IdERMANNSTADT, JULY IS.

Within these few days we have had so many, but such conflicting
and vague accounts from the theatre of war, that it is impossible to
obtain any clear ideas from them. The positions of the respective
armies are so imperfectly known here, that it is the most prudent
to wait foe official information, which, however, is very slow in
reaching us. As the Russian Headquarters was at Karam, on the
6th. we may however infer that some important event will soon
take place.
In consequence of the great beat, the plague continues to spread
in the Principalities, and it is not impossible that the greater part of
the Russian troops stationed in them, may he ordered to retire be-
yond the Pruth, and one line of communication fur the army in
Bulgaria, viz. that through Bessarabia be retained.
FROM THE FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JULY 17.

According to accosnu • from Bucharest, the plague has spread
very considerably in the last fortnight, and M. Von Stourdza him-
self had been induced to leave the city, and remove to a country
house in the neighbouthoed. It was even reported dot the Russian
troops would be withdrawn from the principalities. The Russian
Privy Cotinsenor Von Bulgaria, bad arrived at Bucharest, and in.
tended to go to Count Cape d'lstria, as Russian Plenipotentiary in
Greece.

BERLIN, JULY 22.

His Majesty's Order of the Day respecting duelling, has excited
a great sensation, not only in the army, but among the public in
general. They admire the dignified sentiments of this document,
written by his Majesty himself. Where such principles prevail,
the happiness of the people is built on a solid foundation. It is not
indeed expected that this Cabinet Order will put an entire stop to
the abuse, but it is hoped there will be fewer duels from trifling
causes.

Among us, as in other places, there are partizans of Don Pedro
and of Don Miguel. M. Bayard, Secretary to the Portuguese Le-
gation here. has presented to Count Bernstoff, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, a note, in which he declares Count L►bo de Oriole
the Amabassador at this Court, to be a partizan and advocate of
Don Miguel. He has therefore, he says, broken off all connection
with hint, and considers it as bis duty, as a subject of Don Pedro,
to inform the Minister of it.—.Atorwteistr Zeinosg, August 1.
