SEPT. 9.—A Courier from the army on the other
side of 'the Danubti has arrived with the futlowing
account of a decisive sictory obtained over' the
Turks :--

Gen. Count Kaminsky, who had been informed
of the march of a considerable Turkish corps, which
was destined to the succour of Rudschuck, pro.
ceeded to meet the enemy with a part of his army.
Arriving Go the sth of September at the village of
lrityn, situated between the river Yanira and the
he resolved to attack the enemy next
morning. The action, however, actoey coin.
menced only on the 7th, Jtit ten in the forenoon.
The enemy, though greatly favoured by strong in_
trenchments, and by the advantages of ground,
were, after an extremely Obsiillitie QUlltebt, obliged
t iiive way. The *hole Turkish corps, which,
according to the statements of the prisoners, con.
'isted of 43,000 men, was, after losing the whole
camp artillery, completely annihilated or dispersed.
greater. part of the Turkish cavalry, s bich had
ialt..:ll !light, was cut down by the Russians. Mech.
Paella or Three Tails, who occupied a Gann.
Able fortified position, on finding himself stir.
rounded, sent a notice to the Commandet.ln.Chief,
that tie was ready to capitulate, and actually did
ti so rre lid ei, with air the troops that occupied these
strung works. The Turkish &Hint( is ills° de.
stroyed ; one vessel is taken, but thq 4reatbr part
was sunk.
The trophies of this day consist of a standard,
two Generals' staves, 176 tails. The Russians
have also made 5000 prisoners, among whom are a
eoiasiderable number of Officers of rank. The whole
field of battle was covered with the dead bodies of
the Turks, among whom was the Commander
Seraskier lionseliaur Ali.

BERNE, SEPT. 21.—Her Majesty the Empress
Joseithiec arrived on the 11th with her suite at flex,
remained there during the 12th, and proceeded on
the 13th towards Lausanne. It is believed. th .t
had it not been for the bad' weather, her 'Majesty
would have visited the Salt Works at Bevieus,-
Her Majesty remained from the 14th to the 16'11 in
Lausinfie, whence she departed for Geuf. As
she preserved the strictest incognito, the Govern.
ment could* not pay her any public marks of re-
spect. Her Majesty, however, received with her
usual affability the President of th, Government,
and the Inspector-General of the Military, and
viewed the fine neighbourhood of Lausanne.
SiTTeaso, OCT. 3.—M. de Grativogl, of Mu-
nich, has established it Au6sburgh a manufactory
of sugar, from beet foot, which succeeds extremely
well, and protnise:: the most important results. He
manufactured,' during last year, 20,000 pounds of
sugar, and the quantity this year will be live times
as much. The 'price of this suer is 4.z.0 per cent.
lower than that of the sugar 'from cane, and at
the same time is superior to it in quality or
sweetness. A pound of sugar from be •t root is
equal to two pounds and a quarter of sugar from
grapes. ' It is besides much less expensive, because
an acre may produce from three hundred to six
hundred quintals of beet root, and each quintal 3Q
pounds of juice, which will produce three pounds
and a half of white Sugar, and an equal quantity
of syrup. The residue serves for rum or .aqua
vitth, and after having extracted all the saccharine
and spirituous matter it contains, there still remains
a refuse most excellent for feeding cows. Beet be-
sides has leaves of a very large size, which arc in
much request for cattle. This manufactere.tnay be
carried on during eight months of the year, whereas
that of sugar from grapes is limited to a very short
period, and that 'of sugar from the maple tree is
scarcely of longer duration. Such are the adieu-
. tages of making sugar from bek root, which are
amply detailed in a Memorial lately published on
that subject. •
AsenaeeeNuouno, OCT. I.—UM Royal Iligh-
ness the Grand Duke of Frankfurt has 'ordt:reti his
Ministers and Counsellors of State to repair to
'lanais, where his Highneis arrived this day tu open
the Council of State. The election of Members of
the States Will take place on the Bth, in the prin.
cipal towns. of the fuur dePartments", and un 'the
15th the Diet will be opened at Henan.
PARIS, OCT. B.—His Highness the Prince I:Loyal
of Sweden set otit from* Mortfontaine On the 1;t in.
smut for Stockholm. This Prince spent the 31. at
Metz, and was to have arrived on the 6th or 7th
at Hanaburgh.
M. Baines, a cloth manufacturer in the Corn.
mune of Charny, in the "Department of the Seine
and Marne, has found out the; means of growing
coffee its France.. lie sowed some Mocha coffee,
and this trial has produced to bum this year about
15Ibs. of beans, which have preserved both their
karma and form. M. Desfontaines, Mayor of
Thorigny, has undertaken to present to his Excel-
lency the Minister of the Interior, a sample weigh.
inn s:b. and to transmit another sample to the So.
ciety of AgricultUre. M. Barnes, its the culture of
this coffee, neither einplOysi green-house with arti-
ficial heat; nor glass frames, nor glass'covers : his
success arises wholly from the mode in which •he
preparei the soil deeigned for this production.

ANt Tram ntoitY.— an the month of June last,
says an lribh Paper, a boy was angling for pike in
a small lake on the borders of the River Bann, near
Kilrea, in the County of Derry.' He struck, his
lishing.rud in the ground, at the edge of the water,
and left it there• some tune. When he returned,
he found that the bait, which was a frog, had been
swallowed by a small pike, which had afterwards
been swallowed by a larger, of 91b. weight, and
both were caught at once with a great part of the
tail of the small one between the jaws of the large
one! The relater was an eye-witness of the fact.
It is very singular, that Lord LVELLINoTom and
Nlasstrai have in their Waggon Trains eight CAR-
TERS to each Waggon—but it is more singular that
eight Is CARTER'S Number at Charing.eross, and in
Portugal, and Cooper's flail—in the Lottery and
in the Field, we have no doubt that all the Carters
will Lave the Whip Hand.

On Thursday, last an inquisitian..was taken at
Lewes, on the body of Homer, a private in
the 37tth root, who was shot between six and seven
o'clock on Tuesday evening, by Juhn Carter, a
labourer in the service of T. Tuurle, as he
was crossing a notatue.plot, in Landport.lane, near
that town. The poor fellow languished in extreme
agony until noun the next day, wheo he es 1 irtx!,
aged 28 years. At ten o'clock 'the Coronet's Jury
assembled at the Black lkorso, and from thence pro.
ceeded to the 1141rruck Hospital, to take a vie of the
body, tie Regimental Surgeon being there in at.
tentlance for' the purpose of dissecting it. The
reins exhibited sixteen distinct and deep woundi,
the effects of the deadly shot, which, on laying open
the abdomen, were found to lie).i,-ces of cut lead, of
various dimensions, and which had not only per.
forated both lobes of the lun2s and the liver, but
also miserably lacerated the left kinciney ; and se, *.
I al were taken from the thorax, sticking to the ribs.
It afterwards came out in evidence, that the deceas.m-,
and two of his comrades,- having unfortunately •
trespassed on the plantation referred' to (w hich is in
an open lane), were taken fur depredators, put to
{light, pursued, and rashly shot at by two persons,
armed with horse.pistols, who, with five others,
had been ordered to watah the potatoes; One of
the soldiers wholly escaped, but the other, after
being fired at without injury, was seized.. It fur.
ther appeared, that Carter, after he had shut Ho.
tiler, went up to him, when the unhappy sufferer
exclaimed, 44 You have stung me billet I) !" turned
sick, and fell upon his face, in which situation his
assailant left him, and joined in the pursuit of the
other two. The wounded man contrived to cr tw I
some distance, where he would have tentained and,
died, had not his groans brought a drummer of the`
regiment to his assistance, who dragged him to one
of the huts near the barracksov here he received all
the medical aid that could be afforded him.
After an investigation of sill hours the Jury re-
turned their verdict—llootiekt bg misadventure !
and Carter, on Saturday, was committed by the
Coroner to Horsham C aol, for trial at the next
Assizes ; till when, notwithstanding tie above' var.
diet, the nature of the indictment that will {le pre.
(erred against him, cannot be known.
The remains of the deceased, who bore a most ex.
clelent charoacter'in the regiment, were interred with
military honours on Thursday evening.

The Cacadores of the Portuguese army, of whom
Lord WEr.t.iNozom makes such honourable men-
tion for their gallant conduct in the recent actions
Kith the enemy, are a species of Chas9eurs, or
' light troops, mostly mounted, and nut in general
subject to the strict rules of ordinary disci-
pline; they are mostly used fur the purpose of
harassing the rear of a tlyiug army, or preventing
the advancing of columns.
On Thursday last, a couple who had agreed to
be married at a church near Lewes; set out front
their home, accompanied by the bride-maids, &e.
to have the ceremony performed, and had actually
reached the cltuich.donr, when a qualm of con.
science, or some other ooalm, occasioned the bridb
to change her mind, and she actually ran utf,
leav-
ing the disappointed bride.groom,bride-tnakl.,father,
parson, and rlerk, in a state of utter astonishinent.
The *damsel, however; afterwards attended the al.
tar, and the indissoluble knot was tied : since

Last Saturday night an elderly man, a ginger.
brt;ad baker, residing 'in the house of Mr. Hudson,
in Marquis-covrt, Drury_lane, cut his throat, and
otherwise mangled himself In a dreadful manner.
lie had sent his wife opt to get some clean lined for
Sunday morning, and in the rueao time ciiiiiinitted
the lash act ; his Wife soon after came home, and
finding the door locked was very muck terrified,
and immediately ran down to the landlord, who
went up stairs and broke 'open the doer, when a
dreadful scene presented itself. A sargeon was sent '
for, who sewed up the' wound, and the man was
conveyed in a coach to St. BartholinnaW's Hospital;
with little hopes of recovery. He had been ill fun
two months, and it is supposed that he was insane
at the time. He was formerly a mall of consider.

The highway eolabery, of which Cuer was con-
victed, and for which hereceived sentence °flitch at
Peterborough Sessiiins last week, was attended as itk
the following circumstances :—lt appeared that
Hugh Martin, the Prosecutor, a poor Irishman, wiho
had been at harvest-work in Cambridgeshire, wai
returning through Peterborough on his road to his
dear land of potatoes, on Saturday evening, the 29th
ult. when he met the Prisoner i•i the street (it he.
ing then nearly dark), and asked him if he could
spew him the way to a lodgiog-hous:•? The Piisunee
(who is also an Irishman), knowing 'probably front
the Prosecutor's voice that he was a countryman,
answered—" No, I cannot ; but rather than )uu
should go without a bed, you shall have half amine."
—" Good look to your honour," said Pat, " will
you go into this public house aed have a glass of
ruin ?" to this the Prisoner readily assented ; and
they sat drinking till about halt past 10, wheri
they left the house, and soon after, iustcafl of
Coding himself in the Prisoner's bed-room, the.
poor fellow was conducted into a field near the
town, where the Prisoner left him, and shortly all
terwards-returned with another man, who kniacked
•
the Prosecutor down, took from him all his tiara
earuiugs, and cut off the feet of Isis stockings, on.
der the supposition that hank.notes might-have been
concealed ' there. Thu y then left loan and the
night being exceedingly dark, the Prosecutor could
nut find his way out of the field, but remained
there all night. As soon as it was light,.be found
his way to Peterborough, and was discovered sitting
on a stone, weeping and lamenting his loss, why.s
upon being asked the cause, he related It we* ib
much artlessness, and described the Prisoset with
such accuracy, that he was apprehended quail pa.
rade, and committed to prisms. It was proved bir
a soldier, with whom he was quartered and slept,
that lie was out of his quarters on the night of the
rubbery, and his evidence being corroborated by
other testimony, the Jury fuuud the Prisoner--
Guilty.
