what measures were adopted against II, for it would
defend its rights, and preserve itself from dishon

we do not know; but Is certain that the squad

Zaulen has sent an express TO Poros, with des-
patches for Count Guilleminot.
| SEhLIN, Nov. rs -Nothing IL talked Of at
Belgrade but news of victories, and the Turks
give themselves up to unbounded Joy. They state
that the whole Russian army in full retreat; and
| closely pursued by Hussein Pacha, who has re-
lieved Sistria. They give besides numerous de-
| tails Of the losses sustained by the Russian army
before, and after the raising OF the seigc but these
| accounts appear to be false or exaggerated.
General Geismer, who has entrenched him
self at Califat, will be very much exposed, because
the garrison of Widen, which has been reinforced
by 5000 men, encouraged by the continual ac-
counts OF successes in the Russian Bulletin, will
soon resume offensive operatons.-The Turks
though not in general very enterprising, how
ever very formidable enemies when fortune is
favourable 10 them; they prosecute their advan-
tages without hesitation, or any OF those fears
which often hinder other nations from taking ad-
vantage 81 tile most brilliant success.
"Under the present circumstance they can ca.
silly pass the Danube and hsrrass the prnSiaalities
in more effectual manner, because tha lGcity
OF provisions, renders it difficult to provide ibsis-
tence for the Russian army, whose position are
very far extended.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov 1S.-There is no j.
dea OF accepting the proposals sent by the Three
Ambassadors from Poros; ami the fall of varna has
produced no change in this respect All the reports
that have been circulated on this subject appear
TO be untounded. When the Minister of the Ne
| thetlands, acquainting the Refs EfIcndi with the
declaration Of the blockade of the Darlanelles put
him in mind of the proposals decided upon at Po-
ros. he was answered. that even If the Porte
were inclined 20 make peace, and accept those pro-
posais il would not find any security in them be-
! Cause they were not supported by any solemn
guarantee. without which there would be neither
safety nor peace possible for the Ottoman Empire,
or for any other.
The news of the blockade of the DardaneIles
caused at first -asRseei sensation; but the Turks
thinks that this meAS8fe will have the effect soon
er or Later of dssolving the alliance of the 9th Of
July, because il exposes so much the interest OF
the martime powers.
Among the troops tina! have arrived from Asia
| corps OF 300 armed Dervses has been noticed.
Ii is stated that Jassuf Pacha, apprehensive
that in the event Of peace between Russia and the
Porte, the latter should require him TO be deliver
ed up, in order to make an example of him. has
| resolved TO take up his residence in France or
England. His property is said to be immense,
| and his treachery at Varna produced no inconsid-
cradle sum. Gaignan's Messenger
FRANCE
Accounts had been received Of an order of the
French Government to prohibit the expor tation of
corn but il is not known whether the order refers
10 the whole kingdom, only 10 one of those
districts into which France is divided for agricuI-
turai and commercial purposes.-If it should in
clude the Whole kingdom, il is evidently strong
indication OF alarm concerning the deficiency of
the stock OF grain. In Paris, the price of bread
had attained very high price; namely, a franc, or
lOd sterling, for the Alb loaf; and the government
had in consequence brought into. consumption a
supply OF corn from the public granaries, so as to
reduce the Id. loaf TO Sd for the poor About
600 individuals, one-tenth of the population
OF the capital, receiving the benefit of this
charitable reduction.
Accounts from Touion state, that General Mai
considered the further stay of the French troops
in the Morea unnecessary and advised their recall
His said to have convinced the govern
ment, who Immediately caused all preparations
Tor supplying the wants OF the army to be suspend
ed, and sent orders for its return. IL these advi-
TO be credited to their full extent the fir
division of troops from the Morea would re-enter
Toulon at the close of December. French ga rri-
sons, however, would be left in the Messenian for
tresses, but not to later period than next April
PORTUGAL.
The Portuguese Refugees, assembled in an in
convenient number at Plymouth, are, it seems, to
be removed TO the ,Brazils They wished to be
formed, by English aid and English expense into
an all invading army, and to be launched from the
arm OF Great Britain upon their native country.
Their motives, abstractedy considered, could no,
be impeached, and the principle OF patriotism un.
der which they aced,is perhaps laudable ;but then
the obligations OF neutrality, and the law of ma
tons, would not permit this armament to be pre-
pared and sent forth, with the sanction OF Great
Britain. Under these circumstances the emf
grants are 10 be removed TO the Brazils and to be
placed under the protection of Don Pedro. Let

subjects against MigueI.-Every candid mind

IL l. stated IN letter from Lisbon. that nineteen
ladies' of the nobility have been sent to converts
because they were suspected of entertaining sem

The Earl of Liverpool died on the 4th inst. The
title descends to his half brother, Mr. Cecil Jen-

The Liverpool Advertiser states that Lord
Strangford, who went to Rio Jsneiro on a special
mission, met with the coolest possible reception
from Don Pedro who would scarcely see him at
all having previously learnt that his object was 10
prevail on the Emperor to resign the crown OF Por-
tugal to the usurper Don Miguel. Ii is said that
Don Pedro feels the utmost resentment against his
brother.
