as none Of the Foreign ENJOYS, except such
as are military men, will accompany the
I Emperor to head quarters. 1t seems 10 be
his Majesty's intention in the present cam
paign to continue his operations beyond the
Balkin, after the capture of Varna, and to
contine himself during this time to keep
Z Choumla invested by a considerable corps.
The army before that place endeavors to
press it more closely every dav, but this
enterprise is attended with great difficulty,
/ for cavalry corps of 1000 men lately made
a sortie, and attacked a Russian convoy.
/ They killed a great number of men form
! ing the escort, and carried off upwards of
/ 100 head ofcattle. On the 18th, the Flora
and the standard frigates sailed with troops
( for Varna."
CRAJovA, Aug. 20.
! A few days ago it was rumored that the
/ Russians, to the number of 1000 men, had
/ gained an important advantage over the
Turks at Ada; but yesterday intelligence
was received from the Russian camp at
Colony that the Turks were advancing and
the Russians corps retreating Hitherto
the Turks cautioned at Calefas, who endur-
ed privatlons of every kind, confined them
selves to make acquisitions in the interior
of the country. But after the arrival of
Pacha with $4,000 Arnauts, they marched
to the number of 10000, against the Rus
sian corps. Gen. Geismar, who felt that
he was not sufficiently strong to resist num-
( hers so superior, ordered his forces to re-
treat on the 18th, and left in the power of
the enemy all the Russian camp, with
considerable quantity of provisions and ma
terlas for bridges. 1t is added that the
Turks overlook Gen. Geismar's corps ut
Czoroi, and caused him considerable loss.
Couriers we're Immediately sent off to Bu-
charest for reinforcements. Numerous
herds of oxen have been driven TO Widden
by the Turks"
A commercial letter of the 18th ult. from
Constantinople contains the follow ing intel
! iigence =" according to all appearance
( the war will still continue for long period
as the Turks fight with ex traordinary valor.
! The actions that have itherto taken place
near Chounla, Varna, and Silstria, have
neen most obstinate and bloody 1t seems
that the Russian feet is obliged to hold off
from Narna at distance hey ond the reach
of a cannon. If the Turkish fleet had not
suffered so severely at Navarno, the Rus
SLAMS would now experience vigorous re-
slstance by sea. The grand camp at this
} moment establishing upon the heights round
the capital and at the fresh-water springs,
will, If the hopes of the Turks be realized
consist of 100000 men, and 80 600 Asiatic
horsemen. Within eight days many troops
and horses from Asia have disembarked
The Grand Seignor will take the command
t of the camp. Upon all the roads the Raiahs
: are stopped and sent to labor at the en-
] trenchments, which will he mounted with
300 pieces of cannon. Every one takes
, arms to reinforce the camp; and hence the
capital is comparatively deserted. 1t is

, the army to- morrow with 40.OO0men. The
fanaticism of the people has recently been
carried to high pitch, hut the capital, new
ertheless, remains tranquil"

A courier of Gen. Paskewitch has ar
: rived with news Of the captures ofAchas-

AS relates to his Majesty's departure for
headquarters, previous journey is an
nounced to Sebastopol and the envrons,
where the Emperor will inspect the military
: preparations of the troops, and will not dis
embark until the 10th ofSept. at Chiustenza,
! from whence he will repair to head-qual tiers.
1t is hoped that the fate of Varna will be
decided by that time.
Neutral merchant vessels bring us news
from Constantinople to the 18th ut. The
Grand Vizier was yet at Daub- Pacha, and
1t was supposed that the discovery of a new
conspiracy of the Janissaries, in conse-
quence of which, several persons had been
arrested and executed, had retarded his
> voyage. Some letters say that the stand
