dav, THE 18TH a reinforcement joined the
Russian forces at Paravadi, when the Grand
Nizier Immediately retreated to Choumla
and he in his turn will be speedily shut UP
and assailed. The battle has been one OF
the most sanguinary that has yet been
fought between the combatants. The Rus
slams state their loss TO be 1000 killed and
wounded, and, that OF she Turks 1000 tUere
leyf on the field of battle, exclusive Of the
wounded whom they must have carried off,
This bulletin puts an end TO the rumor that
;he Grand NiZier had defeated Gen. Roth,
and recaptured Varna.
The bulletin announces in postscript,
that courier had just arrived from Adml-
raj Greig, with NEWS that thesTnrklsh.tieet
which had entered the Black Sea, had has
tened back to the Bosphorus, on learning
that the Russian fleet had gone to meet it.
Immediately after this hasty retreat, the
Russian Admiral reinforced the squadron
stationed off the channel Of Constantinople,
and ordered some ships to cruise on the
east coast of Natolia. About 20 Turkish
transports fell into the hands OF the Rus
SLAMS and new frigate was set on tlre by
the Russian squadron near SchHh not tar
from the Bosphorus.
Important accounts maybe expected from
Asia, as it appears by advces from Cor
stantinople, that Persia is about to make
common cause with Turkey, and that Gen.
Paskewitch having received large reinforce
ments of men, and supplies of artillery, was
preparing to advance upon Erzerum.
Provisions had been received in Constan-
tinople, both by sea and land, from Smyrna,
and likewise from the Black Sea.
Adrianople has been fortified, and all
the beautiful gardens and fields there con-
sequently laid waste.
London, June no. The accounts from
the Turkish capital are three days later
than those received yesterday. The arrival
of the British ambassador to reopen ne
gotiations with the Porte, was anxiously
looked for by all classes, and a successful
/ issue was looked for at CoHstantinople
More reliance was placed on Great Britain
than on France, though their united exer-
| tons were wished for. Trade was in a
most depressed state III consequence of the
great preparations for the war against Rus
STA.
The emperor Of Russia has spent all the
money borrowed last year, and has opened
fresh negotiations for private loan in
England and France, in consequence of the
resistance made by Turkey for that amount
there is nothing Positive, though it is sup.
posed to be for larger sum than that Of
last year.

| Gen. Pankrauew, commanding the left wing

and overtaken by sixty Cossacks and some
infantry, and entirely routed, with the los:
of forty killed and twenty-five prisoners

To PRESERVE VINES FROM RUGS. The

been very great in this quarter, this season.

to prevent their ravages. But the best of
all we have tried, is to. plant onion seed

are up, to sprinkle ashes on every hill lust
before fall Of rain, which makes len and
kills the bugs, &C., almost instantaneouslv ;

but on vegetables, such as beets, parsnips,

PIsTAREENs. There seems to be GER
eral determination to reduce the current
value of these coins to IL or Is cents. 1t
appears from Report of the Directors of
the U. s. Mint, that there is more ALLOW in
cross plstareens lpistareens with an X or
cross on one side) than in Spanish dollars
and parts thereof, and that although FIVE
pistareens may weigh as much as four quar-
( tiers OF dollar, they are not in fact worth
so much. The actual value of Spanish
dollars and parts thereof is ll6 cents mill
per ounce; of cross pistareens 106 cents
Z mills per ounce. The assay of cross pis-
tareens at the Mint gave the following re-
suits ;-PIstareens not milled, coined 17I5
to l729, are worth l6 cents mills do. mill
Ell, l|30 to 1850, worth lS cents mills :;
do. milled, 1850 TO III, worth 10 cents
The U. 5. Branch Bank in Boston recently
weighed 2OO cross plstareens, Dromiscuous-
ly taken and found their real value to be
only II cents l mill each. This result
seems to vary from that of the assay made
at the Mint.
The editor Of the Boston Palladium con-
siders the reduction of the nominal value of
plstareenst while quarters, eight!ts and sig
teenths are retained at the OLD rates. us an
unnecessary procedure Oh the part of the
U: 5. Bank. He says the following table
OF the real value ofsmall Spanish coins was
published at Philadelphia sometime ago.
Quarters % cents 2 mills; pistareens or
titths IL cents mills; do. with heads 30 cents
mills elghths or Cd bits, 10 cents 7 mills
Slxteenths or 4d half penny bits, 5 cents.
Their current value in Connecticut is IL
cents, in New York lS4 cents. and in Some
towns IN Massachusetts only II cents.
Their real value varies from Is to 20 cents.
and probably averages about Is cents; the
head Pistareens are worth 30 cents.

ATRoCIoUs MURDER. On Monday night
last, whilst William Bowyers was sitting at
supper with his wife, his father and brother.
he was shot by one of his negroes, who. it
seems, had secreted himself in the garden
opposite the door, at the distance of about
30 feet, for that purpose. At the fire of the
gun, he fell from his chair without speak
ing, and remained stupid and insensible for
nearly II hours before he expired. Six ne
groes have been examined and sent to Jail ::
two or three of the principal actors in this
horrid plot having, after there appeared
strong testimony of their guilt, confessed
the whole transaction. The reason assign
ed for numbering their master was, his hay-
ing made known his intention of selling
part Of them, and removing with the balance
to the county of Rockingham, his former
residence. Several of the negroes sent 10
Jail belonged to the neighbors: they had
wifes at Mr.. Bowyer's which was the cause
of their joining in the plot: but the man who
procured the gun, and the one that used it.
were his own slaves. They acknowledged
his remarkable len;ty and indulgence to-
wards them-having some days before
given such as were for sale, notes to pro-
cure masters in the neighborhood: but de-
luded wretches they supposed, by destroy
ing him, they would not have to be sepata-
