The Turkish prisoners and desetters
agree in stating that there is great search
ty of provisions. especially at Shumla, where
the new Grand Vizier had arrived with
( $4,000 regular troops. By other uneXcep-
tionable accounts, the scarcity is daily be-
coming more alarming, even at ConstGn-
tinople.
Tchpan Oglou, who commanded at Nico-
poll, has lately been arrested and conduct
ed into exile. 1t is believed that he will be
beheaded before he reaches the place of
his destination.

his head quarters nearer to the Danube, anu
accordingly left Jassy 18th April.
Freibug, May 5. Last ght huge piece
hanging mountain of the Falenshige, in the
bailiwick of Freiburg, separated itself sud
denly, and, precipitated to depth of 400
feet perpendicularly, broke into several
large masses, one of which penetrated
through the back wall of laborer's dwell

back chamber, and there remained. A poor
old woman had her thigh broken, and girl
received considerable confusion. A child
only six weeks old was wonderfully pre-
served, for, lying in a cradle in the same
apartment, the cradle was smashed into
more than one thousand fractions, and even
its little feather bed was torn out and rent

treated from under the ruins without the

insignificant scratch on the head near the

trophe, in an upper part of the dwelling
fortunately escaped unhurt.

IMPORTANT FROM BUENos AYREs. A civi
war has for some time past been raging il
Buenos Ayres, which by the last accounts ap
pears to be drawing to close The brig Vo
liant has arrived at Baltimore in fifty days fror
the city of Buenos Ayres, and brings letters t
the editor of the Baltimore Patriot, from on
of which, dated April %, the following extrac
is made
s..~ you cIear idea OF this civil
war, | will give you short history of it
After peace was made with Brazil, tn,
troops under General Lavalle returned t.
Buenos Ayres, and when within one league
sent an order for their pay which Lavall
knew was not in the Treasury. The Gov
ernor (Dorrego) Immediately ordered La
vale 20 come to the fort. Lavalle's answe
was, that he should come, but in differen
manner from what he might expect. Ac
cordngly at o'clock, he made his appear
ance in the plaza, and ordered the fort t.
surrender, which it Immediately did. Dor
rego had previously made his escape tc TIN
country, knowing that his life would be tn
consequence. The city then being withou
a Governor, Lavalle Immediately ordere,
one to be chosen, and if he was not chosen
his troops were sufficient to make him SO
Accordingly he was chosen Governor; h,
Immediately went with his troops in pursui
of Dorrego, and gave him battle. Dorreg
was taken prisoner and shot in front of La
valle's army. He soon after went agains
the Province of Santa Fe, but was obliget
to return to protect the city from a party O
men collected together by Manuel Ros
and his brother. The Governor of SAINT
Fe with $500 men has arrived near on
city. and united with Rosa's force of Gan
chos and Indians, making in all from 5 t
5000 men. On the Goth, Lavalle with $50
regular troops gave them battle, the resul
OF which is not positively known, but gen
orally believed to be in favor of Rosa's par
ty. Should Rosa be successful and TAX
the city, we then shall have peace, for tn
interior provinces are all against Lavale-
if not, this war may rage until the countr
is utterly ruined.
Thus much for the letter. Captain Finn
brings verbal accounts some days later, tn
following particulars of which are from tn
Baltimore American.
