bucharest. Sept. "a.
The Russian Army. which retrealed from
before Schnmla. arrived on che 18th Sept. a,
Baiardschik. It was presumed that L wonl'
not delay 60 continue its march 60 Isaktchka
In consequence Of the daily attacks Of Huss
Elm Pacha, the general retreat 0f the Russians
may be ensily accelerated, and Varna deliver
ed. especially If the reports that have been in
circulation these four days past should be con-
irnrd. 1t is said that 10 consequence of a
s0rIir by the garrison of Silistria. which was
a5, 900 men strong the army Of Gen. Roth,
observing that place, had been totally beaten
and dispersed. It is added, that whatever
part fell not in the hands Of the Turks has
sought It's safety in fight, leaving SO pieces Of
cannon behind, & that it was not till evening
that the troops could be rallied. The Turks
have destroyed all the works Of the Russians
so there is not even chance of dreaming
to recommence the siege. On account Of
this check, Gen. Roth has been dismissed
from bis command,as il is asserted. HOwev-
er, as the direct communications with Varna,
by way of ChOumla, are interrupted, these
statements seem to require cOnirmatiOn.-
Prince Sheriff is to re-Organise the corps Of
Gen. Roth.
Exclusive ofthe bridges over the Danube.
which, the Turks possess at Giurgeyo and ST.
listria, they have likewise other passages near
Semnitz and elsewhere, where they fortify
themselves without any opposition. II is to
be feared, that as the Russian army has not
a single point ofretreat near Isaktchka, the
Turks will push into the principalties on Sc
veral points, and lay that country waste, in
such manner as to render it impossible or at
least very hazardous, to seek winter quarters
in the municipalities. The boldest minds are
struck with sinister presentiments.
Srml;n, Sept. 10.
The last mail from Constantinople. brings
nothing OfimpOrtance, but the military prep
arations are worthy of attention. All the
Turkish nations appear animated with u war
like spirit. Numbers of Asiatic troops, most
ly cavalry, continue to arrive, and proceed to
the Danube, after halting a short time. Sew
eral ofthe exiled Janissaries have been dis
covered among them. who were Immediately
arrested and publickly thrown into the sea.
Three frigates have lately been fitted out,
which accompanied by steam boat,carrying
- guns, that has lately arrived here, are 60
ing to observe the Bosphorus. The Turks
seem to be no ways inundated. All the
young men take arms, and the old men say
aloud, we know that the Russians are going
to the Dardanelles-that the English threat
en- Egypt, and the French the Morea; but
we confde 10 the God Of Mahomet, whose
omnipotence will aid our arms.
The Sultan. before proceeding to- business,
goes TO the Mosque; after prayers he reviews
the troops 10 Constantinople. and then goes
to Eglick Dschami. out Of the gates, where
Seven Towers is to be fortified and provided

From the suburbs of the Potters, three rows
of batteries have been erected, which have at
least three hundred and fifty cannon. Of the
six gates between the Seven Towers, and thu.
harbOr, all are to be shut up except two-the
new gate, and that leading to Adrianople.
Hamkurgh, Oct 10.
A letter from Frankfort says, that Estatet-
tes, received from Vienna, represented the
present campaign as completely at an end, g.
the Emperor as about to return to st. Peters
burgh. Count Wittgenstein, it is said, is to
be superseded in the command and Gen. Ug-
arrow appointed to succeed him.
Bucharest, Sept. 90.
The accounts from the seat of war become
more and more serious.
On the 9th, Hussein Bey being informed
of the preparations Of the Russians to evacu-
ate, made a general attack upon their intrench-
ments. The imperial troops displayed the
most brilliant valour, and repulsed him but
nevertheless, they fell back Ia Benijazar, where
they stopped one day, and prepared 10 reach
Bazardjik. The privations of all kinds have
produced excessive misery in the ranks of the
Muscovites. The road from Choumla to Je-
nibazar is literally covered with dead, and
wounded, and carcass;'s Of Russian horses
Such ravages have been caused by the excess
sive heat Of the climate, which could not be
overcome by the most admirable rersever-
ance, and all the efforts of Incompatible val
our.
Cunstantinople, Sept IS.
In the course Of the last fortnight great
movement has been remarked among the for
eign dplomatists, and even in the palace OF
the Porte. 1t is said that very serious affairs
are under consideration. The Ministers Of
the Porte being informed of the motives that
compelled the Vice Roy of Egypt to the con-
venton relative to the Morea, appear. they
do not giveit their appreciation, at least not
to impute it as crime to Mehemet Pacha -
but it appears that all possible measures are
adopted to remedy the evil caused by their
speculations, and that il is intended to substi-
tute, as speedily as possible. other Ottoman
troops for the Egyptians. who are to be em-
barlSe<l.-
The Porte does not regard without regret
the close alliance Of her most ancient allies
