FOREIGN NEWS.

Our European advices are to Nov. %, ten
days later than before given. The only matter
of interest contained in the papers, will be found
in the following extracts:
The Plymouth Journal says, 1T is re-
ported from high quarter, in this neigh
5orhood. that the Emperor of Russia has
been graciously pleased to offer the COM
mand in chief of all the Russian navy, to
our gallant countryman, Vice Admiral Sir
Edward Codrington."
Some material changes have taken place
in the French ministry. Prince Polignac,
who is spoken of by the Moniteur as the
leader of the moderate party, has been ele-
waited to the Presidency of the Council OF
Ministers. M. de la Bourdonnaye resigned
his place as Minister of the Interior, on this
promotion, and was placed in the Privy
Council. He was considered as the princi-
pal enemy of the liberals in the Ministry.
Baron Montbel, Minister of ecclesiastical
affairs and public instruction, succeeds to M.
de la Bourdonnaye, and M. Rainville takes
the place of Baron Manthel in ecclesiastical
affairs
The Paris papers, under the head of Mad
rid, relate an account of curious attempt
at assassination. Don Nazario Egina, Cap
tain General of Galicia, received letter,
post marked "Leon," on attempting to open
which, it exploded, shattering his hand, and
wounding him severely in the face and chest.
1t is said that his life was only preserved by
his head being luckily averted at the mo-
ment, for that, if he had been looking down
upon the letter, he would certainly have
been killed on the spot. This M. Egina is
spoken of as a man of brutal temper, whose
harshness and tyranny had made him many
enemies.
TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
The Pacha of Scutari declared to Gen.
Diebitsch, lin the early part of Oct.,l that
he would give him time till the 18th, to evac-
uate Adrianople, and that, unless he COM
piled, he would be forcibly driven out. The
Pachas obey no orders-the Grand Vizier
at Chumla has refused to give up the seals
of the Empire.
Another conspiracy against the life of the
Sultan has been detected.
The following intelligence of Oct. 90,
from Belgrade, is given by the Augs-
burgh Gazette -" We learn by letters from
Adrianople, that Gen. Diebitsch has given
OAuCio w 0OiIs AAluCoOWShy1 W uOltl HIIDSHlI
in readiness to attack the Pacha of Scutari,
in the event of his refusing to lay down his
arms, in pursuance of the Sultan's command.
The Pacha has been made acquainted with
this determination, and hence has sent away
the greater part of his troops to Sophia,
whilst he remains with only few thousand
men at Phillippolis, for the purpose of pro-
ceeding to Adrianople, when that city shall
have been evacuated by the Russians. AS
soon as the inhabitants of Adrianople learn
ed that their city was to be occupied by the
Pacha of Scutari, they sent a deputation to
Gen. Diebitsch, to implore him to prevent
he entrance of the Pacha, so greatly is he
lreaded on account of his cruelty. Gen.
Oiebitsch, who is we'll acquainted with the
Of the Pacha Of Scutari, has taken
measures to reduce him by force, if such
course should become necessary"
Constaniinople, Oct. IL. Though it was
known that the ratification of the treaty of
peace was sent to Adrianople on the 18th
1T, the government has not yet published
my thing on the subject of the peace. The
news, said to have been brought by Rus
'lan Colonel, who arrived here on the 9Th,
hat the Turks had cut to pieces 300 Rus
'ians, in a village west of Adlianople. has
excited some approximations, which, it is TO
,e hoped, will prove unfounded, that the
Russians may again advance.
OrsotOG, Oct. 25. It is reported that I
Russian corps of 1000 men, which was oui-
stly cautioned at Vrazza, ronfding in The
.reaty, has been surprised and surrounded
~ horde Of Turks, probably belonging to
he corps Of the Pacha of Scutari. The
Russians who were too few in number to
make any resistance, proposed to capitu-
ate to which the Turks pretended to ac-
:ede: but the Russians had scarcely laid
Town their arms, when the Turks fell upon
hem and massacred them to a man.
