explanation given by the British Consul, Mr..
Buchanan, Of the friendly sentiments Of the
new President towards this country, Is very
satisfactory. We have been assured that he
acknowledges the impolicy Of the new tariff,
and will be glad to see It either repealed or
modified. Such belief Is entertained in the
u. States, and hence the commercial relations
with this country may, for time, he less act
i've, beca(Ise the merchants may be disposed
to defer giving orders until they ascertain
whether the disposition Of Congress be favor
able to repeal or modification Of the tNrif
or not"

my report Of the 9TH June had acquainted
your Majesty with my march from the camp
before Silistria with the corps Of Count Pah-
lon. partly for the purpose Of joining Gen.
Roth. and partly to relieve the fortified town
of Pravadi, which had been invested for ten
DAYS by tho Grand Vizier. In order to attain
this double object, and at the same time in
duce the Grand Vizier, It possible, to engage
10 battle, | resolved to make myself master,
with all speed, of his line Of communication
with Schoumla. With this view, set out
from Sstria on the 5th, leaving the further
prosecution of tho seige Of that fortress to

the corps of Count Pahlen, was covered by
several Of our partixans, performed with the
greatest caution, and remained wholly un-
known to the enemy. The astonished Vizier
did not receive the first news Of our approach
till the dehle ut Madara was occupied by our
troops. Even then, he did not presage the
danger which threatened him in its whole ex-
tent, but imagined that his new adversary was
a corps Of about 10000 men. detached by
Gen. Roth. the only object Of which was ia
