tinted, and demanded their pay, threaten
ing, ifthey were not satisfied, to deliver up
the fortress to the Greeks or the English !;
two days afterwards symptoms of discomfort
manifested themselves in the campofthe cav
airy, but these disturbances were soon quel-
led by the appearance of two regiments
that were sent against the mutineers, and
by the presence of the Kiaia Bey, who went
in person to Coron. Ibrahim Pacha said
publicly that they were excited by intrigues
from without, and that war was made upon
him with arms with which the Mussulmen
we're unacqualnted.
Corfu, May IL. General Church has
been attacked in the environs of Missolong-
hi and Anatolico, by body of Turks, and
whether from the disparity of force, or from
the surprise, the Greeks were defeated, with
the loss of 200 men, and abandoned their
camp, their positions, and provisions, re-
treating to Dragomestre. The Turks had
also many killed and wounded.
AFFAIRS OF THE EAST.
LONDON, June IL. The Ministers of the
Allied Powers will meet speedily at Corfu.
The French Minister has already taken his
departure, and Mr.. Stratford Canning will
soon Join him. In the mean time the For
eign Ministers now at Constantinople will
continue to press upon the Porte the neces-
sity Of yielding to the stipulations of the
Treaty of London. And should the Porte
he disposed to adopt q moro yielding policy
( the negotiations would then probably be
carried on at Constantinopfe. 1t is not to
be doubted that an immediate adoption of
such policy would have powerful effect
upon any separate negotiation to be carried
on between Turkey and Russia. And we
are more strengthened in this belief, not
only by the declaration made by Russia,
which is already known to our readers; but
by another despatch which has Just been
made public-the despatch of Count Nessel-
rode to the Russian Minister at the Ger
man Diet. We think it places the princi-
pies and policy of Russia in clearer and
more explicit point of view than aay of her
other official documents.
LONDON, June 10. The arrivals during
the week afford butlittle positive intelligence.
The Russians appear to be very active, but
owing to the difficulties of their station their
progress is not very rapid. Their agents
are said to have detached the Servians and
Bosnians from the Turkish interest, so as to
deprive the left of the Turkish armies of the
resources and support they relied upon.
Count Wittgenstein invested Brailaw on the
l1th ult., and the trenches were to be open
on the 10th. when the Arch Duke was to
appear before the place Immediately after
breach was made. We must recollect,
that of all nations the Turks are the most
efficient in defending breaches and walled

the desperate efforts of personal bravery.
About 5000 Turks were supposed to be shut
up in the town. The Danube was to be
crossed at three places-Ismael, Galatz, and
Oltenitza; but the piatoons had not been
got ready by the engineers in time. In the
mean time the Divan had issued firman
calling upon all the Turks between the age
of twelve and sixty, to arm: and it enjoined
the troops not to modest strangers, or to vio-
late the usages of war. Austria and France,
England and the other principal powers,

Russian Head Quarters.
VIENNA, June 2. The Emperor Of Rus
STA is expected at Bucharest. The bonn
bardment of Ibrail (Braila or Brailow,) COM
menced on the 22d; several Turkish de-
tachments, which came out 20 forage, have
been made prisoners by the Russians, who
/, have cut off the communication with the
| fortress. All the trees and houses in the
environs have been burned by the garrison
that the batteries may be able to act. The
Russian troops in the camp are engaged in
making fascines and ladders, and it is sup
posed they mean to carry the place by storm

would be unexpected by the Turks if il
should be so soon taken. Active prepara-
tons ale making for the passage of the Dan
ube, which, it is said, will take place on

CzERNowITz, May 25. His Majesty the
| Emperor Nicholas, soon after his arrival al
Ismail, went over the bridge at Vadulni
Issak (where the Russian main body cross
ed the Pruth) and to the camp near Hodschi
| Captain, league and half from Lsmail
where his Imperial Highness, the Grand
/ Duke Michael, arrived on the 18th.
! All the necessary materials are being
collected to lay bridges over the Danube
in three places, namely-between Ismail
and Tomarewa, at Gallatz, and at Oltenlit-
"a, between Rudschuck and Silistria. I'm
portant military operations were expected
and the more so as the delay of eleven days
had expired, which the Pacha of Ibrail, who
declared he had no orders whatever to
commit hostilities, had obtained for the pur-
pose ofprocuring instructions from Constan-
tinople.
CsNsTANrINoPLE, April %. The Fes-
tival of the Bairam has been celebrated in
the greatest tranquility; the Sultan made
his entry into the Seraglio, accompanied by
all the great men and the regular troops.
The inhabitants of the Seraglio do not ap-
pear to be at all uneasy about political
events, or to fear the entrance of the Rus
slams any more than simple insnrrection
of the Greeks. Their confidence, it is true,
is founded on the notion that the Russians
will only occupy the Principalities, and that
they would be afraid, if they advanced any
