Lay6dch, July Q.
Courier from Constantinop.e has brought news
OF great Importance. On the 18th of MAY, at the
rno,aent they expected the renewal o hossiies the
Turkish and Russian Ministers had sEnet ;hc Pre-
hminaries OF Peace at Bucharest and by the con-
ditons of that inconceivable treaty, the limits of
the two empires are to be the Pruth. The Porte
cedes to Russia considerable part of Modavia and
Besseraha. Couriers from Bucharest conveyed this
news to Constan,inople Prince I;a!insel order
ed immediately .Aproceed to that capital, with
numerous re.,nue and the Russians to induce the
Sublime Porte more readily to ratfy the Prelimn-
aries ordered retroSade movement If their troops,
which had previously received orders to advance on
the north. The news of the Prelinlinarics was
known on the 9th June at Constantinople, and il
produced strong sensaton---The Divan was Assem-.
oied, and it appeared that majority of the mem.
bers, gained over by England, gave their opinion.
that the Grand Seignor should ratify the Prelmina
res, but he maintaend the character which he has
manifested since he mounted the Throne, and did
not hesitate to reject the conditions which stp-
riated the giving up part OF the Ottoman terri
tory.

French papers have been received. Their con-
tents SO vouriinous and important. that did the
limits OF a weekly Journal permit, we should feel in
Iined to give them to oar readers at full ength.-
This, however, being Impossible, shall confne
ourselves TO briet recaptuation of the mpor-
tant part of their contents. The 4th and 5th buIle-
tins of the grand army are received they are dated
wilma the 9th inst. Wilma is about 2i5 miles East
of Warsaw, in lithuanis, and the head quar-
ters of the French army the date of the last Bull
IetiHs The Russians were i'm full retreat before the
French, and were devastating the country in their
way, that the French army would have desert
to pass over il the pursuit-this would be a trying
operation and would call forth al. the energies and
talents Of Banaparte, to its effects upon
his troops We shall also see it the Russians judi
cloudy pcrsevere in the system Of retreat whether
this alternative, dreadful i, is may not be made
use OF IN future wars, to stay the military of
ti,s tyrant OF Europe. A few skirmishes have Ia
Ken place between the opposing armies, but nothing
of moment beyond affair of posts. The French
army occupiee line, which beginning at Telsb, pas
ses with rather South Eastern inclination through
cands to wilma, and continues its direction South
ward to Grelno. They occupy about half the ter
rtory between the Nlemen and the Dwina
The Russians appear retreat in good order to-
wards the Dwina. Bonaparte hoped, by passing the
Kiemen, and spreading himself suddenly his right

the Russian army from the other Bv forcing tho
hrSt and second divisions under Wittigensten and
Bagration, to fall back 20 the Dwna, by Rosiena &
Wilkomir, he hoped to cut them off from Wilma
and Particularly from those corps, the larger part Of
the Russian army, whieh we're to the southwark Of
wilma, at Nov Frock, Ida, between Ida & Gro
dRo, at G;OinD aud at WiikOwish. Bagraton, the
most active and ont-rprisiug of the Russian Gene

have been the object of Bonapartes particular at
tentiOn.
