LOWER ELBE, SEPT. °9.

The last letters from Berlin mention a confident
expectation in that city of the return of his Pru,sian.
Majesty, accompanied by the Minister Von Alten.
stein and the Privy Counsellor Stegman, in the event
of a peace between France and Austria.
It is also asserted, that the Queen assured a depu-
tation of the trained bands of her intention shortly to
visit Berlin, for the purpose of lying in there.
The new Magistracy seem disposed to take the
most rigid measures for collecting the arrears of taxes
due to the city treasury.

TURKISH BULLETIN.

" CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 6.—The Ottoman arm
continue victorious; and it is confirmed, that the ad-
vantages already published are more important and
decisive than it was first believed.
" On the 3d of May the Russians lost before Ibrail,
not less than 15,000 men ; and on the 18th, the re-
mainder of the corps which hid assailed that fortress
were precipitately driven over the River Sereth, with '
the loss of 200 men more. On the 23d the Russians
were again completely beaten, though not with such
• great loss, at Zimniza, a village on the left of the river •
Danube, in front of Sistova. All reports agree, that
the greatest discontent exists among; the Russian
army ; that the officers and privates are at variance,
and that they accord in nothing but in their uni-
versal disg,lst at the war with Turkey. A consi-
derable number of deserters have come over from
the Russian camp to the Turkish army.—The
Ser-
vians have been defeated by the Turks near Widdin ;

ceived advice, that the Servians have been entirely
defeated by the Ottoman troops, commanded by his

near Nissa.—The Turks, after having cut hi pieces
many of the enemy, took 7000 prisoners, with their
cannon and ammunition."
