Paskewiich, who has opened the campaign
with brilliant success. Ii was garrisOned
by 10000 Turks, 1000 Of whom we're kill
led and wounded, 5000 paroled, and 1900
taken prisoners. The Russians lost 200
men.
Choumla and its neighbOuring fortifca-
tionS are defended by 14OO cannon, most
ly of iron and the Turks who seem highly
eated with prospect of SuccesS since their
late engagements with the enemy evinced
The greatest bravery and firmness. The
religious fanataCism that now inspires the
army, is solely to be attributed to the inde-
fatigable exertions of the Commander-in-
chief HuSsein Bey.
FROM CONSTANTINOPLE
Our advices are to the 10th of August.
A proclamation was issued on the 9th, sum-
moning meeting of the members of the
Dlvan. Advices to the 9th state that the
Sultan had proceeded to the pr e of the
Rorte, where, after conferenCs1o three
hours duration with the Grand Vizier'
and the most distinguished members of the
Ottoman Cabinet, it was resolved that
the Grand Vlzler should forthwith depart:
for the army defending Choumla. The de-
cision was hailed by The people with the
most enthusiastic demonstrations of joy, &,
greeted with the most splendid festivities
A letter Of the 9Th says:
"The departure of the Vizier for the,
camp of PauA Pach, will take place on the,
9 h, and his arrival at the Main Army the,
Is h. The armng of the citizens is vigor-
ously prosecuted, and the LIST division of
the militia IS on its march the en- rench-
ments at Lille and Karaburu, on the coast
of the Black Sea. Solemn prayers have
been offered up by the Sultan and the peo-
pie, for the Safety of the descendants of Os-
man, and the children of the prophet. In
deed the enthusiasm Of all ranks has reach
ed the highest pitch, and to conquer or die
seems the general determination Of the
Turkish ma in. TT nquility reigns thro'
he city, Notwithstanding the warlike bus
lie among the citizens, and the prices of
provisions has undergone no change.

dated Angus 9th, says:

er the gates of he palace, with the usual
ceremony IN the presence of all the Minis
gers and vast concourse of inhabitants,
who made the air resound with their accla-
nations. Hadi Efendi, who was one of

H'ghness appears determin to m h in
,,erson against the Russians, IDS soon as they
approach that city. 1t is announced that
irman is about to be published, ordering
the Mussulmen foreman immovable at the
posts assigned them. The life of Solely
man Pach', to whom the defence Of Brah-
low was entrusted, may be considered in
danger, as he has been brought hither from
Choumla in chains. Several thousands of
Asiatic soldiers have just marched to join
he army.
