Two Mails arrived this morning from Anholt and
Heligoland. The passengers from these places concur
in stating, that a War between Russia and France is
expected to break out every day, and that the first
blow will be struck in Prussia, where the French
troops are said to be already in motions The chief
contents of the Journals brought by the above Mails,
as will be seen by our extracts, relate to the opera-
tions of the Turks and Russians. The following ar-
ticle from Heligoland, however, still tends to keep
up the expectation of an immediate Continental war t
I-TELTGOLAND, SEPTEMBER 20.

We had•this day an arrival from the Coast, but no
news of importance. There ate no troops of the line
on the coast, having been all marched for the Inte-
rior, and the charge of preventing all intercourse with
the same left to the care of the marines and doua-
niers, who are equally rigid and strict as the regular
troops in preventing all communication. A Russian
war instill talked of at Hambro, but the grounds for
the prevailing opinion are not specifically stated.—
The conscription has been enforced with great seve-
rity, from which district no less than from three to
4000 have been required, the greater proportion of
which for the navy. The agricultural as well as the
tomtnercial state of the Continent, we are informed,
is in a Most deplorable condition. In consequence
6f the low price of grain, it will not pay the expence
of reaping, and in some places is left to rot in the
fields. In Holstein and Friesland, rye is at the low
price of 10s. per quarter, and wheat and other grain
proportionably low. The persons who have come
over here have led at the risk of their lives to avoid
the conscription, all intercourse being still prohibited
Ender pain of death.
HERMANSTADT, AUGUST 5.

The Turks have formed consiiierable magazines at
Nicopolis, from whence they fire upon the fortress of
Turno. Their artillery is so well served, and they
know how to point it with so mach dexterity, that
one cannot but be surprised at the progress which
they have made in this part of the military art.
PRESBURGH, AUGUST IL

One cannot receive with too great distrust the news
feceived from the frontiers of Turkey, as the different
accounts are at complete variance with each other.
Some private letters, and even some public papers,
are not Content with making the Tnrks occupy all
the strong places on the right of the Danube, hut
they have made them pass this river to undertake ex.
cursions into the heart of Wallachia, in the rear of
the Russian army. The only fact that appears to be
well authenticated here, is, that since the battle of
Rud,chnck the. Grand Vizier has remained very tran-
g•iil, whilst General Kutosow makes preparations
which seem to indicate rather an intention of carrying
en a defensive than an offensive campaign.
VIENNA, AUGUST la.
According to letters from Constantinople, the Cap.
tain Pasha has given up the inspection of the Darda-
nelles to Bastangi Pasha. The Grand Seignior em-
pl.y.; himself much at present in the affairs of Go-
vernment. The place of Secretary of State is still
vacant. The army of the Grand Vizier remains for-
tified. The fleet is stationed at the mouth of the
Busphorus ; k is said th it it has but few troops on
board, and it is even doubted whether it will this year
enter the Black Sea. Some armed boats, in truth,
erdeavoured to sail up the Danube, but they retired
viten the Russians left that river. Many large Tur-
kkh detachments have passed the Danube and burned
th^ villagt s through which they marched on the left
bf the river.

EXTRACT OT A LETTER FROM AMSTERDAM.
Aunt ST 31.—The different preparations which at
present are making, appear to give us reason to be
certain that we will shortly enjoy the happiness of
seeing within our walls his Imperial Majesty.

SEMIJN, AUGUST R.
The Turks have begun to rebuild the fortifications
el Rudschuck which the Russians precipitately de-
strayed. Such of the inhabitants of that town as are
"Mahomedans, manifest a disposition to rebuild their
houses which were burnt ; in regard to the Meeks,
ikey have for the greater part been transported to,the
left bank of the Danube.
It is very probable that, before the end of this cam.'
paign, there still will be very interesting events be
tween the two armies, for the Grand Vizier is active,
full of fire, and in the prime of his age.
The Russian General in Chief passed several days
et Bucharest, and afterwards returned to Giurgewo,
where, since he repassed the Danube, he has estab-
lished his head-quarters.
This place has been put in the best possible state
of defence. They are hastily erecting new works in
front of the fortress.
According to the new organization of the Russian
army, it is divided ,ipto four grand corps d'aruzEL., of,
