[ LONDON; THURSDAY, JULY 23. I T is now quite understood among- the best-informed naval circles, -that the important measure autho- rising the sale of naval officers' commissions, has passed the Hon. Board of Privy Council and is only delayed beino-, publicly announced, till the Lords Commissioners of t:>e Admiralty have decided upon the details. The permission to sell will in the first instance be confined to Captains and Commanders; i the former, it is said, will receive j6'-l,0(i0, and the latter E3,0(14, for their commissions. VIENNA, JULY9. — It is reported upon the Exchange, that the Russian troops had quitted Varna in order to occupy barracks without the city, on account of the plague having- manifested itself ivitljiii this intelli- gence appears to us to lequire confirmation. Letters from Odessa speak strongly of negociations for peace, and it is strongly believed that hostilities are about to cease. GIBRALTAR, JULY 2.—M. Beftucci, the Austrian consul at this place, has addressed a note to the Fo- reign consuls at Gibraltar, in which he informs them that, in consequence of the Emperor of Morocco refu- sing to accept ttie friendly offers made to him by the Austrian Ambassador, in the name of his august Ma- jesty, the Emperor, liis altef t e systemjof moderation which he has pursued hitherto, and will [),t a firm and hostile course. Consequently^ he declares that the Austrians will blockade some of the poitsof the Emperor of Morocco; but as the intention °t his august Ai;ije'sty isc.not to prejudice the commerce friendly nations, 'the blockade will have no other object than to hinder the introduction of arms, warlike stores, Sec. A Russian bulletin from the camp at Jeudkhe Kioi, before Schollmla, dated June 2-lth, is published in the Austrian Observer of the 12th. It is as follows 41 The Grand Vizier, who on the second day after his defeat succeeded in returning to Schoumla, at the head of a small detachment of cavalry, makes vain exertions to re-organize an army. The "fugitives who succeed in returning to the fortress in small parties, are not in sufficient number to fill up the immense chasms in the ranks. Besides, most of the soldiers, as well of the j regular as the irregular corps, have taken advantage of the defeat to endeavour to return to their own homes, so that of 40,000 mi n tljat jjie Grand Vizier had befote Pravadi, scarcely 1~,0(10 will have returned to their colours. Our army, av iitlng the issue of the siege of Silistria, is in a position to observe the movements of the Turks, and to hinder them from interrupting, I even for a moment, the operations of the besieg- ing- corps. Meantime, the enemy, terrified by his defeat at Kulawtscha, remains shut up in Stiumla, and has not even ventured to attempt any thing against Lieut. General Prince Madatoff, who, at the head of 16 squadrons, advanced on the 16th of this month to EsIÜ Dschuma, which he found deserted." Accounts from Bucharest of June 28, mention that General Geismar after taking Rachova, sent on the 19th June, a detachment consisting of a regiment of Dragoons and 350 Cossacks, to check the Turks on the right bank of the river Iskra, and to pursue Hus- sein Pacha who had fled from Rachova. This detach- ment succeeded in dispersing a body of 200 Turks, fro™ which they took one standard and 37 prisoners. J he Russians afterwards attacked a detachment of 500 Turks, most of whom fell in the action. On the 25th of June, some Turks sallied from Ghiurgevo, who were driven back, and 15 killed or taken prisoners. BRUSSELS, JULY 21.-We extract the following arti- cle from the Correspondent £ >f Nuremberg:—"It is said that the Emperor of Russia has sent an extraor- (iiiiary envoyto CtAfistautinoplc, to deliver an ultima- nm to the Sultan, and to make him sensible of his situation. This message is stated to announce to him, ii fi16 ^.or*e> consents to the demands of Russia, will find in the Emperor a friend to the Divan as ar- dent as he has hitherto been an enemy: that he will act in all his relations with the greatest precision; that the Porte must not reckon upon other auxiliaries, for draw favourable inferences from the inaction of some states. It is added that an extraordinary envoy iom Prussia is to support these representations. In tact, Lieutenant General 31uffling has just left Berlin upon a secret mission with a travelling companion, They appear both to expect to make a voyage by sea."
