FOREIGN NEWS.

nave Deen received at
New J ork. The intelligence from the
seat OF war continues to be unfayoursble
to the Russian arms, but it is quite prob
aoie, that, as no part of the intelligence
appears to be of a very authentick char
acter, the disasters of the Russians az.
very much exaggerated. 1t is evident
that the Russian emperour under-rat.
ed the resistance which the Turks were
capable OF making, and has been compelI-
ed to close the campaign, without HAVING
forced the passes of the Balcan mounta;n
and to retire from part of the ground
which his troops had occupied, with con-
siderable loss; probably much more from
sickness than from the sword. But we

will be compelled TO abandon his principal
conquests.-Bost. Dai. Adv.
The Queen Dowager of Wurtenburub
sister of the King of England, is dead. :

r. NJ. The Journal du Commerce re.
ceived by the mail brings accounts from
Frankfort to the 9th inst. stating that al
though no official accounts had been pub-
llshed for several days past private letters
have been received from Berlin, saving.
that the second army under the command
OF Count Wittgenstien, was dispersed.
Whole regiments of cavalry were dis
mounted the want of water was so great
that three roubles were given for bottle
OF water. 1t was reported on the Change
at Frankfort that the seige of Varna was
raised, and that the Russian Army was in
full retreat to the Danube.
LIVERPOOL, Ger. Is. We have moth
ing to add to the accounts from the seat
OF war given in another part of our paper.
except that dispatches were received on
Thursday morning from Lord Heytesbury
dated from Odessa, on the Goth, and con-
veying intelligence from Varna of the 2lst
ult., at which period the place had not
surrendered, nor had any assault been
made upon it.
Dispatches have also been received
from Lord Stuart de Rothesay, but they
do not contain any publick news of impor-
lance.
The following appears in the Gazette
de France Of Sunday last, (Oct. 10y =
Z" PARIS Ger. III. We have received
letters from Odessa of the Goth Septem-
Der. No doubt was entertained of the
taking of Varna but it was known that
the Russian army was in distressed con-
dition, and that the Emperour desires
peace. If we may believe the letters from
Bucharest, the Turks have assumed the
offensive. The corns of Gen. Roth has

at the head of re, 900 men, who flattered
himself that he should destroy them, fall
on the rear of the army besieging Varna,
relieve that town, and terminate the cam
paign by compelling the whole of the
Russian army to general attack"
Dutch papers, received on Monday last,
contain the following -
" BERLIN, Der. g. On the Goth Of
September, manifesto was issued at St.
Petersburgh, ordering levy of four men
of every 500 of the population. The levy
is to extend to the whole empire, with the
exception of Besserabia and Georgia. The
PREAMBLE of the manifesto is in the fol-
lowing terms -" Notwithstanding the
success ofour arms in the present war
against the Ottoman Porte, and our sin
cere wish to put an end to hostilities, the
enemy, by his refusal to listen to our pro-
posals for peace, and by his obstinacy
obliges us to take new measures for pros
cecuting this war, and we consider it nee
essary to make our army complete. Els
timating the population liable to the levy
now ordered, at 10000, 900, the number
ofrecruits will be 100000 men.
Hamburger papers to the 18th inst. have
since been received, from which we ex-
tract the following -
ODESSA, SEPT. % We learnfrom our
camp before Varna, that the Captain Pa
cha, after most of the houses, and great
part of the Notifications had been destroy
ed, has asked to leave the town unmolest-
ed. This proposal was rejected by Count
Worownow. Further accounts were i'm
patiently expected. The news from Asia
continues to be favourable, and the victo-
rious progress of Gen. Paskewitsch has
| exceeded the most sanguine expectations.
After the departure of the Empress and Of
Count Nesselrode, the official bulletins
will no longer be published, but at St
Petersburgh. The diplomatick body is
still here, and will return to st. Peters
