Lute Foreign Mewa. FflOM THE THEATRE OP WAR | RUSSIA AND TURKEY. 1 etters from Vienna, which! appear entitled to c'/i'edit, an-! nntntce cpttie positively, that the siege of Si mm la has been raised, and that the Russians are on the retreat. They suf fer a good deal of embarras rnent in removing the sick and wounded, who amount to be tween thirty and forty thou sand. We arc induced entirely to credit this intelligence, as the necessity of the retreat was an ticipated in previous advices, and its commencement stated ev en in one of the Russian Bul letins. The event shows that the Russians have involved themselves in difficulty; and also indicates the firmness of the Turkish garrison. It is stated likewise, that Varna is about to he relieved by Husse in Pacha; and the prospects of Russia appear to he far from flattering. On this subject the London Sun remarks: ‘The Russians have raised the siege of Shuinla without e von having made an attempt To storm it—and now, if they fail in taking Vania, their game is up. for this campaign af least —if not for years to come. Put we can hardly believe, after t. 1 the boasts which the Kmpe r >'* set out with, his determi nation to have indemnity for the *0 past and security for the future: that he will dare to desist even IVo o this campaign without a chieving someone grand feat worthy bis own fame, if not his hopes, and commensurate with the expectations formed’ by the world of his three him <lrcd thousand mm. If he tail in taking Varna, we would not give much for his head. That sickness to a very great extent prevails in his armies we can readily believe—lmt that was a casualty to be expected when !ic commenced the war, and might to have been prepared for; that want of forage and provisions pressed on the troops Indwe Shnmla, is noth ing strange—such misfortunes arc the usual consequences at tending an invading army, and p\uc scantiness of the supply must he in proportion to the number of the invaders. TovstANTixon.E, Sept. 12th. The Turks are still iti the in toxication of victory, hut great .ahum had been excited bv the landing of the Kussians near Bmi gas. On receiving this news the Grand Vizier stopped at Adrianoplc. He appears to have entered into concert with t’U'Sein lacha to attempt to v cji. vc Varna. The measures for the dt fence of the capital are a< t- i ively prosecuted. On the 7th of Sep tember* 13,000 kindish cavalry land id at the Dardanelles, and at the en virons ’of Constantinople took the road to Shuinla, hut the taxes in the capital continue to increase, and busi ; ness is at a stand. Great care, how ever, is taken to provide for wants of the people. The Caituacan has late ly made a general inspection of ba kers* Shops; on this occasion 20 ba ; kers were nailed hy the cars to their own doors. During this cruel opera lion several of them smoked their pipes with the greatest indifference. Paris, Oct. 7. It now appears decided that our troops will retirn from the Morea, after Ibrahim Pacha has embarked. This is certainly important, as it does away with all hostile views on the part of the French Government in the Mediterranear and in Kgypt; it also proves that Fiance continues in the greatest friendship with England. Geneva, October 1. The celebrated novelist, Cooper, has been for some days in this city. AMUSEMENT. DIRGE. TO THE MF.MORT OE MISS ELLEN ORE, OP rew —who died in consequence of a sting in the eye .

Awkwardness in Eating and Drinking. Is it not absurd that a man can t even take a glass of wine without an appear ance of infinite difficulty and pain? Eat ing an Egg at breakfast, we allow, is a difficult operation, but surely a glass of. nine after dinner should be as easy us it is, undoubtedly, agreeable. The egg lies under many disadvantages. If you leave the egg cup on the table, you have ‘ to steady it with the one hand and carry the floating nutriment a distance of about two feet with the other, and always with a confoundedly small spoon, and some- 1 times with rather unsteady fingers. To avoid this, you take the egg cup in your hand and every spoonful -have to lay it j down again, in order to help yourself to! bread: so upon the whole we disapprove of eggs, unless, indeed, you take them in our old mode at Oxford; that is, two eggs I smashed up with every cup of tea, and. purified with a glass of hot rum. But the glass of wine—-can any thing he 1 more easy? One would think not; but if you take notice the next time you empty, a gallon with a friend, you will see that, sixteen to one lie makes the most convul sive efforts to do with ease what a person would naturally suppose was the easiest thing: in the first place, how hard he grasps the decanter, leaving the misty! marks of live hot fingers on the glittering crystal, which ought to be pure as Come- ; lia s fame? Then remark at what an acute:j angle he holds Ids right elbow as if he, were meditating an assault on hi* neigh hi m's libs; tl cn see how he claps the t t !c down again, as it” his object was to shake the pure liquor, and make it mud- 1 dy a-< his own brains, Mark how the animal seizes his glass—he will break it ! in a thousand fragments! see how he bows ’ his lubberly head to meet half way the glorious cargo; how he slobbers the beve rage over his unmeaning gullet, and chucks down the glass so as almost to break its stem after he had emptied it of its contents, as if it had been jalap or castor oil! Call you that taking a glass of wiuef Sir, it is putting wine into your gullet as you would put small beer into a barrel—*hut it is not—oh, no! it U not taking, so as to enjoy, a glass of red, rich port, or glowing warm, tinted, beautiful caveza! * Blackwood's Magazine. carinetT": wanitentox, AOr. 29. 1828. j LA US DEO! 7 The election of Gen. Andrew Jack son to the Chief Magistracy of the Unit- i ed States, is now certain. We never had the least doubt about the result—but the ( overwhelming majorities he has received,; and is receiving, in almost every State we hear from, have, we must admit, most a greeably surprised us. On an event so auspicious to the well being of our gov ernment, we do heartily congratulate the old and staunch Republicans of the J< fter sonian School. They have gained a mo ral victory—they have achieved a triumph of principle—which will fix ou r political institutions upon a firmer basis than ever. In the retirement of Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, we wish them all the happiness they can possibly enjoy. The former gentleman is politically annihilated—re quiescet in pace: The latter, but for his unfortunate connexion, would at this tune, had he served bis country “wi*h half the zeal he served the King,” occupy a larg er space in the public eye than any man living. “ANTI DUELLING ” On this subject we publish in this morn ing’s Cabinet , the proceedings of a Meet ing at Milledgeville, composed of a num ber of distinguished individuals from va rious parts of our State. The object in view, as far as it goes, is certainly lauda ble; and will, no doubt, receive the hear ty concurrence of every advocate of phi lanthropy and good order. Although we should like to sec the* ex tirpation of this only formidable remnant of Gothic barbarity which’ ooiv lingers among us, yet we cannot refrain from of fering our dissent to the popular opinion, that “Municipal regulations (or civil e naotments) are inadequate to reclaim the evils of duelling.*’—Let the Law declare! duelling a CAPITAL offence—or, should! such an edict be considered too sanguina-< ry, let a penalty be imposed sufficiently; degrading in its character to push the of fender without the pale of society—and our life for it, if the law be ENFORCED, this species of Chivalry would soon be come extinct, or of such rare and infa mous occurrence as would forever pre* dude its recognition in the attractive garb of an honorable custom. In this country we know no higher tri bunal than the laws—public opinion, un assisted by their salutary influence, must always be inefficient in its operations.— Private Conventions or Associations, are not clothed with those imposing and so lemn responsibilities which so peculiarly belong to the Legislature and the Judicia ry— they may, indeed, do much good in meliorating the general morals of society; but to suppose that their influence is par amount to the influence of the latter, ar gues, in our mind, an ignorance of human nature and a departure from those con ventional bonds instituted by a common consent for the preservation of the social compact. However, as it appears that the moral ; condition of the country is not yet ripe j enough to punish legally such atrocious i offenders against her ptaco and safety, as 1 Duellists emphatically aie, we must con tent ourselves, as it is the only alterna tive before us, with throwing our mite in to the scale of the contemplated Societies and wishing them “God speed.” THE LEGISLATURE. In Senate. —l he bill requiring Justices to give bond and security, was recommit- ■ •ted on the 19th inst. to a select committee. Ihe bill to compel the Judges of the Superior Court to alternate whs taken up on the same day in committee—after ” Rich a motion was made for the commit tee to rise and report the bill with amend i ment, which was carried. The report was | taken up and agreed to by the Senate, and j the bill passed. On the succeeding uay | a motion to reconsider the bill was lost by a vote of 37 to 26. Ttie following bills have been passed: To divide Lee county, and call the new county Randolph. To change the mode of appointing offi cers of the Penitentiary. To give to the county of Muscogee half of a square lot in Columbus, for the erec tion of a town house. On the 21st, the bill to provide for a convention to revise and amend the con* stitution of this State, was taken up and lost. Yeas 26—Nays 38, On the follow ing day. however, a motion to reconsider prevailed. In the House , up to our present dates, nothing of importance has transpired since our last. The bill to abolish Penitentia ry confinement has been made the special order of the day for Monday next. ELECTORAL ELECTION. The same culpable negligence which i was exhibited in the returns from several counties at our last general is as strongly marked in the late returns of the ejection for Electors. The rejection, hy the Executivq, of the defeciive votes, will open the eyes of the people, and make (hem a little more careful in the selection of their magistrates. .

Reporter of the 20th inst. says, “It is understood that the venerable Nathaniel Macon has re signed his seat in the Senate of the United States.” RUSSIA AND TURNEY From the complexion of the foreign in telligence in our columns of to-day, it would appear that the Autocrat of ali toe Russia* has, dike “The king es Franc# with forty thousand men', March'd up the hill, and theo.!...mreh‘d down again.” By the by, instead of 40 000 men, nnr friend Nicky has marshalled in the field 300 000! safety, and the Muezzin’s call to prayer is still chaunt?d from Imr lofty minarets. In truth, the opposition oHhe followers of Mahomet has been more formidable than the Emperor of Russia anticipated. He has been disappointed too in the co operation of his “dearly beloved*’ Allies. I he battle of Xavarino induced him to be. lieve, that he would be supported in the present contest by the puissant arms of France and England— but since that peri od they have not once said “Turkey tff ’ him”. Jealous, however, of the maritime I extension of his power, they have with jheld their support, and are now looking upon the progress of the combat, as silent but not uninterested spectators. The voice of Greece is lost in the roar of bnfthc ar.d the din of conflicting interests. What will be the result of the struggle, and how her tate will be affected by it, are ques* tiors. we are not prepared at present to anticipate. I Gs one thing, however, we are pretty ( ceitain, that Rothschild, the Leviathan Banker, w ill derive more benefit from the contest between the Bear and the Cres cent, than any other power in Europe.— It said that he has lent Russia an immense sum to prosecute the war.
