This d.i:

We have this day received important news from the
theatre of war, by way of St. Petersburgh. The account
being a Russian one, must be received with necessary
caution ; but that another general engagement has
taken place et Paravadi is certain.
At St. Petersburg)), on the 10th of June, detailed
accounts wen received of a victorious engagement near
Paravadi, in which the GRAND Vratita, at the head of
numerous troops, was defeated by General Rout. Ge-
neral ROTH remained master of the field of battle, and
took 400 pair of colours, which General Drumm' has
sent to the Emperor. The Turks left above 9000 killed
and a great number of horses on the field. The deter-
mination and valour with which both sides fought was
such, that only one mullah and 45 men were taken pri-
soners. The loss of the Russians was 486 men, IS
Officers, one Staff Officer, and Major General UNDID
killed ; and one Colonel, two Lieutenant Colonels, two
Staff Officers. 26 Officers, and 596 privates wounded.
Since Silistria was invested nothing of importance
has occurred there. In a trifling sally of the Turks,
General Prince Paosonowszt was killed by a cannon
ball. Some new batteries have been erected, and the
bridge over the great arm of the Danube is completed ;
and the Russian communication over the small arm of
the Danube, is said to be maintaiaard by rafts. Lieut.-
General Kama has opened the road from Silistria to
Schumla, and on the 19th of May opened a com-
munication with the corps s f General ROTII.
He sends the authentic intelligence thdt the GRAND
Vain, confounded at the heroic-resistance of so small
a corps, bad retreated to Schumla. The Turkish fleet
consisted of five ships of the line, one frigate. and four
corvettes; of which one ship of the line, two frigates,
and one corvette, put out to sea on the 18th of May,
and chased one of the Russian cruisers withr•ut success
for ten miles. These Russian cruisers ate said ti) have
captured sin merchantmen, notwithstanding the vigor-
ous resistance of the crews, and of the inhabitants of the
coast, in the bay of Keepen, and destroyed eight others
off port Schtll.

There are letters in town this morning from Vienne,
dated the 11 th ; but in these we have no account of
the desperate engagement spoken of above—the news
of whict was conveyed by the steam boat to Lubeck.
The Vienna letter s set forth that, during the hot months,
the Russians were expected to confine themselves to the
siege of SU:ilia and Giu►geivo, and that not till Sep-
tember were the grand offensive operations expected to
take place. It is adJed, that immense reinforcements
were joining the Russians from the interior ; and that
the army is shortly to be reviewed by the Emperor in
person. From the Frontiers of Turkey accounts have
also been received this day, in which it is admitted that
a considerable landing had been threatened by the Rus-
sians at Trebisonde, to destroy the arsenal of that place;
and that the Turks along the coast were kept in con-
tinual fear.

If we are to believe the accounts in the Brussels and
German Papers, inserted in our first page, the Greeks
have at last recaptured the important fortress of Miss*.
longhi. These is a deep interest about the fate of this
place, for many reasons; and the carnage which has
taken place in attacking and defending it, shows that
much importance has invariably been attached to its pos-
session by either. and both of the contending parties. It
was first taken from the Turks in 1821, and defended,
in the following year, by Prince MAVROCOADATO,
against a large Turkish force, which had finally been
obliged to raise the siege, and retreat in disorder.
In twelve months afterwards, it became the seat of
Government for Western Greece. and received within
its walls that martyr of tha Greek cause, our illus-
trious countryman, Lotd Bynon, who conferred upon
it a melancholy interest by his death in the Spring of
1824. Some months after his Lordship's death, the

siege of the fortress was renewed by the Tusks,
who assembled round its walls a large force% from Al-
bania; but the Greeks defended it till the beginning of
1826, when the Mussulmen were reinforced by a strong,
body of Egyptians under laaAlllll. Since that time it has
remained in the possession of the Turks till the date of the
present news; and should the Greeks now succeed in
recapturing Athens, they will be in possession of nearly
the whole territory within the boundary line of Volo and
Arta, described in the Protocol of the Allied Powers,
published last week.

American Papers to the 24th Ult. were received
lyesterday, in which mention is made of the death of
Governor JAY, in the 84th year of his age. Mr.
MARIBOII is now the sole 'waiving Member of the
Convention and Legislature which formed the Constitu-
tion of the United States in 1777. The Washington
Journals inform us that the University of Lexington
was entirely destroyed by fire on she 9th of M 47.—
The servant employed by the Institution, who was
engaged in the upper part of the building in blacking
shoes, fell asleep, and it is supposed the fire was
communicated from a candle he left burning. The
Journal of Commerce states that, " Mr. Wit.ox, the
Gentleman who was dispatched to the United Statesl
with necessary documents fcr the arrest of Ilowt.atin
Sraestanion, had received orders horn the COMM ...I
sinners of Bankruptcy in Lqndon not to pursue the
fugitive any farther; they being convinced tie hid i o
property with him. The £l,OOO reward bad been re-
called, and all proceedings against him arrested, exceptl
those at the instance of the Ex-Sheriff PA arms."

We have the folloaing heart-rending details of the
traffic io Slaves in a letter from Rio Janeiro this day:
"Forty thousand slaves, men, women, and childreo
were imported ii,to Rio during the year 1828. A few
days ago a brig arrived from the coast: she had on
board 480 slaves. Previous to her arrival, and during
the passage, there were consigned to the deep 184 of
these unhappy creature>: most of them died for want
of room and air, as they were literally wedged in the
vessel."—Erom Porto Rico we learn that accounts had
been received at St. Thomas's, by an arrival there from
Africa, that SO sail of Guineamen, of different nations,
had been taken by the British cruisers on that station.

The Paris Papers of Friday last state, tb.t M. de
CHATIAVIIRIANDp since his return from Home, has
taken his old place in the Chamber of Peers, and is now
seated on the same bench with Baotruz, NA AANTS.
HOLZ, PASQUIER, &c. The Chamber of Deputies was
still occupied in schemes of finance and retrenchment,
and seem determined to circumscribe the expenditure
of the nation within the lowest possible

The following are extracts from the Papers brought
in by the Dutch Mail this day. The .sore Mail brought
likewise the important news from St. PeLersburgh which
we have elsewhere noticed.

Above 40 ships from Sloops alone are said to have reached their
destination. The Caritas Pasha's expedition seems, therefore, to
have been expressly designed to suspend the blockade, and relieve
the want of cora felt at Constantinople, and coincides with the
orders sent to the Pachu in Natalia to forward their corn by sea to
the Capital; It is known, however, that several mere/seamen have
been captured by Admiral Greig.
