According to letters received this morning from
Amsterdam, dated the 20th of Oct. it was confidently
reported in that capital that the Russians had stormed
Varna—their loss upon this occasion is said to be im-
stens& All the funds on the Amsterdam Exchange'
were from t to 4 per cent. lower.

The following copies save been posted at Lloyd's
this morning

SMYRNA, Sarcomas IS.

His Majesty's ship Philotnel sailed on the 15th instant from
Greece for Corfu, with dispatches from Constantinople;conveying
the answer of the Porte, acceding to the mediation of England
and France for the settlement of Greece, bat rejecting that of
Runk.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Samsung 25.

The 13th inst. the Porte refused to give any more Firmans for the
Mack Sea, whatever might be the nation of the vessel applying, whe•
thee loaded or in ballast ; and although tiro or three got out subse-
quently with papers issued previoits to the order, one of them,
which by stress of weather was driven back into the Canal, has
not been allowed to put to sea again ; and it appeals likely that the
measure will be rigorously enforced, as long asAussia shall con-
tinue to prohibit the exportation of wheat. •

The Paris Papers received last night contain nothing
of interest. Under the head of Constantinople, Sept. 26,
we have the Turkish version of some of the late opera-
tions before the fortresses invested by the Russians
Their statement, which is in an official form, differs
altogether from thai-ef their of ponents. and announces
a series if successes on the part of the Turks, which ate
particularly detailed. It must be evident that the re
ports of neither of the contending parties can be relied
upon in their military exploits; but an approximation
may be made to the real state of facts, by comparing
their conaicting statements, and making the necessary
allowance from the exaggerations or. the suppressions
of each.

The GRANO SEIGNIOR Set but front Constantinople
on the 15th ultimo, for the purpose of joining the army,
on which occasion the Standard of the Prophet was
carried before him. Tbis intetesting ceremony Wok
place with the greatest order; and the departure of the
SIJI.TAN seemed to inspire a still greater degree of
Martial spirit in the capital.

liamburgh Papers to a late date came to hand last
night: they contain no farther official accounts from
the theatre of war, but a variety of reports and rumours:
The Turks ate said to have bcea attacked between
Widdin and Krajova, and to have experienced a signal'
defeat. This intelligence is given in a letter from
Vienna of the 10th instant, pretending to give the con-
Wits of dispatches recehed from Bucharest by the
French Ambassador; and ibe superiority of the Rus-
sians is accounted for by the arrival of reinforcements
to the army of General GEISMAR; but we have, never.
theless, some doubts of the correctness of the intelli
gene. and much mote cf the victory having been so
decisive as irrepre,ente(t.
The accounts from, Odessa speak of the ait having
been cooled by thunder storms, which has had a bene-
ficial effect on the health r,f the Russians.

At a late.hour this forenoon we received the Brussels
rapes of Wednesday. They contain the Speech of
his Majesty the King of HOLLAND, on opening the Ses-
sion of the States General, Of which we have given the
substance. The accounts from Odessa reach only to
the 29th ult. consequently contain no later advices from
the Russian armies than what we were in possession ol:

BRUSSELS, OCT. 20.

Tire Sessions of the States General bas been opened to-day by
We Majesty in person. The following is the substance of his Us-

jeity's Spiech :
His Majesty continues to receive proofs of friendship from all
Ftireign Powers.
" The measures preparatory to ;he execution of the Concordat
proceed in a satisfactory manner, and the Proclamation of the Bishop
appointed to the See of Namur, justifies the expectation of a similar
agreement for the other vacant Sees. The extension of oar relations
in the interest of our commerce and manufactures, and the arrange.,
mots which may the most effectually contribute to this end, con-
tinue to engage his Majesty's attention. Manufactures are tin-
proving, and commerce continue to prosper. The former.perhaps,
do net derive prosperity in so high a degree from the 10131iell whitis
gave k in former ages; the various establishments formed and
projected for the promotion of the latter, chiefly to insure the liberty
of importation and re-exportation by sea, promise to increase its
prosperity, especially if the merchants contribute, by modifying
ancient usages, conformably to the present state of the commercial
relations between nations.

" The internal situation of the kingdom, is in general utisfac
tow, and If the States of some provinces have endeavoured to ex-
tend the sphere of their attributions, the Klieg hopes that the inti-
nation made them by his Majesty's ender, on this infringement of
thj•rights which the Constitution gives exclusively to the Lesbia-
ns*. however, will prevent any similar deviation for the future.
