Eitract of a letter-[Font the Agent to Lloyd's at Cadis, dated
July 1, 1828;—" Part of the crew. of the brig Defensor de Pedro,
which was wrecked near the Cortadura, now confined in prison
here, have declared that they robbed the British barque Morning
Star off the bland of Ascension, and committed the horrible es-
cesseisvhich accompanied that act. It would appear from their
statement that they left Rio Janeiro-in November, for the coast of
Africa, for slaves; that while thek original Commander, Pedro
Mares de Sousa Sacramento, and, part of the crew were on shore,
the others took possession of and made off with the vessel, and
from the end of December or beginning of January they have been
pirates. They confess to having murdered the Captain, part of
the' crew, and the passengers whom they carried off frem the
Morning &ar. They " also confess to have robbed the.Suabury,
the New Prospect, and the Cessnock, also an American ship, off'
'the Island of Ascension, 'murdered all on board, and ' afterwards
burnt her. An Koglishrisan, who it is said is from Jerry. denies
every thing; nevertheless, one of the Portuguese declares that be
scuttled ;the Morning Star and killed one of the crew. The Tri-
bunal de Owe is at preient investigating this matter."

Basardjik,. which in all.probability will be the next.

they expect to -Meet' the divisions detached by the Go-
vernors of Silistria and of Schuinla, is a place of some
'commercial importance, and one of the principal cities
of Rumelia. It is situated on the river Marizza; the
ancient Hebrus, and this its position, as well as the
neighbouring forest's, will present some advantages for
the defence of the plice. If it were once in the pox-.
.session of the Russians, it is believed that little diffi-
culty would be found tin advancing to Varna, which
is a plate of great importance,. and which in former
wars used to be Consi.:ered as one of the kers of Con-
stailinople. It has an excellent harbour, and stip.
-plies the capital with provisions. The place derives its
strength from its position rather than from any con-
. liderable faitiicatibns.. The inhabitants, of whom
there are stated to be about 16,000, are Turks, G:eeks,
and Armenians. A Greek Metropolitan used to reside
intim city. Of the numerous battles which have been
fought in the neighbourhood of this place, the most
isem.ark'able was that in 1444, in which Vladislas, King
of Poland and-Hungary, was defeated by-Sultan Mitred
IL and lost •

•Mangala, in the district of Stlistria, one of the places
which the last bulletin states to have been taken by the
Russians, is called Tomiswar in Turkish, and is
generally consideied to be the identical Tomi, in which
the unfortunate Roman port wo doomed to send the
remainder of his days, among a horde of barbarians.
Inn the village of Gntschun, which is also reported to
hive been taken, peace was concluded between Russia
arid the Porte in 1774.
AAkintaffsan .who has long resided in Turkeyl;•an4'
the se-Curacy-1;1" whose means of information has
hitherto giveii much weight to his communications
lemon: that country,. repreients to his correspondent in
London the political posture of affairs there in a new
point of view. He says that the Sultan, being per-;
tectly satisfied that the Rassiani are not making war
against him for the acquisition of territory, is not sorry
to have an opportunity of• proving to his subjects the
inefficacy of their means of defence, and the absolute
necessity of their assisting in the consoldation of the
Nizantgedid system, which it has long been his most
anxious wish to establish, and against which he has
hitherto met with so many obstacles, from the aversion of
the Turks to its principles.. It seems, therefore, to be the'
intention of the Sultan to send against the Russians
as many hordes of irregular and undisciplied Asiatics
as he can collect, with the view of-convincing them by:
the defeat and dispersion which he expects they will
meet, of the impossibility of contending against a fo-
reign foe, whose Military system is organized on prin-.
ciples which.renders it irresistable when not opposed by
means precisely similar.
The hackney-coach and cabriolet owners ia Paris
have started an opposition to the omnibus. They have'
established coaches from distance to distance (in some
cases, we believe, nearly two miles) fob four persons, at
five sous each ; and cabrioletl/4 tat{ contain two persons,
at ten sous each. 4L 091 •• • •
