LATE AND VERY IMPORTANT
FROM EUROPE.
The packet stop Napoleon' brings in the
New York editori Liverpool papors to the
COth and London to the 84tb August, in
clusive. Tho intelligence from the seat of
war by this arrival Is highly important. It
appears that th<r Russian General Diob-
itseh, having been reinforced at Aldus with
the oorpy nl 18,0(10 men which had been
landed at Sizabnli,followed the Turks to
ihe town of Kirk Killissa, twenty French
leagues front Constantinople. Here a
great battle took place, In which the Turks
were defeated and dispersed, and (he Rus
sian army was left without any obstacle to
oppose Its march to Constantinople, It
would seem to lie the bold purpose of the
Russian Commander to leave Adrianople
on the .right, and keeping along ike sea 1
with hit left sustained and provisioned by
the fleet,to march directly upon the capi
tnl. If the commander at Adrianople shall
take as much timo to fathom tho move
ments of his enemy, ns he at Choumla did
Count Dieblstch will bo in sight of Coil'
etantinople before the troops at Adriano-
pin begin to mote. Already, according tn
•eeounts from Vienna of tli. 10th. August,
lit anticipation of the approach of the Rus
lian army to Constantinople, many of the
wealthy inhabitants of that capital had re-
tfioved their property, and made prepara
tiops for proceeding to Asia. The frDnfll
of the janissaries bad begun to show them'
•elves at Cnnltaminople, and had set Are to
the Greek suburb of Pert. Fifteen hun
died bouses had been destroyed in .the con
flagration. All accounts seem to 'coucur
In. the fact, that In consequence of some
Mussulmans nfe weary of the enrttoni that
they have ibecn making Tor many years,
and tho heavv burdens' wltiolt they have to
bear. The Russian Columns ate said to bo
pnly sit days maroh from Adrianople, and
tho haste with which all the troops coming
from Asia are ordered to the second capital
of the empire, show the reality of tho dan
ger, Many considerable families hove come
hither from Adrianople. In Asia, too, af
fairs are In a bad condition. The chief of
the suhismalie Armemons, with a Russian
corps, lias taken the fortress ot van, and
thus opened n large field for the operations
of the enemy,this being th« chief teat of the
schlkmatic Armenians.
Tho Porte may soonhave to repeat Its
persecution of tile faithful Catholic Arme
nians, un the perfidious suggestions of this
sort. Tarters are hurrying In all directions
to carry orders or bring intelligehee. The
Aga oftlm Tartars himself has gone to
Trebisond, witero the Russians have at
tempted standing and done much damage.
A Russian squadron is cruising at the en
trance of the Bosphorus, which, tho day be
fore yesterday, made a show of entering the
ohannel. This caused tha greatest alarm,
especially as tha Turkish men of war made
noprepavations|toopposethem,liutwithdrew
into the inner harbor. It seems that the
wind was not favorable and that the Rus
sian Admiral waits for a mere favorable
moment in alarm the unfortunate inhabit
ants of Constantinople.What will bathe fate
of the Ftanks if the Russian Commanders
should sncceed in attacking the capital!

CONSTANTINOPLE. July SO.
(By express.) A Tartar from Rourgas,
has brought tlto news of the landing of a
Russian corps of 12,000 men at Hixeboli.—
The Porte has also receired information
that litis corps had joined the Russian main
army that has passed tha Balkan. Aidos,
Karnabat, and Jahboli, are said to be al
ready occupied by the Russians. Unfa
vorable accounts continue to be received
from Avia. Erzeronm is said to be taken
bythe Russians, and tlio whole army of
the Seiaskier dispersed. The Armenians
every where join the Russians, as they ad-
ranee. All this bad news has caused the
greatest consternation, and preparations arr
making in all speed for thedefenceof Adti-
anopto, of whioh Htisslan Pacha, Govern
or of Smyrna, is appointed Commandant,
Entrenchments for the defence of the capi
tal are also being thrown up with great ac
tivity. Jahia Effondi, Dragoman of the
Porte,is disgraced, and his son-in-law, Es-
pa Effendi, appointed in hit room^>

solemnity- They will also be immediate

Accounts from Smyrna state, that 15,-

immediately proceed to Adrianople. ti
mer Pacha was stilt with a corps, to 8che-
la, the mouth of tho Bosphorus, where the
Russians had made a landing.
Grerct.—It does not appear that the ap
pointment of tlte new Minister of Finanre
had been deolared. The despatches from
Greece are said to refer to the dispute with
the Presdcmt as to the limits ot tho Giack
Territory :—all the Greek Chiefs had do
clared they would not submit tn the limits

revolt wns dreadod.
France.—'The excitement respecting the
new French Ministry was still kept up in

their atlaks on the new Cabinet, wiih in

Critical every hour. The enemy makes
immense progress on every side, and noth
ing but a miracle can save the Sultan un
less he listens to reason, and shows himself
willing to mako peace. The troops are
losing their confidence, and a spirit of mu
tiny has shown itself in some corps; these
oond batalion of Ifotnbadinre has actually
refused to march against ihe enemy, and
its commander lias been beheaded. A
similar mutiny is said to have taken place
at Widdin, whither the Pacha'of Scutari Is
marching with 15,000 Albanians. The
measures adopted are not calculated to in
epire confidence, or avert the dangers that
threaten the capifal, any more than the or
ders that hive been issued to fortify Adri

Kamttchik, which found that the Rus

84th, in the evening.—There the Turkish
troops, 8000 or 7000 infantry, made a
stand, but were defeated by Gen. Rudiger,
who took Aidue, and aursued Ihe enemy

LONDON, Aug. 84.
Letters ofthe 91st have been received
to day from Odessa. They stale that in
cottsequenceof the prompt and energetic
measures adopted by the local authorities
on the manifestation ofthe first symptoms
of titr plague near that city, the contagion
had been so completely checked, that no
fears are entertained of its making any pro
grejs.
LONDON, Aug. 84.
The Tnrkey mail arrived this morning,
bringing letlers from Cons'antinople to the
27th and from Smyrna to the 80th ult —
One letter states that the Sultan, notwlth
standing his unaltered resolution never to
yield to any of the terms proposed by the
Russians, had begun to expetience some
perplexity with regard tu the course of his
own motions, in the event of the enemy ar
riving triumphant a! the gates ofthe capi
tal. Little could be expected from his pre
sence near the scene of operations, where
as it was of the highest importance that his
person should be far from the reach of the
Russians- The city ofBronsa, on the A-
static shore, about 100 miles from Constan
tinople, across the Propontis, was therefore
the place supposed to have been selected
by the Sultan as a retreat in the first in
stance. . Tranquility prevailed in the cap
ital up to the departure of the mail, not
withstanding the uneasiness of the inhabi
tants.—As yet, the Sultan had not remov
ed his head quarters front the valley of Bon
youkdere. ■ The Exchange on England

with respect to tlio war in the East. Tho
Cabinet of St. Janie's appears definitively
to espouse the cause of Turkey, and Dai-
ready preparing to stop by force the pro
jects of Russia, whose successes alarm it.—
The Greek cause is left to its own force,and
the dissensions existing among the Greeks

The United States Telegraph of the 2Bth
ult. contains an article relative to tha late
Assistant Post Master General, and his in
decorous effusion to Mr. Barry, which for
want of room, we ate compelled lo lay over
till our next. Patting aside the heavy
charges of official misconduct which havo
been alleged against Mr. Bradley,ids letter
to the Post Alaster General, we think, a-
bundantly proves his unfitness to hold any
nffica in which gentility would be required,
From the National Intelligencer, 29th ult.
CHEVY CHASE, Sept..23, 1820.
Sin,—When uty friend Simpson was
here on Saturday evening, he was so dip
lomatique, that he conld not well tell whe
ther he came on his own account, or your
account, or on the account of thoso who
manage your official affairs. I gave of
course little heed to his remarks, but told
him of sundry acts, sayings and doings of
yours; which showed your total unfitness
for the Office of Post Master General, and
which must inevitably lead to your imme
diate removal, if known lo the President.
These were told him with the express in
tention that they should be communicated
to you.
No representation on tho subject had
then been prepared and the delay arose
from a reluctance to take any step which
might look like the offspringofresentment.
Upon.furllter reflection however, I have
concluded that|whatoyer appearance it may
have, it ts my duty, both as a citizen, hav
ing a proper regard to the interest of his
country and as an individual having a due
regard to Ills reputation to represont the
subject fully.
There is a law which prohibits the pay
ment of money to any one who is indebted
to the public, until the indebtedness ceas
es. Being no longer your subordinate, it.
has now become my duty, to stale in due
form to the Comptroller of the Treasury,
that your are in that predicament. I have
also added that your indebtedness tu the
amount of ten thousand dollars D as clear,
distinct, and indisputable, as it is in any
case whatever. That he knows very well
as a lawyer, that the pretended eaculpa-
das, he -peremptorily summoned Ur. |
