terrupted for an instant and. another proof
OF his Indifference, he has not allowed the
sacred standards to be unfurled. These are
unequivocal signs that the war inspired him
with no alarm, whilst he neglected no pre-
cautions which could contribute to battle the
designs of ,he enemy.
1t is said that the Russian prisoners taken
at Est Starnboul were all massacred in fit
of rage. Their number is stated at 5 or
600 men.
VIENNA, Sept. 10.
We are still without any details of the
late events before Varna, but il is generally
believed that they have been unfavorable
to the Russians. 1t is affirmed that the
Captain Pacha has orders to defend the for

any equalization, however honorable.
quick sailing vessel is said to have been
despatched to Odessa to apply for reinforce
ments. The vigorous sallies from the for
tresses on the Danube seem to be connect
ed with the general plan of the Turks for
this campaign, and it is said that in conse-
quence of the sally from Wiidin, Gen. Gels
mar will exchange the command in Little
Wallachia for a command in the army be-
fore Schumla.
Letters from Constantinople to the 28th,
and from Smyrna to the 18th ult. confirm
the intelligence of the insurrectionary plot
among the Turkish troops. One of the let
tiers endeavors to give the affair new
character, by stating that the rebellion was
J extensive, and that the plot had been dis
covered 10 be promoted by the emissaries
of Russia. The disaffection appeared a.

faction for the restoration of the Janissaries.
All accounts agree in stating that the move
ment has proved the great vigilance and
determination of the Sultan. Between
three and four hundred of the conspirators
were bowstringed at the Seven Towers,
and their bodies thrown into the Bosphorus.
The accounts entirely contradict the i'm
preston that the Porte would listen to any
terms from Russia.
One of the Turkish Ministers is reported
to have said that the Sultan was greatly
pleased at the interference of England with
Russia, and the reported missions for the
purpose of moderating the tone ofthe Au-
tocrat, but that no mediation would be of
the least avail, as nothing but the sword
should decide the quarrel. The troops de-
tached to the frontier continue to march in
masses of ten thousand and FIVE thousand.
1t is confidently believed among the Turks
that their forces had been most successful
that the Emperor of Russia had deserted
his Amy on account of the repeated de-
feats and the decrease; and that he was
nearly intercepted in his flight.
A Turkish fotilla has succeeded in get
ting into Varna with ammunition and pro-
visions.
BERLIN, Sept. 10.
1t is affirmed that the Russian army, as
soon as the Emperro reaches it, will pass the
Balkan in great mass at one point, and
will advance against Adrianople without
regarding the fortresses and local him

The idea now entertained here of the re-
suit OF the operations against the Turks, is
very different from that conc eived at the
beginning Of the year. Almost every body

Constantinople this year, even ifthey should

the Black Sea. The season is far advanc-

officers agree in opinion that the operations
of the Russians should he suspended for the
present, except so far as may be necessary
to keep their positions, and that more
favorable season should be awaited
ODESSA, Sept. 3.
Since his Majesty's departure the diplo-
matte body are preparing to follow him to
Kustendji, whittier Count Nesselrode will
soon go. By the last accounts from the
Head Quarters at Bazardjik, the Turks had
made an attack on our positions on the night
ofthe 9th Aug. A new expedition, intended
against Burgos, is preparing at Sebastopol
and Nicolajeu.
HERMANSTADT, Sept. 3.
The late accounts of the surprise of some
Russian retIoubts before Shuma, Aug. 81,
seem to be confirmed. According to some
accounts. probably exaggerated, the Rus
sian loss amounted to 5000 men killed, and
II pieces of cannon.
CONsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 26.
All the troops which were in the forts of
the Dardanelles have been summoned to
the capital. This would excite little notice,
as the King Of England's speech affirmed
that Russia had engaged not to make any
hostile attempt on that side. But the Mus
sulmans are now disposed to consider it as
an indication that the Divan has already
opened the way to secret engagements with
England.
GREECE.
! The debarcation of the first division of
the expedition to the Morea, has been an
nounced at Paris. One brigade landed
upon the little island of Sapienza, and
another at Navarin. The Cd division was
spoken on the Both, 20 leagues from Nava-
\ rim, and would arrive the next day. Ibra-
him Pacha received the French troops in a
very friendly manner. and was preparing
