LATE FROM EUROPE.

RUssIA.--An extraordinary supplement to the St.
Petersburgh Gazette, OF the gath May, contains
port from the theatre of War; dated 10th May. Blu
charst, the report states occupied the 18th by
the vanguard Of the 9th Cavalry corps. The rapdity
OF the Russian advance saved the capital of Modavia
from the ruin that threatened it, The fortress of Bra
low was invested the l1th; the 18th the heavy
cannon arrived; and on the 18th the Grand Duke
Michael, to whom the siege especially entrusted,
arrived 1t is thought that it hold out long las
the paceis weak. No action of any importance had
taken place up to the date of the report which is made
by Gen. Wittgensein. So much for the authenticity
OF the first bulletin. letter from Odessa ofthe 28t
May received at Berlin, the 4th inst. is equally de-
cisive Up to that date the Danube had not been pas
sed, of the swollen state of the RIVER The
Emperor and Empress arrived at Odessa from Bender
on the 9th. His Majesty had been three days at
Brailow, whittier he intended to return the 29h.--
The Prussian States Gazette of the 9th inst staes
the authority of the later accounts, that the suburbs
of Braow had been taken, and that the Danube would
very shortly be passed at lsmael the troops when
passed w ould march direct on Schumla.
The Russian declaration OF war arrived at Constan-
tnople the 18th, and was the subject Of Divan
that sat in deliberatlon it the following day. The
consequence has beeFEn order OF the Sultan calling
every male betweeiIf2 and 60 to hold himself IN
readiness take up The Sultan and the Grand
Vizer are still at Constantinople; but Hussein Pa
cha to set out for Bulgaria, to take command of
the ir egu!ars there. The regulars, amounting to 3d.
600 men, commanded by ltabli Pacha, had in part left
the city for the Danube The defence of the city had
been committed to the Seraskier, Chosrew Mehem-

OF travels published by Dr. Walsh, are OF so formlda-
bic description that during the last war the Russia ms
did not dare even to attempt them. They five in
number---three leading OH AdrianOple, and two on
Constantnople. The mountain tribes of the Balkan
are the expert, fearless and bold horsemen in
country where ali men ride we'll and all men are
brave.
The counterfeit Russian Bulletins stated that the
battles had taken place The advance near Sstria,
III which so or $1,000 men we're engaged on the 18th
and 18th; the last day battles had been fought.
These reports winch are now certainly known to
have been complete fabrication, estimate the loss
on both sides to have been about "A 900 killed and
wounded.
TURKEY.--The passage of the Pruth by the Rus
SLAMS had been karwn at the capital the 18th. The

made to the European Ministers, requesting them to
inform their respective Courts, that the Porte "was
going the fortune of defence of its iucOn-
testibe rights, and that it would submit to have

BY another proclamation, the Faithful have been or
dered not to give receive quarter in the approaching
