Sif.ISTRIA, JUNE If 2.
Varna has made proposals of capitulation. The
Grand Vizier-has solicited an armistice fi:r two days.
• BUCHAREST, JUNE 1.2.
• The Russian army draws its means of subsistence
from the Black Sea. There are GO vessels on the Da-
nube hien with a supply of provisions for 70 days,
reckoning from the 16,11 tilt. Before the expiration
of that term Varna will have fallen, and there will
then be less difficulty in victualling the army, which
now amounts to 100,000 men. The Turkish army
suffers greatly from want of provisions.
We hear that Aidin Pacha, the Commandant ofl
Giurgewo, who is at variance with Bekniak Pacha,
the Commandant of Rndschuk, has sheen a di.posi.
fion to join the Russians, and hopes are entertained
of the fall of both these fortresses, the communica-
tions of which have been cut off by General Sass.—
, There will then only remain the fortress of Widdin,
the Governor of which, Molla Paella, has no great
reputation for intrepidity.
1 The garrison of Silistria has been allowed to with-
draw unmolested, with their amts and baggat,e. The
1 kussian,advanced guard, immediately after the eva-
icuation, marched against Schumla, and was to be
followed by the rest of the army. General SASS has
received orders to march against Rudschuk, few the
purpose oiredueing that fortress, and of apaoying the
Grand Vizier's right flank.

Princesserviee, came in reeling against the chairs and
asked witness the hour ; and ou being told, he opened
the shutters of the hall, and asked witnessif he could
get the Prince's clnaths to be brushed, andsaid some-
thing about a review that morning. Witness informed
rrantcr it was too soon tnget thecloatlis, as the Prince's

out at the hall-door. Witness went to the p.,rter's lodge,
and on his return, in Arun ten minutes, he sawTranter
sitting in one corner of the footman's room weltering
in his blood; he enquired' the cause of it, but the
former did not answer him. Witness gave an alarm
to a cook, ard to Serjeant Wright, a night porter at
the lodge; before ight and witness got back to
Lie deceased they heard the report of a pistol, and on
entering the room, Trantcr had moved, and was then
sitting in, the middle of the room—his coat, waistcoat,
and cravat were off, and his shirt was on fire, as was
also his waistcoat, which was lying nn an adjoining ta.
ble, and there was a pistol smnaklng under the cravat.
Wright asked Tranter what was the twt• ter, and who
had hurt him ? The former replied that he had d 'se

Witness taw the deceased come in at twelve, and go
out again at one, on Tuesday morning. He talked
with him some time, and he appeared rather wild,
and went off in a great hurry. He was accustomed
to drink very freely, and. witness could not account
in any other way for his rash conduct. Two pistols
were found in the room.
14r. Phillips, a Surgeon, proved that the deceased
bad met his death .by two pistol-balls, one of which
had entered the breast, and he conceived must have
lodged in the back bone, and the other, which had
entered on the left side, must have lodged in the
lungs.
To prove a kind of derangement, three witnesses
appeared, one of whom, the Prince's Chairman, G.
, Bowring, stated, that the deceased had been much
altered for some time, and that about ten days ago
he expressed much anxiety at being obliged to drop
the acquaintance of a Jewess in the City, in conse-
quence of religion preventing their union. Witness,
who was in great confidence with him, jocosely asked
hien how he would get rid of three other lasses, and
he expressed great uneasiness. Two or three days
ago the deceased informed the witness that he bad
quarrelled with himself, and lie had agreed to make
it up with himself by a treat of a glass of ale ; and,
after running on wildly, he observed, that the best
way to rid himself of his troubles would be to clap a
pistol to his head, as one thing and another distracted
him.
Mr. Rymer,. and another witness, also spoke of a
material alteration in the deceased for S monthspast.
The Conoseit left it entirely to the Jury to weigh
the evidence ; and they returned a verdict of Lunacy.
The deceased was 40 years of age:
Another Inquest was held, by the same Coroner,
at the Griffin 040 e-house, in Villiers-street, Adelphi,
on the body of a young woman, eighteen.years of age,
panted Leah Wall, who was drowned by falling into a
«•.+t ^r. tub, at a house, No. 16, llnke.street, Adelphi.
The Jury were a long time in examining the pre-
mises. The tub in which she fell was sunk in the
back yard, and the deceased was in she }titbit of filling
it. On Tuesday night she was.missed for above half
an hour on search being made, she was discovered
in the tub, •ihich is may three feet deep. Her head
was downwards. On being taken out, there was not
any sign of life. Medical assistance was immediately
procured, but it was too late. The Jury returned a
verdict of Accidental Death.

• ST. PFTERSBritcli, JUNE 25.
The following reports have been teceived from the
General of Infantry, Count Kaminsky, Commander
its Chief of our army in Moldavia :
6, After taking Mangala an attempt was made on
Kowarna. The enemy was driven into the town, and
a Bairacter and '22 privates made prisoners The Se-
raskier Peglnwan attempted to retake Mangalas but
was repulsed ; he then retreated in the utmost haste
to Bazardoktik. The corps of General Kaminsky
marched on the 18th of May to Bath kin, but his ad-
vanced guard was at Kusgun. The next slay the
corps of Lieutenant Generals Count Langeron, Essen,
Markow; and Lewis also Advanced from Karassa.—
Facing our entrenchments, on the Island of Olimar,
the Turks began to raise batteries. On the '2Bth ofii
April Major. General Slicer carried a redoubt be-
longing to • the enemy, on an island opposite to Silis.l
tria. The Turks, water cover of a violent fire from
the fortress, attempted to retake it, but were repulsed
by our chasseurs. This island is still occupied by one
of our detachments. On the 19th May Lieutenant
General Sass passed the Danube in boats, and occu-
pied Startukay. On this occasion five tannons of
metal, and two of iron were taken from the enemy.—
Our loss consisted of ten men only.
" The Commander in Chief of the army is before,
Silistria, and intends to invest this fortress from All
sides on the 2:id of Mry. We then obtain a safe
communication with the corps of Isieutenant.General
Jass, and a considerable corps takes its direction to
Schitizala. Lieutenant-General Markow joined Lien-',
tenant-General Kaminsky in the neighbourhood of
Itazardshik, in consequence of which the Seraskierl
Pegliwan will be attacked without delay.
Lieutenant-General Count Kaminsky attacked
the fortress of Bazardshik, in which there was a Tur-,
kish corps of 10,000 mein, anti took it by storm. The'
celebrated Seraskier Pegliwan, with all the officers,
and troops that remained, 1500 in number, were
taken prisoners ; standards and several pieces acan-1
non were taken. The loss we 'sustained in this action'
is, Gon be thanked, not very great.
• The Seraskier's standard and his staff' of com-
mand arc already here.
• The report in full on this important victory will
soon be sent. Silistria has been invested without any
great resistance on the part of the enemy. The Com-
mander in Chief has advanced in person against the
