southern frontier, the continted otiect of alarm to
her from the invasion of the Tot ks. The Russian
army of reserve, under the command of-Connt WITT-
RENSTEIN, has received orders to proceed with ell
bate through Poland to the frontiers of Nloldnvia,
In order to reinforce the Russian army iu that quar-
ter. 1t is generally supposed that Russia, being now
at liberty and able to prosecute her designs against
Turkey, will take possession of Nloldaria, Walla -
„Ha, and Bessarabia, like Poland, never to give
etun up. It is to he recollected that three years
sgo Turkey was indebted for the preservation of these
piesinces to the memorable events of that
whom Russia was obliged to Le indulgent towards
Tutkey, in order to be at liberty to employ is whole
force against the attack of BoNAPARTE. Angola has
thought itself obliged, by these armaments, to adopt,
some measures of precaution in its eastern frontier 1
pvoiinces, but Russia seems disposed to employ still,:
more serious measures.

The Prussians are continuing their operations nith
vigour against the fortresses, and al! their charac-
teristic inhumanity. A heavy cannonade is kept up
against Niontmedy, end fire has broke out iu different
places at different times, by which the inhabitants of
the place have suffered greatly. To the proposals of
the Commandant to capitulate, an answer has been
given that no terms will be granted but such as have
been granted to the other fortresses. The white flag
and professions of loyalty afford no protection.
Befort does not seem disposed to surrender an easy
conquest to the invader. The garrison, says a let.
ter from Chalons-sor-Saone, in the Paris Journals,'
has sworn to [vary itself in the ruins of the place ra-
ther than listen to any terms of capitulation. It is
an Austrian General who is commanding the blockade
of Befort. Tito fort is situated on the crest of a steep
reek, is well provisioned, and provided with a for-
midable artillery; and the city is also equally cape.
ble of defence, so that the siege of this place will be
very difficult.
Some conception may he formed of the relation
which the conduct of 'the commandtrs of the for-
tresses has bad with the instructions from the Govern-
ment, from the circumstance of BARBINEGRE, the
Commandant of Ilustingnen, having been cited, as
private accounts say he bite, before a Commission of
'lnquiry for )ielding up the place, which he, how-
ever, defended with 149 men against 20,000. The
correspondence between him and the Archduke Jolts
is stated to be very curious; and it is said that he is
told he may retire with his troops into the thirty-five
departments coded to Louis XVIII. by the Allied
Sovereigns.
The city of Lyons has again been saddled with a I
contribution of two Millions of francs to cover the
cerTices of September. " It is much to bi Wine;
sap the Paper width states this fact, " that the
Treaty should he signed before October, seeing that
if this (vent does not take place, the means of satis-
fying this demand do not appear." •
The Journal de Paris says, the four Commissioners
of the Allied Powers, charged with the superin-
tendence of EuecrAnee, are to meet at an English
port, where they will embark for St. Helena.
We presume the report said to be conveyed in pri- j
rate letters, of Marshal NEY having escaped from
the Abbey is untrue. No mention is made of any
such circumstance in the Paris Journals ; and if we
mistake not NEY has never been in the prison of the
Abbey. The assertion that he was to be removed
thither was contradicted.
We must leave the !tender to make his own com-
ments on the rest of the contents of the Foreign Pa.
p?: s. and conclude by directing his attention to the
copy of the Private Letter addressed to ourselves,
firm Pa tie, which we subjoin to our translations,
and which places the conduct of the Allies and Louts
XVIII. in rather a novel point of view. It states
'kat disputes between Foucue and Ta LLEY fre-
Inely run very high.

A second relates to the formation of the Royal

tion, which the Ordonnance of the Ist inst. ditl not.
