By the Algemeine Zeitung we have accounts this
mailing from C .nstantinople to the 14th ult. The non
arrival of the corn vessels from Alexandria had ocea
sioned some anxiety in the capital for their safety. The
admiration of all classes has been excited by the noble
defence the GRAND VIZIER made at Yarns, and
every exertion, as far as the season will permit,
is to be made by that brave Officer for its re-
capture. The exertions making for the prosecution
of the war during winter, is continued without inter-
mission, and quantities of troops are arriving from Asia
Minor, who immediately proceed to the theatre of w.t.
The following are extracts:

VIENNA, No•. 2S.

The mail from Constantinople of the lOth Inst. is arrived. In
the capital there were reports of victories said to have been gained
by the Tanks in the environs of Schumla, and by which the Rua-
elan troops were stated to have been compelled to retreat towards
Silistria. The Turks now flatter themselves that they shall recover
Varna, and the Grand Vizier is said to have sent fresh troops to
Pravadi, to operate against Varna. It is said, however, that the
snow is four feet even about Adrianople, so that it is not probable
that any thing serious can be undertaken against Varna.
Though scarcity of provisions begins already to be felt in Con-
stantinople, and great anxiety is felt for the arrival of the convoy
(said to be 120 ships) expected from Alexandria with corn, which li
is very likely to be stopped by the Russians at the Dardanelles, the
Sultan seems more bent on war than ever, and not in Ihe least dis-
posed to give way. The fate of the convoy may therefore be of
great importance. Great confidence was felt in the ability and en.
terprising spirit of the new Grand Vialer,and it was hoped he would
relieve Minds. ( We know here at Vienna, by letters from Odessa
of the 21st. that the siege of Silistria has really been raised in con.
sequence of rains and inundations, followed by severe frosts). A
French courier had arrived at Constantinople. We daily expect
tbc return of Baron Labezeltern from Paris.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 13.

The consternation which the certainty of the fall of Varna bad at
first spread among all classes of people has passed away, and is sue.'
ceeded by admiration for the brave defender of that place, and
fresh hopes, which are excited by his elevation to the rank of Grand'
Vizier. The calmness and energy of the Government, the firmness
of the Sultan, whp is said to be resolved to continue the war during
the winter, when the Turkish armies usually disperse, and the
zeal of the nation, remains unchanged. The military armaments

are prosecuted with increased activity; troops daily arrive from
Asia Minor, and those of Tchapan Oglou, one of the most powerful
of the hereditary tributary Princes of Asia Minor, which passed
through a few days ago, were remarked fur their fine appearance
and arms, and the beauty of their horses. This corps, of about
twelve thousand, immediately continued its march to theaiheatre
of war, notwithstanding the bad weather. It is wholirowing
to the bad weather that we have heard no more of military
operations since the fall of Varna, and the unsuccessful attempts of
the Russians against the positions on the Kamtschik. The setting
lu of the winter. during which the Black Sea is generally agitated
by violent tempests, having dispelled all apprehensions of attempts
at landing troops by the Russian fleet, the Sultan has ordered
the ships of war, hitherto stationed before the Bosphorus, to rt.
turn to Constantinople. Part .f them. it is said, will go to the
Hellespont. Not only the Grand Visier, but Omer Vrione and
Hunan Paella, are disgraced and banished. The Sultan is still in
Ramis Tcheflik.—Algetasina Zeitmwg, Dec. 4.

A Flanders Mail has brought us the Brussels Papers
of yesterday's close. The following aie extracts:

'Sr aim* 41oninasuces radar Vie publication of an official

doeument„, which has not yet been published in any European I
Journal. It is a memoir on the pacification of Greece, presented
by the Russian Cabinet to the Powers 4 emposing the Holy Akiliance
in the winter of 1823. (aka this document ia extremely lungs sod
not even yet concluded, we extract only a few passages):
" As there are in the Ottoman Empire separate principalities,
whkh if not created, have at least been voluntarily retained by the
Turkish Sovereigns, and as by taking due precautions against the
abuses which ruin Moldavia and Wallachia, it would be possible,
with the privileges originally guaranteed to those provinces, to
secure to them all she prosperity and tranquillity which they eau
enjoy—the Cabinet of his Imperial Majesty would propose to form
in Continental Greece principalities like those upon the Danube.
‘• These principalities might be three in number, as the groin.
phical position of Greece would seem to indicate.
" The brat would comprehend Tbessaly, Lelia, Attica, and
Eastern Greece.

" The second would include that part of the coast formerly be-
longing to Venice which has not been given up to Austria, of
Epirus, Acarnania, or Western Greece.
" The third would be composed of the hforea,or Southern Greece,
to which the island of Candia might be annez.:4l.

" As for the islands of the Archipelago, they would be subjected
to a municipal Government, which would, in fact, be only the re-
newal and regulation of the privileges which they have possessed
for two centuries. These arrangements, the motives and advan-
tages of which the Russian Cabinet will develops in the sequel,
would be accompanied by some other general stipulations.
The Porte would retain the sovereignty over all these countries
—it would not send Pachas or Governors, but would receive an-
nual tribute, which should be now fixed, according to the resources
of each island and principality. All public offices should be filled
by natives; and, in general, the Porte should maintain with Greece'
and the Archipelago the same relations as with Moldavia and Wal-
lachia. The Principalities and d reek Glands should enjoy entire
!then? of ebmnserce, and receive from the Porte the right to have 1
their own Rag.

" The Principalities and the Wands would be, u it were, re.l
presented at the Court of the &titan by the Patriarch of Constan-
tinople, who would reside in that capital, and enjoy the protection of
the law of nation, in the same manner as the Agents of the Princes
of Wallachia. The Porte would keep a garrison in a certain number
of fortresses, round which a tract of country should be allotted.
whence the Turkish troops should draw their supplies, but not be
allowed to make incursions into the surrounding country.

" Lastly., the results of this negotiation should be placed under
the guarantee of all the Allied Courtsa or of such of them as should
be willing to contract this engagement."—Brsiswis Pbpers, Dec. 10.

The French Papers of Monday and Tuesday bring
authentic in,elligence of the retreat ref the Russians,
hist f'om Schumla, and secondly, from Silistria. The
letters which convey this intell gerice come from Odessa,
and are dated the 19th ult. They admit in a still greater
extent than our previous advice'', the signal discom-
fiture of the invaders of Tutkey.—The extracts will be
found in our preceding ci.lianns.

Letters from Toulon, Ist Decenit,ei, state, that the

The report that peace was going to be signed with
Algiers appears to be contradicted. by the arrival of

France.
