The Courier of the 9Th Nov. gives the
Turkish official account Of the fall Of Varna.
| Under the head of Constantnople, Oct. "a,
the cause of the, fall of Varna is ascribed to
the treachery of Yussuf Muhlis. He is dis
tinctly accused of having been bribed by
Russian gold. The Turks make the num-
Der killed on both sides, in the three days
of hard fighting previous to the taking of
| Varna, to be 10000. The particulars of the
conflict do not vary essentially from the
Russian accounts. Preparations are ma
king, to retake Varna-a body has been
formed Of $4,000 men, between Aldos and
Suada, for this purpose, and 80 pieces of
cannon have been forwarded under the
command of Abduramax Pacha, the ancient
GOVERNOR of Bosnia.

Extract of a letter from Smyrna, Nov. 6,
received in this city =" There is no news
whatever from Greece. The Ambassadors
are still at Poros, but preparing to leave for
Italy, to pass the winter. Some English
ships have gone off Gambia, it is supposed to
stop the war there, and get suspension OF
arms. The whole of the interior is in pos
session of the Greeks. A force is also gone
to Patras, to force the Turks to give up that
| fortress, they having refused. The block
ade of the Dardanelles was this day publick-
ly notified. The Ambassadors are trying
again to get the Porte to come to some ar
rangement and may yet succeed particu-
slarly as they will be making the attempt al
a moment when the Porte must be alarmed
at the defeat of the Vizier, the taking Of
Varna, and the blockade ofthe Dardanelles, ,
j "a letter of the 9th, from the same source
gives no additional information.

| MEXICO. We have conversed with a
gentleman recently arrived here from Mex
leo, from whom we have learned some par
ticulars respecting that distracted country,
which will, no doubt, prove interesting to
many of our readers. He states that the
new Congress was to meet on the first OF
January, and it was the general opinion,
when he left, that the first act of the Depu-
ties would be to contest the votes of the
States of Puebla, Ojaca, and Yutcan or Cor
retro, all of which had voted for Pedraza for
President. The reason assigned for this
cause was that the elections in these states
had been controlled by the military. If the
votes should be declared illegal, new cleo
tions would have to be held in these States,
and there was no doubt, in such an event,
that they would give their suffrages for Gu
errero, when tranquility would be restored.
But, on the contrary, if the Congress should
decide in favour of Pedraza, the revolution
would continue, and there was no doubt that
Guerrero would, eventually, be placed in the
| Presidential chair. He is the favourite OF
the people, and Pedraza is chiefly supported
by the old Spanish party.
| Our informant states that Zayala, the for
mer Governour Of Mexico, for whose arrest
the government had issued orders, had not
left the country for the United States as was
reported ii short time since; neither had he
taken any money from the publick treasury.
He had, however, joined Santa Anna, and
was acting in concert with him.
