It • GERMAN PAPXII4.
German Papers to a late date arrived last nicht.
They confirm the report of a Missies Ukase prohibit-
ing the proceeding and elre.ing, the Lodges of Free-
masons throughout Russia and Poland. They also con-
tain contradictory statements respecting the move-
ments of the Persians. The following are extracts :
SOPHIA (Oa IPILa&RIAc) Net. 19.—The reinforce-
ments that have necessarily arriied, have raised the
Turkish army now in' the country to above 30,000
men ; and to this citicuitistance miy be ascribed the
check on the petty mountain warfare, with an infinite
number of more or less considerable bodies of partisans.
A kind of typhus fever is said to rage among the gar-
rison of Rasgrad, in the Paehalik of Nicopoli.
PRONTIERS or ITALY, Dec. 21.—We are entirely
without authentic accounts of the Military operations
of the Persians. At Smyrna commercial letters had
been received, stating, that one of the corps had taken
Erzerum, and the greater part of Armenia, and that
Cardistan was in the power of another Persian corps. I
lint they are said to have tetired from the side of
Bagdad, sod to have entrenched Ilussorali for a short
time, without any reason Appearing for this retreat. ,
We hare the same accounts from Alexandria, Gout
which city they write, that the Pacha of Egypt has
baen called epee by the Sultan to send a corps of
troops to Asia, and with another army to keep the
Weebabites, in check ; but that the Paella is not malt _
isc any arrangenti at, and did not seem disposed to
obey these commando.
Poem Tile DAstene, Dec. 24.—Authentic accounts
front Widdin. of Dec. 9, say but little of the insurrec-
rection in Servia, which has been so much talked of;
on the other band the Pacha of Salonichi has sent to
the Pacha of Widdin the official account of the de-
struction of the Greek 1 eeurgent force at Cassandra
after an obstinate engagement which lasted (Garters
hours, and in which the Greeks lost about 6000 mete.
—According to this Turkish account numerous di-
visions of Greeks laid down their arms, others fled
en board Hydriat ships, which continued to
infest that sea and the adjacent country. They had yen.
-tared I landings on the coast, destroyed small
tows, and villages, and distributed proclamations. The
Pacha has already taken measures to put a stop to these
disorders. He has detached 12,000 Asiatic troops to
reinforce Chourachid Pacha. The Turks flatter them-
selves with ending the seine of the fort of Jeannie, by a
general assault, the result of which can hardly be doubt-
ed.—(Nswenslrerg Correspondent, Dee. 29.)
VIENNA, Dec. 2g.—Tue Austrian Observer of t:).
day says—" Accoutireceived yesterday from the fron-
tiers of Dalmatia, confirm the previous news of the ad-
vantages gained over Ali Pacha by Chouriscbid Pubs
(who has been lately appointed Pasha of 'loannina.)
Os the 13th of Nov. he took the two forts Listarisza
and La Willa, which are the Strongest outworks of
Jeannie' ; and it is expected, with great probability,
that Ali will soon be obliged to surrender, or, as has
been long expected, to pat an end, by a desperate re-
solution, to the contest and his life together."
