TOULON, Novatreas 44.
Besides the considerable quantity of ammunition and provisions
already. sent to the Mores, another convoy will sail at the end of
this tnontb. It is also stated that three other regiments are to
embark, which will be of great service, considering the num►er of
sick there.

Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday came to band
last night: they communicate hardly any political in.
telligenee. The Gazette de France, on the authority of
a letter from Frankfurt, informs us, that though the
fortress of Silistria was hardly pressed, there was no
appearance of its speedy surrender. The Ambassadors
of the three P. wets have. it is stated, brought the first
part of their labours t r a close, by deciding in favour
of the absolute independence of Greece; and a procla-
mation by Crunt CAM DISTSIA. whir had arrived at
E,tina, from Pores, aniounces this result. Respecting
the limits of Greece, ere accounts are conflicting ; some
stating they are not to extend beyond the Isthmus and
the Gulf of Lepanto—others stating that they arerto be
carried asiar"as the Gulf of Arta on one side, and the
Gulf of Zertouni oa the other. In the meantime, pre-
parations are making at N spies te receive the Ambas-
sadors, where the conferences relatite to the boundaries
will be probably resumed.

The former confirm the report of the retreat of the
Turks from Kalafat. This was effected so precipitately

that they had no time to destroy the fortifications.
tehich were found in the best condition. The Ros,ians
;rack much import.nce to the possession of this place,
on account of the additinnal security it gives to Little'
Wallachia, and
,the facility it affords for provisioning
heir army. Ott is affirmed in an article in the German,
Papers (rpm Cuestentinnple, thAt the Turks intend to

ST. PSTERSBUROII, tie% 14.
We have received to-day from Bucharest, under the date of
STS Patarber„,thelpsitive information which bad been brought

thither by an Aid.de-Camp of General Osialnar, of the sudden
evacuation of Kalsfat by the Turks, who bad precipitately retreated
to Widdin. As soon u General Geismar was informed of thP
unexpected retresi he did ant delay for a moment to advance with
his troupe to•Kalsfat. On approaching the place, it was found that
the Turks bad indeed abandoned It, leaving their intrenchinente
in the best condition, the fortifications palisaded and casematek,
so that they are able to hold out. siege.
Whatever may be the cause of this precipitate retreat, the taking
of Kaiafat is very important on aecount of the additional security it
gives to Little Wallachia, and the facility it affords us of obtaining
supplies, which have hitherto been precarious and uncertain, while
the country was more or less exposed to the attacks of the enemy.
Accounts from Riga of the 3d November say that the prices of
corn begin to fall—that which has been exported has been sent to
England and Holland. A ship has just been freighted to carry a
cargo of rye to Dantzic—a very extraordinary circumstance is that
port. The cold was so severe in the night of the nd that there was
ice on the Duna.

Letters from Tiflis, of a very recent date, bring the melancholy

His Majesty, by an Ukase, dated the 7th inst. addressed .to the
Directing Senate, has been pleased to express his desire that the
establishments for the purpose of education and charitable purposes.
founded ►y the late Empress Maria Feodorouns, shall continue to

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 16.

The Diet was opened yesterday in the usual form, by his Ma-
jesty in person. In his speech, which was read by his Royal High-
ness the Crown Prince, his Majesty spoke in terms of great satis-
faction of the internal situation of the kingdom; trade and manu-
factures flourish, and his Majesty Is for the first time able to lay the
budget before the Diet on the day of its opening.
The report on the state of the kingdom. said his Majesty, will
show you the flourishing state of our finances, and the improve-
ment of agriculture. After meeting the tspences placed in the
budget, and providing for unforseen disbursements, the Govern-
ment has deposited nearly two millions dollars in the sinking fund.
It appears that in the coffers of the several departments, and in
taxes not yet received, there is a reserve of five millions. The
bank has. by means of purchases, increased Its cash in hand by
nearly one million, without adding to the amount of its notes. His
Majesty stated that great improvements, were making in the In.
ternsl communications of the two kingdoms. The road which is

to kad over the Alps of the North to Drontheint is finished on the
Swedish aide. The difficulties of the ground on the Norwegian
side have delayed the progress of the work. His Majesty observes,
however, that the army has silU great wants, and the brave
warriors look forwud with confidence to the measures which will
be submitted to the Diet.

Nov. 16.—According to a report bs one of our Journals, width
cannot be considered as entitled to implicit credit, a Royal pro.

♦IENNA, Nor. 19.

The flail from Constmtinople has at length arrived this morn-
ing. It seems that the news of the fall of Varna has greedy in.
creased the military spirit of the people of the capital. The Turks,
it is armed, will keep the field during the winter, and dispute
with the Ituaiase ever/ foot of ground. It was said the Sultan
would go to Adrianople, and fresh troops are ordered to Winch,
where the Russian besieging corps is daily increasing.
