one of artillery. I ordered General Durgin to cl,rect
this expedition, and to blow open the gates of the town,
the walls of which are in good condition, and do not
offer, like those of Navarin, a point that can be scaled.
At noon the troops had arrived within half cannon-
shot of the citadel, covered by a ravine which masked
them. His Majesty's ship of the line the Breslau, Capt.
Maillard, and the English ship the Wellesley, Captain
Maitland, had placed themselves ready to fire upon the
tosvn at the first signal. General Durrieu embarked a
company of voltigeurs in the boats of the ships, for the
purpose of forcing the gate next the sea, with assistance
of the seamen. Another company was placed as sharp-
shooters opposite the embrasures, with orders to fire
upon the gunners, if they began to fire. Lastly, two
ether chosen companies were placed before the bridge
which leads to the citadel, with Colonel Bulliere at
their head; four companies of the centre were placed
tin the rear, to support them in case of need.
" Every thing being prepared at the same signal, the
boats advanced towards the sea gate, and the sappers
advanced along the bridge to the land gate, which they
were beginning to force open in presence of the garrison,
which did not dare to make any offensive movement,
when a parley was again demanded. At that moment
I myself arrived at the gate. A violent storm had re-
tarded my march. I advanced to keep off Hassan Pacha
and Achmet Bey, who were descending into an out-
work
near the gate. , The Pacha again declared to me
that he could not surrender the fortre.s, but that if I
took him prisoner, in spite of himself, he hoped I should
give him as good terms as the garrison of Navarin. I
promised, and without waiting for any tarther explana-
tion, caused the gate to be forced open, that which the
sailors and voltigeurs were ordered to carry having
made less resistance. Captsins Maitland and Maillard,
who had entered at their head, appeared at this moment
on the ramparts, and thus we were masters of Motion
as well as Navarin.

" I shall send to your Excellency, as soon as they are
completed, the lists of the artillery and ammunition
found in the several fortresses.
" I cannot conclude without stating to your Excel-
lency with what frankness and zeal Admiral Malcolm
has seconded us. His ships were by the side of oars,
ready to fight with us, if it had been necessary, at Na-
•arin, Modon, and Coron, and in the Golf of Lepanto.
Captain Maitland, of the Wellesley, was one of the first
who entered Modon
.with our Voltigeurs, and ardently
desired to take part in an action.
" I have the honour to be, Sec. Ike.

The Paris rapers of Saturday, which had been received
previous to the arrival cf the preceding, together with
the Dutch Papers of the same date, contain no political
intelligence of the least interest. The Empress of
RUSSIA arrived at St. Petersburgh on the 15th ult. in
perfect health from Odessa, accompanied by her sister-
in-law, the Grand Duchess Ma ata. The Russian Go-
vernment has adopted the plan of Sir ROBERT SCPPINOS
in building ships of war with round sterns; A ship of
the line constructed upon this principle has just been
launched from the Royal Dock-yard at Ochia. Great
preparations are otherwise nuking for the increase of
the Russian navy.

Frankfort Papers, and the Algemeine Zeitung, each to
the 29th, have been received this morning. Their con•
tents, as will be seen from the subjoined extracts, are
without the least intere.t :
ST. PETERSBURG% OCT. 14.

" Modon is a vet:), strong place, which has, what is
not common in the E ist, a covered way, pallisadoed,
an enormous ditch, a double inclosure, and walls of
considerable height. It was provided with provisions
for more than six months—with ammunition for two
sieges—one hundred pieces of cannon—a garrison of
1078 men, of whom 508 are Turks, and 570 Arabs of
the 4th battalion. •
" Coron was surrendered the same day as the two
preceding fortresses; but the garrison was much less
disposed to surrender, the means which so happily suc-
ceeded at Modon and Navajo, and which I had or-
dered General Sebastiani to employ, had not the same
success at Coron. That General appeared on the 7th
before the gate of that town, announcing that liatarin
and Ilodon were in our hands; nevertheless the Turkish
Governor persisted in his resistance. Seeing that par-
leying was to no purpose, General Sebastiani was, ac-
cording to my orders, resolved to attempt an escalade
the next day, t:ie Bth. Stones thrown from the tops.
of the walls wounded some sappers and Captain Bon-
tank!, of the Engineers. I had forbidden our troops
to fire first, without espies: orders from me. General
Sebastiani, though indignant at the insult offered to his
troops, seeing them ready to transgress his orders, had
so much command over himself as to order them to
retire out of gun-shot. Thus he avoided a useless en-
gagement. I am the more obliged to him for having
taken this prudent step, as his batteries were ready. as
the Amphitrite was moored within half-caution shot,
and he was certain of destroying in a short time all the
defences of the Turks, but war would then have begun
between them and us. In the evening the Breslau and
the Wellesley arrived off Coron, and joined the Am-
phitrite, to awe the 'larks. The Captains immediately
landed, and it was agreed that the Governor should
be desired to send a Turkish officer to convince himself
of the taking of Modon, and that in a quarter of an
hour after the return of that officer, the plase should be
delivered up to the Bench troops, or that it should be
attacked by sea and land, and destroyed with the gar-
rison. These measures produced their effect, and on
the 9th Coron opened its gates. This place, as far as
concerns the fortifications, is not in so bad a condition
as Navarin ; but, like the two others, it presents only a
heap of buildings in ruins.
" I intend to deliver up Coron to the Greek Govern-
ment, as soon as it shall send regular troops to occupy
it. We have found in it, as well as in the other two
places, provisions, ammunition, and ample means of
defence. It has eighty pieces r•f cannon and mntar!.

An Ukase has been addressed by his Majesty the Emperor to
the Director of the Ecclesiastical Affairs of Foreign Religious
Confession, which is to the following effect :

" Having examined with particular attention the Petition pre-
sented to me by Bishop Cyancus and the Rev. Melva. Reinbott
and Volborth. as well as the details of the state of the Lutheran
Church in Russia, I find that it is absolutely necessary, for the
better organization of that Church, to make the regulations
at present subsisting in it more conformable to the original
principles, and to determine with more precision and unifor-
mity, as well the Constitution of the Consistories, and other
spiritual Protestant authorities and corporations which take
part in the affairs of the Church." His Majesty has therefore
ordered, that the Protestant Consistories of Livonia, Enke-
nia, and Courland, and that at St. Petersburgh, shall collect and
send to the above department of Ecclesiastical Affairs, the most ac-
curate and detailed accounts of all the deviations from the ordi-
nances of the Lutheran Church, which have been introduced in
the course of time, or permitted by custom. After these accounts
have been received, a Special Commission is to be appointed at St.
Pecersburgh, of which the Privy Councillor and Senator Count
Tiesenhausen is to be President, and which Is to draw up a plan of
a general ordinance fur the Protestant Evangelic Church in Rank.

On the let October the inauguration of the University, which
has been removed from Also to Helsingfors, was celebrated with
great solenmity. The number of itutients is already 285, and more
are daily arriving.
SWITZERLAND, OCT. 18.

The new Zurigla Gazette, and from it some French and German
Journals, reported that, on account of the extravagant fees which.
ware demanded by the Court of Rome of the newly-appointed'
Canons of the diocese of Basle, which they had neither the will
nor ability to pay, their installation bad been deferred. The Wald-
stadier Bote is authorised efficiently to contradict this falsehood.

1. The fees for the Bulls of nomination have been whoUy re-
mitted by his Holiness to the new Canons. The usual office fees
which they had to pay were so trilling, that no one thought of ob-
jecting to them.

Y. The installation was deferred because the Hortatory brief is
shortly expected from Rome, which the Pope always addresses to
the Chapter on the appointment of a Bishop, and to spare them the
trouble of two jorrnies to Soleure, they will not go there to be in-
stalled till the arrival of the brief from Rome, when the installation
will be Ferformed in one day, and the choice of the Bishop take
place the day following. The whole article in the Zurich Gazette
is therefere a complete and highly offensive fabrication.—Frankfort
Papers. Os. sa.

AUGSBURG. Ocr. 27.
The 411 genuine Zeiistng of 93th Oct. has the following postscript :
" We have just received by express the following Bulletin, which
puts an end to the unfavourable reports spread from Bucharest,
Semlin," &c.

L Here follows the Bulletin of Octal, relating to the fall of Vatna.l

CI CYO TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Consols opened this morning at 861, with little or nothing doing;
and at present tbey may be quoted at 86i to i.
The Hamburgb steam-boat has not yet arrived.
The Foreign mike is very inactive, and prices are nominal at
present.

It noveappeart that the Russian campaign has terminated, and
the Emperor of Russia haa returned to St. Petersburgh.

"Your Excellency has seen by my last dispatches,
that after having organised the third brigade, I sent it
by sea to the Gulf of Lepanto, with orders to drive the
Turks from Patras and the Castle of the Mores. This
brigade was landed on the 4th. On the same day
General Schneider began to negotiate with Hadji Ab•
d,slha, Pacha ref Patras and of the Castle of Morea.
After much parleying, which led tl nothing, the term
of twenty-four hours, which was granted for a defini-
tive answer, having expired, General Schneider imme•
diately formed his three regiments in three columns,
the artillery being drawn between the columns, and
marched directly towards the place, before which he
drew them up within cannon shot, and completely sur-
rounded it.

The following is from a Frensh Paper received by the Mall this
mornin&:

" The Emperor of Russia has left Varna, and the Russian army
are preparing to go into winter quarters."

Accounts from Frankfort, of the 27th October, state, that
private letters from Berlin mention that from the 7th to thr 9th
Oct. the Russians lost 5,000 men in the assaults on Varna; also,
that Jussurr PAeNa was bribed, for instead of following the orders
of his superior Officer, be nude a sortie, went over to the enemy,
and laid down his arms; but the Carimu Pacus did not sur.
render until after an obstinate resistance.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

.6 This bold movement, in which we succeeded here,
produced its effect, and a capitulation was the result of
it. General Schneider highly commends the ardour and
discipline of his troops.
" On the whole, since the departure of Ibrahim has
left us at liberty to act, our operations have been suc-
ces.ful. Undoubtedly we have not acquired any mili-
tary glory by them, but the object for which we have
come—th e Ilber ation of Greece—has been more happily
and promptly effected ; the More.* has been cleared of
its enemies. Ibrahim embarked 21,000 men;
.he left,
in the fortresses of Messenia more than 2,500 men,
Turks and Egyptians. General Schneider found about
3,000 men in the forts of Patras And MOM. Thus be-

Consols, until twelve o'clock, rather appeared at a fixed price,
twa to for the Account, until the Chancery Broker appeared in
the market, and purchased 127,000 Consuls at 861 for next Fri.
day, when the market rather improved, and• at present may be
quoted at 86i buyers.

Private letters have been received this morning from one of the
first houses at Vienna to the 23th ult. stating that the official ac-
counts of the capitulation of Varna bad been received there—ns
fighting had taken place previous to its surrender. These letters also
add, that the Emperor of ltuasta was to leave, for, St. Peters-
burgh, and no doubt was entertained in Vienna that a negotiation
would ensue.—Metalliques 55-41. ink Actions 1,052.

Letters have also been received from Berlin, corresponding with
the above information. The Four per Cent. Seehandlangs were 91.

" I have the satisfaction of acquainting you, that the Earl of
Aberdeen has at length succeeded in concluding a Convention with

Mr. WARING, the King's messenger, arrived at tle
Foreign Office last night with dispatches from Lord
HEYTESBURY, at Odessa; and Lnrd COWL IT at
Vienna. Lord HITTIISIBURY'S dispatches are dated
.the 17th ult. and Lord Cowutv's, the 25th. We
understand they contain merely the official account
of the fall of VArna, on the 11th, the particulars
of which have been already fully detailed. These dis-
patches make no mention of the statement made by the
French Journals, of the Emperor NrcnotArt having
left the army for the purpose of returning to his capital,
or of the preparations said to be making for the Russian
army going into. winter quarters. This statement,
therefore, still requires confirmation.
