TURKISH AFFAIRS.
Vienna papers give advices from Constan-
tinople to the 25th July. They state, that
the defensive preparations were prosecuted
with extended activity That the Sultan
had enjoined Ibrahim not to listen TO any
conditions for the evacuation OF the Morea
that he was taking extraord mary meas
ures to replenish his treasury, and had trip
led and quadrupled the taxes OH the Chris
tians of his empire.
The Paris ConStitutionelle. gives Constan-
tinople advices to the Goth July, which rep
resented things as highly favorable to the
cause of the Turks, and that the Porte was
inspired with fresh courage. They added,
that the Russians had been defe Rted, with
great loss by sorties from Varna, Widden,
Rudschuck, Shumla, and Guiergevo that
the levy en- mdsSe in consequence, had been
more easy; that $4,000 men had enrolled
themselves 20 join Chosreu Pas>ha; and that
the volunteers to defend the capital amount
ed to 100000 men. They add, further, that
the cutting off the ears of prisoners had
been forbidden that the Sultan and his
Viceroy in Egypt had forbidden Ihrahim to
ipotentiary would be sent to Corfu; and
that Hussean Pacha had been compelled to
destroy Turkish regiment at Schumla to
repress the JanissaIy spirit among the troops
there. 1t was reported at Constantinople
that the Russians had taken Erzerum.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, July &c.
For some days past, news has been spread
of victory gained over the Russians by
Hassein Pacha. However, the inhabitants
of Pera will not believe any thing of it, ex-
cept that considerable corps of Turkish
cavalry may have surprised the vanguard of
the Russians at Bazardjik, and have caused
it considerable loss, until sufficient rein
forcements arrived from the Russian camp
Hassein Pacha has caused Ejoub Pacha
to be beheaded, who did not sufficiently de-
fen6 himself on the Danube. The tranquil
ity of the capital has not been disturbed
but the powder magazines at st. Stefano, on
the road to Bougas, the most considerable
of those belonging to government, have
been blown up, which under present cir
cumstances, is very severe loss. The Sui
tan has therefore ordered that 500 of the
richest Schismdtic .4rmenians, and 500 rich
Greeks, shall be compelled to make good this
loss.
BRussELs, Aug. %.
We have received news from the Russian
army in Turkey to the 9th July.
The Head Quarters of the Emperor,
and the second ccTps, were on the Goth near
BGdkyk. not far from Schumia. On the
same day they We're removed to the heights
which the advanced guards occupied in the
battle of the Goth. We are within cannon
snot Of the enemy, who does not make any
resistance.
Lieut.. Nozakow reports, that on the
Goth the Turks attacked the right wing of
the corps besieging Varna, but that they
were repulsed with great loss.
Seen. Roth arrived on the 21st, within
four miles of Silistria. He fell in with 1000
Turkish horse, attacked, and drove them
back, with the loss of 200 killed, and a great
number wounded. He invested Silistria on
the same day. The garrison has been in
armed inhabitants.
MAJ. Gen. Zyrora reports, that on the
18th he entered BGzprad, and found there
100 of the enemy, of which 40 were killed,
and the others driven out of the place."
The German papers give only rumors
from the theatre of war. Some affirm, that
SO far from Schumls having been taken, the
Grand Duke Michael had been cut off there
with his corps. On The other hand Berlin
journal afirms, that news had been receiv-
ed of the capture of Schuma, and that the
Russians purchased the victory with the
loss of considerable number of men, hat
found there great quantity of provisions,
which proved very welcome supply to the
Russian army, which began to be in want.
This last account disagrees with preceding
reports, which represented the Turkish
army at Schumla as being in great want of
provisions.
A Berlin private letter of the 5th August
says, "the Russian army instead of losing
its time in endeavoring to force the defiles
lot the Balkan, appears to intend marching
along the coast of the Black Sea, in order
to turn the position of Schumla. If this
maneuvre should succeed, there can be no
doubt of the Russians reaching the walls of
ConstantlnoPle the present campaign"
