It will be sees by the following details. east:lined
is Sestets from Sinyrsa to Os* 211th of filagosabor, that

which have not before been made pohlic. That a
Selas/ogee had been assassinated on the 20th of No-
weather. we have already heard from the French
papers ; we were likewise told that the ficlavoniaiss
in turn retaliated upon the Turks. This aggressioa.
it seems, led to a general risint of the Turks upon
the &I:woolens. The esgagenwat between the par-
ties was very obstinate and bloody, and lasted from
the 21st to the 23,1 of November. Nut less than 500
lives were lost on both sides. The Austrian Consul, is
the first instance, appealed to the Pacha of Smythe,
the Sclavonians being under the protection of Austria,
but could obtain no satisfaetiee : the attack upon the
Turks was t►erefore renewed with increased anima-
city. On the 26th of November the British, Aus-
trian sod Dutch Consuls drew up a remonstrance, and
presented it is the Pacha. In this document t►ey
stated. that, as the representatives of civilised nations,
they could not witness such barbarities, without claim•
log the interposition of the only authority competent
to repress them; they therefore called upon the Peels*
to use his power to put an end to the carnage without
delay. The Pacha replied. that be was ready to
adopt every means in his power to check the violence
of the Turks; &ad. by his interference tranquillity
was ultimately restored on the 27th of November.
EXITS,. Jan. the forenoon of Monday
se'noight. two females, named Maria Rolostoo attic
Martha Crispin. the former about 28. and the latter
12 years of age. set out from Cbristow to go to Cited•
high. la their way they had to cross a wooden
bridge over the Teign ; but the railing of the bridge
having been washed away by the late flood, they lost
their footing, aid were both carried down the stream
and drowsed. It appeared on the inquest from
the evidence of a carpenter, who was employed to
repair the bridge. that be had left the spot about
tea minutes to procure poles. and on his return
found a basket and umbrella on the Chodleigh widen('
the river, Dear his tool-bag, but had not seen any one
deposit them ; from this circumstance it should seem
that one of the unfortunate secrets bad crossed the
bridge in safety, and had retersed to help her compa-
nion. The nselahoholy event was not known to their
friends until Tuesday afternoon, when immediate
search was made, and the body of M. Crispin was
found in the river about two miles below the place
where she fell is : the other was not found on Then-
slay morning. though every practicable means had
been exerted for that purpose.

On Tuesday last, bis Majesty's revenue cutter,
Scourge, eons/needed by Daniel Weld, Esq. captured
three boats, off Otterton-head, with above 300 'tabs of
spirits, two hap of tea, and twelve men. The answers
brought to the Castle of Exeter, on Friday, in it
coaches, guarded by a detachment of dragoons.
Magistrates eoesplied with their request, to be alio
time tu procure prufessional advice and prepare their
fence : the examination is therefore deferred until -
day nest, and la the mean time they are to reload is
custody.
CORN EXCIRANOR, JAN. 9.—We had but little Wheat
fresh in this morning, bat a further larp 'only of Bee-
ley, which article, of prime quality, obtained blenders
prices; but the inferior sorts were unsaleable, and a
very coasiderabk quantity remain on hand, which was
offered at an abatement of Is. pet quarter. Wheat sep-
ports Mondry's ;potation, but the demand was heavy,
