Hamburger papers to the 18th Of August re-
ceived IN London on the morning Ofthe goth,
by the steam packet, cOntainWOme additional
accounts Of the proceedings of the Russians
before Shumla II appears that the Russians
TO ths amount of u, 900 or 1900 men, had
made their appearance before the place, and
portion had attacked the OutwOrks under
the command of the emperor, but were obi
ged to retreat with an ncOnsiderable loss.
The accounts with respect to the plague a
mOng the Russian army appear to have been
exaggerated. In WalIachia the plague existed
to limited extent.
1t is stated in a private letter received at
Lond"n on the goth, by respectable mercan-
tile house connected with the Baltic trade, that
large quantity of copper belonging to the
Turkish Government had been seized s. car
ried away by some Russian vessels of war;
The copper is represented as being of cOnsd-
cradle value, aud was lodged on the shores of
the Black Sea. No particulars are given, but
1t is added that an eminent Loan Contractor
has been in treaty with the Turkish authori
ties for the purchase of the copper which had
not finally Terminated.
The French papers announce the arrival of
Mr.. StratfOrd Canning at Ancona, On the goth
and state on the authority ofletters from Mos
COW, that the Russian troops under General
Paskewistch, have taken the fortress of Bag
dad by storm.
A report had been received at Constantine,
PIE of victory obtained by Hussen Pacha,
1.-THE Seraskipr,) over the Russians. This was
not believed by the inhabitants of Pera.
In addition to the other rulnors which we
have noticed respecting Turkey, it is stated,
that the Magazine of St. Stephano had explo-
ded and that 600 Turks 8, 200 Jews had been
killed by the accident. st. Stephano is upon
the road to Bougas. The Sultan has there
fore ordered that 500 of the richest Armeni-
aus and 500 rich Greeks shall make good this
loss.
An Alexandria date of the 18th says--that
the Pacha had been confirmed in his post, by
the Porte at high price. Contributions are
pressed severely in this country; on the Del
ia some Of the people have burnt their hous-
es and gone off. A letter from Ibrahim was
received that day asking advice. and express
ing wish to return.
Prince Philip of Hesse Hamburg. who is 60

Gaiatz on the ed of July.
Frontiers of Bosnia, July 12.
On the 10th of June, Adunahman Pacha,
Governor Of Bosnia, received by Capdgi

communicating the manifesto issued by the
Porte, commanded him to march 100000 Bos.
mans partly towards the river Dwina, to OBJ
serve the Servians, and partly through Scoura
to Widdin, aud it also ordered that the newly
organised troops should re clothed before they
began their march with the new uniforms sent
fer that purpose. Abdunahman PaLha gave
notice that this frman should be read the next
day inthe great Mosque at Sara levO, when the

well as the Captains and Beys of the Selmen
and Spahis with deputations of their Ortas
were to appear but the Captains and Beys
intimated their wish that the frman might he
read by a M llah ia the camp near Sara jevo,
in order that the words of the Sultan might
be heard by all the troops in the Camp; they
also requested the Governor to attend the
ceremony in person, which he promised to do.
Abdunahman. who appears to have conceived
some suspicion, staid however 10 SarajevO land
sent in his stead, Bimbascha with a MOllah
to the camp, which is about half league from
the town. Statutes of artillery announced the
departure of the B:mbaschi from the fortress,
who in great pomp and surrounded by guards
and accompanied by a Mulch, appeared in
the CAMP and was therefore taken for the
Governor himself, who was personally I'M
known to great part of the troops. Soon rs
the Mollah had finished reading the firman,th
troops 10 the camp broke out INTO impreca-
tons against the Sultan and against Abdunah
man Pacha, whom they called a traitor. AT
the same moment several muskets were fired
at the Bimbaschi and Mollah. who were killed
on the spot and. at the same time. the uni
fern sent to the new troops were torn in pie
ces and burnt by the enraged mutineers. The
Pacha's guard fired on the rebels, but were OBJ
liged to give way to superior numbers leaving
sixty dead behind them. HerfupOn the whole
camp proceeded to Sarajeyo,n order to COM
pei the household troops of Abdunahman Pa
cha whom they supposed to be dead. to leave
the place, and give up the forts to the rebels.
But Abdunahman Pacha, already informed Of
what had happened in the camp, ordered the
gate of the fort of TusIaham to be- shut, upon
which fire Of musketry was kept up on both
sides, during the day in which some hundreds
were killed.
On the 5th day, after these events. negocia
tons were opened between Abdunahman Pa
cha and the rebels. in consequence of which,
the governor and his household were allowed
to retire unmoIested. on condition that like his
predecessor, he should fix his residence at
Traynik, and govern Bosnia according to an
Giant rncton, IN which Ahdunahman agreed
