Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1828-09-20
LATEST FROM EUROPE.


BY The packet ship John Jay, Captain Hold
ridge, arrived a, New.York from Liverpool, the
editors of the Commercial Advertiser have re-
ceived London papers to the 9TH Of August in
elusive.
The Paris papers--the Gazette de France, in
particulae-of the 5th Aug. holds out the hope,
on the authority of recent letters from Vienna,
that the war itself will be brought to speedy
termination, by means Of an amicable arrange
ment. 1t is said that report to this effect was
generally current in that capital, and obtained
rise in the funds. II is added that the Courts
of Vienna and London are conjsin,ly using all
their influence to induce the Emperor Nicholas
to listen to pacific over,ures from the Porte, and
that he has even signi6ed his assent, on coudi-
ton that several fortresses, particularly SiIis-
tria, Giurgevo and Vsrna, are placed in his
hands as security against change Of purpose
on the par, OF the Porte. The Morning Herald
oil Aug. z lis incredulous as 10 this, aud says
"Thongh the part ascribed to England & Aus.
tria is probable enough, we have great doubts
that the Russian Monarch has made the COM
planes ascribed to him; and, in confirmation
Of this opinion, we have observed that not a
hin, ola pacific nature has appeared in any Of
the Russian Bulletirs.">
The PrLssian State Gazette TO the so,h ofJu-
ly, and Hamburger papers To the % OF August,
had been received in London. The former cons
which ma rked the march Of the Russian army
from Karassu to BazarGjik.
II was on the 9th that the head quarters, to
which was joined :l.r 9th corps, broke up from
the former place. The 9TH corps, under the
command Of General Wernoff, followed the
steps OF the former two days later this interval
being secessary TO prevent confusion in the
march Of Two such considerable masses The
head quarters were three days in proceeding
from Karaesus TO Bajardlik, distance Of 80
werss, or ahou, fifty English miles: and as the
Emperor is always al the post Of honor; or al
the head Of his army, i; will be easily imagined
wha, powerful influence this must have on the
spirits Of his troops. However, this m ovemcDl
was not executed without opposition, though
too slight to obstruct it in serious manner.
On The second day the 7!h,l smart action
took place between body Of Turkish cavalry,
amou ming to about 1000, who had come from
Schumla, & the head Of the Russian vanguard,
commanded BY General Rudiger. The Turks
were the assailants, s. appeared 10 have attacked
with their usual impetuoslly; but the Russians
receiving continually fresh reinforce ments, the
former were finally repulsed, and, during the
rest Of the march did not venture To reaew the
attack. Afer the engagement, they retired in
to wood about two miles hey ond Bazardjik,
where they s2ent the night, but fed at the
break Of day, on seeing the Russians make a
demonstration to dislodge them.
On the llth, as we stated on Monday, the
head quarters were established at Bazardjik,
having spent the intermediate time in awaiting
the arrival uf the corps under Gen. Rothe be-
fore Silist,ia, of which il is to undertake the
siege In the mean time, strong division was
detached towards Varna, with orders to invest
that important plact; and as il is invested by
sea al the same lime ADMIRAL Greig, with the
fee, under his command, having received or
ders TO that eh(rct-there is but too much rea>
son to apprehend that it will share the fate Of
Arapa, and Of the other forlresses that have
already fallen into the hands Of the Russians.
From all that has already occsrred, il is clear
that the Turks ate incapable OF making seri-
Gus resistance; S that they over rated their own
means as much as they under valued those OF
thrir grea, rival, when they provoked the latter
| TO mortal combat.
The 10Th Russian Bulletin, gave but sum.
mary account Of the preceding movements,
merely stating that "the enemy were in.me-
diately repulssd, and took flight" This ach-
ed London on The An; and the foregoing infor>
nation has subsequently, been derived from
other official accounts. The Courier says,
there was more fighting than they had at first
been led to suppose, and adds: IL appears,
,hat when the vanguard, under Gen. Rudiger,
was marching to Mangaii, and before the head
quarters had been removed from Karassou, a
division Of Turkish cavalry, from Silis,ria, had
proceeded towards Bazardjik, but retired upon
the advance OF the Russian General. 1t seems
