FRENCH PAPE:

ODESSA, Ava.-tr: •
On the 2d the Emperor marched from b'trre
flebspraa;with the regiment of horse-chasseurs that bears
his haine:42 pieces of Cossack artillery, two squadrons
a..d two battalionsof the 19. h loot chas-
seurs. • His Majesty took the riiad of Jenibazar, and
encamped the same evening hef Coslandgi.
On the 3d, the troops of which his escort wai com-
posed had a day itt test.
On the 4th, his Majesty continued hii march towards
Varna, and slept in a redoubt.constructed at a short
Varna,
from .the village of Derbentkieni. On his ar•
rival, the Emperor received intelligence of an important
advantage just gained by the Aide-de-Camp General
Prince pelizikow (recendy charged with the siege of
Varna) over the garrison ef that place.
Several Turkish detachments had succeeded in pene.
Crating into it by the Bourgas road, which the Aide-de-
Camp General Count de Suchtelen had not been able
to intercept, as it was separated from the positions
mhickhe occupied by the great lake of Dwina, whose
waters'almost touch the south-west part of the fortifi-
cations of Varna. A corps of regular troops arrived by
land from Constantinople. under the command, it was
said, of the Capitan Pacha, had. also been observed.
With the aid of these reinforcements, the garrison had
become too aumerous to allow Lieutenant-General Ou-
chakoff, who succeeded Count Suchtelen, to continue
the blockade of the fortress. He therefore wisely con-
tented himself with observing it at a certain distance,
after an action, in which the Tito ks were repulsed with
loss. Meanwhile, we also reinforced the corps before
Varna ; but when Prince .ienzikow assumed the com-
mand, the enemy occupied, at four wersts in advance of
the town, and with the double view of defending its
approaches and preventing the landing of our troops
returning from the siege of Matta, a,chaiti of wooded
beights which extended to the sea,• and which he had
garnished with artillery, cavalry, and sharpshooters.
Notwithstanding the advantages which this position
gave the Turks. Prince Menzikow resolved to
.attack
them. By a skilful ma: movie, he turned their left on
the 3d, and whilst his artillery, some lancers of the
Bourg, and a battalion of infantry, attacked them in
front, another battalion fell upon their rear.
. The effect of this movement was such, that the Turks
threw down their cannons from the summit of the
heights to which.they had been conveyed, and precipi.
tately took flight, abandoning their tents, a standard.
the body of their Commander, who had just expired,
and an ancient Greek convent, the possession of which
was indispensably necessary to enable us to land the
troops On board the fleet.
This es•ential point, and all the heights which the
stem; had disputed with us, were in the power of
Prince Mensikow, when the Emperor reached his be.
vouac en tbe,nsorning of the 4th. After having ob.
served the position, the fortifications, and the bay of
Varna, be issued orders for commencing the works of the
siege, left with Prince Menzikow the detachment by
whom he had been escorted, and inspected the regiments
landed the day before. The Emperor reached the sea
shore by a long and difficult defile which leads from
tie Convent amidst the heights to the sea. There be
embarked on board a file-vessel which,took him to the
Paris, Admiral Greig's ship, where his Majesty con.
descended to accept of a dinner. The Let, consisting
of upwards of, twenty sail, of which eight were of the
line, flee frigates, and three bomb vessels, already block-
aded the pit of Varna. Highly pleased with the state
of the vessels, the condition of the crews, and the ex-
treme rapidity with
.which all the Admiral's signals
were given, and the movements which they indicated
executed in his presence, the Emperor quitted the Pasis
1
in the afternoon, to go on board the Flora Irigate,which
was to convey him to Odessa.. About seven p. m. the
Flora unfurled her sails amidst the firing of all the other
vessels, which salutedahe Imperial flag; and yesterday,
August 8. at two p. m. after a fortunate voyage, his
Majesty cast ancbor before the villa occupied by the
Empress.
The oirbcial report from before Schumla, dated Aug.
7th, says-
-14 According to the accounts of prisoners and deser-
tersohe action of the last cost the Turks neatly 500
men in killed and wounded. _ _ _

" During the night of the Ist to the 2d, we con-
structed redoubts on the key of the position which we
. bad carried during the day.
. " In the morning of the 2d, both our wings ap-
proached the intrencbments of Schumla without the
leasi opposition.
" We continued the same movements on everypoint
during the 4th, Stb, and 6th, and even this day. Every
night we construct fresh redoubts, which approach
the Turkish intrenchments closer and closer, and are
raised within reach of their guns. Yet no sortie has been
made against us, and we have not even been disturbed.
'• When we compare this torpor with the vivacity
and perseverance with which the Ottomans disputed
every inch of ground in the neighbourhood of Schumla,
in preceding campaigns, we no longer recognise their
former character, nor their method of fighting."

TheCon;rier Francais. in an article published the day
before yesterday, says, that the German journals canno;
have Dews from the theatre of war, except by tbe Rus-
sian bulletins, and that at Vienna letters from Turkey
can be bad only by the mail from Bucharest. Now,
independently of this mail from Badmen, we must
state. that Vienna comnssusicates with Turkey by way
of Orsova (or Orcbova) in the.Bannio of Temeswar, by
Brod, in Sclavonia, Costanitna, in Croatia,, and that
in all those places Mire are post offices. laaarettakitc.
We pass over Simile, which the courier ought tt% be
acquainted with, and the•oumeious points of commu-
nication between Dalmatia and the Ottoman States, by
which news May speedily arrive at Tiieste. This.ex
planation appeared to us to be :inciset y before we view
the translation of the following extracts from a private
letter which has been communicated to us: •
OltilOVA, Acme ie.
"Several irnerchmes performing quarantine,who have
emitted from Saes, inform us that the levies of troops
are proceeding with great activity in Macedonia and
the other provinces through which they have passed;
and that notwithstanding these levies, with the excep-
tion of those of pioneers, the Kajas are not molested.—
The Turks are-fortifying Sophia, Nissa, and all the
towns and defiles in that direction, and they appear to
be resolved to defend their territory inch by inch, as
well as their positions, which they fortify and furnish
with provisions, confining themselves (wisely I think) to
a war of *kirmishes, as.they are not able to meet 'the
Russians in a pitched battle. I think that the Russians
ought to have taken advantage of the first confusion
sod the first surprise. and that they have depended too
ninth on the apathy of the Turks. who, besides, could
not persuade themselves till the last moment that the'
Eeropean Powers would suffer them to be swalloweJ
up by the Muscovite giant ; but they have, as you know,'

at.the bottom, a great deal of energy,:national pride,
and patriotism, which will support them, even though
religious faneticisms should be entirely extinguished
amongst them.
4, The Servians, our neighbours, are very sanguine,
and yet they are not destitute of bravery and zeal for
the faith ; but the Prince will n.)t run any risk, and fol.
lows in this respect the wise councils of our auguit
Court; besides, the nation remembers its lest insurrec-
tion, and will not begin again to ruin itself for the inte-
rest of others. The Bosniaks would not wish any better
than to have a pretext to enter Sierra and lay waste the
country. They say that it is to watch and check their
neighbours that they have not yet sent any troops out of
their province, where they are resolved to defend them.
selves, and this is a great loss to the Sublime Porte, for
the Bosniaks alone are able to raise a brave and aunse•
tons army.
" The last accounts we have received from Constan-
tinople, state that order prevails there, notwithstanding
the continual arrivals from Asia Minor, the great pre-
parations for defence upon the Bosphorus, and the daily
enrolling of troops by virtue of the Hatti Scherif. All
this does honour to the Sultan, whose firmness is not to
be shaken, and who has a hundred times more authority
than his predecessors. Mr. M. who came post with a
Tartar of the Legation, says there are many foreign en.
gineers and artillerymen in the service of the Porte,
and that they are fortifying the principal' passakes of
the Balkan, but he does not think that the Russians will
;sass it before th-. winter, and till they have matte them
selves masters of Schumla, which contains a whale army,
of &c.
" They might, indeed, by taking possession of Varna,
make their troops advance ou that side, and march along
the coast to arrive at Constantinople; but there are
many difficulties, and thcite which may be added to
them have not been forgotten: the toads are impassable
in many places, and in many others a communication
between the Russian army and the fleet would be im-
possible.
There are, perhaps, as many dangers as by
the ordinary road by way of Adrianople, and a great
force would be required to secure the rear, the com-
munications, and the convoys. Heaven grant that all
this may end well, and that this affair of the Greeks
may not cause more European blood to flow."

Letters have been received this morning from Con-
stantinople down to the 7th Augu,t, by which we learn
that at that period the capital was .perfectly. tranquil,
ancifthst the most vigorous measures: for its defence,
and chit of the empire, were utsceafingly pursued; and
it was currently believed that the reported successes of
the Turks against the Russians have been confirmed by
recent dispatches received by the Turkish Government,
from the Commander-in,Chief of the Turkish Army at
Sebumla, which was in the best possible state of defence;ii
and defied the attack of the Russians. The absence of
authentic accounts from the capital of the operations at
the seat of war, we are informed, arises from the pro-
hibitory measures .of communication observed by the
Turkish Government. The arrival of Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING was most anxiously expected in the capital.

The Flanders Mall of this morning contains no ad-
ditional news from the seat of war. A private letter
from Odessa, but not of a later date than what has
been previously received, attaches some credit to the
reported suspension of arms between the contending
armies. The foll Owing are extracts:
