Russian Official Bulletin. 1. PETERsBUR®, April 30. A Sapplement to the Journal of St. Petersburg, contains news from the theatre of war to April, which besides the account of the unsuccess ful attack made by Hussein Pacha apon Sizeboli, gives the following par ticulars. Nothing else of any importance has occurred along the whole line that we occupy in Bulgaria or on the Danube, with the exception of some skirmish es between the out posts. The gar rison of Ghiurgevo has made two un successful sallies against ' the corps of observation before that fortress, in ' the second the enémy had 3000 men, infantry and cavalry, and some can non, and began a fire of Musketry on the Cossacks, but were driven back into the fortress with considerable , loss by the fire of artillery and the attack of two regiments of hussars; we took some prisoners. . ‘ During the winter the neccssary preparations have been made to ef fect the passage of the Danube be fore Silistria. Pontoons, were made in the village of Fundeni, on the river | Argis, with the intention of floating i them in spring to the Danube, and on the river Bota to Kallarusch, op posite Silistria. This enterprise was difficult and dangevous, - for the ene my having assembled the remains of his flotilla before Silistria, command ed the Danube at that fortress and farther up.. The operation was, hows ever, executed with success through the intrepidity "and skill united with the prudence of Major General Schil der.. The pontoons were launched into the Axrgis on the Bth April, reach ed the Danube at day break on the 11th, and'at two o’clock in the after noon f the following day were out of all danger in the Bota. -We not only sustained no loss,” but the volunteers of the -regiments of Archangel and Volguda, stationed on the pontoons, captureda Turkish merchantman, a corvette, with seven men. This cor-. vette has been armed with four cannon, & stationed as a gnardshipat the mouth of the Bota, where General Schilder has also had two redoubts erected. . The prisoners and deserters from the Turkish fortresses on the Dan ube agree in stating that there is a great scarcity of provisions, especial 1y at Shumla, where the new Grand Vizier had arrived with 12,000 reg ular troops. The authenticity of these declarations is confirmed by ‘other unexceptionable accounts, ac cording to which the scareity is daily becoming more" alarming even at Constantinople, threatens the innu merable population of that capital with incalculable disasters. fie” The celebrated T'chpan Oglou, who commanded at Nfco@:‘ has Tately been arrested by a Capidgi Baschi sent by the Su'l‘tah,*afiif%hducted in- | to exile. But it is believed that he will be_bebhéaded before he reaches the place of his destination. ‘As the commencement of fine | weather favors the rencwal of hostil ities, the Commander in Chief has | thought fit to bring his head quarters nearer to the Danube, and according ly left Jassy 14th April.. L GREAT BRITAIN. The London Quarterly Review, heretofore the advocate of the an “cient ins"ti‘tutions‘ an‘kaabflse; of . th | kingdom, aud opposes of reformation’ |in church and. state, has changed its “| tone, Thg'l‘ast ‘number- presents_a “gloomy picture of the state.and pros peets of the country; admits that the toundation of Eugland s greatness is i,nse_wre, and liable tobe undermined; and that chianges must take place in almost every part of the machine of society. We will give our readers a short abstract of the Reviewer’s ob servation under several heads. e | - Manufactures.—The perseverance with which trade and manufactures, -are enconraged in every pait of the, world is calculated to inspire deep and constant anxiety in England. Most of the countries in Furope— France, Netherlands, Germary, Prus sia, Switzerland, &c. are making rapid progress in manufactures, and from one end of Europe to the other, the greatest activity prevails. ‘Eng lish artists are daily ivited to settle abroad, and foreigners reside in England until they are able to carry off the mysteries of their trades and professions, Publie debt.—The reviewer states that the national debt in 1828 amount ed to 3,560,000,000 dollars—a sum so enormous that the ‘mere statement of it cannot fail to carry alarm to eve ry man possessed of prudence and foresight. The interest of the debt is considerably more than half of the whole annual income of the kingdom, and the reviewer expresses his fears that the people will be unable to pay the interest, and that bankruptey and | revolution will ensue. He cautions those who trust to the chapter of ac cident to avert the evil, not to rely on such consolations. ' Poor rates —The poor rates have increased more than ten fold within 80 years, and now exceed 30 millions of dollars per annum. The burdens of the rich and the miseries of the poor are at this hoar generally and rapidly advancing. 'The majority of laborers and’ their families throughout Eng land are as completely hound or as tricted to the parish, as the serfs (slaves) in feudal times -were to the | farm. The reviewer does not see how such an increasing drain can'be long supported, and says the pauper sys tem threatens to involve land owners, farmers and laborers in generaland irretrievable ruin. He states that the higher classes generally do not trouble themselves about the lower classes, and are often as ignorant of the true state of the laboring popila tion who are within a short distance of their own doors, as if they belonged: to another species. Redundancy of population.—Popula tion has been increasing for many years in almost every town and ham let;: parents cannot find places where their children can earn an honorable support; all trades, pursuits and pro fessions are becomng more and more overstocked; and multitudes of per sons of all degrees and ages are mov ing about without employment, use less to themselves and aburden to the public. “The reviewer recommends emigration to the British colonies, and would teach the people to regard the colonies’as the promised land. Eztravagance-—The prosp#rity of the last 30 years has caused the most extravagant notions and pretensions. "The whole community have departed from the simplicity, foresight and frugality of their fathers, and indulged in notions respecting dress, houses, furntture, living, education, &e. which ‘no wealth ‘can support. - Many are ‘beginning to correct the evil, but the upper classes are even now agreat deal too lofty. As it ishopeless for them to think of raising their fortune to these ideas, they should bring down their -ideas to the level of their for tune. This is a duty which parents should practice themselveés, and in culcate on their offspring. .Such a cliange will increase happiness with out impairing reputation: [This is/ excellent advice, and necessary in the United States as well as in Eng- Jand.] Yey Pl N _The reviewer next takes a view-of the nature and acquired advantages of Great Britain, which are very great —insular situation, commerce, colo lead, tin, copper, coal and iron, fisher ies, sdln?pfirity of the climate, vast cap ital of the ‘merchants and manufactur ers, industrious and skilful laborers, intellectual and moral worth of the middling classes, &c. - With all these advantages, the reviewer thinks that 'rEhglanfznnot rg@g%;egrf resent rank “.hfiitliout‘yg\. con'sté;xt':"fli‘ugie,vwbit{,fif every. succeeding year. will ;jenfk:r; more, trying and severe. ' He is evi ‘dently. appvehensive that the: present order of tlli_ngés’ff-i's verging to a great revolution and to prevent. this; he recomuiends that old incumbrances should be removed, that every branch of public and private economy should be amended, that many ancient insti tutions should be altered, & that those things which obstruct the changes - which the current of events is forcing forward, should be taken away. He " concludessas follows:—:Formidable difficulties must ‘be encountered by us at no great 'distance.” Let the aris tocracy of England, let all who have influence in this' land, bethink them well what they are about. Let them beware of rash actions and rash words. Let them look before they leap.”— ; Hamp. Gaz. DOMIESTIC. The Central Bank.—The Milledge vile Recorder of the 27th ult. says: ““The pencil of a Hogarth would have, been inadequate to the representation of the scene exhibited before the door ‘of the Central' Bank on Saturday last, when the Bank was first opened to pay out money. The State-House passage near the- door of the Bank was crow ded almost to suffocation—the weath er melting hot. Impatience, anxiety, hope ‘and fear were depicted in the countenance of the multitude of ap plicants for money, who had come frem the extreme points of the State, from East, West, North and South. ‘A little past ten o’clock the door of the Bank was opened, whena rush was made to be first at the -Cashier’s desk--the room was istantly crammed so full that those who wished to get out found it very difficult to make their escape—other passions were then conspieuous in the ‘‘human face divine”—joy, anger and despair. This scéne, instructive to the indiffer ent spectator, but at the same time humiliating, continued throughout the day.,’ § * - Lamenieble Event.——Mry. John R. Creecy, of Edenton, N. C. left home several weeksago for Baltimore, and for some time regularly corresponded with Lis fanmly, after which no tidings of him were received, untill very re cently, when a letter from him was found in the ,Post Office at Norfoil, Va. directed to afriend, enclossing the key of his trunk, which he stated he. had sent home. The trunk was found in Norfolk, and on examining it, letters were discovered, in which he mentioned his intention to destroy himself, and that all search after him would be fruitless, as he had fallen on a plan to conceal his body.—'There were many rumours atloat in regard to this ‘mysterious affair. Some of letters appear to have been written very composedly—others' in a” wild and incoherent manner. . Commedore Porier.—~Capt. Miner, of ‘the Lavinta, reports than an at tempt had been made toassassinate Com. Porter.. He had been ordered to the City of Mexico, and on his way thither, in company with a gentleman from New York, and attended by two servants, when about forty leagues from Vera Cruz, he was attacked by a party of mine horseman; two. of whom had advanced to within a short distance of him, when he turned and discovered their intgntions=he instant ly wheeled and shot one of them, who turned out to be the leader, drew his sword, and struck off the hand of the other who had engaged him. The rest seeing their leader fally fled. The chief of the band, it is said is the very man from whom the Commo dore procured his horses for his jour ney.—JMNew Orleans Jfrgus. } From the Rochester N. V. 'Telegraph. Tragical Occurrence.—-A letter from a gentleman at Kingston, Upper Canada, to his friend in this place, mentions ‘the following melancholy particulars: o ‘ On Friday the 4th of June, a young woman arrived in Kingston claiming to be the wife of Mr. Willis, a Portrait Painter; but he refused to recognise her as such, and advised her to return to. Rochester, whence she had come. Mortified and heartbroken with his coldness and brutality—for she had travelled alone and unprotected thro’ many towns of Canada in search of him—she next evening procured some arsenic, and poisoned herself on Sun day morning. She lived for a few mif‘ nutes only after taking the arsenic.— The testimony en the corener’s inquest proved that her maiden name ¢ ‘Lauwra'Butten—that she bid Leen a ‘millener in . Rochestei—tlat_ Wiliis s A e w 8 e i ’ married fier in the spring of lastyear, ‘after an acquaintance oftwo or thiee days—and that a few -él‘ays alter inar riage, he set off for Canada, taking with him. pait of her elothing. &q. and promising to retufn or send for her. After waiting considerable time, without hearing from kLim, she departed in search of him, and Ler fate on find ing him was as above stated. Her. funeral was attended by a number of Canadians and Amevicans, all indignant at the inhuman conduct of her hus band. ; i Murder.—Mahlon Dickinson, over seer of Jos. Stiles, Esq. of Savannoh, was recently murdered about 14 miles from the city, by two negros, & boy and a girl, not more than 16 yea:s of age. The instrument of violence used, were an axe anda hoe. Hig body was buried in the field by the perpetrators, assisted by a fellow slave of riper age, who witnessed the’ whole transaction at a short distance. The three negroes have been arrested. Mr. C. is said to have becn a humane and worthy man, and no reason has been assigned by the negroes con cerned, for his nmrder, except, the long and frequent instigations of {he driver on the cstate. : Shocking Dépravity.—A hox was recently picked up,'en the mississippi, near New-Orleans, contaming the corps of a beautiful infant.——Eroni its appearance, no doubt was enter tained* of its having been born alive. Hew lost to herself and to the world —how lost to all fear of retributive justice, either here or hereaffer— how lost to every pange of humanity, must that mother be, who, to the sa crifice of her virtue, conld add the crime of murder upon the inocent off spring of her guilt! - The Capitol.—The Capitol at Wash ington is finished, and it is truly a magnificent structure.—Rich shrub bery has been well distributed in the great enclosure ‘annexed to it, and from the noble terrace on the west side, the prospect includes the great er part of Washington and George town, and their lofty and picturesque environs, and the river for some miles. This scene, at the setting of the sun’ in fine weather, with the profound stillness on every side, and the aspect of the splendid edifice, is calculated to make a deep impression on one who paces the terrace at that hour. s The silence, the repose, the absence of all bustle, form a peculiar contrast with the movement of every kind and inevery: quarter, and the din of the logocracy, during the session of Con+ gress. It is alone almost worth the trouble of the journey to Washington. N Gaz. “The Moorish Prince.~—~We have seen a lefter from Prince Abduil Rhahaman, late a slave in Mississip pi, dated Monrovia, Colony of Liber -la, (Africa) April 13th. He has as certained that his relatives in Teem bo are_still the reigning family of the country; and is able by means of tray ellers, to transmit or receive commu nications in the space of 15 days.—— “My brother,” he says, ‘“is the pres ent King, having been enthroned three years since; and his benignant and placid qualifications endear him to all his subjects.” 'He expresses the deepest sympathy for his children: who are still in slavery in Mississippi, and says ‘‘their emancipation would be paramount to every other consid eration.” = ’ “Longevity could not be desirable ‘to one whose furrowed cheeks and hoary locks'are on the verge of the grave, under the frozen impression that his offspring are still suffering in hondage. ’Tis all—the last, last hope! the prop of tottering age! who, filled with filtal piety, could drop a ‘tear upon the dust of their departed sire.””—*“l have written to Sierra Leone, fora more direct correspon defi(fiwith my brother, and expect a return by express.”—Jour. of Com. " CiNcinwati, (Ohio) June 16. Trial for Murder.—At the late termr of the Supreme Court in this city, John Cridsall was indicted for the murder of his wife some months past.
