was received OF the 2lst October.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The contents Of
the French papers are Of considerable I'M
poriance. The intelligence which they
supply from the seat of wal in the east, con
/ firms the general statements previously re-
celved of the repnlse OF the Russian Ar
my before Shumla, and the disasters of its
retreat towards the Dannbe. Indeed the
absence of all official notices from the Rus
sian commanders. sufficiently proves the
certainty of the failure, and the extent of
THEN losses.
BUCHAREST, Sept. 20.
The news which We have Just received
! from the thestre of war, confirm every thing
which has been announced for this week
past respecting the movements of the Rus
sian army before Shumla, and its retreat.
The Russians, in order to cover the corps
which were retiring, continued TO occupy
some Entertainments, hut after having brave
! ly defended them, they evaruaied them
probably on learning that the Grand Vizier
was marching by the road from Adrianople
to the relief of Varna.
Hussein Bey had followed the remains of
the army from Shumla on the road 10 Ba-
zar'Ijk, ana detached another corps on the
road to S,listria and Hlrsowa, in order TO
take advantage of the late events before the
| fist of those places, and threatened the
communications of the Russians on the
/ Danube The Russian headquarters were
still ut Ba2arliik OH the 18th instant, hut
the difficulties in saving the mdteriel If the
army, in the midst OF the general distress,
were immense.

\ We learn, by way of Trieste, that the
/ Greek inhabitants of Prevesa have revolted
against the Turks, whose garrison had
taken refuge in the citadel, where it Is be
sieged hy the Greeks.
Other accounts from Augsburg, Frank
fort, and Berlin, are most disastrous; they
represent the retreat of the Russians as
rapid and dsordeIly. A convoy of hay had
arrived, but had been Immediately cOnsum-
ed and us long as it lasted the horses OF
, the cavalry and artillery were ted with
-four, but even that resource is SAID to have
failed; and the mortality among the horses
was so great, that only four thousand mount
ell cavalry remained out of the whole army
to protect its retreat. Some accounts, in
| deed, 90 so far as to assert that the whole
of Wittgenstein's army had dlshanded itself
, We have no intelligence from Varna lat
er than the 2lst, but every hody inters thai
J it had not fallen mt much later period

been glad to have published it as a kind o
set off against the retreat of the army from
, before Chumla.
The success of his arms may naturally be
+ supposed to have increased the pretensions

, say that he will not listen to any overture
