The Austrian Obser•er of 18th, 19th, and 20th August, contains
no news from the seat of war, beyond the simple mention of the
arrival of tbe Emperor Nicholas at Odessa on the •tb.

BERLIN, Amuse U.

To compkte the accounts of the Russian operations Before
&bomb. we extract from a Russian Journal the following par-
ticulars--

" CAMP BEFORE SCHUMLA, Jacv 27.

" After the happy resuk of our operations on t►e 20tb, the Em-
peror ordered the rid corps to fortify the position t►at had just
been taken from the Turks. These works were completed with
extraordinary rapidity on the night of the 20th. On the fi u nor
two wings approached Schenk without meeting with tiny opposi-
tion. From the 22d to the 24th we prosecuted our operations, the
object of which was to invest the enemy more and more closely.—
'Every night we erect redoubts nearer to the camp of Schemata.
Hitherto we have net been interrupted in these works by attacks
or otherwise.

" Yesterday a division of heavy artillery and a battery of Congreve
rockets arrived from &allow. Hussein Paths occupies Schumla
wit► Pony or fifty thousand men ; but what incenses the strength
of his position is the circumstance that his entrenchments are this
time on all the heights, which were formerly neglected, and being
out of the town, entirely command it.
" General !Loth invested SUistria on the gist. The resistance
made by the enemy on this occasion caused hint considerable loss ;
and the Turks being driven into their works, lost on the very first
day the greater part of the vineyards which surrounded Silistria,
and which they fotmetly used to maintain their positions."

DANTZIC, Aug. 21.

In consequence of the very unfavourable accounts which we have
received from the neighbouring countries, and especially from Eng.
land and France, foe some weeks past, respecting the prospect of
the harvest, oar corn trade has become uncommonly brisk. For
several past days large orders have been received both from Rag-
land and France; and in consequence of the continued rains, and
the damage which the wheat la those pans, and in the whole i
country, Is likely to safer, there have been some speculations for
some amount. In consequence of this a great part of our stock
has been bought up, and is out of the market. As the rainy wen.'
titer still continues, and the accounts of the quality of the wheat'
that has been get In in this neighbourhood are onfavounbk, prices,
particularly of wheat and rye, have risen about thirty per cent. and
there is no doubt that If considerable orders should be received, a
further more rapid and considerable rise will take place than could
have been espected a short dme ago, as the stock of wheat in the
first band Is reduced to 7 or i,OOO lasts, that of rye to a few hun-
dred lasts, and as for barley, oats, and pease, there is none to be had.
To day the following prices have been paid—Wheat, high red,
400 to 43S Rosins per last of See bushels (Seidel); Red, uo to
700 florins; %feria' sorts, 390 to 330 Sarin& Rye, 135 to 900
tom. At these prices, however, very little at this moment is to

be bad; the fine desctiptiOns of wheat is partkular are scarce; the;
can be had only la small parcels: for wheat much higher prices are
asked than have yet been paid. It is remarkable that the last pur-
chases of Rye seem to bare been mach on &OA account. To
day 214 •arim have been paid let rye, sad 430 for best wheat.—

The arrivals of the French. German, and Dutch Papers has
greatly relieved Public anxiety in regard to the Kato of the affairs
in the East, and the reported great battles are now dwindling into
skirmishes, and there is no doubt, according to accounts from
Vienna, that the Turks are far more numerous than the Russians
at first imagined.

CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

We have net a feature in the Consol market worth observation.
Consols have been, during the morning, at 1171 for the Account,
alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing. A report is going
about, that there is a great deficiency in the Quarter's Revenue,
but we can assert, with some confidence, that in all the departments
of the Escise, the Revenue is most favourable: it is only the
Customs that falls short at present.

Letters from Frankfort, of a recent date, bring the Metalliques
at 94j, and state that it was generally expected that neguciations
would take place between the Russians and Turks.
