CONSTANTINOPLE, JANUARY

. We have received intelligence that General Mar-
kow's corps, which has proved so fatal to us on the
banks of the Danube, has repassed to the left of that
river, and that the corps commanded by Seraskier
Ismael Bey has left the position it occupied near Ca-
lafate, and taken another upon the right of the river.
We have also learnt, that Tschapan Oglou's corps,
which was in the island of Slobodse, had been forced
by want of victuals and sickness to capitulate. The
soldiers have been disarmed, the officers only preser-
ving their arms. The corps is cantoned in the vil.
lages in the environs of Giurgewo. Nevertheless the
sick and wounded, to the number of nearly 2000,
have been given up to the Grand Vizier, and recon-
ducted to Rudschuck for their recovery, and to re-
ceive such cares as their situation demands.
The Grand Vizier is constantly occupied in repair-
ing the works at Rudschuck, which the enemy had
flestroyed. As soon as they are completed, and the
place provisioned and placed in a state of defence, be
will coiduct his army to take winter quarters at
Schumla, where the old Admiral Hasig Ali Pacha,
known by his severity in maintaining military disci-
pline, in tke mean time commands.
The Russian and Turkish Generals'in Chief have,
however, agreed to a suspension of arms for an inde-
finite time, upon the single condition of giving 20
days notice of the termination of the armistice.
We _know, that in consequence of this suspension,
the Raisins have granted for three or fourmontbs,
under certain restrictions, permission for importation
and exportation between Wallachia and the right,
bank of the Danube by Senanitsa, but on the Turkish]
side, this route continues shut;- to travellers and all'
kinds of conveyances.
Nothing is publicly known respecting the negeVlO=
tions, which have been transferred from GiurgewOtti
Bucharest ; an order of Government prohibits unclie,
-the severest penalties the talking about peaceiu pub.'
lic places.
On the 25th tile Divan will deliberate, inpresence
of the Grand Mufti, upon the preparations for the]
next campaign.
The most recent intelligence from Egypt confirms
not only tbe taking of Jamho, and the fortress of
Nahal-en-Bar, situate on the coast six leagues from
Jumbo, but also speaks of three victories gained over
the Wechabites, upon which a division of troops
disembarked upon that point, and joined the princi-
pal corps, disembarked at another point, under the
orders of Jusum Pacha, eldest son of the Governor
of Egypt, and the army immediately put itself in
motion fur Medina.
The couriers bearing this intelligence, arrived on
the 12th of November at Cairo.
The execution of this great expedition, adds the
information from Cairo, has not diminished the ac-
tivity of the Governor of Egypt, Mahomed Ali
Pasha, who, at the same time, sent a division of ca-
valry to strengthen the cordon of Upper Egypt, and
watch the movements of the wreck of the Mame-
Jokes, who have joined under Aswan.
This will repress their incursions, and prevent
them destroying that fine P;ovince.

Ti .e Servian Senate has dispatched several couriers

There has yet been no formal public orders from
which the recommencement of hostilities can be in.
fined— nevertheless, the troops who returned to their
licmes are not disbanded, but ordered to hold them-
selves in readiness to march at a moment's notice,
and resume the positions they occupied previous to
the last armistice. Hitherto the two cordons estab-
lished on the Drina and Morawa, have been very
weak. The Turkish cordon from Bosnia keeps at a
distance from the frontiers of Servia, and the mina-
brr of troops which were assembled at Nissa and. its
