigour, that, with the exception of some ca-
valry, who appear to have fallen back towards
Aides, the remains of this army have not been able
to rally tiny where. The Grand Vizier had suc-
eeeded in getting into Shumla, accompanied by a
keble escort of cavalry. Our parties of Cossacks
twought in every moment fresh transports of pri-
soners,_ cannon, baggage, and colours, taken from
the Turks in their flight. The number of cannon
taken amounts already to nearly 60, and the loss of
the enemrin killed is about 6,000 men. Ours was
also considerable in the battle of the gOrit of May
(11th June), and amounts to 1,400 killed, and 600
wounded, amongst whom are two Generals.
A body of 1,500 horse, with infantry, having left
Shumla, probably to watch our movements, lied oc-
cupied with the infantry and artillery two of tke
redoubts which we had constructed last year. The
cavalry had marched forward to cover them. Gen.
Roth, who was proceeding to the village of Ma-
rascl,, having observed the cavalry, ordered forthwith
General Prince Mendatoff to make a charge with
'erne squadrons of the hussars of Alexandria and
Akhtyr, and six pieces of light artillery. This charge
completely succeeded; the enemy was overthrown,
and fell back with the loss of two standards. In
the pursuit of this detachment, the General found
himself under the fire of one ef the redoubts, but,
immediately making a part of hi: hussars dismount,
he Marchelat their head, and in a moment carried
the redoubt, where the Turks left two cannon and
btandards.

The second redoubt was occupied by nearly 500
men, protected by a battery, which showered grape-
shot upon our troops.
After having re-formed his detachment, and united
ome companies of chiFsenrs and infantry, Prince
Metubitoff ordered en attack with the bayonet, in-
stead of answering the fire of the Turkish musketry,
and cnrried the redoubt. Five cannon and twelve
standards were the riephies of this brilliant feat;
but the exci:emcbt of the soldi,,Ts was such that few
rlisoners were taken. The enemy left near GOO
dead on the spot, and we lost 100 in killed and I
wounded.

The Imperial army %vas full of ardour, notwith-
standing the fatigue of five consecutive forced
marches, followed by a battle, which was disputed
for some hours with the greatest fury.

ELECTION OF FRANCIS JEFFREY, ESQ.
AS DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF ADVOCATES.

(From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday.)
Yesterday at two o'clock, the Faculty of Advo•
rates met, pursuant to appointment, in the Court-
room of the Second Division, for the purpose of
electing one of their number to fill the high and im•
Lortant office of Dean, vacant by the elevation of
ord Moncreiff to the Bench. The meeting was
taunt:ally full, the Court-room, both within and
without the bar, being completely crowded. The
Vice-Dean, Mr. Thomas Thompson, having taken
the chair, the minutes of the previous meeting, em-
bodying Lord Moncreiff's letter of resignation, and
the reply of the Dean's Council thereto, were read
by the clerk ; after which the Solicitor-General, in
aa speech distinguished alike for high feeling and just
discrimination, proposed Francis Jeffrey, Esq. Ad-
vocate, as, in all respects, the most proper person to
fill the vacant office. Mr. Cockburn, evidently
under the influence of strong feeling, rose to
second the Solicitor-General's motion. When
Mr. Cockburn had concluded, the motion of
the Solicitor-General was carried by acclamation;
and Mr. Jeffrey took the chair amidst the hearty
and honest cheers of his professional brethren. At
this gratifying. moment, when the unanimous voice
of those who had known him so long and so well
placed_ him at their head, and greeted with the most
cerdial.l4eclamations hi occupation of that chair
which h'e'is so signally qualified to adorn, Mr. Jeffrey
seemed to be struggling with almost overpowering
emotion, and a few seconds elapsed before he was
able to address the Faculty in the capacity of their
newly appointed Dean. '1 his, however, he at length
did, in a subdued tone, but with a felicity, graceful-
ness, and propriety altogether inimitable. With the
Dean's address the business of the meeting ter-
minated, but numbers crowded around him to offer
their felicitations on this truly interesting occasion.

To prevent any improper impression from a
report in our Paper ckf Wednesday last of some proceedings
before the VICE-CiLiNCELLOR, in a suit " AxnlJWs tt.
Duke of Poiertaxo," we are requested to state that there
wa4 not any even the slightest hesitation on the part of
the Duke sr his Grace's agents to grant the lease to Mr.
ANnaews, according S7l' the agreement with the late
Duke. Whatever deity or difficulty there was arose o:dy
t rthe mode of effecting the lease, with reference to a cen-
t] a.ctwhich (in the interval of upwards of thirty years
ince the agreement with Mr. ANDREWS) had been en-
tered into with the Marylebone Vestry, and which con-
tract was made subject to the agreement with 31r. Art-
DREWsS% In fict toe lease was in preparation at the time
when Mr. ANDREWS filed his bill, and the form of it was
actuary approved by all parties previously t. the matter
being mendoned to the Vicr-Clnexclur.oa, as noticed in
aor Paper. The demurrer W7t3 adopted as the most con-
enien t mode of avoiding needless an 4 expensive litigation,
tease could be completed.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated July 2.)
PARIS, JULY I.—A letter from Constantinople,
Of the Bth of June, says that M. de Royer, the Mi.,
Mater from Prussia to the Porte, who left Naples
with Mr. Gordon and Count Guilleminot, had al-
ready arrived in the capital of the Ottoman etuplre,
and that the two other Ambassadors from whom lie
had parted off the islarld of Andros, and who had
sailed for Vouria, were expected at Constantinople
the next day, or the day after.
The journals of the south contain numerous de-
tails respecting the affairs of Catalonia. We extract
the following :
" PERPIGNAN, .I.t.i:s'E 22.—The arrests continue in
Catalonia. The Count D'Espagne is gone from
Olot to Campredon, and he is shortly expected at
Puyeercla. His presence inspires terror wherever
he goes. He is causing the citadel Figneries to be
armed and provisioned, as if the enemy was at the
gates of the place. lie does not permit any persons
to enter, except those of chose fidelity lie is perfectly
certain,"
A letter front the same town, of the 23d, says,—
"We learn to-day, that affairs of the highest im-
portance summon Baron Romain to the French Cer-
&pc,. It is reported that he is to have ins interview
oath the Captain-General of Catalonia, in the neigh-
bourhood of Puyeerda."
Lastly, a letter from Toulouse says—
" Every day there arrives from Perpignan, Spanish
refugees irnplieated in the late affairs of Catalonia.
The attempted insurrection which took place on the
19th has brought to us three individuals, two of
whom were to have acted a great part in the pre-
jetted insurrection."
