The charm i de.troyed; henceforward the Munn-
vite Colossus sill no longer terrify Europe.
After inmienst preparations, and long besitation,.the
Russians have not had the boldness to urge with 'vigour
a war of invasion, not the. prudence to make it a war
of po.iiions ; and they did not know the -enemy to
whom they allowed time for defence. They were in.
-capable of comprehending what a people could do who
are all soldiers, who are all armed, and who are aetna
ated by the combined feeling of desire of preservation,
fanaticism, and national hatred. They were not willing
to perceive that the indolence of the Turks in respect
to theGteeks proceeded as much from contempt as
from any other cause ; and that these barbarians well
knew how to employ modern arts in case of need, av
the same time preserving the advantages of ancleat
times, and the military institutions of feudal ages.
'The Russian army is at present without a line of ope-
retions ; its right is exposed; and if Varna is not taken,
if powerful reinforcements do not wive, a Meat may
be difficult for troops that are discouraged, oppressed
with sick and wounded, and pent up between the Da-
ibtibe and the Black Sea till they reach &ailow, Galata,
and Ismael.
The reinforcements arriving from Wallachia wilifor.
-ni.h gars bons for the forts of the Danube, which are
so many little armies ; and they will sciroely dare. to
pass this river, when, towards the west, 10,000 Bosnian*
have advaeced on Resipiz, when the Spahis of Sillstria
have driven a part of the troops which besieged it as
far as Kirhova, and when the Servians may be obliged
every moment to abandon a neutrality which has been
so beneficial to Russia. Should Varna still hold out,
the Imperial forces will in a little time be obliged to
raise the siege. The naval force, since the equinox,
cannot have been of great assistance, and the besiegingi
troops may be attacked in turn, by clouds of cavalry.
According to the latest advices; die-army of Scbsmla
was advancing; that of the Gland Vizier was at Kar-
nabat, and 15,,000 Curdish horsemen cleared thipaises

long ago.
The cossacks, or the Russian cavalry, which are in
wal,t of tot age, cannot stop these ti cops A single march ;
and very little time is required for them, with theist:,
celient horse-, to reach the walls of Varna. A wittier
campaign has been talked of; io discps the chances cf

would net open.
However little terrified by the threatening aspect of
the French troops in the Mores, he is greatly irritated
at this diversion in favour of the Itussiiurs, and our com-
merce will suffer thereby; in the mean time, he has
ordered his Pashas to march on Liradis, and it beH
comes necessary either to withdraw our small force or
to send outreiriforcerneuts. Weiearnestly hope that its,
glory and safety 'may run no risks in this expedition;
tag& we calculate, more upon our brave fleet thou .OR
.isot Ministers, including IL Hyde' e blenville. *. •
'The delay experienced for same days past in the ar-
rival of any direct intelligence from the theatre of war,
bas increased the anxiety created by the rumours in the
German Papers respecting the fate of the Russian army.
Thirty-three days have now lapsed since the last. bul-
letin from Schumla, and 29 since that from Yarn".

Authentic information proves to us the entire false-
hood of the news from Stockholm. published in several
journals, according to which 6.00 G Russians had made
themselves masters of the island of Aland, where acme
Russian gunboats are said also to have arrived. This
news is said to be contained in lettets from Stockholm,
dated the 26th of September. But letters from Stock-
holm of the 30th of September,which have been received
at Paris, authentically demonstrate the filseho.id of this
news. The friendly relations which unite the two Go-
vernments are too well known in Sweden for arrivals
of any kind in the Aland Islands to cause the least sen-
sation at Stockholm.
The Moniteur of to-day, the 17th, contains an official
repOrt Made to the King by M: Hyde deNeuville, en-
closing a report made by Captain de la Bretonniere, of
the destruction of four Algerine corsairs in the bay of
Tunettachica, three leagues west of Algiers, on the Ist

to quality the allusion on the present occasion, a placard
was attached to the breast of the figure, on which was
inscribed the word it Constitution."
In the evening mole than 500 Royalist volunteers at-

was present), and between the acts kept up a constant
shout of " Long live the man who shall put an end to
