FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
The London Globe of April 10Th says
The accounts from the seat of war in the
East are contradictory and indecisive.
Some of them state that the campaign is
begun, that various skirmishes have taken
place on the fortified points between Varna
and the Danube and that in these, as well
as in sanguinary battle fought near Giur-
gevo, the Russians have had the advantage.
Other accounts say that the Russian pre-
partitions are so far from being complete.
that it will be the beginning of May before
their armies are in the field in force. The
principal theatre of the campaign, it is be-
lieved, will be the shores of the Black
Sea-"
General Rudeger reports that division
of three battalions, as Cossacks, and two
cannon, under the command of Colonel
Roslatsch, had been sent against detach-
ment of Turks that had occupied the vii
lage of Ekistscho, where the Colonel ar
rived on the Oath February, with his troops,
at this village, consisting of 300 houses.

PruSSian State Gazette, March 13.
Frontiers of SerUia, April l. The Pacha
of Belgrade has received letter from the
new Grand Vizier, Redchid Pacha, who
communicates to him piece of news which
is equally agreeable and important to the
government in the present crsls-namely,
that he has not only succeeded in appeas-
ing the discomfort of the Albanians, on ac-
count of their arrears of pay, but that he
has concluded with them new convention
by virtue of which 5000 of them are to
march Immediately to the Dannbe, and 5000
more to be placed under the orders of the
Pacha of Janina.
The Pacha of Scutara has received the
most formal orders from the Grand Vizer
to send his contngents to Janina without
loss of time. After making these arrange
ments, the Grand Vizier Immediately set
out for Constantinopie to assume the high
office, to which the confidence of the Sultan
had called him.
The scarcity of corn began to be felt in a
deplorable manner in several provinces of
the Ottoman Empire. The blockade of the
Dardannelles produces the fatal effects
which the enemy expected, particularly in
Mandonia, and the appearance of some Rus
sian vessels off the Gulf Thessalonica, which
capture all vessels with provisions, adds to
the distress of all these countries, which is
farther increased by the usurious spirit of
the jobbers, who take advantage Of it.
Accounts from the fertile province of BIZ
toglia say, that on the LIST March, the ok9

of all the necessaries of life increases in
the same proportion. The inhabitants are
nearly reduced to despair. The new Grand
Vizier, as he passed through these provln-
ces, had an opportunity of Witnessing their
distressing situation. He arrived at Bitog-
liza on the 10th March, with a suite Of 30
persons meantime the preparations for war
are carried on with the greatest activity in
Macedonia as we'll as in Bosnia.
By accounts from Alexandria, of the 9Th
of March, we learn that the Viceroy had
resolved to furnish the Sultan with corps
of $4,000 cavalry. AS the route by sea
was interrupted by the Russian squadrons,
these troops would proceed by way of Pal
estine, Syria, and Anatolia.
FROM GREECE.
Trieste, .4priJ g. According to letters
from Corfu, of the goth of March, the town
of Prevesa, and the whole coast opposite
Corfu, had for some days past been block
AIDED by the Greeks, so that no barks could
approach, and the Ionian Government, be-
sides, did not allow them to violate the
blockade.
The number of French troops that remain
in the Morea, has been estimated at 6000
A commercial letter received here from
Constantinople, and dated March 10, says,
" a few days ago, Turkish frigate, sloop,
and a corvette, were going to enter the
Bosphorus by night, but were mistaken by
the garrisons of the Castles at the entrance
for Russians, and so severely injured by a
violent canonnade, that it was necessary to
send the steamboat along the coast of Can
dia to Alexandria, in order to prevent the
landing of troops and provisions as we'll to
Gambia as the Dardanelles, especially as it
is affirmed that the Egyptian fleet is to go
to Constantinople, in order to act during
the summer in the Black Sea in conjunction
with the five ships of the line, two frigates,
four corvettes, and twelve briggs, now in the
harbor of Constantinople.
April 5. Redschid Pacha left Janina at
the beginning of March, and is gone to
Constantinople. The Albanians were still
in state of INSTRUMENTATION, and Redschitl
Pacha was obliged to leave his son to keep
them in awe. The Greeks are said to have
gained victory over the Turks in Livadia.
