FROM THE NEW TIMES.

The appointment of Sir G. blussay to the Colonial Department
is the only one which has yet been completed. The other arrange-
ments, however, remain unaltered, and will probably be all carried
into effect as we stated yesterday. The Duke of WILLINQTON will
now have to supply an additional vacancy, Lord F. L. GOWEn
having resigned his situation since our last. But this will not inflict
much trouble upon his Grace, and indeed if the multiplicity of re-
signations with which he has lately been assailed be intended to
try his resolution and to turn him from the straight-forward course
which be pursues, the object will be defeated. The Noble Duke
is a deeper Statesman than people generally imagine in England.
We say in England, because the blaze of his military glory has
concealed from the eyes of his fellow-citizens the qualities of which
they have not hitherto witnessed the practical exercise. But ask
those countries which have been the seat of his triumphs, and they
will tell you, that whilst he regained or upheld their liberty by the
sword, he remoulded their Governments, amended their Constitu-
tions, embodied their resources, and superintended the administra-
tion of their affairs, in a manner which secured to them all the ad-
vantages which it was impossible to enjoy amidst the dangers and
horrors of war. It is only in this country that his Grace's admi-
nistrative talents have been doubted, because he had never yet had
an opportunity of displaying their extent. Events, as they proceed,
now reveal them ; and the more they are tasked, the more will they
be found to rise, till the full magnitude of their proportions be de-
veloped, and his Grace's reputation and successes as a Minister do
that which no other reputation or successes could achieve—equal
his military fame.
The panic Which rev:vied at Vienna when the first
news of the Declaration of War of Russia against the
Porte arrived there, has, according to letters of the 18th,
entirely subsided, since it had been ascertained that the
peace of the rest of Europe will not be disturbed by
that event. The crossing of the Pruth accordingly did
not cause the slightest decline in the Austrian funds, as
was also the case in our own market. It may be con-
sidered as a remarkable feature in the present transac-
tions of the European money-market, that notwith-
standing the gloomy aspect of the political horizon for
the last three months, the public funds, instead of de-
clining, showed here, as well as in other places of the
Continent, rather a tendency to rise, baffling all expe-
rience which former times afforded to the speculator.

According to the Algemeine Zeitung, received this
morning, the first engagement between the Russian and
Turkish cavalry took place near the town of Gallacz,
which terminated in the retreat of the latter towards
Braila. Gallacz was reported to have been burnt down
by the Turks themselves, in order to deprive the
enemy of any resources which the town might afford
him. It is not improbable that the Turks will con-
tinue this system of defence. They know that the
burning of Moscow greatly contributed to save
the Russian Empire, when invaded by an immense
army. It is stated from Smyrna, that the entire
island of Scio is again under the dominion of the
Turkish Governor, Jinni,. :Parma, who. seems not
to be lax in his zeal of reconciling to himself the good
will of the few Great families that had returned from
the mountains, by offering them the greatest security of
their property and possessions. We subjoin the fol-
lowing menu from the German Papers which we have
referred tox
BItRMANSTADT, May tr.
We have received the news that a Turkish light corps
had shown itself near Gallacz (but it was not known
whether it came from the other bank of the Danube or
krona Braila); that a division of .Russian cavalry had
defeated this corps, after a short engagement, which
had then retreated across the Suet towards Brzila,where
there is a Turkish garrison. It is reported that Gallacz
was burnt down on this occasicas, the Turks themselves
having set fire to one of the sabotits.—Algemeine Zei•
lung, May 2S.

We have the following accounts from Scio of the
15th instant:—On the 26th of March the Sakit Emini
(Receiver of Taxes in the mastic villages), the same who
saved the life of Colonel Fabvier on the landing of the
Greeks, arrived in the kdand from Tschesme, and im
mediately went to the mastic villages. As he is
much beloved by the inhabitants of those villages,
on account of his mildness and justice, most of
those who bad fled to the mountains imme•
dimly came down and presented themselves to
him; they were kindly received, and immediately put

ut possession of their howes. On the 6,11 two vesse,
came from Samos with above 100 of the inhabitants'
of those villages, who wished to return home. One-of
them landed and waited 9n the Sakis Emini, by whom
he was sent to Jussuf Pacha, the Governor of the
Island, who received him in a friendly manner, and
told him to bring his companions on shore, where they
might Like possession of their property without
hindrance. The number of the Sciotes who have re-
turned in this manner since the evacuation of the island
by the Greeks, may be about 300.
The Pacha is Liking great pains to supply the fort
with provisions, and has had ovens built, which were
wanting during the last siege. Pet fect order is main
tained in the island. The Catholics and the few Greeks
who have returned find all the protection they can wish
from the Pacha. The garrison consists at present of
1,500 regular troops, and 5.000 irregulars, who will
soon go back to Tschesme. Two Russian ships, laden
with corn, have arrived in the port of Scio, and sold
their cargoes to the Pacha, who paid for them in ready
money.—Courier de Smyrne, April 19.
