Report of the Commander• in Chief of the second army, to his
Majesty the Rmperor, dated from the camp at the villap of Ma-
dara , frd 04th) of June—
" My report of the 12th of June has acquainted your Majesty,
that after the Grand Vizier bad been defeated in the defiles
at Kulawtsebo on the 11th of June, 1 resolved, in order to
profit by thin glorious victory, not only promptly to pursue
the enemy's army, but also to hinder, as far as possible, the
return of the remainder of it to Schumla. To this end,
the corps of General Count Pablen was every when to pursue
the enemy, and General Kuprianoff to oppose him on his Sight on
the side of Pravadi.

The corps of General Roth, to which the third division of
Hussars was added, advanced on the 11th of June by way of Ka.
sepia towards Maras ; and it was ordered that General Rodiger,
with his vanguard, gravid extend his line along the Namschlk, and
send strong detachments towards Kski Stamboul and Kostesy.
Count Pahko announced that the enemy bad not reached the
village of Markowce, but had left the road and turned to the
right, in the direction of Sankow, by by-roads which were accessible
only to infantry and cavalry. As the division of Major General
Koptianoff had showed itself near the village of Markowce.tbeCotent

left the pursuit of the enemy to him, and returned to the position
occupied by the army. On this ground General Pahien found the
road covered with such a quantity of abandoned baggage, ammu-
nition waggons, and arms, that it was difficult to make his way
through them. The Reports of Major General Kuprianoff say the
same. In his pursuit of the enemy be found still worse roads, 30 that
a line of 20 wersts presented the appearance of a total rout of the
enemy's army. Prisoners are constantly brought in. Many 410-
lions of the regular troops throw away their arms, and give them-
selves up to the generosity of the conquerors.
While General Roth, according to my orders, was proceeding
towards Maras, be perceived a division of about one thousand
five hundred of the enemy's cavalry on the road to the village
of Kasapla at Kurganek, where the redoubt No. 26 stood.
He immediately detached Lieutenant General Prince Madatow,
who covered his right wing, with the regiments of Huuars Alex-
ander and Astrachan, and artillery, against the enemy, and if pos-
sible to cut *this retreat toSchumla ; while thelst Regiment received
orders, with two pieces of horse artillery, to attack the enemy in
front. He executed these orders with his usual intrepidity.
He attacked and dispersed the enemy, and took two standards. In
his rapid pursuit, he came to an enemy's redoubt, and was received
by the fire of two cannon and musketry. However, be made the
Hussars and other cavalry dismount, attacked the redoubt, and
made himself master of it in a moment, as well as of the guns
and two standards. Only a naafi part of the garrison of this re-
doubt was able to escape to another that was near. This was also
attacked by the brave Hussars, who were, however, obliged to
retreat, because there were above four hundred infantry, with
three guns, in it. Meanwhile General Roth arrived on the
field, and as the Turks answered the personal summons of
Prince Medatoff with a shower of balls, a fire was opened
upon it at a distance of less than 200 paces, and the two regiments
brought by General Roth attacked it with the bayonet. The opera
lion was executed to a moments we took the redoubt with the
'three guns and standards in it.

The garrison was put to the sword. The loss of the enemy
was 600 killed, five gess, and twelve standards. The seal of
our troops in this rapid and decisive operation is not to be
described. General Moraview was the first who took the standard
of a Pacha. Prince Madatow was every where the first on the
way to victory, and all those under him followed his example.
During the engagement, General Rudiger, with the 18th Re-
giment, and lid Regiment of Helens, continued his march towards
Maras, whither other troops of General Roth proceeded after the
battle. We had about 100 killed and wounded.

I have the pleasure of 'ending to your Majesty at the same
time the 16 standards taken in the battles of the 11th and 12th of
June. (Signed) ADJUTANT-GEN. COUNT DIEBITSCH.

The Flanders Mail brought us this day a variety of
interesting paragraphs from the Continent. The Bro.

•
sell Papers are almost wholly occupied with the detail
of the KING'S journey through the southern provinces,
enlarging, of course, on the enthusiasm with which his
MAJESTY is received. It will be perceived that Russia
is busy cultivating the friendship of. the rude 1130116.
taineers of Tarki and the Caucasus. Of the operations
before Silistria, and the hopes entertained of pe4ce
Constantinople, there are some interesting notices. The
plague still rages in the Principalities. The follow, g
are extracts:
PETERSBURG H, Jinn 17.
Letters from Tiflis of the 15th of May announce that Prince
Cbosrew Mirsa was immediately to leave that city to proceed to
St. Petersburgb. It has been observed for some time past that the
warlike tribes inhabiting the north east coast of the Caucasus be. -
come much more peaceable, and meet the beneficent endeavours of
our Government to bring them to a state of civilization. A great
number of the oldest of the Tschetscitenzes, among whom is the
notorious Beibutat one of the boldest adventurers of the Caucasus,
have lately. as a proof their submission, requested for their Chief
the Shantschal of Tarki, who has long been a subject of Russia.—
Mehti Chan Shantschal of Tarki has received the consent of our
Government to come to this capital. and will soon arrive at St.
Petersburgh. This Prime. whose domains are the most consider.
able in Dagbestan, and who has great influence over the Princes of
the mountaineers in his vicinity, has always been remarkable for
his unshaken fidelity to Russia, and has the rank of Lieutenant.
General in our army. The Province of Tarki has recognized the
sovereignty of Russia ever since the first half of the 17th century;
and Czar Michael Feodorowitsch, the first Sovereign of the House
of Romaoo, gave the first investiture to the Shanne.hal in 1638.
ODESSA, Jews 10.
The Russians set at liberty by the Sultan, who have been brought
hither by a Sardinian and an Austrian ship, are four superior
Officers, two Ensigns, and 106 privates. Nobody here knows the
Sultan's reasons for setting them at liberty. As far as we can learn,
one of his favourites visited, in the beginning of May, the Russian
prisoners of war, who are in the Prince's island, and told them
that the Sultan intended to restore them all to liberty. Seen after.
wards the same person returned, selected the above-mentioned
individuals, and told them they were to go oo board vessels ready
to convey them to Odessa. At the same time, be informed those
who were left behind that they too would soon have their liberty.
On their departure, no questions were put to the prisoners, nor
were any promises whatever required of them.—Praissien Slate

FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Joys 6.
Greek merchants at Belgrade have letters from Coaseandnopk,
which say a great deal about the mission of the Persian Ambassador
to the Porte. He is said to have travelled from Teheran to Scu•
tart in ten days; from which it is inferred that his mission is im.
portan
sift t. He immediately bad an audience of the Reis Effendi; "-
and er it was over, dispatched a courier to his Court. We hear
that the Shah much regrets having concluded an unfavourable
peace with Russia, and does not intend to keep it ; that he is
therefore endeavouring to gain friends, and his Ambassador to
the Porte is to endeavour to gain its support. The Divas Is
said not to be averse to an alliance with Persia • but the el- •
puled arrival of the French and English Ambassadors hinders it
from giving at present a decisive answer to the proposals of Persia,
as the Porte attaches great importance to the renewal of the
friendly relations with the English Cabinet, and will do nothing I
without its advice. This is said to have been the spirit of the
answer of the Reis Effendi to the Persian Ambassador. It was
affirmed at Constantinople that great preparations for war were
making in Persia, which divided the attention of Gen. Paskewitsch, i
so that be would not be able to prosecute his campaign against the
Turks with the same energy u the last. The Sultan is said to be •
greatly satisfied with the proceedings of the Grand Vista hitherto, ,
but to have given him positive orders to drive the Russians from
Bischoff. it being very disagreeable to him to have the enemy so ,
near the capital. The Padta of Belgrade has received a large
remittance of money.
BUCHAREST, Jose 9.
Though the plague has not spread since the Sth, all the shops and
the markets are closed, and all communication made with the
greatest precaution. News is received from Galan that the plague
has also manifested itself there. As the Russian hospitals are in
that town, and the communication between Wallachia and the I
coasts of the Black Sea puns through it, this is a melancholy cir-
cumstance for us. From Saluda, though only • few days journey
from us, we have nothing certain to add to the news lately com-
municated.

Nobody remembers such a summer as this. All the rivers in
the Bennet bun overflowed their banks. On the 4th the rivers
had risen to a dreadful height, and for these two days past the
mammalm have been Umered with snow as In the midst of winter.
We hear that the plague is not only in the villages in the principa.
lidos, but in the towns, and in some of the Russian regiments and
depots. The Governors of Hirchova and Issalitcha, where there
are large hospitals, have fallen victims to their zeal in the service.
These distresses are Increased by the state of the weather for some
months past. For the last fortnight the rain has poured down in
torrents. All the rivers over flow, and it is feared that the Danube
may greatly impede the siege of Silistria. Reports of all kinds are
in circulation respecting several sallies of the Turks at Silistria, 0
from 23d May to 2d June. They are said to fight with desperate
courage. It was reported the day before yesterday at Jassy, that
the Grand Vizier, after a sanguinary action near Pravadi, bad re- '
turned to &huinla, and detached armed parties in all directions to
intercept the communications of the Russians.
FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA. June 8.
It is reported that the Grand Vizier bad sent from his camp at
Schumla 25,000 men to Pravadi,and occupied that place. by which
the communication with Varna and the corps before Silistria was
interrupted,—the Turkish cavalry scouring the country as far as
Varna, and disturbing the communications with Kovarna. The
Grand Vizier is said to be making great preparations to relieve
Silistria, and to have already sent a park of artillery on the road.
The garrison of Silistria makes frequent sallies, and is said to have
stormed a Russian battery some days ago, after a severe contest;
and, having spiked the guns, returned into the place. The loss on
both sides is described to be great—however. we have no official
accounts of these events.—Letters from Warsaw say, that the
Polish army still wishes to take part in the campaign egoista the
Turks • but there are circumstances which prevent this wish being
complied with; It least this year.-41gemeiste &stung, .hreer

NATION.

"At the closing of the extraordinary Meeting, I ennoonced to the
Assembly that our alliances remained entire and unaltered. The best
noderstandinp continue between me and the Sovereigns of Europe,
and the States of the Continent of America. Heave ratified a treaty
of commerce and navigation with the King of Denmark,an additional
Article has been added to the Treaty of 11126, concluded with t►e
King of France, and an especial Convention has been concluded
with the same Sovereign; and I have concluded the Preliminaries
of Peace with the Government of Rio de is Plata. Our Secretary
of State is empowered to ratify these sets. Anxious toswatch
over the interests of my beloved daughter, the reigning Queen
of Portugal, I resolved that she should go to Europe, where
she arrived after the usurpation of her Crown. Nothing has been
decided with respect to the usurpation, as the tranquillity and In.
(crests of this Empire demanded my sole care; but I am equally
firm in not compromising the interests of my daughter. The perfect
tranquillity of the Provinces of the Empire also required my utmost
attention, for in Pernambuco a re►ellion had raised Its bead.
I was compelled to take extraordinary measures for restoring the
Government to a sound state and to preserve our religion. I shall
ever take measures to defend the form of Government established
under a Constitutional Monarchy.
a The abuse of the liberty of the Press has Increased, to the
scandal of the Empire—it demands the most serious attention
of the Assembly to repress the evil, from which the most
fatal resoles may be expected. The state of the Empire will
continue to demand your most particular care, and I hope you
will employ yourselves with equal solicitude to the prosperity
of the Brazils. I spin recommend to your consideration the a.
ministration of Justice. The Constitutional System requires diet
the complete orpalzation of the judicial power should be concluded.
The law of naturalization, so necessary to the interests of %demi.
and for the ►enefit of the State, will be my unceasing

object. These are the objects which I recommend also to the
moat serious attention and consideration of the Assembly. I rely
upon your firm co-operation in these matters to strengthen the
glory and splendour of the Imperial Throne and the prosperity of
the Braids."

" British Coagulate, April 15,1829.
" Carthagena de Colombia.
" Sta—The ad Wite/VIII system for the levyiug of the dudes of
Customs in Colombia having been superseded by the adoption of a
Tariff as now in operation, merchants did not in general consider it
necessary that goods imported should be accompanied by invoices
tarnished with an official visa, as required during the continuation
of that system.
" The Government, however, now require that requisite, to serve
as a check upon the Collectors of the Customs and their Officers,
and a circular letter bas been addressed by the Minister of Finance
to the several Prefects, under date the 13th of March last, to
notify that all goods imported, although valued now by Tariff,
must be accompanied by invoices, having the visa of the Consuls
or Vice-Consuls, or Commercial Agents, or in default of those, of
any friendly Power having entered into a Treaty of Commerce
with Colombia; and such goods, not having that requisite, are
chargeable with an additional duty of five per cent. on the valua-
tion by tariff, to have effect alter the expiration of four months in
regard to vessels from Europe, and of two months for vessels from
the Islands and Continent of America, reckoned from the date of
publication of that resolution in the capital of each Prefecture.

We learn by these accounts that his Majesty's ship
Barham, the loss of which was reported, has been on
shore, but was subsequently gut off witl. damage. The
following abstract of the Journal of an oMcer un board
will give the particulars, as well as her subsequent ar-
rival at Curagoa:

" His Majesty's Ship Barham, April SO, 1829.
4, Tuesday, April 28, at half-past twelve in the day, the Barham
sailed from La Guyra for Curacoa. At midnight the ship grounded
on the south front of Buenos Ayres, having been by the log 92
miles 6 fathoms N.W. It was Parker's watch —he bad relieved
the deck about five minutes, was cautioning the 100k-outs, and
examining the log slate. She was under topsail, mainsail, jib,
and driver, going 6 and 6, and was twenty-seven miles to leeward
of the place, with a fine starlight night, occasionally cloudy,
and intending to heave-to at two o'clock, with the wind to S.—
We were within half pistol shot of the bank, which is low and
sinking, with some surf breaking over it, the bottom coral and sand.
Her false keel came up soon after, and smaU pieces of her bottom
immediately followed. She makes from two to three feet water
per hour. We succeeded in getting her off the ground by throwing
overboard all the shot and thirty-seven of her guns, carriages,
lumber, spars, &c. but with the loss of two bower anchors, stream
and kedge, and stream chain, and held her on but close to the
bank till Thursday evening, when, in attempting to make sail by the
jib the anchor came home, she re-grounded astern, and knocked
off her rudder, the pistols giving. A second attempt, however,
succeeded—the jib drew, she shot off, and is so far secured,
without any material injury to any of the crew. The ship is, of
course, dismantled a good deal, and is considerably injured. The
bolts are started up through her kelson two or three inches, and the
joints in bet keel are risen one above another. She also shows it
on one side of her main deck. The ship makes less water, is kept
free by two hand pumps, and it is determined to brave her down
at Curacoa. A schooner was dispatched last night to Antigua, for
orders to the Ranger to bring there all the useful stores. A per-
son here, who has been a resident 53 years, declares that no ship
which bad grounded where we did ever succeeded in getting off
before."

i, Cetera, Mar 4.—Here we are safe, the ship making Little
water."

" MAT s.—lt is my opinion that we have not the means to heave
her down, unless she bears down to the Ranger or some large ship.
The Admiral,; at all events, Intends clearing the ship :he is looking
for a house on shore. A diver boa been down, and reports the false
keel entirely gone, and some copper, but the main keel not much
butt exteriorly. We hope to recover oar guns."
