PRIVATR CORIRSPONDENCI —The Russian have got
possession of Varna by the treachery of Jassoff, the
second in command in the fortress, who, with his troops.
laid down his arms, after having conducted the Russians
into the town in the night of the 10th of October. His
stratagem; and proceedings discouraged his soldier;
and the Capitan Pacha then found himself unable to'
prolong tht-contest. At least this is the manner in
Which the surrender of Varna is related here ; and the.
more confidence is placed in it, as the Observer itself
speaks of it in a very equivocal manner .t
The Austrian Observer of the 26. h gives the Russian
bulletin of the 11th of October.
FLORENCR, Oct. 16.
The disputes between Naples and Tripoli have as-
sumed a very serious character, and the Governmentof •
Naples will have some difficulty in getting out of them
with honour. It is making great armaments, but it
must have a new loan, and a negociation with the cos-
mopolite bankers is already spoken of. We are very
attentive to the frof
111-41.T1 the East. We de not undo-
stand the little success of the Russian arms, or what
advantage the Emperor Nicholas thinks to derive from
the blockade of the Dardanelles. This measure would
be a serious injury to the inhabitants of Leghorn, and
of all the ports of Italy. It is said that several com-
mercial houses desire to fit out privateers in the southern
ports of Italy. and that they have applied (Willer pur-
pose
to the Russian Minister at Naples.

The evacuation of the Motes by the Turkish and
Egyptian troops found in the fortresses is pt.( bably
effected by this time. A vessel which has lately arrived
at Marseilles brings word, that having put into Corms
on the 10th of October, it saw five ships with Ottoman
troops on board leave that port.
It is affirmed ;bat a corps of Greek troops is being
organised in the Morea, to consirt of 4,000 regular in-
fantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and six companies of
artillery.
The Duke de Mortemart, who left the Russian head-
quarters immediately after the taking of Varna, will
shortly arrive at Paris.
Count Neipperg, Grand Master of the Household to
the Archduchess Maria Louisa, who was brought •to
Turin in a very alarming state, was at the last extremity
at the departure of the last post.
Letters from Malts announced -that the Tripolitan
Corsairs have taken seven Neapolitan prizes ; they have
been put under seal by the English Consul, awl fin' the
present confided to his care. The crews of four of the
prises have been brought to Malta; on board a Mitch
ship.
The Cours Autheutigne of Xuesda.y. has not comp. rirr-- •

FROM THIP. JOURSAL HIS DRIATIS
PARIS, Nov. 4.
When the German Journals exaggerated the reverses
of the Russian army, some persons, supposing—incor-
rectly, however—that there was a close connection be-
tween our expedition to the Morea and the Russian in:
vasi,n, regretted those reverses, as if they exposed este
danger. The capture of Varna must have dissipated
these fears; but it is not useless to show that our expe-
dition, being independent of Russian invasion, we have'
nothing to dd with the rever.es anti victories of the
Russians. We have not landed in the blorea to assist
the Russians, but to execute the Treaty of London, and
the successes or reverses on the Danube will not alter
our intervention in favour of Greece. Is it expected
that Turkey will send her victorious Spahis into Greece?
This is vain. The Spahis will remain where the wan is.
and the Turks will cot leave the Balkan to recapture
Patrss or Coron. After depreciating their forces% too
Imuch, six months ago, we are how magnifying theist
'beyond measure. They will find enough to do to con•
tend against the Russians, and they know they fight
for their exit•tence. In the Minea they only contend to
reduce a few revolted slaves to obedience. According
toour EurOpean idea', we suppose that a revolted pro.
,vince must be immediately subdued. !tut in Turkey
the revolt of a province gives no uneasiness. For a
hundred years no Sultan has, perhaps, passed through
a whole year in which full and entire obedie.pce has bees
paid to his power. Some Pada, either in the East oe
the West, bat always been in rebellion ; but the empire -
has still existed. The insurrection in Greece has, ac.
cordingly, never troubled the repose of the Seraglio.—.
If the Sultan had wished to destroy Greece, it must
now" be evident he could have done it. Reserving. his
forces for the wars of empires with empires, he left to
his Pachas this war against revolted slaves. He only
roused himself to act against Itussia. She is the old
enemy of the Musselmans—there is the danger. Russia
seems to point to ancient superstitions which announce
the downfall of the forkish power. We may cease to be
Uneasy; the Grand Vizier is not disposed to leave Thrace
for the Peloponessns.
The Russian Emperor requires victories to give him
the rights of seniority. The Russians are superstitious;
the Counsellors of the Emperor fear what they may say,
and to prevent unpleasant commentaries, victories are
necessary. To restore the glory of Russia in the eyes
of Europe, war is necessary. Should peace be talked
of this winter, it will most assuredly not be concluded.
except by the mediation of the European Power.. It
will be a peace asadeat a Congress, and that would
decide the fate of Greece. Peace or war, therefore,
our expedition has nothing to tear; and the deliverance
'of Greece. provided for by the Treaty of London, is
completed by the occupation of the Pelopoaessus by our
soldiers, and is henceforward secured. If war contioses,
' France has time to conclude without obstacles the de-
liverance of Greece—if peace is made, she wilFstipolate
in Treaties that deliverance she has solemnly-promised.
She will fulfil the engagements.shebas entered info in.
