CONStANTINOPLE. Sur. 26.
The following bulletin was puhlishid here yesterday:
" His Excellency the S•raskier ordered, on the 17th
of September, the Beglerbeg, Misch Pasha, to go with
some thousand men, and fall on the rear of the Rus
Irian', beyond Strandcha. He first met with the Russian
ttoops at kulassek. They were driven back upon the
habitatio4ls, with the loss of 200 kilted, and 28 prisoners.
Al er this successful combat, Misch Pacha resolved to
attack tie bead quarters of field Marahal -Count Witt-
genstein, when a body of the enemy's cavalry, 6,000
strong, appeared coming from Varna.. = Without losing
any time, our troops attacked them witlt extraordinary
courage, and, by the aid of Goo, gained a-complete
victory, after sanguinary action. 01 these 6,oo3mieb,
very few fovea safety in• eight ; 600 were .madeliri.
sorters, and the others covered, with their dead beams,
the field of battle. On this occasion our brave soldiers;
made-themselves, masters. of some thousand -horsaramd
cattle. carbinei, and other arlicle.,:ts well'ategrest
quantity of ammunition waggons, whiChlsere burnt.—.l
On his return to' the Imperial camp, Alisich*Pacha met
with a battalion of Russian infantry, which were cut to
pieces to *sum." •
The siege of Varna continues to be carried on with
ardour by the Russians, both by sea and land, but the
zeal and courage 'or its brave defender, hail Mehtmed
Pacha, and of the gat 'isnot, do not ab.ite; and. accord-
,o the last news received by tire Poste. Varna has
not only its communications open, but had suffered very
little from the enemy% fire. According to some pri.
• rte actouitx . the Grand Vitier had arrived belcee that
place, while the Capitan Pacha was amusing the Rus-
sians with sieguciations. It is generally believed that
this bolwast is saved for this year.
It reteinslhat the garrison of Silistria also Ellin Ge-
%weal Rots to suffer much loss. Thus Mahonsed, soon
after having arrived there with reinforcemen% made a
sally on the 18th, in which the Russians lout 1,00 killed
and wounded, and 200 prisoners. Many primness have

Sossaad deposed, that. the prisoner came
into the shop,of her husband on the day in question) and,
.asked to see gline gold caskets. She dCowed her ttua,
and lett her for a tew minutes to attend to other-cos,.

topes!, and •on her again Trial ning.so her she missed'
one of the caskets. The witness retillested her to give
her name, which she did, and then suffered her to leave
the. shop.

This statement was supported by other witnesses:
The Countess, in her defence,laid—a gentlemen, :1
protest my innocence of the crime with whicfi I' ass
charged. On the day in queitionj enieret the shod of
M. Bassaud with the intention of purchasihc a caiket
and a ring ; I had been looking at some iii the 'shop;
I knave. not by what means one of. the,.cakkos got into
my reticule. On my 'return borne 1 disioverest that 1
had taken it away by mistake. 1 then sent orie.of my,
servants for Madame Bass'and, and desired her to bring
with her a casket and a :mg, and at the 'same time .1
meant to acknowledge my niiitake to het. A stranger,
however) came, end I *as ashamed to make my lie•
koowledgement to ha of to return the casket. 4s a
pool anti had no ill-intention, 1 offered: to submit to

she had some of. his property in her. bag. She Mime•
diately returned the things to him, Ine prisoner told
turn that ake'had taken • the thing's by.mistriket and that
she had ho intention of stealing them...
The Fromm du goi said, that he hoped . the re-
morse was real which the prisoner felt at being placed
. at the bar, where, too often. unhappy . wretches, whom
Providence had not favoured, as she bad been.• with
an illustrious birth and the benefits of education, and
who were compelled, in sonic degree, by want, td se.,
son to crimes similat to those which the prisoner was
charged with, and which in her cue marked a (141-,
plorable depravity, which every one must reflect ere
with pain.
Mr. Farrell addressed the Court at great length fee
the prisoner. He had hardly fiiiished, when the psi.
saner arose, and clasping her hands, and in tears ea.
claimed, •• Gentlemen, 1 beg 'ou, in the name of my
family. to hive pity on.me, and consider my unhappy
1 situation." .The Tribunals after some deliberation,
fefl the prisoner guilty ut.both offences, and sentenced
Pier to 12 months Imprisonment. . . .
