Frontiers Of .SerUia, May 90. Accounts
from the theatre of war come here almost
daily, and the Turks are very active. The
authorizes have very watchful eye over
strangers, ard have advised the polti-
clans IN the coffee houses to be prudent in
their expressions; accordingly nothing is
heard of there but victories gained by the
Turks, though nothing official has been
published by the Turkish government
The battle at Pravadi is said to have been
to the advantage of the Turks, though the
Grand Vizler gave up the contest, and re-
tied. 1t is affirmed that the Turkish artil-
lery, which is really much improved since
the last campaign, as well as the regular
infantry, distinguished itself on that occa-
SION. In general the Turks begin to APP
preclate the European discipline, and in the
action at Pravadi, which was in the open
held, the troops are said to have shown
great tirmness and skill. The Grand Vizier,
who has retreated to Shnmla, intends now
to march, with 10000 men, to Silistria, to
relieve that fortress, which is reported to
have 10000 inhabitants, and a garrison of
l2,0O0 men. Hussien Pacha, who now
commands at Rudschuk, has received or
ders tojoin part of his troops with the gar
rlson of Tourbouksi, aud also, to march to-
wards Silistria, in order to cover the Grand
| Vizier's flank on the attack. Hence it
should seem that the beseiging corps be-
fore Ghiurgevo is not considera BILE. The
Russians are said to have $4,000 men be-
fore Silistria. 1t is natural that the Turks
should exert themselves to the utmost to
preserve that place and it is very likely
that "a great battle may take place near it,
which would have great influence on the
success of the campaign. The CongreVe
rockets, which have been used with so
much success in all armies in which they
have been employed, have now been intro
duced by an Englishman to the Turks, who
=, expect that they will prove very serviceable
against the cavalry in the broken and un-
equal ground of the Balkan.
! FRANCE AND ALGIERs. Paris, June T.
There is still a talk of an expedition against
Algiers. Our quarrel with that regency is
embarrassing. 1t is an insect in the name
;, of lion, which roars, shakes its name, and
cannot rid itself of the annoyance. The
Dey struck our Consul with his fy-f1ap at
solemn audience, and the latter received
orders Immediately to retire. The rage of
the Dey had been provoked by the silence
of Baron de Damas, then our minister of
foreign affairs, respecting two autograph
letters which the barbarian had addressed
to him. France had granted him z, O0O, 900
of francs in payment of former supplies of
grain more or less proved to have been fur
nished, but the Dey had creditors in France
who insisted upon their rights. Thence
arose lawsuits, the decision of which was
long postponed. The Dey wished that the
funds should be given up to him, reserving
to himself the power of doing justice to the
claimants. His two letters, which remain
unanswered, contained thisproposition along
with complaints on the division which had
been made of part of the 100000 Of
francs among persons who now hold, or
who have held, certain rank in our admin
isfratinn- The Day asorihints f4A tho Ton
sui the want Of an answer to his letters,
yielded to his vivacity, and his fly flap gave
the signal of an annoying war, because it is
injurious to the commerce of our southern
provinces, and because it is difficult to say
how we can end it honorably.
, GREECE. A series of important diplo-
matte documents relative to the affairs of
Greece, has been published in the Alge-
l meine Zeitung of June 10th, 18th and 18th.
They consist of protocols of conferences
: held at London from the 10th of Nov last
! to the 22d of March, by the Ambassadors of
D Russia and France, and the British Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs, relative to the
affairs of Greece, and memoranda from
them respectively on the measures to be
adopted. The last PROTOCOL which is of the
most Importance shows what propositions
, are to be made to the Sublime Porte, by
the French and English Ambassadors, on
their arrival at Constantinople for carrying
, into effect the treaty of the 9th of July,
1927. This proposition is that the new
Grecian State shall embrace, in addition to
: the Morea and the islands now in possess
sion OF the Greeks, continental Greece as
, far north as line drawn from the Gulf of
Volo to that Of Ambracia, or Aria, and the
island of Negropont. This boundary gives
to Greece the whole of Livadia, including
: Attica, Bgotia Phocis, Actolia, and Acarna-
: MIA, but not Thessaly and Albania. The
Porte Is to have nominal supremacy and
. to receive an annual tribute. The govern
! ment is moreover, to be of monarchial
E form, and hereditary, in the family of a
, Christian Prince, to be chosen at first by
the three powers in concert with the Porte.
