ST. PETERSBURGH, Mc 6.

The Jeernol 1 St. &kr:burgh contains a letter from Captain
J. H. A'Cuurt to Count Nesselrode, in which he positively con
Maim the report (which he had seen in some French Parrs)
that the Foreign Ministers who embarked at Varna on board the
rantekimon bad been in imminent danger during a tempest, chiefly
in consequence of the unskilfulness of the Captain, and that they
owed their safety to Captain A'Cuurt, who took on him the manage-
ment of the skip.
All this he says is mere fiction ; the ship was in no danger, and
the Captain did every thing that the most skilful Officer could have
done fur the safety of the ship. In consequence the Captain ex•
presses his admiration of the excellent state of the Black S:a fleet,
and the discipline of the crews.

BUCHAREST, Nov. 27.

The corps of General Roth, who has the chief command of the
Russian troops on the right bank of the Danube; consists of Ili
divisions of infantry, one division of cavalry, four regiments of
Cossacks, three battalions of pioneers, and a numerous train of
artillery. The head quarters are at Varna. The left wing stands
beyond Paravadi, the right occupies Czernlvode, behind Train's-
Wall. We were long ignorant where the Grand Vizier was with
his army; we now know that he is at Adrianople, and is said to
be preparing to march against Yarns.
Letters from Hirsova of 19th Nov. say, that General Geismar
continues to bombard Widdin. The Russians are crossing to the
left bank of the Danube, where they intend to begin the blockade
of New Hirsova. If the weather does not become mote rigorous
Widdin may be besieged, but if it should be more severe, the
Danube may be so frozen u to interrupt the communication, and
prevent the seeding of supplies to the right bank, as bas beta the
ease at Biihtria.—Drtcl► I,7pers, Dec. 24.

RECEIVED BY THE WRENCH MAIL THIS MORNING.
They write from Odessa of the 20th ult. that General Poi/.
maw, Contractor-General to tbe Russian army. having been ac-

cased of dinpidations, in consequence of which the Russian army
became destitute of subsistence, the Emperor NICHOLAS imme-
diately ordered an inquiry to be made, the 'result of which was
unfavourable to the General, and he was sentenced to die, which
sentence was.put into ercution before the Emrsaos kit OJena
fur St. Petersburgh. It Is remarked that no Foreign Journal ar-
rived at Paris has made any mention of this fact.

CITY, Twacte o'CLocic.

This being a holiday both at the Bank, Stock Ezehange, and
Foreign market, the Braker, and Jobbers have assitubled on the
Royal &chant ; but the business doing at present is not worth
tnesittenifig, and Consols may be quoted at 87 j for the Account.

CITY. HALF.PAST ONIZO'CLOCK.

We have a very thin attendance of Broken and Speculators on
the 'loyal Exchange, and the business doing is of very minor im-
portance. Consols are not of that animated dlscription when
they left off on Wednesday, as they may be quoted at 871, alter-
' nately buyers and water*. This dullness in the market may be
attributed to the report that Lord llityvasauay is g... .1 ag to Leiuel.
from Bt. Petersburgh ; but this assertion is not correct, and the
well informed in the City do not give it the least credit.

inst. brings—gold 102 j, which is higher. The Exchange 13 marks,
