The London papers speak Of the retreat OF
The Russians from before Slumla, as an even,
oil whics there was no doubt; and the Coniie'
represents IL as nearly Ms DISASTROUS as that OF
er-ths krsach ar.uy from Russia, IN 1912.
The Mornine Herald furnishes the substance
OF three late Russian bulletins, detailing the
SEPARATIONS before Saunla aud Varna. The po-
si.ion Of the Russians before Shumla, was the
~ sassc rs at previous dates, the Imperial head
e.. quat,ers being st Baxagik. Part Of the for:if-
saiions on the northern side Of Varna, towards
The sea, had been ovcr,hrown, but nothing
h said in the b 'lie,in of its probable surrender.

"a tn The movements Of The Russian army before
Si,dnria, aud its retreat,
NHHr Tho Russians, liz order to cover the corps
sas which were retiring. continued to occupy some
cnirsnclimeD,s but after having bra,ely defend
cd them, they evacuated them, probably on
learning that The Grand ViZier Was marching
eaebyA the road from Adrianople 10 the relief OF
3 Varna.
We have learned, by way Of Trieste, that
the Greek Inha oitants of prevesa have reyolIed
agams, The Turks, whose garrison kept refuge
fe im the citadel, where il is ~besiesed by the
Greeks.
Otbcr accounts from Augsburgh, Frankfort
and Berlin, are sill more DISASTROUS; they rep
'a resent the retreat Of the Russians as rapid and
dssoSderly. A convoy Of hay had arrived, but
H.. had been Immediately consumed; and as long
Se it lasted. The horses Of the cavalry and ar
tillery were fed with lour, but even that re-
? source is sad TO have failed: aud the mortality
among the horses was so great, that only four
thousand mounted cavalry remained out Of the
whole army TO protocrits retreat.
We have no intelligence from Varna, later
than Tim 2fst, but every body mfcrs that il had
q not iallrn at a much later period, because, it
IL had, The Russians would have been glad to
have published j: as a KIND Of set oil against
the retreat OF the army before ShInla.
The success OF his army may naturally b:
aipp~od 10 have Increased the pretensions Of
tho Sul,an. The ConsIa@tinoplo articles say
that no will moi listen TO any overture for ne
gotIniion. ill the Russian have ro-passeJ the
Danube and evacuated the Principaliiics.

NJ. Hesberi who had an equally violent ios'e

His heart licked rapidly as the moment mp
preached, aud yet mora So when he bethought
him Of The we'll laden board prepared in honor

horror, when tho lady, at the very altar, an
Bsunced lscr resolution 10 strike not one, but

WAS instantly citel before the local tribunal,
where her abandoned lover also appeared, with
sn account nearly as long as Lord Corhrane's
celebrated proctoris Bill exhibited before the
HOnss Of Commons bill Of particulars, not
Of hs sufarings or his tbroes, but composed Of
the dot Ss Of the value Of tho watch makers

And numerous othcrs, rising in amount as the

rings and earrings; necklaces and buckles;
e"iifeheis aud eoierettes; caps, ribands and
gloves; with tho pransatory preparations for
tho OCCASION, a barrel Of winc, four bottles Of
brandy, meat. bread, pepper, vinegar, oil, sal
lads and cheese; including twelve rabbits, ed

with the value Of all aud every item duly an

francs as general damages.-La demoiselle APP
peared in prop ia persona to defend her infer
es's. She took to pieces the component parts
Of NJ. 'Hcrbert's accounts, and PIT in order
and regmt ted the watcl-maksr's memoire,
which, sho pretended, went much too fdst.-
The rabbits, however, for which il seems she
had a natural distas;o. particularly excited her
Indignation, for she f1rcibly objected 10 the
sum Of Eve francs, at which they were valued
by her former sutton BY applying the words of
a French Poet
"Onionrez qn'i soft f,i M rapport a In cour,
DE Flcrie qu' un ispin lent Munger en- un jour"

horologer seem less to have impressed The
Court than tho cloquence Of the fair defend
ant; for his appeal was dismissed aud each
party directed to pay their own cosis.-French
