nave Deen repulSed IN all their attacks, with
the exception of one, and yet the effect of
all these disasters to the Turks is represent
ed to be the retreat of their enemies, and
the introduction of reinforcements of men,
provisions. and ammunition from Adrianople
into Schoumla. Gen. Witgenstein found il
necessary to concentrate his troops: Gen.
Rudiger was, therefore, directed to leave
Este Stamboul, and join the main army be-
fore Schoumla, and the Turks, though so
repeatedly discounted, Immediately took
advantage of the opportunity to throw rein
forcements into the fortress.
At Varna there has been incessant fight
ing. The Russians admitted that Prince
Menzikof, who had sent some cavalry with
two pieces of cannon beyond the Liman was
forced to recross it. The fleet taking adj
vantage of favorable wind sailed twice to
within 400 fathoms of its walls, and kept an
nnremtted fire, doing, it is said, great dam
| age, and suffering little in return. On the
3lst the Turks made vigorous sally on the
Russians left wing, but were repulsed with
the loss of above five hundred men; on the
eide of the Russians, the chief of the naval
staff, Prince Menzikoff was wounded in the
! legs by spent ball. On the evening of the
/ 26th the Russians took the counter approach
of the Turks and killed above one hundred
in the trenches. On the night of the 31st
the Turks made sally, but were repulsed
with loss by two companies of the Duke Of
! Wellington's regiment. They made anoth-
er sally and were again repulsed. On the
night previous, Admiral Greig had taken
some Turkish batteries, and spiked their
| guns. Nothing of a decisive character has
yet taken place here; but as the Emperor
left Odessa for Varna on the 2,t September,
1t is probable that the greatest eXertions
will be made to effecthere something worthy
of the Russian power and valor.
From Wallachia it is stated that the
Turks made fresh irruptions from Widdin
and Kalafat on the 18th, 10Th, and goth Of
4 August, when Gen. Geismar retreated to-
wards Czlatina, and the Turks secured a
large booty, with which they returned to
Kalafat. On the 22d they advanced to
within two hours march of Crajova, laying
waste the country as they proceeded but
the Russian General, at length, compelled
them to retreat.
Accounts from Bucharest of the 9th and
9th of September, state that the people o.
Moldavia and Wallachia have suffered be-
yond expression by the incursions of the
Turks. The accounts from the theatre o.
| war are by no means satisfactory. The
/, siege of Sllistria is said to be so feebly car
rled on that its surrender cannot be expect
: ed fol long time. General Roth is said tc
have been obliged to place himself beyond
} the range of the place, which ale admirably
served by the Turks.
According to an account from Constants
nople ofthe 3lst of August, Hussen Pachs
| has sent despatch to the Sultan, informing
: him that the Russians cannot pass the Bal.
kan, and that the fate of this campaign mus
be considered as decided. The advanced
guard of the Vizier's army is said to have
arrived at Schoumla.
GREECE AND TURKEY.
! Dispatches have been received from Ma
vaIino, dated the 9Th Sept On the morn
ing Of that day, the three admirals had
: conference with Ibrahim Pacha, who admit
ted the obligation imposed upon him by the
convention, to evacuate the Morea wheneve
the means of conveyance were presented t,
him. The conference was to be resumet
on the 9TH.
A belief is expressed in the Paris Moni
!, teur that the French troops will remain sta
tionafy for some time in the Morea, and vii
notundertake any hostile operations, because
the French Government, in concert with the
! British and the Austrian, wish to try the
effect of another remonstrance upon thu
Sultan, and to ascertain whether the treaty
concluded with Ibrahim Pacha, for thu
evacuation of the Morea, may not have rem
dered the Porte more disposed to accede t.
the treaty of London.

: EXPEDITION TO THE MoREA.
The Gazette de France gives the follow
!, ing details respecting the expedition 10 the
Morea, from private letter: Ibrahim is
IN person at Patras, where he went to pro.
cure provisions. A few days since he was
3 abandoned by the Albanians, who, not re.
ceivlng their pay, quilted Patras, after hav.

, support siege, but is only defended by sis
or eight hundred men, how could it posi-
bly, hold out against our artillery by lane
and sea? We, therefore, expect to have
soon settled the business with this little
place, fortified in the Venitian style, anc
deprived of all possibility of relief. 1t ap

afterwards move against Patras, in which
