Jforngn clearer insight into these matters; and altho' there has been doubt less a very desperate combat, rely upon it that Russia has gained no one tangible point. It is certain that the Turks defeated General Roth at Prevadi the Grand Vi zier retiring tranquilly to Shum la, leaving the Russians weak and dispirited. Gen. Roth immedi ately acquainted Gen. Diebitsch with his forlorn condition, implo ring succor, in order to enable him to keep the field before Shumla. Den. Diebitsch, contra ry to all the speculations and cal culations of tlie Turks, abandon ed his position before Silistria, and took with him the corps 01 Count Pahlen, and by forced mar ches, and through an entire new route, he joined Gen. Roth before the Grand Vizier had the least in telligence of the movement. It was a neat enterprize on the part of the Russian General, and so fai lle deserves great praise. The force under the Grand Vizier seems to have been a strong corps ot observation, not exceeding time he gave orders to his com- 12,000 troops, and within a few manders not to quit their posi- days march of Shumla, at which tions, and that the Consul had place the main body of the army sent a vessel to the Ambassadors must have remained.

By several re cent arrivals at New-York, Paris papers to the 7th July, and Lon don to the 2d, have been received. Among other intelligence of im portance, they contain an article from Corfu, of the 11th of June, purporting that advices have been received from Egina to this effect: That the Protocol of the 22d of March, (lately published in the American papers,) had given great dissatisfaction; that the En glish Consul General, having ob tained audience of the President of Greece, had required hi in to raise all the blockades, recall the Greeks from the Morea,and cease hostilities against the Porte; and that the President had refused ei ther to suspend hostilities or to recall the Greeks from Livadia, declaring himself bound by duty to keep the advantages he had al ready gained, and resolved to yield only to superior force. The account adds, that at the same gained a victory, are now disposed; to make peace on lair terms. They cannot pass the Balkans this campaign, and if they do, they will have to encounter Bel zebub himself on the plains of Adrianople, with something like 150,000 men; and what is a host among the "faithful," the little green standard of the Prophet. Letters from Constantinople state that favorable news from A sia had been received in that city, the substance of which is, that Gen. Paskcwitsch has been van quished after a strong battle. The news from Jassy of the 10th, speaks of the arrival of a messen ger from Count Diebitsch; the ob ject of the mission is not known. The trade of England with France for the last year, did not exceed eight hundred thousand pounds sterling; while with Tur key it amounted to more than a James A.

Within a few days past ar.' immense quantity of rain has fallen ir, this vicinity. The water courses have' risen considerably arid still continue ri sing; the lowlands are all overflowed and most of the roads rendered impassa ble. We have had no mails on the Pe tersburg and Newbern routes since last Saturday. It would be impossible ic estimate the damage already sustained by our farmers, in the destruction c:; crops, stock, &c. ravalry. He then abandoned the pursuit to Gen. Kupryanoff, whose division had arrived at Markowre. Gen. Roth, on the 12th. advanced upon Maras, and discovered in the road 1650 artillery of the en emy cn the road to the village of Kasepla, and dispersed them. A small party took refuge in a re doubt, and answering the sum mons to surrender by a volley of bullets, the redoubt was charged and carried at the point of the bayonet, and the garrison put to the sword. The loss of the ene my was 600 men and 12 stand ards. The Russians took 50 pri soners. Their own loss h stated at 100 men. The Paris Consti- tutionel says that the triumphs of uie ivussians are much greater nnd more decisive than had been supposed from previous accounts. A correspondent of the New York Courier, under date Lon don, June 29, says: We have had the news of a fight between the Turks and Russians, and if you on the other side of the watet will credit the Russian bulletins, the Turks have been routed and al most destroyed. The knowin ones here, oa Change, !,ave t were also destroyed the nrison- ers were doubtless the strao-Jers belonging to the retreating army; there was no surrender of whole battalions; the Turks found them selves with 25,000. men safe in Shumla, having had a severe fight and having abandoned 40 pieces of cannon and heavy baggage. You will see in all this nothmg?to encourage the Russians or discou rage the Turks. Silistria has been weakened by strengthening Gen. Roth, who has forced a d'm sion of the Turkish army into a light, and all Christendom will be astonished to hear that the battle was fought partly on a pluin and the Turkish infantry moved hand somely by battalions, and exhibit ed great discipline witli-m-nt vn. or. The speculators in Stocks! ncre, who know how to calculate the results of a battle, infer that the Russians have gained nothing by this fight. They have, by a handsome manoeuvre surprised the lurks, but the result will make theiu more cautious, and compel them to keep within their ioi tresses and act upon the de fensive.

In each village are schools, of which thej masters are paid by government. No one is allowed to marry who cannot read, write, and show some acquaintance with arithmetic: and under a penalty, no master can employ a workman who is unable to read and write. Small works on moral subjects, written with, great care, are circulated among the lower classes, Hence crimes arc ex t re in civ rare; and in the course of a twelvemonth scarcely, two executions take place in Vienna. I FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1829. Foreign. In the preceding column!; the reader will find European advices a few days later. It appears that the bat tle of the 11th June, between the Rus sians and Turks, was of a more imnor. tont and decisive character than al firs; supposed. The Russians do not state their own force, but say that upwards of 40,000 Turks were engaged, and that i20C0 were killed, and 1500 taken pris oners; the prisoners were probably the wounded of the retreating army, as no mention is made of these in the Kussiau bulletin. The Russian loss is not sta ted, but said by the commanding Gene ral to be "not small." It must have been a sanguinary contest, for even the Russian bulletin states that ''after a mur derous combat of four hours, the fire, which the exhausted troops could net continue, entirely ceased on both sides." It is supposed, that emboldened by pre vious successes, in which the Turks stite that they have destroyed upwards of 4000 Russians, the Grand Vizier felt a disposition toact on the offensive; this affair will make him more cautious in fu ture, and will also have a discouraging effect on the Russians, as it calls in ques tion their superiority over the Turks in a field fight, which heretofore has net been doubted. The reason for active operations is rapidly passing, and we will probably soon hear of something deci sive from the theatre of war. General Assembly.

Congress. From the official state ment of the Poll of election for a Rep resentative in Congress from this Dis trict, we learn that Dr. Thomas If. Hall received 225G votes, Richard Ilines, Esq. 94, and Wm. A. Blount, Esq. G4; (the two latter were not candidates) viz: I la I . m t cs. BIg unt.

Nominations. The work of nominating candidates to ho run for President and Vice-President of the United States, at the elec tion in 1332, has already been commenced. Martin Van Buren, John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, and Chief Justice Marshall, have all been nominated by respecta ble papers as proper persons for tlie Presidency, while many oth ers express a desire that the pre sent President be continued ano ther term. John McLean, Wm. Wirt, and some others, have also been named for the office of Vice President. All this is taking time by the foretop, and only calcula ted to create an untimely heat and strife, similar to that which dis turbed the order of society the last four or five years. In many places the unjust prejudices and party feeling which had torn asun der the ties of friendship, made enemies of long tried associates, and burst the bonds of kindred affections, have been thrown a side, and all. without regard ic
