GEN. ANDREW IACKSON-
LATES FROM EUROPE.

II Il.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28.-Ry The arrival of the Ju-
hns Ca'sar, ut this port, from Liverpool, a Liverpool
paper was received at the Coffee House, of the 2Ist
October. The state of the markets will be found ia
another coluinl-they arefavorable. w have nothing
by tins arrival much more satisfactory from the seat
Oh war ti!sn Yas received by the way of New York,
eight days since
The report Of the Russian defeat before Shumla, is
amply confirmed.
Russia ard 7fuyheu.-The contents of the French
papers ot Wednesday are of considerable Importance.
The Intelligence which they supply from the seat OF
war IN the east, though neither derived from official
authority nor strengthened by precise dates and cir
cuinstances, confirms 'hc acknowledgements previous
y received oithe repulsc OF tic Russian army before
Siiurnla, and the disasters of It's retreat towards the
Danube. Indeed the absence of all official notices
from the Russian commanders, sufficiently proves the
certainty Of the failure, and the extent Of their losses.
TIEHNA, Oct. G.-The mail from Odessa Of the
26th OF September has arrived, and brings no news OF
any consequence, except the departure Of the En-
press, which took place on tie 2lst.
RxtKls, Oct. 10 We have received from Buchar-
est 1he following letter, dated the Goth OF September.
=" ne news which we have Just received from the
theatre OF war, confirm every thing which has been
announced for this week past, respecting the move
ulent6 OF the Russian army before Shumla, and its re-
treat. The Russians, III order to cover the CORDS
which, were retiring, continued to occupy some in
trcncnments, but after having bTHYely defended tn en-,
they evacuated them; probably on learning that the
GranG SIzlcr was marching by the road from Adrian
opie To the relief OF Varna.
IIussein Boy had followed the remuins of the army
from Shumla on the road to DazaTdlik, and detached
another corps ON the road to- Silistra and Hirsowa. in
order to take advantage of the late events before the
first OF those places, and threatened the communica-
tons of the Russians on the Danube. The Russian
head-quarteIb were still at BazardIik on the 10Th in
slant, but the difficulties in saving the material of the
army, IN the midst of the general distress, were i'm
menBc."
We have also learned, by way OF Trieste, that the
Greek inhabitants Of Prevesa. have revolted against
the Turks, whose garrison had taken refuge in the CT
tadel, where it is besicged by the Greeks.
Other accounts from Augsburg, Frankfort and Der.
lin, are still moro disastrous; they represent the re-
treat of the Russians as rapid and d~isorderly. A con-
yoy Of hay had arrived, but had been Immediately con-
sumcd; and as long as It lasted the horses of the ca
valry and artillery were fed with flour, but even that
resource is said to have failed; and the mortality
among the horses was 80 great, that only four thou
sand mounted cavalry remained out of the whole ar
my to protect its retreat. Some accounts, indeed. 60
80 far rs to assert that tho whole of Wittrenstein s
army had disbanded itself.
We have no intelligence. from Varna later than
the 2l6t, but every body infers that it had not fallen nj
a much later period, because, if it had, the Russians
would have been glad to have published it as a kind
of set of against the retreat of the army from before
Chuu,l,
The success of his arms NAV naturally he sipnozed
to have increased the pretensions of the Sultan. The
ConstantlDople articles say that ne will not listen to
any overture for negotiation till the Russians have
rCpassed the Danube and evacuated the Personalities.
The Turks have been successful in several sorties
from Giurgcvo, on the Danube. They evince a mill
tary skill which the Christian powers have hitherto
been tar from lmputing TO them; indeed, it is now said
that there must be Christian officers amonO them.
The Turks, as well as the Egyptians, appear to no
leaving the MOrea. The Sultan appears determined
To resist all G~Xertions to procure his Acknowledgement
Of Grccian independence.
Great hopes arc entertained IN EDgiend, that the
