FRANKFORT, Nov. IN.

We may now consider the report of the taking of Mori& by the
Russians on the 26th October as false, though the Jeurnel tie
Franifore a few days ago announced it as official ; at least nothing
farther has since been heard of ft. A circumstance that at first
seemed to throw a doubt on its truth was, that it was said that
Prince Scherbatoff bad the chief command when the place was
taken, whereas a letter front Bucharest of 27th October (on which
day the taking of Silistria might possibly have been known if it had
occurred the day before) says, that Prince Schrrbatoff had been
obliged to leave the army by severe illness, and that Count Lan-
gerpa had left Bucharest to take the command of the beriegingeurps.
PETERSBUROiI. itiOvntata 10.

His Majesty the Emperor was pleased to address the, following
rescript to Prince Islensikoff on the 13th of October—
" Prince Alexander Sergueievitsch ! The siege of Varna, which
yeti commenced and directed with equal Grnmess and prudence,
has just been happily terminated. It was by following the plan
which you laid down that our troops have subdued that fortress,
which was never before conquered. The severe wound which you
received ire the midst orrput exploits did not allow you to be wit-
ness of the success which you bad prepared. But I am equally
sensible of the share which is justly dee eo you in the fresh glory
acquired by the Rotaian arms, ant I male you ir present of oast of
the cannon taken in Varna, dtalrttrig that this mask of my espesi4l

regard shall be a memorial of the service you have performed
during the siege of Varna, and which led to the taking of that
fortress. I am, &c.

We received last night the Paris Papers rf Tuesday
and Wednesday ; also Ilamhurgh Papers of a late date.
The contents of the former men(' very little importance.
According to the last advice, it should seem as if the.
Russians meditated no further military operations of
any consequence for the present season; and that they
content themselves for the present with preparing for
the next year a line of operations to extend horn Varna
to Silistria, by way ► f Bazardjik, for which purpose they
are fortifying the latter place. In the meantime, the
GRAND VIZIER is said to have taken up a position
betwten Schumlaj and Pravadi. It is stated in the
Hambu►gh Papers that a division i f the French
troops in the Morea have commenced their march for
Athens. The SULTAN having refused, in any way
to treat on the subjt•ct, the Ambassadors will, it is said,
immediately proceed to 6x the boundaries of Greece
with.-ut his concurrence. General Passicawrescu re-
turned to Tiflis on the 17th of October. and the cam•

six fortresses, and two castles, are described as the fruits
of it.

thirty and forty years of age, seereted herself inside the
prenthes in Milne-square occupied by the Equitable
Loan Company, at the time the warehouse was locked

o'clock, having in the interval forced open a desk, and
possess d 4541. in silver, a watch, half a dozen
of silver tea-spoons, and one or two other articles of no
great value. After having been locked up f r more
than thirty hours, she attempted to effect her escape by
lowering herself with a tope from a window on the
fourth or fifth floor, into Bull's Close; but whether the
rope broke, or whether she had miscalculated the height
from which she had to descend—and from the circum-
stance of her having lengthened the rope by tying
several piece, of twine to it, this is the mere likely—
she fell about twenty or thirty feet, and broke her back
in more places than ne. The noise occasioned by her
fall brought the watchman to the spot, w ben the break.
ing out was discovered, and the money found scattered
about the place. The unhappy woman was subsequently
