the advance of the Russians TO the Turkish
Capital, unless 3onaparte. reservins the
capture of it for himself, sends an order TO
the Emperor of Russia to suspend his march.
The Russians were. at the date of the last
accounts, engaged in the Siege OF Silistria,
and meant. af;er it's surrender, to proceed
to AdrianopIe. Basilico the Messenger had

FLAG OF TRUCE.
Flag OF Truce arrived, OH Saturday
near Dover & Calais, & landed Mr.. Maynts
an Austrian Messenger, the same per-
son, we believe, who has before visited this
Country III the same situation. The vessel
endeavored to make Dover Roads, but the
WIND and tide being uniavorable, she made
the land about three miles to the eastward.
MT Mantet. the Agent for Prisoners, be
ing apprized of her approach Immediately,
followed her in the Custom house boat, ha-
wing previously ordered a chaisc and four
to meet him at Kingsdown, in which he
shortly after returned to Dover, accompani-
ed by the austrian Messenger. who set out
Immediately for London, where he arrived
yesterday. The flag Of truce returned on
the same evening to Calais From the con-
duct Of Bonaparte, it does not appear proba-
Bile, that he would suffer an Austrian Mes
sengcr to pass through Calais 70 this coun-
try, unless to answer his own purpose, and
hence some will suppose that Mr.. Mayntz's
dispatches may be connected with a proposisi
on tor peace, particularly as something of
the Kind was expected about this time !;
and a report has prevailed, that there has
been tor some time French Agent in Lon
don, who though noninally authorised only
70 treat Tor an exchange of prisoners, is sup
posed to be invested with extensive pow
ers. The more general opinion, however.
IS, that the dispatches contain the letters of
recall of Prince Stahrembergh, the Austrian
Minister at this Court, and the official noti-
hcation OF the Treaty between France and
Austria, and the consequent cessation of all
intercourse between the latter and this coun-
try.
Mr.. CANNING is said to have expressed
considerable surprise, and even dissatisfac-
ton, at the readiness manifested by Lord
WELLESLEY to supply his place in the Fo-
