tais day contains the Microfilm
46 According to the Eoglish Journals of the 4th
inst. it was supposed io London that an exchange
of prisoners was immediately to take place between
Denmark and Esteem!. If considered seemly as a
thing to bo wished for, we may allow that such 'a
report may obtain credit in London with regard to
the vessels which our brave sailors have taken from
the enemy; but as we do not hero act in Collie.
quence of personal and interested views, we can
assure the public that the Danish Goverment has
never bad any iutcntion of entering into a separate
sieguciation with the English Government. The
Amish Government will ever be distinguished by
persevering in the principles and system it has once
udopted. The English journalists will, therefore,
soon find themselves compelled to inform the pub.
lie that their expectation relative to en exchange of
prisoners has not been realized."
A Decree of the 9th inst. contains the following
dispositions:—" The line which, beginning at our

Vierree, Ave. 27.—We bare at length received
advice, from Turkey that may be relied on.
The left wing of the Russian army, under the
command of Lieutenant.Gineral Von Sam, is still
entrusted with the blockade and bombardment of
Bardschuck ; for the Russians have not yet thought
proper to besiege the place in form. The General
in Chief, Kamenskoy, wishing to get'possession of
the fortress to secure his poeitioUi on the banks of
the Danebe, reinforced the blockatlieg oorps with
from eight to ten thousand men from his main army,
and proceeded in person to storm the place, •which
the Turkish Commandant refused to surrender....

than before. The General in Chief was still in

military stores..
The principal or centre army of the Russians,
which is actually commanded by Lieutenant.Geues
ral Kamentkoy, brother to the General.in-Chief,
still occupies its positions iu front of and on thn'two
flanks of the intrenched camp of Schwab., having
two divisions posted in the rear of the Ottoman
army,.but without being able, however, to cut off
their communication with Adrianople. The Grand
Vizier, Jussuf Pachi, has midis every effort in his
power to penetrate the line of the Reagan allay,
and compel them to retreat, but he has Win

Soule, Auc. 9....0f the male population in
the Turkish provinces, there are no !eager any to

that were able to carry arms have keep obliged to

The Turks are assembling an army of rescrve'ie

fliers have suffered their services to the Grand Vizier,
but have met with a refusal. The Turks, .per.
