TRIESTE. NOV. 23.
Most of the rockets which the English have thrown
at us fell in the sea. These infernal machines are
formed of tin tnbes, about two feet long and' three
inches thick, filled with combustibles and balls.—
They cannot be approached without the greatest
danger.
The cold has within these few days set in with
great severity, and as we can have no communica-
tion on the sea side, good fire-wood has risen from
100 to 130 guilders the klaften. We have therefore
the prospect of x dreadful winter before us.
Ncv. 26.—0 n the entrance of the French into this
town, all colonial produce has been sequestrated.—
It is now, along with all the English property, re-
moved to Venice. We are therefore now placed in
the singular situation of looking to other quarters of
the Continent for sugar and coffee to supply the wants
of this town.
Nov. 27.—The English still cruize in sight of
Trieste ; they are six or eight sail strong. They
have not, however, repeated their cruel attempt tq
set fire to our unfortunate town by the infernal Cow
i
greve's rockets.
It was between eight and nine on the evening of tas,
22d, when about 200 of these hellish machines seem'
directed against Trieste. Most of them, however,
fell in the sea, and only five or six reached the most;
advanced houses of the town, where they did no ma-
terial damage. Some persons were slightly Wound-
ed, but the terror was general, as it was not at first
easy to conjecture how the terrible scene would end.
It was remarked, that most of the rockets appeared
to be directed against the Russian ships at anchor in
the inner harbour.. They, however, did not reach
these vessels. The French artillery kept up a tre-
mendous fire of 24 and 36-pounders from the castle
and the batteries on the mole, and doubtless prevented
the English from approaching nearer to the town.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

ST. P.ETEP.SBURGii, NOV. 29.

Five Russian frigates in the Black Sea have had a I
very gallant action with a Turkish squadron, and re-
turned in safety.-
The Russian produce at Riga still rises in price.
The Course of E ,change is falling—it was yester-
day on our Exchange 11,-; florins Banco, on Ham-
burgh. Dutch ducats are worth nine rubles in bank
paper.
The winter has set in with severe cold. The plan
for removing the merchantnhen in Cronstadt, loaded
for neutral ports, has, on account of the difficulty of
the execution, been given np. The Russian frigate
Pollax has beer. wrecked in a storm off Sweaberg.
The harvest in the government of St. Petersburgh
has been more productive titian fur these many years

past.
The follow;ng military details are published in a
Supplement to the Court Gatitte .
.• When. the Commander in Chief was informed,
on the 9th of Octol)er, by General Platow, that the
Turkish troops, detached by the Grand inzier, under
the command of the ?acha of Aleppo, a Pacha of
three tails, were approaching our catnp, he imme-
clia:ely proceeded towards them, having previously
o dered nine battalions of infantry to advance with
all expedition in the same direction.
" The enemy were posted in the villages about
Tatariza, situated in a valley on the bank of, the Da-
nube, and defended by batteries and entrenchments
The Commander in Chief resolved to attack the
enemy early in the morning of the 10th.
" The action commenced by a cannonade in the
centre, which lasted five hours. The Commander in
Chief then ordered the sharp shooters, who formed
squares of infintry, accompanying the cavalry, to
advance. The Turks, upon this, soon began to fall
back a little; and Major-General 133chrnetew, by a
hold movement, and a severe attack ,with his square,
forced the enemy to betake to a real retreat. At the
same time, the regiment of White Hussars, under
the command of Colonel Lenskoi, and the Fletm in's
regiment of the Don corps, under the command of
Major General Count Stagocow, rushed forth from-
the centre, v:ith the greatest rapidity and courage on
the enemy, and drove them from the heights of which
they had possession. The infantry took the enemy's
batter:es. •

PARTS, DEC.
On the night between the 16,n and .17th ult. forty
ships, bound to the Southward, sailed from Brest.—
Next night, from forty to fifty more stood towards
the coast of Brittany. On the 29th, the whole con-
voy, of about eighty ships strong, directed its course
to the Southward.

Since the 20th, the passage of the Isle of Aix has
been blockaded as formerly by the enemy.

We have this morning been favoured with letters
from New South Wales, of as late a date as the Ist
of August last, the contents of which are interesting.
The Public will recollect, that some time ago it
had been found expedient by Major JolissroN, Com-
mandant of the New South Wales Corps, at Sydney,
and others, to arrest Governor &tun, and. suspend
him from his functions, as Captain-Lleneral and Go-
vernor-in-Chief.
On the 81st of December, 1808, his Majesty's skip_
PORPOISE, Captain KENT, arrived at Port Jack son,
from Van Diemen's Land, where she had been
with provisions and stores for the relief of the Set-
dement there, and for the purpose of bringing op
Colonel P.trreasoN, the Lieutenant-Governor, who
arrived in her, and who immediately took upon him
the government of the territory ; and, conceiving it
absolutely necessary to send Governor Bumf to Eng-
land, he intended hiring the ship Admiral Gambier,
for that service ; which ship was then at PortJackson;l
but Governor BLIGII having stated a wish to be sent

" In the mean time, a considerable part of the
enemy's force advanced through woods upon orr
left flank, and attacked the square under the com-
mand of Adjutant General Prince Trubezkoi. The
Commander i, Chief ordered the square under the
command of Colonel Truhnikow to prgcced to this
quarter ; but before it arrived, Prince Trusbezkoi's
yagel s, assisted by the cavalry under the command
of Major Central Pahlen, had already had the good
fortune to repute tic enemy. In this manner were
the Turks compelled to retreat to their entrenchments
after they had lust 6(() men killed, DX) prisoners,
and 16 standards. Our loss was about b 0 killed, and
20) wounded.

" While this was passing near the village of Ta-1
tariza, the Turks, :o the number of 3000 men, in in-
fantry and cavalry, made a sortie from the village of
Silistria. They made an attack un two squadrons of
Olwiopolish Hussars and a battalion of the Peters-1
burgh dragoons, which were posted on the heights,
and which were supported by a bairalion of the 13th
gagers, and a battalion of the Fanagorish grenadiers.
This detachment, which was under the command of
Major General Cmint Monteftiel, drew up in order of
battle, and drive back the Turks, by sending out the
sharp shooters and flanking corps against them.
" When the action began, the right wing of Gen.
Bulatow's corps had arrived. The Turks bought
forward a piece of artillery, and even becan to fire,
but were driven back. lit last General litilatow or-
dered the y age! s to advance upon the left, and the
-Uhlans upon the right flanks of the enemy. The
sharp shooters and Bankers threw themselves into the
gardens, and not only dislodged the enemy from the
woods and the marshes, but drove them with great.
loss into the town.

" Thus terminated this action, which lasted eight
hours, and disappointed the views of the enemy.—
During tlse whole of the action there were on our aide
onli twO privates killed, and one officer and 60 pri-
vates wmande4."

"By Command of his Ettellesty, s►u.L+AM assrtro."
Thii Proclamation drew forth another from Colo-
nel PATTiaiON.
The Proclamation of Colonel PATZ*Ww it dated

February 4th, 1869. It states that whereas an Agree- '
meat had been entered into between Governor Buou
and Colonel Parzasom, of the Ikdlowing tenor :
414 That Lieutenant Governor Bums will embark
with his family on board the Poacursoa, on the 20th
inst.. and will put to sea as soon after as the wind and
weather will permit :

44 That Weill proceed to England with the utmost
dispatch, and that he Al neither touch at nor return
to goy part of this territory until be shall have re-
ceived his Manarir's instructions, or those' of his
Ministers I

H That-he will not, in any manner, or under auy pre-
tence whatever, while be remains in this Colony, in-
terfere in the governance 9r aifairs.sbersof ands
4, That he will not throw anyimpedinsent in the way
of the Poarcnsa being eqnippedosid proceeding with
him on her voyage at the stipulated time."
After stating that Governor 'Bums bad committed
a breach of the above Articles, the Proclamation,

which is dated the I9th March last, prohibits all cor-
respondence and communication with the late Go-
vernor or any of his family, friends. or associates,
from that time.

On the 17th of March, Governor BLIGH weighed
anchor, and left the heads of Port Jackson, as every
person on board supposed, for England ; but, to tlkeir
astonishment, he kept the Pilot on board. The wind
being southerly, drove the vessel to the northward.
When the wind shifted, he ran up as far as Port Jack-
son, as he said, to land the pilot ; on his arrival there
he still kept his course along the hind, and said he
would run as far as Cape Howe, to ascertain the cor-
rectness of his time-pieces, previous to sailing for.
England ; but he still kept :shaping his course to the
south card, and ran into the river Derwent, where he
a...chored. He has since that period remained about
the out-ports or settlements, and when these letters
came away, which was the Ist of August, the POIt•
POISE was lying in Storm Bay Passage.
Messrs. PALMIER and Ham have been tried before
a criminal Court, for distributing Governor BLIGNI'S
Proclamation, and sentenced to imprisonment.
Colonel 1114Qtreatus, of the 73d regiment, the new
Governor, has doubtless arrived in New South Wales
and therefore Governor BLIGII may be hourly =-
peered home, when a strict investigation of his ems-
duct will takeplace, and the result of this tee--
nary.business be fully known.
