Officer of the household of the Governor of lepahan. His

Mr ADA IR, however, received him is Constantinople as a

The day before yesterday, the Legislative Body held as

' Laos came under consideration, by w►ich it is intended to
prolong tke present Session to the 314 December.
M. Ono, French Minister at the Court of Bavaria, has

lis, where his stay k likely to be longer then the last time.
VIEN N , Dec. W.--Our Fiume &netts contains the fol-
lowing article :
Cossr•nrinort.s, Nov. 10..--00 the Ist of November
the-thunder of can-ton from Topttann, announced to us a vic-
tory gained on th 42d of October, not fur from Silistria,
over the Russian army besieging that fortress. The battle, ac-
cording toile a& ices received from the GRAND Yuma,
lasted from early in the morning till night; and the Russians,
who made their attack along the whole line of the Turkish
army, lost more than 10,000 men. Both armies fought princi-
pally with the 'wood, and the fortune of the day was de-
cided by the coming up of MUCTAR PACIIA, in the critical
moment with hen Albanian Cavalry.

The Rassianillifter the battle retired to their intrenched
camp before SiHMIs. Two days before, the garrison had
made a sally, and killed about 1000 men of the besiegers.
On the Bth of November the Porte received from the Grand
Vizier a more circumstantial account of a general action,
which took place between the two armies, in which the
Russians suffered a defeat, and were obliged entirely to eva-
cuate the right bank of the Danube, that is to say, with their
infantry, which-passed that river at Hirsora, while Om ca-
valry, which covered the retreat, had no other way, as the
Turks had broken down the bridge, but the road to Babadaz,
and to pass the Danube near Uatsehin. This cavalry was,
however, closely pursued by the Turks, who, at the time the
dispatches of the Grand Vizier came away, had already taken
many prisoners.

Vtis si A, Dee. 11/.—This dity the French evacuate the
whole of Lower Austria, and some battalions of Austrian
*maps, principally Grenadiers, are to-day expected in

we hope soon to receive an Austrian garrison.
gAmsuacm, DEC. r2.—The peace of Vienna we learn
.(says the Political Journal for November), while the 'sego-
ciations were carried on with such slowness, was particularly
accelerated by a dispatch which arrived at totes, on the 22d
of September, in which the Imperial Court of Russia an-
nounced, that if Justria farther refused to conclude peace,
ALEXANDER himself would act :igen* her with all his
forces.—(Ness. Luting.)

To the EDITOR of TILE ST,ITES-Vsti,

Silt—Through the medium of your Paper I beg
to saw a few suggestions, which I hope you win
think worthy insertion.
I have not the honour of knowing Colonel
Wardle •, but from what I do know of him fron,
others, I am persuaded be will not lightly pass over
what lam about to say. I was present at the late
trial in the King's Bench, and much struck with
the decided objection Colonel Wardle expressed
(when under examination by the Attorney.
General) to state some information that had
been given him by Mrs. Clarke, and this he
said he did oat of respect to some branches of the
Royal Family. Tint such was his motive I have
not a doubt, for I honour his character as mach
as you can do ; and that the motive was good, no
Ulan can question. At the same time, I would
wish Col. W. to consider how far he can in p
deuce and justice withhold front the people Inc
portion of that information. I say in prudence,
for he must be well aware, that the " Public
Robbers" have their favourite Gotoest Harlot,
aided by a venal press, and every other engine
of corruption, hard at work, for the purpose of
deluding the public into a belief that his motive.
in bringing forward the charges against his Boyd
Highness the Duke of York ware other film
pure and honourable ; and however confident
he may be of their inability to make an impree,
sion injurious to him upon the public mind, still I
would ask him, whether a disclosure of that infer.
matlon would not, ou that point, silcoce his eat.
mica for ever ? Would it not chew, that he mils,
brought forward what was necessary to 'establish
his charges ? that he would not give an unnecer.
sou pang I Look at the consequimee—this
conduct a Colesel W.qt has made men bold and
• barefaced in their iniquity ; they have ruioud a
Ready friend of his already, and, with never-ceasing
vigilance, pursue his every path with dark malig.
city I I do then say, as a matter of prudence,
he should make the disclosure. Next, as to the
justice elite case : if, by making the facts known,
the nation at large may be benefited, that in such
cue they ought to be made known, no one can
doubt; and the course that Col. W. ought to
pursue, is clear and decided. If, toot an Illus.
trious Character has an iVerest in the disclosure,
Col. W. has no right to be longer silent upon the
subject.
Let him think well on these things !
Let bim well weigh wheat he owes to the People!
Let him well weigh what he owes to and
each branch of the Royal Family:. !!
Let him well weigh what he owes to himself!!!
I am, Sir, your obedient,liumble Servant,
tiONLSTUS.

The following statement respecting one point in
the dispute between the late Commander is Chief
of the Madras army and the Governor of that
Presidency, appears in The Times of this day :
46 The unhappy dissensions that have prevailed
in India on the Madras Establishment, cannot be
sufficiently lamented by every one who respects
Constituted Authorities, established laws, and has
a becoming zeal for the caw of his country...--.
Whatever may be the issue of these dissensions, it
is proper the Britisti pnblie should be acquainted,.
that the consequences %filch are known to have
already arisen from them, might in the more ma.
terial points have been obviated, if circumstances,
which it was thcf interest of a particular person to
conceal, had been duly imparted to a higher autho.
rity. Out of this unjustifiable concealment; mil,
conception arose, to which may be ascribed the
unfortunate events that have since oocurthl.
" These observations are made in cousequeno
of having remarked, in the very able Address
from the Governor General of India to the Go.
vernor of Madras, that a great stress is laid upon
the reprimand issued in General Orders, by the
Commander in Chief, Lieutenant_General
DOWALL, against the Quarter-Master-General,
Lieutenant-Colonel Jens/ Mohan.
" That a misconception with respect to the nit,.
lure of this reprimand, was entertained by the Go,
vernor of Madras, will be pruvedi should General
MAIDOWALL ever reach England, by the testi,
many of *General, of the late Adjutant-Generay
Lieutenant-Colonel Careen, and of Captain
Coolies, Aid-de-Camp. The feet respecting the
reprimand; as stated by these Gentlemen, stied.
thus:—
" The Quarter-Mastor.General, in a conk.
rence with the Commander in Chief, in the prey..
settee of Lieutenant-Colonel CAPPDR and Captain
Cooing', violated that respect stbieh was due to his.
superior officer, in language and manner so ye-
Etisolsalt imegislir) and Abaft 'AV' 'Gen end:
NIACDOWALL was almost provoked to put him
under immediate arrest. He, however, sent for
the Judge-Advocate to take his opinion as to
the propriety of such a measure, when the latter
observed, " 6 if you put the Clitarter.Mainer,,l
General under arrest, for personal disrespect, it
will be necessary for you to remain its India to
prosecute ; otherwise the arrest will be useless, as
your successor will feel it his duty to release him."
The General hiving definitively made hit arrange-.
tents for proceeding to Europe, declined the mea-
sure of arrest, but observed, " Colonel Mumio
shall certainty not escape with impunity," and
accordingly issued the reprimand about two hours
before he embarked.
" This reprimand, by a fatal and extraordinary
perversion of circumstances, and principally from
want of explanation with Genera! MACDOWALL,
who had embarked and, sailed at the time, caused
the Governor of Madras to adopt the measures hi
did with respect to that officer ; under the impres-
sion that the censure in General Orders, which
was directed against the Quarter-Master-General,
personally, was intended to apply to the conduct
and proceedings of the Government."

On Wednesday an insurance was effected at
LLOYD'S oil a French vessel and her cargo I'l'ol
Gordaloupe to France, at a pretniu►n of wit
guineas!
Tho coo oc Directors have not received 14
official accounts from their Presidencies. The
Op of tikti West. istier is tlte 15th of August.
